AN#2- Oh, and I was gonna say that all the guys is going to say Kaiba, and Emily and Mokuba are the only ones that are calling him Seto b/c of my good reasons. Now that I'm re-reading this, I think I made Seto a little bit OOC from the limo ride home until the end, but he might be THIS romantic…. IDK! I tried not to, but then I got into the mood, and it sort of happened… Damn you Joey and Seto fanfics! :p
Also, why don't ya check out Willowsnake and her awesome stories! She inspired me to start a Joey and Seto fic and her stories are so... ADDICTIVE! :)
Disclaimer: sighs Yu-Gi-Oh is not mine at all. Never will be! Kazuki Takahashi owns it all! Even Joey and Seto…
Chapter Two – If I Knew Then
As we finally made it to our destination, Joey and Yugi recognize the place, but not at first.
"Looks like Kaiba fixed th' place up! It looked like a dump." Joey smirked as Yugi shook his head.
"Before," Yugi explained to me, "it was really small, but now that it's this big, I think Kaiba's out did himself."
"Hey, do you think this is as big as his ego?" Joey said and laughed all the way in.
"Joey, just be good! I don't wanna lose my housing for the next month or so!" I whispered in his ear as he nodded, and stayed behind Yugi. I had to cough as we made it to a huge arena.
"Whoa… Now this is-"
"Joey!" I called out as I saw the Kaiba brothers walking across from me.
"So, I can't believe I'm actually gonna see this happen. Yugi Moto versus Emily Johnson, champion versus champion. Here, your duel disk." He threw it to me, and I caught it. "Now, this better be entertaining." Seto uttered as I crossed my arms.
"Oh, you better believe it, buster." I poked at his shirt, and went to the other side of the arena.
"Geez… That girl has some nerve." Yami whispered as the Kaiba's sat right where they are and Joey and Yami went to the other side, away from the others.
I jumped down, onto the solid ground, as Yugi was jumping down as well. I slapped the duel disk on my arm, and put my arm out, watching stuff coming out from the left and the right sides.
Holograms? So, it's like walking Holograms, or something like that.
I grabbed the new deck that Yugi's grandpa altered for me, with my cards and his cards together, and I sighed. I shuffled the deck, and put it in the cardholder.
"You ready, Emily?" I nodded.
"Oh you know it!" I yelled as he nodded.
We both drew five cards, and it began. I was little nervous but I shook it off.
"You can go first, Yugi. Oh, and let's just play for fun, alright? We won't offer anything, just our own time."
"Umm… Okay. Fine with me, Emily."
He looked down at his hand, and I looked down at mine.
NORMAL POV
Yugi looked through his hand and decided to lay a card face down, in defense mode. "Your turn!"
"Okay." She looked at her hand. "I'll lay this card down in defense mode, and end my turn."
"Alright, Emily!" Yugi called out as he looked at his hand. "I play Change of Heart! I take your defense monster, which is a Mystical Elf (ATK: 800 / DEF: 2000), and put it in attack mode!"
"Ah, crap…"
"Then, I summon Gemini Elf (ATK: 1900 / DEF: 900). And I flip over Beta, the Magnet Warrior (ATK: 1700 / DEF: 1400)! All three, attack her directly!"
"Oh, no…"
Emily's LP went from 8000, to 3600.
Great… I'm freaking screwed!
"Good job, Yug! Kick her butt!" Joey yelled as Yami shook his head.
"Hey, mutt! Shut it!" Seto yelled back as Joey got up, but sat down, crossing his arms.
"Just watch your mouth, Kaiba!" Yami yelled over as I coughed. They all looked down at me.
"I'll go!" I yelled as I drew a card and smiled.
Yes! A Cyber Jar! Thank you God!
"I'll lay this in defense mode, face down, and put my Mystical Elf back in defense mode. I'll end my turn."
"OK. I'll let Beta attack your face down monster!"
"It's a Cyber Jar!" Emily smiled but, Yugi had a bigger grin.
After they had five cards in their hands, Yugi had out three monsters –Gamma (ATK: 1500 / DEF: 1800), Beta, and Gemini Elf- and I had one, a Lady Panther (ATK: 1400 / DEF: 1300).
I'm screwed… Oh, shit!
"Well, this is going wonderful!" Emily cried out, sarcastically, as Yugi commanded one Gamma to attack the defense card, and the other two attack her life points. 200-8000.
"Yugi… Well done… I knew that you would beat me. I never had wonderful luck…"
"What are you talking about?"
"I seemed to get rotten luck when I face someone I know, Yugi!"
"Emily…" Yugi murmured as Emily drew a card.
"A Dark Magician Girl? Heck, I can't do anything… I have one low level monster, and it's not strong enough for them three…" Emily whispered to herself as she put her cards in her left hand. "Yugi. Thank you for the match." Emily yelled as the guys got up from their seats.
EMILY'S POV
"Um, you're welcome?"
"Well… All I have to say is-"
My hand was about to go to my deck, so that I could surrender, as I drop my cards and fell to my knees.
"W-what's going on?" I cried out as I yelled in pain. I grabbed my arms, trying to contain myself as I saw Joey, Yami, and the Kaiba's jump down to the arena (AN-the arena, if your confused, is like a hockey rink, without the protective glass and ice, and very big).
"Emily! What's happenin'?" Joey yelled as he made it closer to me.
"I… don't know! AHHHHHH!" I yelled as I closed my eyes, just for a little bit, as I saw Yugi run over to where I was, the holograms disappearing.
"Emily, what is happening? Can you tell us anything?" Yami asked me as I shook my head.
"The only thing I remember… was that I was looking at… this card." I pointed to the Dark Magician Girl as they all looked at it.
"The Dark Magician Girl?" Seto, Joey, and Yami murmured as I screamed, and a bright light appeared in front of me, and everything was a blur for me…
"I finally get to meet you, Pharaoh."
"Uh… Yug… Who's th' girl?" Joey asked as my eyes opened.
The girl had dark brunette hair, longer than mine, and was more tanned than ever. However, none of them knew who she was.
"I can't believe I found you, Pharaoh… Who would have know that this Dark Magician Girl card would lead me to you?"
"Hey, Yami. Do ya know her? Did ya ditch this girl before?" Joey wondered as Seto gave him a glare.
"Why would he have seen this girl? He doesn't get out… a lot." Seto announced as Yami shot a glare at him. Then, the girl turned towards Yami.
"Wait… Her face… It looks… familiar..." Yami uttered as Seto turned to see the girl.
"I'm a part of your memory, somewhere, in all three of you… I hope we can meet, again…"
"What's your name?" Yami yelled as she closed her eyes, and faded away, slowly.
"It's… Mana…"
"Mana… Why does that name- Wait! I know who she is!" Yami murmured to himself as he crossed his arms.
And the girl disappeared as the guys waited for the light to drift away. I opened my eyes, trying to take anything in, as I saw the guys around me.
"What happened?" I asked as everyone looked at each other for answers.
"Wait. Ya didn't see th' girl?" Joey asked.
"Uh, no… What girl?" I said, as the guys got up, unsure of what to say. I got up slowly, and walked over to get my duel disk, that somehow fell off my arm, as I started to feel dizzy. I gripped my head, and fell to the ground, or so I thought. "J-joey?"
"Well, I couldn't let ya fall, and I have better reflexes than those three over there!" Joey murmured as I nodded, and closed my eyes.
Boy… What a headache…
"Do you know anything on what is going on?" Mokuba asked his brother as he shook his head.
"That girl…" Yami uttered as he walked over to us.
"Who was she?" Mokuba asked Yami as the others looked over towards him.
"She's Mana. She was a childhood friend, when I was young, in Egypt. But, why is she here now?" Yami wondered as Joey shrugged.
"Maybe if we see her again, we'll ask her." Joey said as he picked me up and carried me bridal style.
Okay, I have to admit it… This is embarrassing… But, sort of… Sweet… Somehow…
I shook my head as I looked at my watch.
"Well, look at the time. I think I'm going to go back with the Kaiba's." I announced as Joey held onto me. "What are you doing?"
"You're going to go out and have some human food with us." Joey said, making Seto and Mokuba look over at him. "And there's nothing you can do about it." He stick his tongue out as I punched him. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"
"Don't lose my ride home, idiot!" I yelled as Seto through me something and I caught it with my hands. "Well, I think a miracle happened. Seto gave me a cell phone! Oh, God… Is it the end of the world?"
"Listen, Emily. Call when you need a ride home." Seto spit out as he turned away, with little Mokuba looking back at me, then his brother, then me, and walked with his brother.
"Well, it's nice that he did that for me…" I murmured as I put my head down.
"How about we go to Domino Plaza? There's some wonderful restaurants there, and I'll pay for it." Yugi said as I looked down at him.
"Yugi, how about we each pay for our meals?" I suggest as he looked up at me.
"But, he didn't give you money, did he?"
"Well, he DID give me a credit card…" I pointed out and flashed it to the guys.
"Oh, hell ya! Let's go spend it!" Joey exclaimed as I shook my head. We four decided to walk towards the exit that led outside.
"I would love to, in a heartbeat… But…"
"But what?"
"She doesn't want to because she feels that if she does, she'll probably have to pay Kaiba back, and she doesn't have the money." Yami explained as I nodded.
"Right to the point. I'll use it for emergencies, and food…" I pointed out as I sighed, wanting to use it so bad.
"Ah, well… It's your choice." Joey mentioned. I nodded as we stepped outside, feeling the warm air, for once. "So, do ya think ya can walk?" I nodded, again, as he let me down, gently.
"Thanks…" I uttered as he nodded and we walked in silence to the plaza.
I need to watch out… Even though this tournament is over, and this girl has appeared, I have got to be very careful… Someone might be out to get me, or one of my friends…
As we made out way towards the plaza, I had my eyes set on one place.
"Hey, can we go have some hamburgers tonight?" I suggested as the guys nodded.
"Sounds delicious!" Joey rubbed his hands together as I started to smile.
"Hey guys!" We heard a girl yell as we turned around and saw her running at us. She was-
"Téa! What are ya doing here?" Joey asked as she decided to take a breath.
"I found this in a café! It says that there is a Ancient Egyptian Museum coming within a few days!" Téa explained as Yami grabbed it out of her hand.
"Are you serious?" I cried out as I looked over at the magazine.
"Wait. How old is this magazine?" Joey asked as Yami looked at the cover.
"It says… May twenty-ninth, twenty ten."
"And when is the exhibit comin'?"
Yami looked in the place where he marked it with his finger. "June second, twenty ten."
"And today's June first."
"Which means the exhibit is going to be here tomorrow!"
"Why is Ishizu coming back?" Yugi brought up as Yami shrugged.
"That's a good point… Maybe the exhibit does a comeback every few months?" Yami suggested as Yugi shrugged as well.
"Who's she?" Téa asked the group as I looked over at her.
"Hi. I'm Emily Johnson."
"AH! I know you! You're the girl duelist who won over Wesley Caraway and became the National Champion Duelist!" She exclaimed as I nodded and she hugged me.
"You must… be a fan." I uttered as she let go of me.
"Yes! I learned so much about your duels!"
"That's good!" I uttered as she smiled.
"Man, it's such an honor to meet you!" Téa announced as I smiled as Yami handed her the magazine back.
"We'll have to go tomorrow." He pointed out as Téa walked with us.
"I have to too." Everyone looked at me. "I need to find out who that girl is, even though Yami already knows her… And I wanna know before my life is in danger."
"I won't blame ya." Joey agreed as I nodded.
"So, Téa, would you like to join us for some food?" I suggested as she shook her head.
"I would, but I have extra stuff to do." Téa announced as the guys looked at each other.
"Extra stuff?" Joey's eyes rose as he asked. Téa nodded.
"Yep. I'm taking dance classes in the city, and I have to get there. We learn something new everyday, which makes me so excited!"
"Well, I hope you have fun, and show me your dance moves later on." I pointed out as she nodded.
"Definitely! Bye guys!" She yelled and ran off to the dance studio.
"Well, she didn't seem too bad. She seems nice."
The guys shrugged and entered the restaurant with me. We decided on where to sit, a booth, and the guys sat down, one in each booth. I panicked here.
Oh, why did they have to do this? Man, and I wanted a booth for myself.
"Are you gonna sit down, Emily?" Yami asked as I nodded and decided to sit next to Joey and Yami next to Yugi.
I think I am bringing those two together, on accident. Like, I try not to put them together, when I wanna, but gosh! This is giving me a headache!
"Hi, I'm Heather, and I'm your waitress for tonight. What would you like to have to drink?"
"Oh… I would like some water, please." Yugi said as Joey thought for a moment.
"Well, I would like a Mountain Dew."
"Make that two waters." Yami pointed out as she looked over at me.
"And you ma'am?" She asked as I nodded.
"I would like to have some sweet tea, with no lemon, please."
"Alrighty…" She wrote all that down on her notebook. "I'll be back in a few." She left as Yugi looked over to me.
"So, you said that you were from America?" Yugi asked, and I nodded.
"Do you know any other languages?" Joey asked as I nodded.
"Not a lot. I know Spanish, 'cause I took it my Junior year, which I just finished, and I know a little, teeny, tiny bit of Japanese, like 'Thank you', or 'everyone', or 'sorry', tiny stuff." I explained as Joey crossed his arms.
"Well, while we wait on our drinks, how about you say something in Spanish, since we've just took Spanish as well (AN-Idk if Japanese students have another language class, other than their main language and English, but now they do!), and we'll try to figure what you're saying." Yugi suggested as I nodded.
"Okay, let me think of something…" I thought for a little bit as I snapped my fingers. "Okay, here's one, it's sort of easy: Lo siento."
"That's… I'm sorry?"
"Yep! Let me give you a little harder one: Me encanta jugar al tenis."
"Hmm… I think it's 'I love to play tennis?'"
"You're good, Yugi." Yami mentioned as Yugi blushed!
OH! He has feelings! Man, this is so cute!
"Well, I like the class, and like to listen. Unlike someone I know!" Yugi pointed to Joey, as he looked innocent.
"Well, excuse me! The teacher has it out for me! First couple days I'm in the front row! Next to Seto, and Yugi! THAT was damn torture!" Joey explained.
"Oh, relax. I was in the front of the room for the whole school year, the same with my friends, and I didn't die." I pointed out as Joey huffed, and crossed his arms.
"So, do you play tennis back home?" Yugi asked as to kill the mood.
"Yep. Second best on my team!" I pointed out as Yami smiled.
"Congrats. How many are on the team?" He asked as I shrugged.
"Well… There were twenty, the majority of them in 6th and 7th grade… By the end of the season… Around twelve-ish."
"What happened?"
"I guess some of them didn't like it, because the upper classmen, four of us, including me, were doing fantastic for our first year, and they give up. Either that, or they hated to run."
"Well, they're some stupid girls."
"Joey!" Yugi hushed as the waitress was give us our drinks.
"So, you ready to order?"
"Yep." I looked to all the guys. "Just give us all a cheeseburger, with fries. Is that what you guys would like?"
They nodded and the waitress wrote it on her little notebook, nodded, and left.
"So, Yugi. Let me give you one more, and if you know the answer, don't say it outloud. I want Joey to try it."
"Oh, okay. Go for it."
"Alright… Le odio SK, mucho!" (AN-Okay, I only had Spanish I, and I hope this is sort of right.)
"Why did ya say- Oh, I get it." Yugi laughed as Joey crossed his arms, thinking of what it was.
"Hmm… I think the first part is 'He…' and I am thinkin' on what 'odio' is…" Joey murmured as I smiled.
"Oh, Joey. You SHOULD know this."
"Give me a minute."
"What does mucho mean, silly?" I asked as he blinked for a second.
"Much- OH! I know it! Ya said, 'Ya hate SK much!' "
"So close! It was: He hates SK much."
Yami was trying to hold a laugh in as I smiled.
"See! He even knows what it means!" I laughed as Yugi joined in.
"Emily? Yugi? Yami? What th' heck!" Joey huffed out as I shook my head.
"Do you even know what the initials SK are?"
"Ohh… Wait, I know this one!" Joey thought about this for a good minute.
"Joey…" I singed as he nodded, and was holding a fist up to my face. "He got it…" I covered my head as he gave me a noogie.
"You smart, silly girl! SK! You could of just said th' name!"
"No, you would of freaked out!" I said as he covered my neck with his arm. "Now, get off of me."
"No! What if I don't wanna?" I punched him in his stomach and he let go, moaning in pain, and grasping his stomach.
"Geez… A girl punches you there… You're very weak." Yugi cracked up as I smiled, trying to contain my laugh.
"I told you to get off of me." I told him, again.
"Well, it's girl! I have to be gentle wit her." He pointed out as he tried to hit Yugi on the head. He somehow calmed down as he breathed in and out.
"Here comes our food." Yami pointed out as Heather dropped our plates off, and she said to enjoy our meals.
"Oh, I will!" I whispered as Joey snickered. "Just eat your food."
And we stuffed our faces, like we never ate food for a week!
"Ahh… That was delicious!" I cried out as we walked outside into the cool air. It was late May, and it was so nice over here!
"I have to agree… Maybe I should go get another-"
"Joey, we have to get you away from here." I pointed out as Yugi nodded.
"Fine fine. So, what now?"
"I think we should go home. It is getting late."
"Well, starting tomorrow, meet at the game shop, ten o'clock sharp!" Joey suggested as I nodded.
"That's good. Well, see you guys later." Yami said as he and Yugi went to the left of the restaurant, and we waved back.
"See ya tomorrow." I called out as they walked ahead of us. I looked over at Joey and he seemed to be… sad? Mad? Scared? His face said so many things…
"Emily… Isn't Kaiba supposed to pick ya up?" He murmured as I nodded and got my cell phone out. I dialed as Joey walked a little bit ahead of me, stopping as he turned around to face me.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I need a ride home." I said, melancholy.
"Is everything alright?"
I turned around and lowered my voice.
"I think there's something up with Joey."
"What about the mutt now?"
"Listen, Seto. I'm not in the mood for you and your name-calling. I just have a hunch that something's up with Joey's family…"
"How sure are you about this?"
"Very sure. I just want him to stay with us, just tonight."
"Emily." Kaiba and Joey said at the same time. I jumped a foot in the air as I blushed.
"Just get over by Domino Plaza." I said and hung up, putting the phone in my pocket.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm just exhausted." He assured as I shook my head.
"Your face looked like you were sad, mad, scared to go home! Joey, if there's anything wrong, you call me and I'll be there for you." I promised as he nodded.
"I will, Emily." He said as I put my phone number in his cell phone.
"Joey…" I murmured as I sat down on the ground, drew my knees up and put my head down. I was waiting for Kaiba to come.
"Emily, you know that I'll be fine." He assured as I looked up at him.
I'm don't believe him… How can I?
"Sure… Okay." I murmured as he shook his head.
"Well, I'm not gonna leave 'til Kaiba gets here, if that makes you feel a little better." Joey sat down next to me as I looked up at him. I nodded, and just stayed in my position.
Not really…
After what seemed like an awkward five minutes, a black limo came up and Kaiba jumped out.
"Well, looks like he's fine to me. Only that the mutt needs a little bath because his hair is a mess." Kaiba played with his hair as Joey slapped his hand away. We both got up as I shook my head.
"Let's just go… He said he's okay, so let's go." I told Kaiba as I walked in the limo. Kaiba was a step behind me.
"Kaiba." He turned to see Joey behind him. "Tell Emily… Tell her that… I'll see her tomorrow." Kaiba huffed and shut the door behind him, leaving Joey to walk back to his home, alone.
I closed my eyes, wishing that Joey would of listened to me.
"What were you so worried about the mutt?" Kaiba interrupted my thoughts as I looked over at him, with concern, and an evil glare.
"Listen, when we were playing around in the restaurant, waiting for our food, I punched him on his stomach, lightly, and he moaned. He has to be hurt there. I'm just surprised that no one noticed it…" I pointed out as Kaiba crossed his arms.
"So, you're saying something is going on over at the mutt's home?"
Ignore the name-calling. Just ignore it.
"Yes! I think, no, I KNOW that there is! He just won't admit it…"
"I have a plan…"
I crossed my arms.
"What's your brilliant plan?"
He just huffed at me. "Well, I'll check into his background, with his family, and I'll give you the details when I get them."
"Since when did you care about Joey? You've been name-calling him since I've been here. I think that rude, and that you're such a rich ass." I name-called him as he grinned.
"What if I am? Besides, I think that you need to stay out of my business."
"What are you going to do about it?" He moved a little closer to me as I blinked. "You better watch who you're moving towards." I warned him as he laughed.
"Oh, you know you love it."
"Puh-lez. The only thing I love is my friends, and with your, suggestive movements, I know you want something." I moved away from him as he moved closer to me.
"I do want something…"
"Seto! Stop!" He glared at me as the car stopped abruptly as I flew out of my seat. I closed my eyes, put my hands in front of me, and opened them, slowly. I wasn't on the ground, but I wished I were.
"You could of hurt your head, klutz." Kaiba murmured as I blushed and he pulled me up into his embrace.
Don't blush! Don't you dare, Emily! He's trying to use you and wants to get to someone else! Don't blush!
Great… I just blushed!
"Oh, just shut up." I snarled as he looked down at me and I looked away.
"Are you… turning red? Oh, you like this!" He cried out as I shook my head, trying to get out of his embrace.
"Seto…" He glared at me. "If you don't like me calling you by your first name, then let me go." He shook his head as he looked out the window.
"No, I'm not going to. Besides, we got a good few minutes before we get home."
"What are you doing? D-don't you dare try anything!" I pointed out.
"Emily… Give me a break. I know that you've had a crush on me since the first day you saw me." I shook my head as he put me down on the seat next to him.
No… Not a BIG crush… A little, teeny, tiny one… Not even a crush… We're only friends! I don't like him! I think…
"I don't Seto. And I'm going to call you by your first name until I leave Japan." He shrugged and held onto my hand, next to me.
I don't like where this is going! I don't like it one bit!
"Oh, you know you'll like it… I'm the best and one of a kind." He whispered into my ear as I gulped, wanting to get a good punch on him.
"No-I-won't-like-it-Seto, -please-don't-do-this-because-this-is-going-to-be-my-first-kiss-and-I'm-not-ready-for-it-" I said so fast and closed my mouth. He smiled at me as I put my head down on my lap, blushing so red.
"Oh… Your first kiss, eh? Well, at least let me, a pro, do it..." He lifted my head, still blushing as he grinned, evilly.
"S-seto… I don't wanna… I don't hate you, it's just-Not again!" I put my head down, again, as he laughed.
"I just like it when you make a fool of yourself… You make me laugh." He continued to laugh as the limo stopped, and I jumped out of the limo. I wanted to punch that jerk where it hurts!
"Don't talk to me." I said as he walked behind me and I opened the door, slamming it in his face. I walked upstairs as Mokuba waved to me. Kaiba opened the door and walked in, his laughter gone.
"Emily, give me a chance!" He yelled as I turned around and gave him my tongue.
"No!" I turned to Mokuba. "Can you tell me where my room is?"
"Oh, yeah. It's down the hallway, make a right, and it's the first room on your right."
"Thanks." I said and walked down the hallway, trying to think of ways to kill Kaiba. Mokuba walked downstairs, crossing his arms, as Seto walked up to meet him.
"What did you do this time?" Mokuba asked as Kaiba sighed.
"She told me some stuff… And I was being a jerk…" Kaiba walked upstairs towards his room as Mokuba turned around as he disappeared.
Following him, Mokuba sighed. "Brother… What am I gonna do with you?"
"Help me?" He suggested as Mokuba crossed his arms. Kaiba made it to his door, and shook his head. "Listen, Mokuba." He got closer to him. "Is there a way you can cut the electric off for a good thirty minutes?"
"You want me to do something… bad?" Mokuba stressed bad as Kaiba nodded.
"Well, tell the staff first, then let Roland help you." Mokuba nodded as Kaiba grinned like there was no end. Mokuba disappeared from the hallway, and Kaiba opened his door, grabbing the closest flashlight, and flashing it on.
Well, it works at least. Now, if Mokuba can do this, I'll treat him.
I was in my room, trying to let steam out. I walked over to my bed, and took off my belt, and noticed a note on my bed.
Emily, the maids put all your clothes away. On the back of this is is where your clothes are located.
-Mokuba-
"That's nice!" I smiled as I flipped it over. "Let's see… Night gowns…" I found it towards the end of the list: in the brown drawers, third from the top. I smiled when I found my pj's, and decided to put on the one's that was a long t-shirt, made by my friends for my birthday, and shorts.
Even though it's nice out, it's hot as heck in this mansion! Don't they ever control the AC?
"I just can't believe him! Seto! He was trying to make a move on me!" I said to myself, putting my clothes in a hamper, in the bathroom, and sat on the bed. "And I let out two secrets! Geez… Me and my big mouth…"
I really don't like him because of the excessive name-calling on Joey, but somewhere, in this poor heart, I like him… But, I adore Joey! He treats me like a little sister, which is nice and all. However… Why do I have to like him too?
I put my hand to my forehead as I closed my eyes. As I reopened them, I sat up. I blinked several times as I shook my head.
"The electric did not just go out… Oh, I swear, I've had bad luck ever since I lost to Yugi-Wait… did I lose? Oh well, that doesn't matter. Now, I gotta find a flashlight…" I found the wall, and lead myself to a window.
There was a knock on my door as I yelled, "Come in!"
"Hey, all you okay?" I sighed as I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, Seto. I'm fine. I just wished I had a-" He shined the flashlight in my eyes. "-A flashlight. Put that down!" I closed my eyes as he apologize.
"Why is the electric out?"
"I asked Mokuba, and he said that as they were fixing a broken light bulb in the living room, and the power just went out."
"That's weird…" Kaiba and I met halfway; he was being my guide dog, sort of…
"Well, is there a flash light in this room?" I asked as he shook his head.
"No, but I have another in my room."
"Oh… Okay… Well," I grabbed on to his shirt, "-lead the way."
Kaiba and I walked towards his room, a couple rooms away from mine, as he pulled me into his room.
"Let me light a few candles…" I nodded as he walked towards his bed, got the matches, and lit five candles: one by his bed, one in his bathroom, one by a window, one by the door, and one by his own fireplace.
I've got a good idea! Light the damn fireplace!
"Oh, this is nice." There. His room was lit up a little bit more as I gripped the sides of my shirt.
"Can you give me a second? I gotta change into my pajamas."
"Oh, okay. I'll just turn away." I blushed as he sighed.
"Aww… I wanted someone to see me change… And watch everything…" He murmured to me, only a few feet away as I shook my head.
"Just change, Seto. Please!" I said as he nodded, and changed, right behind me.
I want to see, so bad! But, I don't want to... Wait! You're trying to get my first kiss! Geez, and he thought I was stupid!
"Seto, I know you're plan." He pulled up his pants and turned to face me.
"What plan?"
"You're trying to get my first kiss. I'm not dumb, ya know." I pointed out as he nodded.
"I know. I knew you would get it." He put his shirt on and was buttoning it up.
"Then," I turned to face him, "how come you wanted me to know?"
"Because…" He walked towards me, finishing buttoning up, not even buttoning the last two. "I want to know more about you."
"Seto… Please…" I walked over to the little couch he had, next to the fireplace, as he sat next to me. I drew up my legs as he put his hand on mine.
"I know that you have had a boyfriend."
"I did… But, I didn't like him."
Kaiba was getting somewhere, and I didn't even know it.
"Why?"
"During the nine weeks we went out, we only hugged. We didn't kiss, we didn't hold hands, and we didn't do anything a NORMAL couple did."
"Well, why didn't you make the first move?"
"Because I love it when the guy makes the first move. I think its more romantic, in that sort of way…" Kaiba smiled as I put my head down. "I think that he was scared to move ahead, and I knew that when he stalked me-"
"He stalked you?" Kaiba exclaimed as I looked up at him.
"I was taking notes, in two of my classes, and during those classes, he interrupted them, both! It was so embarrassing, and I knew it was over. I broke up with him, his first girlfriend he actually had…" I crossed my arms and tried not to cry.
"Emily…"
"I didn't wanna hurt him, it's just… I didn't think we were made for each other. I told him, as I gave him a letter, that I hope we could stay friends. And, I broke up with him on his graduation day… I feel like junk…"
"You're not junk." I looked up, tears falling from my eyes. Kaiba was taken aback as he grabbed my face with his hands.
She must have cared for him… Somehow…
"Seto, I broke up with him! I don't know if I can have another boyfriend… He wasn't bad, it's just everyone thought I should, and I listened to them because they were my friends, and it seemed that he didn't even know what was going to happen!" I cried out as Kaiba embraced me.
"Emily… I know that when you have that special someone, you don't want them to get hurt by anything. You would want them to be protected from everything." I nodded.
He knows… the right words…
"Yeah… That's right." I uttered as he let me go. My tears were easing up as he held on to my hand. "How do you know when to try again with some else?"
"Honestly, you probably don't know…" Kaiba uttered as I closed my eyes. "But, it'll happen, again. The heart needs to heal, and it takes time for it to heal properly…"
I want to kiss her… But, she'll be scared, I feel like she will be… Should I give it a shot?
"You're right… I'm moving on, but after a while, I have to wonder and think, 'Is he still okay? Is he moving on without me? Has he found someone new?' And I want to know, but I can't. That's why I have to move on." Kaiba nodded as he put his hands up to my face, wiping the tears away. "But, I wonder if he thinks if I found someone new?"
"Emily… Please…"
I looked up at Kaiba, after I opened my eyes.
"What?" I whispered as he glanced down to me.
"Will you be able to move on?"
"Move on?"
Am I saying it right? Damn, I got to be careful… I don't want to hurt the girl more… And… I can't love her… Not yet.
"Will you… be able… to move on… with me… at your side…?" I blinked as I gasped.
He wants me… to be with him? Oh, no… I don't know what to think!
Emily put her hand on Kaiba's hand, holding it dearly.
"Seto… I'm not… sure… I think I can move on… But…"
"Let me show you… Please… I need another chance at this…" He looked down at his lap as I gasped.
"S-seto? Has your heart been hurt as well?" He nodded as I closed my eyes.
Damn… I didn't want my emotions to get in the middle of this! I just told her the most awful lie ever! My heart has been hurt, but not this recently! Emily! God!
"Emily…" I gotta make my move, here and now. "I… love you…"
I looked up at him and he looked up at me at the same time.
"But, you just met me! You can't possibly-!" I cried out as he embraced me, again.
"Emily… I know… We just met… I want this hole to be covered up… I just need to have someone heal my heart!" Kaiba cried out, as he didn't let me go.
I'm so sorry… Emily… I'm lying to you… I can't believe I'm doing this! I'm lying to an innocent girl…
"Seto…"
Forgive me, Emily…
Seto looked up at me, and moved his hands to my face, again. I was blushing like a fire truck, and he knew it. Even in the middle of the little power outage, I knew that my emotions would get the best of me. He moved his face closer to mine, making me blushing even darker.
Is this going to be it? Is there where I abandon my hope in finding new love? Is this a new beginning?
I would never know if my questions would be answered. Just as his lips brushed my own, he tilted his head, leaned in… And the lights came back on, just like that. I fell off the couch, along with Kaiba.
"Well, that was kinda, bright." I said as I tried to open my eyes. Since I have a stigmatism, it took me a second to focus my eyesight. I saw Kaiba on top of me, his hands above my head, and his body on top of my own. I was taken aback as I yelled and he opened his eyes. I slapped him and pushed him off of me.
The door to his room swung open as Mokuba came in.
"What happened? I heard yelling!"
"Tell your perverted brother to stay away from me!" I told as I walked out of his room, and back to my room, slamming the door when I got back.
Kaiba put his hand up to his face and rubbed it.
"I'm sorry brother… I waited thirty minutes, like you said." He got up and rubbed Mokuba's head.
"It's okay… Just… Go to bed. I'll see you in the morning." Mokuba nodded, and said goodnight. "Damn… That girl has a strong slap!" He blew all the candles out, sighing as he walked over to his door, and turned off the lights. The only light was the moon that shined in his room from the windows. "I am a jerk… Should never toy with a girl's feelings… At night, and alone…" He rubbed his cheek, again, and went to bed, somehow.
Back in my room, I went straight to bed, not wanting to see anyone.
He messed with me! Seto was playing with me! I'm so MAD!
I grunted and closed my eyes. I didn't want to see him anymore…
Should have gone home with Joey. Wait. Speaking of Joey… I hope he's okay… I hope he'll call me…
I laid awake, for a few minutes, until my mind settled down, and my heart relaxed.
"I know he'll call me if something's wrong… Oh, God… Don't prove me right." I uttered and somehow fell asleep in the big bed.
Seto and Joey… So far, Joey seems to be sweet. He treats me like a little sister… Yet, I'm a little older than him, I think…
Seto, on the other hand, treats me like meat! What, am I the meat he's trying to give to his mutt, Joey? Trying to eat all the parts of the meat before giving the bone to the dog? What am I doing? I'm comparing myself to meat… I think I need a good rest… But- No. I need to sleep. Relax, and think on the positive side: Tomorrow will be a better day. I hope.
YAY! So, whatcha thinkin' of? :)
Oh, and is Seto really that... aggressive? IDK...
Please don't forget to review! I would be so happy and thankful!
