Well after thinking about it for a while, I have decided to not write the lemon next chapter how ever there will bea fluffy Josh and Kisty moment in it. Later today I will upload up to chapters through45 or 46 since this story is rolling so well at the moment but note there will be a delay between them for the do need some final touch ups before uploading. I will put my reponses at the end of next chapter, because it seems that some reviews which are in my box however not on the review section of the site, I will just say this I have email notes and I check both to make sure that I get the full reviews.

We last left Kisty and everyone at the house on the mountain in Mokuba's backyard and I have to thank my friend DH editing and I orginally had Atem with no date in the last chapter and she made herself get a longer cameo apperance by being his date which was sweet.


Chapter 42

The truth

The morning came and everyone was off to work, if you looked on the road that morning. Kisty lead everyone back to Domino, she was in the fastest car and Seto was keeping up with her and Josh, for he was on his motorcycle. Kisty laughed as she saw Seto speed by her, Josh looked at Kisty with a grin on his face, "Punch it my little angel," he said.

Kisty smiled and turned up the radio and punched the gas. Josh and Kisty waved at Seto as they passed him. Seto laughed at himself thinking that his daughter had an unfair advantage she knew the road so well that she could get away with it.

Yugi and Tea brought the rear in there car with their son and the two Kaiba brothers asleep in the back, while Mokuba pulled out of driveway as Kisty and Seto passed him down the hill and pulled out in front of Yugi and Tea's red car. Ann rode in her own car with Atem next to her, Preethi was sleeping in the backseat; they were a caravan of cars and a motorbike heading towards Domino.

Kisty got a call on her cell phone, as she was driving, Josh picked it up, "Hey, Joey yeah but she is pushing 110 right now, what up?" he asked. Kisty laughed she was not actually doing that speed, but doing 90 and they were on the freeway. "Joey says you need to slow down," said Josh looking over at her, that caused Kisty to laugh again, "I am going 90 Joey," she said in the background.

They went their separate ways Seto turned off towards Kaiba Corp. Yugi went off to the game shop, which was on the same exit with Mokuba following behind. Kisty and Ann went two more exits to get to Industrial Illusions.

Josh took the car and kissed Kisty good-bye since she had a work car there already to go if she needed to come home at early. Josh was going off to run errands for the wedding and talk with the investigators aka Joey, Mana, and Samantha, but before he left. "Hey before I forget to tell you, Kisty, Joey said that he and Mana got a lead on the guys that broke into Kaiba Corp," he said to Kisty as he was on the cell phone trading spots at Industrial Illusions.

Kisty smiled, "Good tell me, at lunch, see you in four hours my big hot meteor dragon," she said with a smile. Josh shuddered he loved the new nickname because it also turned him on, "Oh watch it or I may be here early and pull you away from the desk you're strapped too," he laughed. Kisty smiled. Ann walked up to Kisty, "You really love that boy don't you," she asked seeing Atem bring a tired Preethi who was now awake, and yawning next Kisty and Ann. Atem got into Kisty's car, he and Josh drove away towards the mall.

Kisty turned picking up her suitcase, "One word and you're fired," she said to Ann and Preethi. The Ann nodded, as she escorted Kisty and Preethi up to the building entrance off to work. Preethi, went back her deck, got out a candy bar, and ate it so she could have some energy.

Employees saw Kisty and welcomed the young female CEO back then they ran at the sight on of the same icy glare that she shot around at them. "Thank you, but you need to work more, less talk what I pay you people for, sitting around?" she snapped at the cubical part of the office and everyone looked at each other, same old Kristen they thought when really it was a sheep in wolf's clothing.

The thing the employees didn't notice was that she was smirking at them as she pasted knowing that her repartition hadn't changed a bit even if she wasn't the same anymore. Kisty laughed as she walked into her office and placed the suitcase on the desk, and looked at the latest of her reports in her leather chair.

Katharine entered the room soon after while Ann when to her small office that she was given in Kisty's absence, "Well the Queen of the Gaming world has returned," she said, with a pad a pencil in hand. Kisty looked over at Katharine from her chair, "What did I miss last night?" asked Katharine noticing the circles under Kisty's eyes.

Kisty raised an eyebrow, "You missed nothing last night, did a work out, ate some ice cream and passed out on the couch other then that it was good night," she lied, with a glowing smile. "So, you know Seto broke up with me?" said Katharine crossing her arms.

Kisty spun around and faced the view of from her office with a devilish smirk on her face so Katharine could not see it. "I know, he told me after I fully recovered from my attack, last night," said Kisty. Katharine nodded, "Anyways how are things with your father or is still the bastard ass?" she asked.

"You mean is he still holding that contract over my head, horrible as usual," she lied with another smirk on her face but then she had to remember to keep it hidden in her voice. "However I am attending the ball at the end of the month, the party to celebrating the merge of the companies as the announcement will be made to the press next week," she said.

Katharine glared, "I thought you said you wanted him fall down and beg for help?" she asked. Kisty laughed, "Look I planed the merge from the get go and I confirmed it with the board before I left to recover for the two months. Seto is taking VP of technology, and you are staying with me, here at the top of the corporate ladder," she said with a slight smirk not fully trusting Katharine even though she was lying about the job and was just waiting for the right time to see if she was the snake that set it up.

Katharine rolled her eyes, "You're expecting me to work with your so called father?" she asked in an upset tone. Kisty smiled and got up from her chair, "What do you think Kat? Of course I do, I am not the CEO of this company for nothing, now if you excuse me I have a meeting in the boardroom with the stockholders in five minutes. I am not going to hurt my track record of meetings even if it's my first day back," she said stepping towards the door Katharine was right behind her. 'Something's different about her?' thought Katharine 'has it happened, oh please do not let it be so, if it has she will be in danger as well as Josh.'

at the end of the day back in Kisty's office

"KRISTEN! YOU DID WHAT!" yelled Katharine, in Kisty's office suddenly that night. Kisty sat in her chair with a slight smirk on her face, "What thought you be happy to hear that I am engaged, even if it goes against Seto's contract?" said Kisty. Katharine rolled her eyes, "But engaged, Kristen? Your barely 18 and without a clue to who set up the thing from the rape or anything?" she said, "How do you know that Mr. Fiancée didn't plan the whole thing or KAIBA for that matter?"

Kisty looked at Katharine with ice cold blue eyes, looking like her father at that moment, "I have clues to the asses that did that to me, and would you calm down it's not like you're going to lose your job to him," she said with an evil laugh. Katharine rolled her eyes, "You can't get married the contract with this corporation says until the end of the battle of the companies you can't have sex!" she said, "Sadly I have to point out that your not a virgin anymore."

Kisty raised an eyebrow, for some reason Katharine was putting that part of the clause into prospective, 'but why would she do that?' thought Kisty. Kisty did not tell anyone that she and Seto terminated the contract about a month before she returned to work; they figured it would be safer to make the person who tried to stop it from being broken last time would try again if threatened.

"Katharine, my fiancée asked Kaiba to marry me, so I really don't have a choice but to marry Seto's pick," she said with a sigh even though it was kind of funny thinking of Josh asking Seto for her hand in marriage, which he did.

"I wish you reconsidered what threat that put all of us in," said Katharine with a long sigh. Kisty shook her head, "Nope, look Kaiba approved the guy and I don't really go with Seto's opinions but this one I will take since I am bounded by contract," she said speaking the semi truth, "I feel like a slave to the man sometimes."

Katharine showed a hint of glee when Kisty said that, "That's because you are," she said "Seto Kaiba's little daughter a slave until she brakes him," she said sounding like some one. Kisty then had a sudden flash of her rape, she heard some one called her something it was fussy now but then it yelled at her 'SLAVE' it said.

Flashback

"What's wrong Kristen, you little slave girl can't scream, your so good, yum," said a man's voice. "Oh can I do her again, she is so sweet," said another modified voice. "She is Seto Kaiba's slave until she breaks him," said the familiar voice. Kisty shook her head, and prayed, 'Please just end this now, I want to die just kill me.' "Slave girl to Kaiba," said the familiar voice but it was not Katharine's voice, for it was male and unmodified.

end flash back

Kisty shook her head, trying to push out the voices along with the laughter with the flash back out of her thoughts. She felt her wrists were tied and her legs strapped to the chair she was sitting in as if she was going to relive it again. Katharine watched as she saw Kisty go into a trance like state, she knew at that moment Kisty was having a flash back in her mind, and a small smirk crossed Katharine's face she let it stay there for a few moments until Kisty pulled herself out of the trance.

The young Kaiba female, shuddered and started to run her hands up and down her arms as if she was fighting off cold. A few scars that were on her shoulders and her hands brushed over them however; her long sleeve blouse prevented her skin to touch them. Kisty began to breathe heavily as she recalled the event.

Finally, after a few more moments Kisty began to spasm in her chair the thoughts were becoming clearer now, as she tried to push them away. "No, it happened but I am not a slave, sex toy or anything else," she muttered. Kisty repeated it softly but each time it just began to dig dipper into her soul that she was at one time.

Katharine waited five more minutes and placed a hand on Kisty's shoulder as the young woman put her hands to her face and began hyperventilating in her site. "Kristen, it's over, it's gone," whispered Katharine.

Preethi ran into the office "Is everything ok?" she asked. Kisty just ran to Preethi hugged her and cried into her shoulder which Preethi was not expecting but she began rub Kisty's back.

"Its ok, everything will be ok," said Preethi not really knowing that Kisty was acting for Katharine. Katharine gave Preethi a mean look "Why should you be worried about her?" snapped the VP. Kisty turned, "You just had to push that button didn't you Kat, get out of my OFFICE NOW!" snapped Kisty angrily. Katharine left with out much hesitation, Preethi was about to leave when Kisty pulled her in to the office and shut the door. Kisty walked over to her chair and started to laugh, "How was my acting?" asked Kisty when she got a funny look from Preethi.

Preethi raised an eyebrow, "What the, that was, hold on let me catch my self here, that was an act?" she spoke shocked and surprised. Kisty nodded, "Not bad for a novice, I have to remember to tell Josh, I fooled you too with the crying," she laughed. "You didn't fool me you just caught me off guard because you cried on me," said Preethi. Kisty started to pack up her things, "I guess so," she said with a small smirk.

An hour later Kisty left the office with Ann next to her and Preethi follow; they walked down the 100 stories to the first floor. Ann looked at Kisty concerned, "You ok, you haven't said a word since you told Katharine to go home," she said.

Kisty shook her head, "I had a flashback," she said softly, "While Katharine was in the room and Preethi wasn't there yet." Ann's eyes widened then she looked Preethi "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, I swear," said Preethi. "Did she hear you scream?" Ann asked worried. Kisty shook her head, "I didn't scream thank goodness I don't. Katharine just triggered something that one of the guys said when raped me, said," she spoke looking at the ground as they stepped outside.

The cool spring air blew in the light covered city, and there were some clouds in the sky. "Josh will be here soon?" asked Ann as she saw her ride pull up. Kisty nodded, "I called him before I stepped out of the office we're going to Yugi's house for dinner," she said. Ann nodded, "I have a dinner with some one?" she said, looking at her cell phone clock. Kisty giggled, "Would his name be Seto Kaiba?" she asked with a laugh.

Ann blushed a light shade of pink, "Yes, but it's just dinner," she said. Kisty glared, "With Kaiba, it's never just dinner," she said. Ann nodded, "Kristen, if it makes you feel better to know, I don't believe in premarital sex, ok," she said, "So I am not sleeping with your father. I am not Katharine Hawk Whore," she said with a smirk, "Although I wouldn't mind doing that," she spoke happily in a joking tone.

Kisty shook her head and laughed a little, "I know, I am just worried he will change your mind about it." Ann laughed at Kisty, "Don't worry young girl, I won't let the ice burg melt me or worse let me melt him," she said and got into her car and drove off. Kisty looked Preethi "Go ahead and head home the day is over," said Kisty with a smirk, Preethi nodded and went off.

Kisty looked around her and just as she was about to look at the security guard that was at the door, Josh drove up, "Hop in NOW!" he snapped. Kisty got in to the car and Josh drove off quickly but he did not go to Yugi and Tea place instead he went to Mokuba's house.

"Wait a minute isn't Yugi's house the other way?" she asked as Josh pushed the gas hard. "We would be, but I am being followed, I think someone is after me, or I should say us," he said, "I found out some information about the rape, you will be shocked to see it when we get to your Uncle's place."

They drove out of town and headed towards Mokuba's mansion, at full speed. Kisty wondered what Josh had found out, but what ever it was it was upsetting him. Kisty sat back in her chair as they pulled up to the mansion gates a guard greeted Josh. "We're here to Mokuba Kaiba," he said to the guard.

The guard nodded, "He is expecting you something wrong?" asked the guard. Josh nodded, "Yeah were being followed," he added. The guard nodded and opened the gate and as soon as Josh was through it closed and the guard disappeared, the defense system then came online. Kisty could see the red laser fence and guns pop out of their hiding places talk about major security, a small gift from Seto after his nephews were born.

Josh stopped in front of the mansion, "Come, on Kist," he said and got out of the car. Kisty looked at Josh as if he were a mad man, but she decided to follow him anyway, what did she have to lose, her life was all she had left now, and Josh. "What are we doing at my Uncle's mansion?" she asked getting out of the car.

"We have to talk Kristen," said a voice from the top of the stairs by the door. Kisty turned to see Mokuba and Lisa with their arms crossed, glaring down at their young niece. Josh pulled Kisty up the stairs, and into the mansion Mokuba and Lisa looked at Josh worried, "Did anyone follow you?" they asked him quietly. Josh nodded, and smirks came across Mokuba and Lisa's faces as they went inside.

In side the living room about two hours later

"Ok so let me get this straight, we know who did it but if we move now it could destroy both the companies?" asked Kisty. Josh and Mokuba nodded, they had just told Kisty they have evidence to prove who took the gas, broke into Kaiba Corp, who the men were that broke in to it and who had set it up. Kisty looked at the pile of evidence in front of her, a video type, a few of the gas masks, voice changers, neon lights, and a computer pass code. "It's a good start but how can these points to those that did this to me?" she said.

"We think the best way to do it is on the day the merge becomes official that way your company doesn't fall on its ass and mine doesn't crumble more then it is right now," said Mokuba. Kisty nodded and looked at Josh, "When we go in I want you with me," she said to him. Josh took Kisty's hand, "Always," he said, and then looking Mokuba, "We all are going to be with you. You won't have to face them alone," he finished. Kisty smiled and nodded her head, "Lets get the bastards, these facts prove it we strike a few days after the announcement that way if our person tries to strike we will be ready for anything, we get to kick some assess!" she said with determination.

The night of the ball came, which Kisty made the announcement about the companies, Kisty did not talk to Seto long for they had to make it look like they were mad at each other, and what better way then to stage a fight and it worked. Katharine watched the fight between Seto and Kisty, with her male companion in the back of the ballroom, he had long black hair and emerald green eyes; much like Josh's eye except, Josh was sitting two tables away watching Kisty. The plan worked and the next morning the real war was to begin for Kisty the one to get those responsible.
