Wazzup yo! i know i didn't update YESERDays but i was trying to do my government homework which was due like, last wednesday...glob, i'm like SO not into government...but anyways. I would recommend everyone to listen to Liv Kristine singing "Ave Maria" (just to go youtube and type 'Liv Kristine Ave Maria') for those of you who are 'musical' let me inform you that i KNOW that this version of the song is NOT sung in traditional opera style. But that is NOT the point of why i choose her version, i chose Liv Kristine because ONE, i LOVE her songs! and two, if i were to pick an American music voice for SHizuka it would be Liv Kristine. Please listen to her and you'll probably see what i mean. ANYWAYS! enjoy!

DIZCLAMER: I own nothin' y'all!

IN REALITY, SHIZUKA DIDN'T want to go. She really didn't want to go. Kaiba had asked her several weeks ago if she wanted to go with him to this society meeting. Of course, Shizuka, thinking as her duty as his wife, she should agree, and she did. The second she did, she regretted it.

She doesn't fit into Kaiba's high class social life. She wasn't used to it. She still cooks, irons her own clothes and she still goes to the store to buy groceries! Seriously?! Her husband is FRIGGIN' rich! Why does she still act like a normal person?

Kaiba had sensed that she didn't want to go, but, Shizuka is stubborn and insisted that she should go….because she felt like it would hurt her husband's feelings(Actually, Kaiba doesn't want to go either…he hates social gatherings).

As Kaiba waited downstairs for his wife to get ready, he began to worry about the public's attitude towards his wife. This will be the first time Shizuka will appear before everyone with him as his wife. He knew there was going to be some trouble…especially…from THEM.

Kaiba's thoughts were cut off as he heard Shizuka call down from the stairs, "S-Seto?"

Kaiba looked up and smirked, Shizuka was wearing a navy Jovani lace gown with beading embellishments from her neckline down all the way to her side, with a chiffon panel down her side, emphasizing her curvy body. She had a princess-like up do; her hair was up in a messy bun, with most of her hair down with the tips slightly curled. She kept her make up natural, because she didn't need make up, Shizuka already was beautiful, and that is what makes Kaiba more proud of her.

She walked slowly down the stairs, hugging her body, trying to cover herself. She also held her head down when she finally came before Kaiba, She whispered, "I…I look silly…don't I?"

Was this woman INSANE? Shizuka was drop-dead gorgeous! She would be the envy of many men and woman at that stupid gathering (much to Kaiba's delight).

Kaiba shook his head, "A Kaiba could NEVER look silly," he said coldly.

At this, Shizuka gave him a shy smile

They decided to check on the twins before they left, Kisa and Seto were sound asleep. They both wished they could have stayed but, it was too late now, they were already ready.

And then they headed out the door.

LATERS…

Just as Kaiba suspected…THEY were there…his hated fanclub. They stood in ther usual corner laughing and probably gossiping about stuff that doesn't matter. He despised every girl in it. Especially, a certain girl (which Kaiba likes to call head b*tch), Emiko.

Kaiba held Shizuka closer to him, his way of trying to protect her. This gesture made Shizuka blush.

Kaiba narrowed his eyes as a man smiled and made an announcement of their arrival, "Presenting Mr. Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaibacorp, along with his wife, Mrs. Shizuka Kaiba,"

Everyone turned, their eyes immediately falling on Shizuka, who looked down at the floor, blushing.

Most men were disappointed on how Kaiba managed to get a beautiful girl like Shizuka. While some women where either smiling at the happy couple, or glaring at Shizuka wondering what technique she used to tame the great dragon.

Kaiba glared at those girls, especially at Emiko, a curly brunette girl, with a LOT of make up on and possibly the most revealing dress known to man. He watched her giving dark looks to Shizuka, who didn't pay any attention to the stares she was getting. She was waiting for Kaiba to find their seat.

Once they sat down, Shizuka felt relieved. She wasn't used to so much attention. But hey, that's what's expecting since she married and billionaire. Shizuka was so nervous, she was glad Kaiba didn't let go of her hand. Or else she might have a panic attack.

Kaiba casually held up her hand to his face, placing his lips on the back of her palm, "You did well," he said. Shizuka smiled.

MEANWHILES….

Emiko glared at the couple sitting at a table several tables away from her, "So what's that b*tch got that we don't have?" she said out loud to her fellow girlfriends. "What did that slut do to get Kaiba? Did she blackmailed him or did she have good sleeping techniques?"

A girl next to Emiko smiled, "Maybe we should find out ourselves…"

Another girl shook her head, "Or MAYBE…we should determine whether she's worthy enough for Kaiba-kun,"

At that comment, Emiko's lips slowly formed a nasty smile, "Not a bad idea…not a bad idea…"

LATERS…

As Shizuka was heading back to her table back to Kaiba, three girls suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way(don't ya hate it when b*tches do that? It proves to me how much of cowards they are…and of course…pathetic).

Emiko smiled sweetly at Shizuka, and said, "Well, if it isn't MRS. Seto Kaiba," She said, 'Mrs' with such bitterness. Shizuka blinked and said, "Uh, h-hello," Shizuka gave them a warm smile, but neither girl returned her smile, instead the all crossed they're arms and Emiko asked. Shizuka gulped.

"So, what did you do? Did you blackmailed him? Or did you use perverted techniques to arouse the dragon?"

Shizuka gave them a puzzled look, "Techniques?" she said uncertainly.

Emiko suddenly grabbed her hair and yanked off some bobby pins, "Don't play dumb with me! You KNOW EXACTLY what I'm talking about!"

Shizuka looked down at her pins and then she glared at them, "What is your problem?" she asked.

Another girl answered, "Our problem is YOU! Stay away from KAIBA!" she said.

At this, Shizuka frowned, "Is this what this is about? You are ALL after Seto?" Emiko slapped her, Shizuka released a cry of pain, "Don't YOU DARE call Kaiba-kun's name so casually!" she shrieked.

Shizuka placed her hand over her injured cheek; she shouldn't cry….what would Kaiba say? Kaiba would be ashamed of her if she let out one tear. But what would Kaiba do?

She imagined Kaiba standing on front of these girls, but instead of girls they were men. Kaiba would glare at them and say, "You're going to regret that. Anyone who THINKS I'll be afraid of ANY pathetic threats are complete fools."

Shizuka glared at those girls and said…trying to sound cold and icy like Kaiba, "You're going to regret that,"

Emiko smirked, "Regret?" she laughed, "I think not, but I think YOU are. I propose a challenge…she glanced at a nearby clock, "Thirty minutes from now, you are going to perform on the main stage, where everybody can see. " Emiko held out her hand, a girl smirked and handed her several pieces of paper, "You're going to perform…this,"

She handed Shizuka the pieces of paper, Shizuka's eyes widened…

"But.." Shizuka began weakly, but all three girls shoved her in a room, "Why so shy, dearie? You must get ready for your BIG performance!" Emiko said, and all girls left laughing like a bunch of hyenas.

LATERS…

Kaiba glanced at his watch, ok, he knew women take their sweet time to put on make up and do their business but THIRTY minutes? What is she doing? Handing people some toilet paper?

Kaiba Got up and was about to literally walk in the women's bathroom and drag Shizuka out. As he got up, he heard the girls let out shrieks of laughter, "Oh I can't wait!" one of the girls were saying, "This is going to be some hell of a performance!" and they all laughed. Kaiba couldn't help but to notice how Emiko laughter was the loudest. Kaiba narrowed his eyes, he hoped nothing bad happened to Shizuka, if something DID…well, those b*tches were going to pay.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Began an announcer, "tonight we have a special, unexpected performance…"

Kaiba's eyes widened, and her turned to the girls' table, but then he smirked. No, he wasn't going to stop it now…maybe HE should have some fun. This may be the ONLY way to get back at them; Kaiba turned back to his seat, and watched the performance.

Shizuka finally appeared, her hair no longer in her up-do, which made Kaiba upset. Yet she still managed to look amazing.

He saw her take several deep breaths; he could tell that she was terrified. "Just say it," Kaiba whispered, just say it and I'll stop everything…

He almost had forgotten about Shizuka's shyness. But he saw her slowly opened her eyes and have a soft spark. He smiled, of course, this is Shizuka's challenge. She needed this; he or anyone else shouldn't always be there and baby Shizuka. No, she needed to stand on her feet, she can do it. No one has let her do it before…until she met him.

The piano began to play the soft, soothing chorus of the masterpiece of "Ave Maria".

Then, Shizuka began to sing, and he heard many people gasp. Since when could Shizuka sing?

He could hear her nervousness as she sang during her pause for breaths, in her vibrato (it's kinda when a person sounds like their voice is vibrating…it's kinda hard to explain what it is exactly).

Yet she still manages to sing at her best. He smirked; he could feel all eyes on him. He knew, without a doubt, they were praising him on finding such a wife.

He didn't look at anyone; he kept his eyes on Shizuka. Shizuka kept her eyes closed, as she sang.

She was terrified; she could feel everyone's eyes upon her. How is her singing? She didn't sound weird did she?

As she finished her song, she took another deep breath and bowed. The cheering and round of applause almost made her cry in fear. They loved it!

Shizuka quickly got off the stage to look for Kaiba, but he was already waiting for her back stage. She buried herself into his chest. Kaiba did exactly what she wanted him to do, he embraced her.

They headed outside, they had enough, they wanted to leave. Yet people were stopping them, "Mrs. Kaiba…when did you learn how to sing?" someone rich guy asked her.

It was Kaiba who answered, "I don't see how it's any of your business! Now get out of my way!"

No one challenged him, and everyone did. Shizuka saw Emiko and her followers standing at a distance, lost for words. Shizuka couldn't help but to smile, without anyone's help, she managed to stand up to herself and prove those girls who was better.

They thought they could make a laughing stock out of her because they ASSUMED that a penniless girl like her couldn't sing. She proved them wrong, she wasn't afraid of singing, Shizuka loved to sing, but she was afraid of performing in front of everyone.

As they got into their limo, Kaiba asked her, "Shizuka, when DID you learn how to sing?"

Shizuka blinked twice, "I was never taught. When I was in kindergarten, my music teacher noticed how my voice would naturally be in tune. So she decided to help me 'expand my horizons' as she used to say. She gave me free personal lesson and things…before…my parent's separated."

Kaiba smiled, "I'm proud of you Shizuka," he whispered. Shizuka blushed and then giggled, "I love you, Seto," she said.

Kaiba smirked, "I know," he said, "Next time, when I invited you to a social gathering…say you don't want to go. I hate parties."

wowsies...this is probably the LONGEST chapter i've evers written! YAY ME! i know it was probably a bit boring...but i thought...as Kaiba's wife of course there be people who wouldn't like SHizuka just because she is WITH him. so i had to write it down...i hope everyone enjoyed it...ANYWAYS! read n' review!
