Chapter 2

Kia browsed through the various items on the shelves of the supermarket. Alhough most people in Domino assumed that Kaiba had servants to do all the small jobs as well as big jobs around his mansion, it was actually the complete opposite. Kaiba preferred to do things for himself, such as cooking (which Kia found amazing) shopping and cleaning.

Kia went with Kaiba on this occasion because she was on the look-out for a birthday gift for him. Last year, she'd bought some lingerie and they spent the night together, after she gave him a Blue-Eyes White Dragon painting she had spent the most of two days painting for him. But she wanted something even more special this year...

"Kia, is everything alright?" Kaiba stood a few feet away, concern evident on his face. He wanted to move closer to her, but she smiled and replied before he could move a muscle.

"Yes yes, I was looking for something..." She thought he'd be satisfied with her answer, but he was curious to know what she was looking for.

"What was it?" he asked, willing to offer his help.

"What was what?" Kia looked puzzled. Already she was looking again along the shelf of ornaments and wasn't paying much attention to Kaiba. He shoved the shopping trolley* away and moved toward her.

"What is it you are looking for?" he queried, browsing the shelf with her. She jumped in surprise and Kaiba laughed.

"I...it's nothing..." Kia managed to mumble, noticing the staring public. Kaiba ignored them however, amd continued to laugh. "Seto, stop..." Kia's small voice seemed smaller as she quietly asked him to stop laughing so much. He calmed down and linked arms with her, grabbing the trolley again and continuing on their way.

In the homeware section of the supermarket, Kia snook away to look at the customised cushions available. She pondered getting one for him...

"Excuse me?" Kia walked up to the counter and spoke to the clerk. "I was wondering what restrictions, if any, that you have regarding the image on the cushions here?" Kia wasn't trying to sound snobby or posh, but the clerk seemed to think she was.

"Oh wow! Just because you're dating Seto freaking Kaiba, you think that you need to speak like a posh snob to us 'lesser' people? Go on, get outta here! I don't sell to your sort!" Kia blinked at him.

"Pardon?" Kia was outraged. How dare he talk to her like that!

"Kia? What's going on here?" Kaiba walked briskly around the corner, having heard the commotion from a few yards away. Kia turned to face him.

"I wanted a new cushion for my library..." Kia lied, crossing her fingers by her right thigh, "And this clerk started accusing me of trying to better than everyone else, just because I'm your girlfriend..." She turned back to the clerk in question.

"I was hoping to buy one of your cushions with a design of my desire decorating the front for my library" she scowled at him. "But if the quality of the cushion is as poor as your attitude, I'm buying this somewhere else" And with that, Kia joined Kaiba and they walked away together.

The clerk stared after the couple and after recieving a nasty glare from Kaiba, decided the next time he saw Ms Boulevard he would treat her as though she were the queen of England.

'Stupid clerk...' Kia thought angrily as Kaiba and she walked out to the car. 'If he hadn't caused such a fuss, I would have bought Seto a cushion with Blue-Eyes on it..."

Kaiba watched Kia in confusion as she stared into space, unblinking and unmoving. She was doing this alot recently and it didn't sit well with Kaiba. Kia blnked after a while and looked around her with curiosity. She caught Kaiba's stare and immediately felt small.

"Am I in trouble or something?" she asked defensively. Kaiba shook his head quickly and smirked.

"You were in a stare, I was wondering what you were thinking about..." As Kaiba spoke, both he and Kia sat into the car.

"I actually don't remember..." And that was the honest truth. She hadn't a clue what she was thinking about.

Later that evening, the main phone in the Kaiba Mansion rang. Kia walked over casually from where the three of them were sitting in the living-room and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" She smirked at Kaiba who was watching her intently from across the room. Mokba stood up and walked out, passing Kia on his way.

"Uh, I'm looking for a Miss Kia Boulevard?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar to her...

"Speaking, might I ask who to?" Kaiba sat up straighter on the sofa, knowing something potentially bad was happening.

"It's uh... George from 'Pillows 'n' Things'*.." Kia frowned. 'Who was this George?' If she were in a cartoon, a lightbulb would have appeared over her head as she realised it was the stupid clerk from earlier.

"What do you want?" Her harsh words made Kaiba stand up and walk toward her. George took a deep breath and began speaking in a robotic voice.

"First and foremost... I wish to apologise for my... appalling behaviour earlier this afternoon..." Kia almost laughed at his apology. It was obvious he was reading from a piece of paper, on which he had spent a while preparing.

"Okay... If the purpose of this call was to simply apologise, then-" She was interrupted.

"If I may... In.. Interject?" George interjected, unsure of himself. "I wish to send you a set of complimentary designed-by-you cushions.." Kia's jaw dropped. Kaiba gripped her shoulders.

"Who is it?" he asked in a harsh whisper. Kia looked over at him.

"It's the clerk from the store, he's apologising..." she muttered to him. He raised his eyebrow like always and asked another predictive question.

"Do you want me to handle him?" Kaiba didn't want Kia to be hassled by that annoying clerk again. Kia smiled at him.

"I got it" she whispered, angling the phone away from her mouth. "Would you get me a glass of water please? I'm parched..." Kaiba nodded slowly and left, knowing something weird was afoot.

In the two years he and Kia had been together, she hadn't ever asked for anything. Well, apart from when she had no choice but to ask him for his help. Kaiba smirked to himself thinking of the few times in the bedroom when Kia had to ask him for something...

Kia was talking rapidly to George. "Okay, obviously you are well aware that I'm Seto Kaiba's girlfriend, and more-than likely you're aware that his favourite duel-monster is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, am I correct?" Kia closed the door of the living room gently and walked briskly to the fireplace.

"Y..Yes miss" George stammered, not expecting this sudden change in tone.

"I was interested in your product because I wanted to purchase a cushion with a Blue-Eyes on the front of it for his birthday..." Kia lit a fire and stood by it, watching the yellow flames slowly caress the logs of wood before they began to turn orange.

"If you wish, I can have that arranged for the two cushions I have here for you!" George interjected enthusiastically. Kia smiled.

"Perfect. You can send them to me; Kia Boulevard, Kaiba Mansion, Domino City." Kia relayed her address to George, who took it down beside her order in his book.

"I'll have them sent to you in four working days, thank you very much Ms Boulevard" The clerk ended the call and sent the order slip into his workshop.

"Treat this order as though it were for the Queen of England" he told his employee, who nodded her head and looked it over. "It's for Seto Kaiba..." George added before leaving her to it.

She pushed a stray strand of blue hair behind her ear and looked at the order with interest. The rest of her hair was tied up into abun, her pale skin as clear as always and her eyes as grey as the clouds that bring rain.

Her name was Kisara. And there was a certain someone she needed to see.
