Chapter 3

Mai woke up and wondered where she was. //Oh, right//she thought //I'm at the Kaiba mansion and Seto kissed me last night. Then he ran away, that coward!//

She wandered around the mansion for a while. Eventually she came to an open door. She looked in to see Seto, spralled on his bed, the wall above him cracked slightly. //I didn't know he could look peaceful!// was her thought as she wandered dwn to the kitchen.

Seto woke up, yawning. He got up and looked in the mirror. //I look like crap!//He thought. Then he wandered down to the kitchen. He stopped in the doorway, because he saw Mai. //Why is she still here! Can't she go home by now?// Just then, Mai turned around.

"Hi," She said.

"Um, hello,"He said. //What! Um isn't a word! Why'd I say it?//

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No, nothing," Seto said hurridly, then he walked away.

//Grrrrrrrrr! MEN!// Mai thought. Then she ran after him, but couldn't find hime anywhere. //He doesn't seem to be able to face anything that requires him to be human!//

Seto slumped on a bench, stareing at the water that flowed past him, sparkeling in the sunlight. He had walked to the river that flowed past the mansion. Sitting there helped him think. //What is happening to me?//He wondered.//Why do I feel like this? Is it... is it love?// Suddenly, he jumped up and ran up to the mansion. When he got there the butler informed him that Miss Valentine had left. //What! Why? How could she?// Seto stumbled blindly to his office, feeling like someone had stabbed him in the heart.

On the other side of town, Mai was sitting in her "apartment," a dingy little room that was the best she could find, on her limited budget. It held a small bed and a table that looked like the onlything holding it up was hope. She was very depressed and wondered why she decided to live in this place.

*Ring, Ring* Mai opened her cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi!"Anzu said, "What's going on with you?"

"Well,I need some advice," Mai said, "What would you do if you loved someone and they didn't love you back?"

"I don't know," Anzu said, "Who's the guy?"

"Seto."

"What! Who would fall in love with him?" Mai hung up.

"She's no help!"

"That's it, I'm going to talk to Seto!" Mai said. She hurried to get her car.

When she walked in, Seto was paceing in the hall, swearing under his breath.

"Hi, Seto," She said. He looked up, jumping in suprise.

"Oh, hello Mai," He said, blushing.

//How do I say it? How do I say that I love him?// Mai thought.

"I... I love you," She blurted.

"What!" Seto said.

"I love you," Mai said,"I don't care what you think, I love you. I will always love you!" Seto walked away, she followed.

"At least say something!" She said.

"I...I... dammit, Mai!" Seto said, bewilderedly, "What did you do to me?"

"I didn't do anything to you!"

"Well, I can't stop thinking about you! I don't understand it!" Mai reached for Seto and grabbed his hand. He pulled her into his arms.

"Maybe," Seto said, "Maybe I love you too!" Then he kissed Mai. Her last thought, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, was,//Maybe he is human after all!//
