Ok, I'll shut up now, enjoy chapter 14!
Chapter 14: Finding Love in all the right places
Yami and Seto where still staring at the spot where Shadi had vanished from. Their thoughts were shattered by a light roar from Kaylana. When Seto looked at the dragon she reminded him of Joey which reminded him of Shizuka. He turned to Yami, "Yami, I just realized Shizuka is still ..."
Yami seemed to understand what his high priest was getting at and nodded, "You're right, we should be heading back, anyway." he turned to face Kaylana, "Are you ready to come with us?"
The red eyes black dragon nodded, "Yes very much so, Yami. I am more than ready."
"Very well then," Yami and Seto both took a hold of one of Kaylana's wings and summoned their power. In seconds the white aura died down and the three of them found themselves back in the palace, "Kaylana, we need you to keep quiet for a little while, all right?" Yami turned to Seto, but found he was already heading towards the cushion pile. He looked closer and saw Shizuka laying next to her brother with tears streaming down her face.
Seto carefully approached the sobbing young woman and gently place a hand upon her bare shoulder, "Hey, are you all right?" he mentally smacked himself in the face once again, 'Idiot, of course she isn't all right!' Before he even knew what was happening, Seto found Shizuka in his arms. Controlled by pure instinct, he wrapped his arms around her, "Hey, its ok."
Shizuka sniffled, and shook her head, "No, it's not ok! I lost my brother forever! I..." she bit her lip before continuing, "I know you're brother is in danger as well, but...but Jonouchi is all I have in this world. Without him I have no reason to live. Jonouchi is everything to me. He's more than my big brother, he's my best friend and I love him." she stopped as a few sobs got caught in her throat, "But now, I'll never know the meaning of love again."
Seto listened very carefully before gently pulling Shizuka away from his arms, "Listen to me Shizuka, that is not true. You do have a reason to live. Because if you die, then..." he stopped not caring about his pride or his job anymore, "Then I wouldn't have a reason to live. I've already lost my mother, father and my only brother." Seto placed a hand under Shizuka's chin and tilted her head up to her eyes were meeting his, "Please don't leave me too." for the first time in a long time, there were actual tears building up in the high priest's sapphire blue eyes but he didn't bother to brush them away, "I-"
He was cut off by the contact of Shizuka's lips upon his own. Shizuka kissed Seto gently and wrapped her arms about his neck. After what seemed like hours, but was only seconds, she slowly pulled away and gazed straight into Seto's eyes, "I love you." she lightly whispered.
Seto smiled and pulled Shizuka into his arms. Somehow he wasn't surprised at how well she fit within his embrace. He gently stroked her long chestnut hair and lightly kissed the top of her head, "I love you, too Shizuka." he whispered just as lightly as she had done, "I love you so much."
On the other side of the room, Yami and Kaylana smiled, "I've been wondering how long it was going to take him to say that to someone else besides Mokuba. You see Kaylana, that girl is the younger sister of your master. They have bond like I have never seen. And the very spirit of the bond is their love for one another. I-" Yami stopped, "Wait a minute!" he took off towards Seto and Shizuka and literally crashed into them, "Seto, I figured it out! I know how to get them back!"
Akkadia: pops up from out of the water Ok, worst place in the world to end I know but...
