The Forbidden Love

Chapter Four: First Step In Change

The two of them walked along towards the estate. As Sakura happily walked ahead, Kaiba walked behind her. His thoughts were focused on the girl that had made her appearance rather abruptly.

"Now I'm playing babysitter with some kid," he thought to himself. "I didn't want this."

Closer as they went Sakura had gotten to a walk. She then stopped right in front of him.

"What?" Kaiba asked.

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Why are you always so cheerful?" he said in a monotone voice.

"… … …"

Seeing her like this, Kaiba felt uneasy. He said, "I'm thinking, okay?"

"Hmmm." She was silent for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "I was just wondering, that's all."

"Oh…Just to let you know, I'm not good at handling questions."

"Okay…"

The two of them continued to the estate. When they had reached the back gate, she turned towards Kaiba.

"Wait here, I'll get us in."

"Humph." He grumbled to himself while she knocked on the door. "I don't need a kid to tell me what to do."

The door opened. At the doorway, a girl with the same uniform as Sakura stood there with a smile on her face.

"Sakura!" she exclaimed.

"Hi Madison, how are you?"

"Fine, fine. I can't say the same about my mother."

"Why?"

"Because someone important is coming today."

"Oh yeah. This is the guy," and Sakura pointed to Kaiba.

"Oh! He's the one the news and the newspapers." Madison pointed out.

"I'm sorry! I didn't introduce you to him." She turned to Kaiba. "This is Madison, my friend. Madison, this is Mr. Kaiba."

"How do you do?" Madison said while giving a smile.

"… … …" was the reply.

"He's not much of a talker," Sakura said.

"Where are my manners? Come on in." Madison said while letting the two both in. The estate itself was as beautiful as inside as outside. She sat them both down of the couch.

"I'll get my mother. She'll be pleased with your presence, Mr. Kaiba." She happily walked off.

"She's cherry as you are," Kaiba pointed out.

"Oh, that's just her normal behaviour. Other than that on some days she's kinda…weird." They didn't wait long because soon they heard a loud crash and before them was a dark brown head with blue eyes. She was wearing a business suit that made her more sophisticated.

"Mr. Kaiba! How good of you to join us," she exclaimed confidently as they shook hands. "Tell me, did you had any trouble finding your way here?"

"No. Actually…I had some help," as Kaiba referred to Sakura.

"Sakura, thank you so much for showing Mr. Kaiba the way here," Samantha said gratefully.

"Your welcome!" Sakura said proudly.

"Come on Sakura!" Madison tugged her arm. "Let's leave these two alone so they can talk." Madison and Sakura hurried out of the room.

Samantha looked at Kaiba. "Well…shall we begin?"

And so the meeting began. Their first talk was about which company would own which part. Then it became a talk about strategies of handling their competitions and rights. There were some minor arguments and disagreements but they had gotten through that. After about an hour and a half, Samantha wrapped up the meeting.

"Well I suppose you have a lot of things in your agenda, Mr. Kaiba. I won't trouble you with the details of what we talked about. I'll set up an appointment with the company representatives on Wednesday, at noon. Is that okay with you?"

"It will do," Kaiba said bluntly. "That was a long talk. There's a lot of work to be done but I hope everything will work out."

"That's good," Samantha said. "Oh, I'd advise you to take the front entrance. The media caught your little trip through the back door."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Kaiba said as he walked out the door. "And there's more meetings? Like this? Oh, God!"

He walked through the corridor towards the front door when suddenly he heard what was that of an argument.

"No, you can't!" one voice shouted.

"Yes, I can!" another voice shouted back.

Kaiba assumed that it was Sakura and Madison because they were the only two in the house. Feeling tired he started to leave. However, curiosity had gotten the better of him and so he preceded to the lounge. In the lounge he saw not only Madison and Sakura but two more people. A boy with black short hair and a girl with brown hair in curls. Much to his pleasant surprise (he didn't show it, though!) he found a dueling table, two decks in their respectable places, a equal amount of cards in their graveyard and on the girl's side of the field having an Aqua Dragon fusion monster on and boy's side having nothing.

"What's going on?" Kaiba asked them.

Totally ignoring him, the girl yelled at boy, "I can attack you!"

In a calm state he replied, "I'm telling you, you can't."

Sakura displayed a calm gesture, "Come on, guys. It's just a game."

"Yeah," Madison agreed. "There's nothing to get all worked up on."

The girl turned to Madison. "I can't believe you. Zackary won three times already. I think that this guy is cheating. Back to the attack. I'm telling you, I can attack you!"

The boy, still calm. "No you can't. Check the rule book. It says in plain letters that you cannot attack me. Please don't get worked up about this. Besides, we have a guest. You want to be in your best behavior in public." He turned his head towards Kaiba. Everyone looked.

"Oh, hi Mr. Kaiba," Madison greeted him.

"Hi kid," Kaiba said. "What's going on? I heard shouting."

"Oh, that would be Zackary and Chelsea. Their good friends…once and a while. Their arguing because of a new game that my mom brought in."

"Duel monsters," Kaiba pointed out.

"How'd you know?" Sakura asked.

"Please. I know a thing or two about duel monsters. What's the problem?"

"You see, Mr. Kaiba. Before you came, Zackary and Chelsea duelled two times in which Zackary was always the winner. This time, Chelsea has the upper hand and brought up this fusion monster thing. She claims that she can direct attack Zackary. But Zackary says that she can't."

"Zackary's cheating! He always cheats! He's just saying this because he's a sore loser!"

"No I'm not! I'm telling you, check the rulebook. Better yet, ask Mr. Kaiba about it. He knows about duel monsters." They all turned to Kaiba. In his head, he was laughing hysterically.

"Oh, God this is so funny! I can't believe that these kids don't even know the basic rules!"

He gave a grin. Then he asked Chelsea, "Tell me. Did you sacrificed two monsters in order to summon that monster?"

"Yeah," Chelsea responded.

"Did you sacrifice these monsters and summoned this monster all on the same turn?"

"Yeah…"

"And now you're attacking?"

"That's the plan."

"Sorry kid, your friend is right. No monster can attack on the same turn it is summoned."

"THAT'S UNFAIR!" Chelsea shouted at him.

"Rules are rules," Kaiba pointed out.

"Told you," Zackary mocked.

"Shut it!"

"If your done, it's my turn now." Zackary drew a card. "HAH, you're finished!"

"Why?"

"Because I drew Raigeki!"

"Raige…wha?" Sakura asked.

"Good card kid," Kaiba said.

"What does that card do?" Chelsea asked.

"This card destroys all monsters on your side of the field."

"WHAT!" Chelsea shouted.

"Put that dragon in your graveyard!"

"NOOOOOOOO," and she put her dragon in her graveyard.

"Next I summon my Vorse Raider in attack mode. Then I can direct attack you!"

"Not fair…"

"What's the score," Kaiba asked.

"Let's see," Madison looked at the piece of paper. "Before you came, Chelsea had 800 life points and Zackary had 2100. So that means…"

"I win again!"

"You…you cheater!" Chelsea said.

"That's was fun," Kaiba said with a smirk.

"Yes, I'm king of the world!" Zackary said. He turned to Kaiba, "Would you like to duel me, Mr. Kaiba?"

"Your…your challenging me? How dumb can this kid be? Okay, sure…whatever."

Kaiba put his duelling deck down on the opposite end of Zackary while he re-shuffled his deck.

"Duel!" they both said simultaneously. After five minutes…

"I…I…I…" Zackary was stunned.

"Tough break, kid." Kaiba said with another smirk. "Better luck next time." Everyone had their mouths open.

"… Wow…" Sakura said.

"You totally destroyed him," Madison pointed out.

"Yeah, you did," Chelsea said.

"How…could…I lose?" Zackary asked.

"Maybe you have less powerful cards?" Sakura said. "It's because Mr. Kaiba has strong cards."

"No, it's because of overconfidence," Madison said.

"I guess your right," Zackary acknowledged.

Kaiba got up and started to leave. "Are you leaving?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, I overstayed my welcome," Kaiba replied.

"I guess we'll see you later then," Sakura smiled.

"Yeah…later…" he went out the front door. Back outside the limo was waiting for him.

That was…fun. I guess. They were a bunch of kids. That wasn't me back there. Wasn't like me at all. Sort of like…like…" he stopped for a minute. He thought again, "like Yugi?" He made a sound of disgust while going in the limo. The limo sped off with Sakura watching him go with her big emerald eyes.
