As the gang walked away from Kaiba's blimp, a chopper landed right in front of them, and a girl dressed in a pair of jeans and a pale purple sweater stepped out of it. This girl looked strange.. she has pale blue hair, icy blue eyes and icy pink lips set upon a pale face. Everything about this girl was pale and icy.sorta like Seto Kaiba. As the chopper flew away the girl asked, "Excuse me, but do you know where I can find Seto Kaiba."

A disgruntled Joey retorted, "Why'd'ya wannna find that losa?"

After he said that, the girl narrowed her eyes and remarked, "I wasn't asking you mutt."

As the others try to suppress Joey from punching the girl Yami remarked, "It isn't very nice to call people mutts."

The girl smirked and said, "Who asked you runt. Just tell me where Seto Kaiba is."

While the gang argued with the girl Mokuba and Seto walked out of the arena and saw them at it.

Mokuba-"what's going.Kaluri!!!!"

As Mokuba ran to Kaluri, Seto narrowed his eyes and stood there expecting her to beg him for money.

A beaming Kaluri stated cheerfully, "Hey kiddo how are you, I missed you. You've grown a lot, the last time I saw you, you were only a foot tall. And Seto was not so hot, damn you're fine" Kaluri circles around Kaiba and whistles. "Damn, you're hot, I'd say that you're hotter than Orlando Bloom.. even if he was shirtless."

Mokuba, "You look like the snow queen. You're all pretty and icy."

A smiling Kaluri remarked,"I feel insulted, hey Seto why are you so quiet, cat got your tongue?"

A grumbling Kaiba retorted, "What are you here for. And it's Mr. Kaiba to you"

A smirking Kaluri replied, "Well, I'm here to see my favorite guy and his big brother."

A laughing Mokuba said, "Are you going to stay here?"

An annoyed Kaiba asked, "If you're here to get money then forget it. Have you got any idea how many people from the orphanage "visit" me when they have financial problems."

After he said this, the girl slapped him round the head.

"Seto Kaiba, do you really think I would beg you for money, I thought I was your friend, everyone tells me that you're a huge asshole but I didn't believe them, I guess I was wrong, you are an asshole, now I don't even know why I was even your friend. Goodbye Mr. Kaiba, I assure you that I wouldn't trouble you again, and you can just forget about signing a contract with TakashiCorp. I'm its owner."

Joey-*whistles*

A very surprised Kaiba scowls, "shut up loser."

Kaluri-"He's not the loser..you are, come on guys, why don't you let me take you guys to dinner as an apology for earlier."

A startled Mokuba cried out, "Kaluri, don't go, please."

A sad Kaluri replied, "sorry kiddo, but your brother probably don't want me in your mansion. Bye kiddo, I'll see you around, ok?"

An angry Kaiba remarked, "That's right, I never want to see your pathetic face again."

A crying Kaluri whispers as she walks away, " Seto, where are you? I feel in love with Seto ever since I was eight and I will always love him, but Kaiba's not Seto, he's Kaiba, the stolid CEO of KaibaCorp, not the nice friendly boy I once knew. Gonzaburo, what did you do to that sweet and innocent boy I once knew?"

A startled Yami remarks, "What did you say."

A smiling Kaluri remarks after she turns her back on Kaiba, "I was merely telling Mr. Kaiba that I won't trouble him again and that he is a fool to insult the CEO of TakashiCorp. As CEO of TakashiCorp, I control thirty percent of all KaibaCorp stocks.

A startled Kaiba remarked, "What? How can you own thirty-percent of my stocks, the last time I checked, TakashiCorp only owned twenty-percent of my stocks."

A smirking Kaluri answered, "Things change within a blink. And perhaps by the end of this day I will be the CEO of KaibaCorp."

As Kaiba watches the gang walk away with the girl, a memory he had long forgotten came back to him.

Kaiba's Memory

It was nine years ago when he first met the ice queen of the orphanage, when he arrived at the orphanage with Mokuba he heard the others talk about the ice queen. It was rumored that she was the heir to a large amount of wealth; the other children thought she was snotty because she was a loner and had an icy personality that's colder then snow. The other thing, children hated about her were her clothes, she was far better dressed then all of them combined, and also the girl got better food and different teachers, everything she had was better. One day, when Seto took Mokuba out to play, they saw the "ice queen," the girl was typing away at a laptop, but something else caught Seto's attention, it was the tears glistening on her pale cheeks. When he saw this, he told Mokuba to stay where he was, so he can go cheer the girl up.

"What's wrong, why are you crying?" asked Seto.

The girl replied with a haughty glare, "Why do you care, aren't you afraid that if you stay around me too long that you'll turn into a snowman? Besides I hate it when people invade into my life."

A confused Seto replied, "How would you turn me into a snowman, and besides I was trying to help you, why are you so indifferent anyways?"

The girl replied, "I wouldn't turn you into a snowman, that's only a rumor, the other kids think I'm the ice queen because of my complexion, and I'm stolid because that's how I was brought up. My parents were really rich and they had a company, because I was their only child, I was the heir to the company and they said that CEOs of companies were emotionless. So mommy and daddy told me that I have to be emotionless around strangers. I was crying because I have no friends and I want to go home with my auntie, but she's very depressed so she left me here with my tutors and nannies. Oh yeah my name is Kaluri. What's yours?"

A smiling Seto replied, "My name is Seto, I like your name, it's strange but pretty, like you. Do you want to be my friend?"

Kaluri smiled and her pale cheeks turned a rosy pink color, "Sure."

As time went by the two became best friends, nothing could break them a part, this friendship lasted for four years until one unexpected thing happened. It was a summer night and Seto was fast asleep until Kaluri rushed in and woke him up.

A crying Kaluri whispered, "Seto I have to go, my family-my auntie, uncle, and grandmére are picking me up tomorrow, they're taking me to Paris. I don't think I'll ever see you again because my daddy's company's in America and my auntie thinks it too painful to come back to Japan, that's why they sent me here for this whole time."

A startled Seto replied, "Don't cry, maybe your wrong, maybe your auntie and uncle will let you visit. If you can't come then promise that you won't forget me."

The whimpering girl replied, "I promise."

The next day, right before Kaluri's butler came to pick her up, Seto went to give her something, and it was a locket his mother gave him when he was little.

A smiling Seto remarked, "Here, my mommy gave me and Mokuba three lockets, I want you to have the extra one, there's a picture of the three of us in each of them, promise that you'll wear it always. And promise to write to me."

After he said this, he kissed the pale girl on the lips and ran away.

Back to the Present

"Big brother, big brother, wake up."

A startled Kaiba wakes up to find Mokuba shaking him, then something fell out of Mokuba's pocket, it was the locket. When Kaiba saw it, he picked it up and opened it, inside was the picture of the three of them smiling, when Kaiba saw Kaluri's smiling face, he realized that she wasn't smiling when she told her that she owns 30% of his stocks, she was crying.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

A sad Kaiba blurted out, "About the mistake I've just made."

A smirking Mokuba asked, "You still love her don't you, I knew it, I knew you couldn't bear hating her even though you smashed the locket because she didn't write to you."

A frowning Kaiba answered, "I don't love her, I was talking about the deal I just lost."

Deep inside him, he knew that he loved Kaluri but it was too late to tell her, he knew that he has turned her into a true ice queen and the only way for him to earn her love is to defrost her but how can he when she hates his living guts. Besides, how can you defrost a ice queen? He remembered that he smashed the locket on his fifteenth birthday because the girl didn't write to him even though he made sure that every newspaper and every T.V station announced his address, he thought she forgot him already and in his anger, Seto destroyed the locket.
