When temptation calls you on the phone, don't argue with it, just hang up. (Rick Warren)

Lily and Kaiba walked up the stairs to her apartment.

"Well, I suppose it's a bit too late for the movie now."

"Nine o' clock is not late."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, come on in. That was fun, huh."

"Yeah."

"I'm so glad I'm not pregnant!"

"Me too."

"Oh, I have some other news, too."

"Really."

"I'm gonna have to go testify in court."

"Huh."

"Yeah, my brother is getting charged for the murder of himself and dad. Pretty ironic, huh."

"How does that work?"

"Oh yeah, he got plastic surgery. His face is all different, fingerprints, everything."

"Huh."

"I'm not sure when, though. I might have to miss school."

"Ah. Wait, so you're against him?"

"Well, he is guilty."

"True."

The two fell asleep on the couch halfway into watching the LOTR trilogy.

The next morning:

"Hey sleepyhead!" Lily yelled as she found Kaiba snoring next to her when she woke up.

He mumbled incoherent noises. ::thump:: Lily removed herself as his pillow and made her way to the bathroom. Ten minutes later she came out in a bathrobe and a towel around her wet hair to find Kaiba still sleeping on the couch. He was compensating for all those sleepless work-nights he had before they made up.

She climbed on top of him and whispered, as seductively as possible for whispering, in his ear, "I'm not wearing anything," and kissed him.

He quickly opened his eyes, "Liar."

"Disappointed?" she smirked and moved to get off of him, but couldn't, as his arms were around her, "not letting me go, hmmm?"

Instead of responding, he flipped their bodies so that he was on top and slowly kissed her neck, making his way down, pushing off the covering of the robe. Pretty soon her upper body was exposed, and she was moaning in pleasure, until her phone went off.

Lily reluctantly broke away, and Kaiba said, "You should probably get that..." and he entered the bathroom.

"Hello?"

"Is Seto there?"

"Yeah, Mokuba, right?"

"Yeah."

"You need to talk to him?"

"No, but—"

"It's okay, didn't interrupt anything," she kindly replied and opened the bathroom door to find a surprised, shirtless Kaiba, "It's your brother." She handed over the phone and blew him a kiss before leaving.

"Hello?"

"Oh hi, Seto, just wondering where you were."

"Safe and sound at Lily's apartment. Doing well this morning?"

"Yes, well, I'd better go."

"See you later, then."

Both were thinking about what would have happened if the phone hadn't stopped them when it did. Lily got dressed into a tight pair of jeans and t- shirt and thought to herself, man, I'd have to buy new clothes if I were pregnant, too, and hugged her wardrobe, I'd miss you guys, plus, the fact that I'd be fat isn't so great either...

Her thoughts were stopped by the phone. Not again.

"Hello?"

"I am looking for Lily."

"That's me."

"I'm David Fredrickson, did you receive the letter?"

Lily then became engrossed in conversation in which all her questions were answered.

The trial would start in two weeks, and so she would just get excused by the counselor so that she could attend a funeral. She didn't really like the idea of explaining the whole thing, as bizarre as it was. The date was rapidly approaching, and she had several meetings with the lawyers.

But that didn't mean she didn't have fun. In fact, she went to a New Year's party at the Hilton hotel, and it didn't matter who hosted it, because she was too drunk to have remembered. Both Kaiba and Lily were laughing hysterically and then staggering around aimlessly, under the influence of some very strong drinks. Well, you must be wondering, how in the world did the respectable, extremely knowledgeable Kaiba manage to get drunk? Well, Lily, who has alcohol-identification issues, found a very nice peachy- flavored cocktail which she found just absolutely stunning, and coerced, I mean, persuaded Kaiba to drink some. He declined at first, but finding a woman in a skirt sitting in his lap, stroking his chest, and using her female mind-controlling powers to seduce him, he gave in. Before long, they were drunk, and yet they managed to find themselves a room to spend the night, which, if you think about it, is better than an accident.

Well, anyway, the next morning, well actually afternoon, Lily found herself using Kaiba's shirt as an extra blanket, and he was, well, not wearing anything at all. (Teehee...)

There would have been a lot more yelling and talking, for that matter, if it weren't for the splitting headaches of the hangover. In fact, they didn't talk about what happened until the day before school started.

"About New Year's..." Kaiba started.

"I couldn't remember anything that happened that night, did you?"

"No, and if something did happen, or if I violated you in anyway, I apologize."

"It's okay. I'm not sure if anything did happen, but I did wake up with your pants next to me, which means, they had to come off of you first. And actually, now that I think about it more, we probably did have—"

"But we don't know."

"Yeah, but I mean, two plus two is four, we can deduce that..."

"I guess."

"Anyway, we can't help what happened."

"Yes, and uh...yeah."

Well, everyone was so excited to go back to school, I mean, who wouldn't be? It's always fun to return to lectures in class and tests, and homework, and projects, reports, especially after days of free time.

"After I attended the funeral of my father and brother, I visited my father's company to see who would assume his position."

"And there you met Mr. Lee."

"Yes, I was in his office, and he knew that I was daughter of the ex-CEO, and he threatened me. He said that if I didn't stay out of his way, I would suffer the same fate that my brother and father did. From that, I was sure that they didn't commit suicide. Before, I knew they weren't suicidal, and after that, I'm sure they didn't."

"That's all."

The defense lawyer stood up and said, "How did you get into his office?"

"Excuse me?"

"How did you get in? Did you make an appointment? I mean, he is the president, I expect you can't just walk in and talk to him, correct?"

"Yeah."

"Is it true that you lied about having an appointment?"

"Well, yes."

"Did you get expelled for habitually lying at school, forcing you to move to Japan?"

"No, I—"

"This document from your middle school says why you were expelled, would you like me to read it?"

"Fine, so I used to lie, what does it matter?"

"How do we know that you're not lying now?"

"I'm not."

"Yes, but we cannot trust your word."

"Well, for those things, I had a motive to lie, what motive do I have to lie now?"

"You are angry that you're not the one taking over the company."

"What? That's ridiculous."

"Is it not true that your boyfriend is Mr. Kaiba, CEO of KaibaCorp?"

"Yes, so?"

"It obviously reflects that you seek things in powerful positions, and you obviously were angry that you weren't chosen—"

"First of all, I have SCHOOL to deal with. Second of all, I was interested in Kaiba way before I even found out that he owned his company. Third of all, my love life is NONE of your BUSINESS!"

"Is it correct that if my client, Nicholas, is out of the picture, that you would get the company?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Are you lying again?"

"OBJECTION!"

"Withdrawn. That's all, your honor," he said and went back to his seat.

Okay, let's just skip to the closing arguments, shall we?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the prosecution has no case. Even the doctors say that it was suicide!! They have brought the victim's sister as testimony, but there is no evidence, I repeat, there is no evidence! He just happened to be the one who inherited the company, and for that he is accused of murder? The prosecution has brought the sister to conjure up a story because they have no proof that Nicholas killed two of her male family members. He had no reason to put them out of the picture; you heard from him that he was well off and just wanted to settle down with a family, not to take over the huge responsibility of a company. He was shocked to find out that he was to take over, and even thought about rescinding the offer! But out of respect for the two deceased family members, he accepted. So tell me ladies and gentlemen, do you see any reason whatsoever why my client would have murdered? No. Do you see any proof that he did it? No. There are all these claims, but there is no evidence! It is up to you, to make sure that this innocent man does not spend a lifetime in jail, for something he didn't even do! Thank you.

The defense says that there is no evidence. Lily is our evidence. She has no motive to lie; if he wasn't guilty, why would she say he was? She may have had a questionable past, but because of her loss, she wants justice to be done, not any random person to blame for the crime. Through her testimony, we know that they didn't commit suicide. She was their family; she would know them the best out of all of us, and if she says that they weren't suicidal, then they weren't! She said herself that he threatened her; if he wasn't guilty, why would he have done so? He would have been caring and sympathetic on their first meeting after the funeral. The only thing that can explain his actions is that he committed the murder. That's all.

Three hours later...

"Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a verdict?"

"We have your honor."

"What say you?"

"We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty."

"The defendant is free to go."

Lily sat in her chair, soaking in the fact that her brother was going off scot-free.
