Chapter 5
Lucy's POV
After that fight with the mutt (as Kaiba calls him), I had to go outside before I did something that would result in regret in the future. Automatically going to my locker, putting and taking things out of it. The bell rung letting everyone out. It was like a stampede, too many people, which I didn't like it. Suddenly, Kaiba leaned on my locker closing it on my hand. Screaming in pain, I released it from under his weight and gripped it. "I enjoyed what you did to Wheeler, today."
I looked at him and almost felt that my eyes were going to pop out of their sockets, but I regained my composure. A smirk grew on his face and it didn't seem it's going to be wiped away anytime soon. "And let me guess, that still doesn't change your opinion about me. I'm still trash to you?" I asked, undoing my hair from the bun. Feeling myself under the scrutiny of his eyes, just like at the pool.
"Bingo," he said.
"Don't worry, I still think you're beneath me" I said looking into his artic blue eyes. Something I could never do was get too angry at him. I never understood why I never got too pissed off at Kaiba. At that moment, I couldn't place my finger on it.
"Think what you want, it still doesn't change facts. And the fact is... I'm superior to you." Suddenly Mokuba came around the corner with his book bag in toll. Forgetting about our argument, we all greeted him and went to the limo. The two brothers were conversing with one another about Mokuba doing his homework. "Onyx, you take advanced classes with me, you're going to help him with his homework." Personally, I didn't mind. Mokuba was a cute kid. But I did mind that Kaiba is barking out orders at me. No "please", no "thank you". That man needs to learn some manners. "I'll have a talk with him later," I thought to myself as we got home. We all got out of the limo and went to Kaiba's office. Where he quickly went to work, doing homework on the side. Mokuba and I were working on our homework quietly. Mokuba mentioned to me that it was something that they always had done. I finished my own homework, then reading quietly. Of course, stopping in case he needed any help. Sometimes, out of the blue, Kaiba would mutter some curses. The day was lazy for me and the kid, seeing as how we both finished our homework and now are playing Duel Monsters.
What felt like forever was actually two weeks that we've been doing the same routine. Going to school, getting back to my new home, doing homework, helping Mokuba with his, and then going to my room. Although there is one incident that has made a mark in my head when it came to some of Kaiba's fan girls.
We were out of school and I was with Kaiba while he was getting stuff from his lockers. Then five girls approached us. Examining the leader of the girls (Not bothering to see those behind her.) she was pretty. Although, when I told this to Kaiba, he said that I needed glasses. The leader was a cute blonde with blue eyes. Her skirt was shamelessly rolled up, as if those skirts weren't short enough. Her poise was something that caught my attention immediately, however. She stuck out her chest, obviously pointing that she doesn't have self esteem. "So you're the little slut that took Kaiba from us!" Her finger pointed at me.
"That means..." Kaiba started but quickly interrupted by me.
"Let me take care of this, dear." Something came over me when I looked into her pathetic face, "I didn't see your name on him." Her scream was silenced as I bit down on her finger. Letting go once the taste of her blood hit my taste buds. The four girls that surrounded her left as I got her by the hair and flung her behind me. "Anyone else?" I asked, hearing the pounding of feet eagerly getting away from me. After that, no girl seemed to make contact with me. Which was alright, I didn't feel like getting my back stabbed. However, that event left a certain kind of reputation. The reputation caused me to be indifferent. What good would it do me? It wouldn't change anything about me, it wouldn't change the fact that I am owned.
Seto's POV
Silence was always my best friend. Nothing seemed to bother me right now as I worked. It was like a haven. Soon as I was done with my paper work, I leaned on my chair. Satisfied with what I made myself turn out to be. My eyes scanned Mokuba who was laying on the sofa. "Where's the hag?" I thought as the door creaked. Onyx came in with a blanket, putting it over Mokuba, and finally leaving. Good, she wasn't going to bother me anytime soon. As if school wasn't enough. I went over to my sleeping brother. Seeing his chest rise and fall as he breathed. Picking him up, I decided to put him to bed. "I'm going to tire myself out too," I thought as I went to my gym.
The next morning, I didn't see the lout grace her presence. She missed the ride with me and Mokuba to school. Although her appearance at school caused me to ask some questions. As I got out of the limo, the mutt's voice already greeted my ears. "Ya mean Kaiba let you use his car ta school? If dat was my car, I wouldn't let no wife of mine drive it." That caught my attention. I turned my head to see what the mutt was talking about. There was the hag along with a crowd surrounding her, near my car... My Ferrari!
"Seto, isn't that the car you bought around the time when that weird stuff was happening?" Mokuba asked pointing to the sight.
I made my way through the sea of people while Mokuba clanged on my sleeve. She looked at me and smiled wickedly. "Hey Pumpkin," she said going up to me, taking off her driving gloves. "Thanks for letting me use the car, I needed to get here earlier so I can make up a test. Hope you don't mind," she said.
"As a matter of fact," I impelled to burst her bubble. "I do mind."
"Seto, I thought you would understand," she said, certainly not showing fear in her eyes. "I wouldn't make you wake up early."
"Yeah, we all know dat you need more beauty sleep more dan anyone, Kaiba," the mutt intervened.
I looked at him who was drooling over my car. "Stay out of it, mutt. Just because you want to hump my car and wife, doesn't mean that your opinion counts for anything." Soon he was being restrained by Yugi, making me smirk. "Yugi, you should put your barking Chihuahua on a leash." Again the dog started his early barking. I started to inspect my car, finding no scratch.
"Don't you trust my driving, Pumpkin?" She asked again. I gave her a glare and went on to class.
Lucy's POV
A smile came across my face as I was contemplating what I did the morning. The look on Kaiba's face was quite amusing. While, I trust my driving enough to not crash a piece of art like that. It still got me scared that Kaiba was scanning it for any kind of imperfection. With anticipation, that will make us even for the thong incident. Once again, I was in class. Drama class. I didn't mind to tell the truth, I've always liked theater. Daddy and an old boyfriend used to take me to them. Before all the deceit. As everyone were deciding on what they were going to do for the Christmas play, my thoughts went over to my one and only boyfriend, that was killed with cold blood. Daddy never did like him. I shook my head relieving me of those thoughts. Tristan come up with "The Christmas Carol" for a play. Then hearing Joey say, "Kaiba would make an excellent Scrooge."
"And what would you be? The family dog" Kaiba shot back.
"I'll show you pet dog"
I couldn't help but chuckle as Joey was being held by Yugi so he wouldn't get physical.Yugi needs to let his friend get beat up a couple of times so he won't go picking a fight with anyone that calls him a name. After some time, we all decided to do "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Kind of twisted if you ask me, didn't Santa get kidnapped in that movie? She then reassured that everyone is going to get a part and it's mandatory if we want to pass. "Lucy! Come to the front of the class," the teacher said to me.
My head shot up in alarm, "I was paying attention."
"No you're not in trouble, just come here," she said motioning for me to come to her. Her attention was to her class again as I made my way joining her at the front. "Now class, acting isn't just reciting lines. You have to find common grounds with your character. It's about making a connection, putting yourself in your character's shoes," she continue to babble. Her eyes soon connected with mine as she said she found a Sally in me. Then calling up Yugi to come and do a scene with me. She placed some props in front of us. I didn't think that Yugi would be able to make a girl. Maybe a girl right for him... Wait a minute, I just saw the connection. We quickly read our lines and he sat down as if he was working.
I took the bowel, and brought it out to him, "dinner's ready."
He pretended to be excited and smelled the "aroma" of the soup. "Frog's breath?" He asked in character.
If I didn't know any better, I would of thought that he was the doctor. I shook off the feeling and replied sounding hurt, "but I thought you liked frog's breath."
"Last time you put frog's breath in my soup, you poisoned me. I'm not eating a bite, until you try it," he said putting a spoon near my mouth.
"I'm not hungry," I said swatting his hand, making him drop the spoon. "Oops!" I said pretending to take a fake spoon out of my boot. Pretending to faux taste the soup, I delivered my lines, "mmm, scrumptious!" With that he pretended to be excited once more. And ate the "soup".
An applause was heard from the teacher, praising both of us. She told us to stand by. "Excellent, you guys got the parts." Again, she started scanning everyone. "Kaiba, please come up and recite these lines." He did what he was told. Funny how he didn't answer back with a sly remark, but I suppose that would get him low grades.
"He can't act his way out of paper bag," I muttered. He gave me a quick glare. Determination was written in his face as he looked over at his paper.
The teacher started to explain something to him, but I couldn't make it out. "The Pumpkin King seems to have an intimidating presence," she told him out loud. "I believe that is your common ground with him."
"He sure is skinny enough to be the skeleton," Joey said loudly.
Kaiba got a smirk on his face, "maybe we should make the mutt feel special and let him be the werewolf." I snickered quietly, thinking that it was true. His hair is would make him an excellent werewolf. It didn't surprise me or Kaiba when he actually got that part later on. Soon Kaiba threw down his paper and started singing.
"There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so tired of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with his skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears."
My foot did not taste very good. Everyone seemed to be amazed at the deliverance of his performance. The teacher immediately gave him the part. Obviously, he's seen the movie in order to make such... Wow. The bell rang and the teachers gave everyone all their parts. I went to my locker and did the usual routine. "Hey congratulations on getting the girl lead part," I heard a feminine voice behind me. I closed my locker and turned around to become face to face with Tea.
"Thanks," I said flatly and went outside. Looking back, I saw that she was fuming to her friends. Probably thought I was some bitch. Good. I didn't need anyone to hurt me. I walked to Kaiba's limo and sat there.
Just outside of the limo, Mokuba was congratulating Kaiba on winning the lead role of the play. Of course, I heard the same old prittle prattle about him being the best. However, he did think that it was a waste of his time. Mokuba entered the limo, but Kaiba had something else on his agenda. My hip was resting on the door of the Ferrari, a phone placed on my ear, talking to Daddy.
"Meet me at the roof top of Eccentric tomorrow night. Around eleven." I heard the familiar tone of the phone. No "I love you" or "take care, Onyx". Nothing. To him, I'm his toy. Tears threatened to drop, but didn't as I heard Kaiba's proverbial cold voice. "You're not driving my car home. You'll probably crash it."
"Funny, I don't remember crashing it this morning," I said to him. I felt like taking my rage for Daddy on him.
"I don't care, that's my car. Hand over the keys!" He snarled at me.
"What? No battle of wits?" I questioned him. Knowing far too well that I always have the upper hand in the comeback department.
"Listen, bitch. I'm a busy man, and I don't have time for this kind of nonsense," he answered as he snatched the keys from me, got in the driver's seat, and drove off. I saw that the limo was still waiting, so I went to it.
"Hey Mokuba," I greeted him. We started to chat, but my heart was only half there.
We went home, did what was needed to be done. And for me, I went to my room and started to memorize lines. At the very end, I noticed that I had to share a kiss with Jack Skellington... Perfect. "Daddy would be so proud," I thought to myself sarcastically. After a while, I had at least one fourth of the story down. And I decided to go to sleep.
Seto's POV
Drama seemed to get me out of my boring classes into something even more boring. I was being fitted for a Jack Skellington costume, this was insulting to my dignity. But if I didn't do this stupid Christmas performance, my grade would drop considerably. "Come on out, Seto" I heard the hag call out to me. I felt my skin crawl as she said my first name. Emerging out of that fitting room with a black suit that had white stripes with the stupidest bow around my neck.
The drama teacher looked at me and nodded in approval. "Now you'll have to wear a bald cap the night of play. And don't worry about the make up, we have a crew coming that day." I wanted to shoot that teacher. Giggling came from behind me as I saw that Onyx was in her Sally costume. Glaring at her made crack up even more. She finally calmed down, but started again. My eyes shifted to where she was looking at. Even I had to laugh, the sight of the dog in the werewolf suit was rich.
"I don't want to be in this dog suit" the mutt said looking down.
The teacher scowled at him saying"you're a werewolf, you should talk like one."
Pain shooted up my cheeks as I laughed even harder. The mutt just growled at me, making me laugh harder. "People are staring, Seto." I heard the hag's voice in my ear.
"Let them" I said to her massaging my cheeks. She sighed and went off to the rehersal and started her scene with me and Santa Claus. Soon, a force pushed me to the stage. "This is going to be a long month" I thought to myself. After a tedious repetition of the same damn lines, we were dismissed.
Retrieving to my office seemed like a torment, but it had its perks. Silence companioned me again as I was working on my new dueling disk. The door creaked, my eyes went up to see the hag. Her appearance was intriguing. Hair tied up, this something that I never seen her wear before... A black trench coat. The outline of her slender body wasn't easily seen with her black shirt that showed her belly and pants. Her boots made a heavy thud noise as she walked up to me. My eyes narrowed, I didn't have time for this. "Kaiba, you think I could use one of your limos? I need to meet my father somewhere today." She asked.
"Dressed like that? You don't think he has a problem with his little girl running around dressed like a slut" I asked amusingly.
"Yeah, just like you treated me like some damn slut at class with the thong incident" she said looking at me.
I remembered seeing her ass, very nice. My cheeks felt like they were on fire as impure thoughts flooded my mind. Visions of myself fucking her until she screams my name for the world to hear. I didn't have time for that kind of nonsense. "As long as you don't bother me, I'm fine" my simple comment made her leave... Good.
