To Remember and Forget: The Kaiba Story
Mokuba clomped Rin as soon as she stepped through the doors. Kaiba was too busy wondering how many suitcases one woman needed. So far it was seven… Rin was swinging the young Kaiba around and laughing. Why the hell was that happening anyway?
"Have you two met?" Seto asked, quirking a brow at them.
"Mokuba comes down to the station sometimes with Akina and Iva."
Now Kaiba wasn't thrilled about hearing a few things in that sentence. One; Mokuba was at a police station filled with criminals and guns. Two; she said 'Akina'. The one that he couldn't have-and wouldn't now. The young captain's face was struck with realization at the moment. She had so much more to get from her apartment. Six of the bags she brought were only case files. She brushed Mokuba's hair and said that she would be back soon. On her way out, the blonde gripped Seto's arm and dragged him out the door. He thrashed around, trying to break from her grasp. But it was no use and that became more apparent when she chuckled, pushing Seto into the back of the limo.
"Mr. Kaiba, you need to know something. You can't win against a police officer," Rin smirked, taking a seat in the limo with Kaiba close behind… with his laptop.
After closing the door, Seto's computer was glowing in his face. Rin told the driver where her apartment was and turned back around, glared at the sight of the unsocial man, and sighed heavily. The windows were too dark to see outside and now the only light was from that damned laptop. Since the officer was setting in front of him, her heel pressed the lid down and silenced the clicking. Now the light was mostly gone, except for the sky light letting in moon light. Seto sent a famous glare, one that could kill, but green eyes just gazed calming at him. She was practically interrogating him right now. Glaring usually means difficult childhood-mean father. Socially frustrated-easy to tell from the un-stoppable work mode and seeing how he reacted to the close contact a moment ago there has never been a woman in the family.
"Mokuba's really grown hasn't he?" she chirped trying to see how he would react.
"Yes he has. Now where the hell are you taking me?"
Results of question: True family man.
"I need to get my clothes now. I can't wear this all the time," she motioned towards her raggedy uniform from the explosion.
"And those seven suitcases where…?"
"Those were leads… On who was trying to kill you… I almost died to try and save your new building from them…" her long pauses did nothing to bring out an answer from the blue eyed man.
"How many leads?" his question was like music to her ears.
'At least he's not a complete ass.'
"A little over 750, actually. I am quite surprised that a man of your age could make so many enemies."
Kaiba smirked, about to say something but was stopped when he realized that they had arrived at her apartment. And once outside, he almost went back into the limo. This was the most rundown neighborhood he had ever seen. Flickering street lights, stay dogs and cats rummaging through knocked over garbage cans and the cracking concrete sidewalk with weeds growing through them. This was where she lived? It didn't look like a very safe place for her to be, but who was he to say that. She was a police chief, so this place couldn't be that difficult for her to live in. Seto followed Rin up the uneven steps to the faded yellow door with two missing numbers. She fumbled with the keys and eventually slammed up against the wood for it to open. He stepped in to see old wooden floors and peeling wallpaper. The small apartment only had one bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. She moved around the room, and finally swung out a suitcase from an old dusty closet.
"You can take a seat it you want," she motioned towards the kitchen table.
Kaiba almost refused, but decided that it was probably better than standing around in a room that looked like it could fall apart any moment. She moved back and forth from her bedroom and the kitchen counter; each time carrying different articles of clothing. After a while, the silence was starting to get to them. Both would glance at each other, almost waiting for one of them to break down. Soon they both did.
"Why don't-"
Seto chuckled and rose from his seat to help the laughing Rin with her suitcase. As she turned to lock the door once they were outside, Kaiba couldn't resist asking,
"Why do you live in such a horrible place?" nice huh?
"Well I'm never home, so it would be pointless to pay for a house that I never live in."
'She might be the only woman that I've met that has some logic…' Both of them were at the limo, a huge relief to Seto. Rin climbed in after handing her suitcase to the driver. Soon both were on their way back to the mansion. Kaiba actually felt awkward trying to talk to her after seeing how she lived. Nothing he had seen compared to that, she was a respected woman in the police force and she lived like that? But a glance over to her showed that Rin was glancing seriously at a case file she had grabbed before leaving. The police chief finally glanced in his direction, meeting a glare head on with one of her own.
"Like I said before, there is no way you can win. Mokuba, on the other hand, has the cute factor working for him."
He was fifteen and still had adults eating out of his hands with the right look. Seto started to object, but was forced quiet again when there was a bright light shining through the tinted windows. A motorcycle had driven up beside them in the silence; both were too preoccupied to even notice the engine noise. But Rin didn't like where this was going so she tapped on the glass that separated the driver from the passengers. The glass slid down showing a twenty year old man in uniform.
"Could you speed up to about ninety please?" she was given a bewildered look before he nodded and the glass appeared again.
Seto didn't want to be killed in a car accident so the entire thought of going forty-five miles per hour above the speed limit scared him, if only a little.
"Do you want to get us all killed?"
"No, but why on earth would a guy on a motorcycle stay next to the limo for more than five seconds without passing at the speed he could be going?"
She had him there, even if it did sound highly unlikely. Seto felt the vehicle pick up speed, but the motorcycle did also, still staying next to the back window. Rin's hand moved toward her side, and Seto almost thought that she was going to pull out a gun, but instead she removed her badge from her hip. Rin mouthed for him to stay low and he followed her instructions-still remembering that she did have a gun. The window rolled down and the woman flashed her badge at the man and let out a satisfied smirk when he moved around the limo and sped out of sight. Once the glass came between her and the outside world again, she sighed and replaced her identity.
"He was going to kill you," Rin mused aloud.
"And I thought that we established that several men were going to do that," now Kaiba was pissed off.
It was ridiculous that he couldn't even be riding in his own limo around town. But worse than that, what was Mokuba going to do? Rin was already thinking about that and stopped his question with an answer.
"I don't think that they will go after your brother. They weren't even smart enough to hire a decent hit-man. But of course, Mokuba will still receive full time protection."
He mentally sighed after that. As long as nothing hurt his brother everything would be fine. The rest of the ride went smoothly-with no conversation. Once inside, Rin asked the maids to place everything of hers in the room nearest to Kaiba's. His face didn't show any liking to that, but he continued on with his business. Death threat or not, Seto Kaiba owned a company and had lots of work to do. He hurried into his study and was surprised to see that Rin was right behind him, taking a seat in the chair next to a lamp. She swung her legs over the arm and leaned back against the other. Kaiba tried to shake off the feeling of being watched, but sent a piercing look at her every time he could.
"Listen, I hate you as much as you hate me. So I suggest you get over it because we're going to be spending a lot of time together," she hissed, sick of his stupid glares.
"And why should you hate me?" Kaiba sneered.
"Simple," insert sadistic smirk here, "you basically destroyed my family."
WHOA! Betcha you didn't see that coming! Well anyway thanks for reading and please review.
