Author: Hello friends and welcome to Chapter 11. Despite finding it a bit of a challenge to find the time to update, I finally did it! With all the great reviews I received on my last chapter I just thought that I had to make time to do it.

Sorry if the party saga has been going on for the last few chapters, but this should be the last of it. The next few chapters will hopefully lead up to the interesting stuff between Rebecca and Kaiba (*wink, wink) You will also learn more about their ancient past :)

Enjoy and review!

Chapter 11 - Kaiba's girlfriend?

Rebecca watched on in horror, as she watched the blonde's hands wondering all over Kaiba. Sure the night had been full of had been full of surprises but she sure wasn't expecting this! It had never crossed her mind that the egoistic, blue-eyed CEO would have a girlfriend, but then again another part of her felt foolish for not thinking otherwise. 'Well, what were you expecting?' a voice inside her head scoffed. 'That someone as talented and good-looking as him would be single. You've got to be kidding yourself!'

Feeling quite uneasy about the whole situation, her eyes nervously flickered back and forth from the "perfect" couple. It was actually surprising seeing how relaxed Kaiba was. It was a big contrast to how jumpy and agitated he appeared to be before with her. Yes, Kaiba seemed to be happy with her and who could blame him? The woman was essentially flawless. She was stunning, the definition of beautiful and the thing that unsettled Rebecca the most was the fact that she and this girl were total opposites. She was everything that she wasn't.

Kaiba's girlfriend had long blonde hair, blue eyes like marbles nearly matching the beauty of his and she was around 6ft in height. Hell, the woman looked like a living barbie doll. She was a prize to be won and he was the victor. Rebecca knew that with her on his arm Kaiba would've been the envy of all men. It even made her wonder about herself. She couldn't help but contemplate if her physical appearance was the reason why he treated her so differently. Was he really that superficial? Was that the real reason he despised her merely because of the way she looked?

The awkwardness continued as so did her touchy, feely behavior towards him. She continued to stroke his back, run her fingers through his hair, nibble at his ears. It was obvious that the girl was yearning for his affection and sadly for her Kaiba showed her little of it. As a matter of fact, it seemed that after a while she was making him feel quite flustered and embarrassed. He clearly wasn't a fan of PDA. She made a second attempt to kiss him on the lips however he brushed her off by turning his cheek. Kaiba then cleared his throat and she stopped dead in her tracks upon realizing that they had company. She looked up and her gaze fixed on Rebecca. Not knowing what else to do Kaiba thought it was best to stick to his formalities once again.

"Elaine, I'd like you to meet Rebecca." he began in his usual husky voice. "She's the daughter of my newest holographic programmer and we also attend the same high school - Domino high."

"Hi, it's lovely to meet you," Rebecca said forcing a smile as she offered out her hand.

The blonde who was known as "Elaine" simply smirked and crossed her arms rejecting the American completely. Rebecca grimaced slightly in confusion and hoping to avoid any further humiliation dropped her suspended hand down by her side. She looked up at Kaiba hoping to gauge his reaction to his lover's like-minded hostility. Unfortunately, his facial expression appeared blank. The man frustrated her because he was like a robot and was able to conceal any form of human emotion.

Not wanting a repeat of the uncomfortable situation before, Rebecca thought that it was best if she left as soon as possible. She wasn't an idiot and she could tell by Elaine's contemptuous body language that she clearly wasn't wanted. Biting her lip in vexation she began to think of how she could politely excuse herself to leave. The girl wasn't a psychic but she could predict that if she stayed that something bad was going to happen. When it came to Rebecca's intuition she was always right.

"Well it was really nice meeting you, Elaine," She began, trying to remain as friendly as possible. "But I think that I have to go now..."

"Mr Kaiba!"

Two men wearing suits rushed towards him, Rebecca assumed that they were his security guards. After surveying both men she did a double take. She realized that one of them looked quite familiar. She was very certain that she had seen that bluenette with the mustache somewhere before. Ah yes! She remembered now, he was Kaiba's driver. The kind one who had helped her after the accident, she remembered his name was Roland. He quickly glanced at her and she could tell from his facial expression that feelings were mutual and that he remembered her too.

"Hello miss," he greeted, giving Rebecca a small nod of acknowledgment. "How has your recovery been since the accident? Don't worry, Mr. Kaiba has made sure that all of your hospital expenses have been funded on his behalf."

"Um, thanks," Rebecca replied hastily. Even though it happened a while ago, she still felt quite sensitive about the topic.

"Why did you want to see me again?" Kaiba snapped abruptly changing the subject. It seemed like something he wasn't too keen to discuss either, especially in front of Elaine. It made Rebecca wonder if the story of how they met was a secret shared only between the both of them.

"Uh right!" the other man quickly replied. "We thought that we'd inform you that Mr. Maximillion Pegasus has arrived and he wishes to speak with you to discuss business."

Kaiba grunted irritably. "And he wants to do this now?"

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing this Elaine folded her arms and pouted childishly. "Awww do you have to go?" she questioned, her voice full of disappointment.

"Yes," he sighed. "But I'll be back soon."

Rebecca's eyes followed Kaiba as he walked away with the two men. She thought that while he was making his exit it were best if she made her exit too. Hoisting her dress up on either side, she hurriedly sped away as fast as she could. Once she noticed that she was a fair distance away from Elaine, she sighed heavily in relief. She hoped that now all the drama was over and that she could finally relax for the night, but unfortunately she was wrong.

"Hey, short stuff!" Elaine called out, making her cringe at her choice of words. "I'm not done talking to you just yet!"

A part of her wanted to keep walking, to ignore her completely because honestly, she had had enough of it all. She had already promised herself that she wasn't going to take any bullshit from Kaiba and his girlfriend was definitely no exception. Rebecca knew very well what bullying was and she had been a victim of it in the past. However, now that she was older refused to let intimidation tactics get the best of her. "My name's Rebecca, you got that?" she shot back.

Elaine's eyes widened slightly in shock, she had not been expecting Rebecca to respond to her like this. After what Rebecca had said sunk in they narrowed again and a smirk formed on her lips. She marched up to her without any hesitation, it seemed that she had something to say.

"Yeah, so what did you want to talk to me about?" Rebecca urged, raising one eyebrow.

"I think you know exactly!" Elaine scoffed, tilting her head to one side. "I saw the way you were looking at my man."

"What are you talking about?" she questioned, frowning defensively. "I wasn't looking at him!"

Now what Rebecca was saying wasn't completely true, as much as she hated to admit it Elaine was right. She had been eyeing Kaiba and this fancy corporation party wasn't the only time she had done so. She actually checked him out on a daily basis, sometimes it was in class or the cafeteria, in the library... on second thought, she did it in every place she happened to see him.

Usually, she and Joey would get together and complain about having to share a desk with him in some of her classes, but secretly she didn't mind at all. Rebecca quite enjoyed sneaking a glimpse at "Mr. Blue eyes" every now and then. With a seat directly next to him it was indisputable that she had the best view in the class. Then there were all those times in cafeteria, where she would just sit there and watch him. Every day Kaiba would sit there all by himself working away on his laptop, reading business contracts and signing papers. Constantly she would sit there eating her lunch wondering how someone so beautiful, so perfect could spend most of his time alone.

Lastly were the times she would see Kaiba in the library, again she observed that he enjoyed the feeling of solitude and seclusion. She would often see him there seated in silence reading a book. Rebecca noted that even though his facial expression was serious and stoic while he read, at times she would see the corners of his lips turn upwards and she would see him smile. She didn't understand why but there was something strangely satisfying about could no longer deny it. She knew that no matter how much she hated him the attraction would always be there, but then again she felt that there was something much more than that. At times she felt that they had met each other for a reason, reasons that went beyond the fact that they came into each other's lives simply because she was negligent when crossing the road.

Rebecca took a while to realize it, but she had zoned out completely. She snapped back into reality and with a dazed look, her eyes moved up towards the snarky blonde. Holy crap the woman didn't look too happy! Elaine's jaw had tightened and her nostrils flared angrily, it was obvious that she was ticked off with her. 'Well why wouldn't she be?' a voice inside her head chuckled. 'You just drifting off into la-la land fantasizing about her boyfriend.' The more she thought about it the more guilty about it, but another part of her showed little remorse. After all, she had been blatantly accused of such a harmless crime.

'So what if you were checking him out?' another voice inside her head countered. 'It's not as if you're the only one who does it. He's a celebrity for goodness sake and eyes are meant for looking... hehe' She liked the reasoning of this voice. Why should she be made to feel bad if she didn't know about his relationship in the first place, Mmmm... but he was dreamy with his porcelain skin, brown hair and blue eyes. There she went again! She shook away the thoughts, now wasn't the time. Rebecca had Elaine breathing down her neck and she had to think of something more believable and fast. She knew simply denying her accusations wasn't going to get her out of this one.

"E-elaine, I..I" Rebecca managed to croak out.

"That's enough!" She snapped. "I don't want to hear any more of your lame excuses." Unexpectedly a twisted smile formed on her face, making Rebecca feel more confused than ever. " You know it's sort of cute in a pathetic kind of way, you crushing on him and all."

Rebecca sighed in frustration. "I already told you, I'm not interested in h-"

"The only reason he was talking to you earlier is because he pity's you." Elaine cut in.

"It's funny you say that because the Seto Kaiba I know doesn't pity anyone." She countered.

Suddenly their heated argument was interrupted by a voice. "Hey guys, is everything alright?" Rebecca quickly turned her head to see Mokuba. Now she was really starting to worry. She expected him to give her a good scolding, to tell her that she was out of line but strangely enough, he didn't. He actually seemed genuinely concerned for her and what surprised her the most was that he stood by her side instead of Elaine's. Hell, she had just met the boy so why wasn't he sticking up for his own brother's girlfriend?

"What do you want twerp?" She barked crossly. "Don't be a nuisance to me just as you are to your brother!"

Mokuba looked down sorrowfully and at the same time, Rebecca felt her blood boil in anger. Who the hell did she think he was speaking to him that way, he was just a kid. No way was she going to let her get away with it. "Hey, hey!" Rebecca yelled loudly, she could even see people turning around to look at her but honestly, she didn't care. "Don't you dare speak to Mokuba like that!" she hissed vehemently. "Who the hell do you think you are? How could you know what his brother thinks of him!?"

Elaine gave a bitchy laugh. "I know what Seto thinks of everyone including you. He tells me everything."

"Pfffttt... yeah right!" she replied scornfully.

The blonde studied Rebecca's facial expression to notice that she still appeared to be unphased about her last statement. "What you don't believe me?" she questioned giving a conceited smile. "Why don't I start from the beginning? He told me that you moved here from America and that you started school at Domino high."

'So the woman knows what an American accent sounds like... good for her!'

Rebecca rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, she didn't seem too impressed. Anyone could have known this standard information about her. No doubt Elaine had overheard her parents repeating that same fact about her over and over in their conversations with the other guests. Surely this wasn't the kind of thing that Kaiba was likely to discuss with her at a sit-down dinner.

"So you know that stuff about me." She replied light-heartedly. "Big deal! I'm sure everyone here does too."

"I wasn't finished." Elaine sneered derisively. "I know about your little secret, about how you first met. Do you often throw yourself in front of limousines in order to get financial compensation?"

Rebecca's heart skipped a beat. There was only one way Elaine could have known about this... if Kaiba had told her. It didn't make any sense, she felt so confused. She was pretty sure that Kaiba was acting defensively when Roland had mentioned her accident before. Oh boy, how wrong she had been...

"What are you talking about?" Mokuba interrupted, his face etched with confusion.

Elaine giggled to herself. "That's what you guys do back home right? You slip at the mall, fake an allergic reaction or get hit by a car just so that you can sue. I think it's disgusting and so does Seto!"

"Look, Elaine, I didn't do any of that on purpose. I was just careless that's all! I honestly don't know why you're bringing this up with me now, I mean I've already apologized to Kaiba. I was even going to continue walking to school like nothing happened."

"Nice try," she snickered. "but I don't believe you!"

"I don't care if you don't," Rebecca replied.

"Hmmm... it must just be an American thing." Elaine mused out loud. "Or maybe it isn't..."

"Don't you even have the nerve to insult where I've come from!" Rebecca lashed back. "I won't let you put down America."

"Ah yes," she smirked. "Seto mentioned how patriotic you were towards the United States. How you would go around preaching that you're from the land of liberty and freedom. It's quite funny actually I mean you say it's your country but then again I heard that your own president is even building a wall to keep people like you out."

"What are you on about?" Rebecca questioned. "I am so confused right now..."

"Of course you are, I understand why you would be." Elaine continued with a smug smile plastered on her face. "I mean look at you Rebecca, you're not really American! I know that, you know that and Seto knows that. Hmmm, now what were his exact words?" She pondered out loud whilst tapping her chin. "I remember now. He said that you're nothing but a lower-class Mexican and that he can't stand the sight of you."

Rebecca froze upon hearing those words, they cut deep. Even though she wasn't Mexican she knew that Kaiba was probably taking a stab at the fact that she was half Spanish. She did have black hair and brown eyes which were possibly the reason why he had made such generalizations about her in the first place. She knew Kaiba was a lot of things arrogant, conceited but she never knew he could stoop so low to judge one's character based on their race. Rebecca was proud of her mixed heritage but even so, everything still hurt just the same. Looking upwards she could feel the tears forming in her eyes and at the same time, she gritted her teeth. She didn't want Elaine to see her cry, she didn't want to give her that satisfaction. The bitch had a victorious smirk on her face but Rebecca wanted to let her know that she wasn't beat just yet.

"You know what Elaine?" she spat angrily. "You and Kaiba truly deserve each other! You're both just so caught up in your superficial lives judging people on how much money they have, what they look like, when none of that really matters! I actually feel really bad for you if you're going to continue living your life as such a shallow person."

"Hmph!" Elaine grunted, turning her nose upwards. "You're just jealous because you can't have him."

"Oh and I'm glad!" Rebecca retorted. "I would never want to be with that heartless jerk anyway."

"Rebecca..." Mokuba said softly. She could see the hurt in his eyes, she had upset him and she understood the reason why. She had just insulted his brother,but she would never take back what she said. Rebecca had meant all of it, each and every word.

"I'm sorry Mokuba..." She said in almost a whisper. Rebecca then turned her back and walked away...

Kaiba checked his watch for what seemed to be the ten-thousandth time. Where on earth was his driver? Fugata had promised him that he would be there to pick him up, but he was nowhere to be seen. Glancing to his right he observed Elaine texting away crazily on her phone occasionally stopping to take selfies. He rolled his eyes in disapproval and his fingers twitched agitatedly. Kaiba wished that he had his own technology himself so that he could start working. He desperately needed to take his mind off the things that happened tonight, to take his mind off Rebecca.

He shut his eyes and the events of the whole night flashed before him. It all replayed again in his head, from the moment he looked up and saw Rebecca sitting there, then having one of his employees introducing her as his daughter, to having his arm around her waist as the photographer photos of them. His mind continued to spin trying to comprehend it all. Today he had just found out that Rebecca was the daughter of his newest holographic programmer and he didn't know what this all would mean. A part of him hoped that because of this he would be able to see her more often, but the only question was how? He sure as hell wasn't going to have "bring your kid to work day" at Kaibacorp just so he could see her there.

Looking upwards he saw the flash of headlights, finally, the limousine had arrived. "About time Moku-" he began, however, he cut himself off in realizing his little brother's absence. Kaiba had forgotten that he had left earlier by himself with Roland. Speaking of which he couldn't help but notice that Mokuba had been acting strangely towards him, notably after he had spoken to Rebecca. He couldn't help but wonder if it had have been something that she had said to him because Mokuba kept ignoring him, shooting him disgusted looks and used sarcasm at every opportunity. Despite being good at reading people Kaiba found it hard to tell if there was something wrong or if his brother was simply becoming a moody teenager.

"Seto, are you coming?" Elaine questioned, she was already standing at the door. He slowly blinked a couple of times to regain his senses before simply nodding as he slid into the limo after her. The driver then revved the engine and sped off into the distance.

Kaiba rested his back against the soft leather seats and within a few seconds, he felt one of Elaine's perfectly manicured hands resting on his. "Did you have a good time baby?" She asked, tilting her head to one side as she battered her eyelashes.

He grunted. "I didn't host tonight's event so that I could simply have a good time. It was held to promote Kaibacorp's latest product - the duel disk system. I would have rather had the experience enjoyed by my guests. It's good for the reputation of myself and my company."

Elaine didn't seem too pleased with his answer. It was the typical kind of answer that one would be expected to receive from Seto Kaiba and with her short goldfish-like attention span it had her bored out of her mind. The woman had already taken a nail file out and began to file her nails. Kaiba feeling quite insulted growled under his breath, but even so decided not to say anything. He took a deep breath to keep his cool. "What about you, did you enjoy yourself?" he questioned politely.

A large smile formed on her face, she was happy that the spotlight was on her once again. "I had an amazing time! Everything was great... well until that Rebecca girl showed up." Kaiba seemed a bit taken aback, his eyes widening at the mention of her name. "How did you meet her anyway?"

Kaiba growled in annoyance, he only liked to tell people things once. He was the type of person who didn't like repeating himself, especially for the likes of simple-minded people. "Don't you remember?" he asked feeling quite irritated at her forgetfulness. " I told you, she and I attend the same high school."

"Oh, that's right! Elaine replied, finally having remembered. You didn't really like her, did you? She's so pathetic thinking that you'd waste your precious time on her, but don't worry," she cooed, gently brushing the back of his neck. "I made sure that she'll never bother you ever again."

At that moment Kaiba felt his blood run cold. "What do you mean?" he questioned, his blue eyes narrowing at her.

She sighed heavily. "It was quite easy actually, I mean all I really did was tell her the truth. I just told her what you really think of her..."

"And what's that? he questioned, his tone low and serious.

"That she's a lower-class Mexican and that you can't stand the sight of her. Someone had to tell her and it was better that she heard it from me then from someone else. She'll realize sooner or later, that is when she tries to back home to visit her friends and she gets deported."

Kaiba began to shake in anger, sure he did admit to saying a lot of horrible things about Rebecca but never something as low as this. He was never one to judge a person on their race. He knew that even though a person's origin said a lot about them, but it was never a way to define their character. Seto Kaiba could be described as many things but racist wasn't one of them. Elaine may have just thought that she was acting like the jealous girlfriend but she had taken things way too far. Now he was beginning to feel light-headed. If Elaine had told Rebecca that this was what he thinks of her, he sure as hell didn't want to imagine what Rebecca thought of him after this. She probably hated him and it was all Elaine's fault. He promised himself that he would never ever forgive her for this...

"Stop the car!" he yelled and within a few seconds, the limo came to a screeching halt.

Elaine's head tilted upwards to look at Kaiba, her eyes were watery possibly from the harsh force of the vehicle. Her perfectly curled hair now seemed somewhat disheveled and she was inhaling and exhaling deeply. It was obvious that she had been put into a great deal of shock. Once she had recollected herself she began to speak. "What's wrong Seto?" she asked, her voice full of concern. "Are you feeling sick?"

"The only thing that makes me sick is you." He snarled viciously. "How dare you speak on my behalf and degrade my character the way you did. I judge people based on their honesty, capability, and merit. I couldn't care less where they came from. It disgusts me that you could stoop so low and insult a person based on things that they can't change about themselves. Now get out, I have nothing more to say to you."

"What? I don't understand." She shook her head in disbelief. "I thought that you would be happy. I only did it because I care about you."

"The only person you care about is yourself." he countered angrily. "And because of that, you can walk home."

"Please, Seto don't leave me here." Elaine pleaded as she heard the door click open. "It's freezing out here and if I walk home I'll ruin my shoes!"

"Tell someone who cares," Kaiba laughed, his voice full of disdain. "Now stand back!"

"You can't do this to me" She wailed, as she reluctantly backed away from the limo.

"Watch me," he smirked, as slammed the door shut.

The limo then restarted its engine and began to drive off. Kaiba heard a loud thud and he looked out the window to see Elaine violently banging her fists on the moving limousine. "Who are you?" She screeched. He then instructed the driver to keep going and soon the international model was nothing but a small figure in the distance.

A small smile formed on his lips, Kaiba couldn't have felt happier with himself. He chuckled to himself as Elaine's last words rung in his head. 'What a stupid question!' he thought to himself. He knew exactly who he was. He was Seto Kaiba - the CEO of multinational gaming corporation Kaibacorp, Duel monster's world champion, older brother to Mokuba and he had feelings for Rebecca Carter.

So there you have it, Elaine got what was coming to her and Kaiba actually admitted to himself that he has feelings for Rebecca. That's new! It sucks that she's feeling completely different at the moment.

I guarantee that you guys are going to love next chappie.

Review, please!
