Yami Kaiba-Sry, I didn't have time to update but I promise to update a lot during vacation.

Kaiba-Okay now to the story.

Disclaimer-I don't own a single thing.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Kaluri's POV

How can he be so heartless? I loved him, I always have. How could he say that to me? I kept my promise to him; I came back. I never want to see him again, he is so heartless…How could he have changed so much in such little time. What did Gonzaburo do to him? Perhaps auntie was right, perhaps the only way to avoid the pain of a broken heart is to be an ice queen. Perhaps the only way for me to do that is to break off from society, I guess I'll start doing that at my meeting with KaibaCorp. I really don't want to see him again but I guess this meeting is important…………

End POV

After that Kaluri went to put on her ice blue business suit. Then she applied a coat of light icy pink lip-gloss and put her long pale blue hair in a half pony and curled the rest of her hair.

At the meeting Kaiba's advisors started to talk about the girl.

One of the men said, "I've heard that she's extremely smart, in fact I believe that she has several degrees from Harvard and Yale.

Another one laughed and replied, "I've also heard that she's extremely beautiful."

Then Kaiba walked in and silenced his advisors and sat down in his chair. As he sat down, Kaluri entered from the other side of the room with her advisors. As she walked in, a shiver went down Seto's spine-she looked even prettier then the morning but everything about her was pale, icy and withdrawn, everything except her eyes. There was fire in her eyes and they burned like wild fires. There was a moment of silence and Kaiba started talking.

"Miss Takashi, will you please display your most advance technology." Asked Kaiba.

The girl replied with a little smirk, "I'd love to, but I don't think your computer has enough power or space to support what I have to demonstrate. If I did try it on your computer, the impact will blow up the building."

Kaiba replied, "Madam, I think I will take the risk."

Kaluri replied, "That's okay MR. Kaiba, I bought my own computer to demonstrate." After the demonstration, Kaiba realized that her company's technology was far more advanced than any other and was determined to get this contract.

After the demonstrations ended, Kaiba announced that he would like to sign a contract with TakashiCorp. Kaluri laughed except her once beautiful laugh that sounded like a thousand bells was sharp like ice, then she said, "Mr. Kaiba, you have seen how advanced our technology is; however, we do not have a clue about yours, so would you minded giving us a demonstration of your most advanced technology."

After seeing KaibaCorp's most advanced technology (the virtual world thingie) Kaluri agreed to the contract. Then the girl walked out of the room without saying another word and left her advisors to draft up a contract with Kaiba. As she left the room something fell out of her pocket; however, she didn't notice a thing. When Kaiba went to pick it up after the meeting, he realized that it was the locket, but the glass was shattered because of the fall, inside it was a light purple handkerchief with her initials in blue. Kaiba picked up the handkerchief and it smelt like lilies with a hint of white plum. Then he pressed it gently to his nose, closed his eyes slowly and inhaled the sweet fragrance. Then a single tear fell on to the handkerchief and it was gently placed inside Kaiba's trench coat pocket.

As she rode in her black limo, Kaluri's hand went to her pocket and she realized that her locket was gone. As she was about to tell the driver to turn back to KaibaCorp, she stopped and realized that if she was truly to become emotionless she was to forget the past. Then tears fell from her blue eyes and she struggled to stifle her crying. After she told the driver to stop, Kaluri rushed out of her limo with tears on her face. As she ran amongst the crowd, the girl crashed into no other than Joey Wheeler. Without noticing this, the girl just kept running. Joey followed the crying girl and grabbed her hand when he caught up to her. "What's wrong Kaluri?"

"Se-Se-Seto" Before she finished Joey yelled, "What did that bastard do, tell me, why I'll teach him a lesson. (Cracks knuckles)"

Kaluri shakes her head and faints from exhaustion. Joey picked her up and carried her to his house, where he laid her on his bed, and then he picked up his green coat and walked over to Kaiba's house.

Bang Bang Bang

Mokuba opened the door and let in an angry Joey. "Hey Joey, what's up" asked Mokuba.

Joey replied in an irritated tone, "Nothing, where's your brother?"

"In his room."

Then Joey stormed up the stairs and knocked open Kaiba's door. Kaiba walked up to him and asked, "What is the meaning of this Wheeler?"

Joey gripped Kaiba's shirt and said, "What did you do Kaluri. Why was she crying when I saw her?"

Kaiba then knocked Joey's hand away and threw him on the wall and asked, "What, where is she. Tell me."

Joey answered, "She's at my house."

Then Kaiba grabbed his trench coat and run out of the room, he muttered to himself, "the mutt better of not done anything to her." When he arrived at Joey's house (with Joey chasing him) Kaiba opened the door to Joey's room and saw Kaluri sleeping peaceful. Then he picked up the girl and carried her to his limo. A breathless Joey yelled, "Kaiba what are you doing?"

Kaiba ignored him and just laid the girl on the limo seat and got in afterwards. When Kaluri woke up in the Kaiba Mansion (without knowing that it's the Kaiba Mansion) she got up and started wondering around. When she reached Kaiba's study, the girl peeked in to see Kaiba holding her handkerchief to his nose smelling in with his eyes closed as if he trying to remember the past. Then on the table she saw the three lockets, one broken, one shattered and one perfect. There was something else that caught her attention: the tears on Kaiba's face. Confused by this, Kaluri walked back to Kaiba's room and climbed back to the bed. She slowly raised the bed sheets to her shoulders and laid her head on her knees.

KaLuRi'S PoV

Perhaps Seto hasn't changed; perhaps he is like me, emotionless on the outside. Gonzaburo must have taught him the art of being stolid, if that's true than Seto have mastered that technique. I guess I should be ashamed of myself considering that I still haven't mastered the technique around certain people. Still why does my heart tell me that Seto is emotionless on the inside too. Do I distrust my own eyes; I saw those tears on his face. I don't know anything anymore.

As Kaluri looked up, Kaiba walked into the room. At first Kaluri thought she saw relief in his eyes, but the next minute there was nothing, his eyes were as blank as coal. Kaiba turned to lock the door. When he turned around, his face was full of emotion. There was sadness, happiness, relief and guilt at the same time. Kaiba took out a locket out of his pocket and handed it to Kaluri with his eyes looking down. When she took his hand, Kaiba flinched and looked up to see Kaluri's eyes staring into his, with tears glistening down her cheeks, she whispered, "Seto what did he do to you, tell me Seto, what happened?"

Kaiba smiled and answered sadly with his finger tip on her lips, "Shush, you need to rest, you don't need to know happened, it's not important." Then he ran his hand through her hair and laid her down, but as he bent down to hug her, Kaluri saw……..
