Iggy

Akira Tosiyama

Now, to find out what Iggy will do next!

I still don't own any of the stuff mentioned in last chapter's disclaimer.

I'm just going to describe stuff, because it's fun. Just because Iggy can't see doesn't mean I have to not describe stuff, right?

Chapter 14

After much thought, Iggy decided to go to see what Kaiba's business was like. He went to the front of the house and found a butler. "Can someone drive me to where Kaiba works?"

The butler promptly called Roland, the head butler.

"Come with me."

Roland led Iggy to a limo and drove him to Kaiba Corp.'s main office. Roland took him up to the front doors.

After thanking Roland, Iggy walked through the front doors, preparing his ears to be assaulted by a multitude of voices. Surprisingly, there was only one.

"Yes, Hiroyuki-san. Yes. Goodbye."

Iggy heard a click and the skritching of pencil on paper.

"Akira? Is that you?"

"Oh! Iggy! I didn't even see you! Why are you here?"

"I was bored and wanted to know where Kaiba worked."

"Oh. Well, Seto's in a meeting right now, but I could take you on a tour, if you wanted."

"Sure. Are you the only secretary?"

Akira laughed. "No. I'm just Seto's personal secretary and the official greeter person. The rest of the secretaries are in another room. Now, for the tour, we should probably start at the top and work our way down."

"Is it ok for you to leave your desk?"

"Yeah, I just need to tell Chiko-chan that she needs to take my place for a while."

Akira pressed a button and a girl came over. She explained that she was taking a break and would be back in about half an hour.

"Ok, Iggy, right over here to the elevator." She pushed the button for floor 37, the top floor.

As they were going up, Akira chatted with Iggy, just like she would if he could see. She didn't stop and apologize for saying the word "see" or do anything to show that she even cared whether he was blind or not.

I wish the flock could talk to me like this. Only four people have ever talked to me like this: Akira, Bakura, Kaiba, and Katie. I need to write to Katie…

Ding.

"Well, here we are. Top floor, and as George, the elevator boy would say if he were here, "Top floor! President's office, Vice President's office, and women's apparel. Oops! No women's apparel here! Sorry about that!" He thinks it's the funniest joke, and he says it every time anyone comes up here. Anyway, this is where Seto's office is, and Mokuba's too."

They stepped into a richly carpeted hallway. There were only two doors. Each had a nameplate on it. Akira took Iggy into the office of Seto Kaiba.

"Well, there's not much in here. Just a sofa, a TV, a rarely used refrigerator, an often used coffee maker, his desk, and his office chair. Oh, and under his desk is his guitar."

"Kaiba plays guitar?"

"Bass, actually. He walked into a music store last year and fell in love with a bass. Then he just taught himself."

Akira took Iggy to Mokuba's office next. It was the exact opposite of Seto's.

"Oh, hey Akira! Hey Iggy!" Mokuba chirped.

"Hey Mokie, are you ever going to clean this place?"

"It is clean!" the boy said indignantly.

Akira looked pointedly around at the candy wrappers, Gameboy games, pizza boxes, and fast food bags that lay everywhere. Not to mention the huge mess of folders on his desk. "This is clean?" she said, raising an eyebrow.

"I know where everything is!"

Akira sighed.

"Anyway, why are you guys here?" Mokuba asked curiously.

"Iggy wanted to find out where we worked."

"Oh. Well, sorry to push you guys out so fast, but I'm late for a meeting."

"You mean the one that started half an hour ago?" Akira asked, shaking her head.

"Erm… yeah."He said sheepishly.

"Ok, well get going!"

They walked into the hall and got in the elevator.

"Which floor is the meeting on again, Akira?"

"25."

Mokuba pushed the button for 25.

"Well, the next fifteen floors are meeting rooms. We don't need to go to any of those." Akira told Iggy.

"Ok."

After Mokuba got off, Iggy and Akira went to floor 22. "This is where the medical center is, in case anyone has a heart attack during a meeting. This is also where anyone at the mansion comes if they have any problems. The mansion is just down the street, by the way."

They walked into the medical center, where there were some very bored looking doctors. They had no one with any problems, hence the boredom.

"Hey Dr. Jones, this is Iggy. He and his friends are staying at the mansion for a while."

One of the doctors looked up from his game of poker and nodded.

"And… are you gambling?"

The doctors hurriedly shoved the cards into their pockets. "N-no ma'am."

"What were you doing then?"

"Uh… playing Go Fish?"

She looked at them suspiciously. "Just don't let Seto catch you."

"Thank you ma'am." The doctors said, relieved.

"Ok, Iggy, next floor."

They stepped back into the elevator and headed to the 21st floor.

"The next six floors are secretarial. This is where all the other secretaries are."

They stepped out and were assaulted by noise.

"Yes, please hold."

"Mr. Kaiba is in a meeting…"

"I'm sorry, the Duel Disk does not come in pink, but you can place a special order by…"

Iggy covered his ears and Akira led him back to the elevator.

"Sorry, it's always kind of loud. Anyway, the next ten floors are developing, product testing, and brainstorming. Every so often Seto goes to these floors to see what they've come up with. On those days, people usually get fired."

After quick tours of these floors, they headed to the fifth floor, the cafeteria.

"You hungry? It's about lunchtime, let's get something to eat."

They ate lunch, after choosing from the wide variety of the cafeteria.

"Well, the next floors are Seto's private workshops, so we can't go in there. And we're back to the first floor!"

"Thanks for the tour."

"No problem! Stop by anytime!"

Akira called Roland and had him take Iggy back to the mansion.

When he got back, Max jumped on him. "Where have you been! We were so worried! We thought an Eraser had you! Never do that again!"

Iggy shook her off angrily. "I was fine, Max. I just went to the Kaiba Corp. tower and I was with someone the whole time. I can take care of myself, believe it or not." He glared in her general direction.

Then he stomped up to his room.
