Seto
"Mr. Kaiba, I have a man here saying he needs to speak with you," my secretary said through the phone. "He's an essential partner, shall I send him in?"
I sat in my office high above the city. I was in no mood to have an impromptu meeting with anyone; but, I knew my secretary would not dare ask if she even questioned if it were important or not. She had made that mistake once before, and I knew she would dare not make it again. "Send him in," I replied unhappily.
However, my secretary was wrong again. The man who next came into my office I may have considered the least significant person alive. The doors opened and in strolled Pegasus, followed by a handful of his goons. I was surprised he dared show his face here. That was probably why he had so many men with him: he knew he was in my territory now and far away from the safety of his private island.
"What are you doing here, Pegasus?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes.
"Oh Kaiba-boy, so nice to see you. I know you're a busy boy. In fact, I hear you'll be hosting a new tournament soon. I swear, you're the best promotion for my product, and I don't have to do anything! How generous!"
"You have five seconds to get out of my office." I was getting angrier with each passing second he stood there.
"Oh, yes. Now you have a business to run and I have a business to run, so I'll cut to the chase: I'm looking for my daughter. I know she left my island with you and I have had no luck tracking her down. Where did she have you take her? Where did you drop her off? We go so far back Kaiba-boy, do me this one little favor and tell me what you know."
I knew where she was; I so badly wanted to rub it in his face. It took all my restraint to keep from telling him 'I last saw her this morning, in my bed, asleep in my arms.' I stood up, leaning my hands on my desk. "How dare you come to my office, to my city, and make demands. Get out now, I have no time to deal with your own pathetic failures."
"Come now, the sooner you tell me what you know, the sooner I'll be gone," he insisted.
And then I lost my temper. "You told me that you would be devastated to see any man drag her down, yet here you are tracking her like an animal! I had to carry her unconscious body away from your castle. I will never turn her over to you."
His voice became fierce, "So you do know where she is!"
"Get out before I call the police. Or worse, find my own way to deal with you," I snarled.
"Mark my words, Kaiba, I will get my daughter back. And if I find out you have done anything to her, it will be me who deals with you," he warned darkly.
"Your empty threats don't scare me, Pegasus. GET OUT!" I roared.
He looked at me and hummed, frustrated and knowing he would not get anything out of me. He then turned on his heel and left, followed by his goons. I sat back down in my chair and folded my hands. I didn't think that Pegasus would be able to find her, but still, she would have to spend many more nights in my arms now if I was ever going to get any sleep.

Then he suddenly clung to me, taking me off guard. He squeezed me right around my waist so I couldn't move, his head against my ribcage. "I love you," he said.
