DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! I do own Ayako because I made her up and Ichigo is my friend's character.

Seto may be a little OOC in this chapter, or you can just pretend that he had amnesia for, like, 4 hours and didn't know his real personality....LOL

Chapter 6 - Ichigo's...err...Plan

I was just about to get some well deserved rest after an exciting day of high school, when I got a call from Ichigo.
"Hello...?"
"Ayako? It's Ichi!"
"Why are you calling this late?"
"It's only 11!"
"Only...?"
"Yeah. Anyway, I just HAD to call you because I thought of a killer plan to get you and Seto together! I just love playing matchmaker, don't you? I mean, this could be a future career for me! Besides managing Kaiba Corp..."
"CAN YOU JUST GET ON WITH IT???"
"Oh yeah, sorry! Ok, so the plan is that on Friday night, I'm going to go out to a concert. Since Seto HATES to babysit Mokuba, I will 'suggest' that you do it and then you guys can see each other. I don't see how it's going to fail!"
"That's nice, Ichigo. Can I please go to bed now?"
"Yup! See you at school tomorrow! Oh, and by the way! Don't forget to study for that big science test!"
"Yeah I 'll remember....Bye" I hung up the phone and settled down for a good night's sleep when I was jolted awake.
"THE SCIENCE TEST!!!!! I GOTTA STUDY!!!!"

On Tuesday, I was a wreck. I had pulled a mega all-nighter and was so wiped out. I even fell asleep in Mr. Ancell's class. Let's just say it had caused entertainment for quite a few kids in that class. I was also quite mortified at the thought of falling asleep in front of Seto, but, being, well, Seto, he didn't even pay any attention to me. I wasn't worried though. I knew that Ichigo's plan wouldn't fail. At least, I hoped. The good news was that Yugi seemed to be falling into Ichi's clutches, which meant the plan was working. Well, Yugi at least hadn't been blabbing on about Tea all the time.
Despite all the match making going on, high school had gotten better. Or at least more civilized. Yugi introduced me to his friends, Joey and Tristan, and they were fun to hang around. Dim-witted, but fun nonetheless. However, it seemed that everything I did, Kaiba hated. He absolutely, completely, positively detested Joey. I guess it had something to do with him being stupid, poor, a bad duelist, or all three. I didn't know and I didn't want to get involved.
Even though Seto wouldn't give me the time of day, Joey certainly would. The guy was like in love with me! He had asked me out every day since the day he met me. Hasn't missed a day yet. (Kinda like Kuwabaka!) Joey was nice and all, but Seto was just so hot! Joey was loveable, like a puppy. The complete opposite of Kaiba. How could high school be so simple and so hard at the same time?
Anyway, back to the story. It was finally Friday. The big day. It was now or never. I was in my room, trying to figure out what to wear. Trying to look like I hadn't planned on seeing him. Just as I had picked out the perfect outfit, Yugi walked in...
"Christ Aya! What happened in here? It looks like a tornado hit your room!"
"Sorry Yugi! See...I'm going to this...err...party! Yeah! That's it! I'm going to a party with Ichigo and had to find the perfect thing to wear! Yeah! Ok, gotta go, bye!" I hurried off to the Kaiba Mansion so Yugi couldn't ask me any questions. Yugi Kaiba = Trouble. And I wanted as little of that as possible. Which was probably a lot.
As I trudged up the steps of the huge mansion's driveway, I wondered how I got into this mess. Soon my question was answered. Ichigo ran down the driveway to meet me.
"You got here just in time! The concert starts in a half hour. My cell is on the fridge, so call me if anything ahem happens. If you know what I mean." She smiled slyly.
"Ok got it. Mokuba's a cool kid, so I don't think that anything will go wrong. By the way, you look great! What concert IS this?"
"Jesse McCartney. Listen I've got to get going. Have fun. But not too much fun."
"Don't worry, Ichigo. I'll be fine....I hope." I muttered under my breath.
I walked into the impossibly huge entry-way and wandered into the family room to find Mokuba. He wasn't there, but Seto was.
"What are you still doing here? Maids get off at 5:00."
"I'm not a maid. I'm Ichigo's friend, Ayako, and I'm here to baby- sit Mokuba while she is at the Jesse McCartney concert."
"Oh. Right...I remember her mentioning that. Well, if you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of my way. And my room is off limits!"
"Touchy much." I said, not so he could hear, of course. "Well, can you at least tell me where Mokuba is? It IS my job to watch him tonight, and I can't do that if I don't know where he is, can I?
"He's in his room. Good-bye."
I walked up the ridiculously large staircase and into, what I thought was Mokuba's room. Wrong. It was Seto's office. But, being as curious and as stupid as I am, I decided to look around. I did like the guy after all. The 'office' wasn't very impressive, though. All it was, was a white room with a desk, a computer, a lamp, a chair, and a ton of papers. I was just about to put my hand on the doorknob to leave when the door suddenly opened. My heart jumped into my throat.
"What the hell are you doing in my office? I thought you were supposed to be looking after Mokuba! Get out!"
"I was...but...you see...you didn't give me very good directions. How am I supposed to find his room when this mansion has 6 freaking floors?"
"You shouldn't of been in here in the first place." He took a step towards me. Then I took a step back. Bad idea. There was the wall. I looked around frantically. Seto had death in his eyes.
"Well, if you don't mind, Kaiba, I'll just be going to find Mokuba! Umm...see you around, sometime!"
"I don't think so. You're not going anywhere." Seto took another step towards me, but I couldn't go anywhere. I was cornered.
"You know what, I think that I need to use your phone, because, umm...Ichigo said to call her when I got here and---" I couldn't finish, because Seto had put his lips against mine. All I could do was stand there, because I was stunned. I guess Ichigo had a good plan after all. Then, with much disappointment from me, he pulled away.
"Finally you shut up." He said, and walked away.
My hands were shaking, but I was so excited and giddy that I was practically walking on air going to Mokuba's room. After about three tries I finally found it, following a lollipop and candy trail. (Don't Ask!) I knocked on the door and Mokuba answered.
"Hi Ayako-chan! Come in and play!" He cried. How could this little kid be related to Seto Kaiba? He was so cute and nice...well, Seto WAS cute, just not nice. Anyway, the night was spent playing games and such with the littler Kaiba brother. But he wasn't the Kaiba I was thinking about. And it wasn't Ichigo. Soon, it was almost time for her to get back.
"Oh, Ayako! Seto-chan told me to tell you to go to his office at 10:30...so you should leave right now."
"I don't want to leave you alone, Mokuba!"
"Don't worry! I'll be fine"
"Ok...Bye Mokuba! See you later!" I called out while leaving the room. What did Seto want with me in his office? This can't be good...I thought, walking to the room. I reached it and opened the door. No one was there. I must be early. I'll just sit on the desk chair until he gets here. Suddenly the door opened. Standing in the doorway was Seto.
"What are you doing here again?" He asked, but his tone was softer this time.
"Well, Mokuba said you said for me to meet you here..."
"Oh he was right. You know Ayako," he said, closing the door. "I like you. There's something different about you." Oh no, I thought. What the heck is he trying to do? He walked over to me and I stood up.
"I like you too." He leaned over. Yes, I thought. He's going to kiss me again!
""You'd better get going. It's getting dark out." He whispered in my ear. The little voice in my head was screaming, KISS ME! I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW LATE IT IS! KISS! ME! "Yeah you're right. It's getting late. Ichigo will be back soon." I replied softly. Seto straightened up.
"Do you need a ride?" He asked. I protested, not sure if I was ready to accept this random act of kindness from the King of the Icicles, but he insisted. Seto walked over to the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? This is Seto Kaiba. I need a car. I don't care if there are none left. If you want to keep your job, then I suggest you get a car out in the driveway in ten minutes. What's that you said? You found a car? Thank you." He hung up the phone and turned to me.
"Let's go." He walked over to the door and held it open for me. Wow this is a record for you, Seto! Two random acts of kindness in one day! I thought.
"Thanks Seto!" I said. We walked down the large staircase, out the equally as large front door to the limo Seto had called for me. I opened the door.
"Ayako," he said. I turned around, and in one quick motion brought his lips to mine. Seto wrapped his arms around my neck and before I forgot, I actually kissed back. The kiss was electrifying, but as quickly as it started, it stopped.
"See you around," he said softly, and walked away, without so much as a second glance.

That is my longest chapter! I'm so proud!!! tear
