Chapter #7: No way. . . You're joking, right?

Seto walked into his office and slouched in his chair.

"Could this day get any worse," Seto groaned as he ran his fingers through his hair with frustration.

For the past 9 days, it's been totally hi-wire in KC because of the freaken bankruptcy.

Phone calls left and right, employers' doing their work wrong- making the problem even worse, newspaper and news channels banging on KC's doors, sales' dropping fast and even KaibaLand doesn't have as many customers as it once did.

The only thing that was keeping Seto from jumping out of his office window was his little brother, Mokuba, who he promised to protect always . . . and something else, which Seto was reluctant to believe.

"I don't know why that girl is always in my head, why won't she just leave me alone?" Seto asked with a sigh.

"Because maybe you like her," A voice in the back of his head answered bluntly.

"Okay, first of all, NO and second of all . . . who are you?" Seto inquired as he looked around his room.

"First of all, yes you do and second of all, I'm your conscience stupid," The voice said matter-of-factly while rolling its eyes.

Seto scowled at his conscience.

"Look you, I never asked you for answer so why don't you just go away and let me do my work," Seto stated angrily as he turned on his laptop.

"Sorry for the bad news, but I can't go away and for your answer . . . you're just to stubborn to admit you like that girl," the conscience laughed.

This was the first time that Seto felt something in his gut.

"I-DON'T-LIKE-HER! I mean, how could I? There are a million girls who would fall at my feet, begging for me to have them, but I don't like any of them so why would this girl be any different?" Seto laughed with triumph since he knew that he won the conversation.

"Because there is something about her that none of the other girls have," The conscience proclaimed as he thought the answer was totally obvious.

Seto was dumbfounded.

"H-Has something none of the other girls have? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Seto questioned with blush on his face.

"You know what I mean," The conscience slyly replied with a little evil laugh.

"No I don't," Seto shouted back while turning beet red.

"Yes you do!" The conscience teased.

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

This argument went on for an hour and a half.

"Mr. Kaiba, Mr. Kaiba!" Roland exclaimed as he rushed into Seto's office.

Seto was completely oblivious to what had just happened since his face was glued to his laptop screen.

"Um . . . Mr. Kaiba?" Roland asked as he took a cautious step forward.

"What is it, Roland?" Seto inquired through clenched teeth while his eyes were still on his laptop.

"Well, Roger is on the phone with great news," Roland replied with a big smile.

"Roger . . . great news . . .," Seto muttered to himself as he glanced up at Roland.

Last time Roger called, he told Kaiba that his company was bankrupt. So if Roger was calling to say his company was going to be shut down and Roland thought that was great news . . . then Seto thought that he had gone completely mental.

However, Seto doesn't like to show weakness so he would take the call anyway. But, if Roger mentioned the word "shut" or "down", he would hang up the phone.

"Fine, put him on," Seto stated with a hint of foreboding in his voice.

"Yes, sir," Roland proclaimed as he did a saluted and then walked out of his office.

It was at least 5 minutes until one of the lines on Seto's work phone was blinking.

"What do you want, Roger?" Seto questioned coldly as he took his hands off his laptop ad started to drum them on the desk.

"OH! Great news, sir, great news. You might even give me a raise," Roger answered excitedly.

"I doubt it . . . well . . . why did you call me?" Seto asked as he sighed with frustration.

"To tell you . . . that . . . Kaiba Corporation . . . is . . . not . . . BANKRUPT!" Roger yelled with happiness like a 3 year old.

Seto's eyes narrowed as he pulled the phone away from his ear and stared at it.

"This had better not be a joke, Roger, or you might as well start packing you bags and leaving your office NOW!" Seto shouted into the phone.

"I'm not, sir. Trust me. Just go to the KC file for "Management of Money" and you will see that everything if perfectly fine . . . well, some things are low since everyone thought KC WAS bankrupt but otherwise we are GREAT!" Roger said with a rather shaky voice.

As Seto was going to the file, he was saying to Roger, "Roger, you had better not . . ." but then, Seto stopped talking. His mouth was hanging slightly open while his eyes were wide with shock as Seto stared at the laptop screen. All the graphs, charts, or just the regular money numbers in general were all medium high and green as ever.

Seto couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's all okay . . . all the money is okay . . . even with the trouble we have had this week, everything is all right . . . well, we are low in some ways but not so low . . . wait a minute."

"What was this whole bankruptcy business if everything is okay then?" Seto asked but with a hint of happiness in his voice.

"It was actually my fault, sir," Roger proclaimed while shaking his head in shame on the other side of the line. "When I kept on checking back to the money file, I never noticed a red light flashing from the bottom of the screen. When I did look down at it, the button read "ERROR" so then I clicked one it and everything was okay," Roger stated triumphantly.

"So, it was just a glitch with the computer," Seto said while playing with the phone cord.

"Yes, sir," Roger answered back with embarrassment.

For the first time, Seto couldn't help himself from smiling.

His big worry about losing his company was finally over. Seto could now have a good night sleep since this problem wasn't resting on his shoulders anymore.

"Could you hold on for a minute, Roger?" Seto asked, it was actually a rhetorical question since Seto put down the phone and pressed three numbers for the speakers around the KC building.

"Okay everyone, listen up," Seto began as his voice booming all round KC, "I want everyone to drop what their doing and call up every newspaper; news channel in the world and inform them that KC is back in action. Also tell them that our new dueling disk will be coming out in late January. I want EVERYONE to do this right now! OH! And Roland, please call Mokuba and tell him the news."

With that, Seto's voice stopped echoing throughout the building.

Within seconds, Seto could hear chairs and feet moving around like crazy through KC.

"Well, Roger, for once I actually thank you for the great news," Seto grinned as he put his ear back next to the phone.

"You're very welcome, sir," Roger exclaimed though, he sounded as if he wanted to say something else but was to shy too.

Seto, however, caught this.

"Oh . . . Roger, about that raise . . .," Seto started to say.

"YES, YES," Roger stated, his excitement getting the better of him.

"IN YOUR DREAMS!" Seto laughed as he hung up the phone.

"Man, I have a feeling this is going to be one great day," Seto smiled and turned around in his seat and looked out of his window.

He looked down at his watch and saw that it said 11:54 AM so Seto decided to himself, "You know, I think I'm going to go on a walk for some lunch."

And so, Seto turned off his laptop, got out of his seat and headed out of his office. However, before he went into one of the elevators, Seto changed into a buttoned up white shirt and black suit pants so that no one would stare and point as he pasted them.

Little did he know that his buttoned up shirt was soon going to lose a button.
