Chapter 2

Walking Away

Some years later

Alec and Seto were asleep in bed when a loud slamming of bedroom doors came from down the hall. Alec opened one of her eyes to see the Seto was still fast asleep she shook her head when she saw that he had earplugs in his ears. "I thought so, no wonder you didn't say anything to me, last night," said Alec who reached of the closest earplug.

Seto grabbed her hand with his eyes close, "These things don't work when you can feel the vibrations of the doors through the bed," he said, Seto opened his eyes and looked at Alec.

"Well some much for a quiet morning," he yawned and setting up in the bed next to Alec who had the look of exhaustion in her eyes. Alec looked over at him, "I had to deal with this last night your turn to silence the little lambs."

Seto rolled his eyes and tossed his side of the sheet on to Alec, and put on his robe. Seto walked over to the door; Alec got out of bed as well and put her robe on over her black pajamas.

Seto opened the door, a 10 year old boy with short blue and red hair stood in the hall with only his shorts on banging on a door, "Come on Kate let me in, it is my room too," he yelled.

Seto stood in the doorway of his room with his arms folded across his chest, "Andy if you and your sister don't stop this racket, I am going to be grounding both of you for another month," he threatened. Alec stood next to him, "and that goes double for me," said Alec.

Andy turned and faced his upset parents, "Oh morning Mom, Dad, your probably wondering why I am in the hall in just my boxers," said Andy being to look nervous as Seto continued to glare at his son.

Andy pointed at the door, "Kate started it she threw me out into the hall in the middle of the night; I had to sleep in Uncle Mokuba's old room again, I need my uniform for school and Kate won't let me in to get it." Seto uncrossed his arms, Alec stepped forward, "And you have used this story for the millionth time Andrew Atem Kaiba," said Alec.

Andy looked at the floor, "but Mom, she…" he started. Alec spoke up, "Andrew, go to your Uncle's old room and wait there until, I come with your clothes, GO." Alec stomped her foot on the ground and pointed. Andy turned and walked four doors down and went into Mokuba's old room.

Alec and Seto walked to Kate's door, Alec turned to Seto "you or me this time?" asked Alec. Seto motioned to the door, "Well since you dealt with our son I think you should deal with the girl too," he answered. Alec knocked on the door, "Kathleen Tea Kisara Kaiba open this door now!" ordered Alec.

The door unlatched, and opened, Katie stood in her night robe with a sad look on her face she saw Seto and quickly shut the door. Alec looked at Seto, "maybe I should handle this alone, you should go check on the other one," said Alec. Seto nodded and went to another room on that very hallway. Alec knocked on the door again, "Katie you can open the door your father is gone now," she said.

Katie opened the door full "Morning Mom," she said. Alec glared, "Kate why do you have to fight with your brother at 6 in the morning?" asked Alec. Kate looked at the ground, "Andy woke, and you and Dad again, didn't, he, Mom?"

Alec nodded, "Yes and it was the door slamming that woke your father. Kate, why do you and Andy do this every morning, if you two aren't careful you will wake your little sister and then we will have another dilemma on our hands because she does go back to sleep," said Alec.

Kate looked out the door, she saw her father standing in the hall with a four year old by his knees sucking her thumb, Kate moved back and looked at her mom, "sorry Mom, it is just that. Oh why can't I have my own room, I am 10?" snapped Katie. Alec gave a small smile, "Is this why you and your brother are fighting like this at 6 in the morning because you want your own rooms again?" asked Alec.

Kate nodded, "Yeah, I want my own room back, he wants his own room we live in mansion, why can't we have separate rooms again?" asked Kate. Alec put a hand to her forehead "I see your future and I still see you have this room and…" she paused, "… Andy is still your roommate until you two can get along again back when you both were younger," said Alec.

Kate was smiling then went to a frown after the pause, "Drat," she said snapping her fingers. Alec smiled at her daughter, "Nice try, I know you two want your own rooms again but you know what you need to learn to be family again too, before we let you two have separate rooms again, until that time I suggest you share this room with your brother, and remember who built it for you," said Alec.

Kate looked down at the ground then stuck her head out the door, "Sorry Dad," she said.

Seto nodded, and walked over to Mokuba's old room and knocked on the door, Andy opened it; Seto looked at him, "All clear get to your room and get dressed for school," said Seto. Andy ran towards Kate and their room, Katie was standing next to Alec in the hall.

Andy shut the door with a mighty slam in Kate's face; the little girl standing next to Seto started to cry. Katie walked over and took her little sister to her own room, "I will take her Dad, you and Mom go ahead a get so sleep, I will get ready for the day," said Kate feeling bad that she was not getting her way and waking her baby sister.

Seto looked at Alec then back at Katie, "Kat you know when your mother and I are awake that we can't go back to sleep," said Seto. Kate nodded and took her sister to her room four doors down.

Seto looked at Alec, "I thought that went rather well," said Seto. Alec laughed, "Well, you were the one who said since we have two lets try four," said Alec. Seto laughed, "Don't remind me, I remember."

Seto walked over to Alec who was still in the hallway outside of Andy and Katie's bedroom door. Alec let out a sigh, "Seto, you know that our twins were trying to pull a fast one this morning," she sighed. Seto nodded, "Why again did we put them in the same room again?" asked Seto not remembering why.

Alec smiled, "Because you and I wanted them to bond and be like they used to before the door slamming mornings when they were younger back when they were nine," said Alec. Seto nodded, "Oh yeah I remember now, neither Andy nor Kat cleaned there rooms too."

Alec laughed, "Those quiet nights," she paused as if reliving the past then continued, "are gone, oh well come on, time to get ready for work for you. I am still on break for that little one that Katie is taking care of in her bedroom," she said.

Seto raised an eyebrow, "She is four years old can't you take her to work with you yet?" he asked. Alec turned, "Seto, I am the VP of Industrial Illusions and am about to get a very large promotion to CEO of the company that is if I play my cards right, trust me, showing up with a four year old girl will not get me any points but lose some," said Alec grinning in the doorway of their bedroom.

Seto rolled his eyes, "Then I guess you are making me take her to work with me?" he asked. Alec shook her head, "Seto I don't think our little mute daughter is going to enjoy a day at Kaiba Corp watching her daddy yell at people, again," said Alec.

Seto nodded, "Good point I am a pain at work, but at least I don't fire myself," he joked. Alec looked at him, "Get dressed Seto Kaiba before I make you go to work again," threaten Alec in a joking yet sexy tone.

Seto looked at her, "Don't bark orders at me!" he snapped. Alec grinned walked over to Seto and pinched his butt, "I am talking about a different kind of work, blue eyes," said Alec. Seto raised an eyebrow, "The kids are home and awake I don't think so," he said.

Alec frown, "Ever since I had Jenny, you have been avoiding me and it been like you don't want to be here, Seto, why?" asked Alec. Seto began to walk toward his bedroom, "No, I have not," he said. Alec ran in front of him, "Have too, what about last night all you did was get in bed and fall a sleep and the night before that and so on to about three weeks ago come I want to knew why?" said Alec half joking and serious.

Seto walked into the bedroom with Alec close behind, "What is with you Seto, I mean you seem so distant from me lately, actually ever since Jenny didn't start talking," said Alec. Seto turned and kissed Alec on the cheek, "I been busy with things and thinking ok, Alec, you know that, better then anyone," he said.

Seto took off his pajamas and got into his black suit, kissed Alec good-bye and left the room for work it was now 8:00am. Alec got into her house clothes, which consisted of blue jeans and a simple solid orange tee shirt.

Alec opened bedroom door to see her youngest daughter looking up at her, "Morning Jenny, feel like talking today?" she asked the little girl.

The girl shook her head, took her mother's hand and pulled her mother towards her room. Alec was at the entrance of the little girl's room when she saw pictures of painted dragons and magicians from duel monsters all over the floor.

Alec bent down and picked up one of the dry ones, "Jen did you do these?" she asked her youngest daughter. The little girl smiled and nodded her head. "Nice, aren't they Mom?" said Andy from behind Alec and Jenny.

Alec turned, Andy stood in his blue school uniform, with his red and blue hair neatly brushed back behind his ears, "Jenny did a good job on these, but you need to get down stairs before you father leaves, for work and you have to walk," said Alec.

Katie then ran down the hall at lighting speed, her brown and black hair whooshed by Andy. Andy stood in the hall with his mother, "Andy come on, Bye Mom," said Kate. Andy looked at his watch, "Got to go bye mom," he kissed his mom on the cheek good-bye and ran down the hall after Kate, "HEY WAIT UP YOU!"

Alec smiled, "That your siblings for you, Jenny they are just in a hurry to get somewhere," she sighed. Jenny smiled and sat on her knees she then took a picture that was on the floor and handed it to Alec, it was still wet but Alec held it gently in her hands.

The picture was Alec, Andy, Kate, and Jenny; however, Seto was not it the picture at all. Alec looked at Jenny then at the paper, "Jen your missing some one, your missing your father," said Alec.

Jenny shook her head no, Alec lowered her eyebrows, "Yes you did you forgot your father," she said holding out the picture to her daughter. Jenny bent down and pulled another picture, Alec shocked by it, her mouth dropped. "Jenny you don't think this would really happen? Do you?" she asked her young daughter.

The picture was Seto walking out the door; Alec was holding Jenny, Andy and Kate who were crying, they all appeared sad except Seto who seemed to be moving away from the picture with anger in his face and eyes in very good detail.

The door shut, Andy and Kate heard in the entrance hall talking as they tried to blame who missed Dad first, Alec picked up Jenny and ran down stairs.

Andy and Kate stood with their mouths open and Seto was speeding off in his car from the open front door. Alec looked at Jenny; the picture came to mind, they were all standing in the same places that Jenny had drawn them, except Seto was leaving in a car. Alec put Jenny down and ran to Seto's home office.

Alec found a note on the desk it read, "Take the kids to school you and I need to talk when I get back, sincerely Seto Kaiba," Alec read the note, she felt worried, after putting the note down.

Andy walked in behind Alec who stood silent, "Mom, are you alright, you looked pretty upset down stairs?" he asked. Alec turned and faced her son, her eye full of tears she was quietly crying, Andy hugged his mother, "Don't worry Mom," said Andy, he looked out the office window, he saw his father driving down the street at full speed out of the long driveway.

Alec took Andy and Katie to school at Domino elementary and left them with their teacher Mrs. Tea Muto. (Yes Tea as in Yugi's wife and Alec's sister in law)

Alec looked like a wreck when see dropped the twins off, Tea saw this right away. "Alec, are you ok?" she asked. Alec nodded, "Yeah, Tea just peachy got to go I have Jenny in the car still, and I have to get back to it talk to you later," said Alec in a rush. Tea nodded and said good-bye to Alec and took the two 10 year olds into the classroom.

Jenny was drawing another picture again in the back seat of the car in her car seat; Alec got in the driver seat and turned towards her youngest "Want to go see Daddy at work?" Alec asked. Jenny lifted her head from drawing and gave very large nod as if she was head banging; Alec laughed and started the car and drove off to Kaiba Corp.

Few hours later

Alec was sitting in Seto's office while Jenny was sitting on one of the couches continuing to work on her drawing. Seto came in from a meeting he was surprised to see Alec sitting in his chair with her legs crossed, and Jenny sitting drawing pictures with her markers on his couch.

"Alec, what are you doing here?" he asked as he stepped into the room. Alec smiled, "You said we need to talk so let's talk," she said.

Seto turned his head in frustration, "Not in front of any of the kids though Alec," he snapped. Alec stood up, "Fine we will talk tonight when you get in, Seto I am worried about you," said Alec.

Jenny looked at her mother then at her father, she could feel that there was anger growing inside them both. Alec left taking Jenny by the hand, "I don't expect you late then Seto, if you and I are going to talk tonight," said Alec as she took Jenny in to her arms and walked down the hall.

That night

Alec sat up in the bed looking at the bedroom door, waiting for Seto, Jenny was fast asleep in her own bed down the hall, and Katie and Andy deep into sleep as well. Seto came in around midnight, which his shirt pulled out and unbuttoned, and hair a mess, as if he had been ringing his hands trough it all day.

Seto entered his bedroom and Alec turned on the light, she sat at the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, "We need to talk now!" she snapped.

Seto rolled his eyes, "Alec not now I have had a long day and I want to get some sleep," he said. Alec stood up and looked at Seto's eyes; to her they had lost that sense of trust that they once held; his truths were lies to her, and all because of his shirt with a little Seto of red. "You haven't noticed a lot lately," said Alec. Seto looked at her bewilder, "Alec what are you talking about?" he asked.

Alec turned walked over to the hamper and pulled out one of Seto's shirts it, a rose-colored Seto of lipstick on the collar that appeared to been wiped off with a wet cloth. Seto looked at her, "That's yours Alec," he said.

Alec shook her head, and pointed to the sets of lipsticks on the bed none, which matched the shirts, "Seto, I know about the girl you been seeing at that club after work," she said in an angry tone.

Seto rolled his eyes, "Alec there is nothing going on between me and Jessie, she is just a contact for a surprise that I am planning that's all," he said. Alec shook her head at Seto, "Oh Seto how little you know of me. I found out that you and she spent the night together a few months ago after I had my little accident at work, which is pretty funny how I found that out through Duke and Mokuba," snapped Alec.

Seto looked down, "I made a mistake that night, I didn't do anything with her ok, I got drunk and passed out on the back room, couch and that is all I remember," he said. Alec shook her head and moved over to the remote control on her side of the bed, and turned on the TV and VCR, Alec pressed play and a video type began to play.

Seto mouth dropped, "How did you get this?" he snapped. Alec glared, "I had a nice conversation with Jessie this afternoon after I left your office, as you can see Seto you cheated on me with her while I was in the hospital," snapped Alec half way to tears.

Seto looked at the TV, which showed him kissing Jessie and holding her close, neither of them with closes on each other. Seto shook his head, "Alec that isn't me I swear," he said.

Alec jump up and pause the TV, well really this came back from the lab at Industrial Illusions, I wanted to make sure that this type wasn't a copy of some computer animated images. The results from the computer labs at Industrial Illusions say that this tape is 100 original and hasn't been tapered with," snapped Alec holding the tape.

Seto shook his head and looked down at the floor, "Ok, I was stupid and I made a mistake," he said. Alec shook her head, "Seto you made more then a stupid mistake. When were you going to tell me, I am your freaking wife, who has given you three children, been through hell and back for you," she snapped.

Seto looked at Alec, "I was going to tell you, but I just didn't know when would be a good time I was going to tell you tonight that is why I didn't want the kids around when we discussed it," said Seto.

Alec was feeling weak in the knees she was about to fall for Seto gaze of innocents that worked so well in the past. Seto walked up close to her and held her in his arms, "I was drunk and drugged that night, you know that, Duke and Mokuba told you that didn't they," he asked.

Alec got a grip on herself, "I know you were drugged Seto but you have enough sense, when to keep you clothes on, and to keep from going back," she they pulled away from him.

"Seto I am not going to tolerate this kind of behavior, you're to stay faithful to me but as I can tell you haven't been. I can also see the lipstick of Jessie on your shirt, smart move of trying to get off," snapped Alec.

Seto walked up to Alec, "So, what are you going to do about it? You say that because of one offense that I not worth keeping around. How many times did you let me down Alec, think about it," asked Seto near yelling.

Alec looked at the wall in front of her, "No Seto, the incident in the video wasn't your first time it was your fourth time, look at the date at the bottom of the screen that was six months ago. When you said you and I would be going away for a romantic weekend, and we could not go because I got hurt at work. I know what you did all day after you found out that I wasn't going to be there with you," snapped Alec.

Alec turned this was going to be hard for her to say, "I am leaving Seto, Jenny, Andrew, and Kate are coming with me. We will be at my brother's place until you either shape up or I ship out I don't want to do this but you have left me no choice," said Alec. Seto's eyes widened, "Alec, NO!"

Alec turned, "I am sorry Seto," Seto looked at the ground then at Alec. "I choose you, didn't I? 13 years ago or was it all a lie to you?" he asked.

Alec looked at him, "I don't know anymore Seto, I just don't know! Because I don't know how long you been doing this to me," she said. Alec walked to the door Seto grabbed her arm, "Alec, nothing happened between myself and Jessie, tonight I was calling it off. I am telling you the truth now, look, ok that type has someone on it that looks like me but I know it isn't, if you don't believe me then ask your brother where I was after all he was in the car with me when you were at the hospital after the lab accident," he said.

Alec turned, "I asked Yugi about it, Seto he said you went into the club and an hour later you came out with your clothes in mess, now you tell me what I am suppose to believe," said Alec "My brother or you?" she said, trying to hold back her tears, but she let a few get away.

Seto pulled her close, "Alec, I promised something to you years ago remember that was I would never ever not in a million years hurt you, or let you down" he said. Alec tried to fight but gave up soon Seto's arms wrapped around her upper body. He was just too strong for Alec to fight his trap, in his arms she soon gave in and hugged him but then fought him again.

Seto held her as she tried to get away from him, "don't you go back on your promise Alec, for the rest of your life," he said. Alec stopped struggling she remembered her promise she made at thousand times over, back in Egypt and 5000 years ago back when she was afraid that she would die, she said she would never leave Seto in life or death.

Alec looked in to Seto's deep blue eyes she could read that he was sorry for what he did to her, but Alec could see other things inside them lust for someone else; him with another woman was one of them. Alec pushed as hard as she could, "No Seto, you're the one who broke your promise, to love me and only me as your wife, don't turn this on my promises argument," she snapped at him.

Seto rolled his eyes as he sat on the floor, "Fine if you leave through that door, and don't expect me to take you back, though," he said. Alec walked towards the door, and opened it as she was about to step out, but she hesitated, she stood there ready to go but did nothing.

Seto walk behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. Alec closed her eyes; even if Seto had screwed up big time, Alec still loved Seto deep down he knew that she did know. Seto leaned down by her ear, "I know you don't want to leave, and hid out at Yugi's place," he said. Alec turned, "Oh Seto," she said hugging him as hard as she could tears rolled down her face.

Seto pulled Alec into the room and shut the door, down the hall Jenny sat with her door cracked, and listening to the conversation her parents were having, Andy and Katie were with her listening as well in there room.

Andy turned to Katie, "Mom almost did it, she almost left Dad just now," he said. Katie nodded, "Yeah but you know what was on that tape as well as I do, that was dad on it, wasn't it?" she asked not fully knowing.

Jenny walked out of her room and went into her older brother and sister's room. Jenny pulled out the one of the pictures that she had shown her mother earlier that day and handed it to Katie and Andy, both were surprised to see her out of bed.

Katie looked at the picture with her flashlight, "Jenny dad isn't going to leave us, Mom is taking us away from dad not the other way around of Dad leaving," said Kate. Jenny shook her head and pointed to her father in the picture, a tear ran down her face, she knew it to be true.

Katie picked up her four-year-old sister and placed her on her lap; "Jen, dad isn't going to leave us," she said, "I hope!" looking at Andy worried.

They heard their parents' bedroom door open again, Alec knocked on the door, the three children looked at their mother, "Kids go back to bed, and we aren't going any where tonight," said Alec stepping in to the room, "Your father and I have made peace for now."

Katie moved Jenny off her lap and she ran to her room, Katie looked at her mother, "mom, why couldn't you do it?" asked Andy. Alec looked at the ground and back up at her children, "because I love your father and he isn't perfect, no one is he reminded me of that, besides I love him too much not to try and work this out. He has given me chances why not for him," said Alec.

Andy nodded, "ok Mom," he got up and hugged his mother, Katie soon did the same, Jenny had already back in her room asleep. Alec took her son and daughter and gave them great big hugs, "Ok now, you two off to bed you have to get up for school in seven hours," said Alec.

The two 10 year olds went to bed, they said good night to their dad as walked behind Alec as she was shutting the door. Alec walked over to Jenny's room, looked at the little sleeping 4 year old and kissed her on the forehead, as she pulled the covers over her.

Seto stood in the door way and watched Alec tuck the little girl in, and he walked over to the bedroom which the twins were. Seto knocked on the door; he heard no answer, Seto then opened it. Andy was fast asleep but Katie was wide-awake looking at her dad with her back against the wall.

"Kat, you should be asleep," he whispered. Katie looked at her father, "Dad," she said "did you really cheat on Mother?" she asked. Seto saw in the dim light of the room that Katie was crying, he walked in and sat next to her giving her a small hug, "Kat that is a grown up thing to worry about. Look I love your mother more then anything, I know because I married her, and we had you, Andy, and Jenny, if that doesn't say I love her then what does?" he asked.

Katie looked at Seto, "Dad is Mom really going to take us away from you?" she asked. Seto let out a sigh, "No Kat, she won't be taking you kids away from me," he said, as he looked away from his daughter, thought about some thing then came to him, he looked back at Katie who had now fallen asleep.

Seto laid her in the bed, pulled one of the blankets over his daughter shoulders, and kissed her on the forehead good night. Alec stood in the hall with her arms folded over her chest; she listened to the whole conversation then quietly walked back to her bedroom.

Seto left the room a few moments later after putting a blanket on to Andy and then closed the door. Seto saw a light was on in his bedroom; he walked in and saw Alec reading a book in hand. Seto took off his mess of clothes and threw them in the hamper he kept his boxers on and slid into bed.

Alec glared with her eyes from the book over at Seto; Alec then closed the book and laid it on the bed stand next to the bed, and turned off the light. Alec lay on her side while Seto lay on his back; neither of them was looking at each other.

Seto rolled to his side and put his hand on Alec's bare shoulder, she did not move at first by it, being there but he soon found out why. He turned her to lie on her back she had been crying again.

Seto moved in closer to her, "Alec stop crying you don't need too, and look if it makes you feel better, I won't go to work tomorrow, I will stay home with you." Alec stopped crying and sat up. "Seto why, you need to say home from work look, what's done is done right, it is in the past; two things we can do now, learn or run from it. You got caught, so staying home isn't going to help you right now," said Alec.

Seto rolled his eyes, "then what will make it up to you?" he asked. Alec shook her head, "Seto, you need to earn back your trust with me again, you cheated on me, and I know I am going to regret saying this but I guess I didn't make you happy, at least not anymore," she said. Seto looked at Alec, "No, that isn't it, Alec, you make me happy that your mine everyday," he said.

Alec glared, "Then why did you cheat on me Seto?" she asked. Seto sighed, "Because you have been acting as if you were off limits to me lately ever since Jenny was born," he said. Alec shook her head, "That doesn't give you the right to cheat on me, look I am forgave you for this, but please Seto just don't do it anymore ok," said Alec.

Seto smiled, "Fine I will come home from now on, so that I am not tempted to cheat on you, again," he, then turned on his side and looked away from Alec.

"WHAT!" snapped Alec, Seto turned and faced her. "Alec I knew this would up set you but, Jessie and I used to be close, and no one knew about it, and on my 18th birthday she and I, had sex, ok," Seto admitted.

Alec eyes opened wide, "Seto!" he turned away from her again, "that is probably me on that tape, now that I think about it, anyways," he said.

Alec turned away now they both had their backs to each other, Seto was still talking, "Look I should have told you a long time ago, but there was the accident with our first baby, then your break down, the trip to Egypt 5000 years ago, and then the kids. Alec turned on her side to face Seto's back, "Seto why didn't you just tell me?" she asked.

Seto let out a fake snore but Alec thought it was real, Alec rolled her eyes, "Yeah thought so, you big asshole fall asleep, see if I care." Alec rolled back to her side and went to sleep, Seto opened his left eye he could hear Alec sobbing as she slept, he then tried to get some sleep but his head was full of thoughts, 'why did not I tell her sooner?' his mind thought Seto soon felt sleep coming he fought it off; he slowly got out of bed and headed for his office.

Jenny heard a noise in the office below her a few hours later she thought she should investigate. She quietly walked down the stairs to the second floor to her father's office where she heard him typing away at his computer in the light of his office lamp. Jenny walked in to the office rubbing her eyes in the light; Seto looked up from his lab top and saw Jenny.

"Jenny what are you doing up?" he asked seeing the little brown hair girl. Jenny walked over to her father and placed her hand on his leg, "Don't go Daddy!" she spoke softly in a young innocent voice.

Seto looked at his daughter this was the first time she had ever talked to him or anyone for that matter. Seto pulled his daughter into his lap, "I don't think I have a choice, Jen, I have to follow my head on this one. It's been bugging me to leave your mother or live with this decision I made of not telling her along time ago," said Seto.

Jenny hugged Seto hard, "Daddy, don't you love me, Katie, and Brother Andy?" she asked. Seto almost said "no" as if something was controlling him to, but he bit his lip, he wanted to say "yes," like he felt, but at that moment, he did not know anymore for it was as if he was being controlled.

"Honestly Jenny, I don't know anymore, me leaving is the only opinion any of us have right now," said Seto hugging his daughter. Jenny began to cry, "So you want to leave me?" she asked.

Seto looked at his daughter, she looked so much like him; her hair was brown her eyes blue and her words as strong as his, but there was so much of Alec he could see as well, "Jen, I will come back I promise, it is just that your mom and I need space, for a while," he said.

Jenny looked down at the ground, "I love you no matter what you did in the past Daddy," she said then looking up at him. Seto wanted to say something but was choking up he did not want to leave his youngest daughter like this, but he did not want to take her with him either, the thought of Alec would began to haunt him as soon as she would grow up.

Seto set Jenny down and turned back to his computer to finish typing on it. When Seto stood up from typing, he felt something attached to his leg he looked down and saw brown hair along with a pair of legs and arms wrapped around his leg.

Seto lifted his long leg and looked at the attached child; Jenny smiled up at him when he could not lift it any higher. "Jenny this isn't funny, let go," he ordered.

Jenny shook her head, Seto grew angrier he soon discovered what was holding him down it was not just Jenny but also his own chair.

Seto was enraged, "Jenny, untie me from my chair right now." Jenny giggled, Seto thought to her this was a game, in away it was a game; the objective was to keep her father from leaving.

Seto rolled his eyes and bent down to pick the rope off his leg along with Jenny. Jenny squeezed as hard as she could but it was not enough.

Seto had managed to get Jenny off by tickling her to the point which she let go, which at that time he also freed his leg from the chair. Jenny kicked and squealed, "Dad!" Seto placed Jenny in the chair with the rope that she had used to tie his leg up, "Daddy!" she screamed.

Seto walked towards the door, Jenny began to cry louder, he walk over to her placing his hand on her mouth, "Jenny if you don't be quiet your going to wake everyone," he said. Jenny bit Seto hand, "My point is too," she said once her mouth was free. Seto gripped his hand in pain he raised it to hit her but stopped right at her head just above a few of her hairs above her young face.

Jenny had closed her eyes tight for the blow but nothing happened, Seto had stopped cementers from her head. Jenny opened an eye and looked at her father who was breathing hard from his anger he did not know why he was about to hurt her but he was going to until he felt he just had to get going.

Seto moved his hand, "I am not going to be Gosaburo and hit anyone I care about, never," he said. Seto turned and walked out the door, Jenny jumped from the chair and ran after him "Dad!" she said running after him keeping her voice low.

Seto was almost out the door when she spoke again, "Daddy if you leave I will never talk ever again, I will make sure of it," she threatened. Seto turned, "Take care Jen," he said opening the door.

Seto stepped towards the slowly lighting morning, Jenny ran towards him but he pushed her back, "Jenny stay with your mother, got it!" he barked. Jenny who was now on the ground got up and ran to Seto again, she grabbed his leg again this time she would not move even if he did tickle her, "No Daddy I won't let you, leave me and brother and sister," she said.

Seto picked up the little girl by the back of the neck with some of her tee shirt, "Go back to Alec, Jenny now!" Jenny shook her head no. Seto then threw her into the mansion, just then Katie and Andy ran down the stairs just in time to catch Jenny as she flew at them.

"Stay with your mother all three of you!" Seto barked walking outside. Katie held the crying Jenny in her arms, Andy was about to move and tackle his dad but Katie grabbed his arm, "NO Andy let him go!" she said.

Andy turned and faced his twin sister, "What you're going to let our Dad just walk out on us like that? NO way Kate NEVER!" he snapped. As Andy moved his sister's hand from his arm, Kate could not fight Andy's arm anymore, she was using most of her strength to support Jenny who was crying on her shoulder holding tight.

Jenny spoke as Seto stood there on the porch of the mansion facing the raising sun with his back to his children; with his eye closed, he took a step forward. Jenny cried out, "Daddy, don't go, PLEASE!" Seto turned the four year old was running towards him she managed to jump out of Kate's arms, "Daddy!" she cried. Seto took another step, "Go to your sister Jenny, NOW!"

Katie ran and caught Jenny, who cried out to her father again, "DADDY, COME BACK!" she tried to get free from her sister grip but then she saw it was not her sister's but her mother's grip around her.

"Let him leave Jenny," said Alec who paused holding her, "Let the bastard leave, this is his choice to make, if he wants to live as a man who left his family for some other woman let him go!"

Seto turned, "I am not leaving for Jessie I leaving because of you, Alexandra!" Alec looked at him in shock, Seto spoke again, "I am doing what you should have done, you get everything, ok, now let me be alone, like it should have been 20 years ago before you came back to me."

Seto then walked away and got into his car, "I am not coming back Alec, keep the rug rats, I don't want them," he yelled. Katie and Andy ran to their mother's side as Jenny fought to get free again, Seto started up the car.

Jenny pulled free from her mother's grip, and ran for the car, Seto saw the girl and revved the engine, stuck his head out the window, and shouted, "Jenny go back to your mother NOW!"

Jenny stopped, "I won't talk until you and Mom are together again you got that. DO you hear me, DAD, I am not going to speak or anything, you and no one else will ever hear my voice again if you leave," she shouted.

Seto closed his eyes, Jenny voice was an angelic voice to him and she was about to lock it away, he thought would be a crime, he knew of Jenny's endurance she had his blood after all, she would keep it.

Seto put the car into first gear and sped out of the driveway, with Andy and Katie running with Jenny after him. Alec didn't move from the door, he didn't call her bluff, she wasn't angry at him for cheating anymore she put her head against the door frame and looked at the sky as she slid down to the floor, crying.

The sun rose in the distance, Jenny on her knees in her pajamas crying in the driveway, Katie was trying to move her sister but found that she could not move to help her sister cope with this. Alec sat on the floor on the doorway crying her eyes out, her face was in her knees, Katie and Andy walked up their mother who was still sobbing. Jenny walked up and hugged her mother; Alec took her smallest daughter and hugged her back.

The roar of Seto car engine was heard an hour later past both Kaiba Corp building and Yugi's game shop, when Yugi opened the shop he found a note addressed to him from Seto, he took it in and did not tell anyone he got it.

Mokuba and Yamu were enjoying their morning breakfast when Seto banged on their door at their beach house that Alec and Seto had gotten them for a wedding gift.

Yamu answered and saw a very distressed and upset Kaiba; Mokuba told Seto to sit down in the house before anyone saw him as messed up as he was. Seto entered in the house laid down on the couch in the living room and began silently sobbing at his decision.

Told you all there was a twist to this story.
