Ok to clean up any age confusion being that I keep going back and forth with the time, in the present with everyone's ages
Seto is 21 almost 22
Alec is 21
Sara is in her late 20's, early 30's
Pretty much everyone else is Alec's age, with the exception Mokuba who is 16, also Yugi's Grandpa, Odeon, Isis, and Pegasus.
I noticed this while doing some rereading, and well that's about it for now for I am working on chapter 6 and 7 to upload tomorrow.
Chapter 5
The Return
Present day,
Seto was in his home office, thinking about how he changed, "I am nothing like that nut case, Gosaburo," he said to himself, "How could Alec say that, I mean she and I were deeply in love with each other until about three years ago, what could have gone so wrong between us?" said Seto aloud.
Mokuba knocked on the door, "Seto can I talk to you?" he asked. "Mokuba you don't need to knock come in," he said. Mokuba walked in, "is it ok if Tea could come in too?" he asked, and Seto nodded, so Tea entered the office as well.
"I could hear you thought the door," said Mokuba, "I think I know when you and Alec went your different ways." Seto raised an eyebrow, "Ok, sport you tell me why Alec and I would hate each other now," he said taking a seat in his chair.
Mokuba explain however, he had a question to ask first, "It was when she came to stay with us for a while, but first, did you too ever, sleep together that night when you turned 16?" he asked his older brother. Seto wasn't about to answer the question in front of Tea, "I am not answering that one, little brother, at least not in front of Tea," he said.
Mokuba nodded, "Tea, could you give my brother and me some time to talk?" he asked. Tea nodded and left the room she was the one who wanted to find out what Kaiba's problem with Alec was, and shut the door behind her.
Seto then answered the question "NO, we may have been in my bedroom after my 16th birthday party, but we didn't do anything, except lie there in my bed and fall asleep in each other's arms," Seto answered sounding like he wish he was back in that memory, Mokuba nodded and remembered that incident.
Five years ago (if the time of years seem off I am sorry)
Sara looked down at Alec and Seto, they were asleep holding each other, Seto was on his back and Alec was on her side holding him, on the top blankets of Seto king sized bed. Mokuba walked in behind Sara rubbing his eyes, it was almost 6 am and the sun was going to be up soon. "I need to get Alec out of here before he wakes up and to get her out while it is still dark," said Sara to Mokuba. The little boy let out a sigh, his brother had a peaceful look on his face; Alec did as well, not one of them showed a sign of any nightmares for a change.
Sara walked over to Alec and gave a shove on her arm. Alec lifted her head, she saw Seto was asleep, and turned to face her sister, "Sorry sis, but it time to leave," Sara, whispered. Alec did not want to go, but she knew that it was time to leave; she reached over and gave Seto a kiss on the forehead, he moved a little but did not wake.
Sara stood there with her arms folded, "You two didn't, do it did you?" she asked. Alec shook her head no. Sara was relieved, "what did you too do all night anyways?"
Alec looked at her sister, "I though you said no questioned asked, I am willing to give the answer to the first one, I am not answering the second," said Alec quietly.
Sara headed for the door, "Alec come on we are leaving." Alec didn't' move she looked at Seto; she wanted to stay but knew that leaving was the only way to protect Mokuba and him.
Alec closed her eyes took a deep breathe and walked over to Sara, "Take care of him Moky, he has only you, now," she said.
Alec and Sara left the mansion just as the sun was rising, Alec looked outside the window of the limo that Sara had called, "I wish that tonight could have been forever, Sara," she said as tear drops ran down her face.
Sara touched her sister's hand, "I know Dragon, but it has to be this way until we find our Uncle and kill him; then you can be with Seto."
(Note I know in the Comic that Gosaburo threw himself out the window but then in the English dub they said he disappeared so bare with me)
Present Day
"Mokuba, that still doesn't explain why Alec and I hate each other," said Seto. Mokuba raised an eyebrow, "You were so mad that she left without even saying Good bye, or waking you, I remember it better then you do because you went to work and started spending almost all of your free time with Duel monsters and Kaiba Corp just to keep your mind off her."
Seto sat there stunned, "Ok then, so why is it we are mad at each other now?" Mokuba then took a big breath in, "BECAUSE she didn't do anything to save me when I was held by Pegasus remember. You yelled at her over the phone when we got back here, after Duelist Kingdom for not taking care of me, while you were trying to figure out why you lost to Yugi. Seto, I hate to take her side on this but you acted like Gosaburo before your match with Yugi, and that says a lot."
Tea could hear the yelling Mokuba was doing and came in the room followed by Yugi and Joey. "Get out Tea, this is family business!" yelled Seto.
Tea crossed her arm, "The last time you said that we were all in the virtual world with Noah, you have to get it through your skull nothing is just "family business" with you." Tea knew she hit a nerve when she mentioned Noah.
Mokuba looked at her, "Alec, said you were like Gosaburo, take a look at yourself Seto, a good hard one for what you been doing over the last nine years," he said looking at his older brother.
"If Alec had only told me how Noah got there in the virtual world sooner maybe she and I, would still be something there, or at least something else, but now I think differently she was just a waste of my time and energy," snapped Seto snapped.
Seto looked through everything he had done over the time in his mind: he defeated his stepfather, took over Kaiba Corp, and was in love with Alec. He became World Champion of Duel Monsters, he was beaten by Yugi, he let Mokuba, who was kidnapped by Pegasus, he and Alec argued over the phone about it, he beat Gosaburo again, he decided to follow his dream, he ran two tournaments, and to top the icing on the cake he was completely cold hearted.
Seto was realizing the ways of his actions, Tea, Alec, and Mokuba were right. He had gone from being a smart and nice kid to ruthless dictator of Kaiba Corp exactly like Gosaburo Kaiba.
Spending all his time with his invention, duel monsters cards, and had spent hardly anytime with any of his now so called friends or family, but then he realized the only friend he had was Mokuba, he did consider Yugi a friend but more of an rivals which to him was a small friend but nothing more then that.
He looked at how he was Gosaburo, he ran Kaiba Corp, defeated his enemies that opposed him by whipping the floor with them, he craved power over others, he spent more time working then with his own family. Seto concluded Alec was right he was like Gosaburo just as ruthless too.
He was not about to give Tea the upper hand on it, "So, what if I am like my step father, at least I know what I am Tea Gardner. You have a clue what you are making me think, right now?" Seto had done it now.
Tea knew exactly what she was making Kaiba think, "Yes Kaiba, but I know you don't considering it true, but it took you three people saying that you're like your stepfather to admit that you are like him at all."
Tea left the room, Yugi, Joey and Mokuba looked at the burning red CEO. Yugi ran after Tea with Joey and Mokuba, after a few minutes, Yugi came back and spoke to Seto,
"Kaiba, Mokuba told me something twice, back when you we went through project) and back when the big five trapped you in your video game. He told me that you have a good heart that you are a good person deep down," Yugi spoke calmly. "At the time, I did not think you were at all, just a good opponent and adversary that need to learn the meaning of teamwork, and to relay on others. I see now he was right, but you have some issues that you need to work out, although a lot has happened since you ripped up my Grandfather's Blue Eyes card," Yugi continued. "You gained friends, Kaiba and that is something Gosaburo never had, just think about that," he said.
Joey appeared in the door, Yugi turned to Joey, "Come on Joey no time for insults you and I have homework to do," he said. Joey turned and walked out the door without one word, Yugi was walking out as well, and Seto spoke up, "Yugi," he said calmly but strain in his voice, "thanks, I needed to hear that at least from a rival it sounds better, then in my own head," he said quietly.
Mokuba had heard what Yugi had said and thought about what he had just said, considering that was almost four years ago, when he said that it to Yugi. Mokuba had fully trusted his brother back then, but now he lost some of the trust since then.
Five years ago
Seto stood at his the window of the Kaiba mansion he had taken the day off for some time with Mokuba who seemed to be busy with this of his own homework. Seto was working on his computer when the phone rang; Roland, appeared in the doorway of Seto's office clearing his throat, "Hum, There is a Miss Pegasus on the phone for you sir."
Seto pick up the phone, "Kaiba here what is it?" "Seto, its Sara," there was worry in her voice Seto could tell. "Something happened to Alec, can you meet me at in Domino Park in an hour?" Sara asked. Seto answered, "Sara what happened to her tell me now."
Sara answered, "The line might not be secure enough, and please Seto meet me at in the park in Domino City in an hour ok." Sara hung up the phone, Seto set the phone down he was worried, and if anything happened to Alec, he would not know what to do with himself.
Seto put on his blue coat and ran out the door, 45 minutes later he was in Domino Park, not a sign of Sara. "Seto," said a voice from far away, Seto turned a woman with brown hair and a pair of black sunglasses on, stood in front of him, and she pulled off the glasses, "Sara, what is with the hair?" he asked. "I am wearing a wig. Sorry we had to miss your last birthday, one of the bounty hunters was watching for us at the airport Alec and I had to spend the next few days in planes," she said.
Seto was worried Sara seemed to be almost out of breathe, "Where's Alec? What happened to her, something wrong?" Sara grabbed Seto's arm, moved him to a bench, and made him sit down, "Alec is in danger and you're the only one who can get her out, I need you to find out where Gosaburo has his last bit of money to get these bounty hunters off our butts, Seto they are now aiming for me now," she said.
Sara had worry in her eyes, "I don't want to bury my sister, I had to bury both my parents like you did, and I don't want to put her in the ground too at least not yet or ever," she whispered. Seto had looked for all of Gosaburo's money, he had none, and there was not a project going on at Kaiba Corp that he did not know about, he explained all this to Sara.
"What do you expect me to do Sara?" he asked. Sara looked at him; a sudden thump came behind them. "I want you Seto to take Alec in for a while, the bounty hunters won't go after her while she is with you, I know because I had Pegasus's guards watching your mansion on your birthday party last year, and all the bounty hunters turned and left as soon as Alec entered the mansion.
Gosaburo, I am guessing has given them orders not to touch you or her while you're together," Sara spoke. Seto let out a laugh, "Your joking Sara, I can't take Alec in she told me that she would be putting both myself and Mokuba in danger if she stayed." Sara nodded, "Yes she did say that, but we found out from a source that is on the inside, he says the Gosaburo gave orders that you or Mokuba aren't to be touched."
Seto didn't know what to do he was thinking about it, he really wanted to keep Alec with him, but to put Mokuba in danger too, even if Gosaburo said not to touch him or Mokuba it means that they would have to be with her all the times.
"Seto please you have take Alec in just for a little while, like a few weeks, after that I will know where the goons are and take them out," said Sara. Seto looked at his older cousin who was looking desperate, "Ok Sara, now where is Alec?" he asked.
The bush behind the bench moved, "Where do you think?" said Sara pointing with her head. Alec stood up slowly, "Sorry for spying, but I had to take care of this guy," she said, giving kick to the bounty hunter on the ground next to her feet. Alec had jumped him from behind while Seto and Sara were talking, they were in the tree and the two fell to the ground.
"Alec you look different," said Seto. Alec stood their, she wasn't a skinny little thing that she once was but a little buffer like she had been working out, her hair was black instead of its, normal blue, but then Seto remembered that it was black at his birthday a year ago. Alec thanked Seto for the compliment, and she looked around, "Sara is everything ok?"
Sara had a very fearful look in her face, "Alec I think it is time we split up, I have a feeling that weren't alone," she said. Alec closed her eyes like those that search for their minds to find out what was coming the wind blew around the three of them, "I can feel them," said Alec, "Sara they are after you, get moving I will be fine, here take this and get to Pegasus's limo that is parked at the entrance of the park."
Sara took the black hat her sister offered, and she placed all her hair into it she almost looked like a boy with her hair up, she then walked away very calmly, Alec then shouted, "Red Eyes, run; now they're coming."
Alec grabbed Seto and pulled him down behind the bushes they were sitting on the knocked out bounty hunter. Two men walked up to the bench, "I know they were here, where did that little pike get to," one spoke.
Alec grew angry, she looked at Seto, he knew what to do, and they both dropped under the bushes and were under the bench. The two men were sitting on the bench now, Alec and Seto grabbed the men's legs. "hey, what the…" said one of the men, and with a sudden thump both hit the cement with a thud, Alec and Seto pulled them under the bench and sat up.
The two men were heavy and both Seto and Alec were panting as they finished knocking the two men out, "I think it is time you and I get out of here," said Alec. Seto nodded his head in agreement.
The man that Alec had knocked out of the tree was, waking up, Alec and Seto were standing over him, Seto took the man around the caller, "You listen up your boss has nothing for you, so here is a message for you boss, leave Alec alone and if I see you again I will kill you myself."
Seto raised his fist to knock the man out but Alec grabbed his hand, "Seto allow me." Seto released the man, Alec walked up, "Night, night, big boy," she said waved her hand and kicked the man with her foot.
He was knocked out again, Seto was impressed he never seen Alec so strong and taking a stand before. Seto guessed that Alec had been teaching her self to fight. The two walked to Seto's limo another limo was parked across the street, Alec looked at the window that was half way rolled down she saw a glow of something inside, and she winked at it and got into Seto's limo.
The drive to the Kaiba mansion Seto and Alec did not say a word, they just sat there and looked at each other, Seto was about 6'2" feet tall now he went through a giant growth sprit over the last year. Alec was impressed at how dashing he looked but in a way, she felt that something was bothering him.
Alec reached up and scratched her head, Seto looked at Alec, she had grown, she looked to be pushing about 6 foot almost as tall as him but just a few inches short, he saw that Alec was wearing a wig like Sara was. "Alec, are you going to be wearing that thing the whole time you're staying with me?" Seto asked.
Alec looked at him, "Seto, that guy saw what my hair color is right now I don't think I need this anymore." Alec reached up and pulled off her wig, her hair was white, with a very small tint of blue; Seto could tell that it was lighten by something.
"My hair lightened when I was working in the caves in Egypt. What do you think of it?" Alec asked. Seto like the look in fact, it surprised him that she had not turned it back to its original blue color. "Not bad but I like it better, when your hair was blue, and not so white," he answered.
Alec then pulled out a blue pen comb; she lowered a mirror to look at her hair. Alec took the blue pen comb and began run it through her hair giving it a dark blue streaks. When she was done, her hair looked like it was white and blue highlights. Seto was impressed that she was able to do that in a limo and in so quick of a time, her hair went down to about the mid part of her back, she had let her hair grow out since he said good-bye to her that night on the tree branch.
The limo pulled up to the Kaiba mansion Mokuba was sitting on the steps with a basketball. Seto stepped out of the limo, "Hey big brother, want to play some basketball now and where did you go?" he asked.
Seto looked at his brother, "Not now Mokuba, I have work to do but Alec can play, she doesn't have much to do, play in the indoor court I don't want you two too be outside long," he said. Mokuba smiled as Alec stepped out of the limo, her hair caught the wind she looked like an angel from the way the sun hit her, and much different from what she looked like when she got into the limo.
"Hey Moky, boy you look like you seen a ghost?" she said. Mokuba dropped the basketball on the ground his mouth hung open, "Alec? Is that you?" he said in amazement, Alec nodded. "Yeah it's me Moky the same Alec you saw last year, I am going to be staying with you and Seto for a while hope you don't mind," she smiled.
Mokuba shook his head, "Come on I show you my new room," he said, taking Alec by the hand. The two ran pasted Seto; he was surprised that Alec was willing to bring her self down to Mokuba's level for once.
That night at dinner, Alec and Mokuba could not stop talking, Alec was telling him all about Egypt and how that duel monsters was from an ancient game, the true name she did not know at the time.
There is even a story about how a Mage, (I call them that instead of Priests it sounds better) found a girl with ability to control dragons she could make them appear out of no were, it was a trick she did with her mind.
Seto had, had enough, "Alec quit filling his head with lame brain ideas, that is just Egyptian fairy tales," he then walked out of the room. Alec was surprised, "Well that made him mad didn't it, oh well it is time for you to get to bed Moky, you have school tomorrow don't you?" Mokuba nodded in disappointment. Alec and Mokuba left the table and headed to his room.
Alec told a story about a young prince found his true love after she had thought to be dead; it was an old Egyptian tale about how love can be right under your nose and not know it.
Alec told this story to Mokuba but before she was done, he fell asleep. Alec took some of his blankets and pulled them up to his shoulders. She leaned down and kissed him on the forehead, good night. Seto watched in the doorway, he felt that Alec would make a good mother someday, but never a mother of his children.
Alec walked out of the door into the dark hallway where Seto stood in the darkness; he walked up behind her as she shut the door. Alec felt his hand touch her shoulder, she grabbed and turned him to the ground, "Ouch," Seto said hitting the ground.
Alec felt horrible, "Seto, don't do that you scared the crap out of me," snapped Alec. Seto grabbed his shoulder in pain, "That's ok, I was in the shadows, you did not see me, nice reflexes by the way," he said. Alec offered her hand to help Seto up he took it and she pulled him to his feet.
"Sorry Seto, I should have known better, to think that in your mansion I could be attacked," Alec said as she dusted off Seto. "That's fine, after all where did you learn that?" Seto asked. Alec let out a small laugh, "Well a girl has to take care of herself you know, besides, I learned that move from you. It was back when we were kids at least after Gosaburo had stabbed me, to keep it from happening again," she smiled.
Seto looked at Alec; his shoulder stopped hurting but another pain inside him began to swell up. He never did stop blaming himself for leaving her alone with Gosaburo all those years ago when she was stabbed.
Alec saw that Seto was still feeling bad about it; it was almost six years ago. "I know Seto, your still blaming yourself for what happened," Alec walked up to him, and touched his face. Seto shook his head, "It not that Gosaburo stabbed you Alec it is that you been gone all this time and I can't get this feeling out of my…" Seto did not finish for Alec touched his face.
"I know Seto, I feel it too much stronger then you think," Alec said she then moved away, "I think I better go to bed before either one of us does something were going to regret," she said quickly and nervous.
Seto nodded in agreement, and walked off towards his room, Alec went to her room which was down the hall about four doors down from Seto's which was at the end of the hall. "Good night Seto," she said. He looked back to say "Good night" but she had already slipped into her room and shut the door. Seto walked to his room and fell on his bed, and went to sleep. Alec stayed up for a few moments thinking, then her eyelids felt heavy and she fell asleep.
Present Day
A month later
"Seto, are you ready yet, we are going to miss the plane, SETO" yelled Mokuba through the door. Not a sound came from Kaiba's room and the door was locked, which was unusual because he left it open all the time. Seto walked up behind him, I am ready we can leave any time you want to Mokuba, I have the Blue Eyes flyer, ready we don't need to fly with Tristan, Tea, and Yugi," he said.
Mokuba faced his brother, he was upset, and he wanted to at least, take a normal plane flit somewhere, with his friend. "Seto I want to go with Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey and their plane leave in two hours," the 16 year old whined. Seto knew he was not going to win this argument, "Fine go with them, but I am making sure I put Yugi in charge of keeping an eye on you. I just don't trust anyone on those planes, especially Wheeler," he said.
Mokuba smiled, "I can go, Thanks Seto," he hugged his brother, and ran down the stairs to get in the limo. Mokuba stopped at the door, "Wait how you going to Egypt? Or are you not going at all?" he asked. Seto turned, "I am going but I am taking my jet of course Mokuba."
Mokuba looked at his brother with a glare, "You know you don't have to set Yugi up as my guardian, I am 16 now, Seto, and I can take care of myself." Seto wave his brother off, "Fine, go and hurry or you will miss your flight."
Mokuba was on his way to the airport, when Seto arrived at Kaiba Corp, his cell phone rang, "hello," said Seto answering the phone, it was Yugi on the other end, "Hey Kaiba, thought I let you know your brother is on the plane with me and the others safe and sound." Mokuba could be heard in the back round picking a fight with Joey over who was better at duel monsters.
Yugi continued, "I wanted to make sure with you that it was alright he hang out with us while we are in Egypt for a while also I was wondering where you might be when you get there to meet up with him?" Seto let out a sigh, "its fine with me, that he hangs out with you, and your," Seto cringed as he said this, "friends," sounding nice then finish as his usual tone. "Just make sure he is with Sara by the time I get there which will probably be some time tomorrow afternoon, just keep an eye out for a Blue Eyes White dragon in the sky, let me talk to Mokuba," he said.
Yugi handed Mokuba the phone, "Yeah Seto," he said excited. Seto took a deep breath, "Be careful, and keep an eye on Pegasus while you're out in Egypt we don't need a repeat of last time you were around the slim ball. Oh and have fun Mokuba, I will see you in a few days, bye little brother," he said. Mokuba then said good-bye and hung up the phone.
Seto entered the Kaiba Corp building and went straight to his office. Where he found a surprise visitor, a young woman sat on his desk, her hair was long enough to touch the desk at the ends, and she looked up as he entered the room.
"What are you doing here, Alec?" he spoke not in a completely unhappy tone, but not a totally, happy one as well. Alec moved off his desk, "I came to see if you were still coming to the wedding, if not then let me know right now and I won't waste anymore of your precious time," she snapped.
Seto crossed his arm over his chest, "Yes, of course somebody has to give away your sister to the groom. I am leaving for Egypt tonight in my jet, and do you have a problem with that!" he snapped. Alec smirked, "that is all I needed to know, I am going to be leaving now, and I will see you in Egypt then," she walked passed Seto and headed for the door, he grabbed her arm, and turned her to face him.
Alec had expected it and countered with twisting his own arm. "Owe," he said as she had his arm in a twist, "NEVER EVER touch me Kaiba, I don't belong to you or anyone else, got it, at least not anymore," she snapped and released his arm from hers.
"You haven't changed a bit Alec," said Seto while shaking his arm, "first you come to my mansion now to my office, you want to tell me what is up with you, because you could just asked me that question over the phone," he said.
Alec turned, "On a phone, you would hang up on me, besides I wanted to say good bye to you in person, ok and I …" she started, but then stopped her self from saying anymore, Seto finished her sentence, "you missed me," he laughed finishing Alec's sentence, "You actually missed me."
Alec went red and walked back into Kaiba's office, "yes" she said calmly, "I did miss you, you grew about another inch since I saw you four years ago and I haven't really had any chance to talk to you alone, but you seem like you want to get to work, so I will just leave," she said. She headed for the door again, but Seto shut it, "If you want to talk lets talk," he snapped.
He went to his desk and placed his brief case on it; Alec walked up and sat in the chair in front of it. "What do you want to talk about?" Alec looked him in the eye, "About Sara, I think she is going to be making a mistake by getting married."
Seto raised an eyebrow, "I take it this guy she is going to marry is a loser, and you don't like him?" he said. Alec did a half nod, "In a way yes, he been gripping for the last two years about how hard it is going to be not being with his sister and brother anymore."
Alec felt ridiculous she never spilled out what was going on in her head; she then looked at the ground. Seto moved from his desk over to her, "You are worried more about something other then Sara?"
Alec looked up, "yes, I am not just worried about her, it you, I am worried about, that she…" she started but stopped herself before she confessed anything more. Seto moved in closer to her, Alec took a gulp, "Sorry about what happened a month ago, I should have held my temper and not blurted everything out like I did."
Seto and Alec stared into each other's eyes as they did so many years ago. "You were obviously holding back something from me, and you were right about me becoming Gosaburo, it took Tea and Mokuba to make me realize that too," he confessed.
Seto could not believe he was apologizing to Alec but in a way, he felt responsible for pushing her away four years ago and blaming her for Mokuba being kidnapped by Pegasus. "You were right, I am almost exactly like Gosaburo Kaiba, but I am not going to change, just because I hate the man, even if I share some similarities," he finished.
Alec watch Seto return to his chair behind the desk, "That doesn't make sense Seto, you and I were so close four years ago. You and I almost ran away together and would have gotten married, but if I were not carrying 1/4 of Gosaburo's DNA in my vanes you and I would probably be together right now, happy with something, I know you and I have always wanted," she said.
Seto put his elbows on the desk, "What would you know that I also wanted?" Alec looked at him, "Besides each other, a family," she said to him flatly, "One that isn't broken, you as a Dad, you told me once that you always wanted a kid, but not from me," she said calmly.
Seto sat back in his seat, Alec continued, "Mokuba is your brother, you been raising him like a son, but it isn't the same, to you. I know because you told me, not out of your mouth but in other ways. Also that if I didn't have Gosaburo's bloodline in my body that you would have taken me right their in your hallway four years ago while I was staying with you and Mokuba."
Seto was not surprised that Alec read his body language so well, "Alec I admit that I would have, but that was four years ago, before you handed my brother to Pegasus, and hid the secret of your little dead cousin, Noah from me, and you're the one who left me remember," he reminded her.
Alec looked at the floor again, "I know, I left you, for good reasons, we were under attack. If only you thought I wasn't the niece of Gosaburo Kaiba, you would have married me, and for that I wish was true," she spoke with sorrow in her voice as if she was hiding something.
Seto stood up and looked out the window behind his desk, "I know Alec, I have even found myself wishing that, but the truth is you and I can never be. You said it just now you and I are cousins, even though I was adopted, you are still part of the Kaiba family bloodline and we can't change that," he said in a salmon tone.
Alec stood up and walked over to him, "Why did you kiss me so many times when we were younger, then, why tempt me to fall in love with you?" she asked him. Seto looked over at her, "I was young, and stupid, for even doing that, I loved you once, Alec, I will admit that, but now, I don't, you're a member of the family that is all you are now, nothing more then a reminder of Gosaburo," he said. Alec took a breath, looked at Seto, she wanted to kiss him to make sure what he said was true to test him, but she did not move, Seto felt the same way as Alec did.
"Alec, I think you better go," he said after looking into her eyes for a while. Alec nodded her head and looked at her watch, "Yeah I should or I am going to miss my flight," she said.
Seto turned as Alec walked away, "You don't have a flight to catch that is why you're here also, isn't it?" Alec stopped in her tracks towards the door Seto had read her like a book, "I guess I can't keep anything from you, Seto even now, your still reading me. Yes it is another reason why I am here, and not out on a plane with Mokuba, Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey, I was thinking you could take me in your jet that you got from Kaiba Corp Island," she said.
Seto let out a small laugh, "Alec at times you never cease to amaze me," he smirked at her when he finished. Alec walked back up to Seto, "I can amaze you in more ways then one," she said slowly. Seto raised an eyebrow, "You care to show me then?" he said. Alec looked at him with a sparkle in her eye, "Yeah I can, want and see," she said.
Alec moved away, "Come down to the fighting arena that you mentioned and I will show you," she walked out of the office and shut the door behind her. Seto turned and sat at his desk, he was tempted to take her offer, "What do I have to lose my virginity?" he said in a quiet voice.
He got up and went out the door to catch Alec.
