I stepped further into the room over to the two glass doors that led out onto a balcony. The door handles were intricately designed with what appeared to be a gold colored metal in the shape of woven vines. I grasped the handles firmly and yanked them open in a short, swift movement. I left the doors there to hang open as I breathed in the fresh air that had the faint scent of roses. I walked further out onto the balcony and glanced downward. Below the balcony was a in-ground pool that consisted of two separate parts, the first area was lima bean shape and stairs led down into the water gradually on the right hand side, the pool gaining depth about a third of the way into the water. The second portion was a circle that appeared to be a hot tub considering the steam that emanated from it. The circular portion was placed in the concave portion of the pool, and from it flowed water into the normal pool like a small waterfall. However, this pool was not a normal swimming pool, and not just, because the initials KC were visible from the bottom. The pool was made to look like a pond, surrounded by flat stones and plants. It was a very beautiful collaboration of water. The water was so clear it was completely transparent from top to bottom.

However, the pool was not the most impressive part of the back yard. In the far back appeared to be a maze, made out of tall hedges, it was in a spherical shape and the entrance was easily visible from the balcony as was the center. In the center there was an entrancing garden overflowing with white roses, decorated with flat stones, and spiraling pine bushes. Then, in the center of the garden was, yet again, another fountain with that same powerful looking dragon from before, spewing water from its mouth forcefully, and falling into a small handcrafted pond.

The rest of the backyard was surrounded in brick walls that had ivy and vines growing up them decoratively. White roses bloomed from some of these vines; these white roses decorated much of the backyard of the Kaiba mansion.

Once I finished examining in the garden view from my balcony, I walked back into my new room, leaving the doors to the balcony open top allow fresh air to continually flow into the room. As I went to unpack, I realized I had left my belongings downstairs by the closet, but as I turned to go fetch, them a man stood in the doorway holding all three of my bags in his hands. I rushed to take them from him and set them down near the closet, which I had yet to look in. I thanked the man as he rushed out of the room.

Turning to the bags I began, one by one placing them onto my new bed. Slowly I slid the zipper open and began placing my articles of clothing into the dresser drawers. Soon all of my clothes were unpacked, leaving only my blue dress with the white bow that needed to be hung in the closet. Opening the closet doors, I found a spacious walk-in closet. Thinking to myself 'who could possibly need this much closet space' I glanced around the room noticing a couch, a vanity, and a great deal of cabinets and drawers. The drawers I assumed were for jewelry and more clothing articles, if I possessed any jewelry and additional clothing, and the largest cabinet is where I found the hanger for my dress. I placed it on its hanger and hung it solely into the cupboard. Realizing I had probably put my clothes in the wrong spot, I fetched them from the drawers in the bedroom and placed them into their correct drawers in the closet. The drawers I had placed them in, in the bedroom had actually belonged to a nightstand. I had thought that that was meant to be my dresser due to my lack of wardrobe. However, apparently I had been mistaken.

After I rearranged my clothes into the correct drawer, I moved onto the third and final bag. In this bag were just a few nick-knacks and some writing stuff, such as a notebook, a pencil, a sharpener, and an eraser. The other belongings in that bag included a small desk lamp, an alarm clock, a few makeup utensils (an eyeliner pencil and a small thing of eye-shadow), a water bottle, three books (Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, the collected works of Edgar Allan Poe, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde), and finally, a small handheld mirror with a hairbrush that pops out of one end. These were all of the possessions I had while living with my father, and thankfully, I was able to bring them all with me. I placed these possessions in their proper places around my room and glanced at my clock for the time, however, to my dismay, the time read 88:88 in red numbers, blinking at a quick pace. Distraught by my inability to figure out what time it was, I left my room quietly.

Slowing moving down the hallway, unsure of where to find someone capable of telling me the time, I wandered around the halls for about 15 minutes. I heard a strange noise coming from one of the rooms near me and listened. Inside I heard the sound of harsh yells that I was unable to decipher because the walls, as well as the door, were so thick, and very close to sound proof. Had I not been listening so intently for a sound I probably would not have noticed the noise at all. Listening attentively near the door the harsh speaking behind the door appeared to have stopped. I took a chance a hesitantly knocked softly on the door. I waited a second before knocking once again, this time a little harder.

After a moment, I was too scared to knock even louder and began to turn away from the door and walk in the opposite direction when I heard the door open behind me.

"What do you want?" the owner of the harsh voice asked, obviously very irritated.

I turned abruptly only to come face to face with my future husband, Seto Kaiba. Nervously, I looked up at him. He stared at me callously and repeated his question; sounding even more irritated than the previous time, if that was possible.

"I-I'm sorry for interrupting you sir, um, I mean, uh, Seto? I um, was j-just wondering if you, um, could possibly, um, t-tell me the time? I stuttered fearing the man in front of me.

He stared at me for a second as if I was the biggest idiot in the world.

"Why the hell did you come all the way over here to ask me the time? Don't you know I'm busy?" He asked me angrily.

"Y-yes, I'm sorry, but I wasn't sure what time it was and I need to set the clock I brought from home to the correct time," I replied uneasily.

"Did it ever occur to you, to take a simple glance at your cell phone, they generally state the time on the screen you know," He answered back, talking to me as if I was completely dim-witted.

"I'm sorry, but I don't actually own a cell phone sir," I replied hoping this response would suffice for him telling me the time so I could get out of his presence and calm my nerves.

"You are so incompetent, its 1:36 pm, now get lost," he said angrily.

"Yes, of course, thank you very much Seto," I thanked him quickly then scurried off so I could release myself from his penetrating glare.

I scampered off, back to my room where I quickly set the clock to 1:38 pm to subjugate the time it took to get from the room I found Seto in, to the room he left to me.

I then sat at my desk, once again re-reading the contract I was subject to.
