I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and never will…

I failed my goal (finishing it before Christmas)…oh well I'm still going to finish this story! Thank you so much for the reviews! Flames will not be allowed, but constructive criticism is welcomed.

Seto Kaiba is not attracted to his brother's secretary. He doesn't find her appealing or attractive. He doesn't want to know how she tastes or feels like. Seto Kaiba is NOT turned on by her. So why does he stare at her ass when she's walking? Seto x Serenity

Betcha Never

Betcha never you'd touch my heart…

Chapter Three


The delivery boy walked out of the elevator with a deadly pale complexion. Who knew that standing beside Seto Kaiba had such an effect? The boy's steps were slow and painful. He didn't dare turn around. He was afraid for his life. But he didn't do anything! He didn't even say a word! Yet he was traumatized for the rest of life.

"Could you move?" The voice sent a shiver up his spine. "You're blocking the way." He could feel his employer's blue eyes glaring down on him.

Seto Kaiba stared in wonderment as the young delivery boy ran down the hallway. He didn't walk nor power walk, nor jog, but ran. 'He can represent Japan in the Olympics…'

The young CEO started walking towards his brother's office while ignoring the looks he received. The respond of his employees were the same as the ones upside. They rushed to their areas pretending to be working. Some avoided the gaze of the brunette while others, mainly women, tried to grab his action with lustful looks or moves. Sadly for them, Kaiba's mind was somewhere else. His thoughts were wrapped around the incident that occurred earlier in his office, primarily on the ginger headed woman. His mind still didn't get rid of those thoughts. He as well didn't come up with an answer to his actions.

Personal delivery? (Run for the hills!)

'I will know for sure that she received the documents.' The excuses began. Seto tried to reason with himself and come up with a rational excuse. 'There won't be any delay and she will fax them over immediately if I hand it to her in person.' He smirked. He got that out of the way. Now to hand in the papers and leave, he shouldn't waste time on this. He had a company to run after all.

Kaiba reached his brother's section; he knew that because he could a certain lovely voice.

"How could I have not noticed?" The CEO's lips curled up into a smirk, he knew exactly what she was talking about.

'Pink bra, cup C…' He stopped in shock. Where the heck did that come from? 'Damn hormones.' Seto massaged his temples. Christ! What was wrong with him today? It's probably just side effects of working nonstop for the last two weeks. He hadn't slept for more than three hours for the past weeks. The new shipments overseas were becoming a greater problem than he had expected, especially now that the States was heading towards a recession. Of course there were other things to deal with, one being that damn party, which by the way he isn't planning to attend.

"I'm sure that Serenity would make a perfect date." His brother's words came back to haunt him. Kaiba rolled his eyes at the thought. She would be a good eye candy in his opinion.

Taking Seto Kaiba out of his thoughts was strong voice with a mischievous tone. "…your pretty face will be marked by the keys." His eyes darted to the door that led to the vice president's office. A sandy blond man probably as tall of him or maybe an inch shorter was leaning against the doorframe. Just who was he? Why wasn't he running in fear like the others?

"Ryouta?" That got Kaiba's full attention.

His eyes darted the figure of the man as he causally walked into the office. Kaiba followed quickly behind with silent steps. His ears became deaf as his eyes watched the scene unfold before him. The one named Ryouta, who Kaiba had recognized to be a worker in the foreign affair department, walked over to the distressed red head. Kaiba flinched when the other man laid a hand on the woman's shoulder. His eyes narrowed as the man leaned in closer to the woman.

A strange and unknown feeling formed within Seto Kaiba. It was a mix of anger, he wanted to harm (or if possible kill) that guy, and fear, he was scare to lose something (someone). Confusion then arose…why was he feeling like this? It didn't make sense. Why did he care how close Ryu, or what's his name, is to Serenity? He shouldn't even bother with them. It's their own business as long as they did their job (correctly of course) then fine! However, it bothered him greatly and he didn't like it.

'Jealousy…' Yes, that's what it was. Kaiba concluded that he was jealous. It was an unfamiliar emotion to him. He rarely-well never felt it, after all he had everything! Okay, so he was jealous, but for what reason? So what? That guy was a little too close to Serenity, the woman that held his attention every time she walked into the room, it didn't matter. It wasn't a big deal that the brown eyes of that other man were eying the well developed figure of Serenity and practically flirting with her. (Wrong!)

However, it was a big deal to Seto. He watched from the doorway with a grim face. Yes, today was a great day for Seto Kaiba and it wasn't even his lunch time. Ryouta was sitting relaxed on the desk and the secretary was now calmed with a small smile on her face as she listened to man who comforting her. It was such a romantic scene that Kaiba desperately hated and wanted to ruin.

"I don't think he will mind if you slip out." Excuse me? Who's going out? It was the perfect moment to have his presence be known. He as well wanted to know what the hell was going on. (and wanted to stop these crazy thoughts of jealously.)

"Who won't mind what?"

Serenity was thankful that she was sitting down. If she wasn't then she would have fallen. His voice just scared her. He came out of no where! Wait, what was he doing here in the first place? The dragon never left his lair…

Her heart started to beat faster as her mind was full of different possibilities. Oh my, was he here to fire her? Talk to her about the incident upstairs? Her cheeks were turning pink as she thought of that. He was ready to dismiss her! She should plan looking for another job…yes she should do that right now…!

"Good afternoon Mr. Kaiba, how can we help you today?" Serenity looked up at the brave soul who dared to speak first, Ryouta. The blond smiled at his boss as he got off the desk, he stood next to Serenity and continued to stare at the brunette who remained unchanged.

The woman tried to remain calm. However, it was hard to do. She didn't like the tension that was building up. Her hazel eyes looked over at the Kaiba, he was definitely angry and that was never good. Serenity had a feeling she was going to witness the dragon's rage, that she never seen first hand. And great for her, she was target…right? Ryouta had nothing to do anything so Seto Kaiba was after her, right?

After what seems like hours for the woman her boss' voice cut the silence.

"I would like an answer to my question." She would sense the bitterness in his voice. He looked over at her. Serenity felt lost and speechless as she stared into his sapphire eyes.

Once again she was saved by the man, who she had forgotten was there, "I was just discussing with Ms. Wheeler if she wanted to have lunch with me. I was telling her that Mr. Mokuba wouldn't mind if she left for lunch." Serenity was amazed that the man remained undisturbed by the presence of their boss. It was a miracle.

"What exactly gave you that idea?" Serenity noted that Kaiba was not trying to hide the fact that he was pissed off.

"Ms. Wheeler has already finished her job for the afternoon. I think it's safe to say that Mr. Mokuba won't be needing her for a while. As you well know for an employee to work efficiently a break is needed in their day." Ryouta spoke again with his calm tone.

"My brother isn't her only her boss." Kaiba replied quickly. That guy was pushing his buttons and in the wrong way. "I may need Ms. Wheeler's assistance."

Yes, she was very thankful for the chair. She almost lost her balance again. What's going on?' She couldn't help, but wonder as she closely observed her boss. 'There's something different.' Yes, there was something else. He was angry no doubt about that, but he was also acting like Joey when that Australian guy came to visit Mai.

'No!' She blinked as she continued to think about it. 'No, it couldn't be.' Her heart was beating faster for another reason now. 'Jealously?' It was impossible, Seto Kaiba can't be jealous.

Serenity wasn't the only one who figured it out. Ryouta raised an eyebrow at his new revelation. Who would have thought Seto Kaiba was one of those men?

Yes, Seto Kaiba was one of those men who was after dear Serenity. The young man almost laughed out loud. This was very interesting. Serenity was an attractive woman. Ryouta will admit that he was dumbstruck when he first met her and she had a personality to match her beauty. However, Ryouta was a loyal man to his fiancée and thus he had a platonic relationship with Serenity. Now Seto Kaiba was different, he didn't someone he could whisper sweet nothings to. He was single and attracted to Serenity beyond the point of just being friends...at least that's how it looked. He also knew that Serenity had a thing for Seto Kaiba…

He smirked. This could be used to his advantage or at least entertainment. "Mr. Kaiba, you are absolutely right. I wasn't thinking." He was lucky that his voice didn't crack, he really wanted to laugh, but he had to pull this off.

Ryouta turned his attention to the woman with ginger locks. She hadn't said a word the whole time. "Ah Serenity, Mr. Kaiba is right. I guess we'll have to reschedule for some other time." He took a hold of Serenity's hand, he had a feeling he would be dead by tomorrow morning or tonight. He could felt Kaiba's heated glare on him, Ryouta was surprised that he wasn't melting.

Serenity was taken back by the gesture and eyed Ryouta, something was going on. From the first day she met Ryouta she knew he was joker like her brother. Sometimes she wondered how his fiancée can put up with him. However, the same thing can be wondered about her, how can she deal with Joey? Maybe that's why she liked Ryouta, he was her brother at work.

Ryouta spoke, "I have a better idea, come over to my house. I'll make a home cook meal for you. It has been a while since we talked away from the company." The brown eyed man tried to keep on a straight face, but that was hard to do. From the corner of his eyes, he watched as his boss twitched in frustration. Yes, the plan was working! Score!

Serenity was surprised at the offer. For that moment her mind forgot about the issue with Kaiba and his so called jealously. It just flew out the window. She looked strangely at her friend. His brown eyes were glimmering with mischief. She chose her words carefully, "I would like-" She didn't finish.

No…This was not happening. That idiot thinks he can talk back and flirt shamelessly with her in front of him! Yea, someone was getting fired!

Kaiba was sure that the papers were ruined by now. He had a tight grip on the documents, his knuckles were white.

To hell with it! He was jealous, pissed off, annoyed and in a mood to destroy. Seto Kaiba will admit that he is drawn to the Wheeler and he doesn't like the way Ryouta is holding her hand or looking at her. However, he will not admit or even come to the conclusion that he has any feelings further than lustful one for that woman!

"I would like-" She was answering?

No…

"I suggest you stop this foolishness, before I fire you two." Kaiba watched as the man turned towards him, but didn't let go of Serenity's hand. Serenity turned pale. Seto continued, "You two can discuss dinner plans-" He will make sure that there weren't going to be any dinner plans anytime soon. "-later after working hours. If you don't mind…" His cold eyes looked directly at Ryouta, "I want you to leave." His voice grew stronger, "I must have a word with Wheeler."

Alone? Serenity looked at Kaiba with an open mouth. She had to be alone with him again?

It was fun while it lasted. Ryouta thought as he let go of Serenity. He smiled as he looked down at her. He saw her worry eyes. "Don't worry. Everything will turn out fine." And he wasn't talking about the dinner plans. "We'll make plans some other time." He walked around the desk and towards Kaiba who moved aside. Ryouta bowed at his boss, he smiled. This afternoon was very entertaining. As he got to the door, he turned around behind Kaiba's back and gave Serenity a thump up with a grin.

Serenity looked confused. She was missing something. "What?" She said aloud.

Ryouta closed the door and walked away laughing. How many people can say that they got the Seto Kaiba pissed off and was able to laugh about it at the end?

The silence was back and neither of them liked it.

Serenity was nervous again and Seto Kaiba was Seto Kaiba, proud that he got rid of that pest.

Serenity looked up from her desk and stared at the still figure of Kaiba. She cleared her throat and got the courage to talk. "I'm sure you're here to talk about the Singapore papers. Is everything to your liking?" She asked as she stood from her seat and walked around her desk. Her plan was to get the papers and have him leave as soon as possible. She wasn't in mood to deal with anything, she just wanted her lunch break.

Kaiba ignored her question and got the point. "Next time Wheeler keep your personal affairs away from work."

Serenity was confused yet again, "Excuse me?" She didn't like his little comment, she knew it wasn't going to go well.

"What did I mention upstairs to you earlier?"

She thought back to their past moment. Serenity really didn't want to remember. "You don't like to repeat yourself." She quoted his previous words. Her mind tried desperately to block out the rest of the memory.

Seto let a small smile grace his handsome face. "Exactly." He walked closer to her.

"Very well sir, it won't happen again. I can assure you of that." She wanted to wrap that up and move onto the next topic. "Now going back to the papers, were they to your liking?"

Kaiba sensed her hurry, however, at the moment he wasn't in any rush. "They were acceptable." They were actually more than acceptable. It's almost as if he did them, of course the keyword is almost. "I signed them expect them to be shipped out by four today." He handed her the documents that weren't destroyed by chance.

The woman took them and placed them on the desk. She turned to Kaiba, "I will do that now. Is that all?" She prayed for a yes.

"No…" Serenity controlled back a sigh of frustration. She nodded for her boss to continue. "I want to get started on the Yotsuba project." Yes, he was going to keep her busy. Sorry, but no date plans for now. "So I suggest you don't make arrangements tonight or anytime soon."

Serenity raised an eyebrow as she leaned in closer. "That project isn't suppose to be active until December." It was way too early for it. There are other things to worry about at the moment, like what's going on in the States.

"I like to get a head start." It was a typical Kaiba answer.

Serenity didn't say anything.

"We will conduct the outline this evening."

What is wrong with him? Serenity was collecting her thoughts, "This is very short notice. I was actually-" However, she was quickly interrupted.

Seto already knew where she was going. "You were considering going out with that flirtatious idiot." The bitterness was back.

"Yes I wa-" She stopped herself as her mind went back to his words. Did he just insult her friend? And flirting? It was getting annoying having to listening to him sometimes. She took the risk again and let her tongue run loose. "First of all, Ryouta is not an idiot. I don't appreciate you disrespecting my friend. And second, he was not flirting."

"Not flirting?" The CEO chuckled at this, he stepped closer to the red head. "He had his hands all over you and he wasn't looking at you with innocent eyes." Just the thought of it was making him angry again.

"What?" She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. Where did he see that? She would like to know! "I don't recall any of that. Yes it is true that he held my hand, but he wasn't all over me. Ryouta will never look at me in that such a way. He was asking me for dinner not a one night stand!" Now she was the one getting angry.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Dinner at his house. What does that say?" His tone was demanding.

"You shouldn't assume things right away!" Didn't Kaiba know about Emiko? Ryouta's fiancée? "I'm positive you don't know that-"

He didn't let her finish. "What am I suppose to think if I see two of my employees this close." It was then that Serenity noticed the small space between them. She moved back, hitting the edge of her desk. But that didn't change their position. Another step and he would be on top of her.

"Holding hands and talking about a dinner date. It's straight out of a high school movie. I'm surprise he didn't kiss you good bye before he left." Serenity could smell his cologne. She left her knees getting weak as she stared into his eyes.

"Mr. Kaiba, you are going too far with this." She placed a hand on his chest. He flinched on the contact. He also noticed how close they were. "Making up things without knowing the facts." She tried to push him back, but no use. She couldn't, she didn't want too.

"Facts? I saw enough-" This time she didn't let him finish. Kaiba was impressed.

"No, you didn't see anything. You don't know anything. Ryouta has a fiancée and he will never be unfaithful to her. I have been to his house countless of times just to have dinner and all those times Emiko has been there. You know nothing of Ryouta to make up such assumptions."

That was something new. Fiancée? Yes, he didn't know about that. However, he wasn't going to confess that he was wrong. His silence was enough for her to know that she was right and that she maybe actually won this little battle.

"Mr. Kaiba, you got the wrong impression of Ryouta and me. Now won't someone get the wrong one about us if they happen to walk in?" Serenity didn't want that. It really wasn't such a comfortable position. It will give someone the idea that they were about to kiss or that he was about to ravage her on the desk.

"I rather have people talk about us than about you with someone else."


AAAAAAAAA! I never thought I would say this, but I hate Seto Kaiba. Why must you be so hard to write? I don't like how Kaiba came out. Way out of character…
