Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and have anything related in the making. I
don't own any characters. The original character that I own is Kairi and
her parents....... Ok maybe the name has been in my other fictions and
isn't that original, but it's hard for me to think of a Japanese names and
I like that one =)

Chapter 17
Kairi went through the days quietly, she couldn't concentrate on anything. The following week consisted in the same manner, and as Friday came around the corner. Kairi had dropped off Sandra at the Kaiba mansion as promised for the sake of Mokuba. She rode home and found that Mr. Shiratori and Mrs. Shiratori were both home and dressed.
"Kairi...... Join us in an evening out?" Mr. Shiratori said as he heard his adoptive child walk in.
"Of course" Kairi respectfully answered.
"Please go and get changed........ We will be down here waiting for you" Mrs. Shiratori smiled at her only child.
Kairi nodded her head and paced herself to her room to change.
"Honey....... I'm going to miss her so much" Mrs. Shiratori turned around to complain to her husband.
"I will too........ I wish there was some other way........ but who would want to give up Kairi? I have to admit if she was our daughter and I was in their position......... I wouldn't give her to anything in the world" Mr. Shiratori confessed.
"We have a couple of days with her....... Let's make this memorable for both of us" Mrs. Shiratori glanced at the top of the stairs.

"Sandra........ what's wrong?" Mokuba stopped in their mid battle.
"Sorry" Sandra snapped out of it and pressed some buttons.
*Game over Player Two Wins*
"Hey! I wasn't paying attention!" Mokuba laughed up.
"Sucks for you" Sandra pretended to smile.
"What's wrong?" Mokuba repeated knowing she wasn't having much fun.
"Just Kairi....... She seemed a little down when she drove me here" Sandra sighed.
"I think she and my brother got into a fight" Mokuba looked down.
"What? Really? What happen?" Sandra asked quickly.
"I don't really know......... you remember that day? When I came over? Well when I went back......... Seto was really mad and everything" Mokuba explained his side of the story.
"But........... This sucks" Sandra pouted.
"Yeah...... But I'm sure they get over and by next week they be all happy again" Mokuba smiled thinking of their future.
"I hope so" Sandra sighed and pressed start on the game.

"Kairi....... My loving daughter........ Please pack all your belongings by Sunday......... We have a big surprise for you" Mrs. Shiratori tried to smile.
"How come?" Kairi swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking.
"If we told you it wouldn't be a surprise would it now dear?" Mr. Shiratori as his optimistic self.
Kairi smiled.
"Good now...... Finish up dear....... Were taking you to your favorite dessert shop next" Mr. Shiratori said.
~*~
The clouds and sky were turning the most magnificent colors as the usual Shira Inc limousine drove up the Kaiba mansion. The driver, when reached the point, he opened the door for the beauty to retrieve her friend.
Kairi knocked on the door of the mansion and awaited her greeter. A brown haired, blue eye, teenager came to open the door and harden his eyes when he saw the person standing in front of him.
"Do I not make it clear that I do not want you on the Kaiba mansion perimeters?" Seto harshly spoke.
"Have I not the right to know my crime first?" Kairi snapped back.
"Don't act stupid....... I found your past........" He raised his voice and angry with every word.
"My past?" Kairi afraid of those words. 'Oh no.... did he find out about the past with the Shinomori?"
"Your past......... Don't think I wouldn't find out" Seto crossed his arms.
"What was that you have revealed of me?" Kairi didn't want give it away so fast.
"I am not an idiot.......... You have lied to me and everyone else....... "Seto was angry at the fact that he met one decent girl and she turned out to be a traitor.
"My past concerns nothing of you, why do you care about something like that so much?" Kairi sighed. She knew he had found out about her past. How the Shinomori brought her nothing but pain and sorrow, how she was a poor girl. 'It was because I was poor in my past? That is why he is mad at me?"
"Why shouldn't I? Once I accept you into my life you will turn around and betray me" Seto spoke in a harsh and deep tone.
"If you treat me like them I will" Kairi started to cry.
"Kairi!" Sandra heard all the yelling and quickly followed the noise.
"Seto" Mokuba followed behind her.
"What's going on?" Sandra noticed the tears in her eyes.
"Nothing" Kairi tried to wipe her pain away.
"Absolutely nothing" Seto repeated.
"Come on Sandra" Kairi motioned for her to come with her. Sandra nodded and obeyed.
"Mokuba, get ready for bed" Seto demanded of his little brother.
"Mr. Kaiba......... I assure you that I will not be on your property again" Kairi didn't look back as she stop and left her final words to him.
Kairi didn't wait for an answer as she quickly got into the limousine with Sandra and immediately drove away.
"Kairi....... What happen?" Sandra finally asked.
"Seto found out about my past" Kairi confessed.
"Your past?" Sandra curiously repeated her statement.
"Yes........ I never told you....... but I was once a very poor girl........ My parents use to beat me till I was immune to bruises....... thought I still have remaining scars...... They are not much visible" Kairi began her painful past.
"That what Kaiba is angry about?" Sandra couldn't make any connections.
"Fed up with the beating and being treat like a slave instead of their own daughter........ I ran away" Kairi finished.
"I don't get it Kairi" Sandra needed an explanation.
"Mr. Kaiba said that he thinks I'll run away from him like how I ran away from my own family...... he doesn't want to accept me because my past was poor......" Kairi started to tear.
"Don't cry Kairi, he was a fool to let a girl like you slip away" Sandra tried her best.
"Thanks" She had her best attempt to form a weak smile.
"You'll find other men........ They all throw themselves at your feet!" Sandra could stand to see her cry.
"Not like him" Kairi knew that she was going to be in pain and turmoil.
"Don't cry Kairi........ Everything will be okay" Sandra hugged her.
~*~
"Big brother" Mokuba had gotten ready for bed and wanted an explanation for the argument he had just heard.
"What Mokuba?" Seto was typing on his computer once again.
"What was that all about?" Mokuba walked into his office.
"She is a traitor........ do not get near her" That was all Seto answered with.
"How?" Mokuba asked as the curious child he was.
"She brought down many companies to bring Shira Inc on top...... She was using me.......... To break our company" Seto stopped typing and stared at his brother.
"Really?" Mokuba believed every word
"Yes" Seto continued his momentarily paused typing and heard Mokuba quietly step back into his room.
"I can't believe the one woman I open up my heart to........ Turned out to be a girl like her" Seto life was now returning to the original rotation, circling around his company and his little brother, leaving love behind.
