Celeste's POV
Chapter 1: Mind Games
Kill what you wish for
It can only bring you down
Keep your spirit on the ground
Emptiness is the only sound
I know what it takes to break you
And I kill everything that made you
I know what it takes to break you down
I huffed as I stepped into the elevator of Kounichi Corp, heading to the top floor. My legs ached, My hair had begun to fall out of its hold on the back of my head, and I wanted to go home. I DID NOT want to deal with that egotistical bastard Seto Kaiba. My company had been Kaiba Corp's leading competitor for many years now, and when we moved our company headquarters across the street from his, it just made matters worse. I really don't see how he is so threatened by us though, we don't even sell the same things as his company, unless of course he has started selling women's clothing underneath my nose. I highly doubt it.
I stepped out of the elevator and felt a shiver go through my body. I watched through the meeting room window as Kaiba sat lazily in his chair like a king, his blazing blue eyes focused on one of his corporate lapdogs. I took a deep breath and turned to walk down the hallway. I gasped as I felt a burning feeling on my breasts and jumped back. My eyes widened to see my blouse, now doused in a brown smudge of coffee.
I heard stuttering as my eyes met one of my assistants, who was looking very nervous at the moment. "I-I-I d-didn't s-see you Ms. Kounichi, I-I..........." I sighed as I looked down at my blouse. I wasn't in the mood for this. "That's alright." I said as I huffed and walked on.
I took a deep breath as I put on a serious mask and opened the door to the meeting room. I slightly smiled at my partner, but the smile faded as I realized his four partners well outnumbered my own. I put back on a forced smile as I shook hand with all of his partners. Then I reached the Dragon himself. He sat there, one leg crossed over the other, his chestnut hair falling around his face, his eyes boring into mine. I stuck out a trembling hand to shake his. He just stared at my hand and smirked as he leaned his head on his fist. I tossed him a dirty look and took my seat.
Kaiba folded his hands in his lap and looked at me suspiciously. "I was under the impression I would be meeting with your mother instead, Miss Kounichi."
"She has other matters to attend to." I said biting my lip, "But I am the manager also. We have shared power." I quickly added.
Kaiba just sat there and raised an eyebrow.
"Now gentlemen, what is this "matter" you wish to discuss?" I said, carrying on the conversation.
"Don't play dumb, Ms. Kounichi, You know what I'm here for. The same thing I've been negotiating for the past few months." He said, the smirk still playing upon his face.
My face darkened. "Then obviously you already know the answer." I snapped.
He chuckled lightly, "I think you'll change your mind after you've heard my proposal." He stood up casually walking around the room, in all his glory.
"As you know, we have had several meetings with you in an attempt to gain a portion, if not all, of your company."
I gave a disgusted snort, "You mean you have been placing empty threats."
"This one won't be so empty, Kounichi. Let us get right down to the point, If you do not turn over Kounichi Corporation to us within the next month, I will be forced to run your company directly into the ground, and toss all of your current employees, including yourself, out onto the street."
I laughed, "Seto Kaiba, you are more of an idiot than I thought you were." His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenching. "I hope you realize that my company's worth, money-wise, is much higher than your company could make in ten years. And besides that matter, why on earth would you wish to purchase a company that sells women's clothing? Is there something your not telling me, Mr. Kaiba?" I smiled innocently at him.
"Don't bring your childish humor into a business meeting that is about to render you helpless to me." I sat up in my seat and raised my eyebrow, confused.
He continued, "Yes, you are correct in saying that your company is a bit more money powerful than my own. Obviously the women of Domino aren't thinking with their heads."
"Or maybe they just don't want to buy some silly card game's accessories from a corporate sleezeball like you."
"If you were to play duel monsters, you would realize that it is far from a game."
"If you weren't such a womanizer, Kaiba, you would realize that a woman's clothing represents a part of herself." I shot back.
"Clearly." Kaiba's gaze fell to my chest, and I was reminded of the brown coffee stain covering the majority of it. His partners snickered rudely at me. I crossed my arms, humiliated and angry. "So now that you've realized I'm not just some dumb blonde Kaiba, why don't you tell me just how you plan to destroy me?"
"Very well. I may not have accumulated as many funds as your company in the past few years, but I certainly have a sizable amount, enough to, if you will, bribe someone." My partner and I exchanged confused glances.
"You see, the Domino City Health Commision has the power to shut down a business completely within the time span of two days if they find the business is breaking one of the health codes. Almost every business in Domino is breaking one of these codes, seeing as how there are so many. So, the commision tends to ignore these little mistakes since everyone breaks them anyway." He walked over towards me. "Unless of course, someone brings it to their attention. There are certain ways to "persuade" the commision to shut down your business on the spot, Ms. Kounichi." He leant against the wall lazily staring at me.
I felt my hand shake in anger. "Well what if I fix all of the health codes I'm breaking? What then?"
"When the business is reported for breaking the codes, the value of the company goes down. Down to Kaiba Corp's price range. While your scurrying around to fix them, I'll be buying your company." I dug my fingernails into my hands and sucked in breath. A big grin spread across his face. He knew he'd won.
"Why do you insist on trying to ruin me Kaiba? Jesus, do you just hate me for no reason, is it because I'm doing better than you??? What is it?" I said in a low voice. All my patience was gone, and he was lucky I had no sharp objects. I felt a blush spread across my face as Kaiba towered above me, overpowering.
"A little of both, actually."
That was it. I snapped.
I grabbed the front of his navy blue coat and brought him down to my eye level. He didn't even look shaken. "Listen Kaiba, I can't beleive that you have that much ice surrounding your heart to fire every single one of these hard-working people." I glared at him. He snarled and grabbed my wrist, unlatching it from his coat. But he didn't let go of my wrist. I looked at his partners, and they didn't seem fazed either. Obviously they had seen Kaiba strike up this kind of a fight before. I didn't have to look at my partner to guess she was just scared stiff.
"I'm paid to think, not feel." He growled at me, "But if you hand over the company now, I'll keep all of your employees. And if your a good girl, I might even let you be my assistant." I tried to wriggle out of his grip, but it was no use. I looked into his eyes fiercely. We were like two wildcats facing off in the jungle.
"For a person who hates Gozaburo with a passion, your well on your way to becoming him."
Now it was his turn to snap.
He looked at me like he couldn't believe I would actually say that. His business associates all gave me a glare, and my smirk dropped off my face. I turned reluctantly back to Kaiba, I knew I said the wrong thing. A whimper escaped my lips as he crushed my wrist within his hand. He grabbed my other wrist and slammed me against the table, making everyone, including me, jump. I could feel the corner of the table digging into the small of my back as I winced. Goddamn you Kaiba.
His strong cologne filled the air as I tried to catch my breath, the warm liquid seeped out of my back wound from pressure of the table corner. He brought his mouth right down to my ear, I could feel his breath on my neck, making me shiver.
"Celeste Kounichi, you little bitch. All you had to do when you were little was run to daddy for money, you have no idea the monster Gozaburo was. I. Will. Never. Be. Like. Him."
He slowly backed off me, still holding my gaze in his. My breathing was coming in ragged gasps as I regained a stony mask and straightened up. Kaiba and his group gave me on last glare and walked out, my eyes following him the whole way. Before Kaiba closed the door, he turned to me.
"You have until tomorrow to make your decision." And with that he slammed the door. I closed my eyes and let out the air I'd been holding as I put a hand to my head, massaging my forehead. My partner scurried to her feet and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Are you alright, Ms. Kounichi???" She asked carefully. I clenched my fists as I looked at her, "I can handle that bastard, make no mistake about that." I walked to my office, shaking with rage.
I picked up the phone and punched down on the numbers to my secretary. A cheery voice greeted me on the other line, "Good Morning, Ms. Kounichi, What can I do for you today?"
"I'm taking the day off, Kai. Can you get the limo?"
"Um...No, I'm sorry."
"Why the hell not?" I said impaitiently, grinding my teeth together.
"Your mother is using it at the moment." I silently cursed and slammed my fist on my desk.
"B-but I can see if we can get another one for you, Miss."
"That's alright, I'll just take the bus." I slammed down the phone and walked briskly down the stairs to the bus stop. Whatever Seto Kaiba thinks he can do to my family's company, he is dead wrong. I know there has to be some way to stop him, and I'll find it.
I was not getting lost inside Seto Kaiba's mind games. Not for one second.
