The Assignment
Disclaimer - I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! and Seto has 'asked' me to announce publicly that he never starred in ' The Business World Uncovered ' , but Carmen is mine.
Part two - How to torture Seto Kaiba
Monday rolled around and a certain unsuspecting C.E.O. strided into his first hour. Everything seemed relatively normal, That mutt Joey was sitting in the back snickering about something with Carmen and Yugi. Tch... why do they even hangout with that third-rate hack ? he said to himself as he took his seat.
Without a second thought, he took out a book and began to read, or at least he tried, its hard to concentrate when someone's eyes are boring into your back. It was really quite irritating, Seto glared out of the corner of his eye and saw Tristen gazing up at him as if he were Jesus or something. " What are you looking at ?" he growled darkly.
The other teen's face lit up, " Aa ba he be do que eh ," he said pointed dumbly. Tea brushed past them both on her way to her seat and Seto grabbed her arm.
" One of your strange friends is acting extra strange ," he drawled, Tea's cheeks became unusually rosy and pulled out of his grasp sharply, going her seat. Weird he thought.
" Teach me master! Teach me the ways !!" cried Tristen, grabbing onto Seto's leg. The young corporate president looked down at other teen at his feet with disgust and tried to shake him off, but Tristen held on firmly.
Joey took one look at Kaiba's interesting new 'growth' and burst into laughter, falling out of his desk. The icy-eyed young man turned and glared at the three other duelists, Yugi gulped nervously and inched back, Carmen bit back her snickering, but some small giggles managed to slip though. Satisfied with sufficiently intimidating his rivals(well, all except for Joey) he sat back down.
Later on, while the CEO pulled out The Bridges of Madison County and was reading in peace until... " Psst...Kaiba ," called Joey in a hushed voice, beckoning with his finger. Grr, can't that idiot just keep his damn mouth shut thought Seto begrudgingly, refusing to look up from his paperback.
" Psssst!...Kaiba!" the blonde persisted irkingly.
Just ignore him Seto thought russet-haired teen to himself, grating his teeth together irritatedly.
" PSSSST...Kaiba !!" hissed Joey, raising his voice slightly, still beckoning with his finger. Seto growled in fustration, slamming his book down and storming over to the infuriating blond.
" What the HELL do you want Wheeler !?" he sneered, now quite wound up.
" Ha ha ha, I knew if I fingered ya long enough ya'd come ," Joey laughed. Seto rose an eyebrow inquisitively Huh ? he growled again and stormed back to his seat.
Carmen had just sat down at a lunch table and was reading a Mars graphic novel while she waited for Joey, Tristen Yugi and Tea to get through the lunch line. Suddenly a certain extremely grumpy CEO sat down across from her, his icy blue eyes boring a hole through her reading material. " Alright, what the HELL is so funny ," he ordered.
" Oh, Seto, how are you ahem doing today ?" she replied looking over her book.
" Grrah! that's what I'm talking about !" he snapped wildly, " Those...those little inside jokes! The fingering, and the 'doing'! I'd like to know what the fuck is so fucking funny !".
" What are you talking about Seto-kun ?" she replied, trying to sound as innocent as possible, but the CEO wasn't buying it.
" Don't pull the naive act with me, I know you know ," he barked, her avoidance was getting tiresome, " I saw you and Wheeler snickering this morning ,". Oh, giggles rose up in her chest with the memory.
" Don't worry Seto, everything will become clear ," she said, swallowing her laughter with great difficulty.
" Don't give me that cryptic pod people bull ," Seto roared, not caring that he was beginning to attract stares from student sitting nearby, having never seen him lose his cool.
" Oh, there's Yugi and them ," she said, gesturing over to her company, exasperated and angry, he stood up and walked away. The last thing he needed was the mutt making things worse. Yugi and the other sat down.
" What was dat about Carmen ?" inquired Joey, having seen Kaiba leave in a tizzy. The amber-eyed girl smiled and replied :
" Oh, he was wondering if we could duel sometime ," she said nonchalantly, " share experience, swap strategies, you know, shop talk ,".
" WHHAATT !!" cried Joey, falling out of his chair, everyone had a good laugh at the blond expense. Of course Carmen had only been joking, but as they say ; simple mind, simple pleasures.
Ah, Economics, the last class of the day. The teacher was having a represenitive from each group present the report. Since Tea was the best at public speaking, she was volunteered, much to her displeasure. " Miss Gardner, please come to the front of the class and read you paper to the class ," said the teacher. Tea gulped, she was so dead.
The auburn-haired girl cleared her throat loudly, nervously, " Um, the video my group watched was the, uh, Business world uncovered ," Seto's head snapped up from the desk and his eyes widened, just slightly, " It was very informative. We learned about the law of supply and demand, which is when people tell you what they want and you give it to them. The business world is a dog-eat-out world where the one with the biggest package wins. We learned its not what you wear, but what underneath it all that's really important," the young CEO face was a twisted contortion of rage and shock, Please Tea, don't screw this up she said to herself. "And the best thing for a businessperson to keep in mind, is not to forget all the little people you've slept on, " oh no, it just sort of... slipped out and she stumbled over herself to cover it up, " I mean stepped on, stepped on. Yes, all the people you stepped on ,".
" Dog eat out ?" repeated Tristen, indicating to Joey, " You mean that blond guy on the tape was...you ?".
" WHAAAT?! That's just sick man ," retorted Joey with repulsion.
Carmen sighed and turned to Yugi, " We should've known what kinda movie it was when Joey said that's where he and Tristen get all their porn ,".
The End .
