YUGIOH Kaiba: Missing Persons

Chapter 14. "What the hell was that all about??", Krysonna snapped, now that they were totally out of view from Yugi.

"Ms. Sonato, you know you're not supposed to battle him. Our company gave you explicit instructions......"

"That's not what I'm talking about!!", Krysonna snapped. "What was with all that waving behind Yugi, when I was trying to talk to him??"

"Oh. Well, he was trapping you, ma'am. You see, before you came out, he started asking me all these questions! I wasn't sure what to say, and I slipped, saying you were seeing Mokuba. Well when he asked why him, I told him Mokuba came out to get you. If you said otherwise, he would have caught me in a lie. Perhaps he's onto us........", Lanna said.

"You know what? You're an idiot! I had enough with your screw ups. If anyone catches wind of what we're doing here, you will be responsible for ruining everything!!", Krysonna snapped.

"Please Ms. Sonato, I am so sorry", Lanna said.

"And don't you EVER tell me what to do in front of other people. I am YOUR superior, not the other way around!!", Krysonna said, blowing up at her.

With a very controlled attitude, Lanna stated, "I was only trying to remind you what Charujin expected of you........"

"Yeah, well maybe Charujin is WRONG!", Krysonna stated.

"Krysonna! You should be careful what you say about........", Lanna tried to warn, but Krysonna wouldn't hear of it.

"Oh, really? And why is that, because I might have cameras watching my every move, now? Let me tell you something, Lanna........I did not get this far by being afraid of taking chances. I am absolutely confident that I can beat Yugi in a duel. Yes, I am well aware that by dueling him, it could risk my career, but you think about this........if I challenged him and won, that would give 'me' the title of world champion duelist, making me famous. Then there would be no chance of Charujin even considering ever removing me from my position!", Krysonna snapped.

"I'm only trying to protect you........", Lanna began, but was cut off with Krysonna saying, "Save it! I want you to go back to Charujin. I can handle this myself without you."

"But......but you can't. I have to be here. You need me for.......", Lanna said.

".......no, I don't. I don't need my secretary 'babysitting me', Lanna.......I can handle this on my own. You have already endangered the mission with that mouth of yours. I can't take any further chances. By you staying here, that's risking my career. And don't even think of telling me that Charujin wants you here, because that's a load of crap. Now get out", Krysonna ordered.

There was a very dark and spiteful expression on Lanna's face that Krysonna never noticed in her before. She nodded, saying, "Yes, Ma'am", almost too calmly, then turned and left.

When she was gone, Krysonna said to herself, "I think when I get back, I should talk to Charujin about getting rid of her. I have a feeling Lanna is not as loyal to me as she's pretending to be."

"Hey, Krysonna!", a familiar voice said.

A hint of a smile caught on Krysonna's face that she hid quickly, as she said, "Wheeler......." She turned, saying, "Don't tell me you've come back for more. So have you accepted not being able to make the finals, yet?"

"Actually, I came to show you I got all the points I need", Joey said triumphantly. "And I also wanted to show you something else, if you got the time........."

"Hmph......and what makes you think I'd waste my time seeing something 'you' had to show me?", she asked.

"Cuz it's something you might like........", Joey winked.

She sighed, saying, "Fine, I suppose I'll humor you, but only because I have time to waste before the beginning games are officially closed......."

"All right!", Joey said. He led her to a secluded wooded area, and sat down, saying, "See? Nice and quiet......."

She looked around, unamused, then down at him, saying, "Is there a point to this?"

"Yeah. You said you wouldn't mind us having a.........'personal' rematch, and I thought, well ya can't get anymore personal then here......", he said, giving her a wink.

She cocked an eyebrow, saying, "You know Joey, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear you were trying to proposition me......."

Joey gave a mischievous laugh, and moved close to her saying, "You called me Joey!", and this time he gave her a kiss on the lips. She hesitated, then gave in, accepting the kiss. But then after a moment, her mood became agitated, and she grabbed him by his collar, driving him to the ground, landing ontop of him. She moved her face down to his, snapping, "You got some nerve thinking you have the right to touch me in any way!"

Joey yelped, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She then smiled evilly, saying, "You gotta beg for it, first........"

Joey then smiled from ear to ear, saying, "I can do that!"
