Moving
Pegasus choked back laughter as Suu put the phone back down, his face was red. His hand over his mouth to suppress the wicked cackle that was threatening to fill her living room.
Glaring daggers she walked over to him and poked him on the shoulder. He immediately popped like a red balloon into laughter.
"Oh you eavesdropper! DAMN NOSY!" she cried unhappily.
"He is very loud after all" Pegasus replied a moment later a mischievous glint in his amber eye.
The smirk had returned and Suu saw that
"Do not look at me like that! I don't intend on doing anything with him um her, for God sakes! Kaiba is a girl!" she said passionately.
"But he thinks like a man" was his simple answer.
Suu folded her arms and stood there. Pegasus continued to look into her eyes, waiting for her to answer his question. She was in denial, even without the Eye he knew that something was bound to happen between those two.
"Damn it! You are insufferable! Kaiba does not like me! And I do /not/ like him! I told you that I---"
She trailed off because Pegasus pressed a finger to her lips. He leaned very close to her
"Why do you dislike me so? Hhmmm? Is it because I remind you of Shuichi? Was he very much like me?"
Suu's lips moved but no words came out, so she did have some weakness. And Pegasus just found it, she was after all merely sixteen years old...
"Why did you accept to come here? Did you think you could trust me?" he whispered again into her ear.
She was very still now, her delicate breath barely rose and fell. His hand moved over her cheek, caressing her chin.
"I came here because you promised me work" she answered looking honestly into his eyes.
"And because you were the only man I could still trust, even though I didn't really know you." She added a moment later....
"Did you love Shuichi?" he asked, she sighed
"I can't tell you. Besides everything that he was... Was an illusion." She closed her eyes.
Pegasus smiled and then patted her on the head "Now I'm satisfied, go live with Kaiba boy." He said waving his hand slightly at her.
Suu turned to go and stopped "I don't dislike you, and yes you remind me of Shuichi. But not in a bad way. The way that I liked him so much for..."
She struggled to not cry, the memories seemed to flood back to her. Shoulders shook beneath thick black fabric. Tears wanted to fall, she took a deep breath.
"Do I remind you of Cecilia?"
Pegasus was a little surprised at the question but he was an honest man and answered
"Yes, very much. But that is not why I am fond of you."
Suu felt a smile tugging at her lips "Why then?"
"That is for me to know and you to find out"
Suu looked up a little stunned, he was smiling seductively again. She began to turn red and then bowed deeply
"Thank you Mr. Pegasus"
"Your welcome Miss. Kushimara"
Suu's walked over and he showed her a long nail that was quarter broken. She settled the box down and pulled out the nail file from her pocket. Then took his hand and began to shape his nail to look like the others.
Kaiba pulled his hand away the moment she was done and stared at his hands. Long and delicate fingers, nails not polished. But they had long claw like nails, growing into a semi curl. He looked around the bedroom, boxes were scattered everywhere and she looked dazed.
"Is something wrong?" he asked peering into her face. He was still dressed in his nightgown, since it was six or so in the morning.
Suu looked at him for a long moment "Pegasus's likes me"
Kaiba began to sulk "So?!"
"I didn't think anyone could like me again." She replied calmly
But he had already folded his arms, his lower lip jutting out.
"I don't want to hear about that idiot! And besides you are very nice who wouldn't like you?"
Suu smiled "Yes, thank you. Now go back to bed you are being a terrible spoiled princess."
"NO!" he whined, for some reason now that she was here. He wanted to do things; he wanted to take care of the problem that was being a girl.
"I want to go somewhere" he bellyached again "and I want to buy different bras, the new ones hurt me."
Suu nodded as she placed photos onto the small shelf near the bay window. He walked over and saw the biggest one. Two people who looked almost exactly the same, except one had hair that was long and dark.
He realized that it was Suu, in a beautiful red dress. Her brother Saburo in a tuxedo, between the two of them a tall gentleman, dressed in a deep green suit. A very handsome man, with blue eyes and brown hair.
Shuichi had a very kind smile.
"Suu?" he turned to her
"Yes?"
"I'm going to bed" he said softly and he left her room. Feeling deeply sorry for what he had done to her up until now.
