Kurumi: Well, let's get on with the fic!!

(The Next Night, 10:00 pm, Kaiba Corp)

On Kaiba Corp's 20th floor, things were quiet. The assistant's desk got moved into Seto's office. Kurumi sat at her desk, filling paperwork and sending out business letters to the management and workers. Seto typed on his computer, working on blueprints and other projects for new inventions. As Kurumi looked over to Seto, typing with a serious gaze on his handsome face, she giggled. Seto shifted his blue gaze to Kurumi and asked her in a serious tone,
"What's so funny? I don't remember paying you to laugh."
Kurumi's face brighten, smiling happily.
"I was thinking back to when we first met. When we were children at the blue plate party, remember?"
Seto's eyes drifted back to his computer as he began typing again. He shook his head.
"No, actually I don't."
Kurumi dropped her pen, sitting back in her chair.
"Well, let's take a break and I'll remind you."
Seto didn't look in her direction. He continued typing and replied,
"I'm listening."
Kurumi smiled.
"Ok, how did it go again?"

(flashback)

It was a warn fall night, as celebrities, typhoons, rich and well-know people gathered from all around the world at the Yoshimoto country estate. The young ten years old Kurumi admired the beautiful rich people as they mingled and danced. Everyone was so graceful and polite. All these sights amazed her, Beautiful men, women and child dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry. Everyone amazed her. But by far, they was one sight she couldn't take her eyes off of. A young boy sat a table alone, looking very uneasy. He was dressed in a blue silk suit, which matched perfectly with his blue eyes. He ran his finger through his short brown hair nervously. He had ever been to such a gala event before. He felt like he was been watched by someone. He looked to side of him. A young blond haired girl was staring at him. He was wearing a beautiful blue ballroom dress, decorated with crystal flowers. The shade of blue really brought out the blue in her bright hazel blue eyes. Her golden blond hair was straight and sat on her shoulders, her bangs hanging over her pretty eyes. She was beautiful. He stared at her, admiring the sight he saw. She blushed madly, and ran off. He looked down in lap, disappointed. The girl ran over to her father, clinging to his pants leg.
"Aw, what's the matter sweetie?" He asked, patting his daughter head. The man he was speaking to looked down on her.
"So Tyrell, this must be your little girl, the technology genius." Tyrell nodded, pushing his daughter towards him.
"Yes Gozaburo, this is my daughter Kurumi."
Young Kurumi looked up at the man. He was very fearful looking, she bowed, and nervously said.
"Nice to meet you, Mister Kaiba sir."
Gozaburo smirked at the young girl. She was pretty and well mannered. Gozabruo scanned the room, looking for his stepson.
"Seto, come here for a minute."
Seto got up from his seat and walked over to his stepfather. Gozaburo placed his hand on Seto's shoulder and introduced him to his business partner.
"Tyrell, this is my stepson Seto, my heir to the company." He said proudly. Tyrell smiled.
"Well, I don't have a boy, but I'm sure my lil Kurumi will do fine for TI."
Kurumi blushed. Seto turned to her. They both bowed to each other and smiled.
"You can excuse yourself now." Gozaburo told the two. As they both slowed walked away, Seto turned to her again extending his hand to her to dance. She placed her hand in his and followed him to the dance floor.

(end of flashback)

Seto stopped typing, looking over to Kurumi. She was smiling brightly.
"Go on. I forgot what happens next." Seto smiled softy, hoping Kurumi was paying attention. He remembered that night clear as day. Kurumi smiled, glad that Seto was taking interest.
"Ok...were was I?"

(flashback)

As Kurumi took his hand, he smiled at her. He was taken back by her extreme beauty up close. Kurumi blushed. Her young heart raced. They both fought hard to hold their emotions back form each other, but couldn't help it. Seto led her to the dance floor and they danced, holding each other softly.
"So, what's your name?" Seto asked, curious about her.
"Kurumi....and yours?"
"Seto..It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Same here." They danced silently, staring into each other eyes.

"We pretend not to realize how we really feel
And suddenly, we fell in love
Let me be with you
I want to hold you tight"

As they danced, they felt themselves being watched. As looked to their parents, and they were indeed watching. Kurumi let go of Seto's shoulders.
"Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed." She blushed deeply. She reached out for his hand
"Come, I know somewhere we can go."
Seto grabbed her soft hand and the ran off onto the deserted balcony. Kurumi closed the huge door behind her and sat on the swing chair on the balcony. She tapped the seat next her, wanting him to sit with her. He sat on the swing chair holding hands as they looked out at the stars. Kurumi pointed out at the stars, amazed by the view.
"Seto look, there all so beautiful."
Seto sat quietly, his hand in hers. He admired her beauty in the moonlight.
"Their not even close to how beautiful you are."
Kurumi blushed madly. He was so sweet. She moved closer to him, closing her eyes. He leaned in, kissing her lips softy.

(end of flashback)

Kurumi blushed, embrrassed. She looked at Seto, who was affected by reliving memories as well. He sat back shocking, remembering how nice he had been back then. He glanced over to Kurumi. Tears were trailing down her face, as she frowned.
"I wish...I wish sometimes we could go back to that."
She wiped her tears, but they came back as quick as she wiped them. Seto noticed her tears, but said nothing.
"Things were so much easier when we were younger. No big companies to worry about. We could just have been kids." Seto looked at her, sighing heavily. Maybe he had changed too much. He stood up from his desk and walked over to her.

"Until Now, I've been unable to say it, I've just been hiding it
I'm only acting strong, that's all it is, please see through it."

He extended him hand to her, pulling her up out of the leather computer chair. He stared into her eyes as she cried. He held her hand in his own and said,
"You shouldn't be crying. Things change, people change. It's a way of life. You have to grow up sometime. Stop being a whiney lil baby and wipe your eyes."
Seto words cut through her deeply. He was right. People do change, and she had to accept it. Their relationship wasn't the way it used to be and she had to realize that it wouldn't be. She wiped the tears from her eyes and he let go of her hand.

"When we let go our joined hands
It makes me uneasy
Let Me Be With You
I just want to hold you"

Seto felt horrible for what he just said to her. But he didn't show it on his face. He sighed and then said.
"Go home....I'll finish up here."
Kurumi nodded and grabbed her jacket and got on the elevator. As she walked up and away from the Kaiba Corp building into the darkness, a strange figure grabbed her and knocked her unconscious.

Keiko: Well, that's the end of chapter six. I don't have many comments this time around, but please review. Also, I don't own the song "Let me be with you." from the Chobits series. Later.
