Wow, it's been over two months! I hadn't planned to let this story slide for so long. Disclaimers are the same as before, so don't make me type it again. But I want to note that the song featured in the last chapter wasn't mine but rather J-pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki's.

Marsgoddess1: I was slightly appalled and shocked to see the amount of Usagi stories that have now overrun the Sailor Moon crossovers. (Sorry Usagi fans) So I don't really know of any other SetoRei fics besides my own. Gomen! Thank you for getting on my case about updating.

Thank you all other reviewers!

This chapter was written quickly and often late at night. I apologize for mistakes. I should really consider a Beta…..

"What's this?" Rei demanded as she crossed the threshold into Hino Corporations headquarters.

"My apologies, but my brother has ordered that your staff be replaced with an elite Research and Development team hand selected by himself. This is on short notice and I apologize for this." A young boy replied. He briefly glanced away in order to direct one of the bustling workers to their new posts.

"Your brother?"

"Yes. Kaiba-sama"

Rei rolled her eyes, then sized up the boy in front of her. Moderately tall, around six feet, a long mane of untidy black hair, violet gray eyes while a navy blue t-shirt and worn-looking blue jeans finished him off. "Just how old are you?" She asked, fingering her chin.

"Fifteen Miss." He replied enthusiastically.

'At least he has manners' Rei thought testily. Kami knows what that no good brother of his has taught him.

"Hai, well." She looked around. "Where have the secretaries gone?"

"Third Floor."

"Jolly good. Proceed." Rei said and stifled a yawn.

"You're not angry about all this? My brother said you're supposed to be…" The boy inquired. His cute face tilting in curiosity.

"Ask me again in about an hour. I woke up not an hour ago. I need coffee…" Rei muttered subtly as she stalked off towards the elevator.

The contents of the elevator exited at the ping of the bell on the third floor. The wave of standard black and white clad people filed out orderly, whilst the raven haired beauty at the center parted the masses. Her sunflower yellow tank top and white capris proved to be a major tourist attraction to the business world. She casually flicked her hair and approached the desk.

"Any applicants for executive secretary?" Rei barked, her fatigue catching up to her mood.

"Nine ma'am. I've asked the first one to come in, in ten minutes for an interview. Is that alright?" The middle aged, portly secretary asked tentatively.

"It's not like I have much of a choice with a ten minute grace period. Send them up then, and get me coffee, black and strong." Rei pointed to the coffee machine, one of the famous CEO tantrums about to be born as the secretary clearly had a look on her face that said you-have-two-hands-get-it-yourself. With another fiery violet glare the woman scampered off to the lounge.

"Hey Big Brother, your R&D teams have been established and are ready to go. Mission complete?" Mokuba was seated on one of the plush, office anteroom chairs, chattering into a cell phone.

"Any resistance?" A raspy voice echoed in the small silver box at his ear.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"That's odd."

"I think she was lacking coffee."

Mokuba rolled his eyes. His brother was a bit into this whole revenge thing. Faintly, he could hear incoherent mumbling from the other end of the receiver.

"Big Brother?"

"What?" the voice snapped.

"You're talking to yourself. Are you sure you aren't taking this too far?"

"No. Tell the staff to start working on the briefing I gave them this morning, announce your leave then come back here. I have some archetype plans I need for you to look over." The phone echoed absentmindedly, then shut off with a soft click.

"I hate when's he's in these moods." Mokuba sighed and shut the phone with a click.

A couple of coffees, some scared interviewees and a lot of frustrated scribbling later, Rei came upon her 6th candidate. Patience was wearing thin for the young people applying, hoping to score big on their first try.

The glass office door opened with a swish, and a young woman stepped in. Her azure eyes sparkled and combined beautifully with her chin length brown hair. She was dressed modestly, in a khaki skirt and pink, summer shirt.

"Tea Gardner." Rei said a matter-of-factly.

"Yes ma'am." She said cheerfully and smiled.

"Sit down, onegai." Rei indicated to a chair with her hand, and the girl complied.

It took the raven haired CEO a few moments to look over her papers. From time to time, she would glance over the top at the girl, before rapping the papers in a finalizing click on the desk to straighten them. "You're good, you have no mistakes on your application - a good quality in a secretary. However I find it odd that you're working in the business management field when it says that you are attending dance school. Put together, I would find both things hard to juggle at the same time, both being demanding fields. May I ask why you are applying for this sort of work?"

Tea seemed to ponder for a moment, and shuffled nervously in her chair. "Well…I.."

Rei held up a hand to stop her. "Please be honest. I'm not going to penalize you for an put-downs."

Tea seemed to beam and began right away. "I've always considered working in a fast food restaurant below me. I know someone has to do those jobs, but I believe I have much more potential then that. I wanted to reach for the stars, even if I missed." She said confidently.

Violet met azure as both females came to realization. "Tea, you're just like me, and I like that." Rei said whilst moving to gaze out the window to the streets below. "That's a very good philosophy to abide by; to never settle for second best when it comes with your future." She trailed off, idly watching an advertisement banner ruffle in the wind on the adjacent building. "But…" she turned to face her with more confidence. "This will be a heavy work load for you. My company has currently been partnered with KaibaCorp for new technology development. As of now, the technology types and plans have not been worked out yet, but it will require long hours nonetheless. If you've ever encountered Kaiba - "

"Yes, I graduated with him." Tea injected.

"Oh? Is he a friend of yours?" Rei was now curious.

"I tried to be friends with him, but he was always rather anal and stuck in his ways."

The CEO beamed. "Tea, we will get along marvelously. This place is now famous for the screaming matches I get into with Kaiba."

"Oh joy. I'd never have guessed I'd be seeing him again after high school." Tea sighed and rolled her eyes while mustering a smirk.

"Fate works in mysterious ways." Rei said, pondering with her finger on her chin. "You say Kaiba hates friendship, so to speak?"

"Oh Kami-sama yes. I was always in favor of friendship, and he would always make corny speeches to counter mine. He's sounds a lot like those evil characters in fairy tales, the ones that are trying to conquer friendship." Tea said.

Rei nearly gasped out loud from amazement. 'If I didn't know better, I'd say this girl was a sailor senshi. She is the perfect replica of Usagi, only less klutzy, ditzy, loss of crazy hair….okay, maybe not. The love and justice morals fit though. And Kaiba doesn't like friends? Talk about the regular antisocial…hey wait..' Rei thought. "Maybe that's the way to beat Kaiba!"

"What?" Tea asked, wide eyes.

"To be overly nice to him! He won't know what to do, especially since I'm supposed to hate him." Rei declared and pounded her fist into her palm

"You really think that will work" Tea asked incuriously.

"It's worth a shot. I'm heading over there right now. I'll expect you here at 8 AM tomorrow for orientation. I hope you can let yourself out!" Rei more less ordered and skipped out of the room.

Tea laughed lightly to herself. This CEO was something else.

Wow, long time no update. This chapter was kind of short, but I figured it is better than nothing! Sorry, no Minako in this chapter for Minako fans. She'll be back later! Read, Review and enjoy, as always!
