MY NEIGHBOR, THE WHEELERS by: LeiDeeKaiba
Summary: All odds are against Seto Kaiba now: he has been overthrown from his position as CEO by the NEW Big 5, his bank accounts are withheld until further notice, and his mansion has been seized by them as well, leaving him and Mokuba homeless and broke. Now the brothers are forced to live at the suburban parts of Domino City, and their new home? An apartment complex just enough for the two of them – and guess who will be their next-door neighbors… (SxS)
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh by any means…how mortifying. And I'm pretty sure half the YGO fan population feels the same way. (T.T) Enjoy!
CHAPTER ONE: The Big 5's conspiracy
Seto Kaiba stood in his spot, not believing what he's hearing. Apparently, he's been called by his secretary (which was bizarre) to the conference room, telling him that there's an urgent problem that needs his presence. Now, he wished he still had the power to kick that secretary of him out of his company and make her life a living hell. But no…
Those traitorous Big 5 scums…those nosy, good for nothing scumbags! The meeting was about who will be the next CEO of Kaiba Corporation, and they had brainwashed everyone in the room, convincing them that his time was through. The men needed someone their age to take over and manage the company.
And since when did age become the issue around here?
"This is absurd! You can't possibly overthrow me!" he seethed. His knuckles are turning white from the clenching that he has done for the past 30 minutes. And yet, those idiots still find the guts to sneer at him. His ice blue eyes are radiating with white-hot fire of fury. Those traitors!
"Please accept out sincerest condolences, Mr. Kaiba, but the majority speaks for itself. As of this moment, you are no longer the Chief Executive Officer of Kaiba Corporation. Our friend here, and your late foster father's comrade will take over the company from now on. Now, I believe that you should take your leave." With a snap of his fingers, black-clad guards appeared at the doorway, ready to lead Seto out of the door.
"Don't bother! I can walk away from these worthless fools myself!" He grabbed his silver briefcase and, with a few long strides, was out of the conference room. Behind him, he can hear the people rejoicing for their achievement. Stupid fools, he thought. Watch me, I'll win this company back. And when I do, I'll make sure that you're kicked out of the country for good!
Kaiba must've made a new world record, when he swore all of the existing malicious words (and creating new ones in the process), making the demon himself cry in shame.
The Big 5 also took his precious limousine, leaving him with no means of transportation. They also cut off his telephone line, therefore disabling him from calling to the mansion and have one of his cars sent. Only one option was left –
Public transportation.
"Shit."
And minutes later, he found himself squeezed between an overbearingly smelly middle-aged man and a big fat guy while standing inside the bus. He's sure that he's near to fainting, and curse it, the bus driver isn't helping! The vehicle swayed and zoomed between the other vehicles to avoid traffic, and everytime that happened the two poor creations of nature squish him in between their slimy bodies. (A/N: Poor Kaiba…O.o)
"God, why didn't I take the taxi?" he grumbled mentally. "Oh yeah…I was too upset and stepped inside the first vehicle that stopped before me…"
Not to mention that he threatened the driver to let him inside when the driver insisted that the bus is already full…
"I don't care, damn it! Now make sure that this thing stops before Kaiba Mansion if you don't want to lose your job!" Sigh. Threats always work. Make it double effective for people who just have a low intelligence quotient and had no choice but to do as they were told.
Five minutes passed and the driver pulled to a stop in front of Kaiba Mansion's gates. Seto slapped a ton of money in front of the driver, before getting off.
He had taken no more than 5 steps when the same black-clad men from before (A/N: If you ask me, they all look alike…) stopped him from proceeding any further. His blue eyes became even colder, and if looks could freeze, he's gonna have 10 frozen MIB (Men in Black) in front of his gates.
"Get out of my way," he said in a dangerous tone.
The head of the men smirked. "You're not the boss of us anymore, Mr. Kaiba. We're ordered by the Big 5 to prohibit you from entering Kaiba Mansion from now on. And of course, that includes your little brother as well." As if on cue, another black man appeared, carrying Mokuba by the back of his shirt. In his other hand are their belongings: personal things and other related stuff. The man took no mercy and threw the poor kid onto the pavement like he would do to a garbage bag.
The kid immediately got up. "Big brother! What is going on around here? Why are they kicking us out?" Mokuba hid behind Seto, and the latter was sure he's more than ready to punch the living daylights out of them for what they did to the little guy.
"Tch. Consider yourselves homeless from now on." They went back inside the mansion, and the huge black fence closed in front of them with a "Clank".
Homeless? No! He won't allow déjà vu to happen all over again…not after all that he did…
"Curses!" Kaiba growled. He picked up their stuff and turned around. "Let's go, Mokuba!"
"But where are we gonna stay?" his brother asked him.
Where are they going to stay? Lord knows where. For sure, he's not gonna sleep in the alley! Or the orphanage…no, they are not going back there…
Seto had to set his priorities straight. A new home.That's the first thing he needed to consider – find a suitable place to crash in.
And then, he would deal with the Big 5.
