DIZCLAIMER: nah, i ain't gonna eva own Yugioh let me tel ya why...cuz i won't be able to stand Kaiba's b*tch *ss attitude anyways...lol.

IT WAS MAI WHO GOT her the job. It was Mai who forced Shizuka to apply to work for Kaibacorp. It was Mai who came to the Jonouchi residence and 'borrowed' Shizuka for a couple of hours (which was a great surprise for Shizuka to find Mai at her doorstep since Mai isn't a morning person). She drove Shizuka to several places to get applications, when Mai saw the Kaibacorp building; Mai threw Shizuka in the building.

Yes, you've read right dear reader; Mai threw poor Shizuka into the Kaibacorp building, and left her there for two hours and did not return for her until she got an application. Poor Shizuka was terrified, although she did wanted a job, she didn't want to have a job at Kaibacorp in the first place.

Her main reason is this: Shizuka is absolutely terrified of Seto Kaiba.

Yes, she had spoken to him once at Battle City, when her friends and brother tried to convince the egomaniac, card game obsessed, man into finding her friend Bakura into a hospital. Shizuka, when it comes to helping a friend, she would do anything to help. Absolutely anything. She did what she didn't think she could do and that was to beg Kaiba to land the blimp. Of course, the CEO did not land the blimp, but somehow gave Bakura medical attention. Since then, Shizuka avoided his gaze as much as she pleased.

Luckily for her, as she was receiving an application from the receptionist, Mokuba, who was about to grab a bite to eat, immediately recognized her and started to offer her a job.

And when he offered her a job, Shizuka assumed that she would work under Mokuba. But…she was wrong, she ended up applying to be Kaiba's secretary.

A thing to know about Kaiba when you are working under him; he is strict and very, very high maintenance. As soon as she was hired, Kaiba did not make the poor girl rest. He had her go around to and fro; learning everything there is about Kaibacorp in one single day.

As her brother Jonouchi had always said, Shizuka seemed to inherit all the brains from the family and was able to learn about Kaibacorp in two days. Not only did she learn about Kaibacorp unknowingly, she learned something she least expected to know, and that was getting to know her boss.

And since she's come to know her boss, it didn't take long for Shizuka to realize that recently….her boss was hiding something. Kaiba was a serious man, who wasn't much of words, but he didn't need to say anything for Shizuka to realize this. It was his actions that spoke the loudest.

Kaiba, had become very silent for the last couple of weeks now. He would sometimes not let anyone in his office for most of the day, no matter who it was asking for his attention. Not even his brother, Mokuba, his VP and his own brother.

The only time he would do, is that exactly at 12 pm on the dot, he would call Shizuka by the office phone, and ask her to buy his lunch.

And now, Shizuka is even more surprised to find Kaiba….the FREAKING Seto Kaiba, standing by Shizuka's desk, arms crossed, waiting for her. Shizuka, who had just came back from picking up her and her boss's lunch, nearly dropped everything on the floor.

WHAT IN THE HECK DID SHE DO?! Shizuka couldn't help but wonder. Was she late? Is he going to fire her? Shizuka checked her watched, no, she came back exactly at 12:30 she wasn't late at all. But why was Kaiba standing at her desk? Did something happened while she was gone?

Shizuka inwardly groaned, she hoped it wasn't something serious. There had been an incident in which Shizuka or Kaiba took a lunch break, and didn't take their break until 8 o'clock in the evening.

Shizuka sighed, it's fine, she IS getting paid to work right? Might as well go on with it.

Shizuka approached her desk where her boss stood and asked, "Is something wrong, sir?" she asked.

Kaiba shook his head, "No," he said. Shizuka nodded, and began handing Kaiba his lunch, "Here's your food…and your drink. Ah, I took out all the sweeteners and placed it with mine, I hope you don't mind."

Kaiba shook his head, "No, that's fine," he replied….or more like grumbled. He took his lunch, and watched Shizuka take hers, Shizuka noticed that her boss was still standing behind her; she turned around, "Sir?"

Kaiba held out his free hand, and began to take Shizuka's food with him, "We're eating in my office," Kaiba explained.

He somehow managed to open his door and let Shizuka in first, and he followed suit. Despite what the cruel things people say about Kaiba, he can be a gentleman. He gestured for Shizuka to sit in front of his desk, while he took his usual seat.

He placed their orders on the desk and began to settle down to eat. Shizuka observed his desk, she was afraid of damaging the desk with their cold, soft drinks, but Kaiba didn't seem to care, he took a sip out of his drink and placed it on the desk. She also noticed that all that papers that had been stack or placed aside on his desk were gone, meaning Kaiba had moved it and left the desk clean and empty. AS if he had planned to do this.

Kaiba raised an eyebrow as he noticed his secretary not eating, "It's already paid." He said, "Just eat."

Shizuka nodded and began to take her food out of her bag, and glanced at Kaiba, who began to eat.

No matter what he boss said, she needed to know. What in the world is wrong with him? Shizuka needed to know, "Mr. Kaiba…" Shizuka tried again, "Is…is something wrong?"

Kaiba smirked, "Must there be something wrong to have you eat with me?" he asked.

Shizuka smiled, at her own silliness, and shook her head, "N-No, there shouldn't be." So there really isn't anything wrong. Satisfied with his odd answer, Shizuka began to eat.

While Shizuka ate, Kaiba stopped and began to watch her. His eyes narrowing suspiciously.

Shizuka noticed this and stopped, "Do you like it?" She asked. She figured Kaiba was hiding something since he gave her his peculiar response. She wasn't going to let him know that she knows that he's up to something.

Kaiba didn't respond, he continued to stare at Shizuka and said, "I don't normally ask this to anyone, but….do you know why I hired you?"

Shizuka stopped what she was doing and glanced up at Kaiba, who gave her a nasty grin, "Ah, I got your attention, didn't I?" he said amused.

Shizuka didn't say anything; Kaiba was acting stranger and stranger by the minute, no screw minutes-seconds! Just what in the world is wrong with this sadistic man?

Kaiba's evil grin widened as he saw the effect he was having on Shizuka, he leaned close towards Shizuka and whispered, "It's because you were afraid me,"

He stared into her hazel eyes and smiled, "I like that fear. It proves to me, how powerful I am. How superior I can be."

Shizuka, now curious about her boss strange reaction, abandoned her food and gave him a puzzled look.

"With that being said," Kaiba continued, "There's something I want you to do…"

MEANWHILE…

"You told him?" Yugi asked over the phone, "Wh-what did he say? How did he react?"

Mai, who was still at the food court, strummed her nail-polished fingers on the table, took a deep breath and said, "He just…" Mai blinked the tears away, "He said something strange."

"Like what?" Yugi asked, he took out a piece of paper and began to draw.

"H-He said…"Mai began. She didn't understand at all, what in the world did Jonouchi mean by this?

"Wait for him, and after nine months. The kid will be his," Mai replied.

"W-wait, wait, wait…NINE months?" Yugi said flabbergasted, "Why after nine months?"

Mai shook her head, "I-I have no idea, he didn't say. But-but he should have, right?"

This was indeed strange, especially since it's coming from Jonouchi, since Mai and Jonouchi are very close. Yugi was sure that Jonouchi would have done anything in his power to watch over Mai, especially now, since Mai is all alone and confused….and pregnant. Why after nine months?

Yugi wasn't a parent, nor does he have any idea about pregnancies or children, but he knew that during those nine months it's crucial for a mother to have all the support she needs for the unborn child. Yugi was stumped, he has no idea what was going on in Jonouchi's head, but he hoped, that Jonouchi had a very good reason to ask Mai to wait.

MEANWHILES…

"That's it?" Shizuka asked. Kaiba nodded.

Ever since Shizuka had begun working for Kaiba, she has never ONCE questioned him. If Kaiba had asked her to personally fax some papers to the Germany satellite company, despite the fact it wasn't her job, she would have done it. If Kaiba had asked her to go out and get him a cup of coffee while dressed up as a fairy, she would have done it. But now, for the first time, Shizuka glanced up at her boss and asked, "Why?"

Kaiba narrowed his eyes, "I don't think I have any reason to explain to you why," he said.

Shizuka nodded, of course, she should have expected Kaiba to say something along those lines.

Kaiba, who seemed satisfied that Shizuka will do what he says, decided to let he and Shizuka finished the rest of their lunch.

Wowsies! so many MORE MYSTERIES! teehee! this is fun! i wonder what in the HECK ish gonaa happen next? Eh? Eh? Anyways, read n' review! :)
