Point of View

So here is the next chapter for Point of View. Its nice to see that this is flowing a bit easier from my mind then Sex Pets is, but no worries, I shall still be continuing it! Writer's block is still up, but it shall be prevailed! RAR!

There is no sex in this chapter, but within the next few there will be quite the interesting dilemmas lol. I'm actually quite pleased with how this is flowing right now and am looking forward to how it will continue to go, and your input as well.

Otherwise I hope you enjoy!

The woman crept through the crowded dance floor, trying hard not to bump into the various different scantily clad people as she made her way to the back, wanting to submerge herself in the darkness, to become unseen and never found. Besides she knew he was here and that he wanted her. Wanted to claim her. But she couldn't be claimed, no matter how many times her body yearned for his touch, how her lips quivered for another deep searing kiss, how her breath would remained hitched in her throat when he would just look at her with his deep gaze.

'No', she thought. 'I can't fall to him. I just can't'.

She finally found a lone booth in the back corner with a slowly waning red candle, the wax dripping over the edges of its glass container. She gently eased her way into the hard black wooden chair, settling herself into a comfortable position, letting the music wash over her. Though that only lasted for a matter of seconds till a firm hand came clamping down on her shoulder.

"Well well, looks like I've found you again my pet" came a rough husky baritone voice, wafting easily into the canal of her ear, sending tingles down her spine. Jerking around her features paled. It was him.

"I am not your pet" she stated boldly, trying to hold back the quiver in her voice. His grin widened.

"No, perhaps you're correct. You are more of my... personal slave. There, does that sound better?"

Her eyes widened in shock as the words rolled over her, freezing her to the core, but stilling her need to get away. What was wrong with her? This whole situation was wrong! And yet... her body felt otherwise towards this man. She opened her mouth, forcing herself to say the words that she knew she should say-

A loud furious knock resounded through the door.

Hitting the save button on her word pad document, Asha craned her head to the door, grinning widely. She knew he would come.The way he had abruptly hung up the phone on her didn't mean he wouldn't continue his conversation with her, or rage, he just wanted to do it in person. But she would never of expected it to happen so quickly! It appears that even some things matter to him more than work, but she was surprised, and greatly amused, to find out that his gender was one of them.

Rolling her computer chair back, she rose to her feet and slowly made her way to the door, the smile on her face increasing with every frantic loud knock that was being beat down on her door. The gothic girl could barely contain her excitement as she finally stood in front of said beaten door, quite easily able to hear the deep breathing through the wood. Her smile still as large as ever, she calmly turned the knob of the door and pulled it open, greeting her angry guest.

"Why Seto, what a pleasant surprise" she drawled out, her eyes roaming over the work that was done upon the CEO's frame. Seto gave her a disgruntled snarl and stomped towards her, forcing the long black haired girl to move a couple of steps backwards to allow the angered brunette into the room, who slammed the door shut behind them once in the threshold of Asha's home.

"Stuff it Cirax" Seto snapped, using her last name as a form of disrespect, though it did not startle the girl nor wipe the smirk off her face. No, it only increased its intensity as Asha analyzed Seto's new voice. It had quite a pleasant ring to it, probably even more so if the owner of Kaiba Corp was a lot more calm.

"My my Seto, you definitely look as hot as a woman as you do as a man" she complimented as her eyes went over her body again.

The features of Seto's face were a bit softer, though her hair and the cold gaze of those deep blue eyes were the same. Her lips were a big fuller and the adam's apple upon her slender neck was barely noticeable. Moving down to Seto's new rack, Asha gazed at how her medium sized breasts pressed tightly against the black sweater, making the fabric hug the woman's form snugly. The leather pants hugged tightly on her hips, which had gotten slightly bigger, and along with her thighs, looking a bit fuller, but was loose at the front, the penis that once lay beneath it now no longer pressing tight against the material. Asha raised her eyes once again to Seto's glaring gaze.

"Though I must apologize for the lack of size to your bust. I certainly thought it would be bigger... but then again with your frame, I guess it had to be realistic" she added with a supplicating tone, unable to resist another smile as she could almost see one of the CEO's veins pop from her forehead.

"Cut the chit chat Asha! I demand to know how you did this to me!" she snapped, not able to hold back her apparent anger. The woman across from her merely smirked.

"Simple. I used magic". Seto scoffed, her eyes filled with annoyance.

"Oh don't start with that bullshit! Don't you think I've heard enough of it for the past few years?! Now tell me the truth!" Now it was Asha's turn to shoot the arrogant CEO a cold glare.

"What do you want me to say Seto? That I had you drugged and put under surgery and threatened everyone around you to act like nothing happened and that it was the same day? Don't play stupid. Surgery would still make you feel the pain and there would be scars and abnormalities within you as you adjust to it in the normal terms. Besides, even if I kept you locked away until the scarring would fade, even you would notice the large gaps within your mind and somebody would slip up and tell you the truth. Why can't you open your fucking eyes and that recessed mind of yours and accept the fact that what happened here was MAGIC?! Nothing else would make you feel healthy or clean like this".

"I don't believe in magic" the brunette stated simply again, crossing her arms.

"Well you better start believing now Seto, for magic is the way you got into that new form and magic is the only way that you'll be able to turn back" the long black haired girl stated cooly, her features once again turning into that of a devious smirk. Seto's slender hands clenched tightly at her sides and for some reason she had a strong urge to slap Asha in the face. She had gotten the urge to hit people before, but never this strongly. Then again Seto has never had a sex change before and that was reason enough to want to be angry. But right now she wanted answers and beating people up, no matter how satisfying it'd be for her, she highly doubted Asha would let loose anything, and most likely would end up enjoying it with the type of person she was. And besides, Seto didn't do things like that.

"And you did all this because you felt I didn't understand you women, especially in the workforce, completely? Am I right?" At Asha's simple nod Seto's lips curled into a sneer, conveying her with disgusted eyes. "Pathetic. You couldn't even try to confront me in person to discuss this matter? You had to take the coward's way out and do this behind my back... so weak".

Asha's smirk slowly slid off her face and irritation replaced it, even more so when Seto's expression grew smug, knowing she struck a nerve and knowing, at least within the brunette's mind, that she was right.

"Its not like you would of listened to me even if I tried Seto! You would just ignore me or try to shut me down with your I-am-always-right attitude!" Seto rolled her eyes but wasn't unable to contain a slight grin as Asha was balling her fists, extremely satisfied how the gothic girl was getting agitated.

"That's the point Asha, you didn't even try! So how would you know? Instead you pull this stupid stunt!"

"I didn't try cause I know you wouldn't LISTEN! You're easy to read when things piss you off! You'll keep fighting till you're right, especially in matters that you're wrong in! And stunt or not, you're stuck in this body until you appreciate women in the workforce!"

"No I will not!" Seto yelled, the building rage that was growing ever more inside her finally unleashing. Asha's eyes widened as she could see the CEO's cheeks go red, her body trembling in anger as well. The tall brunette stalked closer to the gothic girl, who almost started to step back in caution but then remained still, holding her ground. "I don't have to go around appreciating every single bitch that wants to work in the world! That's not my job and if any of those unlucky hags work for me and fuck up, well you know what, they get fired and that's that! Now you better turn me back this instant with either your little hocus pocus or whatever or I swear I'll make you pay!"

Asha remained silent for a moment and Seto wondered if she stunned the girl into absolute silence with her rant. However that proved not to be the case when the black haired girl burst into laughter, her arms gripping her sides as her body shook, shaking her head from side to side. Seto let out a low growl, growing more infuriated what with trying to get this girl to comply.

"And what, pray tell, is so funny?"

Asha just stared at Seto, who was huffing in anger, becoming even more angry that the long black haired girl would not give her an answer. Her eyes widened as the gothic girl let out a sharp laugh, her eyes closed and shaking her head from side to side, as if she found something unbelievable. Though this did not amuse the CEO in the slightest.

"Why you, my dear Seto. Whoever knew you would be a lot more bitchy and... emotional, as a woman?" she finally said after she calmed down.

"Well one would be if one moment they're a man and the next they're a woman! Now quit changing the subject and CHANGE ME BACK!" Seto snapped, her patience wearing dangerously thin. The gothic girl sighed, shaking her head.

"No can do Seto. Once the spell is done, its done. It won't reverse until you appreciate working women". At this Seto let out a strangled yell, slamming one of her coiled fists against the wall, almost causing the girl across from her to jump at the action.

"I can't go around like this Asha! How can I show myself to my own brother?!" At this Asha waved her hand nonchalantly, for once having a reassuring smile on her face since the beginning of the conversation.

"Oh don't worry about that Seto. The spell won't affect any relationships that you have and before you even ask, it won't affect your company either. Actually it may bode a lot better for you... people in the business definitely seem more keen to help a female CEO over a male one".

"Maybe so, but only for their own personal means, and believe me, I know" she snarled. At this Asha's eyes narrowed coldly back to her.

"Oh I definitely believe that aspect of you".

"No one will take me seriously now that I am a woman!" she retorted. Asha only shrugged, and once again the urge to hit this woman rose to Seto's mind.

"Well guess you'll have to find out how to deal with it. Its not my problem".

"You know I could make life very hard for you Asha... very, very hard. So I suggest you comply and turn me back" she said in a very low voice, almost a whisper as she moved her face closer to the other's girl's. Asha almost gulped with the close proximity, the warm breath of the taller brunette washing over her. Damnit, she thought, doesn't matter if Seto is male or female... I still get horny...

However though part of her was starting to weaken, her overall spirit did not and she firmly shook her head, a wicked look in her eyes.

"Sorry Seto. No easy way out. Guess you'll just have to work at it like the rest of us normal people do with problems in life".

"No one had to work with this before!" Seto shot back angrily.

"Sure they do! At least those that had sex changes".

"But they had a CHOICE! I did not!"

"Oh well, just a minor detail anyway" Asha drawled out, shrugging again. Seto wanted to pull her hair out, or more so that of the gothic girl. This was getting very infuriating.

"So point blank you won't do it?"

"By gods Seto, how many times are you going to ask? No, I will not turn you back for I can't turn you back. However, I can help you... if you ask me nicely" she let out in a mocking sweet tone. Seto's blue eyes hardened into a cold gaze and her lips curled tightly against each other. With one last moment of glaring at the girl, she turned on her heel and stalked towards the door. Upon opening it, she looked over her shoulder at Asha.

"I don't need anyone's help, let alone yours" she stated firmly and with that left abruptly, slamming the door behind her.

Asha let out a sigh, scratching the back of her head before making her way back over to her computer, debating whether to continue her story or not. Finally coming to the conclusion that the discussion derailed her, but only temporarily from continuing it, she shut off the computer, deciding to pass on this delightful news to her friends.

But one thing she was certain of as she pulled on her jacket and shoes, grabbing her keys as she made her way out the door, a huge smile plastered on her face.

Seto would definitely be asking for her help again... and soon.

* * *

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Kashka and Malik yelled out in unison where as Ryou and Brooke could only gaze at their gothic friend sitting on the red velour couch across from them, who grinned at them with a wicked look in her eyes.

"Yep, I turned Seto into a girl. And he's a mighty hot one at that".

"I can't believe this..." Ryou said, shaking his head, still in disbelief. Brooke cocked her head to the sighed, a confused look in her eyes.

"And you used your book? I thought you decided to not bother using it anymore, what with the cost of the spells?" Asha shrugged, taking a sip from her glass of water before setting it back down on the coiled metal table.

"I thought so too until Seto pulled the whole anti-female doing man's job stunt".

"Well can't say I blame you! If only he said that when he was in my presence and I'd show him a thing or two about women doing a man's job!" Kashka stated darkly, causing Ryou, Malik and Brooke to gaze at her uncomfortably, knowing very well how she would do it.

"But Asha... what of the consequence?" Brooke then queried, concern apparent in her tone of voice. Asha smiled at her friend, a warm feeling go through her. No matter what, her friend still wanted to figure out the finer points of every problem, even if the situation in itself was quite good, for her it was better to be safe than sorry.

"The consequence is something along the line that Seto will be choosing the penance, but its related to something I previously thought about. I'm not exactly sure what it could be, but my best guess is that its going to be along the lines that I'm fired from babysitting Mokuba".

"Wouldn't he have done that already by now? If he... err, well if she is as angry as you said she was, then I'm pretty sure Seto would get on that" Malik mused. Asha only shrugged at the comment.

"Don't really know, I guess she may be too distracted with her new sexuality to think about that. Besides Mokuba loves me so I don't think she'll do it, no matter how mad she is at me. She doesn't want her little brother to get depressed". Malik and Kashka murmured their agreements, though Brooke and Ryou still looked unsure.

"Perhaps... either way, a punishment from Seto is never good" the white haired man stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"True... but she won't be able to until she turns back to a guy, and unless she turns over a new leaf, Asha will have nothing to worry about" Kashka said, sending the long black haired girl a wide grin. "I so want to see what she looks like... does she have a large rack?"

"Oh my god..." Brooke sighed, her hand over her eyes, shaking her head. Kashka let out a chuckle and curled closer to her girlfriend, draping her arm around the blond's shoulders.

"Don't worry babe, your rack is the only one I love" she purred into her girlfriend's ear, causing Brooke's face to light up with bright red rosy cheeks. She hid her face from the guys view, who only laughed at her, as Kashka went on. "I'm just curious, that's all".

"Well unfortunately to us, Kaiba's bust is of average size, but I guess it makes more sense, what with her being a fairly skinny girl. I'm actually surprised she doesn't have a flat chest" Asha mused.

"I bet that's what Kaiba was hoping for, but guess luck isn't on his... I mean her side" Malik snickered. Asha laughed with him, the thought finally hitting home with her and even was mildly surprised as to why the cold CEO didn't get a flat chest, but it was a lot more humourous this way.

"You do realize she can threaten you, right Asha? Female or not, she is still Seto Kaiba and has quite an amount of hefty power behind her" Ryou piped up after everyone regained their breaths from laughing so much.

"Oh yes, I do know. And she can try everything in the book, but I'm speaking the truth when I say that I can't change her back period. I'll only help her if she asks for my help".

"Fat chance. Kaiba asks no one for help, she demands it. The only help she may ask for help may be from Mokuba, but even that is a slim chance, with how much work she has already and doesn't want to put it on him" Malik stated in a matter-of-fact tone, though he acquired a curious expression when Asha snickered.

"She won't have much of a choice, when she realizes that there isn't much she can do. She won't want to get too many people involved and in the end sometimes working with your rival will be the best outcome" Asha stated casually, a glimmer in her eyes as she settled back comfortably, thinking up all of the different outcomes of what Seto would try, and would fail till in the end when she requests for her help.

"Until they kill you after" Malik replied slyly, earning laughter from all of them once again. At the moment Asha had nothing to worry about, but even those who were certain of the answer had to watch their backs carefully, for on the way to the answer, there may be hidden problems within.

* * *

To say that Seto Kaiba was angry was putting it mildly at best. She was downright enraged and her employees knew far too well to not raise the ire in their newly gender changed boss. After the last few male workers decided to stupidly hit on said new gender changed boss, they were met with a vicious end, not only being fired, but the pay they were suppose to earn till then cut in half. But it did not matter if there were those who did nothing to Seto, the angered woman continued to fire employees every single day, sometimes being a couple, and other times going into the twenties and thirties. If it wasn't for her secretary Marie hiring more on, Kaiba Corp would soon be empty.

As the gothic girl had promised, when Seto finally confronted her younger brother Mokuba, instead of truthfully fearing some scorn from him, she was greatly relieved when he ran up and hug her tight around her waist, the love that he showed before when Seto were a man having not changed at all in the slightest.

"Don't worry Seto. No matter what or who you are, I still love you big... sister" he said in a soft voice.

It warmed the young woman in her heart and for a moment she almost seemed to become one with the idea of accepting her fate of becoming a woman, but once her brother had went to bed that night, did the thought becoming a stupid lament. It wasn't fate, nor was it a choice for her. It was just forced upon her by another girl's stupid idea for justice.

Days have passed and Seto was continually researching for some way to cure this transformation. No matter whether she was at work or at home, she was endlessly searching for the answer she desired.

But none came, and though it was becoming more apparent that what Asha told her being the truth, she steadfastly refused to accept it. There must be another a way, a loop hole even. In every matter there was always some form of a loop hole, whether large or small.

She thought of many various different scenarios, even surgery at one point, but then immediately scratched the idea. First just her showing up at a hospital and them realizing that she really was Seto Kaiba, but a female, would be a hassle in itself. Just the idea of having to go through something that could take an excessively long time to heal seemed pointless, along with the fact that Asha having turned her successfully to a female without surgery proved that she could be changed back just as easily. Plus if this got out to the media, then Seto would have more then a massive headache. She knew some of her employees, though threatened greatly not to say anything outside of work, would gossip, Seto at least had the comfort to know that no one would take them seriously. Yet if she was caught on film or the media got wind that she was in the hospital, that was a different matter.

Seto was finally coming to the conclusion that what happened to her, was, regretfully, something beyond the normal means. She would never, ever admit that to anyone else and nor did she want to believe it, but what other choice did she have? Asha was right in the fact that she could not continue to ignore all the various weird events that involved her in the past, what with Yugi and his friends and the whole millennium item propaganda.

She seriously wondered if the gothic girl actually could change her back, but she had always been upfront with Seto and never truly lied. The obvious answer was in front of the CEO. No matter how much research she did, no matter how many other routes she thought of taking, the obligatory path to return her to being male still was the same.

But Seto Kaiba couldn't just go against her beliefs so easily nor could she change them just because someone said so. She could fake it, but faking it would not help at all. She didn't care what others had to go through to survive, nor really appreciate the work they did. The women who did work in her company, if they got the work they were told to get done completed on time, then they were lucky to not face unemployment. Even if they exceeded expectations, which was rare to impress the CEO, Seto wouldn't bat an eye. That employee would just be one of the luckier ones to remain longer in a decent paying job compared to those who were lacking.

But to appreciate women in the workforce? At times Seto really believed they shouldn't even bother. It has always been the man's job, even back in the olden days to take care of the household. A woman should just stick to taking care of duties that a man couldn't be bothered with. Who cared anyway?

Well Asha does apparently, and that's why she made you this way came a snide voice in the back of the brunette's mind, causing the young woman to scowl.

"Damn that bitch! Why couldn't she mind her own fucking business!" Seto snarled out, slamming her fist against her desk, ignoring the slight protest of pain that rang out through her hand. It disgusted her how little abuse her body could take now being a woman. She hated feeling so... weak.

"Is everything alright Mr. Kaiba?" Marie asked as she poked her head into her boss' office, a concerned look within her gray eyes, still using the male suffix, knowing that her boss was still a man, even with the change.

"No it's not Marie! I've been changed into a woman and am hating every fucking moment of it! What do you expect?" Seto snapped out to her secretary, angry creases staining her forehead. However, after the statement was spilled out, the CEO took a long deep breath and closed her eyes, as if willing the tension to leave her, even for a bit. Upon opening her eyes, she spoke again, her voice full of forced calm. "I didn't mean it like that".

The old secretary blinked slowly at the comment before letting the faintest of smiles come upon her lips. It was rare, but not uncommon, for the young CEO to snap at her. In all her time working for Seto, she was one of the lucky few who hardly ever raised any ire out from her boss for she always got her work done diligently and just the way the CEO liked it. Even if she did get some rebuke, she would not let it faze her, having been in the field far too long to let comments break her down, and just went about her business. Yet, to hear something that was close to an actual apology, and from THE Seto Kaiba no less, was quite a feat. Yet she would never take advantage of it, nor bring notice to it to the newly gender changed CEO. Marie considered it a... side effect of Seto's newly acquired body, as well as women being a lot more polite then men were. But it was still nice to hear it, along with the fact that it proved that Seto did appreciate some people, even if she'll never admit it.

"You must not over stress yourself Mr. Kaiba. You'll make yourself sick" she gently advised as she entered the office fully, shutting the door behind her as to not have any passerbys listening in. Seto sighed loudly, running one of her delicate hands through her hair.

"How can I possibly not Marie? I've been recently changed into a woman and there's nothing I can possibly do about it! Any problem I faced, I would always come up with an answer, but this one I can't!"

"Perhaps for there is already an answer Mr. Kaiba?" Marie supplied gently, causing Seto to let out a low groan, roughly shaking her head.

"An answer that I don't want to accept! Yet it's the only answer that will help! But why should I change my beliefs for some other selfish girl's wants?! Damnit, she should of minded her own business! Yet I can't stay like this forever! Especially with all the upcoming business plans for Kaiba Corp in the next couple of months! Why should I have to appreciate how women work?! Who gives a fuck?" Seto ranted and at this, Marie remained silent. She took no offence to what the CEO stated. Many male bosses she had worked for had the same attitude and she thought nothing of it for they never voiced any complaints of her. She secretly did believe women in the business were vital, but never was she one to force her opinions on others. But that came from her own personal knowledge and wisdom throughout her long years, years that Seto could not even begin to truly comprehend, nor care to do so.

"Yet it's the only thing I can do... but..." Seto trailed off, turning her face away from her elder secretary, refusing to look her in the eye, instead looking out the giant windows of her office. Once again Marie had a small smile upon her face, already knowing the answer the CEO had but not wishing to state it. So instead, she did for her.

"You don't know how". Upon hearing the response, Seto only gave the slightest of nods, still not moving to lock her gaze with Marie's, not wanting to show her the slightest sign of weakness that she felt her new body was giving her.

"It does take time Mr. Kaiba, as does everything".

"Time that I don't have Marie" Seto replied shortly, annoyance dripping from her soft tone.

"Didn't the young lady offer her assistance?" At this Seto snorted.

"Yes, she did, but I see no reason in accepting her help. After she was the one who did this to me and won't turn me back willingly, I can't be bothered with her".

"She did say that she couldn't turn you back at will Mr. Kaiba" Marie gently added and Seto let out a cold sneer, shaking her head.

"So what's the point in having her help me? She's useless to me at this point".

"Sometimes, Mr. Kaiba, working with one's rival, or someone that you may not be on good terms with can actually bring you closer to the answer then to work alone" Marie pointed out, causing the CEO to let out a long sigh as she ran her hands through her hair again before massaging her temples delicately.

"Maybe so, but I'm not too keen of giving her the satisfaction that she won".

"Even if she obtains victory over something you don't like, what is more important? Stopping her from succeeding in proving something over you? Or to gain your original form? I believe the answer is quite obvious" Marie pointed out, her tone of voice almost leading onto that of a stern point. Whether Seto picked up on it or not, she showed no acknowledgement. Instead she let out a sigh and finally moved to lock her eyes with the old secretary.

"Can't you help me?" she finally asked, her voice soft and quiet and Marie could almost swear she heard a faint sound of pleading from within. She gave her boss a soft, kind smile as she shook her head softly.

"Unfortunately I can not Mr. Kaiba. For one, I honestly believe that only yourself and Asha can work through this. I know it may be something you don't want to hear, but it is the truth. Only those who are directly involved can truly get through this. And secondly, I am old Mr. Kaiba and am from a different time then you. I would be of no help in matters like this for I never have experienced this and lastly, because I am old, I don't remember as fondly of what it is like to be young" she finished jokingly, earning a small crack of a smile from her boss, causing the old woman's eyes to twinkle.

Long after Marie had left her office, Seto still was thinking of the elder woman's words, having settled comfortably within the younger woman's thoughts. With her, what the old secretary said made sense and did not raise any ire from the cold blue eyed CEO. Perhaps it was because Marie was truly wise and did not flaunt her knowledge on others. Maybe it was because she was one of the very few women who had common sense or perhaps it was due to the fact that she had never done anything to disrupt Seto so, earning her complete trust. Whatever it was, Seto believed in her and at that time, would feel no shame in announcing it.

"She's right" Seto finally stated quietly to herself, her hand reaching absentmindedly for the phone on her desk, not seeing it till it rested in the palm of her left hand, her right one poised delicately over the numbers.

It would not be easy, but not everything was. Some endeavours were more bumpier than others but Seto had faced them all and not all of them that she went through was she alone. At times she was indeed alone, facing the brunt force of all that came her way. At other times she had Mokuba by her side, giving her the support that only family could. And even those times with her arch rival Yugi Muto and his friends, she could only prevail with their aid, even if she acted that she didn't want it. This was just another one of those times, and this time the person she needed was the one who did this to her.

A smirk was upon the brunette's feminine face as she dialed Asha's number. She may need her, but doesn't mean she'll make this ride any bit easier for the gothic girl either.

After all, Seto Kaiba plays hard ball too. And she definitely knew how to throw hard, as well as catch all the throws that came back to her.

* * *

Asha and Brooke had just finished visiting Kashka at her job at the higher end Domino mall while being on break. The redhead made Brooke blush furiously in front of everyone when she came to drop off one of her special homemade lunches, thus receiving a very deep french kiss as thanks. It didn't matter where Kashka was, she never held back her passions with her girlfriend.

"You think you would be use to it by now, hmm?" Asha teased her friend, earning her a light punch in the arm.

"I won't deny the fact that I should be, but it still feels new at times whenever Kashka shows how much she cares for me. I still can't believe it at times" Brooke admitted, her cheeks still tainted with a faint red hue, her light green eyes gazing off into some unknown spot.

The long black haired girl smiled fondly at her friend, truly happy to see her like this and slightly a bit jealous. But that was a common emotion she felt now and then again when being around her little group of friends. The feelings would slide away briefly after, but it never really fazed her overall feelings of comfort around her friends and for that she was glad.

"Anyways, its going to be a couple more hours till the others get off work. So what do you want to do?" she then asked, prompting the blonde out of her love reverie.

"Well we could go to the arcade and play the new version of DDR they have. I heard its really hard, even that supposed good dancer Johnny Steps has issues with it too" Brooke said, earning a chortle out of her gothic friend.

"To call that guy even a dancer... but it is something to do, and DDR never grows old with me - oh, hang on a sec, my phone is going off" Asha said as she pulled her vibrating phone out of her pants, her eyes widening at the displayed number.

"What? Who is it?" Brooke asked, eyeing her friend curiously. Asha turned to look at her, a small surprised look on her face.

"Its Seto!" she said, her voice sounding strange as she announced it, as if it didn't sound real.

"Really? Well go on then, answer it! This will prove to be interesting" her friend urged as Asha nodded, flipping open her cell and pressing the receiver to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Asha, come to Kaiba Corp right now. I have something important to discuss with you" came the cold feminine voice that Asha had only witnessed in person over two weeks ago. The brown eyed girl blinked, cocking her head to the side.

"Oh? You do? And here I thought you never wanted to talk to me again" she slyly said into the phone, almost giggling at the low growl that came back as a response.

"Under different circumstances, perhaps not. Either way, get over here, now. And don't keep me waiting" Seto quipped before the line went dead, leaving the girl both bewildered yet excited as she pocketed her phone.

"So, what did he want?" Brooke asked.

"Said she wanted to talk to me in person at Kaiba Corp... most likely about her physique".

"Think she'll ask for your help?"

"Who knows? Want to come to find out?" Brooke grinned, shrugging her shoulders.

"Do you really need to ask? It'll be interesting to meet that asshole in a new light" she joked, both girls letting out a soft laugh as they made their way to the multi billionaire corporation.

When they finally reached outside the doors of Seto's office, they were silently greeted by Marie, the CEO's elder and long employed secretary. Asha was a tad worried if she were to get any trouble from the old woman, but all they got was a small smile and a gesture from her hand, pointing to the door.

"Mr. Kaiba has been expecting you. You may both go on ahead".

"Mr. Kaiba?" Brooke queried, raising her eyebrows at the old woman, who only smiled in returned. Asha just shrugged, assuming that the angered CEO made sure that all of her employees still referred to her as a male. It was quite humourous to her, yet unimportant for the moment and moved forward to open the doors, both her and Brooke entering into the CEO's threshold, shutting the doors behind them.

"You sure took your time" Seto growled, raising her head from her computer to glare at Asha, her eyes widening briefly upon gazing over Brooke's form. "And why is she here?"

"Well hello to you Kaiba. Jeez, you're just as rude as a woman as you are a man. I doubt you remember, but I work with Square Enix gaming, not that you care, seeing as you're preoccupied by more... pressing matters" Brooke sneered, causing Asha to let out a low chuckle. What with the blonde having already been in the blue eyed girl's presence, she was not fazed at all by the cold demeanor.

"Wonderful" Seto said smugly, before turning her attention towards the other woman in the room. "So Asha, I have a proposition".

"Really now? This should be good. What is it?" the girl queried, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Whatever those editors are offering you for those stupid sex stories is nothing compared to what I can give you. So how about this, you do your hocus pocus or nonsense and turn me back into a man and I'll pay you quite handsomely, more then you can ever dream of. Now what do you say?"

Asha blinked slowly, letting the words wash over her, before turning to gaze at Brooke, her friend just as bewildered as she. They gazed into each other's eyes for a long moment before the two burst out laughing hysterically, causing the other woman sitting across from them to scowl menacingly.

"For chrissakes Seto, how many fucking times do I have to tell you? I CAN NOT TURN YOU BACK! And even if I could, do you think you can just bribe me to do it? That's so pathetic. Do you really think you can get anything you want with money? Life doesn't work that way you know!" Asha reprimanded while Brooke was still laughing beside her. Both the two friends could almost see the tension that the CEO was holding in about to snap, his patience virtually on the threshold.

The laughter ended when the sound of Seto's curled fist came crashing down on her desk, the noise cutting across the room to where the two girls stood, Brooke having ceased her giggling as the two friends stared at the CEO with wide eyes as they watched the brunette roughly stand up, pressing both her palms flat against her desk, her shoulders tense and eyes glaring out at the two before her, her body shaking slightly in anger.

"Goddamnit! I don't have time for your stupid life explanations of what I can or can not do! I have a business to run and important matters to consult and I don't have time to waste on bickering with you! Now are you going to help me or not?!" Seto snapped out, silence cutting through the room as all the other two girls could do was stare back at the agitated CEO.

Did she just ask for my help? Asha thought, still surprised to hear the words that she yearned to experience finally pop out of the CEO's mouth. Perhaps it was not in the way she had hoped, and to be realistic, whether man or woman, it wasn't in the CEO's nature to just ask for help. The tone of her voice definitely was more along the lines of demanding, but she still needed her and this was as close to a request as she was going to get, and the gothic girl knew better then to take advantage of some things.

A smile came upon her painted black lips as she rested her hands on her hips, giving a coy smirk to the tall woman before her, her friend looking between the two of them, Brooke also amused as well at the current dilemma.

"Sure thing Kaiba. All you had to do was ask" Asha replied smugly, the brunette smirking back at her as the tension that had been only moments before curling off her frame had finally slowly subsided as she sat back down in her leather chair, leaning back as she gazed at the two girls across from her, interlocking her fingers, one of her thing brown eyebrows curving upwards elegantly.

"Well then, let's get started" Seto said softly, though there was a dangerous tone to her delicate voice. There was no smile on her face, but the look in her eyes blue eyes was anything but friendly. More along the lines of wicked.

"I definitely agree" Asha answered, her own eyes having a playful look within their depths, her fingers twitching eagerly upon her hips, her body itching for the action that was too come.

This will definitely be an adventure worth travelling through. Kaiba, you're going to get the lesson that you should of learned a long time ago... you should know better then to mess with the opposite sex... Asha thought to herself gleefully.

I'll only tolerate your antics for now Asha. Once you get me back to what I use to be, I'm going to make you pay little girl... and believe me, it will be anything but pleasant the CEO thought darkly to herself, the various situations she had in mind for the gothic girl forming within her brain at this very moment.

This is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride... but it's going to be loads of fun. I can't wait! were the thoughts going through Brooke's head as she conveyed the looks that the other two girls stationed opposite of the other were giving.

Most fun indeed.
