Thank you for the reviews! I really appriciate it. I'm just glad that I was smart enough to save the work on a floppy so it wouldn't have been lost.
Seto: So someone attacked you from the dark?
Bounty Hunter: You can say that.
Seto: Coward.
Bounty Hunter: You're telling me. Seto since we've been aquaintances for a while, mind doing the disclaimers?
Seto: Whatever. Bounty Hunter doesn't own anything that has to do with YuGiOh. However, she does own the Don Lacey and Graham familiy, along with the Spider Mafia. If she sees you using her characters without permission, she'll get her cross bow and hunt you down.
Bounty Hunter: Thanks, but you weren't suppose to say the whole hunting thing... Moron...
Seto: I heard that!
Chapter 2
Seto's POV
"I, certainly, can't believe what I just did," I thought to myself. I walked to the living room to see Mokuba in his pajamas, already hooking up the entertainment system.
"Seto!" He said running up and hugging me. My walls was once more crumbled down as I returned the hug. "How was the meeting, Big Brother?" That question stung me. How do you break you your little brother that he has a new sister in law? "Did you buy the company?" He inquired once more. I nodded, not knowing what to say. Feeling weak... It was unacceptable.
"Something is wrong. You have this look in your eye. What happened?" I wished that he didn't ask me so many questions. I wished that this was all one big joke.
I ruffled his hair and sat down. He offered me one of the controllers, but I didn't take it. Instead, I went and picked him up and set him on my lap. He hugged me once more, also making it more difficult to break the news. "Mokie, I have something to tell you." I said with a voice that was only reserved for him.
"What is it, Seto?"
"You know that I bought the company, right?" I asked as he nodded his head and smiled at me. "I paid three million dollars for that company."
Mokuba laughed, "that wasn't very smart for that guy."
"No, it wasn't. There is something else that was in our deal, Mokie," I said hearing a hint of fear in my voice. No! That is weakness. I made my decision and I'm going to stand by it. "I had to get married to the owner's daughter in order to get the company." Mokuba looked at me, trying to find answers in my eyes. Staring back at him, I tried to read his face.
"You mean, I have a big sister?" He asked with a smile growing on his face. I should of known that he would have been glad to see me with someone. "YAY! I want to meet her. Is she here now?" His excitement still confused me. I didn't like to be confused.
Lucy's POV
I still can't believe that my father sold me to some stranger. Well, I can't say stranger, but he still sold me. It just wasn't fair. But who was I to complain? I was married to a very powerful man, and I am now currently trying to figure out which bedroom to stay in. Soon I chose a room with dark green walls. Something that caught my eye was the book shelf. A wave of comfort washed over me as I started to look at the books... From Shakespeare to Steinbeck to even my favorite book! I was excited to see "The Inferno" there. My hand quickly took it from it's place and started to flip through the pages. Admiring the illustrations of the tortured souls and demons, too busy to see what was going around. I heard padding of feet outside, the door knob twist opening the door. Turning around, hoping that it wasn't Seto. My eyes met stealy blue eyes that belonged to my husband. I still shiver at that thought. "I see you found your room," he said looking at me. "Ah, 'The Inferno'. I didn't expect anything less from the Demon Duelist." So he has heard of me before. But I knew that his voice mocked me.
More steps were heard approaching this room. A small boy poked his head in, and started smiling. Coming inside and walking to Seto's side. Cute kid, I would love to have hair like his, unruly but tamed. Also his eyes. Seemed more darker blue. "Hi, I'm Mokuba," the boy said extending his hand towards me. Very friendly, indeed. One thing that was strange was that Seto didn't even scowl at this little boy. "Welcome to the family." I guess this kid is taking it well that his dad just got married to a complete stranger. Or he likes to make new friends.
I took his and shook it. "The name is Lucy, but you can call me Onyx..." I trailed off. "Mokuba and Seto seems like interesting names. I like them." I said smiling, enjoying the little boy's conversation.
He looked back at Seto, "Big Brother, are we still on for the video game war?" So that's why Seto hasn't bitched him out yet. I guess my assumption on him being Seto's son was wrong. Personally, I wondered why he hasn't chewed me out yet. I looked at the two conversing with one another. Seto nodded his head as his little brother cheered for joy and ran outside. His big brother followed him, leaving me to think. "Onyx, you're part of the family, now. It's traditional that you attend the video game war," he said matter of factly as he tugged my arm. It was amusing how a guy like him could have his attitude melt away with the mere sight of Mokuba. The two were seated at the couch, so I decided to sit on the ground near Mokuba. Not wanting to go near Seto, as if he might bite my head. Seto already had the game hooked up and gave a controller to Mokuba, who happily took and promised to "kick his butt". It was adorable Mokuba yelled out insults and his brother calmly gave sarcastic remarks. "Onyx, do you want to play?" Mokuba shyly asked as he gave the controller.
I smiled at him, "sure." He handed me his controller. I looked at who I was up against... Seto Kaiba, someone that is the strong silent type. The character menu came on the screen. I guess this is a good time to show how what I can do.
Seto's POV
The character menu screen showed up. A smirk graced my face as I picked the only demon character, knowing that she would of probably wanted that. But surprised me when she picked the ballerina character dressed in black. "What a weak character," I couldn't help but comment.
She looked at me with fire of competition in her eyes saying, "don't underestimate of what you can't understand, Seto." While picking a place to fight.
"That's Kaiba to you, Lucy," I said waiting for the fight to start.
She remained calm and made her hands comfortable, I want her to be angered. "Same rules apply to you, Kaiba. The name is Onyx," she said, starting to beat my character to a bloody pulp. Not even giving me an inch, I liked that. However, that didn't change my opinion about her. Soon the round was over with my character falling. "Your character is very strong, but not agile."
The next round turned up, this time I'm not going to let her win. "This is coming from a duelist that never dueled against a man before," I commented as my character didn't give her an inch to escape my wrath. Then smirking when I was victorious on that round.
The round started again as both of them engaged in blocks, kicks, punches, and combination attacks. I took a glance at Mokuba who was excited to be watching. Quickly directing my eyes towards the screen, I saw that my life was almost gone. She added the final blow and finished my character. "Thanks for letting me playing, Mokuba," she smiled and gave him the controller again. "I'm feeling sleepy," she added.
"I noticed that your room is across mine," I started, "don't get any ideas and trying to sneak in there." Who knows? She might actually rape me.
"That's too bad, Kaiba," she purred as a glint came to her eye. A smile came to her face and I saw her teeth... Very straight and white. "I heard people with cold exteriors, shag like minks," she sneered while raising her eye brows suggestively. With that said, she went off to her room. Without a doubt, I knew that wasn't any kind of flirting. Good.
"Seto, what's 'shag like a mink' mean?" I heard Mokuba question. His eyes were full of curiosity at her gesture.
Not wanting such garbage filling up his head I told him that I didn't know.
Lucy's POV
I felt taking a shower, and already was well aware that there was no bathroom in my room... Then where at? "Kaiba probably has one in his room," I snorted, taking my clothes off and wrapping a towel around my body, along with grabbing shampoo, soup, sponge, and facial products. As I started to get out of the room, it hit me... I didn't know where the bathroom was. Soft padding came closer, soon I saw that it was my husband. "Kaiba!" I whispered. Hoping that he heard my plea. "Good," I thought to myself, "he's headed in this direction." His glacier eyes looked at me, as if locked on target or something. "Kaiba."
"What do you want?" I felt his eyes were on me. Looking at me harshly for some reason... Usually a guy would try to take my towel off. "You're lucky that Mokuba is in his room sleeping. Or else he might of ran into you, dressed like that."
I sighed knowing that he probably thought that I was some kind of slut that couldn't land a husband without Daddy's help. I looked back at him, "can you please tell me where the bathroom is, I want to take a shower before going to bed."
He smirked confidently as he crossed his arms. "Most of them are at the west wing of this floor, the only bathrooms that are close to your room are mine and Mokuba's."
"Well, then I'll use yours," I said nonchalantly.
"I'm afraid you'll have to asked again."
I snorted while looking at his overly confident face... More like cocky. "If you think I'm going to beg..." I said. "You can think again."
I expected him to say something else but he entered his room, leaving the door open so I can come in. As I did I observed his room. It's said that a way someone arranges their room matches their personality. His walls a royal blue, that explains his attitude... A king size bed was in a corner, he likes his space and isolation. Another book shelf... I stepped closer, observing his books. Mostly covering subjects such as math, science, and business, he liked to be ahead of the game... At whatever the subject was. "You seem to have an attraction towards books," his voice rang almost causing me to jump out of my skin. I regained my composure and turned to him.
"You can say I've had affairs with books since I was little," I said in a way, challenging him to say something. Besides, I wanted another game, but of wits this time.
"Oh, I think I'm starting to get jealous," he said sarcastically. "Don't tell me you read graphic smut, too."
"Once in a blue moon, but I don't believe in love," I replied.
He chuckled coldly and nodded. Like agreeing with me. "Looks like you got your poor little heart crushed." He doesn't know how true his statement was. "But I understand you, I don't believe in it either. I wasn't expecting you to either, you father just sold you." He said smirking.
"Gee, I wouldn't have ever thought of that until you told me. You know, being here, facing my husband, I wouldn't have figured it out." I said sarcastically. Him making that observation about this whole ordeal was like a slap in the face. Immobilized and hoping that the world would swallow me whole. No such luck. "I'm going to take that shower now," my tone lowered melancholy. I said as I started heading to his bathroom.
Seto's POV
I started to change into my silk pajamas and didn't feel like going into a pensive mood. My head was pounding and all I wanted was to sleep. Then all I have to do tomorrow is wake up, since it would be a Sunday, I would only have to work. After I'll spend some time with Mokuba. Hopefully, the hag won't bother me that much. "Although," a thought crept, "if I'm lucky enough, she'll probably try to forget that we're married..." The sound of my shower broke my train of thoughts. After a few minutes, a yelp was also heard. "Idiot," I thought to myself as I got up and started to go to my bathroom, "probably twisted her ankle of something." I went inside the bathroom to see steam all over the place. At least that was some good, since the shower had a glass door. "What happened?" I demanded.
I saw Lucy's figure through the steamy glass turn in surprise. Did she think she was in the movie "Psycho"? "Kaiba?"
"No, the boogie man."
"To answer your question, I was just surprised with the water coming out of the sides," she said rinsing herself off and turning the shower off. "Can you hand me the towel that's on the sink, please?"
Did she just ask me to do something? From what the steam has permitted it me to see, she put her hands on her hips expecting me to be her maid. "Do I like look like your servant?" I asked.
"No, but I thought you could do me a small favor," she replied.
A thought suddenly reached my mind, something that will consist of eye candy. "Or you could just get out and get the towel," I said.
"But you'll see me naked," she said with uncertainty.
"Wow, someone with shame... You don't see that anymore, but it's not like you would be naked in front of a total stranger," I commented sarcastically. "But I can already see you," I lied. "The steam is wearing off," adding to that lie. But somehow this didn't phase her like I thought. I got tired of this, tomorrow I have to wake up early and run my company.
Getting out of the bathroom and leaving her to tend her own things. Sitting on my bed again, I contemplated what I did today. My step father would be proud, I got married because of business. As thoughts grew deeper, the sound of water running and splashing against the sink could be heard. Didn't she just take a shower? Getting up again and approaching, I saw her rinsing some lather off her face and then putting some treatment afterwards. With her towel wrapped around her body. Her long wet hair dripping all over. "How many products are you going to put on your face before you go to sleep?"
She looked at me while passing the cotton pad on her face and replied, "Probably two or three. Or else I break out with a bunch of pimples." Turning back to the mirror, she tossed the used cotton pad in the trash.
"Even your own skin is inferior to mine," I said crossing my arms and leaning against the door frame.
"You know, self flattery will get you nowhere," she said taking all her possessions and leaving. I didn't feel like answering to her. All I wanted to do is sleep.
