For starters I want to thank you all for your well wishes and support. It's taking me awhile to get back on my feet and even longer to write. I've run into a family problem right after I finished all the stories I have. I'll be slowly editing everything and uploading as I go.
This story is the first of three that I wrote while I was getting back on my feet. I have a long story, a oneshot and this story which should have been a oneshot that turned into a medium sized story. I hope everyone likes this story.
I am dedicating these three stories to all of you. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter One
Being openly gay was the worst decision of my life, but I don't think I'd ever regret it. There is a lot to lose and a lot to gain with that one simple thing. I lost all but one of my friends, but I gain a sense of security. I no longer had to pretend that the hot girl with giant boobs walking down the street showing everything to the world was enough to drive my hormones crazy. I could openly say she's ugly, but the man attached to her arm stirs my fantasies. I would love to drive into him until he screamed for mercy. I like my freedom but miss my friends and not being ridiculed every time someone that I know sees me.
My last year of high school was the worst. I decided that one day I had enough of living a lie and announced that I was gay. Honda and Anzu left immediately, and I thought for a time that Yugi would too even though he dressed liked a gay man with all that tight leather. He stuck with me even though it was more trouble than it was worth. Everyone thought he was my boyfriend and would constantly start fights with both of us. We won many battles. Surprisingly, Yugi was able to hold his own. The little guy was able to fight nearly as well as me by the end of high school.
Shortly after making my announcement to the whole school, my father found out about me being gay. He tossed me out not before landing me in the ER for several days. I seriously wondered if he was attempting to kill me, or if he wanted to knock some sense into me. Which ever it was, it didn't work. Yugi took me in shortly after and him and his grandfather accepted me. That's all I could ever ask for, however, like I said, being openly gay wasn't easy. People stopped coming to the game shop and sales decreased dramatically. I could easily blame it on the economy if not for the constant notes stating that I should repent hanging on the windows each morning.
When Yugi finally became hormonal, that's when I decided that it would be easier for the both of them if I moved out. I found my own apartment and a job working as an assistant to the CEO of Ryu Records. I broke ties with Yugi completely and his business was able to recover. I was pleased to know that they were able to get back on their feet. I know Yugi never wanted to leave my side, but I told him there was no other way. Life sounded like it was looking up, right? What if I told you the only reason I got this job was because my boss enjoys fucking me every day. Terrible huh? Not for me. I get paid enough money to keep a house over my head and food in my stomach. My hormones are always satisfied. My story doesn't sound so bad anymore, right? Well that's not the point to this whole story. I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party, pleading for your tears. I have shed plenty of them to satisfy myself. And every single one of them was for the man that refused to acknowledge me in high school and doesn't even know I am this close to him.
If I move myself right, I could see him staring out the window on days that it looks like he's had enough. I find myself silently hoping that he could see me, not that he would recognize me anyway. My hair is shorter and tamed. I usually wear business suits much like him and never those torn clothes I used to wear. I lean back in my chair and looked up at the window. There he was again, staring at who knows what. The infamous CEO of Kaiba Corp., Kaiba Seto. He is the reason for this story. I would give up everything I had for just one night with him. He made my blood boil and filled all my wet dreams with images of his sexy body. I would love to lick every inch of his hot body, suck on his thick dick and fuck him hard over and over again through the night until the morning sun rose or even ride him until I was raw.
I lick my lips, feeling my trousers tighten. I placed my hands on the desk to avoid touching myself in my office. I groaned and tried to focus on work. Yes, work. I do know how to do my job and just because my boss fucks me doesn't mean I can't do the work he wants me to do. No one in this building believed I could do anything other than lie underneath the CEO with my legs spread wide. Their jealous of course. Half of them wanted to fuck me and the other half wanted to be in my position being fucked by their boss. I slid back in my leather chair and stared at the computer screen. There wasn't much work left for me to do, and I still have all day to finish it.
I looked up just as my door opened, revealing the man I despise. "Hey, fag, the boss is calling you. Hope your hole is loose enough. He had a difficult meeting." I ignored him. It was easier than responding to him. I tried several times to prove to him that I was more than a fuck toy, but he will never treat me with respect. I took one last look up at Kaiba before getting up from my chair. I wondered what he did after a stressful meeting.
I sighed and locked my door before moving through the hallways until I reached the room labeled Ryu Hiro, CEO. I wasn't in the mood to be fucked by him today, but I knew if I didn't go to him when he summoned me, then I would risk losing my job or making Ryu in a worst mood. I opened the door to the shaded room. The blinds were drawn and the lights were off. I was grabbed by my tie and pulled into the room before the door was slammed shut. "Clothes off now," he ordered me.
Another sigh passed my lips as I carefully removed my clothes. I knew like always that the door was locked and the cameras were off. He never wanted the press to know that he was gay. Though everyone in the building knew he was, they had no proof and never will. He pushed me against the wall before I could get my boxers fully down. "Fuck," I growled. Yuri was right when he said he Ryu was in a bad mood. It was lucky that we just fucked the day before but it was still painful. I bit my lip, unable to do anything but brace myself against the wall. He finished quickly without a care for me. He got dressed and left me alone.
I've never had this horrible of experience with him before. I grunted and slid down to my knees. I dipped my fingers into my sore hole and frowned. Blood. I felt sore and pain radiated from inside of me, but I didn't know he did a lot of damage at that time. I reached for my clothes and pulled them on, not caring to retie my tie or tuck my shirt in. Wiping my hands on my slacks, I carefully moved out of the room. Each step caused a fire to erupt inside. I stopped several times to catch my breath, unable to comprehend the amount of damage he did. I was still in denial.
I was exhausted by the time I reach my office. I tried to sit in my chair, but the pain was too much. I knew that if this kept getting worse, I would have to go to the hospital. What would I tell them? My boss and I have sex every now and then, but today he used me as a stress reliever, not caring about my own comfort. I reached into my desk drawer and took one of the pain relievers that I received from the hospital the last time someone picked a fight with me. I swallowed it without water and started for the door. I knew by the time I got home, the pill whould kick in. Hopefully it'll help me sleep.
The elevator ride down was easy and empty. Apparently everyone left early and the elevator moved quickly to the lobby. Each step was painful, but I kept the hope of lying down on my soft bed in my mind. I kept going over my route to home in my mind. Go outside and wait for the bus, ride it until it gets me several blocks from home and lastly up three flights of stairs to my apartment. I could do it. I just needed to accomplish one thing at a time. The pain and the medication were starting to clash with each other by the time I reached the bus stop. The world seemed darker than usual. I don't remember anything about the journey home. It was completely erased from my mind. Even though I learned later what happened, I still can't recall anything.
The next time I became clearly aware of my surrounds, I was lying face down on my mattress. I lifted myself carefully up, sighing in relief that there wasn't much pain. It turned out that I wouldn't have to make an excuse to go to the hospital. I looked down at myself, noticing that I was wearing different clothes and even looked and smelled clean. I pressed my hand against my head. Did I really shower and change my clothes before going to bed? How did I even get home? I remember not being stable on my feet while waiting for the bus, but that was it.
I looked over at the clock and gasped. I was going to be late for work. Moving quickly about my room, I grabbed the first suit from my closet. I managed to get to work with only one minute to spare. The soreness in my backside changed to pain. I took another pill and decided to first finish my paperwork from yesterday before starting on another day's work. I decided that sitting in my office working all day sounded appealing. Even ordering take out for lunch was in my plans. The only thing that wasn't in my plans was my door slamming open.
My boss stormed over to my desk and slammed his fist into my face. The momentum caused me to fall out of my chair, and the chair to roll backwards until it hit the window. I struggled to recover and looked up at the man who usually treated me better than that. "You betrayed me!" he shouted. "I told you that no one gets proof of us together."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
He threw a newspaper at me. "Then explain that."
I unfolded the paper and saw a picture of me and Ryu on the front page under a headline that said "Secret Love Affair." I stared in disbelief. That was impossible. I knew for a fact that I didn't say anything and that Ryu's office was always camera free. "I didn't say anything to anyone."
"Read it."
I frowned and glanced back down at the newspaper. "DNA evidence of rape? I don't understand. I went directly home afterwards. You were a little rough yesterday, but I know I didn't go to the hospital. The pain is still there, but it's not enough to put me in the hospital."
He walked over to me and kicked me in the head. He pressed his foot on my neck. I gasped for breath and wrapped my hand around his foot. I pulled his foot until he lost his balance and landed on his back. I got up quickly and used the desk to separate us. "I don't know how they got DNA evidence, but I swear to you that it wasn't from me. I woke up in my apartment this morning and there were no signs that I was in the hospital."
"Stop lying to me."
"Go to my apartment and check yourself. There is nothing there that shows I was in the hospital. The clothes that I was wearing are in my hamper."
"I'll go there and you'll have the press there in minutes. How much are you getting for setting me up?"
"I'm not setting you up." This didn't make any sense to me. It would explain why I didn't remember making it home last night, but if I was in the hospital, I would have woken there. Nothing was making any sense. Ryu didn't calm with anything I told him. He believed that I was the one responsible.
Ryu launched at me, but I side-stepped him and started for the door. Now it didn't make any difference if I kept this job or not. He was going to kill me with the way he was acting. I was just about to open the door when it flew open. Several tall people dressed in black suits surrounded me. They pushed me behind them and turned to face Ryu. "Who are you?" he shouted.
"They work for me," a smooth deep voice spoke. My jaw dropped. Kaiba Seto. I couldn't believe that he was here.
"Kaiba. What are you doing here?"
"You shouldn't abuse people that work for you."
"This has nothing to do with you."
"This particular thing does not, but the lost man you slept with and nearly killed does. He was my little brother's best friend. A little young for you if you ask me, but it was consensual, and he was over the legal age. When you found someone more of interest to you, you tried to get rid of him. Bad move on your part. Did you tell Jounouchi-san that you've done this before to hide you secret obsession?"
"It was you. You plotted against me and struck a deal with him."
"Unfortunately he had nothing to do with this." Kaiba turned to me and looked at me. His beautiful blue eyes bore into me. "I didn't know you were going after Jounouchi-san until I found him swaying on his feet at the bus stop outside. He was too out of it to understand what was happening. You did a lot of damage to him, and he might have died if I didn't find him. So, who's your new love interest now?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The man that gave me my job didn't give it to me because I could do it. He was always after a quick fuck. I growled. I never wanted to hurt someone so badly before. Kaiba glanced back at me with something deep inside of his eyes. Was it worry? Did Kaiba feel something other than satisfaction of getting revenge? "Take Jounouchi-san up to my office and call my private doctor. I'll be up in a minute." A few of the men that separated me from Kaiba and Ryu motioned for me to follow. I took one last look at the two in the room before walking out.
I groaned and stopped directly outside forgetting about the wounds all over my body. One of the men gently placed his hand on my back. "Can you walk? I can get a wheelchair."
I shook my head. "I'll walk." There was no way I was going to be escorted out of my building by Kaiba's private security in a wheelchair. I straightened my back and continued down the hallway to the elevator. I leaned against the elevator while the same guard took out his cellphone and called what I assumed was the doctor. I looked up to him. "I know you."
"Isono. I'm Kaiba-sama's chief of security."
"Why didn't you stay? Ryu is acting strange today."
"Kaiba-sama has three other people to protect him. Don't worry about him. I'm more concerned about you. You can barely stand up."
I moved away from the back of the elevator just as it stopped on the first floor. "I'll be fine." I moved through the lobby, avoiding the questioning gaze of all the employees. We crossed the street and entered into the lobby of Kaiba Corp. where a wheelchair was waiting. I glared at it.
"Now that we are in the safety of Kaiba Corp. you don't have anything to prove. Kaiba-sama wasn't lying about you being severely hurt yesterday. Please sit."
I sighed and sat down, feeling pain shooting up my spine. He was right. I didn't have anything to prove to these people and my legs could barely hold me up. Isono pushed me into the elevator while the other two guards remained at the doors. The elevator ride was much faster up to the top floor than at my job. When the elevator doors opened, there was a tall man with graying black hair dressed in a long white lab coat.
"Thank you for coming so quickly," Isono said.
"I didn't want to be too far away. I was just downstairs. I have the medical table set up in Kaiba-sama's office."
The older security guard pushed me into the large office. I was in shocked by what I saw. It was bigger than Ryu's office and decorated in light blues and whites. Kaiba's large desk sat in the back of the room and looked like he hasn't even touched it today. The medical table sat against the wall furthest from the door and the window. Isono pushed me close to the table and looked up at the doctor. "Do you need my help?"
"Not this time. He's conscious."
Isono nodded before leaving the room. A medical gown was thrown at me before I could question. I blushed and stared at it. This was a very strange place to be examined. The doctor looked back at me. "Don't worry. There are no cameras working, and you are hidden from view of both the door and the windows. Please put that on so I can examine you."
"What if Kaiba walks in on us?"
"He'll wait outside like he did yesterday."
I nodded and carefully pulled myself out of the wheelchair. I took everything off and placed the gown on me. The doctor helped me tie it together behind me. He lifted the sheet up and I crawled underneath it. The doctor took my temperature and blood pressure. "Do you remember anything about last night?"
"No."
"That's understandable. You were in and out of consciousness. Kaiba-sama, saw you standing outside by the bus stop. He said that a bus came and you never got one it. He approached you to ask if you were okay. He says you were very daze and didn't answer him. He managed to get you home and called me. I found signs of rape or very rough sex. Kaiba-sama says that he's been hearing rumors that you and Ryu may be in a relationship. He did a lot of damage to you. Can you tell me what happened?"
I sighed and looked up at him. It couldn't get any worse than what the newspaper published. "Ryu and I have been in a relationship since before I started working for him. He usually treats me with respect and goes easy but yesterday I heard he had a very stressful meeting and wanted to see me. We usually have sex once or twice a week always in his office. He was pushy and didn't even prepare me. I knew he did something, but I didn't think it was enough to hurt me badly. I thought my body would still be stretched from the last time and all he did was tear me slightly."
"The tears were deep and still bleeding by the time I got to you. Do you mind if I take a look? I want to make sure he didn't reopen the wounds"
I nodded, glad that he asked me first before moving the sheets off his legs. "It wasn't rape," I told him. "As much as I want to hurt his reputation I don't want to lie about anything. We met in a gay bar about two months before I started working there. He was good to me and treated me with respect. He gave me that job, telling me that it wasn't just because we were in a relationship, but after I started working, we no longer slept together at his house." I hissed as his finger moved inside of me. He apologized to me and instructed me to relax. I took several breaths before continuing my story. "I know Kaiba isn't usually wrong about things, but I'm hoping he is this time. I don't want to be the fool."
The doctor removed his finger and placed the sheet back down. "From what I heard Kaiba-sama saying, you won't be considered a fool. Ryu-sama has tricked nearly twenty people already." He reached down to his bag and pulled out a cold compress. "Twenty minutes on, twenty minutes off." I moved my hand up to hold it against my cheek while he ran his fingers along my abdomen. "Besides the bruise on your cheek and the soreness in your backside, does anything else hurt?" I shook my head. "Okay, there wasn't anymore damage done to your rectum."
I sighed and placed my head against the pillow. Fatigue was washing over me. "Why didn't you tell me or leave a note that said you treated me?"
The doctor frowned and gave a heavy sigh. "Kaiba-sama was supposed to come to your apartment before you woke up and talk to you. I thought you would be sleeping until at least ten this morning. I gave you enough medication to ease your suffering for several hours. Your drug tolerance must be high. I never thought you would wake that early. You can get dress again and lie back down on the bed. Do you want any pain relievers?"
I got off the bed and pulled my clothes back on, being careful with how I moved. "I had some in my desk, but I'm guessing I won't be allowed back in there."
"I'll give you a few right now and write you a prescription just in case Kaiba-sama doesn't have your personal items collected." The doctor handed me a bottle of water and two pills. "Those may make you drowsy. Don't fight it. You can sleep on that bed for as long as you need."
After taking the pills, I placed the cold compress on my check and lied back down. The doctor shut the light off that was directly over me. I found myself fall asleep quickly. The stress of the last two days was enough to make me tired. I thought about just closing my eyes for a second until Kaiba came into the room, but my body had other things and mind. I fell deeply asleep.
When I awoke, I heard whispers. "Did his wounds reopen?"
"No. I apologize for guessing wrong, Kaiba-sama."
"Don't apologize. I knew that he was stubborn and never missed a day of work since he started. I got my security and stormed his building as soon as I saw him in his office."
"Were you visiting Taki with Mokuba this morning?" There was silence and I was tempted to open my eyes and turned to the voices but curiosity got the best of me. I figured Taki was one of Ryu's victims. "How is he doing?"
"Still in a coma. Mokuba is still with him. I found a video that caught the hit and run. I got a clear view of the vehicle but not the driver yet."
"At least that's something. It proves that Ryu didn't destroy all the evidence. I think you need to speak to Jounouchi-san when he wakes."
"I plan on it," I heard Kaiba say before feeling my body wanting to sleep more and falling back asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke again, I didn't hear anything. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling better than I felt this morning. I eased myself up surprised that there was only a slight sting in my lower back. I turned and had a shock of my life. There sitting behind his desk was Kaiba with his head down sleeping. I swung my legs around and gently got off the bed. I walked over to the desk and stood in front of it, but Kaiba didn't even budge. I felt sorry for him. He must be spending a lot of time with Mokuba's friend on top of running his company. I sat down in the chair and watched him for a few seconds. I hated waking him, but I wanted answers to the numerous questions. "Kaiba?" I spoke softly.
He squeezed his eyes before slowly blinking them open. "Jounouchi," he mumbled. "Did you need something?"
"Answers."
Kaiba stretched and ran his hands over his face. "Ryu is a horrible person that I'm sorry you had to meet." He paused for a second. "I didn't even know what type of person he was until Mokuba told me that his best friend, Taki, got a job working for him before I was able to hire him. He had just graduated from high school and chose not to go to college. I kept the position opened for a couple months just incase Taki didn't want to work for Ryu, but Taki told me he didn't want to work in the same company as his best friend. He didn't want it to seem like his relationship with Mokuba gave him special treatment. I should have investigated Ryu like I did with everyone else that came close to my family."
Kaiba seemed different from what I remembered him. There was true regret in his voice. "Mokuba came to me after a few months telling me that he thought something was wrong with Taki. He seemed more distant and spent a lot of time in Ryu's office. We didn't get a chance to talk to him before his accident as it's called now. One night, we received a phone call from Taki's mother telling us that he was involved in a hit and run accident. She was in tears telling us that the doctor wasn't hopeful. I quickly got his doctor changed over to one of mine. They found signs of rape or now I know it could have been rough sex. While Mokuba was visiting Taki, I would investigate Ryu. I found out that his personal assistant changed almost every year sometimes more than once a year. I didn't think anything about it because I knew how hard it is to find a personal assistant that you could trust. I noticed that each of his assistants were involved in an accident that severely hurt them, some died and some had to be put in a psychiatric ward. Taki was the first that didn't die in the hospital, but he remains in a coma instead."
I was shocked by what I was hearing. This man that I worked for was a psychopathic. He manipulated people into believing that he was a wonderful person and even treated them with respect. Then when he was tired of them, he would get rid of them. "He was going to do the same to me."
"I believe last night you were supposed to get in an accident, but I found you first."
I held my hand over my chest, feeling my heart beating rapidly. "My boss was going to kill me. He tricked me this entire time. I fucking believed him!" I shouted. "He told me that he loved me and didn't want to do anything to risk our lives being harder so he wanted to keep our relationship secret. I thought my luck was turning around. I thought I was finally getting something that would make me happy." Tears threatened to fall, but I stopped talking to hold them in. Kaiba didn't say anything at first and just watched me with a frown. The sorrow and regret in his eyes made it even harder not to cry.
"I should have told you sooner, but I didn't know for certain that he was killing people or that someone else in his company was doing it out of jealousy and wanted your position."
"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have been naive enough to believe that he wanted nothing more than a hole to fuck."
Kaiba frowned. It was odd seeing emotions on his face. "You never had a relationship that was just for love, have you?"
I looked up at him. I couldn't believe he figured that out just by looking at me or what I said. I moved my gaze to the floor debating on whether I should tell him the truth or not. I sighed, knowing that he hasn't lied to me. "I've haven't had many relationships. The first one I had was with someone that wasn't even gay. He had a bet with his friends that he could get me to trust him enough to sleep with him. The second one was a one night stand and the third one was Ryu."
"Your first one, was it when you were still in high school?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Those assholes," he growled. I blinked at his anger and looked back at him. It was like he was taking it personally.
"Don't take it personally. You were hardly there during the last semester of our high school year. You couldn't have known."
"I warned them to stay away from you."
"What?"
"They came to me because they knew I didn't like you back then. They thought I would want in on the bet. I told them that if they did anything to hurt you that I would hunt them down and do worse." He turned to his computer and started typing.
I gasped and walked around the desk, taking his hands off the keyboard. "It's all in the past. Leave them be."
"I don't think so." He pulled his hands out of mine and returned to typing.
I growled and pulled his hands away again. "If you think I did nothing, you don't know me very well. They told me the truth the night before graduation, and I kicked all their asses right after the ceremony."
Kaiba wrapped his fingers around my wrists and pulled me until I fell into his lap. Stunned, I stared into his deep blue eyes. He placed his hand against my cheek. "Are you satisfied with what you did? I could do worse."
"Leave them be. I've gotten my revenge on them."
"As long as you are satisfied," he whispered. I found myself falling in love with his low, soft voice. I tried to hide my shivers. "What would you like me to do to Ryu?"
"Give all the evidence you have and let the courts have him. Let the families of his victims do what they wish."
"What about you?"
"He didn't hurt me enough to cause permanent damage. I just want to find a job quickly."
"You have a job."
"Not after word gets out about Ryu. His business would be shut down and everyone would lose their jobs."
"I'm giving you one here."
I frowned, not feeling uncomfortable in his arms and not willing to move. "I don't want a job just because you feel guilty."
"I wanted to hire you as soon as you graduated like Taki, but you kept ignoring my letters."
I looked at him and blushed. "So that's what they were about." I laughed nervously.
Kaiba chuckled and ran his fingers through my hair. The soft fingers caused me to fall in a trance. I found myself slowly drawing closer to him. I wanted to taste him, to feel his lips against mine. I closed my eyes and was few centimeters from his lips before I shook my head and backed away. I stood beside him with a heavy sigh. "I don't want to be the boss' whore anymore."
"I never said you were or had to be. I'm offering you a job that you qualify for."
I shook my head. "Years ago I would love to cause you trouble, but you've changed. You've saved me from suffering more than I already did and more likely saved my life. Once everyone hears that Ryu had a relationship with me everyone will think I just got my job because I let him sleep with me. A lot of things will come out, and I don't want to bring your name into it."
Kaiba reached for my hand, and I let him pull me back towards him. "I don't plan on abandoning you so easily. You didn't deserve what was done to you, and you don't deserve what the media will do to you. I am going to help you through everything, and everyone will know that I hired you because you are qualified to be my assistant."
"Why do you want to get involved?"
"I'm already involved because of Mokuba's best friend. Will you let me help you?"
I sighed. "Fine."
"Will you be my assistant?"
I hesitated. I knew it's going to look bad moving from one CEO to the other, but if they looked at all the work I did for Ryu, I was more than qualified for the job. "Do you have cameras in your office?"
"Of course."
"Are they off?"
"No, I turned them off temporarily while the doctor treated your wounds but turned them back on after he left. I figured you wouldn't care if it recorded you resting after your attack."
I blushed. "It recorded me sitting on your lap."
"I could easily say I was checking your wound. It wouldn't be a lie."
I pulled my hand away from him and walked on the other side of his desk. Sitting in the chair, I rolled it up to his desk. "If you are offering me a job, then I should be on this side of the desk."
Kaiba moved slightly and opened the drawer to his right. He pulled out a large stack of papers. Ryu had a stack of papers when I joined that but it wasn't that large. He chuckled at my expression and separated the papers into three stacks. "There are a lot of responsibilities to being my assistant. I know you can handle all of it. This stack here is a list of all the responsibilities. The top copy is for you to keep and the bottom if for you to sign. This stack is your benefits and your employee manual. Again the top copy you keep and the bottom you sign. Finally the last stack is your contract and the consequences to breaking it and reasons that you can break the contract early with no consequences." He leaned down and pulled up a black briefcase. "You can stay here and read them, but I have a few meetings to attend to tonight and then I'm picking Mokuba up from the hospital. Or, you can take that home with you and bring them back when you are done. If there is anything you dispute, circle it and we can renegotiate. Let me know when you would like to meet again." He placed the stacks of papers in the briefcase and laid his business card on top.
"What about Ryu?"
"I'll let you know what it going on or the police will get in contact with you personally. They'll need to get your statement in a few days. They know you were hurt and being treated by my doctor."
"What if they ask me questions about you?"
"Tell them the truth. I was within my right to rescue someone I saw being abused."
I nodded and took the briefcase before moving over to where I could see a box of my personal items. I picked it up and felt the sting of my wounds. They felt like a dull pain compared to earlier. Glancing back at Kaiba, I said, "Thank you, for everything."
"A car will be waiting downstairs for you to take home. I don't want you carrying all that on a bus when you are injured."
"Thank you." I bowed and left the office, feeling different. Like I was relieved. Kaiba and I had a conversation that didn't end in an argument. He also didn't comment on the almost kiss I gave him. I sighed and took the elevator down to the ground floor. I don't know if it was because of relief or the fact that Kaiba didn't object me being close to him. I didn't know what it would be like to work with the infamous cold hearted CEO. I hoped that I could keep my feelings under control. I wanted to prove to the world that I wasn't a whore. I knew I could do my job and I planned on showing everyone.
I left the slightly deserted lobby, noticing for the first time that it was pass quitting time for most people. When I got outside, I noticed all the news vans and reporters surrounding Ryu Records. Surprisingly they weren't paying attention to me. I looked in front of Kaiba Corp. and noticed a tall black haired man standing beside a plain looking four door black car. He bowed and walked to the other side of the car, opening the passenger side. "Jounouchi-san," he greeted. He took the box and briefcase from my hand and placed it in the back before getting into the driver's side. "The doctor phoned in some prescriptions for you." He handed me the bag.
I was surprised at how efficient Kaiba's staff was. I expected to either go myself or get dropped off at the pharmacy. I should have known Kaiba would think of everything. "How much do I owe you?"
"Nothing. Kaiba-sama has already reimbursed me."
I frowned. I was already in debt to Kaiba. At least I had a chance to pay him back by working for him. "Thank you for getting them for me."
He nodded before starting the car. "Is there any place you need to go to before I take you home?"
I shook my head. I was feeling exhausted again. I really wanted to read through everything and get it back to Kaiba by tomorrow. The driver oddly enough knew where I lived and didn't need any directions from me. I must have drifted some time during the ride home. The next thing I knew, the driver was calling my name. I blinked a few times. "Sorry," I mumbled, stepping out into the street next to him.
I reached for the box he held but he pulled it away. "You can barely stand. I'll help you up to your apartment."
"Thank you." I let him into the front door of the complex and walked up the stairs to the third floor. This was one of the times I wished the place had an elevator. When I reached the top, I had to lean against the wall to catch my breath. Pain was shooting from everywhere. The driver's worried face appeared before me.
"Hand me your keys, and I'll help you." I groaned and reached into my pocket. The keys jingled in my shaky hands as I held them out. "Don't move." He walked down the long hallway and disappeared around the corner where my apartment was. He returned seconds later. He took my arm and placed it around his neck and placed his hand gently on my back. "Lean completely on me." I placed my arm around his waist and leaned on him. One step after another, we made our way to the open door of my apartment. He lead me into my bedroom and helped me into bed.
He placed the back of his hand against my forehead. "Do you feel cold?"
I shook my head and closed my eyes. "Just pain. It should pass." He pulled the blanket up, and I grabbed the top. Trying to calm my quivering body, I didn't notice that he was still watching me.
"It's Satoshi," I heard him say. Confused, I cracked my eyes open to see him standing with his back to me and a phone against his ear. "Yes, but he had trouble climbing the stairs. He said he's just in pain. There isn't a fever, and he's not shivering. I don't think so. He may need rest. He fell asleep on the drive here. I was going to suggest that. I don't mind. Of course, Kaiba-sama. Thank you, sir. Have a good evening."
I groaned and rolled to my side. "I'm sorry I never asked you your name."
Satoshi walked over to me. "You were barely awake the entire ride here. Kaiba-sama was worried about you. He said you weren't acting like yourself most of the time he talked to you. I'm going to stay here tonight. If you need anything don't be afraid to shout."
"Thank you." I reached up for one of my pillows and held it up to him. "There is a blanket in the closet by the door."
"Thank you, Jounouchi-san. Good night."
"Good night, Satoshi." I closed my eyes and smiled. It made me feel good that Kaiba was concerned for my wellbeing. It made me think that I may have a chance of being with Kaiba, but I wanted to prove to everyone and myself that I have what it takes to be a personal assistant. Of course the first step was to recovery.
