Hiya ppl! Here you go! A chapter with Kaiba in it! Hope you like it! I know it may be a little weird, but this chapter was supposed to be just a 'guest' chapter for him. Thanks for Laura and the rest who reviewed! Gives hugs and kisses to ya all!

I was thinking of making Charybdis get extremely jealous of Tea/Anzu and Yami, but decided to keep it for another time, for another chapter!

Chapter 12

Meeting Seto Kaiba

I have secretly sworn to the Gods of heaven that I mustn't tell what I had seen in the rooftops to Joey, Tristan, Ryou and Duke. Tea and Yugi had immediately broken off once I had screamed and grabbed me into the deepest, darkest corner of the rooftops before I could catch the rest's attention where they questioned me how much I had seen and know, but I laughed in their faces slyly, and replied, "All of it, muhahahahaha!!!" and I also added, "So... are you two going to start dating??"

Yami didn't seem to know what had happened either, he was busy inside the Millennium puzzle, camping out in his 'Soul Room'. I cocked my head to the side. "Soul Room??" I had asked. "What's that? Is that like a bedroom?" He looked thoughtfully out into the green grass filled with compost of leaves where we were having lunch under the tree by the football pitch. He looked back at me as I had just taken a huge ravenous bite out of my Big Softie rudely and I quickly covered my mayonnaised mouth and smiled nervously behind my palm. "You could call it that."

And immediately I had an impression in my head. A luscious rich red walled room about the size of my yard, with a king sized bed in the middle, the four-poster ones (ooh) with silky, transparent palish red curtains hanging down gracefully over the stands. There are elaborate gold chandeliers hanging down from the white ceiling and beside each side of the bed with gold candles in them, glowing their beautiful, warm and faint glow to bring up.... atmosphere... There is no windows, except the balcony with sliding doors and matching red curtains just opposite the bed, which overlooks something in the Millennium Puzzle or Yugi's brain. There is also a door leading to the en-suite bathroom!

I looked at the picture of the Millennium Puzzle in my hands, and frowned. I glanced at Yami, who seemed to be dozing lazily besde me with his eyes closed. There's no need of giving it to Yugi/Yami anymore, and I ripped it up in half quickly, got up from my seat, walked over from the tree and stuffed it in the schoolground litterbin.

oooooooo

I haven't really noticed the shady character who sits at the back of the classroom. I had only noticed, that the character who rarely says anything to me, let alone even glanced or brushed past me was Seto Kaiba. I overheard a couple of girls in my class looking through this teen girl magazine called 'Cosmo Girl' and giggling and whispering to each other as they pointed to the pages they were looking, huddled up together in their seats.

I hovered above them, trying to sneak into their privacy without them notcing and instantly they sensed my annoying presence and slammed their magazine shut, before turning to me. "Do you mind, Charybdis? We're trying to read here." She said 'politely'.

I frowned a little. "What are you reading about anyway??" I asked. They both looked at each other, before showing me the magazine. I had a look at the contents. "Seto Kaiba.... Bah!! Who wants to read about him??!!" I snorted as I looked at the interview/report about him. There was also a picture of him, wearing a long, black trench coat with white fasteners and buckles all around, with a black shirt underneath and black trousers. He had piercing blue eyes that made his short chestnut-brown hair stand out even more.

Only one thing popped in my mind about him: Geez, what a poser!

"What do you mean 'who wants to read about him?' Seto is the most hottest guy in the school!"

I raised an eyebrow. Well, he is Mokie's big brother, and the owner and president of Kaiba Corp; I guess the dude needed some respect. I shrugged hastily. "Well, he ain't that bad, but – "

I shut up as soon as I had felt an unwelcome presence of a person brush past me, and I glanced to the side from the corner of my eyes to see who had rudely just hit against my shoulder. Seto Kaiba. He marched over to his desk and sat down, didn't even bother to look up at us, the girls were gobsmacked and I was wondering what was his problem.

ooooooo

Mokie and I spent another afternoon hanging around in the Central Park, for about an hour or so, and then I had brought Mokie back to Kaiba Corp where his brother was expecting him to be.

"Hey, are there any bathrooms around?" I asked, as I cursed myself secretly for drinking so many strawberry slushies back at Delifrance.

Mokie smiled. "Yeah, there is, in Kaiba Corp." And he led me inside, showing his pass to the security guards and we both hopped into the elevator to the 3rd floor. "Don't worry, you're my guest here, Charybdis." He said reassuringly as I looked back at the guards.

I shrugged helplessly. "Um... okay then." This was the first time I had been inside Kaiba Corp. I looked around the huge marbled floors, admiring my reflection as we walked around; I saw doors leadings to offices and other rooms and also employees marching around. Finally we arrived at a lonely corridor after turning left and right many times. There were only two doors there, one with a pink female figure on it with a skirt, and one with the male – ah, you know!

"I'll wait for you outside." Mokie said when I pushed the door open and disappeared inside.

About a few minutes later, I re emerged from the bathroom and stepped back out. The corridor was empty. No one was there. A small howl from the air conditioner blew around me. "H-Hello??" I croaked nervously. "Mokie?? Are you there???"

No sign of anyone.

oooooooo

Oh no, no, no! I looked around my unfamiliar surroundings, trying to locate myself an exit but failing miserably when all I saw was more doors and empty corridors that looked the same. I walked around, hoping to at least see someone around and craned my head to the side and back scanning until something hit me hard in front when I had turned my whole body behind me to see if anyone came out from the doors I just passed. I yelped when I had bounced back and landed on the floor flat faced. Two strong hands lifted me up and dragged me towards the way where I was just walking. I shook my head vigorously to stop it from spinning in circles and looked up. "Who – Who are you??" I squeaked quietly.

The old man in the charcoal grey suit and sunglasses didn't seem to hear, continued to drag me along to the elevator after passing a donkey number of doors, and took out a small walkie-talkie from his pocket in his suit and pressed a button. "Sir, I've got the intruder, over."

There was a short muffled feedback, until a husky, masculine voice replied back. "Bring the intruder to me, Leo."

"Yes sir."

I gulped. The 'Leo' man pressed the button going to the top floor as soon as we entered the elevator and the doors closed. I didn't say anything during the 2-minute ride except shuffle in my shoes and listen to the faint music playing in the background.

DING!

He led me back out once the doors opened. We were on the top floor, where there were only a few doors but filled with people. I followed Leo past a corridor and into a clearing where there was a closed door and lots of reporters were standing in front either shouting for interviews or filming. Once Leo and I stepped into view, the paparazzi people dashed over in a matter of seconds and we were both engulfed in blinding flashes from their cameras and non-stop annoying gibbering.

"Mr Leo, as one of Mr Kaiba's security guards, can you – "Mr Leo pushed past the reporters still clutching my arm as we tried to make our way.

"Oh, and who is this young lady?" A reporter said when they finally noticed me.

"Perhaps Mr Kaiba's girlfriend?" Another shouted in the background.

"Young lady, what is your name???" And then I was crowded with reporters shoving their microphones at me, their notepads jabbing at my arms, and their cameras making me feel dizzy. I swear; a few reporters got my photo.

"That's quite enough!"

Everyone stopped, and turned to the direction of the new voice, including me. My eyes yearned and throbbed to look at my savoir but failed because all I could see was white and yellow, but I could make out a blurry vision of a tall male, with short brown hair wearing a white coat. He marched in front of me, ignoring the reporters who were trying to make pathetic attempts to ask him several questions and grabbed my arm from Leo fiercely, then walked back to his room with me following blindly with him. It was embarrassing when I smacked into his doorway when I was supposedly going into his door, and I was sure several paparazzi got that picture....

I couldn't believe it, Seto Kaiba was marching me to his office leaving Leo in charge of getting rid of the pesky paparazzi. He slammed the door shut angrily behind us and I made my way blindly again to a black chair opposite his desk.

"Move. That's my seat." He stated coldly.

I tried to peer at his glowering form above me, squeaked an apology and once again, blindly made my way to the chair, which I was supposed to be sitting in. He sat in his swivel chair facing me and I gulped once I couldn't see anymore white and yellow – but his intense, piercing blue eyes that felt like ice on my skin. I gulped once more, somehow that frown on his face made me think that this is something to do with me...

"How did you manage to penetrate my security?" He asked sternly.

I stammered. "Uh... uh.... Mokie brought me in." I replied weakly.

He didn't even twitch, except stare.

Stare.

Stare.

Stare at me!

I stared back at him.

He didn't stop staring at me

My lower lip trembled and I looked down at my lap where my fingers lay all sweaty and clammy.

He still didn't stop staring except narrow his eyes at me, and finally moved his fingers from his documents in front of him to the buzzer on the phone that lay beside his laptop.

"Yes sir?" it was Leo.

"Are all the reporters gone?"

"Yes, sir, all of them have left."

"Good, find Mokuba, and bring him to me."

"Very well then, sir."

He let go of the buzzer and then focused back on me. "So you're that 'friend' Mokuba keeps telling me about. Charybdis."

I blinked blankly at him. "Uh.... Yeah.... Mokuba's told me a lot about you too.... S - I mean um... Mr – "

"Kaiba." He interrupted.

"Uh... yes, Mr Kaiba. It's a pleasure to finally to meet you." And I stuck my hand out to him across the desk. He glared at me and I instinctively pulled back.

He didn't budge, and thankfully there was a loud knocking on the door and Mr Kaiba averted his scary gaze to the door from me. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even though it seemed as if we were having a staring contest, my heart pounded against my rib cage like hell. "Come in." He said calmly.

Leo opened the door, with Mokuba coming in first. He sauntered over to my side and smiled at me. "Seto, I brought Charybdis here, it's not her fault. I'm sorry if I caused you any problems," I smiled back at Mokie reassuringly.

"Did I say whose fault this was?" Mr Kaiba said. "Mokuba, please don't bring any visitors here anymore without my permission, do you understand?"

Mokuba nodded meekly. "Yes Seto."

Mr Kaiba straightened up and pointed at me. "And you. I don't allow anyone to come in and waltz around except from employees."

I blinked again, and Mokie dragged me back out. "I'll just take Charybdis back outside, Seto."

"No, Mokuba, you stay here. Leo will escort her away." Mokie looked at me and sat on the seat while Leo led me out. "Please follow me." He said as he walked back towards the elevator. When I shut the door behind me, I could hear Mr Kaiba talking again. "Mokuba, I don't want you to be friends with that girl,"

"But why, big brother??" I heard Mokuba ask.

"She is nothing but a troublemaker. She is in my school and I have seen her – "

That was it. My face cracked with fury and I pushed the door back open. Seto Kaiba glared at me again. "I thought I told Leo to take you away."

"He was, but until I overheard your conversation I just had to come back!" I said. I glanced at Mokuba who was wide-eyed.

"This is between me and my little brother and none of your concern." He replied back, still keeping his 'calm look'.

"I don't care, if you are Mokuba's big brother, why don't you at least give him some respect he deserves and give him free rights??" I demanded angrily.

He raised an eyebrow to me. "Get out."

Mokuba leapt off his seat and ran to my side. "Charybdis, stop saying that!" he mouthed. "I'm okay, really!"

"But – "

"Just go, I'll meet you outside Kaiba Corp." He whispered to me. I nodded helplessly, giving one of my famous death glares to Seto Kaiba before storming back out and slamming the door.

oooooooo

"Charybdis!" Mokuba shouted, as he ran towards me from the entrance. I paused in my tracks when I noticed that I had sauntered over to Kaiba car park as soon as I heard his voice and looked up.

"Mokie!" I cried when he stopped in front of me. "So, how'd it go?"

"Umm.... Seto's forbid me to see you again, I'm sorry, but we can still hang around at the park secretly sometimes. I'm sorry about my big brother, he's had a really hard day and – "

I raised my hand up to silence him. "There's no need for you to apologise. I'm sorry for bursting in like that, I was just so angry when he called me a troublemaker and when he said that he didn't want you to be my friend."

"We are still friends, right?" He asked.

"Sure." I replied cheerfully.

The doors to the carp park opened from the side, just opposite from where we were standing and Kaiba appeared, along with Leo and other bodyguards. He signalled the others to stay and walked up to us. "Mokuba, are you coming?" He asked, ignoring me as if I wasn't even standing in front of him – which I was.

Mokuba nodded, then looked back at me and I smiled back at him. He ran over to the bodyguards, and then Kaiba focused back on me. "You are not to come for Mokuba any longer."

I glared at him, noticing how tall he was. His shadow covered my whole body, and he leered at me downwards while I stared at him with my head facing upwards and it was beginning to make my neck get sore. "I understand, but I wanna tell you something. You are Mokuba's older sibling, but that doesn't give you the right to tell him which people he wants to be friends with."

He glared back at me. "I care for Mokuba."

"Yeah right." I snorted, looking to the side with my arms crossed, and then suddenly he grabbed my hand out and grabbed my chin, tilting my face up to make me look at him.

"You have quite a mouth there." He smirked widely, despicably and evilly as he concentrated on my features.

"I know I do." I retorted back at him, grinning back at him.

He let go of my chin and hand roughly and marched back over, where a huge, posh looking black car pulled up and he vanished inside. The car sped past me; I spotted Mokuba waving to me secretly and Kaiba still smirking irritably. I glared back at him from my spot, and watched the car zoom out from view.

oooooooo

The next morning, as soon as I had step foot into the classroom, just one toe, everyone stopped in their tracks and stared at me. I looked back at them as I made my way to my seat. "Um... lovely morning, isn't it?" I asked nervously when they still didn't stop looking at me. I sent them a death glare this time, and they turned back to their normal actions, and whispering things.

A bunch of female students rushed over to me quickly, all smiling at me.

"When did you two start dating?"

Huh?

"Why didn't you tell us before??"

What?

"I can't believe you're dating 'him'!"

Who?

"You two hardly speak in class!"

"What are you all talking about?? I'm not dating anyone!" I replied.

"Very funny, Charybdis, we – "

"GURLIE!!!" I turned my attention to Joey and Yugi, who were already in the classroom. "Morning guys!" I said cheerfully when I shooed the girls away and took my seat in front of them. I dropped my happy smile when they didn't return anything back to me. I raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you?"

"What is the meaning of dis, Gurlie??!!" Joey yelled and he slammed something into my face and it slid down into my hands. I blinked in surprise, then glared at him. "What's the big idea??? What happened??!!" I barked at him.

His face was red with fury, and steam was pouring out from his ears. I glanced at Yugi who had a look of worry and content. "Joey, calm down." He said and Joey's face went rather pink. Yugi looked back at me. "Take a look yourself, Charybdis."

I looked at the magazine that lay in my arms. I stared, wide eyed and screamed loudly that the whole classroom of students looked at me. I picked the magazine up roughly and studied the writing carefully.

Seto Kaiba and his secret lover – revealed!

There was a picture Kaiba and I from yesterday's encounter, of me! ME ME ME!!! I screamed again.

"Dere's more in the next page." Joey fumed as he crossed his arms.

I flipped over, almost ripping the magazine in half when I glanced at the report.

It was revealed yesterday that Seto Kaiba had a secret lover, whose identity still remains unknown...

Then there was another picture, with Kaiba holding my arm – but it looked as if he was doing it in an affectionate way in the picture!! I can't believe this!! I screamed again, and was going to tear the magazine up, but Yugi stopped me before I could.

Flashback

Everyone stopped, and turned to the direction of the new voice, including me. My eyes yearned and throbbed to look at my savoir but failed because all I could see was white and yellow, but I could make out a blurry vision of a tall male, with short brown hair wearing a white coat. He marched in front of me, ignoring the reporters who were trying to make pathetic attempts to ask him several questions and grabbed my arm from Leo fiercely, then walked back to his room with me following blindly with him. It was embarrassing when I smacked into his doorway when I was supposedly going into his door, and I was sure several paparazzi got that picture....

Flashback Ends

"THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!" I screamed desperately.

"Well about the front cover??!!" Joey shouted back at me, as he took the magazine off me and pointed to the picture of Kaiba and I back at the car park.

Flashback

He glared back at me. "I care for Mokuba."

"Yeah right." I snorted, looking to the side with my arms crossed, and then suddenly he grabbed my hand out and grabbed my chin, tilting my face up to make me look at him.

"You have quite a mouth there." He smirked widely, despicably and evilly as he concentrated on my features.

"I know I do." I retorted back at him, grinning back at him.

Flashback Ends

"I've been framed!!" I yelled hopelessly toYugi. He looked at Joey again, quite unsure of what to do.

"What do ya mean 'You've been framed?' Look at da picture! It's clearly YOU and KAIBA there on that picutre!!" Joey yelled back at me.

Everyone was staring at us two now, and Yugi tugged on Joey's sleeve. "Joey, stop it. I believe Charybdis." He said.

"Thank you!!" I replied sarcastically. I glared back at Joey. "Why don't you believe me?! Is it because you and Kaiba are enemies and you don't like it if – "

"Shuddup! I can't believe you've been double –crossing us the whole time!"

A vein popped in my head. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE BEEN DOUBLE CROSSING YOU??????!!!!! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING THIS!!! YOU BIG, PIG HEADED JERK!!!" I screamed in his face, before stomping back out of the classroom. My face was buring red fiercely, as I felt embarrassment and humiliation when the whole class was continueing to stare at us both in conflict.

I stomped back out of the classroom, not even looking up to see where I was going but trying to ignore the whispers that were coming up from students again wherever I went. I bumped into something, and I looked up fiercely. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!"

I shut up as soon as I saw him towering over me. "We need to talk." He simply said, and dragged me into a lonely corridor. He let go of my arm as soon as we were away from civilisation and stood away from each other. I crossed my arms angrily and didn't even look at him. He raised his hand up, and I could see from the corner of my eyes that he had a copy of the magazine too. "Read this yet?" He asked.

I nodded briefly. "Bunch of lying pigs...." I mumbled.

"This is going to influence on my company and I can't have that, so I declare that we either announce our 'break up' to the public." Kaiba said as he glanced at me.

I leapt and turned to him. "What?? No way!! I can't just 'break up' with you! I have a title too! And we're not even a couple!!" I shouted.

"Your title isn't as important as mine, so you'll be doing a favour to both of us." He replied calmly. "And convincing people that we are definitely not a couple is difficult, Wheeler didn't seem to take it very well when he found out."

"I – " I said, but then I stopped, thinking back of the arguement that just happened several minutes ago. My anger welled back inside me, wanting to erupt in a grouchy manner and I felt like punching at the wall behind me. I inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm myself.

"Or else, we'll announce to the public that we are a couple and get married."

I blew it. "WHAT???????!!!!!!!! ARE YOU CRAZY???????!!!!!!!!" Just thinking of getting married to Seto Kaiba just made me feel sick. I couldn't ever love this arrogant pig! Immediately a thought of Kaiba and I in a church dressed in wedding outfits and people sitting on the pews around us watching him putting a ring on my finger just popped up in my mind and I felt disgusted

"So, what'll it be; the break up, or marriage proposal?"

I didn't say anything.
