A few minutes later Mokuba was dressed for bed. Meliara tucked the little boy in and smiled at him sweetly. He reminded her of her own little brother. Meliara got up to leave when Mokuba called her name.

"Mel?" Mokuba said quietly. Meliara turned around to look at him questioningly.

"What is it Mokuba?" she asked.

"Would you sing me to sleep?" he asked. "My mom used too and Seto won't, so would you please?" Meliara smiled as she sat down on the side of his bed. She then began to sing a song that she had sung to her brother when he was little to put him to sleep. Mokuba closed his eyes, the sound of her voice lulling him to sleep. When Meliara finished to tucked the sleeping boy in again and got up to leave.

"Good night, Mokuba." She whispered as she stepped out of his room and closed the door behind her. She then stepped backwards and turned to find herself staring into Seto's blue eyes.

"Seto." She gasped in surprise as she started to fall backwards when Seto's arms shot out and caught her. He held her by the waist close to him as Meliara looked up at him. Seto stared back into her green eyes. He had come to tuck Mokuba in, after he was absolutely sure that he wouldn't make an idiot out of himself by acting cheesy. He really had no idea what had made him do it, but he had hated it. He had heard Meliara singing to Mokuba, so he stayed by the door, listening to her voice. He couldn't seen to tear himself away. Seto then realized the position they were in and quickly let her go. She stepped back, her cheeks going red.

"Thanks for catching me." She said softly.

"I heard you singing to Mokuba." Seto said.

"Yeah, he asked me to sing him to sleep." Meliara answered.

"Our mother used to do that." Seto said more to himself than her. "Thank you for doing that for him."

"It was no problem; I used to do it all the time for my little brother." Meliara said.

"Where is he staying?" Seto asked. Meliara looked at him questioningly.

"What?"

"You said that you were new here didn't you?" Seto commented. "If you're staying here where is the rest of your family?" Meliara panicked for a moment as he mind raced for a story. She didn't want Seto to know she was a genie.

"I'm the only one left." She said, which actually was the truth.

"What are you doing here in Domino, then?" Seto wondered. "And what happened to your family."

"They…they died." She said quietly. "And I came here because of work." She said, which was true. Her job was granting the wishes of whoever rubbed the lamp and Mokuba had. So she had to stay until he used up all three of his wishes, including his and his friends.

"What kind of work?" Seto asked.

"Well, nothing really important. Just little stuff." She said quickly. Luckily Seto didn't press her for more information as she gave an inward sigh of relief.

It was then Seto realized they were still standing outside of Mokuba's room.

"Come, I'll show you to your room." He said as he started walking down the hall.

Meliara looked at his retreating back in puzzlement. "My room?"

Seto turned to look at her. "You said you needed a place to stay right?" he asked.

"Oh, right, yes thank you." She said as she followed him down the hall. They walked in silence as Seto led her past a multitude of rooms. He finally stopped in front of a set of double doors.

"You can stay here for as long as you need." Seto said without looking at her. "My room is right next to yours so if you need anything, you know where I am." Meliara looked into the room and gasped. It was beautiful and fully furnished, one of the biggest rooms she had ever seen, Meliara turned and hugged Seto around the neck. The startled Seto had no idea of what to do so he hesitantly put one arm around her giving her a one armed return hug. 

"Thank you Seto." She said then realizing her mistake she let go and backed away unsurely. "I mean…Mr. Kaiba." She corrected, remembering the look on his face last time she had called him by his first name. Seto felt the absence of her in his arms but pushed the feeling away as he studied her humbled appearance. She was staring at the floor, hands clasped together in the front, and Seto felt a slight twinge of affection for this girl that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere it seemed. Startled by his realization he pushed the foreign emotion away.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said finally as he walked into his room and closed the door. Meliara did the same as she went into her room and threw herself on the bed and gave a sigh of annoyance.

'I can't believe I did that!' she thought to herself. 'Calling him Seto and then hugging him! He must think I'm a real idiot!' she groaned as she sat up and looked out the window at the star filled sky. 'And yet, I'd do it again to feel his arms around me.' She thought with a small smile as she got under the covers and fell asleep.

Seto had walked into his room and sat down at his desk, lacing his fingers together as he stared absentmindedly at the wall. He had enjoyed the hug, that much was obvious, but why he didn't know. Was it possible he was starting to like her? No, that couldn't be it. She was just some girl that Mokuba had befriended and that was the only reason she was staying. Having made up his mind to forget her he got into bed and closed his eyes. Falling asleep thinking of the green eyed girl in the room next to his.
