Cat woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming in through the window. She blinked sleepily as she sat up in bed. Looking around at the unfamiliar surrounds she wondered where she was. Then it hit her. 'I must have fallen asleep while watching the movie.' Cat thought as she got out of bed. She turned and started making the bed missing the fact that Seto had just walked in behind her.

"You don't have to do that." Seto said startling her. Cat's hand flew to her chest as she spun around to see the smirking CEO.

"Seto, you scared me." She said as she returned to making the bed she had slept in. After she finished she turned around to face him. "How did I get from the couch to here?" she asked him. She was pretty sure she already knew the answer; she just wanted to hear him tell her. A blush crept up Seto's cheeks.

"I carried you." He muttered glancing at her face to see her reaction. He was rewarded with a smile as she put her arms around his neck. She hugged him tightly then let him go, but not before whispering thanks in his ear. She released him just as Mokuba walked into the room. The two turned to look at him as he made his way towards them.

"Breakfast is ready, Seto." He announced before leaving the room again. Cat and Seto looked at each other and then headed toward the kitchen.

"So what are your plans today?" Cat asked Seto as they sat down. It was Saturday so they obviously didn't have school.

"I have some business to attend to." Seto said mysteriously.

"What kind of business?" Cat asked interested.

"Nothing that you need to worry about." Seto answered. Cat didn't ask any more questions. Seto made it obvious that he didn't want her to know about. 

After breakfast Cat started heading to the door. "Well, I should probably be getting on home." She said. "I bet Yugi and Grandpa are wondering what happened to me."

"Will you come back over tonight?" Mokuba asked suddenly. Cat looked up at Seto.

"If your brother says it's ok." She said looking at him. Seto glanced from Mokuba to Cat. He had some business to take care of today and he didn't want Cat to know about it. He didn't know how long it was going to take and he didn't want Cat stumbling in on this particular "business" meeting.

"Sure, how's nine sound?" Seto asked. He didn't know how long his meeting would last, but he figured they would defiantly be done by then. Mokuba turned and looked expectantly at Cat. Cat nodded her agreement as she turned to leave.

"Would you like me to send for a limo?"  Seto offered as he walked her to the door.

Cat shook her head. "No, I'll just walk home. It's not that far and I haven't walked in forever." She said as she turned as started walking home. Seto watched her until she disappeared from sight, then turned and strode back to his office. He shut the door and picked up the phone and made a call.

Cat made it home in fairly good time. She heard the tinkling of the bell that her grandpa had put over the game shop doorway.

"Ah, Cathryn, good to see you made it home safely." Her grandpa said entering from the back room.

"Yeah, sorry, I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie with Seto." She explained.

"I know, Kaiba called last night and told us where you were." Grandpa said as he turned to go into the back room. Cat followed behind him.

"He did?" she asked. She didn't know that.

"Yep, he said that he would let you sleep in an extra bedroom he had." Yugi said entering the room accompanied by Joey, Tristan, and Tea.

"So you spent the night at Kaiba's" Joey asked nudging her in the ribs. "So what was it like?" he asked smirking.

"Not like what you're thinking!" Cat protested blushing.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Joey asked still smirking.

"I know you!" she yelled at him. "Nothing like that happened Joey!"

"If you say so." Joey said as she sighed and headed up to room.

"Mr. Kaiba, a man is here to see you." His intercom buzzed. Seto looked up from the computer program he was working on.

"Send him in." Seto said leaning back in his chair and crossing him arms. In walked Thomas, the man from the business party.

"You're late." Seto spat as Thomas strolled lazily into the room. It was already eight and Cat was coming over at nine.

"Well, imagine my surprise to be summoned here by the great Seto Kaiba." Thomas said smugly ignoring Seto's comment, walking into the room. "I'm assuming that this isn't a social call, you and I have never been on the best of terms." Thomas said with a hint of hate in his voice.

"It's hard to like someone that tried to steal your own company from right out under you." Seto said icily.

"You don't deserve to run this big of a company, it should have been mine." Thomas said balling his hands into fists.

"I didn't ask you here to talk about the past." Seto said averting the subject.

"Then why am I here?" Thomas demanded.

"To talk about that stunt you pulled with the newspaper." Seto said.

Thomas broke into an evil grin. "So you figured out that I was the one that got that article written on your little girlfriend."

"It wasn't hard; you wanted me to know that you wrote that article. I'm here to tell you to leave Cat out of this. She has nothing to do with anything." Seto demanded.

"Getting a little nervous are we Kaiba? Why? Did she get all upset, are you in the dog house with your woman. Don't worry, I bet you can buy her into a better mood." Thomas said spitefully. Kaiba stood up. "She's not like that." Seto said with a glint in eye.

"Yeah, at least that's what she pretends to say." Thomas said.

Seto's eyes narrowed to slits as he stood up and glared at Thomas. "You had better leave Cat alone or else!"

"Is that a threat?" Thomas asked.

"No, it's a promise. Now get out and I don't want any more lies spread about Cat again. You hear me?" Seto demanded. Thomas turned as strode out of the room with out a word, contempt written on his face.
