For those confused with the names of the story. I see that a number of you are confused with the English and Japanese transitions. Just to make sure, I'll be only using the English adaptations with the only exception is that of Daidouji. (This being the name of the company Samantha is running.)
Enough with the explanation. To review our mysterious figure makes a deal with Joey and Yugi and gave them super teleportation powers.

The Forbidden Love
Chapter Six: The Thing That Started "It" All
A few days passed by. As the deadline of the new contract grew nearer, Kaiba's attention was everywhere. He was attending parties, meetings and all sorts of activates that Reedington had to offer. Occasionally he would see Sakura and her friends however being the anti-social one, he stood away. However as the days progressed, he saw more of Sakura and this made him wonder why was she seen all the time. Back at Domino city, new events were about to occur, starting with one phone call to Joey. It was six in the morning when the phone rang in the Wheeler house.
A tired Joey answered, "Hello?"
"It's me."
"What? Who?"
"Have you forgotten already? Mr. Wheeler?"
His eyes perked up, "Wait, I know that voice. It's you!"
"That's right. Me."
"So. I'm guessing this is when I do my job, right?"
"That's right."
"So, what's the message."
"Tell him…'she' will be your key to your change."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"The message is not for you, Joey. It's for Kaiba."
"Alright. Where can I find him?"
"He'll be going to the Taylor estate this afternoon at 2. At Reedington."
"I know where the place is, okay? So all I have to do is think about it and I'm there."
"Yes."
"Okay."
And thus the conversation ended.
Back at Reedington, Kaiba woke up at the sound of knocking.
"Oh great, who could it be? Like I need anymore of this…" He got on his clothes and went towards the door. Standing there was an aide.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Sorry sir. It's just that…"
"Make it quick. I've got a meeting to go to in half an hour."
Meetings, meetings and more meetings. The merging of companies between KaibaCorp and Daidouji brought in interests into another major companies within the area. Reedington was entering another age.
"Ms. Taylor would like you see you at her estate at 2 o'clock this afternoon."
"Fine…tell her fine…" The aide walks away. He then grabs the phone and dials some numbers. The phone rings.
"Kaiba residence."
"Is Mokuba there?"
"I'm sorry sir. Mr. Mokuba isn't here right now."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Kaiba hangs up the receiver. "Dammit, he's not there. Time's running out…"
Kaiba's mornings were full of meetings with the important figures of the city. He mostly talked about the company. When it was 1:30, he had his limo parked at the same place he did before. (To avoid the media.) He was walking towards the estate when he had a feeling that he was being watched. He turned around to find no one there. He continued walking and that feeling returned. This time, however, he spotted the thing that was following him and to his unpleasant surprise, he found Joey.
"I didn't know that they let strays wander this city," Kaiba said sarcastically.
"Nice to see you too, rich boy."
"Why are you here? Are you here just to annoy me?"
"No."
"Then why Wheeler? You better have a good explanation why you come out here."
"To deliver you a message."
"What?"
"Do you know about the voice that called you before?"
"What about him? How did you know?"
"He gave me a job. To play messenger boy to a snot like you!"
"Stop play games, Wheeler. Otherwise you'll be seeing a lot of stars before I get done with you." He started to advance on Joey.
"Take it easy, Kaiba. Okay, here goes. The message is: 'she' will be your key to your change."
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Kaiba asked.
"Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I delivered the message so I should be going." Joey walked off and turned a corner.
"Wait, Wheeler!" Kaiba called and he ran after him. However when turning a corner he found no one there.
"What the hell is going on around here?" Kaiba thought. Wasting no time, he got to the estate as quickly as he could. He knocked on the front door and soon enough a servant answered.
"I'm here to see Ms. Taylor," Kaiba said.
"I'm sorry sir. Ms. Taylor is out on a luncheon. May I take a message?"
"Wait. I thought I had a meeting with Ms. Taylor."
"I'm sorry. She didn't mention anything of the sort. Please come again." The door closed shut. Kaiba, dumbfounded about what happened asked himself, "Seriously. This is getting annoying. First a weird phone call then Wheeler showing up thousands of miles away and now this? And that message…what does it all mean."
He got inside his limo and speed off. Kaiba wanted to get in his room as quickly as possible. However when stopping at a light he saw Sakura walking home lugging a huge cardboard. She dropped it repetitively.
Kaiba laughed in his head, "Ha! Stupid kid." Then he felt a strange feeling that never occurred to him before. This made him uneasy. "What the? God, I must be sick. This isn't like me at all. I feel…sorry for that kid." Kaiba kept on watching Sakura dropping the cardboard and as he watched the feeling started to grow. Then he knew what he had to do. He said to the limo driver, "Pull me up to that kid."
The limo did as asked and Sakura watched the limo drive up to her. Kaiba got out and Sakura stood there, only starring at him.
"Get in," he said abruptly. So she got in. She was very happy as he gave a big grin at him. The limo drove again and as Sakura was giving the driver the instructions to get to her house, Kaiba asked her, "Why are you carrying a cardboard if you know it's to big for you to carry?"
Sakura turned to him, "Well my class is doing a science fair project and we were going to use this as a visual aid. We're doing frogs!"
"Ah…yeah…" Kaiba said edgy. "How geeky can this be? This is even worst than the geek squad in Domino City! Why didn't you ask your friends to help?"
"Oh, because…they had stuff to do. Lot's a stuff. We're meeting at Chelsea's place this afternoon."
"And your carrying that board to her house?"
"No. I'm going to change. Then I'm going to Chelsea's house."
"Wouldn't you have to carry that thing again?"
"No. My brother, Tory, is going to help me with this."
"Oh."
"So, why are you here?" Sakura asked him.
"Because I had a meeting with Ms. Taylor, that's why."
"Oh, so did you meet with Madison's mom again?"
"No. The meeting got called off."
"I'm so sorry about that?"
Deep silence split them again. Kaiba blurted out, "Why are you always cheerful?"
"Hmmm?"
"I mean. No offence but you're like Ms. Sunshine. Your always bring out the good in every situation."
"That's the way I am," Sakura said smiling. "Weren't you always cheerful, Mr. Kaiba?"
"No…I'm mean…yes…but…not anymore."
"That's too bad…"
The limo stopped in front of Sakura's house.
"This is my stop."
"Okay."
Before she went, Sakura stopped and without showing her face asked, "By the way. Um…my friends are going to the amusement park tomorrow. Do you…want to come…I mean…"
"Uh…" Kaiba was speechless. Nevertheless in his mind, "I'm being asked by a little girl to go to the amusement park? How pathetic is this?" The feeling returned and having the choice to say yes and ruin his reputation to himself or no and making a little girl's feelings hurt he said.
"… … Sure."
"Great!" Sakura said happily. "Be at the train station at 10. We'll meet you there." She happily skipped over to the front door. Kaiba looking at her then closing the door to the limo. He thought to himself, "What are the consequences of what I have done just now? Stupid…stupid…stupid…"
While Kaiba is busy hitting himself on the head with a baseball bat what do you think will happen? Please R&R.
