*******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***********
Amanda, a girl around the age of 14/15 sat in the windowsill of her room with her knees pulled to her chest, she watched the cars pass on the street thinking fondly of her brothers and how she will see them again.
It had been so long, 3 years to be exact she hadn't seen them. They were both very successful business people studying in high-tech arts and computers majoring in advanced technology. When they were younger they had taken her in when she was little after her mom and dad died. They were really her cousins but she was so close to them they became her guardian brothers. They had taught her and raised her to be like them and they loved her very much they were very protective of her. She smiled and brushed her curly brown hair out of her face thinking about the old days when she was younger and her brothers raising her.
*~*Flash Back*~*
"Amanda, what are you doing up so late you should be asleep. You have school tomorrow. And you know how much you need to ace that test." "I'm sorry Jarom. I know you're concerned for me I've been studying about this stuff for a long time I think I can handle it. I really appreciate the time you've been taking to help me with this." "No problem Amanda you know I would do anything for you. Your like a little sister to me, nothing will change that ever."
*~*End Flash Back*~*
"Jarom will never let anything happen to me..." She whispered to no one in particular as she watched the sun set slowly over the horizon she thought of Ammon, her other brother. She sighed remembering what Ammon told her when they left.
*~*Flash Back*~*
"Amanda, I know this will be the longest time away from us but I know you can handle it. Whatever happens along the way just remember that we will always be there for you no matter what. I promise that to you." He said as she hugged him crying. "I know...but I'll miss you so much, do you have to leave?" She asked trying her best to keep from sobbing. "Yes I'm afraid we do. But don't worry Amanda, its not like were gonna just go off and never come back. I love you more than anything you mean the world to me and nothings ever gonna change that." He said as he hugged her then he got up and ran his hand through her hair and sighed sadly.
"We have to leave now. I'll miss you very much. We'll write you and send things to you as soon as we can." "I understand. I love you and I'll miss you very much!" She wiped away her tears and forced a smile on her face and waved at her departing brothers and nearly broke down when she saw them step onto the plane. 'Don't cry only weak ones cry your not weak! Your not! You have to show them you can live without them. You have to show the world you can make it without anyone's help!' She thought to herself.
*~*End Flash Back*~*
She wiped a tear from her face watching the last rays of the sun disappear from the sky. "He wouldn't let anything happen to me either...Oh god why do I always break down and cry when it comes to them? I guess I got too attached...But if its been 3 years how come I still am like this?" She thought to herself out loud. She sighed sadly and changed into her pjs and got into bed and turned the light off and went into a dreamless sleep letting her emotions inside twirl and swirl.
*~*Jarom's POV*~*
I sat in the limo typing furiously on my laptop I was designing a program to run off of a Unix box server one connected line. I sighed as I tried to de-bug the errors in it and I smirked when I finally succeeded. 'Jeez this is hard...I hope Kaiba will be happy with this...' I thought to myself then I minimized the window and pulled up another file and was surprised to see that I had made an error and a picture popped up. It was a picture of Ammon and Amanda and me standing there laughing at the park.
*~*Flash Back*~*
"Come on Jarom you promised!" Shrieked a delighted Mandi. It was a Saturday, I had promised that I would take her to the park as my day off and Ammon had agreed to come along. "Alright, you win let's go." I said and I got up from my chair and we both headed for the door and went outside and started walking towards the park. Ammon would be coming a little later because of his work. Mandi spun and danced down the street and did a few cartwheels very happy then she stopped abruptly and turned to me. "JAROM! I'LL RACE YOU TO THE PARK!" She laughed evilly and took off running down the street at full force. I laughed to myself and waited a few seconds then took off running after her "YOUR NOT GONNA GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yelled as I chased her.
She ran all the way to the park and tagged a pole and yelled "I WIN!" I stopped running right next to her and panted. "Your getting faster, I don't think I'll be racing you much longer your getting too good." I smiled as she laughed and replied, "Well then I'll be able to tell everyone of my friends that I can outrace my genius of a brother!" "I'm not a genius but I am your brother and DON'T YOU DARE TELL ANYONE THAT YOU CAN BEAT ME AT RACING!" I said as I tackled her to the ground in the grass and we laughed and wrestled around like little children. "Well well well, what do we have here? A pair of sumo wrestlers in a mud wrestling match?" Came a laughing voice from behind us. "AMMON!" Mandi shrieked and jumped up and tackled him to the ground and wrestled with him.
I saw Ammon get a big grin across his face and he whipped around and pinned Mandi in the grass laughing, "I can see you're still a little sloppy at reacting." He said. I shook my head and walked over to them both and sat down by them and Ammon got off Mandi and sat there in the grass recovering from her attack as she just laid there staring up at the sky. "Hey, What's up with you Mand, you seem out of it." Ammon said to Mandi "What? Oh I'm sorry I was just thinking about something..." "Like what?" I asked softly. "Well, I was thinking about my school...They wanted me to do a system restart for their servers and well...I said sure but when I took a look at it, its more worse than I expected...I cant figure out a way around the base of the problem and...I don't know what to do about it and when they asked me what was wrong I tensed up and said that it wasn't that bad..." came her soft and timid reply. "I'm sure you'll find the problem and be able to work it out. How about I come over after work and help you with it?" Ammon said suggestively. "Oh would you??" "Yeah sure, no problems for me I can make it." "OHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
I watched and couldn't help but grin as she launched herself onto Ammon and hugged and clinged to him. "Anything for my lil sister, anything." I heard Ammon say. Then we all got up and decided it was time to go then someone passed us by with a camera and asked if they could take a picture Mandi willingly said yes and dragged us over and we stood there and smiled and the picture was taken and we went home after that, ate and finished our work and went to bed.
*~*End Flash Back*~*
I smiled as the limo pulled up into the airport. Ammon would be arriving shortly behind him. I climbed out of the limo and stretched and I headed inside to wait. I was surprised to see Ammon already here. He looked at me with a big grin on his face. "Hey bro, what took you so long to get here??" He asked me. "I was busy working on something for Kaiba as you very well know Ammon." "Yeah yeah were meeting him tomorrow right?" "Yes that's right, we ready?" "Ready as soon as they are," Ammon said nodding to the crowd of people gathering to get on the plane. "Lets go then." I said and we both started towards the crowd.
*~*Ammon's POV*~*
As both Jarom and I walked over to the line and stood there waiting I could help but keep thinking of Mandi, it had been 3 years since we had both seen her. 'How much has she changed? How much has she grown?' I thought these things through my mind and hardly noticed that it was time to board the plane until I heard Jarom, "Well, are you just going to stand there all 'gaga' like?" I glared at him for a moment then followed behind him as we got on the plane. I took my seat and looked out the window and went back to thinking about Mandi and the past.
*~*Flash Back*~*
"Amanda? Amanda you know your not supposed to be here out this late." I said to the little 12 yr old Amanda as she looked up with her deep blue eyes that seemed so...Dark, intense and yet...so innocent. "Hai, I know Ammon. I'm very sorry but I had finished my work and I wanted to watch the sunset...I am very sorry." I looked down at her, her eyes sparkling like diamonds and sapphires. I couldn't stay mad at her.
"Very well, your brother Jarom was worried about you and so was I. You must tell us these things before you do them. Jarom actually had a fit really he was shouting 'where is she?!? If anything happened to her...' it was pretty funny seeing him flip out but he really meant it." I watched as tears formed in the corners of her eyes. "I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to cause such a commotion." She whispered to me. I barely heard what she said her voice was so soft. I saw a tear run down the side of her face. I bent down by her and wrapped my arms around her hugging her and comforted her and I whispered back, "It wasn't your fault. You didn't know what would've happened. Your still learning and growing, I'm sure anyone would've reacted just like Jarom had. I was about to. Then I remembered you saying something about how pretty it was to watch the sunset."
I wiped the tear away off of her face with my hand and picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder and I carried her back to the limo and climbed inside and she fell asleep on my lap. When we arrived at home I carried her upstairs and put her in bed and pulled the covers up around her and left the room closing the door silently behind me and came back downstairs. "She's just fine Jarom just chill before you get all worked up." I said to Jarom who looked like he was gonna start yelling and break all hell out.
"SHE SHOULDN'TVE BEEN OUT THERE AMMON AND YOU KNOW IT! GOD SOMETHING COULDVE HAPPENED TO HER AND WE WOULDNTVE KNOWN!" He yelled at me, his face growing red from his anger. I had seen him very angry at times but never THIS angry. "Jarom calm down she didn't mean to upset you like this, she is after all, a young girl. She's still learning how to act and behave, she's still learning the rules and facts of life. It really isn't her fault, she wanted to get away and think. You should respect that from her, not try and take it away." I said trying to take the annoyance and hurt out of my voice. I hated it when Jarom yelled I hated it. It felt like he was meaning it to me instead of everyone else. We were brothers naturally but something apart from that just made me seem...I don't know apart of him. Not like bonded, but more like we shared a part of our souls. If something happened to him directly I would feel it and if anything happened directly to me, he would feel it.
"Your right...I shouldn't have over-reacted she is just a girl but she is our responsibility. We have to take care of her and in her best interest I say she should try to remind us of where and what she's going to do and be at." "I perfectly agree with that but she does tend to forget things when she has her mind on work and other things like that. I'll keep an eye on her for the time being." I said to Jarom hoping that he was calming down now.
*~*End Flash Back*~*
Amanda woke up the next day at 5:00 a.m. She stretched and then yawned deeply and went downstairs to the kitchen and turned the light on and went to the refrigerator and opened the door and took out the milk and orange juice and she got out a bowl and a spoon and poured herself a bowl of cereal and poured the milk into the bowl and poured herself a glass of orange juice and she sat down at the table and started eating. She thought about her schoolwork and her computer programs she would have to finish when she got to school, but that didn't bother her so much since there was going to be something else she had to do after school.
She finished her breakfast and put the bowl and spoon in the dishwasher and put the milk and orange juice away and she went upstairs and took a long hot shower and went to her room and changed into her school uniform and came downstairs and pulled out her notebook and started writing down computer commands for her program at school so she wouldn't forget them when it was time for class. She waited until it was 8:45 before she got her coat and went outside and started walking towards her school. She arrived 15 minutes later due to the fact she took the long way.
It was now 9:00 exactly she ran up the steps of the school and went inside carrying her books and bag she made her way down the hall to her locker, she opened her locker and put her bag and books inside taking other books and papers out in place of the ones she dropped off and she shut her locker again and started walking down the halls to her class. She was absent mindedly thinking on other things and wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and knocked into someone and it made her drop almost everything she was carrying. She bent down and started picking up her books and papers and started apologizing quickly for what she had done. "I'm very sorry for knocking into you, I guess my mind was elsewhere." She said looking up to see that the person she knocked into was none other than the famous Seto Kaiba. "Makes two of us." He said coldly, looking the over the girl from top to bottom.
She had brown hair that was to her shoulders but was curled. If straightened, her hair would be past her shoulders. She had dark, intense mystifying blue eyes that seemed to go on forever, yet they seemed so innocent as well as deadly. Her complexion was a fare color. Dark, but not too dark and not light either, more in between than anything else. She stood at about 5'6 or 5'7 her figure was tall and feminine build; she had the body of a dancer or model. She looked about his age but something said she wasn't.
"Your in one of the same classes as me aren't you?" he asked locking his blue eyes with hers. "Yes I am. I am in advanced accelerated Unix systems class, same as you." She replied still trying to arrange her books back in order as she held Kaiba's stare. "I see, you don't look old enough to be in the class and you don't really look like the genius kind who could run a Unix server. How old are you anyways?" He asked her, not breaking his gaze on her. "I happen to be 15. Well...nearly and you say I don't look the type to run a Unix server? What about you? You really don't look the type that could run an entire corporation but yet you do. Further more if you're so smart and everything running KaibaCorp. and all why do you bother taking Unix server classes?" Came her cold reply she stared right back into his dark cold eyes, searching his eyes, looking into him, into his soul, but came across a barrier, one she couldn't see nor get past. She knew she had barriers of her own, but she knew that everyone could see around or through them, that's how she lived her life, she made excuses for her barriers. She didn't try to hide them unlike Kaiba as she suspected did.
Kaiba was taken aback by her words but caught himself quickly and sneered, "When you're the CEO of a corporation who's industries are expanding by the second running full time servers off of Unix and Linux server boxes you have to know how to keep up so I'm taking the classes only because of that." He stared into her eyes again searching her as she did him, he found hardly any barriers but when he did and tried to get around, he couldn't, but he could see through the barrier and see through her.
Amanda held his stare not knowing how much longer she could stand his intense gaze. "I see, so basically your telling me that your only taking that class is so you can keep up with an ever profiting company?" "In a matter of speaking yes." "Fine with me. I could see my brothers doing that if they had your position." "You have brothers?" "Yeah, but I don't see them often actually, one of them works for you I daresay." "What's the name of your brother?" "Jarom Mills, He owns one of his own companies and when I heard from him last he had said he had merged with your own corporation." "And who are you?" "Amanda" "No last name unlike your brother?" He snickered but then somewhat wished he hadn't said a thing. "My last name is not important. He really isn't my brother, just my guardian...or one of them at least..." She broke his gaze and looked at the floor 'Now you've done it Amanda, you just told him that you don't have a family.' She thought to herself. "I see. Well, I do recall your brother merging with KaibaCorp. I presume your other 'brother' is Ammon Mills." "You are correct." She replied to him in her 'buisness' tone. "I see, he has also merged with my company a few months after your other 'brother' had. I suppose maybe your brother Jarom talked him into it." "Their minds don't think alike but maybe so, Ammon is stubborn when it comes to good deals but he never passes one by when he realizes it's a good deal. So I have hardly any doubt that Jarom talked him into this one."
"You sound like your trying to interest me into something with your tone of voice." "I'm merely using my buisness act to get by in this world Kaiba, there's not a law against it. My brothers taught me in the ways of buisness, technology and arts. I plan to use them to my advantages." "So you are trying to take advantage of me." "No, I'm merely stating the fact that I could if I wanted but seeing that you're already interested I rest my case." She replied with a smirk on her face.
Kaiba was taken aback at her remark. She HAD interested him by this and he hadn't realized it. 'Hmm...She's smart for her age. I better watch out for her. I'll need to background check her and her brothers.' He thought to himself. "Maybe so Amanda, but you'll need more than just words and a slick attitude to interest me. Your words can catch ones eye but there's a little something called 'bluffing' I believe you tend to use as well." "I never bluff Kaiba. Ask my brothers that. They know me well enough. Hell, they're the ones who raised me to be like this. Buisness-like, creative, intelligent, poise, I daresay they even taught me to be a hellfire demon."
"They also gave you a cocky attitude." He simply smirked. "No, I happen to come by that naturally due to that fact that's why they taught me to be a hellfire demon." She looked up back into his eyes again, her eyes blazing with fire in them showing him that she was in fact, a demon. Kaiba stared into her eyes watching the flames in them, she was a demon, but what she didn't know about him was that he could put that fire in her eyes out easily. "You don't scare me Amanda, you just hide behind those walls and use your words to scare people off, but naturally, your personality isn't like that. You cant stand hurting others, you build up a temporary wall then set it back down when you've scared the person away and go on with living your life. As I said you're merely bluffing." Came his cool and cold reply. Amanda's eyes flashed then burned more as she locked her eyes with Kaiba's eyes. "I don't bluff, and I'm not at all who you think I am. True I hate hurting people but I will and can if necessary and I will use any means to reach my goal." Kaiba stared right into her eyes, trying to see past her barrier and break through it to unnerve her but it wasn't happening. "So you will go to the extremes to get what you want correct?" "Yes, unless I think the risk is to much." "HA! Now that's what I call a bluff." "Unlike some people who don't really have other matters and issues to take care of they think it's a bluff. But really more of a threat that's useless but can be used over and over." She replied with a smirk across her face taking small pride at the confused look on Seto Kaiba's face.
"Well, looks like this would be my class." She said smiling turning to enter the class but the door was closed just as she started to open it. She whirled to see Kaiba's face right near her own. "Listen," He growled at her, "I've had enough of your mind games, if you think you're so smart about this then come over to my mansion after school at 6:30 pm sharp." Then he added, "Don't be late." And he pushed off from the wall and walked off to his class, disappearing into the crowd. 'What does he mean 'mind games?' Why does it seem there was more to that then a threat?' She thought to herself as she entered the classroom and smiled as she noticed all her friends in the class and she quickly walked over and sat at their table and nodded at the group.

It had been so long, 3 years to be exact she hadn't seen them. They were both very successful business people studying in high-tech arts and computers majoring in advanced technology.

"I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to cause such a commotion." She whispered to me. I barely heard what she said her voice was so soft. I saw a tear run down the side of her face. I bent down by her and wrapped my arms around her hugging her and comforted her and I whispered back, "It wasn't your fault. You didn't know what would've happened. Your still learning and growing, I'm sure anyone would've reacted just like Jarom had. I was about to. Then I remembered you saying something about how pretty it was to watch the sunset."
I wiped the tear away off of her face with my hand and picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder and I carried her back to the limo and climbed inside and she fell asleep on my lap. When we arrived at home I carried her upstairs and put her in bed and pulled the covers up around her and left the room closing the door silently behind me and came back downstairs. "She's just fine Jarom just chill before you get all worked up." I said to Jarom who looked like he was gonna start yelling and break all hell out.
"SHE SHOULDN'TVE BEEN OUT THERE AMMON AND YOU KNOW IT! GOD SOMETHING COULDVE HAPPENED TO HER AND WE WOULDNTVE KNOWN!" He yelled at me, his face growing red from his anger. I had seen him very angry at times but never THIS angry. "Jarom calm down she didn't mean to upset you like this, she is after all, a young girl. She's still learning how to act and behave, she's still learning the rules and facts of life. It really isn't her fault, she wanted to get away and think. You should respect that from her, not try and take it away." I said trying to take the annoyance and hurt out of my voice. I hated it when Jarom yelled I hated it. It felt like he was meaning it to me instead of everyone else. We were brothers naturally but something apart from that just made me seem...I don't know apart of him. Not like bonded, but more like we shared a part of our souls. If something happened to him directly I would feel it and if anything happened directly to me, he would feel it.
"Your right...I shouldn't have over-reacted she is just a girl but she is our responsibility. We have to take care of her and in her best interest I say she should try to remind us of where and what she's going to do and be at." "I perfectly agree with that but she does tend to forget things when she has her mind on work and other things like that. I'll keep an eye on her for the time being." I said to Jarom hoping that he was calming down now.
*~*End Flash Back*~*
Amanda woke up the next day at 5:00 a.m. She stretched and then yawned deeply and went downstairs to the kitchen and turned the light on and went to the refrigerator and opened the door and took out the milk and orange juice and she got out a bowl and a spoon and poured herself a bowl of cereal and poured the milk into the bowl and poured herself a glass of orange juice and she sat down at the table and started eating. She thought about her schoolwork and her computer programs she would have to finish when she got to school, but that didn't bother her so much since there was going to be something else she had to do after school.
She finished her breakfast and put the bowl and spoon in the dishwasher and put the milk and orange juice away and she went upstairs and took a long hot shower and went to her room and changed into her school uniform and came downstairs and pulled out her notebook and started writing down computer commands for her program at school so she wouldn't forget them when it was time for class. She waited until it was 8:45 before she got her coat and went outside and started walking towards her school. She arrived 15 minutes later due to the fact she took the long way.
It was now 9:00 exactly she ran up the steps of the school and went inside carrying her books and bag she made her way down the hall to her locker, she opened her locker and put her bag and books inside taking other books and papers out in place of the ones she dropped off and she shut her locker again and started walking down the halls to her class. She was absent mindedly thinking on other things and wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and knocked into someone and it made her drop almost everything she was carrying. She bent down and started picking up her books and papers and started apologizing quickly for what she had done. "I'm very sorry for knocking into you, I guess my mind was elsewhere." She said looking up to see that the person she knocked into was none other than the famous Seto Kaiba. "Makes two of us." He said coldly, looking the over the girl from top to bottom.
She had brown hair that was to her shoulders but was curled. If straightened, her hair would be past her shoulders. She had dark, intense mystifying blue eyes that seemed to go on forever, yet they seemed so innocent as well as deadly. Her complexion was a fare color. Dark, but not too dark and not light either, more in between than anything else. She stood at about 5'6 or 5'7 her figure was tall and feminine build; she had the body of a dancer or model. She looked about his age but something said she wasn't.
"Your in one of the same classes as me aren't you?" he asked locking his blue eyes with hers. "Yes I am. I am in advanced accelerated Unix systems class, same as you." She replied still trying to arrange her books back in order as she held Kaiba's stare. "I see, you don't look old enough to be in the class and you don't really look like the genius kind who could run a Unix server. How old are you anyways?" He asked her, not breaking his gaze on her. "I happen to be 15. Well...nearly and you say I don't look the type to run a Unix server? What about you? You really don't look the type that could run an entire corporation but yet you do. Further more if you're so smart and everything running KaibaCorp. and all why do you bother taking Unix server classes?" Came her cold reply she stared right back into his dark cold eyes, searching his eyes, looking into him, into his soul, but came across a barrier, one she couldn't see nor get past. She knew she had barriers of her own, but she knew that everyone could see around or through them, that's how she lived her life, she made excuses for her barriers. She didn't try to hide them unlike Kaiba as she suspected did.
Kaiba was taken aback by her words but caught himself quickly and sneered, "When you're the CEO of a corporation who's industries are expanding by the second running full time servers off of Unix and Linux server boxes you have to know how to keep up so I'm taking the classes only because of that." He stared into her eyes again searching her as she did him, he found hardly any barriers but when he did and tried to get around, he couldn't, but he could see through the barrier and see through her.
Amanda held his stare not knowing how much longer she could stand his intense gaze. "I see, so basically your telling me that your only taking that class is so you can keep up with an ever profiting company?" "In a matter of speaking yes." "Fine with me. I could see my brothers doing that if they had your position." "You have brothers?" "Yeah, but I don't see them often actually, one of them works for you I daresay." "What's the name of your brother?" "Jarom Mills, He owns one of his own companies and when I heard from him last he had said he had merged with your own corporation." "And who are you?" "Amanda" "No last name unlike your brother?" He snickered but then somewhat wished he hadn't said a thing. "My last name is not important. He really isn't my brother, just my guardian...or one of them at least..." She broke his gaze and looked at the floor 'Now you've done it Amanda, you just told him that you don't have a family.' She thought to herself. "I see. Well, I do recall your brother merging with KaibaCorp. I presume your other 'brother' is Ammon Mills." "You are correct." She replied to him in her 'buisness' tone. "I see, he has also merged with my company a few months after your other 'brother' had. I suppose maybe your brother Jarom talked him into it." "Their minds don't think alike but maybe so, Ammon is stubborn when it comes to good deals but he never passes one by when he realizes it's a good deal. So I have hardly any doubt that Jarom talked him into this one."
"You sound like your trying to interest me into something with your tone of voice." "I'm merely using my buisness act to get by in this world Kaiba, there's not a law against it. My brothers taught me in the ways of buisness, technology and arts. I plan to use them to my advantages." "So you are trying to take advantage of me." "No, I'm merely stating the fact that I could if I wanted but seeing that you're already interested I rest my case." She replied with a smirk on her face.
Kaiba was taken aback at her remark. She HAD interested him by this and he hadn't realized it. 'Hmm...She's smart for her age. I better watch out for her. I'll need to background check her and her brothers.' He thought to himself. "Maybe so Amanda, but you'll need more than just words and a slick attitude to interest me. Your words can catch ones eye but there's a little something called 'bluffing' I believe you tend to use as well." "I never bluff Kaiba. Ask my brothers that. They know me well enough. Hell, they're the ones who raised me to be like this. Buisness-like, creative, intelligent, poise, I daresay they even taught me to be a hellfire demon."
"They also gave you a cocky attitude." He simply smirked. "No, I happen to come by that naturally due to that fact that's why they taught me to be a hellfire demon." She looked up back into his eyes again, her eyes blazing with fire in them showing him that she was in fact, a demon. Kaiba stared into her eyes watching the flames in them, she was a demon, but what she didn't know about him was that he could put that fire in her eyes out easily. "You don't scare me Amanda, you just hide behind those walls and use your words to scare people off, but naturally, your personality isn't like that. You cant stand hurting others, you build up a temporary wall then set it back down when you've scared the person away and go on with living your life. As I said you're merely bluffing." Came his cool and cold reply. Amanda's eyes flashed then burned more as she locked her eyes with Kaiba's eyes. "I don't bluff, and I'm not at all who you think I am. True I hate hurting people but I will and can if necessary and I will use any means to reach my goal." Kaiba stared right into her eyes, trying to see past her barrier and break through it to unnerve her but it wasn't happening. "So you will go to the extremes to get what you want correct?" "Yes, unless I think the risk is to much." "HA! Now that's what I call a bluff." "Unlike some people who don't really have other matters and issues to take care of they think it's a bluff. But really more of a threat that's useless but can be used over and over." She replied with a smirk across her face taking small pride at the confused look on Seto Kaiba's face.
"Well, looks like this would be my class." She said smiling turning to enter the class but the door was closed just as she started to open it. She whirled to see Kaiba's face right near her own. "Listen," He growled at her, "I've had enough of your mind games, if you think you're so smart about this then come over to my mansion after school at 6:30 pm sharp." Then he added, "Don't be late." And he pushed off from the wall and walked off to his class, disappearing into the crowd. 'What does he mean 'mind games?' Why does it seem there was more to that then a threat?' She thought to herself as she entered the classroom and smiled as she noticed all her friends in the class and she quickly walked over and sat at their table and nodded at the group.
