Off Guard
It was midnight by the time Seto approached the kitchen again, he was definitely high off the chocolate and looking for someone to bother. Mokuba was already sleep, but he knew that someone might still be up...
Suu...
He wanted to see what made her tick, did she have any blood in that body of hers. Could she feel anything? Could she feel what it was like to be loved? Was she like him so long ago?
And he thought that she would look great in pink...
Grinning widely he strode into the kitchen, looking around everything was spotless. She was good at being a girl. There on the table sat three cakes one coconut the other vanilla fudge and
Ah, chocolate... He nearly embraced the confection in front of him, but saw that at the table, fast asleep was Suu Kushimara. Head lying on her knees, huddled onto that small dinning chair; frosting tube on the floor. He crouched down and poked the bag, and there was an ooze of white frosting.
Looks tasty...
Giggling a little he stood and walked closer, happy he had some more to eat. But first to take care of this girl, this woman. The pretty girl that Pegasus liked very much...
How he wanted to tempt her
If only he had his old body... Then he would have his revenge on her, for all the pain that she had put him through.
He was beside her then, and bent down seeing her sleeping face peeking out from the strands of dark hair. She was so pale, dour and
Dare he say beautiful?
He was out for revenge and nothing more...
Vengeance would be sweet.
Brushing back the strands away from her face, he held his breath as she stirred. Only for a moment, her brows drew together, eyes danced beneath her closed lids.
Was she having some kind of some bad dream?!
His plan was crushed; he couldn't do anything to her now could he?
"AHAHAHAHA!"
Seto blinked a few times and he was not in the kitchen anymore
"SETH!" Seto wheeled around the weight of his white trench coat nearly toppling him over. He was standing in the sun-drenched pavilion of the Pharaoh. The sound of running water trickling into the large square pond filled with lotus plants.
Seth was at the edge picking a lotus flower and opening its petals to the sun. He stood and handed it to Seto who took it stupidly. "What is this for?"
"For being you, little Seto" Seth replied
Seto flung the flower into the water as Seth cracked up into laughter.
"I swear you are clueless as a woman!"
Seto half tackled Seth and they hit the floor,
"I HATE YOU!" he cried the crown had slipped off Seth's head, long brunette hair fanning out around him.
There was a moment where all Seto did was stare, he was caught in a memory. A memory from long ago.
"Seto" Seth whispered pulling him close
"You are going to have to open your eyes" he said lips barely brushing a tender cheek.
Kaiba blinked the white fuzz clearing from his eyes; he was on top of something warm. As his vision focused, he gasped and rolled over onto the floor, Suu lay there stunned. She barely breathed.
Tears were running down her face, yet her eyes were wide open and unblinking.
"Suu" he whispered watching her curl up into a ball.
"Please don't... Please go away Seto."
Seto didn't know what to do, he sat there for a long time as she remained motionless on the floor. And he didn't know what he was doing but he crawled over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Her head softly rested on his shoulder
"Did you see Saburo die?"
"Yes" she whispered
"And did Shuichi try to hurt you?"
"Yes"
Seto held her close
"Don't worry, he is not here to hurt you anymore."
She nodded and buried her face in his shoulder
"I-I know but it won't go away; like the marks won't go away..." she replied, then her voice grew fainter and fainter till Seto was sure that she was asleep.
The weariness of everything flowed through him and he too fell into his own dreams... This time there was no one to bother him...
