Chapter 9 Gen. Corp.

Disclaimer: Still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but I'm working on it!

"I . . . have . . . a boyfriend." Serenity sighed with happiness. "And not just any boyfriend . . . Seto Kaiba!" She paused and chewed thoughtfully on the end of her pencil. The clock on her table blinked 11:42, but she couldn't sleep. She was in her own, blissful little world, scribbling away page after page in her diary. In detail, she described the night, starting from the beginning of the party. She smiled to herself as she wrote about Seto throwing Duke into the pool, (that jerk got what was coming to him) and blushed when she described kissing him. The night ended with a short, sweet goodbye kiss, like out of a story or something. It had been the perfect night.

"Who would've thought?" She wrote after mentioning for the eighth time what a wonderful guy he was. "He's probably the last person I would've ever thought I would date. I mean, he's rich. He's gorgeous . . . " She paused, then smiled. "He's absolutely perfect in every way. And when I'm with him, everything feels so right. It's magical." She closed the diary and put it away. Even though she was sure Joey wouldn't try to read it, she couldn't take any chances now. She would have to keep it a secret from her brother. But it was worth it. Oh, was it worth it.

Mr. Kaiba:

I am sure you have already heard of our new design for a virtual reality game system, which will be unlike any other game we have come up with. It will be the newest addition to our line of already successful gaming merchandise, and we here at Gen Corp. Gaming Industries hope you are interested in our product and would contribute your help to us. If you would like to arrange a meeting with us, please contact us via e-mail as soon as possible. We hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Robert F. Grant - Gen. Corp Gaming Industry CEO

Seto reread the e-mail, his eyebrows raised, not in surprise, but amusement. So, Gen Corp. needed his assistance. No surprise there. It was only a matter of time before they came to him, asking for help. After Robert Grant had taken over, the whole company had gone downhill. He was ignorant, inexperienced, and yet he had somehow become the CEO. Seto knew from the moment he heard about him that the company that he had once considered to be competition was making a huge mistake. Since then, his profits had never been higher.

It was obvious they were either running out of funding for their new game, or had no idea what they were doing. They didn't come right out and say it, but he could tell they were in over their heads - and they knew it. For a second, he considered writing a mocking letter back to them that would put them in their place, but quickly changed his mind. It might be a good idea to be on their good side. Who was to know? Someday they might actually surpass Kaiba Corp.'s success. It wasn't likely, but just in case, he wrote them back saying he would be glad to meet with them to discuss their product, even though he was dreading the thought of it.

Unbelievably short chapter, but I was having major writer's block. Please forgive me, and my update will (hopefully) be much longer later. Not even one page long…Geeze, I'm so disappointed in myself!
