************* Chapter Two **************
Kaiba sighed as he walked around the Domino City Park. The park had a man- made lake in the center. As he gazed into the water, he saw Maria's smiling face gazing back at him. Shaking his head, Kaiba continued walking. Ever since Friday when he first met her, he had been unable to forget her. Today, Sunday, he had decided to take a walk in the park to try and forget her.
With a start, he saw the figure he had been imagining for two days sitting in front of an easel by the water's edge, looking from the canvas to the lake.
Kaiba sneaked up behind her and looked over her shoulder. Maria didn't seem to notice him at all. She was busy putting the final touches on the surface of the lake. The painting was in oils and glistened where the paint was wet. It looked just like the lake in front of them, only there were mountains in the background where there weren't any in real life. In the foreground, there was a cottage among the trees instead of a bench. And hidden in the tress was a man that looked familiar, yet Kaiba couldn't place it at the moment.
"Yaten, you smudge this again and I'll make sure they don't find your body." Maria warned with out looking at who was over her shoulder. She almost smudged it herself when a familiar deep voice whispered softly in her ear, "I'll remember to tell Yaten."
"Kaiba!" she said in shock as she whirled around. He was giving her a look she had seen so many times, it was sickening. 'Great. There goes the guy I thought actually had a brain.'
"What are you doing out here all alone?" Kaiba said before he could help himself. Then he mentally smacked his forehead and groaned, 'I am such an idiot, sometimes.'
Maria gave him a glare that would have frozen hell over, "Is it really any of your concern?" Looking at her watch, she let out a small scream, "Oh no! Papa is going to KILL me!" she exclaimed before packing up as quickly as she could.
Kaiba watched in amazement as she took of for the part of the town that was falling apart. Shaking his head, he started back to the main gates where his ride was waiting for him. It wasn't until he was half way home when he realized that the man hiding in the make believe trees was him.
^ Meanwhile, at Kia's House ^
Kia slammed her fist down on the table, causing Yaten and her boyfriend, Ryou Bakura, to both jump. "I don't get it! We tell Maria everything, but we don't know a thing about her!"
Yaten said quietly, "Well, I have a pad of paper. Let's write down what we know, and what we want to know. Maybe she didn't tell us everything as a group, but separately." Nodding, all three of them told the others everything they knew about Maria. They were shocked to find they only knew her name, a few of her likes and dislikes, and that she lived only with her father.
Kia mused out loud, "She is so secretive. I wonder if- Nah. He wouldn't do it."
"Do what?" Ryou asked curiously, having a sneaky suspicion it had something to do with Seto Kaiba.
Yaten just mused silently as Kia said they could get one of their other friends to get close to Maria and find out more about her life. He blurted out when she was done; "It won't work."
Catching Kia's death glare, he explained, "Maria is way too intelligent to fall for that. She'll know right away. And no one we know would understand Maria. Heck, WE barely understand her."
Kia placed a hand on her chin, "You've got a point. John and Brad wouldn't do it, and everyone else is already paired up."
Yaten suddenly perked up, "Hey, why don't we ask her muse to help?" Kia and Ryou shared a look before grinning and starting to set things up. If Kia, Ryou, and Yaten were ever good at one thing, it would be matchmaking.
