Kaiba stormed into his room. Fuck, the murders had been recognised already?
Pacing, he ran a hand through his hair, blue eyes burning holes into the floor. He tugged at his hair. How many people knew? Did Jou know? He paced up and down frantically, his mind racing with his options. Did they know it was him? Jou had seemed concerned that the CEO would be victimised, so maybe he didn't know that it was he was causing all of this? Kaiba nodded to himself, yes, yes, that seemed reasonable. There was no way that Jou could know, at least not yet anyway. Kaiba circled his room again before falling onto his bed, closing his eyes.
Fuck, he'd made a mess. But it was too late now to turn back. He'd already eliminated half of his main competitors. The opposition's sales had plummeted, causing Kaiba corp. to gain important ground that would help them stay on top. Seto took a drawing breath, he knew their shares had risen too, but how long would I last? Realistically? He knew it would end at some point. He knew he'd be caught. He was smart, but there's a limit on how far you can run, especially from so many deaths. He groaned slightly into his hand, opening his eyes. It was almost time for work and he hadn't slept again. Begrudgingly he changed his clothes and called for the limo. He was too tired to drive, and there was no point trying. In all honesty, he was too tired to work, but he didn't have any choice. If he was going to be so dedicated to eliminating his competition, he had to make sure he kept up the normal work too. If he suddenly started slipping, he'd look complacent, and it would become obvious that it was him. He couldn't let that happen. He wouldn't.
He stepped into the limo, his eyes bruising at the sight of his headquarters. He was beginning to hate the place more and more every day, why he showed up, he didn't know. He paused. Yes, he did know.
He'd gone for too long with nothing. Too long as an orphan, trying to defend his brother, trying to hard to make ends meet, just to see a smile. Never again. No. He'd worked hard for this company. He'd blackmailed, he'd tricked and now he'd killed. Nothing was going to take it away. Nothing was going to come between him, and the object that brought a smile to his brother's face. Not the police, not the law, not the electric chair. Nothing.
As he sat at his desk he felt his mind grind to a halt. All thought processes froze. His eyes blurred and he struggled to see. He slapped himself mentally again and again but nothing happened. He couldn't move. Frustrated he called for his limo. He'd give in today as a bad day.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Jou wandered around the apartment, deciding what to do before night fall. He'd come to the conclusion there was no point looking for the guy in the day, as he only killed at night. Too many people walked around in the day, anyone could be the murderer. It was like a game. Like wink murder. He had to find the killer before everyone died. It was a race against time, a race to save Seto's life. Seto. Why had he come to mind again? What was it that kept forcing the blond to think about the brunet? Surely there was nothing there? Maybe it was just fear. That's right. Fear. Kaiba had been his classmate after all, and it would be wrong not to worry. Besides, he and Jou were the same age. It felt wrong for someone so young to lose their life. An incident he had seen too many a time. It had been decided. He would fight his hardest to save the man, whether he liked it or not. Grabbing his cell, he left the apartment and left for the main strip of down. He fancied some sweets, and that was not something the army had provided for him.
As Jou wandered the streets, he noticed a familiar coat in the coffee shop. Hesitantly walking in, Jou tapped the brunet on the shoulder, the cold blue eyes glaring upon him.
'Mutt?'
'Kaiba, shouldn't you be at work?'
'I'm taking the day off.'
'Can you do that?' Jou watched the brunet frown,
'I'm the boss, I can do whatever I want.' The blond shrugged.
'What ya up to?'
'Grabbing coffee.' He eyed the blond, who seemed to wear nothing but khaki, 'You?'
'Just grabbing a muffin…' he brunet's mind wandered to distant places, fuelled by the army boy's dress.
'Come with me.'
'What?'
'It's not an option.' Kaiba dragged the protesting blond to the limo, stuffing him inside.

Hey
Sorry it's mega short. I don't even have time to update Broken tonight.
Since 11am yesterday, I've had between 1 and 2 hours sleep. Its now half 10 at night. I've had the worst day, ever. Crashed my car into a wall and ruined the paintwork. When dad sees it, I'm dead. Then I broke down outside work in dinner. My petrol warning doesn't work apparently. No matter what I do, I can't make up with my friend. (anyone in or around Amsterdam wanna help me? Haha)
I feel really ill and I have to be up early again tomorrow. The highlight of my day was fish and chips…home made of course!
And seeing Abi. Also had to drive to Antony's and T-Cut my car so dad won't see the damage. However, I've damaged the metal work, so I'm dead!
Anyway, TTFN, if I live any longer, the day was much worse, I'll go into details tomorrow. Haha.
Anyway please R&R
Much love
AB
