At the Devil's
Kylie and Pegasus walked up to the tall glass building. Kylie was studying the building with interest. It was made out of a clear, bluish glass and it was completely see through. She could see all the people inside working like busy little bees. Pegasus was babbling on and on.
"Yes, me and Kaiba are best friends. He loves me." Pegasus said and flicked his wrist.
Kylie giggled and followed Pegasus inside the building. Pegasus flashed a cheery smile at the receptionist and walked right past her to the elevator. She looked at him like he was crazy and he winked. He pressed the button for the top floor and whistled while he waited. The elevator doors opened and Pegasus winked one last time at the receptionist before stepping in. They rode the elevator to the top floor to Kaiba's office.
They stepped out of the elevator into a smaller office. Kaiba's secretary was sitting behind her desk. She was a small little woman with short stringy black hair and soft brown eyes. She looked up at them and frowned slightly. Pegasus read her name tag.
"Hello, uh, 'Janice'. How are you?" He asked.
She looked at him a little uneasily.
"Can I help you?" She asked in an annoying, whiny sort of voice.
Pegasus flashed her a white bright smile that would have made tooth paste commercials proud.
"No thanks, I'm all set." He said with a chuckle.
He told Kylie to sit down on the gray suede couch and wait, then he strolled past the secretary's desk and into Kaiba's office.
Seto Kaiba was sitting behind his desk inside his office. He was enjoying a nice vanilla Frappaccino as he gazed at his computer screen. He was reviewing his latest sales report and he was quite pleased with how well his sales were doing after the announcement of KaibaLand's opening. It was a childhood dream for both him and his little brother, and he was extremely pleased with how smoothly things were going. This and other things were going through his head when he heard his office door opening. He looked up and was a little surprised at who he saw walking through the door, unannounced.
"Hey hey hey!" Pegasus said with a hearty chuckle and a wink as he walked up to Seto's desk and sat down in the chair in front of it.
Seto narrowed his eyes. "What do you want this time Pegasus?" He asked in a drawling voice.
"Can't a guy visit his good friend without accusatory questions?" Pegasus asked.
Seto blinked then laughed. "I suppose so." He said.
Pegasus looked quite taken aback. He fixed his gaze on Kaiba and looked at him intently. "What's with you? I assumed that you would deny our friendship like always." Pegasus said.
"No. Not today." Seto said.
Pegasus had a disgusted look on his face, like he had just bitten into a rotten apple. "Did you almost die or something?" He asked, quite confused bye his sudden change in attitude.
"Ha ha, no. Actually, if you must know, I'm engaged." Seto said.
Pegasus smirked. "Really now? I find that extremely hard to believe. I can't recall you ever having even dated a girl." Pegasus said.
Seto smirked. " I don't have to tell you every aspect of my personal life" he said, "we aren't that good of friends."
Pegasus shook his head. "Whatever. Don't believe you, who is it then?" He asked.
"Ishizu Ishtar." Seto said.
"Hm… she's alright." Pegasus said.
"You have no taste then." Seto said.
"Whatever. Help me." Pegasus said.
"I beg your pardon?" Seto asked.
"My company needs you!" Pegasus said.
"How so?" Seto asked and stared at Pegasus as if he was an animal ready to attack.
Pegasus took a step forward, trying to look mysterious.
"You've heard about… the new kid on the block, right?" He said in a whisper.
Seto's eye's widened and his eyebrow's went way up and put his hand in front of his lips, to hide a smirk.
"Um no. Can't say that I have." He said.
"You suck. You knooow what I mean. That mean unnamed company that's buying out everyone's stocks!" Pegasus yelled.
"Ohh… them. You got to be more precise about what you're talking about." Seto said.
"I do not, I am me. Anyways, will you help me?" Pegasus asked.
"No." Seto said flatly.
"Why not? I'll strip." He said and grinned.
Seto stopped dead in his tracks and was temporarily immobilized.
"Please don't." He said after a while.
"Why won't you help me asshole?" Pegasus asked.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe because that one time, you know, when you tried to take over my company?" Seto said.
Pegasus laughed. "Oh please. Get over that." He said.
Just then the door opened and Kylie walked in.
"What's taking so long?" She asked.
"The asshole is being an asshole, predictable, but for some reason I'm still a wee bit surprised." He said.
Kylie giggled.
Seto eyed this girl who walked in, Fucking Janice. She's fired.
"I am not an asshole." Seto said defensively.
"Uh yeah you are. Everyone knows this," Pegasus said.
Kylie smiled.
Seto just shook his head. "I am not an asshole but go on believing what you want, Pegasus." Seto said.
"I will. Oh, this is my dear friend and new secretary, Kylie. Kylie this is Kaiba boy." Pegasus said and flicked his wrist.
"Pleasure to meet you, Kylie." Seto said and was thinking how the hell did he get her to be his secretary?
"Hi, saw your picture in the newspaper." Kylie said, smiling at him and thinking he was much cuter in person.
Seto grinned slightly. "I don't read the newspaper very often." He admitted.
"Me either." She said.
"Hey! I'm here too. And I don't appreciate being ignored." Pegasus said angrily.
Kylie giggled. "Sorry babe." She said with a smile.
"Anyways, what exactly were we talking about Pegasus?" Seto asked raising an eyebrow.
Kylie sat down on a chair near his desk and crossed her legs and pulled her skirt down.
"Hm… oh yes. Help me!" Pegasus said.
"And, do we even know the name of the mystery company?" Seto asked.
"Well, not exactly." Pegasus said.
"And you need my help? Is anyone else in trouble, or just you?" Seto asked.
Suddenly Pegasus tripped over nothing and fell forward into Seto's desk and spilt his Frappaccino!
"Oops." He said.
Seto's eyes narrowed and he picked up the remainder of his nice wonderful Vanilla Frappaccino and threw it at Pegasus.
"I bet you are sorry, asshole." He said through gritted teeth.
Kylie giggled. "You're funny." She said.
Pegasus rubbed his head. "Ow." He said.
"Clean it up if you want my help." Seto said and folded his arms and sat back in his chair.
Kylie smiled at Seto warmly 'cause he was funny.
Pegasus looked very upset. "But I don't have a rag!" He said.
"Then I don't know what to tell you, except find one," Seto said.
"Oh, and you say your not an asshole." Pegasus said, giving him a dirty look.
He walked out of the office in search of a rag.
"So, you're that crazy man's new assistant? How did that happen? Seto asked with interest.
"Well I'm staying with him right now until I can find my own apartment, and he gave me the job because I needed it." Kylie told him and smiled.
"Oh. You won't be doing too much work over there. I myself, need a new secretary cause this one just isn't working out." Seto said and shook his head.
Kylie twirled a blonde curl around her finger.
"Why's that?" She asked.
"Cause. She just hasn't been keeping up the people who just barge in my office." Seto said.
Kylie giggled.
"You really can't stop Pegasus from doing things." She said and smiled at him.
"I need a new assistant. People just aren't reliable anymore." Seto said.
Kylie flipped her blonde curls back and looked at him.
"We-ell, I do need an actual job. But I really have no experience." She said.
Seto smirked.
"Trust me, you're probably twice as good as fucking Janice." He said.
"So I'm hired?" She asked with a tiny smile.
"Yes. You start tomorrow, Miss Kylie." Seto said with a smile,
He pressed the speaker button and informed Janice that she was fired.
"But I've never worked as a secretary before. Maybe you should hire someone else." She said.
"You'll do well. Don't second guess my decisions girl." He said, then randomly burst out cackling.
Kylie looked very very shocked.
"Um, are you alright?" She asked uncertainly.
"I'm perfectly fine." He said.
Kylie smiled at him like he was the craziest man she had ever met.
"Ok." She said and shook her head.
"So how do you feel about the Japanese?" He suddenly asked.
"Um, they're ok. I have um, nothing against them." She said.
"That's good." Seto said with a proud grin.
She had her mouth open slightly, he was so shocking. He smirked and stood up and grabbed a doughnut off the tray that he had Janice get him earlier and he leaned over and shoved it in her mouth.
"It touched your mouth so now you have to eat it." He said and sat back down with a satisfied smirk.
Kylie choked on the doughnut in shock and looked at him like he was insane.
Seto shrugged. "What? You looked hungry." He said with a smirk.
Kylie swallowed then than gave him a look. "You are nuts!" She said.
"Am not. Only a little." He said.
Kylie shook her head. "So I start tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yup. Or today, Either one is fine." He said.
"Today is fine." She said and smiled at him, thinking he was really cute.
"Cool." He said.
"So what do you want me to do?" She asked.
"Well, first. You can make sure that Janice left and didn't take my stapler." He said, bitterly.
Kylie smiled at him. "Alright." She said and stood up.
"And if she did, you chase her down." Seto said and nodded.
Kylie giggled, thinking he was joking.
She walked outside the office and shut the door. Janice was standing up at the desk, packing her stuff into a box. She looked at Kylie and smirked.
"Have fun dealing with the asshole." Janice said with a laugh.
Then she picked up her box and walked away. Kylie raised an eyebrow as she picked up the stapler. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Pegasus harassing a tiny woman with a scared look on her face.
"JUST GET ME A RAG OR HE WON'T HELP ME!" Pegasus screamed.
He caught her eye and gave her a cheery wave before continuing to shout. Kylie giggled and smiled, thinking crazy crazy Pegasus. She walked back into the office with the stapler.
"Oh good. The bitch didn't take my stapler. Something unfortunate would have happened to her." Seto said with a smirk.
Kylie giggled and bit her lip.
"Don't bite your lip. It's bad for business." Seto said.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir." She said.
"Oh please, call me Set." He said.
"Um, I'll stick with sir." She said.
"Fine with me. I'm in a good mood today." Seto said.
"Um, okay." She said and handed him his stapler.
"Thank you, Miss…" He said and gestured for her to fill in the blank.
"Valentine." She said and smiled at him.
"Valentine… you wouldn't happen to be related to Mai would you?" He asked.
"You know Mai?" Kylie asked in surprise.
"Yes, we've met." Seto said with a hint of dislike.
Kylie smiled at him.
"Yes, Mai can be a bit of a bitch." Kylie said with a knowing smile.
"A bit, is an understatement." Seto said with a smirk.
Kylie smiled at him. He was cute. He was very cute actually. She was going to like working here.
Seto told her to get some more Vanilla Frappaccino A.S.A.P.
Kylie walked outside the office and up to the vending machine. She put two dollars in the vending machine and was about to press the Vanilla Frappaccino button when Pegasus ran into her and she accidentally pressed the Mocha one.
"Oops." Pegasus said.
"You retart." Kylie said.
He shrugged and happily brandished the rag. She shook her head and turned around and headed back to the office. Pegasus followed.
"Did you get my Frappaccino?" Seto asked, looking up from his computer screen.
"Yes, but I accidentally got Mocha. Sorry." She said as she handed it to him.
He examined it with a very disgusted look on his face for a minute before he threw it at Pegaus.
"I despise Mocha!" He yelled.
"Why did you throw it at me?" Pegasus asked.
Seto shrugged. "I don't know, you looked guilty." Seto said.
"I got the rag, but I'm so not cleaning it up now." Pegasus said and crossed his arms stubbornly.
Seto sat back in his chair and rested his chin on his hands and smirked at him.
"Then you won't be getting any help from me. Kindly leave." Seto ordered.
Pegasus sighed heavily and rolled his eyes.
"You are impossible Kaiba boy." He said and gave him a dirty look.
He bent down and started cleaning up the spilt coffee. Kylie giggled. Seto smirked. Pegasus finished cleaning it up and then stood up with dignified grace. Seto smirked wider.
"Good, now we can talk business." He said.
