lil angel/devil: Anzu has caught up! I'll post the votes at the end of the chapter.
Jou: Back to da Selena-Setra-me-Mai thing.
LAD: I thought that I would get a flame for the last chapter, but I'm glad I didn't. And Setra won't fall in love with Jou!
Jou: That's good news.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Mai?" asked Setra.
"Don't act all innocent on me. I can see through your act," replied Mai, nearly hissing.
"What act?"
"That act! If you think he'll fall over on your charms, you're sadly mis-"
"He?"
"Yes! Jou!"
Setra smiled. This was exactly the reaction she had been hoping for. She laughed.
"What's so funny?" asked Mai.
"The idea that you think I like Jou!"
"You don't?"
"No!"
"Oh, ok then. Forget what I just said." Mai was surprised by Selena's response. She doesn't like him! she thought happily. But she was now embarrassed by her actions. "Sorry for yelling, Selena."
Setra replied with a nod. "Wait," she said as Mai started to leave, "do you like Jou?"
Mai bit her lip. She had never been really good at lying to others when it concerned her liking someone.
Setra understood her silence. "I thought so."
"Jou seems to like you...a lot," said Mai slowly.
"But he likes you a lot more. I can see it in his eyes," said Setra. It was true. She had seen the truth in his eyes when he was talking to her. "He's afraid of being rejected."
"Scaredy cat," mumbled Mai quietly.
Setra laughed. "There you go! That's the kind of attitude you should take towards this. Seriously, the jealous-faking-friends type really doesn't suit you."
"I have to tell him first, huh?"
"Yup. I'll go get him." Setra left. She went towards Jou.
"Mai wants to see you. She's right there," she said to him.
Setra watched anxiously as Jou went over to Mai. Please let this work!
She watched as Mai talked to Jou. He was looking surprised. Then...he kissed her. Setra nearly shouted at her success.
But she did trip at seeing how he had kissed Mai. "Ouch," said Setra at both her fall and the kiss. "Jou needs kissing lessons. Mai's poor nose!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setra sneaked back quietly into the house. She quickly turned out the shower, and washed her hair, making the dye go out.
After a few moments, Setra stepped out. She dried up and dressed. She went down. Her brother was there, reading something. He looked up, a slight frown on his face. "Your hair," he said, slightly amused.
Setra dashed to a mirror. Just above her forehead was a tinge of yellow that she had missed.
"Oops."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setra worked furiously with Shizuka at the science project.
"Yes! It's nearly done!" exclaimed Shizuka.
"This is due on Friday, but today is Tuesday. Let's take a break and work on the rest tomorrow," said Setra.
"Ok," said Shizuka. The two were at Shizuka's house, working on the project. The teacher had explained that it would be a group thing, but the last half of it would be done at home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setra went home. It was barely 4:30. She whistled slightly.
Then she remembered someithg: her brother was at home ALONE with Anzu also working on the science project right now. Mokuba was at a friend's house.
Setra's first thought was to rush home in case if Seto was strangling Anzu because she couldn't remember some of the chemicals' uses. But then she thought better of it. They're home...alone. It's a perfect time to have them work out their differences. But I better spy on them just in case.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaiba was having a quiet tantrum. Why did I have to get paired up with that nuisance?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu felt like knocking her head against the wall. Kaiba was getting on her nerves. For the first time in her life, she considered dropping her cheerfulness and friendshippy-ness for a second and kick Kaiba really hard. But she didn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why don't I just do all the work? You can go home and work on your aggravating friendship speeches or something," Kaiba said after a while.
Anzu glared at him. "No I can't! This is a group assignment Kaiba! We're suppose to work on this together. And my speeches are not aggravating!"
"Then get this right, Mazaki! I don't have much time to waste."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setra crept to the mansion. She jumped the gate. She looked around, seeing no one. Setra reached the mansion, walking quietly along the wall. She found a window. She looked inside. Setra smiled. Perfect...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There," said Anzu, as she poured a purplish liquid into the last test tube.
"Finally," said Kaiba. He had just finished the charts he was working on.
Both rested for a moment in the silence.
"So..." said Anzu, trying to start up some sort of conversation. "Um...how's Setra?"
"She's fine," said Kaiba simply.
"Oh...then how are you?"
"Fine."
"Your mansion?"
"Fine."
"How's your company?"
"Why are you asking so many dim-witted questions?"
Anzu frowned angrily. "I was just trying to start up some conversation."
"Well, you're not doing a very good job."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setra watched all this from the window. She was glad that it was open since she could hear the conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Finally finished," Anzu said. "My fingers are killing me." She placed the last period on the paper.
Kaiba smirked. He put all the test tubes with the liquid in it into a plastic bag. Cotton was also placed inside to cushion the tubes so they wouldn't break.
"I'm glad we finished it early," remarked Anzu.
Kaiba said nothing.
"Are you going to the Winter Formal?" asked Anzu. She immediately regretted it. He doesn't go to dances! He never went to an of them!
"No."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes you will," said Setra from outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Isis touched her Millenium Necklace. She got nothing. She frowned. Why does it not work?
She walked around the museum, rubbing the necklace every now and then.
Isis looked through a window.
A limo drove up. The black window in the back seat was down slightly, covering the person's face, but Isis could make out a bit of brown hair.
Isis looked at the limo more closely. Yes, it did look like it. And that brown hair was unmistakable. She frowned slightly. What was Seto Kaiba doing here?

lil angel/devil: Seven chapters into my beautiful story. ^_^
Bakura: It's not beautiful.
LAD: Shut up.
Ryou: Voting status: Shizuka: 13 votes, Isis: 13 votes, and Anzu: 8 votes.
LAD: Oh, and if there is more than one person with you who want to vote, please have them give their votes in separate reviews instead of them all in one review because it's hard to tell whether those people really did vote or if the reviewer just made it up so his/her vote could win if all the votes are crammed in one review.
Bakura: In other words, you don't trust your reviewers.
LAD: I trust my beautiful reviewers! It's just that it's hard to tell. So don't think I don't trust the reviewers.
