True Friend, True Love (Seto Kaiba) #12
A girl about your height, who had long brown hair and sparkling hazel eyes, smiling broadly at you, standing beside her was a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes who stood at least two inches taller then her, which he looked kinda horrified at the sudden action of what the girl just yelled out. "NICOLE SILVERS!! Who did you bribe to get into this country(?)" You say playfully, smiling your famous smile as you walked towards the two figures. "Hey, I resent that remark!... Sam did the bribing!" Nicole replied just as playfully, nodding towards the guy standing next to her. Then she walked up and both of you gave each hug. "I can't believe it's you Nikki!" You say pulling back from the hug, "What are you doing here? What happened to your glasses?" You then asked. "Oh I wear contacts! Still have to wear them at night though. Also Sam and I are enrolling to this school." You then hear a throat being cleared and both of you turned your attention to Sam. "Oh sorry Sam. Heather this is Sam, my boyfriend. Sam this is my best friend Heather." Nikki introduced the two of you. "Please to meet you Heather. I heard a lot about you." Sam said shaking your hand. "All good I hope(?)" You say smiling at him. "Hey Heather who's your friends?" Joey asked as the gang walked up behind you.
"Oh sorry guys, I'm seriously not with it today. This is Nicole Silvers..." "Nikki, please." Nikki states to your friends. "...she is my best friend and this is her boyfriend Sam, who I've only just met. Nikki, these are my friends, Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Tea, Bakura and Duke." There was an exchange of 'Hellos' between your friends, then Nikki asked, "So Heather, what are you doing here in Japan? I thought you still lived in England!" "Dad left the RAF and decided to move here. Most of my family live here and my dad wanted me to get to know my mum's side of the family." You explained to her brightly. "Do you want to come to the arcade with us Nikki, Sam?" Yugi then asked your best friend. "Sure we are sick to death of paper work, from enrolling at this school. We could use a little fun." Nikki replied brightly. "Actually guys I'm not feeling up to it, I think I'll go..." "Heather Owens! When was the last time you went to an arcade... I would guess When I took you back in the States, so you're going!" Then Nikki grabbed your arm and started to walk off with you. "Alright! Alright I'll go!" You say in a exasperated tone. Nikki however kept hold of your arm and kept walking. "Um Nikki, do you know where you are going?" You asked amusingly, which instantly Nikki stopped and a light blush went across her cheeks, "No." She admitted then she turned to the gang, who stood there with wide grins on their faces. "Little help!" She stated to them, which immediately brought the gang to life as they all guided you to the arcade.
(At the Arcade) "Come on Heather one more game!" Joey pleaded to you. "No Joey I need a break now!" You say in a playful, stern voice. "I'll keep an eye on her Joey, I could use a break too." Nikki stepped forward to save you from the Street Fighter maniac that Joey had become. "You can play against Sam, he's really good." She said then offered. Joey turned his attention to Sam, "You up for it?" He asked challengingly, Sam simply smirked, "Bring it!" Then the two blondes went off to play, as you and Nikki went to the small bar (Non-alcoholic) that was situated in the centre of the arcade, order slushies and sat down at one of the tables. "So Nikki! You never told me what brings you to Domino of all places." You say brightly to your oldest friend. "Take a random guess on why I'd move from ANOTHER home!" Nikki told you in a slightly bitter tone. You gave her an apologetic look, "Oh Nikki! He can't be still after you surely?" You say in a exasperated tone. "Yeah he is. Dad still blames me and mum for the failure of the dojo. So it means another place to live briefly before I move again." Nikki said sadly to you, as she played with the straw of her slushie. "Not this time!" You say in a determined voice, making Nikki look at you in surprise. "You've got me again. We are the dream team, nobody can touch us when we are together. Right?" Nikki smiled at your determination. "Right! We stood up to Lee and we are going to stand up to my dad!" Nikki said brightly to you, but her expression changed instantly as she saw your saddened face which looked away from her. "Heather what's wrong?" Nikki asked in concern. "Nothing." you said quietly, still looking away. "Heather Owens, whenever you get that expression I know that it's not just nothing! You need to stop bottling things up! You know that you get so stressed out, that you literally explode. So talk to me." Nikki pressed, to you placing her hand on yours. You looked at her and saw deep concern in her eyes for you. You took a deep breath and sighed. "Lee's back!"
"WHAT!" Nikki stated in an outraged tone. "Lee's back. He attacked me last night, if it wasn't for Yugi and the rest of the gang, I wouldn't be here!" You tell her softly, as Nikki's grip on your hand tightened a little. "Don't worry, we took him down once, we'll do it again!" Nikki said softly and reassuringly to you. You smiled at her, "I've missed you Nikki!" You state, "And I have missed Heather!" Nikki replied back giving you a hug. For some reason you glanced over to the entrance of the arcade and to your surprise, you saw Seto, looking a little lost, through the cold demeanour he put on, snarling slightly at some timid fan girls. "Will you excuse me for a moment Nikki? There is someone I need to speak to." You ask Nikki, not taking your eyes off Seto for a moment, "Sure Heather!" Then you stood up, and walked towards Seto's direction. He hadn't noticed you walking towards him, because his back was turned, whilst he looked like he was looking for someone. "Hey, lost something?" You asked brightly, to his back, making him spin to look at you. "Nope, found her!" Seto stated casually to you, but still keeping a cold demeanour for people around the two of you. "OK you were looking for me. Whats up?" You say slightly surprised and sweetly to him, with a smile playing on your lips. "Well I never got the chance to ask you if you will be staying over on Friday?" Seto asked in a business tone, trying to act professional. You slightly blushed, "Er... Why do you ask?" You responded, trying to sound casual as if it wasn't a big deal. "Well, the party is going to run late and you probably will be too tired to drive home so, if you were thinking about staying over I can prepare a room for you. You can't really sleep on the couch in my room, or ermm..."
Seto shifted his stance slightly as he trailed of, making you blush a little harder because you knew what he meant. "Anyway, you can use the room to get ready in as well, that's if you are still willing to come early that is?" Seto asked, getting off the subject pretty quickly, regaining his calm, cool, Seto Kaiba composure. "Yeah, I can settle the boys before hand as well. I can't leave three crazy twelve year olds with you. They will drive you crazy." You state playfully to him. "Mokuba is not crazy." Seto answered a little harshly to you. You just gave him a mock serious look. "You haven't seen him with my cousins!" You state in a mock seriousness tone crossing your arms. "You're saying they are a bad influence!" Seto started to harden a little. "No not at all!!" You changed your tone quickly, "They just bring Mokie out of his shell a little. To be honest since those two met Mokie, they have come down to earth a lot." You say thoughtfully. "Come to think of it, Mokuba has been a lot brighter recently." Seto in turn said thoughtfully. "Well then it's settled, what time do you want us to turn up. 5.30? 6?" You asked brightly. "If those three are as crazy as you say they are then I suggest you come at 5.30. To give them time to calm down." Seto said logically. "Good plan." You state to him, then a throat was cleared behind you. You turned to find Nikki standing there. "Oh! Hey Nikki, sorry where are my manners(?) Seto this is Nikki a very old friend, who lived in America. Nikki this is Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp and one of the best duellists in the world. Who so happens to be my friend." Introducing them cheerfully. "Hi!" Nikki said brightly to Seto, Seto just nodded courteously. "Sorry to interrupt but I was just going to order some more drinks, and I was wondering if you wanted the same again Heather?" You nodded, noticing a smirk forming on her lips. "OK then I'll just go get them. Will you be joining us?" She asked, in a sly tone to Seto. "No, I have to get back to work." Seto responded in his usual tone, but it wasn't cold and harsh, there was an actual politeness to it. "OK! Don't be long Heather." Nikki said in a polite tone, with a broad smile beginning to reveal itself on her face, as she walked away from the two of you. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Seto." You say beginning to walk away as did Seto. Then a thought came to you, "Oh Seto! Is there going to be dancing at this party?" You asked turning to face him. Seto stopped and turned to you. "There is, why?" He asked curiously. "Well you owe me a dance." You state simply to him. "And why do I owe you that?" He asked with a slight smirk on his face. "I'm going to be wearing a dress and heels! You owe me something for that!" You say playfully to him. Seto's lips curled into a gorgeous smirk and he raised his eyebrows. "Hmm!" He just responded and walked out of the arcade. You then turned and walked back to Nikki, who had obviously been watching you the whole time.

(Nikki's POV) You were happy to see Heather again. you hadn't seen her in so long. What else made you happy was seeing her happy. Yeah she was happy when you last saw her, but now she's even brighter. You were talking to her when she seemed to notice something. "Will you excuse me for a moment Nikki? There is someone I need to speak to." she asked. "Sure Heather" you told her. You watched as she walked off. She walked over to someone, but you couldn't tell much since his back was to you. He turned around and you saw him. What surprised you was Heather started to talk to him, and you knew she was liking it. You hadn't seen her talk to a guy since...well, Lee, and that WASN'T a happy conversation. Too bad you couldn't hear the conversation, but then something came to your mind. You smirked as the plan ran through your head. You got up and walked over to them. You only heard part of the conversation. "..I suggest you come at 5.30. To give them time to calm down." The mysterious brunet pointed out. "Good plan" Heather agreed. You decided to clear your throat and get their attention. Heather turned as the brunet looked up at you, "Oh! Hey Nikki, sorry where are my manners Seto this is Nikki a very old friend, who lived in America. Nikki this is Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp and one of the best duellists in the world. Who so happens to be my friend." Heather introduced cheerfully 'Seto Kaiba...' You thought to yourself. Then the rest of the introduction hit you. You were a duellist as well and had heard of him. "Hi" you smiled. He nodded in acknowledgement. "Sorry to interrupt but I was just going to order some more drinks, and I was wondering if you wanted the same again Heather?" You suggested trying hard not to give much expression, but failing miserably. She nodded. You looked over to Kaiba hoping to put your plan in action, "OK then I'll just go get them. Will you be joining us?" The brunet looked at you. "No, I have to get back to work." he answered you politely, but with a serious face. 'Darn it!!' you thought to yourself. He needed to talk to her more. Something told you that those two would be good for each other, but the question was.... could either of them see it? "OK! Don't be long Heather." You told her as you left to get the drinks. You watched them continue to talk as you poured the two drinks. You were surprised by all this. She was having a great conversation with a normal guy, well as normal that guy could be. She asked him one more question then they left separate ways. You watched as she came back, and couldn't wait to ask questions. Once she was calm enough you decided to ask, "OK...OK... Now SPILL!!!"...
You looked at Nikki with confusion "Spill what?" You respond in a slightly high pitch voice, defensively. "You know exactly what I mean. I just witnessed you, of all people I must say, having what seemed to be a moment with a HOT and I do mean HOT, brunet, blue eyed, GUY!!! details hun.. DETAILS!!!" Nikki then stated in a excitedly. "I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Nicole!" You say in a defensive tone, concentrating on the slushie in front of you, refusing to look at you friend. "You and tall, dark and handsome!" Nikki pressed on excitedly. "Me and Seto? We're just really good friends thats all." You say casually, trying to shrug off the subject. "Yeah right. Do you really think I would ever buy that line Heather Owens?" Nikki said in a sarcastic tone, folding her arms and giving you a mild glare. You hated it when she did that because she knew perfectly well that you were never good at lying and you always crumbled when she gave you that glare. "I... maybe like Seto... a little..." You say softly, playing with the straw of your drink.
"I KNEW IT!!!" Nikki raised her voice a little too loudly. "Nikki!" You say in a hushed whisper. "I KNEW! you had a crush on him, I so approve by the way, he is sooo HOT!!" Nikki said in the same hushed whisper. "Hey what about Sam??" You then asked amusingly, as you see your friend getting a little flustered over Seto. She just gave you a look. "I said the guy was HOT. I never said I wanted to date him. YOU need to do that.... or have you already done it You sly little fox... *starts singing* Seto and Heather sittin in a tree K-I-S-" Nikki then instantly stopped when you placed your hand over her mouth. "I wouldn't go that far Nikki. I haven't even dated him yet as much kissed him of all things." You state to her sheepishly, slowly removing your hand from her mouth. She just smiled understandingly at you. "You are way to far behind for my liking Heather. You seriously need to catch up. I'm setting you a deadline... Kiss him or do something in one week and tell me about it, and I shall never bother you again about it. Deal?" Nikki said to you smirking. "Nikki... I don't know. He sees me as a friend, besides he has tons, and I do mean tons of fan girls bothering him. I don't want him to think that about me. Besides what can I do? Kiss him at the dinner party tomorrow?" You say in an unsure tone. Saying the last part in a joking tone. "Perfect!" Nikki simply said.
"I am not kissing him at the dinner party tomorrow! He would floor me for embarrassing him in front of his business associates!" You say seriously to Nikki, with complete panic in your eyes. "No, I mean it's perfect to show Seto Kaiba, what he is missing out!" Nikki states with a broad smile. "Meaning?" You asked suspiciously. "Meaning I am going to give you a make over that will knock Seto for six!" Nikki states simply to you. "HEY YOU TWO! ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY OR WHAT??" Tristan and called out at the same time. "Come on Heather. We'll talk business later. Right now let's show these boys how to play video games!" Nikki said brightly getting out of her chair. You smiled and followed. "I should have known Nikki would have noticed!" You thought to yourself as you and Nikki started to kick Yugi's and Tristan's butt at air hockey.
