Chapter 4

"Oh, hey Kaiba! I didn't expect to see you so soon..." Kira smiled weakly up at Kaiba while in a pair of pajamas. She stood in the doorway of her condo and Kaiba's entry. Kaiba entered her apartment and immediatly wrinkled his nose.

"This is worse than a pig's stye." Kaiba dodged a piece of the ceiling that so conviently decided to try and fall on his head. Kira closed the door with an embarassed blush.

"It's not my fault. Your company issued me this condo." Kira sat on her green tattered coach.

"I told my old secretary to take care of that." Kaiba said bluntly. Kira scowled.

"Obviously she didn't like me taking her job away. Who knows, it could be your whole staff instead." Kira mumbled.

"Get dressed." Kaiba demanded. Kira snapped back into reality and looked throughly confused.

"What? But, why?" Kira's silver eyes were swirling with the confusion she felt. Kaiba smirked and crossed his arms.

"To get that gift. Did you not look at the time?" Kaiba watched as Kira made a startled jump to her feet.

"Oh, crap! It's noon already! I just woke up!" She ran out the room and into another with a slam of the door. Kaiba stepped outside and waited beside his car. Ten minutes passed before she burst out the door and towards him.

"I'm sorry! I think I broke my alarm clock when it went off." Kira bowed apoligeticly. Kaiba scoffed and entered his car. He left the door open for her on the other side.

"Get in." Kaiba commanded. Kira hurried to the other side and entered. He started the car with a turn of the key and drove out onto the street towards their destination.

"Where are we going?" Kira watched as they passed small stores and malls. Kaiba didn't even look at her.

"A store." He said bluntly. Kira sighed and watched the stores go by in a depressed manner. Kaiba stole a glance and scowled.

"Any ideas on a gift?" Kaiba asked while not turning his full attention on her. Kira jumped at the sound of his voice and gave a strained smile.

"Uh, a whip?" Kira said meekly. Kaiba gave a sidewards glance at her.

"And where did you get that idea? Your own personal stash?"

"From there." She pointed out the window to all the little shops labled 'XXX', 'Come Laude', and other names of that manner. Kaiba drove through downtown without another word and emerged into a street running alongside the ocean.

"How'd you know your way through downtown? It's supposed to be hard to navigate through there." Kira asked without looking at him. Kaiba grunted.

"I go through there all the time to get where I'm going faster." Kaiba said matter of factly like everyone knew that. Kira glanced at him with a heavy heart. Maybe the newspapers where right in the first place. The rest of the ride was silent. A pier was in view miles away with theme parks and a mass of people gathering in that one small place with shops.

"We're going there?" Kira's eyes were wide in excitement.

"Yes, now stop staring at me." Kaiba glared at her as she shyly looked away. They pulled up into a free parking space and got out of the car. Kira immediately ran out onto the beach and twirled in circles laughing before falling back to look up into the sky.

"Oh, my Ra! This is so cool!" Kira laughed as she got on her knees to play with a crab that tried to snap at her in vain. Her hair was being blown by the wind making her look picture perfect. Kaiba stared at her as she smiled, laughing like a small girl. Kira sighed and frowned, ruining that picture of perfection.

"Who's the present for?"

"What?" Kaiba snapped out of his thoughts and angrily processed what she said before replying. "It's a birthday party for one of my business aquantance. It's a relative of the owner." Kaiba scowled. Just when does he stare at anyone like that? Kira got up and dusted off the sand.

"A birthday? Who's hosting?" Kira looked back up at Kaiba. Kaiba glared back at her.

"Mind your own business. This is a job so lets get it done." He said harshly. Kira gulped and smiled nervously.

"What do you know about the birthday girl?" Kira asked, trying to change the subject somewhat. Kaiba frowned in dismay.

"I don't know anything of that retched girl." Kaiba spat out as if it was poison. Kira looked thoughtful and her eyes focused on nothing.

"Get her a doll." She smiled, mostly to herself. She would have wanted one even if she was too old for them now. Kaiba scoffed.

"What does a grown woman want with a doll?" He watched her scowl in annoyance.

"Sometimes a woman needs to be reminded of her childhood." She ran off towards one of the stores. Kaiba growled and followed reluctantly.


"How's this?" Kira handed Kaiba a book. His eyebrow lifted up in question.

"Samurai Love? What is this? A woman's fantasy?" Kaiba said dryly. Kira laughed.

"No, I don't think so. I thought you would need it." She giggled. Kaiba growled and put the book away. They had spent two hours in this store and she was already driving him nuts.

"Pick something out already and make it snappy!" Kaiba lashed out. Kira faked a salute and stopped in her tracks to stare at something. She slowly approached it and picked up the doll in awe. It was beautiful. The porcelian doll had black hair and sad eyes matched with an outfit made in Europe. She shoved the doll in Kaiba's face.

"How about this?" Kira asked, quickly drawing Kaiba's attention to the doll that was so rudely shoved in his face. Kaiba took the doll from her hands and inspected it.

"What's this?"

"It's a doll. I know dolls are supposed to be happy and all the same but this is different. It's sad and caught in a world she don't belong in. Do you like?" Her eyes. She was gazing off again like there was a happier place, or was she reminiscing? Kaiba nodded in approval.

"Good enough. Anything else?"

"What?" Kira came back to reality with a frown. Kaiba smirked more out of amusement than in a mocking manner.

"Anything. Else. You. Would. Like." He said slowly and clearly as if to a child. Kira threw the doll up making Kaiba catch it.

"No, not at all. A ride home would be lovely though." Kira said sarcasticly. Kaiba clutched the doll tightly and smirked, fixing his eyes on her with a glare.

"Don't push your luck. I can make you walk." He left to pay and disapeared out of the store. Kira looked back to grab the matching male doll and paid for it before leaving as well. She ran to catch up to him in the car and hopped in.

"What's that?" Kaiba started the car and eyed the new doll. It was a male and was looking out at everyone with a blank stare that wasn't a glare but couldn't be considered sad or happy. Kira put it in the bag with the female one.

"It's the matching doll. I thought the woman you're buying this for would like the set." Kira said then turned to look back out the window. Kaiba considered this a moment and drove off back into town.
