THE UNFORGIVEN
CHAPTER 3- End of Hope
***Begin Flashback***
--------------------------------------
'They dedicate their lives
To running all of his'
---------------------
"But, Mister Kaiba, surely you would agree that the best way to gain more interest in the company and our games would be to do the spot for the magazine."
Kaiba resisted, just barely, the urge to grind his teeth together. "I will not be selling my dignity by posing for those stupid 'Teen' magazines. I do not see how that would further the profits of KaibaCorp at all." He stated for the fifth time, placing an emphasis on the 'Kaiba' of KaibaCorp.
His employees did not seem to get the point though. He was currently at a board meeting with the 'Big Five' and the editor of one of those accursed magazines. Because he was only fifteen, he was not yet old enough to claim the full company for himself. Soon though---
Yet for now, the editor claimed that she wanted to do a piece on the current world champion of duel monsters. Kaiba thoroughly rejected the idea. He refused to answer their private questions. Let alone pose in only leather pants, as they wished him to.
"It will be good for company relations." One of the vultures spoke. Kaiba shook his head firmly, and he sighed, "Very well. We shall vote. Those in favor?" All but Kaiba rose their hands. "All against?" Kaiba only stood slowly and stormed out of the room, clearly pissed. He did manage to hear the man's words. "Don't mind him. He has to do it now."
Seto merely shook his head, sharply and angrily. They were right. If a decision, no matter how trivial, went to the board to vote it was their word made into stone.
Kaiba could almost feel a different part of himself think, *I need more control. It's not enough. It will never be enough, but they'll see. I will have the power one day---*
--------------------------------------
'He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is.'
---------------------
"It is just a rumor, he did not really defeat you, did he?" They asked him.
"It is true." He stated simply, wondering how the vultures were able to reach him when he was in seclusion.
"A young boy out of no where? Named Yugi no less." Kaiba could practically feel the sneer in the man's voice.
"Yes."
"Do you have any idea how bad this will reflect for us?"
"I am well aware of the ramifications of my loss, yes." Kaiba said. He knew losing the duel had a terrible affect. Not only upon reflection to the company, but he also felt---empty. As though a part of himself had been extracted.
"And what do you plan to do about it?"
"What can I do?" Seto snapped into the cell phone. "If you have some great and mighty solution for how this can all end well, I am open to suggestions."
"I am so glad you finally asked. You have a few options. You could sell your company to a better man and duelist, perhaps Mast---Mister Pegasus. Or, you could come back, apologize, and let us handle all business, and investments and you just invent. Or, you could prove your superior talents and just beat the kid, or just---take care of him---"
Kaiba swiftly hung up and turned off his phone. *I just---I just can't do that. Oh, I'll beat Yugi, or whoever it was I was dueling, but I will not do anything else to harm him. Bastards---*
--------------------------------------
'Throughou t his life the same
He's battled constantly.
This fight he cannot win'
---------------------
"Looks like you loose, Kaiba-boy." Pegasus smiled in an extremely disturbing way at the broken man.
He fought. He battled. He tried as hard as he could, calling upon all his skill and nerve, but he still lost. What's more, he should never have been proclaimed the winner over Yugi. That was not a fair duel. But it did not matter anymore. Yugi was in the castle anyway. And Kaiba, Kaiba had lost. Again.
He turned to face his current tormentor, who was looking at him again. Yet, Kaiba's eyes were unfocused, so he took no notice. He whispered to himself, "I'm sorry Mokuba, I have failed you." He never meant for his brother to become involved or hurt by his company. The one he loved hurt by his only passion in life. *Ironic* He thought, not listening to the surrounding conversation.
If he had, he would have noticed that the ancient pharaoh had once again taken over for his hikari. He was now speaking, "Pegasus, do not take him away. We shall duel for the fate of Kaiba now. If I lose, I shall take his place!"
Pegasus continued to leer at Kaiba. "A tempting offer, Yugi-boy, but I shall have to decline. I wish to posses, and fully conquer this one, and this one only. Besides, that would not be fair to the others who wish to duel me too---" With that, he took out an empty soul-card, "In you go Kaiba-boy." He said, licking his lips, his eye glittering with light.
--------------------------------------
'A tired man they see, no longer cares.
The old man then prepares to die.
Regretfully, that old man here is me'
---------------------
"Do you know why I have brought you out of your card?" Pegasus questioned Seto Kaiba.
Kaiba shook his head, obviously still groggy from his release from the Shadow Realm. Not that he really believed that was where he was. He did not know what to believe anymore.
He was slowly regaining his senses. First, he noticed he was lying on a soft bed, one with what felt like silk sheets. They were deep red. He sat up quickly.
Next he noticed the room he was in. Elaborately decorated, as though its owner was extravagant. Expensive carpeting---Large detailed paintings--- Dim lighting--- A large and detailed desk---
It was then he finally noticed Pegasus. Pegasus, who was seated in a large chair in front of the desk. He was holding a glass of wine and studying his captive. Kaiba shivered.
It was then that he finally noticed he was wearing only his boxers. His very thin, and silky, slinky blue boxers, which were a little too small for his---figure.
The question, again. "Do you, Kaiba-boy?"
Kaiba glanced at the door. Then at Pegasus. *Surely it is locked. And, even if it isn't, he would have his guards on me in seconds if he wished---* Kaiba took a breathe. "No, I can't say that I do."
"You lie." Pegasus stated and stood from the chair. Kaiba visible flinched. Pegasus smiled lustfully. "You know perfectly well why I have you here. There is only one reason I would ever bring anyone to my room, in my bed, dressed as you are."
"Really? And I thought that we were going to have another duel, or discuss political strategies." Kaiba said, still just stalling.
Pegasus came closer, smirking and Kaiba backed away until he hit the headboard. "As much of a pleasure it is, Kaiba-boy, to reveal in your wonderful mind, there are other parts of you which also require---attention."
Kaiba swallowed and spoke as powerfully as he could, taking in account the circumstances and his body felt strangely heavy and weak, "So, that is to be it then, Pegasus? You are going to rape me?" Kaiba glared at the older man, "Know that if you so much as touch me, I WILL kill you." Seto resisted the urge to flinch at his own words, remembering the death of his 'father'.
Pegasus, however, frowned. "Oh, don't think of it that way." He sat on the right hand side of the bed, Kaiba on the far left. Lucky for him the bed is king-size--- "How about we make---a deal?"
Kaiba looked at him coldly. "A deal!? You take my brothers soul, and then my own," *I think that is what that was*, "And then bring me back here to rape me, and you want to make a deal!?" Kaiba was now near hysterics.
"I admit it was wrong to take your brother to get you, but that is the only way I could be certain you would come." Kaiba snorted, but Pegasus continued, "At any rate, what is done is done. But, if we make love together, as in consensual, as often as I like, then I will not only release Mokuba, but I will also crush this Yugi and make him pay for defeating you. I will do it publicly, the whole world will watch Yugi fall and fail. And then know he is nothing."
Kaiba looked incredulously up at Pegasus. "Why the hell do you think I would ever even trust you to keep your word if I agreed?!"
Pegasus spoke softly, "Because, you really have no other choice. Yugi cannot defeat me. And then I will have all the power in the world. And you and your brother will both still be in cards." He paused then looked Kaiba in the eye, "And, I know that one night I will feel the pull. The undeniable, overpowering lust for you. I will have you, Seto Kaiba. Now or later, rape or no. But, I will have you."
Kaiba looked straight ahead, not moving. Portraying no emotion. But, inside, he was dying. *He---He is right. The situation is hopeless. Yugi is an excellent duelist, but not even Yugi can beat him, the way he cheats. I will be a slave to him either way, no matter what. But, at least Mokuba will be free. It will kill me inside, but it does not matter. I am already dead inside, no? That is what that one girl, Anzu I think it was, is that not what she said? And she was right. All I have left now is Mokuba. And I can, and WILL save him.*
Slowly, Kaiba turned to look at Pegasus, his eyes holding a look of surrender. Kaiba heard Pegasus gasp, either in joy or arousal, he didn't know, nor care. He nodded just slightly, "Save my brother, Pegasus. Save Mokuba and I will do anything you ask." Pegasus nodded and started crawling toward Seto. Kaiba worked hard not to pull back. "But," he stopped the older man, who was half a foot away from him, "You must not humiliate Yugi. Duel him, but do not air it. There is no need for the world to know."
Pegasus nodded, and Kaiba removed his hand. Pegasus settled himself on top of Kaiba's slim hips. Grinding himself into his 'lover', Pegasus whispered, "But why, Kaiba-boy?"
Kaiba closed his eyes, thinking of the powerful voice, of the kind face, of the smooth skin and supple lips of the duelist Yugi, and responded, "You have your reasons, Pegasus, I have mine."
"Touché Kaiba-boy, Touché."
***End Flashback***
--------------------------------------
'What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven'
---------------------
I open my eyes fully again, not caring that they are very wet. The combination of my tiredness, the memory and the climax of the song--- It was just too much. I moan to myself, closing my eyes again, forcing myself to have another flashback while the end of the song played out.
*No, that is not the end---I must go to the end---*
--------------------------------------
'You label me.
I label you
So I dub thee unforgiven---'
