She tapped the edge of her shoe against the building while he approached, key in hand. She always made it there before him, which was indeed a task to be accomplished. She smirked at him as he unlocked the door and stepped aside, letting her in first. She flicked on the lights as he logged onto his computer and when everything was set she leaned on the edge of his desk.

"I should just give you keys to this place." He said with a smirk.

"That would be a bad idea. I'd prank the crap out of you." She joked. " Hey, so what exactly do I get out of being friends with the great Seto Kaiba?" She asked, kicking her legs up and sitting on the desk. He merely rose an eyebrow as she turned down to him. "Well, you get the privilege of being friends with me, but you really have nothing to offer. I've got cash, a car, a place to stay and some other friends to hang with. What makes you special?" She held a mischievous smile as she said the words and he almost laughed.

"You need me." He said plainly before turning to his computer.

"... Maybe. So what... I like to hang with my friends. Spend time with them... well... while I'm in the same country."

"That's fine." He typed something then looked back at her. It was nice just being able to talk and relax.

"We also have a habit of kidnapping each other." She didn't wait for him to look up at her confusedly, she knew it would happen, so she continued. "We show up randomly at each other's places and go out without making plans in advanced. But how the hell am I supposed to do that with you? You're either teaching, working or guarded constantly."

"It's true, I cant be bothered or 'stolen' while I'm teaching, but at Kaiba Tech, I kind of run the place. My schedule is mine. You just cant take me during meetings. And my home is not half as bad as work."

"Good. I'll surprise you later." She hopped down from his desk and made her way to her seat.

"Doubt it." They locked glares for a moment and the challenge was issued.

The next two days rolled by, ending the last week he would be shadowing her and he was almost sad that it was so. Still he knew he would be spending more time with her as a friend and was interested to explore this new side of him. He didn't like being new at things, but with her... she took the edge off.

Finally Saturday, he sat at his desk in his building. This one was smaller than Kaiba corp, but he preferred it. Most tasks were completed by computers he programmed himself, leaving less jobs for less employees. He had been there for a good five hours before he took his lunch break, and once it was done, went straight back to work, or at least tried to. He exited the elevator in time to see Arisa arguing with his personal secretary. He didn't have the patience for her and backed back into the elevator. He would go down a floor and take the back elevator up. He hated doing that to his secretary. The man didn't deserve to put up with Kaiba's personal life like that, but Kaiba sure as hell didn't want to do it.

He'd have to give him a bonus... or a raise... what was he thinking, it was Arisa he was dealing with. The man would get both. Kaiba sighed to himself as he sat at his desk. It was going to be a long day.

Caleeya moved into the main lobby of Kaiba Tech's building. She knew Kaiba would be there. He wasn't the type to take a day off.

"Do you have an appointment to be here?" The man at the greeting desk asked. He seemed disinterested and glanced down at his watch as he spoke. It wasn't like the professional atmosphere she had come to expect from Kaiba.

"No, he just said to drop by any time." The man raised an eyebrow and scanned her over.

"I doubt that. You can go back out front with the other fans and hope he waves when he leaves tonight." And with that, it was like she didn't even exist anymore. He turned away and focused on a book he had behind the desk, looking as though she never existed in the first place. Caleeya sighed, smirk on her face. Of course she couldn't just surprise him at work. The people she had to go through were going to be painfully annoying. She would have to surprise him some other way, but she would do it in the end.

She pulled out her phone, glaring at the boy who was in for the shock of his life and dialed a number.. After four rings, the Kaiba Tech answering recording came on. She didn't wait to punch in the extension for Kaiba's personal office and waited for another four rings.

"Hey Kaiba. Got any meetings today?" She asked into the phone when he finally did answer. The man at the desk paused, glanced at her a moment, then scoffed and turned back to his book. "Good, cause I'm down in the lobby and some jackass at the front desk thinks he's the shit and wont let me up to see you." She paused for his response, which was a chuckle and a question, and deflated a little bit. "Maybe it was, but I swear I'll get you later." He put her on hold for a moment and the phone next to the man at the desk rang.

She watched as he answered it as dully as he had treated her and suddenly straighten, color draining from his face. Even Caleeya heard his personal message from the boss.

"Let her the fuck up." It was short and simple. All he needed to give the man a heart attack. Caleeya re-approached the desk with a smile on her face.

"Be a dear?" She said in mock kindness as he hit the button that unlocked the elevators.

Once inside she found herself next to a large intimidating looking man. He seemed to be a guard of some sort and looked at her expectantly.

"Uh, Kaiba's floor?" She requested and the large man glanced at the greeting desk. The tiny broken employee nodded hastily just before the doors shut and the big man hit a button and typed in a code. Caleeya brought the phone back to her ear and heard as the lame waiting music was turned off.

"He let you in right?" Kaiba's voice asked.

"Hun, He nearly shat himself." Caleeya laughed out. She glanced around the elevator and sighed. "You need to do something about these elevators. What is this? It looks like teak." She said brushing her hand over the wooden panel of the small thing.

"It is." He responded confusedly. He wasn't used to being critiqued so casually.

"Sweetie, teak is for dressers and wardrobes. You need something like Mahogany or cherry. You're Seto freaking Kaiba. You're a fancy guy. And ugh... this is cracked and scuffed to hell. Very unprofessional sir." She said, smile spreading across her face so wide she wondered if he could hear it.

"I'll take your comments into consideration." She could tell he didn't like her tone. It was one of a scolding parent again, one she loved using.

"No, you'll fix it. I know you. You don't halfass anything. Oh, I'm getting out of the elevator. See you in a second." She hung up before he could verbally abuse her, but knew he'd get his chance in a few minutes. She stepped out, his office being obvious to her and she moved to the door.

"Uh, Miss, Mr. Kaiba is busy, um..." A disheveled looking secretary said, moving between her and the office. This one didn't look high and mighty. He actually looked somewhat sad. Poor thing. She glanced to where he had run from and noticed another girl glaring daggers at her. She moved towards her in much the same fashion a five year old would tantrum across a school yard and came face to face with her, making the poor secretary panic a little more.

"You leave my Seto alone. He's mine. If you think you're going to ride his wallet into fame, I'm sorry, but that seat is taken." She sneered into Caleeya's face. For a moment Caleeya felt saddened. This was how people treated him. This was how girls used him. It was sickening. They didn't notice as the secretary moved back a few feet and knocked lightly on the door to his bosses office. When the thing opened he didn't even look back at the young billionaire.

"There's...um-"

"A problem." His bosses voice finished for him. Kaiba stepped out of his office but went unnoticed.

"Listen bitch, I don't need to ride on anyone's wallet. I'm freakin loaded. And as for your little attempt at an intimidation" Caleeya paused to laugh, then moved quickly to her, her face no barely an inch from the girl's as her eyes took on the look of a demon ready to devour a soul. "Your bull shit is not going to work on me. I chew bitches like you up and spit them out before they can even wonder why. You make me sick. Using people without doing a damned thing for yourself. People like you are the reason men don't trust women.

"You think your pretty looks will get you through life, but in ten years, when the makeup and surgery and creams and concealers wont hide your ugliness anymore you'll be on the side of the road picking up dirt bags and getting excited cause you almost got them half way hard. So get out of my face." Caleeya waited for the girl to step back and after a few minutes, she did. She started in a huff off to the elevator.

Caleeya noticed Kaiba in the doorway to his office, a smile spread from ear to ear. She glanced back and noticed the girl hadn't made it all the way out yet when she rushed over to Kaiba's side.

"Hi honey, I missed you so much." She said, clinging to his arm and watching as the girl turned and glared at her. Kaiba caught himself before glancing up and put his arm around Caleeya. He could hear her fit as the doors to the elevator close and let out a laugh when she was finally gone.

"I live for moments just like that." Caleeya said between laughter as she tried to straighten herself.

"You've annihilated a major thorn in my side today." He commented, already back in control of himself.

"Well, bitches need to step off my friends." Caleeya said nonchalantly. "Alright, come on. You're taking me out to eat." Kaiba raised his eyebrow down at her and smirked.

"Doesn't kidnapping mean you're supposed to take me out?"

"Well, as you've previously stated, I've failed at the whole kidnapping part. And I'm pretty sure you owe me. I've taken you out two times already. You have yet to."

"You mean, you're actually going to let me pay?" he never thought the words would come out of his mouth.

"You can earn the right to pay." She said slyly. "Maybe this time you'll win." His eyes narrowed but his smirk remained. She was challenging him and with a definite burn attached to it. She smiled widely as she rose her hand and brought her finger to her mouth. She licked the tip and drew a check mark in the air. "That's one more for me." She said happily. Now that a score was being kept, Kaiba's natural competitiveness had taken over. He would be winning by tonight. "Let's go to dinner, you pain in the ass." She said turning towards the elevator.

"I can be a pain in yours, if you want." His voice called from behind her. She froze. Her head slowly turned back to him as shock took over. He was there, right behind her. He put one hand on her shoulder and brought the other one up to his mouth, licking the tip of his finger and drawing a check in the air before her. It took another moment for her to gain back her voice.

"Ok, you only earn that one because I totally wasn't expecting an innuendo." He smirked and moved around her into the elevator. She finally followed him in and cracked a smile as she shook her head.

"What... just happened?" The secretary asked himself as the rest of the people who had gathered to watch the display started to talk among themselves.
