Love Kaleidoscope

Chp20 Kaleidoscope of Love

"What are you people good for? I can't leave this place for more than five minutes without you all letting it fall apart!" Shouted Seto angrily as he slammed his good hand down forcefully. "Sometimes I wonder why I even let you people work here." Suddenly Seto paused for moment, as he quickly started to rethink his words. "Correction why are you people still working here! You're all fired! Now get out of my sight right now before I have you all physically removed from this building!!"

The cowering CEO's jumped out their seats like frightened animals as they made their clumsy escape out of the meeting hall. After the room was finally cleared Seto scowled in their direction, snatched his laptop from off the table, and made his way to his office. His icy blue eyes scanned the crowded office area viscously, daring any poor unsuspecting victim to even so much as breathe in his direction.

Everyone in the office let out a long delayed sigh as Seto slammed the door to his office, knocking down a few framed certificates from off the nearby walls. For the past few weeks, Kaiba's visits to the office had become increasingly less and somewhat resembled the work hours of a normal human being. Therefore, with the decrease in Kaiba's presence, work ethics skyrocketed seeing as how everyone was finally able to relax.

 However the vacation was quickly cut short when their oh so cheery boss had returned. Something had definitely changed about Kaiba. Before he had left, Seto was just strict, uptight, and slightly unbearable, but now that he had returned, he had somehow transformed into a cruel, ruthless, and unrelenting monster. Now the office was filled with nothing but fear and dread as everyone anticipated who would be fired next during Seto's unruly rampage.

Seto slammed his hand down on the keyboard, frustrated with the fact that he was only allowed the use of one hand. "This is all her fault too," thundered Seto as he tossed the laptop violently to the floor and stared at it absently. Try as he might Seto could just not forget about Anzu. Now the only temporary relief Seto was able to find was when he fully absorbed himself into his work, however with the loss of his right hand, Seto found himself severely handicapped.

"Dammit! Why did I have to be so stupid? How could I have been so weak? I let them both trick me time and time again, and for what?" Seto took in a sharp breath as something uninvited ran through his mind.

'And for what? Because……..' Seto stared down at his broken hand silently as his mind began to register what he had just said. However, He quickly pummeled the stray thoughts as he squeezed his injured hand tightly causing a sharp pain to run up his back, blacking out all previous thoughts.

 "Anzu, I'll never forgive you, and Yami, I swear the next time I see you……" When Seto had seen the two together he had been in so much shock that by the time he had finally instructed the driver to turn around (so that he could possibly run over one tri-colored haired teen and strangle one brunette), they were both already gone.

"No! I won't be beaten again! I won't let either of them hold me back any further. That's probably what they would want!" growled Seto as he picked the poor tattered laptop from off the floor. "I don't need my other hand to do this, and I definitely don't need anyone's help!"

/That's right Seto, you don't need anyone/

***************************************

"Sorry Anzu, Seto's not here today either," frowned Mokuba as he stared at Anzu sadly. "Actually he left for work early yesterday morning and he's still hasn't come home."

Anzu stared down at the depressed looking Mokuba and tried her hardiest to smile. It was obvious to her that Seto's careless behavior was worrying the younger Kaiba and although she was a little more than disappointed that Seto had just about disappeared off the face of the planet, Anzu didn't want to vex Mokuba any further.

"Don't worry Mokuba, I'm sure there was just some kind of a problem at the office. I promise he'll be home soon." Smiled Anzu reassuringly, as she gave Mokuba a scruff pat on the head. Mokuba smiled up at Anzu weakly. Normally he didn't like being treated like a little kid, but with Anzu it was different. He could see why his brother liked her so much.

As Anzu waved Mokuba goodbye she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart. Everyday for the past week, she had been trying to get a hold of Seto, however for some reason he had been spending a substantial amount of time at his office. Now Anzu really hoped in her heart that she was right and that there was just some kind of problem at the office, and not something else.

After Anzu had spoken with Yami, a part of her heart started to ache for Seto more and more with each passing day. Now she could take it no longer. She just had to see Seto and tell him how she felt. It had taken some time, but now Anzu was truly able to embrace the meaning of Yami's words. Now she knew in heart without a shadow of a doubt, that she did truly and deeply love Seto. Yes a part of her still had feelings for Yami, but the part of her that cared for Seto was just so much greater and she knew that with time she would be able to completely overcome the grief of his lose.

Now the bigger part of her wanted nothing more than to see Seto again. It was at this point that Anzu realized that ever since their fateful meeting at the park, this was the longest period of time she had spent away from Seto. It wasn't until now that Anzu realized just how much she missed….wanted…..needed to see his face again, to hear his voice. "That's it!" shouted Anzu aloud. "I have to see Seto right now!"

****************************************

"I want you to file all these and have them on my desk in an hour!" barked Seto. The startled secretary stared wide-eyed at her boss as she dared not to object to his outrageous request. To her dismay, her employer had some how managed to finish a weeks worth of paper work in one day, despite the disuse of his right hand.

The secretary took in a nervous sigh as Seto returned to his office with a very loud slam of his office door. At this point the poor trembling secretary wished she was anywhere but at work. She knew that there was no way that she could file all that paper work in just an hour. However, without a further moments delay she reluctantly started working at the impossible task that she was given. That is until she was suddenly interrupted.

**********************************************

Seto stared out the large windows of his office suite as he impatiently tapped his pen on the windowsill. "Uh, um M-Mr. Kaiba Sir……" whispered a meek voice from behind him.

"What do you want Kairi, I told you not to interrupt me, and I seriously doubt you're done filing all those reports." hissed Seto as he made no attempt to turn around and face his nervous looking secretary.

"Um, uh, but Mr. Kaiba Sir, there is someone her to see you." Retaliated the secretary.

"Well I'm pretty sure I have no scheduled meetings, considering I fired all those incompetents, so tell whoever it is to go away. I'm busy!" snapped Seto as his patience began to dissipate. Now suddenly he was in the mood to fire another idiot.

"But Mr. Kaiba the young lady insisted she needed to speak with you." Seto's heart suddenly stopped in his chest as an idea of the only young lady who would come to see him came to mind.

Seto paused for a moment, as his heart suddenly began to falter. However he was quick to regain his senses as his pride took over. "Well unless she has an appointment, which I seriously doubt, tell her to go away!"

Not wanting to anger her boss any further or get fired, the secretary decided not to test Seto any further. "Sorry miss, but Mr. Kaiba is very busy right now, I'm going to have to ask you to leave-"

"No wait I have to see Seto right now, Seto why are you being like this-" shouted a very familiar voice.

Upon hearing her voice, the pen Seto was pounding on the windowsill suddenly snapped in two, however before Seto had time to react he was swung forcefully around in his chair, only to come face to face with two pair of desperate looking azure eyes.

"Seto, it's me," cried Anzu. "Please, we need to talk."

As there eyes met, the ice in Seto's eyes briefly melted as a flood of emotions flowed through him. However, Seto's eye's quickly returned to subzero temperatures as he easily regained his composure. "Kairi, what is this? I told you I was busy! Now if you truly value your job, you will show this lady to the door."

Fearing the fury of her boss Kairi quickly jumped in front of Anzu and tried to motion her towards the door. "What!? Seto what is wrong with you? Why are you doing this?" exclaimed Anzu as she pushed passed the frantic secretary.

"Kairi if you can't handle this then perhaps I should find someone who can," growled Seto in a cool yet irritated tone.

A miserable look covered the secretary's face as she looked at Anzu desolately. True she was afraid of Kaiba, but at this point, the fire Anzu was emitting was a bit more intimidating.

"Now I see why you've been hiding here at your office!" exclaimed Anzu as she once again made her way towards Seto. "Seto I'm sorry about what happened! I know that you're probably angry with me, and you might not want to talk to me, but…but we really need to talk, and I want you to know that I really am truly sorry for any pain and hurt that I might have caused you!"

Kairi let out sharp gasp as she took in Anzu's words. Realizing that Anzu had already revealed too much of his personal life to his bumbling secretary, Seto quickly leapt from out his chair as the alarm signal rang clearly in his brain. Both Anzu and Kairi were taken aback as Seto started to say something to Anzu, but then quickly turned on his secretary and gave her his iciest glare. Kairi felt as though her heart had stopped as she fearfully anticipated her bosses' wrath.

Kaiba opened his mouth and let out a very infuriated sigh. It was pretty obvious that he was trying with all his might to keep himself under control. "Never mind," gritted Seto calmly. "It's obvious that I'll have to handle this myself. Now leave right now before I make your disappearance from this office permanent!"

Not having to be told twice, Kairi bolted out of the office, leaving the two frustrated teens alone.

Seto watched impatiently as his secretary fled from the office. After he was sure that they were completely alone, Seto turned his cold gaze on Anzu. "What do you want!?!"

Anzu was taken aback by Seto's bitter tone. Sure she had thought that he would be a little angry by her action's that night at the park. She should have never run away from the both of them like that, but she had no idea he would be this mad. However, despite his rage, Anzu was determined to tell Seto how she felt. Even if it meant she had to continue to take his worse kind of abuse, Anzu knew that her love for Seto was absolutely worth it.

"Seto I came here because we need to talk." half whispered Anzu, as her voice suddenly decided not to cooperate with her.

"Yes, yes, talk, talk," muttered Seto in a sarcastic tone. "That's all you've been doing, but quite frankly I think I've heard enough of your irritating speeches! Now I feel there is nothing more we need to talk about!" And with that final statement Seto turned around in his chair and continued to stare out his window.

"Seto why are you being like this?" The only response Anzu received was a long cold silence and the back of Seto's chair.

"Seto please," pleaded Anzu as her heart suddenly went into panic mode. Seto still made no attempt to answer her.

"Fine then, be that way, but I'm still going to tell you what I came her to say." Shouted Anzu angrily. There were still no objections from Kaiba's side of the office.

"Seto, first of all I just want to apologize from running away from both you and Yami. I know it was selfish of me, but now I realize that running away from my problems doesn't solve anything." Seto let out a silent sigh as he prayed that Anzu didn't hear it. He wanted to ignore her. The smarter part of him was telling him to do so, but no matter how much he tried to fight it, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

"I also realize that the decision I made, was selfish. I thought what I was doing would be the best for all of us, but now I know I was wrong. Now I realize that what I did only hurt you both worse, and well that was never my intentions. I never would want to hurt you because……" Anzu paused as Seto's unbearable silence continued to suck her nerve away. "Because….."

"Kaiba I love you. I'm not sure how or when it happened, but I think I've been in love with you for a long time. However, at one point I was also in love with Yami. But now…now I've come to realize that I don't love Yami anymore, well at least not in the way that I love you."

Upon hearing Anzu's words, Seto slowly shut his eyelids and leaned his head back on his chair. 'Why does this girl torture me so?'

"At first I didn't want to make the choice, but now I see that even though I loved you both, I only want to give my heart to you! You see it's you that I want to be with Seto. It's you that my heart aches for. It's you that I love….." As Anzu's voice began to trail off she was suddenly startled by a loud slam.

"That's it! I've heard enough," shouted Seto as he finally turned to meet Anzu's bewildered gaze. "Why do you keep doing this to me? I don't understand what you want from me Anzu!"

"I don't want anything from you Seto. All I want is you." Whispered Anzu softly.

"Liar!" thundered Seto as he slammed his hand down again. "What kind of an idiot do you take me for?"

"Seto?" questioned Anzu just before she was cut off.

"I'm not sure what I did to you to make you hate me so much. I guess this is some kind of revenge for Yugi or Jonouchi, or something. I'm not sure, but now that you finally got your damn Yami you can let me be! You've humiliated me ten times worse than I ever did them."

"Seto what are you talking about?" blinked Anzu as she found herself completely lost.

"Don't play stupid with me. I saw you and Yami! I know who you really chose!" spat Seto venomously as he felt his blood boil at the mere recollection of that night.

Anzu gasped as she suddenly realized what Seto was talking about. "No Seto, your wrong, I-"

"Yes Anzu," interrupted Seto once again. "I was wrong! I was wrong for ever getting involved with a person like you!"

Anzu tried to explain herself to Seto, but found her voice suddenly cut off by an icy laugh." But at least this experience wasn't a total waste." Chuckled Seto disdainfully. "I guess I can thank you for one thing Anzu. You taught me Anzu that there really is no one in this world that I can depend on but myself. You've shown me that I shouldn't trust anyone and that love is a tool used against the weak. So I guess in the end you did help me become a stronger person. Now I know I will never be tricked like this again."

Anzu felt her heart shatter, as her legs suddenly went weak. No matter how much she tried, Seto would not let her speak. Even if he did let her, Anzu knew deep down that at this point it really wouldn't have mattered. 'Why won't he believe me."

"What's wrong Anzu? You don't look so well?" smirked Seto wickedly. "Could it be that you finally realized you can't fool me anymore?"

Finally Anzu could take it no longer as she felt her heart burst, sending a flood of tears pouring from her face. "Seto your wrong!" she cried as she ran out his office.

Seto followed Anzu out the office and watched her run away. All workers stared at him with disbelief, in shock that their boss was not only cruel to his employees, but to anyone who got in his way. Seto stared at them all in disgust, quickly averting all gazes away from him. "What's wrong with you people? Get back to work!" growled Seto as he turned around and slammed his door shut. (I'm surprise he hasn't broken that door yet. LOL!)

Once he returned to his office Seto rested his head on the door and waited for his heart beat to slow. "Dammit!" he shouted as he balled his hand into a fist and punched the door. Finally he walked back to his desk and stared at his work blankly. "Now I've lost my motivation," he growled as he knocked all his papers off his desk and sat back down. "What I did was the right thing! Right? What I told her was only the truth and what she deserved. Right? I don't need her. I don't need anyone. I should be happy that she's finally out of my life."

/So then why do you feel so miserable/

***************************************************

"Wohoo!" jeered Jonouchi as he patted his stomach with satisfaction. "That sure hit the spot! Right Yug?"

"I wouldn't know Jono, you polished off my ice cream too!" muttered Yugi as he eyed Jonouchi wryly.

"Uhh, yeah well about that," laughed Jonouchi nervously as he scratched his nose. "Hey isn't that Anzu?" shouted Jonouchi almost too excitedly.

"Yeah like I'm gonna fall for that, now quit trying to change the subject!" frowned Yugi as he rolled his eyes and made no attempt to follow Jonouchi's lead. However, unable to resist Jonouchi's pathetic look for any longer, Yugi stole a quick glance in the direction he was pointing. "Hey wait, that is Anzu!"

"That's what I said Yugi!" grumbled Jonouchi. "What do you take me for, some kind of a liar?"

"No, just a thief," smirked Yugi much in manner that resembled his darker half. Jonouchi let out an innocent chuckle as he quickly sought out a means of escape.

"Hoy Anzu!" shouted Jonouchi goofily as he was relieved to find any kind of excuse to get him out the fix he was in now. Anzu waved at them weakly and then continued to walk away.

Yugi knew immediately something was wrong, but by the time he could say anything, the guilty Jonouchi had already took off running in Anzu's direction. "Hey! Wait up!"

"Whoa Anzu you don't look so good, what's the matter." Questioned Jonouchi with full concern. Not too long after Jonouchi asked, Yugi quickly caught up to see what was the matter.

"Hey Anzu, hn? What's the matter," panicked Yugi as he realized what had startled Jonouchi. Anzu's face was stained red from tears and her usually clear blue eyes were now dim and murky.

At first Anzu had planned to keep her problems to herself, however once she heard Yugi's voice she was unable to contain herself any longer as she instantly fell to her knees. "Oh Yugi!" she cried as she burst into tears. Yugi wasn't sure what was wrong as he immediately took Anzu into his arms and let her cry into his chest.

"It's okay Anzu," cooed Yugi reassuringly. "Everything will be alright."

**********************************************

"Thanks a lot for hearing what I had to say. I'm sorry I kept this all from you, it's just that I didn't want to trouble any of you with my problems," smiled Anzu weakly.

"What's wrong with you Anzu? Don't say stuff like that. I thought we were all friends here!" protested Jonouchi.

"Yeah, Jochan is right. We're all friends here. When you have a problem, you know you can always come to us."

"Yeah! And if you want, I'd be glad to clobber Kaib-umf." Jonouchi was quickly cut off as Yugi swiftly elbowed him.

"Jochan," scolded Yugi as he gave him an irritated look.

"Geez I was only jokin Yug, well sort of." Retaliated Jonouchi as he rubbed his side.

Anzu watched the two best friends bicker, and let out a small giggle. "Thank you guys. I think I'm starting to feel a lot better now."

"Really?" questioned both teens simultaneously, as they smiled back at Anzu inquisitively. Anzu couldn't help but smile back as she realized that they were only arguing to try to make her feel better.

"Well maybe you should get some rest for now Anzu, I bet you'll feel even more better in the morning," replied Yugi reassuringly as he opened up the door to her house for her.

"Yeah, I think your right Yugi, I think I'll do that," and with that final statement Anzu waved her friends goodbye and disappeared into her house.

The moment that Anzu shut her door, Yugi's Sennen Puzzle suddenly began to shake violently as a familiar figure appeared in front of the two awe stricken boys.

"So I guess you heard everything, huh Yami?" asked Yugi as he stared worriedly into the eyes of his other self.

"Damn him. What the Hell is that Seto Kaiba thinking?" growled Yami as he clenched his fist tightly into the air. "Well there's no way I'm going to stand around and let him treat Anzu this way! Come on!" commanded Yami as he started to stomp away.

"Wh-where are we going?" stammered Jonouchi.

"Were going to go Kaiba corps to see Kaiba!" answered Yami in a slightly aggravated tone. He really wasn't in the mood for any delays as his love and concern for Anzu fueled his anger.

"Uhh, Yami…." interrupted Jonouchi again as he and Yugi made no attempt to follow him.

"What Jono?" snapped Yami in an even more irritated tone.

"Kaiba's office is that way." Blinked Jonouchi as he pointed in the opposite direction Yami was going.

"Heh, I knew that." Chuckled Yami nervously as a small sweat drop fell from his brow.

To be continued………..

Quote of the week: "Success is failure turned inside out."

You know there was a point in time that I was starting to get REALLY lazy, and then I said to myself: "I really don't feel like finishing this fic." Then one day I was listening to the radio and this song that reminded me of my fic came on. I don't know if any of you have ever heard it before, but it was Stacie Orrico's song "Stuck." I mean the song was so perfect, especially the chorus:

I can't take it, what am I waiting for?

My hearts still breaking, I miss you even more.

And I can't fake it, the way I could before.

I hate you! But I love you! I can't stop thinking of you!

It's true…I'm stuck on you!

I mean that so reminds me of Anzu's relationship with both Yami and Kaiba. Okay well more Kaiba then Yami seeing as how they have this love-hate relationship going on. Neither one of them wants to admit they love each other because of their pride, but in the end they eventually give up and do. Well to make a long story short (even though it was still kind of long), I changed my mind and decided to finish this fic and I also bought Stacie's cd (which was a pretty nice cd). It was great motivation, so I guess you guys can thank Stacie for my finishing this story. Also you guys really frighten me and I do want to live to make it to age 21 so I knew it was finish or die.

Oh and I have to admit I did feel really sorry for the secretary. Okay I know I wrote the fic, but still. It was either face an angry Kaiba or face a pissed off woman. Heh, I think I would have faced Kaiba instead too. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," or something cliché -like that. I know, I know, I can be a little evil to everyone.

Hmm, I also must admit that was probably my first time I've ended the chapter with a little humor (guys are so impulsive, but that's what makes them cute). Well I guess I had to make up for the cliffhanger a little bit, even though there was still a cliffhanger (evil, evil writer, can't you get your kicks in a less annoying way?). However, sadly this is my last cliffhanger (mysteries audience makes a "AWWW" sound.) What?!? Where did that come from? Er, um anyway as much as you hate them, I know you guys are going to miss them….well how bout' at least a little bit…….well fine then :P on you! I know I will, because I had so much fun being evil um I mean being a creative suspense drawing authoress.

Well judging from what I wrote above, I guess you guys have figured out that there is only one chapter left in my little love kaleidoscope (mysteries audience makes a "AWWW" sound.). What the Hell?!? What is that noise!?! Anyho, for those of you who have been with me all this time, thank you so much and I'm happy to say that what you've been waiting for is finally coming, and for those of you who have just started reading this fic, lucky you, you have only one more chapter to pine over!

Anyways I guess I've said more than enough for now and I just want to thank you all again for being so loyal to my fic up until now. Especially you crazy, impulsive, obsessive, devout fans! I promise I will try to make the finale the best damn chapter yet! Until then in the famous words of cutie pu-tuttie lil ol Vash-kun, Love and Peace-out!
