Once again I'm beginning to smell. I walk into the bakers and buy a pasty
to eat on the way to school.
"Hi Joey" I hear someone shout from behind me I've never been so glad to hear Yugis' voice. I know he got really confused over his feelings for Yami, so maybe he can help me sort out how I feel for Seto, and Yami can help me find out if Seto feels the same. Thus reducing embarrassment to a minimal. When I turn around they're both there. Perfect.
"Yami, Yugi," I say as I turn and walk up to them, "You're a bit early aren't you?" I cut them off before they can answer. "Look, I wanted to ask you both something, how did you know that you... err, loved each other?" they look at each other, then back at me.
"Why do you ask?" Yami says,
"I just, wanted to know, because, err, well, ithinki'vegotacrushonaboybutidon'tknowhowtotell" I say in a rush, screwing up my eyes and waiting for them to tell me I'm being stupid, and I'll just know, but they don't
"Well, I think I know who you're talking about, but if you're going of the one incident, I think it's probably just lust." Yugi's more intelligent than I thought, well, when I say intelligent, I mean, good at judging people's emotions; it's like he can read people like a book.
"No, I'm not just going off that. I bumped into him in the corridor a few days ago and I got this warm tingly feeling up my arm where we toughed. Oh Yug, I'm confused and annoyed. My heads all messed up and my life's a catastrophe and it's all because of him. One slip of the tongue and my life's on its' head. I really need your help." There. I've put my life in their hands, now to see what they'll do with it.
"I didn't think what my aboiu said was true, and even if I'd thought it was, I didn't think it'd mess you up like this Joey." Rrrrreeaaaallllll helpful Yami!
"Four words Joey, do what you will with them, we can't interfere, but, he likes you too." That's it. Yugi takes Yamis' hand and they leave. I stand stupidly in the street then begin to follow them to school, thinking what to do next, and if what they said was true.
Once again my oh-so-confusing life continues as always. No one pays me much attention, except Seto, he can't seem to keep his eyes off me all day, maybe what Yugi said was true.
Over the next few days I get two more reviews, from ILoveYou, neither of much interest. The two clues included are 'E' and 'W'. So I have 'B' 'E' and 'W'. 'Bew.' What the hell does that mean? Maybe if I call Tristen, he may know. I pull out my cell and try to get a signal. Well, I call it my cell, but it's really my brick, that hardly ever has a signal. I finally get one and begin to dial Tristens number. After a while he picks up.
"Hello" he says.
"Hey Trist, this is Chris Tarrent here on 'who wants to be a millionaire." I say, doing my best impression.
"How did you get my number?" he says stupidly. I think I'll carry this on 'till he guesses.
"I've got Joey here on half a million dollars, and he needs your help with the last question." It's a real effort not to burst out laughing now, I love winding Tristen up.
"You what?! No way in hell Joey got that far by himself!" ooh, swearing on live TV naughty Tristen.
"Tristen you are aware this program is recorded live, anyway, on with the show. Joey will have 60seconds to tell you the question and receive your answer." How dumb is he? He hasn't worked this out yet?
"Hey Trist. I've got three letters and have to guess the fourth then work out what the answer is. The letters are 'B' 'E' and 'W'" I think I'll drop the act when he next lets me speak.
"O.K. Joey. Very funny joke. I watch that show and they never ask that sort of question, not even right at the end. Now do you have a reason for calling me?" oOo, nice going Tristen, didn't know you watched that show, oh well, Blackmail, Hehehe! Now to the reason I called you.
"Err, yeah, glad you liked my impression. There is a reason I called you, I want to know what you think of that question." Will my little joke have got him mad enough to not answer? I hope not, he's good with this sort of thing, not as good as Yugi, but better than me.
"Err, and you repeat the question? I don't get it." Why did I call Tristen? If there were a desk here I would be banging my head on it!
"I've got three letters out of four. The letters are 'B' 'E' and 'W'. What's the last letter, and if it's a abreaction, what's it stand for?" there's a lot of rummaging on the other line, a scribbling sound, a few 'ums' and 'ars' then
"'BEWD!" He yells excitedly.
"Come again?" I say
"Honestly Joey, duel monsters, BEWD, Blue Eyes White Dragon! You should know that!" Blue Eyes? But, then, that would mean those reviews came from... but that would all fit, everything he said makes scene now!
"Thanks Trist! I owe you big time!" I shout as I hand up and begin to run towards Kaiba Corp.
As I reach the skyscraper in the center of Domino I slow down, waltzing into the biggest company in all of Japan and into the office of a multi- billionaire, who until five minutes ago you hated and saying that you love him when there is a possibility those reviews came from someone else is not the easiest thing to do.
I walk into the foyer and look around for an information desk, he should really have this place signposted, but then, I think, he probably doesn't have idiotic street rats in here everyday. I spot a desk with a slightly shaking businessman in front of it. As I approach it, I slow to listen to the man's gibbering.
"Mr. Kaiba was very insistent that I put the message into his hands personally," the man garbles, "He said I'd be out of a job if I didn't." I finally reach the desk and the man looks at me. "Get out of here while you still can, a nice young man like you doesn't want to be here, you'll be slaughtered by the boss." Right. Seto lets some odd people in here. I look at his badge, market research; I'll have to ask Seto about him later. I push past him and tap the receptionist on the shoulder to alert her to the need to do her job, rather than polish her nails.
"What?" she says rudely, why does Seto employ these people?
"I'm here to see Mr. Kaiba." I state. A man runs close behind me, his head in a pile of papers and a few seconds later I here a large amount of cursing and a very angry voice that's usually directed at me. I turn to see Seto yelling at this guy on the floor, as I glance back to the receptionist I see the nail varnish has vanished and she now looks very formal, she catches me looking and puts a finger to her lips, going back to whatever she was typing. The guy on the floor looks as though he's having a nervous breakdown, and I know how he feels, but he was the one stupid enough to run into his boss, and by the way no one is paying attention, this is a regular occurrence. Oh well, do I care?
A small black haired boy runs out of a side room and up to Seto.
"Seto, Mr. Davis." He says as he reaches the scene. "What happened?" Innocent Mokuba. I feel sorry for him sometimes, though most of the time I envy him.
"This idiot seems to think it's ok to not look where he's going when he's running round my corporation. That in it's self is enough to lose him his job, which he already has." Seto spat at the guy, not looking at Mokuba, and then he spots me. Walking past the guy on the floor he heads in my direction. The receptionist has just looked at me, as in, in a new light, and I can see in her eyes that she thinks I'm about to get the shit beaten out of me.
"And what would you be doing here, mutt?" he says, backing me against the desk.
"I'm here to see you, in private," I add, as I see several people watching us, evidently members of the public don't often get this treatment, or maybe it's 'cause I'm not budging under his icy glare that's... not there anymore... Seto's obviously noticed me watching his employees as he turns and says in a deadly calm voice,
"This lot of gibbering idiots are going to have all the time in the world to eaves drop if they don't get on with their jobs," his tone is nothing new to me, and I know it's only a facade, well, I hope it is. "Come to my mansion at 8.30 tonight," he whispers quietly so only I can hear him. "And don't ever bother coming here to annoy me with your pathetic whining again, now get out, you're giving my company a bad name, and smell!" He shouts, backing away from me and walking back up the corridor I think he came from.
"You wanted to see him, you saw him, now I'd get out before he comes back, he's not in a good mood today." The receptionist says to me. As I walk out, head held high and a small grin playing on my face as I resist the urge to jump in the air and woop, I get a lot of funny looks from various people, and one girl comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder, saying,
"You were really brave you know, no one's ever come out of a encounter with Mr. Kaiba smiling. Scrap that, no ones ever come out able to walk without their legs collapsing under them." I turn to look at the speaker, a tallish brunette girl with gorgeous olive eyes, wearing clothes that exenterated her slim frame perfectly. Seeing her got rid of the last of my doubt that I was a bi, although she looked heavenly, I didn't even notice, or care when she undid her top button on her blouse, showing of her breasts.
"You want to go for a drink? I've got a lunch break you know." Now what do I say to this, err NO!!!!!
"Ok." I mutter, as she linked her arm through mine and guided me out of the corporation, gibbering excitedly.
"Hi Joey" I hear someone shout from behind me I've never been so glad to hear Yugis' voice. I know he got really confused over his feelings for Yami, so maybe he can help me sort out how I feel for Seto, and Yami can help me find out if Seto feels the same. Thus reducing embarrassment to a minimal. When I turn around they're both there. Perfect.
"Yami, Yugi," I say as I turn and walk up to them, "You're a bit early aren't you?" I cut them off before they can answer. "Look, I wanted to ask you both something, how did you know that you... err, loved each other?" they look at each other, then back at me.
