Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and have anything related in the making. I
don't own any characters. The original character that I own is Kairi and
her parents....... Ok maybe the name has been in my other fictions and
isn't that original, but it's hard for me to think of a Japanese names and
I like that one =)

Chapter 5
Seto and Mokuba's classmate stepped onto the doorstep of the Shiratori mansion. A man in a black uniform opened the door and recognized Seto immediately.
"Master Kaiba, Please come in" He bowed politely.
Seto stepped in the mansion along with Mokuba's classmate. Once she is inside she hurriedly said her thank you to Kaiba and runs up the stairs.
"Ah....... Mr. Kaiba........ I'm so glad you showed up" Akahito came in from the kitchen.
"Can we get this over with so I can leave?" Seto looked around the mansion.
"First, you must taste my beloved wife's cooking" Shiratori pointed to a door that led to the dining room.
Seto followed him into the dining room, the table was beautifully settled. Akahito motioned him to take a seat.
"Please tell my daughter our guest as arrived and it would be a pleasure if she can join us for dinner today and the kids can eat in the kitchen for today, the cook will prepare their favorites" Akahito spoke to one of the servants.
"Yes Master Shiratori" He bowed as he exited the room.
Seto took a seat and waited.
"Mr. Kaiba, where shall we start?" Akahito sat down at the head of the table.
"I have absolutely no intention of having any interest in your company" Seto started out.
"Mr. Kaiba, welcome to our home, I have personally prepare everything for our dinner this evening" Akahito's wife interrupted the two little boys conversation. She sat down in the seat next to her husband.
"Good, everyone is here except for our daughter" Akahito said wondering what is taking her so long. As if on cue they heard light footstep approaching the door. The door gently swung open to reveal a rare diamond in Seto's eyes.
"Good timing" Akahito smiled, as he turned to see Kaiba's face of shock he was sent into confusion.
The daughter of the Shiratori's took the seat next to Kaiba. Seto was amazed to see that she of all people was next to him.
"Mr. Kaiba, I would like you to meet my wonderful daughter...... Kairi" Akahito's wife spoke.
"Kaiba" Her voice snapped Seto back into reality.
"Kairi" Seto returned.
"I see that you two have already met?" Akahito bounced his eyes back and forth to see tension from both sides.
The servant came into the dining room and filled their cups water and placed their beginning plate in front of them.
"We go to the same school" Kairi answered.
As the dinner continued, Akahito talked about his company and what he wanted Kaiba's company for. Seto didn't hear one word he spoke, as his concentration was on the lady besides him.
"Kaiba, What do you say?" Akahito asking him what he thinks of his plans. The dinner was almost over; the desert plate was set out in front of them.
"I think I still have no interest in your company" Seto answered.
"Mr. Shiratori" Kairi spoke the first time during dinner.
"Yes?" Akahito attention moved.
"It's getting late; may I be excuse to walk the children back to the orphanage?" Kairi asked.
"Yes" Akahito answer and smiled.
"Thank You" Kairi got up and headed towards the kitchen as where all the kids were, including Mokuba's classmate Seto drove here.
"She is you're daughter?" Seto asked when she disappeared from the room.
"While yes" Mrs. Shiratori spoke.
"She called you Mr. Shiratori" Seto looked at Akahito.
"She always has" Akahito replied.
"Afraid I am barren, she was adopted at age twelve" Mrs. Shiratori confessed.
"I'm also afraid that she has a horrible past" Akahito added.
"Is that so?" Seto curiously wanted to know.
"Her mother and father are still alive, well and healthy" Mrs. Shiratori started out.
"You said she was adopted" Seto reclaimed.
"She is, her mother and father had her and another at a very young age. They played favoritism towards the other child. Soon Kairi became nothing but a servant to them, pushed and shoved around like she was never their own child" Akahito continued.
"Go on" Seto persuaded.
"Till the day she became ill and proved no longer useful to her mother and father, she was kicked out and left behind to die." Mrs. Shiratori started to water up.
"Luckily, she was found by an orphanage and she was given a home. She was ten at the time; spend two years in that orphanage until we came and adopted her." Akahito took a slip of his water.
"It was surprising that no one else had gotten to her first, her mind is like none other and her heart is as pure as gold" Mrs. Shiratori smiled at the though of her daughter.
"She spends most of her time helping kids and a near by orphanage" Akahito added.
"Though she refuses to call his mother and father, we respect her wishes. Her past is devastating and a rude awakening for some; she is still a very special and amazing girl" Mrs. Shiratori concluded.
"It seems like you have taken more interests in my daughter than my company Mr. Kaiba" Akahito smiled. "I guess you'll have to be seeing more of me"
"I wouldn't count on that" Seto stood up.
"Kairi Kaiba, doesn't sound bad" Akahito teased.
"It would be nice to hear something following her first name" Mrs. Shiratori stated.
"What do you mean?" Seto was about to leave, but this struck him back down.
"She doesn't take on our family name because she said her biological family is still alive. She doesn't keep her family name because she is no longer part of that family" Akahito explained.
"I understand" Seto felt sorry for Kairi and knew they connected in more than one way.
"I guess I'll be seeing more of you Seto Kaiba" Akahito said as Seto walked out the door with hands in his pockets.
