LefthandedFreak: Hello again everyone!
Kaiba: You just can't get off this story can you?
LefthandedFreak: Nope, and I'm trying hard not to. I'm easily distracted by…oh shiny coin (picks up penny) um…what was I saying?
Joey: You were introducing the chapter.
LefthandedFreak: Oh yeah. Oh, and Dagger, I've noticed the same thing about Joey. But luckily for him, and just cause I wanted to, he sort of figures it out in this chapter. Also, your not alone, I've picked up the vibe too. It's really hard to miss after awhile. I've even made spotting it a game!
Yami: What's going on with Yugi and me?
LefthandedFreak: Oh that's next chapter
Yugi: You said it was last chapter last time!
LefthandedFreak: I know but I couldn't afford for you two to run off. I already had to threaten Kaiba and Joey. (The two shiver) Now do you want to be like them and sad and gloomy or volunteer without feeling a lot of pain?
Yugi: I'll go with less pain.
Yami: Me too.
LefthandedFreak: I thought you would! (Gives Dagger plushie of Yugi and Yami hugging) They're so cute! Too you! Let's get this story started! Oh and I don't own anything if you haven't caught that yet.
Onto the evil!
Only a week had passed since the last confrontation with Fate, and Joey was a mess. He hadn't been able to sleep since his dreams haunted him with images of everything from that day with Kaiba and Fate, and he couldn't stop his endless pacing in his house.
He was going insane he just knew it. He couldn't like Kaiba. He wasn't gay. He was perfectly straight. Then again, after Fate and him had the brief confrontation, he had noticed certain things in his life that made sense of it all. He even managed to spend a day with Mai and suddenly couldn't realize why he liked her so much. She was a good friend, that was for sure, but wasn't what he was looking for.
But Kaiba? Of all people it just had to be the stubborn ass. Joey picked up a box of cereal and started to make a seaming less hard breakfast and managed to poor the milk all over the floor, along with knocking over a few vials of spices. Oh that's it!
Joey gathered up his coat and headed for the door. He was going to confront Kaiba again, try and clear his head, and finally figure out if he really did have feelings for Kaiba. If nothing happened, Kaiba would just beat the crap out of him and he'd be on a hit list for assassins. If something did happen, he was two feet into his own grave.
Before leaving, Joey managed to knock over the coat rack, which knocked into the hallway dresser, which knocked into the mirror, which all knocked onto the floor. Joey couldn't help but flinch before he left.
Head down this hall, take a right, do a semi circle, jump over the water fountain, make sure not to hit that fire alarm, spin past the group of giggling employees and, tada, you've turned in your report to the big man, who leers down at you as you pant for air. Fate couldn't help but clutch her chest as she gasped for air, Kaiba flipping through her report as he sipped his coffee.
"Hmm, well you've done better than I expected." Kaiba handed the report back to Fate before turning around and facing the outside world, only broken off a piece of glass. "Make sure it get's to the first floor for faxing in…five minutes"
Oh Kaiba could be such a-
"Mr. Kaiba?", Ann's voice rang through the small intercom on his desk. Kaiba sighed and clicked the red button.
"Yes Ann?"
"There's a Mr. Wheeler here to see you". Kaiba glanced up at Fate who suddenly got the idea that it would be best if she left, which she did, stopping outside the doors to hear the rest of what was said.
"Tell him to make an appointment like the rest"
"He says it's important sir"
"He'll just have to wait like the others, ok? Send him away"
"Yes sir". Fate speed off as she heard the intercom click off. She only had 5 seconds to get down there before Joey left and she really had to hoof it.
"Listen, I don't care what he's doing now, I'm going to talk to him!", Joey was enraged. That, that! Oh, no words could describe how much of an ass Kaiba was, it was impossible.
Ann sighed, aggravated," Sir, if you don't leave on your own, I will have you forced from the premises". Joey growled before nearly jumping as someone touched his shoulder.
"Hey Joey", Fate tried not to seem like she had just ran down forty flights of stairs (the elevators where still broken) as she smiled at Joey's flushed face. "What's up?"
Ann peered from over her desk. "You know this man?"
Fate smiled evi…sweetly before nodding. "Yeap, he's my cousin". Joey looked at her, causing Fate to jab him in the arm, telling to play along. Luckily, he got it.
"Yeah, the emergency was that.. um…her cat had to go to the hospital. She loves that thing more than life itself".
Fate placed a look of aghast and fear on her face, "Oh no! Oh Joey, could you please get my papers on him, to prove I own him, their on my desk". Joey wasted no time in taking off and for the stairs. Fate smiled slyly and whistling, walked over to a bench and sat down.
Ann looked confused," You need papers of proof when you go to the vet now?"
Kaiba snuggled deep into his big, leather, armchair. Oh it was so comfortable and soft. The perfect sleeping chair. That is, until his doors where swung open and close violently, disturbing his piece.
"Who is it?", Kaiba asked as he spun around to face the intruder but stopped short when he saw a panting Joey at the door.
"We need to talk". Joey regained his composure and sauntered over to Kaiba, sitting opposite of the boss man.
"About what?"
"About…", Joey suddenly found his feet a bit interesting at that moment. Hey, that's a neat shade of grass stain. Note to self: Clean that off and save it!
"There's no need to discuss that", Kaiba caught on pretty fast. I guess you have to if your gonna own a multi billion dollar company. That or you have to be extremely lucky.
"Well, I think there is"
"Why, pray tell, do you find that of utter concern?" What sort of word was utter anyways?
"Because, I, well, I don't know, I just do", Joey fidgeted a bit. Talking to Kaiba was like facing off with a deadly Python. Joey would take the Python any day.
"What, are you homophobic? Is that it? Have you come here to taunt? Let me set you straight Wheeler, whatever you say is not gonna phase me", Kaiba started working on something that he found suddenly interesting on his computer.
"No, it's not that"
Kaiba glanced at him before leaning across his desk, breathing down Joey's neck. Oh, breath Joey breath "What is it then?"Oh, Joey breathe, breathe! Kaiba was way too close for his own liking. But maybe that liking was only in his thoughts. Joey quickly took a quick breath, cleared his head of all thoughts, and took the plunge.
Kaiba was phased! Not every day do you have a certain Joey Wheeler attack your lips? A certain nice, not to mention attractive, Joey Wheeler. But this was probably part of the torment. That's it. Act like he likes you and then hurt you. It happens all the time to people like him. People like Kaiba.
It didn't take long for Kaiba to regain his composure and knock Joey off and to the ground. Joey himself was a bit too dazed to notice. That was…attraction he was feeling. Oh no, oh no. Anyone but Kaiba!
"I bet you thought that was funny Wheeler. Well let me share this with you", Joey suddenly felt a pair of strong arms on him. Kaiba had managed to call a security guard in the short minutes it had taken Joey to regain himself. "I always have the last laugh!"
Fate couldn't help but wince as she saw Joey hit the ground outside. She couldn't go help him though, Ann had ratted her out to Kaiba and he was now a little eager to see her. Fate slowly grudged up the stairs to her awaited doom and found that time goes faster when your dreading something rather than when your not. It didn't even take her long to cross the football field hallway.
Fate took a deep breath and stepped through the double office doors.
"I see you let Joey up to see me", Kaiba was glaring sullenly at his reflection. "Well now that you two shared your little laugh, I will now deal your punishment"
"Oh come on Kaiba, I was only trying to help. He really wanted to see you", Fate pleaded.
"Yeah, so he could have his little fun and joke about it later. Probably tell the press". Fate hoped that hadn't caused another vein to the head.
"Kaiba, it's not like that"
"Well if it's not like that then how is it!". Fate crossed around the desk and drew back the blinds that hid the front part of the building apart.
"Look down there and what do you think you'll see?"
Kaiba raised a brow, "An empty street judging by the hour."
"Not that, I meant about Joey. He's still down there"
"He's probably laughing then." Kaiba huffed before he felt Fate push him to the window to peer out.
"Really? Take another look". Kaiba was about ready to have her kicked out too, a little more forcefully than Joey, but stopped when he saw the blonde haired boy.(AN: Don't ask how they can see him from high up. They have good eyesight) Joey looked extremely depressed and hurt as he pulled himself up from the ground.
"See? He wasn't trying to trick you. He was trying to show you how he fealt the best way he could. He really cares Kaiba.", Kaiba didn't move as Fate leaned closer to his ear from around his shoulder.
"Go to him"
It didn't take long for Kaiba to get up and out of his chair, cross the floor and head out the doors. Fate stood there for a few minutes, by herself.
"3, 2, 1…", Kaiba strolled back through the door and pointed at her.
"Oh by the way, your fired"
"I know sir"
Kaiba nodded, "Good", he turned around and left, leaving a smiling Fate behind.
"Oh I'm good"
LefthandedFreak: Fate is so good! Anyways, that's it for now! I hope you like what's gonna happen next too!
Joey: You don't even know if she likes this!
LefthandedFreak: I know, but I bet she'll like the whole big love triangle. Fate is so gonna have a headache.
Kaiba: You are evil.
LefthandedFreak: (smiles demonically) I know. I even managed to have a light saber battle at school.
Yugi: No you didn't.
LefthandedFreak: Yeah I did (shows missing hand)
Yami: uhh….Read and Review please.
