Chapter 2: Let the battle begin
Finally now that my evil math midterm is over with, I can update. I've decided to probably make my updates weekly, either Friday or Saturday depending on which day I'm free, if I'm really busy it won't pass two weeks..hopefully.
Well hope you enjoy this next chapter.
~~
As the months went by September rolled into October and then to November and the end of term tests were starting to loom closer and closer. Frantic students tried to cram the night before or were getting tutors and staying behind to ask teachers. Kumiko was at home tomorrow her exams began. She hadn't forgotten her challenge against Seto. She would prove to him once in for all who was the better and she would never let him forget it.
She opened her books and quickly did a final review before putting them aside and going to bed for a good nights sleep.
~~
At two in the morning, Seto Kaiba was still tapping away at his labtop. 'Maybe I should sleep. I do have that test in the morning after all.' He looked at the list of things he still had to do, 'pft I don't need to study, I know all the crap anyways.' With that he continue typing away.
~~
Right before Christmas break, the results of the exams came out and the top students who made honors were posted. There was a huge commotion. "Can you believe it? Seto Kaiba's not first this time."
Seto frowned at this, 'what? Who beat me?' he thought as he made his way through the crowd. His eyes widened, 'No way!'
In second place was Kaiba, Seto,
In First, Kaiou, KUMIKO
"Told you so." Kumiko said as she pushed past Seto and into the crowd.
"Wait a minute, come back here!" he shouted as he tried to catch up with her. She stopped and waited for him to get out. "There's no way you could have beaten me fairly."
She tilted her head and looked at Seto as if he was stupid. "I'm sorry are you blind? I thought the paper read quite clearly in black and white that I, Kumiko Kaiou, beat you Seto Kaiba fair and square. What else do you want?"
"A rematch of course." He stated "I demand a more fair competition with more neutral judges."
"Are you saying I bribed the teachers into putting me in first instead of you?" she said as her eyes narrowed
"There's no other way you could have beaten.." he was cut mid sentence as a stinging pain went to his cheek as the crack of Kumiko's hand made it across his face. Seto raised his hand to his cheek, "What the hell was that?"
"Seto Kaiba, there are certain things you can say in front of me and things that you cannot. Calling me a cheater is one of them. If you dare say something like that to me again I will guarentee your face will be rearranged." And with a huff she turned and left.
~~
Later that day, Kumiko was sitting in the boardroom waiting for the business meeting to start. Everyone was there already all that was missing was one person, Seto Kaiba. Kumiko filed her nails as they waited.
Finally after another ten minutes had passed the doors opened to reveal Seto Kaiba in his usual white trenchcoat. Kumiko got up and walked towards him and held out her hand, "Thank you ever so much for arriving on time." She said sarcasm dripping on every word.
They sat across from each other as the business slowly went on its way. "As I was saying," said Seto "Our company will be taking about 75 percent of the profits."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes what is it?" said a very irritated Kaiba
"What do you mean 75 percent? That means Kaiou Enterprises only gets 25 percent."Kumiko said
"Good job Miss Kaiou, you can count." Kaiba said with a snide
"I may not know much about business but I happen to know that means our company will be making barely enough to cover the expenses. That's very unfair since we're doing most of the work."
Ryo pulled on Kumiko's sleeve trying to get her to stop before she did something really rash. "Miss Kaiou I assure you that Kaiba corporation is doing just as much as Kaiou enterprises, in fact much more then you can possibly imagine. Besides these were conditions that were already solved when I spoke with your father."
"Well I'm sorry I haven't heard about that and I'm not my father so I believe that we should be getting more then just a measly 25 percent."
"Miss Kaiou I knew you had a mouth to get good grades in school but in the office it's another case." With that he received his second slap of the day.
"Kumiko!" Ryo shouted, "I'm terribly sorry Mr. Kaiba. Kumiko apologize now."
"I'm sorry." She said as she put her arms behind her to bow. During the bow, she secretly raised her middle finger.
Unknown to Kumiko, Seto Kaiba saw it but said nothing.
~~
"You what?" shouted her father, "You slapped Seto Kaiba, the president of Kaiba Corporations in which I am currently working with to settle this new contract? And you gave him the finger?"
"Twice."
"TWICE?"
"Well not the finger. Besides, he called me a cheater in front of so many people. I have pride and just because we're doing business doesn't mean I have to lick his shoes and kiss his ass." She shouted back
"Don't you dare talk to me with that tone of voice young lady. Normally I let you get away with these types of things, but Seto Kaiba is one of our big associates. I demand you go and apologize to him."
"Over my dead body"
"Kumiko!"
"Fine! Have it your way, you always do anyways." And with her usual fury she left her father's den slamming the door and off to her room and called up Seto Kaiba.
~~
Seto was working on a new plan when the phone rang. "MOKUBA! Answer the damn phone!"
No answer
"MOKUBA!" then he recalled, 'shit I forgot he's at a friend's house today." He got up from his chair and picked up the phone, "What is it?"
~~
"What is it?" she heard him shout into the phone,
"Well if you're going to be that way Kaiba maybe I don't want to apologize to you." She said
"Kaiou? What even makes you think I will accept it in the first place?"
Kumiko sighed as she rubbed her temples trying not to lose her temper again, "Look can I just talk to you, face to face. Maybe at the country club the one that just opened last week?"
"Why should I?"
Kumiko growled, "Kaiba, can you at least hear me out?"
"No" he said and hung up
Kumiko temper was slowly rising again; she took a deep breath and pressed redial. This time it took about 5 minutes before Kaiba picked up, "Look I'm a very busy person Kaiou."
"So hear me out and then we'll all be happy."
Seto sighed "I'll meet you there in five minutes." This time he slammed the phone.
~~
Seto watched Kumiko drink another class of wine before he lost his patience, "You dragged me out here to watch you drink?"
Kumiko sighed, "Very well. Kaiba I would like to apologize for my actions at school today and during the meeting as well."
"And you expect me to just accept your apology just like that?"
"Damn it Kaiba! I'm trying to be sincere here. What do you want from me?"
"I don't want anything from you" he said turning away from her as he started walking towards the exit.
"Kaiba wait." She cried out but as she got up the effects from the alcohol were beginning to take their toll on her and the room began to float around her and she fell to the floor unconcious
Kaiba turned and sighed as he walked back to Kumiko's body. He picked her up and carried her to his car. 'Why am I even doing this? Why should I care?'
'Maybe it's because she's like you Seto? She tries so hard to be strong, to prove to others that she can control her own life.' Said a voice at the back of his mind
'Perhaps' he thought ' but still I wouldn't really care'
'Could be you like her.'
"Shut up." He said aloud
Kumiko groaned at the loud noise and buried herself closer to Kaiba for comfort. Kaiba seemed shocked at first and quickened his steps towards his car and layed her in the front seat.
~~
There's the second chapter. I'm on a role today. This must be a special fic; I've never been able to type so much in a long time. Anyways, review and you'll see another chapter sooner. I want to see if I can beat the amount of reviews from my previous story.
