Chapter 3: First Day
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. And I do not own any Japanese names that appear here, they're just a combo of names I've read in mangas.
Explanation: I realized that many people don't actually know who's who and what is what. So I'll clarify it here. This is based a little bit on the manga and a big bit on the English dubbed version of the anime. Let's just say that this is after Battle City, and that Doom/Oracle, Memory World and all that other stuff don't exist. (Yet.) Now for the names: I'll just make a list of character who appears in this fic. Just to be original I'll go with the last-name-before-first-name way and keep the polite Japanese behavior, though without any suffixes such as "chan", "san", "sempai/senpai" etc.
Seto Kaiba – Kaiba Seto
Serenity Wheeler – Kawai Shizuka
Tea Gardner – Masaki Anzu
Joey Wheeler – Jounouchi Katsuya
Yugi Moto – Motou Yuugi
Mokuba Kaiba – Kaiba Mokuba
Tristan Taylor – Honda Hiroto (Not sure if it is spelled right…)
Mai Valentine – Kujaku Mai
Bakura – Bakura Ryou
Note to Reader: I think you'll get more out of this… err… piece… If you read each sentence and take your time.

Jounouchi Katsuya was dozing off when the incident happened.
Ring!
He picked up the phone angrily, and thought for a split second of throwing it into the wall. His mind decided against it, and he pressed the phone to his ear.
Nothing. Well, Jou wasn't that kind of a person to just sit there and listen to a quiet phone, so he chose the way of action.
"Err… You've reached the home of Jounouchi Katsuya…" He was interrupted before he had a chance to continue.
"This is the dog, right?" A malicious voice was heard as Jou's brain worked hard to comprehend what was going on. Shizuka had helped him to study, and then he had dozed off… And then, this phone call came and woke him up. What a pain. Jou smiled smugly and decided to be annoying.
"Why yes, of course. Of course I'm born in the year of the dog…" Jou grinned mentally as he over and over complimented himself on his cleverness. In the state of half-sleep, Jou wasn't conscious enough to distinguish Kaiba's voice.
"The home of Jounouchi Katsuya, that's what you said. Well, give a message to Shizuka." The arrogant voice wasn't asking, it was ordering.
Jou exploded. The thought of some crazy person calling in the middle of the night and ordering him, Jounouchi Katsuya, to do something! Then he calmed down, and nearly froze as his memory raced. Shizuka… He shivered as he remembered that quiet and shy sister he had, and the face that she wore when he had seen her yesterday. Jou was sure she was beaten up and whoever calling now must surely be the one who had beaten Shizuka. He would not let a guy like that, for it sounded like a guy, live.
"No."
"What? You must. Otherwise she'll lose her newest position…" The voice let each word flow into Jou's mind as Jou cast a nervous glance at the peaceful Shizuka, sleeping on top of her stacks of books.
"No. Why should I? She was badly treated, and…" Jou was getting mad now, and his senses became clearer. Shizuka heard her brother raising his voice, and slowly but surely her mind woke up from its dreamlike state.
"Fine, then she'll lose what she just got. Or to say, what she hasn't gotten." The voice was dripping of sarcasm.
Jou's ears perked and his eyes widened. He realized it was that arrogant bastard Kaiba who was talking.
"You…" Jou didn't finish as Shizuka grabbed the telephone and talked into it.
"I'm really sorry, I promise I'll be there tomorrow," she desperately whispered into the mouth-piece while giving Jou a look of rebuke.

"Don't think we're finished with you yet!" The gang leader called out to Shizuka as the auburn-haired girl ran for her life.
Today was the important day. It was the first day of her first job. It wasn't something to celebrate, but at least she had gotten a job. However, those girls who were her rivals for the position she had right now were hounding her. Not the greatest thing, considering that she was actually working for the Kaiba Seto.
She threw a glance back, as she ran faster and faster. Her feet unconsciously moved towards her apartment, and then her brain signaled the nerves to stop. She swirled around and started to run in the other direction where the center of the city was.
Then she stopped again. She had forgotten her work uniform. A black and white suit was lying on her bed in the apartment. She ran up the stairs and unlocked the rusty lock with difficulty. A minute later Shizuka was in a hurry to Kaiba Corp, for now she was late. But at least she was dressed.
With a bag in one hand and a map in another, Kawai Shizuka navigated through the big city. From fifty meters away she could see the tall tower. The ticking of her clock reminded her to hurry up. She started running against the strong wind.
In a flurry Shizuka's map blew away. The fragile piece of paper blew and then fell into a lake, sinking to the bottom. She panicked, for she was lost without that map. She had no idea where anything was, much less Kaiba Corporation building.
All the people were looking at her in a weird way, so she didn't dare to ask them. Shizuka walked blindly on her own.
It didn't help.
This had to be the ultimate bad luck day.
-
"You're thirty minutes late," the woman at the head entry called out to Shizuka.
"I know, I know…" Shizuka muttered as she stepped into the elevator and took it to the top floor.
She almost crashed into a big cart.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry…" The poor girl muttered again as she slowly looked up to a figure looming over her.
"It's okay. I assume you're new here?" The red-haired woman smiled. She picked up a package that Shizuka had knocked off the cart and put it back.
"Yes. I'm here for a secretary position…" Shizuka trailed off as she didn't know what to say. This was the first time she was speaking to someone from a company. It wasn't all that exciting, but the air of respect and honor made Shizuka behave like she would in school. Except this time, she couldn't slip into her invisibility. This time, she'd have to take whatever people dished out.
"Oh, you must be the new secretary!" the woman exclaimed happily as she started to sort through the mail cart, "By the way, my name is Arizawa Kyoko. What's yours?"
"Kawai Shizuka."
"Such a cute name!" the woman smiled happily as she stepped out of the elevator and onto the fourteenth floor.
Shizuka waved.
"See you later!" Arizawa disappeared behind some white-washed posts.
Well, it wasn't so bad. At least she had made one friend. Hopefully she would get many more. Too bad that she didn't know what to do, except to go to her designated floor which was the eighteenth. She pressed the button and realized she had forgotten her bag at the reception.
Hopefully Jou would have all the good luck that she wasn't having.

"This is your desk, this is our place, and you just talk into the phone, read the papers, sign then and do stuff like that. Any questions?" the brash Haranda Sakura had already showed her all of a day's work in ten minutes.
"No, Mrs. Haranda. Shizuka slowly walked to her desk, thinking that it had to be a dream.
This different world inside, this quiet world with those humming florescent lights… An occasional phone call or two… This world where papers shuffled and keyboard taps were cars… This universe composed of different rules different from everyday. This was life.
Shizuka woke up from her daydream by a funny cell phone theme song. She located her desk. It was brown, old and ugly. The lacquer had worn off on some parts, two imprints of coffee mugs were set in the cheap plywood, and the desk lamp hung on a thin thread. But to her, it looked like a new life.
She shuffled the papers on her desk. There were at least fifty single sheets and double so many stapled ones. She picked up an old pen, shook it a few times before she realized it was broken.
Everything here was so… used. It was a routine exercise, with those humans acting more than robots than Homo sapiens. Cheap plywood, corners of old posters, and an empty spot for the missing computer – she assumed she had to bring it herself. But it was a job, a wonderful, fancy, at not to say at least, professional job. She inhaled the office air before she started to look through the papers.
And so began the first day on the first job of… definitely not the first Kawai Shizuka.
-
"You look tired," Arizawa commented as Shizuka decided to sit beside her at the coffee pause. After all, Arizawa was the only one that Shizuka knew. She knew for sure that Haranda would probably wrinkle her nose at Shizuka sitting beside her, besides, Arizawa was quite nice.
"Yeah…" Shizuka trailed off. Why did she always do that when Arizawa was there?
"First day, it's a new world in here. Welcome, honey. Anyway, you'll get used to this," Arizawa grinned and took a big bite in a chocolate muffin.
"That looks good," Shizuka commented with her brain on something else. Yet another lame thing said to a future friend. This had to be the worst day ever.
"It sure is. Wanna have some?" Arizawa smiled but Shizuka declined the generous offer, mumbling that she had money herself.
After getting a cup of coffee and a chocolate muffin (because Arizawa so wanted Shizuka to try some), she relaxed into her seat and let her ears catch the gossip. It was a trick, or rather, skill that she had learned in school after being so invisible for so many years.
"I heard there is this new one coming in a week…"
"What?! You mean there will be yet another one coming?"
"We have enough with one personal secretary…"
"Didn't you see Mr. Kaiba go insane? Another one will drive him into the asylum!"
"Shush! Don't say that about our boss…"
"I heard you. Yes, there will be a new one coming in a week. No, don't look at me like that," a black-haired man in a stylish suit was sharply reprimanding the gossiping staff.
The people there seemed to have quite a big reserve of respect for him, for some of them even stood up and bowed. Others weren't quite so respectful, just nodding and continuing to sip their coffee while nodding off to a nap.
"It's the secondary big boss. Hikari Kazushi," Arizawa whispered as she stood up and bowed while nudging Shizuka to do the same.
He turned around and stared Shizuka right in the eye before she bowed and stared at her intently, as if he was daring her to stare back. Shizuka, having been taught good manners all of her life, looked down and kept her mouth quiet, even if she really wanted to test the boundaries. This wasn't the time for it though; this was the time for respect and admiration.
He seemed satisfied by her graceful appearance and moved on to inspect some other workers who weren't up and bowing.
Shizuka was safe from this powerful and quite dangerous man, for this time. Before she had time to think, Arizawa poked and mentioned to bow again as Hikari left the room.
-
Fifty single papers signed, hundred stapled one signed. Some of the requests were so outrageous, but none actively went against the rules, so they had all to be passed onto the great, grand Mr. Kaiba.
Shizuka sighed as she looked through the last paper, which was a lawsuit claiming that Kaiba Corp. had stolen property from another company in order to build the Grand Kaiba Land.
Did the guy have to be so full of himself, naming everything after him? Shizuka thought as she passed on this file, while taking a sip out of her coffee cup. To her disappointment it showed to be empty.
An afternoon's hard work was done, and she had worked two hours late. Arizawa had mentioned that semi-boss Hikari would surely watch Shizuka for at least two days, so she'd better finish her work. Shizuka had gratefully accepted this advice and stayed late.
Anyway, she'd risk wrath in any way possible, either from Jou or the company. Shizuka made a mental apology to Jou as she finished the last of her papers, an order about a laptop computer loan to her. When she looked at the signature, she recognized the fancy and overdone writing by Arizawa Kyoko.
"Thanks, Arizawa," Shizuka thought as she happily signed on the paper and answered another ten tedious calls before picking up her bag and locking her cubicle for the day.
She stepped into the elevator and almost pushed the basement button stead of ground floor.
-
"I demand to be in service today!" a green-haired woman was angrily spitting at the poor woman behind the reception desk.
"I'm sorry miss, but this contract here says that you will start work in a week," the woman tried to reply, but got cut off by another tantrum.
"I will not tolerate this! Where is Kaiba? He promised that I could work today!" The woman snarled at the lady who shrank back in her seat. Never had there been such a woman… The reception lady cringed as she thought of her future in a week.
The green-haired woman with the icy blank eyes cast a glance in the lobby, and she caught a tired rabbit in her eye. She excused herself and rushed to put herself in front of Shizuka with a dignity of a high-class woman.
"You're the new secretary, aren't you…?" the low, musical voice was like toxic nectar that compelled the tired Shizuka to reply.
"Yes… This is my first day…" Shizuka replied as her eyelids drooped.
"And what's your name, dear?" The alluring scent of perfume confused the poor girl so much she simply had to reply.
"Kawai Shizuka," Shizuka answered. In a second she woke up to her usual self and hurried past the woman, afraid of what would happen if it got too dark… If Jou had to get out there to meet her again. No, she mustn't make such troubles for her big brother, he had enough hardships as it was.
"Ah… Kawai Shizuka… That name I'll keep in mind." The woman looked at the spot Shizuka had left long after she had rushed home. She carelessly filed her nails as she echoed the name in her mind and the lobby.
Unknowingly, Kawai Shizuka had gotten her first enemy on her first day on her first job.

A/N: I have no idea how a corporation works. Yes, my uncle happens to be CEO of a small electronics company, but I still don't know. It was just estimation with experience of the DFCI "daycare". (Please professors, don't get insulted. Plus, I do have to credit them for the idea later on in the story…)
Appreciation Note: I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed up to now. Thank you all… To show appreciation, I have decided to actually "answer" a question here.
My preferred coupling? I really don't want to tell because it will ruin the story. Although Kaiba and Kisara (Memory World) is perfectly fine with me. Oh, Jou and Mai isn't that bad either (hint hint)… By the way, Anzu will have her first appearance in the next chapter (without any Shizuka, that is)…
Please review! You know the deal. Three reviews and chapter four gets posted. If not, then I'll let this remain for two weeks or so before I delete it. (I have a tendency to delete stories, because I think they're just awful.)
