Chapter 12: The Last
Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh is not mine. Anything I use that isn't mine isn't mine. Ksho, Seraphim, and my poem is mine. nothing else is mine.
AN: I am sorry, I'm starting school now so I might not be able to write/post as much as before. *gomen!*
The next morning the sun rose on Seto and Seraphim. The birds chirped happily and the warm sun's rays glimmered in the chamber.
Seraphim rolled over and cuddled up next to Seto. 'Something next to me,' she thought, 'so warm.' Smiling, she continued in slumber, unknowing what the following day would bring.
Seto was awake first. Seeing Seraphim sleeping next to him and not remembering what had happened the previous night, he panicked and looked around. All of a sudden, Seraphim's dream came to his mind. 'Someone evil?' he thought to himself. 'She said it seemed so real, I wonder if this 'Ksho' person has found us.'
Just then, Seraphim awoke. 'Hmm, I'd love to wake up to this every morning,' she mused.
"Morning beautiful, did you sleep well?" asked Seto.
Yeah, I was fine after you came," Seraphim snuggled closer to Seto. "Did you stay with me all night?" Seraphim asked.
"Yeah, I didn't want you waking up scared again. I don't ever want you to feel lonely again," Seto smiled at his angel. "Okay?"
Seraphim smiled and nodded her head childishly. "Okay."
"What do you want to do today? It's our last day before we go public," Seto laughed.
"Hm, but don't you like having a 'secret love life' with me?" Seraphim winked.
"Well yeah, but I also want to see the faces of my friends and employees when I walk in the front door with a ravishing young woman on my arm," Seto grinned.
Seraphim giggled a little. "That might be worth something, maybe we should go buy a mini video camera to tape it. You know those cool spy ones that you can install just about anywhere?" Seraphim smiled evilly.
"Yeah, it'll be good blackmail," Seto replied. "Wow, I never used to think like this. You've corrupted me."
"Naw, you've always been like this, I just helped you to realize it. How could a sweet innocent little angel like myself corrupt you?" Seraphim gave Seto a sugary sweet smile.
"Like that," he pointed out.
Seraphim sighed, "You're no fun sometimes, did you know that?"
"I was never fun until I met you," Seto smiled cheekily. "You are a bad influence on my cold business-man personality. I'll never be able to show my face in the business world again!" Seto put a hand to his forehead dramatically.
"Okay, I take that back, I HAVE corrupted you. You've gone psycho on me," Seraphim stared at Seto with wide, surprised eyes.
Seto laughed at Seraphim's obvious shock. "Oh come on, I'm just kidding."
"I know. You'll be irresistible now that you have an actual personality," Seraphim giggled and pointed a finger knowledgeably at him.
"Let's go eat, I'm hungry," said Seto, heading for the door.
Seraphim got up and followed suit. "Thanks for staying with me Seto," she said quietly, and kissed his cheek.
"Is that all I get?" Seto smirked.
"You!" Seraphim slapped his shoulder lightly. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to..." She leaned over and kissed him again. "Enough?"
Seto thought for a moment. "For now," he replied.
Later that day, Seto suggested going on a picnic by the lake again. Seraphim happily agreed. They began to make a list of everything they wanted to take.
"Do you want do go for lunch or dinner?" asked Seto.
"Well, last time we went for lunch. So let's go for dinner, you have to see the lake at night, it's so beautiful," Seraphim sighed happily.
"Can it compare to you?" asked Seto.
"Maybe," Seraphim smiled.
"Alright, then we'll go for dinner. I'll have to judge between you and that lake."
That evening, two young adults walked in the moonlight to the lake. Spreading a picnic blanket under the weeping willow, they proceeded to unpack their dinner.
"You're much more breathtaking than the lake," Seto whispered into Seraphim's ear.
"And you're too sweet for your own good sometimes," Seraphim replied, not being able to hide the blush creeping into her cheeks.
"I know," Seto smiled, kissing her cheek.
"You're also too cocky for your own good," Seraphim mock scowled.
"It's part of my charm," Seto replied, grinning.
"Charm schmarm," said Seraphim, turning on the lantern they had brought.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry," Seto reached over to grab a plate. He and Seraphim had been cooking that afternoon and there were all sorts of delicious things to eat. Deviled eggs, pasta salad, tossed green salad, chocolate and strawberry mousse, jell-o, yakitori chicken, the list went on and on.
Seto and Seraphim sat quietly for a while, enjoying the other's company and knowing that they were together was the most wonderful feeling in the world.
Seraphim spooned jell-o into her mouth and looked at Seto thoughtfully.
"What?"
Seraphim put the jell-o down and scooted over next to Seto. Looking him straight in the eye, she blinked once, twice.
"Seraphim, is something wrong?" Seto asked.
Seraphim shook her head. "Seto, I need to tell you something, but promise you'll say whatever you truly feel about what I'm about to say, okay?"
Seto nodded. "Sure Seraphim, I wouldn't lie to you."
"Do you promise?"
Seto nodded again. "I swear, I'll never lie to you."
Seraphim smiled, satisfied. Then she leaned over and kissed Seto softly. "I love you Seto Kaiba," she whispered.
Seto's eyes widened. 'She loves me too?! Woohoo!!! She loves me too!!! Alright!!!' he thought gleefully. 'She loves me too! She loves me too! She loves me too!!!'
When Seraphim pulled back, she saw that Seto had a dopey grin plastered to his face. "Um, Seto? Are you alright?" she asked.
Seto snapped out of his 'I'm so happy' trance. "I'm better than alright," he said happily. "I love you too Seraphim."
Seraphim smiled and threw her arms around Seto. "I'm so happy," she murmured as she buried her face in his shoulder. "It all feels so perfect."
"I promise we'll be together forever," Seto brushed his fingers over Seraphim's cheek and kissed her. "And even after that if it's possible."
"Anything is possible Seto," Seraphim pointed out. "If true love is possible, anything is possible."
"Is this true love?" asked Seto.
"If it isn't, it's close enough," Seraphim smiled contentedly.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Seto smiled at his angel. "I guess you're right."
Meanwhile, a shadow drew closer to the lake. 'Soon, when the moon rises above the lake, my power will be unleashed. Then, little princess, you will have much to fear, much to fear indeed.'
A shiver ran up Seraphim's spine.
And that would be the end of chapter um...12. I'll try to see if I can get up the next chapter by the time I have seven reviews though. Do you think that's enough time? Cause with school and all...we'll see.
