It began
with a fight.
Well,
actually with a disagreement.
Seto had
planned to take over an insurance agency by the name of Guntai*, not because he
was interested in it per se, but because he had set his eyes on one of their
daughter companies, Doutoku#, a tiny little business specializing in
built-to-fit hardware and state-of the-art holographic technology.
Just the
thing Seto needed for his new, advanced VR-Chamber he had perfected and waited
for so long to release.
Mokuba,
being vice-president, advised his brother to try to buy Doutoku off, since the
mother company�s financial situtation was hazardous at best, but the elder
Kaiba wouldn�t listen.
Why pick
out a single prey, if he could get the whole package for but a little more?
Katsuya
shook his head.
�Listen
Seto, I know I�m just an assisting technical consultant and have no say when it
comes to take-overs, but-I don�t think it�s wise to buy up the entire combo, I
mean, most of those companies-if you can call them that-are so broke, it�s only
a matter of days before they go bankrupt. Why invest in something that
will only cost you money and won�t bring you anything but trouble?�
The CEO
shook his head.
�Both you
and Mokuba pointed out the financial part of this deal, and though I agree with
you on that particular matter, the two of you lack the needed experience to see
past the numbers on the check. Its not their capital-or lack thereoff-I�m
after, but their connections.�
Azure eyes
trained on the blond.
�And,
believe me or not, when it comes to business, connections are everything.�
His husband
scowled.
�Yeah, that
may be, but still-�
�Katsuya, I
know you and Mokuba mean well, but I have been in this business twice as long
as the two of you put together. Besides, as you already so correctly pointed
out, you are merely a technical counselor. When it comes to the financial
aspects, your opinion is both unnecessary and, though welcome, meaningless.
Your job is to make sure that Doutoku has the needed requierements and
capacities to realize my project.�
Inhaling
sharply, the blond narrowed his eyes.
�Don�t you
dare use that tone with me, Seto. I am not your paperboy, but your husband,
and-�
�And you�re
my second Project Leader-in-Chief; I am your boss and the god-forsaken
president of this company, so don�t make me repeat myself!� roared Seto, as he
shot up from his chair and glared at Katsuya.
Minutes
passed, in which their only dialogue consisted of their heated stares, then the
blond squared his shoulders and replied coldy:
�Hai, Kaiba-san.�
It was a
tone the CEO had never heard his spouse use before, and for a moment, he was
too shocked to even move.
Warily, he
pushed back his seat, rounded it, brushed some imaginary dust from the headrest
and stacked some files which lay on the desk together, all the time shooting
Katsuya nervous glances.
Who didn�t
budge, but kept giving him that same, angry look.
Finally
Seto couldn�t bear the silence any longer and conceded:
�Tell you
what, you have until the actuall signing to bring me proof that fusing with
Guntai is-risky. If you can�t convince me otherwise, the contract will be
signed, nevermind your or Mokuba�s hesitation, wakarimashita?�
�Perfectly.�
Jou turned
to the door, but halfways there the brunet�s voice stopped him.
�By the
way, the meeting will be in twelve days.�
Whirling
around, Katsuya gaped at his outto.
�Twe-twelve
days? Seto, that�s not enough-�
Azure, cool
and indifferent, locked with incredulous gold.
�Twelve
days. Use them wisely, Katsuya.�
He watched
him from where he lay on their bed, then queried:
�And what
do you think you�re doing?�
Katsuya
merely shot him a dark look and continued stuffing clothes into his duffle bag.
Seto
huffed.
�Are you
still upset with me? I know, I was a tad bit harsh, but-�
�Tomorrow
is Sunday, and in case you happened to forget, I�m a student aswell as your
employee. Which means I have to be back on campus by Monday morning.�
Buttoning
up his shirt, he added:
�Don�t
bother bringing me to the station, I know the way by heart. And no, I won�t be
home next weekend either, since I will be too busy working on your
project.�
Giving a
mute groan, the brunet tilted his head beack.
�Koi, if
you would like to discuss this out-�
Katsuya
merely snorted.
�No, don�t
bother, you have made your point rather clear. Now if you�ll excuse me, my
train is leaving within the hour.�
The faint
click of the door closing behind the blond .
�-therefore
I am afraid I must decline this offer. Regarding their financial background,
Guntai Enterprises is, pardon my french, the savest way to bancrupcy. I am
certain, the council will understand that in this particular case I do not agree
with my brother, but would rather advise the comitee to reconsider their
decision.�
Kaiba
nodded, gritting his teeth secretly, and replied:
�Thank you
for your opinion, Mokuba. Though your disagreement saddens me, I must accept
your decision. Now, as my brother already pointed out��
Focusing on
the details, Seto couldn�t help but feel betrayed.
He knew
that Mokuba didn�t like him taking over Guntai Enterprises, but he wouldn�t
have dreamt that his otouto would stand up against him before the collective director�s
board.
And then
again, his heart swelled with pride, because he knew that by making his
disagreement official, Mokuba had won the entire comitee�s respect.
And his
aswell.
Three days
later, the phone in the Kaiba mansion rang and Mokuba hurried to get it.
�Moshi,
moshi?�
�Mokuba,
konban wa? O-genki desu ka?�
�Katsuya,
good evening! Ja, same old, ne. What about you?�
�Dito. So,
how is he fairing? I�m sure he�s driving everybody up the wall by now, ne? How
many people did he fire?�
�Sigh.
Seven.�
�Nani? In
one day?�
�No, this
whole week.�
�Hn, he�s
getting better then. Used to be up to a dozen before.�
�So desu,
you. Katsuya?�
�Hnn?�
�I-I miss
you.�
��I miss
you too, Mokuba.�
�Shouldn�t
we..tell him?�
�No, not
yet. He�s got enough on his hands as it is. Let�s wait until after this-debacle
is over, then we�ll tell him.�
�He�s going
to find out sooner or later anyway.�
�Shirimasu.
Kami, I hate going behind his back like this.�
�Me too.
Couldn�t we just-�
�No,
Mokuba, I�m sorry, but he has to learn that I�m not his property, and if this
is the only way to make him understand, then so be it.�
�I know,
it�s just, he�s my brother-�
�-and my
husband, but we can�t help it. We have to do this, and I can�t do it without
you. Do I have your full support?�
�-Yes. Yes,
Jounouchi Katsuya, you have my trust in this matter. Just..let me know what you
need and you will get it, asap.�
�..Arigatou,
Mokuba. Hey, do me a favor?�
�Which
one?�
�Take care.
Of both of you.�
�I will.
Suki desu.�
�Heh. I
love you too, Mokuba.�
Klick.
He waited,
until the tone reached his ear, then hung up the reciever.
Propping
his elbows on the desk, Seto buried his face in his hands.
There was
no more denying it.
Katsuya was
cheating on him.
And with
his younger brother, of all people.
Suddenly,
everything clicked into place; the fact that Mokuba had dared to defy him, his
outto�s recently cold shoulder�
How could
he not have seen the signs?
When had he
become so gullible, so..na�ve?
Broad
shoulders shook, lean body whacked by uncontrollable sobs, as the pain
overwhelmed him.
A single
driplet marred the otherwise perfectly polished surface of his desk.
����������������������������������������������������������
(Grins) Evil,
ain�t I? Don�t worry, I�m not going to break up their marriage just yet. >D
I�m sorry
for any typos or bad grammar I might have missed, try to ignore them as well as
you can�^^�
