Seto waited, silently. The restaurant was simple and beautiful, but extremely high class. He had taken off his leather jacket when he arrived and set it beside him on the booth. Taking in a deep breath, he picked up his wine glass and took another swallow of the soured beverage.

"Um, excuse me?" He heard a familiar voice ask. He did not look up to peer over at the woman at the entrance. He knew it was unmistakably her. "I'm here to see a young man, but I do not know who." The girl spoke.

Seto could imagine the man looking up and smiling. "Of course, Miss. We have been expecting you. Right this way." The waiter spoke. The CEO took another sip of his wine and looked up just in time to find a girl with long silvery, lavender hair. Their eyes met, and Seto put on a half smirk, one that he had presented to her in the past.

Her eyes grew in shock, and then in horror. "No…" She whispered. She had tried so hard to get away from him, to run away from all this, but she should have known who she was dealing with. Seto never forgot about it. And having her profile show up at a dating agency was not where he had pictured finding her. But, the means were merely details.

"Not… you." The girl spat out quickly. She dropped the shawl that hung off her shoulders, backed up and knocked a few drinks off of a nearby table.

Seto took another sip of his wine and stood up. He picked up his jacket, throwing it over his shoulder, and walked towards her.

"No, you can't-" She huffed, backing farther away. "NO!" She screamed, finally coming to her senses. "Not you! Any one but you!" She screamed. "Anyone but Seto Kaiba!" She screamed, finally falling down on her bum.

Everyone gasped and turned towards the icy brunette, now glaring at his date. She was always a problem, but never the less, a challenge. He had to get out of here quick, before the press arrived and announced to the world that he was "seeing someone."

He reached down and took the girl's hand, pulling her to her feet. She might have fought back, if it wasn't for the glass high heels and silver dress wrapped tightly around her body. He had also taken the rage out of her years ago.

"Lets get out of here." Seto said, more of a suggestion than an actual command.

The girl yanked her hand away. "I'm not going anywhere with you!" She screamed.

Seto glared, slightly peeved. "Thanks to another one of your grand screw ups, the press will be here in five minutes to confirm I was actually at a private restaurant with a woman. Now lets go." He grabbed her hand and yanked her towards the door. She, surprising, did not fight back.

"Besides." Seto said, less harshly. "This is still a date." He almost wanted to smile as he led the old acquaintance out of the restaurant.


Renami Safiya was curled up in the corner of the booth, across from Seto. He rested his arms on the table, feeling more like a commoner than ever before. The small pizza in front of the two had gone untouched and was now cold.

He had taken her to a small diner that her and Joey used to hang out at. It must have been three years since she had disappeared on him, wanting nothing to do with anyone of her friends from before and simply to get away and forget about what happened.

Kaiba assumed the only real person she would enjoy seeing would be Mokuba, the innocent little boy now grown into an irritating teen, though just as cute.

Renami wore his jacket around her shoulders, being forced to in the car when she was freezing. He waited for her to say something, but somehow already knew that she would not, nor would she look at him.

"Why did your profile show up at a dating agency?" Seto asked, being blunt.

Renami hissed at him. "That's all you want to know! No 'Hello, Renami, nice to see you.' Or, 'sorry for abandoning you years ago, I really screwed up then!'" She yelled at him.

Seto crossed his arms, showing her a slight smirk. "I didn't abandon you. Last I remember, you disappeared without a word. No one has heard from you since. And then you show up on a piece of paper in front of my face during a meeting. How does that happen?" He asked

"What the hell are you doing at a freakin dating place anyway!? I thought you were too good for that. Or did you finally move up from hookers to actual women!" She hissed.

Seto raised a slight eyebrow. This was the argument he was expecting, but he was indeed unprepared for her to act so differently. "I haven't hired a hooker in years. As for me and the dating agency, just think of it as a strategic career move." He said. That was exactly how he thought of it.

"Career move!" She hissed. "You're always about business. You make me sick, you stuck up snot nosed rich ass. And how can you treat a girl as business. Are you looking for some pretty woman to hang off your arm during business parties!"

"No." He said sternly. "I have actually gone out of my way to make sure the public does not find out about this."

"Then what! Why are you here? Why did you pick me of all people! Why!?" She screeched at him.

"Is it wrong to request a presence with an old friend?" He asked calmly.

"We're not friends." She hissed in a low voice, turning her head away from him.

"If you really don't want to be here, then have you not left yet?" He asked

Renami glared at him. Then she stood up and slipped her shoes back on. "Fine." She hissed, and stormed off to the door.

Seto jumped up and went after her. He reached out and grabbed her arm. She yanked it away and whirled around to face him. "What do you want!" She hissed.

"My jacket." He said, holding his hand out. Renami steamed and threw off his jacket. She stormed out the door. Seto picked it up and went after her. This was not what he was expecting.

He caught her outside, waiting for a taxi. Seto walked up to her and took her hand, gripping it tight. "Come on." He said, taking her away from where she was standing.

"Where are you taking me!" She hissed, trying to free herself.

"You're apartment." He stopped at his car and opened the passenger door for her. She glared at him, but surprisingly got in.

Seto got in the drivers side and started the car. He took her to her apartment and stopped in front of it.

She looked out the window and reached for the handle. Seto locked the doors, tracing his cold eyes over her figure. She turned to hiss at him.

"Seto! Just leave me alone!" She yelled.

"I want to talk." He said calmly.

"There's nothing to talk about. What happened is in the past and I thought you had forgotten about that!" She hissed, clenching her fists.

"There is something to talk about, and what makes you think I forgot. You think I would forget something like that!" He hissed back at her. "I am not-" He was cut off by the ringing of his cell phone

He answered it. "What Mokuba!" He yelled.

"Oh nothing, just wanted to see how things were going, you know, check up on ya. Figure out when you would be home." The teen said calmly, though Callie was yelling at Mokuba in the background, he was probably teasing her.

"Mokuba, I am busy!" Seto yelled and hung up the phone. Renami was already out of the car, heading towards the apartment buildings. Seto got out and chased after her.

He reached her at the door and grabbed her arm, turning her around. "What do you-" She had started to say, but Kaiba had pressed her body up against his and kissed her, viciously, like before. The girl did not kiss back, and he allowed her to yank herself away from him.

"Seto, just stop! Leave me alone!" She yelled, throwing open the doors and heading up the stairs. Seto followed her, allowing her enough room to reach her apartment.

She stopped at the door and pulled out the keys. "Don't" Seto said, as she was about to put her key into the door. She spun around and slapped him, clean across the face. "What do you want Seto! Do you want to fuck me! Is that it! Like before! Did you expect everything to go back to normal! Like I would just give in to you! Did you expect me to be your stupid little toy!" She screamed at him.

They stayed silent for awhile, Seto turned away from her blow. She had gotten weaker. Was the fight really dragged out of her? And by who?

She stilled looked at him, waiting to see what he would do next. Seto looked back at her and she was shoved up against her door. He held her wrist down by her side, gripping them tight as his eyes burned furry into hers, an inch away. He was mad, now.

"I just wanted to talk." He hissed, slowly. "But, no." He tightened his grip. "You had to make a fuss and make a scene over meeting a friend." He waited, slightly, for her to say some comeback at him.

He could feel her heartbeat, she was scared. The fight really was gone. Seto did not want this. He wanted to meet with her, catch up from the last few years. Maybe he did expect her to let him in, maybe he was overconfident that she would be just like before. But, there was no reason they could not talk. He was willing, for the first time ever, to open up to her. He had missed their quarrels, the snappy comebacks from this girl.

Seto loosened his grip slightly and softened his gaze. He closed the gap between them and kissed her cheek. Trailing down her neck, he left soft kisses to her collar bone. She did not move, and he expected her to.

"Renami." He said softly and waited for a response. He was expecting to be pushed off any minute. But, she stayed still, quiet as ever. His eyes traveled back to hers, and he kissed her lips, biting at her lower one. But, she did not kiss back, did not respond to him.

Seto let go of her wrists and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her away from the door. He ran his hand down her front, stopping under her ribs to make her purr. Renami moaned into him, arching her back and finally kissed him back. But, it did not last long.

She kneed him in the groin and stepped away as he fell to the floor, with a slight groan. "Not every one gets what they want, Seto. Not even you." She hissed, unlocking her apartment.

"This isn't over, Safiya." Seto hissed lowly, on his hands and knees. "I will get you back for this." He warned, and the door to her apartment was slammed shut.


By the time he came home, it was passed midnight. He had driven for hours, trying not to go back to her apartment and drag her out of it. He had actually stopped at a park and walked around for awhile, letting off some steam.

She had really changed. She still had her cursing tongue, but something about her had changed. And Seto actually thought about what he had done wrong, if he had done anything wrong.

Now in his bedroom, he emptied the contents of his pockets and tore off his shirt. Walking over to his dresser, he noticed a white box sitting next to Callie's collar.

It must have been the dress he told Roland to buy. He would wait to present it to Callie, maybe at the same time he did her collar.

Seto shook his head and tore off the rest of his clothes. He had too much work to worry about everything that had happened today. He needed rest, and everything would seem less important in the morning.


Author's Note: Ha! Another chapter done! Renami Safiya if one of PrincessNala's characters. If you want to know about hers and Seto's past, read "I can't believe I love you" by PrincessNala. Their past does not follow the storyline directly, but you can get an understanding of how they were to each other.
