" Y-your not mad at me?" Nona asked disbelievingly. Kaiba shook his head.

" Wow" Nona said, not knowing exactly what else to say. Kaiba smiled a small smile. Joey, Tea, Nona, Tristan and Yugi's jaws all dropped. They brought their jaws back up a second later, not wanting to be rude. Nona coughed, out of embarrassment. She started to choke, and then gag. She doubled over, shaking. Before anyone could say anything though, she was upright again, looking perfectly fine. Then she vomited all over Joey. Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Yugi looked disgusted, Nona looked shocked, and Kaiba was laughing. Joey walked off, to change and get cleaned off, with Nona yelling out apoligies behind him. Kaiba was bent double, but he was just done laughing, so he straightened up.

" My god, I owe you for vomiting on that Mutt" Kaiba said. Stars came back to Nona's eyes.

" You.. owe me?" she asked. Kaiba nodded. She hugged him again. He slightly smiled, more conscious this time to make sure no one noticed. She made little circles on his chest with her finger, kind of fast. Without thinking, Kaiba wrapped his arms around her. Tea looked like she was going to faint. Yugi and Tristan's eyes seemed to be bugging out. Kaiba dropped his arms by his side instantly, but then rested his head on Nona's. He let out a faint sigh, like he was content. Nona snuggled into him, almost silently begging him to put his arms around her again.

All of a sudden, they parted from each other. Although he would never admit it, Kaiba felt a sudden sense of longing, to have her close to him smiled at him.

'I'm sure most anyone would feel attached to a girl like her snuggling into them... right?' Kaiba thought. He looked her up and down.

'She's very good-looking, pale skin for an Egyptian... Nice. I like it. Hmm. I wonder if she has a boyfriend' Kaiba thought, and that last thought scared him. He tried to convince himself it was just curiousity getting at him, that this girl only fascinated him. He wanted to know everything about her, and then more. He wanted to know how she ate, what her schedule was, even what she looked like when she slept, but he thought he might be able to guess that one. Then he found himself wondering if she liked him.

' I don't like her, and I am most assuredly not obssessed with her. Although her name is nice... Nona... Different, but pretty. Seems to fit her, in every way. Her clothes fit her body nicely, too... WHAT AM I THINKING?!' he mentally shouted at himself. He wanted to snap out of it. He wanted to think normally. He wanted her not to affect him this way, but it was no use.

'It's like she's a drug to me. I want to know her every thought. I want to know everything you could know about her' Kaiba thought.

Suddenly, before he could stop himself, Kaiba heard himself speaking to Nona. " If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?". He was humiliated. A cheap pick-up line. Nona stared at him, with something that looked like shock, and to Kaiba, maybe disgust.

In reality, though, her eyes shone with shock, and love. There was an awkward silence, and she coughed. Kaiba seemed to take it as if she was ignoring the pick-up line, and so he felt a bit rejected. But, even though he felt like that, he couldn't stop the next pick-up line. " If I bit my lip, would you kiss it better?". Kaiba couldn't believe it. Right now, he wanted nothing more than control over his mouth.

Nona was stunned by this point. Her brain had shut down.

' Seto Kaiba is using pick-up lines on ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!' she was mentally screaming at herself. She opened and closed her mouth several times like she was trying to say something, but words were not coming out. She couldn't take her eyes off Kaiba.

' I could easily spend forever staring at him' Nona thought. No matter how much she stared at his face, no matter how familiar his face became, she never got bored of staring at him. She went and hugged him, shock showing up on his face. He hugged her back, slowly. Joey came back at this time. He was shocked to see Kaiba and Nona in an embrace.

" What happened here?" Joey asked. Tristan shrugged.

" It just... happened" he said simply. Tea and Yugi slowly grabbed each other's hand, and they looked at each other, smiling and blushing.

" Oh god, the lovebug is going around" Joey said.

Kaiba twirled Nona's hair around his finger, then unwrapped his finger. He put his face in her hair, and inhaled deeply. Nona snuggled closer to him. Kaiba took his face from her hair. Nona tipped her head back, to look at Kaiba. Kaiba leaned his face in, and kissed Nona lightly on the lips, but Nona didn't want or expect light from Kaiba. She kissed him back, but much more agressively than how he kissed her.

'So that's how your gonna play, huh?' Kaiba thought, and kissed Nona roughly. She grabbed his shirt, pulling on it. Kaiba felt Nona's tongue slip into his mouth. He let it probe a bit, but then slipped his tongue into her mouth. Soon they finally parted for air, still clinging to each other, just their mouths were apart. They both sighed.

" Hey, Nona, maybe we should go find your brother. He could be worried about you" Joey suggested.

" I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself" Nona said.

" Well, It would probably be a good idea, that's all" Joey said.

" You just want to get me away from Kaiba" Nona snapped.

" Excuse me if I didn't want your brother getting mad that your face got eaten" Joey retorted. Nona glared at him.

" What's that supposed to mean, Joey?" Nona asked.

" It means for you to make sure he doesn't steal your face" Joey replied. Kaiba smirked.

" I think someone's jealous" Kaiba said.

" Oh yeah, like I'd be jealous of you" Joey said sarcasticly.

" you would be, dog" Kaiba snapped. Nona parted from Kaiba.

" Maybe I will go find my brother, if it keeps you two from snapping at each other's throat" Nona announced. Nona walked away from Kaiba, and Yugi and the gang followed. Joey turned and stuck his tongue out at Kaiba, who looked sort of dejected.

' She only did it to keep me and that Mutt from hurting the other. I should be happy about it, even if I did want to hurt the Dog' Kaiba thought, trying to convince himself that Nona left for a good reason. It didn't work very well, and he felt like he was going to cry. He rushed off to some place he could be in private, maybe for a long cry. Because, he figured, maybe by the time he was done crying, Nona would be back.


Author's note: I think this is getting good so far, but I might need reviews to tell me if I'm moving too fast, and I'm very aware of how fast Seto and Nona went in this chapter, but it just sorta flowed and I didn't feel like changing much, so everything Seto thought and said and did was pretty much on my instincts there. Sorry that he's so OOC, considering he laughed, but I guess that was about Joey getting puked on.. I still seem to think he's awfully OOC, but I think at the end where he was arguing with Joey he was pretty in line there, because I can see him saying that, but I can't imagine him being so gentle the way I had him earlier in this chapter. I don't know how many chapters I want yet, but I'll just have to play it by ear, see how long I think it should be, and hope that my readers like this, because this is my favorite story that I've ever written (that's fanfic).
