Jewels: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Note: Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you all for being so patient with my slow updates! I know it's hard to sit there and wait for a new chap to come out and I'm sorry for the delays.

"Can't the limo just take me back to the mansion?" I questioned Kaiba as the limo pulled in front of Kaiba Corp.

"No," he replied flatly, "My driver has to go pick up some business associates who are flying in from America and doesn't have time to drop you off, so you need to stay here and just cope with being here." He ushered me out of the limo and it drove off leaving me, following Kaiba into the tall building. "You can wait here…" he said pointing to a sofa that was in the waiting outside his office before looking at his secretary who was rushing around, "You!"

"Yes, Mr. Kaiba?" she asked, immediately looking at him.

"If she needs anything, get it for her," he said before heading down the hall to what I assumed was the conference room.

"Do you need anything Miss. McKinley?" the secretary asked, with a charming smile.

'With all the work she has to do, she does it with a big smile,' I thought looking at the piles of paperwork. "No, I'm fine thank you…" I replied.

I just stood there looking around the waiting room as the secretary went back to her work…answering and returning calls, faxing, copying, and scanning papers, and all the other essential business that a Kaiba Corp. secretary did.

After god knows how long of just standing there, probably looking like a complete idiot, I was finally snapped out of it…

DING

I looked over at the elevator door slid open and a tall, petite woman with long brown hair and blue eyes stepped out of the elevator.

"Miss Masaki…" the secretary said, stopping and looking at the woman, "What are you doing here?"

She went to say something but stopped when she saw me and turned towards me. "You must be who Seto chose to be his new pet…"

"Excuse me?" I said.

"You must be the one he chose…everyone knows about the competition," she said, "That includes his ex-girlfriend."

'She must be one of those ex-girlfriends he was talking about…it's just my luck that I would meet one of them right after that heated conversation, but whoever this Miss Masaki chick is, I don't like her,' I thought. "For your information he hasn't chosen anyone yet," I said, quickly trying to think up a lie, "I'm just here because I had personal business to attend to and asked to leave the mansion for the night."

"It's K.C. McKinley, correct?" she asked.

"Yes…" I replied.

"He'll never choose you…he may have showed you kindness by letting you leave his little competition for a night, he's a tough man to crack…and only a select few like myself are able to crack his shell," she said heading towards his office.

"Miss Masaki, you can't go in there," the secretary said.

"You didn't crack him enough for him to let you use him as a personal bank account," I stated.

She stopped and turned and looked at me, a scowl (surprisingly worse than Kaiba's) plastered on her face. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"I just know the type when I see her," I lied. Though in fact I did know the type, truth be told my last boyfriend who I thought I was in a serious relationship with, was just using me for money. I'm sure that now and again everyone with a large bank account has that one person in their lives that use them as a personal checkbook.

She went to say something but then seemed to look past me with a sweet smile. "Seto dear, how have you been?"

I looked over my shoulder and saw Kaiba. "I'm guessing this is one of your problems."

Kaiba gave a smirk, seeming amused by the fact that I was annoyed with Miss Masaki. "Yes…I believe the last time I saw her I told her to get out and stay the hell away from me."

"You didn't really mean that did you?" she questioned.

"Yes," he replied flatly.

Her eyes started to water and she ran towards the elevator.

"She always was a cry baby," he said, before looking at me, "Ready to head to the mansion?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," I replied.

-Mansion-

"Lovely…Miss Romance Novelist is back," Casey Lee commented sourly as I walked into the mansion, "Because of you, Akiko is gone."

"Akiko is gone because it was my choice to eliminate her," Kaiba said, "I didn't find her fit to continue any further…so you two are the finalists."

"You might as well send her home now Kaiba, she won't win against me," she said, before disappearing down a hallway.

"I don't know if I want to date a model again," he mumbled.

"Then why didn't you eliminate her?" I questioned.

He shrugged his shoulders. "She is very attractive…"

"Why do men always have to think with the wrong brain?" I questioned heading up the stairs.

-A Few Hours Later-

'I am so bored…' I thought leaving my bedroom and heading down the hall, hoping that maybe there would be something interesting to do.

"You!" I heard as I walked causing me to stop in my tracks and look for the voice only to see a hand sticking out of a room, "Come here!"

"Ummm Kaiba?" I questioned, slowly pushing open the door. I realized at that moment seeing the bed and the many clothes on it that were on it that I was in his room.

"I need a woman's opinion," he said.

"What could you possibly want my opinion about…WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HALF NAKED?!" I yelled, seeing him standing there in just a towel.

"Because I can't figure out what to wear!" he replied, "I have a business party tonight and one of the men who is going to be there is a man that I would like to do business with, but he is very picky…to work with him you have to not only be the part, but look it as well."

"Wear what you normally do," I said, wanting to get out of the room.

"It's not good enough," he said.

"Why not ask Casey Lee to help you…I say she's more qualified for this…" I said.

"I don't want to get jumped," he stated.

I looked him up and down. 'I'm tempted to jump him,' I thought, 'Who knew that a body that good looking was under those suits…oh good god, did I just think that?' I quickly looked away not wanting to be creepy just standing there staring at him. "Do you have a picture of this man?" He pointed to a file sitting on the bed and I opened it. "Hmmm…that's an Armani suit," I said before starting to look through Seto's clothes. I pulled out a black Armani suit, white shirt, and navy blue tie. "Wear this…"

He took the suit and headed into the bathroom and I quickly made my exit and headed downstairs to the living room.

'Oh my god that was horrible,' I thought, 'But Kaiba was…dare I say…hot.' I covered my face embarrassed by my own thoughts of Kaiba in the bedroom half naked. It wasn't the first time I had seen a man like that, but come on, this is Kaiba we're talking about.

"Well?" I heard Kaiba asked walking into the living room not to long later.

I looked over my hand and gave him the thumbs up. "You're dressed to impress."

"Good," he replied before turning and heading towards the door.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Jewels: I know it took me a long time to get this chapter out, but I started college and there's been a lot of other crap going on so I hope the chap was worth the wait, if it wasn't *sighs* I beg for forgiveness.
