Okay so i lied, every chappie i will alternate point of view, because i came up with the idea that happens at the end, and it would flow smoothly if i wrote in Jonouchi-kun's p.o.v. so without further delay! chappie 2 ! in Jonouchi's p.o.v. head's up, i'm probably going to make this three chappies long, and yes without a doubt there will be a lemon in the final chappie.
'Okay, don't panic...' I thought frantically from my spot on the floor, in front of the desk that was thing only thing between me and...and that monster!
"Get up." He ordered, sitting down with a brief sigh, and glared at me once he was seated comfortably. Somehow, I found my body actually obeying his command, though I couldn't figure out why... "Jonouchi, you'll start tomorrow, after I'm done this work we'll go back to my mansion to get you settled in and I'll explain more once we're there." His arrogant voice instructed, and I simply nodded, I needed this money... Shizuka's future rested on it.
"You can sit down or something, just don't touch anything." Kaiba's voice cut through my thoughts, his obnoxious, smug, irritating and bossy tone. I wanted to smack that mouth clean off his face, but I simply mumbled a thank you, and took a seat on one of the couches in the middle of his massive office.
It felt like an eternity--it was only one simple freaking hour--when Seto announced we could leave, and he led me to his limo. 'Damn rich bastard,' I thought bitterly, getting in and taking a seat. I felt so out of place, so uncomfortable... so vulnerable. It also didn't help that Seto's cold eyes were glaring at me, even if it wasn't a glare I could never tell, his eyes are always cold.
The ride was painfully silent, and all I could do is think of how not to screw up for this job, it was the only one with a really high pay that we agreed upon.
"When we arrive, you will follow me, and be quick about it too. I will show you your room and a tour of places you can go, and there are of course places you CAN'T go, you'll know those when you enter them and I catch you there." Seto's cold, arrogant tone instructed, and soon the limo pulled into a garage under a huge mansion. I got out, and followed Seto precisely a pace behind, my eyes wandering on the walls and interior of his house.
Eventually he led me to a room, that looked more like a closet...my point: it was small. It had a bed, a desk/drawer, and an even smaller closet! 'Gee thanks...' I thought bitterly, and he instructed me to put my things away quickly, which I did for some reason. As if the thought of disobeying him would tear me apart or something. After I finished, he started leading me around to the place I can go, warning me of the places I can't. I was half listening anyway, and out of the blue, a small dark haired boy crashed into my legs.
"I'm sorry!" He cried apologetically, making a huge fuss, while Seto sighed in annoyance. "Mokuba, it's fine, you don't need to apologize. Jonouchi is going to be working for me, so you don't need to," Seto's monotone, indifferent voice said to his brother, and kept walking expecting me to follow. I was about to, when Mokuba grabbed my wrist, "I'm still sorry Jonouchi. Why are you working for my brother?" The innocence and curiousity in his voice was cute, and very expected, he is a kid after all.
"I--"
"JONOUCHI!" Before I could answer, Seto's sharp, and obviously upset voice echoed in the halls. It made my blood run cold, but after calming myself down, I smiled at Mokuba and apologized saying we'd talk later, and then I ran after Seto who greeted me with a glare. "Don't be friendly with him. When I'm not around, he's also you're boss Jonouchi. Is that clear?"
I gulped slightly, his gaze was too powerful, but I nodded meekly, "Yes Sir..." Somehow I felt that if I stared too long, I would get lost, and I'd be completely vulnerable to him. Something that worries me, but also makes me curious... What would he do? It's hard to admit, even to myself, and no one else knows, but I feel this strange attraction to him. I do love his eyes, they're so cold and easy to get lost in. His voice drifted into my ears, something about dinner? 'huh?'
"...down at the dinning room by six thirty sharp. I will not have you late for this on your first day, and there are two outfits in your closet; one is for winter, and the other for summer." There was a slight and brief moment of indecision on his face, but it vanished just as soon as it came, "Wear the summer one." With that he disappearaed behind a door that I had a suspicion I was not to enter, and with a shrug I turned to wander before I had to change.
-----18:27-----
"Stupid mansion... Why does it have to be so big!?" I huffed, my breath slightly lost, having had to run back to my room after taking too many wrong turns. I should have just come here after Seto finished showing me around, and then I would have time to be shocked at what the 'summer outfit' was...
There was a mirror on one of the closet doors, and staring back at me was a blonde in extremely short jean shorts, with ribbons that were tied in the back about the tailbone and they fanned out like a tail or something. On the blonde's legs were fish-net stocking that started at his ankles and stopped half way up his slim thighs. On the blonde's hands were gloves with the fingers cut off, and they were damn soft, must be velvet or silk... Covering the blonde's torso was a slightly ruffled, transparent shirt, which stopped at his midrif, and had straps connecting at the back, which then exposed most of his flesh. Another horrifying feature of this outfit was the collar with a loop, which fit like a dream regretfully, and topped with headband brandishing two triangular kanine ears.
I stood there, eye twitching, and started in shock. This can't be happening. It can't be... He doesn't actually want me to wear this? And in front of his little brother!!! Shit... Maybe I should have kept looking for a job... --18:29:35-- Fuck, I don't have time to worry about that!
I ran out of my room, the ribbons trailing behind me with the wind, and luckily I had passed the dinning room when I was lost so I knew where I was going. I found it! Hooray! Kanpai!! I had seconds to catch my breath... --18:29:58--
Two more seconds, and there, I opened the door slowly fearing that Mokuba was in there. Okay he wasn't but I'm not sure I'm supposed to be relieved, because now the realization is that I'm alone with Seto Kaiba, and I'm wearing this skimpy outfit! My mind wouldn't be still, and it didn't help that my cheeks were burning with embarrassment, but I somehow managed to calm myself in time for him to call me over. I obeyed, after all my job depended on it, and without warning I was yanked down to me knees.
When I tried to stand, I was hindered by the leash attached to the chair Seto was sitting on, and when I looked up at him to yell at him I got slapped. Not lightly either. "Don't say anything." Seto's cold, bossy voice rang into my ears, "This is how we'll be eating everynight unless I'm not here. In that event, I will have instruction set for you to do otherwise. Now open."
Against my dignity and moral free will, I ate the offered forkful of steak, and nodded. 'Assistant, my ass... I'm his fucking slave!' I kept thinking in between taking bites of food, 'But if he wants me in this outfit, it means there has to some kind of attraction to me...right?' I sighed inwardly, hoping to some degree that I'm right, and yet fearing that it may be temporary. Occasionally after taking a bite, I would look around, wondering where Mokuba was, and now that I think about it, having him around would only make this more embarrassing.
"Mokuba's not here. He's at a friends house," Seto's voice startled me, how could it be that he knew I was wondering? "It was written on your face." Seto added smugly, smirking down at me. I gulped, taking another bite he offered, and cursed myself since I must have blushed again. I can't help it, his eyes and that smirk, it's enough to make me melt.
Before long, the leash was removed and I had instructions once more, I was to bring the empty plate to the kitchen to be washed by someone else, and then return to Seto's side. At this rate--as long as he doesn't hit me anymore--I might be able to get used to this.
"Any questions?" Seto asked me, mindlessly patting my head, like I was the animal he constantly calls me in front of my friends. My heart raced a little, I'm pathetic, I like this treatment and affection from him. But as for questions... There's the obvious, 'What the fuck is going through your mind?' or 'Why don't you pay for a real slave?' But then I thought, those questions would cost me my job, and my chance at paying for Shizuka's bills.
"Am I going to be wearing this at the office?" I asked, realizing I'd die from embarrassment if Seto forced me to wear this there.
"Only in my office. But when you are doing work around the office you will wear the winter one since the building is kept cold." Seto answered, and I admit it wasn't the answer I was necessarily wanting, but its better than what I had imagined. Now that he's mentioned it, I've wondered why he wear tight clothes and cloaks in his office, I guess that explains it.
"Uhm Sir?" I tentatively asked, embarrassed the question was about to leave my mouth.
"Yes Jonouchi?"
"In this job, am I to sleep in that room?" I looked at the ground with red cheeks.
"What are you trying to suggest? That you want to sleep in the same room as me?" The disgust and shock was thick in his voice, and I don't know what hurt more, the fact he was horrified by me or that I might loose my job from this. "Well, I mean ... er, that is.. But why else would you have me in this outfit?" I pointed out, looking at his face with a pouting expression, and tried making my body seem more appealing.
"See the kitchen maid, she'll inform you of your nightly duties." Was all he said before standing and walking out of the room, leaving it silent as the graves. But soon, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of droplets hitting the cold tiled floors, my tears. After roughly five minutes I gathered my strength to see this kitchen maid Seto mentioned, I found her luckily, and she gave me a big list to do.
At least the list of duties let me explore the mansion and by the time they were completed, I knew the mansion's places I can go by the back of my hand. On my way back to my room, Mokuba had found me, saying Seto wanted to see me about something. 'Probably to mock me further, or diss me like always.' I thought, heading to the door I guessed led to his room, and knocked.
"If that's you Jonouchi, then come in." His voice said to me from behind the wood, and I obeyed, closing the door behind me. "Lock it," He ordered. I nodded, making sure to hear the click as the door locked, and once again found my eyes on Seto. The brunette was sitting on the edge of his bed, the dark blue flanel Pajama shirt unbuttoned half way down, and the pants making his legs long and slender. When I opened my mouth to ask why I was here, he barked my order, "There's an outfit for you in the bathroom. Change into it, and then come back out and sit at the foot of my bed."
I gulped with a nod, heading to the bathroom like ordered, and found the outfit to be somewhat similar to the one I'm wearing now. I guess the only exception is that this was more like PJ's. The bottoms were still short, about the same length as the tight black jean shorts I just shed, but I like how the fabric of the Pajama's feels against my skin.
The shirt, was like his, full sized and very breathable. I sighed, knowing I should have guessed this, but I was still curious if he actually felt something towards me. My hope faltered after I recalled his reaction to my question, and knew it wouldn't be possible for him to. "WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?" I cringed with fear at his voice, shit I forgot where and who I was with, and scampered out of the bathroom to sit on the floor at the foot of his bed. "If it weren't for the fact that you're so cute, I probably have fired you by now for all the times you've pissed me off, or worse..."
'Fire me? Wait worse? That's not reassuring...But wait--he said I was--Ack!' My thougths were interupted when he lifted me without effort of the ground and pulled me close to his chest, lying on the bed, and I feebly pushed off him. "Isn't this what you wanted?"My arms lost all strength after he spoke with a tone that doesn't suit him, and I knew it was true, he knows how I feel and I let my arms become limp as he pulls me closer against his body.
I nodded with a small yawn, "It is..." I murmured, closing my eyes after such a tiring day, and felt him removing the headband before I drifted into slumber. My final thought for the day was, 'This is the man I love...'
------five months later---------
This lovely, and cold wintery night has left me at home while Seto's at the office--like usual. This time I've entertained myself cleaning his living rooms, yes rooms, and am currently dusting the tops of the shelves in this one. His mansion has about four, so I get to stay plently busy when he isn't home, I just find it odd and somewhat sad that he hasn't kissed me yet in these past months... I guess I'm not that cute after all.
I sighed deeply, and when I opened my eyes, Seto was suddenly in my face. "Nyaagh?!" I straightened on the armrest of the couch I was standing on, and lost my balance falling backwards, and again when I opened my eyes Seto was in my face. This type of situation had happened a lot in the past five months, but they were all interrupted by one way or another, and everytime I blushed heavily like now.
"Have you been keeping out of trouble?" He asked, smirking, and it was always something along those line. By the fifth time I realized he'd been wanting reason to punish me, and I'd always play coy...
"What kind of trouble do you mean Sir?" I tried hard not to smirk cutely, because I know this is what he wants to hear. I had found out his real feelings for me about a month ago, and since then, we've been trying to get every opportunity we can get. And everytime I get my hopes up, there's an interruption.
"You missed a spot, in the second living room." He said bluntly, but with tease. I tried really hard not to smile at this point, he knows I always clean flawlessly, and when he acts like this it makes me want to laugh so hard. "But Sir, I haven't missed anything since I started."
"It's what you took from the second living room is what I mean." He smirked, and I love it when he smirks, but what he said confuses me. He hasn't ever said anything like that before, "You're too involved in cleaning that you don't realize you've gotten dirty."
"Where-?"
"You can't see it, since it's on your face." Seto interrupted, taking one of his strong hands to carress my cheek, where I'm guessing the dirt or whatever was. Somehow, I question if there is actually dirt on my face or not now...
'This is it, finally! I've been waiting too long for this!' I thought, managing to keep my emotions off my face as his draws closer. My heart beats faster everytime I feel his breath on my face, more concentrated on my lips, and mere inches apart. ... However, where there's a will, there's a way...
"BIG BROTHER!" Mokuba's voice called out, not far from where we were, and ranted about the Kaiba corp. having a problem of some-sort. In short, Seto needed to leave and take a look at it. We both sighed, it was so close, and yet I kind of knew it was too good to be true. He stood off the couch, and when he left, I realized how we were positioned.
My right leg was up on the back of the couch, which left me wide open to him as he had straddled my other leg, and one of my hands was pinned by his while the other lay rested close to my waist to support himself. Again I blushed heavily, it was like the others, he was in control and I was desperate for this. I suspected he knew, and sighed disheartenedly, 'It's never going to happen is it?' I pried myself off the couch and resumed cleaning, checking to see that there was actually some dirt on my face, and wiped it off.
Seto arrived later that night, I could tell since I wasn't sleeping, and could hear his limo pull into the garage. I sat on the foot of his bed, like always if he needed to go back to Kaiba corp., and was dressed in capri PJ's for the winter. Eventually the door to his room opened, and I stood, like routine, going over to him and greeting him with a bow. He'd hand me something of his clothing, and I'd put it away after locking the door, then bring him his PJ's.
"What was the problem Sir? If I may ask," I did, and had known my place for months. Even so, there have been times I've stepped out of line, and the scars on my back constantly remind me.
"Some idiot tried to hack our security." Seto answered, sounding sleep-deprived and completely annoyed and I didn't speak after that, only unless he spoke to me first. After he had changed he crawled beneath the covers, looking at me briefly before shutting his eyes, and then I crawled in after him. He always left a space where I can fit my small body into, usually on his left, and when I become snuggled in to my liking he rolls onto his side hugging me tighter against him. Everytime, my heart races, and I sigh dreamily--I think he does it on purpose. I could be wrong, but I usually hear him huff in victory afterwards... Tonight though, it's different; it's still the strong arms I love around me, but they seem disturbed by something, and I'm worried.
----------
The next morning, I blinked my eyes open to see no Seto--it's not like it was the first he's gone to work before me--but there, taped to the pillow were my instructions:
Jonouchi,
Dress in the winter outfit, and come to the office, I'll have lots for you to do.
Kaiba.
I sighed when I saw that he signed his last name, but I guess it was business. Fifteen minutes later I headed to the garage to check if he had a ride for me. Standing at the door that connects the house and the garage, I look in shock and awe at the vehicle Seto has left for me, I can tell because it's my favorite colour. With a clear path to a door, resting on a kickstand, is a relatively new, and relatively expensive motorcycle. My birthday had just past, but two months ago, he took me to get my liscence. "Now I think I love that man more than I did." I murmured to myself, swinging a leg dressed in tight leather over the bike, and putting on the helmet left on the seat. The keys were already in the ignition, so I just had to turn them, and when I did, the bike purred wonderfully.
I knew my first job: thank him. I pulled out of the garage, and started my way to Kaiba Corp. the wind rushing past me, but I couldn't really feel anything due to leather outfit. Yup, leather, which was surprisingly breathable. 'Seto thinks of everything,' I thought happily, since the pants were skin tight, and the boots came past my knees but allowed good movement. The shirt was again tight, and the sleeves were cut off with a low cut neck, but that coudn't be seen under the jacket. The jacket had straps on the arms with buckles, and across the chest, even on the back. Again, on my neck was a black leather collar, though this one didn't have a loop to attach to anything, it did hinder my breathing a little.
---
"Hey did you see that hottie, Mayoka?" A short-haired teen asked, pointing after Jonouchi.
"I did! Yummy!!" Mayoka grinned, "But wait... Didn't the bike come out of the Kaiba mansion?" Both girls blinked, and looked at each other, as Mayoka spoke again, "You don't think they're..."
---
Not fifteen minutes later I arrived at the gigantic building that was Kaiba Corp. and parked in a stall where there was a rectanlge that said "Reserved" in my favorite color. Seto really does think of everything, and I'm thankful as I pulled the helmet off my hair, shaking it loose how I prefer, and walk into the building. Luckily I know my way around, and in another fifteen minutes have climbed the stais that led to Seto's office.
"Ohayou gozaimasu Jonouchi-kun," Seto's secretary smiled at me, "Kaiba-san is free at the moment." She was a sweet lady, happily married with four kids, and always smiled at me. I liked her, simply for that, and thanked her as I poked my head through the door to see Seto type madly away at his computer. His eyes flashed briefly at me before returning to the computer screen, "Well?"
He was acting, he knew I got the bike, and he wanted to make sure I thanked him properly. "Sir, could you stand up please?" I asked, walking over to his desk, putting the helmet on the couch on my way. I arrived at his desk, but he was still typing, and before I got to ask again, he stood smirking at me. No sooner did he stand did I wrap my arms around his neck, and press my lips agaisnt his. I could feel tears of happiness sting my eyes, as well as Seto wrap his arms around my waist.
Without warning, he thrust his tongue into my mouth, making me nearly choke but instead I found my tongue playing with his. Finally. I've kissed him, I have waited too long for this, and I can tell he has too. When he pulled away, a tear fell down my cheek, and he kissed it away gently, smiling down at me. His smile, not smirk, was way better, and made him look ten--no thousand times more handsome. I smiled back, "I love you Seto."
His smile grew, and I knew it was a little embarrassing for him to say the same, so instead I hugged him tight burying my head into his chest. I could feel his strong arms tighten around me, as if afraid to let me go.
"Kaiba-san? Your ten-thirty is here."
Before I had time to blink, Kaiba was sitting at his computer again, acting like nothing happened. I knew I was hurt, but I also knew he had a reputation as a business man, "Jonouchi. First go to the kitchen and eat something, then go see Marla on the thirty-secondth floor, and offer your help to her. Juila, show him in."
"Yes Sir," I bowed, leaving by my exit/entrance Seto showed me, just as the middle-aged man with a cold stare and freshly dry-cleaned suit entered the room. 'That's right, it's Merger Day...' I thought, recalling when Mokuba told me that this was the day Seto hated the most, since other businesses tried to get a deal from him.
Hours later, Marla said I was finished, and I sighed gratefully. She was a slave driver compared to Seto, and I happily went to the kitchen for something to return my strength to me. It was true as well, that I'm glad I'm wearing the winter outfit, the leather was perfect for insulating me against the air-conditioning of this building. On my way out, the head-chef stopped me, saying Seto's probably stressed out, and insisted I bring him some tea.
Heading up the stairs that led to my door, I could visualize where the chef said teacups were in Seto's office, though I find it a little odd he drinks tea, I'm not really complaining. I prefer tea as well, and opened the door not realizing voices could have been heard. "Sir? I brought you some tea and... oh... I'm sorry."
There was a woman about mid thirties, hair pulled tight back into a bun, and complimenting make-up. Her navy blue skirt suit made her look powerful and confident, and I gulped slightly about to apologize once more but Seto spoke, "Ah Jonouchi... Good timing, Ochiai-san was just leaving."
"You'd be wise to consider this offer Kaiba-san," She warned angrily, and I knew that she was the type that wouldn't take no for an answer.
"That will be all Ochiai-san." Seto glared, warning her as well, which made her huff and storm out of his office but not before giving me the coldest look I've ever seen. As if the building was cold enough, now I felt like I was standing in a freezer. I barely found strength to walk the tea over to Seto's desk, and get the cups from a drawer. "That woman is so stubborn." Seto sighed in frustration, taking a sip of the tea I poured him, "Thank you Jonouchi..."
"You're welcome Sir," I said, kneeling by his desk, "Can I ask who that woman was?"
"She owns the most profitable industry for make-up, but I don't see how a partnership with her will benefit me." Seto sighed, finishing off his tea, and I poured another cup for him.
"You can go home if you want to Jonouchi, your work here at the office is done." Seto said, and when I looked at the time on his computer screen I saw that it was already 16:30. "But when you get home, cook something for Mokuba, and change into the summer outfit." His orders came with a smile and I bowed, leaving the teapot for him, not noticing that the weather had turned worse. I only noticed the massive thunderstorm when I got to the parking lot and there was a puddle in the center.
"Lovely..." I sighed, putting the helmet over my head, and started the engine. I pulled out of the parking lot easily enough, but the roads were more my concern, since this is the first time I've ever driven on wet pavement.
Looking in the side view mirrors, I saw a black car with tinted windows, and realized this car had been following me since I left Kaiba Corp. Normally I would have taken evasive manuevers, but with these road conditions, I knew better than to take any chances. I neared the intersection that turned into the street where Seto's mansion was on, and as I started up the hill, my tires were slipping a little so I put on more speed trying to get traction.
Before I knew it, that black car with the tinted windows hit my back tire, swinging the bike out from under my control, and I found the traction I was looking for. However at the angle and speed I was going, the bike took off and colided with a tree, throwing me to the ground. I managed to only get minor scratches on my body as it rolled onto the sidewalk and into a cement fence around another mansion. Unfortunately the impact caused me to black out, and the last thing I remember is two guys who looked as tall as Seto walking in my direction.
--------
When I woke up next, I found my hands were tied together, and I was locked in a room that looked like it was in someone's basement. At least I had a bed... Though I don't know how long I've been down here. Hours? Days? Who knows... But my only thought is Seto... And I hope he can find me.
you all are going to hate me ((barracades self in bomb shelter)) XD next chappie up as soon as i can remain composed enough to write the sex. And it will be in Seto's P.O.V. ... ttfn!
