(Lilo: ^_^ thanks for ur reviews and I am glad that u like my 'Kaiba' character! ^_^ I really, really, really want to make something good out of this fict. Ok, why am I trying to do that? Ah, u see there are a lot of authors on fanfiction who are really, really good … that and the fact that I don't want to just post some crappy story …. Ya, ehm, the girls are Serenity, Mai, Isis, Tea and Miho( but there will be someone else in her place *wink wink* because not many know about her) … I don't really favor OC because it's just not the same. Ok, I think I pretty much covered all of the questions that I received and as for the pairing … u'll just have to wait and see! I don't want to spoil the surprise and the whole point of this story/Elimidate. Now, here is the next chapter! ^_^
Marikue: Lilo doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or ElimiDate!
~Misery is the Word~
~~~
Kaiba slowly cracked one eye open and tried to clear his mind as he sat up on the couch. His muscles were screaming at him and didn't want to move … the position that he slept in was very, very uncomfortable. It took him some time to register his surroundings and then realize that it was getting dark …
"10 o'clock?????????????" Kaiba gave an ear piercing scream after looking at his wristwatch, jumping up and running up to his room only to remember that he wasn't supposed to go to work … Life sucked when you weren't in tune with it. After coming to a halt in front of Mokuba's room, Kaiba leaned against the wall, trying to gather his scattered thoughts. His head ached dulled and he could hear footsteps approaching his sorry self. Suddenly, Kaiba stilled, getting read to pounce the intruder. Mokuba left, so there wasn't supposed to be a living soul in this mansion unless …
"AIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" a bone-chilling scream filled the house and Kaiba's eardrums when he jumped from his position against the wall, taking his gun out and putting it to the throat of the intruder. The intruder continued to scream bloody murder while Kaiba tried to think straight while his mind was still half asleep. It took him somewhere around a minute to realize who he successfully pinned down, thinking that there was an intruder or a burglar or some drugged kid wanting money …. you get the picture. No, actually, that intruder was an old lady who Mokuba hired to come and clean the mansion every Friday evening ….urgh, night.
"I – sorry" Kaiba apologized, removing the gun from her throat and putting it out of sight. The woman ceased her screaming and looked up at the teen.
"You scared me to death!" she exclaimed, observing Kaiba with her searching eyes, making the CEO slightly uncomfortable for almost the first time in his life.
"Oh really?" Kaiba's senses kicked in and now he was very wide awake, thanks to her ungodly screaming. Deciding that he didn't want to waist anymore of his precious time, he did a 90 degree turn and began striding in the opposite direction, not wanting to keep the conversation going.
"Mr. Kaiba?" the woman said and Kaiba inwardly winced. In these 10 he could already tell that she was very annoying … and he didn't know her name which annoyed him even more. Don't stare growling! Kaiba told himself mentally as he turned around to face the 'no-name' annoyance.
"Yes?" he barked rudely, giving her his best 'I-can-freeze-you-to-death-just-by-glaring' glare.
"Ummm," the worker fiddled nervously under his intense gaze, trying to hide away the blush that was forming on her face.
"Spit it out already, I haven't got all d…night!" Kaiba automatically corrected himself and made the elder woman blush even more. Kaiba, being the Kaiba he was, tried not to throw up here and now. God, to think, some old hag was developing a crush on him … that could never be good. Wincing slightly, Kaiba shifted so that he was facing the woman head on. There was a slight hesitation and she averted her gaze, then spoke up.
"When I came here, I found a package waiting for you outside, in front of your front door. It's in the kitchen now …" the woman paused, looked at him for a millisecond and then turned around and disappeared in one of the rooms, probably starting on the cleaning job. Kaiba released a sighed that he didn't know he was holding and set his destination, The Kitchen. As he walked through the hallways, he couldn't help but wonder what that was all about. He wasn't expecting anything anytime soon, so why now? The young CEO's thoughts darkened as another idea came to mind: what if it was a bomb? Kaiba pause and thought about that more carefully. If it was truly a bomb, then it would've gone off the moment the old hag touched it but what if it was another type of bomb? What if the person who planted it decided to wait a bit before blowing him to piece … maybe it was remote controlled? Ah, he would be blown to pieces right now! There was a pause and Kaiba shook his head.
"I am getting paranoid" he told himself reassuringly, starting on his walk again. It seemed like forever before he reached the kitchen to find a small envelope lying on top of the table, with something written on the sticker that was probably glued onto it for forever.
"See Seto, there was no bomb." Kaiba spoke to himself out loud and then grimaced. Great, now he was talking to himself like some lunatic! After sighing and shaking his head, Kaiba decided to get himself a glass of water before sitting down and opening the envelope, not bothering to read the sticker. After spilling the contents of the envelope onto the table, he took a small sip of water and froze. He knew what this was about and he didn't like it, not one bit. It was the dammed instruction, guide or whatever from that cursed show! Kaiba choked on his water and spit it all out on the floor next to him. After sitting there, as if stunned, Kaiba stretched a slightly shaking hand and opened what looked like the introductory letter to him. Wasting no time with accepting his doom, Kaiba began to read:
Dear Mr. Kaiba,
We are please to inform you that you have been chosen to compete in our, as we like to call it, little tournament…
"More like torturement" Kaiba muttered to himself but continued to read.
As you already know, you are to spend a week while completing the outlined activities that you will find enclosed … while in your free time, you can get to know the contestants even better. You are also to be aware of the fact that there must NOT be any contact that can be found offensive for a PG-13 rating, for you will appear on TV. Keeping in mind that you will be filmed all of the time even though the camera man will not follow your every move due to the devices that you have provided us with …
"I did?" Kaiba asked himself and guessed that it was Mokuba's work … but where did the kid get his hands on those micro-cameras that he created a couple of weeks ago? Now that was something to ponder about while being mentally distressed…
Also note that some material will be cut to form a 1 hour show, you are still obligated to spend a full week participating and every morning and the morning after you are to cut someone from the competition … however, this rules doesn't apply in some cases (please refer to the manual). The finalist and you will then be presented with our logo-shirts and you will be free to go home.
Sincerely,
The manager
"Sounds good enough" Kaiba murmured to himself and then stared off into space. "No, actually, scratch that, this sound really bad." as he said this, he dropped the letter that he was reading previously and reached out for a very thick booklet. After flipping through a couple of pages, he realized that he was in for a hell.
The booklet had everything in it that he would have to accomplish with a bunch of mindless girls … he didn't even know who they were, for heavens sake! He felt as if this was set up, he was set-up for this and he didn't like it being like that at all. With a sigh of defeat, he got up from his chair, taking the guide and that precious glass of water and headed upstairs. Once he got to his office, he went in and sat down in one of the furthest corners of the room where he sometimes preferred to sit and think things over. However, when he thought, he actually talked to himself … it helped, a lot.
"All I have to do is just follow the guidelines, ask the questions that they want me to ask and then act as if I am actually having fun … " Kaiba trailed off, flipping through the next couple of pages. When he finally stopped, the first page clearly read: Day 1. Scanning through the text, he sighed irritably and sent the booklet flying across the room.
"I always wanted to go to an Amusement Park when I was a child but now …"Kaiba trailed off, trying to die from misery. Not only was he required to go to an Amusement Park with five bimbos … no, tomorrow, he would have to actually be there at 6 o'clock in the freaking morning and on top of that all, he had to pack his things because he would be spending his next 7 days in a hotel with the five …
"Can my life get any worse?" he asked himself silently, getting up from the floor and deciding that if he was to spend these days as a relaxation time, he would spend them well … make the ones around him miserable sounded like a good idea at the moment … but to start things off, he would first go and make the woman that he met earlier pay … just because he felt like it.
(Lilo: sorry for such short chapter but the next one will be long, promise. Also, sorry but there won't be a sequel to "School Project Has Gone To Hell" because I just don't believe in them. I think that sequels kinda ruin it …. Ah, yes, *insert big smile* Kaiba will be in for hell! Now, about the pairings … I got a variety of comments about that and I think … I will explain matters in later chapters … you will see, the ending might not be what you will expect. I personally can't imagine Kaiba falling in love … in 7 days … I don't want to give you the spoilers, but ElimiDate is a very flexible game … I really can't give you spoilers! Sorry, you'll just have to wait and see, ok? *puppy dog eyes* Lol, also, I went for a Volleyball try-out today and my hands are slightly shaking while I am typing because I haven't played it in like what, 6 months? … I had quite a dilemma with my shaking hands … hard to type ... lol
Marikue: R&R plz ^_____^)
