I've had like, essays, a GIANT website project that ate up ALL of my weekends, more tests and such and generally, HOMEWORK HOMEWORK AND HOMEWORK!!! Aagh! Ok, got that out of my system. ... I hope this chappie's ok, I had a bad case of writer's block on top of everything else. What you see now is the result of many many revisions and edits. Whew! I'll be glad to get this chappie up. The story starts to get more interesting a little ways into it. So just bear with me for the next chapter or so, and I'll try to update more often!!!!
And guess what? Sorceress Vanessa and Tk Macintosh get a lovely little prize for correctly guessing what on earth joey and mai were spazzing about!
And that is..... a Super Messy Cream Pie Seto Kaiba! All covered in whipped cream goodieness!!! If you pull the nice little string in the back, he says stuff! Like, "Mokuba, you're grounded!" or "AAAGHH!!! I can't see!" I love it!!! And everyone else who reviewed, you get a Seto Picture to pin up on the wall. You can flip the sides... on one side it's ultra hot High Priest Seto, on the other is Rich CEO Seto. Kay? You can use it to gaze at or to throw darts at. winkwink
Anywayz, here is the long-awaited fourth chapter!!!!
(Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN YUGIOH!)
.....Chapter Four!!!
Silent Attraction
Chapter Four – A Heated Argument
"Perhaps." The voice spoke, cold and annoyed.
Serenity slowly recovered her composure, after the shock of hearing Seto Kaiba's voice shattered what little confidence she possessed. That man was going to destroy any self-control she had managed to hold onto before long.
Gradually, she turned to face the source of the disturbance, where, much to her dismay, the devil himself, in CEO form stood, leaning against the doorframe. Serenity gulped as she realized the situation was much worse than she had imagined. Not only was the young company president incredibly attractive (as usual), his hair was still dripping wet, framing an amazingly striking countenance. Serenity forced herself to keep calm as she searched for the quickest way to an exit not blocked by... him.
Mokuba was looking slightly guilty, confused, and intrigued at the same time.
Serenity finally looked back at the man in the doorway, forcing herself to not look at his face, his eyes, hair, or body; she was already distracted enough, and frantic on top of that!
Kaiba spoke, his voice dripping with contempt and sarcasm. "So you think its 'fun' to talk about me behind my back, do you Wheeler?" Serenity looked around, hastily thinking, "AAH!! He heard us talking about him!!! EEP!!! He's going to boil me alive or suck out my blood or something!!! Demon!!!"
She eventually slowed her breathing and closed her eyes. Finally, she spoke.
"Who says we were talking about you?"
"You're smarter than that, Wheeler."
She eyed him, critically taking in components of his appearance, gauging her chances of making it out of this (relatively) unscathed. Finally, she finished contemplating and spoke.
"Oh come on. You never know. Try me."
Kaiba grinned wolfishly. "I'd rather not."
Serenity, sensing she was gaining the upper hand, ignored the crude humor and continued. "Well? What are you waiting for? This conversation is done. Are you just going to stand around all day?"
"No, actually I came to...." Kaiba mentally cursed himself. Why had he come? "...check up on Mokuba's homework," he finished lamely.
Serenity's eyes narrowed as she raised an eyebrow. "Can I go home? Because I thought that was MY job. Don't you have a company to run? That leads me to wonder why I'm here! Your own pleasure? Hentai!"
And with that, she approached him at a fast clip, drew her hand back, and smacked him across the face.
Seto Kaiba, the scary-as-hell Ultra Hot CEO, most intimidating man you could ever meet, glare that could melt steel with an equally debilitating tongue, Mr. I-Always-Have-A-Better-Comeback, was totally and completely dumbfounded.
"Excuse me?!"
"Oh I'm sorry. Was I supposed to act like a vapid fangirl? I think all that adoration has finally gone to your head Kaiba if you think you can just have any woman you want."
Kaiba finally recovered from the shock of Wheeler talking (and striking) back; slowly his eyes grew to mere slits, channeling a glare much like one a cobra wears as it prepares to strike its unsuspecting prey.
Serenity took a breath and realized whom she was talking to. And gulped.
Kaiba, seeing his opening, moved across the room to grab Serenity's wrist. Alarmed, Serenity tried to grab onto the desk, something, to stop him from pulling her from the room.
Mokuba, having quietly slipped away a few moments prior after noticing both of the pair distracted, approached the room, determined to achieve a worthy goal. Well, maybe not so worthy.
Serenity turned and glowered at the CEO, only to see the glare returned by icy blue eyes. Both stood their ground, equally determined not to back down. Kaiba leaned in close, so close he could smell her and revel in her intoxicating scent, and...whispered into her ear.
"You're wasting my time."
Serenity glared at him as Kaiba slowly leaned back. When he was about an inch from her face, he smirked and –click–. Both of them whirled towards the sound, where Mokuba stood there, camera in hand, Kaiba-like smirk on his face. Soon, though, he noticed the ugly look on the elder Kaiba's face, turned, and raced away, clutching his ill-gotten prize tightly so that it would not slip out of his grasp.
Joey watched the news tidbit for the fifth time, unbelieving. The headline shone bright, burning itself into his eyes. "Seto Kaiba's GIRLFRIEND?" it read in obnoxious lettering, as loathsome as the anchorwoman's bright pink lipstick and nail polish, all of which were exuding a lurid and gaudy aura.
The picture switched from the insipid anchorwoman to a video clip shot earlier that day. "What we're seeing here is a direct feed from a video satellite taken earlier today. This afternoon at 3:35 outside Domino High, Mr. Kaiba was seen getting into a limo, only to be joined moments later by a female attending the same school." said the woman.
The doors of the school swung open to reveal a girl rushing out, clearly tense. She stopped short in front of the limo, exchanged words with someone in the interior, and reluctantly got in. Right before she got into the limo, the clip stopped and zoomed up on her face. "Do you know this girl?" the anchorwoman asked. "If so, call into our station and you can receive an all expenses-paid trip to Tokyo for your assistance!" Joey, however, was still staring at the screen, where it showed, quite clearly despite the grainy photo, Serenity Wheeler's face, framed for the entire world to see.
The doorbell rang and Joey jumped off the couch to answer it.
.....Done!
Aaah! I apologize, this was a short chapter, and it really sucked. I am out of inspiration right now, so I hope my next chapter is much longer!!!! I don't want to have to make you guys wait for a short little unromantic chapter!!! This was basically a filler until next time. SO SORRY!!!! I WILL get the next chapter up soon! (the next chapter should be more interesting!) (and btw...... can you guys help Jade Wyvern out?? She might get depression if she keeps on suffering from such lack of reviews.....lol... her fic is actually pretty good. The Two Slaves, that is anywayz, just go read it if you're bored and have nothing better to do.)
REPLIES!!!
Darkhope: I'm hoping to work in some J/M soon... this will mainly be S/S, but it MAY become part J/M in later chapters. Or, if I'm really ambitious and write a sequel, it'll be mainly J/M and S/S on the side... but that's all a long way off. Thanx!
YukikoAngel520 – Well, Joey will certainly be suspicious, but I'm thinking he will be in the dark for a while.
kikoken – Thanx! Um...I'd love to join! I'll check up on it soon! ... Seto IS pretty evil... lol, that's the best part about him! (well, one of many)
Sorceress Vanessa – You're too good at figuring out what comes next!! ...lol ... I love my seto plushie!! (I think I'm going to make a button that says, "I Love My Seto Plushie" with a picture of scowling Seto on it... THAT would be funny.) Thanx again for reviewing!!!
DarkConscience – YAY!!! I got a compliment!!!!! ::does happy dance:: ok, I'm done. And Mokuba has BROWN eyes!!!!! ...(....wait....BLUE?!?! Crap, she's right!!) heh heh......
