Chapter Seven: What Was Not Meant To Be Seen

It had been two days since "The Incident," as Seto termed it. Isis hadn't spoken to him since, not even to throw an insult. She refused to look at him and every time he'd enter a room, she'd immediately leave, even if she hadn't touched her food. Seto, for some reason that was beyond him, had attempted to corner her to try and reconcile, but she always escaped him. Why do I even bother? He asked himself this constantly. He didn't care for her…right? Right! It's just that her avoiding him was messing up his whole life because he kept thinking of her. That is what people do when they feel guilty…right? What an odd feeling. Guilt. This is definitely the first time he's ever experienced it.

"Hey, you!" Seto yelled at some random employee as he strode down Kaiba Corp.'s tenth floor office aisle. The man jumped, literally, and shakily turned towards Seto. "Are you married?" Seto asked him. ""Ye-yes Sir," the man stuttered. "Good. Follow me," Seto said, then walked past the man without a glance. The man followed behind, visibly shaking.

"What do you do to get on your wife's good side?" Seto asked irritably. Talking to this lowlife made him feel like such…such a…commoner. Getting advice from such a loser… He should fire him afterwards… "Well…I-I s-seduce h-her." Seto's eyes widened and he stopped right in his tracks, almost causing the man to bump into him, which would have been bad. NOT the answer he was looking for. Him, seduce Isis? Eww…

"I'm looking for a different answer," he said coldly. "Oh! I-I'm so—" "Just give me another answer before I fire your sorry excuse for an ass right here and now!" Seto growled turning around to face the man. The man seemed to shrink. "I'd b-be r-really nice and d-do something r-really ro-romantic." "Such as?" Seto was losing his patience. "Ummm…like g-giving her flowers with a n-note attached, m-making a r-really nice d-dinner at h-home, or g-getting on m-my h-hands and knees and b-begging for forgiveness." Seto turned back around and contemplated these choices. After a few moments, he turned back around and saw the man still shaking in front of him. "Why are you still here?" Seto snapped. "Do you wish to get fired?" The man squeaked and hurried off to his cubical. "Commoners…"

I want him dead, buried six feet, pushing up daisies. Thinking thoughts of this nature is what made Isis feel happy during the day. The nerve of Serenity, defending that creep. When she had retold the story of what had happened to Serenity, she didn't understand at all. I was like, "What do you think?" Then she was all like, "Isis, what he said wasn't that bad, don't you guys constantly insult each other daily anyway?" Then I was like, "Well, bitch, I really didn't ask for your opinion now did I?" Then she had the nerve to say, "But…you did…" Then I said, putting to bitch in her place, "Uh…no, I didn't. Look, you weren't there, so don't tell me if I should be mad or not. Your boyfriend is rude, selfish, hard-headed among other things, and the only reason you stick up for him is because you like him in your pants." That bitch had the AUDACITY to say, "Excuse me? No, unlike you Isis, I don't do that!" Then she storms off. Good riddance, except now I feel slightly guilty.

Isis walked into the kitchen on her fourth day of ignoring Seto, which she successfully managed to avoid all day. Come to think of it, where is everyone? Why isn't anyone in the kitchen? I'm so hungry… Just then, Isis's stomach growled, as if in agreement. She moseyed on to the dining room and saw that it was beautifully lit by vanilla scented candles. There was to seats set up and dinner waiting to be gobbled up on many platters. She was practically salivating at the mouth.

"From your reaction, I can see that you like the food," an oh-so-familiar voice said from across the room. She took her eyes off the food to look up into the face of Seto Kaiba. She glared at him and went to exit the room from the door she came in from, but it was locked. "What the…" She shook her head and spun around and went to exit from the door Seto entered from, but it was locked as well. "There's no escape," he said simply from besides her. She glared at him once again and headed for the windows, but once she saw what was outside, she backed away. "You know, I had a feeling you might resort to jumping out the window, so I had spikes put on outside the windows," Seto said with a smirk.

Isis glared daggers at him. "You bastard." Seto continued to smirk and said, "Well, Isis, while you begin to reminisce about how much of a bastard I am, I will be enjoying this delicious meal." He then sat down, put his napkin on his lap, and began to take food from a few platters. Isis continued to glare at him. How dare he mock her! Eating such delicacies in her presence, while she stood here starving! Well, she would not give him the satisfaction. Isis decided to stand in that very spot until Seto gave up this odd charade. Of course, her stomach did not agree with her and chose that exact moment to grumble loudly. It almost sounded as if it was moaning, "feeeeed meeeee…"

Seto looked up at her from his dinner and said, "It seems to me that you're hungry." Isis growled and took the seat across from him, cursing him and her back-stabbing stomach all the while. Blinded by her hunger, she piled as much food as she could onto her plate and savagely ate away. Seto just stared at her with wide eyes. As he stared, Isis looked up, her mouth full of various foods. "What?" she spat, food remnants spilling out and flying everywhere from her mouth. Some actually landing on Seto's face.

Seto, surprisingly not instantly insulting her one how horrible her table manners were, calmly wiped it away with his napkin and answered, "Nothing…I just…was thinking…about…how-how…cute…you look." To just say that one sentence was a hassle for him. Don't get him wrong, he had absolutely no problem lying, but even such a fallacious lie like this was hard to say. Isis's eyes narrowed, but she said nothing.

After the meal and desert, Isis sat back in her chair and slouched, letting out a sigh of content. "So, Isis, how was the meal?" Seto asked her. She glanced at him, then looked down at her stomach and patted it. "It was excellent; and who said the way to a woman's heart was not through her stomach? Nonsense! Wait a minute, that's not how it goes… It applies only to guys, right? Or was it…" Just thinking about it confused her. As she was contemplating this paradox, she didn't notice Seto get up, go around the table, and get on one knee before her.

"Ok, I don't even think it has to do with women…" "Isis…" "Doesn't it go, 'the way to a man's heart is through is stomach?" "Isis." "No, that has to be wrong, I could've swo—" "Isis!" Seto yelled, cutting her off. "Huh?" Isis abruptly came out of her reverie and looked down, her eyes widening as she saw Seto before her. "W-what are you doing?" From behind him, Seto took out a dozen purple lisianthuses. "Oh my... Seto…" Isis didn't know what to say, his actions left her speechless. "Look Isis," Seto looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry, really, I am. I-I didn't mean what I said, I guess I was just jealous, but I really miss talking to you, even if it's 99.9 percent insults." He looked up and into her eyes and Isis could see that he was sincere. "Oh get up. You being on your knee makes me feel as if the apocalypse is upon us," Isis said with a smile, which made him smile back.

Wow…Seto's actually hott when he smiles…and his BOD…and those—wait, WHAT! What the HELL! But…those lips look so soft…STOP! Isis stop! You really do need to stop. Yes, I know I do, but his eyes seem to be looking into the depths of my soul…so blue…so intense…so captivating…so beautiful… I AM the image of perfection aren't I? When did I—huh? That sounds like a very familiar voice… Yeah, mime. Exactly, mine. No, someone else's… Such as Seto Kaiba. Exactly! Wait, why can I hear his voice? Because I'm speaking to you. No you aren't, I'm speaking to myself. Didn't this happen before? Oh no…is Seto…psychic? You're really one dumb bitch aren't you?

"I am not a dumb bitch!" Isis shouted. Seto just stared at her as if she had grown another head." You have serious issues, but you do know that everything you just "said to yourself" I heard you say aloud, right?" Isis paled. "I-I did…?" "Yeah, though you were mumbling almost incoherently, I heard EVERYTHING." Isis at that moment seem to shrink in size. "I have to go." And wallow in my self-pity. Isis got up and as she walked by Seto, he grabbed her arm and made her face him. "What do you want now?" Was she not humiliated enough? Did he wish to make her feel even more like a pathetic loser? "This," Seto said and kissed her. This move surprised Isis, but not for long because she quickly kissed him back. His lips were soft…

He let go of her arm and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him; her hand resting on his muscular chest. As they continued to kiss, someone looked on in anguish. Serenity's heart was breaking. She would never forgive either of them for this betrayal. She turned and left the way she entered a few minutes earlier, tears streaming down her face, while Isis and Seto being none the wiser.
