~Seto's POV~
The next entire week I stayed undercover, examining the people in the club. In the club, men in dark pinstripe suits drink, smoke and play cards. A few of the men were huddled together in a corner, involved in hushed but animated conversation. Others puff their chests out for the accommodating "comfort women" who adorn the smoke-filled room like well-placed flower arrangements. The club is on the second floor of a small building where the constant whir and clang of a busy pachinko parlor on the ground floor can be heard upstairs. It wasn't very hard to get in. Anyone could walk in, being smoke covered an all. The yakuza was here often but I couldn't find Yami that whole week.
Finally, it was Sunday. I was planning to confront them on yesterday, so I decided to get my temporary tattoo yesterday. But it was really painful so I decided to go today. I wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath. I finally got there and saw a limo parked in front. Since it wasn't mine, I assumed that it belonged to one of the yakuza.
Many people got out of the limo. I tried to get a closer look but many men surrounded the last person that got out of the car. They began to walk inside the parlor and I casually followed them inside.
They walked over to a booth like table. The one in the center was Yami, the man himself.
I sat at a slot machine and pretended to play. Not like I need it, I'm freaking Seto Kaiba! Ha-ha. Anyways, I kept glancing up from my machine towards Yugi- I mean Yami. Jeez I have to get used to that. I pondered what I would say in order to "casually" confront him. As I pondered I didn't notice that I was staring at him.
Yami turned his head and met my gaze. He snickered.
"Oh look, if it isn't the rich and famous Seto Kaiba!" He grinned. "What are YOU doing in a place like THIS?"
I didn't hesitate to answer. "Well Yugi or do you prefer to be called Yami?"
He glared at me and nodded slowly.
"Well YAMI, I heard that you became the head of the Yakuza, and I came to check it out for myself." I grinned at him. [+1 dead puppy xD jk] "I'm pretty impressed that you have you pack of mangy dogs trained in such a short amount of time."
"You bastard!" yelled the man sitting next to Yami, as he took out his gun.
Yami quickly grabbed the gun out of the man's hand and elbowed him in the face.
"Dumbass!" Yami scolded the man, his nose now bleeding. "He was only joking." Yami chuckled. "All of you are so serious and have anger management problem. You just need to lighten up is all!"
He took a deep breath and looked at me. "Now tell us why you really are here." He asked, his dark violet eyes on me.
I gulped. "Well…seeing you I command here has made me respect you much more…and well…I need to get away from the world. I want to live a new life and be feared…so I wanted to join you and your group." I finally choked it our and gave a shameful bowed down to him in loyalty.
SO many things ran through my mind while waiting for his answer.
The rich and famous SETO KAIBA was bowing to trash like him, it makes me sick…
If I'm accepted, this will be next step to becoming such an accomplished detective.
And some other stuff that is not important.
Out of all of the silence a snicker was heard. The snicker became an all out laugh, from Yami. The bastard was laughing! Laughing at me!!!
"What?!" I yelled.
He couldn't answer because apparently he was having trouble breathing because what I had said was too damn funny. He started gasping for air.
"I hope the bastard dies laughing…" I thought to myself.
He finally stopped laughing after a minute or so and took a deep breath.
"Are you serious, Kaiba?" Yami gave me a stern look. "You are the richest guy in Japan and you're willing to throw that all away to be a thug?"
"Mokuba is going to run it for me in the meantime, but if I announce that to the press, they'll stalk me to the ends of hell!" I responded.
He grinned, but a nasty type of grin. A grin that told me that I was in trouble.
"That still didn't answer my question." He said.
"Um….well….." he didn't let me answer.
"Is that you love me and miss me and can't stand not having me around?" he smirked.
"WHAT?! Hell no! I am not gay!" I yelled.
"Oh really? Why is it that you're still on your knees before me then?" some men around him snickered. My face turned bright red. On this realization, I got up immediately.
"I just forgot okay?! No big deal!" I barked at him.
He laughed. "What happened to the stoic Kaiba we all love and adore? I guess he was replaced by this kawaii short tempered one." He said and continued laughing.
This time my face got redder. God how I hate this man so much right now!
"Just tell me, am I in or not!" I asked angrily.
"Heh, heh, heh." He wiped a tear from his eye. "Wow, I haven't laughed like that in centuries. Literally!"
I stayed quiet. My face regained its natural color and I also regained my stoic-ness. He looked back at me.
"Oh so you really ARE serious about this." He sighed. "Very well then! Since you are out new recruit you will have to be my bitch!"
"W-what?! I would rather die!" I yelled.
Yami smirked. One of his men cocked their gun. "That can be arranged."
"I…I mean yes Yami-sama." I replied and bowed.
"The leaders name is Atem!" On of his subordinates said.
"Shush you!" Yami ordered. He kept his smirk on his face and said; "Only my favorites can call me Yami."
I wonder what he meant by favorites but I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to get myself killed.
