Chapter 9

Girlfight Part 1

4:30 P.M.

Seto have been driving for quite some time now. Since he turned the radio off, the car was completely silent and only the rush of the afternoon wind could be heard.Keket turned her attention towards the high-tech architecture that was Tokyo, Japan.She leaned back in her seat resting her head on her arm.

First the monsters, then the fight with Marik and now this? Her life was defiantly going to be something special to tell about it when she goes back home. Speaking of which...

"Seto?"

He kept his eyes on the road displaying his silent emotionless face.Keket figured it was not the time to ask question. Maybe later.

They took a near by exit which led to the inner city. The Amazon green eyed girl lifted herself out of her seat in pure awe over the scenery.

Seto noticed and smiled a little. Not even Ishizu would get this excited over things like this. She would always get technical with everything. He stopped at a traffic light.

"Keket?"

"Huh?"

"Look under your seat. I have a present for you."

"A...present?" Keket blinked in curiosity and looked under her seat. She pulled out a box wrapped in gold and red foil paper.

"What is it?"

"Open it and see." He stepped on the gas pedal.

Keket gasped and held up her gift. "My armlet. Why are you giving this back?"

"I believe in earning my gifts. I'll just have to find a way to get that from you in a more...positive manner.Besides, I've taken for too many things that I should have worked for." His eyes softened.

Keket said nothing. She slipped her beloved armlet back on and went back to staring out the window.Kaiba observed her out of the corner of his eye. She did look a lot like Ishizu.

5:11 P.M.

"Where is he?" Richard slammed his large fist on the marble corner. "Where is that son of a bitch?"

Maria, the startled secretary, stammered out a so called sentence. "M-mr.Kaiba i-is not h-here right n-now."

"Than where is he! I swear, if you people don't bring him to me in the next ten seconds-"

A group of reporters just so happen to be standing only a few meters away, listening in on the ranting man.

"Hey Phil, listen to this guy." A reporter whispered to her cameraman.

"Seto Kaiba raped someone?" question the cameraman.

"This is gold! Get it on tape.Hurry! Hurry!"

The cameraman nodded and began to record.

"I'm giving you to the count of ten! One...Two...Three-"

"But Sir-" Maria pleaded. "I have no clue what so ever where he is!"

"THEN FIND HIM!" Richard's voice boomed through the building as though it was going to shake the foundation.

Ishizu finished her tea and stood up slowly walking over to Richard. She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's alright Richard. If he doesn't find him.Bakura and Marik will. There's no reason to use such brute force. Shouting words will not get us anywhere."

Richard tension deceased. "Yes Miss Ishtar."

He turned to Maria and the other staff.

"Forgive me."

Some of the staff nodded still shacked for the previous encounter. Richard bowed to them and left the building with Ishizu.

The cameraman stopped the tape and looked at his co-worker.

"And that's a wrap."

5:34 P.M

"The KaibaCorp.Hotel."

Seto parked the car looking at Keket questionably.

"I won't be surprise if I saw one of those." She laughed.

They both stepped out of the car.

"Tell me, is there anything you don't buy?"

"I buy what is needed to make my company stronger and more prosperous." His fast paced walking reminded the teenager of Marik.

"You seem very serious about your work."

"I am."

Four security guards stood outside the back entrance. They approached the two nodding at Seto and Keket.

"Uh sir. May we ask who-"

"She is a friend of mine." Seto passed the guards calling for Keket to follow him.

Keket's eyes widened. Did he just call her a friend? Did Seto Kaiba just call her his friend?

Inside the building, Seto and Keket as well as 6 others chattery people all talking to Seto, entered the elevator. One just so happened to be the flirtiest one of the group.

"Good afternoon, Seto.How are you?"

Seto just looked the other way.

The elevator stopped and the two stepped onto the 5th floor where most of the office walls were made of glass.Keket, who appeared to be a shadow at the moment stepped off too and was nearly smashed by the large crowd of people entering the elevator. She glared at the woman.

Judging from her nametag, her name was Usagi.Big blue eyes, bouncy red hair and bright white teeth that Keket thought was just too white. She was caught looking at the woman and immediately looked away.

"And who might this lovely little girl be?" Usagi squeezed her cheeks nearly bruising them.

Keket slapped her hand away. "My name's Keket."

The red-haired woman bent down and put her hands on her knees. "Keket huh?" She looked her over. "Well you're far too short and underdeveloped to be Seto's girlfriend."

Undeveloped! Keket looked at her chest.Just who did this lady think she was!

"Ishizu's daughter maybe?"

"No." Keket protested through her teeth.

Usagi rustled her hair and laughed. "Cute kid, Seto." She strolled up to Seto like a cat and pressed her body against him. "I'll see you later." She winked and walked off swinging her hips.

Seto sighed and unlocked the door. He opened the door and as soon as he sat down, started working on a speech.

Keket walked into the office making he look up momentarily.

"Shut the door."

She obeyed and slowly walked to a chair. She slid herself in and looked around the room. It was a lot bigger than Kaiba's other office. It had a gigantic 22 by 48 glass wall located behind Seto's desk and shiny black bookcases everywhere. The office sort of had a metallic look to it.

Her eyes wandered to the table next to her. On it was a picture of Seto and Ishizu.Ishizu was resting her head on his chest. They looked content and younger.

Kaiba noticed the tan-skinned girl.

"I would prefer if you put that in the trash for me."

"The trash? Why?"

"Well if you haven't already noticed, I have a replacement."

Keket knew he was talking about Usagi.Her eyes narrowed as she picked up the picture.

"I hate her." She mumbled.

"Ishizu or Usagi?"

"You know who I'm talking about!" She sat on his desk. "Seto, you can't be with Usagi she's...weird."

"Usagi means well.Plus, she's the only girl I know who isn't after my money."

"But you don't truly know that!"

Seto laughed a little.

"Seriously Seto.Usagi is just a lying, money-grubbing,fake-breasted-"

The door opened and in walked Usagi, flipping her hair and swinging her hips.She gave Seto two folders.

"Here you go." She smiled.

"Here you go." Keket mimicked making her voice high-pitched and snobby.

Seto chuckled quietly not lifting his eyes off his work.

"Just leave them right there."

Usagi looked at the smaller girl. "That's quite the mouth you have,Kekan."

"The name's Keket.Ooo-say-gee!" Keket exaggerated the woman's name.

Usagi frowned at the girl. "I also hear what you said,little girl."

"Oh?You can hear,old woman?"

Usagi snarled. "I heard you said my breasts are fake."

"They sure look that way." Keket snapped.

"Well at least a man could tell I have breasts.You seem to be failing in that department." She smiled seeing Keket unable to find a combat.

"What's next Keket?You're gonna cry?"

The whole time Seto was mentally laughing his head off.The two girls were fighting over him.How asuming?He snapped out of his mental enjoyment seeing papers fly around the room.Apparently,Keket had grabbed the two folders and smacked them across Usagi's face.

"You little bitch!" Usagi held her face in shock.

Keket slid off the desk picking up the papers that had fallen on the ground.

Seto watched the whole thing surprise.

"Usagi I would appreciate it if you left."

Usagi nodded still glaring at the girl. "Yes Seto.I'll see you later." She was talking to Keket,threatening her.

"Goodbye Ooo-say-gee!" Keket smiled which soon disappeared when the door closed.

"What the hell was that all about?" Seto demanded.

"She started it!"

"No,you did!"

"Well she deserved it!Ishizu would be a lot better off with you!"

"So you were standing up for her."

"What?"

"I thought you were jealous of Usagi."

"Jealous. Come on now Seto why would I be jealous of that?"

"No.No.No.I'm talking about getting my attention.You didn't like it when I was paying more attention to her than you."

Keket fiddled with the papers on his desk. "I didn't like it when you talked about her either."

Seto smirked at her. "You know,you look a lot like Ishizu.Especially when you're angry."

Keket blushed. "So,what are we going to do know?"

"Whatever you want to do,that is,after I give my speech."

"Oh.Alright." She sat back on his desk and watched him work.

Was he going crazy? Or could he feel the presence of Ishizu in front of him?
