Chapter Seven

Seto has been the happiest he'd ever been and it was all because of Ishizu and he didn't ever want that feeling to stop. They have been dating ever since and that night at the banquet she's fallen helplessly in love with him and she's never been happier.

Almost every day they have been either together or talking on the phone and neither of them wanted their time together to end. As the days became weeks and then into months their romance continued and their families were happy for them.

One afternoon while they were strolling along the street on their way to the Museum, Ishizu looked into the window of the most expensive jewelry store and the ring she saw there took her breath away and when Seto saw her expression he knew that someday that would be the ring he'd place on her finger when he proposed marriage to her.

Seto was being groomed to take over Kaiba Corp. and it was beginning to take up a lot of time that he wasn't able to spend as much time with her and what surprised him was that she understood and that made him love her all the more.

Ishizu was becoming more and more involved with the Museum and one day while she was helping her brother with some of the inventory he smiled as he watched her eyes light up as she saw the different things that the Museum was going to be getting from Egypt and he knew that one day she'd become the curator of the Egyptian part of the Museum.

One evening when they were together just sitting in Seto's car overlooking the entire town from the top of the hill, she smiled as she told Seto about her day at the Museum and he loved how her eyes lit up as she told him all about it.

Seto was so in love with her and he wanted to be able to spend every minute with her and that nothing would ever come between them, but he also knew that his dreams would never come true because he knew that the reality of the situation was that he was going to become the CEO of Kaiba Corp. and that would mean that he'd be spending less and less time with her.

One day while Ishizu was waiting for Seto to arrive Odeon said "Are you going to be able to handle this relationship if that company comes between the two of you?"

She smiled at him and then she said "I know that Seto's becoming more and more engrossed in Kaiba Corp. but I also know that he loves me and that he'll never allow anything to come between us so please stop worrying."

Just before Odeon could say another word the door bell rang and when he opened the door there stood Seto and as Odeon let him in he said "Please don't hurt my sister."

Seto didn't know what the hell he was talking about and before he could say one word Ishizu came and kissed Seto's cheek and she said "We'll be back later." Then they left to go to lunch.

In the car Seto didn't know what to say about what Odeon had said so he didn't say anything. As they were sitting at their table waiting for their order to arrive she said "My brother is worried that with your responsibilities at Kaiba Corp. is going to consume your time and that we'll be seeing less and less of each other and he just doesn't want to see me get hurt."

After lunch Seto drove to the Park where they got out of the car and as they walked around looking at the other people who were there and they heard the laughter of the children playing on the swings, Seto stopped walking and he took her hand in his and he said "Ishizu will you marry me?"

Ishizu smiled up at him and she touched the side of his head and she said "I'd love to tell you yes, but we've only known each for such a short time, and I think that we need to get to know each other better before I say that I'll marry you."

Then she kissed him and as his arms came around her and held her to him a tear rolled down his cheek as he came to the realization they might never get married at all.

As they walked back to the car and as he opened her door and she got in and he went to the other side and got behind the wheel and as he went to start the car she put her hand on his and she said "I love you with all my heart and I hope that you understand why I want to wait till we know each other better."

Seto turned and as he looked at this woman's beautiful face he leaned over and kissed her and then he said "I'll wait for as long as I have to and when you're ready to get married all you have to do is whistle and I'll come running back to you."

Ishizu smiled at him and then he started the car and as they drove down the road she closed her eyes and prayed that nothing would come between them and that one day she'd become Mrs. Seto Kaiba. When he pulled up in front of her house and as he walked her to the front door he took her into his arms and kissed her and then he whispered "I love you now and forever."

As she watched him walk back to his car a tear rolled down her face and she prayed that one day he'd becoming back to put an engagement ring on her finger and that they'd finally get married.

As she walked into the house Odeon saw the expression on his sisters face and he went over and hugged her and he said "I'm so very happy for you and I know that one day he'll be back and that you'll get married and be happy for the rest of your lives together."

When Seto got back to the Manor and he walked inside, Helga knew that her son was worried about something and she went to him and said "Son what's wrong?"

Seto put his arms around his mother and he said "I'm scared that we'll never get married because of my responsibility to Kaiba Corp."

Helga kissed his cheek and then she said "Son, I know that you think that things aren't how you'd want them to be but if you really want something bad enough it's worth waiting for it."

Seto kissed her cheek and then he went upstairs to his room and as he closed the door he went and sat on the bed and as he thought about what his mother had said he realized that what she had said was right and that if he really wanted to marry Ishizu that he'd have to work really hard to find time to be with her and that just maybe she'd change her mind and want to get married soon.

That night before he went to be he called Ishizu and as he heard her beautiful voice he said "I wanted to call and say good-night to the most beautiful Princess that I know."

Ishizu smiled as she listened to him and then she said "Thank you, and I want to say good-night to the man that I'm going to marry when the time is right. Good-night my handsome Prince."

When Seto hung up the phone and as he laid there staring at the ceiling he closed his eyes and he prayed that nothing would ever come between him and the lady that he loved, but then that prayer wouldn't ever be answered because even though he tried not to let it the responsibilities of being CEO did get in the way of his love for her.
