He walked behind her and stopped the swing. "Penny for your thoughts?" She looked up to him her eyes wide with shock. "Seto...What are you..." He smiled a little "I'm an insomniac, walking helps me to sleep." He answered she smiled "Your terrible at lying you know that Seto?" He blushed, "Mokuba tells me that all the time, I noramlly take long walks in the moonlight when I'm stressed." He laughed, she giggled slightly, "You know, I think that sounds very romantic." she replyed softly, his blush deepened. "Mokuba says it sounds corny." He laughed "So what are you doing out here?" He asked, she frowned "My aunt made her grand appearnce, she and dad started fighting about me, I couldn't stand it so I ran out." He frowned.
"I wonder if my life can ever be normal, when I was little I used to imagine myself as a pricness." She laughed at herself "I know it sounds stupid, but, all I ever wanted was to be taken away from everything by a prince, my night in shinning armor." She frowned, "But that's not going to happen, stuff like that never happens to me. " Seto frowned, he wanted so badly to tell her that everything would be okay, to be her night in shining armor, to take her away from all this misery she seemed to suffer. "It' stupid, I know, especially to someone like you it must sound immature. "
"No, it's not, as a matter of fact, I'd ike just once to get away from all the stress even if it is just for a moment. I'm out of character now, promise you won't tell them that big bad Seto Kaiba actually had a heart." Their lips were close, close enough for Seto to steal a kiss if he hadn't been so caught up in the moment. Everything seemed so perfect, until a brooklyn accented voice broke it. "Hey there you are Danielle, Yugi' and Pegasus have been looking for you." It was Joey. Seto shook his head as he walked up to the blonde "Geez Kaiba you have a knack for showing up when I don't wanna see you." Seto almost burst out laughing "Well you have a knack for ruining my good moods so we're even, you pathetic little barking dog." At this he turned on his heel and walked down the path oppposite of the way he had been going. "Bye, Seto, I'll see you later." Danielle called to him before she began to walk off.
"So what were you and Kaiba doin' anyways?" Joey placed his hands behind his head walking in a casual manner. "We were just talking, Why? Is there something odd about seeing me talking to Seto?" Joey smiled a little "Actually considering who's daughter you are there is." She frowned slightly.

That was it, Seto was sure of it, fate was out to get him. Someone up there wanted his life to be miserable. Perhaps a relationship between himself and the red haired Crawford girl was just to much to ask for. Perhaps someone knew that the possibilty of Pegasus being your father-in-law would lead to suicide. But no matter what happened, fate sucked, very badly at that.

"Dad?" Danielle looked to her father as he sat down and placed a hand on his forehead in thought. "What were you sisters like when they were little?" He frowned deeper. "Hinoto was quiet and shy, most of the time she hid behind me, needless to say Kanoe didn't like that, I guess that's why I let you hide behind me most of the time when you where young. Because it reminded me of Hinoto and there were times when I missed seeing her." Danielle frowned as she sat down beside her father. "And Kanoe, the one we met tonight, what was she like?" Pegasus chuckled a bit "Pardon my french but she was a bitch, a grade A certifed bitch. And she made sure everyone knew it. She walked around threatning people, she had our parents in a iron grip, she hated Hinoto for hding behind her older brother, and she hated me for letting her hide behind me." He sighed "There were times I thought about running away, but then Hinoto said or did something that reminded me there was still someone there that needed me. Hinoto was blind at birth but did Kanoe care? no. I never even thought of actually going through with leaving until I met your mother." He sighed and she gently hugged her father and lay her head down on his chest. "Your so much like your mother do you know that?" She smiled a little as she closed her eyes and let the gentle crackling of the fire and the sound of her fathers gentle heart beat lulling her to sleep. The soft sound of his voice singing the words. "Oh,oh, I can't let you go my little girl, because your holding up my world so I need you."
