YUGIOH
MP: Aftermath
Chapter 2.
At Charujin Corporation, they were forced to close for the day, as they became invaded by contractors from Kaiba Corp, that scooped every piece and bit from the top floor, loaded them into dump trucks, and were hauled away to be shipped to Kaiba Corp, and sifted through. Scientists were led into the various rooms where they transferred many files of Charujin's to another hard drive, then took the entire drive for themselves, with all information pertaining to the equipment. Other pieces of equipment, including the older prototypes, were also seized. Finally Kaiba himself was led to the card room that they once claimed to be his room, and he took the computer.…an item he also listed in their settlement. He did not want Charujin to be trying to copy his simple card test program that he put in there, during the time he was calling himself Krysonna.
The phone rang, and Kaiba picked it up, saying, "Seto Kaiba....what is it?"
"Seto....where are you? You're supposed to still be in the hospital!" Mokuba cried out to him.
Kaiba smiled, "Sorry Mokuba, I had other plans. There's an important matter I have to attend to. I'll be meeting you at the office soon."
"All right…then I'll see ya there." Mokuba said. Mokuba should have known his brother would try to get out early. Kaiba never liked hospitals and was too business oriented to lay there for long, before he began to start climbing the walls.
A couple of KC scientists approached him now, saying, "Sir…we now have all the information on the schematics of the machinery, both old and new."
"Good." He said coldly. "Let me know when you have everything."
"But, sir....why do you want this machine? This really has absolutely no relationship to anything that Kaiba Corp. deals with. Do you plan on starting up a subsidiary company involving genetics?" He asked.
"No....what I do with the machine is my business, alone." Kaiba stated.
The other scientist gave a wry sneer, saying to the first questioning scientist, "Perhaps Mr. Kaiba is gaining a new....preference to be this other sex." With a snicker after it. The first scientist said nothing, looking at the second guy with panic on his face, worried that the comment might get them both fired.
Kaiba glanced coldly at his mocking employee, then looked away and replied with a smile, "Actually, I was thinking of using this on my employees as a new disciplinary device...."
They both looked at him, turned pale, then quickly left Kaiba to continue their work without question. He was glad to have the fools gone. He knew that would happen though, lawsuit or no lawsuit....too many people knew what had happened to him. He knew the rumor would eventually take off and float around.
He hoped it would simply dissipate before it got too far. But the question brought him back to what he really did want with the device. It brought his thoughts back to Joey....the very thought of him was painful, as he could still feel Wheeler's body wrapped around his in a heat of passion, when he was changed....and then he thought of the kiss they had shared at the hospital not very long ago. He knew Wheeler was going to return and find him again. There was no way Joey was going to just leave it like that. No....he would keep coming, and Kaiba was no longer sure anymore he'd have the strength to resist him.
'With the rumor already spreading around, all I need is something like that to happen. Doesn't he get it, yet? If he does this to me, he'll destroy me.' Kaiba thought.
Kaiba then thought about the device. As far as Kaiba was concerned, it held the key to his salvation....the key to save him from himself, before it was too late.
