Whew! I'm actually on chapter 11! I had no idea that this was going to be my most popular fanfiction. (I definitely thought it would be Shinophobia or Kakashi's Mid Life Crisis) Go figure, eh? Anyhoo, thank you for all your support! I hope that was a good first confession on Kaiba's part in the last chapter! It can only get more interesting from here on in!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Yugio, I think you know that by now. But, I do own this! WHOO!
Jaquie and Brianne continued down the empty hallway. Their knobby knees shook and their over-tanned faces were pale.
"Do... do you think they figured it out...?" Brianne asked hush-idly.
Jacquie was quiet for a moment as they began up the stairs,
"Like, I don't know... we didn't leave any clues... and the other girls all stayed home 'cuz they were afraid of being caught..."
"You don't think one of them--"
"OUTTA MAH WAY!" The two unsettled girls were shoved aside as a tall blonde man rushed past them down the stairs and around the corner. Jaquie and Brianne stared in the direction he had gone for a moment.
"Miss McNitley, Miss Nichola?" The girls spun about and faced the Principal. They laughed nervously,
"What d-did you w-w-want to see us f-for, Principal Yosuka?" Jaquie asked as she began to shake again.
Principal Yosuka chewed on his cigar in his slow manner for a moment,
"I don't. He does." the Principal said as he motioned to his office door. The girls looked at one another and slowly proceeded to the large redwood door.
Jou burst out of the back doors of the school and found a long black limo waiting for him, the driver patiently holding the door open for him,
"Mr. Wheeler?" The thin man with a chauffeur cap asked.
Jou gawked at him for a moment,
"I... yeah..."
"Oh please, it's just a limo, sir, and a small one at that. Now get inside, Mr. Kaiba says it's quite urgent."
Before Jouniichi knew what was going on, the man gently shoved him into the expensive limousine and sped off toward the hospital.
With shaking hands and quivering lips, Jaquie and Brianne slipped into the darkened room.
"Hello?" Jaquie squeaked as their eyes began to adjust to the light.
"Sit." Came a low, stern voice that they both knew. Their hearts began to beat faster as their eyes registered a large man dressed in black and sunglasses in the corner of the room with his arms crossed, and the girls began to sweat as they realized another had stepped to the door and blocked it.
At the desk, though, was the most horrifying sight by far. The thin billionaire, CEO of Kaiba Corp, the most powerful man in the entire world sat staring at them. His powerful eyes bore into theirs, showing no emotion but pure fury and anger.
"Sit." the man ordered again and the horrible girls obeyed with just a squeak of terror.
Brianne twiddled her fingers nervously,
"What do you want with--"
"Shut up." The two girls were taken aback as the CEO snapped at them in his deep voice,
"You've been in high school for seven years, you should know the rules by now."
"We've done nothing wrong." Brianne said as she tried to keep her voice steady.
"Don't you think I know what you've done?" He growled as he stood and pounded his hands on the desk, sending a glass of water and a few papers to the floor.
"Damaging and destruction of property, threats on life, and..." he showed his eyeteeth in contempt, "And attempted murder." The girls eyes grew wide and their mouths hung open.
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Jaquie cried indignantly.
"You witch." Seto snarled, "You wounded an innocent girl for no good reason."
"I-- I-- you-- you have no proof!" Jaquie exclaimed as she triumphantly crossed her arms, "The police even said they didn't know who did it."
The girls were taken by surprise as Seto chuckled menacingly,
"You imbecilic morons. Of course I have proof." He snapped his fingers and one of the large guards, the one in the corner of the room, took out a portable recorder and pressed the play button,
"Shizuka, if you know what's best for you, you won't come to school early to be with our Seto-kun. If you do, my girls and I will be waiting... You didn't take us seriously on our fair warning. The gloves are off now, missy."
"Voice recognition testing verified it was you two." Seto said with a smirk, "Also, your former comrades thought it would be fun to take video and pictures on their cellphones, all which are now crucial evidence."
"What do you mean our former comrades!?" Jaquie asked as her eyebrows furrowed.
"Four of the members of your organization have already confessed are are taking the necessary steps to pay for their crime. But you," he growled, "You were not merely unthinking pawns. You planned all of this-- and why?"
The girls were silent and looked away from the furious man.
"Because you were filthily jealous that I showed interest in an innocent girl." Brianne and Jaquie swallowed as the man continued, "You just couldn't stand someone worthier than you receiving my attention."
Jaquie and Brianne began to feel tears coming to their eyes. What the man said was all too true.
"I hate your kind." Seto said as he shook his head, "You have no right whatsoever to think that I would ever like a girl who is haughty and thinks highly of herself. I finally found someone who's humble-- she's sweet and kind and you... you couldn't take it." He said, his truth like venom to their hearts.
"I could break your necks right here and now, no one would be the wiser. My lawyers can cover anything up." The girls watched with wide eyes as the two guards at the doors chuckled and Seto cracked the knuckles on his left hand.
"Lucky for you I'm a courteous gentleman and I refuse to lower myself to your level. But...for a start," he said, sitting down at the desk, "You'll never work in Kanto, Kansai, or Hokkaido or for any major corporation in any part of the world."
The two girls sunk down in their chairs and moaned.
"I've also made sure that you're also expelled from this school and banned from any private highschool or college in Japan or America."
"You can't do that!" Jaquie shouted as she jumped to her feet. The guard behind Seto made a move toward the blonde, but The Seto Kaiba waved it off.
"I can." Seto said with a smirk, "And I have. If you disliked the previous punishment, you'll loathe this one..." he snapped his fingers and three policemen rushed in and advanced toward the girls,
"You're arrested." Seto finished as the girls screamed and fought as the policemen handcuffed them.
"Stop! Please! You're making a big mistake!" Brianne shrieked as her counterpart swore at the businessman.
Seto shook his head,
"You say I've made the mistake, but really, you have. You'll be reminded of this mistake over and over again for the rest of your life." the policemen began to drag the girls out of the room.
"Oh, and to give you something to chew on in prison," Kaiba said as he followed them to the doors and swept tauntingly close to them, "I love her." Jaquie and Brianne's eyes grew wide and as Kaiba swung the door closed, he could hear them screaming,
"You'll pay for that, Kaiba!"
"You'll be cursed for loving that wench!"
"You'll regret this some day!" Their cries faded down the hallway and Kaiba turned to the two guards,
"Get my laptop and call a helicoptor."
Well, I hope that was revenge enough for now. I know you'll probably think that wasn't enough and that Kaiba should have beaten the girls up, but after all, he's a gentleman (although he may not show it) and frankly, as he said, he doesn't want to stoop to their level.
Getting banned from college and any large company may not sound so bad, but if you really think about it, you'll see the gravity of that punishment, which Kaiba was able to enforce because of his business skills. In the long run, they'd be miserable.
Going to jail, on the other hand, is definately a punishment they'll feel quickly.
The most torturous punishment, though, would be the fact that all their efforts were in vain and Seto loved Shizuka. Try playing over that again and again in a cell for years. Ouch.
Anyhoo, I hope you liked it, please tell me what you think of it!
I heart all of you reviewers!
