Last time on Shadow Duelist: Kaiba's man had caught Mokuba and Crystal. They where then taken to Kaiba Corp. headquarters. Mokuba was taken to the doctor and Crystal was taken to Kaiba's office where the to met face to face . . . . . . .

"KAIBA! What the hell is going on?!" Crystal yelled finally pulling out of the guards grip.

He stared at her anger and hurt in his eyes "What's a matter didn't think you'd get caught?"

"Caught? Doing what?" she said irratededly.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I know you kidnapped Mokuba!"

Crystal's eyes widened "Kidnap? Why would I kidnap Mokuba?!"

"You tell me?!" he glared at "Your sick you now that SICK!" he yelled the last part

Crystal glared at him "I'm SICK? Well incase you forgot YOU kidnapped ME!"

"That's different! And I didn't kidnap you I caught you!"

Crystal couldn't help but smirk "You caught me?! What am I a fugitive? I was taking a walk. Is that against the law? Or maybe I'm in trouble because I wasn't supposed to walk on the grass!" she said sarcastically.

The guard grabbed her arm and lifted her in the air "You little brat! You should show more respect to people that are better than you!"

"Hey! Let go that hurts!" she said struggling to free herself from the man's grip. Kaiba nodded and the man let go. Crystal looked at her wrist it was starting to bruise.

Kaiba smirked seeing her wrist "That's only a sample of what I'm going to do to you. Mokuba is the most important thing in my life. And I'll make you pay for hurting him", he said it with all the anger and hate he could. (And that's a lot!)

Crystal looked at the ground a minute and sighed. After a few seconds she looked into Kaiba's eyes but this time her eyes were pleading and it looked like she was trying to hold back tears "Seto I would never hurt Mokuba. I know you love him but listen to me. I swear I would never do anything to hurt him or you . . . . . . . "

Kaiba looked at her. He was being torn in two. His mind saw her as an enemy someone who had lied and hurt Mokuba someone that should be punished. But his heart saw her as an innocent. That part of him wanted to hold her and comfort her. Tell her he was sorry and everything would be all right. Kaiba sighed as he finally pushed those feeling out of his mind.

"I'm done listening to your lies." He said flatly. Kaiba glanced at the guard "I really don't care what you do with her" with that he walked out.

Crystal watched him stunned "But I-" she was cut off by the guard as he punched her in the stomach.

"I'll teach you respect one way or another!" he said as he kicked her in her ribs.

Crystal slowly stood up holding her side "If you don't mind I think I'll pass. I'm not big on school during the weekend" she grinned a little.

"Well well aren't we mouthy. I guess I'll just have to beat it out if you!" he grabbed her by her shirt collar and threw her across the room and into the wall. But instead of falling or showing any sign of pain she turned around and glared at him. The man was taken back by this she seemed different she was more confident and something he just couldn't put his finger on it.

'Crystal' glanced at the door then him "You're lucky. Normally I would beat the $h*t out of you but I have to catch up to someone." With that said she ran past the stunned guard and out of Kaiba's office unfortunately for her their where two other guards outside the door. But after a few well-placed punches they were unconscious on the ground. However just as she was about to leave she felt a blow to her head she turned around just in time to see the other guard but her vision started to blur and she fell to the ground. The guard grinned evilly.

"Time for your lesson" he said as he pulled her up by her collar. He punched her in her gut several times. Next, he through Crystal to the ground and kicked her in the ribs he laughed evilly as he kick her a second time. There was a crack sound. /I must have broken one of her ribs/ he just laughed harder and continued kicking her.

****Meanwhile****

A very angry Mokuba sat on the table. He had woken up a few minutes ago and refused to listen or cooperate.

"I don't care what you say! I want SETO!" Mokuba yelled he wasn't sure if they really worked for his brother. He just wanted Kaiba. And the fact that Crystal was missing made him want Seto even more. Finally the little boys wish was granted as a farmiller figure came in the room.

"SETO! You're here!" Mokuba yelled as he jumped into Kaiba's arms. The older boy couldn't help but smile as his brother buried his face into him.

"Calm down Mokuba. I'm here." Kaiba looked over at the doctor. "Is everything alright?" he said a little nervous.

"Nope, he's fine"

Kaiba ruffled the boys hair "That's good to here"

Mokuba suddenly remembered Crystal and he panicked "Seto, is Crystal all right? That's man hit her pretty hard! Is she gonna be okay?"

Kaiba looked at his younger brother shocked "Mokuba! She kidnapped you! Why do you care if she's all right?"

Mokuba raised an eyebrow "Kidnapped? Crystal didn't kidnap me. She helped me when to bullies where picking on me and she helped me find a gift for you." Mokuba dug in his pocket and pulled out the gray bow he handed it to Kaiba. "I hope you like it."

Kaiba opened the small box and pulled out the Crystal dragon "Mokuba it's wonderful!" Kaiba hugged his younger brother. Suddenly it hit him /All I said to her and . . . . . . ./ Kaiba hurried out the room toward his office with Mokuba right behind him.

****In the office****

Crystal yelled out in pain as the man slammed her against the wall. He through her to the ground and smiled

"Lets see if those ribs still hurt!" he said as he pressed his foot into her abdomen. He smiled at the yell of pain. Crystal was unconscious but she still felt it. And at seeing her pain the man pressed his foot in harder. Suddenly Kaiba burst through the door.

"Stop!" Kaiba yelled at the guard. He just stood there with a stupid look on his face. "GET OUT!" Kaiba yelled angrily. The guard hurried out of the room.

Mokuba ran over to Crystal he looked her over a minute. There was a gash in her left arm and there was a little stream of blood coming out of her mouth. "Wake up!" Mokuba yelled as he started to shake her. However since she had broken ribs this wasn't a good idea. And she let Mokuba know by yelling out in pain. He turned and looked at Kaiba "What happened? Why did that man hurt her?!" Mokuba demanded.

Kaiba looked away ashamed at what he had done. /I'm such an idiot! Look what I've done! I'll never forgive myself! / Kaiba gently picked Crystal up and gestured for Mokuba to follow him.

"Where are we going big brother?" Mokuba ask nervously

"Home"

***At the mansion***

Crystal slowly opened her eyes at first everything was blurry but than it got clear. However before she could move a black blur wrapped itself around her.

"Hello . . . Mokuba!" Crystal said tying to keep from yelling out in pain. "If . . . you . . .don't mind. You're . . . . . hurting . . . . . me" At that Mokuba released his death grip on Crystal.

"Sorry! Its just I was worried about you!"

Crystal glanced around the room "Mokuba where am I?"

"Let me explain . . . . . . . . . ." Okay so Mokuba explains all the stuff that happened. (What you expect me to type that all over again? I don't think sooooo. Anyway on wit da story)

"So Seto brought you here and wrapped up your cuts" Mokuba said happily.

"Yeah, he also CAUSED the cuts" Crystal said bitterly.

Mokuba sighed "Please Crystal. Seto didn't know he was upset because he thought I was hurt. You see I'm the only family he has left and vice versa."

Crystal looked away from Mokuba "Well . . . . ."

"You should have seen the look on his face. He felt horrible and you know he didn't have to bring you back here," Mokuba pointed out.

"True . . . . . say where is Kaiba"

Mokuba looked at the door "Well, he wanted to be alone he's in his room. And he hasn't come out in awhile."

Crystal couldn't help but feel bad "Where is his room?"

Mokuba looked at her a minute debating if he should tell her. He finally caved "It's the last room in this hallway. It's on the left."

Crystal nodded "Thanks Mokuba"

The little boy smiled "It's okay! Listen I'll be watching T.V in the living room if you need me"

Crystal smiled "Okay bye" Mokuba left happily. Leaving Crystal to her thoughts. /Well, he did bring me here and Mokuba DID say he felt guilty. Oh my god! I can't believe this after everything that happened I couldn't stay mad at him! Damn Seto! Why do you have to be so screwed up! And why do I have to care . . . . . /

****In Kaiba's room****

~~ Kaiba's point of view ~~

I paced back and fourth trying to sort through my feelings. I was mad at myself for hurting Crystal. Mad at Mokuba for sneaking of. Mad at Crystal for caring about Mokuba. Mad at myself for being such an asshole. I was mad at everybody and at the same time I wasn't.

"Crystal I'm sorry" I whispered holding back the tears that threatened to come pouring out.

I never had met a girl like her she was intoxicating. When I was around her I was whole complete even happy. But when we where apart she was all I could think about.

"Well, it doesn't matter now" I said softly. And it was true. What small chance I had with her before was gone. I mean what was I supposed to do go: I'm sorry for ordering a man to beat the $h*t out of you. Will you go out with me? Kaiba chuckled. That should work. Yeah like h*ll it would.

I slowly walked over to the balcony in my room. It had a beautiful view of the back yard. Must of the time I would sit up here and watch Mokuba play. I sat there looking at the trees and the sky until I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turned around and there was Crystal.

~~Normal (or end Kaiba's view)~~

"Um I'm sorry to barge in but I knocked and nobody answered. If you want me to leave I can" Crystal said nervously.

Kaiba shook his head "No, It's all right"

There was an awkward silence. Kaiba finally snapped.

"Crystal, I swear to god I never meant for. Well I didn't want. I would never." Kaiba struggled to find words to explain.

"Never hurt you or Mokuba" Crystal said questionably.

He looked at the ground "Yeah"

"You know I have the right to be p*$$ed off"

"I know" he looked her in the eyes "I except it"

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you." Crystal said softly "But I can't be mad. You were worried about Mokuba. You did all that out of love and I can't be mad at you for that" she smiled at him "And you admitted you made a mistake"

Kaiba smiled back at her "Only you would think like that"

She grinned more "Thank you"

Kaiba sighed, "Lets get out of here"

Crystal looked over at him "that's the best idea you have had all day" with that they headed to the living room were Mokuba sat on the floor was watching a movie.

"Mind if we join you?" Kaiba asked ruffling the boy's hair.

Mokuba giggled "Sure"

Kaiba and Crystal sat on the coach. The movie went on for a little bit longer until the phone rang.

Mokuba sprang up "I'll get it!" he said happily. When he returned he was grinning ear-to-ear "Brother, my friend Joe is having a sleepover can I go PLEASE!" Mokuba gave Kaiba his best puppy dog pout and it worked.

"Okay, Call me when you need to be picked up. And have fun"

Mokuba ran up stars got packed and left in a total of 3 seconds. This left Kaiba and Crystal alone watching the movie. It was a very good movie just very long. By the time the finale credits ran they were both fast asleep. (Mhuhahaha *cough* I mean how cute ^_^)

Kaiba slowly opened his eyes. It took him a couple of seconds to grasp what was going on. He was laying on the couch on his side. That was normal what shocked him was Crystal. He had his arm around her. She was cuddled into his chest. It was odd part of him was shocked and another part was content. Kaiba's stirring had caused Crystal to wake up. She slowly raised her head so they were only inches apart. Kaiba looked at her he couldn't hold the feelings back. He leaned forward and kissed her.
