Yeah, I still own nothing. Seriously, it isn't going to change…
At school the next day Kate felt awkward in first period. Joey was completely avoiding eye contact with her. Kaiba was typing away as always and after the kiss yesterday Kate didn't feel like getting his attention like she normally would have. Throughout the entire first period Kate just focused on her work without talking to either of them. At the end of class while she was packing up her stuff Kate happened to look back at Kaiba. He held eye contact with her and then smirked ever so slightly as he walked past her and out the door.
Kate breezed through the rest of the day and into lunch where she sat next to Kaiba without hesitation. She placed her lunch down, said hi, and received a muttered hi in return.
"So we're okay now?" Kate asked hesitatingly.
Kaiba barely glanced at her as he continued typing on the computer. Kate smiled at his normal reaction as she started up with her everyday chatter.
About halfway into lunch Kate stopped her long monologue as Kaiba shut his laptop himself.
"Hey, isn't that my job?" Kate asked in shock.
Kaiba looked at something, or someone, in the lunch area before quickly turning back to Kate. He put his hand on the side of her face to keep her from looking to see what he had been looking at and leaned toward her.
"Well I think that I've found an easy way to shut you up," and with that said, he kissed her on the lips.
Kate closed her eyes and managed to keep enough of her wits this time to kiss him back when somebody suddenly shrieked.
"Kaiba!"
Kate and Kaiba pulled away from each other and looked up to see Adele in front of them. Kaiba smirked.
"Kaiba, how could you? I thought that you loved me?!" Adele looked at Kaiba with watery eyes.
Kaiba turned to his laptop and reopened it, "I don't believe there's even a remote chance of me liking you. How could I possibly love you?" Adele made a slight noise of disbelief and Kaiba glanced at her as his laptop rebooted. "I'm glad you finally realize that there isn't anything between us and in the future never presume such things."
Adele just looked at him for a few seconds before breaking out in tears and making a dash to the bathroom. Kate watched her go and then looked over at Kaiba.
"You set that whole thing up didn't you?" Kate watched him type on the computer nonchalantly. She stood up, "You… I just…" Kate sighed, "I'll see you at work later." With that said Kate ran off to the bathroom to find Adele.
Kate found her sobbing uncontrollably in the bathroom.
"Listen Adele –" Kate was cut off from what she was going to say as Adele slapped her.
"I can't believe he cheated on me with you. On top of that he was kissing you! He didn't kiss me, not once during our relationship!" Adele collapsed onto the floor sobbing, "When he finally said yes I was so happy. I thought that I had finally managed to capture the great and powerful Seto Kaiba. I never realized that every time he turned me down afterwards was him trying to get rid of me. I just thought that he was busy or," Adele let out a giant sob, "or just shy!"
Adele wiped off her face and stood up, "He may have dumped me and humiliated me but I'm still going to chase him. I won't give up," Adele exited the bathroom quickly as the bell rang.
Kate followed Adele feeling extremely dirty. She realized that Kaiba had used her to hurt Adele and she had enjoyed it. Even though Kate couldn't honestly say that she liked Adele in the slightest it made her feel so horrible to have been used that way.
"I feel like a whore, he's made me feel like a whore," she muttered to herself.
On her way up the elevator Kate wondered what she was going to do about Kaiba. She wasn't able to deny that she felt some sort of attraction toward her boss but she also couldn't deny that he just saw her as a tool. She was just something to be used at his whim.
Kate growled and slammed her head into the side of the elevator as the door opened on the 16th floor to allow someone entrance. The man just stared at her for a minute.
"Sorry miss, is this elevator going up? I wanted to take one that was, erm, going down," he said as the doors began to close.
Kate sighed in defeat and allowed the doors to close on the still stuttering man. Finally after a few uneventful pick-ups and drop-offs the elevator reached the top floor.
Kate put her stuff down on her desk and muttered, "I swear that man needs to give me my own elevator. Or at least allow me access to his!"
"Now why should I do that?" Kate froze as she heard his calm voice behind her. Changing her grimace to a smile she turned around.
"I wasn't expecting to see you so early today Mr. Kaiba."
Kaiba's usual smirk adorned his face as he moved toward her. He kept coming toward her until he had her pinned against her desk. He leaned forward until he was practically breathing into her ear. "I was hoping that we could continue from where we left off when we were so rudely interrupted during lunch," he murmured.
Kate resisted the urge to shiver as he pulled away and gave her a once over. Then the meaning of his words hit her.
"Wait! What do you mean? You got what you wanted, why do you still need me? There's nobody here for you to use me against," Kate pushed him away and looked around in confusion. "I'm aware that you've been using me Kaiba, don't presume to think me naïve."
Kaiba sneered at her, "You must be so proud of yourself for figuring me out but what motives do I have for doing this –" Kaiba grabbed her shoulders and kissed her again. His kiss this time was demanding, practically ordering her to submit to his whims and wishes. Kate knew that he was just exerting his control over her and she submitted to it. Kaiba broke the kiss and smirked at her, "unless of course you mean to tell me that you think that I've been using you merely for my own satisfaction and pleasure."
Kate pulled away and glared, "I think that I have work to do Mr. Kaiba." She pulled out her desk chair and sat down. "Now if you'll excuse me."
Kaiba smirked knowing that she was weakening, "Check in with me before you leave Miss. Crawford." He walked into his office and shut the door behind him.
Kate sighed and looked at the clock. Perhaps she could just leave and pretend that she had forgotten that Kaiba wanted to see her. Kate started to silently pack up, she had just finished and was making sure that everything was put away on her desk as the intercom beeped.
"I'm free for the moment Kate, why don't you come in and see me right now," Kaiba's voice reached every corner of the room. Kate glared at the evil electronic device as she shuffled towards Kaiba's doors. Just randomly pushing them open without knocking she walked across the room and sat down across from him.
"You wanted to see me sir," Kate crossed her arms and glared over at him defiantly.
"Yes, I've decided to let you use my personal elevator."
Kate grinned, "Seriously?"
Kaiba smirked, "Yes, however there is a catch." Kate slumped down in the chair. She should've known. Kaiba continued, "I won't give you the security codes to operate it so I'll give you a ride to work everyday and you may accompany me in it."
Kate looked at Kaiba warily, "Kaiba, what do you want from me?"
Kaiba smirked at the girl's straightforwardness. "It's quite simple. I don't want anything from you, I want you."
"Wait, wha?" Kate sputtered.
Kaiba leaned forward in his desk, "You work for me now, if you weren't mine before than you are mine now." Kate just stared at him in shock as he pushed back his chair and stood up. Kaiba walked around the desk and stopped right behind her. Bending over slightly Kaiba ran his hands along her shoulders and down to her wrists. "I want you to answer to me and only me and I don't want anyone else ever touching you," he pushed in her chair leaving her pinned between the chair and the desk, "especially… not… that… damned… mutt." With every word he brought her hands closer and closer together behind her back. Finally he had her completely pinned and immobilized. However Kate was too shocked to even fully comprehend what was happening.
Kaiba looked at her scornfully, "Have I made myself clear? You are mine and nobody else is allowed to even go near you."
Kate nodded, slightly afraid. Kaiba tightened his grip on her hands, "tell me that you're mine and mine alone."
Kate breathed in heavily, "I'm yours and yours alone." Tilting her head down slightly Kate submitted to him.
Kaiba released her and straightened, "you may go now."
Kate stood up and dashed out the door.
Kaiba watched her go and he smirked slightly thinking of what a good tool she would be. He enjoyed making her squirm and he enjoyed exerting his control over her and watching her submit to him. She might even prove to be more useful than a simple toy in the future. She had been very useful in finally disposing of Adele today.
'Because really,' he thought to himself, 'why would I be showing any interest in her unless she was potentially useful?'
Authors Note: Yeah, wow, it's been how long again?
Okay well somebody contacted me and persuaded me to pick up this story again. So I have. If people still want to read it then I shall do my best to keep it going until the very end. Really I had this chapter written out a while ago but my computer died and I lost everything and well I did NOT want to re-write it.
Kaiba isn't being evil in this chapter, just extremely possessive and controlling. He's having problems understanding that his interest in Kate thus far is attributed to the fact that she treats him like a normal person. Yeah, I don't think I wrote it adequately enough.
Oh well, more later I suppose as I want to get this posted.
