Told you the updates were going to be quick. In fact, it will be daily once I come up to where I left off. This chapter, I remember was something that I wrote to givemy earlierreaders what they wanted.Seto Kaiba acting cruel to his new wife.Now, you'll see that the two are not getting along much to Mokuba's dismay. (He really likes the idea of having a big sister, I guess.) I also remember I wanted to make Kaiba more of a... Pervert, sort of. He IS a guy you know. Well I won't spoil it for you.
Disclaimer time! I don't own YuGiOh, or else I would of made a better translation in the US versions. Along with not censoring everything. But I do own the Don Lacey and Graham family and the Spider Mafia. If you guys steal it, I will make you wish you were never born... ((Evil Marik laugh))
Lucy's POV
Buzz, buzz , buzz... "Damn alarm clock," I said punching the top of it and sitting up on the bed. The vanity table was across from me, so I had perfect view of myself sleeping. My hair was a mess. I got out of bed, not bothering to make it. "Hmm, I'm thinking black pants with blue and my trusty boots... Since I'm going to school, let's take my leather book bag," once again talking to myself as I took out those article of clothing and putting them on. I went to the vanity table and put my hair in a bun, leaving two piece of hair to frame my face. "Let's see, he said that the bathrooms were in the west wing of this floor," I wondered out loud. I got up, getting my tooth brush, tooth paste, black eye liner and face wash and getting out of the room to explore. The smell of breakfast came from down stairs was lingering in my nose and it made my stomach growl. I patted it saying, "easy, my pet. You'll get some food."
"Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity, you know," that cold voice took me by surprise. Kaiba, who was already dressed, looked at me. Funny, I didn't see him around.
We engaged in another icy staring contest, but I had to break the silence. "Well with a father like mine, I've gone crazy not too long ago."
"Again with the products for your face?" He asked.
"Or else I would look like crap," I answered.
"You already are crap," he said and started to walk out.
Didn't feel like responding to him, nor did I need to. That comment he said to me just showed who was really superior... Me. I made my way to a bathroom in the west wing and continued with my morning routine. "This bathroom is nice," I thought to myself as I put my things inside the cabinet. "Mine now," I said out loud. Leaving my bathroom, my nose made me follow the wonderful smell of coffee that was being brewed... The kitchen. I opened the door to reveal Kaiba with the paper in hand, seated with a plate of almost finished eggs in front of him. Personally, I wasn't a breakfast person... But something told me to get something to eat before my stomach digests itself. The silence wasn't annoying, to be quite honest it was soothing. My thoughts grew deeper as I went to the fridge and got a piece of cold chicken that seemed cooked. Closing the door with my hip, eating the chicken contently. My other hand went and helped myself to some coffee. I looked at Kaiba, who was reading the paper, just like he had the other day. Wearing a blue uniform buttoned up, neat, and obviously ironed. "I see, your school has uniforms. Anything else that I need to know?" I asked really not caring.
"Actually there are some things you need to know..." he trailed off. Making me look at him with expecting eyes. "If anyone asks, we met in a business party eight years ago, dating for at least three years... Meaning that we are newly weds. Don't talk or look at anyone in school, either," his voice was cold at the mention of people in school.
I looked at him with an eye brow raised, didn't think that he was going to plan all that out. Suppressing a laugh, "When do we get to have kids?" I joked as his blue eyes narrowed. "Don't worry, Kaiba. I'm not a social butterfly either. Usually I sit in a corner with a good book. And of course accept some duels. How about I just hang from your arm?"
He studied me, which seemed like he was glaring daggers mostly. "Personally, I prefer you jumping over a cliff, but your father would have a problem with that," was all that came out of his mouth. Typical. He wanted me to stay by his side and treat me like crap behind Daddy's back so he won't get killed. That's probably why he was treating me nicer earlier... So I won't tell Daddy that he was being an asshole to me. But I wasn't going to get him killed, he had a brother to protect. I'll just keep my mouth shut, and handle things myself.
"Hey everyone," Mokuba's voice rang as he came through the kitchen doors. Kaiba and I greeted him while he made himself some cereal. Not really paying attention to the brothers talking to each other, I cleaned the dishes that I left and sat on the counter.
"Maybe scrubbing floors and washing dishes should be your permanent job, bitch" Kaiba comment.
"Maybe I should scrub your mouth," I mumbled.
"You should be careful, hag. I can throw you out of this house."
"What's stopping you?"
"The one you call 'Daddy'."
"You know I can turn you in to Daddy for treating me with an ounce of disrespect. The reason why I keep my mouth shut is because in doing, so would make me just as low as you are."
"But you're not me, are you?"
"I'm glad I'm not."
"Guys! Stop fighting! We're suppose to be a family," Mokuba, who was on the verge of tears, started yelling. I was surprised that Kaiba didn't yell at him. A pang of guilt came over me, I didn't like making children upset. The fact that I'm considering Mokuba as a little brother of my own surprised me.
It seemed that Kaiba melted and was nicer when Mokuba was near. (I'm guessing Mokuba has that kind of effect on people.) Or maybe he was just nicer for the young one's sake. Nicer or not, I didn't give a damn on how he treated me, I can handle myself. I sighed, remembering that Kaiba talked to my father. Guess he didn't forget about me after all. Hopefully, I didn't have to do anything for him anymore. It's not that I don't love my father, but I don't like the things I have to do for him. Like marrying a total jerk off. Who does he think he is? With that attitude, I'm surprised that Daddy didn't kill him at first. I knew that Kaiba made a couple of business deals with Daddy before. Deals that involved me stealing. What he didn't know was that the Rumanian mafia never forgets favors. I shook my head at his ignorance. Probably thinks that he can get away with murder. "Time to go," he said as he got up. Getting my book bag and leaving with the two brothers. I saw them go near a limo... Shit! A limo to school? That's ridiculous. "Talk about showing off," I thought as I got inside the limo with them.
Seto's POV
We came to school. Suddenly recognizing Don Lacey's head thug, I quickly grabbed Onyx's hand and got out of the limo and left Mokuba at his class. I had to practically drag Onyx with me. People stared at us while I was holding her hand, but I didn't care. And it seemed she didn't care either. Leading her to the office to sign her up. "Hello Mr. Kaiba, what can I do for you?" The secretary asked me.
"Besides, dropping dead? I'm here to sign in my wife to this academy," I said calmly.
"What he said," she said lamely. I couldn't resist the urge to roll my eyes at her stupidity and inferiority.
The secretary looked at me then at Onyx strangely. "Are you ok, Mr. Kaiba?" She asked.
"Of course I'm ok. Can't you take me seriously?" I asked gritting my teeth at her ignorance.
"If this is true, can I see the papers?" She asked once more. I sighed and showed her our marriage certificate. People need to take me seriously, this is the nonsense that wears my patience thin. The secretary looked at it over and reached for something. She gave it back to me. "Here's the application, and I'm assuming you're paying for your wife?" She asked me, giving Onyx the application.
"Yes, we share our house. Might as well share the same bill," I answered and started to leave. But didn't when a hand stopped me.
Onyx had a firm grip on my arm and stated, "I'm glad to see that you're acting like yourself without Mokuba softening you up. But I'll advise against you leaving me here, or else Daddy will find out," the hag hissed at me. I shook her hand off me and left to class.
Lucy's POV
Whoever made these uniforms up were totally out of their fucking mind. I can't believe that the skirt was that short, the bow was completely humiliating, and the jacket had the most ugly color I have ever seen... Pink. "Why are these skirts so damn short?" I asked myself. The door was kind of heavy and I had a hard time opening it. Soon the teacher opened it and made me fall over. I got in the class a bunch of eyes were on me. I didn't care because this is how they acted in my old school, except for different reasons. The teacher looked at me funny as I got up and gave her the note. Kaiba was handing in homework.
"Word to the wise: Don't wear thongs with the uniform. The skirt easily flips in the wind. No wife of mine is going to look like some kind of meat" he said giving me slap in the ass. A blush escaped my cheeks as everyone laughed at me. That bitch! I'm going to get back at him.
Kaiba went to his seat in the back, which is actually smart if you think about it. You can get away with anything there. "Hello, I'm Ms. Clam, I'll be your homeroom teacher." She said enthusiastically. Gee, I wouldn't have figured it out if she didn't tell me. "Class, this is Lucy. Why don't you tell a little bit about yourself?" She asked. I wished she didn't.
"Besides the fact that she wears thongs under her skirt?" I heard a voice say. The class laughed, but the teacher calmed them down. Then encouraging me to say something about myself.
I looked at Kaiba for some guidance, but he predictably smirked. He put his book down and crossed his arms in amusement. Probably pleased to see me squirm. "Um... Hello, my name is Lucy, but I go by the name of Onyx. Some of you may recognize me as the Demon Duelist," I said but the teacher interrupted me.
"You mean Duel Monsters?" She asked.
"Yes," I answered her.
"There are a lot of people here that are into Duel Monsters. In fact, we have our top duelists here in this very class," obviously pride was beaming on this lady. My eyes glanced over at some people, but no one seemed like they'd be worth my time.
Nonetheless, I went on, "I like to read. My favorite book being 'The Inferno'. That's it."
"Very good, not too many people here like to read. Although I wish some of you would make an effort to read the chapter assigned," the teacher said looking at some blonde guy with brown eyes. A sweat dropped from his brow as he giggled. Kaiba, on the other hand, just shook his head and began to read again. "You can take a seat next to Mr. Taylor." She pointed as some guy with a pointy head. I took my seat, silently wondering how many bottles of gel he uses a week. But then I took another look at a guy that seemed to have his feet dangling in his chair. His hair was out of this world, and personally I thought it was a good look for him. Also the colors were pretty nice, but I couldn't help to think that his hair was really damaged with all the dye he put in it.
The first person came up to me, the blonde guy from earlier. "Hey! I'm Joey, what's up?" His Brooklyn accent was very thick. And he was wearing the same uniform that every other boy was wearing except his was really messy.
Didn't look like someone that would be very smart, but I rather study him more before I make my decision. "The sky and ceiling are up, if you didn't notice," my sarcasm making a small appearance with this guy.
"No, I meant..." he was interrupted by the small boy with cool hair.
"What he meant was how are you? By the way, I'm Yugi and the guy you're sitting next to is Tristan," he introduced with a smile on his face. The boy with the spike waved. The voice of the short kid was kind of annoyingly happy.
A sweat drop came on my brow, I really didn't know what to say. Never have people voluntarily came up to me. This caught the attention from a girl with short brown hair and the guy they call Tristan. "Hi, my name is Tea. Welcome to Domino." Her smile was really pretty that matched her eyes. Certainly not the kind of blue that Kaiba had. His eyes were scary as fuck.
"Hi, um... I better catch up with some reading," I said getting a book and buried my nose in it. The group took a hint and started to converse among each other, leaving me to be taken away by the book. Somehow, I always felt peace when reading a book. Even the most bone chilling literature was considered better than reality. I have problems with reality. Without me realizing it the bell rung. Everyone got out except for Kaiba and that Joey kid. Joey approached me as he was scratching the back of his neck.
I started to put my book in my book bag and quietly studied him. Coming to the conclusion that he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. Almost giggling with that thought, but I didn't. "Listen, Onyx. Since ya new and all... Maybe you would like ta hang out wit me 'n my buddies? And get ta know each otha." He asked me.
I felt my eye brow raise as I continued to look at him. His poise showed me uncertainty. Almost feeling sorry for him, if only he knew. I was about to respond, the unexpected came... "You're out of luck, mutt," Kaiba said to him. "She doesn't date out of her species." Soon the two were looking at each other with hard eyes.
"Since when do ya make decisions for her?" He asked getting into some kind of fit. No words could describe how much I wanted to laugh at both of them. They seemed like two play ground bullies picking fights with each other.
"Read my lips, Wheeler. She's taken," I saw a triumphant smile growing on his face.
Joey's eyes then diverted to me. "Dun tell me you're datin' Kaiba, he's a creep!"
Normally, I wouldn't do what I did next, but since "Kaiba" is attached to my name... I guess it was an acceptable reason for my actions. I got up and slung my book bag on my shoulders. "Actually, I'm married to Seto."
"How can anyone be married to Kaiba?" Joey wondered outloud more to himself than to us.
"Simple, I saw through his lovable cold exterior and we share common grounds. I'll tell you this much though," I said leaning in on Joey. "Seto here, is a great fuck," I looked at Kaiba innocently, "coming Seto?"
"Yes Lucy," he said as I inwardly grimaced. He knew all too well that I didn't like being called by that name. His expression... It was unreadable. He followed me as I went to my locker. "What the fuck do you think you're doing telling people that-"
"That you're a great fuck, even though we haven't done the mattress mambo?" I interrupted him. "You should be happy that I said that, that means one more thing you're better at than everyone else." I said putting the needed books in my book bag.
His eyes reflected a pensive mode, he crossed his arms and started to think about it. I leaned on the lockers, examining him. Soon he was smirking, "I'll give you credit, you made me look like I'm better at something. But that still doesn't change my opinion of you. You're garbage."
"Think what you want, but shouldn't we be getting to class, honey?" I put poison in the word honey. He grunted as we started heading to our next class.
Seto's POV
"The hag following everywhere I go is the most annoying thing in the world," I thought to myself. Then I glanced at Yugi and his friends... "Well, not the most annoying thing in the world," I reconsidered as I got my lunch and proceeded to go where I usually sat down. The bitch was putting things in her locker right now. But I didn't want to be near her. Yugi and his friends seemed to be approaching me.
"Hey Kaiba, is it true?" Yugi asked sitting across from me.
"Hey, guy with cool hair," Onyx's voice rang from behind me before I could answer. Interrupting everything. She sat in a chair next to me, setting an apple and water on the table.
"Counting calories, dear?" I asked.
"If you're concerned with counting calories, I'll tell you how many calories that arsenic holds in your sandwich," she spat.
"I didn't think poison was your style," I said mockingly. A gasp came out of her mouth, but she kept quiet... Too quiet. She crossed her legs and didn't slouch. Everyone greeted her. I continued eating as I saw how she handled the morons with ease. The group of geeks looked at us with unbelieving eyes.
"Joey told us you were married to Kaiba," Gardner informed her. "But from the looks of it, it seems that its another stupid rumor."
She smiled evilly, making everyone wonder. "Yes, we are married and contrary to most beliefs we love each other very much, isn't that right, Pumpkin?" She asked as she got my and laced her fingers with mine. The bitch! Calling me some kind of vegetable! I'll show her.
"Yes it is, thong fairy," I said menacing while giving her a strong squeeze. Knowing all too well that she wouldn't like to recall what happened in the classroom.
"Oh Seto, you're so romantic," she said gritting her teeth and gripping my hand in a death grip, too. She then turned her attention to our audience saying, "if you don't mind, I like to continue my martial bliss alone with my hubby." The crowd agreed with her and left us alone. Her eyes went to my face, I could tell she wanted to burn a whole through my face. "You can let go now," she said sinking her nails into my flesh. Fury seemed to be the only feeling that we had for each other, at least she got rid of the nerd squad. She released her hand from mine and took a bite out of her apple. Somehow, I think she was picturing my face on that apple. Especially since she bit into it viciously. Silence started to grow between us, which was fine by me when... "Kaiba, let me ask you something." She prompted resting her elbow and taking another bite out of her apple. "I forgot how couples act like. Care to enlighten me."
"What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"What? Are you deaf and stupid? I asked you..."
"... I know what you asked me. And frankly, I rather not waste time with feelings and emotions. I suppose you should watch others and see for yourself," I answered her finishing my sandwich. Her green eyes started to scan everyone. My hand reached her water bottle and I took a couple of gulps. She took it back and stuck her tongue out at me. I bought her that lunch, she might as well share it. Ungrateful leach. She continued to observe everyone silently. Soon she just shrugged, obviously not giving a damn about her own question. Taking out a book, leaning on me, and started reading. As comfortable as she may be, I pushed her off. "I'm your husband, not your leaning post, bitch" I said... I hated that word... Husband.
She stopped leaning on me and just sat back on her seat reading quietly. At least she won't bother me. "Sometimes your intelligence tells me otherwise," she answered back.
"That's quite peculiar for someone that is more intelligent and superior to you," I said faux wondering.
"Oh, you don't understand that concept? How superior!"
My patience was wearing thin once again, "So glad you agree."
"You speak sarcasm, but you don't notice when it's used on you... How typical. You better watch, I'm keeping you alive," she said going back to her book. What did she mean by that? Right now isn't the place to talk about it. If Don Lacey was planning to kill me, he better think twice before he messes with Seto Kaiba. Somehow I have a feeling that I would have a long talk with Lucy.
The day wore on and everything was boring until a particular event that stuck in my mind. There was fifteen minutes to class left, and the teacher permitted that we talk. The nerd squad called the hag to duel. As long as they didn't call me, I didn't mind. Joey challenged her. Probably thinking that he could finally beat a Kaiba. Much to my amusement, it seemed that Onyx beat him in seven minutes flat. And what was even more humiliating for him was that she beat him with his own monster.
He looked like he was about to throw a fit, which he did. "YOU CHEATED!"
I was intrigued at how this was going to turn out. One thing for sure, I wasn't going to defend her. "I beat you fair and square, you're just pissed off that you were put in your place," she calmly answered back.
"I'll put you in your place!"
"Please, you'll all talk."
"You're lucky I don't hit girls."
"You know, I think Seto was wrong when he said you were a mutt. I think he should of called you a pussy!" With that Joey almost threw a punch, but Onyx moved out of the way causing him to crash against a few desks. "One, you shouldn't rely on violence to solve your problems. Two, you shouldn't hit girls, no matter how tempting. Three, you shouldn't be picking on your enemies' wife, because that shows that you can't beat the real thing, mutt." With that she walked away out of the class with hips swaying. For some unknown reason, a feeling of pride overcame me. Also a bit of aroused.
