Chapter 1- Snowing
The taxi drove along slowly, sprays of snow flying as it passed. They had been driving for around three hours now. The drive should have taken little over an hour, but as the storm had gotten worse, they'd had to slow down. They'd started off at 110kmphr, and were now down to a measly 30, sometimes 40 due to the lack of visibility. The headlights set on high, only revealed flurries of snows, and occasional glimpses of the road.
Kaiba sighed, tearing his eyes away from the dull sight of the white snow, and saved his work, before closing his laptop with a loud clack. He was exhausted, and couldn't bring himself to do any more work. All he wanted to do, was get to the hotel, and go to sleep. He was on his way back to Domino City after a series of business meetings in different towns. The traveling, meetings, and stress caused by having such morons for employees had taken its toll. If he thought he could find anyone on short notice who could do the job even slightly better, he would have happily fired everyone. But as it was, he couldn't, not for lack of trying, and was therefore stuck with the fools.
Kaiba was snapped out of his thoughts as he realized the driver had said something.
"What?" he snapped, possibly a little harsher than necessary, but he didn't really care. He was in a bad mood, and the man was only a taxi driver after all.
"Uh… I-I… said we're he-here, sir." The man stammered.
Man can't even talk properly. Kaiba grunted, and peered out the windows, catching a glimps of a dark shape, and a light through the snow.
"How much?" he asked, flipping open his wallet.
"Se-seventy…" Kaiba interrupted the driver's stammering by slapping a $100 bill on the console.
"Keep the change, and I'll get my own luggage."
Kaiba managed to get himself, his briefcase and the suitcase out of the taxi, and slam the door, before the driver could compose himself enough to stammer a "Thank you."
Growling at the snow that immediately covered him, he slogged towards the building and lights, half carrying, half dragging his things.
"Ouf", suddenly, something hit him hard in the stomach, pushing all the air out of him, and causing him to drop his luggage. Doubling over a little, and reaching his hands out to find what he had walked into, he tried to regain his breathe, then lost it again as his hands hit a frozen metal rail. His hands were instantly numbed, and the shock of the cold sent his regained breathe shooting back out.
"Ugh." He muttered, rubbing his hands to get some feeling back before picking up his gear again, and following the rail. After a few meters he reached a set of steps, and climbed up them to reach the hotel reception. He shouldered open the door, and was blasted with warmth, instantly melting the snow which covered him.
Sighing with both relief and sorrow, relief at the warmth, sorrow at the fact that he was now soaked, he dropped his things at the counter, before ringing the bell sitting atop it.
A few seconds later, a boy of around 20, with dusty brown hair came out from a back room.
He looked Kaiba over before saying, "I'm sorry, but we don't have any vacancies. There's another hotel around an hour down the road."
Kaiba glared at the boy and growled slightly.
"My name is Seto Kaiba. I have a reservation."
Stunned, he blinked, before stammering. "Mr… Kaiba….?"
"Yes." Kaiba said simply.
The boy blinked some more. "Ah… I'm very sorry sir, but reservations are automatically cancelled if the customer hasn't arrived by 7 o'clock. And it's now…. 9:57pm."
"I don't care." Kaiba said, glaring more. "I reserved a room, and I demand somewhere to stay."
The boy was visibly shaking, and said something which sounded vaguely like "Yes sir", before turning and taking a key off a hook on the board behind him.
"Room 9, on the left as you leave here, ninth one along. Would you like any help with your luggage?"
Kaiba took the key, "No." he said sharply, and turned his back.
Why on earth would I want help from a buffoon like you?
Once again picking up his gear, he exited the reception. The cold hit him like a sledge hammer, and he was instantly shivering, as the snow which had melted on him before, froze once more. Shivering, he walked down the path past the rooms, counting the doors as he went.
One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…Ahh!
At the ninth door he stopped. On the door was a metal 9, indicating it was the right room. His hands numb, Kaiba fumbled in the pocket of his winter trench-coat for the key. Finally retrieving it, he tried to put it into the lock, but was shivering so much that it took a few goes before he got it in. Turning the key, he opened the door.
---------------------
Joey groaned and rolled over. He'd been having a very nice dream… about food, thank you very much, and did not want to wake up. But the darned window would just not stop RATTLING! Rolling over again, he buried his face in the pillow, and wished he was at home in his own comfortable bed.
"Bloody storm…" he muttered.
In reality he was pretty lucky to be where he was, in a nice warm bed, instead of in his car freezing to death. He was driving back home after visiting his sister, Serenity, and their mother. On the way, the storm had hit, and he'd heard on the radio it was expected to turn into a blizzard, and that people should stay warm and inside. He was lucky to have even seen the hotel through the storm, let alone get a room. The old man who'd given him a key said it had been reserved, but since the guy never showed, he could have it.
The window rattled again.
"BLOODY HELL!" Joey jumped up, tore off the blanket, and went to the window, opening it, and slamming it closed again before too much snow could enter. The window stopped rattling. Satisfied, he returned to his bed, and settled down to dream of pizza and doughnuts.
A few minutes later, just as he was falling asleep again, the rattle returned.
"Ugh…" he groaned, too lazy to get up again. The rattle continued.
Hang on… he thought, That aint the window! That's comin' from the door.
Joey blinked in the darkness. The door… didn't that mean someone was trying to get in? At this thought, he sat bolt up right, then as he heard something slide into the lock, jumped up and ran to the door, standing against the wall, so whoever entered wouldn't see him.
The door swung open, hard, and Joey just managed to stop it before it smacked into him. He heard some muttering and cursing, then two thuds as things were dropped on the floor.
"Where is the light switch?" he heard the intruder mutter.
Light switch…Why would a thief turn on the lights?
Suddenly light flooded the room. Blinking his eyes to clear the spots, Joey slid his head around the door, and came face to face with a nightmare. There, standing in his room, reaching out to swing the door closed, was Seto Kaiba.
