Chapter 4: Downward spiral
They all seemed to be worried about one person for the rest of the week. Seto however knew what was wrong, running the company, taking care of her fathers arangements, medical problems, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and the members of KaibaCorp weren't helping. He would go to her house and talk to her after school. Perhaps he could convince her to sign it over to him and just him, not those other greedy jerks.

'They're actually worried about me? ' She seemed stunned at this, they had stayed beside her all day. She walked towards her home, she found it easier to move to the inland than to have to fly to school all day. Suddenly two voices called behind her "Danielle wait up!" They both called the polite british accent of Ryou and Maliks smooth voice were heard mixing as they ran towards the girl. "Mind if we walk with you?" Asked Ryou as he came to a steady pace at her side, she didn't say anything just looked down at the ground, she didn't feel like talking. "What's been wrong with you today Danielle? Your arm's cut, your hair looks like someones taken a weedwacker to it and your eyes, you look pathertic." Malik frowned as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "We're all worried." She answered softly barely audible "I don't know I don't feel anything, my life is falling apart and I don't know what to do about it." She secretly held back tears, "I'm just going to go home and get some rest maybe I'll feel better tommorrow." She said softly, the two nodded and walked off as she took the street towards her home. 'Nothing will help me feel better, I'm just a freak, and freaks are things that should be killed nothing can change them.'

The doorbell rang and Seto stood outside the door of Danielle's house, greeted by one of their servants. "Hello, Mr. Kaiba, what can I do for you." He nodded to the woman as she motioned him to come in, "I need to talk to Danielle, is she here?" The woman nodded and lead him up the stairs of the two story victorian house. "Mistress, there's someone here to see you." She said perhaps hoping that this visit would lift the young girls hopes. "It's a man, a rather handsome one here to see you Mistress." She sounded rather cheerful as she looked at him and winked. Something broke before the door opened slightly revealing a green eye, "Go away, I don't wish to have any form of company now." Seto frowned, perhaps he would have to convince her himself seeing as though standing up to your employers daughter would get you fired. "Danielle, let me in I need to talk to you." The girl slammed the door in his face as something else broke and a cry of pain was heard. With this he pulled the door open practically pulling it off the hinges. 'I'll pay for it to be fixed later.' he thought to himself. What he found in that room was something that showed she needed help, a small but sharp pair of scissors lay on the floor bloodstained, the rest of the room seemed orderly except for several bloodstains across the floor and a broken lamp, he assumed she had broken when he came in. She lay on the floor, where she had fallen, and looked horrifiedly at her hand. "What have you done to yourself?!" He almost yelled causing the girl to cringe. "Seto why are you here?" She asked almost having to choke the works out. "I'm worried about you." He answered offering her his hand. She took it and he pulled her off the ground. "Why would you be worried?" She asked trying to put as much pride into her voice as possible, "I'm not worth it." She burst into tears at that moment as she leaned against the wall and slowly slid down it. "I'm not worth it!" She yelled once more before she started beating her head against the wall and crying wildly. "Stop it Danielle your going to give yourself a concusion!" He once again had to fight back yelling, She wasn't even listening. He then decided he would stop her by more physical means, he pulled her up grasping her arms and shoulders as she continued to cry. "Danielle! Listen!" Everything went silent as his lips covered her own, her muffled crys soon stopped and she looked wide eyed at the brown haired CEO. "Why did you?..." She stared stunned at those blue eyes. "Because it was the only thing I could think of to get you to calm down." He remarked as he picked up the scissors on the floor, "You've taken up self abuse or are you trying to be a hairstylist and testing it out on your own hair?" He smiled slightly, he had ment it to be a joke but she didn't take it that way, her eyes filled with tears. "I'm joking, I know why your doing this." He frowned slightly. "Then why? I don't know myself."
"Because running your fathers company is getting to you am I right? you want to do other things." She nodded. "But what can I do, I trust you, but I don't trust them." She sighed "Sign it over to me, and just me, I'll make sure that if they try to take over it they die slow painful deaths." He assured her. She nodded "I will." He smiled slightly, "You might want to get some help with your problems though."
__________________________________________________________________ Seto frowned at the group he was suposed to have fired weeks before, who had suggested he hire someone to kill the girl he now seemed to care for. "So now that we have control of her company, we should see to it that she gets the proper help that she needs right Mr. Kiaba?" Seto frowned "If your suggesting we convince her to check into a mental institure no, I think that would only make her worse off." They all frowned not the answer they had wanted. Seto then got up from his chair and walked off. "Perhaps Mr. Kaiba doesn't think it best but we do, we'll make sure she gets the finest care possible and that she is kept very isolated from the world."

Okay things are starting to heat up, I've got the whole Seto romance going but if you haven't noticed there seem to be two others who care about her that much. I won't continue if you don't review.
