The Touch of Sapphire

Chapter 4

Everything may be a little OOC, especially Kaiba. Kaiba's personality is kinda difficult to grasp, but I couldn't resist writing him. This chapter is kind of important, sets up a few things. Overall, I think it's a mega filler.

Ashley's POV

I wish I could say that I enjoyed my sleep. I woke up to someone banging on my door, at 3 in the fucking morning. I rolled out of bed and grumpily made my way to the door. "Who the fuck is it?" I say, my eyes still closed, my head against the door. "Kaiba." What in the actual fuck. I yanked the door open, not even bothering to open my eyes. "Whoa!" I heard the voice of Mokuba exclaim. What the hell is he talking about?

I let them in, rubbing my eye as I shut the door.  I was waiting for comments about my shitty apartment. But Kaiba kept his mouth shut. I sat with them in the living room, finally being able to open my eyes completely. Mokuba was in his pajamas, Kaiba was still in his dinner outfit. Mokuba was grinning ear to ear, Kaiba was gazing over me, with a scowl indented on his face. "What?" I asked him irritably. "Maybe you should go put some clothes on." He strained his voice, trying his hardest not to yell at me at this time of night.

Then it hit me.

I was in a fucking SHEER nightgown.

I squealed like a kicked puppy and covered my chest. I ran into my bedroom and threw on a robe. Oh my God how fucking embarrassing.

I came back about ten minutes later and sat on the couch next to Mokuba, who was cuddling with my body pillow, falling asleep. I smiled and spread my small blanket over him. I could've sat there and watched him, he was so adorable even at 17. But then I remembered who else was in my company. I grimaced when I looked at Kaiba. He glared hard at me, his eyes breaking my resolve piece by piece.

"So uh, what brings you two here at three in the fucking morning?" He practically threw my flash drive at me. I grinned as I caught it. I could fucking kiss him right now! Wait what? "Oh thank you! You basically saved my ass. Who's the shithead that had it?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. He's not used to my cursing..I guess ha. "The intern. He actually worked for Duke Devlin." Oh shit. I paled when I heard his name and hung my head. Not this bullshit again. Duke always had some effect on my life.

"What business do you have with Devlin?" "I have nothing to do with that man." "You do realize that he's been trying to put me out of business." Kaiba stood over me in a fury. He leaned down, our noses almost touching. "God help you if I find out you're leaking any fucking information to him." "I-I could never leak any information! E-especially to that asshole!!" My hands were shaking just like the day he fired Namakemono.

"I don't fucking trust you. Everything on that flash drive tells me you're associated with him. Tell me why I shouldn't fire you right now!" He fucking looked at everything in my flash drive. I felt my rage build in my chest. It was more towards Duke than anything, but what right did Kaiba have going through my shit? I clenched my fist and glared up at him. "What? The little kitten has nothing to say now? Fine. You're fi-" I moved away from him quickly, heading straight to the wall in front of me. I punched it as hard as I could, driving my fist through the drywall. I punched and punched until I saw blood pouring down my knuckles. Kaiba was going to meet the Orton. The lunatic.

I started screaming at him. "If you only knew the shit that fucking pussy has done to me, then you'll know that I would NEVER give him shit! I fucking married that piece of shit when I was 16, and he tore my whole fucking family apart. My fucking father disowned me because Duke made me steal $200,000 from him to use for his fucking ridiculous dice shit, that is nothing compared to what you've done!! Not only did he get me kicked out, and disowned, he knocked me up. I lost the kid and he left me, left me homeless for months, until Joey and Mai took me in. He took the fucking money and left! Destroyed my life and left! I didn't get a little revenge until years later, I sicked Leon and Joey on his ass after your Grand Championship tournament. My only regret is that he's still breathing. Call me a fucking kitty all you want, I'm quiet because no one can handle the lioness in me. And no, I don't leak information to him!"
