Kisara's POV
I was done trying to reason with Adena, I was going to fill out my application to work for Kaiba Corp. and there was nothing she could do to stop me. I was a front of the big building with the words KC on them, and I felt intimidated. I took a big breath and I opened the door, or maybe a portal. Everyone inside seem busy people were going up the elevator or waiting impatiently in some chairs. There was desk in the middle of big room. I walked towards the desk still feeling like I didn't belong here. " Um Excuse miss but do you know where I..." I started to say to the woman with some headphones set. She peered through her glasses below me and my school backpack.
"Good are you here for the open job interviews for the floor duelists for the duel disk project?" She was typing something on her computer. I was dumbfounded, I only came here for a simple application not for a real interview yet. "Well are you or not?" The woman asked irritated , she was still typing on her computer, " If you're not, there are plenty more people that.."
"Nope, I did came here for that job interview," I gave my biggest reassured smile. She looked at me and sneered. She gave me some sort of contract and made a gesture to sign it. When I finished signing the piece of paper, she reached for a folder on her desk, and stamped the cover of the folder.
"If you think you're ready; fine with me," She swiftly gave me the vanilla folder and pointed to the middle hallway, "The job interviews are that way down hall , then you'll see an elevator, take the elevator to the bottom floor. You'll arrive to the dueling floor, then you'll see a wide door across the hall, open the door and that's where job interview will be to be really specific. Anymore questions?"
I was already confused but forced myself to nod cooly. I took the folder and went down the hall. I saw a person pushing a mail cart out of an elevator. I rushed for the closing elevator and got in. I pushed down the bottom floor button and started to hum. I never really did liked elevators. The elevator stopped and the door opened. I walked out and quickly saw the door the secretary mentioned. This doors was not hard to miss, it looked like a laboratory door. I took a quick glance through the small circular window and saw people, mostly guys with their duel disks out. I walked in and I got a bunch of glances, it was like school all over again. I approached a balding man in a tuxedo and guessed he was the one giving their interview.
"I came here for the job interview.." I started to say. He took my vanilla folder and nodded. His assistant gave me a duel disk.
"Well, do you have a duel deck?" He asked me seriously. I unzipped my school bag and took out my duel deck and showed it to him. He took it and quickly scanned my deck and nodded. He pointed to go in the line.
"You just made it, we were about to start without you,"Someone whispered. I saw it was a little boy with jet black hair. I also saw his violet eyes. That was when I knew I was talking to Mokuba Kaiba. He gave me a small friendly smile. The balding man was getting ready speak.
"You all came here for this specific job, a job to work for Kaiba Corp.. But this not just any job this job is for the biggest gaming technology company in the world. If you get this much honored job in the dueling floor for the Duel Disk Project, You will not only make Kaiba Corp. a better company, but you will be confident that you can do any other job." I felt like he was doing a prep speech before we were going to war. I could see everyone was either wishing they didn't came or that he would stop talking.
It turned out that our so called "Job Interview" was actually dueling for the job! I was so annoyed. Especially after my tenth win. My Fairy deck could beat anyone, even Adena's Red Eyes Black Dragon deck. In the end me and six other people ; all guys got the dueling job. We were each given a dueling floor I.D. I looked awesome in my picture. If only I could get my hands on a Blue-eyes white dragon, that would complete my deck.
Nikkia's POV
I was worried because both Adena nor Kisara were back from their job hunts. I seriously wish they weren't doing bad things again. You seriously can't expect what you get when you combine a Techie and an Assassin together in a "job hunt". I was boiling some rice that was in the pantry Ms. Viera left us. She was a nice lady, even if she was a little crazy. I was scared it was almost ten o'clock , and they weren't here yet. I turned off the stove. I took out a photograph from my tattered bag , I traveled with on the airplane. The photograph was of all three of us in the orphanage. Nikkia was wearing her Assassin uniform and Kisara was wearing her Techie uniform. Funny how the orphanage wanted us to know so much when we were only eight. I always knew they were testing us , since I was alive.
I noticed how they will ask us questions, then would wait for our reply and write it out down on the clipboard. I guess I was never athletic enough to be placed in the Assassin uniform or smart enough to be placed in the Techie uniform, or beautiful enough to be placed in the Merchandise section. I always belonged in the Undeclared section, unknown to any talents. I was glad we decided to run away from Dragon Corporation, the publicly known Orphanage. They couldn't force me to gain control of Dragon Corporation, I wouldn't be nearly strong enough to run it. I was too scared to tell Adena and Kisara that the real reason why we left Dragon Corporation was because I didn't wanted to run the company. I lied and told them that they were going to "recycle" me. That's what they do with all the Undeclared section, recycle them, and hope their offsprings will be smarter or more beautiful than their mother.
Adena's POV
I was pissed off at Kisara, that ungrateful ...ugh I still can't cuss her out. I punched the street wall. Nikkia will kill me; it was almost ten, and I still didn't had a job. I looked at a store window and saw my reflection. I looked like a harmless hobo at first glance, but if you would stare into my eyes you could see I could twist your neck off. I was almost a full fledged assassin when we ran away. I saw a group of kids arguing on the street corner. I walked silently to the crowd. I saw by their uniforms that they were from my school. Two of guys were the guys I was sitting next to in my motors class.
"Look here Wheeler, I beat you fair and square, so turn around and keep whining to your pathetic house," sneered the Asshole.
"Oh yah! Rich boy, I still think you cheated !"Joey replied angrily. Kaiba just sneered, that made Joey even more mad, " I'll beat you tomorrow at our official duel you hear? and next time I won't let you cheat!"
"I don't need to cheat to beat a mutt like you," Kaiba said huskily. I was just standing there and nobody in the group even felt I was there.
"Come on Joey save your breath, you have tomorrow," Tristan offered nicely and gave Kaiba a quick cold stare. He turned Joey around, and Joey faced me. He looked surprised , then the whole group stared at me questionably.
"I guess Russians like to eavesdrop a lot,"Tea humored, but I took quick offense.
"What is that suppose to mean?" I said hauntingly.
"Nothing, it was just a joke, because Nikkia sat on our table and listened to our whole conversation today at lunch," Tea was quick to respond. I shook my head disapprovingly. Kaiba's limo was here and he drifted a rich jerk."What a jerk huh?" Tea read my mind. I tried not look surprised and just shrugged my shoulders and started to walk away. Joey got my arm.
"Where are you going? The fellas and me are getting some pizza right now wanna come?"Joey asked nicely and flashed a smile. Just then two guys came running to us and snatched Tea's bag. The two guys started to laugh and celebrate too fast. They didn't even knew who hit them, pun unintended. They got up slowly and looked at Joey. The gang started to laugh at the fact that a girl knocked them down to the ground.
"You think it's funny blonde?" Joey looked scared of these two buff guys with black clothes.
"I'm not , and by the way it was me who knocked you two down to the concrete floor," I looked at them teasingly. They looked at each other and started to laugh. I got them by the necks , slammed their heads together, and knocked them out. Seriously\ some guys still can't believe that girls can't beat them down. Well I showed them all right. I looked at the gang , and I saw fear in their eyes.
"What a night ,I need to go home and rest," I yawned fakely, I gave Tea's bag back. I turned around and started to briskly walk away. I could feel the gang's confused and bewildered faces behind my head. I was a freak, Joey will never like the real me, never.
Kisara's POV
Aww.. man! Nikkia is going to kill me! I was late from my job interview. I was a front of the door not knowing how to tell her that I got a job in Kaiba Corp. I was scared that she would get as mad as Adena, but I finally got the guts to open the door. I saw Nikkia was busy in the kitchen chopping some carrots. I saw that she was scared. She looked at me and her was glad I was home.
"You don't happen to know where Adena is do you?" She asked, I could swear she looked so old in that moment. I shook my head and Nikkia's face fell to weariness.
"Okay, then I guess we'll have to eat dinner without her," She started to place dishes on the small round table. I fell on the hard small wooden chair. She sat down and I tried to restrain my surprise when i saw my dish only contained boiled rice and some carrots.
"I know, but I promise we'll get more food tomorrow. I found a job as a seamstress in some store down the street. It's not far from here,"Nikkia explained spooning her rice around the dish. She delicately put her spoon of rice in her mouth and swallowed. I did not wanted to eat boiled rice, it was reminding me of the orphanage. I heard the door open and saw Adena bustle inside. She went into the bathroom and I heard the door lock .Nikkia got up and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Where have you been?" Nikkia weakly asked. Adena did not answer but just sighed impatiently. Adena opened the door.
"I was around town looking for a job, why?"
"I have been waiting for you since six o'clock, do you know what time it is?"
I quickly glanced at the clock, it was almost midnight.
"I'm so sorry mom, but I'm not eating that shit!" Adena locked herself again. Nikkia sat down on her chair again. I could see tears starting to form in her eyes. I wanted to console her, but Adena was right about the food. She got up and went into the kitchen. I could hear that she was crying. I just wanted the night to be over with.
