SETO KAIBA WAS making his way out of class when the teacher suddenly called for him.
"Seto Kaiba, may I please speak to you for a minute?" Mr. Hoshisawa asked, smiling kindly at him. Kaiba swore under his breath.
Stupid bastard, what does he want now? Kaiba thought to himself.
Kaiba hated teachers. He had always wondered why they acted as if they knew absolutely everything about this world, when they knew they didn't. Teachers pissed him off big-time, mostly Hoshisawa. Hoshisawa always tried to make Kaiba open up a little, which Kaiba always refused to do. As time past by, Hoshisawa himself learned never to mess with Seto Kaiba. Kaiba's mission was accomplished.
Hoshisawa looked at him. "As you know Seto, exams are over and graduation is coming up very soon."
Kaiba glared at him. Yeah, so what if it is? It's not like I plan on even going to the stupid ceremony.
As Kaiba watched, Hoshisawa's smile faded, and a frown appeared on his face. "Unfortunately Seto, at the moment your chance of graduating is at risk."
Kaiba continued to calmly glare at Hoshisawa, but he was a bit surprised. Why was his graduation at risk? Kaiba really didn't care about graduating, but in order for him to officially take over Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba needed to be 18 and was required to have a Highschool Diploma, as Gozaburo's Will had stated.
"Aren't you going to ask me why you might not be graduating Seto?" Hoshisawa gently asked, still looking at Kaiba.
No answer.
It seemed like Hoshisawa didn't need an answer from Kaiba; he continued anyway.
"Seto, you havn't finished your community service. In fact, you havn't even started yet."
Kaiba wanted to burst out laughing. That was why he wasn't going to graduate? Because he hadn't done any stupid community service? Kaiba wanted to shout in Hoshisawa's face that he didn't have to do community service; it didn't count when it came to the great Seto Kaiba. If Seto Kaiba wanted to do community service, he'd do it. If Seto Kaiba didn't want to do community service, he wouldn't do it. No one was going to force Kaiba to do anything, even if meant not graduating.
"I'm not doing any community service work, it's only a waste of my time," Kaiba said darkly. "Plus, who the hell would want Seto Kaiba to help them?"
Mr. Hoshisawa's face went blank, unable to answer Kaiba's question. Kaiba knew he was right. Who WOULD want the help of the cold and mean Seto Kaiba? Never in his life had he actually helped anybody, save for Mokuba and Yugi.
For a moment the room was silent, as Kaiba smiled smugly at himself. He was going to win this. No way was he going to do any community service.
Suddenly Hoshisawa's face smiled evilly, surprising Kaiba once more. Why was Hoshisawa smiling?
Hoshisawa continued to smile evilly, surprising (and scaring) Kaiba even more. Hoshisawa finally spoke. "Actually, I do know someone that WOULD want your help, Seto."
Kaiba was shocked. Immiedietly he wondered who would want his help. Seto went through the number of people he knew and who needed help. Since most of his aquaintences were wealthy and powerful, Kaiba was stumped.
Quietly Kaiba asked. "Who?"
Hoshisawa leaned back in his chair, evil smile still planted on his face.
"If I'm correct, you've met Anzu Mazaki before? Or is your classmates unknown to you?"
That was insult, and Kaiba knew it. It was supposed to mean that Kaiba was too good for the people at Domino High. It was true, but Kaiba didn't want to say it. Instead Kaiba simply snapped at Hoshisawa, telling him that he did know who Anzu Mazaki was.
To prove his answer, Kaiba began to describe Anzu, telling his teacher about Anzu being friends with Yugi Moto, Jounouchi Katsuya and Honda Hiroto.
Both Hoshisawa and Kaiba were shocked. Who knew that Seto Kaiba could know so much about a person who didn't have more than 1 million dollars in their bank account? Honest to God, the only person Kaiba really knew that well was Yugi Moto, and the only reason why Kaiba knew so much about Yugi was because Kaiba had made it a career of beating Yugi in Duel Monsters.
Hoshisawa, who had recovered from the shock first, smirked. "Meet Anzu in the school gymnasium at 7:00 PM sharp. She'll definately be happy to see you."
"WHAT DO YOU mean you can't help out? You promised Jou, you promised!" Anzu Mazaki shouted, glaring at a frightened Jounouchi. Anzu and Jounouchi were gathered in the gym, planing Domino High's Summer Dance. But right now it looked like Anzu was planing on slapping Jounouchi's face instead planing a dance.
"I'm really sorry Anzu, but is it my fault that I'm grounded for a month?" Jou asked, a tone of fear in his voice. "I mean, you know that if I weren't grounded I would help you out 24/7! Honest!"
Anzu could only sigh. Sitting in the chair beside her, Anzu sadly looked around. The Prinicipals had closed down the gym for exactly one month so that Anzu could organize and plan the Summer Dance. Anzu was happy about this, but the only problem was that she needed volunteers to help her out. Unfortunately, no one seem to care about the Summer Dance except for Yugi,Honda and Jounouchi.
Anzu believed that she could pull off the dance witht the help of her friends, but one by one, they slipped away. First it was Honda, who was unable to help because he had a family emergency somewhere. Next was Yugi, who claimed that he needed to take over the Game Shop for a month or two because Grandpa was in the hospital--again. Just when Anzu thought things couldn't get any worst then it already was, Jounouchi decided to try something stupid, which got him grounded for a month.
"Anzu, you're um, going to be okay with this right?" Jounouchi asked as innocently as possible, but it wasn't really helping. Anzu just glared at him.
Clam yourself Anzu. So what if no one is willing to volunteer for the Summer Dance? You can do it all on your own! Anzu's little encouragement talk seem to help a little, until she noticed how empty the gym was.
"If only one person, just one person, would help out for the Summer Dance, I would be the happiest girl in the world!" Anzu exclaimed, surprising Jounouchi. Anzu looked at Jounouchi before continuing her little speech. "I don't care who it is that's helping, I just want somebody to help!"
And that's just what Anzu got. At the entrance of the gymnasium, there stood Seto Kaiba.
SETO KAIBA GLARED at Anzu and Jounouchi. He couldn't believe he was actually doing this, helping out at some Summer Dance. He was planning on not going, but that would've made Kaiba a wuss if he had skipped. Kaiba hated being a wuss.
"Kaiba, what are you doing here?" Anzu asked, completely taken off guard by the sight of Kaiba.
Kaiba glared at Anzu. Hard. If looks could kill, Anzu would've been long gone by now.
"I'm here to help out."
Anzu and Jounouchi looked at eachother, eyes wide with surprise. Both were thinking the same thing: Seto Kaiba, voluteering?
"So let me get this straight," Jounouchi began, "The great Seto Kaiba wants to help someone out? When did this happen?"
"This wasn't my idea, you retarded dog" Kaiba snapped. "It was stupid Hoshisawa's idea. Said I didn't finish my damn community service time and needed to do it if I wanted to graduate."
That explains everything, Anzu thought, looking at Kaiba. "So you really didn't come to voluteer out of the kindness of your heart?"
"Anzu, Kaiba doesn't have a heart, remember?" Jounouchi reminded Anzu. "All he has is brain."
"Which is something you desperately need Katsuya, if you don't wanna get hurt," Kaiba threatened.
"Oohh, do I see an oppurtunity to fight?" Jounouchi asked slyly. "Cause I could use the excercise."
"So are you saying you enjoy getting punched in the face?" Kaiba shot back. "Cause if you do, you're looking at the right person to punch you."
Before Jounouchi or Kaiba could do anything, Anzu came in, ready to be Peacemaker. Here was Kaiba, ready and waiting to help out, even though he was forced to. This was better than having no one help out.
"You guys, now's not the time to fight," Anzu stated. "Jou, don't you think that having Kaiba help out is a good thing?"
"No," Jounouchi snapped. "You could do alot more without him Anzu."
"I bet you she could do alot more done with me around than you," Kaiba snapped back.
"Oh really?" Anzu asked in interest. "That would be great."
Kaiba smirked.
Jounouchi looked at Anzu with shock. "Anzu, aren't you supposed to be on my side?"
Anzu looked at Jounouchi innocently. "Jounouchi, I am on your side, but Kaiba does have a point. Most of the time you just sit around and do nothing while me and the others of to do all the hard work."
Jounouchi seemed hurt and defeated, but Anzu was telling the truth.
Jounouchi sighed. "Alright fine, maybe Kaiba does have a point."
Kaiba gave a smug look. "I do have a point. Bet you that me and Anzu could pull off this stupid dance all on our own."
"I'd like to see you try," Jounouchi said.
"Fine." Kaiba calmly said.
"..."
"..."
"!!!"
"Kaiba, are you sure we could pull this thing on our own?" Anzu asked, a little worried. Sure, Anzu had said that she could plan the Summer Dance all on her own, but that was just talk. Kaiba was actually serious.
"I'm sure."
All Anzu could do was sit back in her chair, not even caring that her brand-new Versace pants were getting all wrinkly.
