Seto Kaiba sighed as he leaned back in the big black leather chair that he
had insisted be put in his study. He looked down at the computer screen
with the figures from his last venture glaring back at him. Usually sitting
down and going through the facts and figures of his company Kaiba Corp.
were easy for him and in some strange way relaxed him but not today. Her
image was haunting him! No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get her
face out of his mind, the feel of her skin, the softness of her lips
against his, she was torturing him, Adriana. He shook his head and once
again tried to get back to the figures on the computer.
"Mr. Kaiba?" Her soft voice came out of nowhere shattering the silence of the room. Snapping his head up quickly he saw the object of his thoughts standing before him in the flesh.
"Yes Ms. Cramer what can I do for you?" The woman in front of him blushed quite prettily and seemed that she was having a hard time meeting his eyes. Seto Kaiba looked amusedly at her as she nervously tried to answer him.
"I-I was wondering, um, since Mokuba is over at a friends house for the day, if um, if it would be okay if I could go and visit my family." She said the last of her question a little uncertainly.
"Your family," Kaiba quickly pulled up her file from his computer quickly looking over it he reached the part that told of her family life. "Ah yes your parents who live in Kyoto, they're retired right?," At her nod he continued. "And you have two brothers I believe."
"Yes Shane and Cole, they're my older brothers, Shane by two years, Cole by six, they both live near my parents, they're one of the reasons I would like to go and visit my parents, today is Shane's 25th birthday and everyone is going to my parents house for a small party, I would really like to go I haven't seen my onichan's in months and my parents have been bugging me to visit and I thought since today my charge is not here I could take the train and I could be back here by eight, if that's okay with you."
Seto smiled another of his small smiles and then nodded slowly in Adriana's direction.
"I don't see why you can't go as long as your back by eight, Mokuba should be back around nine so I want you here before he returns oh and have a good time with your family." A smile broke out on Adriana's face and she quickly made her way over to his side. Leaning over she placed a small kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you so much Seto!, I'll be back by eight I promise bye, and oh have a really good day!" Smiling still she skipped happily out of his study probably to get her things so she could leave. Seto reached up with his hand to touch the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him. He still remembered her smile, who would have known that something so little could have caused her so much happiness. Sighing once more he turned back to the computer, he saw that he hadn't closed Adriana's file. Looking at it he reviewed it so that he knew more about this woman who had caused his emotions to become all twisted. Adriana Cramer it said, 23 yrs. Old, parents Edna and Garrett Cramer, from America moved to Kyoto, Japan when she was sixteen when her father was transferred there for his job as a salesmen, it also said she had two brothers like she said, Shane 25 and Cole 29. All in all as he looked at her file he saw she had had a great childhood with her two loving parents and brothers.
Reading about her family made Seto think about his own. His parents from what he remembered of them had been good parents. When he himself was 13 and Mokuba was 10 his parents had been killed in a car crash (I don't really know if they were killed in a car crash I just picked something to tell how they died so sorry if it's the wrong thing). After his parents deaths everything changed he and Mokuba were alone being taken care of by nannies and butlers, but through it all Seto had not left his brothers side. Mokuba was the only family he had left and so he made sure his brother was always taken care and safe. Once he had turned 16 he had decided to take over Kaiba Corp. his fathers business and began to change it into the empire it was in present day. Through everything though he had felt so alone, except for Mokuba he had hardened his heart towards everyone else. He felt his heart squeeze with the same old pain when he thought of his parents and his life after their deaths. He had power and money yes, but his life was so empty he knew that if it wasn't for his brother he would have completely hardened his heart long ago and would have felt nothing these last ten years. He was suddenly shaken from his thoughts from a beeping from his videophone. Turning he pressed the button to activate it and narrowed his eyes in anger when Pegasus's face appeared on the screen.
"What do you want Pegasus, I have work to do so make it quick." Seto hated the owner and creater of the monster cards. He was a smug arrogant bastard who thought he could control everyone and everything including Seto Kaiba; that's where he made his mistake. No one controls Seto Kaiba, especially Pegasus. The silver haired man just smiled his sly half smile and moved so that the light glinted off the millemun piece in his eye.
"My dear Kaiba , did you think I would call if it was something unimportant?"
"Knowing you Pegasus I'm sure you think it's important to you." Pegasus smiled again at Kaiba's anger in his voice.
"I assure it is not, I am having a party for all the top champions from the tournament, you are invited and can bring your brother and a date if you like….
"Thanks for the invitation but no thanks Pegasus I'm not interested." Pegasus laughed and then becoming silent once again looked rather smugly at the angry young man before him.
"I knew you would answer that way Kaiba and so I would like to tell you that this is not just a regular party but that their will also be a duel between any of the champions from the tournament and the grand champion from the tournament," Pegasus saw Kaiba's eyes widen when he realized what he was saying. "Yes Kaiba you will have a chance to battle Yugi once again."
"B-but why would Yugi come after everything you've done to him not alone his friend what could you have offered him to make him come?"
"It wasn't hard especially when Yami Yugi found out you would be there both sides of Yugi's personality want a rematch although Yugi also wanted to just see you again, you and Mokuba, he seems to think of you as a friend, now how could that be?"
Seto Kaiba sat there slightly stunned at the information given to him. Yugi thought of him as a friend? How could that be, he hadn't exactly be kind to the small energetic boy. Still he remembered how Yugi tried to protect and save his brother when Pegasus had kidnapped him. Yes he should go to see Yugi if not to see if he could beat the boy who had be able to beat him twice. He needed to say thank-you no matter hard it was, and he also needed to see if he could kick that boy's ass! Seto Kaiba smiled a somewhat evil smile at the thoughts going on in his head. Looking back at Pegasus he made his decision.
"Yes Pegasus I accept your invitation I will go to your party."
Hope you like it so far next chapter Adriana meets Pegasus and trouble begins to brew and also Yugi and his crew show an appearance in the next chapter how much of an appearance I don't know yet, so stay tuned.
