True Friend, True Love (Seto Kaiba) #38
(Seto's POV) Your senses were reeling beyond your control as Heather's sensational fiery kiss engulfed you. Your head and your body were at conflict with one another your mind was screaming NO HEATHER IS NOT WELL! Whilst your body was screaming YES! YES! YES! Every part of your body was crying out for more contact, more sensations, more of Heather's tender touch and God did you receive it as Heather warm fingers gently ran down your chest and you just couldn't stop yourself from moaning into the kiss like crazy. The delicious sensations were overwhelming and were sending your hormones into overdrive. You have never felt like this before, a slow and steady pounding was beginning to coarse through your entire body, that was making you crazy, causing you to become so desperate to make her feel as good as you were feeling, you wanted to touch, you needed to touch. So slowly with trembling hands you brought them to her sides, never in your life have you done this before and quite frankly you hadn't got a clue what you were doing, so you followed a natural instinct, you began to caress up and down Heather's slender sides softly trying to get the desired reaction you wanted to hear from her. But instead of hearing a sweet moan you heard a cute giggle in its place which instantly snapped you back to your senses, realising what you were doing to Heather. What on Earth were you doing? Heather is not in her right mind! Sort yourself out! You are taking advantage of her! You immediately grabbed Heather's hands which were making their way to the rim of your pants and pulled away from the kiss. Mentally scolding yourself in believing Heather was actually going to allow you to do this now... ever. Could you be any more stupid?
"Heather stop right now! You are not yourself!" You stated in a stern voice, holding Heather's wrists gently but firmly in your grasp looking into Heather's slightly dazed expression which soon turned into what you could only describe as drunken rage. "I KNEW YOU DIDN'T LIKE ME YOU CREEP!" She screamed at you as she tried pull out violently from your grasp over and over again, and trying to hit out at you. "Heather! Heather! Calm down!" You desperately plead to her as you struggled to keep hold of her, but her strength was quite unbelievable, that you had no other choice but to use your leverage of her erratic thrashing to flip her underneath you, pinning her to the bed. "LET GO OF ME! LET GO!" Heather screamed at you, tears coming down her soft cheeks and her hair has become frazzled and messed up in the struggle. It made you feel so incredibly guilty to hear and see Heather this way, it made you feel like a... a... good grief you couldn't even bring yourself to think of that word, you had to calm her down now. But that was proving difficult as you couldn't understand where Heather was getting this strength from. There was nothing else you could do, except one thing, and this time you were going to keep yourself in check and remain in control of the situation. You leaned down and quickly captured Heather's tender lips in a soft kiss, and for the first time you realised the subtle scent of strawberries coming from her, making you have to fight to keep hold of your senses. As the sweet seductive aroma was trying to make you fall under Heather's spell again. Why did she have to smell of strawberries? Fortunately this action had worked to an extent as Heather's frantic struggle had subsided, taken by surprise by your sudden action.
Pulling away slowly you see Heather panting for air between her sobs, as unfortunately tears still continued to roll down her pretty face and her gorgeous eyes were filled with that daze confused look which whatever has been given to her had brought out. "I thought... you didn't... like me..." Heather whispered in sobs through her tears, as her blues eyes continued to look so lost and dazed, totally unlike herself. "Oh Heather I like you. I like you very, very much." You whispered softly, rubbing your nose against hers, trying to comfort her, but all it did was bring more tears down her soft cheeks. "But you don't want me..." Heather sobbed looking away from your gaze, leaving you speechless and your face beginning to feel hot. You didn't know how to respond to that. Heather is not herself remember that she is not herself so what she said is something she wouldn't never normally say. You told yourself, as you pulled away from Heather's wrists and brought your hand to Heather's cheek to wipe away the tears. "Let the doctor come and check on you first alright?"
Heather sighed through her tears and raised herself up, forcing to move from on top of her, but still sat at her side, being very wary of the sudden change in temperament again. "Fine... as long as they don't have needles." Heather informed you with a slight angered tone in her usual soft voice, but you couldn't help but smile as she folded her arms like a little girl would do. You then let out a sigh of relief at least she was cooperating with you for the moment, but why would she mention needles? Did she have a phobia? She has been hospital so many times before... but she was always unconscious. You gently caressed her cheek again, making sure all her tears were gone for the moment, continuing to smile softly at your sweet angel, making her feel at ease, as she placed her hand on top of yours, looking into your eyes, with that continue dazed expression indicating Heather was still not herself. "Thank you, Heather. Let me just change out of this. The most beautiful girl in the world tore off all the buttons off my suit." You declare teasingly, and instantly you received a small giggle from Heather and also noticed that her cheeks had become a little red. She has definitely reverted back to the little girl personality she had when this whole incident started. You just have to be careful to not let yourself be caught up in those sensations again. "Wait here and I'll be right back." You whispered softly kissing her soft cheek, which was still a little damp from her tears, making her giggle again as you walked towards the bathroom, grabbing another suit, this time it was black, to replaced the one you were wearing minus the buttons. You had to admit though when Heather did that... well something definitely surged through your body then.
You shook your head disapproving yourself of such thoughts, but no matter how much you tried you couldn't get what happened out of your head, and those sensations... Not now you can't think have those thoughts, you re-entered the bedroom to find Heather playing with the fabric of the dress you had gotten for her, and noticed that she had taken off her shoes. When she heard you she turned round and flashed such a cute smile at you that you just wanted to kiss her all over again. But you have to resist you have to keep yourself in check. But God why did she have to look so hot like that? You walked up to her slowly gazing into her smiling dazed eyes and took her hands into your own. "Come on let's go." You spoke softly bringing Heather to her feet, and instantly grabbing her tightly around the waist as she began to stumble as she got to her feet. "All fall down!" Heather exclaimed in a giggling little girl's voice, as she held onto your jacket, pulling herself up, as you assisted her. You just smiled softly, but you couldn't hide the slight saddened expression from your face. Why couldn't Heather let loose like this? She looked so cute and happy. She always had restraints on herself. Mind you, you are exactly the same, but hopefully Heather will set you free and you would set Heather free. "Are you sure I have to go to the doctor?" she asked. She reminded you of how Mokuba would always do that to get out of going to the dentist. "Yes I am sure." You replied back, wrapping your arm around her waist to keep Heather steady.
FF To medical room in hotel You held Heather's hand tighter as you waited for the doctor to return. Fortunately for you, it turned out to be a female doctor, which of course was a relief when you remembered Heather phobia of male doctors. It seemed though that you were more nervous than Heather, as she swayed her feet back and forth whilst she was sat on the examination table, until the doctor came in. She sighs as she sets down her file and sits in her very comfortable looking chair. She evaluates both Heather's folder and Heather thoroughly. Taking notes of her symptoms and regarding what you have told her, and then she took off her glasses and wrote down a few more notes. "May I have a word with you outside, Mr. Kaiba?" The doctor requested suddenly looking up at you, making. Did she find something wrong? Is Heather allergic to this also and would have a violent allergic reaction like last time? You were reluctant to leave Heather alone but you had to go and find what the doctor wanted to say and Heather wasn't really in the right frame of mind to listen to her, so you had to and explain to Heather later. You got up and kissed Heather's hand softly. "I'll be right back Heather OK?" She just smiled brightly in that little girl way, and answered in the same way "OK!" This just made you smile before you left the room, shutting the door after you and replacing your cold indifferent look across your face as you consulted with the doctor.
"Well, Mr. Kaiba. According to what you wrote on the paper, she might have been drugged. In order to confirm our theory, we must take a blood test, to see if anything was given to her." She informed you efficiently, but you couldn't help but noticed a slight smug tone in her voice as she said this to you, as if she believed Heather was putting this on or something. "I also want you to send a blood sample to your lab as well." You demanded in a hard tone, wanting to begin steps to nail this person who dared to poison Heather. "Very well Mr Kaiba. I'll go and get the equipment necessary now." As she began to disappear towards another medial room, you leaned against the wall and sighed, trying to compose yourself before you went back into the room with Heather. As you did you saw Heather had wrapped the jacket you had put on her to keep warm, around herself tighter, in particularly around her arms. Great she heard you talking to the doctor about had a blood test. "Seto, are you okay?" Heather asked softly in her cute little girl's voice and that so cute goofy smile. "I'm just fine." You spoke softly with a cautious smile, walking up to her, placing a hand on her soft warm cheek, taking a seat next to her on the examination table. Then you leaned forward and rubbed your nose playfully against hers, distracting Heather sufficiently as she giggled at your actions, whilst you removed the jacket from her arms slowly and carefully. "Heather thank you for coming here." You whispered softly, but all you got in response was another giggle and she leaned forward and began to play with your hair for a bit. It felt good having her fingers run through your hair like that, it sent nice chills up and down your spine, and you couldn't help but close your eyes briefly and enjoy the soothing sensation that was washing over you.
Unfortunately it could not last as you opened your eyes. Your face drops more, and just sighs as Heather's giggling soon stops when the doctor returns with a needle in its sterile sheathe. Her eyes grew wide like dinner plates and she froze in her spot. She was really petrified with what was about to happen, you never knew she was so afraid of needles before, as the doctor began to make her way towards Heather and yourself. "No! No needles!" Heather whimpered softly burying her face into your chest, and clutching tightly onto your shirt. You couldn't believe it, she was terrified and upon instinct you wrapped your arms around her slender frame to reassure her. "Come now, Heather... it'll make you better." You whispered softly in her ear, stroking her softly and just letting the strawberry sent to fill your senses softly again Then she suddenly shouted out throwing her arm out in an attempt to push the doctor away. "NO NEEDLES!" But somehow the doctor caught her arm and held it in place, you sighed and pulled back slightly to look into her fear stricken eyes. "Heather, don't be afraid." Seeing Heather beginning to cry again as she whimpered, "It'll hurt..." You couldn't help but smile knowing exactly what you had to do to distract the beautiful girl before you. You leaned forward and kissed Heather's soft lips, almost immediately she began to relax against you, which allowed the Doctor to be able to a vein in Heather's arm quickly. You soon had to pull back in a sigh to catch your breath due to Heather making your head spin in such a simple kiss.
Fortunately you had cupped Heather's face in your hands when you did this because she was about to turn and see the needle, so you held her firm and return to kissing those luscious and sensational lips instantly hearing poor Heather moan slightly and try to pull away as she felt the syringe enter her arm and began to draw some blood. You couldn't allow her to see, if she did she was going to panic and hurt herself, so you deepened the kiss, slowly beginning to lose your senses again. God she made you feel so good. After a few more moments of heaven you opened your eyes to see, the Doctor applying a blue plaster on top a cotton swab, so you pulled back to see a even more dazed look on Heather's face and a small goofy smile across her gorgeous lips. "Now, was that so bad, Heather?" You asked with a smile, as Heather looked down at her arm to see what had happened, making her blush profusely. The doctor smiles, "There now. I'll be back in a few moments to give you the results to see if the drug would have any long term effects or if Miss Owens is allergic. Mr. Kaiba, you said you wanted me to send this to the lab as well?" You nodded in response. "Yes, I want to know what this drug could've been." She answers quickly, "Sir, we're not sure if this is a drug. This is why we are taking this test." She then leaves, her face clearly showing that she knew about the rude undertone of her comment which brought rage coursing through your veins. Heather Owens was no manipulator or fan girl, she is a victim of probably one of your enemies and was using her to get to you. They had no right to embarrassing her, if they wanted to get to you they should face you head on like a man, rather than hurting the people you lo... There you go again, was this truly what you feel towards Heather your angel, your light?
You thoughts were interrupted by a small sigh and a yawn, making you look down to see Heather was falling asleep, making you panic slightly at the thought Heather might have an allergic reaction while she was sleeping. "Heather stay awake for me please." "Don't wanna... tired." "Please Heather. I don't want to lose you."
(Your POV) Your head was pounding like a bass drum as you tried to wake up from your slumber. You groaned in pain and held tighter the wonderful warmth that was near you, because it just made you feel just a little better. "Heather..." A deep voice started to speak through the fog and pain that was in your head. "Hmmm!" You mumbled in agony, burying your face closer to the warmth. You then felt a gentle sensation running through your hair, trying to sooth the ache in your head. "Heather..." The deep voice spoke sympathetically, and you felt a warm sensation on your forehead, numbing the pain slightly and allowing you to fight to open your eyes painfully slow finding yourself staring at a shirt covered chest. "Hey how are you feeling?" The deep voice asked softly, obviously trying not to make your head ache worse. "Like my head is ready to explode!" You replied softly back, closing your eyes tightly again before shifting your head slightly to look up and slowly opened your eyes again to look into a pair of crystal blue eyes filled with sincere worry, making you realise that both of you were lying on the bed in Seto's suite. When did you get here? How did you get here? Why couldn't you remember anything? "Seto, when did we get here?" You asked softly, gazing into those familiar blue eyes. "You don't remember?" He asked softly, which in response you shook your head, making you cringe in pain at the movement. "Then don't worry about it for the moment, concentrate on getting better." Seto spoke, bringing you into a warm embrace, running his fingers through your hair once again.
"I did something, didn't I?" You whispered softly, trying to fight the oncoming pain, knowing that Seto was keeping something from you. "I will tell you when you are feeling a little better." Seto replied back cryptically. "OK." You replied softly, closing your eyes trying still to block out the pain. "Here Heather take this." Seto spoke, shifting himself so you were sitting a little more properly and bringing a glass close to you of a slightly fizzy liquid. "What is it?" You asked, opening your eyes, as he brought the glass closer to your lips. "Water and some powerful pain killers, the doctor prescribed them for when you woke up." "Hmmm must have been really bad if you had to take me to a doctor Seto." You whispered before Seto helped you drink some of this slightly horrible tasting liquid, but he tipped it too much and some of the liquid fell from your lips down onto the front of dress. "Sorry." Seto spoke in a panic taking the glass away, as you just giggled slightly in pain. "No point crying over spilt milk! Or in this case spilt water." This caused you to shudder slightly against the deep rumble in Seto's chest as you leaned against him while he chuckled at your comment. "I suppose not." He said softly stroking your hair again. "How long till the tournament starts?" You asked, slowly beginning to fall back to sleep. "In a few hours, but I want you to rest..." Seto began to protest, but you just nudge him slightly as you were almost asleep. "I said I'll help you with this event and I always keep my promises. So wake me up in a few hours." You whispered falling asleep once again.
You opened your eyes once again, to find that the pain in your head was now a very slight dull ache, but your warmth was no longer there, probably meaning one thing. Seto didn't leave without me did he? That's when you heard a deep sigh and the end of the bed move. You raised your head slightly from the soft pillow to see a familiar form sitting at the end of the bed, shirtless and his back to you. The morning light was coming through the curtains drifted warmly in causing emphasis on Seto's bare torso and muscles along his back. This sight just made you bite your bottom lip to hold back a gasp, he looked so exquisite but yet there was a sort of worried tone in the air as he looked like he was in deep thought. You sat up and began to crawl over to the handsome brunette expecting him to turn round and smile at you sensing your movement but he did not. He looked like he was at a conflict with himself but what about. You got right up behind him and before you could bring him back to his senses, there was something else the warm sunlight revealed on Seto's back, very faint but also defining long scars along Seto's back. You reached out to touch with the tips of your fingers, but soon your hands was grabbed and cold angry filled blue eyes peered into your now frightened ones. "Seto..."
Just as quickly as the anger came to his eyes they left when he seemed to realise it was you sitting there behind him. "Heather... I'm... I'm sorry. M-my head was..." Seto stuttered softly, as he looked down at his grip around your wrists and let go instantly, checking your wrists that he hadn't hurt you. "Seto, it's alright." You spoke reassuringly, bring your hands to his cheeks and making him look into your eyes seeing a hidden fear which he was trying to bury once again. You have seen that look before, from the make up first date, after that vision of... Seto as a young boy being whipped viciously and you felt every stroke on your back. "No it's not alright. I had no right to..." "Seto it's alright you were lost in your head. I do that sometimes, it's a defensive reaction that's all." You interrupted him softly, in a calm voice just to reassure the brunet that he was allowed once in a while to be a normal person, at least with you and Mokuba. Seto looked at you in that cute little boy way, obviously trying to figure you out once again, but soon gave up when he smiled taking your hands into his and he began kissing your palms softly, then moving slowly you your wrists as his own silent apology to hurting you. "I said it once and I'll say it again, you are amazing Heather Owens." He whispered, making you blush at the situation you were in now as you realised that Seto was indeed sitting in front of you shirtless. That's when a memory from last night came to you which caused you to blush even more.
*Flash Back*
You had straddled Seto's waist and crashed you lips against his in a fiery kiss. The want, the need the desire, it was incredible, uncontrollable. You wanted him, no needed him. "Heather what are you doing?" He asked, pulling back from the kiss. "I want you Seto! NOW!" You declared pulling the tie from around Seto's sexy neck and ripping open his jacket and shirt, sending buttons flying everywhere bringing your lips crashing down against his once again, indulging in these new and sensational feelings.
*End Flash Back*
You instantly looked away from Seto's blue eyes blushing like crazy as this memory filled your mind. You couldn't have done that! It was not like you, but did you behave like that last night? And why couldn't you remember anything else? That's when you saw something on the floor, it was circular and blue, it was a button. Oh God I did do that! You thought in horror, wondering why Seto even let you anywhere near him. "Heather?" Seto stated your name, "Seto I'm sorry... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable last night. I just... I just can't remember other then... then..." As you babbled you felt your heated cheek rub against the bare skin, that was Seto's chest making you blush profusely, you couldn't stop yourself, even when Seto spoke to you. "Heather I didn't feel uncomfortable. Granted I have never been in that position before but it was you and I was worried about you." You just giggled nervously as you face continued to resemble a tomato as you continued having your cheek against Seto's bare chest, sure you have done this when he was sick, but that wasn't really by choice, even though you certainly didn't mind being like that with him then or now. But why did he want you so close to him after the way you behaved, and what could have... or did happen... "Seto... we didn't I-I mean... I hadn't... Please tell me I wasn't being stupid." Seto chuckled, "You could never be stupid, Heather. I knew that wasn't you." A wave of relief washed over you when Seto said those words, making you look into his gorgeous blue eyes, telling you that nothing at all happened.
"You know, it isn't a crime to behave like that every once in a while Heather. Well, not exactly like that, but you don't have to restrain yourself so much Heather." Seto whispered stroking your hair after a moments silence looking into each other's eyes. "Well look who's talking Seto Kaiba." You replied playfully, poking him lightly at his bare stomach. "Well!" Seto spoke in a playful tone and suddenly you screamed briefly as he pinned you down to the bed, holding your wrists gently, "How about this for loosening up for starters?" Seto teased, leaning down slowly, teasing your lips with his warm breath, making you go crazy as he wouldn't come any closer, using the tip of your nose to know when to stop. "You know you shouldn't tease a trained black belt." You whispered, failing to grasp Seto's soft lips with your own. "Oh really and why is that?" Seto whispered huskily, his blue eyes full of mischief, so at ease and so aware if you showed any signs of being uncomfortable. But you weren't, maybe at first you did feel wary that there was in fact a half naked young man above you, but there was this calmness, a warmth, the sense of knowing that you were safe with him, and also knowing that he was in trouble. "Because, a trained black belt can do this..." You suddenly used your leverage over Seto, flipping him onto his back, with you on top of him and pinning his hands down to the bed, making him stare at you in shock. "... and it means you're in trouble." You whispered softly, leaning forward and making Seto crazy for the touch of your lips. "Heather... please." Seto pleaded softly for your lips, which just made you smile softly, and lean forward capturing his soft lips, in a short kiss, before pulling away. "Come on we need to get ready before we both get in trouble for being late. The tournament is opening today." Seto looked up at you panting softly, but smiled softly at you none the less. "I would get ready but I have a pretty girl on top of me." Seto teased softly. You just smiled softly back, rubbing your nose against his. "Creep!" You teased softly back, before capturing his soft lips in another tender kiss.
FF
You took a deep breath and entered the huge Blue Eyes Stadium wondering where Seto had to disappear off to. Strangely enough he made you promise not to scold him the next time you were to see him, which just made you incredible suspicious and curious by what he had planned for the opening of the Kaiba Grand Championships. You gazed around to see the entire stadium jam packed full of dueling fans, this tournament is going to be awesome and Kaiba Corp will get it's good name back. You walked down the steps hearing some wolf whistles as you did. Whatever possessed you to wear a skirt you would never know. You wore a short lilac skirt, a cashmere lemon coloured, off the shoulder sweater and a pair of cream small heeled boots. You also had your hair twisted up in a clip with a few strands caressing your face. "Heather!" You looked up to see Nikki waving at you, sitting with Tea, Yugi, Duke, Tristan and Sam whilst you had spotted Joey, Rebecca and the other duelists making their way on to stage to start the opening ceremony. You walked down the last steps, waving to your friends with a smile on your face. "Hey guys! Looking forward to this? I know I am." You say cheerfully taking a seat with your friends. "You bet we are, but how you feeling Heather? Nikki told us that felt ill last night." Yugi spoke with concern in his voice and the rest of your friends looked worried, but when you looked at Nikki, she seemed to know that you behaved strangely last night too.
"Yeah I just had a really bad migraine must have been all those flashes from the cameras of the press." You played it off, you didn't want your friends to worry that you were drugged again. "Well that's a shame. But you are very popular in the papers." Duke spoke handing you some newspapers that he had with him with you and Seto on the front page. "CEO Seto Kaiba and his divine rose Heather Owens looked the vision of a perfect couple at the introduction ceremony for Kaiba Corps newest Duel Monster tournament last night. Miss Owens looked radiant and had perfect decorum. Maybe this ray of light will melt the ice around the heart of the richest bachelor in Japan." You read out with humour in your voice, shaking your head in disbelief. "I don't know! Some of the dribble that some people write to sell newspapers." As more and more comment on how much a ray of sunshine you were for Seto and how big the tournament was going to be you were, it was completely ridiculous, well not about the tournament part anyways.
Your attention was suddenly to the announcing of the tournament with reintroducing the duelists to the fans of the stadium and Mokuba was doing a fantastic job. Then you soon found out why Seto made you promise not to scold him because he arrived at the stadium in entering the stadium from the roof with a jet pack on his back. He could get himself killed with that thing, no wonder he made you promise. Well there was more then one way to show your worry and annoyance than with words. The duels were lined up and everyone was set. Yugi wasn't going to duel until the end of the week there was a winner from the preliminaries, so the entire crowd began to separate to rush off to see their favourite duels. "Heather!" You felt yourself colliding with a huge whirlwind of messy black hair and a pair of thin arms wrapped around your waist. "Hey there chuckle! You were awesome on stage you know!" You spoke to the young Kaiba with a huge smile on your face, making him laugh slightly at the new found nickname you had for him when you were really happy. "Thanks Heather. But how are you feeling? Seto told me you weren't well last night that's why both of you disappeared on me." Mokuba spoke chirpily, as he still had his arms wrapped around you. "Oh Mokie I am so sorry. I feel awful about that. I really do." You said in a sincere tone, feeling guilty just leaving poor Mokuba there when you started to behave so erratically. "Don't worry Heather it's OK. I had fun hanging out with Nikki." Mokuba reassured you, and you heard an extra voice add. "That's because I am SO awesome!" You turned round to see Nikki with a huge smile on her face, with her arm linked with Sam. "Yeah, yeah you keep telling yourself that." You teased her as the rest of the gang came up, strangely with Joey with two hotdogs in his hands.
"Joey what are you doing here? You should be at Amazon Adventure Trail getting ready to duel!" Mokuba exclaimed, whilst you stood there surprised that Joey was being so unconcerned about being late for a duel. Didn't he know he would get disqualified if he was late? "Hey I don't duel on an empty stomach. I need to keep my strength up." Joey mumbled through his food. "Joey if you are not there in 10 minutes you will be disqualified from the tournament. And I was looking forward to see you duel!" You exclaim softly. "Ah 10 minutes it'll be a piece of cake!" Joey exclaims in his happy go lucky attitude. "Not when it's 15 square miles of virtual jungle..." Mokuba contradicted, with a thoughtful look as Joey exclaims and began to run off with the gang, but before Nikki and Sam could follow you grabbed her hand as Mokuba said, "...well I think I am going to have to... well never mind." As he watched the gang run off. "What?" Nikki asked kinda worried by the way you grabbed her arm, but you smiled. "Do you really want to go running through a virtual jungle or walk calmly down a secret passage in 5 minutes?" You spoke calmly with a smile, which just made Nikki and Sam laugh. "You think Joey will make it?" Sam asked. "If there is one thing I know about Joey Wheeler, he would never miss a duel. And if he did get himself disqualified he'll never hear the end of it." You replied back as you wandered away from your friends and the young Kaiba. "Hey where are you going? Don't you want to see Joey's duel?" Nikki called after you. "Sure I do. I am gonna to the best seats in the house and besides I am NOT going to scold Seto about jumping off a plane and using a jet pack." You spoke in a serious and playful tone, which made Nikki smile. "Don't be too harsh on him!" She called out. "I won't."
FF to Seto computer office at Kaiba Land You entered the room, to see a Seto slightly hunched over as he watched the view screens of all the duels that were taking place and you smiled when you saw Joey dueling against a masked man who looked suspiciously familiar. "Hey sitting like that is not good for your posture." You spoke softly to the thoughtful brunet, walking behind him and placing a hand on his shoulder gently, snapping him out of his thoughts and making him pry his eyes away from the screen and looked up at you. "Hi. What brings you here? I thought you would be with Mokuba and Nicole watching that third rate Wheeler." Seto asked you curiously, being careful not to use his usual name for Joey when the two of you were alone. "I decided to get the best seat in the house, just so happens that there is someone already sitting there, so I have to improvise." You replied with a mischievous smirk, taking a seat in Seto lap making him chuckle deeply and tried to kiss you but you were having none of it. He made you promise not to scold him, and you plan on keeping that promise and take away other privileges. "What's wrong?" Seto asked in a worried tone. "Nothing, just keeping a promise." You told him brightly with a smile on your face. "You're annoyed." Seto said after a few moments realising why you were taking this action. "A little bit." You replied softly, looking into his eyes. "It was tested by my employees..." Seto began but interrupted him. "Seto please don't make me break my promise. I hate doing that." You said softly, watching the duels on the screens, whilst Seto rubbed the tops of your arms, sighing slightly. "I'm sorry." He whispered so softly into your ear that it sent chills down your spine, making you giggle ever so slightly. "Forgive me?" Seto whispered again, kissing along your bare shoulder which is showing from the off the shoulder sweater you were wearing. "Perhaps." You teased back, as you felt Seto's soft lips move closer towards your neck, and instantly you raised your shoulders to protect it, giggling softly.
"Has Miss Heather Owens got a sensitive neck?" Seto teased, tickling your sides trying to stop you from protecting your neck. "Perhaps!" You giggled, trying to get away. "Then I have Miss Heather Owens at my mercy until she forgives me!" Seto continued to tickle you and trying to get at your neck. "Good thing you don't know my middle name then I'll be in real trouble." You giggled back. "Hmm another incentive to have you at my mercy!" Seto continued to tease and tickle you. "Alright! Stop, Stop I forgive you." You laughed out, with a huge smile on your face. "And your middle name is?" Seto pressed, with a small smile across his. "I am sorry Mr Kaiba but that is privilege information therefore access denied, for now." You said softly leaning forward and kissing him gently. "Alright. I guess both of us still have things we want to keep to ourselves." Seto told you, as you released him from your kiss. Obviously he was thinking about this morning and those scars on his back. "And when we are ready, we will tell one another and only then. I wouldn't want it any other way." You said with a smile. "Neither would I." Seto replied back. But then something caught his eye and his eyes glazed over in that old icy glare, as he stared at one particular screen. You looked over and saw the gentleman from last night. Before you completely blacked out, Siegfried. "There is something about him I can't put my finger on. I am sure I have seen him before." Seto spoke more to himself then to you. You looked at the screen and something just didn't feel right, Seto had constantly asked you all morning about what you had to drink last night but you didn't have anything to drink so how were you drugged.
Then something came to you. "Seto, when do I get my blood results back?" You asked, not taking your eyes of the young man with pink hair, who had just taken down Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood. "It's getting processed as fast as possible. The results should be back at the end of the week. Why? Are you feeling alright?" Seto asked in a worried tone. "Yeah I'm fine. Just get hold of me if they come back early alright? I want to know exactly what has been given to me and where it's from." You reassured him, getting up out of his lap and standing closer to the screens, seeing Siegfried looking up at the camera and it felt like he was looking at you. "You have a theory?" Seto asked, standing behind you. "Maybe." You replied, absent minded rubbing the cuts on your fingers to sooth the stinging pain.
(Your POV) Your eyes graced the results quickly and efficiently, taking in the information that was produced from your blood results that night where you lost your senses completely, feeling anger beginning to course through your veins as you read the components of the drug origins. The drug was part of a small drug trial which was funded by Schroeder Corporation, which can be absorbed into the blood stream quickly, even from a mere cut. and from what you gathered from the information Seto had demanded about Siegfried Lloyd, turns out your suspicious inklings about the smooth talking, German gentleman was a sneaky, conniving, lowlife who tried to poison you. How he did it, he had laced the drug on the thorns of the rose he had handed over to you and waited for the sharp thorns to cut your soft fingers and not only that, he also tried to embarrass Seto throughout this tournament by hacking into the Kaiba Corp mainframe, because his name was not Siegfried Lloyd it was Siegfried Schroeder President of Schroeder Corp, a rival gaming corporation apparently according to Seto, but soon disappeared in the competition for being the number one gaming corporation after Kaiba Corp took that title.
"So what are we going to do about Siegfried Seto?" You asked softly, looking towards the tall brunet who had now changed in that outfit that just made Seto Kaiba so desirable and delicious, that black number that just made Seto legs goes on forever, and the traditional white trench coat that is Seto Kaiba's signature style. You just couldn't help but check him out, but noting the fire that was lit behind his usual cool blue eyes. "I am going to make that fool pay for his interference in my tournament and..." Seto spoke angrily walking up to you, cupping your cheek softly and his expression softened as he finished his sentence, "... I'm going to make him pay for what he did to you." "Well save some of him for me because I want to give him a good tongue lashingto." You commented whilst straighten the collar on Seto's trench coat, standing so close to him, that it just made your heart pound like a drum, as you longed to say the words that can only describe how you feel towards the young CEO."Hmmm how about giving me a good tongue lashing?" Seto teased as he wrapped his arms around your slender waist, pulling you closer to his warm body. "How dare you talk like that to a lady!" You exclaim mockingly and teasingly as you were inches away from his luscious soft lips. "My apologies dear lady, how could I be so unscrupulous!" Seto teased back in a very bad attempt to speak to you in a British accent, making you giggle. "If you are trying to wow me with your feeble attempt to sound like the great British population you failed... miserably." You teased, making Seto pout so cutely. "Way to kick a man whiles his down Heather! Failing miserably to win a kiss with my charm I resorted to desperate tactics and still nothing..." "Awww poor baby!" You continued, gently rubbing your nose against his, beginning to lose yourself in his cool blue eyes, being drawn in by his warm breath.
"Mr Kaiba! The two finalists..." You hear Roland's voice came to a stop as he saw the position that you and his boss was in, and stood there rather nervously. You pulled away from Seto, making the CEO sigh in frustration of being denied his kiss, and looked toward his employee with a familiar frosty look. "What is it?" "Er... The finalist for the final duel before the one against Yugi Moto has arrived at the stadium sir. Should we apprehend the infiltrator sir?" Roland asked nervously, as Seto continued with his business demeanour, stepping away from you and standing at his full intimidating height. "No I will take the pleasure of disqualifying him myself." Seto continued with a slight smugness and superiority to his voice. "Yes sir." Roland agreed immediately, and left as quickly as possible before Seto could mention the fact he entered without stating his presence. "Seto..." You stated with a glint of mischief in your blue eyes, moving closer to the handsome CEO. "Yes Heath... HM!" Seto moaned in exclamation as you captured his lips in a fiery kiss, taking him totally off guard at your sudden display of passion, but soon responded after recovering from the initial shock, suddenly gripping you around your waist and dipping you in a movie style kiss. It was so breath taking and mind blowing, you ran your hands through his hair as he began to plead for entrance into your mouth you granted so willing. You needed, no you craved for his intoxicating taste, his warmth, his sensations. After such intensive and passionate kissing you pulled away slowly, opening your eyes, with your hands on his cheeks, caressing them lightly with your thumbs, waiting for his incredible sapphire eyes to open, seeing them filled with such intensity and surprise. "What was that for?" He whispered softly as he slowly began to bring you back to your feet. "Just saying, go get them tiger!" You whispered back, touching briefly his lips against yours again before pulling away from the sexy man that is your boyfriend completely, making him chuckle as he watched you walk down the corridor unable to prevent himself from checking you out as he straightened out his ruffled hair.
FF end of Seto's and Siegfried duel
"Look face the facts Siegfried your life points hit zero that's about over as it gets! So take what little dignity you have left and GET LOST!" Seto taunted the defeated pink haired man who dared to try and wreck Seto's and Kaiba Corps good reputation and dared to drug you just to embarrass Seto as well. "Oh yeah he's outta here! You rule Seto!" Mokuba spoke cheering his older sibling as you just continued to stare at the fallen challenger that was Siegfried Schroeder, there was so much pain and frustration, he had worked so hard to try and make something out of is company. However Seto was right he can't go around blaming his failures onto others and cause problems for them. He had to pick himself up and try harder, be the best he could be, that is what everyone had to do a some point or another you have done it many times yourself.
I will make him pay! Herr Kaiba you're days of being the number one games company are numbered! You heard an angered German voice filling your head above the entire crowd who were cheering for Seto after his victory. "Heather?" You hear a familiar Brooklyn accent snapping you out of your thoughts. "Huh? Yes Joey?" You asked looking up into the brown eyes of your friend. "We're going to cheer Yug on. Are you coming with us, or sticking with Kaiba?" He asked you with curiosity, probably wondering why you spaced out for a moment. "You guys of course. I barely had chance to talk to you. I am really sorry I wasn't there for your duel Joey." "Ah don't worry about it Heather. I knew you were there watching and cheering me on, and besides Kaiba whipped that Siegfreak's butt!" Joey shrugged it off in his usual goofy manner, to which you teasingly replied with. "I know. And that was very noble of you Joey, cheering Seto on like that, if I didn't know any better I would say the two of you were good friends." "Heather Owens don't say such things!" Joey exclaimed grabbing your arms and shaking you slightly, which just made you, laugh at his antics. No one could make you laugh like Joey Wheeler. You followed your friends towards where the final duel was going to be held, at a grand castle which you were convinced Seto only designed it to link to the title King of Games. "Well wish me luck." Yugi changed to Yami once again as he prepared for his final duel. "Knock him dead man!" "Show them what the King of Games can do!" "Good luck Yugi." You added softly after such fiery comments from both Tristan and Duke with a smile which just caused Yami to smile back at you, giving you the thumbs up as he went to take his place waiting for Leon to begin the duel. You stood beside Professor Hawkins and Nikki, as you waited for Seto to begin the duel, seeing a smug face of Siegfried, a look of eagerness was shining in his eyes, you couldn't trust him as far as you could throw him. So why was he still here? Why didn't Seto throw him out of Kaiba Land? You glanced over at the brunet seeing a successful and smug look in his eyes along with the familiar cold, professional front which he always showed in front of other people. Seto wanted to make sure that Siegfried learnt his lesson and to keep his enemies close by, but why wasn't Siegfried squirming? What was he up to?
OK I really don't want to get into this duel and I really want to get this over with and move on to better ideas so I am skipping the duel. People should know Yugi wins. Go to . for some of the episodes to know what exactly happens OK
"Have you got everything?" Seto asked, as you packed away the last few items into a suitcase. "I think so. If I have left anything I hope you will be able to bring it back for me." You said with an efficient and excited tone, you were going home, going to see your dad once again, but you also felt low, Seto and Mokuba weren't coming back to Domino with you and the others. There were staying in America a little bit longer, to see that everything is in order and Kaiba Land is running smoothly before they come home. "You know I will Heather." Seto spoke softly, coming up behind and helping you shut the case, you noted a slightly saddened tone in his voice as spoke to you. "Are you going to miss me Seto?" You asked teasingly, turning round and wrapping your arms his neck, causing him to smile and wrap his arms around your waist tightly, pulling you closer to his strong, hard, warm body, which just seemed to be more defined in that handsome white suit that he was wearing. "Like the air I breathe." He replied back rubbing the tip of his nose against yours. "Interesting analogy care to elaborate on that?" You whispered breathlessly, his warm breath enticing you to come closer to his lips. "Well... to... begin..." Seto whispered slowly closing the very short gap that was between you, claiming your lips so softly in a short kiss then closing the gap again, each soft, enticing, dizzying kiss became longer and longer, with more and more passion. There was no longer any space between you, Seto was holding you so tightly, but you didn't care you were lost in this incredible sensations, emotions, you just wanted more. You began to run your fingers through his gorgeous chestnut brown hair, and gave permission for Seto to enter his tongue into your mouth which you instantly began to fight for dominance. You couldn't help yourself, it felt like you were on fire and surrendering to these overwhelming emotions all at the same time. Were you really truly falling for Seto Kaiba?
Soon the inevitable happened, from such passion, fire, intensity both you and Seto began to run out of air and reluctantly you both separated panting heavily as if both of you had ran the London Marathon. "Excellent... evaluation... Mr Kaiba." You gasped out between breaths with a smile playing on your lips, which were just not touching Seto's with yours. "Will... you... allow me... to do extra credit... Miss Owens?" Seto panted back, trying to close the gap once again. "NO!" I small voice yelled instantly snapping you and Seto out of your perfect bubble, and turn to see Mokuba standing there, smiling but also a sense of urgency in his grey eyes. "Sorry guys but I was trying to get you to stop, but you didn't want to hear me, so I had to yell before you started again. It's time to go Heather." Mokuba told you in an apologetic tone, as to interrupting you and seeing the blush crossing your cheeks. "It's alright Mokuba. I guess this is it." You replied softly, pulling out of Seto's grasp reluctantly, looking into his perfect blue eyes once again. "I'm sorry I can't see you off." Seto apologises for the fiftieth time in the last hour. "And I told you that it's alright Seto. I know you still have things to do, but it's only a week and we will see each other again. Besides that is what I call a goodbye kiss." You giggled softly, getting hold of your suitcase. "You're telling me. But my bed will feel very empty now with you not being there." Seto commented, taking your suitcase from you and walking with you and Mokuba to the lift that will take you to the foyer of the hotel. He was going to take a limo to Kaiba Corp whilst you, Mokuba and Roland were taking a limo to the airport. You blushed at his little whine and smiled at him teasingly. "Well you are going to have to get use to that from now on because it'll be back to normal when we are back in Domino." "No! Don't say that!" Seto exclaims mockingly, pulling you into a huge hug, desperate not to let you go, making you and Mokuba giggle at his actions. "Come chuckle you are not getting out of this one!" You exclaim pulling the younger Kaiba into the cuddle as well. "I gonna miss you two! You better come back in a week I just will not be happy you hear me!" You stated, as all of you let go as the elevator was coming to the bottom. "I hear you. I promise we won't stay longer then we have to Heather. I'm going to miss you!" "Just keep telling yourself one week." You whispered to Seto giving him one final short kiss goodbye before both of you went your separate ways.
At Airport
"I might have known you guys were going to be late!" You called out teasingly, as Mokuba successfully found the rest of the gang. "Hey Heather! Are you coming home with us?" Nikki asked excitedly, pulling you into a huge bear hug. "I will be if I survive you sudden glomping attacks!" You gasped with laughter, as your sister let you go. "So what is your dad gonna do when you get home?" She asked, knowing full well your dad wasn't going to let you off for suddenly taking off like that. "Oh I just have to clean the entire house and help him with the garden. No too much of a big deal, just my social life will be nonexistent for a week. But that not what I am worried about." You spoke in a sad tone as you waited for the plane to finish it last preparations. "What are you worried about Heather?" Tea asked, as all of you waved goodbye to Professor Hawkins, Rebecca, Duke, Mokuba and Roland. "Ryou." You simply answered, making all of your friends go quiet. "You haven't seen him since you left have you?" Sam asked, which you simply shook your head no. "What are you gonna say to him?" Joey asked, in a slightly agitated tone. "Good question." You sighed, not knowing what to say to Ryou Bakura when you got home. Could you still be friends after everything that happened?
FF To back at School in Domino Japan
"Ryou I am really sorry but I am with Seto and... no that's not right either!" You spoke out loud to yourself still struggling to find a way to tell Ryou that you just wanted to be friends with him, and there was no chance for the two of you to get together. But the words weren't coming out. You had to do something because you didn't want to put strain on the rest of your friends because of what happened. It's not their fault and they shouldn't have to choose between you and Ryou. You won't let that happen you couldn't. You had to talk to him now! You took a deep breath and stated to yourself "Ready or not. Here goes."
Suddenly a pair of hands covered your eyes and a voice said. "Guess who?" "No way!" You gasped out as you recognised the voice.
"Maggie!" You declared with a smile, turning around and embracing your aunt happily, since you haven't seen her or your uncle and cousins for so long. "Hi sweetheart, it's good to see you." "It's good to see you to Maggie but what are you doing here?" You asked curiously, wondering why you aunt has come all the way to school just to see you. "Well I wanted to see you before delve into the time consuming task of housework which your father has issued to you for your little sudden disappearing act, and well I wanted to ask you if you are still available on Saturday the 4th." You nodded understanding what he meant. "Uncle David's birthday, what time is the party?" You asked, checking to see if you and your dad have time to go and see her before the celebrations. "It starts at five, so you don't have to worry about not having time to see Lily." Maggie told you reassuringly which just made you smile. "Sure I'll be there." "Alright, well I leave you to talk to your friend before you go home and get that house spotless." Maggie told you happily, nudging slightly to make you laugh. "OK. But make sure my dad doesn't leave work early, he'll just get under my feet." You joked as your aunt began to walk away. "Consider it done." Maggie stated with a smile and finally left, that was when you heard. "Heather."
You took a deep breath and turned around to find yourself facing the very person you wanted to talk to. "Hi Ryou." You spoke softly, leaving an awkward silence between the two of you, as more and more students began to leave the school, some of them being your friends, who were trying unsuccessfully not to stare and see what was going on. "Ryou..." "Heather..." "... I'm sorry!" Both of you had said at the same time, which resulted in Ryou looking very surprised at you. "Why are you saying sorry Heather? It's my fault. I shouldn't have..." "Kissed me? No you shouldn't have." You put it bluntly, as Ryou hesitated and looked ashamed at what he did, that just made you feel so guilty about how blunt you were. You took a deep breath and sighed, biting your lip. "I'm sorry Ryou because I don't have the same feelings you have for me. I just want us to stay friends." You spoke carefully, finally finding the courage to look into his hazel eyes and tell him what he should and needed to hear. There it was, the hurt you caused him, slowly seeping from his eyes, as he pulled his gaze away from yours and seemed a little hesitant. "I- I just thought maybe, but that's alright. As long as I get to see you..." He spoke softly, bringing his eyes briefly to yours and looked away again to reassure you that he had truly accepted what you had said. "Ryou..." You spoke softly, placing your hand on his shoulder causing him to look into your eyes once again, with a curious look. "Friends?" You asked in a slightly worried voice, which just made Ryou smile. "Friends, but if anything happens Heather between you and Kaiba..." "Ryou..." You sighed as he said this. "No Heather let me finish..." You sighed softly, and remained silent, letting him continue with what he has got to say. "…I'll be there for you, if Kaiba did anything to you Heather, just please don't run away again." You smiled playfully, "As long as you don't kiss me again. Deal?" "Deal!" Both of you shook on it, with smiles on your faces, finally everything was back to normal. You looked at your watch and realised the time, "Oh gotta go now Ryou. I'll see you around." You state in a hurry, running off and waving to your friends in the process, before leaving the school. You ran down the street and came to a sudden stop of sensing once again of being watched. And knowing your intuitions that you were, however this time, it felt like the person watching you was confused, frustrated, seeking answers and there was also a deep darkness that was consuming them as well, making you shiver to the core. Who could it be? As quickly as you sensed the person watching you, they disappeared again. Leaving you standing there for a moment worried about what is there to come, before you continued your way down the street towards your home.
(? POV) There she was, running along without a care in the world. Every part of your being was telling you to attack her now. However you could not, your Master had something big planned, and needed her to be oblivious as possible. However you couldn't stop yourself from going to see her and watch her. She resembles Kira so much, and in her eyes you can see the same kindness that Kira once showed you, when she tried to set you free, but she must die! Just like her mother!
(Nikki's POV) "Come on Brian you know you want too!" You pleaded desperately along with your boyfriend, the band and the entire gang, including Bakura, who had told you all that he and Heather made up with one another, but you could see that it was going to take a little while to get over her. "You lot aren't going to give up on this are you?" Brian spoke slightly agitated as he carried some more cases of vegetables into the kitchen. "Nope!" You spoke with a smile, not afraid to push him a little to get what you all wanted. To go over and at least help Heather with the amount of housework she was doing. "Nicole, leave Brian alone." Your mother inputted, giving you a warning glare. "Mr Owens it was my fault Heather left Domino without a word." Ryou spoke up softly in Heather's defence for the first time, admitting his guilt about Heather leaving suddenly. "That maybe so Ryou, however I think the main cause of my little Heather leaving was indeed was that irresponsible Seto Kaiba!" Brian spoke bitterly as he said Kaiba's name. You could understand how he felt, you were so angry with him when you found out Heather had left because of what he had said to her. However, he has been earning back not only Heather's trust but yours too, slowly. You had noticed that Heather looked so much happier when Kaiba was around, and it just seemed that a little glimpse of the real Heather Owens is shining through. Unfortunately though Kaiba has yet to managed to begin winning over Brian's trust once again, which you feared might cause the little bit of Heather that was beginning to show, to go back into hiding again, into the sanctuary which she had built for herself all those years ago, to keep herself safe when she was silent for so long.
"I cannot understand why she had forgiven him." Brian continued to rant on angrily, and without warning, without you controlling it you spoke up, "Heather can see something in Kaiba that none of us could ever understand. I think it allows her to trust him, I believe that is why she has forgiven him. I mean... my mom forgave my dad for what he did. That's why she's with you... she forgave and moved on..." After saying that everyone went quiet and you noticed your mother blushing furiously at what you had just said. "He still hurt my baby girl!" Brian spoke in a deep fatherly, angered tone that just reminded you of your dad, and how he always protected you, all those years ago, before everything went wrong. You didn't even realise that you were so lost in your painful memories that you found yourself being held tightly in a pair of warm comforting arms. You looked back a little to see it was Sam obviously he noticed your pain and had silent come to help you through it in his usual sweet manner, without saying a word. He always made you feel better. "Can we still go and see her Brian? I miss my sister!" You eventually spoke up, snapping him out of his angry moment and to fall victim to your cutest pout. "Aw now why did you have to go and pull that look for? You know I can't resist my three favourite girls when they pull that look!" Brian exclaimed trying to look away making you giggle mischievously. "I know fear our evil powers!" You declared making all your friends laugh at your sudden expression.
(Your POV) Wearing a pair of denim overalls, a long sleeved dark blue shirt, boots and your hair tied back in a light blue bandana you were dancing around the room, singing passionately with the CD player which was playing very loudly, you could have heard it half way up the street. The song that was playing was, Believe In by Skwib. You picked up some bin bags and began to dance out of the front door, towards the bin out front, completely oblivious to the world around you. All you knew was that, everything for the time being was right, all you needed now was a certain tall, dark and handsome boyfriend to turn up and sweep you off your feet. You suddenly felt a heavy hand land on your shoulder, causing fear and instinct to kick in. You grabbed the hand, and flipped the person over your shoulder with great speed and force, without thinking. Then you flipped forward, pinning the body to the ground with your knee and brought your fist ready to punch down the person if they tried to get up. However through the haze of sheer focus, you saw a pair of familiar very scared chocolate brown eyes, making you snap out of your current mood.
"Joey Wheeler! Never sneak up on me like that!" You remanded him in a worried tone, thinking you might have cause some serious damage towards your friend, as you got off him and began to help the trembling Joey Wheeler to his feet. "Heather... you are very scary when you are angry." Joey stuttered out as you helped him steady himself on his feet. "I am so sorry Joey." You apologised profusely, "Don't be sorry Heather. I tried to warn him, but no he insisted on surprising you." You hear Nikki's voice speak up in rather an amuse tone. You looked up and saw all your friends, all wearing old looking clothes and prepared to take on something. "But still I shouldn't have done what I did I am sorry Joey." You replied back, apologising again for what you did. "Ah forget about it Heather. I feel better knowing that you can take someone on. I mean you are scary when you are angry." Joey exclaimed putting an arm around your shoulders, making you laugh. "That wasn't me being angry Joey. That was me being afraid. Trust me I am not a nice person when I am angry, so... I guess I am rarely angry." You exclaim with laughter in your voice as you saw the brief look of horror on Joey's face. "So what are you guys here for?" You asked changing the subject quickly. "Your dad took pity on you!" Tea spoke up with a smile. "Yeah we have come to help!" Yugi added with that cute smile he always had. "Oh no you guys it's alright I got it covered, I can do it." You exclaim in surprise why on earth they would want to help you with your punishment. "Nu uh you are not getting rid of us that easily Heather! Besides I want to see you dance some more." Nikki exclaimed teasingly which caused you to blush furiously. "Right, take down stairs girls upstairs I want this place spotless!" You exclaim in a military tone, trying to cover up your embarrassment. "Yes ma'am!" All you friends declare each one giving you a playful salute before dashing into the house, causing you to giggle uncontrollably.
FF To the house being entirely clean
"You guys rock thank you." You exclaim as you looked around your home to see that it was beyond the standard that you could ever have gotten all by yourself. "Ah you would have done the same for us Heather." Tristan spoke up with a smile, "You better believe it. Are you all gonna be alright going home?" "Oh yeah sure Heather no worries." "Stop worry so much it's not good for you!" You friends told you as they began to leave leaving you by yourself. You let out a huge sigh and collapsed on the couch in exhaustion. It has been a while since you just hung out with your friends even when you were just cleaning your house. You close your eyes and began to be lulled into the sweet enticement of sleep, however you were soon denied when you heard the sharp trill of the home phone, making you grumble loudly in frustration as you got up and answered the phone tiredly. "Hello?" You asked slightly gruffly from you almost being asleep, but there was nothing but silence on the other end of the phone. "Hello?" You asked more forcefully, feeling irritated, some idiot was playing practical jokes again, so you just put the phone down. As soon as you did the phone began to ring again. "Hello?" You started again, trying to keep the irritation form your voice, but once again there was silence. "Stupid, inconsiderate planks!" You spoke angrily putting down the phone once again, having in ring for a third time. You just picked it up angrily, and just listened without greeting the person on the other end of the phone, and again there was nothing, this time you slammed the phone down, fully annoyed, breaking the phone entirely. "You should be careful with your possessions Kira! You never know when you might need it!" A familiar raspy voice spoke behind you, making you spin around to see your worst nightmare, the man who looked liked death and had burning red eyes standing there bold as brass, and quick as a flash her had his hands around your neck, gripping tightly, chocking the very life out of you. As you were struggling to breathe for some reason you couldn't feel your feet against the ground anymore. But he has even tried to raise you, so why couldn't you touch the floor? Were you shrinking? Because it was sure not helping your situation, as you continued to struggle to breathe. "Poor little girl!"
The shrill melodic tone pierced through your mind as you eyes snapped open and you sat up quickly panting and gasping for breath. You looked around to find yourself in your home, on your own, with the phone ringing once again. You turned to look at the phone to see it continuing to ring. Was that all a nightmare? Or is it coming true? You got up out of your seat, and walked tentatively over to the phone, looking around to see if you were safe. "Hello?" You asked softly, hearing nothing but silence...
"Hello beautiful. Did I wake you?" You suddenly heard a deep, familiar sexy voice suddenly speak on the other end of the line. "Hey you! I am so glad to hear your voice." You stated happily, longing for the physical being of Seto Kaiba to be right next to you. "I'm glad to hear yours. I have been missing you Heather. My bed feels so empty without you there." You couldn't help but fall silent and blush furiously at what Seto had said, which obviously made Seto stutter as he realised how that had sounded. "I-I didn't mean... Heather I'm sorry I..." "You just miss snuggling up to me in your sleep?" You asked with a small smirk on your face. "Yes... I mean I don't snuggle!" Seto exclaimed in a shock tone and you can imagine that faint blush that you can only can see when you really close to him was gracing an appearance on his cheeks. "Oh yes you do Mr Kaiba, you do snuggle and makes you look very cute." You continued to tease, knowing full well you making the most powerful CEO in Japan blush like crazy. "I do not! End of discussion!" Seto spoke in a flustered tone and then you heard another voice. "Seto why is your face all red?" You laughed "Hi Mokie!" You said down the phone, "My face isn't red and Heather says Hi." Seto countered trying desperately to get off the subject. "Oh! Hi Heather!" You heard the excited voice of the pre teen yell out, and then you began to hear a fight over the phone. "Seto can talk to her please!" "What about me? I have been waiting forever to call Heather!" You just giggled at the two Kaiba brother arguing slightly over who would talk to you. "Seto..." You spoke carefully with a smile on your face. "Yes Heather?" "... speaker phone." You simply said, probably creating a sudden dawning on the young CEO's face, and also you heard laughing. "Heather you made Seto go red again!" You just giggled again, now hearing the younger Kaiba's voice so clearly. "Don't pick on your big brother Mokuba!" You reprimanded him, with nothing but mischief in your eyes. "Thank you Heather." Seto spoke in that slight smug tone, obviously thinking She is on my side Mokie! "That's my job!" You then added cheekily hearing a deep groan from Seto. "Heather! I miss you so much! How are Adam and Alex?" Mokuba asked pleadingly, it was obvious he was being sincere about missing you. "I haven't seen Adam and Alex yet but I bet they are missing you, and so am I. When are you guys coming home?" You asked pleadingly, feeling your heart ache a little knowing that you and Seto weren't in the same country. "Just a few more days Heather..." That's when you heard the front door go, making you look up to see your dad walking in. "I can't wait... Hi dad!" You leaned up and kissed him on the cheek as he came pass you, as he asked. "Who is on the phone?" "Seto and Mokuba." You answered and immediately you saw his facial features darken immensely, making you look at him with a frown, he has really taken a disliking to Seto since you returned home, even when you explained he was always there to protect you, and took care of you. "Seto I got to go." You spoke carefully watching your father go into the kitchen. "Is everything alright Heather?" He asked in a worried tone, obviously picking up the phone so Mokuba couldn't hear. "Yeah it's just my dad, you're not his most favourite person at the moment since you made his baby girl run away." His end of the line went silent for a few moments, making you speak up again. "Seto, I have forgiven you and you have forgiven me. If my dad has issues he is going to have to deal with them." You spoke reassuringly, knowing full well that your dad was listening in, so you put emphasis on the words. "But I did make you run away Heather." Seto spoke softly, more of a mumble obviously trying to keep the conversation from Mokuba.
"Seto, what's done is done, we have moved on and so the same has to apply to my dad." You reply reassuringly, hearing Seto sigh lightly, "You know you are a girl after my own heart."
