Joey: She doesn't own Yugioh.. no matter how much she thinks she does
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The limo pulled up to the entrance of the mansion. It seemed weird that there was a hoard of paparazzi outside of his own home.. Limosines were everywhere. The car slowed and Seto looked at his company.
"Marryn, Mokuba..are you ready?"
"uhuh"
The raven haired boy nodded. He was used to being asked so many questions by the media. Marryn however, was quiet nervous. She fiddled with her dress and bit her lip when she glanced at the crowd of media and photographers. She definitely wasn't used to this.
The car door was opened by Pargan and Seto Kaiba was beginning to exit..
"Seto.."
He stopped and his eyes shifted to Marryn.
"Do I look alright?"
He was taken aback..she was stunning. He hadnt expacted this question..he hadnt expected to see her at all.. He was too cold of a person to actually respond..right?
Mokuba eagerly waited an answer..a smile curling on his lips.
"You're beautiful"
He wasn't being himself. He shook it off and stood out of the limo. Flashes of light were almost blinding. Mokuba hopped out and followed his brother who helped Marryn get herself out.
She could hardly see. So many flashes, questions.
"Mr. Kaiba! How do you feel about your upcoming year for your interprise?"
"Mr. Kaiba, how do you feel about the rivaling company, Roscoe Possibilies, stating their release of their new Duel Monsters Visual Holographic scanning system?"
"Mr. Kaiba!"
"Mr. Kaiba"
!!!
She clutched onto Seto's hand for life, only smiling at those around her. Questions were directed to her as well..
"Is it true this.."
"Is it true that.."
She followed who was once a childhood friend into the enormous mansion that he called home.
It was a grand room, with the great stairway to the second floor balcony. The balcony was filled with tables that werent normally there. People sat at the fine tables, being served the finest foods cooked by the special chefs. A platform was lit and draped with curtains for Seto to make his annual speech. It was a new year for Kaiba Corp..making it his third year as CEO.
Marryn clutched for her life to the arm of the tall and confident young teen. Pictures were still being taken..
Seto smiled proudly at his brother as he made his way to the set stage. Marryn stood next to Mokuba and watched from below as Seto made his short welcoming speech.
"I welcome you all here in my home..to celebrate another year for my industry of Kaiba Corporation.. "
It went on for a total of a short six minutes. An enormous applaud, and more flashes of light. He then made his way down and offered his arm to Marryn, who wasn't as nervous as she was before.
They went to a special saved table on the balcony.
"Are you hungry at all?"
Kaiba asked with a sarcastic tone after they had just received the menu.
"Actually.."
Marryn was lost in the menu..especially the desserts..
"Can we have..anything from this?"
"Of coarse..money doesn't apply to the host.."
"Seto, I want my dessert..you know which one"
The hazel eyed boy smiled sheepishly.. Marryn looked at the boy, obviously growing excited over his dessert.
"I want whatever he's getting.."
Seto looked at the two and shook his head..
"Whatever you say"
He honestly couldn't believe the two.. Mokuba had grown not to care how he acted in public, either way he'd be Mr. Kaiba's little brother. But this girl obviously knew better.
He remembered when she wouldn't dare put her elboes on the table, use the wrong fork, fail her posture, being the perfect little lady.. But that was only when meal was being prepaired..she was the girl to throw him into the mud when it was raining that day.
Here, her posture was horrible, but fair enough, and she forgot the elbow rule. Seto couldn't help but wonder what happened to that prissy girl from the orphanage.
"Mr. Kaiba..are you ready to order?"
He nodded and told him of Mokuba's usual and ordered it for the three of them. Moments later, the waiter came back with a tray. Three martini glasses occupied the tray, chocolate fudge topped with chocolate and vanilla swirled icecream drenched with wipped cream and chocolate surip..topped with a single cherry. The edge of the glass was lined with gummibears. [mmmmmmmmmmm]
Marryn couldn't believe it..it looked soooooooo goooooood.
"Seto showed me how to make it, then he told his waiters to serve it on the menu"
'Could this Seto be that creative and yuummmi?'
She ate till she couldn't eat any more. And yes, it was delicious..
They all ate it. Mokuba was first to finish though. A reporter came and placed herself at their table..
"Mr. Kaiba..a quick interview?"
He hated when they did this, but he couldn't say 'no'..he knew tere would be at least one..
"Sure"
"Mr. Kaiba, what are your plans for you and your brother this year at Kaiba Corp.?"
"We will release our newest product to the public in a month or two, anything else I'm going to keep confidential until later.."
"That's the only technical question I had for you..now to your personal life"
The reporter grinned maddly..obviously a magazine reporter.
"What do you and your brother like to do during the summer?"
He sighed..
"We go to our summer house near the beach, and do whatever..i still do my work though.."
"Who is this" Motioning to Marryn "Who is here for celebration.."
He glanced at her for her approval, she only smiled
"this is Marryn Day, an ..old friend"
"That's the only relationship between you two?"
"That's it..and I think you've had enough questions.."
The reporter face grew confused..and sad..
"But but.."
"Shoo fly you bother us!"
Mokuba giggled out at the girl..and she walked away rather disappointed. Later He ran off to who knows where leaving Seto and Marryn alone. They got up and headed to the floor where all the people were either dancing or discussing some nameless cause..
The croud consisted of mostly young business men and employees. Everyone seemed to be having a good time..
Kaiba led Marryn around. She felt rather misplaced..she hardly knew the only people she recognised. Mr. Kaiba introduced her to all his business allys and such. She just smiled and nodded the whole time. He seemed rather misplaced himself..he only held these things for the employees sake.
"You seem miserable"
She whispered into his ear, half startling him.. he only sighed and shook his head, making her giggle.. as she pulled him on to the floor to dance. This really surprised him..
She wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulders best she could..he was really tall compared to her.
He didn't know why but he was suddenly enjoying himself..he didn't mind dancing with the girl..he didn't mind it when she rested her head against his chest as the song came to an end. What he did mind was the tears in her eyes.
He pulled her away from him and looked in her eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
"Marryn what's the matter?"
She wiped her eyes and shook her head.
"It's nothing Seto..I just didn't realize how much missed you those years.."
He pulled her close as she hugged him..tearlessly this time. She pulled away with a smile.
"Thank you Seto.. for the dance"
She ran off to find Mokuba. She was altogether confused at herself..
She found Mokuba talking to that same reporter near the now empty tables.
"Yep, Im pretty sure his favorite color is dark blue.. Im not sure about food.. Umm..i know he doesn't really like brussel sprouts.. and I don't know"
He had just answered a chain of questions about his big brother.
"So Mokuba.." The young reporter couldn't help but giggle.. "Who is the pretty girl your brother has with him tonight?"
He was about to answer when she put her hand over his mouth smiling curtly at the reporter.
"Mokuba, come on..i think Seto wants to talk to you.."
She dragged him behind a pillar as they turned a corner.
"Mokuba!"
"What!" He smiled up at her sheepishly..knowing exactly that his brother wouldn't approve of telling the reporter every smallest detail of Seto's life..
"You're such a scemer"
She ruffled his hair and straitened his tie..that made him look adorably cute.
"Come on Marryn.."
He grabbed her hand and dragged her to a table set out.
"Cheeeeeze" He smiled with true happiness.
"Cheese?"
He took half the table.. Cheese on toothpicks, cheese on crackers, cheese sandwiches..the whole works. Yes, he took his pick..
After seeing him stuff his face for a few minutes..she shook her head and joined him.
An absolutely beautiful girl with flawless features and a perfect body..stuffing her face and fighting over cheese with the hosts little brother.
Seto Kaiba really didn't care, it was their image, not his.. He noticed them playfully fighting over cheese and laughed. He wanted to leave. The damn party was at his house, so their really was no way to. It was a quarter past nine.. the party would be over soon enough. He sighed and made his way to the front of the ballroom.
It was time for his final speech..
He made it short sweet and simple..and then bid his farwell to the guests. He then made his way to Marryn and Mokuba, declaring that they only had to mingle for a little while longer. Talking to the last of the guests, Kaiba started to head upstairs, leaving the rest of the guests to his servents. He didn't even bother to tell his brother or Marryn.
Later the two found out after finishing off the last of the cheese. And wandered upstairs.
The secret flight of stairs and they were in the main hallway neer the bedroom she had slept in the day and night before. She wasn't at all tired..she was feeling much better, even though the side of her stomach was sore.
Mokuba led the way, the whole mansion was a maze to one who wasn't familiar with it. He brought her to his room, filled with many curious things..all a dream to a twelve year old.
A huge bed, a huge tv, lots of video games.. big comfy chairs..
"Oh wow, how cool.."
"Hehe..do you play video games?"
"Yeah..but I havent in a looong time..you might have to teach me how.."
"Ok..you might want to change first..im going to, this tie is getting on my nerves"
"Oh, right.."
She left and went back into the hallway..She stared at all the doors that looked exactly the same. The only she could tell from was that one door was slightly open. Mokubas was wide open, as well as hers. She stared hard at the door open slightly. Then proceded on to her own room she occupied.
She slowly went to the closet and changed out of her dress..sparkles scattered over the floor having fallen from the dress. She wore a pair of silk pajama pants left on her bed and a white tank top.. She looked at her surroundings.
'How long am I going to stay here?'
