Chapter Five: The Dinner Party.
*************************
"I am NOT wearing that!!" Katsu cried angrily, her face flushed. The maid frowned.
"But Miss Jounouchi, you need to dress appropriately for the dinner party!" She protested. Katsu shook her head.
"No! Nuh-uh, no-WAY am I wearing that thing!" Katsu shook her head thoroughly. The maid held up the frilly pink dress.
"But miss," She began again. Katsu glared.
"NO!! Getoutgetoutgetout!!" She cried, pushing the maid from the room. Kaiba raised an eyebrow from his bed, where he was laying out his clothes.
"Reject another maid's opinion?" He asked with an amused smile. Katsu glared.
"Be quiet!!" She snapped. "I would've looked like an oversized Barbie doll in that!!" She said. She stormed back to her couch in the other room. "Lucky jerk. Getting to wear a tuxedo…" She grumbled. Shizuka looked up at her questioningly from her place on the floor. She jumped onto the couch, tugging lightly at Katsu's duffel bag with her teeth. She gave a small yip to Katsu.
"Huh?" She opened the bag, peering inside. There was a dress already lain out in a plastic cover. She blinked again, pulling it out. A note fell down as she did so, so she picked it up. "'Dear Katsuya, I hope you make good use of this dress at your party with Kaiba. Love, Mom'." She read softly, so Kaiba wouldn't hear. She sighed, frowning slightly. "Well, at least she has good taste…" She muttered.
"But I'm still not wearing a dress." She placed it down, folding her arms over her chest.
"Just deal with it." Kaiba snapped from the doorway. "I'm not happy about this either. The last thing I need is to hear you complaining about dresses. Just put the damn thing on. You only have to wear it for three hours, if that." He growled. Katsu glared back.
'Yeah, but you don't have to swallow your pride and throw whatever dignity you have out the window into a boiling lake of lava, do you?!' She thought silently.
"No." Katsu said firmly. Kaiba glared.
"I'll drug you if I have to." He warned. Katsu gritted her teeth.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me." He snarled. Katsu growled, before letting out a heaving sigh when she saw him take out his cell phone.
"Fine, FINE! I'll wear the freakin' thing!" She yelled. Kaiba smirked.
"I knew you'd see it my way." He smirked, turning to leave. Katsu threw a pillow at him, but it only hit the door as it closed.
"Baka!!" She yelled.
"Make sure you're ready in two hours." Kaiba called back. Katsu huffed, sitting down on the couch with a snort.
"I'm going to kill him, I swear it." Shizuka bit at her arm. "Ow!! Hey!!" She cried, clutching her arm, which now had a tiny red mark on it. Shizuka glared, as if to say, 'Just get it over with!' Katsu sighed. "I am NEVER going to a spring again!!"
**************
An hour and a half later, Katsu was dressed and ready to go—reluctantly. The only reason she had even WORN a dress was because the maids had tackled her, and forced it on. The worst part is, they'd forced her to wear girls' underwear. Which was none too comfortable right then.
'What an invasion of privacy!!' She thought crossly as they left her. Sighing, she stood up and walked over to the door, but not before glancing back at Shizuka.
"Wish me luck, okay? I think I'm going to need it." She sighed, opening the door and stepping out. She blinked when she saw Kaiba.
He was wearing a neat, white tuxedo, complete with the works. A white bowtie, white silk gloves upon his hands, white shoes, and a white vest underneath his coat. His cerulean-blue eyes seemed to be magnified, showing off more than usual. His fair skin also seemed more colour-filled, and his chestnut-brown hair was neatly combed; not that it wasn't always, but it seemed…different and neater somehow.
Kaiba had a similar reaction to Katsu.
She was garbed in a tight, fiery red, silk dress with no straps holding it up, only elastic. The tight dress reached her mid-thighs, with a split up the side of each leg. Each reached up to her upper thighs. The tips of the dress were lined with gold, black and gold dragons creating a pattern on the fabric. Needless to say, it showed off her well-formed chest, curves, and slender legs.
Around her neck was a red-cloth collar, with a gold dragon brooch in the middle. In each ear was a ruby-red earring. On her feet were red dress shoes. She had the faintest hint of make-up on her face as well. Red on her lips to enhance them, and a tiny bit of red eye shadow to bring out her golden orbs.
Finally, her hair had been placed so it had soft waves running through it, with the tips at the end stick outwards. A soft blush sat upon her cheeks as Kaiba simply gaped at her, mouth-open.
"Uh…hey, Kaiba." She blushed, smiling slightly. Kaiba swallowed.
"You look nice." He nodded. Katsu blushed.
"Thanks. You look okay yourself." She said.
"Um…shall we…?" Katsu asked nervously, looking towards the door. Kaiba blinked, before nodding. Katsu couldn't help but laugh inwardly at the Almighty Seto Kaiba reduced to blushing in the face of a girl. Make that a guy in a girl's body.
"Come on." He opened the door for her, waiting for her to walk through first. He smirked slightly. "Ladies first." Katsu blushed, nodding.
"Thanks." She mumbled, walking into the hallway. Kaiba locked the door,
and they were on their way.
***************
Katsu followed after Kaiba as he stepped out of the limo, leading her down a red carpet into a VERY fancy restaurant/ballroom, where all sorts and kinds of business executives and their accomplices stood. Katsu gazed around, awe-struck at the sight. 'So THIS is what these kinds of parties look like…' She thought in stunned silence. Kaiba offered his hand to her, shocking her.
"Shall we?" She numbly took his hand, barely able to believe that Seto Kaiba was acting…decent towards her. She seemed to take in everything as Kaiba led her to meet various business partners. The smells, the sounds, the people, and the colours—they all awed her.
"Ah! Mister Kaiba! Such a wonderful surprise to see you here!" Mr. Yoshido smiled, shaking Kaiba's hand. He blinked, noticing Katsu. She went wide-eyed as he took her hand in his and kissed it lightly. "This must be your lovely date." He complimented. Katsu went beet red, both at the fact of another man hitting on her, and being shock by Kaiba's fond smirk as he glanced at her.
"Yes, she's quite a catch, ne?" Katsu felt like the red would never leave her face.
After a half-hour of meeting and greeting people, Kaiba took her to a vacant table, and sat down. He let out a heavy sigh. "Those pests…" He rubbed his eyes tiredly. Katsu just looked at the white-silk tablecloth, totally and utterly embarrassed. This wasn't part of the plan!!! He looked over.
"You okay?" Katsu blinked out of her thoughts.
"Uh…y-yeah, fine." She mumbled. Kaiba smirked.
"I can tell you're lying." He said. Katsu glared at him through a blush.
"Oh? And can you tell I'm completely embarrassed by your complete change of personality, too??" She growled. Kaiba smirked.
"Yes." Katsu fumed.
"Baka." She muttered. Kaiba just chuckled.
"Don't worry, all that's left is the announcements, dinner, and dancing." He assured her. Katsu gaped at him.
"D-dancing?!" She asked in disbelief. Kaiba nodded.
"They only play one of two songs, usually." He said. Katsu suddenly found the floor VERY interesting.
'Let's play, "NAME THE THINGS THAT MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!" 1, Being stuck in a girl's body, 2, Starting to act like a girl because of their damn friggin' hormones, 3, Getting stuck in a VERY tight dress and having to wear girls' underwear, 4, Thinking Kaiba looks hot because of those damn hormones, 5, Having to dance with that baka!!!!!! 6, I have no way to turn back into a guy, and might end up with guys hitting on me for the rest of my life.' She thought miserably.
"Good." She grumbled.
Then, a businessman in a black suit stepped up to the podium.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! I thank you all for coming to the Kaiba Corp. dinner party! This wonderful event of bringing the Duel Monsters Card Game into China and the Middle East was wonderfully arranged by none other than Kaiba Corp.'s CEO and leader, Mister Seto Kaiba!" A spotlight shone down on their table, both Kaiba and Katsu.
A round of applause was heard from the crowd.
Kaiba took it well, simply nodding his head in agreement. Katsu, on the other hand, was blushing furiously, trying not to draw attention to herself. That went well. Half the men in the room were staring at her, and all of them were at least ten years older than her. It seemed her outfit was a keeper. If she didn't burn it first.
"If Mr. Kaiba would be so kind as to step up tot the podium and deliver his announcement…?" Kaiba stood, walking over so that he was at the mike. Katsu, so far, hadn't understood a word of the entire thing, because it had all been in Chinese. Kaiba's speech was no different.
'What a fine day to figure out that the only Chinese word I know it useless.' She thought. All she new was the word for 'Hi', which was, 'Nihao'. After the speeches, dinner was finally served.
And it was DEFINITELY fine foods. Some of the many foods were boiled lobster, fried shrimp, fruit salads from almost everywhere, curry, roast turkey, beef, and ham, a large assortment of delicious breads, crab, fish, you name it, they had it. Then there was a fine selection of wine and punch.
"This…this is amazing…" Katsu breathed as a waiter placed their plates down in front of them. Kaiba smirked.
"Enjoying yourself?" He asked. Katsu frowned.
"Oh sure. I'm stuck in this thing, and every speaks Chinese, save me!" She rolled her eyes. Kaiba took a bite of his fillet minion.
"Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself." He said. Katsu glared.
"So nice to know you listen and pay attention to me."
"Same here."
*****************
Dinner came and went swiftly. It seemed too swiftly for Katsu as Kaiba dragged her out to the dance floor. 'No WAY am I dancing with another guy!! Especially Kaiba!!' She thought angrily.
"But-but what about desert??" Katsu stuttered. Kaiba rolled his eyes.
"You're making a scene. You're expected to have at least one dance with me, alright? I don't like it either, but you don't see me complaining." He growled. Katsu huffed.
"Yeah, well that's 'cause you're a primly-puss!" She snapped. Kaiba turned around once they were on the dance floor.
"Listen, you've made it through everything else, right?" He asked with a sigh. Katsu nodded.
"Yeah…"
"So what's one dance? If I had it my way, you wouldn't even be here, but I'm putting up with you. One dance WILL NOT kill you." He said. Katsu frowned.
"Says you…" She mumbled. Kaiba let out an exasperated sigh.
"Dance. Now." He growled, taking her wrist and pulling her against him, one of his hand moving to her waist. Katsu went wide-eyed, and IMMENSELY red.
"Wh-what are you d-doing??" She stuttered as he stared down at her with a cold gaze.
"Dancing with you. Now hurry up and giver me your right hand and put your left on my side." He snapped. Katsu blushed even further.
"What?!" She hissed. Kaiba rolled his eyes, instead grabbing her right hand in his, and then placing her left arm on his side and he slowly started to lead the dance. Katsu flushed as she was put closer to him than she would have of ever of have wanted. Katsu couldn't meet his gaze. She just couldn't. Her mind was full of embarrassing thoughts of how this was going to affect her once she got her male body back. If she ever did.
"This isn't that bad, is it?" He smirked, leading her into the slow dance. Katsu looked up to glare.
"This is a major invasion of my personal space!" She blushed. Kaiba only chuckled.
"Just live with it."
As the dance went on, Katsu's blush somehow faded into oblivion, leaving only the tiniest hint of pink to cheeks. As much as hated to admit it, she was enjoying herself. Even if she was dancing with Kaiba.
'What's wrong with me…? I hate him…' She thought. Maybe it was because of the slow song, or the enticing smell that Kaiba gave off, or the cast of the dimmed lights against them that made her rest her head against Kaiba's chest, sighing softly.
Kaiba was needlessly, to say, somewhat surprised. Katsu's hands hand moved from his side and hand, to hanging around his neck loosely as she leant against him. The tiniest hint of a smile appeared on his lips.
'Maybe she's not that bad, after all.' He thought. He wrapped both his hands around her waist, moving as the song moved on.
**********************
Finally, after everything was cleaned up and the party over, Kaiba and Katsu were allowed to leave. Well, Katsu could have left earlier, but she had fallen fast asleep against Kaiba during the fifth song, so he had placed her down on a chair while he tended to business. It was well past One AM before he returned to his 'date'.
"Hey, wake up." He said, his voice softer and kinder than he had meant it. Katsu only mumbled in her sleep, a few locks of hair falling in front of her eyes. Kaiba smirked dryly. "Then I guess I'm carrying you." He picked her up carefully in his arms, carrying her out to where the limo was waiting.
He climbed in, but instead of just plopping her down on the seat before, he let her sit on his lap. She snuggled into his chest, sighing contently. Kaiba sighed, before lightly draping an arm around her. "Katsu Jounouchi…" He murmured, looking down at the sleeping girl. "You ARE something different…"
