Invisible Touch
Chapter 20
Somewhere in Domino City, Junior and Bakura's first stop is the theater to watch a movie. To Junior's disappointment, it was a romantic movie. That kind of movie makes him sleepy. To show he's not rude, he forces himself to watch it. Bakura noticed the actions throughout the movie and left early carrying the teen out. Next stop - the music store. Junior awakens from the sound of an electric guitar. "AIYEE!!" he shrieked.
"What?" Bakura asks innocently. "It's just me. I'm trying out this guitar."
"Wow!"
"You okay?"
"I'm okay. I just woke up too fast..." Junior looks down at his feet, "...in a standing position...."
"You're the first person to wake up standing on his feet. I would assume you were sleepwalking."
"Sorry, Bakura, but that movie made me sleepy."
"No need to apologize, J. I nearly fell asleep, too. That's the last time I watch mushy crap like that."
"Just out of curiosity, how did I end up here?"
"You were walking in your sleep. Half of the time, I couldn't keep up with you."
Junior blushed. Looking around the store, he spots Seto purchasing a guitar. Quickly, he dashed behind the white-haired rockstar, "Oh-no! What in hell is my father doing here?"
Bakura shifts his eyes to the CEO. "That pussy is your father?" he asked turning to the teen.
"Yes. I loathe him."
"Then why are you hiding from him?"
"After what I said to him, I want to avoid the stinging pain of flesh against flesh."
"Just take two drumsticks and rat-a-tat his head."
"If only it was that simple. He's the amazing psychotic dumbass."
"A dumbass, eh? That would explain why his fly is open."
Junior was gullible enough to look. Bakura thought he got him, but as it turned out he was right. Seto's fly is open! O_O
"How embarrassing!" Junior blushed.
"Should we tell him?" Bakura asks.
"...No, I want him to be exposed for who he really is to the public eye."
"You're bad, Junior. I like that. In fact, how would you like to meet my aunt tomorrow after school?"
"Sure. Is she crazy?"
"A little. Once you get to know her, she's not that bad."
From across the store, Seto spots Junior in a lip lock with an older man. His jaw drops to the floor. In a fit of anger, he came up to them and pulls the teen away. Junior pushes the CEO to the floor and cursed at him. "Leave me alone, you bastard!" the teen snarls.
That did it! Seto jumps to his feet and slaps Junior across the face hard. The teen fell to his knees flinching in pain and stifling his cries. From behind, an amplifier is hurled to the CEO's head knocking him out. Junior looks up to see his mother standing. He gasped, "Mama!"
"Where have you been?" she mildly asks. "I have been everywhere looking for you."
"Mom, I'm on a date," Junior explains, "and then he shows up trying to ruin it."
"I see, and who's your date?"
"Him."
Junior pointed to Bakura. Anjel turns her eyes to the white-haired rockstar and smiles, "Hello, Bakura. I didn't know you liked my son."
"You know him?" the green-haired teen blinks.
"Are you kidding? I knew him for fifteen years." Anjel places both hands on his shoulders, "Junior, if you want to date him, I don't care. Next time tell me where you're going. I worry about you. By the way, what happened to your face?"
"He hit me," Junior accused the CEO sprawled on the floor.
"Really.....Bakura, take Junior somewhere, but you should bring him back before ten."
Bakura nods, "Yes, ma'am."
The two males retreated. Anjel glared down at the CEO and became enraged, "Okay, Kaiba, on your feet!"
She kicks him to a standing position. Seto groans in pain, his legs trembling to support his weight. Anjel taps her foot impatiently. Finally, she left the store with a lovestruck CEO following her. Before she left completely, she noted the manager, "Throw it on my tab. I'll pay for the amplifier tomorrow morning."
Along the way, Seto still followed the red-haired beauty. Anjel stops in her tracks and punched the CEO dead in the face. "You rotten ball of slime! That was my son you hit!"
"He deserved it for the way he talked to me," Seto snaps back spitting out blood.
"You don't ever lay a finger on his body. If I catch you touching or breaking off his relationship, I'll ring that ostrich neck and break it in two."
"As long as I'm here, how about a kiss?"
"I'd rather bathe in sludge, pervert."
"Oh, Anjel, you know you like me. You just have an obnoxious way of showing it." When Seto places his hands on her hips, he noticed a change, "Anjel, you're so thin. Haven't you been eating lately?"
The red-haired beauty pushes his arms off her hips, "You keep your filthy hands to yourself and mind your damn business."
"Anjel, stop this game you're playing. Why won't you admit you like me?" he coos.
"I admit that I loathe you."
He pulls the red-haired beauty closer and hugs her. Anjel began to struggle free from the iron grip the CEO had on her. As she struggled, her strength diminished. It seemed like minutes went by until she gave up and fell into a deep slumber. So, the CEO carries her in his arms and sent her home.
When he got there, he gently lays the body on the couch. Looking down at her body, Seto nearly broke into tears. He never imagined his beauty queen is becoming a walking skeleton. Her clothing barely fits her.
Soon, Annabelle came into the livingroom with a bowl of rice. "What's going on? Why is Anjel on the couch?" the dark sorceress asks.
"Annabelle, Anjel passed out. Look at her; she's all skin and bones," replied the CEO as his voice began to crack. "My beauty queen is going to die if she doesn't eat anything."
"Thank goodness I came here in time. Here. Try to feed her rice."
Seto sets the bowl down on the coffee table, and grabs a spoon from the sorceress. He scoops up the contents and wakes Anjel up. "Sweetheart, wake up."
Weakly, she awakens and stares at Seto. She then replies in a barely audible voice, "Go away. I'm fine."
"No, you're not, Missy. You have to eat something or you're gonna die."
He brought the spoon to her mouth, and she turns away rejecting it. "I don't want you to feed me, you scuzzball. Where's Dark?"
Miraculously, the magician enters the room looking as thin as before. Seto turns to face the magician, "Dark, she's not eating."
As a response, Dark scoffed, "So? It's not my fault you can't feed her."
"Dark! What the hell's wrong with you? Lately, you've been very mean."
"So sue me."
Anjel turns to the spoon and ate the bit of rice. Seto felt a movement making him turn to Anjel. "Hey, you ate it."
Without a response, she snatches the spoon from the CEO and the bowl and eats the rice. Rudely, she kicks Seto so she could prop her feet on the table. Then Dark laughs at his expense, "Ha-ha! She kicked you."
Seto flinched getting up, "Damn those heels! Anjel, that hurts."
"Good," she spat, "I don't want you to leave here happy. I would rather sit through a boring soap opera."
The CEO mutters the word 'bitch' and deserved a kick in the face by the magician. With a bloody nose, Seto stands on his knees. "Anjel, why won't you understand? Junior is going out on a date with a man, and you don't even care?! What can I do to get you to like me?"
"Be my prisoner," she suggested. "A pathetic prisoner. I want you to act as if you're miserable and impotent starting tomorrow."
Much as Seto wanted to kill her, he agrees, "Alright already. I get the picture. Do I at least get a room?"
"Sure you do. It used to be Dale's room." Anjel claps for Dark's attention, "Dark, take the prisoner to his room."
The magician smirks, "With pleasure, Anjel."
Seto could only stare at the red-haired beauty as Dark is taking him to Dale's room....the attic. The magician tugged on the CEO's arm when he wouldn't budge. Up the stairs, down the hallways, and up the set of stairs, they made it to Dale's room. Dark opens the door and threw the CEO inside. Quickly, the magician shuts the door and latches it. Seto looks around and sits on the bed. After observation, this room had to be a living hell. There was a dresser made of maple wood all scratched and had paintings of skulls and ratfinks in leather jackets. On top of the dresser is a thirteen-inch screen TV and a Genesis system on top. The game recently played is Marvel Land which is ejected and left in the slot. At the corner, a box filled with games collected dust.
"I don't like this place. It's dirty and covered in dust." The CEO shivers, "Doesn't she have the decency to clean this place up? This place doesn't have a window."
The drapes fell to the floor letting him see the evening sky. Seto rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, "Oh perfect! A dinky peephole for a window."
He hears the latch on the door unlock. As it swung open, there stood Annabelle with a tray. "I thought you might be hungry. So, I made a casserole," the sorceress chirps.
Later that evening, Junior came home right on time. Bakura gave his gothic teen one more kiss and left. As Junior shuts the door, Anjel came by, "So, Junior, did you have a good time?"
Junior looks about for a brief second and nods. Suddenly, a loud thump made the teen flinch, "What was that?"
Anjel glares to the side and growls, "Excuse me for a moment, Junior. There's a certain jackass I have to silence."
Marching up the stairs, and heading for the attic, she can still hear the thumping noise. 'I'll kill him!' she thought in a rage of fury.
(In the attic...)
"I want out. I want out. I want out...." the CEO chanted stomping the floor in rhythm. Then he hurls a chair at the wall. "Damn witch! You can't keep me in this rat trap forever!"
He turns his back not knowing Anjel is right there watching him make an ass of himself. Another stomp caused the red-haired beauty to attack with a baseball bat she grabbed on the way. She kept hitting the CEO on the legs, back and sides. She almost hit him on the head until Seto uses his arms for a shield. When he removes his arms, he was knocked hard enough to pass out. Anjel stands up panting and looking down at the CEO. She turns to the door and is stopped by her androids leering.
"You monster," Mystra responds in a hushed voice.
"Witch!" Celtic spat.
"How could you?" Annabelle choked.
"He loved you so much, and you reject him. You ought to be ashamed of yourself," Dark points a finger.
"Who are you to judge me, you idiotic wizard? I didn't create you just so you can tell me what to do. I'm in charge of this place." Anjel snorted.
The next thing she knew, Celtic and Dark threw her in her room and locks it. She sat on her bed and huffed crossing her arms. Two hours later, she fell asleep.
The next morning, she awakens and felt a hand touching her breast. So, she moves it to the side and turns. Next to her is Seto sleeping. In a flash, she shoves the CEO onto the floor waking him up. "Get out of my room!" she yells.
"I can't. The door's locked," he replies hoarsely.
She growls in fury. Blinking twice, the CEO complimented, "Y'know, you're a monster when you're angry."
"Shut the hell up, you bastard!" Anjel hissed.
"Why don't you shut up?"
"In your dreams, sea sponge!"
"Whatever."
"I said shut up!"
Seto backs into a corner. "Why do I get the feeling you're not in the mood to play games with me?"
The red-haired beauty spat, "You wanna know why? I loathe you, and I don't date undersea creatures."
"Huh?"
"You're an octopus!"
That drew the line. Seto stands up and roughly grabs Anjel's shoulders, "Listen, you horrible bitch, I've had it with your attitude."
"You take your hands off of me!" she snarls.
The CEO's grip tightens, "I will not until I finish what I have to say."
"You'll have to wait until I figure a way to unlock the damn door."
"Listen to me, you bitch!"
She simply refuses to listen. All she wanted is to free herself and knock him out again to a point where he couldn't wake up for a week. Finally, she sits still. The CEO continues, "I have had it with you calling me names. It's time to grow up and act mature. You're not sixteen years old anymore."
"I'm aware of that, dumbass!" she snapped.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you! I hate it when you talk to me and you don't look at me. If you have something to say, look me in the eye and say it."
Anjel looks up halfway and turns away. Seto shakes her, his voice cracking, "Look at me, Anjel. Don't look at the floor."
She refuses to turn to the CEO. Later, she heard soft crying. Slowly, she looks at Seto. It was at that point, her actions caused him to cry. Was she that bad to him? For the first time, she sees him crying. This also allowed her heart to open up to new feelings diminishing the hatred and filling her up with passion. She brought her hand up to Seto's cheek brushing away the tears with her thumb. He places his hand on hers very gently. "Anjel..."
She silenced him placing two fingers on his lips. To Seto's surprise, Anjel stands up and moves in close holding him. Timidly, he wraps his arms around her. Three words made the CEO hold his beauty queen closer. "I love you," Anjel whispers.
Seto nuzzled her hair, "I love you, too." Then he kissed her on the head.
Could this be the beginning of a new relationship for the two? Or is this another trick Anjel is playing to hurt the CEO again until he's left with nothing?
