Chapter5: Relationships
~*~
Sakura had just taken her morning shower and was now blow drying her hair in front of her dressing mirror. It had been three days since Sakura moved in to the Kaiba mansion and so far it was going well. But Sakura was beginning to feel lonely, so today she decided to meet some of her friends at the mall. 'If only he spent time with me' Sakura thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door.
"Come in," Sakura said.
"Going somewhere," said Kaiba, as he entered her room.
"Yea, I'm going to meet some of my friends at the mall," said Sakura as she turned around to face him. She was wearing a pair of black flared pants, a white tank top and a black jacket.
"Well I'll go send Roland to get the car started," Kaiba said, " One more thing, when your returning from the mall, stop by Kaiba Corp. I need to talk to you about a few things."
"Okay," Sakura replied as she tied her hair up. Kaiba suddenly noticed a bright red scar on Sakura's shoulder.
" Where did that scar on your shoulder come from?" Kaiba asked.
"Oh ... it's... no... nothing," Sakura stammered, as she tried to get passed him.
Kaiba blocked the doorway and grasped Sakura's upper arm tightly and removed her jacket away from her shoulder.
"Tell me the truth Sakura," Kaiba said as he looked sharply into her eyes. Sakura flinched as his grip on her arm got tighter.
"They 're the scars that my step brother left me with," Sakura said tediously as she freed her arm from Kaiba's grasp and quickly left her room. Kaiba stood there as he watched his wife leave. 'There are many things I have to learn about this woman' Kaiba thought as he let out a sigh.
~*~ ~*~
"Hi Sakura, what's up?" greeted Tea. "Nothing much," said Sakura as she joined her friends at a table in the food court of the mall.
"Where are all the guys?" Sakura questioned.
"Oh they're practicing for a basketball tournament next Saturday," Charlie answered.
"So how are things going at the mansion?" Mai asked as she closed her magazine.
"Well so far its going well," Sakura answered.
" So how is it like living in a mansion?" asked Tea.
"Well its cool but sometimes creepy," Sakura replied.
"What do you mean by creepy?" asked Charlie.
"Well the first night I couldn't find the way to my room and I bumped into Kaiba in the dark," said Sakura.
"How exciting, then what happened?" Selina asked.
"Then we turned around to face each other," Sakura continued, "And stared at each other and then..."
"And then it was love at first sight," Serenity finished.
"Oh come on! We can't fall in love! We barely know each other!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Who said you guys can't fall in love yet," Selina said with a smile.
"Can we please not talk about that," said Sakura.
"I still can't believe you got married to a man you don't love," said Mai.
"Well I'm better off living with Kaiba than my step brother," Sakura mumbled.
"So have you met Kaiba's little brother Mokuba?" asked Serenity.
"Yea he's really sweet, unlike his brother," replied Sakura.
"Miss Sakura, Mr.Kaiba is requesting that you come to his office momentarily," Roland said as he interrupted the girls in their conversation.
"Bye guys," said Sakura as she stood up and hugged her friends.
"See ya later Sakura!" all the girls said as they waved at her.
~*~ ~*~
In a few minutes the limo pulled up in front of the Kaiba Corp. Sakura got out of the limo and entered the building. She walked to the front desk where a woman was typing away on her computer.
"Excuse me, can you please tell me which floor Mr. Kaiba's office could be?" Sakura asked politely. She had forgotten where his office was the first time she came here for her interview.
"Sure Miss, but I think he might be busy at this time," answered the woman.
"He wanted to see me at this time," said Sakura.
"Okay then, follow me," said the woman as she rose from her seat.
"What is your name?" asked the woman.
"Sakura," she answered.
They approached the elevators and waited for it come. A few minutes later the elevator doors opened and Serena stepped out.
"Sakura! What are you doing here?" asked Serena in shock of seeing her friend here.
"Kaiba wanted to discuss something with me," said Sakura as she lightly hugged Serena.
"How is it going?" asked Serena as they both stepped into the elevator.
"Well its going well so far," responded Sakura. Serena pressed the button to the fortieth floor where Sakura presumed Kaiba's office was.
"You haven't called me since I moved into the mansion!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Sorry! I was really busy for the past few days Sakura," answered Serena as the elevator reached the fortieth floor and the doors gradually opened. They quickly stepped out and started to walk down a narrow hallway. They stopped in front of a door that Sakura recognized from the first time she had come. Serena gently knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Come in," a deep voice responded. They opened the door and stepped inside.
"I want those files in my office in an hour! Is that clear!" bellowed Kaiba as he slammed the phone down. Kaiba looked to see who was at the doorway.
"Have a seat," Kaiba said calmly as he motioned Sakura to sit down.
"What do you need Serena?" Kaiba asked.
"Can you please sign this file?" Serena asked.
"Bring it here," Kaiba, said as Serena laid the file on his desk.
He quickly signed the file and handed it back to Serena. "I'll see you later Sakura," Serena said as she left.
Sakura sat there silently, unsure of what to do or say. "So what do you have to discuss with me?" Sakura questioned breaking the silence between them. Kaiba looked at her for a brief moment.
"Well since you are technically going to be living here, you might as well use you talent here as well," Kaiba said as he put his hands together under his chin.
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura, a bit confused.
"Since you're a virtual duel monsters designer, I thought you could help my company design our latest project," said Kaiba as he leaned back on his chair.
"What might that be?" Sakura questioned.
"We're designing the latest version of virtual duel monsters software," said Kaiba, "So can you assist us on designing this project?"
"Sure, why not?" Sakura said with a small smile.
"Then I'll get you an office here so you can work on your designing by using our latest software and technology," Kaiba said.
"Okay, anything else you wanted to discuss with me?" Sakura said.
"About this morning when-" Kaiba was interrupted by a knock.
"Come in," he said.
"Mr.Kaiba, you have to attend a meeting at this time," said Serena as she entered his office. Serena looked at Sakura, then at Kaiba. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting your discussion?"
"No its okay Serena, I was just about to leave," said Sakura rising from her seat. Kaiba looked at Sakura, then at Serena. "I'll be there in a few minutes," he said.
"Okay," said Serena as she left the couple alone.
"I think I'll head back home," said Sakura as she walked towards the door.
"I'll probably be coming home late tonight, so tell Mokuba not to wait for me," Kaiba said as he also rose from his seat.
"Okay," Sakura said as she left his office.
~*~
"Where is Seto?" asked Mokuba as he wrapped some spaghetti on to his fork.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, He'll be coming home late tonight and he told you not to wait for him and get straight to bed," said Sakura as she finished her plate of spaghetti.
"Then, I'll just go finish the rest of my homework and go to bed," said Mokuba as he finished the last bit of spaghetti from his plate.
Mokuba and Sakura both went upstairs to their rooms. Sakura decided to look through her family photo album. She carefully took out the photo album from her drawer and opened it to the first page. The first picture contained of a young couple standing together and the young woman was holding a little baby girl in her hands. Beside the woman was a young boy who looked no older than five. He had jet-black hair and piercing jade eyes. Sakura flipped the page over and yet there was another picture that contained a little girl not more than four with hazel brown eyes and dark brown hair in two pigtails, and also wearing a pale pink dress with laces. Beside her was the same boy in the previous photo, but a bit older looking wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. Sakura sighed deeply as she looked at the photo. 'If only Rez and I got along well than my life wouldn't have been as miserable' Sakura thought.
"Sakura I'm going to bed right now, I just came to say goodnight," said Mokuba as he stepped into her room in a pair of pale blue pajamas.
"Good night kiddo," said Sakura as she gently ruffled his hair.
"Watcha lookin' at?" asked Mokuba.
"Just my family photo album," replied Sakura.
"Good night," said Mokuba as he left her room.
~*~ ~*~
It was nearly midnight and Kaiba had returned from work at last. He directly went upstairs to his room but he soon saw that the light in Sakura's room was still on. He peeked inside her room to see what she was doing up so late. He went inside her room only to see nobody there. 'Where could she be?' he thought. Just then he realized that the door to the balcony was open and he saw a shadowy figure standing there in the moon lit sky.
As Sakura stood on the balcony, a gentle cool breeze brushed past her face. She enjoyed standing under the full moon lit sky and the little stars sparkling like diamonds. Suddenly some one tapped her shoulder from behind. She quickly spun her head around to see who it was.
"Why do you always do that?" asked Sakura as she looked up into a pair of sapphire blue eyes, which had a hint of violet in the moonlight.
"When did you come back?" she asked once again.
"A few minutes before," Kaiba replied as he stood next to Sakura,"What are you doing up so late?"
"I couldn't get to sleep," answered Sakura.
"Or were you just waiting for your husband to return home," said Kaiba as he smirked.
A tinge of pink appeared on Sakura's cheek and she turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
"I wanted to tell you something earlier, but didn't get a chance to," Kaiba said.
"What did you want to tell me?" asked Sakura as she slowly turned around to face him again.
"About this morning, when I asked you about the scar, you seemed so frightened of me as if I were going to hit you," Kaiba said. Sakura's face turned slightly pale. She didn't know how to respond to him.
"Whether you believe me or not, I would never hurt you in any way," said Kaiba. He put his finger under her chin and lifted her face. Sakura looked up into his eyes and noticed that they looked soft and gentle instead of cold and dark like usual. Kaiba looked into her beautiful gleaming eyes. They looked so soft and innocent as usual.
"Sakura, I want to tell you something else," Kaiba said as he gently grasped her shoulders.
"Go ahead," Sakura replied softly. Kaiba started to lean towards her, unaware of what his actions were leading to.
"What are you two doing up so late?" asked Mokuba as he entered the balcony slowly rubbing his eyes. Kaiba quickly parted from Sakura and glared at his little brother.
"What are you doing here Mokuba? I told you to go to bed before I returned," said Kaiba.
"I did go to sleep before you returned, but I woke up to get a glass of water when I saw the light turned on in Sakura's room, so I went to see what she was doing when I heard you two talking here," said Mokuba.
"Go back to bed Mokuba," said Kaiba.
"Okay Seto, goodnight," said Mokuba as he left them alone.
"Goodnight Sakura," said Kaiba as he started to leave the balcony.
"Weren't you going to tell me something?" Sakura questioned.
"Some other time," Kaiba replied as he left her room.
'I think I'm starting to see and experience the real Seto Kaiba' Sakura thought as she smiled.
