Chapter Fifteen: A Choice
~*Flashback*~
Kaiba laid in bed, with a pounding headache. He wasn't feeling well, so he had taken the day off from work, but only because Jessica refused to let him leave the bedroom.
"I have to go to work! There's things to be done, I can't sit here and waste my day" Kaiba said to his wife, trying to get out of the room. "No and that's final Seto. Your sick, and I refuse to let you leave until your better" she said, not moving from the doorway. "Jessica, I have meetings. . .I can't blow them off because I'm 'sick'" he replied, crossing his arms. "Seto Kaiba, get back to bed" she said angrily.
Kaiba smirked. "Honey, I need to go, and if you don't move, I'll do it myself" he grinned. Jessica glared. "Fine" she said moving out the way. "But if you leave, no sex" she said. Kaiba stopped outside the door and turned to her. "You can't do that" he stated. "Yes I can, and I will if you don't get back to your bed" she said. Kaiba sighed. "Whatever" he said walking back to bed and laying down.
Jessica then walked over and took his laptop and cell phone, and any other thing he could use to contact people at work. "What are you doing? Give those back" he said. If he couln't go to work, then he would want to see what was happening there. "No sexxxxx" Jessica sang as she walked out the door, closing it behind her.
Kaiba glared at the door and laid back in bed. Great, just great. A nice, long boring day at home. Figures she would take the laptop. . .I knew I should of bought another he thought. Just then Kaiba's thought's had been broken by a quiet knock on the door. "Come in" he said irritably. Stupid maids, always coming and annoying me for something he thought, waiting for them to enter.
The door opened a crack, and a small head popped out. Her hair was down, and messy, for she hadn't brushed it yet. "Daddy?" she asked. "Oh Hailie, don't come in, I'm sick and I don't want you to catch it" he said. The four year old giggled and walked in. She was wearing a long white night gown that went up to her ankles.
"S'okay daddy, i'm sick too!" she exclaimed excitedly, as if it was a good thing. "Then why is your mother letting you walk around the house? It's winter and your not even wearing sock" Kaiba said sitting up. "I sneaked from my room Daddy, mommy said she was going to make me oatmeal. . .Daddy, I don't like oatmeal, especially mummy's" she said taking a few more steps and closing the door. Kaiba simply smiled.
"Well. . .maybe she's getting the maid to do it" he said. "But Daddy. . ." she trailed off with a smile. "Hailie, you should get back to your room before you get in trouble" he said. Hailie's bright eyes sadened instantly. "Otay. . ." she trailed off and walked out. Kaiba had felt bad, but he would make it up to her.
Kaiba had been alone less then ten minutes, when another soft knock was heard at the door. "Come in Hailie" he said, knowing it was her. The four year old walked in and then walked out, picking up the thing she had left on the floor to knock and open the door. She then put it again on the floor, and closed the beroom door. Picking it up, she walked over to Kaiba's bed and put it on his lap.
"I stoles it when Mummy wasn't looking" she said, looking at the laptop. Kaiba smirked. "Come here" he said picking her up and laying her beside him. "You gonna use it?" she asked. "Sure, but we can't let mommy know okay?" he said. "Otay. . .I won't she said laying on his stomach as he opened up the laptop.
"Daddy. . .one day, can I go dere?" she asking sleepily. "Sure, why not" he said. "Daddy, one day when I'm smart, can I help you?" she asked. "Your already smart, and yes" he stated. "Daddy, one day can I work there? And if so, can I be incharge of Mokubaa?" she asking smiling. Kaiba laughed. "Sure you can work there. . .and, perhaps you could watch over Mokuba and what he does" he said.
Hailie laughed. "I can't waits to tell Mokubaa" she laughed. (AN: She's supposed to say his name like that "mokubaa") "Yes, I'm sure he'll be excited with that news right Hailie?" he asked her.
"Right?" he asked again when she had said. When he didn't hear her say anything, he looked down to find her aleep. "Sleep tight little one" he was able to say before Jessica walked in, catching him readhanded. . .
~*End Of Flashback*~
Kaiba smirked as the limo drove home. Jessica was furious that I had some how gotten the laptop. . .though it didn't take her long to figure out how. Was okay, she said no sex. . .but I have my ways he thought grinning. He looked out the window, the rain falling down as he tried to get home as quick as possible.
~*~
Hailie entered her room, putting the bracelet in her drawer. She was now bored with nothing to do. She could go back and see Malik, but she didn't feel up to it, she hated that awkward silence. All this awkwardness because she had left? And found out the truth? Was she not seventeen? Did she not have the right to know? And she didn't have to live at home! She would be eighteen in August.
She heard a knock at the door just then. "Come in" she said. A short maid walked in. "Miss, supper is ready" she said. Hailie sighed. "I'm not too hungry, tell mom i'll grab something later" Hailie said. "Miss, Master Kaiba shall be there, along with the younger Master, your mother says you must be there" she said. Hailie smiled slighltly. Mokuba? He's going to be there? I guess it won't be that bad she thought. "Fine, I'm coming" she said walking out.
Hailie ran down the stairs practicly. She hadn't seen Mokuba in a long time and he always understood her. Their age difference was only 11-12 years apart, so he still had some understanding of being a teen. Getting down the stairs she walked into the dinning room table, to find her mom, Mokuba and Kaiba sitting down.
"Where's Marik?" she asked. "He left. . .Hailie, show respect, he is your father, you will not call him by his first name" Jessica said grabbing some salad. "Yes Mom" she said smiling as her eyes fell on Mokuba. " Hey Mokubaa" she said, saying it how she used to. "Hey Haalie" he said changing her name slightly like he always did. Hailie walked to the table and took the seat beside him.
"How have ya' been? I haven't seen you in a while" she said. "Business trip for Kaiba corp. Seeing as Kaiba coudn't go, I went" he stated. "Oh sounds exciting, did you have fun" she asked. "Well, for the part I wasn't working" he said. She laughed. "Well if you don't like it, get a job you enjoy" she said. "Nah. . .plus the business trips are cool, I met someone" he said smiling.
"Oh My God! You did? What's she like? Can I see her picture? How come you didn't tell me right away?" she asked, millions of questions flying at him. " No worries Haallie, I'll show you her picture and stuff later" he said. "Great! I can't wait, if you like her, she must be cool" Hailie said starting to eat the food on her plate.
"So hows business Seto. . .I mean, I've been away for a month and half" Mokuba said. "It's quite good. . .but one of the people quit, and I can't find anyone to replace him" Kaiba said. Maybe if she knows, she'll be interrested. . .like she once was Kaiba thought. "Oh really? Hmm, I'm sure we can find someone, when people find out, applications will be coming in like nothing" Mokuba said. "Perhaps, but it will be hard to find someone reliable like he was. People these days, are so lazy" Kaiba said.
"Your right. . .but we'll find someone" Mokuba said. Hailie sat listening to the conversation. A part of her wanted to ask. . .but the other part told her there was no point, after everything she did, he would surely say no. "Um, can I be excused, I need to do something" hailie said. "But it's supper Hailie. . .and Mokuba just came home" Jessica said. "I know mom. . .but I'm not hungry, and anyways, I'll be talking to Mokuba later" she said. "Well alright" Jessica said watching Hailie walk away. "Come to my room when your done Mokuba" she said disapearing.
~*~
Hailie got upstairs and instantly ran to her desk and turned on her computer. When it was on, she went on the net and went to Kaibacorp.com. (AN: Not an actual site. . .well could be, but I don't own it lol) Okay she thought. She then clicked on "Available jobs" and sure enough, there it was, the job they had been talking about. She then clicked on it and it brought her to a new page where she could apply.
She put everything she needed, but she put a false name. Instead of Hailie Ishtar, she put Kailie Ishmare. She then click sent and it was off. "And who is Kailie Ishmare?" she heard a voice say behind her. Hailie turned around to find Mokuba there, a smirk on his face. "How did you get in whithout me knowing?" she asked suprised. "I have my ways" he stated. "Aren't you supposed to be eating instead of bothering me?" she asked annoyed. "Meh, not hungry, besides, I knew you were going to do this, and I wanted to see what you were going to put" Mokuba said.
"Well there you go" Hailie said. "How come you didn't say anything at the kitchen table?" he asked. "I don't know. . .i think he would of said no. . .I think he hates me or something" she stated. "I doubt he hates you. . . and I'm sure he would of given you the job. Now he's going to hire Kailie Ishmare. . .well might. And if he does, what are you going to do? Desguise yourself? Please, we both know Seto can figure it out" Mokuba said.
"You are so annoying!" Hailie said smiling. "Well. . .if I'm so annoying" he said getting up. "Then I'll go tell Seto" Mokuba said. She gasped. "You wouldn't!" she said. "Hailie, I would, mostly because I'm bored though, and I know if I don't do this, then you won't get it" Mokuba said inching towards the door. "Mokuba don't you dare" Hailie warned. "Why not though?" he asked. "Because, when I want him to know, I'll tell him okay?" she asked. "Fine, anyways, I have to go, Malika is waiting" he said.
"Ohhhhh is her name Maliiiikkaaa?" she asked. "Yes it is"Mokuba stated. "You promised I could see her picture" she said. "Here, keep it, I have a few others" he said handing it to her. "Thanks" she said. "Welcome, anyways, see you later" He said giving her a hug and walking out.
Hailie looked at the picture she just received. The women looked about twenty-five years old. She had short black hair and big green eyes. She looked about average height, and had a thin lightly tanned body. She seems pretty and cool Hailie thought putting the picture on her desk.
"Hey Hailie" she heard another voice. She rolled her eyes. Why do people always have to come and see me? She thought. She turned around, and found it to be Malik. "Oh hey Malik" she said smiling. She had to admit the day had gone well, and with him here, it just made things brighter.
Malik thought for a moment. So is this going to be the end? When I get what I want? I mean. . . DAMN! Who cares! I get what I want, the bracelet, and I won't ever have to see these idiotic people! They will beg for their life. But even so. . .what about her? No wait. . .doesn't matter. . .or does it. . .stupid brain! Why won't it work? He yelled furiously in his mind.
"Malik. . .are you okay?" she asked walking up to him. "Yeah. . .fine, just thinking" he stated. "Oh okay. . ." she trailed off. "So, did you get the bracelet?" he asked her. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer--or have it for that matter. He knew it would change things.
If you would of asked him last week or so, he would of taken it gladly, but now it was different. . .everything had changed. Everything he was sure about---it all changed. "Yeah, I found it, though I don't know why mom hid it so well" she said. "Do you want it?" she asked.
Malik thought. Did he really want it?
