Cat blinked as she looked at the owner of the blue eyes. An embarrassed flush filled her cheeks as she took in his arms around her waist.
Seto, who had out of instinct caught her, let her go quickly, but not before making she could stand on her own.
"Thank you." Cat said softly. Seto looked at her, not giving an answer.
"You must be the new duelist." Cat guessed. "I'm Cathryn, but everyone calls me Cat."
"I'm Seto." He said as he moved past her. Cat looked at him a minute longer as she edged toward the door.
"Well, I am going to see the others. Guess I'll see you later." She said as she left the room. Seto turned to look at the doorway she had just left through. Something, something about that girl. Seto shrugged, like it even mattered. He would stay here, learn where the crystal was, and then get it. Once his job was done, he could return home to his country. After Seto had gotten settled into his room he made his way to the living room. He entered to see the tri colored hair boy, sitting next to a blond dumb looking guy on the couch. In a chair was a blond haired woman and sitting in the love seat was the brown haired girl that was in his room. Yugi looked up as Seto looked at everyone in the room.
"Hi, is your room fine?" Yugi asked. Seto gave a stiff nod as Yugi stood up.
"Guys, this is Seto Kaiba." Yugi said in introduction. Everyone gave a polite nod as Yugi continued.
"Kaiba, this is Mai, and Joey." Yugi said pointing to the two blonds. "And this is my sister, Cat."
"We've met." Seto said glancing at her. Yugi felt hope for a moment, maybe Kaiba did know what was going on. "She was in my room."
Yugi sighed, so maybe he didn't know. The rest of the afternoon went by fairly well. Seto didn't say much, as everyone talked around him. Try as hard as he could, Seto's eyes kept moving over to study Cat's profile. Cat felt his gaze as she turned her golden eyes to his. Seto felt a rush of heat in his cheeks, embarrassed at being caught staring, as he turned his face away. Cat looked at him curiously for a moment before turning her attention back to the conversation. Later that night, everyone went to their rooms. Mia and Cat had a room together, while Joey and Yugi shared a room. Seto was the only one with his own room. After the girls were settled into their room, Mai turned to Cat.
"So, what do you think of the new guy." She asked, hoping that Cat would show some sign of recognition.
Cat thought about how she had caught Seto looking at her as a blush filled her cheeks. "Honestly?" she asked. Mai nodded.
"Well, I think he is sorta cute." She said quietly.
"Only sorta?" Mai pressed. She knew that Cat had always thought of Seto as hot.
"Alright, he is really cute." She said. "But I could never be interested in a guy like that."
Mai looked amused. "oh?" she said. "And why is that?"
Cat looked out the window. "He seems so prideful, and I don't know, he just doesn't seem like the kind of guy would ever be interested in a girl."
"You think he's gay?" Mai asked, trying to contain her laughter. Cat blushed deep red.
"NO!" she said hurriedly. "I just think that he seems kinda workaholicish." She said. Mai smiled to herself. Cat had no idea how right she was. Kaiba was a workaholic, that is until he met Cat. She shook her head. It was weird to her that Cat and Kaiba didn't know each other, but maybe Seto had planned that in the game. She looked over at Cat again. Well, she would see that no matter what she said, she and Kaiba were made for each other.
