Summary- Usa/Seto, One-Shot (AU)
Seto, dismal and a little bit lonely in his amusement park headquarters decides to come down and mingle with the crowd. He runs into a fetching blonde in his VR chambers playing a adventure game.
White Kingdom
A powerful cedar brunette with a lock of hair separating his ice blue eyes sat in his black corporate chair. His white pantsuit was immaculate with a white trench coat thrown over it. Embossed on the trench coat's collar were silver initials, K.C. , standing for the Kaiba Corp, the company the male owned. The male was Seto Kaiba, legendary game player, multi-billionaire, seventeen year old CEO of Kaiba Corp.
Seto Kaiba swirled his chair to face the window of his office. Glancing out among the mass of people, he was hit with a wave of nostalgia. Mokuba, his younger brother, begged to go to a public school, Seto had no choice, but to let him go. He ran his chain of amusement parks alone, every day, here high above the people who enjoyed his genius. Seto sighed, this was what he wanted at a time, but through his all his occurrences with Yugi, his well-known rival, he coveted the friendship and closeness Yugi's group shared. To put it simply without Mokuba's cheerful presence, Seto was lonely, he cast one more look out his window.
He slammed his fist down on his knee, Seto Kaiba does not mope around, he goes and gets what he wants. With that thought in mind, he instructed his staff of what to do if they needed to get in touch with him. Taking the elevator down, he watched as the steel-grey doors slid open admitting him into the world. Seto let his eyes roam over the colorful groups of people, as he walked through the crowds. His sharp senses catching on laughter, the smiles of friends enjoying a relaxing day, and the amused expressions on the faces of parents as they watched their offspring. One family caught his attention, their faces were creased in worried as they talked to a Kaiba Land security guard.
Curious, Seto walked over and tapped the security guard's shoulder. "What is the problem?" Seto's smooth voice asked. The security guard whirled on his heel, shocked showed on his face as he saw Seto standing there. Seto waited a few moments, still receiving no answer he turn his gaze on the family. "What is exactly going on?" He questions the family. The dark- blue long haired woman stepped forward her navy eyes filled with tears and worry.
"I cannot find my daughter, she ran off after one of her friends teased her when she saw them." The woman said, a silvery tear falling down her cheek. A brown haired male stepped forward and pulled the woman into a hug. A younger sandy blonde male embraced the woman's middle. Seto absorbed all of this, and reached a decision.
"Kaiba Land is a large amusement park, I will help locate her." Seto said. The family glanced up at him, and the woman freed herself from the embraces. She walked over and hugged Seto in thanks, Seto patted her shoulder uncomfortably and gently freed himself. The woman looked up and smiled sheepishly.
"Thank You, my name is Ikuko Tsukino, she pointed to the older male, this is my husband Kenji, her hand fell on the younger male's shoulder, and this is my son Shingo." Ikuko told Seto. Seto nodded at them in hello. "My daughter's name is Usagi Tsukino, she is blonde with balls of hair on her head, and gorgeous sapphire eyes." Ikuko explained to Seto, Seto bowed to the family and walked off to hunt down the missing female. He caught Ikuko's question as he walked away. "Who was that nice young gentleman?" She asked. He heard a sigh of resignation, probably from the younger male.
"Mom, that was Seto Kaiba, you know dueling Olympian and owner of Kaiba Corp." Shingo explained to his mother, grabbing the cell phone she offered and walked off. Seto, smirked at the answer and continued walking he was heading to the castle-like structure. In there, there are many dark corners to hide in and gather your thoughts. The security guard let him as he approached, the place was fairly empty. With two Blue-Eyes Dragons guarding the doorway, he passed by them and his ears caught on a heavy yell.
Seto turned his trek toward the yell, entering the virtual reality chambers. Hearing noises from behind the door that was established as Kingdom Arc, he went in. His eyes adjusted quickly and he notice a female with long blonde hair attached to the wires of the game, the helmet covering her head obscuring any identifying features of the one he was looking for. Seto, however, bet that this was the female that he was looking for. The helmet covered the top of the head passed the nose and stopped before the mouth. Said mouth was cherry red and turned down in a upset frown, tear trails visible on the edge of her chin.
Seto waited for the girl to end her game play. Hearing the triumphant music that was played at the end of beating the game, he stood tall. Observing as the blonde took of the helmet revealing spherical balls on her head. Seto smirked and walked up to her, lightly tapping her on the shoulder. The blond turned and Seto caught sight of breath-taking sapphirine orbs. Noting the similarities of the description from Mrs. Tsukino, he offered a charming smile. He offered a hand to the blonde female, "Seto Kaiba, at your service mil'lady." Seto introduced himself.
The blonde woman-child smiled prettily at him and grasped his hand. "Usagi Tsukino, nice to meet you." She returned the information. Seto nodded at her, leading her out of the darken chamber, his eyes once again catching on the tear paths.
"Why were you crying?" Seto asked, concerned and curious at what would caused the blonde to cry. Usagi turned her sapphires on his iced orbs seeing general interest, she led him to one of the benches placed within the castle incase someone wanted to wait.
"I have a great group of friends, my best friend, Rei always wants to help me out, but sometimes her words cut to deep." Usagi began. "Rei, caught me out here enjoying some family time, since we have so little of it." She said and took a breath, stilling the tears that she felt building. "We were suppose to have a study session today, but I called ahead and canceled, mother had been planning this outing since this park opened." Usagi said. "I was getting some food for my family, and she saw me alone with the food in my arms, she shook her head in anger and stalked over." She explained. "Mistaking me for goofing off, because I am known for being a relaxed studier, she yelled at me and called me irresponsible." Usagi whimpered out, Seto curled one arm around Usagi shoulders. "She normally says things like that, but it is normally in a joking matter, I knew she wasn't joking when she used my name, not my nickname or endearment, I could see the disappointment in her eyes." Usagi cried out, a few tears leaking out even though she tried to stop them. "Then, she stomped off with a shake of her head before I could explain my side." Usagi said, and then she collapsed into tears, reviewing her own faults.
Seto frowned lightly, he could see Usagi had a big heart and low self-esteem. He brought her into his shoulder, bringing his other arm around her back tucking her in to his embrace. Seto mutely studied his own actions, wondering what drew him to do things he wouldn't be known to do. Perhaps, his yearning to be part of the people and the deep kindness he saw within Usagi's eyes called to his distant heart. Using a hand from the arm across Usagi back he stroked her hair, shushing her and mumbling comforting sounds. Feeling Usagi's tears slow and brought under control, he leaned her back so he could study her face.
"Sorry, look at me blubbering all over you when you offered your kindness, I am so selfish I ruin your shirt." Usagi whispered. A few more tears slid from her orbs, and Seto shook his head. Using the hand that had stroke her hair, he brushed away the evidence of tears with the pad of his thumb.
"Don't worry I do not mind, as for my shirt I have a million more." Seto assured her. Usagi shook her head, letting her bangs shadow her eyes.
"No, I should of been more considerate, more studious, more careful, more, more.." Usagi stated. Seto frowned at the comment.
"Stop it!" Seto demanded of Usagi. Usagi gazed up at him, shock in her orbs. He sighed and shook his head, running his free through his hair. "From what you told me she was in the wrong, and from what I observed you are fine just the way you are." Seto informed her, his arm on her shoulder tightening.
"Yes, Rei, might of been wrong today, but I could be better." Usagi said. Seto blinked down in wonderment at the clueless blonde.
"So could everybody, no one is perfect no matter how hard they may believe it, but your mistakes just prove you are human." Seto whispered to her and to himself as he thought over his past. "You have a whole lifetime to enjoy and improve, your faults are part of who you are and your friends know that or they wouldn't be around you, beside you have charming effects that balance out and out weigh those negative items." Seto explained looking into Usagi's eyes, he was slightly confused where all this was coming from, but he was willing to go with it, tired of trying to analyze and stay ahead of the game.
Usagi lifted her head, and gazed deep into Seto's eyes. "You really think so, Seto?" Usagi inquired her eyes shining childishly.
"No, I know so, you have already done something to me." Seto said staring into the orbs of the blond. "As I said before I am Seto Kaiba, owner of Kaiba Corp, known as the cold and ruthless CEO." He explained. "Yet, here I am helping you because your eyes called and heart called to me." Seto said and turned his head to stare into the abyss of the castle. Usagi studied the boy, no man who shared his shoulder and soul with her. After Mamoru, said he no longer believed in destiny, Usagi had been hesitant to trust any male. Yet, Seto, awoken her trust with his own response to her.
"Truly?" Usagi inquired to Seto. Seto brought his darken gaze to hers.
"Truly." He whispered back, his voice thick with rampant emotions.
"Seto, do you believe in destiny?" Usagi asked him, her gaze clear.
"Sometimes, but I firmly believe we make our own destiny." Seto said. Usagi smiled gorgeously at Seto, her eyes shining with stars. "I am going to put that practice to good use." Seto told her and his eyes changed. Usagi was puzzled by the comment, but was pleasantly surprised when Seto tilted her head toward his. Leaning down he gently brought his lips to hers, softly they brushed against Usagi's speaking volumes that Seto couldn't word.
Usagi, was brought to a place filled with comfort, but it was shattered as Seto pulled away. Usagi pouted, and caught his head as she saw his insecure gaze. "This is a kiss." She murmured, and brought his head back to hers, leaning up and catching his lips. Lightly she guided him along, gasping as he ran his tongue along her lower lip. Re-taking control Seto, brought one arm around Usagi's upper body supporting the weight of her head. The other arm fell from her shoulder and snaked around her petite waist. Usagi slid her arms up Seto's and brought them behind his head, playing with his strands of hair that brushed across her fingers. Seto ran his the tip of his tongue along her upper and lower lip, awaiting her gasp, and feeling her shiver within his embrace. Feeling her mouth open he darted his tongue in, brushing hers, and tasting all of her mouth. Seto pushed his head closer to Usagi's exploring every inch of the treasure that was opened to him. Slowly the human oxygen level brought them away from each other.
Panting slightly, Usagi giggled at Seto and crawled into his lap, wrapping her arms around his waist. Seto raised an eyebrow at Usagi, wondering what she was up to. Usagi peered through her smoky lashes, a feminine expression in all its glory. "That was better, care to try again?" Usagi coyly asked. Seto smirked and dipped his head back to hers, this time both enjoying the open caverns of their mouths. A few minutes more of passion, and then pulled away catching their breaths. Usagi smiled up at Seto, her eyes shining. "Wow, you know you are not going to get rid of me now." Usagi explained. Seto smiled down at the nymph in his lap. His ice eyes now soften and melted revealing vivid dark blue orbs, filled with strong passion and protection.
"Wouldn't dream of it or want to." Seto informed her. "You're stuck with me as well." He said and kissed her cheek. "Now, as much as I am enjoying this, I must escort you back to your worried family." Seto explain and lifted Usagi up from his lap carrying her out of the castle in his arms. Usagi curled her arms around his neck and lean her head against his shoulders. As they exited the castle they ran into the Tsukino family, who smiled at the darling picture they made. Well, more like Ikuko smiled, Shingo smirked, and Kenji nodded approvingly. Ikuko drew a camera from her purse and snapped a quick picture of the couple. Seto gently place Usagi down, who slid her arms down around his waist. Seto turned to the family, a thoughtful gaze on his face. "Would you all care to join me for dinner at my estate?" Seto inquired to the family. They all nodded and walked away leaving the pair a little behind.
Usagi turned her head to Seto, gaining his attention, not that it had totally left her. "Does this mean we are together?" Usagi mumbled to him. Seto smirked down at her, the wind ruffling through their locks.
"Yes, once I have something I want I never let it go." Seto told her. Usagi grinned up at him, before switching to her own smirk.
"Good, so do I, and I want you." Usagi claimed and pressed her lips against his. Ikuko came back to see what was taking them and smiled in happiness. Snapping another picture of the unaware pair, she knew that would be one for the album. The pair highlighted by a sunset, while they stood before a silver and white castle, two large Blue-Eyes White Dragons on either side of them standing guard. Wind blown hair caught in time as it frame them, Usagi's ankle-length white dress dancing with Seto's trench coat. A darker brunette head tipped against a blonde one, their lips caught in an embrace of beginning love.
