A/N: I've always wanted to try integrating song lyrics into a chapter. This is "I'm Not In Love" by BBMAK.
*Don't think that you got me girl
Don't think you can tame me and change me
Don't think that it's all because of you*
Kaiba stormed off across the grounds, his thoughts now a muddled mess. I can't believe this. he thought. She...
He shook his head furiously, causing his mahogany-colored hair to wave all about. He couldn't think straight. With a sigh, he got into his car. But didn't drive off. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Kyara's retreating back faded off into the distance.
*Just because I don't run around
Just because we're forever together
Don't you think of a four letter word to use*
For a moment, Kaiba felt a pang of guilt mixed with regret nag at his heart. He shook it off. Absently, he slowly slid the key into the ignition. Had he done the right thing? He sighed and tried to ignore the sinking feeling he had in his chest.
*So what if I just don't want anybody else but you
So what if you're all that I ever really wanna do
I know what you're thinking
But that doesn't make it true
Believe me baby*
He started the car. The road, people, and buildings passed him in a blur as he drove on. Had he done the right thing? He grimaced as the question seemed to repeat itself over and over within his mind. Kyara...
*I'm not in love no not at all
what makes you think you made me fall
I slip but no I'm not in love
What if I just can't sleep at night?
I see your face in the starry skies
so high above, but girl i'm not in love*
After what seemed an eternity, he finally arrived back home. For a reason beyond him, he half-expected to see Kyara sitting next to him, cheerful as always and ready to work on their project. But the project was done. And so was probably any chance of seeing her again.
*Don't think that you got it made
Don't think it's so easy to keep me
Never know it could all just fade away
So what if i just don't want anybody else but you
So what if you're all that i ever really wanna do
I know what you're thinking
But that doesn't make it true
Believe me baby*
"Hi Seto!" Mokuba cried as he stepped through the front door.
Wordless, Kaiba nodded in acknowledgement. Mokuba peeked over his brother's shoulder. "Where's Kyara? Isn't she with you?"
Kaiba winced at Mokuba's imploring eyes. "N-No. She's not coming over today..."
"Oh." His face fell. "She promised to duel me today."
Slowly, Kaiba made his way up the stairs.
*I'm not in love no not at all
what makes you think you made me fall
I slip but no I'm not in love
What if I just can't sleep at night?
I see your face in the starry skies
so high above, but girl i'm not in love*
"Seto?"
"Yes, Mokuba?" he stopped mid-step to face his sibling.
"You know Kyara loved you, right?" he said quietly.
Kaiba bit his lip. What could he say? How could he tell him that he had broken her heart? I think your brother's adorable. Kyara's voice echoed in his memory.
*So if my heart just skips a beat
what if i lose a little sleep...*
Kaiba now lay on his bed, his mind still in turmoil. What to do...
He closed his eyes, but all he saw was the way Kyara's face had fell when he broke her heart...
He fell back against the pillows. "No." he said to himself firmly. "I'm not in love."
*Don't think that you got me girl
