A Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction

Genre: Romance (defiantly) and a little humor/general

Rated: R (see below)

A/N: the high rating is because of swearing, violence, and very mature scenes. And when I say very mature, I mean all the way, and I mean early on. If you don't like to read that stuff, then exit out of this story right now. If you think that this stuff is freaking awesome, then I welcome you to my shrine!

: This isn't just a Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction, it also has Rurouni Kenshin and technically Avatar, but not really.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or any of its characters. Heck, I don't even own all of the made up ones!

Chapter 5-False Worries?

Hailey called the hospital before she visited Seto there, that way she'd be able to see if she could come at all and be able to see him. He was out of ICU and in a normal private ward. The nurse said he was having some temporary amnesia but he may be able to recognize her now.

She was afraid. They had shared something special, and he may never remember it. But she had to see him, to see if he did remember. And she had to be the polite one and tell him about it if he didn't.

When she made it to the hospital, she was told to wait because he was being tested by doctors. The nurse said it was standard procedure and that she should wait for him in the waiting room, but that didn't ease Hailey's conscience any.

While she was waiting, two people in dark jackets approached her. "Miss Ishtar, I'm Detective Shinomori and this is my partner, Officer Makimachi. We'd like to ask you a few questions.

Hailey sat down and waited. It was the girl to start. "So we've heard that you are here to se Mr. Kaiba, is that correct?"

What kind of questions are these? "Yes, I am, but what is this about?"

"Let's stick on subject, please, Miss Ishtar." The detective stated. "Now, on the autopsy report of Mr. Kaiba—"

"Wait!" Hailey exclaimed. "You only do an autopsy when the person is dead and—"

"Please no more interruptions, Miss Ishtar." Shinomori said. "Now as I was, the report said that there was semen on his private parts and we will have to take a DNA sample to see if it's in the semen."

"Now wait a minute." Hailey was worried, why the heck were they prying into this matter? And how did they know that there was semen in his privates? And why did they say that it was in an autopsy report? "Don't you need a warrant for this matter?"

Makimachi faltered. "Well…no, we don't, because the victim—"

"THERE IS NO VICTIM!" Hailey shouted. "Seto Kaiba is not dead!"

"MISS ISHTAR!" Shinomori exclaimed. "Please do what Officer Makimachi asks."

"I still don't think that I need to give a sample to you unless you have a warrant."

"STOP SAYING THAT!" Makimachi screamed, then put her hand over her mouth, hoping not to have given them away.

Now Hailey didn't know who they were, but they defiantly not cops. Now all she had to do was out smart them and they'd be out of her hair. "Really? Well, I have a lawyer sister and I can call her up on my cell phone and see what she thinks." Hailey pulled out her cell phone.

"Officer Makimachi…" Shinomori started, "let's…go get that warrant." He turned and left without looking back.

If it weren't for Makimachi, he might have pulled off for a real cop. As for Makimachi, before she turned and followed her partner, she pulled out three kunai. "So we understand each other, if you turn us in to the real police, these and the rest of my collection will be going into your lover's heart one by one…by one." She then turned on a heal and left. Hailey just happened to see her run right when she got out of the door. Hailey just had to laugh to herself.

"Miss Ishtar?"

Oh, no, what now? "Yes? What is it?"

It was a doctor that approached her. She had to be only a trainee, for she couldn't be more that 5'2". "Hi, I'm one of the doctors that was looking over Mr. Kaiba, and I was wondering…" she paused and put her blonde hair behind her ears. " I know it's not my place to pry, but have you had an intimate with him. There was a swelling around his penis, and considering how my husband's looks…" she paused again, not knowing how to continue. "Anyway, you two are very young, and it looks like that either stress or drinking is what gave him the heart attack. Now I know his reputation, but I think it was more emotional stress, as in what it takes to go through sex…I just don't think that considering who he is, that an intimate relationship is good for his health." She put a hand on Hailey's.

Hailey couldn't face the doctor. "We're graduating in four days, and we had just found out about our feelings a month ago. It was our first time, and considering what had happened, I really don't think we'll be rushing back into it. But so you don't worry," Hailey smiled to herself, "we did use protection. We might love each other, but not that much, and not that soon."

The doctor patted her hand again. "Well then, why don't we get you to see him, yes?"

Hailey walked to his room and went to his bedside, where he was supposedly sleeping. She sat down, and his eyes opened. He looked at her with his eyes big, but blank ones. "H-Hai-Hailey? Is that you?"

Her eyes instantly filled with tears. Of course he didn't remember who she was; he had had two heart attacks since the last time he had seen her. She took his hand. "Yes, Seto, it's me. You got me worried sick. I couldn't think…"

All of a sudden, he started to remember. "You're the one I slept with, right?"

"I…Well…I don't know about…" she was uncertain. Was she his lover? They had made love, but did that make her his lover after one time?

He noticed her confusion. "I never told you, did I?" he kissed the palm of her hand in a passion that he hadn't forgotten with all that's happened. "I love you. And I don't want you to say that you do unless you really do, not just to make me feel happy." He was looking right in her eyes, maybe her soul. "Do you love me?"

It was too much. "I'm sorry, Seto, but I have to go." She was quiet and shy, and not wanting to hurt his feelings since hers weren't the same, but her avoiding the question rather than her saying yes or no hurt him. He looked away as she left, and then he started to do something he hadn't done ever since he found out about his mom and dad's death. He cried.

She did the same thing when she got home. It wasn't fair, having to choose between Seto and Zachary. Zachary had been her first love, and he was coming back, wasn't he? But she had never made love with Zachary, so did that mean that she loved Seto more? Is it possible to have more than one actual love? She ended up crying herself to sleep in all of her confusion.

Usually when Hailey was mad or confused about things, it took days, weeks, and months even to work it all out. So you can imagine the surprise she felt when all of her problems were solved just by an e-mail from Zachary. More were caused, but now she could call Seto who was back home and tell him her real feelings.

Hailey,

Hello, my…dear,

I think you should be proud of me. I have gotten proposed to several times and have said no many times. Why? Because I keep on thinking of you, when I shouldn't be, to boot. I think that we should stop writing for a while, though, you really are taking up a lot of my time, and even though I do love you… I don't think I'm in love with you anymore. You see, being in two different countries is a very hard long distance relationship, and I don't think we can handle it, even if it's just friendship. Besides, we are just friends.

Well, I have to go, please don't write back for at least a month, no matter when you get this, I want to see if absence really makes the heart grow fonder.

Zachary

"That little jerk. Sorry to the Queen for having to deal with that asshole! Who does he think he is saying that I can't write to him? I swear, the next time I see him…"

But this is also a good thing that he is now 'absent', because now Hailey knew that it's all right to love Seto. And she knew that the feelings were real, because if it weren't for Zachary in the first place, she'd say she loved him in the hospital. Now she could say it, and life would be as close to perfect as possible.

Hopefully.

I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK!

Hey, it's a short chapter, I don't know what else to write about for it. I'll try to get more up ASAP, but pressure really is not helping me. So hey, make my life a whole lot easier and write a good review so the pressure will be lifted!
