"Send him up. I'm curious to see what the puppy-dog has to say." Seto smiled his usual cold smile and sat up tall to wait for Joey. As he walked in, Joey had a look of disgust in his eyes.
"Puppy-dog?" Joey sat in a chair on the other side of Seto's desk.
Seto frowned, but his eyes were still laughing. "Have you no manners? I did not say you could sit."
Joey leapt to his feet, half because he was not expecting that, half because he did not want to make his possible source of money angry. "Sorry 'bout that."
Seto's smile returned. "It's alright, you may sit."
Joey sat awkwardly. "So, uh... Kaiba... What have you been up to, huh?"
Seto's frown reappeared, and Joey could tell he was confused as they were both searching each other's eyes. "Why do you care?"
Joey's eyes fell to the floor. "Well, I dunno. I was just trying to have some manners."
"I've trained my dog well."
"Listen, Kaiba, I didn't come here to be picked on, okay? I have a reason for being here."
"Do you?" Seto again smiled as he humored himself. "So the truth comes out - All too easily. But, you were saying something?"
"Yeah, I was, thanks." Kaiba's smile widened. "Listen... I think I might as well leave right now, but uh... I'm a little short on cash..." Seto began to laugh quietly. Joey sweatdropped. "Uh..."
"I should have figured that would be the only reason you'd drop by for a visit."
"I wouldn't even, but I'm kinda in a jam... See... I made a promise to take Serenity to see the ocean when I was little. Now that we're back togetha again, I hafta make good on my promise to her. I figured out the best way would be to take a tour bus and get other people, so then maybe I'd even make a little pocket change to boot, but it turns out a bus costs like... six thou, and I've got kaput."
Seto, who had been courteously listening, then smiled again. This seemed to be a good source of entertainment. "I see... o who's this Serenity? An old girlfriend or something?"
"Serenity's my sista."
Seto's smile faded and the jovial look in his eyes disappeared. "Oh, I didn't know..."
"I never told you."
"I guess... Sorry."
"Man, don't get all sentimental an crap, I came 'cause I wanted an answer."
"How about this... I'll lend you money-"
"Man! I knew it! I guess I'll get outta your- Wait... You will?"
Seto nodded. "Mokuba needs a little hands-on experience taking care of Kaiba Corps. anyway."
"Wow... Thanks, man!" Joey got up and extended his hand in gratitude.
"There's a catch."
Joey facefaulted. "I had to know..."
"I can't just hand out money, you know. I mean, what happens if you don't make enough to pay me back on your little expedition?"
"C'mon, man, I swear it! Really!"
"If I believed every guy that came to my office and said they wanted to borrow money and swore they'd pay me back, Kaiba Corp. would be broke. So instead, I have a proposition for you."
"I don't like the sound of that."
"In exchange for my hospitality, any man with a conscious would offer to give me a ticket or reservation. And I need collateral. That's not too much to ask, now, is it?"
"That depends on what ya mean by collateral."
"Well, if you can't pay me back with money at the end of your trip, you'll have to pay me back by working."
"Work? What kind of work?"
"You'd take a job here at Kaiba Corp. Of course, you'd start at the bottom like any other employee, and if I like your work, you'll be promoted."
"What's the bottom?"
"For a puppy-dog like you? Probably janitorial work."
"JANI-" Joey stopped for a moment as he became aware of his surroundings. "-Janitorial work? Like cleanin' toilets an' that kind of crap?"
"If we're in need of it."
Joey sighed heavily and buried his face in his hands. On one hand he had to agree to any terms set by Seto Kaiba for the promise he'd made to his sister, and on the other hand, he couldn't let him walk all over him like this. But then, that was only a condition.
Joey looked up at Seto Kaiba again and sighed as he said, "I'll do it."
Seto smiled maniacally.
Nevamind, the chappie's done. Sorry about that. ^.^ Oh well, ne? Hope you like it! And, as usual, all questions, comments, suggestions, and flames are welcome/expected/whatever. If you want, you can comment or flame or whatever by e-mail (rs_dtt@hotmail.com)
