Chapter2: The Interview

~*~

It was Wednesday evening; Serena was at the Domino international airport waiting to receive her friend. A few minutes' later crowds of passengers were arriving from the flight that had recently landed. Serena was trying to look through the crowds and see if she could spot her friend. Then in the crowds Serena located her friend she was expecting. This friend of Serena's was a slim young woman who looked about eighteen.

She had dark brown hair that was a bit below shoulder length and gorgeous looking hazel brown eyes. She was wearing a buttoned down beige shirt with a white collar and cream-colored pants. She also had on a pair of silver hoop earrings and a brown leather purse slung over her right shoulder.

            "Sakura over here!" Serena called out. Sakura's eyes flashed towards the direction where Serena was calling out to her. She turned her luggage trolley towards Serena's direction. "Sakura," shouted Serena as Sakura drew nearer. "Serena!" Sakura shouted back as Serena ran up towards her. They both hugged each other.

            "I can't believe I'm seeing you after 5 years," squealed Serena.

            "I know, I can't believe I'm back in Domino City," said Sakura in joy.

            "We'll talk when we get back to my house," said Serena as she grabbed one of Sakura's luggage.

"Okay then lets go," said Sakura as she hauled the rest of her luggage off the trolley.

~*~ ~*~

            "It's been awhile since I've been to Domino City," said Sakura as she got out of Serena's black Mercedes.

            "Domino City has changed a lot in these five years," said Serena as she also got out of her car and opened the back trunk to get Sakura's luggage.

            "What do you mean?" asked Sakura.

            "You'll see what I mean in a few days," said Serena with a wink and unlocked the door to her house and let Sakura in.                                                                                         

"Nice house," Sakura complemented with a smile.                                                              "Thanks," said Serena.

"Do you live by yourself?" questioned Sakura. "Yes," answered Serena.

"Don't you feel lonely?" asked Sakura. "Sometimes," said Serena closing the door behind her. "But I have a lot of friends," she said. " I see," said Sakura glancing at the clock on the wall.

            "Lets take your luggage to your room you'll be staying in and then you rest for the night, after all you look really tired," said Serena.

            "Good idea," yawned Sakura tiredly.

~*~ ~*~

Sakura gradually opened her eyelids as the sunlight poured in through the window. She slowly got up from her bed. "Sakura are you up yet?" said Serena as she knocked on her door. "Come in," said Sakura as she slipped into her white silk robe.

            "Did you have a good night's sleep?" Serena said as she came in. "Yes," answered Sakura. "Go brush up and we'll have some breakfast and discuss our plans for the day," said Serena.

            "So what are our plans for the day?" Sakura questioned as they were eating their breakfast.

            "I called my friends up before you came and I planned that I would introduce you to my friends," said Serena.

            "Where are we going to meet?" asked Sakura.

            "At the Domino City mall, 4 o'clock," answered Serena.


~*~

            "Sakura are you ready yet?" shouted Serena from the living room.

            "Almost," Sakura yelled back. She quickly slipped into a pair of dark blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a denim jacket. She hurriedly grabbed her purse and left her room.

            "Hurry up Sakura its almost four," said Serena. She was dressed in dark beige pants with a silver belt; a white sleeveless turtleneck and she had her purse slung over her shoulder. They quickly left the house and got into Serena's car.

~*~ ~*~

They soon were pulling into the parking lot of the mall. Serena and Sakura quickly got out of the car and walked into the main entrance of the mall. As they entered the mall, Serena spotted her gang of friends in front of a small thrift store.

            "Hey Serena," greeted her friends as Serena and Sakura walked towards them.

            "Hey guys," Serena greeted back, "This is my best friend Sakura," Serena said as she introduced Sakura to her friends. "Sakura, these are my friends Joey, Mai, Yugi, Tea, Tristan, Serenity, Duke, Selina, Charlie and Bakura," Serena said as she introduced her friends to Sakura. "Nice to meet you Sakura," they all said as they shook hands with Sakura.

            "So you came from America?" asked Joey.

            "Yes, but I use to live here when I was small," said Sakura with a smile.

            "So how's life in America?" asked Tea.

            "Well its great, but I've missed Domino City," said Sakura.

            "Let's go sit down somewhere and then we can talk," suggested Serena.

~*~ ~*~

            "Bye Serena, bye Sakura, see you later," said their friends. "Bye guys," Serena and Sakura said together. It was almost six; they were all leaving the mall to go home.

            "So Sakura did you like my friends?" asked Serena as she was driving.

            "They're actually a very nice bunch," said Sakura impressed. They soon pulled into Serena's driveway, got out of the car and entered the house.

 "So what are we going to do tomorrow Serena?" Sakura asked as she sat down on the couch.

            "What day is it tomorrow?" asked Serena as she came into the living room.

            "Friday, of course," said Sakura, "Why?"

            "Friday? Oh no! I forgot to tell you Sakura," said Serena.

            "Forgot to tell me what?" asked Sakura.

            "You're suppose to meet my boss Friday evening," said Serena.

            "Why would I meet your boss and I didn't know you worked," said Sakura.

            "Well first of all I work at Kaiba Corp. and I'm sure you've heard the name Seto Kaiba before," said Serena.

            "Seto Kaiba… oh yea now I remember he is the CEO of Kaiba Corp.," said Sakura, "Your lucky to be working at a prestigious company."

            "Well I guess it is lucky to be his secretary," said Serena smiling, " Anyway, he wants to meet you Sakura."

            "He wants to meet me, why?" Asked Sakura.

            "Well he's actually looking for a wife and I told him about you and he was interested," said Serena nervously.

            "You did what!" said Sakura raising her voice.

            "I'm sorry Sakura but I can't let you live at this state forever," said Serena with an apologizing look.

            "Serena I know you know how I feel but that doesn't mean my only choice is marriage," said Sakura a bit more calmly.

            "But Sakura this the only way you're going to be free from your stepbrother's control and besides by marriage you will be protected and safe," said Serena.

            "Even if I did decide to marry why would I marry a man I've never known or met and anyway I just can't take the risk," said Sakura nodding her head.

"There is no risk in this opportunity and you are going to meet him tomorrow and get to know him a little," said Serena, "I'm your friend and I can help you I just can't bare to see you live like this anymore."

            "I appreciate you for trying to help me but you just don't understand how much pain I've felt during the years," said Sakura as tears welled up in her eyes.

            "Marriage won't hurt you Sakura it will help you get stronger, just follow my advise and go meet him tomorrow," said Serena wrapping her hands around her friend's shoulders.

            "Since you're my best friend I'll listen to your advice and go meet him," said Sakura as she removed the tears from her eyes and smiled at her friend.

            "Thank you Sakura you won't regret it," said Serena as she hugged her friend once more.

            "Mr. Kaiba, my friend has arrived here to see you," said Serena. "Send her in," said Kaiba while he was typing on his keyboard. Serena stepped out side his office and went to get Sakura. Sakura was standing outside his office nervously waiting for her to get called in. "Sakura he wants to see you now," said Serena motioning Sakura to go in.

"Aren't you coming inside with me?" said Sakura. "No, he won't let me," whispered Serena, "Good luck!" 'Here I go' Sakura thought as she entered the office.

            Kaiba got interrupted when he heard the door to his office open. He looked up to see who it was. A young woman was standing there looking kind of shy and nervous.

Kaiba couldn't help taking his eyes off her. She had dark brown hair; a bit below shoulder length and she had the most attractive looking hazel brown eyes. 'No I can't think this way, I'm Seto Kaiba… but on the other hand something is different about her and I think she might be the one I'm looking for' thought Kaiba as he continued staring at her.

She was wearing a dark crimson shirt with long chandelier sleeves; a black skirt that was just above her knee and long black boots. " Sit down," Kaiba said coldly as he put the thoughts about her at the back of his head.

            Sakura came in and sat down. As Kaiba pulled his desk open and reached for his clipboard Sakura took a quick glance at him. She couldn't believe she was face-to-face with the multibillionaire CEO himself. He had brown hair, which at this state was kind of messy but Sakura thought he looked kind of cute anyway. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes Sakura had ever seen. Only if they were softer looking Sakura thought.

"So you're Sakura Kinoshi," said Kaiba, interrupting Sakura's thoughts.

Sakura quickly shook off her thoughts and looked up at him. "Yes," she replied slowly.

"Serena must have told you about me and the reason I wanted to meet you," said Kaiba clearing his throat.

            "Yes she has," said Sakura.

            "Serena has told me that you work as a virtual duel monsters designer in America," said Kaiba.

            "Yes, I work in very well-known company in America," said Sakura.

            "Well what do you virtually design?" said Kaiba leaning towards his desk.

            "Well we design virtual games for computers or video games," said Sakura sitting up straight. At least she has some talent thought Kaiba.

            "Why are you asking me these questions?" said Sakura, "Are they necessary for marriage?"

            "I just wanted to see how talented you are," said Kaiba.

            "May I ask you a question if you don't mind?" asked Sakura.

            "Go ahead," said Kaiba leaning back on his chair.

            "Why did decide to marry?" asked Sakura curiously

            "I decided to marry because of my younger brother," replied Kaiba, "He means everything to me."

            "And for yourself?" asked Sakura.

            "So I can have an advantage and support to run this company," said Kaiba.

Sakura looked at him in shock. "You just want to marry because of a company," said Sakura, "Love can never be arranged Seto Kaiba."

            "I don't believe in love marriages," said Kaiba, "Tell me why you decided to marry."

            "Well actually I don't want to but I have no other choice," said Sakura looking down.

            "What do you mean by you have no other choice?" asked Kaiba.

            "Well if you want to know I would have to tell you about my past," said Sakura.
