Corporate Troubles

Kawaii Chibi Kitty Angel

Chapter 1: BedHead Mornings

Light filtered through the gauzy blue curtains, onto the slender face of a sleeping girl. She lay on her bed, undisturbed, dark chestnut mop of hair sprawled across her eyes, blaring white bandages wrapped carefully in a bundle and placed on the mohagony dresser. The peaceful look on her face was cute, made more adorable by her pale pink lips, gently spread.

It was a picture-perfect moment, the very epiphany of a Saturday morning.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Saturday.

(BRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!)

Seto Kaiba bolted up in bed, cobalt blue eyes flashing immediately open. Clutching one hand to her head, she smashed the other down on the snooze button of the clock.

'STUPIDALARMCLOCKGOTTAKILLITNOWDONWANNAGOTOSCHOOLGODDAMMITWHYME???!!!!!!!!!!!!!' She thought in an incoherent stream, falling out of bed in an incredibly unladylike fashion, and swearing bluntly.

"Seto? Are you okay?" From the doorway, Mokuba gave her a concerned look.

"I'm fine, Mokuba-chan," she said, ressuring him, "Just a bad morning...." Groaning, she climbed to her feet painfully, and hobbled ever-so gracefully to the bathroom, snagging her clothes from on top of her dresser along the way.

"Don't forget to rebind the binding, Onee-san!" Mokuba called worriedly.

She sighed. 'Today is NOT a good day....'


Oh yes, today was DEFINATELY not a good day.

Sitting in class, Seto peered over her novel at a certain blonde sitting in the second row, where the teacher could keep an eye on him. He was currently laughing flusteredly, scratching the back of his head with one hand as Yugi teased him lightly about not having a girlfriend.

'His face is so.. flushed. Cute, puppy.' she thought amusedly. 'Real cute.'

"Hey, Kaiba! What're you looking at?" Jounouchi challenged, glaring. "Thinking of how nice it would be to actually have real friends, not just a company, a mansion, and a laptop?"

Seto stuck her nose in the Air. "Watch it, inu... Hasn't Yugi taught his puppy not dig holes that he can't get out of?" She smirked, cobalt eyes flashing. "Or are you too busy burying bones to listen?"

"Fuck you!"

Jounouchi lunged at her.

Dodging quickly to the side, smirking, she tripped him deftly. "Watch your mouth, inu." She purred. Turning on her heel, she stalked away.

Jounouchi glared after her, pushing himself up from the floor. Sitting crosslegged where he had fallen, he began a strenious- and somewhat bored- examination of his fingernails, pretending not to have heard a word Kaiba had said. 'Why is he such an ass?!' He thought angrily. 'It's like he's afraid of having a life. I mean, the only person who acted so distant and remote like that was Ryou-kun- but he had a reason. His Yami- his secret-'

Jounouchi's head shot up.

'...secret'
