Chapter 4: Deep-seated Bonds
"Need I repeat this again people? We are looking for a Financial Assistant for Kaiba Corp. not a fan girl!" Serena shouted to the line up of people. "Or what I've seen a fan guy," she muttered under her breath as yet again half the line-up left. It had been well over 5 hours since Kaiba had assigned her the job of hiring someone to fill in for Mrs. Suki while she was on maternal lease. As soon her day had started masses and masses of women (some men) piled into Kaiba Corp. to apply for the job, mostly just to obtain a glimpse of the handsome CEO.
"Next!" Serena called out.
A young girl attired in an olive green sleeveless top and beige mini skirt, pranced into the room and gleefully as she sat on the leather chair. Her blonde hair swayed around her pastel skin tone, her bottle green eyes were filled with pure anticipation as she looked around the room.
"Where's Mr. Kaiba?" The woman asked excitedly.
"Oh he's…" 'I could have some fun with this,' Serena thought slyly. "Well you know even after marriage not even his wife can keep him down, he's probably out womanizing in a club," she replied trying not to laugh as she watched the woman's smile fall. "But don't worry he'll warm right up to you, I mean he even tried to make a pass on me. He can't even keep his little friend in his pants," Serena whispered the last part. "Although little might an understatement for such a big man."
"He's unfaithful to his wife?" She asked disgustedly. "But he does love someone right?"
"Well him being a player and all his concept of love could be having wild, animal sex," Serena answered. "Oh but all the work he does in the morning, he makes up the longed for pleasure up at night," she spoke softly. The woman's jaw hung open distastefully as she grabbed her purse and stormed out of Serena's office.
Serena looked at her watch and let out a sigh of relief, it was her lunch break but she had no energy to go out so she sat at her desk trying to rid her mind of the ringing noise of all the women yelling. It actually blew her away that these ladies shout for Kaiba with more blare than any rock concert audience ever could, even after he's married! Serena placed her head on her desk and began to fall into a quiet nap, until…
"Did you find anyone yet?" Kaiba asked as he thumbed through some files.
Serena's head shot up off her desk and she stared at him as her head began to throb. "I think some people still need a news bulletin that Seto Kaiba is taken, most no wait all the people that showed up were here to work just because of you. If people just knew how cold, heartless and self-centred you…" she stopped as her boss stared at her heatedly. "...aren't, than any wonder you're still popular with the ladies." Serena finished off as she offered him a warm smile. Kaiba glared at her once more before bresquely walking off down the hall to check on the manufacturing of the new activity in Kaiba Land.
"Is the position of Financial Assistant still open?" Someone asked Serena from behind.
"I'm sorry I don't' think I can take anymore hyena screeching for today," Serena said as she picked up a few documents and turned around; all the files abruptly plunged from Serena's hands as her eyes became awestruck at the charismatic man situated before her.
There stood a man any woman could die for, Serena's knees went feeble as she felt like she would collapse right then if she didn't stop staring at his charm. The handsome mystery man slowly walked over to her and held her shoulders to straighten her up.
"Trust me, if I yell for anyone it'll be you," he whispered as he sat in the chair opposite to her desk. Serena gradually floated to her desk and sat upon the leather chair while she attempted to listen to him.
"Um…excuse me, did you hear anything I just said?" The man stared into her dazed eyes, attempting to grasp her attention.
Serena broke out of her trance and regained her methodical self. "I apologize, what did you say your name was?"
"Akeno," he replied. "Akeno Sunataki."
"Alright Mr. Sunataki—"
"Please call me Akeno," he instructed.
"Alright Akeno what kind of experiences do you have to be capable enough to work at such a prestigious corporation like Kaiba Corp.?" Serena read off her clipboard.
"I have 3 business and technology honours from Domino Uni—"
"Hey! I went to D of U! Why don't I recognize you?" Serena exclaimed.
"You might not have noticed me but you were always held in my eyes," he said as he placed his hand over hers, she felt a vague shock travel throughout her entire body. He began to continue about how many other familiarities he had in the business life, after a while Serena zoned out and began to study his features.
Akeno's form was perfect not a flaw could be distinguished upon his light complexion; his silky honey coloured hair seemed to fall slickly over his eyes. His eyes, those beautiful orbs upon his sexy face that seem like broken glass each piece held a different shade of blue. His muscular built torso was revealed through his thin cerulean sweater, which he wore with navy denims.
Serena looked up to his face and detected that his lips were no longer moving, which meant his was finished speaking. "Well it appears you're qualified for the job, I guess I'll take you down to your office and explain the basics to you."
Akeno followed Serena to his new office but paid no attention to what came out of those soft, tempting lips that were just calling his name. She stood straight and tall on her bronzed slim legs, which were revealed from her black mini skirt, covering her goddess temple was a white lace blouse. Serena flicked her raven hair back behind her shoulders and shot Akeno a gorgeous smile while her grey eyes shimmered under the lights of the room.
"You're on the 64th floor," Serena ended off her clarification.
"That's much too far away from you," Akeno stated as he walked closely up to her while she retreated into a corner.
"It's…it's…it's only um…one floor down," Serena stuttered out as she tried to move away from his touch.
"Hearts cannot be separated too long or else the bond becomes distant as well," his cool breath tickled down her neck. Serena's heart pounded against her chest, she breathed in and out, attempting to calm herself down before her heart burst out of her chest. Akeno bit by bit leaned in closer to her lips.
Serena brought her finger up to his lips to stop him. "I have a boyfriend," she whispered.
"Then that's my misfortune," he stated as he lay his warm lips upon her neck and brushed them back and forth before taking his files and heading off to his task. Serena leaned against the wall for support, her hand suddenly swept across where his lips had been a second ago. She had never felt such breathtaking physical attraction to anyone before, her body just called out for his coaxing lips to graze her body once more. Serena floated back to her desk and began to work but not heeding to anything she was doing.
"Did you find someone?" Kaiba's voice brought Serena out of her daze as she happily nodded her head and handed him Akeno's resume and file.
"Well he seems acceptable," Kaiba muttered as he skimmed through his files. Serena beamed brightly as she nodded her head.

Subject: RE: Reprisal
Message: Today Love I have rid the Kaiba mansion of Seto's body-guards and hired our people to watch over him and inform me of his every move. Almost all surveillance has been altered to work under my control; it is so amusing to see people betray others for a large sum of money. Although it's much easier to influence Seto's employees since he treats everyone as if they were beneath his status.
P.S. I pine again until we meet again, my heart and mind still ponder about how amazing last night was.
Kisho smiled to himself as he reminisced on the formal occasion, she had acted if she knew nothing about their relationship, he knew as soon as he had walked in her heart had skipped a beat. He could see it in her eyes. If he had been Seto he couldn't have even told if she was with him or not. Kisho had the perfect person to watch over Seto, an enchantress who was spellbinding and beautiful but also who was close to him almost all day.
Serena drove slowly down the dark, deserted streets of Domino, she looked out through her window and noticed the small house at the end of the street, it was Yugi's house. Serena contemplated on whether she should stop by or not but before she could make that decision she had already pulled up into their driveway.
"Serena! What a pleasant surprise, come on in everyone else is here to!" Yugi cheerfully greeted.
"Aunite Sewena!" Aiko shouted in her cute 5-year old voice as she enclosed her arms around Serena's legs as she picked her up.
"My my, my little baby is growing up now," Serena said looking into her big violet eyes that she had inherited from her father and her messy soft brown hair from her mother.
"Serena come into the living room," Tea invited as she took a hold of her hand and led her to where Joey, Mai, Duke, Serenity, and Bakura all sat. Serena swiftly put Aiko down as Bakura approached her; he enveloped his arms around her waist and kissed her gently.
"If you're gonna do anything else take it outside," Joey firmly stated. "'Cause my kid already thinks nuff 'bout sex."
"Well it doesn't help either that he has a father who thinks about it 24/7," Mai added.
"Well it ain't helpin' either if I got a wife who gives it to me 24/7," Joey retorted playfully. Mai looked at him shocked as she took one of the couch pillows and began to beat her husband. Aaron stared at his two young parents humorously thrash each other and then picked up a pillow himself, but instead of joining his family he pitched it smack dab into Aiko's face. Aiko looked up at him heatedly before she grabbed a cushion and began to chase Aaron around the entire house. Everyone burst into fits of laughter as they watched the two childishly run around.
"Luckily by sweetheart isn't like that yet," Duke said as he ran his fingers over the soft developing auburn hair of his 9-month old child.
"Maybe she'll acquire her father's irreplaceable player-like characteristics," Serenity mischievously noted while she rocked her small baby girl.
Bakura clasped Serena's hand tightly in his, it trembled with eagerness as he led her outside where the streetlights lit up the entire street. "Is there something wrong Bakura?" Serena asked concerned.
"I want us to be like that some day," Bakura stated as he looked up at the dark blue sky, tiny diamonds sparkled as the immense silver hemisphere radiated brightly above, the dazzling moon reminded him of Serena's grey eyes. The ones he wanted to have his place in, he knew that she had a space in his eyes and his heart but she was so unsociable near him, as if she held many secrets that if they were spoken aloud they might break Bakura's delicate heart. His chocolate coloured eyes became misty with heartbreaking emotion.
"But Bakura, between my job and—" Bakura placed his finger upon her thin lips and hushed her.
"I await the day when you run out of your excuses," Bakura remarked as he slowly returned inside. Serena stared at him miserably, she had hurt him, so many times he would hint of marriage and she would arise with yet another awful explanation. 'What's wrong with me? Why don't I agree to marry Bakura?'
'It's because you don't love him.' A small voice echoed from her mind.
'But I know I do love someone! But could he love me back? It's so sudden…'
