Touch Me, Kiss Me, Love Me, but Don't Hurt Me
Chapter One
A soft knock came on the door.
"Come." Kaiba ordered the person on the other side of the door.
"Um…Mr. Kaiba, I have a letter that is addressed to you sir, there is no return address, just the word, "RED," written on the envelope sir." The young woman stated and walked over to Kaiba's desk and placed it gently on top. Kaiba did not bother to look up from the screen of his computer.
After the receptionist walked out, Kaiba tuned his attention to the envelope lying on his desk. He picked it up and studied it.
The receptionist had been correct, the word, "RED" was spelled in bold, red letters in the middle of the envelope.
It was approximately 9:00 P.M and almost the entire staff had left for their homes hours before. Kaiba could hear the young woman leaving the office this moment.
Kaiba opened the letter and began to read what was typed:
Happy 23rd birthday Mr. Kaiba. Welcome to the first day of your death.
Kaiba's eyes narrowed at the words. He had received a few death threats before, and the senders had all been arrested. They had all been pranks of course.
But as Kaiba continued, the letter sounded more and more real.
You do not know me.
But I know you.
You ruined my life. You may not know the reason as too how you did this, or when, but you did.
You destroyed everything that was once mine and have brought turmoil and disaster to my every waking moment.
You ruined my life and for this you will pay.
"Bullshit." Kaiba muttered.
My first thought was to merely take you from this world.
But after carefully studying the situation, I have decided that that would be too easy.
You are simply too smart a person to be killed with a mere bullet or a stab wound.
You need a more extravagant death, one that is suited for a man such as yourself, and also a death that will appease me.
You are not quite as smart as I would like you too be though.
You leave your younger brother to fend for himself during the day and night.
Often times you leave for work at the earliest possible moment, and leave your brother alone. He of course sometimes forgets to lock the door.
The maids come every Wednesday at 8 A.M and clean for approximately two hours.
Than two young women at the ages of 23 and 27, come in and cook meals for the next three days. This takes them four hours.
You leave your place of residence at usually 5 A.M and go to Star Bucks for a hazelnut coffee, one sugar and two creams, at this time you also buy one blue berry muffin, and after this you have your driver take you to work.
My method of stalking was, I must say, quite enjoyable, but as I wrote earlier, killing you after I have watched you for so long, would be far too simple.
And seeing as I could kill you with ease, this just does not suit my needs.
I have decided to play a game with.
Kaiba was getting annoyed with the letter, now that there was a mention of his brother.
I would like to test your mind.
I have done this with four other people and sad to say they did not pass.
Those people were trivial, as for you my dear Mr. Kaiba, you are an intellectual person. You are also lacking in the department of emotions.
This I find amusing.
I intend to break this trend Mr. Kaiba.
I would like you to experience for the first time, something.
Love and lust.
I want you to know how this feels, as I once did.
This will be the first part of my game.
With this first part, I will determine how you stand up to it.
So here's how to set things in motion:
You have exactly fifteen days, starting tomorrow at 5 A.M. in this time you will try to determine who I am.
If you are successful, you are to purchase a Domino Time paper, and on the front page you will write my name and place the paper back in its place. That is all you have too do to end this. Find my name and print it on the paper.
If you do not…here's the fun part, well for me anyway.
You have also received a second letter, containing the list of all 203 of your employees and what little family member you have left.
The names begin from the youngest to the oldest, this list starts off with your younger brother Mokuba Kaiba and continue on too Noah Kaiba.
Mr. Kaiba, I stress this fact, so I do hope that if you wish your brother to remain on this earth you will play this game correctly and not try and anger me more than I already am, by calling the police.
On this day Mr. Kaiba, I have contacted one of the people on the list and have given a warm, "hello."
Someone will come into your life very soon. You will not expect this person.
This is part one of this game.
You don't have to watch your back at the moment Mr. Kaiba I will keep my distance for the 15 days.
To make things a bit easier, I will give you your first bread crumb.
In the far, far away past, life was fun and wild,
Mother, father, and young child,
But all good times went astray,
When death came and blew the life you knew away.
As you have noticed, poetry is not my forte.
But my hatred is.
I will give you five questions to ask me at your pleasure and I will choose to answer them in my own time. Remember to use the same paper.
Well Mr. Kaiba, I have had fun writing this too you and if you act smart, I will see my name on the Domino paper before the 15 days are up.
The game has only just begun Seto Kaiba, and I have every intention of winning.
RED
Kaiba dropped the letter to the desk and stood, walking over to the window. The lights of the city flashed on and off as people turned in for the night.
Mokuba…Kaiba realized he was worried for him and turned and reached for the phone. Be safe…I'm coming home.
Who?
Who?
Who?
"Brother where are we going?" Mokuba asked as Kaiba pulled him along as well as a suit case.
"We're leaving for awhile, call it a vacation."
"But you never go on a vacation."
"I will now." Kaiba muttered as he pushed Mokuba into the passenger side and put the case in the trunk before getting in the car himself. He examined everything first before starting the car.
"Your acting weird brother, mind telling me what's going on?"
"Has anyone strange called you in the last month?"
Pause… "Not that I can remember. What is this all about?"
Kaiba didn't answer. Someone will come into your life very soon. You will not expect this person.
Who?
Thirty minutes had now passed and Kaiba was driving down a secluded road, going 53 MPH.
Who are you?
Kaiba did not notice the person on the bicycle riding on the lane that Kaiba drove on, before it was too late. The person had only a second to look behind and try to swerve before Kaiba hit the brakes. But too late, the person on the bike, as he swerved, flew up onto the hood and slammed into the front window, busting it open and rolling onto the roof, before sliding down, only to be knocked back onto the pavement, as Kaiba swerved and slid to a halt.
The front window was now broken. There was a dent on the hood and several bumps in the front of the car as well as scratches. A bike tire rolled too a stop where it fell to its side. The bike was bent from being rolled over by two tires.
There were black skid marks on the road and Kaiba's car was slightly smoking in protest.
Kaiba stumbled out of the car, hitting the air bag away.
"Mokuba are you alright?"
"I'm…" cough, "Fine."
Kaiba walked over to the crumbled form on the ground. Kaiba bent to his knees and gently rolled the man over. He moved his hands over his body, checking for anything broken.
"Mokuba, call an ambulance." Kaiba remembered where they were. "Forget it we'll drive to a hospital." Kaiba stated and gently picked the young man up, carrying him to the car.
Someone will come into your life very soon. You will not expect this person.
The words were forgotten as Kaiba placed the young man in the back of the car.
