Kamani sighed as she walked out to the limo waiting for her. She couldn't believe that she was actually about to have dinner with Seto Kaiba.
She closed her eyes as she sat in the limo he sent for her. She pulled out her phone. It was 7 and she had to spend about 3 hours with him.
She groaned. How did she end up going to dinner with him?
The worst part was that the dinner was at his house. She sighed.
She would just have to bear it and get through the dinner. She had an ace up her sleeve if he tried to pull anything. She would threaten him with the takeover.
She smiled. This dinner would certainly be interesting.

Kamani took a deep breath and forced a smiled when the door opened. A butler greeted her.
"Hello, . is waiting for you in the dining room. Please follow me." He said, leading her to the dining room. He opened the door and Kamani saw him standing behind a chair, waiting for her.
He smiled when he saw her.
"Hello, . I'm so glad you decided to come. You look beautiful." He smiled. Kamani forced a smile and nodded.
"Thank you. I'm very sorry about our last meeting." She said. He smiled and shook his head.
"No, that was my fault and I'm very sorry about it." He said. Kamani nodded. She was surprised that he actually apologized to her. Never before had he apologized.
He smiled at her. Kamani smiled back. He was doing an awful lot of smiling. His face muscles would hurt after this dinner, from all the smiling he's been doing since she got here.
She noticed him staring at her.
"I'm sorry. What were you saying?" She asked. He cleared his throat.
"Shall we begin dinner?" He asked. Kamani nodded. He smiled and pulled out the chair for her. She thought he was going to sit at the other end, but he sat next to her.
She looked up and noticed him looking at her necklace, his eyes wide.
Kamani froze. It was the other side of the heart she had given him before she had left Domino City.
She looked up at him. She had to say something and drive whatever he was thinking away.
"I see you're admiring my necklace." She said. He looked up and nodded.
"It's very beautiful." He said. She smiled.
"Thank you. It's from my mother." Kamani lied. He smiled.
"I once knew someone who had a necklace exactly like it." He said. She nodded.
"Really? I love this necklace. It's one of my most prized possessions." She said. He nodded.
"Now, shall we begin dinner?" He asked. Kamani nodded. The doors opened and servants came in, carrying trays of food.

"The food was delicious." Kamani said, wiping her mouth on the napkin. Kaiba smiled.
"I'm happy you enjoyed it." He said. She nodded and sipped her wine.
"Would you like to have dessert in the lounge?" He asked.
"Wherever you want to have it." Kamani said. He nodded and stood.
"We will have the dessert in the lounge." Kaiba said, turning to his butler. The butler nodded and disappeared into the kitchen.
Kaiba turned towards Kamani.
"The lounge is this way." He said, leading her to the back of the house.
He opened a door and they walked into the room. It was big and elaborately decorated. Kamani looked around the room. There was a stone fireplace, where a warm fire blazed.
There was a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. There were two large chairs and a couch. There were bookshelves lined against the wall. Kamani walked over to one and scanned the titles.
"Romeo and Juliet, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice." She read the titles aloud. She turned towards Kaiba.
"You enjoy love stories?" She asked. He nodded.
"I find them," He paused, searching for the right word.
"Entertaining." He said. Kamani looked at him.
"You don't enjoy reading romance novels?" He asked. Kamani laughed.
"Love? Hah! It doesn't exist." She said, turning away. He studied her.
"You speak as if you have had a bad experience with love." He said. She turned and looked at him.
"Love is merely an emotion, an illusion created by the heart to play with one's head and block one's logic. Love is like a disease; each organ shuts down until your heart is left in control and you are in a complete daze." She said. He was looking at her, very interested and puzzled.
"Do continue." He said. She nodded and continued.
"Love is a disability robbing you of your senses. Then, there is the best part: yield to it and have your heart shattered into a million pieces or wield a sword against it and then have that same sword stab you in the heart. Either way, you end up hurt. Love, it's the devil's emotion." She said.
"You seem to know a lot about it." Kaiba remarked, studying her. She smiled.
"I knew a girl once, a foolish girl, who thought she was in love. That it was true love, the best one of all. For almost a year, she was in a daze, head over heels in so called 'love' with this guy who she met over the internet." Kamani stopped. Kaiba sat up, looking at her.
"Then, he does the best thing: he laughs at her stupidity and mocks her love. You would have thought that the silly girl would have learned, but she didn't. She followed him, trying to win his love. When I asked her why she continued to pursue him even though he didn't love her, she said, "True love is sometimes blind and stubborn." However, she died. Unable to get him to return her love, she decided to end her life. She jumped off a cliff, according to my sources." Kamani said.
"What was her name?" Kaiba asked, rather interested. Kamani looked at him.
"She was a sweet 16 year old and one of my best friends. She lived in Domino City. Her name was Anzu Mazaki." She said, turning and looking at him.
She saw his face harden. She relished the effect the name had on him. However, as quickly as the mask was dropped, it was just as quickly replaced.
"Who was the guy?" He asked, sipping his wine.
"I don't know. He was some wonderful mystery guy she met online. They spoke for about a year. But when she went to meet him, he rejected her, claiming she was toying with his feelings and that she just wanted his wealth. I guess she couldn't take it, because she committed suicide." She said.
"That is very sad." Kaiba said.
"I would love to meet him someday. He caused me to lose one of my closest friends. All of this happened because of this ridiculous emotion referred to as love." Kamani said.
"No ma'am. You cannot blame love." A voice said. Kamani turned. The butler was standing there with a tray.
"Why?" Kamani asked. He smiled.
"Because love didn't take your friend's life. The person who she loved did." He said. Kamani studied him.
"How?" She asked.
"Because he rejected her. Had he not rejected her, she would not have died. Her love was true and real. He probably didn't see it though." The butler said. Kamani nodded.
She looked at Kaiba, who was dazing off and thinking.
"Thank you. You're right, now that I look at it that way. But, I still don't believe in love." She said to the butler. He nodded.
"Joseph, you can leave the tray on the table." Kaiba said. The butler nodded and left the tray. He turned and left.
"Well, shall we have dessert?" Kaiba asked. Kamani nodded. Just as she was about to pick up the plate, her phone rang. Kamani gasped and dropped the phone.
"Allow me." Kaiba said.
"No, I'll get it. It's ok." Kamani said. He shook his head and bent to pick it up.
His eyes instantly caught the words detective, murder, and Marc. He handed the phone to her. She smiled.
"Thank you." She said. She looked at the phone and read the message.
"Um, I'm sorry, but I have to go." She said. He looked at her.
"Any problems?" He asked.
"My daughter." She lied. He nodded.
"Thank you for dinner. It was wonderful." She said, grabbing her coat.
"Would you like a lift to your house?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No, that won't be necessary, but thank you anyway." She said. She turned and opened the door.
"Detective, huh?" Seto asked himself. He smiled as she ran off.

"Damn! Did he see the text?" Kamani wondered as she drove towards the police station.
"He couldn't have. He would have said something. He thought I was going to see Aenea, so he doesn't suspect anything." She said. She sighed. He was the last person she wanted knowing about her job.
