Seto Kaiba's Ray of Light Par 12: Awakening and a Confession
After evaluating Ms. Pegasus' vital signs and temperature, I wrote them down on my clipboard.
"Excellent. Your condition has improved greatly, Ms. Pegasus. All you need now is to wake up and you'll be able to go home."
"Seto..."
My eyes widened as Ms. Pegasus opened her eyes and started moving around.
"Take it easy, Ms. Pegasus. You've been unconscious for a couple weeks now and your body is stiff from lack of exercise."
"Seto. Where is Seto?"
"Mr. Kaiba is alive, thanks to you. Now, you must get some more rest."
She shook her head and began to sit up in bed.
"No...more...rest. I need...to see...Seto. Where is he?"
I sighed and shook my head, a smile on my face.
"Mr. Kaiba is at work, I believe. I'll call him immediately."
I quietly left the room and dialed Kaiba Corp.
Seto's POV:
Just as it seemed like I was at my wit's end, I got a phone call. The caller ID said it was from Domino Hospital. My eyes widened as I picked up the phone.
"Kaiba...What? When?...Thank you for informing me. I'll be there as soon as possible."
After informing Mokuba he was to take over for a while, I had Roland call the limo and take me to the hospital. On the way there, I made a call to Yugi's game shop. I told him Olivia was awake and to have him and the others meet me at the hospital. Since I was expected upon arrival, the doctor immediately took me to Olivia's room.
"She is still slightly fatigued, Mr. Kaiba, but she has been constantly asking to see you since she awakened."
I quietly walked inside and saw Olivia sitting up in bed looking out the window.
"Olivia..."
"Seto, you're here."
She turned to face me, a smile on her face and small bruises on her face.
"Does it hurt?"
"Just a little. While I was out, the doctors apparently took good care of me. I even heard you, the others, and my father helped out."
"They said you needed blood to replace what you lost. We all had the same blood type as you. When your father showed up, he made calls to associates that also had the same blood type."
"Is he still here?"
"He's at his hotel right now, but the doctor is calling him now so he can come see you."
She sighed and looked down at her lap. I sat on a chair beside her bed and touched her shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"You're mad at me. I can tell you're ticked about something."
My eyes briefly widened, then I regained my composure.
"I'm not mad at you, Olivia. I was nearly at my wit's end before you woke up. It's already been a couple of weeks since your accident, and I was worried you wouldn't wake up. I almost lost it."
Her eyes widened as she witnessed mine filling up with tears.
"Seto..."
"You have no idea what worry you put me through. I barely slept, overworked myself trying to keep my mind off of you being in pain. If anything happened to you, I don't think I'd be able to live with myself. I love you so much, Olivia."
She backed up slightly as I sat on the bed beside her. My tears were now falling down my face as I held her to me gently.
"I mean every word. I love you so much that my worry was clouding my mind."
"Seto, I never knew you felt this way."
Then, there was nothing but silence. For a moment, I thought she would reject my feelings. Then I was surprised when she put her hands on my face, making me face her. A bigger smile was on her face now as our foreheads touched.
"Seto Kaiba, how can you think I'd doubt your feelings when I feel the same way you do?"
"What?"
"I love you, too, Seto, very much."
We leaned closer to each other, but were interrupted by a knock at the door before our lips could touch. I got off of the bed and smirked at her.
"We'll finish this later. Looks like you have some visitors."
"No problem."
I opened the door and saw Yugi, Joey, and Tea.
"Tristan was going to come, but he's getting Serenity from the train station. He's meeting us at the game shop later."
"Fine."
Yugi approached Olivia and began telling her of a dream he had where his former ally, Atem, spoke to him. Joey looked at me and smirked, his hand grasping Tea's.
"Hard to believe we're all buddy buddy now, huh?"
"Hardly buddy buddy, Wheeler, but we have become friends. Looks like, though, you and Tea are more than that now."
He blushed slightly, as did Tea.
"So?"
"Did I criticize? I was going to say you're good for each other. She can keep you in line and make sure you behave, puppy."
Unlike before when I called him that, all he did was twitch an eyebrow and smile.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, Kaiba."
That's a wrap for part 12. Part 13 begins in Olivia's POV as Pegasus arrives to visit her. Also in part 13, Seto talks to Yugi in private about having Olivia move into Kaiba Manor. Keep an eye out
