I'm Back: Chapter 7
Falling for Her
Cylina waved to Matt as he drove off, then climbed the steps to the front of Kaiba's mansion. Punching in the code to unlock the door, she stepped in and surveyed her surroundings. This house looks like a completely different place in the dark.'She shut and locked the door, then walked softly to the stairs. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Kaiba's voice behind her.
"You've got to be the most naive person I've ever met." She spun around to see him standing in the dark corner. She couldn't see his face very well, but she could feel the weight of his stare.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" she asked, trying to hide her shock at his being there.
"It means that going on a date with someone you barely know when you're being hunted down by a greedy madman who wants your head is an extremely stupid thing to do." He walked out of the darkness, arms folded; and stopped in front of her, the moonlight streaming in through the tall windows illuminated his face.
"Matt happens to be a very nice guy, we have alot in common." She folded her arms and tried to ignore the glow in his eyes. I've never seen him in this light before, he looks . . . different.
"And it doesn't bother you at all that he just happens to be an American who just happens to be the son of some prominent business owner? He could be Anderson's son for all you know." he replied, just noticing how much the moonlight made her skin glow. He quickly took his eyes off her, mentally punching himself for staring like that.
"The U.S. is a large country, it's not an unlikely coinsidence. How did you know that his father owned a company?" She asked with a hint of suspition. Why was he looking at me like that?
"I hear the gossip going around school, even though no one means for me to. I intend to do some digging on this guy tomorrow."
"No, don't! You can't, he'll think I don't trust him!" she practically squealed.
"You shouldn't! You know nothing about him!" Seto was exasperated.
"He has given me no reason not to trust him, Seto Kaiba."
"Has he given you a reason to trust him?"
"He took me out and brought me back safely. If he was going to do anything, he had an ample amount of time to do it." Kaiba's eyes were on her again, he was making her nevous. I have to put an end to this. "He's done nothing for you to be suspicious of so just forget about it." she blurted out. "Good night." she turned and briskly walked up the stairs. He didn't say anything, but she could still feel his stare on her back until she turned the corner on the second floor. What just happened! butterflies filled her stomache. Was he . . . checking me out? No. Of course not! This is Seto Kaiba, the only things he checks out are his duel disk prototypes or things like that. She slowed her walk. "Then why was he was looking at me like that?" she mumbled. Ignoring the thoughts that suddenly filled her head, she picked up her pace and didn't slow until she was safely inside her room.
It took Seto a few seconds to realize Cylina had left, and then self-control to keep from following her. Not quite comprehending what just happened, he went up the stairs; and then down the hall the opposite way Cylina had gone. What the heck's going on! This has never happened to me. I've always been the calm, cool one, in control of my thought and actions at all times. At ALL times! How is it possible then that a girl can make me crack by simply standing in the stupid moonlight! He walked into his room and glanced at the clock. It's late, that's why. I'm tired, and I'm not thinking straight. 'He knew that was a lie, he'd stayed up much later than this countless nights before. The fact that he was lieing to himself only ticked him more. Calm down, Kaiba! This is simple. Just keep eye-contact next time. He didn't want to, but somehow he found himself mumbling, "Easier said than done."
Matt clicked the button on his key chain, locking his car, and slowly walked across the parkinglot toward the hotel. Due to a "disagreement" his father had had with his landlord, Matt had been forced to tak up residence in this hotel for the time being. He hadn't noticed the name yet, and didn't really care. His father handled all that. The building's massive size, towering height, and extravagant lighting was enough to astonish anyone. Even Matt, though he was used to the finer things, but for once he didn't notice. He walked hands in pockets, head down, and forhead creased. 'That didn't go right.', he thought, biting his bottom lip. 'I was supposed to charm her. To attract her. Not the other way around.' He tripped and barely caught himself before falling head-first into the large water fountain that had somehow leaped from across the parkinglot, to right in front of him. He stood up and brushed himself off. While ringing out his wet sleeve, he heard muffled noises coming from inside the hotel and looked up to see some of the staff peering through the windows out at him. Some of their heads were thrown back, some of them slapped their knees, but all of them had wide open mouths filled(he was sure) with laughter. Matt grimaced, furious for making a fool of himself in front of them. They must have thought the look was meant for them because they stopped laughing, put their haeds down, and hurriedly went about their business. Straightening his shirt, he stomped into the lobby and onto the elevator. His suite was on the top floor, he loved being on the top floor. Didn't matter if the top floor was number 45 or 3, he loved being on top. Once he had left the lobby behind, his thoughts turned back to Cylina. This had never happened to him before. He had always been known as a "lady's man" by his friends, but he had never actually felt this way about anyone. Why did it have to be Cylina? Why couldn't it be someone else, someone they weren't trying to kill. He was disgusted.
Ok, I know that was kinda abrupt. This wasn't how I was planning the chapter to go, but I found some things in the original that didn't agree with the rest of my story so I had to change it at the last minute.Mainly in the last paragraph. Hope I didn't bore you. Please review!
Alrighty-then! Now time to respond to review! WOW, I can't believe I haven't done this since Easter! o.O TOO LONG!

Streamstrider- It's up, Holly! It's finally up! Now you can stop threatening me. Hahahaha!
Dragon Princess- Hey ,Laura. Really hope you enjoyed it!
Lovely Red Rose- I totally agree with you on the flirting thing. If I were intrested in a guy, I would want to know who he really is, not who he wants me to think he is. I hate those skirts! They look so stupid! I'm going toa art camp in Florida this summer, and we have to wear skirts! You get to choose which ones you wear, though, and they have to be below the knees. I'm not really worried about that, it's just that I would really rather where shorts in the middle of summer in FLORIDA! Oh well. Don't worry, Cylina wasn't wearing anything too skimpy on the date, but if you remember, she went shopping with Tea. rolls eyes
Person X- Don't take Matt at face value . . . or Kaiba for that matter. LOL! -
