Chapter 5
Seto's Struggle
Author's Note: Hey everyone. I know this is going to turn into an action/adventure any chapter. If you don't want that, TOO BAD! Anyway, onward with the story.

P.S. I'm going to make a reference in this story to another of mine. It's 'The Legend' and it's on my site. The reference is the appearance of the Dragon Flame.
Remedy softly rapped on the door of Seto's room. When there was no answer, she slowly and quietly opened the door. She observed something that she couldn't explain.
Seto was standing in the middle of his room with the lights off, and the only source of light was the moon filtering through his window. He had old, pale, healed over scars all over his back. He seemed to be rubbing a white cream on his back and when he moved his hand she could see what he was rubbing it on. It was a huge scar, at least half an inch in diameter. It ran from the base of his neck to his pants line.
Seto felt like he was being watched. The hairs on the back of his neck prickled. Some one was watching. He smeared the rest of the cream onto his scar and turned around.
"What are you doing here?" Seto growled.
"I just needed to talk to you," Remedy stated.
Seto sighed.
"If you must, sit down," he grumbled, motioning towards the bed.
He put his shirt on and sat down beside her.
"What is it?" Seto asked.
He seemed to be calmer than he was earlier.
"I know that there's something wrong with you, what is it?" Remedy asked softly.
Seto looked at her for a second. He was kind of mesmerized by her kind eyes. She was nicer than she had been earlier. She didn't have that pushy, commanding tone in her voice now. That cold, flat tone that everyone used just for him was gone now. She was talking to him like he was, a human. This took Seto by surprise, only Mokuba talked to him like that.
Seto never believed in love or any of the junk that comes with it. In fact, it was love and trust that got him in trouble in the first place. But when Remedy had come here, he felt, different. Like he could trust her. In fact, he was starting to like her.
Remedy hoped he would tell her. She was actually in love with the untouchable Seto Kaiba. What a fool she felt she was at first. But she now hoped that sooner or later, he would fall for her. Actually, she thought he already was.
"You have to promise not to tell anyone, even Mokuba doesn't know," Seto stated, looking at her.
"Sure, I promise," Remedy replied.
HE'S ACTAULLY GOING TO TELL ME, RIGHT? she thought.
"Mokuba doesn't even know this, and at first, I didn't want to believe it, but I'm completely and totally," he started.
He wasn't sure whether he should tell her or not. It wasn't like he knew her very well. She did seem to be very compassionate though. She actually seemed like she wanted to help him, even if he didn't want her help. Why should he tell her? What difference would it make? She couldn't help him now. It was too late. Nothing could fix it. Then again, besides his unusual feelings towards her, there was something different about her. He could feel magic pulsing through her.
He could feel the Dragon Flame's cold metal against his chest start to grow warm. It always did this when she got near. But it wasn't burning hot. It was actually a very soothing. It was almost telling him that she didn't mean any harm.
No, he thought. There is no way I'm going to tell this girl my problems. Why should I? I can get along fine on my own. I need her like I need a hole in my head.
Then Seto thought about it again. Ever since his parents died, all he wanted was some one besides Mokuba to understand him. Maybe, Remedy was it.
"I'm," Seto started again.
Heh, short I know, but it was SUCH a good place to stop it. grins evilly
