Chapter 3

"Sister" Kei worriedly said.

"What?" Kairi popped out of her room.

"I couldn't let you do it" Kei confessed.

"What are you talking about?" Kairi came out confused.

"I couldn't let you do it....... I went down today....... I am your partner" Kei finally said.

"What? No! You're going to get hurt" Kairi mad at her brother.

"I couldn't let you do it alone" Kei sighed.

"No, brother...... Who is going to look after mother" Kairi worriedly also.

"It is arranged..... I will be your virtual eyes....... And mother has been put in the hospital as promised by the head boss"

"Virtual eyes...... you will be out of danger" Kairi looked on the bright side.

"And you know mother will be much better off in the hospital where doctors can watch over her" Kei added.

Kairi didn't say anything more.

"Sister...... Don't be mad" Kei sighed.

"I'm not.......I guess it's better this way.... I don't have to risk my life trusting another person" Kairi gave in.

"Partners" Kei reached out his hand.

"Partners" Kairi grabbed it and held it tight.

"Oh...... Before I forget...... This came for you" Kei pointed at the plastic covered packet.

"What is this?" Kairi questioned.

"I think it's your dress" Kei answered.

Just as Kairi pulled out the amazing dress the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it" Kei didn't want to ruin his sister's only time she would see a dress so beautiful and expensive.

"Seto Kaiba?!" Kei shocked to see such a wealthy man at his doorstep.

Kairi had heard what her brother had yelped and quickly released her gaze of the dress and rushed to his side.

"Kairi" Seto greeted her in his cold hearted voice.

"Kei, I got this" Kairi motioned her brother to step away.

Seto stared at her.

"Seto" She broke the silence.

"May I come in?" Seto harshly asked.

Kairi nodded as she opened the door wider.

"What is this?" Once in, immediately Seto noticed the dress that she couldn't have possible afford, and if she could of there would be no reason to need it.

"I have a dinner party for work" Telling the partial truth.

Seto started his suspicious, but he trusted Kairi.

"Was there something you needed to talk about?" Kairi changed the subject.

"I want you to stop this" Seto came straight out.

"What? Stop what?" Kairi confused.

"I will give your brother is job back" Seto sounded harsh like usual.

"My brother has a job" Kairi moved closer to Seto.

"Then why are you working?" Seto snapped.

"My mother is the hospital now...... We need all the money we can get" Kairi looked at the ground not wanting Seto to see her lying eyes.

"I will take care of all expenses" Seto quickly answered.

"No offense....... I need my income to be stable" Kairi started to turn away.

Seto grabbed her arm. "What are you implying?"

"Nothing" Kairi didn't stare into his icy blue eyes, like she use to.

"Kairi....... There is no point in continuing this pathetic conversation....... I'm offering you what you always wanted" Seto getting impatient.

"No Kaiba" Kairi started.

Seto flinched at the sound of his name. He hated when she used his last name as poison as if she never wanted to touch or love him.

"You already gave me what I always wanted........ you showed me love and affection and you made time to spend with me...... And I know your doing you best and that's all I ask for" Kairi buried her face in Seto's chest.

Seto put his arms around her and held her tight.

"When I first met you I thought you were a snobbish rich conceived man who did not have the ability to love and you showed me that you could" Kairi kept talking.

"You really thought that?" Seto was surprised.

"Yeah....... I also thought you were extremely cute too" Kairi laughed as she met her eyes with his.

"Sister........ Sorry to disturb you....... But Mr. Myojin is here" Kei reported.

"What? I'm not ready yet" Kairi looked at the time. "He's early!"

"Mr. Myojin?" Seto raised his eyebrow.
