Thoughts

Suu walked into the mansion of the former Creator of Duel Monsters, toeing off her heels she walked into the dinning room. And stopped at the large painting of Cecilia Pegasus,

"He is trying to bring you back, are you going to let him succeed?" she whispered to the painting.

"You do not like that?" came the silky voice, Suu turned around and smiled.

"I was just thinking nothing more" she replied easily dodging the answer and wiggling her toes into the thick carpet with a content sigh.

Pegasus smiled politely and walked up to her "You are to tell me, that you know what I am planning?"

She shook her head "I know nothing"

Pegasus's smile merely grew a little wider "Come now darling, you know me well enough. You have been living here for several months now, surely you can guess?"

"No I cannot" Suu replied as Pegasus came to stand beside her. Staring at the painting in a pleasantly nostalgic manner.

"May I ask how you were able to survive without the Millennium Eye?" she inquired a moment later.

Pegasus tipped his head to one side "That is my little secret."

Suu nodded "Well then, what can I do for you today?" she brightened unexpectedly

"Paint him" Pegasus said with a flourish of his elegant hand, Suu looked at him blankly.

"You know of whom I speak"

Suu continued to look at him blankly and then shook her head.

"No, Seto Kaiba shall never grace my canvas."

"Is that how you really feel?" Pegasus moved closer to her, his single eye trained on her. She was drowning in the strange honey amber color of his eye.

"Y-yes" the word was hesitant and that made Suu boil. No man would ever charm her again, never ever. She had sworn off of all relationships since...

She stepped past him,

"What are you going to do with me?" she asked solemnly,

"He is going to marry you, Miss Kushimara" a voice came pleasantly. Suu turned to see that Kimo had come from another door and was placing a stack of papers on the mahogany table.

Suu froze and turned to Pegasus who continued to stare at the large painting, looking faintly amused.

"What is that supposed to mean?" she cried a red blush creeping over her gray cheeks.

Kimo plopped the papers onto the table and straightened

"Well maybe not soon though, you do need to go to finishing school. And then--" Kimo added ticking of the things on his fingers.

"Don't answer me!" Suu exclaimed glaring at Pegasus who finally turned around to face her.

"He's joking, can't you take a joke Suu?" Pegasus looked very smug now, his lips curling into a wicked smile.

Suu took a few steps back, cheeks blazing "I-If you would excuse me" and she half ran out of the room.

Kimo burst into laughter, and Pegasus grinned to his fellow employee

"What are you filling her head with Kimo?" Pegasus asked going over and sitting down. Kimo merrily handed him a small stack of papers.

"Things about you Sir"

Pegasus sighed "Playing matchmaker was never in your job description."

Kimo cleared his throat "Well then I think it is all the better for you Sir...."

Seto neither slept nor ate for the rest of the evening; he was to full of energy that he continued to pace around the house. And then went to go try on all the dresses that he had bought recently.

Twirling around in a pink dress, he had some music up to the highest it went and was bustin some serious moves when his brother came in and looked pale.

Mokuba walked in and plopped on the bed, seeing the rod that rested in the box. He stared a few moments and picked it up.

"Where did you get this nii-san?" he asked his eyes round as saucers. Kaiba walked over and sat down. Mokuba wrinkled his nose, his brother had upgraded to perfume now. Disgusting...

"It was a gift from Pegasus" Kaiba answered happily, Mokuba looked up at those blue eyes, warm with light. He missed the old Seto, who was just getting farther and farther away.

Mokuba suddenly hugged his sister er brother and whispered

"Seto please come back"

Seto was stunned "What do you mean I'm right here"

Mokuba shook his head "Please come back, someday because I'm going to wait. Even if it takes forever."

Seto placed a hand on his head "I'm sorry, but she is asking me to do the impossible."

"What is that?" Mokuba asked

"To love someone, and that I cannot do." Seto replied bitterly. Tears welled into his little brother's eyes and streamed down his cheeks. Seto wiped his eyes and smiled

"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine isn't it?" Seto said and then Mokuba cried onto his chest, cried until he fell asleep.

I'm turning into Mother

Seto closed his eyes, deep in his heart he knew before the both of them had died, that Father had never really loved Mother. Seto knew that his father had been cheating on his mother months before they lost their lives.

Heartless and unloved, I seem to embody both of my parents

Kaiba looked down at his brother's sleeping face, and grinned bitterly. But Mokuba was not like that, Mokuba was someone that loved everyone. He loved Life as much as Seto loved Duel Monsters. And no matter what had happened or what Seto had done to him, he was still here.

"Thank you for loving me" Seto whispered and kissed his brother's head. Mokuba seemed to smile in his sleep; softly Seto placed him on the bed and went to go make a phone call....

The phone was ringing, on the private number? Pegasus blinked a few times as he crossed the suite and called to Suu.

She came running in and grabbed the phone, her hair limp like wilted cabbage leaves wet from her shower.

Not that he was here all that time, he happened to have to talk to her about a painting for one of his friends.

"Hello?" the calm voice came, Seto cringed he took a deep breath and answered

"Hi, it's me"

He guessed that Suu was smiling now "How are you?"

"Fine, I-I'm sorry I called, I thought that you wouldn't be home and--"

"Your stuttering Seto, please calm down and say what you want to say." She replied

He took another deep breath and went very red

"I want to know, if you would like to move in with me."

There was a burst of laughter somewhere in the background, Seto blinked a few times.

"No it is not me laughing" Suu replied.

Did she just read my mind?

There was another second or so silence "Before I answer, why are you asking me?"

"Because...." He paused, he hated feeling weak "I need you to help me, keep being a girl. To keep me being sane. And to teach me to love someone, I have to fall in love with someone you said. And I don't think I can do it by myself."

Those where the hardest words Kaiba had ever said in his life, (next to apologizing)

"Fine then I'll come live with you."

Seto didn't believe what he was hearing "You will!" he cried incredulously.

"Yes, when can I bring my things over?" she asked something he couldn't trace in her voice.

"Tomorrow, since it is uh, really late" he was going red again. His whole face was bright as a cherry his ears burned with heat.

"Then I shall see you tomorrow, have a good evening"

"Yeah, you too bye" and Seto put the phone down. For about a solid minute he stared at the phone on it's cradle and wondered what the hell did he just do...
