Isis walked to Seto's crowed office. She wore a black collared shirt dress with a black stretch headband and black pumps. She opened the door and Seto sat looking through papers on his desk.
"You called?"
"Did you get those papers I sent you?"
"Yes I did."
"Did you open it?'
"Not yet."
"Fill them out and have them on my desk by this evening." Isis growled. Not once had he even glanced at her.
"That's a lot of paper work to fill out!"
"That'll be all Ms. Ishtar."
"I just got the packet! I know I am going to have to do follow ups and-"
"I said that will be all Ms. Ishtar." Isis looked into Seto's icy ones and clenched her teeth. She turned sharply on her heel and walked out, gently closing. She screamed loudly and people in near by cubicles looked at her. She exhaled slowly and smiled at them.
"I'm ok." Her new best office friend, Miho laughed as she started walking with her.
"It's ok Isis. It happens to the best of us." Isis shook her head.
"Sometimes he just irritates me so bad!"
"Well he's your boss! What do you expect?" Miho said comical and Isis sighed.
"I guess so." She went into her cubicle and looked at the thick yellow packet on her desk.
"I wish I would do this today." She picked the packet up. It wasn't really that heavy, like she had expected it to be. She rolled her eyes. "Nope, not gonna do it." She put in her brief case and crossed her arms. The clocked clicked menacingly as she tapped her foot. 'What to do? What to do? …..maybe I should just…you know…look at it. Just to see.' She picked the packet up and stared at it. 'No! That's what he wants you to do. He wants you to look inside, see how much work you have to do and then you'll want to do it to get it all over with!' Isis threw the packet on the table.
"Oh my goodness I'm acting crazy over a little packet!" She snatched the packet up and pulled out in contents. She held her hand to her chest as she looked at it. It was a medium sized book of pictures of Seto and her together. She smiled.
"We looked so goofy in that." She flipped to the last page and it was almost like the breath was knocked out of her. It was a marriage license document with Seto's name already signed on it. 'A marriage proposal and no ring.' She placed the envelope on the table and when it landed with a hollow thud, she quickly turned her attention to it. Her mouth went dry as she slowly picked back up the envelope and reached into it. Cold metal brushed against her fingers tips and her heart skipped a beat. She gasped as she pulled out a small platinum ring with a big circle cut diamond in the middle and two almost pyramid- shaped sapphires on the side, one facing east and the other west. She stared at in a daze as Miho pranced back to her office.
"Hey Isis do you have any white-oooooooooOOOOOOO MY GOODNESS!" Isis jumped and turned to Miho.
"Miho! Shush!!"
"OH MY GOODNESS! ISIS IS ENGAGGED!!" People jumped up and ran to her cubicle.
"You're engaged?!"
"To who?"
"Since when!?"
"I can't believe it!"
"I CAN!" Seto walked out of his office and glared at the empty cubicles. He looked over to see all the people surrounding one and her growled, storming off in that direction.
"Miho…" Isis groaned.
"When is the wedding?"
"What is going on?!" Everyone silenced themselves as Seto's cold appearance stood over them.
"Um…we just found out Isis…..was…engaged." Seto slowly turned his eyes to Isis.
"And you announced this aloud?"
"No. It was sitting on my desk and I just so happened to be staring at it when Miho came by."
"And….we were just trying to figure out who the lucky guy was." Seto shrugged his trench coat on his shoulders more comfortably and brushed off his sleeves.
"Well if you people must know, it's me."
Isis Pov
When I had pulled out the ring and Miho had said it out loud, I felt as if the whole world knew. But when Seto said it was him, I could already put my hand over my eyes to protect them from the blinding flash of the cameras. People's lips couldn't move fast enough to tell others about my engagement to Seto. This is crazy.
School
Isis walked into the building, trying to hide her face.
"Hey it's Kaiba's fiancé!"
"Hey Mrs. Kaiba."
"You're so lucky?" Seto walked in quietly behind her and everyone gasped excitedly.
"You go Seto!" A boy place a hand on Seto's shoulder and Seto twitched.
"You touch me again and I'll cut your hand off and wear it as a keychain." The boy jumped back and Seto sighed.
"Isis." Isis stopped and turned around droopily.
"Yes?"
"What's wrong love?" Isis put a hand on her forehead.
"This is all stressful Seto. It's like almost everywhere I go someone is talking about our engagement and giving me all this attention it's so irritating. So could you do what you do best?"
"Do what I do?"
"Threaten everyone if they don't leave me alone?" Isis said putting a hand on her hip.
"It always works." People passed by, gawking at Isis ringed hand.
"WHAT?!" She threw her hands up. The people rushed along and Seto shook his head. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Seto pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her. Clicking cameras and flash ended the perfect moment.
"CAN WE SEE THAT AGAIN!?" Isis groaned in disgust and ran off.
"Do you all not have anything better to do with your time?!" The lady standing there with a microphone paused.
"I-"
"I though not." Seto stalked off in the opposite direction and the lady grinned evilly.
"Could all this attention cause tension in the fresh relationship? Looks like it can!" Isis smiled relieved as she saw Natalie at her locker.
"Nat!" When she didn't look up she raised a brow. She ran up to her locker.
"Natalie!"
"Oh, me? I thought you were talking to someone else." She replied sarcastically and turned her back on Isis.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I just came to realize that my best friend couldn't tell the most like, IMPORTANT THING IN HER LIFE!"
"Natalie!"
"Don't Natalie me! I'm sure your new office friends are a whole lot more important than me."
"Miho found out by accident."
"Then I guess that makes two of us! I just so happened to stumble across it on my front porch this morning!"
"Natalie, I was already stressed from all the media! I'm sorry it slipped my mind."
"Isis we're best friends! You're supposed to tell me things when it happens! How long have you been engaged."
"A couple of days."
"I should have found out right when you found the ring."
"I know! I'm sorry Nat!" Natalie sighed.
"I have to get to class." She walked off and Isis sighed angrily.
"This is just not my day!" She slammed her fist into the locker as a cloth was pulled over her mouth and she was pulled off into a dark room.
-------------------------
Isis squinted as a shinning light shone brightly in her face. 'The media has taken this too far.' Her eyes focused on angry blues ones. She jumped in shocked and tried to scream but she realized her mouth was covered and she was tied down in a chair.
"Hello Isis! I see you don't take warnings very well." Te'a glared at Isis. Isis glared back at her.
"I mean I don't know how many times I could have warned you, but you just didn't heed any of them! And look at you now! You went and got engaged to him." Te'a and her followers circled around Isis.
"That's a problem."
"A serious problem." Te'a laughed evilly.
"I guess it needs to be fixed." She pulled out a shiny metal piece of something that gleamed under the light bulb. Isis stared deathly at the sight of the butterfly knife.
"I guess Seto should get ready to meet his corpse bride." A hand tapped her shoulder and she turned around.
"What!?" She was greeted with a head butt and she fell out on the ground. The two other girls stared in shock and held up their hands. A hand reached out and kicked one girl in the face and punched the other. The collapsed on the ground and the hands immediately went to untie Isis.
"NATALIE!"
"Yeah I know. I'm best friend material!" Isis jumped up and hugged her.
"I love you so much!"
"Yeah I know! Just don't keep anything like that from me again!" Isis nodded happily and they ran out the room.
lunch
"What a crazy slut!" Serenity said and Joey gave her a look.
"Watch your mouth!"
"Yes brother." Serenity blushed and Natalie laughed.
"Stop being hard on her! I mean its slut!" Joey rolled his eyes.
"Some sister-in-law you'll be to her." Isis turned her head in shock to her.
"What?"
"He's playing! He calls me his wife." Isis looked at Joey.
"That's cute." Seto passed by their table.
"Seto." He full out ignored her and sat at a table by himself. Isis stared at him confused before turning back around.
"Whoa, what was that?!" Joey said exchanging looks between them.
"I don't know." Isis ate a fry. The lady from earlier hide behind the trashcans with the camera man.
"A cold greeting? Sitting at separate tables!? What's going on!?"
"Stacy you're going to pick so much weight eating that entire sandwich."
"Yeah I know! I'm soooo through." Two girls got up from the table, throwing their food away, a tomato falling onto the woman's shoulder and lettuce into her hair.
"UGH! Teenagers!" They snuck out the door.
After school
Isis caught up with Seto and jerked him around.
"What's your problem?"
"What are you talking about?" He said monotoned.
"The whole "I'm not talking to you or sitting next to you" during lunch time." Seto shrugged.
"I was just making everything more comfortable for you." Isis sighed and laid her head on his chest.
"I'm sorry. I just don't want things to get messed up between us because of this engagement." Seto took her hand and kissed it.
"I know. I'm sorry. Graduation is in a week. We'll get married two weeks afterwards. 'Three WEEKS!?'
"Seto that's not even enough time to book a place and get arrangements, yet alone send out invitations and get together the bridesmaid and groomsmen." Seto gave a challenging look.
"I will have stuff prepared and it'll be the best wedding that you'll ever have."
"Hopeful the only one." Seto kissed her forehead and she smiled.
