Sinful Temptation
Seduction and murder was the plan, not anywhere along those lines did love ever become involved...
Thank you to everyone's kind reviews, hopefully everyone will be satisfied with this chapter (as crappy as it is), because of school giving me homework everyday…damn school…I won't update as recently as I did over the summer. Sorry!!
Chapter 2-II-
"I want you to murder Seto Kaiba…"
Seto Kaiba, the richest man in Japan?
Seto Kaiba, the owner of Kaiba Corp.?
Seto Kaiba, which all women swoon over?
Yes, that Seto Kaiba.
My fingers lightly caressed the cool material of the sofa, I had thought this over and over again since the meeting last night. As always, I happily accepted.
This case will involve much more cleverness, and Seto Kaiba is no prize to be won over, he had to be the most distant and cruel person in the entire planet. How do you seduce someone who is not willing? He follows all the beneficial traits, he's alone and attractive yet uncaring remote. But like in every other project I will always come through loyally for my customers.
I looked over to the stack of magazines I had bought earlier today, all full of shit about Seto Kaiba, it surprisingly shocked me at how much these bimbos worship him, like he's some sort of almighty King, which they have dreams of "dating". Since when do you see a stone with a woman? I mean wow he's rich, so are like 1/3 of the people in the world, so he's handsome, some guys are decent looking, why grasp onto something you can't get? It's just a hopeless wish.
I picked up the first magazine upon the large pile; it had a bluish cover with Seto Kaiba dressed in a transparent black shirt, half unbuttoned and faded jeans. Such a rich basterd; my finger, seductively outlined his muscular body. A large arrogant smirk plastered his face, what kind of millionaire was he? A man who sat alone in his mansion, his long slender fingers wrapping around a glass of red wine, as he sat secluded from the outside world of emotions, the only emotion that bathed him was the feeling of superiority over others.
Flipping through the magazine I found what any other teen-girl magazine would have, beauty tips, fashion tips, advice columns, hottest guys, etc. What kind of nonsense do these teens read? It was a good thing my head isn't filled with his useless crap.
Ah, here it is, Seto Kaiba's profile.
Name: Seto KaibaOccupation: Owner of the multi-million dollar company, Kaiba Corp.
Age: 18, youngest out of any other businessman
Favourite Colour: Obviously the sexy eye colour of his! Blue.
Favourite Duel Monster: Blue Eyes White Dragon
Pastimes: Reading, working and duelling.
Goals and Aspirations: To beat Yugi Motou in a duel
He's a rich hotty ladies! And as we all know, single! Any woman would be a dope to even give him up, I mean that's all we want, Seto Kaiba- the wealthy, sexy--
What kind of shit was this? I wasted 20 dollars on four magazines praising Seto Kaiba? Damn, what a waste, this isn't helping and I bet TV's the same too; well let me go to a reliable source.
Swivelling the chair around I stared into the glowing monitor of the computer; intently I began to type swiftly, my pale fingertips graced across the keyboard as I found all the information I had been searching for.
-II-
His Mother and Father had mysteriously disappeared; therefore he and his younger brother Mokuba had been dropped off at an orphanage. After residing there for a few days, many people came there with the purpose of adopting a child, everyone wanted Seto, they knew he was a genius but he would not leave till they agreed to take both him and his brother, they continued to live there with the support of each other.
Till one day the affluent and champion chess player, Gozaboru Kaiba came one day to donate money to the orphanage...
Obviously to get an image of a Father Teresa, I spitefully thought. I readjusted myself in my seat and looked out the window. The sun was just setting, pinks, oranges and yellows meshed together in the sky, beauty beyond belief.
I quickly put my notes aside and dug my sketchbook out of my hand bag, I hastily drew the scenery. I'll paint this when I land, I thought as I retrieved my notes. Ok Seto Kaiba, lets see what you did…
Being a determined, young boy, Seto challenged the title-holder to a game of chess, if he were the victor than Gozaboru would have to adopt both of the children. He emerged the winner of the game and thus was brought into the cold embrace of the aloof Kaiba family.
He was home-schooled, beaten and harshly treated, he never felt the soft touch of childhood again, now this was his life. His brother, always trying never revive the gentleness of his brother, he became a unfeeling, greedy, power-hunger maniac, till one day he murdered the step-father, which he has hated with a passion ever since he was brought in the hell which he called home.
Hm, so the great Seto Kaiba did have it rough, all this time I thought he was a rich, spoiled brat, but no, he knew the meaning of the cruel reality of life.
"This is your Captain speaking, shortly we will be landing in the City of Domino, if you could please do your seatbelts and be prepared, thank you."
Gradually, the plane softly landed on the icy ground with trouble, I stepped out into the bitter, chill of winter, walking through the small city of Domino
My untied hair whipped across my face as I pulled it back with my gloved hand, with the other I tightly grasped my suitcase. I looked down onto the small piece of paper, which I held, on it was a swiftly written address of my new apartment.
I slowly strolled into the small space, my face held a disgusted look, violet. But not one of darkness and demise but one of liveliness and happiness, at least the furniture was all right looks like the landlord followed my instructions.
Dropping my heavy baggage to the ground I began to unpack, after this I had to enrol myself at Domino High…
-II-
"You guys, the dance is in a week!" Tea yelled in frustration.
"Das why I'm sayin' we should set up later Tea, c'mon let's go outside," Joey said, sitting lazily with Tristan and Duke.
"But big brother, we should finish here, it looks so pretty," Serenity giggled as she put ornaments up.
"Joey, the principal entrusted me with a responsibility and that's what I'm going to do," Tea insisted, her hands resting against her hips.
"Joey, the pwincipal entwusted me, blah, blah, blah," Joey mimicked. Tristan and Duke hid their mouth as they sniggered at the hot-headed Tea.
"C'mon guys," Yugi ran over in between the two. "We're almost done, and after we can go to the shop, Grandpa has some hot chocolate—"
"HOT CHOCOLATE!" Joey shrieked with delight, as he rushed around the gym with streamers and decorations.
"What a loser," Duke muttered, running his fingers through his sleek raven hair. He walked around the large gym, where the dance was going to be held next week. Ah, Christmas, it used to be such a lonely time, till he found these people to hang with, they were all right but what he was looking for was a girlfriend. Sure he had girl's wrapped around his finger, he was a lady's man after all, but none of which interested him, he needed someone sexy and mysterious, new and surprising, someone…
His mouth dropped wide open, his jaw hung in mid-air as he stared into the hallway.
Her hair flew across her pale visage, through her sexy, secretive violet eyes, she was tall yet very womanly, her figure- slender yet curves where she needed them. A black turtleneck covered her body and dulled jeans, her black boots clicked through the clean floor of the hallway as she entered the Office.
"Wow dude, who was the chick?" Tristan hooted, peeking his head out the doors.
"I've never seen her before," Duke said, still mesmerized by her beauty.
"Damn, she's fine," Joey thought, pushing Duke and Tristan over.
"Joey, Mai wouldn't like it—" Serenity began to advise till…
"MAI! Where!" Joey yelled, sharply turning his head back and forth. The last time Joey noticed a girl in Mai's presence he ended up with a bump the size of a grapefruit on his head.
"She's probably new," Tea logically answered, upon the ladder putting up red, green and white streamers, not even bothering to look.
She appeared out of the office minutes later carrying books, papers and a school uniform.
Looks like the mystery, new chick's going to going here, Duke thought happily as he ran his fingers through his ebony hair. Tristan and Joey stared idiotically at her, their eyes wide open with flirtatious grin apparent upon their faces. Even Yugi slightly curved his head so he could catch a glimpse of the new girl. A crimson tinge appeared upon Tea's face when she saw Yugi-s gaze wander.
"I wonder if she has a boyfriend…" Tristan thought aloud to himself.
Duke's hand came crashing down upon Tristan's head as he fell to the floor with a thud. "Dude, she's mine." The words rolled off his tongue seductively as if he were accepting a challenge, his eyes had a shimmer in them filled with sheer determination while he watched the young woman's figure vanish into the ivory flakes.
-II-
Uh, wearing pink should be illegal, I thought over and over again as I walked down the icy streets. Blue's a sensual colour, but pink!? The only people that wear pink are preppies, bimbos and goodies, and I do not fit into any of those categories. How am I supposed to wear a blue mini skirt in the middle of winter? This is outrageous; I angrily stomped through the masses of snow till I reached the soaring tower, which was known as Kaiba Corp.
Now phase one of my plan begins.
I stepped into the heavenly heat that entered the building, behind the receptionist's desk sat a blonde woman who typed fiercely into her computer.
"Excuse me," I called to her, but she didn't look up. "Excuse me," I repeated impatiently, tapping my fingers against the sleek marble desk.
"Oh," she said, looking up at me, her honey eyes a reflection of weariness. "I'm sorry, but see the report and Seto Kaiba's not one to wait…and…"
"It's ok, I understand, some people are all work and no fun."
Good thing my job isn't like that.
"I'm here to apply for the personal assistant job," I explained holding out the newspaper to her.
"You and the other hundreds of girls," she laughed, pointing to a line of young, eager females clutching their pitiful resumes.
My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the never-ending line of women.
"See, we could send them home, but some of them might just be promising young workers," she explained. "But really, no one ever is, you might be the first," she whispered the last part, handed me a form and winked.
The questionnaire was like any other thing you would find when applying for a job, your name, age, address, an endless amount of questions. When I had finally finished, I stood in the lengthy line of women who continuously babbled gibberish about Seto Kaiba.
Oh, he's so cute.
Oh, he's so sexy.
Oh my god, I'll marry him one day.
Cut the crap, Seto Kaiba is no mere man that you can capture with minor looks and skimpy clothing. It takes a real woman with elegance and class to please a man of such a persona. And that's where my role has an interesting turn.
What pathetic women, coming to ogle at Seto Kaiba, well la de da, I thought as I neared the beginning of the line. Well it took long enough, it seems like hours since I came in.
"I don't care if you're receiving high marks in Cosmetology! I run a gaming corporation not a make-up studio! Thank you for wasting my time."
The girl ran out, her arms tightly against her chest, her eyeliner smudged by the tears flowing down her soft cheeks. Suddenly papers flew out of the door, which I figured were her application forms. Just one look at that feeble adolescent, tears running down the sides of her cheek like a hurt 5-year old really told me what kind of person I was dealing with. It was like a reality check, this was no other person, this was Seto Kaiba- the richest, most callous being on this planet, I'm going to need a lot of time with this one.
I took one deep breath as my black boots tapped alongside the glossy floors while I entered the hot abyss of hell, which the only devil could've the Seto Kaiba.
I took a seat on the cool leather chair and came face to face with his infamous blue eyes, I guess now I realized why so many girls came today, who could give up a chance to get a close up of this face?
He wore his usual business attire of black dress pants, a partly unbuttoned beige shirt and a deep russet tie hanging loosely from his necl. His hot cinnamon bangs fell over those irresistible sapphire eyes, yet they weren't as cold as people perceived. They were of a calm and distant expression, like a clear, dark ocean, which holds many secrets of time, which it cannot utter. Yes, those were the eyes of Seto Kaiba.
"Name?" Without a warning the interview began.
"Rei Sachiko," I replied with sheer confidence. This made him look smugly up from the clipboard he held, he gave me a priceless smirk and continued.
"Experience?"
"Three years of topping my class in Business and Technology and going to achieve the forth this year," the grin upon my face broadened as I leaned back upon the chair.
"Your confidence is appealing," he said, leaning over his desk. "You're hired." With no other words, he arranged the loose papers and didn't give me another look.
I gazed at him quizzically. "And those other girls?"
He smirked at me once; how one corner of his lips curved up drove me wild. "Kothra, send those morons home, I've found my replacement," his finger let go of the buzzer and he stared at me.
I smiled slightly as I grabbed my bag and left.
Cautiously, I tip-toed through the thin layer or ice, not wanting to trip I carefully and slowly walked through the darkness of the night. Stars twinkled in the night sky, which surrounded the crescent moon.
Domino, what a place, Christmas light adorned the joyous streets, children ran around with their parents, whom were carrying heavy bags filled with Christmas delights, it was a while ago since I had my last traditional family Christmas. This place seems more of a fairy-tale land where nothing bad can happen rather than a town of fidelity, well it seems like I'll have the pleasure of being the first to eliminate that thought from people's minds.
But what persisted to haunt me on my way home was the look upon his face. A look of passion, a kind that I've never seen before, it seems like he can have emotions, appears as if the wooing has already began and the first point belongs to me.
-II-
Duke, visibly fidgeted within his seat, his fingers continued to move around and his feet swayed back and forth.
"BOO!" Joey grasped his shoulders and shook the rattled teenager.
"Get your hands off me Wheeler," he replied angrily as he pushed his friend aside.
"Dude, what's up? You're like all nervous," Tristan asked, taking a seat across from him.
"Are you still hung over from that mystery girl?" Tea enquired stubbornly.
Duke smiled slyly as he nodded.
"Oh, c'mon you don't even know her," Tea rolled her eyes, rethinking why she hung out with these imbeciles.
"Tea, it's the first time Duke's kept his mind on one girl for more than an hour, I think this is serious," Yugi joked.
"Class, please quickly settle down," Mrs. Katyusa instructed, while she lay her briefcase on her desk. "We will be having a new student joining us today so I expect nothing but your best behaviour."
Duke straightened in his seat, smoothed out the creases in his school uniform and for the first time ever, paid attention in class.
-II-
How can anyone stay warm in a mini skirt when it's like 30 below zero? I asked myself over and over again as I ran though the blizzard of snowflakes. I pulled out my watch and bit my bottom. Great, my first day at a new school and I'm already ten minutes late and my legs arm numb. Could this day get any worse?
Just as the thought left my head, a lustrous black limo sped through the slush on the street, only now is wasn't on the street but all over me.
"Yo loser, ever heard of a thing called common courtesy!?" I shouted irritably.
Wonderful, I'm late, cold and dirty.
-II-
"Seto that girl look awfully mad," Mokuba said as he looked through the fogged window. "Don't you think we should at least stop?"
"Mokuba we have no time, I'm already late," Kaiba murmured, staring intently into his laptop.
"But Seto, it's cold and she's all wet!" Mokuba cried.
"Then she shouldn't walk so close to the road. Driver if I don't get to school in—"
"Sir, we're here!" The chauffer cried loudly in relief.
"See you after school Mokuba," Kaiba said as he stepped out of the limousine with his side bag just as Rei rushed into him.
"So that was you?" Rei asked fumingly.
Kaiba smirked as stared the completely drenched female in front of him, he brushed her away and walked into the building.
Rei's eyes pierced through the turned back of Seto. Don't worry, I'll have my revenge.
"I'm really sorry Miss," a childish, young voice apologized.
Rei swiftly turned around and looked into the dark limo, inside was a small boy with long raven hair and violet-grey eyes. He had a sweet, juvenile upon his face.
"It's ok," Rei promptly accepted the apology and dashed inside.
-II-
"Seto Kaiba! Late for class? Make sure if doesn't happen again!" Mrs. Katyusa strictly commanded as Kaiba took his regular seat at the back. "Now where is that new girl? Tardiness is not acceptable, even on the first day!"
"S-sorry Miss," Rei breathed out, she held the doorframe within her hand as she panted heavily.
"My word, what happened?" She teacher asked, staring disgustedly at the state of her attire.
"Some people just have no common courtesy for pedestrians," Rei replied, her gaze upon the blue-eyed frost.
"Ah, never mind this. Class please give a warm welcome to our new student Rei Sachiko," Mrs. Katyusa introduced.
She bowed politely to her new class.
"Who would like to her guide for her first week of school?" Mrs. Katyusa asked.
The obvious hands were up, Yugi's and Tea as they were the kind caring type, but then unexpectedly Duke's hand shot up, his eyes having his debonair charm in them.
"All right, Mr. Devlin will be your escort, please take a seat beside him," she instructed. Rei slowly went to take a seat beside her guide.
"I'm Duke, you probably know me as the inventor of Dungeon Dice Monsters," Duke flirted seductively knowing women liked strong, independent men.
"Oh that's you?" She said sarcastically. "The dice earring is so passé." She averted her attention back to the chalkboard for the new lesson.
Joey sitting in front and Tristan sitting right across sniggered at the new girl's comment as Kaiba, sitting behind them just smirked. Hm…spunky.
Rei brought out her black notebook out of her bag and began to copy down the note that the teacher had wrote upon the board.
Duke stared fixatedly upon her, not giving anything else his awareness, he had never come into contact with a girl with such a tongue. But he did not mind it all at, instead of being insulted by her comment, he felt even more attracted to her then when he first saw her.
It's so cold. Rei shivered within her seat, she ran her hands down her legs, attempting to get some warmth but she sensed nothing with her numb limbs. Her legs continuously trembled, she wrapped the thin pink jacket even tighter around her body, but nothing help.
"Here take my jacket," Duke said as he lay it over my legs, he said it with such tenderness and affection, his jade eyes were so warm, instantly filling Rei with a feeling of sincerity.
Instead of insulting him, a blush appeared upon her face as she accepted graciously. "T-thanks," Rei replied, wrapping the woolly cloth securely around her legs. "But won't you get in—"
"Don't worry about it," he said smiling as he wrote down his note. "It's only a jacket."
Rei looked away with a shy grin upon her face, no one had ever been so polite to her before. Usual they treated her like a maid, making her pick after what they started.
-II-
I have to get home soon, I rushed through the snow, holding down my skirt and carrying my loaded bag.
Today wasn't that bad of a day, people are kind in this town, where am I going to fit in? Duke invited me to eat lunch with him and I accepted, I mean after all he did offer me his jacket. I already have impressions of each of his friends, sure the saying is looks can be deceiving (and I am a fine example) but I think I'm pretty accurate.
Yugi- a shy yet very sweet boy with large violet eyes, whic are unlike mine. He's are filled iwth hope and happiness. Willing to give anyone a chance; but something about him is off. When I'm around him I can't help but feel another presence, a much more darker presence, I'll have to get to know him better.
Tea- also a very shy yet sweet person; I can't help but she has a crush on Yugi, the way she looked at him all through lunch, I'm even surprised Yugi doesn't himself. She had such kind cerulean eyes but when push comes to shove she doesn't let anyone get the best of her.
Joey- what a fool, a major dork, but still his idiocy can't help but make me burst out into laughter. Laughter, I haven't been so open with people in such a long time, it feels pleasant inside. He had deep russet eyes that joy and remorse fought over, something happened in his life; whatever it was his girlfriend Mai, I think it was it helping.
Tristan- he is so obsessed with Joey's sister Serenity, but he's also a dork like his best friend Joey.
Serenity- Joey's younger sister, she gentle yet much too naïve for my taste. Her olive eyes are much too innocent, too unknowing of the cruel realties of the world.
And we get to Duke- very charming and sly, his mysterious emerald iris' just soak me in such lust iit's unimaginable, he might come in handy to lure Seto Kaiba into my net.
"Yo, Rei!"
My tresses lashed across my face, I stopped in place as I waited for the group to catch to where I was. I'll have to get them off my case, I had to be alone for some time before I get to work.
"Hey," I said unemotionally, as I pulled down my skirt.
"Don't worry, you get used to it," she said, referring to my skirt. "I usually pool with Duke," Tea replied, with a large smile plastered upon her face as usual.
"I can give you one to you know," Duke offered smirking.
"That's ok, I think I'll ride my bike here too more," I declined, this friendship thing had limits.
Everyone gave me a questioning look.
"It's way to slippery," Yugi said with concern.
"I meant my motorcycle," I smirked at their stupidity.
"Hey, that's cool," Joey commented. "I gotta bike to, but Seren' doesn't let me ride it in the winter."
"Why," I questioned, a brow rose up.
"You know accidents and shit like that," Joey replied as Serenity's hand collided into Joey's head.
"Dying isn't shit big brother," she scolded like a mother would.
Suddenly, a black flash zoomed right passed everyone, causing slush to fly all over everyone.
"Yo, moneybags! Ya stupid or something? Can't a drive your own car!?" Joey angrily yelled at what I figured was Kaiba's car.
Ah, Seto Kaiba you speed away from me now. But what shall you do when I have you trapped within my boundaries of love, how will you escape then? Hwo shall you escape your inevitable death that will be handed to you be the one you will learn to love so dearly?
