The words struck such an impact on Seto. Never had someone said something so sincere to him. Usually a girl would pretend to love him, so that they could be famous or something. He'd actually fallen in love with one of them, and one day, that girl broke his heart. But Serenity was different; she used a tone that the other girls had never used. A sincere tone. A tone that couldn't be faked. The hole in his heart-was finally healing. And here the girl of his dreams was crying-on his chest and he didn't know how to make her feel better. However, he had his instincts. He wrapped his strong arms around her shoulders.

'I love you too,' he whispered in her ear. His eyes felt moist as he put his face on Serenity's shoulder. 'I love you too,' he repeated.

The day passed, and Serenity didn't go to school. Seto made a phone call to the school, pretending that Serenity was ill, and could not go to school.

The hours flew by as Seto stayed at Serenity's side. Finally, she had gotten over the fact that he was dead. Serenity did not go to school for a week-during that time-her injuries healed-and she could be another a normal girl again. It was Sunday, and the two had nothing to do. Really, Seto, was at her school as well, and had been absent. He could just use the excuse that he had gone for a business meeting that happened all the time. Seto had gone to Kaiba Corp for more information on Joey Wheeler. They told him he had been cremated, a year ago.

'The ashes,' he questioned, 'Where are the ashes?'

'I-I-I don't know sir.'

'Where are the ashes,' he questioned again.

'I-I-I don't know!'

'Then who does?'

After a long discussion, he was told that the ashes had been thrown into the ocean.

'And why did you do that?'

'Well, there was no known family member!'

'You Lie. His Father and Sister are still living.'

'They are?'

'Yes there was you fool, another fatal mistake and I will personally fire you.' With that he turned around and got back into his limousine, in which Serenity was waiting for him.

'By the looks of your expression, I can tell that there is no good news.'

'That you can say. They cremated him a year ago, and the ashes are now in the ocean. Damnit.'

'Seto, it's ok, it's ok, we can just let him have a marker stand, so that people can remember him.'

'Still.'

'It's ok,' She turned to look at him, and gave him a hug, 'I'm already really thankful for what you've done.'

'But-,'

'It's ok, I couldn't ask for more.' She smiled ruefully as she ruffled his hair.
