Chapter V: Wednesday, is this the end?
Nikko woke up to the sound of her alarm clock; she turned it off and looked at it, "7 am, a lot better than a couple of day ago." She got up and went to take a shower; after she was finished with getting dressed she looked at the files on her desk.
She picked them up and put them in her bag, "I wouldn't want to forget these or else I'll have lord Kaiba on my back again." She chucked to herself as she finished packing her bag.
She walked towards her dresser and picked up her hairbrush, while she brushed her hair she thought of what happened yesterday and after it all how Kaiba was acting so concerned about her. She looked at the handkerchief that Kaiba gave her to dry her tears, 'I probably should return this back to him today.'
Nikko also thought of why her friends hardly talked to her all day, 'They probably lost interest in me. That's ok it's not like I'm not used to it, I had hardly any friends at all at my old school. I just thought that they might be different and all, but I guess I was wrong.' She picked up her bag and left.
Nikko walked out of the house feeling a cold wind blowing against her, "I better get to the bus stop or I probably be suspended if I'm late this time." She put on her jacket and walked down the street.
Nikko was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice a familiar limo pass by and stop right beside her. The window of the limo rolled down and the person inside called out, "Can I give you a ride?"
Nikko snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of the voice, looked around and saw the familiar limo with a familiar person inside, "Kaiba! You scared the hell out of me!!!!" Nikko scolded as she walked towards the limo and opened the door to get it.
Kaiba looked at her while the limo drove off, "I'm sorry, but I didn't want you to be late again."
Nikko smirked at Kaiba's comment, "I didn't know the almighty Kaiba Seto cared if I was late or not?"
Kaiba looked at her not amused by her comment, "I just didn't want you to get suspended."
Nikko was going to say something when she noticed a kid with black hair watching their conversation quietly, "Hello Mokuba! How was school?"
Mokuba looked at her with excitement, "It was great!! In science class we got to mix vinegar and baking soda together, it foamed out of the cup and went all over the table!! We are also going to go to the planetarium next week!! We get to learn about space! I can't wait!"
Nikko smiled at Mokuba enjoying his excitement, "Yeah it sounds like fun! I hope you have a good time."
Mokuba looked at Nikko and smiled a cute smile, which no one in the world could not help but smile back, "I'm so glad to see you again Nikko. I'll tell you about the Planetarium next week!" He grabbed his bag, as he was about to leave the limo.
Nikko tried to hide the sad look on her face, "I'm sorry Mokuba, but I don't think I will see you next week."
Mokuba tried to hide the sad look as he left the limo, "Oh, well I hope to see you sometime again. See you after school nii-sama" He closed the door and left.
Kaiba after waving good-bye to Mokuba, looked at her, "I'm surprised how Mokuba likes you so much, you seem to take an interest in him."
Nikko looked at Kaiba solemnly and replied back, "He's just the type of kid that should always be happy and never know any sadness, he's just too good for that." She closed her eyes and shifted her gaze towards the window.
Kaiba wondered what she meant by that comment, but in a way he understood her, he felt like that too sometimes. He changed the subject, "The work we did after school was not bad I'm quite surprised how far we got ahead. At lest we don't have to worry about being behind in our work when we have detention on Thursday."
Nikko turned her gaze from the window and looked at him and smiled, "Yeah were almost ready to go in to that meeting on Friday and show our presentation."
Kaiba looked at her seriously, " I don't know if you are ready for such a thing like that. The board is pretty harsh and with your lack of knowledge in Duel Monsters they probably won't be easy with you."
Nikko looked at Kaiba wondering what he meant, "Do you think I'm dumb? I can handle myself and even if I don't know how to play Duel Monsters it doesn't matter, because you'll be presenting the Duel Monsters background."
Kaiba crossed his arms and looked at her sternly, "They still might not be easy on you and I don't think you could handle it. Trust me I've dealt with these men before their nothing but underhanded snakes. That's why I thank you for your help but on Friday I'll go and do the presentation on my own."
Nikko's green eye blazed in anger and she yelled at Kaiba, "Listen here Kaiba!!! It's not only your presentation it's mine too! When you asked me to help you, it made it mine too, so you just can't tell me that you don't need me anymore, I-"
Kaiba shouted back interrupting her, "Listen here!!!! You don't have to do this anymore!! If you try to undermine me it will be a big mistake on your part!!! That's why I can't let you be apart of this anymore!"
Nikko looked at him with a questioned look and continued to yell back, "Undermined you? Wait, I don't think this has anything to do with Duel Monsters at all; it has to do about what happened in your office yesterday!! Well listen here Kaiba Seto; I don't need you to take care of me!!! I am just fine!!"
Kaiba replied back with a commanded in his voice, "I told you that you don't have to bother anymore. You should be happy, I always knew you didn't like working with me, so after this day you won't have to bother with me anymore."
Nikko lost her temper and cried, "Stop this limo!!! Stop it now!!!!"
Kaiba wondered why she was so upset, "Why? I-"
Kaiba was cut off by Nikko's cry, "Just stop this damn limo now!!!"
Kaiba looked at Nikko, not know what's going on pushed a button on his side that lets him talk to the limo driver upfront, "Stop the limo."
The limo driver replied back, "Yes Kaiba-sama."
The limo stopped and Nikko stepped out of it, but just before she left down the street Kaiba stepped out of the limo, grabbed Nikko's her arm and looked at her seriously, "What's wrong? Why is this making you so upset? It's for your own good you know."
Nikko refused to look at him directly and replied sadly, "How do you know what's good for me Kaiba? You know nothing about me, you can't even say my name." Nikko pulled her arm out of Kaiba's grip, threw the handkerchief on the ground, turned away and walked down the street, which wasn't that far from the school.
Kaiba picked up the handkerchief and got back into the limo while the memory of what she said flashed in to his mind, "She's right, I don't really know her. What am I saying? It doesn't matter, all that matter's is that she's out of my life, and I'm out of hers." He said the last part quietly as he looked at the handkerchief sadly and the limo started up heading to the school, passing Nikko by.
School went by very slowly and during that time neither Kaiba nor Nikko said any word to each other, they once passed each other by but they only looked the other direction not caring about anything at all.
Yugi and the rest noticed this, but when they tried to ask Nikko about it at lunch she left them without a word and went to the computer room to work. They tried during class to get her to talk to them, but she refused to even listen, eventually they gave up at the end of the day and planned to try again tomorrow.
Kaiba after school went to pick up Mokuba like he usually does and when Mokuba got into the limo he saw a disturbed look on his older brothers face.
Mokuba looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, nii-sama?"
Kaiba looked at him and tried to put on the best smile as possible, "Nothing Mokuba, I was just deep in thought."
The fake smile did not betray Mokuba, "Did something happen? Did something happen between you and Nikko?"
Kaiba was surprised on how accurate his brother was, but then he could never really hide anything from him, "You know me too well Mokuba." He ruffled his black hair.
Mokuba looked up at him, "Then I'm right. What happened?"
Kaiba knew that this would be impossible to keep a secret from Mokuba, so he decided to tell him everything what happened.
Mokuba looked at his brother sadly after he heard everything, "That's sad nii-sama. I just want to know, why you said those things? Did it have to do with want happened in the office?"
Kaiba looked Mokuba seriously, "I did it for her sake, and I can handle those tyrants. I don't see how she should be mad, I thought she would relived."
Mokuba shook his head, "I may be younger, but I can understand why. Even though they scared her she didn't want to give up, she believes in you project. It means she believes in you."
Kaiba looked awe stricken and thought, 'She didn't want to give up, she wanted to fight no matter how much it hurt her, and I had to be a jerk and deny her belief's. I just didn't know.'
Kaiba's phone rang and he answered, "Moshi, Moshi, Kaiba Seto."
Then voice on the other line said, "Kaiba-sama, I have your two cars that you sent over for repairs finished and waiting for you to take home, so whenever your ready come and pick them up today."
An idea just streaked into Kaiba's mind, "Yosh! I will get them picked soon, ja." He clicked off the phone and put it back in his pocket, while a coy smirk gleamed on his face.
Mokuba looked at his brother wondering what he was thinking, 'I'd know that look anywhere! Nii-sama has a plan of some sort, I wish I knew it.'
Kaiba pressed the button that allowed him to talk to the driver and said, "Driver could you please pick up my car later, I will be taking the other car in the shop."
Mokuba then looked at his brother even more shocked, "What are you thinking nii-sama? That car is Nikko's car!"
Kaiba grinned at Mokuba maliciously, "I know, I want to take her car."
Mokuba looked at his bother confused, "What do you plan to do?"
Kaiba patted him on the head and smiled, "I don't know, let's just say I'm playing this one by ear." He looked at the handkerchief before stuffing it back into his pocket.
To Be Continued.
This chapter I had half done before my last one (I have certain reason due to my absent-mindedness), but it took awhile for me to revise it. Please Read & Review!!!
