MythCreatorWriter: Nah, I really can't stand any of them, although they do give me hope that if those guys can become famous and get TV shows and make movies… well hot damn, I can make money off of writing somehow! That seems mean… oh well. Oh darn! I forgot to mention that I only had Seth break out singing because I'm such a die hard Billy Joel fan! Gah…(it's something I don't think anyone would guess about me, I freakin' love Billy Joel and I think there's only one other person who appreciates him as much as me, hmm… haha) I have a lot of fun with Seth's character, and you'll probably be able to tell that I had even more fun in this chapter. Thanks for the review!

Angel Diary: Oh god… you compared Seth to Joey… now I might have to kill him off D: Lol, just kidding… sort of. *takes a mental note to consider killing Seth off* I'm just kidding, although I do have a rather strong dislike for Joey and I feel like Seth is a bit less useless than Joey is… but ANYWAYS, yeah, I need to make people like Noah a bit more. I feel bad since it's clear I have a bias against him. I work on that a bit in this chapter though… but only for a bit, haha. It is a love triangle and it gets even goofier! Thanks for the review and enjoy the chapter!

Rena Redhead: BOUT TIME YOU REVIEWED. Hahaha, I'm just kidding! I like how most of your first paragraph was talking about how much you loved everyone, hahaha, you're such a cute kid. And thanks again for listening to me for a straight up hour about this story! You poor thing, I'm sure we scared the crap out of your roommate though :p It's just the kinda thing you would expect from two crazy writers like us though, am I right? Hahaha, anyways… let's see, the rest of your review is just talking about how much you love the chapter… GEE THANKS!;D Hahaha, oh, and this story idea? I don't think it came from the same car ride… all I can remember was that it was one of the couple times you had driven me to my mom's apartment (and it was the same night that I got locked out and had to wait for my dad to pick me up at midnight from her apartment because she wouldn't wake up.) Or maybe not… I really can't remember. Anyways, thanks for the review! Enjoy!

Episode 6: Heat of the Moment

The mood was set for romance… or at least, it would've been, had Seth not just burped four times after eating.

"Really Seth? Really?" Mokuba asked, trying his best to act mature and hide a laugh. Seth grinned.

"Sorry, I can't help it after finishing a good meal," Seth turned to Kisara, whom was still in the process of eating what she had prepared only moments before for the entire group, "Hey, by the way, thanks for the grub. I didn't know you were good at cooking too." Kisara smiled. It was the first time Seth had seen her smile that day. His face melted with compassion.

"I've gone camping a lot. Growing up, I loved the woods, I was obsessed with nature. I use to beg my mom every night to let me sleep outside in the backyard. It was great," Kisara said, thinking back fondly on the memories.

"Yeah… I agree. I mean, camping kind of sucks, but I can't say I hate it. I do it all the time myself." Kisara turned to Seth in interest.

"You camp a lot too?"

"Oh yeah… not because I want to, but I do," Seth started to chuckle as he thought of something, "I think the reason I was so ticked about us camping was because I decided to be on this show only after learning that I'd get to live in a house for six months. And look at me now, camping again. Isn't that ironic?" Everyone had stopped eating and was staring at Seth.

"What do you mean you only came to this show because you would live in a house? Don't you live in one already?" Noah asked, bringing forth what was on everyone's minds. Seth shook his head. Kisara's eyes widened.

"You're homeless?!"

"Well, not exactly… I crash at my friends' houses usually, but yeah, I don't really have a home for myself."

"But… but… what about your parents?! Where are they?" Seth thought for a moment and scratched his chin.

"Hmm… that's actually a good question." Mokuba fell backwards and leaped onto his feet.

"You don't know where you're parents are?! What's the deal??" Seth laughed.

"Calm down everyone, no reason to start a riot. My parents are both very important people, so they travel a lot. I don't see them very often and… gosh, I wonder when the last time I heard from them was… I can't even remember, but oh well. I think they were in Africa though when they last called. They're probably not there anymore." Now everyone was staring at Seth with sympathy. No one knew what to say. All of them decided it would be best to say nothing at all.

Seth: I don't see it as a depressing thing. I mean, it's just how it is. I've lived at my friends' houses ever since I started high school. I don't think my parents own our home anymore; they've been gone for so long. My parents have been gone practically all my life; I was raised mostly by baby sitters and maids. I don't see it as something bad; it's the life I know for the most part. Why is that sad?

Seto wasn't the greatest in most social situations, but that didn't mean he was dumb. He could feel the awkwardness that had arisen from what Seth had shared and thought it would be best to break it with a proposal of his own.

"I think it's about time we get to bed. It's getting late." Both Noah and Mokuba moaned simultaneously.

"But-"

"I don't want to hear another word about it, into the tent, both of you." Slowly Noah and Mokuba sulked their way into the smaller of the two tents. Seto got up from where he sat and turned to Seth.

"Are you coming?" Seth shook his head.

"No way, man. Sleeping in that small of a tent with a bunch of guys is just… well, it's creepy." Seto shrugged.

"Suit yourself." Seto disappeared into the tent where Mokuba and Noah could be heard arguing over where they wanted to sleep inside the tent. Kisara smiled at the sound of it and how childish it seemed, but the arguing decreased and soon there was silence once more. She turned back to the fire.

Kisara: Seto Kaiba? No, I don't like him. I mean, I do; I think he's a fine man, but I don't like him in that way. We barely know each other! I just admire him. He's got this thing about him… it's like, he's one of those people that you watch from afar and you just know he'll be a good father some day, you know? Whenever he's with the kids, he treats them like he would a son. It's really touching, a side of Seto Kaiba I don't think the public sees.

Kisara stayed awake for many hours into the night, her vision mesmerized by the flames of the warm camp fire. Hours seemed to fly by and her thoughts would drift a mile a minute. Sometimes she would think of Mokuba and his darling face; the way that his bangs covered his face most of the time, making it hard to really look him in the eye, and yet when he smiled, his face never seemed clearer.

Or Noah, how he was a brat most of the time, but there were a few instances where, in a moment of inattention, one could see him for the child that he truly was. When he achieved something, he had this child-like sense of accomplishment that was written across his expression, completely different from how he usually tried to act. It made him seem more real.

Kisara turned to Seth. He was asleep, curled up in his sleeping bag, on the other side of the camp fire. He too seemed much younger than he was when his guard was down. Seth seemed so calm and at peace as he slept with his arms stretched in all different directions. He looked happy. Kisara even notice him smile for a second, and it brought her happiness.

Seth's eyes opened instantaneously and he looked up.

"Kisara…? You're still awake?" Kisara nodded without shame; she didn't try to hide the fact that she had been watching him. Seth didn't feel the need to ask. "Can't sleep?" Kisara nodded again; she turned back towards the flames.

"Yeah… that's it. I tried to, but it didn't work out. I decided that waiting until the fire burnt out was probably the safest thing to do in the mean time." Seth chuckled. He got out of his sleeping bag and sat down beside her. The both of them for silent, just listening to the fire crackle and watching the stars twinkle above. Kisara looked away for a moment, bringing her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. She looked sad. Seth sat there for a moment, watching her, wondering what to do.

Seth: You should've seen Kisara's face; so sad, wishing for something more. I knew something was on her mind and I was just the guy brave enough to ask what was wrong. Any other decent human being would've done that, wouldn't they? I don't know, maybe it's not my place but… to put it plainly, Kisara is like an angel. And who wouldn't help an angel?

"Seth?" Seth was surprised to hear his name being called, he looked up. "Have you ever felt like you didn't belong?" Kisara asked him.

"Of course I have." Not having a home was something that, Seth would admit, would never quite make him feel like he belonged. But he felt that Kisara was feeling the way she did for different reasons. Seth straightened himself and listened.

"There was this one day in school; we were having one of those 'bring your parent to school' days so they could talk about their jobs. My Mom came and talked about her job and then she waited outside with the other parents. When we were done, all the children including myself ran out to greet our parents and… I just remember getting out of class, seeing the other children with their parents and then seeing my mom…" Kisara paused, "I don't know. I mean, I love my mom, of course I do, but the way we were compared to the other children… it didn't seem right. It didn't fit the picture.

"I guess what I'm saying is… I've always felt like an outsider, but in a different way. Like I belonged with certain people, but it wasn't the right time or place," Kisara chuckled thinking about it, "I'm sure you can imagine that this made dating difficult for me. I was always searching for one of those, 'right guy in the right places' and never really enjoying the present moment. I just felt like my present moment was somewhere else and I was missing it.

"That's why I want to become an actress. I think that maybe if I play the role of someone else, I'll finally be able to live in the moment rather than looking or searching for the time and place I belong. Maybe then I would stop wondering why nothing feels right." Seth placed his hand on Kisara's, staring straight at her in a way that let her know he was thinking of nothing and nobody else. Kisara didn't retract her hand.

"I know how you feel," He said calmly.

"No you don't…" Kisara replied in disbelief.

"No really, it's true… I feel the same way. I mean, if you look at Seto and I together, we look exactly the same, like we should be twins or something, and yet when I see him with the others; Noah and Mokuba and everyone… it's like the scene fits. He checks off. But if he's the one that checks off and we look exactly the same… where do I belong?"

Kisara: When someone opens their heart to you in a way that shows that they completely understand… you don't know what to think, you don't what to say… sometimes you just have to do. Some people just need to act upon the moment and hope the consequences aren't too severe.

Kisara and Seth's face were very close to one another now. Both of their eyes were locked on to one another; it was a massively intense moment that neither of them had anticipated would occur. It was a do or die situation; both of them knew what to do, but neither of them knew if it was right.

"Kisara…" Seth said.

"Yes?"

"Are you living in the present, in this moment?"

"…Yes." Their lips locked; the time between when Kisara had said yes and they had finally leaned in close enough to do so was history. The only moment that was living was the here and now; the interval of time where their lips were pressed onto one another and nothing else mattered. Kisara felt weak when Seth had pulled away; she had never experienced anything like that before.

"…I'm tired," was all that Seth said in reply afterward. Kisara was baffled to hear that was all he had to say. Seth got up and went over to his sleeping bag. "Good night." Kisara couldn't even muster the strength to say anything back; she was so stunned and astonished, both from the moment and Seth's action. The night grew quiet, but not for long.

"Kisara." Kisara's head twisted and looked back to where Seth was laying in his sleeping bag, his back was turned towards her. She felt a hand placed on her shoulder and jumped. Then she looked up.

"Seto?" Seto walked over to her and sat down. "What are you doing up?"

"I don't sleep very often. I try to get in half hour naps through-out the night, but that's all. Otherwise, I'm awake."

"Oh…" Kisara was even more taken back. Never in her life had Seto ever shared any kind of information with her. Scratch that, never in her life had Seto attempted to have a conversation with her! She had to wonder; was this for real? And how was it all happened RIGHT after Seth kissed her?!

"Do you need me to go?" Seto asked after minutes of silence.

"No, no… it's fine. Please stay." Seto remained where he seated. The fire he had built was still going strong hours after he had made it. It kept their attention before Seto spoke.

"So how are you doing? Are you alright?" It was like every time Seto said anything, Kisara became more confused. Seto was… interested in how she was doing? This didn't seem logical, somehow.

"I'm-I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?"

"So you haven't been harmed?" Kisara stared at him oddly.

"Of course not… what are you talking about? Is something wrong?" Seto looked down.

"Gozaburo… I'm afraid of him hurting you if he ever found out about… us."

Kisara: Us? US?! What could he have meant by us?! You guys get why I was so confused, right?! I mean, what girl has TWO romantic moments in the same night and one after the other?? This is crazy!

"Us?" Kisara managed to calmly ask, "What do you mean?"

"Yes… I have a feeling he might do something to you if he knew about our mutual friendship." Kisara nearly fell forward into the fire. Seto eyed her.

"Oh," She said, trying to appear semi-normal about it.

"'Oh' what? Are we not friends?"

"No, no, we are, I just thought-never mind. Why would Gozaburo care about that?" Seto sighed.

Seto: It's hard to explain to someone how evil Gozaburo is, especially if they've never lived with him. No one can ever understand the devil of a man he is unless they live with him, which is what I suspect everyone will learn soon enough as the months roll but… that is what I fear the most.

"Gozaburo… he's a mad man that everyone underestimates and doesn't realize what he's capable of. He would do anything to get to me since I own half of his company. He can't stand the fact that I'm the co-CEO… I have a hunch that is part of the reason Gozaburo didn't come on this trip with us." Kisara was serious now, putting her feelings aside and looking at the real issue. The way that Seto was talking about it let her know it was important, possibly something to be concerned with.

"Should we be worried?"

"No… but we should be cautious. Kisara, I may be putting you in danger. You have to distance yourself from me."

"But Seto…" Kisara wanted to give him all the logical reasons of why he shouldn't be afraid, that he was probably just over-thinking the situation. But then Seto placed his hand on Kisara's… he did it in a way that he hadn't even notice, as if he only meant it to be a gesture of communication, but Kisara was unable to focus.

"You have to do this for me… I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt… you're the first person I can actually stand." Kisara stopped drifting into a fantasy world for a moment.

"That makes me your friend?"

"That makes you so much more than that…" Kisara's eyes widened. Was Seto about to say…? "That makes you a good person." Kisara wanted to scream but she kept her mouth shut. She couldn't let herself keep getting distracted!

"Seto, hold on-"

"My advice to you is to stick with Seth as much as possible. I realize he's a moron, but he's the only person I can trust that will protect you with his life." Kisara was not only confused about the mixed messages Seto was giving her, but now the way he was talking to her had changed.

"You're talking to me as if you're going to leave."

"I might have to. I don't know what will happen otherwise. It's the only way to ensure your safety." Seto got up from the ground. Kisara had lost all the feeling in her body and therefore was unable to hold him back. Never the less, she wasn't about to just let him walk away without giving her answers.

"What about Mokuba? What about him?"

"He will be safe and that's all that matters," Seto attempted to walk away, but Kisara pushed herself to her feet. She wasn't up for very long, standing was difficult for her body to achieve and she fell into Seto's arms as a result, allowing him to support her in her one moment of weakness. Kisara looked up.

"Why do you have to run?"

"Because it's the only way I can save you." Seto slowly lowered Kisara back onto the ground. "You should get some sleep. You need your rest." That was the last thing Seto said before going back into the tent. And then he was gone and it was like the moment had never even existed. Kisara was breathless but at the same time…

She was exhausted. Kisara gave the situation no more thought; she just got up and went to bed. Things like would just have to be dealt with the following morning, when things could be more or less clear after a good amount of sleep.

The trees stood quietly as the last flame came up and the camp fire burnt out. The darkness of the night was now undisturbed, allowing the world to be at peace once more until sunrise.

A/N: It was the heat of the moment, telling me what your heart meant… heat of the moment, shone in your eyes! Haha, hey guys! Gotta love Asia, am I right? Anyways, so, you might've notice there were a lot of crazy things about this chapter. It was longer than usual, had fewer interviews, and… had ROMANCE?! I know, I was shocked when I wrote it too. I realize that a lot of this might be taking it too far, some things going on for a bit too long but… I don't really care :] I wrote it, birthed it, created it, and perfected it and if I didn't change it, it feels like it must be DESTINY(hahaha, I wonder where Yugi is in this story…) Anyways, so I hope you liked it and if you were confused, that's okay, because you're supposed to be, the next chapter shall provide any and all clarification, I'm sure. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!

P.S: I'm going to try and update at least once a week, just to let you guys know. With college and homework, writing has been a bit more difficult for me, but I still want to try and give you something at least once a week. If you wish for me to update sooner, I would suggest bugging Rena Redhead in a PM because that kid has my number, knows where I live, and is the only one who seems to convince me that I like my own story. Anyways, I best be going and putting this on the web. Thanks for reading… again!
