Sapna leisurely strolled out of the bathroom, red and gold sari trailing behind her as she headed back into the hallway to the office. She froze, however, when she saw a tall brunette standing next to her best friend. She shook her head with a small laugh, leaning against a wall a few feet away, waiting for the CEO to leave. She already knew what was going on, she was a yami after all…

Isis stood and slowly turned around, gritting her teeth as she caught glimpse of Seto Kaiba. He wore a black suit, the jacket part had a flare in the back though, more of a trench coat look. His inside shirt was white and pressed to perfection. In his hand was a blinking blue cell phone, his other hand in the pocket of his slacks.
"What brings you here, Kaiba?" Isis said icily.
"That's none of your business, Ishtar." He snapped. "Why don't you show me what car you're buying?" His lip curved upward, a small smile gracing his features.
"In your own words, Kaiba: it's none of your business."
"I see." He stared at her for a moment, before continuing. "I have special affairs to attend to, if you don't mind me leaving." Seto allowed a cold laugh to fill the air, a swish of his coat and he was gone.
"Ooh, the nerve of him!" Sapna laughed playfully as she walked back into the tiny office, plopping into the leather chair. Isis looked clueless for about a millisecond before sitting back down as well, raising a dainty eyebrow at her friend.
"Why the sarcastic tone?"
"…no reason."
"…"
"…" Sapna finally let out a laugh before taking a deep breath and stopping herself. "Sorry." She smiled, whipping a tear from her eye.
"I don't know what you're talking about, or implying for that matter, Sapna; but I don't like it."
"Ah, you don't have to now; but eventually you will." Her smile widened, as she attempted to calm herself, pushing ebony strands out of her face.
"Y-" Isis was just about to say something witty that would contradict whatever it was that Sapna was attempting to say, but was interrupted when the sales man walked back in. His dull blue eyes seemed to sparkle with elation.
"You won't believe this, Miss Ishtar, Miss Jaboolal…"
"What is it?" The Egyptian began, looking confused.
"A man came in and bought a car, ALL of it in RAW cash! Then he told me to put it under your name!"
"Who did this?" Isis asked, her emerald orbs wide.
"He refused to let me keep my job if I told, ma'am. But none the less, there's
a new car outside for you!"
"I was inquiring about a used one though…" Isis knit her brows in confusion.
"Who would buy you a brand new car, cash?" Sapna asked, looking rather amused. "Who has that kind of cash here in Domino?"
"…" Isis' eyes widened more, if possible as a realization slowly hit. "Seto Kaiba…what are you up to?" She whispered to herself, more than confused now. Sapna shook her head.
"Maybe he likes you?" She asked slyly, the salesman looking sick now that the two women knew who had bought the car.
"Nonsense!" Isis snapped, glaring at the Indian who only shook her head and laughed once more.
"Well, do you want to see the car?" Sapna inquired, deciding to leave denial to time's hands.
"I don't know…" she trailed off as the unofficial 'donkey man' handed the keys to her and scurried out to talk about his commission for an all cash sale.
"Common, Isis. I'm sure Seto's only trying to help…"
"…" Isis nodded, not sure what to believe at this point. Just what was Kaiba getting at? Did he know of her being let go from work?
As they headed outside after dealing with the insurance business, they saw a beautiful, sleek, black car that looked as if it were begging to be driven. On the driver side window, however, was a small sticky note.
"' A payment for letting me use Osiris'" Isis read aloud.
"Wow, a car for letting him use a powerful card? Incredible. Imagine if he borrowed a cup of sugar from you…" Sapna snickered playfully, smiling sheepishly under Isis' glare.
"Let's just go, alright?"
"Alright, I'll follow in my car!"
Many, many thoughts plagued Isis' mind. She was so confused about everything. Seto had already bought her a wrecker for her car and took her home. Even though he mocked her the whole time, he still more than paid her back for the use and knowledge of Osiris. 'Was that the reason why he was touchy when I asked him what he was doing at the car dealership? Did he have the intentions to buy me a car the entire time?' The car she had just settled her self into purred sweetly as the ignition was turned forward. Isis couldn't help but smile though, it was a nice car; and the feeling of leather against her body was a very nice change compared to the out dated cloth of her previous car.
