Chapter 9: Kisses in the Dark (A/N: I realize that there is also a story with the same title, I started writing this BEFORE I discovered this, also the storyline basically follows the storyline in this chapter. Just know this is purely coincidental and not deliberate.)
*Dream*
The deed was done, Ghadious was gone, banished to the Shadow Realm. And Astret's time on Earth was no more. The entire Royal Court was present for Astret's return to the Heavens, and no one else was more depressed than High Priest Seto. Over the days she had stayed, he felt his own emotions rise.
*Flashback*
Astret was sitting alone in her room as usual, nothing new there. The entire room was dark and the only light that shone through was when Seto opened the door to gain entrance.
"Your nightly visits are becoming more often High Priest..." Astret said absentmindedly.
"I thought I had discussed with you this 'High Priest' nonsense, My Lady," Seto replied, his eyes not once leaving her, even though it was only her back since she was turned away from him.
Astret turned to him, smiling a rare smile, "And what have I told you about calling me 'My Lady'?" She asked, facing his azure eyes.
Seto walked over to her, Astret had now turned to face him fully,
"May I?" Seto suddenly asked.
Confused, Astret said nothing, and without another word Seto cupped her face in his hands and slowly lowered his face down to hers. Astret could do nothing in her defense but enjoy the touch of his lips on hers.
*End Flashback*
Seto stood quietly amongst the others, it was time for Astret to go, and he didn't know how to react. His questioning was answered when Astret walked up to him, leaning in to hug him, burying her face in his chest.
"Don't cry, I'll find a way to reunite us again, I won't stop until I do..." He paused.
Astret gazed up at him, removing her arms from around him, she slid off one of her Bracelets and silently handed it to him
"I just want you to keep this, as long as you and I both have one, our bond will be maintained forever..." With that, she walked over to a small clearing and allowed a silver light to envelope her body. Tears rolled down her cheeks. The light grew until it lit up the entire horizon, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the sudden light. Once it dimmed, the space in which Astret stood was empty. However, this was not the only empty space, Seto's heart felt more empty then ever before....he could have sworn he heard her voice,
"You'll always love me, won't you Seto?"
As the days became weeks, and the weeks became months, Seto's heart grew more and more cold, and he became more and more obsessed with the dark arts. Constantly reminding himself what he was doing this for, who he was doing this for. But the entire palace knew of his experimentation and the Pharaoh ordered his guards to capture him.
"Though he is my cousin, his obsession with the dark arts has driven him insane. Execute him!!!" (A/N: Writing that really hurt!!! Y.Y)
*End Dream*
Icey's eyes shot open to hear the sound of her alarm clock beeping. She ignored it and tried what she could to steady her breathing. Her sheets were damp with sweat.
"What was that dream...?" She asked herself, sitting up. Another bead of sweat ran down her face.
A sudden knocking on the door snapped her out of her reverie. And Seto's voice could be heard,
"Get up and turn your damn alarm clock off!! It's been ringing for the last half an hour!!!" He knocked on the door again. Seto really didn't want to talk to her but he knew ha had to eventually.
Icey wiped the sweat away with the sleeve of her night shirt. What a way to invite a Saturday morning, she got up, brushed her teeth, had a shower, then appeared in the maids dress she had to wear. Icey yawned and stretched making her way down to the kitchen, she giggled upon remembering a helpless Bakura dangling outside the carriage on the ferris wheel. The sunlight shone through the open window in the kitchen, making it look more inviting. Hah, what a joke, the kitchen was just a place to cook and wash dishes, it was also a place Icey had learned to get away from as soon as possible. But still, Icey didn't really mind making breakfast for the Kaiba brothers. She began searching around for eggs, deciding to make the classic, pancakes. Instead of eggs she found a stereo, well not find since it was highly visible sitting right in front of her on the counter. She tuned it in to her favorite radio station, they were playing 'Crazy in Love' By Beyonce Knowles. Icey couldn't help but sing along.
"I look and stare so deep in your eyes, I touch on you more and more every time, When you leave I'm beggin you not to go, Call your name two, three times in a row, Such a funny thing for me to try to explain, How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame, Yeah, cause I know I don't understand, Just how your love can do what no on else can"
Icey danced around the kitchen pointlessly, still singing, "Got me lookin so crazy right now, Your love's got me looking so crazy right now, (Your love) got me lookin so crazy right now, Your touch's got me lookin so crazy right now, (Your touch) got me hopin you page me right now, Your kiss's got me hopin you save me right now, Lookin so crazy in love got me lookin, got me lookin so crazy in love," Icey would have continued on but a voice made her jump,
"What the hell are you doing?????!!!!" It said.
Icey spun around to be almost face to face with Kaiba. She let out a yelp,
"Don't do that!!!!!" She yelled clutching her heart, "Goddamn, I think I skipped a heart beat!!!!!!!" Icey waiting for her heart to stop racing. "See, it's still going bada-boom!!!!"
"I said, What the HELL are you doing????!!!!!!!!" Kaiba asked again, getting annoyed.
"Uh...." Icey thought for a moment, "Mokuba did it!!" Kaiba didn't buy it, he just stared at her bluntly. "Um....It turned on by itself.....?"
"Keep trying..." He said flatly.
"Ok, OK!!! I was going to make breakfast for you and Mokie!!" Icey admitted, "I can at least start acting like a maid!!"
Kaiba raised an eyebrow, "Making breakfast you say? By dancing around like a headless chicken?" He folded his arms.
"Precisely!!...." Icey joked, Kaiba wasn't amused. "Alright, sorry. Pardon my planet!!!"
Kaiba said nothing, so Icey spoke up
"Just go wait in the dining room..." She muttered spinning him around and pushing him out of the kitchen.
Icey walked back over to the counter, resting both hands on it, she closed her eyes and let out a sigh, "Why don't I feel so uncomfortable around him anymore?" She asked herself.
"Anything the matter Icey?" A gentle voice asked.
Again, Icey was shocked by the sudden voice and jumped again, spinning around. This time, Mokuba stood there.
"Uh...n-no Mokie, everything is all good!" She reassured.
"Ok then," The little boy replied, "Can I help make breakfast?"
Icey smiled, "Yeah sure,"
Mokuba grinned, "Pancakes right?" He asked, taking out the eggs.
Icey nodded, when she was about to ask about how he knew, Mokuba cut her off.
"Just a lucky guess!"
In next to no time, pancakes were already frying away in the pan.
Mokuba looked on, a serious expression on his face, there was something he desperately needed to share, well wanted to share anyway, "Icey, the day after tomorrow is a really special day. A lot of things happened on that day that I think is important Seto and I bring up,"
Icey flipped a pancake over and put another on a plate, "Yeah, go on,"
"Well, it's the day that we were adopted, and it was also on this day that I gave Seto a picture of a blue eyes-"
"A Blue Eyes White Dragon?" Icey echoed.
Mokuba nodded his head causing his shiny black hair to jiggle around, "Yeah, also, as if that weren't enough, it's Seto's 18th birthday next week too!!"
~Whoa, Seto is only 18!! And already he's drop dead gorgeous!! Note to self, remember it's his birthday!!!~ Icey shot a look over to the calendar, ~October 25th, remember that Icey!!~ Icey tuned back into Mokuba's speaking.
"And I was wondering if you could help me celebrate it!" He concluded.
"Mokie, you know I'd love to help, just say the word and we'll start planning!!"
Mokuba beamed, "Great, thanks a lot Icey!!"
Icey winked at the boy, "No worry's!! Anytime Mokie!!"
The two finished off the breakfast and carried it outside to where Kaiba was sitting, Icey placed the plate in front of him,
"And here we go... Mr. Kaiba," Icey put a great deal of sarcasm on the last two words. "I'll be upstairs if by some chance you wish to talk to me." She said, specifically noting to Mokuba, he just grinned and nodded.
Kaiba watched her walk out of the dining room before turning to his younger brother, "What was that about Mokuba?" He asked.
Mokuba looked at his brother and smiled, "Oh, nothing, just an inside joke..."
Kaiba raised an eyebrow, "And let me guess, I'm on the outside right?"
"You betcha!!" Mokuba laughed, eating some of his pancakes.
Kaiba let out a sigh, reminding himself never to leave those two alone again. Icey was up in her room, looking out of the window. It was funny how unpredictable the weather could be. Just before the sun was shining, and now, dark clouds rolled in from over the horizon. Icey narrowed her eyes, wondering how it was that she was going to banish Ghadious, it seemed like an impossible task. Would anyone be hurt or possibly killed in the process?? Icey shook her head, she couldn't start thinking that way, there are always plenty of ways to save everyone, anyone!! She directed her violet eyes out the window again, the sky had darkened quite a lot. Suddenly with a sudden surge, the lights in the entire mansion went out, along with the rest of the lights in Domino City. Icey gasped, then slowly relaxed, just a small power outage, no big problem, she was sure Kaiba would have a backup generator or something,
"Icey..." An eerie voice whispered.
Icey's entire body tensed up, the voice itself sent chills down her spine, and it was only then did she realize just how alone she really was at that moment. Icey could have sworn the temperature of the room dropped as well as she slowly turned around, only to face a pair of beautiful golden eyes amongst the darkness.
"Shadows are everywhere, Icey, and where they are, so am I..." It said.
Icey backed up against the window, she had a slight suspicion as to who it was, "I know who you are... I'm not afraid of you!!" She stated calmly.
Ghadious scoffed, "Even my shadows cannot hide your fear, nor the truth..."
Icey furrowed her brow, "What truth??" She demanded.
"The truth that you will not succeed, for my power far outmatches your own!!"
"M-maybe I won't, but the others will!!" Icey stammered.
"If they try, they will all die because of you, give me the Bracelets Icey, give them to me and I will spare your pitiful friends..." Ghadious offered.
"N-no, I w-won't let them down!!" Icey said firmly,
"You fail them more if you refuse me Icey..."
Icey was speechless, what could she do? What was Ghadious planning to do if she did refuse him? What if, what if... Icey's thoughts were interrupted when Kaiba slammed the door open, instantly, the pair of eyes disappeared,
"Icey!! Are you alright?" Kaiba asked.
Icey barely nodded, Kaiba walked into the dark room, closing the door behind him. Icey watched as he walked over to her, he stopped in front of her. A light rain began to fall from the dark sky. Icey was beginning to feel uncomfortable, she had a nervous feeling in her gut. Something wasn't right about Kaiba, it was clear just by looking in his eyes. Icey forced herself to speak, but when she did, it was just above a whisper,
"W-where's Mokie?" She asked.
"Downstairs," Was all Kaiba said in reply.
(Mou Daremo jama dekinai, 'Kiss' o uketomete, Ai dake o tashikametai motto, Yo ga akeru mae ni)
Kaiba hesitated before speaking again, "Icey, what you said last night, was it-" Icey cut him off,
"Don't Kaiba!! Don't start with that!! You don't need to say anymore about it!!" Icey shut her eyes tightly and shook her head. The pain from the night before was beginning to resurface.
(Aoi yoru no hikari, subete tsutsumikonde iru, hoshi o miageteru dake)
Kaiba grabbed her by the shoulders to stop her from shaking her head anymore. With out another word his lips were pressed against hers. Icey didn't know what to think of it. Her eyes widened, and she could feel her entire face heat up. She tried to break from his embrace, but her tiny efforts seemed hopeless. Soon, Icey began to relax, her eyes softened as she slipped her arms around his neck drawing him closer.
(Kitto omou yori mo, zutto watasho no kokoro wa, atsui omoide ippai na no ni)
The rain outside began to fall heavier, Kaiba released her shoulders, only to slip them around her waist instead.
(Hitotsu dake, negai ga todoku nara, kokoro tsutaete)
Icey was the first to pull away, emotions were flickering across her wide eyes,
"Seto, now.....wh-why now...?" She couldn't even form a straight sentence anymore, how ridiculous. Icey's lips were still tingling however, most likely from the touch of his.
Kaiba looked at her, his eyes narrowed, "Sorry ok? I-it's just that no one has ever said that to me before, I didn't know how to react...But now I know, that it's certain," He pulled her into his embrace again, his chin resting on her shoulder. Her soft hair brushed lightly against his face as he continued speaking, "I know that right now, with all that's happening, was not the best time to do what I did. But I realized this last night when you told me, when I saw your shocked expression, it hurt. And I can't hide this any more..."
(Mou daremo jama dekinai, tsuyoku dakishimete, kokoro made tsuresatte isshou ni, yo ga akeru mae ni)
Icey narrowed her eyes, she was almost in tears, as much as she wanted it to happen, she knew that Ghadious would come after him if he knew. And that was something she wouldn't be able to bear.
"When I still had my mother, she used to hold me at night and tell me that love was the most powerful thing, and I'd realize this when I grew up. I always thought she knew something more about what was in store for me... But now I finally understand what she meant..."
(Beru no naranai yoru, shashin no egao mitsu mete, anata no koe o omoidashiteru)
Kaiba pulled back, his eyes were as soft as they ever will be, filled with mixed emotions,
"Seto, you know that this is...this isn't right. You'll be putting yourself in danger, and if you do get hurt, I'll never get over it!!" Icey said, her next words were cut off when Kaiba kissed her again, their hearts beating in unison next to each other.
Once more Kaiba let her go, Icey was in tears, her face was pressed against his chest, sobbing quietly, Kaiba closed his blue eyes,
"Baka, Icey, hontou ni baka..." He whispered (Translation- 'Idiot, Icey, you really are an idiot..."
(Nukumori o, chikaku ni kanjitai, fureaeru hodo,
Mou daremo jama dekinai, nido to hanarenai, yume no naka tabi shitai dakara, yo ga ake ru mae ni......)
A sudden glow caught the two off guard, they separated and stood back from one another, the soft silver glow was shining from Icey's bracelets, and suddenly, from the Eye of Horus on each bracelets, several thin ribbons of light were emitted, one of which shot straight into Kaiba, where it now resided. The other shot out the window and wnt their separate ways,
"What just happened Seto?" Icey wondered.
"The powers of the bracelets, have been unlocked....."
"But why...and how....??"
~*Meanwhile*~
Ghadious shook his head, being back in the underground cavern on his dark throne of a black mist.
"My good will, refused, and so my hand is cast!! I must strike what they all hold dear. Pain and suffering will tear away their unity..." Ghadious looked up, his long pale face darkened, "Tetsuya!!" He called. On cue, a tall figure appeared, his black hair fringed over one eye, falling into a low ponytail at his back, his dark green eyes shone through the darkness at the Demon Lord before him, Ghadious smirked, "Go and have some fun Tetsuya, show them the true meaning of 'pain'. Tear them apart!!"
Tetsuya smirked, making him look horrifyingly handsome, "Hai...I shan't disappoint you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Icey's notes: Well, now what is Tetsuya-kun planning for our more or less heros? How did Icey unlock the Bracelets power? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN Read to find out in the next chapter. Oooh yah, the lyrics to the song are here too. They appear in order so don't worry.
No one can get in our way anymore,
Now please take this kiss from me,
All I want to do is confirm our love just a little more,
Before the day breaks.
I'm just looking up at the stars,
That wrap everything,
In the blue light of night.
I'm sure my heart,
Is a lot more full of passion,
Then I think.
If only one wish,
Comes true,
Show him my feelings.
No one can get in our way anymore,
Now hold me as tightly as you can,
Take me away with you into your heart,
Before the day breaks.
On nights when the phone doesn't ring,
I gaze at the smiling face in pictures,
And remember your voice.
I want to feel,
Your warmth closet,
Until we touch...
No one can get in our way anymore,
We'll never be apart again,
So I want to go on a journey in a dream,
Before the day breaks........
Duke: Now that that's sorted, how about you review? Please for Icey's sake, she's not getting any reviews!! She's feeling left out dammit!!! . Not to mention that she complains!!!!*slaps a hand over his mouth* Heh, I didn't say that....*points to the wall* He did it!!!! ^^"
Tristan: O.o......heh hey look at me I just went like this O.o.... hahahahaha I think ill do it again... O.o *gets hit over the head with a mellet* @.@
Joey: *Uncovering his ears* Finally!!! Thank god for whoever knocked him out!!
Icey: Now that that's done, review ............please..........? ONEGAI!!!!!!!!!
Joey: Hai!!!!! *clears throat* Icey-chan doesn't, won't and shan't own yugioh in any way, she merely owns herself so don't take it, or she is left with nothing.

Kaiba hesitated before speaking again, "Icey, what you said last night, was it-" Icey cut him off,
"Don't Kaiba!! Don't start with that!! You don't need to say anymore about it!!" Icey shut her eyes tightly and shook her head. The pain from the night before was beginning to resurface.
(Aoi yoru no hikari, subete tsutsumikonde iru, hoshi o miageteru dake)
Kaiba grabbed her by the shoulders to stop her from shaking her head anymore. With out another word his lips were pressed against hers. Icey didn't know what to think of it. Her eyes widened, and she could feel her entire face heat up. She tried to break from his embrace, but her tiny efforts seemed hopeless. Soon, Icey began to relax, her eyes softened as she slipped her arms around his neck drawing him closer.
(Kitto omou yori mo, zutto watasho no kokoro wa, atsui omoide ippai na no ni)
The rain outside began to fall heavier, Kaiba released her shoulders, only to slip them around her waist instead.
(Hitotsu dake, negai ga todoku nara, kokoro tsutaete)
Icey was the first to pull away, emotions were flickering across her wide eyes,
"Seto, now.....wh-why now...?" She couldn't even form a straight sentence anymore, how ridiculous. Icey's lips were still tingling however, most likely from the touch of his.
Kaiba looked at her, his eyes narrowed, "Sorry ok? I-it's just that no one has ever said that to me before, I didn't know how to react...But now I know, that it's certain," He pulled her into his embrace again, his chin resting on her shoulder. Her soft hair brushed lightly against his face as he continued speaking, "I know that right now, with all that's happening, was not the best time to do what I did. But I realized this last night when you told me, when I saw your shocked expression, it hurt. And I can't hide this any more..."
(Mou daremo jama dekinai, tsuyoku dakishimete, kokoro made tsuresatte isshou ni, yo ga akeru mae ni)
Icey narrowed her eyes, she was almost in tears, as much as she wanted it to happen, she knew that Ghadious would come after him if he knew. And that was something she wouldn't be able to bear.
"When I still had my mother, she used to hold me at night and tell me that love was the most powerful thing, and I'd realize this when I grew up. I always thought she knew something more about what was in store for me... But now I finally understand what she meant..."
(Beru no naranai yoru, shashin no egao mitsu mete, anata no koe o omoidashiteru)
Kaiba pulled back, his eyes were as soft as they ever will be, filled with mixed emotions,
"Seto, you know that this is...this isn't right. You'll be putting yourself in danger, and if you do get hurt, I'll never get over it!!" Icey said, her next words were cut off when Kaiba kissed her again, their hearts beating in unison next to each other.
Once more Kaiba let her go, Icey was in tears, her face was pressed against his chest, sobbing quietly, Kaiba closed his blue eyes,
"Baka, Icey, hontou ni baka..." He whispered (Translation- 'Idiot, Icey, you really are an idiot..."
(Nukumori o, chikaku ni kanjitai, fureaeru hodo,
Mou daremo jama dekinai, nido to hanarenai, yume no naka tabi shitai dakara, yo ga ake ru mae ni......)
A sudden glow caught the two off guard, they separated and stood back from one another, the soft silver glow was shining from Icey's bracelets, and suddenly, from the Eye of Horus on each bracelets, several thin ribbons of light were emitted, one of which shot straight into Kaiba, where it now resided. The other shot out the window and wnt their separate ways,
"What just happened Seto?" Icey wondered.
"The powers of the bracelets, have been unlocked....."
"But why...and how....??"
~*Meanwhile*~
Ghadious shook his head, being back in the underground cavern on his dark throne of a black mist.
"My good will, refused, and so my hand is cast!! I must strike what they all hold dear. Pain and suffering will tear away their unity..." Ghadious looked up, his long pale face darkened, "Tetsuya!!" He called. On cue, a tall figure appeared, his black hair fringed over one eye, falling into a low ponytail at his back, his dark green eyes shone through the darkness at the Demon Lord before him, Ghadious smirked, "Go and have some fun Tetsuya, show them the true meaning of 'pain'. Tear them apart!!"
Tetsuya smirked, making him look horrifyingly handsome, "Hai...I shan't disappoint you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Icey's notes: Well, now what is Tetsuya-kun planning for our more or less heros? How did Icey unlock the Bracelets power? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN Read to find out in the next chapter. Oooh yah, the lyrics to the song are here too. They appear in order so don't worry.
No one can get in our way anymore,
Now please take this kiss from me,
All I want to do is confirm our love just a little more,
Before the day breaks.
I'm just looking up at the stars,
That wrap everything,
In the blue light of night.
I'm sure my heart,
Is a lot more full of passion,
Then I think.
If only one wish,
Comes true,
Show him my feelings.
No one can get in our way anymore,
Now hold me as tightly as you can,
Take me away with you into your heart,
Before the day breaks.
On nights when the phone doesn't ring,
I gaze at the smiling face in pictures,
And remember your voice.
I want to feel,
Your warmth closet,
Until we touch...
No one can get in our way anymore,
We'll never be apart again,
So I want to go on a journey in a dream,
Before the day breaks........
