Remedy walked slowly back up to the mansion. A knot was wedged in her throat, threatening to choke her. She kept telling herself to breathe, that everything would be okay. But she knew she was in trouble. Seto was probably still enraged. She slowly knocked on the huge wooden door. She held her breath as they opened. Mokuba looked up at her.

"Hey! I thought you had left," he said, clearly puzzled.

"Something came up, I need to speak to Seto," Remedy told the young Kaiba.

"He's upstairs," Mokuba told her. "He seems pretty mad though."

Remedy gulped.

GREAT, she thought.

She slowly made her way up the stairs and to the door that she knew was Seto's room. She knocked on it. When there was no reply, she quietly opened the door. She looked around. Seto was no longer at his desk; he was lying down on the bed, once again with his back towards her.

"Seto?" she called to him, but Seto didn't even stir. "Seto?" she advanced towards him. "Come on," she was at his side now.

She realized that he was asleep. She didn't really want to wake him but she had to. She called his name again. Nothing.

THIS IS VERY STRANGE, UNLESS... she thought.

She clicked her fingers mere inches from his ear, but he didn't do so much as even grunt. She put her hand on his forehead. It was still warmish, but much better than it had been. But the instant that she had done that, Seto's eyes popped open and he turned to look at her.

"What do you want?" he asked in a low tone.

"I need to speak with you," she told him nervously.

Seto cocked an eyebrow.

"I was going to go home, but when I got there, the door was locked and there was a note on my door, telling me that my grandpa suddenly turned ill and they don't know how long they'll be gone," Remedy explained.

"So?" Seto growled.

"I need to stay here, with your permission," Remedy stated.

"I don't care, as long as you don't give out orders to me," Seto growled.

"Now, changing the subject, I've noticed something very interesting about you," Remedy stated.

"What?" Seto narrowed his eyes and growled deeper and more threatening than before.

"Well, it seems that every time you can't see a person, and they talk to you, you don't respond," Remedy stated.

"So, what's wrong with that?" Seto asked. "I simply think that if they don't look me in the eyes, they don't deserve my attention."

SHE BETTER NOT GET TO NOSY, Seto thought.

"Well, I know something's wrong," Remedy almost snorted.

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? she thought.

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? Seto thought.

That night, Seto was sitting in a chair, watching TV. Mokuba was nowhere to be found and Remedy was in her temporary room. Remedy was coming to ask Seto something. She was in the doorway of the living room, when she froze. Mokuba was crouched behind the couch that Seto was sitting in. Mokuba launched himself up and landed around Seto's neck. Seto stood up, swaying a little bit, then dropped to the ground and pulled Mokuba off. They wrestled on the ground for a while until Mokuba lay on his back, staring into his brother's blue eyes, pinned down and defenseless.

"Do you know what I do to people who jump on me?" Seto growled playfully.

Mokuba shook his head, even though he knew full well what was coming.

"I punish them," Seto growled playfully again, burying his fingers into Mokuba's sides and wiggling them like crazy.

Mokuba shrieked with laughter and joy. He loved it when they wrestled and Seto won because Seto always tickled him.

Seto seemed to enjoy it too. For the first time since Remedy had ever laid eyes on Seto, he was actually smiling. It wasn't a toothy grin or anything, but it was truly a genuine smile.

Now she realized something. Something that she now thought had something to do with Seto's distemper. She realized that Seto really was human. He had feelings and emotions just like everyone else. When he was around Mokuba, it was like he was a completely different person. He softened up and let his true feelings show. It was as if he had never been hurt. It was as if he were a child again, a teenager, a person his age. Remedy didn't know why, but everyone could tell that his childhood went by much quicker than most. He was practically an adult at the age of thirteen. And no one thought he was human. That may have been one of the things that turned him cold; the simple fact that everyone, besides his brother, forgot that he was human. She promised Seto silently that she would not forget that ever again.

After a while, Seto let Mokuba up. Mokuba quickly scampered up to bed, Seto close behind. That night, Seto's scar started to burn, which he knew meant trouble

What trouble's coming? I know, I know! Anyway, if you want to know, please be kind and review. Now, must find something to eat...
