Chapter 12

Coincidence I think not

Previously, Seto was in Alec's room reading her journal and he had just put her story of her parents with his real father's deaths, together with his just as Alec walked into the room.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!" asked very angry Alec in the mini hall of her bedroom looking at the ex CEO as he sat on her bed with her journal.

Seto nearly fell off the bed but keep his balance however landed on his leg wrong causing him to winch when he answered, "Nothing," he said dropping the book on the floor for it was in his lap. "You were spying on me, you went… I can't believe you would…" she stopped as she now standing in front of him glaring as best she could however, it faded when she saw the book on the floor.

"You read it, didn't you," she said dropping her head picking it up slowly. Seto lifted Alec's head, "Yes, I did, and you lied about the boy having a brother, you said it in that book that the guy did," he said looking at her. Alec pulled away from him with the book in her hand now, "I didn't lie to you about anything, you asked I assumed when I wrote this, not everything is the truth in ink," she snapped, "Just, GET OUT of my room!" she yelled.

Seto didn't move, "No, you said that guy didn't have a brother when in fact he did, you wrote down that he did, fess up you were caught, Alexandra," he said. Alec was peeved, she was so angry that she wanted to put Kaiba out and tell Katharine to come and get him, at that moment. Alec was so mad in fact that she would have probably gone out and bought a tombstone with Kaiba's name on it, that's how angry she was at him.

"So, what if he did doesn't mean anything to you does it? Should it matter to you, anyways Kaiba? Because it doesn't in my opinion," Alec spat at him. "Yes, it does because it involved my brother, it was Mokuba, you saved him that night, Alec," he said looking Alexandra right in the eye.

Alexandra took two steps back away from Kaiba, fear was in her eyes now instead of anger, she feared that he was the boy from the accident and now deep down she knew it to be true however, her mouth said other wise. "No, it can't be you, it couldn't have been, you. Your not him, don't play with my mine you just read what happened to me, yeah I told you a little bit, but your not him, it just isn't possible," she said with her eyes in fear and anger that Kaiba would even consider using that as a way to get out of her anger for him reading her journal.

"It was me, Alexandra, I just remembered it, and put it all together, after reading your journal," Seto said calmly as he could, look at Alec, who was pissed.

Alec took another step back, shaking her head, "It isn't possible, it can't, you, you're not him," she said, "You're not him, he wasn't a heartless bastard like you, not even a jackass," she yelled and ran out of the room. "Alec," he yelled for her to come back however, when he tried to run after her, his leg hurt suddenly, he realized that he had aggravated it when he was surprised by Alec and stood on it wrong.

Seto tried to get himself off the floor by the time he did and was out of the room, Alec head out the first level door and into the rain that was now falling outside.

Alec got into the car and drove quickly on to the road, she hated driving in the rain, it was one of her fears, she knew that one day she would die in the rain but didn't let stop her driving up a hill in the distance from the house to the west, Clare's store was to the East.

Alec parked the car, and turned it off; there was grass all around the car as she sat on the hill top just a few miles from the house. Alec put her head on the steering wheel and started to cry. "He can't be him it's not possible," she said. A figure on horse back approached the car, and knocked on the window, Alec looked up and saw a man standing there, "Hey, I was wondering when you were going to drive up here to get away from him, about time too," he said. Alexandra smiled, "I know, wish I did it sooner," she said wiping the tears from her eyes.

Seto was standing in the living room, "Shit, what was I thinking," he muttered to himself, "Damn you Gosaburo for making me paranoid like that," he shouted at the sky as he looked out the windows. The tall Seto Kaiba looked out from where he stood on his crutches, "Damn it why did I have to re injure my leg, too? Just when I thought I was, whoa," he said falling over, "OUCH! Damn it I hate doing that."

Alec sat on the couch next to a fireplace with a blanket on her shoulder and hot chocolate in hand; the room she was in was rather large and head of deer, mousses and a few ducks that had been taxidermy, and placed on the wall like trophies. Two couches were in the room Rebecca was sitting on one while Alec was on the other, the room was dark and was lit with the light from a near by fire in the fireplace.

Mokuba walked in with some clothes, "So he read your journal what's so bad about that?" said Mokuba sitting down. Alec shook her head, "NO, Mokuba it's not just that," she spoke closing her eyes, "he read something in there, something that is a little personal, that I don't want to admit happened now," she said.

"What you were raped or something?" asked Rebecca loudly. "Rebecca," said Mokuba looking at his girlfriend, "don't ask that," he said, "Did Seto do something worse?" Alec gave a half of nod, "Sort of it was 11 years ago," she said, "Now I wish he didn't promise with it, he stole something from me Mokuba."

"What do you mean 11 years ago, Alec we have only known you for 7 years," he said. Alec shook her head, "Remember the night your father died in that car accident?" she asked. Mokuba nodded thinking that Seto must of told her about it, "Yeah, Seto saved my life, along with some girl, he was kind different after that, as if he was worried about her why?" he said. Alexandra sighed, "Well, that night my parents died as well, in the same accident, I was that girl your brother helped out of the fire," she said.

Mokuba's jaw dropped, "Wait you were… no way," he started to say as Alexandra's head nodded quickly. "Oh shit, that's not good, and I remembered waking up seeing Seto, kiss you, oh man that is bad, if my brother took your first kiss, and you know him for being a pain in the ass now, this really sucks for him," he added, putting it together. Rebecca hit Mokuba upside the head, "Hey don't talk bad about your brother, that's mine and Joey's job, to make fun of him," she said, "Even if he is a jackass," she finished.

"Yeah, tell me about it, the man that I hate that I had taken care of me that night. It just had to be the lonely jackass, Seto Kaiba, who is now the guy who, actually saved my life from a fiery car wreck, that made me developed, feeling for him, now to find it's the one man that loath is nuts," she said trying to stay calm however failing to do so.

"Well, how do you know it was him, I mean think about it Alexandra it could happen to anyone. Not to mention he could have used it as a way to get you to back off that he read your journal," he said.

Alec shook her head, "Not with what I wrote, I wasn't very detailed about it no names were in it, I didn't ask you guys when you were there remember. In the journal however I know, some how I always knew it was Kaiba, but just feared it maybe that it could be him, because he forgot about me," she said. "Alec is there anything to prove that it was Seto and Mokuba from that night? You're starting to sound unsure about it now," asked Rebecca.

"Well nothing really, other then, part of my ratted dress that I used to bandage Mokuba's arm, if it was him, the gash was pretty bad, it could leave a scar," said Alexandra. Mokuba shook his head, "When the paramedic arrived I didn't have anything on my arm," he said, "except a rather large cut but Seto had his pant leg missing so I assumed that it was that, which stopped the bleeding, even if he was covered in mud from head to foot. I have a small scar but nothing that would be life threatening," he finished.

Alec shook her head, "Maybe it wasn't you two but, we lived near the same hill tops that's, for sure. Your father owned this house, and my parents own the one which your brother is in right now, probably muttering on how to get me back for saving his life now, or hurt his leg so that way our scores stay unbalanced, again," she said.

"Alec maybe you should just stay the night and call the house to tell Kaiba your alright," said Rebecca. "How they don't have an external phone line, remember or else I would have talked with my brother by now," said Mokuba, "I tried to call before," he said looking at Alexandra. Alec smirked, "I did that so we couldn't be tracked down here, via phone, the line wasn't secure only the internal lines were," she said.

"Alexandra, why don't you ask Seto if it is him, I mean besides the dress was there anything else?" asked Mokuba. Alec nodded, "Yeah there was one thing but umm, well I am kind embarrassed to say, maybe if he kissed me again I could probably tell I have only been kissed once and the memory is burn in my brain, but after 11 years can a kiss be the same as before?" she asked.

Mokuba smirked, "That image of you two is burned into my brain so, why don't you go and find out, if it's not him, then what you are worried about, if it is him, then deal with it, tell him how you feel," he said.

Alec sighed, " I don't feel anything for him," she snapped, "but, I guess you're right Mokuba, just because we used to had a bond doesn't mean I feel anything for him, now" she said, standing up letting the blanket fall, "I should be getting back. Who knows he could have probably fallen down the stairs by now with that leg of his, that I probably had him aggravate it, when I surprised him," she said.

Seto limped using his one good crutch being he left the other on the first level when he tried to walk without it. "Damn it, why did I do it," he muttered opening the refrigerator, "Why did I have to be so paranoid, to look in her journal just to find she is the one that I promise to find. To take care of all those years ago, once everything was over, but it's never over never has been I wasn't the same after that night. Ever since that day, my life has never moved on, just put aside, with each moment until I couldn't think about it anymore," he said.

Seto walked/hobbled over to the couch next to a lazy boy chair and table and flopped on the couch. He now, knew this place somehow; he looked outside the large windows that took most the wall behind the TV and the couch giving a 90-degree view. "It's amazing how this place looks familiar, now, I could swear that over those trees is a small cabin… no it's not the same," he said looking at the trees.

Seto sat up a bit to look though the trees, he could see the road from where he sat, and a hill in the distance, he figured he would walk up there some time, when his leg was better. Seto gripped his rib for, it suddenly hurt from time to time when he would sit wrong taking a pillow behind him to help it go away now changing his position.

"I recognized those trees, that road, that hill, now it is," he said now fully standing with the crouch in hand, "I am near where I was born." (Ok not true in a sense but hey fanfiction Alternate Universe for ya) "It has to be I am back near where my parents lived, my real parents," he said, looking at the rest of the view.

Kaiba stood up he could see a large lake in the distance, "Yes, it is actually, the house is still where it was and you weren't born far from here," said Alec behind him.

Seto turned, "Where the hell have you been?" he limped over to her, "I need you to look at my leg again, you aggravated it, when you surprised me in your room," he snapped. Alec shook her head "Look, I told you not to walk on it, but do you listen to me, NO. You just had to do it all your way, tough shit Kaiba, should of thought of that before you went through my stuff, your not getting anymore help from me ok," she said crossing her arms.

Seto walked/limped over to Alec, "I am sorry, alright," he said, suddenly as Alec was looking away arms crossed and angry. "I shouldn't have gotten into your stuff, I had to be sure, I had to know Alec, you know that," he said taking a few calming breaths, "I should admit that I can't do much. I wanted to be sure that you weren't planning something.

"Why would I write down plans where my enemy could see them, Kaiba," Alec shot back at Seto sounding almost like him when they were back at the cabin.

"Look this is hard for me, ok, I been hunted before except just waiting is driving me nuts and your answered to my question this morning wasn't full truth nor lie," he said. "I screwed up, I am a guy we do that, I know you were planning to just let me die out there in the snow however you didn't so live with it, and…" Seto realized he wasn't getting anywhere now so he just shut his mouth.

Alec opened one of her eyes and looked at Seto, "Don't worry about it, I was probably going to show it to you in time who knows, I sort of started to trust you, until this afternoon," she said suddenly uncrossing her arms looking at the floor in defeat.

Seto looked at Alec a little bewildered, "You know I didn't keep my promise, to you, all those years ago, I never really looked for you," he said knowing that it was time to face the music, they knew they had saved each other maybe it was time to do it again.

Alec glared at Kaiba, "Look, you read it in there, what's to say that you're just making it up. Just to get back at me for what my sister did to you, of taking your company ruining your unhappy little life, by getting close to me, you know that saying as well as I do, 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer,'" she said as tear wielded in her eyes.

"I didn't want all this to happen, I didn't want to be like her, I hate her Kaiba. Katharine is a bitch, worse a monster sometimes worst then you would ever be. I wish I wasn't even Katharine's stepsister, in away I wish that I could've not hit you in the head and let you shot her dead. It would have probably done me a favor. However, I did hit you on the head, that day, well now you get a free shot so get it over with, and just knock me out and beat me to a bloody pulp. Because I am tired of all this, that day with the magic 8 ball didn't count but now is your chance so go ahead and hit me upside the head," she said.

Seto shook his head, "You know the saying well, however I got another one for you, the enemy of my enemy is also my…" he couldn't believe he was about to say this, sounding like Tea, "Friend," he said, putting his hands into his pockets. Seto then pulled out the piece of the dress that he removed from Mokuba's arm just before the medics came. Alec let a few tears fall as she looked at the floor waiting for him to hit her upside the head and get his revenge.

Seto lifted Alec's head and used the clean part of the cloth to wipe away Alec's tears, "You shouldn't cry because I said I would die for you, you should have been crying for your parents that night," he said. "You should get on and survive weather it's with me or without me," he said, moving away from her after putting the cloth in her hand.

Alec was speechless, it was him, from the accident she remember some of those words, however he changed some of them, could it had been possible that the nice boy that was once Seto could still be alive? Seto Kaiba had changed from being on top of the world big shot to a simple human being

Maybe just maybe that boy was just buried in the snow and when she saved him along with Yugi, Joey and Mokuba that cold snowy night, she brought back the boy from his mind.

If Seto could change 11 years ago, 'maybe,' thought Alec, that she had changed too, no, that wasn't it, she had just like Seto, just buried feelings and emotions away. Seto sighed as he looked at the rain, falling on the porch that surrounded the second level. Alec walked up behind Seto and was about to say something however actions to her spoke louder then any word.

"Whatever," Alec said, standing there, "I don't want to fight anymore, I am tired of lying, of what I am, ok," she finished. Seto turned towards Alec, "What are you then if you don't know?" he asked. Alec shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, actually just trying to survive like you were, except maybe I was doing it so that maybe one day I could save you and repay that debt. I guess you and I are in the same boat, on that, maybe the same since that night and just never knew it," she spoke slowly getting closer to Kaiba.

Suddenly, Seto found his mouth on Alec's lips, and giving sharing a long hard kiss with her something about her was familiar. When Alec pulled away from Seto not one drop of rain had fallen after that and the sun came out suddenly shinning on them. Seto looked at Alec his eyes they were soft blue as they had been the night of the accident. Alec suddenly saw it, right there, looking at Seto's eyes, as they were looking into each other's eyes, Alec saw the light in the distance beaming slowly in the fog.

Seto saw it in Alec's eyes, the same stars that belonged in the sky, and Alec saw a small lighthouse shining in Seto's however, it was deeply buried under fog. They both knew then it was true now, that they were in the same boat of confusion, the same accident 11 years ago where they both lost their family except Seto kept Mokuba, and both had the same mad woman trying to kill them.

"It was you, it's always been you," said Alec with a mix of fear and delight. Seto nodded, "I should have known, it was you, the minute you told me about how your parents died, and about me saving your life, I just wish I found you sooner," he said.

Moments passed as the two stood there just looking at each other, neither one of them made a move as if frozen in time and the clock in the room stood still. Alec looked at Seto and Seto did the same to Alec, as the sunlight dripped in through the clouds. Alec finally blinked and moved her head after seeing the light of the sun out of the corner of her eye, "You know it's ironic that the sun came out just as I kissed, you, like it did when…" she said.

Seto smirked, "It was rising when I kissed you on that east facing ridge, that night," he said, taking Alec's hand. "You found me, even if I was buried, deep in snow. I found you in danger of being burned to death by oil fire, and yet you found me, again," he said, to her.

Alec looked at him puzzled, "I had to, for Mokuba, that night in the snow," she said walking away from Seto, "I am heading to bed," she said looking at the clock it was only 8:00pm. (Yes sunsets that late sometimes I should know it happens in my state where I live all the time now)

Seto nodded, "Yes," he said then taking a step he nearly fell over, Alec caught him however since she wasn't that strong she fell breaking his fall. Seto was pinning Alec to the ground. "Well looks like we're in a strange position," said Seto, "You catching me, and then breaking my fall," he had a smug look on his face.

Alec smirked a little, "Get off me you jackass," she said however, Seto took the opportunity to take Alec's lips this time he would be the one to do it. Alec closed her eyes she loved kissing him even though in a way, she didn't like him at that moment for being so heavy.

Deep down now Alec knew her feeling had not faded however; they weren't for Seto Kaiba, but the Seto from the night of the accident, minus the mud and oil on his face, which made him smell and the feel of his lips on her so much better.

Seto let go of Alec's lips both not knowing what just happened between them, from a sudden clouded haze of passion had been in the kiss, they were both in at the heat of the moment. He saved her that night 11 years ago, she save him when he was near death in the woods even if she did say it was for Mokuba.

Alec looked at Seto and the staring contest begun again, except Alec could see more of the light in Seto's eyes, starting to get brighter now with each moment, she knew he was breaking.

Not the breaking down and crying that many people do, breaking down the wall and barriers, built to keep something inside and hidden from harm, his heart. The walls he had built thanks to Gosaburo's lesson and tactics, they all came down at once, and all it took was just one kiss to bring the lighthouse from behind the iron curtain of fog.

Seto moved some of Alec's dyed brown hair and moved it so he could see the roots of her blue hair that were now showing, Seto loved Alec's hair it was so soft and sweet smelling. He remembered that night how sweet her hair smelled, even with the oil and mud in it he still liked it.

Alec just looked up at Seto who was on top of her still; however, she wasn't starting to mind his weight anymore she got used to it. That is when Alec noticed Seto's scent, in fact, she loved how he smelled, and compared to last time she got this close to him 11 years ago. Alec remembered how Seto smelled the night of the accident however, he smelled of oil and dirt, but now a little sweeter, then before, definitely cleaner.

Slowly Seto sat up and moved off Alec, letting her look at him sitting up, "Maybe I should look at that leg of your," she said. Seto nodded, "Maybe, you should do a full check up on all my old injures, just to be sure," he said. Alec smiled slightly with a small grin on her face, "Seto Kaiba," she said slowly. Seto thought Alec was going to say something seductive, however.

"I can't believe that you think I am that kind of woman, for crying out loud," Alec said getting off the floor, and marching to her room slamming the door. Seto just chuckled, "I was kidding Alec, what can't take a joke? Women, geze so picky, I just meant check my rib, it was hurting earlier," he said getting off the floor however falling over again.

"OUCH! DANG IT," he yelled, hitting the ground hard.

That last one was poking at me, I am picky, HEHEHEHHEE

Hello reviewers, thank you all readers, and now to the personal thank you

Oh and boxers next chapter which will be next week

Darkstar: Well here, it is, the firework of anger fly, well not that greatly but it worked, I think. Well Alec is angry with Kaiba, and got back at him by not looking at his leg, and yet I feel that more could be added here, however I am happy with the way it is right now. I also realized when I was editing today that this is a fluffy chapter, was it good bad please tell me I feel that it sucked in a way but it seems mediocre compared to some of the other stuff I wrote before.

Maat's Feather: Thanks for liking the imaginary friend and unknown reader, you can see in this, chapter who the unknown reader was, lol aka Kaiba except Alec didn't know it yet. Anyways, I hear what you're saying about chapter 10, it was a good transitional chapter however, and I feel that I could have put more into the conversation between Kaiba and Alec; however, writer's block isn't fun to have. I couldn't come up with a good conversation between Seto and Alec until I wrote this chapter I didn't want to give up, what was to come. I put that they talked about the night their parents died, I hope that made sense and if I did write up what the two talked about it would give away some things that I didn't want revealed yet, and I couldn't think of anything to put there. Some thing they didn't talk about will be popping up and you will see that in next chapter.
