Chapter 5

Kaiba sat at his desk typing away on his laptop as he worked on a new security programme to stop all of the recent video pop-ups that he had been getting lately. He was finding it harder than what he thought it would have been since he knew the location of where all trouble was coming from. He stopped momentarily to take a mouthful of coffee just as he saw his office doors burst open as Emma forcefully pushed her way pass two of his security guards.

"We tried to stop her sir, but she just won't give up." explained one of the guards as he tried to grip both of Emma's arm behind her back while the other used his body to block her path.

"It's okay; I'll take it from here." Kaiba said as he placed his coffee back down on his desk and closed his laptop. He watched the guards leave and then spoke to his intruder. "I think you had better explain yourself."

"I've just seen Mokuba." Emma told him as she moved closer to his desk, and her tone of voice told Kaiba that this wasn't going to be one of her usual friendly type chats.

"And?" he asked rather annoyed.

Emma now stood right in front of Kaiba's desk staring at him disappointedly shaking her head. "You've really done it this time." She didn't get a reply from him only a glare. "He's staying with Yugi until this is all sorted."

"There's nothing to sort." he stated coldly.

"Well I disagree." Emma replied through gritted teeth.

"Get out of my office." Kaiba told her, as he began to loose his temper.

"No!" replied Emma as she slammed her hands down on Kaiba's desk causing the mug to shake.

Kaiba rose from his chair "Out!" he roared and slammed his hands down on to the desk too. The mug shook once more and coffee spilt on to the desk's surface. He lowered his voice so that it sounded threatening. "Now, before I have you removed."

Emma had seen Kaiba get angry a few times and had always left when he said then but this time she wasn't going to go anywhere. She also realised that raising her voice wasn't going to get her anywhere so she simply told Kaiba; "I'm not letting you push me away like you do to everybody else you care about."

Kaiba laughed. "Oh wow, lucky me." he said sarcastically.

"Yes Kaiba, lucky you, because not a lot of people would stick around after hearing what Mokuba had to say." She thought back to their conversation that they had where Mokuba had broken down in to tears at the thought that his brother may be a paedophile.

"And what did he have to say?" Kaiba asked more calmly as he sat back down in his chair.

"That you're receiving paedophilic videos on your laptop." Emma couldn't bring herself to say what else his brother had thought as she didn't want to accuse him of anything without knowing the full story.

"He should have kept his mouth shut!" Kaiba spat angrily as he glared at Emma.

"I didn't want to believe what he thought about you." she said sadly as she looked downwards. Raising her vision again she met Kaiba's glare and decided to change her last comment. "No, make that what he feared about you. But I guess he was right."

"You don't know what you're talking about." Kaiba growled as Emma let go of his desk, willing to leave his office at last.

"And this is the one chance that you have to explain yourself, so don't waste it." Emma said almost begging for him to talk to her.

Kaiba sat quietly for a moment before he opened up his laptop. He typed on the keyboard and began to open the video file that had sparked it all off. He pushed the laptop across his desk to Emma before he turned away in his chair and stared out the window, across the city and in to his own thoughts.

Emma looked down at the file that had been opened for her and felt sick. Mokuba had been right, the videos were paedophilic. She reached out to close the laptop to stop the sounds and images that she was witnessing when she stopped. Tears began to pour down her face when the child's face became visible for a split second. She had been watching what seemed to be a twelve year old Kaiba being abused in the most disturbing way possible by his stepfather, Gozaburo Kaiba.

Upset and disturbed by what she had seen Emma finally closed the laptop. She looked at the back of Kaiba's chair and spoke quietly. "Seto, I'm not going to force you to talk, but I'm here if you want to, or if you still want me to go then I will." There came no reply so she seated herself on the corner of his desk and waited.
