Jewels: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh
Seto: But I do.
Jewels: You do not! You may have enough money to but you don't!
Seto: I do and just leave it at that.
Jewels: You do not! Now on with the story before he says anything else!
A few weeks went by and Seto and I went on with our lives, most of the time barely acknowledging that one another existed, until Seto called me in the middle of a photo shoot.
"You can't just go in there," his secretary said.
"Oh really?" I asked stopping and looking at her, "Watch me." I opened the doors and closed them behind me. "You better have a damn good reason for interrupting my photo shoot," I said.
"I will be announcing the start of The Battle City Tournament in a couple of days," he said not looking up from his computer.
I stared at him blankly. "So!" I said.
"So…as my fiancé you should be there, am I wrong?" he asked.
I thought for a moment. "People will start talking if they see us together," I replied.
"People will start talking anyway when an engagement announcement hits the newspapers," he retorted.
"Fine, I'll go," I said, "By the way, I had my personal tailors make you a new coat because you seriously need a splash of color in your wardrobe."
"Whatever," he said.
"Yeah, thanks Jewels I was hoping I could get some help with that," I said saying what I thought should have been said before I left Kaiba Corp. and headed home. I looked at the purple trench coat that was on the couch and sighed. 'Purple?' I thought to myself, 'Why did I choose purple?' I flopped in one of the chairs and turned on the TV and Hakoda came and jumped on my lap. A few hours later, Seto walked in the house.
"Where's Mokuba," he asked.
"Room," I said pointing towards the stairs before getting up, grabbing the garment bag, and walking over to him, "Here…Uh…Happy Thursday."
He took the bag and went upstairs. A few minutes later he came back down.
'Whoa,' I thought.
"I didn't think that I would like this," he said before picking up his briefcase, "Now I'll be back in a bit, I need to meet someone at the museum."
"Be kind, rewind," I said grabbing his arm, "You mean the Domino City museum…as in the museum where they are having the Egyptian exhibit this week?"
"Yes," he replied.
"Can I come?" I asked.
"No," he replied flatly.
"?" I asked again, "I'll stay out of your way; I just want to look around."
He sighed. "Fine," he said.
"Yes!" I said grabbing my jacket.
-Domino City Museum-
"This is so cool," I said looking at a stone that was covered in hieroglyphs.
"Ah, Seto Kaiba," a woman said.
I stood up straight and turned and saw a woman with black hair, tan skin, and dress in Egyptian garb. She looked at me for a moment and then back at Seto.
"You brought your fiancé?" she asked, "I wasn't expecting that. She might as well come with."
"How did she…" I started.
"I don't know, just walk," Seto replied.
We headed down a hall into another room with Egyptian artifacts. While Seto talked to the woman I looked around the room.
THUMP
I spun around and saw Seto in the ground and before my brain could really realize what the rest of my body was doing I was next to Seto.
"What did you do?" I asked looking at the woman. 'What the hell am I doing? Why in the world do I care?' I thought after I said that.
"He saw his ancient past," she said as I helped Seto to his feet.
Seto cleared his throat. "This is just more of that hocus pocus stuff," he said.
The woman held out a card towards Seto and he took it. "This is something that will help you defeat my brother," she said, "It's an Egyptian God Card, you may borrow it, but I will need it back after the tournament."
I rolled my eyes. 'Not the stupid card game again,' I thought.
Seto smirked as he put the card in his inside coat pocket. "Sure, whatever you say," he said turning around and walking away with me at his heels.
'She will never see that card again,' I thought.
-The Next Day-
"You did what?" I asked Cho.
"I…I uh…cleared your schedule for three weeks," she replied hiding behind her day planner.
"Why?" I asked, "I had an interview in a few days."
"Th…that I did keep in your schedule," she said, "As for the reason I cleared the rest of your schedule, I was thinking this tournament will be a good chance for you to spend some time with Mr. Kaiba."
"And what would make you think that?" I asked.
"W…Well from what I understand from my sources, he will be competing in the tournament as well, so he'll be out of his office," she replied, "So you can walk around with him and watch him compete and cheer him on."
I sighed. "Walking is good exercise," I said.
Cho smiled.
"Wipe that smile off your face," I said.
She immediately stopped smiling. "I'll uh…just show myself out," she said leaving my office.
-That Night-
I was sitting in the helicopter with Seto as he made his speech about the rules of The Battle City, yadda yadda yadda. After a few minutes the chopper stared to hover over the Domino City Center Square and Seto opened the door and step out onto landing skids. Me on the other hand I stood and leaned against the doorway. I could just imagine what people though seeing me there with Seto Kaiba of all people. It just doesn't seem right.
-KAIBA CORP.-
I flopped down on one of the green couches in Seto's office and yawned…not because I was tired…but because I was bored. I saw Seto sit at his desk and turn on his computer and an idea popped into my head.
"You know Seto," I said turning onto my stomach and putting my hands under my chin, "I know why you really wanted me out there with you tonight."
He looked at me out of the corner of his eyes and then back at his computer.
I got up and went and sat on the edge of his desk. "I'm beautiful…I know that…and so does the world," I said crossing my legs and putting my elbow on my knee so I could rest my chin on my hand, "And you're a successful and very powerful business man."
"I really hope there's a point to this," he said not looking away from his computer screen.
I put my hand on the other side of his face and turned his head so he was looking at me. "Every good business man…needs a good woman behind him," I said moving my hand down his cheek until just my index finger was under his chin, "You have a trophy…and you couldn't wait to show me off and show not only do you have power…but you have a beautiful woman."
He pushed my hand away. "That's the last thing I want," he said, "We might as well just get the media stirring now rather than later."
I leaned back putting my hand on the desk for support. "Whatever you say," I said looking out the window.
SETO'S POV
I looked Jewels up and down before turning to my computer once again. In a sense she was right; she was beautiful. She knew that…the rest of the world knew that…and I of course knew that. I saw it every day when she left the mansion in those designer clothes of hers…but the one this I did not need is a trophy by my side.
"So apparently I get to spend time with you during The Battle City Tournament," she said breaking the silence.
"Wh…what?" I asked.
"Yup…my agent thought it would be a good idea to clear my schedule for the next three weeks," she said, "Except of course the interview I have in a few days…she thought it would be a good idea so I could spend some time with you or cheer you on or however the hell she put it."
"That's…wonderful," I said as my eye started to twitch.
"Yeeeeeah," she said before looking at her watch, "Well I have to go, it's getting late and I need my beauty sleep."
I watched as she left and then dropped my head down onto the desk. "Daaaaaaaaamn iiiiiiiiiiiit," I said.
Jewels: Well…I hope you enjoyed the chapter ^_^
