Double update, surprise. I remember this chapter everyone thought Kaiba was too nice... And I agree, but in the next one, I'll have to admit... I made him really nasty, in a bad guy kind of way.
Disclaimers: I don't own YuGiOh, never will. I own the Don Lacey and Graham family and the Spider Mafia. Don't take them without my permission. Or else.
Chapter 3
Lucy's POV
Waking up in the morning like always, with the sun in my eyes. Slowly opening them, to reveal dark green walls instead of my white ones. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't in my room, wouldn't be there for a long time. I was practically sold by my father, no doubt. Hopefully, he will forget about me. A feeling of comfort washed over me as the thought I won't need to do anymore "cleaning". Besides, I didn't bring my equipment with me, anyway. I heard a soft knock on the door, suddenly I flew to the T-shirt that I flung last night onto the floor. Quickly put the shirt on, just in time for whoever to pop their head in. "Good morning, Mokuba," I said groggily.
He started to smile and approached me. "Hey, how was your night here?"
"It was good, pretty comfy bed," I said truthfully. My back didn't even hurt one bit. The smell of coffee coming from downstairs was quite inviting. A growling noise came from my stomach as if agreeing with me.
"You sound pretty hungry," Mokuba said giggling.
I tickled him in the tummy and then said, "let me go get dressed, so we can have breakfast... Ok?" I asked. He nodded, getting out of the room and waited by the door. Going through the suitcase and quickly picked out a gray pre-shrunk T shirt and black sweats. Slipping on some tennis shoes and met up with Mokuba.
Seto's POV
Water was something that always woke me up in the morning. Feeling the cold water going down through my esophagus and into my stomach. Looking back at the paper, where the business section is, and seeing that my stocks were doing better than I expected. Soon I heard Mokuba's voice, then feminine giggling. I lowered the paper to reveal my younger brother and Don Lacey's girl... So it wasn't just some nightmare, at least she didn't look like she was going to a funeral this time. "Good morning, Seto!" Mokuba chirped.
"Morning Mokie," I greeted. The hag just walked past me. "Ingrate," I thought to myself.
"You want some coffee, Onyx?" He offered as she nodded. "How do you like it?"
"Black with a lot of sugar, please," she replied. That is going to get her wired. The two were conversing while I took a look at the clock. "I better start to get to work, before it piles up," I thought to myself as I headed to my office.
Lucy's POV
I saw Kaiba leave to... I don't know where. Looking back at Mokuba who was sitting on the table reading the comics. Awkward silence draped over us. "So..." I trailed off and got his attention. "... What do you do for fun?"
"We have a pool, but I can't get in without someone watching over me," he then started to smile. "You can watch over me."
This kid is in luck, I took a first aid course and I learned CPR. I told him to get his swimming trunks while I went to put my black bikini on. Soon we were in an inside pool. It was amazing, and very pretty. "Good," I thought to myself, "I won't get a tan." Soon a splash caught me off guard. And a giggling Mokuba resurfaced. He was such an adorable kid. "Oh you think you can splash me and get away with it, huh?" I asked playfully as I ran up and dived in. He loss track of me. Quietly I resurfaced behind him, I guess he was looking for me. How cute. "And now, for the dunk," I said as I did just that. That's when we had the splashing war which seemed like only seconds. But really it was minutes going by like seconds.
Seto's POV
"Finally," I thought to myself, "I finished everything, even a little bit of tomorrows work." A sound of splashing came to my ears. Ignoring it, I decided to rest my eyes. But something disrupted the peacefulness, my damn cell phone. I picked up and said my automatic greeting.
"Hello Kaiba, I hope everything is going well," a familiar voice ran through my ears.
"Hello Dad," I sneered. More of an insult than an actual greeting.
"I see you are taking your time to get used to the arrangement. But you signed the papers, meaning you have to stick by your commitment," he answered.
"Frankly, I don't think you called me just to see how everything is doing."
"You're right. As you know, I will be keeping a watch on you, in case you treat my daughter unfairly. Also I called you to inform you, to enroll my daughter in your academy."
"Anything else?"
"That's all... Have a nice day."
Not wanting to respond, I hung up. The splashing noises continued. "Maybe I should go check up on Mokie," I thought getting up and headed towards the door. The splash sound got louder as I got closer to the door. Finally opening it to reveal Mokuba and the hag.
The two stopped splashing each other when I entered. "Hey Seto!" Mokuba greeted me.
"Hey Mokie," I said as I went to the side of the pool. A smile started to grow on his face, a mischievous one. "Hold it, I'm don't want to get wet," I said as he crossed his arm in defeat and stuck the tongue out at me. Out of brotherly competition, I stuck my tongue out at him. Without warning, I felt myself hit the water. Resurfacing, giggles echoed throughout the walls. Mokuba was at my side... So much for not getting wet. Then I heard a giggle from the cultrate, who dived into the water and stayed there. Looking around to see nothing. She reached the surface and continued to laugh. I gritted my teeth, "no one humiliated Seto Kaiba and gets away with it."
She splashed me, "lighten up, Kaiba," and disappeared in the water again. Soon I felt her breath in my ear, "besides, you got to spend more time with Mokuba." I turned to face her, but she disappeared again.
"They should call her Pisces, instead of Onyx," I muttered to myself. Then decided that I was going to spend with my little brother... Even if the hag is on the side.
Lucy's POV
The day seeemed to pass by as I saw the civil side of Kaiba, probably because his brother was there. Right now, I'm in my room reading "The Pit and the Pendulum". Putting down my book and started to think. I guess, like him, I let my guard down with his little brother. The kid grew on me pretty fast, but I can't say the same for Kaiba. I remember an incident that happened today when Mokuba went to use the bathroom. He told me that I shouldn't be considering myself as part of the family. Babbling a lot, said something about him being superior. I didn't pay attention to what he said. Never have I care of what anyone said, and I'm not going to start now because I have a husband. There's that dreaded word again... "Husband." That Kaiba is like a curse to me. And if the mafia told me anything, is that he is going to stick to me for a long time, if he wants to stay alive. The door creaked breaking me from my train of thought. Kaiba entered my room while I sighed at his presence. "Don't worry, I'm not considering myself as part of the family. And I already used the shower over at the west wing so I won't have to use your shower," it was a robotic answer, but I'm pretty sure that's what he wanted to hear.
"Good, but that's not why I'm here," he said. My suspicion raised in my head, I was warned that he does whatever he wants. "You're going to school with me." Those words rang. I didn't care, it's not like I had friends in the other school.
"Says who?" I didn't say that as if to challenge him, I asked, because it didn't seem like he would do such an action.
He chuckled coldly again, like always putting up a front. "Your father."
"Oh well, not like I had friends over at my old school anyway," I said going back to my book. He didn't say a word after that, he just left me with my thoughts.
