Chapter 2.

Mokuba had Ms. Ditz led to his brother's office, as Mokuba went out to 'have fun'. The woman quickly made herself at home as she carelessly tossed her sweater on one of the chairs, then sat down on his desk, on his important papers he was trying to file, as she spat out, "Wow, every one of your rooms is like...so big!! It's just amazing! (giggle!) And that little worker kid is so cute. Is he related to your help?"

Kaiba glanced over at her, trying to figure out what she meant. Finally catching her meaning, his features quickly hardened as he snapped, "That happens to be my brother. Do you have a problem with him?" He was close to showing her the door just then for her comment, if she didn't fix it quick.

Fortunately she did, saying, "Oh, that was your brother? I'm sorry! You know, I should have seen the resemblance. You two look so close alike! (tee-hee!)"

'I hate suck-ups.' He thought. "Why don't we get to the point of the matter?" He then asked.

"You mean, why you asked me here? So....are we gonna like, you know.…go out together? I mean, not like your 'normal' go-out, but you know what I mean." She said.

"Uh....no, not exactly." He said, trying not to sound bored, but failing.

"Well, it makes sense that you would want to go out with me, anyway. I mean after all, I 'am' the most popular girl in the school, and the best #1 cheerleader, and my daddy also runs an important company, plus I have one of the highest scores in class and all the other guys want me..." She began to ramble about herself.

Kaiba looked at his sheet again, to remember her name, and said, "Veronica...I didn't ask you here to talk about yourself."

"Oh, of course not!" She said. "After all, why talk about me, when we can talk about how awesome you are! After all, you 'are' the number one in the school when it comes to grades, the most sexiest of all the guys in Domino High, own one of the richest companies in the country, and...."

"Infact, I didn't ask you over here to talk at all." Kaiba added, getting more annoyed and wondering why he really 'did' call her here, in the first place.

Veronica's voice suddenly changed, as did her attitude, as she said seductively, "Oh, of course....what was I thinking? I know what you want...." She moved over and quickly moved her arms around him, saying, "I see you have a nice couch here in your office....or maybe you'd like to invite me to your bedroom."

'Well, that was easy.' He thought. He didn't even have to ask her....there was absolutely no challenge at all in this, sadly enough. Then again, with a woman like that, he really didn't want to fight or beg for it. But it did make him begin to worry about how easy she was being. "Veronica....exactly how much 'experience' do you have in this?"

She laughed at the question, saying, "You make it sound like a business thing! Don't worry, I have plenty of experience in this....I know exactly what I'm doing." That's what he was worried about. Even more scary, she now began to count on her fingers, saying, "Now there's Steve that I see on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday....Paul on Monday and Wednesday. Then of course Jim, Marty, and Jack I see just about every day. Oh yeah, and William is my drinking partner every Friday and Saturday night. And Brian hangs out on the weekends...."

Kaiba blinked, listening to her. She suddenly realized this may not be a good thing for her new date to know, and looked sheepishly at him, saying, "Oh, I didn't mean 'now'! That was like....a month ago, you know? I'm totally free, now!"

"Uh....maybe this wasn't such a good idea." Kaiba said, beginning to shy away from his original plan. After all, if she was so loose with all these people, then who knows what she might have picked up from it.

But before he could push her away, she quickly said, "Uh-uh....you don't want to do that. You know you brought me here for a reason. And besides....I can offer you this." Immediately, the slutty woman ripped her shirt open, bra and all, showing her naked chest to Kaiba. He just sat there shocked that anyone would do something like that. Plus, it wasn't a bad scene. After all, it wasn't everyday a woman flashed her bare breasts in his face.

She then pressed her naked self against his chest, whispering, "I can make you feel real good. Come on, let's have some fun...."

"The bedroom." He finally muttered, and led her there.

Though he still couldn't bring himself to actually have sex with the woman, she still managed to show him all the interesting things her mouth could do with other parts of his body. It gave Kaiba some very new and exciting experiences he never had before, until that night.

Unfortunately, despite that night with Veronica, it didn't exactly cure the problem as he originally thought it would. But atleast on the bright side, he found he did have some physical attraction to women, after all. Yet, after his time with her, he also had a feeling he was now going to be even less interested in looking towards other women than ever.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The next day at school only seemed to go-down hill with his supposed 'new date', as well. Veronica seemed very interested in gossiping her time with Kaiba to everyone at school. She also lied, claiming that they did sleep together, and was even so tacky to talk about Kaiba's length to the other girls, which seemed to become more and more exaggerated as school went on. By the time the middle of school had hit, Kaiba was now being described as a walking tripod with a third leg. And even though it might have been rather amusing and even kind of flattering that the entire school thought he was walking around with a garden hose in his pants, having all the women in school gawk at him even more than before was still annoying at best. Didn't he point out to her that he liked his life private??

At lunch, she insisted on trying to cling and talk to him like they were an official couple, when he already told her he didn't date. But he tried to ignore it for now, since he began to think that maybe all girls naturally acted this stupid.

Finally, heading towards Calculus in-between classes, Kaiba found a moment to relax. His favorite pup was at his locker digging for his books. As Kaiba walked by, he 'accidentally' bumped into him, causing Joey to almost fly inside the locker. "You should watch where you're standing, Mutt. People need to walk here." Kaiba commented, taunting him.

Joey turned and practically snarled at him, "What do you want, KAIBA!!" To Kaiba, it literally felt like Joey was trying to snap at him, as if someone had let him off his leash. Strange....Joey certainly appeared to be angrier towards Kaiba more then usual, and wondered what could have caused him to be so upset today.

"A dog should know better then to snap at his master." Kaiba mused, refusing to show any sign of concern that he had thought of, for that moment. Infact, he outright refused to acknowledge to himself that that had even entered his mind.

"I aint your master!" Joey said, whirling back to face his locker. Kaiba couldn't help but smile at that. After all, Joey was so hell-bent against the master thing, that he missed the other comment.

But as Joey turned back to his locker, his brain slowly clicked on it, and finally realized his error. Before Kaiba could come out and throw it in his face, he spun back towards Kaiba, adding, "And I aint no dog, either!!"

"Maybe if you atleast learned to speak properly, I wouldn't have to compare you with a animal." Kaiba sneered.

Joey was about to go ballistic on him....he could tell. But once again Kaiba was rudely interrupted from that girl. "Seto!!" She cried out from nowhere, and threw her arms around him.

Kaiba was quite annoyed by her for, one: daring to touch him in public without his permission, two: for daring to call him Seto - also without his permission, and three: for talking to him again when he had already told her that he didn't like to hear her voice at all. Kaiba also noticed that Joey became strangely down-cast and turned away after her approach towards him. It confused him why Joey behaved that way, and made him feel strange....almost like he had done something wrong, which definitely made no sense at all.

She then looked Joey's way, saying, "Oh, it's 'you'. You're right, Seto....he really is such a nothing. Why don't you go crawl into a hole or something, you loser!" She said, putting Joey down, then giving off this terrible shrilling laugh. Joey looked even more miserable now.

Tristan was also in the distance, and was about to approach and say something, but at the time he was too afraid to. After all, he always thought she was hot....atleast on the outside.

But her comment was the final straw for Kaiba. First of all, she made it sound as if they had some kind of conversation on bashing Wheeler, which never happened. And it was one thing for Kaiba to say things to Joey, but only 'he' made fun of the Mutt, and certainly not 'her'.

To Joey's surprise, Kaiba didn't laugh along with her. If anything, he showed outward anger towards her. With controlled hostility, he said to Joey in strangely polite, very business-like tone, "If you'll excuse us...."

Kaiba then grabbed Veronica, pulling her by the arm so she was pealed off of him, and moved her and himself some-what down the hall.

Tristan now approached, seeing the Kaiba and his girlfriend arguing in the distance. He smiled, saying to Joey, "I think someone's in trouble...."

"Ya think so?" Joey said. No longer feeling as bad, as he and Tristan watched the two in the distance.

"What's wrong, Seto-honey?" Veronica asked.

"Number one, I did not give you permission to call me by my first name. Very few are given that privilege, and you're not one of them." He said, with ice in his tone.

"I'm sorry hon', I just..." She began to spit out.

"Number two, I don't like nicknames. The name is Kaiba, you will only call me that." Kaiba ordered her.

"Oh, well....I...." She continued to try and interrupt.

But Kaiba would not hear of it, as he continued, "Number three....when I am talking to someone, I do not like being interrupted for any reason."

"But, he is such a jerk! I was just...."

"And lastly, this is not working. Don't see me again. Whatever you thought this supposed 'relationship' of yours was, it's now through. And don't gossip about me again. I don't like that either." Kaiba snapped.

"Uh...but....you can't be serious!" She said.

Kaiba then let her go, and without another word, he walked away.

"Wait a minute, you can't just....you can't break up with me!! No one breaks up with me! I'm the most popular girl in school!!" She spat out. As he ignored her, she continued to wail at the top of her lungs, "Fine, who needs you anyway, you big jerk! You had a small dick, anyway....what do you think of that!!"

"Hey Joey, I think the most popular girl in school just got dumped!" Tristan loudly announced, to make sure Veronica heard, as she whirled around to face whoever dared talk about her.

Joey laughed, "Can you say....LOSER!!"

Everyone around them laughed, and she looked totally humiliated. "Shut up! You have no idea who you're talking to! My Daddy will crush you all!" Finally she turned and ran down the hall, bawling, "Daddyyyy!!"

Joey felt ten times better, after that. The girl that was picking on him just got burned, and Kaiba was no longer dating her. Yet, at the same time he was still confused why that bothered him so much. Since yesterday, when he heard Kaiba seeming to accept her date, he was so angry with him, as if he had broken some unspoken rule. And after the gossip, when he heard that Kaiba supposedly slept with her...he was steamed hearing it. Infact, after Kaiba dared to talk to him, Joey felt like decking him right then and there. Yet, there was still no explanation he could find for the irrational feeling of....what? Jealousy? And was that for her, or for him? Joey decided maybe he liked the girl, and was jealous that Kaiba was popular enough to get her. Yep....that had to be it, no other explanation about it.

As for Kaiba, after the whole incident he was starting to feel almost....depressed. It wasn't the girl, it was the feeling that he had for once achieved some kind of normalcy in his life, plus proving to himself that he 'did' like girls. Yet, now he was left with no one again, and even less interest to try and be with a girl after that…just like he thought might happen.
