Chapter Ten: Threatening Phone Call (two weeks later)
The alarm buzzed 7am, waking Seto from a great sleep. He grumbled, searching for the annoying sound maker. Smacking it, he rolled on his back to look up at the ceiling. There was a grin on his face that wouldn't go away. He knew it would be there for a long time now. Sighing he got up, stretched, and proceeded to take his morning shower. All the while wondering what Claire was doing in her room.
Claire was up before her clock sounded. She was soaking in the tub thinking on the past events. She was also smiling to herself. /Divine things are happening now./ Bubbles rose and fell as she thought fantastic thoughts. It had been five days since she moved in her original room at the Kaiba Manor. Andreas was still her driver so she gave her appartment to him. Giggling, she sunk deeper into the warm water. Only her nose and up was visible from the bubbles.
Haruko was drinking coffee at her favorite cafe when Mac pulled up a chair. He sat annoyed. She gazed at him. "Let me guess, you can't find Claire?"
"Right. I can't find her." He took a long drink from the soda he bought. "Will Kaiba been in his office tonight?"
"Yes he will. He has lots of papers that are due tomorrow morning. Why?"
Mac stared off. "I'm taking Claire soon. I just thought I'd let him know." He turned to Haruko. "I want you to take him off his course, catch him off guard. Do something."
Haruko began to stand. "I have to be at my desk at 7:15." Mac nodded. "Don't worry, I know what to do." She left him in deep dangerous thoughts. /What an odd person./ She thought when getting into her car.
Seto was standing at the window. It was almost dark, about eight o'clock. He had a couple more papers to do, but he couldn't keep his mind on them.
Haruko walked in. On her final break at 7, she had gone home and changed into something more suitable for the situation she was about to do for Mac Hartnet. "Mr. Kaiba?" She asked in a soft voice.
He looked at her. She was wearing a short shirt, a tight top, and seductive eye shadow and lipstick. This outfit would drive even the sanest man insane. "Sorry, did you need something? I didn't hear you knock." He walked over to his desk. She followed behind.
"You're tense Mr. Kaiba." She was rubbing his shoulders. "Here let me."
He closed his eyes, enjoying the masage. "That's nice of you Haruko. I might give you a raise if you keep this up."
Haruko looked at him. "I might give you a raise too." She said under her breath. Seto was too deep in thought to feel Haruko sit on him. "Mr. Kaiba I know what you want." She seductively said in his ear. "I can give you what Claire can't. I can forget what happens. Let me help you."
Seto grabbed her by the waist and pushed her off him. "That's not going to happen. What are you talking about anyway Haruko."
Smiling she looked at the phone. In moments it rang. When Seto looked up from the phone, Haruko was gone. He picked it up. "Hello?"
"Well well well. You do answer your phone." The british boy stated. "Did you like the show Miss Haruko gave you. I loved in. In fact I wish I was in your shoes. Excellent indeed."
"Who is this. I don't have all day."
"This is Mac Hartnet."
Seto knew that name from a letter Claire had sent him on the second year she was gone. "I know who you are. What do you want?"
Mac laughed. "I want you to leave Claire. She's mine rich boy, not yours. We share things you could never have."
Seto chuckled. "Don't tell me what I can and can't do."
Mac was silent. There was anger in his voice. "Your going to wish you never said that to me. She's mine. And if I can't have her Seto," There was a pause. ",then no one can." He hung up.
Seto slammed the phone down. Worry was an emotion he was feeling. "What did he mean by that. Idiot." The phone rang again. Seto thought it was Mac again. He picked up the phone disgustingly. "Kaiba speaking."
"Are you alright Seto?" It was Claire.
Seto sighed. "Yes I'm fine. How are you?"
"I'm good. I was just checking in, making sure your not working to hard."
He smiled. "I'm fine Claire." There was still some anger in his voice but most was gone.
"Oh ok. Well Mokuba and I've cooked dinner, so don't be too long now."
"I won't, promise."
"Love you."
"Love you too." He hung up when she did. Falling into his chair, he wondered more on the conversation between Mac and him.
/If I can't have her Seto, no one can./
Ohh sounds like Mac Hartnet is a voilent dude. And Haruko, what a tramp. (lol) Well lets see what else we can stir up.
