Hello again! I decided to changed Rebecca's last name back to HOPKINS since a fellow reader pointed out that HOPKINS is the correct ORIGINAL last name of Rebecca. THank you Nameless Warrior for pointing that out! :3 OKay, here's a new chapter!

Chapter 3: He's the Devil
"And who, pray tell is the unfortunate girl, Kaiba seems to like?" said the natural born Number-One-Seto Kaiba-hater, Anzu Mazaki- no, scratch that-Anzu Muto. Anzu placed three cold glasses of water on that coffee table and then took a seat on her couch. She, Rebecca and Mai decided to spend some time together at Anzu's house, which was when Rebecca decided to confess her suspicion and wondered if these ladies wanted to offer they're help.
Rebecca was the first one to reach for her glass and took a sip, "If I tell you, you probably wouldn't believe me." She replied mysteriously.
Mai started to sniff and wipe her tears off her face. Rebecca gave a quizzical look at Anzu, "It's her hormones,"
Anzu handed Mai tissues, which she took gladly and blew her nose, "It's-it's just a true miracle y'know?" Mai began, she blew her nose again, "That the gods can make such a douche like Kaiba –have b-become h-human!"
"Mai," Anzu said, "You need to calm down, think of the baby."
Mai nodded and took several deep breaths. Mai Kujaku is six months pregnant with Katsuya Jonouchi, the baby was conceived after a one night stand. Everyone is not only waiting for the child to be born, but they also wondered when Jonouchi was going to pop the question.
"Urgh, damn Jonouchi…" Mai muttered.
"It's Shizuka,"
After this bizarre response, three things happened at simultaneously, Anzu started to choke on her water, Mai began to sob in hysterics and Rebecca dropped her glass of water on the floor.
"Miracles DO happen!" Mai said teary eyed.
Anzu was taking several deep breaths to save herself, "W-What?!" she croaked.
"Yeah,"Rebecca replied simply, like the answer was obvious, "Kaiba likes Shizuka,"
"THAT'S NO MIRACLE!" Anzu screamed, "THAT'S A CURSE!"
"No, Mai's right it's a miracle!" Rebecca said.
"Explain!" Anzu demanded, "I refuse to believe this! Explain!" Rebecca figured these women were going to react this way. To them, Shizuka is like their little sister, Anzu and Mai are very protective of her.
"This goes against your morals, Anzu," Mai stated quietly, she took a dip from her glass. Anzu decided to ignore her, and give her full, undivided attention to the young blonde haired woman sitting in her couch.
Rebecca nodded, "Alright, I'll tell you EVERYTHING! From the very beginning!"
Rebecca cleared her throat dramatically and thus, began her story…
Rebecca was sitting in the waiting room, waiting for her turn to do her interview. Six months ago, there was an Ad in every media known to man that Mokuba Kaiba, was in need of a secretary. It appears that many women on the planet may have heard the news as well, since the huge conference room was packed.
Rebecca could just tell by their actions and their appearance that many of these women (and some men) only wanted this job to get close to Seto Kaiba.
Rebecca could care less about Seto Kaiba, she glared at the woman next to her who marinated herself in her strong smelling perfume for the fifth time already.
"Stupid Seto Kaiba," Rebecca muttered, "Why does he have to exist?!"
Rebecca heard shrieks of laughter, several seats before herself. Naturally, every one turned their attention to the noise to see what the drama was all about.
A group of women were surrounding a girl with auburn hair, tied into a side French braid, wore thick lens glasses. This girl, Rebecca would later find out is Shizuka. One of the women surround the poor girl took out her cell phone and pretended to make a call.
"Hey, girl!" the dreadful woman said, "My grandmother called…she wants her reading glasses back!" the other women howled with laughter. Rebecca saw the girl bowed her head lower than ever, her face was so red, she looked like she wanted to disappear. Rebecca clenched her fist.
"HEY YOU!" Rebecca suddenly yelled, " The night club called, they want their slut back!"
Everyone flinched upon that insult but no one said anything. Their eyes bounced back to the women bullying the girl.
The women glared at her, Rebecca headed towards the thick lens girl, and she placed her hand on the red-head's shoulder. One of the women in the group opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly, to everyone's surprise, the doors that lead to the rooms held for the interview opened.
There at the doorway, was the silhouette of a man, with his familiar trench coat on.
Everyone became deadly quiet. No one didn't even dared to breath; everyone's only been told that only Mokuba Kaiba and other employees were going to be the interviewer. No one expected for Seto Kaiba to be there as well. To Rebecca's annoyance, everyone immediately started to fix their hair and their outfits.
Kaiba didn't notice or seemed to care that everyone in the room was gawking at him. His cold azure eyes scanned across the room, his nose flaring, as if he were trying to sniff out every person in the room.
He really is dragon! Rebecca thought stupidly. Kaiba's head suddenly snapped towards her direction, and he trudged towards her coming in for the kill.
He stopped in front of the red-haired girl, his cobalt eyes staring upon her. Without warning, Kaiba snatched the poor girl's folder from her lap. The red-head did not dare to look up, she kept her head bowed. As Kaiba looked through the girl's folder, Rebecca heard a snicker come from the other side of the room.
"He's going to kick her out for sure!" someone whispered loudly for everyone to hear.
"She's too ugly to work for a hotty like Kaiba!" agreed another person. They laughed.
Rebecca was outraged! The audacity of those idiots! Rebecca wanted revenge, before she could snap at them, the reclusive girl spoke. Her voice, was so soft that Rebecca had wondered at first if she imagined it.
"I'll understand," She said softly, "if you don't hire me…"
Rebecca glanced at Kaiba, who was still looking through the shy candidate's resume, she wondered if Kaiba had heard her.
Kaiba did his infamous smirk, "You've got some nerve to underestimate me," he said in his usual arrogant voice. He turned around sharply and muttered, "Follow me,"
Kaiba strode away, everyone's jaw dropped. They could not believe that Seto Kaiba wanted to interview a boring, ugly looking girl like her.
Rebecca looked at the introverted girl before her, the girl had taken off her glasses, revealing her flushed cheeks and her cloudy teary eyes. She smiled; Rebecca couldn't believe that she had witnessed such a beautiful smile. Rebecca, never thought in her young age, would ever witness someone falling in love.
Rebecca also noticed how the timid candidate couldn't leave her eyes off the door Kaiba disappeared into. The girl suddenly stood up, looking so confidant and radiant. She followed Seto Kaiba.
"That doesn't explain anything!" Anzu said after Rebecca finished her story. "It SO DOES!" Rebecca yelled back, "He chose her for love at first SIGHT! AND SHE LOVES HIM BACK BECAUSE SHE SAW THROUGH HIS COLD EXTERIOR!"
"I REFUSE TO LET OUR SWEET, GENTLE SHIZUKA GET INVOLVE WITH SATAN'S SPAWN!" Anzu roared.
"SHIZUKA'S HAPPINESS LIES WITH THE DEMONIC KAIBA! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Rebecca yelled.
"SHIZUKA HAS A SOUL!" Anzu yelled back, "KAIBA DOES NOT! HE WILL DEVOUR HER LITTLE SOUL!"
"THEN WE WILL EXORCISE KAIBA'S BODY FIRST THEN WE HOOK HIM UP WITH SHIZUKA!" Rebecca shouted.
Mai is now starting to wonder where in the world this conversation is going. But since Mai is smart, she decided to not say anything and continue drinking her water.
"EXORCISM WILL NOT WORK, SINCE KAIBA IS SATAN HIMSELF! HOLY WATER WILL BURN HIM!" Anzu pointed out.
"THEN WE MUST KILL HIM WITH FIRE, WHICH WILL PURIFY HIS PITIFUL SOUL SO THAT WHEN HE REVIVES, HE WILL BE HUMAN AGAIN!"
"Why are you all yelling?" Mai asked, and she took another drink of her water.
"Yeah, and what's with all the talk about Kaiba being a demon or Satan?" asked Yugi casually.
All the women jumped at the sight of Yugi suddenly sitting next to Anzu, enjoying listening in the conversation.
"Wh-When did you get here?!" Anzu cried, "How much have you heard?!"
"Oh, just now," Yugi replied simply, "and only the part when you were telling Rebecca how exorcism won't work on Kaiba since he's Satan."
Both girl's sweat dropped.
Yugi, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere he just created, gave them a smile, "So what lead to this awkward conversation?"
"KAIBA LIKES SHIZUKA!" Rebecca blurted out childishly.
"I refuse to believe this!" Anzu said.
"Can I have more water, please?" Mai asked politely.
Yugi blinked, "W-What?" he stuttered, "B-But…" Yugi was at lost for words.
But Rebecca decided to fill in, "He doesn't know it though. And Shizuka thinks she's afraid of him, but she's not. She's head over heels for him."
"How do you know that?" Yugi asked quietly.
"I just do."
Yugi and Rebeeca's eyes caught each other. After a few seconds, Yugi nodded and said, "Okay,"
"OKAY?!" both Anzu and Mai cried.
They began to protest against Yugi but Yugi silenced them by asking Rebecca a question.
"How are you going to let Kaiba know about his feelings?"
Rebecca groaned, "That," she admitted, "I don't know,"
A/N: that is indeed the question. How in the world is Rebecca going to convince Kaiba that he has feelings for his secretary? And how is Rebecca going to make Shizuka realize that she isn't afraid of Kaiba? I'm serious everyone, I'm not sure how i'm going to play this out. Please read and review!
