Chapter 2
Ahhhhh… Kaiba! Joey gulped.
Everyone turned their attention to the cold hearted CEO whose serious cold
stare sent daggers at them. He was not too happy to find his brother eating
with Yugi's friends as if they were one huge happy family. That rude comment
didn't help the matter either. Things were about to get ugly.
"Ummmm hi big brother," Mokuba cast his eyes up and then down at the
ground, this isn't what it looks like."
"Strange, Kaiba's icy stare froze Mokuba in his tracks," it sure looks
like you're hanging out with Yugi and his friends to me."
"I...I...I... I Mokuba nearly cried, his warm tears stinging the edges of
his eyes.
"Get up! We're going. I'm not going to have my brother hang out with a
bunch of geeks. They are a bad influence on you Mokuba," Kaiba pulled his
brother up by his left hand and placed him gently by his side. We're
leaving."
"No Seto! I want to stay! I never get to do anything or see anyone
anymore. I like Yugi and his friends,"Mokuba squeezed his fists.
Kaiba narrowed his eyes at his younger brother's defiance and glared at Joey
who was happy that Mokuba stood up for himself.
"What kind of thoughts have you put into my brother's head Wheeler?"
he snarled his eyes piercing Joey's soul
"What? How dare you accuse me of that Kaiba?" Joey was held back by
Tristan from smacking Kaiba in the face.
"I heard your barking a mile away." Kaiba crossed his arms as a huge
gust of wind caught the end of his white trench coat and caused it to billow
out making him even more intimidating.
"Sheesh… I didn't know you could walk that fast or hear that well, but
this is you and not anyone else," Joey side stepped so he wouldn't be
directly in Kaiba's face.
"And I didn't think dogs could move so fast when they're under their
master's nose," Kaiba noted Joey's separation from him.
"What! Don't you dare call me a dog and you're not my master Kaiba."
Joey gritted his teeth and held up his fist.
"Ohhh… He's going to attack. Better get a chain for him Tristan,
"Kaiba quipped watching Joey attempting to free himself from Tristan's
tight grip.
Yugi hated to see Joey so uptight and put down especially when he was just
trying to have a nice picnic lunch. He knew Yami could deal with him if only
Yami cared at the moment and wasn't so occupied with his chicken.
"Yami, do something. Joey didn't do anything wrong," Yugi sent his
yami a telepathic link and gave him a concerned gaze causing the irritated yami
to growl under his breath.
"Fine... Kaiba leave Joey alone. You can stay and join us if you like just
don't be a jerk."
"Why would I want to do that? I have better things to do then just sit
around with a bunch of losers and get fat," Seto abruptly looked away from
everyone who was gawking at him.
Yeah, work, work, and work! That's all you ever do," Duke said out of no where.
You probably have a lot of health problems from being stressed out all the
time."
"He's got a point there Kaiba," Joey chuckled ho himself. Did you
know that stress can give you ulcers? I also heard from my teacher that it can
constipate you as well. Maybe that's why you're always so grouchy," Joey
laughed causing everyone else to burst out with laughter.
Kaiba couldn't believe what he just heard. How dare that low life say that to
him? He just downright humiliated him in front of everyone. He was going to
pay!
"Hey look!" Tristan pointed out, He's blushing. It must be true then."
"Man now I know why he's always uptight. I would be to if I couldn't
answer to the call of nature." Joey's grin widened.
"Guys lay off," Yami noticed how speechless and flustered Kaiba was at the
very moment.
"We have some dried fruit here if you would like some Kaiba," Mai
handed him some in which Kaiba crushed in his grasp getting his hand all
sticky.
"You can't eat the other stuff since it will only add to your problem, but
you can have as much salad as you would like," Joey gave him a bowl that
ended up on the goof's head instead.
This mocking had gone too far for even the calmest of people. If he didn't do
anything his reputation would surely be ruined.
Kaiba closed his eyes and tried to ignore the immature childish behavior coming
from all sides of him especially from Joey and Tristan. His brother was puzzled
by all the comments that he started to yell back in defense making the situation
even worse. I'm not hearing this am I? This was just a horrible dream wasn't
it?" he kept telling himself.
He was so stressed and tensed that it seemed like his heart skipped a beat and
his stomach began to throb painfully making him feel sick that caused him to
embrace his arms around his waist and lean over. Yep this was sure to ruin his
image.
Hah! I knew it was true! Why else would he be acting like that?" Joey
pointed out the obvious.
Kaiba would you like to lay down for awhile until your stomach settles?"
Serenity took pity on him.
"Serenity he doesn't need to lie down he needs to... Duke began to explain
when Kaiba interrupted abruptly.
"That's enough! I've had it with you guys. I'm fine and I don't have any
kind of problems," Kaiba stood up tall and bold ignoring the pain in his
gut that haunted him.
"Yeah right," Joey and Tristan both mumbled under their breaths.
"Mokuba, lets go now!" He yelled impatiently over his shoulder wanting to
rid himself of this humiliation.
"Why? I don't need to go oops… I mean I don't want to leave," Mokuba
quickly corrected himself.
Kaiba suddenly knew that he was still the topic of a joke or else why would of
Mokuba said that? If he was to regain his dignity back he was going have to do
something that no one would ever forget. That meant he was going to have to
deal with them in another way besides talking. Maybe threatening them would be
more sufficient or yet even physical contact.
