Change of Heart
Chapter 7
Seriyuu and Okami
Kaiba Corporation
Kaiba sat at his desk, going through files and working harder than his employees. He sighed, dropping the folders. There's no point in refusing it, he thought. With Kai here, I won't be able to think on anything. Not until this problem is solved, anyway.
"Mr. Kaiba, you have a phone call," Kaiba's secretary said.
Kaiba did a small snarl, then picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Do you always sound so irritable in the morning?" the caller asked, laughing.
"Trisha," Kaiba replied, settling down. "Have you talked to him?"
"He didn't sound too delighted to hear from me. How about you?"
"He's in my class, and at lunch, a little encounter ended up with a flipped table and chair, and a challenge. I refused to talk to him."
"Now you're acting like a baby."
Kaiba grinned. "At least I looked at him when I talked to him."
There was silence on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry, did I push a button?" Kaiba asked.
"You don't sound very apologetic."
"I'm not trying to," Kaiba said, sighing. "Why did you call, Trisha?"
"Business. We need to talk about Suzaku."
"I'd rather not. I'm already in a bad mood, and thinking about Kai will only make me worse."
"Since when did you call him Kai?"
"Since when did you?"
There was a pause before Trisha spoke again. "I have to go, Kaiba." She thought she heard a response as she hung up. She placed her cell phone in her robes, putting back her hood. She stepped from the dark passage into the candle-lit throne room. She bowed before her master, and began her report.
Her master listened, conspiracies within his head to accommodate new developments. He told the others to leave, and ordered Trisha to come closer. He threw his hood back, revealing violent eyes and platinum-blonde hair. He reached into her hood, pulling it back from the inside. He played with her red hair seconds before drawing her close. Their lips held together for a moment before he sent her away. He sat on his throne again, holding the Millennium Rod. He laughed quietly to himself. This will be my most wonderful attainment. "Odion. tell me. Does Trisha have anyone close to Kai that can help turn him?
"Her twin in Moscow, Master. I believe his name is Tala."
The Millennium Rod's eyes sparkled for a moment. "Prepare for Moscow, then. We'll start out at sunrise," the master ordered. The Millennium Rod shone again, then faded in the shadows.
