It was really small. The size of the smallest particle in the universe,probably not even visible to the naked eye if the brown haired man had not put on the specific glasses over his blue eyes to look at his creation. No improvement he noted. Still as small as it was on the day he created it,which was like six years ago. Groaning deeply he turned towards the large computer screen on the wall and let his eyes roam over the many numbers in motion on the screen. The numbers disappeared into the shadows of the wall as new numbers flashed itself on the screen. His eyes were cold,calculating trying to detect a tiny bit of flaw in the programme he created himself.
It was a cruel joke which he very much didn't appreciate. Then again there was no one he could blame over his misfortune. He sighed and looked at the large test tube which held the small spark of power. He created it. So he could really give it his real form. The one he dreamed for over six years. He was going to succeed. no matter what,because Seto Kaiba just doesn't give up. Even if it takes him another six years he was not going to give up. Switching off the lights in the laboratory but leaving the power supplied to the test tube and the main computer on he left the cold room in some really long,strong strides that ate up the ground. Punching some keys on the keypad present beside the tall metal door he waited for it to open. It opened with a piercing shriek and he exited the room his majestic shoulders drawn back proudly. Behind him the door closed with a loud swish of the air sealing the life present inside the room.
Inside the room the numbers still disappeared into the walls and converted into energy were fed to the tiny power pulsating in the tube. It shook with the new energy. The room was flooded in blue It disappeared as soon as it appeared and it died down to the size of a particle,but enough to suggest survival. Gloating it's survival in the cold room. But this was not seen by the 24 year old CEO of the Kaiba Corporation.
T minus infinity and counting.
Tsubaki Yoshida was a burly man, really,very burly. He crouched down in his seat and looked at his office computer. It stared right back into his tired roguishly handsome face. He tiredly rubbed the fatigue from his eyes. He looked over to his lover's photo sitting beside the computer. Yoshida always had a thing for brown eyes and beautiful pouts. It was what his lover was. It was already six months. His lover left him. But his beautiful face still haunted him at nights. Yes, he. His lover was male. He was very happy when he met him and things progressed. having the consent for his relationship with his lover from his parents was enough for him. But he had to leave him and go. How did he have the heart to do it.
"Yoshida!",someone yelled.
He looked up to see the secretary of his boss standing in front of his desk.
"Yes?",he questioned wondering what she wanted.
"Sir wants to meet you in his office with the assignment he gave you last week",she replied curtly and walked away on her killer heels. it amazed Yoshida to no end,how did the women really manage walking on towers. Picking up the finished project from his locker, he straightened his tie and walked towards the lift.
Stepping into the lift he pressed the 13th floor and waited.
"What's wrong Tsubaki?",someone whispered in his ear and he felt soft hands around his thick neck.
He groaned. This was what happened very day since his lover decided to leave him.
He tried touching the hands around his waist. They disappeared with a soft laugh ringing in his ears. He felt breathless. It pained. It was killing him. The lift opened with a soft ding indicating the 13th floor. Squaring his shoulders he walked towards his boss's office and knocked and waited.
Kaiba Seto was not in a good mood. The super embryo he was making did not show a tiny bit of improvement. It riled him up till no end. Then his dim-witted,cow eyed secretary decided to delete all of his files from his system for reasons only god the almighty knows. He spent his entire morning trying to retrieve his lost data and the assignment of DX which he assigned to one of his most eligible workers was not his desk yet. He was on the brink of losing sanity when someone knocked on his door.
"Come on in".
The door opened to reveal Tsubaki Yoshida. He watched the man with hawk like eyes as he walked over and placed a file over a pile of papers. The letters DX looked back at him. He glanced at it before turning his gaze back to his employee.
"You are late",he replied and smirked slightly when he saw a crack on the mask of his employee's face.
"S-sir",Yoshida stuttered.
To this Kaiba just raised an eyebrow,his cold blue eyes now becoming piercingly icy from the stuttering his employee allowed in front of him.
"Sir,the project is due today and here it is. Completed and verified",Yoshida replied gesturing vaguely to the file on the pile of papers.
"If any project was due today then you should have had some brains to turn this thing in the morning".
"Sir. I- I.",
An eyebrow rose into brown hair.
"Tell me one good reason why i shouldn't fire you?". The question floated in the air filled with tense silence.
"Maybe because I was the employee of the month enough times for you to overlook my mistake this fine day",replied Yoshisda.
"Really now", Kaiba drawled. "We all know that for the past six months you were not the 'best' Yoshida".
"Sir, I know that but i can explain-"
"If this is because of your break up with your lover,then you can save it".
"But sir I really couldn't concentrate-"
"Did you stop eating?",came the cold question.
"Sir?"
"I asked, did you stop eating because of your break up",Kaiba glared.
"No".
"Then get out of my office and make your self useful or otherwise you can get fired".
"I'm sorry,Sir". The word sir was almost spat out.
Tsubaki Yoshida wore a haunted expression as he sat in his chair at his desk. Damn his boss to make him feel so low. He was hurting. Couldn't he see it. Couldn't the world see it. Maybe the world was really blind. Azuma,his lover always mentioned it. His eyes wandered over to the photo of his lover. He was staring back at him soft brown eyes and his lower lip was stuck out in a pout. He picked it up and hurled the frame at the opposite wall. It broke with a loud crash and needless to say was given curious looks by his co-workers.
His lover was going to pay.
His boss was going to pay.
Hell, Kaiba Seto was going to pay. He would make sure.
