Rika was awaken by the light of the sun shining through the curtains. She looked at her clock and leapt to her feet quickly getting changed. She was late and Seto was going to kill her. She ran out nearly tripping over the chair again and ran to the kitchen. "I'm sorry Seto I didn't hear my alarm!!"

"Because I turned it off this morning before it went off"

"But why?" she stopped in her tracks

"Because I did Stray!"

Rika winced at him raising his voice, she didn't understand why he was being so nasty all of a sudden. "I'll make you breakfast"

"Don't bother" he said coldly getting up "I'm off to work I'll be back in an hour"

"Ok Seto"

Seto sat in his limo. He realized he was starting to show weakness when he turned off her alarm for her so she could sleep in. Sure he had a thing for her but he couldn't show weakness around his kitten or stray as it now was. He sighed and looked out the window passing the mall "I'll have to get her some clothes" he thought to himself "Or take her back to her home to get some". He sighed again thinking of Mokuba who was at his friends for a week, he was going to have to tell him about Rika sooner or later...

There was a loud knock on the large Oak doors. Rika hurried to open them. There stood a tall man with black hair and a dice earring.

"I'm here to see Kaiba" the dice boy demanded

"Seto's not here, he's at work and won't be back for a while. Can I give him a message?"

The dice boy grinned "No I think I'll wait" he forced his way inside the Kaiba mansion

"You'll be waiting a while he left 15 minutes ago" Rika said trying to reason with him to leave

"I can keep you company" the dice boy walked to her, he held her face gently by the chin "What you say?" he winked at her

"T-thank you, but I'll be ok on my own. Now if you would please leave" she headed back to the door

"No one turns down Duke Devlin!" he thought to himself and grabbed Rika pinning her to the wall "Actually...I think I'll stay!" he kissed her roughly.

Rika tried to scream but her sounds were muffled by Duke's lips pressed hard against hers. She wriggled in his grasp making him break the kiss.

"Look, Seto doesn't care for you and he won't care for you as long as you stay here" he looked deep into her eyes "I on the other hand will if you let me..."

Rika thought back to Seto yelling at her this morning "No! It's not true! He may have yelled at me this morning and called me a stray, but he tried to save me last night!!"

Duke kissed her neck "But I won't call you names and I'll keep you safe" he kissed her again forcing his way into her mouth, taking in her taste. She squirmed about again. Duke broke his kiss and threw her to the floor and sat on top of her. He pinned her hands down with just one hand and slid his free one down her stomach to her trousers. She twisted one of her hands free and threw him off. She scrambled to her feet and ran out the doors "SETO!!" she screamed as she ran down the driveway and into the path of the limo as it turned into the gates. The limo screeched to a halt and Seto leaped out.

"What's the matter?" his voice shook with worry

"There's a guy in the mansion. He said he was here to see you and forced his way in...then when I asked him to leave he grabbed me..." Rika trembled with fear

Duke walked out of the mansion flustered from the excitement "Your slave whore attacked me!!"

"I think it's the other way round Devlin!" Seto slammed his fist into his face sending Duke flying back

"I'll get you arrested for assault Kaiba!!" Duke sat up holding his cheek

"And I'll get you arrested for attempted rape"

Duke's eyes widened "You wouldn't"

Seto pulled out his cell phone "Wouldn't i?" he asked smugly "Now get out of my sight!"

Duke got to his feet and left. Seto turned to Rika and looked at the coming bruise on her lip. He shook his head "Get in the limo"

Rika sat quietly. She didn't ask where they were going or why, she just sat looking at her feet still shaken.

"W-why did he do that to me?" she managed to throw the question out of her throat

"Well stray...if you haven't noticed you're kind of..." he paused to think of a word "Inviting"

"I am?" she looked at Seto

"Yes, to some you are stray"

"Seto can you please not call me that, I'm not an animal"

"I'll call you what I like" Seto snapped at his kitten

"Ok...sorry..."

The limo pulled up to Rika's house. Her eyes grew wide and she shook

"W-w-what are we doing here!!??"

"We're just here for your clothes nothing else"

"Your not dumping me here?"

"No, now go get some clothes stray"

"Will you come with?"

Seto sighed and got out of the limo.
