A/N: So, so, so sorry it took this long to update this story! I blame lack of inspiration for the hiatus. This particular chapter was very, very hard to type up. I know where I wanna go in the story, but not how to get there. I hope this chapter is good enough to make up for that. I just finished typing it up. The flashback was one I'd always wanted in this story. On another note, please read and review. Later on, I will have a scene where Kisara is in a duel, so I need card ideas because I don't collect the cards anymore. I totally need deck ideas! Thanks and hope you enjoy!

Chapter 10

Kisara's POV

Seto paced back and forth as he waited for me to recover from my earlier episode. "When can we leave?" he asked.

"There is no need to rush," I replied as I slowly sat up.

"Mokuba is in danger!" Seto yelled.

"I know that Seto. You need to come up with a plan, and now is a good time to do that," I told him calmly. "As I've said, time here is different from the real world. Trust me when I tell you that Mokuba will be safe." I gave a sigh before continuing, "Seto...please?" I patted the space beside me.

"I'll take your word for it Kisara, but you better be right," Seto walked over and sat down beside me.

There was something I wanted to know, but I didn't know how to ask Seto. I bowed my head and looked at my hands in my lap for a few seconds. "Seto..."

"Hm?" he grunted.

"Do you like me?"

"What kind of question is that?" he asked me.

I licked my lips and closed my eyes before saying, "Because I like you...and I wanted to know if you felt the same way about me."

"I don't have time for that sort of thing in my life," Seto told me. I felt a heavy weight in my chest and I tried to blink away the tears. I closed my eyes and tried to will the tears away, but they still fell down my cheeks. "Kisara? Are you alright?"

I opened my eyes so I could look at Seto. Tears blurred my vision, so his image was distorted. I looked forward again and replied, "But...we have a history together...can you really throw all of that away so easily?"

"We were children back then," Seto argued softly. "Things change."

"We may have been children...but we still have our own child together," I told him. "That should count for something." I let out a shaky sigh as I tried to keep my emotions under control. "I want things to go back to the way they were...I want us to have a second chance."

"We can't do that. You are one of my employees and dating employees is against the rules of Kaiba Corp. I cannot date you."

"You are the person who owns and controls Kaiba Corp.," I started. "You can do whatever you want without anyone else's permission. Seto?" He turned his head toward me, so I leaned over quickly and kissed him on the lips. Seto immediately broke the kiss off and stared at me angrily. "I want to be with you Seto," I tried to explain my action before turning my head forward. I bent my knees in front of my chest and wrapped my arms around them.

"Can we go yet?" Seto asked while standing. "I need to go get my brother."

"Fine," I replied a little moodily. I went and stood in front of Seto and held my hands apart like you would if you were stretching a rubber band between your hands. I read Seto's mind and knew where to take us. The darkness of the Shadow Realm spread out before we were back in the real world, near Seto's helicopter. "I'm going with you."

"Fine. Don't get in my way," he replied angrily. I ran over to the passenger side of the helicopter and opened the door. I got in and slammed it as hard as I could so it wouldn't open while we were in the air. Seto got in and he put a set of headphones on before starting the helicopter. He handed me the silver briefcase he carried and I put it in my lap.

He flipped various switches and pushed some buttons before I felt the helicopter jerk as it lifted up off the ground. I've never been in a helicopter before, so I was really scared as we headed off to Pegasus' island. The thud of the propeller above was deafening. I sat in silence for a while because I didn't know what to talk about. I didn't even know if now was the right time to talk to Seto, with him flying the helicopter and all. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear as I took in the sights below us. We were now over a vast amount of water, so I figured we were over the ocean now.

"Seto?" I asked. I turned to him and he was staring straight ahead. He was wearing headphones or something. "Seto?" I asked a little louder and he still didn't ackowledge me. Finally, I tapped him on the arm. He looked at me and I told him, "Are you listening to me?"

He leaned over, grabbed a second pair of headphones and handed them to me. I raised an eyebrow and he pointed from the headphones to my head. I put them onto my head and I heard Seto through them, "What were you saying?"

"I was asking if you were listening to me," I answered through the microphone on the headphones.

"I cannot hear you without the headphones. The helicopter blades are too loud," he replied.

"Oh..." I knew what I wanted to tell him, but I was sure he wouldn't react the way I wanted him to. "I love you Seto."

"I do not want to talk about this," he told me.

"But we need to talk about it. Look at this Seto, I'm still wearing the ring you gave me all those years ago." I held my left hand out so he could see the ring on my wedding finger...

FLASHBACK

Seto, Kisara and Mokuba were all outside while the other children from the orphanage played a little ways from them. Seto stood in front of Kisara with a smile on his face. He saw a show on TV where a man got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. Seto didn't watch TV very often, but that one scene gave him an idea. He had taken a white pipe cleaner and cut it in half.

Now, he stood before Kisara and he slowly got down on one knee. Kisara giggled and asked, "What are you doing?"

He held out the pipe cleaner and told her, "Hold out your left hand."

She did as Seto requested and watched as he put the pipe cleaner underneath Kisara's ring finger and twisted it at the top so it wouldn't fall off. "Why did you do that for?"

"I want you to marry me," Seto answered with a warm smile.

"But...we are too little to get married," Kisara replied.

"I know," Seto started. "But when we're old enough, we can get married. This ring is my promise to you that we'll get married someday. If you want to..."

Kisara smiled and told him, "That would be fun! I want to marry you!"

Seto stood and gave Kisara a chaste kiss on the mouth. "Good." He held her left hand and lifted it up to look at the ring. "I know it isn't a diamond ring like on the TV, but this ring is adjustable. While we get older, you can keep adjusting it so it fits."

"You're smart big brother," Mokuba said. Seto asked Mokuba to be a witness for the 'engagement'.

"Plus you made it yourself so that makes my ring even more special," Kisara added. "You're the best Seto!" she wrapped her arms around Seto's neck and he wrapped his own around her back.

"Do you love me?" Seto asked.

"Yes. Do you love me back?" Kisara asked.

"Of course!" Seto answered enthusiastically. To Seto's childish mind, he had Mokuba's love and now Kisara's. Being an orphan made Seto want many people to love him because Mokuba had been the only one throughout their lives who did love his brother.

"Do you think we'll ever have kids?" Kisara asked.

"If you want them," Seto answered. "We can have a big family," he grinned at Kisara and she smiled back.

END FLASHBACK

"That didn't mean anything," Seto replied as he remembered back to that time. "We were naive children back then."

"Of course it meant something Seto!" I yelled out. "We were going to get married and have kids when we were old enough!"

"Those were childish dreams Kisara. It is time you grew up and live in the present," Seto bit back harshly.

"What about your family?" I asked.

"Mokuba is the only family I need," he replied.

"But Mokuba isn't the only family you have," I reminded Seto as I stared hard at him. "I became part of your family when Raistlin was born. Deny it all you want, but you know he's your son!"

"Who said anything about me denying that Raistlin was my son?!" Seto demanded.

"I assumed you did when..."

"That's the problem Kisara, you assumed things you know nothing about!" Seto interrupted me.

"Well, regardless, we are a family now! I love you Seto, and I want you to remember that in the future!"

"Where are you getting at?" Seto asked with anger.

"I want you to know that I'll always love you...if and when you are ready to be with me...I'll still be waiting. You're the only man for me and I will wait for however long it takes," I replied and stared out the window to my right.

A couple minutes passed before Seto replied, "I'll take that into consideration."

3rd Person POV

Kaiba Corp.

Back at the Kaiba Corp. building, Seto's many secretaries were manning the surveillance equipment. They all wore different colored wigs worn in the same style, because in Kaiba Corp., it was important to keep out of danger and Seto knew that people who wanted his company or who wanted to get rid of him, would use any means necessary to get to him. That included the safety of his employees. They were all in the large room that had stadium-type seats typing away at their computers. Once Seto started talking through his headphones, they all eventually stopped to listen to his conversation with the girl with him. After they heard about him being 'engaged' during his childhood, they all went, "Awwww!"

They listened to the conversation afterwards and one of the secretaries asked, "Do you think he'll get married to that Kisara girl?"

"I think he will," started another secretary. "They sound so perfect for each other!"

When the bombshell about their son Raistlin was dropped, another secretary asked, "They have a son together?! Oh wow! This is like a soap opera!"

"Who wants to have a bet? I bet they will get married," the first secretary asked.

"I'll bet he doesn't get married to anyone. He's too coldhearted to be with someone," a different secretary replied.

"He's good to Mokuba," another put in.

"That's different, Mokuba's his brother."

"Yeah, but he has a son with Kisara. That automatically makes her part of his family whether they get married or not," the first one told the others. The secretaries continued to argue and bicker about their little bet well after Seto and Kisara's conversation was over.

First Person POV

"We're here," Seto told me from beside me. I looked at him and got a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach...
