A/N: Ok, so I am basing this story on the Simple Plan song that I saw in a music video after hearing it be complimented on the radio. If you have heard this song, then yay for you, you know the mood for this fic. And for you that haven't, please listen to it! It is really really really- well, its a good song. And the music video to it gave me goosebumps. Please R&R!

The rain started to pour down the town, the shadows of the haunting night reverberating its existence throught the nearly empty streets. Yet out of all this, a soft sound of laughter echoed though them, creating a tense feeling to those that walked there. Why was there such happiness? Could it be real?

It was, and they knew that it was destined to end soon. The shadow didn't enjoy such things as laughter at night...

Lyn's laughter subsided slowly, the amount of self control that Seto had tried to keep easily shown on his face. "I am really really sorry about that Kaiba." she grinned, putting a hand to her head to fix her slightly dishevelled auburn hair, the tan highlights illuminated from the lamp post that both were standing under. Her raven hued eyes were fixed on Kaiba's, entranced as she never moved from her spot.

Seto had finally touched his face, which had slowly begun to turn a light shade of red. " You didn't just.." he murmured softly, not finishing his sentences.

She blushed, moving her gaze to the ground. "I am sorry..I thought..."

A hand gently cupped under her chin, lifting her face so that her eyes met his again. "No, it's ok. I was just surprised." he whispered, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile.

She closed her eyes, leaning forward, their faces only inches apart...

"Master Kaiba, we must go now." a deep voice resonating from behind them.

They both seperated, glancing at the limo driver as he stood there, calmly watching them with a blank expression on his face. "You are needed at Kaiba Corp, it's an emergency."

Seto nodded, reluctantly walking away from Lyn after giving her hand a small squeeze. "Winston this better be an emergency; I was-"

"It is a very large emergency Master Kaiba." he replied quietly, opening the door to the limo for him. Kaiba quickly took a seat inside, his famous cold stare seemingly magnified when Winston look at him through the front mirror. "Your company was bought up. Again."

Seto's face turned pale, but he regained his composure as fast as he lost it. "By whom? Pegasus?" he asked bitterly.

"No, by another company. An American one at that." he replied.

"Well, do you know the name of the company?" he asked, his tone of voice darkening.

Silence followed, the question lingering in the air.

"Well?" he repeated, expecting an instant answer. "Winston I asked you a ques-"

"Some company called Tricks and Illusions Industries. They specialize in creating technology. For whom or what, I am not so sure." came the quiet reply. "And that is all I know."

Seto made a small noise similiar to a scoff as he pondered on the name. Tricks and Illusions Industries? What were they, a magic company? (Heh. Pathetic really, a technology company named after something related to magic.) he thought, fiddling with the seatbelt as his mind wandered off. (But if they really are a pathetic company, then how were they able to buy up mine?)

Lyn watched as the limo drove off into the night, sighing sadly as she began her long walk home. "Stupid stupid stupid me." she muttered. "I can't believe that I almost did that! He is...so different from other boys I have met though...a bit rough on the outside, yes. But once you get to know him..."

She wants to go home, but nobody's home. That's where she lies-

"Hello?" she inquired.

"OMG IS THAT YOU LYN!" an incrediously loud voice said through the reciever.

Lyn held her cell phone a foot away from her ear, rubbing it tenderly. She checked to make sure that the volume of her cell phone wasn't loud before answering. "Yes it's me. Now why on Earth were you screaming?"

A nervous giggle could be heard on the other line. "Oh, sorry about that. Didn't think I was so loud..."

"Right." she said, smiling as she shook her head. "Shoja you really need to calm down."

"Fine. Well anyways, I was calling about Kaiba."

Lyn's face turns a deep shade of red as she stammered to answer her friend's question. "W..what about him?"

From the other side of the conversation, Shoja's smile turned into a mischevous grin. "Hm, I wonder why you were gone all this time..."

"Look, just ask what you want to know." Lyn snapped unexpectantly. A moment of silence made her soft side take over. "I am sorry.."

Shoja laughed, trying her hardest to contain herself from bursting out something. "It's ok..I understand how you are about that situation. Well anyways I was just calling about him. Did you know that he is owner of Kaiba Corp.?"

She paused, registering the information and then answering in disbelief. "What?"

"Yeah, its true. And Tricks and Illusens just bought it up!"

The cellphone slipped from out of her hands, falling to the ground with a thud. Somewhere between shock and horror, Lyn finally understood what her friend had just told her.

"Hello? Lyn? What was that?" Shoja's voice echoed, snapping her out of her daze as she picked up the phone once again. "I dropped it...sorry. And if I am understanding this correctly, Tricks and Illusens now owns Kaiba Corp?"

"Yup, pretty much." she said obliviously.

(Oh man...why can't this be good?) "Ok, where are you now?" she asked timidly.

"At my house."

"Meet me at my house. I need to talk to you more in depth about this, ok?"

"Sure. See ya then." Shoja said as she hung up. Wow her friend was acting uptight all of a sudden. "Hm, and she is never really that way. Not unless it's in a meeting with her executive officers...oh well. Might as well get ready to meet her."

Lyn mentally smacked herself on the head. She was owner of Kaiba Corp now! "This wasn't supposed to happen, I didn't know that this was going to happen. I am so stupid!" She let outa frustrated sigh, wondering how she would have to deal with this. "The reason I came here was because of my parents. Maybe if I hadn't said that I would help be a representative of our company I would be thinking about this.."

She rubbed her forehead, thoughts and suggestions running through her mind. One disturbing thought made her think. What he found out that she was the one that now bought his company? "Wow today isn't a good day." she sighed, heading her way through the dark dreary streets to a hopefully warm and content home...

A.N: Ok, so that wasn't as close to the Simple Plan song as I would have liked it to be, but it will get there, just be paitient. R&R To let me know if this story should continue on!
