a/n: I'm horrible, I really am...but think of it this way, you actually get three chapters with one update! How that happened you ash? because with the random Ideas I get, I write a chapter for them and then fill in the blanks with chapters that lead up to the idea. An organised way to deal with lack of organization!
Ahh yes, and I forgot these in the last "chapter"
Title: In the Moonlight
Author: RyuSenshi aka Hisoka DragonHawk
Starting Date: 6/4/06
Summary: Though most see him as a cold hearted jerk, Seto Kaiba has a lot going in in his life. He's borederline of losing everything he's ever known. Can another blue-eyed brunette help him climb up from the depths of his losses?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. I do not own ANY of the characters, except a couple of space fillers, whom I'll introduce in the begining of the chapter that the fillers appear in. The only thing that is 100 MINE is the song that this story revolves around, which will be in later chapters.
Chapter 4
Tea stepped out of the long black limo that Kaiba had sent to pick her up. She was dressed in her midnight blue dress and shawl, as well as the necklace Kaiba had given her to take care of. She walked up the steps leading to the front door of the Kaiba Mansion. Just as she was abotu to knock on the large doors, they'd opened to reveal Mokuba standign eagerly to escort her to where it was that seh was supposed to go.
"Mom's necklace!" Mokuba said as he noticed what was around her neck
"Yeah, Seto seemed to think it would be in good hands with me. And I figured I'd at least try to return the gesture and wear it tonight." Tea explained. "Speaking of which, kiddo, any idea what that brother of yours has planned for dinner? I've starved."
"Actually, I'm supposed to escort you, since Seto said that it was a surprise. So you'll have to close your eyes." Mokuba has said this so seriously, that Tea couldn't help but laugh at the boy as she closed her eyes.
When Tea was stopped, she could feel her hand on what seemed like a chair. "Can I open my eyes now Mokuba?" she asked as she felt the presence of someone next to her. She realised that it wasn't Mokuba when she felt a hot breath on her neck.
"Well, if you must.." Came the voice of Seto. "Hope you like it."
Tea opened her eyes to see a small table decorated with a lace table cloth in what seemed like a garden. Scattered on the table were rose petals, and in the middle a vase of white and red roses. There were two chairs at the table placed acrossed from one another. Also in the middle of the table on either side of the roses were two lit candles.
"Wow...it's beautiful..." Was all Tea could say.
"Well normally I'd have wanted to take you to a restaurant, but with the company going the way it is, I figured a home cooked dinner for two would do..." There was something in Kaiba's voice that Tea couldn't quite trace. Seeing her expression he continued. " I actually enjoy cooking, but it's rare that I ever get a chance to. Nothing too extravagant, just chicken alfredo, rolls, and I figured since we're going somewhere I'd chuck the champagne and bring otu the ginger ale. I couldn't think of anything for dessert so I guess ginger snaps will sufice."
"It all sounds great, Seto. It really does."
The two sat down to eat their dinner. Throughout the evening the talked about various subjects. One of which was Kaiba's company.
"My lawyers and I have been trying to keep it under wraps, but the damn media's been getting information that they weren't supposed to."
"So what happened?" Tea asked concerned.
"The stock. None of us are quite sure why but the stock hasn't been adding up with our records. I almost think that someone's trying to destroy the company. But the only two people I can think of that would want ot do that are..." Kaiba explained, but Tea cut him off.
"Your step father or Pegasus." Tea concluded. "It's weird, but when I saw the news report, that was the first thing that popped into my head. So what's gonna happen?"
"I hate having to give up. What nobody knows is that the company has been fighting this for over a year. Not a month from now, the company'll be gone."
A/N
Once again, the chapter isn't quite as long as I wanted it to be. But I think the short chapter thing is kinda working out in a good way. So now y'all have an idea on what's happening with Kaiba's company. And even though it kinda ruins the surprise, I'll have to tell you that: No, Kaiba won't save his company. But I can promise that this event will be brought back up in some way shape or form later on.
As for the song that will be in later chapters (this will be at the end of EVERY "chapter") it is 100 MINE. If you guys would like me to send to a copy, of the lyrics, give me your email with your review, and I will email the lyrics to you with MY signature. They are also on my deviantart page with the "publish" date on it so anyone who thinks about using it, and does without my permission, will be in HUGE trouble. Muchos gracias, and if ya wanna, leave me a review.
