A walk in the woods.

Seto slammed the door shut, and made his way out to the woods. It always calmed him to walk there. He sighed, wishing that he could be this tranquil by sitting in his office. Suddenly sensing something was amiss, he spun around. He sensed someone was behind him and knew he was being followed, but he couldn't see the person following him he continued. Seto began to walk again, this time listening to the sound of the person who was following him. The man was stealthy, stepping so lightly that his feet were soundless, almost an impossible feat, seeing as the whole forest floor was covered with crisp, brown leaves. The man was almost impossible to detect, only his light breathing was discernable, and even from that Seto eas not able to discern the follower's position. Seto started to walk faster, hoping the tracker would falter and give away his position. However, Seto's hopes were dashed, the man did not make a single false step, although his breathing rate increased, giving Seto a reason to think the man was at least matching his speed. Seto broke into a run, and although he could tell the man was getting closer every second, Seto was not in the least bit frightened. He knew at this speed, the person following him had two choices, to continue at a fast walk and fall behink, or match his speed, and risk the high chance of stepping on a twig or leaf. Seto heard the man's breathing rate increase, and he knew the man was going in for the kill. Seto found himself feeling the first waves of panic course through him as he put on a final burst of speed. The man had to falter! There was no way, at this speed…

Suddenly, he heard it. A twig cracked to the left of him. Seto turned just as the person jumped out of the bushes at him. Seto put out his arms to catch the attacker.

"Mokuba," Seto said with a smile, catching his younger brother in his arms, "you almost got me that time."

Mokuba squirmed out of Seto's arms. He put on a pouty face and said, "You always catch me! It's not fair!"

Seto ruffled Mokuba's hair. "If it weren't for that last twig, you would have gotten me."

Mokuba looked up hopefully. "Really?" he asked.

"Really." Seto said, picking Mokuba up on his shoulders and carrying him back to the house, "Next time, I won't have a chance."


Some fluff… dedicated to the people who picked me up when I was down, and supported me on my sabbatical. I'm only back temporarily, for Sspring Break, but my fics are my #1 priority.

Special thanks to:
