Chapter 25

Missing Moments and Good byes

three hours later

Kisty lay on the couch completely ready to give up and just let her life be declared over, as she knew it, she did not want Pegasus's company, she thought herself excessively too young, not to mention she didn't want to turn out like her father. She then remembered that her father took over Kaiba Corp at the age of 13, but he had Mokuba and not to mention the big five at the time, but this was Industrial Illusions she was thinking about.

"I might as well accept defeat, I am never going to decide the right choice," she muttered with her hand on her face still and hanging half way off the couch. Lisa was sitting in the chair, "Oh Kisty what is scaring you more, failing or not trying?" she asked. Kisty sat up letting the blood that just washed into her brain drain out, "NO, that's not fear, I just, I…" she could not say it, she knew Seto changed after her mother came back into his life when they were teenagers, but would she become it.

"Your afraid of what?" asked Lisa, looking at her niece dead in the eye. "I umm," she looked at the door to the living room, to see if it had opened and Seto was going to be busy with what ever he was doing for a while so she just decided to get it out. "I am afraid that I will become cold and heartless, much like Seto was," she said. Lisa looked at Kisty puzzled she referred to her father as Seto, which was odd since she had been calling him dad for more then a few months now.

"Kisty?" she spoke worried, "You're not going to be like that." Kisty looked down at the floor, "I don't want to be like that, work all the time, make big decisions, step on people," she listed all of Seto's old traits that he did during the times of which he ignored her. "You're not him, at least not 100 anyways, besides if you do I will kick your butt if you act like him. Not to mention you have something he did have at that young age," she said. "What do I have that he didn't?" asked Kisty now sitting up correctly.

"You have a family that consists of, Mokuba as your Uncle, an Aunt who knows what you can and can't do, and last but not least a loving father to look after you if you fall on your face a dozen times," said Seto stepping into the room with a very large box. Lisa nodded, "Yep and you also have Yugi, my father Atem, Joey, Tristan, Serenity, Mai who I might add just took over a large fashion business last week, and you have the traits of your mother," she added.

"She doesn't have the Mutt," snapped Seto putting the box down. Kisara lifted her head and barked at Seto. "I wasn't referring to you Kisara, so don't bark at me," Seto said, "I was talking about Wheeler." Kisara started to wag her tail, for some reason that dog looked happy when Seto would insult Joey, even if Joey were not around.

Kisty looked at her father, "I don't know if I can do it," she said turning her gaze to the floor. Seto walked over to Kisty and sat down next to her, and placed his hand under her chin, "You can, but the choice is yours to make, this is something I can't tell you what to do," he said. Kisty nodded her head, "I know, it's just that, I umm," she started to stumble on her words. Seto already too knew what she was going to say, "Kisty, you will never become the monster I was," he said, "besides I have said this once and I will say it again, you are too much like your mother," he spoke with a smile.

Mokuba walked into the room, "Seto we still have a few more boxes to bring down here," he said. Kisty looked over at Mokuba and then at Seto, "What you up too?" she asked. Lisa had put the blanket she was making a side and was digging into the box that Seto just put down, "It appears to be some book and old photo albums," she said. Seto turned, "Hey stay out of there, until Mokuba and I get the rest of those boxes down from the attic," he snapped.

"The attic, but isn't that where you put all of Mom's things?" asked Kisty surprised that her father was bring it out. "I know your making yourself walk though memory lane and the sad memories are right now is taking hold over all your good ones. So I figured if you're walking down memory lane we all should especially me," he said with a smirk. Mokuba walked in with a huge box, "I wonder why you and Alexandra, accumulated so much stuff," he said setting it down next to the other two. Kisty smiled, "You'll see why," she said.

two hours later

"Ok, what is in these boxes?" asked Mokuba out of breath setting the last one down. Kisty smiled, "Pictures, memories, a lot of Mom's old stuff," she answered. Seto smirked, "And some of ours Mokuba," he said. Lisa smiled at Mokuba, "I think that box you just put down has our wedding stuff," she said pointing to the smallest box which Seto had brought in which was very large but small compared to the rest.

Kisty grabbed one of the larger boxes, "Ok lets see what's in box number 1," she smirked opening it. Seto smiled knowing what was in each box, and Lisa was right about the wedding stuff, but it also had, Seto and Alexandra's wedding items too.

"WOW!" said Kisty holding up a picture of a boy, "who is this?" she asked holding it out to Mokuba and Seto. Mokuba and Seto laughed, "Can't you tell Kisty," said Mokuba posing the same way as the very young teenage boy in the picture. "AHH, Moky that's you in this, wow you look, so, so," she trailed off from embarrassment. "I am what?" he demanded to know. Kisty giggled and handed the picture to Lisa who quickly blushed, "Oh man Mokuba what happened to you?" she asked. Mokuba glared, "What I have a zit on my face or something?" he asked.

Lisa moved over to Mokuba, "What ever happened to the hot boy in this photo," she said in a sexual tone, "I would have fallen for you in seconds if you looked like this in Egypt," she said leaning against him. Kisty rolled her eyes, "Please he is hot, but not my idea of a guy to date," she said. Seto and Mokuba looked at Kisty as she soon realized what she said and grabbed her mouth, "I didn't just say my Uncle was Hot did I?" she asked seconds later. Seto and Mokuba while laughing nodded their head, while Kisty's embarrassment was showing on her young white face turning a bright pink.

"Ok my turn to pulls something out of the box," said Lisa sticking her arm into the box, and pulling out a book, "Looks like I scored a photo album," she smirked. Seto looked at Mokuba and they both jumped after the book, "NO!" they yelled. Kisty jumped as Lisa threw her the album to avoid Seto and Mokuba's lung to get it from her.

Kisty opened the book, "Hey where suppose to be walking down memory lane here, so you two cut it out!" snapped the girl. Seto and Mokuba stopped in there tracks, "Oh yeah I forgot but don't open that one Kisty," pleaded Mokuba. "Why shouldn't I?" she asked.

Seto and Mokuba sighed, "Because that's our mother's album of when we were kids before she died," he said. Kisty looked at them, and then at the album in her hands. It took a moment to decide but in the end, she handed Seto and Mokuba the book, "You will open it when you're ready," she said looking at the couch she was standing behind it, and walking out of the room.

Seto and Mokuba looked at it and then at Kisty who stepped out of the room. Seto looked at his brother who nodded, for him to go talk to her. Lisa looked at Seto, "Here you might want to take this," she said, pulling out a photo album from the box with Alexandra's stuff in it and gave it to Seto. Seto took the book and went upstairs, Kisara followed him as he walked to Kisty's room, and he could hear her inside crying again.

"Kisty?" spoke Seto against the door, after he knocked. Kisara pushed open the door with her nose. Kisty lay on the bed with her face in the pillow, Seto could see that her room was again a mess almost exactly as it was the day he put her to bed after her mother's funeral where things just lay on the floor scattered everywhere.

Kisara walked over to Kisty and jumped on the bed, as Seto stood in the doorway with the book in his hand, and looking at her. "Kisty? I am sorry, it just that…" he spoke, Kisty looked at him, "Don't worry about it," she said turning away from him, "It's opening up old wounds that neither of us want to go through again."

Seto walked in and shut the door and sat next to Kisty on her bed, "No, but let's just leave my memories behind for now," he said looking at the floor. Kisty rolled over, "Why?" she asked. Seto nodded, "Because I hate to be reminded of the monster I once was," he whispered. Kisty sat up and looked at her father, she could see the tears forming in his eyes, and he had done something horrible in his past.

"Well leave it there," she said, quickly without really thinking about it. Seto turned, "NO, we can't, or at least I can't, it would be hurtful to you as it is to me, if I make you live through your memories of when I wasn't there," he said. Kisty looked at the book in Seto's hand, "Why don't you look in that one?" she asked pointing to the book.

Seto looked at Kisty, "What do you mean?" he asked. Kisty sighed, "I made that album, when I turned 3, I can tell because of the writing on the front," she said. Seto lifted the book, "Lisa handed it to me, she said I should bring it with me up here," he said. Kisty took a deep breath, "I made it for you actually," she said, "For when I met you, but Mom, packed it away so I couldn't give it to you," she spoke and took the book from Seto's hands.

The large green colored book was wrapped in leather binding and the pages where laminated. Kisty moved to sit with Seto on the bed, Kisara moved so that Kisty could sit next to her father. "You open it," she said, handing it back to Seto once she repositioned herself next to him.

Seto slowly opened the book it held papers in the first few pages, it was Kisty's handwriting from when she was younger. The first page was in blue and purple crayon, with the words KISTY'S Years in scribbled handwriting. "Your first words I take it?" he asked. Kisty shook her head, "No actually just open it," she said.

Kaiba turned the page and there were pictures, of Alexandra on the page, she was in the hospital. Another woman was in the shot, and a little girl with Marik's nose with faded pink hair was next to Alexandra who had a little bundle in her arms. Seto knew just at that moment that was in the bundle, it was Kisty just only a few hours old. Under the picture Alexandra's handwriting appeared, it read; 'Kisty's first day, with Nefertiti and Kara Ishtar.'

Seto saw Kisty face in the shot, it looked so young and pure not like it was now at least some parts were the same. In the picture, Seto could see Kisty's eyes they shined like blue orbs; much like his own did when he was younger.

Seto's eyes moved to the next picture, Alexandra was standing in front of a small house with something in her arms, again it was Kisty only a few days old now. Isis, Marik, Odeon, Nefertiti, and Kara were in the picture, along with Jake and Orion, except the two boys where holding Kara up on their shoulders and were very young. Seto looked at the picture then at Kisty there was no writing on it like the one before. "That was Mom's place that we moved into once she and I were allowed to leave the hospital," she said pointing to the white and blue house in the background.

"It looks nice," said Seto as he looked at the picture, "I take it you lived with the Ishtars?" he asked. Kisty shook her head, "Not really, they bought us the place, since Mom was moving a lot back then and since they wanted her to settle down a bit because of me, they got us the house," she said. Seto nodded and pointed at he two boys in the shot, "Orion and Jake?" he asked. Kisty nodded, "yeah, that's them back when they were just fun loving boys, Kara was only two years older then me, and Jake and Orion about 3 to 4 years older," she said.

Seto looked at the next picture, which was just below the one of the house; Kisty was in a high chair, with a little blue eyes white dragon bib around her neck. Isis was in the background, a woman with brown hair next to her, and Alexandra with a spoon in her hand. The picture had writing under it, feeding time for Kisty; that is Isis and Ann in the background.

Seto laughed when he looked closer at the picture, Kisty's face was covered in applesauce and looked as if she were half-asleep, and she looked to be about four months old now, her brown hair starting to grow more. "You look cute," he said with a smile. Kisty nodded, and turned the page for Seto.

The next picture was Kisty's first birthday, it was written at the top of the page, Kisty sat with Jake, Orion, Kara, and Alexandra in behind, Kisty with a birthday cake propped in front of her. "That cake didn't last long," she giggled.

Seto looked at the next picture, Kisty hands and her face were in the cake, Kara, Jake and Orion had frosting over there faces. "Mom told me we didn't have cake for my birthday again until I was old enough to eat it on my own," she giggled. Seto chuckled at the thought, yet it saddens him that he had missed Kisty's younger years.

"Kisty turned to the next page and on it was Alexandra and Pegasus, with Kisty was in between them appeared to be walking. The writing above it was Kisty's first steps, and more. Seto looked over at Kisty what else happened that day?" he asked her.

Kisty smiled and pointed to the next picture, which showed her half-naked and walking out of a room with Alexandra in hot pursuit, "I was potty trained that same day," she giggled pointing to the shot of Alexandra holding Kisty with a little toilet trophy in her hand with large smiles on their faces. "I was 1 and half when we did that," she smiled.

Seto smiled also and turned the page, Kisty, Kara, Jake and Orion, where standing in front of the Domino museum, "This was taken in Domino!" said Seto in shock. Kisty nodded, "It was just after your third battle city tournament," she said, "Isis invited us to come and watch the finals since she had tickets, and I was wanted to go really badly."

"That was the year I came out of retirement, just for that tournament, because Atem wanted a real opponent," he said. "I know that was the year you beat Atem too," she said, "You used an old combo of Blue Eyes white dragons and Black luster solder by using monster reborn on Black Luster soldier and putting him with your dragons. I was the girl in the stands yelling your name the loudest when you won," she smiled. Seto looked at Kisty puzzled the day slowly came back to him.

11 years ago

"SETO, YEAH SETO!" yelled Kisty from the stands when he won the match against Atem. "Kisty quiet he will see you!" snapped Kara. Kisty looked at Kara, "I don't care, he is related to me, I want him to see me!" she snapped back. Alexandra looked over at the girls and smiled, then at Isis, "I will be back in a little bit," she said. Isis nodded thinking Alexandra was going to speak with Seto, after being gone for three long years now.

Seto was down in the arena next to Atem they were shaking hands for a good duel being good sports for the crowd. Seto could hear a little girl calling his name, but from where he did not know. Seto looked around Atem stopped waving to the crowd and saw that

Seto was distracted. "Kaiba is something wrong?" Atem asked. Seto looked around, "Do you hear some one calling my name?" he asked. Atem laughed, "Kaiba you just won your own tournament don't you think you would have fans in the stadium if you didn't win?" he asked. Seto shrugged his shoulders, "Guess your right, there are thousand of people out there that know what my first name is," he said waving his arms at the people.

Alexandra stood in the darkness of one of the tunnels, which the duelist where to enter and exit. She could hear Kisty yelling from the stands and see Seto talking to Atem as they approached. Seto looked up and thought for a moment that he saw someone up ahead, that appearance to look like Alexandra. "Seto are you ok?" asked Atem when he saw Seto stop in the tunnel with a blank look on his face. "No, I thought I saw Alex just now," he said grabbing his forehead.

Atem looked at Seto, "I don't see anyone here, look how long has it been two years?" he asked. Seto shook his head, "Three almost four years, I guess I just miss her still, Atem that's all. If she ever comes back she better have a darn good reason why she left me, at the altar, like she did," he snapped.

Meanwhile Alexandra was in the very hallway hidden in the shadows, she heard Seto talking, she thought to herself, 'No, Seto isn't ready for her yet,' she convinced herself and walked back up to the stands where the children and Isis were waiting.

present day

"Mom was such a wreck when we got back to the hotel, that she packed my bags and we went off to Egypt, I had begged to go and she said no, then that night she said she changed her mind," said Kisty remembering her mother's reaction when she got back to them. A month later Kara and Nefertiti died in that accident at the excavation, and Kara gave me her kidney to survive," she said turning the page now.

Kisty appeared to be in the hospital with bandages around her head, and one on her side. Alexandra with some bruises and cuts but appearing to be fine, as if the accident did not injure her too badly, however, no one knew about the piece of hot shrapnel in the backbone until it was too late and grew into an infection.

"What happened that day?" he asked looking at Kisty's face. Kisty took a deep breath, "Mom's and our best friends died, that's what happened. Jake and Orion I guess blamed me for it secretly, and wanted to either make me, Kara's replacement or kill me," she said biting her lower lip and closing her eyes.

Seto turned the next page of the book; Kisty was on a plane with Pegasus next to her and a birthday cake in front of her with the words happy big Four Kisty on it. Seto smiled, "I am sorry that we didn't really give you a good birthday when you turned five," he said.

Kisty shook her head, "No, it was the best one I ever had Dad, you, Mom, Yugi, Atem, Tristan, Serenity, Joey, Mokuba, Tea, and Lisa, where there for me. I would never forget it," she smiled, "I had the family I always dreamed about, a Dad, a Mom, and relatives other then Pegasus," she smiled.

Seto chuckled at that, "You know your 15th is coming up here in a month and you also have to make, probably one of the most difficult decisions in your life," he said. Kisty nodded, "I don't really want to think about it anymore today," she said. Seto nodded "ok there is one more page in this book," he said.

Kisty looked at it, "There shouldn't be anymore pages, that one of me on the plane with the birthday cake, should have been it," she said. Seto turned the page, there was pictures, not old ones but new ones, Kisty sat table with a large birthday cake in front of her, Seto Alexandra where behind her and Yugi, Atem, Tea, Tristan, Mokuba, Lisa, Joey and Serenity where all smiling, in the picture.

Seto looked at the picture, "Your fifth birthday," he whispered under his breath. Kisty sat there looking at something taped to the cover of the book, "Dad, look at this," she said pulling a DVD off the cover. "I thinks Mom, added this last page and this," she said.

"I guess so," he said, as they stood up and headed to the living room. Mokuba and Lisa were going through the boxes looking for old movies and other things, one box had a big X on it. "Mokuba come on I want to see the DVD hand it here," said Lisa reaching for it. Seto and Kisty walked into the room, just in time to see Lisa reach for the DVD in Mokuba's hand. "You found one, too I take it," said Kisty catching their attention.

"Well it about time you two got back here, everything ok?" asked Mokuba with concern. Kisty smiled, and looked up at Seto, "It will be once I get to take a look at this DVD my mother made before she died," she said holding up the disk.

Lisa laughed, "Well this one, Lisa is trying to get, was made by us and isn't for viewing of anyone who hasn't had sex yet," said Mokuba holding the disk away from Lisa. "OH, come on, it's not the first one we made is it?" she asked. Seto laughed, "Mokuba burn the disk before I take it and throw it in the fire for you," he said. Kisty started to laugh, "DAD! You know I will fine one of you and mom some day," she said. Seto looked at Kisty, "that might be it in your hand there," he said.

Kisty looked at the disk, "we'll find out when we watch it," she said. Mokuba and Lisa figured it would be best if just Seto and Kisty watch the DVD since it was made for them. Mokuba and Lisa said good night and headed out to their place. Kisty sat on the couch with Seto and Kisara their big black dog sat at the foot of the couch.

Seto put the DVD in the player, it started to play, a menu screen popped up, and it had the choices of what movies where on it. The list was First time, first kiss, first words, Moments with Seto and Kisty, moments, Kisty's steps, and Alex's message.

Kisty sighed, "Which one first?" she asked. Seto looked at Kisty, "How about the message first," he answered. Kisty nodded, "Ok," she spoke. Seto moved the choice to Alex's message and pressed play.

The video

Alexandra appeared on the screen she appeared to be in her room at the Kaiba mansion, for her clothes it was the day after the wedding for Kisty and Seto could see the boxes on the bed. "Kisty, Seto if you're watching this then you found my little surprise in the photo album," she spoke to the camera. "I probably have been gone for a short amount of time or knowing you, Seto, a very long time. You both probably miss me, very much, I guess Kisty you found your book finally either while moving my stuff around or Seto found it in the box I stashed it in, anyways, I should say I miss both of you two."

She took a large sigh, "I might as well tell you what's on this disk if you haven't figured it out already, Seto it seems Joey or Mokuba got a little carried away with the video camera, at the party. They, some how gotten it in to your room, and well Kisty's conception is here and I recording over it on this tape to keep them from using it against you, although the moment I found it and copied it to another disk and is here, for safe keeping, you know the password to open it. Our first kiss is on here too, Mokuba record almost all of our first real date, and followed you out to the point, which I guess you probably had shown Kisty by now. Kisty, I have asked your Uncle Pegasus record some key moments of you and he did, and then gave to me on my wedding day before the ceremony, I put them on here for Seto and you since you were so young. There are moments key ones of Kisty's life that you missed Seto, and there are some ones for Kisty too back when we were younger. I also found some interesting footage can you believe it, stuff of us when we were kids? Probably not knowing you anyways that's all that on here besides my good bye and moments in both your lives that you should both know about."

Alexandra looked over to her right then back at the camera and continued to talk, "If you getting this late, then I am sorry to say this to you Kisty but Pegasus is going to give you Industrial Illusions when he and I are gone, I want you to take the company when your 15. I know you can handle it, it won't be easy to do I know you didn't want to run a company when your so young not to mention a little older then Seto was when he ran Kaiba Corp. I expect him to help you in anyway he can after all he is your father, and trust him with all my heart."

Seto pushed pause the DVD, he looked at Kisty who was holding back her tears, and he did not have to say anything to her as she looked at the floor. "I don't want it," she whispered. Seto placed a hand on Kisty's shoulder, and she looked at him, "What am I going to do?" she asked. Seto handed Kisty the remote, "Do what you heart tells you, as your mother told me once," he said. Kisty looked at the remote in her hand, and up at the frozen image of her mother on the screen, "I will consider her request," she muttered looking towards Seto now.

Kisty pushed the play button, and Alexandra began to talk again on the DVD, "Ok, now that I got that stuff off the list here. I think it time for me to say good-bye, and to let you two know that when I go, I want to do it alone at least I hope the doctors allow my request to go through. I think I should, say this now, since you two are probably shocked that I made such a request, but I don't want you two, to remember my last moments at least not the sad ones, that's why I only put the good ones here since I know the bad is still ahead or you went through that already."

Alexandra sighed loudly again, "I didn't want you, Kisty, to see me in that amount of pain and then suddenly go limp before your eyes. Your so young at least you were, I knew I wasn't going to make it to your 6th birthday so I made this to tell you that and I didn't want you to be sad remembering me like that, so that's why I told the doctors to let you and Seto wait outside until I either recovered or finally pass. Seto you are probably wondering why I told you to say out as well, the answer is right next to you, it is Kisty, I want her to rely you, since you are following my request to be a her parent. The reason I did not say father to her, was because I don't know if she would accept you as it or if you earned it as she put it a lot. Well I hear you two just got home, so I better put this away, Kisty I love you my Princess Angel, and Seto I love you my Dragon Keeper. Good bye both of you," she spoke then the DVD menu popped up and Alexandra disappeared from the screen.

Kisty looked the TV, with Seto next to her on the couch both looking at the TV. Kisara on the floor looking at the two, Kisara barked which scared Kisty half to death causing her to fall over on to her father. Seto looked at Kisty who was knocked out of his deep thinking trance as well, and soon felt Kisty hugging him. Seto felt his heart breaking he knew the Kisty was scared about the next month but he knew that Kisty had Alexandra's endurance and knew how to survive, even if she did not want the company after all Kisty was a Kaiba like him self.

Seto wrapped his arms around his daughter pulling her closer to him, as she cried into him as she did in the limo on the way home. Kisty didn't realize it because she was too busy with her own tears but Seto was letting some very fought back tears fall, he missed Alexandra, his Angel, the woman who, saved his life from the monster he was becoming just after Atem left.

15 years ago (if any of the years seem off I apologize because I am bad at time lines just think a year or two before Kisty was born it should work)

Alexandra was walking in the park, and then looked up at the Kaiba Corporation building; she had not seen Seto for at least a few months now. The last time Alexandra saw Seto was at the museum, with Yugi and the others. The young blue haired woman walked towards the Kaiba Corp building from the park since it was across the street was the quickest way to get there.

Seto was busy working on his designs for new duel disks, and working frantically at his computer. A knock on his door brought him out of it; he looked at the door "THIS BETTER BE GOOD!" he yelled. The door opened slowly, "Hi Seto is this a bad time?" asked Alexandra sticking her head in the room. Seto almost fell over, when he say Alexandra, her warm smile, those blue eyes that shined like stars in the sky, but he remained cold in his face and his heart began to race seeing her again.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. Alexandra smirked, "Thought you needed a break from work, since you didn't take a lunch brake and I think you needed it," she said stepping into the room.

Seto glared at her, "I am busy working on a project," he snapped, "Just go away Alex," he said. Alexandra smirked, "No, Seto Kaiba, I am taking you out of this office, before you become a certain someone," she snapped. Seto looked at her with a raised eyebrow from his computer screen, "Who?" he snapped back at her.

Alexandra smiled, "You know who I am talking about, the man that convinced my Uncle to send me to boarding school, the guy who made you a gaming fanatic, the man who's company you took over," she finally got it out, "GOSABURO KAIBA! Who else would I be referring too?" she asked.

Seto smirked, "Mokuba?" he spoke with a small laugh. Alexandra crossed her arms, "He is still a boy unlike you," she pointed out, "Besides according to my sources of information, you been in here almost all day, come on you need to get outside and breathe some fresh air," she said walking over to Seto and grabbing his arm and pulling away from the computer.

Seto pulled his arm back, "NO! I am not," he snapped. "COME ON SETO!" she said throwing hands down on the desk, "You been locked in an office for a while now, come on," she snapped. Seto looked at her, "What are you trying to get at, it nearly sun set and besides I have work to do," he snapped. Alexandra rolled her eyes, "Fine, bring the lab top I am driving," she said moving away, "You can work on the duel disk in the car," she said. Seto rolled his eyes, "Why should I go anywhere with you?" he asked.

"If you don't, I will pull the plug on your computer right now," she said with her hand on the cable. Seto sighed, "ALRIGHT, ALEX I will do it," he snapped. Alexandra smirked at Seto "good hurry up," she spoke.

(Seto thoughts are in italics and Alexandra's is bold and italics and there thoughts at the same time underline, bold and italic)

Seto was typing in the car and Alexandra driving like a bat out of hell, "Who taught you how to drive woman your nuts," he said as Alexandra sped past two cars. "I am not answering that," she said driving up some near by hillsides. Seto looked out the window at one point and saw his mansion pass by at least he knew that she would take him home after this, but something tugged at his heartstrings. 'No get a hold of your self Seto she isn't that cute,' he thought then he looked over at Alexandra. 'That blue hair, and blue eyes, makes me think of my dragons, especially the one she gave me,' he thought again to himself. 'She is Pegasus's niece it would be a good career move or signing my death certificate,' his thoughts getting worse.

'Look at that body she has, wow, she is just about a foot shorter then me, but whoa, she has grown in more then one way since we were kids' his thought. 'WHAT am I thinking, WORK Kaiba you work you have to focus,' he yelled at him self again. Seto took his eyes off Alexandra and looked back at his computer screen the light in the car was getting dimmer soon he wouldn't be able to see the keyboard but the screen was very bright but too bright for Alexandra to drive and him work.

'Ok, so work is out of the question at this point,' he thought, 'then again she did drag me out of the office to bring me out here wonder what she is going to show me that's up at this over look?' he continued to think.

Meanwhile Alexandra was fighting with herself, 'This just has to work, Mokuba said to get Seto back to his old self show him something amazing, sun sets and rises are cool even if you know the science behind it' she giggled in her thoughts. 'Great Seto is looking at me,' she thought'Maybe because your beautiful and sweet not to mention innocent, and oh yeah rich as he is,' said another voice. 'Shut up, he isn't my type I am doing this for Mokuba he wants his brother back and I am the only one who can do it, besides he changed just after I was sent away,' she snapped at her thought mentally. 'Oh yes he is, you just will not let anyone into your heart because you do not want to be pushed away again,' said the second voice. 'I know I don't want to get hurt again, but oh, shut up, I am not falling for him,' she tried to convince herself. Seto was looking at his lab top again working in the growing darkness.

'Darn it, he is so handsome, dashing, not mention egotistical, angry, pushy, but also lonely, sweet, cares about his brother, loves work and duel monsters, but he will never love me,' she finalized her thoughts. Seto now was thinking about Alex, 'Pushy, cute, NO cute is not the right word, it should be hot, now that is a piper I would like to taste' he thought. 'DANG it there it goes again, my brain focus you need to work.'

'He's strong'

'She's demanding'

'He's handsome'

'She's hot'

'He's a work attic'

'She's a control freak'

'Runs Kaiba Corp'

'Niece of Pegasus'

'He has a heart'

'She is kind even when I am jerk to her'

'He helped me a few months ago with the exhibit'

'She was almost crushed by a statue, did I actually cared, and yes I did care very much.'

This went one in their minds until the came to an outlook and it was about 10 minutes until sun set. "We cutting it close, but you should see this," she said getting out of the car. Seto rolled his eyes, "Fine what ever," he said following Alexandra to the cliff top. (If you have not figured, it out this place, they are at is the same place Seto took Kisty too)

The air was cold with the sent of spring and the sun slowly moving down as if falling into behind them over the water in the distance. Alexandra walked out onto the dry grass and stopped at one point, "Isn't this cool?" she asked. Seto crossed his arms, "It's an over look, you know, I could see this form my mansion, around the block," he said stopping next to her. 'She is driving me nuts why would she bring me here unless, no she wouldn't would she?' he thought.

Alex took a deep breath, "I am not going to throw you off the cliff Seto so you can relax," she said with a small laugh as if sensing that he was thinking that. Seto looked at her, 'Ok now that she made that clear why would she bring me here?' he thought. "I brought you up here, because this place holds something special," she said. Seto felt himself get nervous as Alex moved closer to him. "This is the place we last spoke when we were little, to officially say good bye," she said then turning around.

Seto remembered that day, long ago, he stood at that very place Alexandra was crying into his arms, she was leaving. "Don't worry Alex, well find each other again," he remembered saying, it was her day to leave. Alexandra was an emotional wreck when Pegasus showed up with Gosaburo and tore the two young teens apart; Gosaburo sent Seto on his work attic attitude, that night and had not really stopped working since.

Seto did not realized at that moment, back when Alexandra and him where little how much they meant to each other. Alexandra looked out at the sun set it dark colors were slowly growing darker; the black, yellow and orange sky began to turn as black as silk. A cold and harsh wind blew and Alex shivered but she did not move.

'I cared about her so much that I worked my ass off to survive to get her back,' he thought. 'I just lost my self; I became cold, like Gosaburo, as much as I hate him for what he did to me. Alex shouldn't have been hurt by it, could I actually still care for her after all these years?' he thought. Alex started to show signs of getting cold and Seto saw this and pulled off his trench coat, and placed it around her shoulders.

Alex looked at the blue coat that was around her shoulders as she felt Seto's hands on her shoulders and looking down at her. Their eyes locked and their minds some how connected, 'this is it, now or never' they both thought at the same time.

Seto moved from behind Alexandra so that they were standing face to face. Seto touched Alexandra's soft white face, and leaned forward and Alexandra lifted her head she knew it was time for her to kiss him. 'Now or never,' they thought as they slowly kissed each other on the lips.

present day

Seto held Kisty close, he realized at that moment how much he actually missed Alexandra. The woman changed everything that one day when they shared their first kiss on the cliff with the sun set in the background, on that 360 over look as if saying good-bye to those dark days.

Kisty lifted her head from her father's chest, which she had been crying into for about 15 minutes straight, and looked at him. She could see the two tear lines as her father's face as he looked down at her. Kisty's eyes made Seto think of Alexandra, maybe that is why he worked all the time in the past, he wanted to pretend the Alexandra would come back, but deep down he knew that the closest thing he had to Alexandra now, was their child, which was hugging him.

"She loved you, so very much Kisty," he spoke moving the some bangs from his daughter's face. "I miss her so much," she said with sadness in her voice. "I do too," he said.

Kisty closed her eyes and leaned against her father's chest, she could feel the warmth from his body and his heartbeat as they both lay their on the couch slowly falling sleep. Seto smiled and kissed Kisty on the head, "You want to watch some of the movies?" he asked.

Kisty nodded her head and leaned it against her father's chest facing the TV, as if using her father as large pillow. Seto smiled and then they both felt some thing large and furry at their feet. Kisty and Seto looked to see Kisara curled in a ball at their feed as a foot blanket.

Seto and Kisty laughed slightly and began to play the DVD starting with Moments with Seto and Kisty, and Kisty's first moments, they figured this was the best place to start.


Twilight Memories: Wow, two chapters to upload in one night, and yeah I updated lol. You can see from the last chapter that Pegasus, is the one that died, I know a heartattack was kind of dumb way to send him out, however there was another idea to have him killed so Kisty could take over the company earily and that way I could put in the guy that told Orion and Jake to go after Kisty, for that wasn't all for revenge. I had to throw the idea out because our villan has already made an apperence as well as Seto's new love interest, well two of them anyways. Ok enough of my babbling, and yes Atem is going to be a grandfather, and you will notice howLisa uses the word "Babies", that's not an accient, it's for later. Hope you like Alexandra's and Seto first date moment.
