Chapter 5: The Long Shot

Crud. Things weren't going out as well as Rebecca had expected. Kaiba, as it turned out, hasn't budged since Rebecca had 'convinced' him take Shizuka to places to that she will get used to him. But so far, NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING has happened. Kaiba is his usual desk. Shizuka's in hers and she still can't look at Kaiba in the eye. Of course, Rebecca had expected Kaiba not to lift a finger. He is Seto Kaib after all, CEO of Kaibacorp, multibillionaire…etc. The man was busy as it is. There was just no way Kaiba could have done it in just a day. Plus, it would take time for Shizuka to realize her true feelings for him. The same would apply to Kaiba…except…it would probably take much longer.

Crud. Just crud.

Maybe asking Kaiba to do that was probably a long shot. Perhaps the best way to approach the situation is to tackle the little problem first then deal with the bigger one. Rebecca's eyes lit up. Of course! How could she have been so stupid? The first thing she had to do is deal with Shizuka first and Kaiba later! But how to deal with Shizuka? She's so sensitive, sweet and kind. How do you convince a shy girl that she's actually in love with her egomaniac of a boss?

Rebecca took another bite of her forbidden sandwich as she made her way back to her desk. She placed her forbidden sandwich on a napkin in her drawer, and then sat on her desk thinking. How do you convince a timid woman that she's in love with a dragon?

She will deny that she has feelings for Kaiba, plus she would also be scared witless if she ever realized Kaiba's true feelings for her. If only Shizuka could be persuaded that Kaiba's not that scary of a guy. Rebecca suddenly squealed in excitement. Of course! Change her perspective! All she had to do is change Shizuka's perspective about Kaiba!

Rebecca quickly opened her top drawer, took her forbidden sandwich and ran like her life depended on it to the CEO's floor.

As Rebecca was running illegally in the hallway she suddenly felt a tense atmosphere coming from the employees. Rebecca stopped and stood behind a cubicle to listen in on what was going on.

"Aw, man…who would have thought…" Rebecca heard one man say.

"Yeah, I know, I wouldn't have ever expected him to be here…" whispered a woman. " He just came out of the blue, huh?"

"Wonder how Kaiba will react to all this…" said another man. What?! What in the world in going on? And how come Rebecca doesn't know about this?! Only one person in the building would have known, and would have told her….and that was Mokuba!

Damnit Mokuba!

Rebecca made her way into her supervisor's office, "Mo.." she began but Mokuba cut her off.

"Shh!" Mokuba whispered, he beckoned her over towards the door to the right of Mokuba's desk, which leads to Kaiba's office. Listen, he mouthed.

Rebecca did as she was told, and knelt down next to her boss and placed her ear on the door. "What's going on?" She whispered. I don't know! Mokuba mouthed again.

Rebecca had no choice, she had to listen. As Rebecca was straining to hear what was going on in the dragon's lair, she couldn't help but to think…Man, I can just picture how those workers from the 10th floor won't stop harassing me for the details!

Rebecca took out her forbidden sandwich and ripped a piece out.

Why do you have a sandwich?Mokuba mouthed at her. Because I'm HUNGRY! Rebecca mouthed back.

Meanwhile, in Kaiba's office, Kaiba intertwined his finger and placed them on his desk. His face, giving no emotion and his cold blue eyes, never leaving the unexpected guest he had sitting before him.

"Well, I can't say that this doesn't surprise me," Kaiba began, "But it has been six years…" Kaiba leaned back in his chair and smirked.

"Pegasus,"

The silver haired, eccentric millionaire smiled at the young CEO, "Indeed it has been a while, Kaiba-boy," he said.

"Just what in world in going on in there?!" Demanded an employee from the third floor.

Outside of Kaiba's office, Shizuka, who was standing in front of Kaiba's door protectively, shook her head nervously.

"What a sec, what do you mean Mr. Kaiba told us not to go in there?!" ask a worker from the 11th floor.

At this, Shizuka's lips trembled. It seems that everyone in the building had heard the news that Pegasus J. Crawford is having a meeting with Seto Kaiba and everyone wanted to know the juicy details as to what was going on. For you see, it's not really a secret that Pegasus and Kaiba detest each other.

"I see, we are to wait until Mr. Kaiba gives word, huh?" said a female employee from Mokuba's department.

Shizuka nodded, she was just going with the flow of what the angry crowd was saying. For some reason, despite the fact that Shizuka hasn't uttered a single word, people seem to get words that never came out of Shizuka's mouth.

Shizuka placed her arms down and sighed, she too was a bit curious as to why Pegasus is at Kaibacorp. Well, to be more precise, she was more worried about Kaiba. She hopes that Pegasus isn't causing her boss trouble. Even though Shizuka is afraid of her boss, she couldn't help but to feel a bit of concern when it comes to her superior.

"Miss. Kawai's right," said an employee, whom Shizuka has never seen in her life, "We should all just head back to our offices before Kaiba comes out and kicks our asses!" Shizuka has no idea where the crowd is getting this.

"But what about Pegasus?' asked a curious worker.

They all turned to state at Shizuka, and poor Shizuka blushed and looked nervously at the floor

"Good point, Miss. Kawai!" an employee, "What matters most is our jobs, not some lousy rumor!" Again, Shizuka had no idea where everyone is getting this.

"Wow, Miss Shizuka sure has a way with words!" said a female worker.

"Thanks for being on our side, Miss Kawai!" said another member.

And the crowd began to slowly leave on by one, Shizuka sighed. Her hazel eyes glanced at the door, as much as she was curious as to know what these two men were talking about, Shizuka knew it wasn't in her place to overhear their conversation.

So Shizuka took her seat back at her desk, but her eyes were glued to the door.

Back at Kaiba's office, Pegasus snapped his fingers, and the servant he brought with him, opened the suitcase he had with him, took out a bottle of Pegasus' favorite wine.

He took out to wine glasses and Pegasus smiled, "Would you like a drink as well, Kaiba-boy?" he offered.

Kaiba glared at him. Pegasus shrugged, "Ah well, more for me then," he nodded at his servant. The servant began to pour wine.

"I'm not playing one of your silly games, Pegasus," Kaiba said coldly, "I demand to what are you doing here, in my domain? Where you clearly do not belong?"

The servant gave Pegasus his wine, and Pegasus swirled it a bit before he took a drink, "I'm not here to play games with you, Kaiba-boy," he said, "I'm actually here on business,"

At this, Kaiba laughed, "And what makes you think I'll do any business with you?"

Now it was Pegasus' turn to laugh, "Because…whatever I have to say….is your business and it most definitely will interest you."

Kaiba narrowed his eyes, no matter what Pegasus says, he is pretty sure it won't interest him. He was sure Pegasus is just here to ruin his day, but there was just no way in hell Kaiba was going to let that happen.

"I'm dying," Pegasus said.

"What?" Kaiba said.

"You heard me," Pegasus said casually as he took another drink, "I'm dying and I only have two years left to live…according to my doctors…"

Dying? Seriously, is this the stunt Pegasus is planning to pull? Has he forgotten who he's talking to? Kaiba glared at him, making it clear to Pegasus that he's not falling for his crap.

Pegasus smiled, "I know you don't believe me, but it's true. I swear on my wife's grave that I'm telling the truth." He gave his glass to his servant. Kaiba only sat there, waiting for Pegasus to continue.

"I've been diagnosed with leukemia a few years back…I have been going through some therapies…but…it seems that my immune system just doesn't want to fight anymore…" at this Pegasus chuckled.

Cancer? Really? Pegasus is pulling the cancer card on Kaiba? Pegasus has really lost it.

"And I've already made my will," Pegasus continued, "And I just came by to tell you that you, Seto Kaiba…. Are on my will, because you will be my heir to my fortune," Pegasus snapped his fingers and the servant gave him back his wine. Pegasus took another drink, "You will own everything Kaiba-boy, my mansion, my money…even Industrial Illusions."

Kaiba slammed his hands on his desk, "And what makes you think I want your stupid company?!" Kaiba still hasn't forgotten how Pegasus took Mokuba's soul and not to mention his. It made no sense, Pegasus hates Kaiba, why would he want his enemy to inherit his company? Plus, didn't Pegasus adopted a few people? Why isn't he giving his fortune to them?

Pegasus, nodded, "See that's the thing, Kaiba-boy…I know you don't want it. Which is exactly why I'm giving it to you. You, Kaiba-boy, despite all your cold hearted attitude and egomaniac personality, you are not avaricious. You won't take advantage of my money."

"I would have given my fortune to my sons, but…ah, they just don't have what it takes to be in a business…plus, I know that with your company and mine…you will have it all."

Kaiba couldn't believe what he was hearing, Pegasus, Pegasus J. Crawford is practically giving Industrial Illusions to him? Kaiba couldn't believe it, no.., he will not believe it! there had to be some kind of catch.

It seems that the silver haired millionaire has read Kaiba's mind, for he chuckled, "Ah, but there is one catch…" he began.

A/N: Ohh! I wonder what in the world the conditions are going to be?! My oh my oh my! Please read and review!
