~~~Harsh words~~~

Seto seemed to have a big appetite as a girl, bigger then when he was a boy. And he shoveled through appetizers, the main course and finally dessert. And still hungry, he felt like eating...

Chicken friend rice and licorice...

Licking his lips, he finally sat back; this evening wasn't so terrible. Pegasus was what Suu called a perfect 'gentleman'. He was really... And that pissed Kaiba off to no goddamn end. Knowing now that Pegasus had an eye on her.

*God how old was he?! Suu was sixteen, that was just /so/ wrong.*

Seto nearly shivered, feeling his food coming up. He took a deep breath and sighed it through his nose. Then suddenly he felt odd, very odd.

"Suu" he whispered, she turned to him and leaned in, he began to blush. She smelt so good...

"I um don't feel so good." Immediately she shot up and ran with him into the luxurious bathroom. Seto happily noting that she had left Pegasus in the dust.

In the sitting room in the bathroom, she finally calmed "How funny do you feel?" she queried.

"I am having weird cravings and my stomach hurts" he said naively. Suu looked like she was going to die.

"Kami help me! Why? Why?! Do this to your humble servant?!" she whispered tilting her face to the ceiling.

Through all this still managing to still seem kind of suave.

"You may have gotten the little friend that visits all us mature young women..." Seto paled and ran into the stall. There was a great rustling of fabric and then a sigh of relief.

"Thank Kami"

Suu breathed deeply in relief and Seto came out of the stall, looking very happy.

"I would chalk it up to you having a big appetite and poor digestion" she said calmly. Seto nodded like a lunatic and went to wash his hands.

"You almost killed me you know that" Seto said

"You nearly killed me as well" was Suu's reply.

"Where is this going, this whole thing?" he began, watching the soap bubbles pop in the sink.

"I have to help you wake up your Hikari" she whispered quietly, more the air then to Seto.

"You are a wayward soul, Seto Kaiba do not fight the tide of Destiny that sways you now." She added a moment later, looking at him in the mirror.

Seto felt anger rising in him, since he had become a girl he had been endlessly bullied by this woman. As a man he would not even condone a loud tone of voice in his presence. What made Suu so different?!

Was he getting soft?!

"I really don't like you Suu" he said coolly

Suu nodded "I know that. No one does anyway, so you're not any different."

Her laconic reply stunned him, realizing he had left the faucet running he turned it off and dried his hands. Suu did not move, she didn't even blink.

And then Seto slipped, again arms caught him his face smushed into a soft generous chest.

When he righted himself she was smiling normally, the cool look returned to her face.

"Come now Seto we have to finish our meal, your brother is probably wondering if you and I fell in."

Her humor was so dry that he merely giggled a bit, feeling a little bad for what he had told her.

Seto opened his mouth and turned to say something, but stopped as a single tear ran down her cheek. She softly wiped it away; she gave a tiny sniffle and perked the moment they came within a few feet of the table.

He was stunned, trying to stop from feeling so bad

"Think we fell in eh?" she ruffled Mokuba's hair and sat down. Seto heard Pegasus chuckle from somewhere off to his right. He couldn't look at her; he was too mortified to do so.

*Why am I like this? Do I like to see people suffer?*

*Sometimes I wish that I could be a kind person, like my brother* Seto looked sadly at the little figure absolutely beaming with happiness basking in the glow of Suu's warm gaze.

All the things he had said about her and still she could smile at him... Kaiba was so overwhelmed then he nearly passed out into his sundae. Taking another calming breath, he looked up.

"I have to go now" Suu said calmly, Pegasus was standing placing the bill with the wad of cash on the table.

"I will chauffer her home, Ms. Kaiba it was very nice to see that you are adjusting well."

Kaiba opened his mouth to yell back an answer and closed it.

"Then good evening" Seto ducked his head and left with Mokuba trying not to upturn some tables and cursing in the process....

AN: Does Kaiba's 'Hikari' have a name? If so please mention it! Thank you to EVERYONE who reviewed!
