QotM: Another update guys! Enjoy!

My lungs burned with the hunger for air and I could tell my face was become a sickly shade purple. I wildly grabbed at his hands, but his iron grip wouldn't budge. I whimpered, as I tried to get some oxygen into my system. Damn, why did I have to get myself in this situation? At this rate, it was all going to end.

"Let her go!" Joey shouted as he took a step towards me. "She has nothing to do with this!"

Joey started to rush over, but soon stopped in his tracks when his opponent, with a voice dripped with venom, threatened that if he helped me, my little (or shall I say big?) friend here would snap my neck if he got any closer

No it wasn't going to end like this. There was no way I was going to die playing the part of the "damsel in distress." No way.

So I bit him, with my mouth full of braces. Hard.

Remind me to never bite anyone again. Ever.

Because honestly, it tasted like wet dog

With a yelp, the rare hunter's hold around my neck was released and I fell to the floor, coughing and gasping for the oxygen I needed.

"Zara? Are you okay?! Wait never mind, don't answer that! Get outta here!" Joey yelled.

And for the second time in five minutes, I sprinted. However, this situation was less preferable because now, I had evil, crazy curtain wearing people were hot on my heel.

Adrenalin rushed through me as I pushed my body to the limit. Sweat dripped down my face like a water fountain and my throat from all the choking and exhaustion craved liquid. My heart beat rapidly, as my breaths came out coarsed and ragged.

Suddenly, as I was running, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me around another bend and clasped my mouth shut. I screamed, but it came out as a muffle.

"Be quiet would you?" Hissed a voice with a demanding tone.

My eyes grew as big as the moon, but I immediately nodded. Whoever this guy was, he certainly knew what he was doing.

We heard the rare hunters rush by, their cloaks ruffling in the wind behind them. My saviour's hand released his grasp on my lips and I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank the Lord. They were gone. But who were they anyway? And what did they want with Joey in the first place? Well if it wasn't for that dude I would've never gotten away from-

That man! Who was it?

I spun around quickly, to see the back of a silverly- white jacket, trailing behind was seemed to be a massive ego. He had chocolate brown hair, and had a tall, slim build.

I groaned. Oh no. Out of all of the people in the world, did I have to owe him?

Seto Kaiba.

"Ummm Seto…?"

"Kaiba" He turned his head sharply, his blue eye fixing upon me.

"Right, sorry, Kaiba" I said, a bit ruffled. "Joey, kinds needs our help back there. There like this evil dude like with these creepy eyes going all RAA RAA RAA over him in like a duel or something….so maybe we could I don't know, HELP HIM?!"

The wealthy CEO grunted. "That mutt again? Next time, I recommend keep him on a leash when you're taking him for a walk."

My mouth dropped open. I didn't really know how to respond to that. Well in a smart way anyway.

"What you say is what you are!" I childishly yelled to the back of the president as he strode away.

Man, was he annoying or what? Stupid rich people and their stupid inflated ego.

"Hey you!" I shouted once again. "If you don't mind, could you please show me the way out of this stupid maze, so I can at least get my cousin?"

Ignoring me, the pompous man continued walking.

That was it! Joey was in trouble, and this jerk was being irritating and difficult! What happened to morality? MY FRIEND NEEDS HELP, FOR PETE'S SAKE.

Growling, I ran up to Kaiba and with a cry, I jumped onto his back. Like Ha Jae Kyung did to Gu Jun Pyo...if you've guys watched that, anyway...

Caught by surprise, Kaiba stumbled a little, in surprise.

"What the hell?! What on earth are you doing?! Now you listen-"

"No poo face! You listen to me! Either you take me to my cousin's, or I'm gonna stay here all day!" I interrupted him indignantly.

Okay, so this might seem to be a weird way to repay back someone who's just helped you, but hello?! Desperate times call for desperate measures! What else was there to do?

Kaiba started to swing around in a frantic attempt to shake me off, but let me tell you, it was going to take more than that! I mean, I've used this method in other situations before, and it has never failed.

Ha Kaiba! In your face!

"Are you serious?" Kaiba scowled. "I only came here to do a final check up of the area before the tournament and now this happens? I have a company to run!"

"Oh boo hoo, watermelon head!" I snorted. "What's it gonna be? I'm not gonna let go, unless you take me there!"

Muttering incoherently, Kaiba nodded slightly.

Satisfied, I got down and dusted myself off, with a bright smile on my face.

"Lead the way Richie Rich."

The car (or should I say limo) ride to Tea's house was filled with silence. Kaiba was mumbling something to himself as his fingers danced in a blur as he rapidly typed away on his laptop, sealing business deals and checking on stock markets. Several times I tried to sneak a glance at what was on that blinking screen it is, but all those times he'd either turn his laptop away from my vision or give me an icy glare.

Seto Kaiba, in short, was not a happy chap, in the very least.

Couldn't this limo go any faster? Who knows what could've happened to Joey by now with those weirdos? I hope he isn't hurt.

Well, at least I had time to admire the limo. Grouchy and I were sitting on red velvet seats that when you sat on them, it felt like you were sinking into a cloud. Neon lights adorned the car and a gold plated coffee maker stood grandly in a corner. Ah! A source of hydration! My throat was still parched from all that running and strangling and what not. Also, I've never tried coffee before…so maybe now's my chance?

I shuffled towards the machine and inspected it. Man, that thing had a lot of buttons and options! There were a flurry of colours and unfamiliar symbols as well as words like Cappuccino, which I had heard of before, but had no idea what it really, truly meant.

Hesitantly, I snuck a glance at Kaiba, and then pushed a bunch of random commands.

I could feel the same Kaiba glare bring into my back, as I pressed the buttons. His pattern of typing changed, taking slight pauses in the middle of a few words.

Click, click, click, pause, click, click,click, pause

Oh great! He was looking at me! He was just waiting for a chance to pounce, point out my mistakes, and make me owe like a kidney or something.

The pressure!

Taking a chance, I went ahead in attempting to work the maker. Why wasn't the coffee coming out?!

In frustration, I slammed more buttons down and then sighed in defeat. Technology was so complicated!

Suddenly, I was pushed out of the way. Kaiba was at the machine, with an irritated look on his face (wait, he always looked like that…well, when he was around me, anyway) and pressed a button called "DONE"

Of course! How could I be so dense? "Done", as in "Finished" or "Start making Coffee!"

So dumb

"You're constant clicking was giving me a headache," glowered the brown haired male, as he passed me the drink, his blue eyes boring into mine. "Are you honestly that stupid?"

"Well I'm sorry to be such a bother" I huffed, scrunching my face into a frown, my cheeks burning up in embarrassment.

I snatched the coffee out of his hand. "…Thanks anyway."

With anticipation, I quickly gulped the liquid down.

…You know, how in cartoons, when someone consumes something disgusting their face turns green?

It happened to me.

And as soon as it went in, it came hurling out of my mouth

…onto a certain rich, CEO.

"HEY!" I said in annoyance as I was rudely, shoved out of the car, as soon as we pulled up at Tea's.

"This was a brand new jacket!" Seethed a dripping Kaiba. Brown stains covered his once perfect white jacket and his face was wet with coffee.

I could just see the smoke coming out of his ears and nostrils. I wouldn't be half surprised if he blew a gasket.

"I'm sorry, okay?! What do you want me to do?!"

"Don't ever talk to me…no look at me, ever AGAIN!"

And with that, he slammed the door in rage, and the limo sped away, into the distance.

Why was I so bad at making new friends?

Well, he was ill-mannered…but he did assist me in the end. Maybe, should've been nicer. Wrecking his attire didn't really help either

"Zara! Are you okay?!"

Tea came bursting out of the house, her face etched with a combination of concern and fury. "It's the early hours of the morning! Where have you been? I've been so worried!"

Breaking my gaze on the direction where the car had been, I turned to the girl nearly in hysterics.

"Cuz…we have a problem."

Hope you enjoyed! Review please!
