He forced back the tears. However, he couldn't stop himself from shaking. It had been five since he had seen her. And he held her tight, up against himself.

"Mi, are you…? Am I dreaming? Please, tell me you're alive!? Even if it's a dream… Let me stay like this… Please."

"Yes." She said, so quietly it was almost a whisper, "Yes, it's me. Yes, I'm alive. No, you're not dreaming."

He didn't want to let go of her, because he thought if he did, she might disappear again. But he did. That's when he realized she was soaking wet. He then, took off he's coat, and draped it around her shoulders.

They walked over towards Seto's little brother, Mokuba.

When the Sun had finally set, Seto said, "Come on, let's go, Mokuba."

And instinctively Mina followed him. They started to walked away when little Yugi called "Hey Kaiba! We couldn't have gotten out of that mess without you."

Seto turned his head, " I did what I had too, Yugi. Got it?" It was more of a demand, than a question.

"Well… Thank you."

Seto started to walk away again. "I'll see at the Battle City Finals.

"Guess that means 'You're Welcome'?" Tristan said.

The Sun had gone down but Mina still wasn't dry. She was still absolutely dripping wet. "Why are you still wet, Mi?" Seto asked.

"Huh? What?" She didn't even hear what he had said.

He laughed, "I said 'why are you still wet'."

"Oh-. Right? It's- a long story. If you two don't mind, we could go to my apartment real quick. So I can get some dry clothes." She was really asking for permission from Seth.

"I don't see why not. Where's your apartment?" Mokuba asked.

"Not that far. A few blocks.

Once they reached Mina's apartment, Jackson and Mavis were sitting outside of the building. "Min! Where in the world have you been?" Mavis said. Then they noticed Seto and Mokuba behind her. "Nevermind."

"Why are you so wet?" Jackson asked.

Mina gave him a look that said I don't wanna talk about it. She headed Seto his coat, which was surprisingly not wet. "I'll be right back." She noticed Seto giving Jackson the evil eye. She didn't see why he should. She walked into the building and Mavis followed her; she had to pull Jackson into the building. "Come on, Dixie Chick Boy.

She walked out a few minutes later wearing a light blue knitted sweater that hung off of one shoulder, faded blue jeans, and black heeled ankle boots.
