Life Scenario III

~ . ~

Following Shintaro into an office on the uppermost floor of Industrial Illusions Yami was about to take a seat in one of two large leather chairs that stood in front of an impressive cherry wood desk when the sound of a throat clearing drew his attention.  Shintaro stood behind the desk his left hand resting lightly on the back of a black leather wing chair his right hand motioning for Yami to accept it. "This is your office Yugi-san.  Am I correct in assuming that your wish to take up your position as C.E.O. of Industrial Illusions is to go into effect immediately?"

"Yes." Sitting Yami watched as Shintaro moved across the room entering an adjoining room the door of which was blended perfectly with the wall around it, his voice drifting back to them. "Do you have any experience with running a company Yugi-san?"

"Aa, My Grandfathers game shop."

His head peeking out from around the doorframe Shintaro smiled brightly at him before stepping back into the office his arms laden with a stack of folders, books and papers. "This will be a little different Yugi-san.  Here are some things to start you off - company employee records, our company policies & regulations, current projects and other corporations we are currently in negotiations with or have a standing relationship with."

:That's a lot of stuff to learn Yami, are you sure that we'll be able to do this?:

::Hai, Yugi. It might not be easy, but we can do this.::

Maintaining his outward appearance of calm self-assurance Yami reached out picking up one of the files from the pile his eyes widening slightly as he looked inside. "Kaiba Corp.?"

"Hai Yugi-san.  Kaiba Corp. has had a long, outstanding relationship with us ever since Seto-sama took over the corporation from his father."

"What about Duelist Kingdom?"

"Hai, we were a bit concerned about that but Seto-sama has chosen to overlook Pegasus-sama's actions in the mutual interests of both Kaiba Corporation and Industrial Illusions."

"I see."

"Yugi-san after the events of Duelist Kingdom we have strived to keep the knowledge of your gaining control of Industrial Illusions and it's holding by defeating Pegasus-sama in the final round of the tournament from public knowledge as per was your request, however with your decision to formally take up your position it might be prudent to let this knowledge be known.  With your permission I would like to schedule a formal press conference tomorrow afternoon after your classes of course.  It would be best as well to notify our business partners as soon as possible to avoid any misgivings towards us by them seeing it on the news."

Placing the folder gently back amongst the stack on his desk Yami assented and leaning back continued to sit in silence aware of the ever-smiling presence of Shintaro standing off to his right side, slightly behind him.

"Do not worry Yugi-san.  I will stay by your side as you adjust and learn and will always be here if you need me."

~ . ~

Hmm...  Mumbling quietly to himself Yugi turned over, ignoring the softly buzzing sound that filled the air, and snuggled further into the warm recesses of his blankets allowing sleep to slowly overcome him once again.  He and Yami had stayed up late into the night studying and looking over some of the papers that Shintaro had given them and he was exhausted.  What was worse he had to get up early this morning for school...

"Gah!" Shooting upright in bed Yugi grabbed his alarm clock from off of his night stand fumbling to turn off the still buzzing alarm before staring at it blankly for a moment and, calmly turning it off, set it back down before flinging his covers off of him and fumbling around his room in search of clean clothes. I'm late!

----

"Hey Yugi!"

Stopping Yugi looked up from the book that he was reading and turned to see Jounouchi-kun and Honda running down the sidewalk towards him an apple hanging out of Jounouchi's mouth as he struggled not to drop any of his books, all of which were precariously held in place against his chest. "Jounouchi-kun, Honda-kun."

"Yugi what are you doing here?  I would have thought you'd be in class by now, didn't you have class duty?"

Closing his book Yugi smiled sheepishly one hand coming up to rub at the back of his head as his gaze wondered momentarily towards the street before coming to rest on Honda. "Hai, but I kinda slept in… I was studying."

A muffled sound drew both Yugi's and Honda's attention to Jounouchi who was trying to talk around the apple in his mouth, his arms struggling not to give up the battle with his books as a lost cause.  After a few moments of mutual amusement at Jounouchi's antics Yugi canted a look at Honda who shrugged and reaching out removed the apple.  Mouth agape Jounouchi just stood there for a moment before fumbling for a book that had fallen loose. "That English test right? I hate English."

"Aa..."  Yugi smiled. I actually forgot about that... : Yami?:

Silence was his answer.

Sighing inwardly Yugi smiled and as one the three started off for school; Yugi taking pity on Jounouchi-kun and relieving him of some of his burden.

----

Upon entering the classroom Yugi immediately blushed and made his way meekly over to the Class President Kikiyou bowing slightly.  "I'm very sorry I was late this morning.  If it's ok I can do class duties tomorrow."

Glancing from the chalkboard Kikiyou smiled slightly. "That's ok Yugi I got Kaiba-san to do them." With that and a flip of her long hair she turned back to the chalkboard effectively dismissing him.

Cringing at the evil undertone to the Class Presidents voice Yugi glanced over at Seto who was, as usual, sitting quietly at his desk reading a book and seemingly ignoring all that was going on around him.  This is just not my day...  Once more sighing inwardly to himself Yugi made his way quietly to his desk which was adjacent to Seto's own issuing a softly spoken 'Kaiba-kun' as he took his seat, and which, might have earned him a barely heard 'hnnn' in reply. 

Sinking into his seat he opened the book that Yami had screamed at him not to forget this morning in his haste to get to school and tried to make sense of all the technical text, wondering idly where Yami got his confidence that they would be able to learn all of this stuff.

End Chapter III

More AN: OMG it's so short and pointless I just wanna die. *dies*

~____~. Anou...initially I wasn't going to use any OC's or at least not often but it looks like Shintaro might be staying for a bit. I need him. ____.

And damnit all, Yugi's hard to write. He interacts with people! Seto just really interacts with Mokuba and plays with Yugi and the others a bit before blowing them off. *sobs* I'm trying to find a balance between having to do Yugi and Yami at the same time (relatively) too, it's just so much easier to separate them. *pouts* So please forgive for the awkwardness of it all.

Also a note, if I remember correctly from the one and only ep. I've seen from the first series of Yugioh! Honda is actually the Class President, but since I'm not basing this on the first series oh well. ^^; ...Actually that might have been in the movie... *shrugs*

Sa-chan, sorry for the shortness and the pointlessness. *dies again* Now go get 'em~! *slaps Sa-chan on the back*

Ja ne till next time~

Ji-chan.

*slinks off into shadows glomping chibi Seto-kun plushie*
