Chapter 1

Found in the park

Seto Kaiba was sitting on a bench in the park reading the newspaper. Mai Valentine was walking down the path when she saw Seto. He had fallen asleep and fell off the bench. She rushed to his side to check if he was all right. She placed a hand on his forehead and noticed that he had a fever. Mai picked him up the best that she could and took Seto to her car and from there to her mansion.

Mai had Seto taken to a spare bedroom. She called the doctor and he came as soon as he could. "I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do." The doctor replied as he finished checking Seto. "What? But there has to be something!" Mai almost yelled. "I am afraid that all you can do is wait and hope." Mai looked at Seto. She never felt so helpless in her life. The doctor quietly left and Mai stayed by Seto's side for the next five days.

Five days passed and still Seto hadn't awakened. Mai was beginning to worry when Seto started waking. "Where am I?" Seto grumbled once he looked around at his surroundings. "You're at my house." Mai said coolly. "What!" Seto yelled. "Is there a problem with that?" Mai asked. "No it's just that I can't… believe you would allow me… to sleep in your… bed." He stuttered.

"I didn't. This is a spare bedroom. Why? Are you disappointed?" "You have no idea how disappointed I am." Seto mumbled. "What did you say?" "I said that I am not disappointed." "Whatever." Mai checked his temperature.

Seto's fever had gone down but was still there. "Well, you still have a bit of a fever but that should go away in a couple of days." "Good. I should go home before Mokuba calls the police to come find me." "Oh ok. Bye." "Whatever." Seto left.

A few minutes later Mai started thinking that it wasn't such a good idea to let him go. Seto was waking in the park when he started coughing uncontrollably. Mai decided to go look for him. He fell to the ground as it started to snow. He crawled to a near by tree and sat under it. Mai checked the park first not knowing where he would go. She ran down the path shouting his name. She finally found Seto under the tree shivering from the cold and he had passed out moments before she got there.

Seto opened his eyes and saw Mai over him shivering since she had taken her coat and wrapped it around him. She helped him up and led him to her car. When they got to Mai's house Seto was put back in the spare bedroom. Once Seto fell asleep, Mai fainted.
