Chapter Nine - A Mechanical Heart
"And this is my new and improved duel disk." Seto handed Ren the silver and black duel disk. She examined it with eyes opened wide. So far every single invention Seto had show her that day had caught her eye in some way or another.
"Wow, it looks a lot smaller then the first ones."
"That's because it's more advanced." Seto took the duel disk from her at it back in it's case.
"So where are those virtual pods Mokuba was telling me about?" Seto looked away and walked into another room. Ren followed and found herself in a room filled with six pods. "Whoa!" She ran up to one and looked inside. "How does the game work exactly?"
"It basically puts you in a virtual world where you can see, touch, hear, and smell everything in the game."
"And what is exactly the quest of this game?"
"To get through all the levels without running out of life points." Seto noticed Ren's blank stare. "It's like playing duel monsters. You use a deck and destroy several monsters in the game to get to different levels."
"Oh I see. Wow, could I play it some time?" Seto looked at her with a cold stare.
"These are very delicate prototypes, however, I do have three that are ready to be used. Maybe some time, if and when I have time I'll allow you to try out the game, just to get a second opinion."
"Okay then." Ren said slowly. "So are there any other inventions I can look at?"
"Maybe later, it's getting late and I need to head back to my office." Seto said as he looked at the clock on the wall.
"But it's only it's only ten in the morning." Ren said with an annoyed voice. Seto, ignoring her reply, walked out of the virtual pod room and headed towards the exit of the building. "Hey wait Seto!"
"I don't know why you insist on helping me at my office, you'd be better off buying shoes at the mall." Seto said as he looked at Ren. Ren frowned and sighed aloud.
"You seem a little stressed lately and I thought maybe I could help you out." The elevator door opened to the fifteenth floor where Seto's office was located.
"Ha, stressed. And like you could help me," Seto walked into his office with a smug look on his face. "Just stick to the basics Ren."
"Hey Seto, just because I said I could help you doesn't mean I would anyways. It was just an offer." Ren said as he turned to face her.
"Well aren't you the helpful one." He said with a grin.
"Seto, I'm not joking around!"
"Neither am I. Look if you're here to work just do your part. I have a stack of signed notes I need sent out tomorrow. You know what to do so why don't you help me out by getting busy."
walked to the table where the notes were and took them with her to the couch she normally sat in. "Seto."
"What." He said in a cold voice.
"Thank you for showing me your inventions. I know it may not have seemed like it a big deal to you, but I enjoyed it."
"Well I'm glad you like my inventions. I take great pride in each and every one of them and build them with care."
"Oh and I love them all. Such clever designs and great technology." Seto gave a faint smile from his desk where he was working at his computer. "I only hope that some day I can learn how to use technology as well as you do and design idea and stuff for games." Seto smiled at Ren and gazed at her for the longest time. Never had he known someone to be into technology as much as she was. Even if she had rejected her fathers technology company she seemed to have a certain forte for wanting to be around technology. Seto just about asked Ren why and how she had gotten into technology when a loud buzzing noise suddenly came from his speaker system.
"Roland, what is it?! This had better be important!" Seto said angrily though the machine.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kaiba, but you seem to have a meeting with some people in less then five minutes. They'll be waiting for you in the conference room until you are ready to show up."
"Good. Tell them to get here as fast as possible, I wont be long." Seto immediately ended the conversation and got his briefcase to head towards the door.
"Who do you have a meeting with?" Ren asked curiously. Seto opened the door and held it open before giving his response.
"Some guy want's to form an alliance with my company. I'm only going to be there to tell them it'll never happen. I won't be very long." Seto walked out and left Ren looking at the door with a confused look on her face. Who was this guy anyways? And why did he want to form an alliance with Seto?
decided she wouldn't just sit ideally by and decided to spy on who exactly these guys were.
took an elevator to the a floor where Seto held his meetings and walked out into the hallway, taking care not to be seen by anyone who may pass by. She knew that if Seto found out she was snooping he'd get so made who knew what might happen. But still, with great caution, Ren attempted to get closed to the main meeting room down the hall.
"I told you two I'm not going to form an alliance with your company and that's final!" Seto angrily punched his fist at the table as he stood up from his chair.
"Mr. Kaiba, please if you'll just reconsider -
"No Frank! I've heard your piece and as far as I'm concerned as long as I'm running this company we will never form an alliance with your company! Now get out before I call security!"
two men got up from there seats and headed towards the door. "Very well Mr. Kaiba." Frank said just before he departed. And then under his breath added. "But you will find that soon Kaiba Corp will indeed form an alliance with my company and then it will be mine."
they walked out Ren peered out of the plant she was hiding behind. She could see a tall, broad man with brown hair and another guy who seemed younger, but looked a lot like the older man. Ren gasped, but quiet enough as to not draw attention. It was Brian! Brian Foully! But what was him and whoever that was doing here forming an alliance with Seto? And had they succeeded in their quest?
ran up to Seto's office making sure to take the emergency stairs so she'd get the his office with some time. She'd need it in order to call her father.
"Dad." Ren spoke loud and clear into the telephone in Seto's office. She knew she'd only have a little time to talk and wanted to get everything out to her dad before Seto returned. "Is Brian still working at your company?"
"Yes Ren. Why? Is something wrong?" Her father's voice showed signs of concern.
"No, I just wanted to know. Is he working there right now?" Ren asked quickly.
"No. Him and his father went on a business meeting." He father said calmly. Her heart seemed to almost stop. It was Brian. "His father owns a technology reproducing industry. His father formed an alliance with me and that's how Brian became apart of my company."
"Oh, I didn't know you knew him that well."
"Well I didn't really know him, I only knew his father. That's why I had him come over for dinner."
"Hmm, well I-
's heart rate quickened as she heard foot steps just outside the door. "Dad, I'll talk to you later."
door swung open and revealed Seto clenching his brief case firmly as he looked towards his desk where Ren stood leaning by the phone. Her heart rate quickened as he began walking towards her with a dim and cold hearted look on his face.
"What were you doing?" Seto asked as he set his brief case by his desk and looked at Ren. Her eyes showing great fear as he drew neared to her.
"I'm...sorry Seto. I ...was only....trying to call my dad." Seto gave a grin and kept his glance on the frightened girl. Ren watched as he pulled his chair out of his desk and stood near it. What was he doing?
"Take a seat." He said aloud. Ren immediately obeyed and sat. "Now, what was it you were calling your father about? I know you were snooping, my cameras caught it on tape."
"I'm sorry Seto," Ren began. Seto only turned away. He looked out the window, giving a long and heavy sigh.
"I suppose your wondering what went on in there. With so many companies wanting to form alliances with my company it's hard to know which ones are the right ones to be allies to. That's why it makes it easier for me to have as little allies as possible." Ren looked back from where she sat and saw him, looking out at the city. "Your father says there a good company to work with, but something, somehow tells me otherwise. Your father, however formed an alliance with them. I don't know if you know -
"Yeah I did. Actually, one of the guys who is apart of that company is someone I know."
"Who? Frank?"
"No, the other one. Brian." Ren turned back to the view of the desk and sat back in the chair. "He was so nice to me when I met him. I know that his fathers company can't be all that bad."
"Really. You knew him." Seto looked at Ren who was still leaning back in the chair.
"Yeah. He worked for my father as a scientist." Ren sighed as she thought of the memories of Brian.
"Ren. There is something I wasn't able to ask you before I was called out to the meeting."
"Ask me what?" Ren stiffened in her chair and was no longer relaxed.
"How is it that you got into technology, and why are you so interested in it?"
"Well it's only obvious that since my father has a technology center I'd have the interest in technology. I wanted to know everything about them. But my father almost never let me go to his work or see the new inventions his scientists had made, and that's why I never learned how to make stuff." Ren sighed and then continued. "So I began reading a lot. And that's how I got into writing. Then when I found out about duel monsters I began practicing that. I was so into the game that I thought it might be cool to come up with my own game or even just help people to make machinery for there game ideas."
"But that still doesn't make much since. Why would you not want to be a president of a technology company?"
"Because if I were to become the president I would not only be able to go to college to study technology, but I'd also cut from most of my time of being an author. Besides, the job my dad has isn't very fun at all compared to being a technologist scientist and an author. I'll just leave the company to Noah."
"Hmm." Ren could tell Seto was contemplating what she had just said. But what exactly was he thinking?
"And this is my new and improved duel disk." Seto handed Ren the silver and black duel disk. She examined it with eyes opened wide. So far every single invention Seto had show her that day had caught her eye in some way or another.
"Wow, it looks a lot smaller then the first ones."
