Chapter 11

The Thin Line has been Crossed

Alexandra awoke in the morning to the smell of food coming from the kitchen. Getting out of bed, she walked in to the kitchen passed the stairs to see Seto Kaiba making breakfast in black pants and black turtleneck. "You cooked breakfast for us?" she asked, looking at Kaiba puzzled.

Seto laughed slightly, "No, I made breakfast for me," he said pointing the spatula at himself. Alec chuckled slightly she wasn't about to show him that she was hungry for any of his cooking anyways even though it smelled really good when she woke up however the one making the food had turn the good smell into rotten eggs. "Fine, wasn't hungry for what ever poison you made, anyways," she said taking an apple from the dish that sat on the table and biting.

Kaiba put his hands at his side, "Poison? You never tasted my cooking before have you?" he asked in sarcastic tone. Alec smirked, "No, but I heard Mokuba's horror stories, enough said," she laughed.

Seto shook his head, "Mokuba exaggerates those in an evil way and you know it. I never once made a bad meal except that one time with tofu, hey don't you laugh at me," he growled, seeing Alec laugh her head off at him about tofu. "I was kidding, he actually said you were a good cook, but like you said he exaggerates your cooking as evil, too much, besides, why take food from an animal? I am not hungry for your cooking," she said.

"Speaking of my brother, did that guy you told me about, the one that saved you from the flames from the car wreck have a brother?" he asked. Alec looked at Seto puzzled that was a weird way to change a subject, she thought about it for a moment, deciding against it, not to say yes but covered it well. "No, or at least I don't think he did, he did have another boy with him, but I can only assume they weren't related because they looked nothing alike, why do you ask that?" she asked.

"Nothing just thinking, I didn't tell you that the girl that I saved that night my real father died," Seto said, "Mokuba was with me, when I saved her, she saved Mokuba too, thought that maybe, never mind forget I even mentioned it you said it yourself that you hate your memories as much as me," he said.

Alec glared, "what tell me, Kaiba, you saved a girl what about her, you told me about her, however since she was covered in mud and oil that, you probably not recognize her," she said. "Oh nothing, just you'll never know, I have to keep some secrets, from you. Also I have just come to realize that you get me to spill the beans more then you do, you never know," he said. Alexandra nodded, "You never know what? Look the accident happened not too far from here actually the site is less then a few miles away, and don't even ask about going to look at the site," she said. "Well since I don't know where here is, would you be up to going there?" he asked.

Alexandra crossed her arms while moving her brown hair out of her face by shaking her head, no, she had just told him not to ask, but to Seto Kaiba that was an invitation to ask. "I don't think so Kaiba, you may know one of my secrets ok, but I refuse to let you dance on the place my parents died," she spat standing up.

Seto turned and leaned with his back on the counter with his hips sticking out and his elbows against the counter top, 'oh man not now, he making himself look hot leaning like that with his hips sticking out. HEY, WHERE, THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM? GRRRR Kaiba is getting to me, better make this talk fast so I could get to Clare's store early I am out of hair dye again, gosh I hate brown hair I rather have my blue and white lucky Kisara hasn't been picked up by the news media, as me. Knowing Kisara, she's probably keeping a low profile with Yugi and Atem wonder how those four are doing?' thought Alec.

"I just want to see something I just had a theory that's all," he said, going back to the eggs in the pan. "Well your theory is about three miles and around the bend past the store ok," Alec snapped, "If you want to go then walk however remember we're both suppose to be in hiding, and if you get caught don't come running to me," she reminded him.

Seto nodded, "I haven't forgotten, and I owe you nothing, for helping me hide. I am just trying to survive like I always have, and always will be, I don't need you to baby me Alexandra," he said. "As am I, Kaiba as am I, it just happens that my sister is after both of us, now because I am involved," Alec said looking at the apple in her hand.

Kaiba looked at the young woman sitting there in the chair, here he was Seto Kaiba cooking eggs for himself, something he hasn't done in ages, actually probably the day he fired the cook, before Mokuba left and had to make tofu because he didn't want to go to the store to by some real food. However Seto's mind went back to the thought, of being in hiding with a woman, who is suppose to be his enemy.

Seto sighed, "You want some eggs?" he found himself asking aloud, seeing Alec's face as she took a small bite of her apple. "No, I will just eat this, don't want the poison in the apple to counteract the poison in your eggs," she said and walked off with the apple towards her room.

Seto rolled his eyes, 'One day she will admit she likes my cooking. WHAT, THE? How did that get in my brain? I can't fall for her, she's a Pegasus, my enemy, however that saying goes keep your friends close keep your enemies closer,' he thought. Seto finished making his eggs and put them on a plate, getting around was a little easier in the upper level it didn't have as much space as the first level of the house however things were closer together so he could lean on things with out using his crutch which was next to the table.

Alexandra came out of her room moments later dressed in a pair of black jean and tee shirt, baseball cap and sunglasses also all black, "I am heading to Clare's store, for some more hair dye do you need anything?" she asked. Seto thought about it, "Yeah actually some pepper for my eggs," he nearly demanded.

Alec laughed as she went down the stairs, "Ok," she said heading out the door from the stairs and out the first level door. Seto thought now would be a good as time as any to walk around the second level of the house without Alec knowing, he wanted to know what she was planning if she were playing a game with him of cat and mouse only waiting for the right moment to backstab him.

Seto suddenly remembered that Alec said the other day that she had a journal and was writing to some one in it, 'could it be that boy, and if so then maybe her answer this morning to my question could be a lie,' he thought. (A/N: The old Kaiba paranoia has returned hehehehehehe)

Seto walked into Alec's room and looked at the surroundings, he did not get any further then the mini hallway the night before but he did see the whole room now. Walking over to Alec's bed, he found a small book, with red bindings it had pictures from what Seto could tell, for it was thick journal.

Alec was driving down the hill she made it to the very small badly painted convenience store at the bottom of the road, which was like a block away, when she went inside, she saw Clare and greeted the woman with a smile.

Three rows of shelves with food and various items were there to the left when you walked in to the store. The back wall had five doors with frozen foods, in them along with ice cream and what not. Clare was at her counter with a magazine, surrounded by tobacco ads with her little old cash register. A small door leading to the back was next to the five freezer doors.

Meanwhile Kaiba sat on the bed, he looked at the book, "Oh you left yourself wide open, for this Alexandra Pegasus," he said picking it up and opening it the first page.

Alec got some hair dye, pepper, and magazines she had to do something to keep herself busy TV was getting dull and talks with Kaiba would probably end soon because the man was of few words or at when she could draw out words from him. "So child any progress with Mr. Kaiba?" asked Clare. Alec had in time learned to trust Clare over the last few weeks.

For one day a group of officers, came to the store when Alec was there, and the nice old African American woman hid her in the back room, so they would not find her. Clare would watch, Alexandra's back, while she watched the old woman's, for example, someone tried to rob the store, when Alec was there, and she saved the day that was the same day as the police showing up however she didn't get out to the car in time to get back to the house.

Kaiba read the first entry as he sat in Alec's bedroom.

Dear to whom ever reads this,

I suggest unless I said you could read it or I died, to put the book down and step away. If you are one of the people I chose to share this with then you must have found me the day of the car wreck where my parents and your father died. I hope some snoopy ex CEO by the name of Seto Kaiba, who should probably not read this at all until the time is right that needs to stop reading this.

Kaiba closed the book, "How would she know if I would read this?" he asked himself, "I am not snoopy, I am insuring my survival in this mess," he said then went back to reading.

I remember that night you saved my life, I never got you name but I couldn't forget your eyes, stupid I know but I couldn't get you out of my head I felt something for you and in away I know you did too. You are probably all grown up now, by the time I find you or you find me like you promised, you would probably have your own life, and all. Just to let you know mine was not anything grand, I was adopted by Maxamillon Pegasus's brother and sister in law, well more like placed there my parents were good friends with my parents. They have a daughter she is a real bitch, you would have probably heard me ranting about her by now to you if I handed you this journal.

I admit I did a lot I am not proud of one would have to be not asking your name, I mean in those few hours we watched out for each other, and your brother I should have asked you name.

Seto looked up from the book, "I knew it, she lied about that, he did have a brother," he said then went back to reading.

Your probably going to be the one to find me, but I doubt it that you would even look, you were more worried about the injury that your brother had then me even though I tied it up and stopped the bleeding, I hope it didn't leave a scar, from not cleaning it right away. Then again, it was raining however you and I were both in oil and mud that night the police still, don't know why the road had so much on it, they, say that it could have been from the cars however I doubt it.

Seto thought about it he had Mokuba taken to the doctor the minute paramedic arrived and did not even offer the girl to come along she had saved Mokuba, he would have died like his father that night, if it were not for the girl ripping her dress to stop the wound from bleeding. Yet, Seto had just left the girl standing there while the ambulance drove off.

Alec was about to get in to the car and drive up the road towards the house when she looked passed the store where the road continued to her left. She knew that road she feared to get on it again after driving up to the mountain it was the pass that had taken her parents' and the two boys' father's life.

Clare saw Alec looking the direction of the accident, "You know you will have to go there to mourn eventually child, you didn't get to when you were adopted, the Pegasus family took you away from here," she said leaning out the door of the small store. Alec looked at Clare, "I can't go there not without them or him," she said. Clare nodded, "Do you think you will ever find that young man and his brother?" she asked.

Alec shook her head, "No, he will probably fine me, after all he was the one that kissed me that night, no matter what, I am not bound to him, there was just something about him that connected us, a secret, bond between us you know," she said getting into the car.

Clare nodded, "Lord, help that child find that man she longs for," she prayed walking back into the store.

Seto meanwhile still reading Alec's journal.

We may have been messy however; there was something there something I never felt before, even when I was only 10 years old, I felt close to you. I do not know what it was maybe I was too young then to understand maybe, I am still too young even now. When you walked away from me, to check to see any cars or help was coming, I felt that I couldn't breathe for some reason, it wasn't because your brother was holding me so tight because he was, just that something about you covered in dirt made you look well, kind of cute, and handsome don't ever ask me why.

I never forgot what you promised me, that night with that kiss, I remember it every time I look outside, towards where I met you, where we separated as well.

Seto's head shot up, "OH fuck it was her, I remember that promise now, the one I sealed with a kiss and for my first one it was pretty dam good, even if she was 2 years younger then me," he said, remembering.

Flashback

Seto walked back over to the girl and his brother, after looking in the moonlight for any signs of help. He sat next to the girl she was trying to sleep but could not she was shivering along with Mokuba. "Here let me take him," Seto said. The girl shook her head, "I can't he got a death grip on my stomach, its ok I will hang on to him," she smiled.

"You know with all this mud on you I may not recognize you when we're cleaned up," said the girl. Seto laughed slightly, "Yeah, you may look like a man when they finish with you," he teased. The girl glared and punched him in the arm, "Jerk, you don't say that to a girl," she said. Seto laughed, "Well what's stopping you from staying that I look like a donkey when this is over," he said. The girl smirked, "You, a Jackass not possible your way too nice to me."

The girl laughed a little and then went into a serious tone, "You know after this is all over and if we survive do you think they will keep all three of us together," she asked worried. Seto shook his head, "I plan on living thank you, and I don't want to die, not without trying everything for my brother first. I want him to have the best there is out there, that is why I survive, it's for him, now," he said moving his hand over the little boy's head.

The girl nodded, "is it all for him?" she asked. Seto nodded, "I would do anything for him, even step into a train if he asked me too, just to see he was safe and happy," he said. The girl smiled, "You know, I wish I had someone that was willing to do that for me," she said. Seto took his hand and placed it on hers, "You do, actually," he said, putting his hand in hers, "You have me, to do that too, I rather see both of you happy," he said.

The girl smiled letting another tear fall down her face, Seto wiped it away with his thumb, "Don't cry anymore, at least not because of me, but for your parents, you need to mourn like me, I just lost my final parent tonight," he said. The girl tried to keep the tears from coming however; she could not help but gave a small cry, "I am not mourning not until this is over," she said. "Don't cry, I hate to see you cry, your eyes, they…" he paused, "they aren't meant for tears, stars shouldn't be covered by clouds of sadness and rain," he said. (A/N: I know a little romancer isn't he at age 12)

Seto took the girl's face in his hands, "You don't need to cry, after this is over and my brother is safe, I will find you if we are separated," he said. The girl took her free hand that wasn't wrapped in Seto's and wiped the tears on her face showing a little of her once soft white skin. "You promise?" she asked, looking Seto straight in the eye.

Just as the sun was now beginning to rise he kissed her, "I promise with a kiss, I will fine you," he said they were going to face their new lives together with the rising of the sun.

End Flashback

Seto sat there on the bed, he was shocked he hadn't kept his promise he would find her, however he never even looked, instead she found him and didn't even know it yet.

"WHAT, THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN here?" asked/snapped, a very angry Alec in the mini hall of her bedroom. Alec was sending Seto the most devilish glare she could throw at him.
