Two days passed. Then a week. Then a month. Kaiba could find nothing wrong with Kea. She would occasionally get phone calls on her cell phone and have to run out quickly, but that was the only suspicious thing about her. And it was obvious to him that she cared about Mokuba more as a close friend than as a student.
When Kaiba walked into the livingroom one day, he saw Kea standing and pacing slowly in front of the couch, where Mokuba was sitting with his hands folded. Kea was giving a phony teacher's glare before stopping in front of him. She ran through a series of questions about algebra, all of which he answered quickly and precisely.
Kea narrowed her eyes at Mokuba for her last question. "How are you gonna do on the test tomorrow?"
Smiling, Mokuba said, "I'm gonna get an A. Because if I don't, I know you'll make me do it again and you know how much I hate fractions."
Kea giggled. "Bingo," she said, moving to sit down on the couch next to Mokuba. That was when she caught sight of Kaiba in the doorway. "Hi," she said. "Observing your brother's tutoring lesson, hm?"
"You could say that," Kaiba shrugged, walking into the room. By now, Kaiba had become accustomed to talking with Kea when she wasn't teaching his brother. Mokuba often teased Kaiba, saying that he was actually making a friend.
"It sounds like Mokuba's really improved." Kaiba said. "Am I right?"
"That you are," Kea said. "I quiz him sometimes, after I teach him stuff. I told you that once before. And from when we first started, he went from a D average to an A. It's a low A, but it's still an A."
"Hey, I'm still doing better," Mokuba said.
Kea smiled at Mokuba. "Are you staying, Kaiba? Or do you have some work to do today or something?"
Kaiba shrugged and walked over to the couch, sitting down on the armrest. "I'm staying for today, my secretary faxed me the papers that needed to be done and I don't have work to be completed until tomorrow."
"Cool," Kea said. "Maybe you can stay and hang out with me and Mokuba for a little bit."
"Maybe," Kaiba said. "By the way, I'm grateful for your tutoring Mokuba. I don't know how you did it."
Kea smirked. The twisted grin looked very familiar to Mokuba, and soon he realized that it matched his brother's evil smile. "I'm the best at what I do," Kea said. "All the time."
"Hmm. I'm sure you are," Kaiba said with a hint of sincerity in his voice. "You've still got another twenty minutes or so here. When do you want to leave for me to take you home?"
The smirk on Kea's face dropped as she thought about how Kaiba had been giving her rides home after the sessions every day. She truthfully wouldn't have minded riding with him again, but she shook her head and seriously said, "Actually, I was gonna ask you if I could stay a little later today. Somebody's coming to pick me up because I need to go somewhere, but he can't get here for another hour and a half. If it's an inconvenience, I can always go down the street and wait in the coffee shop or something."
"It's fine," Kaiba replied, shaking his head. "I'll be in my office. Come upstairs and tell me before you leave." With that, Kaiba turned and left the room.
Kea looked at Mokuba in disbelief. "He wants me to tell him when I leave?" she asked. "Is that your brother? Are you sure that's not one of his machines or something?"
Mokuba laughed. "Seto's not that bad," he said. "You just have to get to know him and he'll open up. He's really fun when it's just me and him."
Nodding, Kea said, "Yeah, he's not that bad when he drives me home, either. It's like he's actually a real person. Scary, huh?"
Mokuba smiled. "I think Seto actually made a friend. He's usually not nice to people like he's nice to you."
Kea leaned back and folded her arms behind her head. "Yeah well I guess that makes me special," she said. "Either that or Kaiba likes me."
At that comment, Mokuba broke out in a fit of laughter. "Aw man, I can't imagine Seto with a girlfriend! Ha! That's rich!"
"Gosh, can you think of what he would say if he was trying to ask a girl out?" Kea said thoughtfully. "Hey, ten bucks says your brothers marries his computer. Y'know, the one that talks to him?"
That got Mokuba laughing even harder, and the two of them broke out into a long, playful conversation about themselves and Kaiba.
------------------------------LATER------------------------------
Two hours passed and Kea was still at the house. She was pacing in the livingroom and continuously checking her watch.
"I'm sure they'll get here," Mokuba said, briefly looking up from the Game Boy Advance.
"Maybe," Kea said. She voice darkened and she said, "You don't know these people like I do, Mokuba, if they don't get here soon, I can guarantee you they'll never be able to get here."
Mokuba looked at Kea, surprised at the tone of her voice. She didn't seem to notice his odd stare as she continued pacing. Mokuba shrugged it off and went back to his game. It wasn't for another half an hour when Kaiba came back down.
"I got curious when I looked at my clock and saw that you still hadn't come up to tell me your ride got here," Kaiba said. "I thought you were leaving."
"Yeah, I did, too," Kea said. "The idiot never showed up."
Before Kaiba could offer Kea a ride again, a loud ringer sounded, echoing off the walls in the room. Quickly, Kea grabbed the cell phone from her bookbag and looked at the Called ID. A look of confusion washed over her face as she flipped the phone open and cautiously said, "Hello?"
"Kea. It's Vinny."
"Vin! Where are you! Where the heck are you calling from!" Kea exclaimed. She listened for a moment, then quietly, but lough enough for the Kaiba brothers to hear, said, "I'll be at the coffee shop down the street from the estate, pick me up there in twenty minutes or I swear, I'll go by myself. Tell me about it then." With that, the phone flipped shut and was placed back into the black backpack.
"I'll be back tomorrow," Kea said. "See ya, Mokuba. Bye Kaiba."
The Kaibas mumbled their goodbyes and watched Kea leave and hurry down the walkway. Mokuba turned his game off and looked at his brother. "Don't even say it, Seto," he said. "Kea's just a tutor. It sounded like she had some date with some guy and he's late coming or something. Normal stuff."
Kaiba looked at Mokuba for a moment, then said, "Fine," and turned to walk out of the room.
------------------------------AT THE COFFEE SHOP------------------------------
Kea arrived at the coffee shop and ordered a drink. Almost immediately after her iced latte was placed in front of her, Vinny came rushing in the door, looking around frantically for Kea.
"Vin!" Kea called, waving one hand over her head.
Vinny saw her and waved, making his way over to the table. The built Italian slid into the booth, sitting across from Kea.
"Now what's this job you're telling me about?" Kea asked, getting straight to the point. "Tell me about it quick, 'cause we gotta go meet Mr. Salvador about the package."
Vinny looked around the restaurant cautiously before leaning forward and lowering his voice. The entire conversation from that point on was spoken in Italian by both Vinny and Kea. They knew people around them would understand if they used Japanese, the language that Kea was used to using in Domino City.
"We got a kidnapping set up for you," Vinny said. "Mr. Salvador wants this guy taken and tortured by Saturday. That gives you three days to get this planned and ready. Enough time?"
"Yeah," Kea replied. "I done worse jobs with one day. So what's gonna happen to him after I hold him? Who's gonna take care of him?"
"You are," Vinny smirked.
"Me?" Kea replied in shock. "I never killed nobody before. I do hostages, not murders! I'll do the hostage routine, but get somebody else to take care of the guy." Reluctantly, Vinny sighed and agreed.
"Make plans to have him 'napped by Friday, Salvador wants him beat to a bloody pulp when he gets to him on Saturday."
Nodding, Kea took a tip of her latte. "No problem," she said. "I'll talk to ya in the afternoons for the rest of the week to figure out what's going on. I gotta cancel my tutoring sessions, though. I don't want this kid and his brother to have anything to do with this."
Vinny took out a box of cigarettes and a matchbox. After lighting the cigarette, he took a deep drag on it, then blew the smoke into the air. "No can do," he said plainly.
"No can do? What do you mean, 'no can do'?" Kea asked. "I stop the lessons for this week, the guys gets taken care of by Saturday, I go back to sessions on Monday." She snapped her fingers a couple times and said, "Boom. That's it."
Again, Vinny shook his head. "It doesn't work like that, babe," he said. "You gotta work tomorrow and Friday on this tutoring thing."
Now confused, Kea asked, "Why?"
After dragging on his cigarette, Vinny said, " 'Cause we're takin' out Seto Kaiba."
