Chapter 4
Disclaimer: Don't own Yugioh wishes she did
Thanks for coming back for another read of Chapter 4
I try to update my stories as often as I can.
A ray of morning sunlight shines in through Seto's glass window. He and Mai lie clenching onto each other with their eyes slightly closed. Mai brushes her golden hair along Seto's chest as she tilts her head to one side. Seto opens his sky blue colored eyes and looks down at Mai, who is lying to one side of him and holding his waist with both hands. He breaths heavily and attempts to take in what took place last night. How could something as innocent as a Ceremony for Yugi Moto bring two strong willed yet different people together in a way never thought possible?
Seto was not quite sure where he stood with Mai. He liked her there was no doubt about that anymore, but would it be too much of a risk for the cold hearted CEO to take his chances with a girl? Not just any girl either. Mai Valentine was a head strong, attractive woman who had used her feminine charms to get her by. They both held in their true feelings when they were around others, and did not like the company of too many people with questionable personalities. Seto was utterly shocked that he had told Mai what had happened in his past. Furthermore to show emotion was something the young man would not do. He continues to stare at Mai, who looks so helpless in arms like a baby clinging on to its mother for comfort and warmth. Mai was also very guarded and kept her personal worries and past memories to her self at all times. Yet last night in a moment of weakness, the feisty blonde opened up and told Kaiba about her mother and displayed feelings of sadness and need. Both Mai and Kaiba acted as if they needed nobody but deep down they were two of the most vulnerable people on the planet. Last night proved that. If only they were not so ashamed of their vulnerability.
Mai yawns and opens one lightly powdered eye. She wipes of sleep dust with her left hand and turns to look at Seto who is looking at the floor below, deep in his thoughts. "You think a lot "she murmurs, almost awake. Seto moves his top lip up and smirks a little. Seto rubs his pale eye lids and proceeds to get out of bed. He slips himself away from Mai and heads over to the bathroom for a shower. Mai sits up and twirls her hair. She looks at the rather large ceiling and sighs. "Say something" she whispers to herself while cringing. What could she possibly say? Seto would either want her or not and Mai would accept it and move on as she always did. Only this time it was different. Mai did not want Seto to just dismiss her like he had with other flirty females who showed a bit of interest. For some reason, the desire inside for the wealthy loner was so strong. Even her fiancé whom she was so close to marrying did not give her the butterflies that Seto did when they kissed. Mai slumps back into the comfortable satin bed. She plays with her thick golden earring she is wearing; Mai always twisted the piece of jewellery that pierced her ears when she was anxious. No one knew that Mai even became up tight very often and this was a good habit to help hide her inner feelings.
A loud knock pounds on Seto's securely locked door. Big bro it's me" Mokubas little voice echoes from the hall. Mai immediately jumps out of bed and bites her bottom lip. "Great now what?" she hisses. Thinking fast she runs up to the bathroom door and knocks lightly on it. Receiving no answer, she knocks again. After three attempts, she rolls her eyes and bangs rather loudly on the shiny blue door. Mai presses her ear up to the nicely polished door and tries to listen for the sound of running water. No sound can be heard from where she is standing. "Seto, where did you go last night?" "The driver said you went home with some girl" Mokuba yells in to the room. Mai gasps and sighs. "Brilliant" she says with a sarcastic smile. When no sound seems to be coming from the bathroom, Mai figures that the room must have noise control. Knowing what Seto Kaiba was like, he probably did not like being disturbed when he ha showers or typed on his lap top or did anything! Mai throws her hands in the air and shakes her head so her locks sway from side to side. Annoyed she barges on in to the beautiful bathroom, with everything clean and tidy. The spa lay in the centre of the large room and a glass shower in the far corner. Mai was surprised that the shower was not locked, but never the less walks up to the glass where a silhouette of Seto is standing. The sound of piercing shower water falling on him can definitely be heard from where she is standing. With her long varnished nail, Mai gently taps the pane of glass. "Seto" she says a little uneasily.
The shower door immediately swings open and Seto stands inside in his bareness. Mai clenches her teeth in delight as she sees Seto's toned body from, head to toe. The water trickles down his soft skin and he looks Mai in the eye. Mai crosses her arms and looks him over with an impressed grin on her face. "So this is why you don't lock your door" she half jokes with a seductive tone in her voice. Seto raises his eyebrows and nods lightly. "Well I though, considering you saw me last night" Seto replies in a somewhat friendly manner. Mai places her hand inside the shower and strokes it down Seto's soaking torso. "So what was it you interrupted my shower for?" he asks, reaching over Mai for a towel. "Well if you can call it interrupt" she replies, watching Seto dry himself. "Mokuba is at the door" "he said that some driver saw you go home with a girl" Mai informs in a less than pleased manner. Mai heavily resented being referred to as "Some girl" and was not shy about expressing the fact. Seto curls his lip in rage and storms out of the bathroom. Once he is dressed he unlocks the door and lets Mokuba in. "I better go" Mai says when she sees the shocked look on Mokubas innocent face. Seto holds his hand out in front of her as if to say "Stay right there". Oddly enough Mai doesn't move. She stands still in her silky purple night wear which showed off her curves and cleavage rather provocatively. "What is this I heard about me going home with some girl?" Seto questions his little brother with a furious disposition. Mokuba cowers a little. "Uh well no one knew where you and Mai were last night" he replies, blocking himself in case seto explodes all over him. "When I asked the driver he told me you had gone home with some girl" "no one knew it was Mai" Mokuba explains looking up at is older brother with a truthful eye. Seto folds his arms in bitterness. "I am guessing that the driver who told you was the same one who took you home as well?" he asks UN politely. Mokuba nods silently.
Seto grabs his black cell phone out of his pocket and rings the staff from his estate. "Jones now" he demands. Jones being the slacker who told Mokuba Seto's rendezvous with some girl. As soon as the driver answers, Seto goes completely mental at him, yelling and screaming into the phone. "My personal life is my business you got that you pathetic ingrate" Seto's words are harsh yet Mai finds it all quit amusing. Seeing him angry was a slight turn on for her that she could not help but smile. Mokuba could see the smile on the pretty blondes face and started to giggle himself. "Oh I see" Seto rants into the phone. "Well how would you like to be out of a job?" There is silence on the other end of the line for a moment. "Ha the only reference you'll get from me when you leave will be a negative one" "very negative" Seto informs coldly. "Oh and don't bother asking any of my management staff for one either" he spits before switching off his mobile ad sliding back in his pocket. Mai and Mokuba are both staring at him. He stares bluntly at his little brother. "Haven't you got school Mokie?" he asks, still seething. "But its Friday, no one else will be going after last night" Mokuba whines. Seto rolls his eyes at the dark haired cutie. "You can come back at midday but no earlier" Seto answers pushing him into the hall. "But Seto I gotta pack for Japan" Mokuba jumps up and down and pouts. Mai raises her perfectly made up eye brow in confusion. Seto was going to Japan? He would be out of her life forever or at least until she could get over there to visit him. With the wage Mai is on it seemed doubtful she would even get her rent paid for the week let alone spend it all on a trip for a guy she only knew from a few duels. "You can pack when you get home Mokie" Seto replies ushering him along the hall. "We leave tomorrow though" Mokuba grizzles a little. "No we go on Sunday" Seto corrects him, while continuing to gently push him in to his room.
When Seto returns, Mai is already zipping up her lacy dress from last night. Seto stands behind her confused. "Where are you going?" he asks stroking her back. Mai scrunches her hair back and turns around to face him. She manages to hold back the tears in her violet eyes, but they start to blur her vision when she stares at him. "You're going to Japan on Sunday Seto" she says sadly while at the same time trying to maintain her poise. Seto puts his arms on her bare shoulders and half smiles at her. "If you had no assumed the worst you would have found out that I am not planning on going back there alone" he replies. Mai wrinkles her little nose in confusion. "Well Mokuba is going I know that" she replies, still confused. Seto rolls his eyes and walks her over to his satin bed. "Mai" he begins, placing her on the bed softly. "You are not the person I thought you were you are unlike anyone I have ever met and I can not let this chance slip by" Mai quickly wipes a tear from her eye. "Are you saying what I think your saying?" Mai asks with slight happiness. Seto nods. "That's right Mai Valentine I want you to go to Japan with me".
