Okay, this chapter is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY short!! I'm sorry!! Don't hurt me!! *cowers in a corner*

"Em? Emilee, wake up."

I sleepily opened my eyes and saw Yugi leaning over me. "I'm up, I'm up," I muttered, standing up. "I'll be up in a second. Just let me change." As soon as Yugi was out of my sight, I quickly slipped into my uniform, heading upstairs as I ran my fingers through my hair.

"You guys ready?" I asked as I walked into Yugi's room.

"Yeah, let's go," Yugi replied as he and the rest of the guys followed me downstairs and outside.

About 5 minutes away from school, a sleek black limo pulled up beside us. As the window rolled down, a card flew at me. "Mystical Elf," I thought, slipping it into my deck.

"Puppy, come with me," Kaiba said, opening the door.

"Can't," I replied as I continued walking. "I have school."

"Not while you work for me," Kaiba said, pulling me into the limo. "Yugi, you and the mutt may have her back later."

"Kaiba!" Joey exclaimed. "Wait a minute!" But it was too late, the limo sped off toward Kaiba's house.

"Don't worry, Joey," Yugi said as they started walking again. "You'll see her again later. Kaiba can't keep her forever."

"So, what am I gonna have to do?" I asked, leaning back against the seat and propping my legs up next to Kaiba on the seat across from me.

"Feet off the furniture, puppy," Kaiba ordered, pushing my feet off the seat. "That's the first rule. Second, while working for me, you will be staying at my house."

"That wasn't part of the deal," I said, glaring at him.

"But it was in the contract that you signed," Kaiba said. "When Yugi comes to pick you up later today, you can tell him. According to our contract, until you earn your deck back, you belong to me."

The next chapter will be longer, I promise!!!
