A Possible Solution

"I demand a duel!" Joey and followed Suu Kushimara almost the whole way back to Kaiba Corporation, dragging his sister and soon most of his friends with him.

"No"

"Why not, he's a woman for crying out loud! If I can't beat him when he is a woman, then I'm the greatest loser in all of Duel Monster history. Then I'll really be a mutt!"

Suu began to laugh, "You don't know on how many levels that is SO wrong to say Mr. Wheeler. What is it? Would you purposely lose so that you could become Seto Kaiba's slave? Is that how much you are in love with him?!"

She ducked the punch that went sailing for her face and bolted for the doors of Kaiba Corp, sadly Joey was faster.

"You say that to my face!" Joey was red like a Chilie pepper, shaking with anger, almost in near tears.

"You like, him admit it Joey." Suu said again, teasing Joey was fun. More fun then Seto.

"YOU BIT-"

A small figure stepped in front of them "Now the two of you" Yuugi began. Suu smiled down at the purple-eyed boy. Such a pure soul

"I'm sorry Joseph. I was just having some good old fun, besides Seto hates your guts that is why he fainted." she bowed with Seto's body over her shoulder. There was a mutter of a curse under Joey's breath and he bowed too.

"Now all of you leave me alone, I have to get Seto to a bedroom. He will be very cranky if he wakes up here and now."

Twenty minutes later, Suu walked into one of the offices and opened another door. A black bed sat atop a dais with stairs. Seto's room for when he slept at the office. A poor spoiled little rich boy, er girl.

Suu rested him on the bed and turned going to make some tea...

Seto's eyes opened, not to anything familiar but to a large throne room that was empty except for. He moaned

"Not YOU"

The High Priest grinned happily uncrossing his legs from his seat on the smaller throne and standing.

"I am going to have to work on that temper of yours," he said kindly with a wide grin. Walking over to Seto and standing in front of him. There was no answer, just a glare that could have turned him into a pile of salt.

"Really, is this all that you wear?" The High Priest picked up the end of the trench coat and stared. Seto began to feel nervous; there was something eerie about this man.

"Do you have a name?" Seto asked

"Yes, I do little Seto"

Kaiba nearly whacked the priest in the head for calling him that.

"I am not LITTLE!" Seto cried.

"But neither am I annoying"

Seto was on the verge of punching him when fingertips touched his cheek

"My name is Seth, you see our names are similar no?"

Kaiba's lids were suddenly heavy; he seemed to be drifting in a cloud of memory deep within him. As if his soul were speaking into his ear

"W-what are you?"

Seth sighed, "I am..." he paused as voices came. Seth pulled Kaiba behind the throne. His breathe ticking Seto's sensitive ear

"Do not make a sound, if you do... We both shall die." Seto let a shiver pass through him, because he was touching Seth. They were squished together behind the throne, Seth held him close, fingers like a vice around his thin shoulder.

Kaiba waited trying not even to take a loud breath, and finally the iron grip relaxed. Immediately Seto pushed away putting some distance between the Egyptian and himself. Seth merely sat on the floor legs splayed and sighed.

"Thank Ra" he swore, Seto snorted and decided to sit as well. He wanted answers,

"So tell me what are you?" he began, folding his legs beneath him. Seth just stared, his eyes were faraway

"Little has changed about me, 'I' am still the same as 'I' always was. You are after all me in a different life, a different time. We are the same and yet not, I am your 'Hikari' or heart. The entity that resides/ or controls a Millennium Item, and you Seto were destined to wield the power of the Millennium Rod... But I did not awaken in you till recently, soon after you began Battle City. By then it was too late... To many things had happened, and you grew too differently."

Seto shook his head is disbelief "I don't believe in reincarnation."

"It is not that, it is well... That I cannot explain, you as the holder of an Item must discover that, and I can only help you."

"What if I don't want this!" Seto cried

Seth shrugged "It is Destiny, when was she ever kind... Though she may a soft spot for you since you have went almost your whole teenage existence without me to guide you. As for the Pharaoh well, he has been helping Yuugi for a long time."

Kaiba snorted "That little..." but he stopped because Seth was right there was something odd about Yugi, he did become a different person.... And now he didn't know whom he hated was it the little shrimp or the other version...

He shut his eyes "What about Suu and Pegasus?" he asked flatly trying for his fist not to clench.

"Jealous?" Seth teased, Seto looked up and glowered. Seth chuckled moving close to him

"Do you think every woman is going to fall at your feet? I think she does have some commitment issues, but I suspect she might have a budding relationship with Max."

Kaiba blinked a few times in shock. Seth took the chance and patted his head with a grin.

"Don't pat me!" Seto pulled his hand away, he was sulking

Seth let his wrist be squeezed for sometime watching Seto pout,

"It is only my opinion" Seth began softly.

"Do you think she likes him?" Kaiba said quietly after a long moment.

Seth's eyes began to gleam with mischief "I don't know... He's handsome, rich, in his prime. I heard he was an artist before his wife died and didn't he help her after Shuichi died?"

He ticked these off with his fingers watching the rage building up in Seto's eyes.

"But he's so OLD! And a JERK to boot!" he whined looking at Seth with a pained look in his eyes.

"Why? You want her for yourself? Are you in love?" Seth asked, Seto went bright red and looked down.

"I just don't want to see her heart broken, Mokuba likes her a lot you know. Besides I could have any woman I want!"

The sulking episode was suddenly gone and Kaiba was filled with confidence. He began to glare at Seth again.

"I intensely dislike you"

Seth nodded with a fiendish smile "But I still like you, my little Seto."

He pinched Kaiba's cheeks, who did nothing but sit and take it. If Seth was going to drag him here every night he might have to get used to this.

"Why do you bring the worst out in me?" Seto asked again, as his cheeks were beginning to hurt.

"Why are you so cute?" Seth countered

"SHUT UP!" he screamed pulling Seth's hands away. The High Priest rolled with laughter.

Seto was on the verge of attacking the Priest.

"I-if you were real, I would get a restraining order for your ASS!" Kaiba screamed now red faced

How dare he call me cute AGAIN?!

He folded his arms stood, and walked from behind the throne. Seth popped up from behind, tears of laughter in his eyes.

"You have no humor" Seth sighed softly "but be careful from now on, the guards don't like having people here at night, Pharaoh's orders. Goodbye for now, little Seto." The voice whispered and he was fading...

Seto's eyes slowly opened watching the girl in black walking over... Suu placed a long narrow box in his lap; she did not talk nor smile. He then realized how very sad she was. Her eyes were filled with a sorrow that he had never seen before. He turned to see that Mokuba was asleep beside him, smiling and covered by a warm blanket.

Suu followed his gaze for a moment and undid the red ribbon from the box

"Please open it" she whispered, Seto's hands reached out and uncovered the contents of the box. Which was a long golden rod, his hands itched to touch it. Caress the cold metal, press it to his lips.

He reached in and took it at once there was a feeling that something inside him was filling up. Almost like a pitcher that had never been full the whole way,

"Is this?"

"Yes" she replied quickly and stood, Kaiba looked down. Still a girl, he followed Suu's moments throughout the room.

"You are not going to turn back into a girl till you open up your Heart. You have to love someone else as much as you love yourself. I know it is like that with your brother but someone outside your family. You must love them with all your soul, or you will remain a girl forever and the Item will turn against you."

Woe is the person that looked into her eyes then, Seto was struck speechless. He just looked down at the Rod and held it close. Feeling like if he let this go, he would have to let his life go.

"I will now leave you too sleep, I will not be available for the evening. I have somewhere to go." And before Seto could ask where, she was gone.
