Chapter Fourteen: Headlines
-- 2/7/07
'A new member welcomed to the Kaiba family.' Was one of many headlines in the various newspapers.
Blakeston InCorp held companies all over the world. The one place the owner wanted to be was Domino City. So as he sat in his overly stuff chair, he examed the papers. "Hm this is interesting."
One of the secretaries opened his door. His niece and nephew walked in.
"They signed the documents this morning. The conversion went well."
"For once." Gina, the niece, added with sarcasm.
Jonus Blakeston looked up. "Tell me Nate, how much did they provide."
The siblings looked at one another. Their uncle was being very cool with his emotions. "Nine million, give or take some."
"Not bad. Lower then our last take over, but still not bad." He continued to look at the papers. "Have you read these." It was a rhetorical question but Nate and Gina answered with a shake of their heads. "I think we should head to Domino City." He got up and looked out one of the big windows. "The Walters thing was faltered, a failured investment even." Blakeston was talking more to himself. "We should have gotten it." His eyes narrowed. "I want you to read some of those newspapers that are on the desk. Then I want you to report back to me with what you think."
Seto was walking Nora's room, quietly, with her in his arms. She had waken fifteen minutes before. Now Seto held the near empty bottle, continuing to feed her.
Claire walked in, yawning. "I can take her if you'd like. You have an early morning." She wrapped her white silk rob around her, tieing the sash.
"No, that's alright. I'm not going to go to work for a while. I'd like to help around here for a while before going back." His eyes gazed Claire as she walked over to him, wrapping her arms around the both of them. "Afterall, there's enough money that no of us would really have to work for the rest of our lives."
Claire nodded. "Her eyes are like yours. There also like my mother's."
"There like my mother's also." Seto stated. "It's one of the things I remember about her."
Nora's eyes blinked slowly before they closed, falling to sleep almost instantly. "Come on. We should get some sleep while she's out herself."
"I don't care." Mr. J Blakeston was half yelling to the receiver. "The restrictions have been off for a couple of years. I don't see a problem with returning to Japan." He listened with irritation to the person on the other end. "Yea yea yea. It was a bad publicity scene, but it's over. It's been over." He was interupted but the talker. "Fine, but I'm still going. I'd like to see the face of the great Seto Kaiba when I tell him that Blakeston InCorp is going to take over his company." A smile broke as he heard want he wanted. Agreement praises from the other end. "Good then. It's settled."
"What's settled?" Gina asked.
Jonus looked at his niece and nephew. "I'll talk to you later. Alright bye."
Nate and Gina sat. "It was interesting to read." Nate began. "But I really don't understand why it's important. So Claire married."
"She married a Corporate owner. It's was in her blood, no doubt." Jonus was excited. "We must strike now while the force of Kaiba Corp is weakened. Once we've taken it over, then we can leave peacefully." He stood and walked over to the elevator, pressing the 'up' button. "We leave tomorrow for Domino City. Pack well, I don't plan to leave there for a while."
Gina glanced at her brother once their uncle had left. "Do you think he is serious?"
Sighing, Nate nodded. "Unfortunitely."
