The Real Truth Behind Growing Up
By: SakuraScorpion19
A/N: Here is a new story behind the cold, blue eyes of the famed CEO of Kaiba Corp. As said in Kaiba's own Point Of View (POV), this fic contains some truths to growing up and running your own multi-billion dollar company without actually going insane! Do enjoy and review…feedback and constructive criticisms are gladly welcome…
Rated T for language….Seriously, if you don't like it...don't read this cuz there is a ton of swearing in this chapter!
Note I do not own Yu-gi-oh!
Chapter 2: It's not personal, it's business!
Guess where I am! Just guess! It's a huge building filled with offices, cubicles, computers complete with printers, scanners and copiers…aren't scanners the same things as copiers… and stupid, lazy people who I HAD to hire.
Yeah…I guess I gave it away…I'm not that good at games, except Duel Monsters of course…but, I'm in my spacious office at my "wonderful" job at Kaiba Corporation. Stupid CEO responsibilities! Sure…I wanted the power from Gozoboro for as long as I can remember…of course sometime after he adopted Mokuba and me…but this shit is fucking ridiculous! All I do is work, work, work, go home, work at home, kind of go to sleep…wishing for death and darkness…and get up to work the next morning! The same old damn routine…it's getting sickening and disturbing! Fuck Kaiba Corp. and fuck Gozoboro in the ass for being weak enough to let me take over his stupid, crappy JOB!
(Knock) What is that? (Knock) Oh…duh Seto…it's the door…you know, hand pounding on wood…Holy fuck! Did I just say that? I'm straight, straight as a board…uh…a pencil…uh…damn it…just answer the door Seto!
"Come in"
"Mr. Kaiba, sir?" A woman's voice rang through the air. Let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, it sure as hell wasn't an angel's voice…her voice was like…scary! Nails against a cold, hard chalkboard scary! Ear splitting, fear rushing through your heart and soul scary! Agh, the humanity!
"Uh…yes?" I answered dully. You got to keep the evil, cruel, mean-ass boss personality going throughout your career! It's a great way to warn your employees that you're in control of their lives…or just to keep their mouth's shut…either way!
"Sir…I've been paging you for like…five minutes and I was just wondering if you were going to take the call on line three." She said.
"Who is on line…three?" I asked her. When the hell did she page me? Do we even have a paging system in this shitty ass building? And I was just sitting here…staring into space instead of looking at last weeks profits. Like I need to know how rich I am…I know…I'm a damn billionaire!
"Mr. Kaiba…"Games, Toys and Fun Accessories" are. They were calling you back about the offer you made them." She said. You know…as I looked at the middle-aged woman standing in front of me, my secretary, I noticed that when she talks to me…she pushes her nose up in the damn air. What? Do you think you're better than me, lady? Who is working for whom? "Sir?"
"Oh…all right. Thanks." With that, the old secretary walked out of my office. "Bitch." Another note to self: Fire that old hag for someone with a kind voice, organization, a brain and…nice legs.
Now where was I? Oh…yeah…line three! And for those who are confused…you are not alone…I'm just as lost! Honestly…here's the history of "Games, Toys and Fun Accessories", let's call them GTFA, for short. I'd rather not waste any sugar in my blood on reciting their name…but anyway…GTFA is a small game store located in the west side of Domino who I had contacted merely a few days ago with a…business deal, if you will. They, like many small…insignificant… family owned companies, are taking away precious KC business. I'm not rich enough, you might be saying, but I'd tell you that it's not the money! It's the power! The power to control the entire city's population of children! Muahahahahahahaha! Wow…I laughed inside my thoughts…oh yeah…line three! I guess I should get that phone call so I can buy out that store then turn my attention to my next…victim…Kame Game Shop! Yugi, I might not be able to defeat you in a duel…let's not get on that subject Seto…keep calm…but now Yugi, your grandfather's shop is mine! "Muahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Sir?" A voice called out from the door.
I cleared my throat, embarrassed, "Yes?"
My old secretary answered, "Were you just…laughing?"
"Uh…" SHIT! "Noooooo…."
"You…you were laughing, Mr. Kaiba."
"Laughing? Me? Not possible!" I said coldly.
"But you…laughed! It's like…you…you're human." She said bluntly.
"Excuse me?" I questioned. Who the…hell do you think you are lady? Who the…
"You have…a soul…" She said almost smiling at me.
"What?" I questioned trying to hold back my anger. You stupid bit…
"I've got to send out an email!" She said happily.
What! I don't have a heart…or soul! At least at work… "Wait!" I yelled out rather slowly.
The secretary turned back toward me, "Yes, Mr. Kaiba?"
"You're fired…Samantha!" I yelled.
"Excuse me?" She questioned.
"You heard me…you're fired! Clean out your desk and get out!" I said with a smirk.
"You can't fire me! I did nothing wrong!" She yelled.
"Really?" I pulled out a folder from my desk. I'd been saving this for…a rainy day…
"What is that?" She asked looking at the manila folder I set on the corner of my desk.
"This…is your file. And Samantha, I must say I am very disappointed in you. Stealing from KC headquarters is more than a crime…it is a threat to myself as well."
"Stealing? What?" She yelled coming a few steps closer to my desk.
"Paper, a printer and one of the old computers down in shipping, if I remember correctly." Of course I remember, I remember…everything!
"What?" She said coming even closer.
"Don't deny it, Samantha, I have proof."
"What kind of proof is that?"
"Pictures."
Samantha flinched at this word. "What pictures?
"Here…" I pushed the folder up. "Take a look for yourself."
Samantha quickly walked over to my desk and snatched the folder from its resting place. She skimmed the folder and grabbed the pictures out of it. She threw the folder back on my desk and looked at the pictures. "This is impossible!" She said after a minute of complete silence.
"Not really…" I answered.
Samantha looked up from the pictures at me with a cruel glare. What are you gonna do lady, you can't take on Seto Kaiba and win…minus that short fuck! "Is there a problem, Samantha?" I asked with an evil smirk.
"Yes…there is!" She yelled. She quickly tore up the pictures and threw the remains at me. Stupid bitch… "I'm out of here!" She turned on her heel and walked out of my office.
What my dear secretary doesn't know is that I have copies of those pictures and I'll have the Domino police here in mere minutes. I grabbed my office phone and dialed the magic numbers.
"Hello?"
"Yes…this is Seto Kaiba, I have a criminal loose in the Kaiba Corporation building downtown…thanks." I quickly hung up. I guess that "thanks" was a little over the top…but one needs the law on one's side. Another trick of the trade…if you're good with the law…you got it made. Keep them happy and you'll be happy!
A few minutes later, a tall gentleman stood in my doorway, "Mr. Kaiba?"
"Yes?" I answered kindly.
"We have Samantha Underwood in our custody." He said with a smile.
"Thank you officer…" I pulled out another folder from the same drawer. "…here is my proof of the acts…and I will be pressing for the maximum punishment!"
"Of course, Mr. Kaiba…I understand." He took the folder from my extended hand and walked out closing the door. See what happens in the real world Ms. Samantha Underwood…of course, it's not personal…it's business!
That's all she wrote for chapter 2... also, this story is deticated to my all time favorite author and man, Shortstop...thank you for all that you've done for me...I love you sooooo much...Love ur #1 fan, Sakura...
