Invisible Touch
Chapter 15
Anjel continues down the hallways and into the bathroom. Sure enough, Seto went in with her, laughing. Anjel grabs her gun from under her dress and points it to him, "I've had it with your stalking, Kaiba. I want you out of this place now."
The CEO slaps the gun out of her hands, pins her to the wall, and silenced her with a heated kiss. Anjel felt her knees trembling from his touches on her thighs. "Please, stop it," she begged. "One child is enough."
"It isn't for me. I don't care," he replies in between kisses. "I love you so much, I have to...." His train of thought was gone catching a glimpse of Anjel's breasts.
He pulls down the front of her dress and begins kissing them. His tongue darts out to flick the blonde's nipples. Anjel weakens with every sensation she felt, yet she continues to squirm and slightly moan. Seto pulls away to take off his clothes. Then, he began to unzip her dress allowing it to slide off her body. Anjel mentally kicked herself for not wearing a bra. Somehow, she did remember to put on clean panties. Once again, she begged, "Stop it, please! I don't want this."
The CEO didn't listen for he resumes to invade her body with soft kisses. Each time she'd moan, Seto would move further down her body. "Stop!" she cries out.
The CEO still didn't listen. Now he was to her only sacred area. He licks his lips, moves closer, and plunges his tongue in her. She gasped at first. With great anger, she pushes the CEO onto the tiled floor. Startled, Seto asks, "Anjel, why did you do that? I thought you were enjoying this."
"No, I did not!" she growls. "For your information, I have to take a shower. And I don't want any company! Now get out!!"
Then the door locks from outside.
"I guess you're stuck with me. I can help you dry." He said that to get her to change her mind. He figured it didn't work considering she'd whacked him on the head with a paper fan.
Later, he was tied to a sink and is wearing a blindfold. "Anjel," he whined, "you can't keep me tied like this. I have to use the toilet."
"You should've thought of that before you tried to seduce me," the blonde snorts.
Seto hears the shower going. He sighs not trying to remove the blindfold. So far, he couldn't move at least two inches. Anjel silently bathes in peace. The minutes have passed, and the bathroom is now thick with steam. As for Seto, hearing the water running made him cross his legs. Anjel notices this and began to tease him, "Seto, the sound of this water is so relaxing."
The CEO whimpers. "It's like they're taking away your troubles. It makes me wonder if I'll ever travel to see Niagara Falls," she continues. "Oh well, the closest I'll get to is this shower running."
Seto groans just holding it in. Anjel grabs a cup, fills it with water, and slowly empties it into the tub. "You can't do this to me, Anjel, it's inhumane! Please, I gotta go very bad," Seto whined as he fidgeted.
"Now you know how I feel when I tell you to stop. Did you? No!" She rinses herself and turns the water off. She reaches for a towel and wraps it around her body. She grabs another towel and wraps her hair up. Finally, she releases the CEO. Seto quickly did his business after the blindfold was removed.
"You have some nerve to tie me up like that," he spat.
"I know. Now when I tell you to stop, you do it. I don't care what you have to say," she snaps. "As long as you're in my mansion, I have control of what I do. Got it?"
"Clear as a bell."
"As a rule, there will be no seducing."
"Not even a kiss?"
"NO! I mean it, Seto. There will be no seducing or kissing."
"Now I know why."
The door opens. Behind it was Chaos glaring at Anjel, "You're not leaving this bathroom until you settle this."
He slams it shut and locks it. Anjel growls in frustration, "Settle what?"
"You have to marry someone. Don't do this for yourself; do it for Junior. Right now, he's in his room crying," the dark mage replies.
"Chaos, if you don't let me out, things will not be easy for you. I can still remove that voice box."
"I'll risk it. Besides, let Seto talk to your son. That's probably the only reason he's here."
Anjel stomps her foot. She then bangs her head on the door in defeat, "All right, let this jackass out. It's bad enough I have to settle with a boy who considers himself a human version of a ninja turtle in disguise."
Seto blinks twice and ignores the blonde beauty as he is getting dressed. Before he left, there's a certain spot where the tattoo used to be. There was no tattoo! Not where he's looking. Anjel has one removed long ago and a new one on the left side of her chest. The last place Seto looked. He would've seen it if he didn't cover it with his hand. Thank goodness! He runs a finger down Anjel's slender arm softly and walks out. She cringes in disgust as if she'd been hit on by a lesbian.
"Anjel, you know you like it," Chaos teased.
"How would you like to hold the record of the first android with the lumpiest face?" she threatened.
"I bet that would give me a lot of attention."
"Oh yeah? You'd be getting attention after I shave off that thick mop of hair."
The dark mage yelps and covers his head. Anjel holds up an electric shaver to his face. The dark mage runs down the hallway screaming. The blonde beauty shuts the door.
Meanwhile, Seto sees an open door and peeks inside the room. He found Junior on the bed. It appears that the green-haired teen fell asleep. The CEO enters the room quietly and sits on the edge of the bed. Looking closer, he sees the teen wide awake and with a cigarette in his hand. WHAT?!?! O_O.... (A fifteen-year-old smoking?!?) "Junior," the CEO taps the teen on the shoulder. "What are you doing smoking? You shouldn't be smoking at your age."
Junior turns to Seto taking in a puff and exhaling slowly. "I don't care. I have to at least find something to do," he snorts and coughs. "Why are you here?"
"To talk to you about your mother. What is with her all the time?"
"Oh........"
"I tried being nice to her, pleading, bribing, and being aggressive. Nothing works. I thought maybe you might help me out."
"I wish I knew. She's more complicating than figuring out what she wants for her birthday. Y'know it's tomorrow."
"Already? That was fast."
"I was thinking of giving her diamond earrings and a new evening gown with glass slippers. That's all I can think of giving her."
"She never gave you any clues?"
"Not one."
"Oy! Shopping for your mother is my worst nightmare."
"May I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it?"
"Why do you still chase after her, even though she hates your guts?"
"She did a very special thing years ago."
"She never told me that. What special thing are you talking about?"
"If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have found Mokuba."
"Who's Mokuba?"
"My younger brother. If I marry your mother, he'd be your uncle. But I digress. She appeared out of nowhere after I ran from one of those goons in a tunnel. I would've been lost, but she found me and led me to Mokuba."
"Why don't you tell her about that? I'm sure she'd remember."
"It's not that simple, Junior. At my age, it's like comforting a woman in labor."
"By the way, who are you?"
Before Seto could answer, Anjel interferes the conversation, "Junior, I want an answer now. Have you been messing with Dale?"
Junior shook his head, "No, Mom. Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering. He's been acting very strange."
"Mom, who's this?"
Anjel scoffs, "That's just Seto Kaiba. As of now, he doesn't exist."
"If he doesn't exist, then how come you mentioned his name?" Junior pointed out.
"Can't a person mention names? So, Junior, are you planning on what you're giving me for my birthday?"
"Yes. It's a surprise."
"I hope it doesn't involve this sorry excuse for a man like him."
"Mom, why do you call him names? What has he done to you?"
"Plenty you wouldn't get. First off, sleeping with him was a big mistake."
"What happened?"
"You, and the fact this slug won't leave me alone for five seconds. I'd rather be tied to a bed and left there starving to death."
"Mom, he's my father isn't he? He does have the right to see me."
Anjel sighs dejectedly burying her face in her hand. Seto turns to the teen and smiles. Finally, the blonde beauty had but one choice, "Junior, I'm not talking to you for the rest of the day."
"Y'see, Mom, everytime I bring up the subject, you give me the silent treatment. I don't want to go through that again."
"Then get out!"
Oops! Junior forgot he was still in school and the only things he owned were the clothes he has on, a pack of cigarettes, and a lighter. Anjel left the room. Junior starts to cry, but the CEO places a hand on his shoulder, "Junior, you can stay with me if you like. After all, I am your father."
"Really? I can stay with you?"
"Absolutely, Son."
"Thanks, Dad."
The next day, Anjel went into Junior's room to apologize, but he wasn't there. She figured he might be in the livingroom watching TV or in the kitchen eating breakfast. Nope! Immediately, she asked one of her androids. Chaos told her that Junior left to stay with Seto. Anjel cries, "No, it's even worse than I thought. My only son went to live with a bottomfeeder."
At Kaiba's mansion, Junior explores the many rooms and hallways to adapt to the new surroundings. It was smaller, but at least it was easy to find all the rooms unlike his mother's mansion. Her mansion was so big, most of her androids got lost. He found the kitchen....at last. Waiting for him is Seto holding a spatula. Junior blinks twice and rubs his eyes. "This must be a dream. I never knew you could cook," the teen says in awe.
Seto laughs, "Now you do."
"Usually, Mom just leaves for work and I have to eat cereal. Well, first she wakes me up. When she's not working, she tosses me a granola bar and a bottle of juice."
"What about lunch and dinner?"
"Annabelle does that. Mystra prepares the desserts."
"Junior, not that it's any of my business, but how can you take that kind of abuse?"
"She doesn't abuse me, Dad. She's a very busy person and doesn't have time to cook. I'm lucky I get to see her at least once or twice a week. It's been that way in Egypt."
"I meant verbal abuse. Does she yell at you for smoking or anything?"
"She did yell at me for staying out late. One time I didn't come home and she nearly killed me."
The doorbell rings. "Who could that be at this hour?" Junior asks.
"Stay here, Junior." The CEO puts the spatula down, "I'll be right back."
The teen figured it was probably his mother at the door. Two minutes later, he hears a voice but nothing to run away from. He sneaks into the hallway and hides behind the table. At the door was a woman wearing white. He didn't exactly hear what she was saying, but he could only hear the word 'rod'. His instincts told him to call his mother until another part told him to keep this under his hat. He backs away a few steps and into the kitchen. Something told him that this wasn't a good thing. The CEO returns with a Millenium Rod under his belt. Junior kept quiet the whole time. Finally, Seto turns to his son, "Junior, you hardly said a word. What's wrong?"
Without looking, the teen asks, "What is that?"
"It's a Millenium Rod. I haven't a clue what it does, but Ishizu insisted that I should keep it."
"Dad, you know what today is?"
"I know. It's your mother's birthday." The CEO scoops up the contents from the frying pan and onto a plate, "What do you want to get her?"
"She gave me a clue yesterday. I was thinking of finding a rare card, but that owner at the game shop kicked me out," Junior frowns.
"What rare card were you thinking of getting her?"
"She doesn't have a dragon in her deck."
"Junior, you have to be specific."
"A Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
Seto drops the spatula on the floor. He lowers his head thinking about giving up one of his three precious dragons for a conniving witch. Then he was relieved to find that Junior mentioned of finding another one; but in order to get it, he had to bargain with this person in a dark alley. The CEO protests, "No! You will not stoop that low. No son of mine is gonna bargain in a dark alley for a rare card."
"But Dad...." the teen's sentence was cut short.
"No! Besides, I have a better way to get that card for your mother."
"There's no other way except take over a person's mind and snatch it from them...."
An idea pops into the CEO's head. "I got it. I'll use this rod on this person," he points it to the teen. "I'll bean this bastard from behind."
At the front door, Anjel snuck inside hearing a conversation going on in the kitchen. 'That bastard,' she thought angrily. 'He'll pay for filling Junior's head with ideas.'
"There was this one time she was naked and wet," Junior joked. "She blushed as she covered her vital areas and ran off. It was quite embarrassing when Shadi froze dead in his tracks to see her like that."
The CEO laughs, "I didn't know she had it in her. She ran around naked?"
"Yeah, and this was a mile run from the hot tub to her room. I think twenty people whistled, thirty more hooted so many catcalls, and two of them wanted to sleep with her. One of them was Shadi."
"What caused her to get out of the tub?"
"She mentioned about a bug in the water. It was just a bubble from the pipes."
"I bet she felt bad."
"Not really. However, Shadi did make her a robe for her twenty-fifth birthday."
"Silly woman. Be thankful there weren't very many nosebleeds."
"Right."
The almost mute sound of tapping on the floor silenced the two males. Junior chokes and laughs nervously. Seto just waves sheepishly and titters. At the doorway, Anjel stood with her arms crossed and a cold stare. "I see you two are having a ball laughing at my past. Why is that?"
Seto explains and stutters, "Anjel, n-now you know w-w-we wouldn't laugh to be m-mean. H-he was j-just telling me about w-what you were d- doing in Egypt."
Junior added, "It wouldn't hurt for him to know about what I did there."
"Hmph! Here you are telling this bottom-dwelling freak my life in Egypt when you didn't say one damn thing to your mother to make her feel important," Anjel spat.
"I'm sorry Mama. But I had to stay here. You were being mean to me and ignoring me."
"You think staying here is a picnic? Hell, I don't give a damn what you do."
"You still want your gift from me?"
"Yeah, and make sure it's not another gown. My closet is full. No glass slippers. I still have shards to remove from when I was thirteen."
Junior's plan has been flushed down the toilet. Seto could tell his son was hurt. It's painful to see a child crushed even when it came to gifts. Suddenly, the Millenium Rod reacts and changes Anjel's mind. The blonde beauty blinks three times and resumes speaking, "On second thought, why don't you find something nice for me to wear this evening. I have a birthday party planned by anonymous."
She happily left the mansion. Junior's eyes wandered, "Okay....my mom isn't mad at me. Wait, what birthday party?"
Seto places a hand on the teen's head, "Junior, don't tell your mother. I planned a special birthday party for her."
"Dad, you didn't tell her? Imagine how she's gonna react when she finds out you planned it."
"Not to worry. I have a backup plan this time."

"You should've thought of that before you tried to seduce me," the blonde snorts.

Suddenly, the Millenium Rod reacts and changes Anjel's mind. The blonde beauty blinks three times and resumes speaking, "On second thought, why don't you find something nice for me to wear this evening. I have a birthday party planned by anonymous."
She happily left the mansion. Junior's eyes wandered, "Okay....my mom isn't mad at me. Wait, what birthday party?"
Seto places a hand on the teen's head, "Junior, don't tell your mother. I planned a special birthday party for her."
"Dad, you didn't tell her? Imagine how she's gonna react when she finds out you planned it."
"Not to worry. I have a backup plan this time."
