Thanks for the support so far, had a few people like my writing so far. Onto Chapter 4 of "Fire and Ice"
Kaiba snapped out of his daze from the laptop when he heard a screech from downstairs.
"No freaking way Mokuba, I'm not doing it," Caylee screeched.
"Oh come one Caylee, it's not going to kill you," Mokuba exclaimed.
"Hell will freeze over before I wear it," she screeched.
Kaiba sighed and saved his work.
He needed to separate the two of them before there was bloodshed – most likely Mokuba's blood.
He walked out from his office and downstairs to see Caylee warding Mokuba off with one of her crutches. Mokuba was clutching a purple dress and had several bags of clothes at his feet.
"Well what do you know? The mighty Caylee is afraid of a dress," Kaiba laughed.
Caylee looked up at him and glared, "You two are more alike than people think. Both conniving and embarrassing,"
He just snickered.
"Wearing a dress is not going to kill you Caylee and it would be easier to put on than pants with your cast," Kaiba said.
"I'm fine wearing trackies," she growled.
He had started to notice that over the few days she had been living with them, that she was stubborn to a fault and full of price. Two qualities he didn't see in a lot of people.
"Your loss," he said.
"Not much of a loss," she muttered.
Kaiba rolled his eyes – Caylee only ever muttered whenever she lost and argument.
"Just give up Mokuba, you know she's not going to give up easily," he spoke to his brother.
Mokuba sighed and put the dress back in a bag, "And here I was hoping we could actually see Caylee looking like a woman,"
Caylee gasped and then growled at Mokuba, "Why you little,"
That was when Mokuba decided to run for his life; Caylee struggled to catch up with him.
"Get back here, baka Mokuba," she cried. (A/N: Baka means fool, silly or idiot in Japanese)
Kaiba just shook his head and walked away. He knew that the two of them were at least getting along well enough.
Caylee awoke warm and comfortable. She enjoyed waking up in the bed from the first day she had stayed. It had been over six years since she had a permanent bed for over a week.
She had planned on falling back asleep until she heard shouting from down the hall.
"You did what?" Seto yelled.
Caylee sat upright at his yell. Seto only yelled at two people like that – her and Mokuba. Mostly because they had pulled a prank on him and it had royally pissed him off.
She sighed knowing that she wasn't going to get anymore sleep anytime soon.
"Oh come on Seto, having them over is not going to kill you," Mokuba cried.
"No but I might just kill you," Seto growled.
Deciding to prevent bloodshed, Caylee grabbed the first thing she saw from the bags Mokuba had bought.
She hissed when she realised it was the dress she had refused to wear but the shouts were getting louder and decided she didn't really care.
Limping out of the room, she found Seto and Mokuba glaring daggers at each other.
"They are not that bad Seto," Mokuba cried.
"Bad is an understatement," Seto growled.
Caylee had had enough. Placing two fingers in her mouth, she whistled very high-pitched, making them grab their ears at the intensity.
They instantly stopped and looked at her. Their eyes widened at what she was wearing, Seto even blushed.
"Looks like hell froze over," Mokuba smirked, remembering her words from the other day.
"Anymore remarks about the dress and you will eat one of my crutches," she growled angrily.
Mokuba gulped, obviously realising that she wasn't in a joking mood.
"Sit down," she ordered.
Both knew not to mess with her in this mood.
"Now that you two have decided to act like adults, do you mind telling me why you decided to ruin my good mood?" Caylee exclaimed, straining to stay upright with the crutches.
"We will if you sit down before you hurt yourself," Seto said, sounding almost concerned.
She wasn't going to argue with him when he was right.
Sitting down, she asked with a raised eyebrow, "Well?"
"Well I decided to invite a group of friends around to meet you and hang out because I know how bored you've been and I know you would like them," Mokuba reasoned.
"Well, I don't see anything wrong with that," Caylee said.
"Except for the fact that Seto seems to hate them and always argue them, I really like having them around but he won't let me," Mokuba cried.
Caylee looked over at Seto and saw that Mokuba had hurt him slightly but he was trying hard to hide it. He didn't fool her.
"Mokuba go play for now, I need to talk to your brother," she said.
Mokuba looked at her in confusion but did as she asked.
She limped over and sat on the couch, Seto was looking at her like she had grown another head.
"What's wrong Seto?"
"Nothing," he said, not looking in her eyes.
"Doesn't look like it from here," she said.
Seto glared at her and growled, standing up.
"You know what – I don't care! Mokuba can have his friends over. I have a company to run," he shouted, before turning and walking away.
'That's what the problem is – he had to grow up to run the company,' she thought.
If only he would open up to her.
Seto was typing away at his laptop when he heard a knock on the door, thinking it was one of the maids, he let the person enter.
"Wow sleek office," the person said.
He instantly recognized it as Caylee and looked up at her growling in annoyance. She had changed out of her dress into the tattered purple hoodie and a pair of new tracksuit pants.
"What do you want Caylee?" Seto growled, looking back down at his work.
"Well I wanted to see what you were doing, I was bored and Mokuba's waiting for his friends to come around, so I thought I would come and annoy you for a bit," Caylee said, limping forward, looking around the room.
"Well you succeeded with part of that," Seto continued.
He continued to ignore her until she began to look at some of the pictures that were on the wall.
"Wow you were so cute when you were little," Caylee exclaimed.
Seto looked up and raised an eyebrow, "How is it any different now?"
Caylee laughed and looked at him, "No where to do I start – tall, rude, lanky, got rid of your slight chubbiness and there seems to be no happiness in your eyes what so ever,"
Seto felt his heart twinge in sadness at her words even though he knew they were true. He just hated the fact that she had pointed it all out to him. Critising him without really knowing who he really was, just like everyone else.
"But I can also that there are some special qualities that the one in the picture doesn't have – pride, loyalty, strong sense of family, bit of a workaholic mind you but you fight to protect what you care about most," Caylee continued with a smile that was neither smug nor taunting.
A blush ran across his face at her words. It was like she saw both sides of him and accepted it, without judging him.
"My only question is – what happened? Shouldn't there still be a spark of childhood still preset inside you. What happened to the little boy holding his little brother?" Caylee asked, tilting her head in confusion.
He sighed, turning his chair, standing up and looked out the window in disbelief.
"He grew up," he muttered.
"Then I think its time you grew back down again. Forget responsibility if only for a little while and act like a kid," Caylee whispered as she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know how," he whispered.
A ruckus could be heard from downstairs, Mokuba's friends had arrived. Caylee looked at him with a wicked smile and grasped one of his hands.
"I know a way," she said, pulling him away.
A childlike fire burned in her emerald eyes and he couldn't help but be pulled in. He just had to follow.
Maybe he could find himself along the way.
Its going to get intersting now, she's going to meet Yugi and gang - see how she reacts to them and how they treat Seto! Read & Review please!
