Author's Notes: On with the fic!! Oh yeah, and I'm chilling out a lot more. So, as some of you may be confused, just check out the reviews I've explained what's going on properly. Or if not, Malik died in real life TOO and the PAST. She was pregnant in the past but didn't know!! She was also pregnant in the past TOO but lost the baby. (I noticed my mistake; I said she loved the baby before it was born! Sorry! But to let you know, that's saved for another fic of mine! ^   ^) So can you sort of tell how her life is repeating itself? Anyway, some fluffiness is entering. But until then…

Chapter Five: A Social Gathering Of Some Sort

Mokuba was lying. When they had both gotten into the pool, he seemed to do just fine without even using Isis to help. He swam two times across the length of the pool.

"Mokuba, you're fine at this!" She said while sitting on the step that led up to the clear marble surface around the pool.

"Yeah, but I just needed some practice. I hate swimming."

Isis smiled a little, letting Mokuba get out of the pool, "Well, I have to go. I've got to see Greg at school about it."

She nodded and sighed bathing herself in the pool water. It was strange. She was there but it felt like a whole different world. Ever since her decision to change her life things had been different. For one, she wasn't having any nightmares. That was the best part of her life now. She was a lot calmer and as they said, 'down to earth'.

She smiled realising she was actually much happier this way. So what if the same events in the past happened now? At least she could prevent the same consequences from occurring. And it was easier for her to move on.

Isis was just about to get out of the pool when two arms wrapped around her waist and small breathing graced her shoulder.

"Nice to see you here, so eager," He chuckled, kissing her shoulder while carefully pulling the strap to her swimsuit down, however she quickly pulled away shaking her head.

"No, I'm not that eager and besides, here?" She asked staring at him in disbelief. "What happened to 'only the best from Seto Kaiba'? Is this the best?"

He shook his own head and grinned at her. She really knew how to strike a nerve, didn't she? There was something different about her and he didn't know what, but he liked it. The sudden change in her had made her playing hard to get with him. And frankly he was loosing the game.

She smiled at him getting a sudden idea in her head that she knew would piss him off big time. Isis wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him, forcing him to lean around so that he could get in front of her. However as soon as he did, she pulled away, pushing him back and right into the pool.

A laugh escaped her mouth as she watched him rise to the surface, looking extremely pissed off. His shirt was soaked through completely as were his dark blue trousers. He growled before grabbing her hand and pushing her in too. She squealed as she did, pushing back her now soaked ebony hair.

"Seto!" She scolded, hitting him but he caught her hand and pulled her closer to him.

"I don't know what's so bad about it, you pushed me if first," He stated glaring at her.

"Yeah but that still didn't give you any right to pull me in too." She answered back.

He leant into her ear, taking her hand in both of his, pressing it against his chest, and whispered to her, "You look even more beautiful when you look like this; it just makes your skin shine even more."

Isis smiled a little and whispered back into his ear so quietly, he only just heard what she said.

"I know. That's why I didn't want you to see me like this Mr. Kaiba."

It was the first morning where Isis woke up back in Seto's large bed in the Kaiba mansion. It had been ages since she'd woken up here. Everything was the same; the look, the warmth, the silence…it was perfect.

Shrouded in bliss, she was. Just wanting to stay forever with the form next to her. Then she realised, it was the first morning she'd woken up before him. He didn't plant the butterfly kisses on her arm. She smirked a little and decided after all of the times he'd done it to her, she was going to…repay him for his kindness.

She knew he could get quite annoyed when he woke up if something really annoying happened to him. So what would annoy him and still keep her in his good books? What could really get on his nerves?

Then it hit her. Maybe she didn't have to do something to annoy him. He would just wake up rather grumpily anyway. Tease him was all she could think of. A smile played on her lips when she knew a way to tease him. Tease all parts of his body but not the ones that needed the most attention. So in other words, all she was going to do to him was toy with him.

He's my toy boy she thought evilly, reaching for his hair and running her soft fingers through it.

"Nice try Isis," Seto said quietly, smirking. He opened his eyes too look down at her and she rolled her eyes to the ceiling. So it had been too good to be true.

"Nothing gets past you, honey." She said sarcastically, as they set up. She yawned and stretched her arms out before her.

Seto leant in and kissed the base of her neck. She smiled and let him continue, putting her hands over his that were now wrapped tightly around her waist.

"…Miss Ishtar, I request that you be ready at seven o'clock this evening…" He said between kisses.

"Why?" She asked, leaning against him, looking at the ceiling.

He nudged her ear with his cheek and answered, "A social gathering of some sort…"

Isis hated gatherings. It virtually meant a ball of some sort. She wasn't at all happy about the idea of going with Seto to it or actually being seen with him. Before, she had been followed and pursued by many and never felt safe, even in his presence. She liked to have solitary time to her own most of the time. It just didn't seem like a good idea to her.

"Really?" She sighed closing her eyes.

"Really." He answered tiredly, nuzzling her neck.

As his warm breathing tickled her skin, she took the time to make up her mind. Maybe some time out with him would be better than just staying indoors most of the time. After all, wasn't that how people soon couldn't stand the light of day again? But she already couldn't stand the light.

"Alright…but it had better be quick," She said turning around to face him.

He smirked a little and shook his head, "I knew you couldn't resist me."

"Oh I can, Seto, believe me…I just don't want to end up in bed with you tonight."

"But you will."

The dress was too uncomfortable for Isis. She had almost too many formal dresses in her closet to count from Seto. He had been too fond of her and still was. The dress was black, revealing her bear back and tied by straps around her neck. She had a silver necklace with a diamond shape dangling from it. There was a black long shawl that she'd put over her arms instead of her shoulders. When she looked in the mirror she looked completely different and formal. Her black hair had been put in spirals and beautiful rhinestones fell down from some spirals.

So this is how formal it's going to be, heh? She thought putting on the silver bracelet she had put in her draw. She had put all the gifts she had been given from Seto in there. The reminder of his generosity was too much for her to take. If that's what she wanted to call it, however calling Seto generous just made her laugh. He was anything but that. But the other word that described why he pampered her so much was even worse. He was showing her his love. Not that he needed to, god dammit. They were together, wasn't that enough?

The doorbell rang and she walked down the stairs, trying not to trip up in the silver heels that were owned by herself. Once or twice she asked herself why she had bothered to get them. She still didn't know the answer.

Seto was leaning against the doorframe and smiled at her when she answered. His eyes travelled up and down her body and seemed to be somewhat taken by her appearance.

"Seto? Is something wrong?" Isis asked, stepping out of her house.

He shook his head and smiled, "No, nothing's wrong. It's been a while…"

Isis threw him a questioning look.

"Since what?"

"I've seen you like this…I'd forgotten how much you really took my breath away,"

She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips before closing her house door.

"Well, judging by how many times I've taken your breath away, you should be dead by now." She said shaking her head at him.

She took his arm and walked to his grand limousine, getting inside with him. Once inside, she took a seat beside the window deciding to just gaze outside mindlessly although she was somewhat curious as to where they were going.

"Isis," Seto caught her attention making her turn to him. He lifted her hand up and slipped a ring onto her finger, "It's yours."

"For what?" Isis asked looking down at the diamond ring.

"For coming here with me…I know how much you didn't want to come here tonight."

She laughed and touched his cheek with her hand, "Now, why wouldn't I want to?"

He smiled and kissed her gently running his fingers through her spirals. After they pulled back, he took her hand and kissed it gently.
