"Yes, actually I do mind." Seto snarled, stepping closer to her.
She did nothing but take a step back, eying him as if trying to understand his sudden approach.
"You approached me the other day, speaking of a lawsuit your father filed against my comp-"
"No." She interrupted, staring at him. Her confidence seemed to have shot up, her eyes defying him. Kaiba raised his brow in surprise; just who did she think she was?
"I know what you want and I'm not going to do it. I tried approaching you nicely on more than one occasion that day and you did nothing but fire away as you always do. If my dad thinks he has a reason to sue you, then so be it." She continued, shrugging her shoulders indicating the matter was unimportant to her.
Kaiba drew himself up to his full height, walking closer until his face was but mere inches from hers, their lashes on the verge of becoming tangled. This time she didn't step back.
"I can tear your family apart; strip you of everything you own. I know secrets about your father you'd rather not know. I'd -"
"I'm not afraid of you." She interrupted again, which was really starting to get on the CEO's nerves.
A victorious smirk danced onto her lips, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. He realized how dangerously close he was and what impression it might give had someone else been watching, though the thought of it was a mockery to Kaiba, knowing he would never waste his time on something like her.
His eyes searched hers for even the slightest hint of rendition, finding none. She wanted him to get angry, but Kaiba wasn't going to grant her that win. He wasn't going to give her any more importance than she deserved, which in his world was less than none.
"You should be." He said in a low growl. He saw her smirk disappear as quick as it had appeared, her confidence partially shut down, yet her eyes screamed victory. He walked past her bumping into her shoulder as a sort of warning.
She stared after him observing the way his negative attitude just seemed to radiate from him. His steps were harsh and precise, like everything else about him.
His world seemed to spin backwards in an odd reality that contradicted that of the average person, thinking he could boss people around, making them do what he wanted. She was sure he was used to his demands being fulfilled without hesitation, but to her his threats were just empty promises, she had been honest, he didn't scare her. If anything the way he acted towards her only fueled her curiosity.
A sigh found its way out along with a furrowed brow. Her hand started turning the knob on her locker for the second time, appetite forgotten.
She wanted his attention, well now she had it.
He stormed out of the school, his icy blue eyes turning to fire. How dare she stand up to him like that? Did she not know who he was and what he was capable of?
His heartbeat was inhuman; he could almost feel it shattering his ribcage, bursting with rage. His eyes scanned the yard for something, anything to let his rage out on. Almost out of instinct, he kicked a nearby aluminum trash can spilling out its contents, letting out a frustrated roar that echoed the cry of the can.
His plan had failed in the most obvious of ways. How could he have been stupid enough to think she would just agree like that?
Why? Because that's how it worked, how it always had been. He barked orders and people obeyed.
Simple as that.
He felt something brewing inside him, knowing he was growing to hate her, hate her with all his being.
He hated the fact that she wasn't as obeying as the rest, that she seemed to show up in all the worst places of his life, but most of all the fact that he didn't intimidate her, his ego resented it like he never thought it could. The way her silver orbs danced with victory sickened him, rose the bile into his throat and gagged him.
She thought she could stand up to him, meaning she saw an entrance, something in him she wasn't afraid of that no one else saw. He couldn't let that happen, he had to show her just what he's capable of, even if she had to find out the hard way.
Two can play at this game.
Green eyes stood hidden in the trees, observing from a distance, taking in his every move. The way the suns gentle rays made his skin glow and his hair gleam of gold sparked in him a divine stance.
He was taking deep breaths, eyes shut, fists clenched.
A small smile grew on her lips, how she remembered his temper, his boiling blood. A cool breeze seemed to calm him, ease his breathing. Blue orbs searched his surroundings, disgust and despair mixed unto his features.
He was the love of her life, her reason of existence, until that ended, but her love for him lived on. Now it had all been reduced to watching from a distance, to being the unseen observer, though soon enough that would change.
Kaiba stood, eyes lost in the world outside when a boy charged into him in pursuit of a soccer ball, evoking roaring insults at the boy. The latter was laughing hysterically which only seemed to make the blue eyed teen madder and madder.
In a sudden act of fury his fist connected with the boy's face.
The yard seemed to freeze, eyes wide and jaws dropped. The blond stumbled back a couple of steps, shaken by the punch. Seconds later he threw himself at the CEO in a desperate wrestling match, the other teens rapidly crowding around. They were running about shouting for teachers or proclaiming their bets while the two teens threw spontaneous punches at each other.
Moments later a short gray haired man burst through the school doors with a group of teens following. He shoved and shouted his way through the circle of non relinquishing teens until he made his way to the center.
Struggling, he emerged with one teen in each hand, face red and lips swelled in anger. His short arms directed them into the direction of the door while he proceeded to yell at the rest of the mass.
The blond's uniform was covered in dirt as was his disheveled hair. He was panting heavily with a small stream of blood making its way down his lower lip, chocolate brown eyes seemingly shut off from the fire they held before.
In a contrary state, Kaiba's eyes were raging with fury, their flames fed by the heavy panting and bit lip that still held his anger. He seemed to be in pain, though trying to hide it.
The two disappeared into the building unknowingly followed by a curious blond.
