'Seto Kaiba. Youngest CEO in the world.' I mussed turning slightly in my
chair. It had been made official yesterday and today was my first official
day of work. 'True, I do have school, but I'll just have to make time after
school. Homework never took me very long anyway.' I stood up and walked
over to the window.
'THE window.' I told myself. I heard a knock at the door and rolled my eyes.
"Come in." I growled. The door opened and I stood there waiting. "Well?"
"Master Kaiba." A voice said softly. "The reports you wanted."
"Leave them on my desk." I nodded. There was a soft thump then the door closed.
'I'm glad the staff seems to fear me. They probably should. I also don't have time to earn their respect and I cannot appear weak. One flaw and my entire staff will fly in like vultures. If they fear me, I control them. I would have the thing I had never had before; power.' I grinned, the smirk growing on my face.
"You hear that you stupid bastard?!" I laughed at my adopted father. "Whose got the power now? All those years of controlling me. Giving and taking my freedom on a whim. You should have known not to push me to far. You pushed me and I pushed you...out a window." I ran my hand along the window frame and turned to view my office.
'I'll have to call a decorator. I want all traces of Gozaburo Kaiba exterminated. Except, perhaps, these windows.' I mussed. My thoughts returned to my adopted father and became more serious. 'He is nothing but ashes now. Sad to think that one act could give me the thing I never had before. If I had known, I'd have down it earlier. All I ever wanted was power. The power to control my own thoughts and actions. You always said, 'Father', that there were the powerful and the powerless. Then you'd ask me what I was. I was the powerless, you said. And you were right. I was powerless. But not anymore. Guess the tables have been turned. I AM the powerful. And I like it. In fact, I'll do whatever I have to do to keep this power. I killed you to get it, didn't I? Makes you wonder what I'll do to get the other stuff I want.'
