Chapter 13

Fear of the night

Alec sat in her room that night she closed her eyes while she sat there with the journal in her hand. "Why me of all people, have to have a thing, with Seto Kaiba? How could it get any worse," she asked. "What was I expecting really, for the guy and his brother that saved my life," said Alec.

"Maybe someone dreamy, plain umm, boring, maybe a little sarcastic," said Seto walking into the room. Alec turned, "get out, I don't want you in here, at all, I never go into your room uninvited," she snapped. Seto leaned against the wall, "No, however you have been in my room I am just returning the favor, also, I am not leaving until you look at my leg," he said hopping over to her. "Oh and then what do you want me to do full body cavity search, not happening, Kaiba," snapped Alec.

"Now who's the one sounding, like me hmm," Seto said, looking at Alec, as she shifted on the bed. "I don't need you," she said rolling away from him towards the sliding door side of the bed, so that she couldn't be seen from the hallway. "Really, because your body was screaming something else a few minutes ago in the living room," he said. Alec turned, "Perverted asshole," she snapped at him sitting up. Kaiba laughed, "If I was a pervert, who I will add that, I am not. I would have done something more then kiss you in the living room, like you did me," he said.

Alec sat up, "Look, we had a moment a nice moment," she said sounding sarcastic, "nothing more, just repaying a debt of you saving my life, ok," she said. "Is that all, I am a debt, now, Alec look you saved my life, I saved, yours first were square on that, you protected Mokuba, and for that I am thankful, as far as am concerned you already paid in full, for me," he said.

"Well, your not, something else has to happen first, however I can't say it," Alec muttered, as she turned away from Kaiba. "What was that?" he asked hearing Alec mutter. "Nothing, sleep talking," she said, "Go to bed Kaiba. I will look at your leg in the morning."

Seto turned to leave, "Fine," he said and walked out of the room, a clash of thunder came from outside another storm was coming. Seto walked/hobbled, to his room and shut the door.

Later that night

Alec tossed and turned in her bed, nightmares were in her head, of her years living in the Pegasus household.

"Come on Alexandra it won't hurt a bit," said Katharine with a knife and candle in her hand, "All I am going to do is write my name." Alexandra who looked like a 12 year old girl was against a wall, she tried to run as the shadow of her step sister came closer soon engulfing her.

"NO Katharine, stay away I am sorry I won't go in your room, again, please don't use a heated tip knife on me again," pleaded Alec when she was pined to the floor and her step sister on her back slowly edging her mark on Alec's back. "NOOOOOO!" screamed Alec shooting up in the bed.

Alec heard the crash of thunder, she gasped, as the sound and lighting scared her. Slowly Alec reached under her shirt, towards her lower back she found the scars still there little cuts reopened from time to time by Katharine, they were in the shape of little Ks and Ps from Katharine Pegasus a branding with the knife.

Alec did fear one thing in her life and that was Katharine's wrath for protecting Kaiba. However now she had choices just like him too run, start over or die, Alec had choose the fourth option on the list hide until the right time to face her step sister and get her freedom and life she lost back. Sadly time was running out Alec knew that it would be soon that Katharine would figure it out, that she ran to her biological parents' house and hide with Kaiba there a place that she knew would take time to find.

The room was dark only lit when the lighting would clash outside. Alec took a few calming breathes before rolling over to go back to sleep however something moved by the door. Alec heard movement in her room she sat up quickly, and looked towards the direction of the sound, she wondered who or what could be in her room.

Lighting struck outside Alec looked at the door when the room was lit for that split second she saw a tall figure, she couldn't make out what or who it was but it was there something was there at one point.

Reaching over to turn on the light however when Alec clicked it didn't turn on, the power was out. 'Oh crap I am in trouble,' thought Alec reaching under her pillow where she kept a gun, however when she got it lighting struck outside and the room lit up but nothing was there anymore. Alec took a few claming breaths however; she knew that she couldn't be alone at least not tonight.

Taking some more breathes, she reached for her table draw and pulled out a flashlight why she hadn't thought of it before she didn't know, probably the heart pumping was enough to make her loose focus.

Thunder sounded outside of the house, Alec took a few breaths, she usually didn't like thunderstorm however her adopted father was there to calm her usually, however they both were gone, and Katharine was the only thing left that tied her to the Pegasus family.

Lighting struck outside again and Alec saw something move by her door again this time it didn't stay there, Alec turned on the flashlight however it didn't last long, as something knocked it out of her hand.

"NO," Alec yelled, as the light shined on the figure she saw the white skin, blue/white hair and dark eyes, looking at her. "Hello little sister," she said holding a gun at Alec, who was a little uneasy now. "Katharine, what are…you…" Alec said breathing hard. "I am here to do what I should have done to you as punishment instead of with a heated tipped knife, and to serve you with a warning, you belong to me, and not to him," she said.

Alec shook her head, "I don't belong to anyone, do you hear me, I am not a slave for you leave me alone, you have what you want, you have the companies, you have everything just let me go, I want my own life not a copy of yours," she said pulling out her gun. However, the gun wasn't a gun it was a balloon.

Katharine started laughing like mad, as she walked over to Alec pointing a very sharp knife at her instead of a gun. "Now time for your branding slave," said Katharine as Alec suddenly felt two hands grabbing her shoulders.

"NOOOOOO!" yelled Alec waking up from a nightmare with someone over her. "Alec, wake up!" yelled Kaiba. Alec opened her eyes after flaying around on the bed for a few moments, screaming, breathing hard she felt someone near by her. "Alec relax it's just me," said Seto holding Alec's shoulders, "it was just a nightmare," he snapped angrily.

Alec took a few breathes and reached over to turn on the light however it wouldn't turn on, "The power is out dumb ass, been out since the storm hit," said Kaiba with his arms crossed. Alec reached for her flashlight and turned it on, right in Kaiba's face. "AHH Alec moved that, thing from my face are you trying to blind me," he said putting his hands up to block the bright MAG light.

Alec moved the light, she saw that Kaiba was in a shirt and his boxers, "What the hell are you doing in here, I told you to stay out, of this room," snapped Alec looking at him with the second most evil glare she could make in the dark. "I would have, but your screaming was getting on my nerves, not to mention I think everyone on this freaking planet could hear you, screaming," he said. Alec took a few calming breathes, "Don't scare me like that, ever again," she snapped.

Seto nodded, "Well looks who's talking now, you're scared," he said. Alec shook her head, "Am not, just left over memories that's all, I am not scared of anything," she said.

Seto nodded "Right and my name is Yugi Muto and my younger brother is Joey Mutt Wheeler," he said to her sarcastically. "I am not scared of storms, Kaiba," Alec shot back, "Just what happened during a few," she said quietly.

Seto chuckled, "I did not give specifics I was mainly pointing out that you get scared," he said. Alec crossed her arms, "So what if I do? Not like you haven't done things that scare you in the night, come on Mokuba being captured by my Uncle is a very good example," she spat.

"Actually that was one out of two things that scared me, was a night where it was raining, just like this," he said standing up, "but not like am going to tell you, right now anyways, you have to be ready for it," Seto said heading towards the bedroom door. Alec glared at Kaiba in the darkness, "How are you getting around without a flashlight?" she asked him suddenly. Seto laughed, "You'll be surprised what you can see with glow in the dark boxers," he said as Alec went wide-eyed.

"Gosh, Clare was right those are childish boxers," she said pointing the light at Kaiba's boxers before he disappear behind the mini hallway. "Yep, and glow in the dark Blue Eyes White Dragons, don't leave the bedroom without them," she said, and then got a funny grin on her face as if selling the things.

Alec jumped out of bed, and ran after Kaiba, "You know, I think those things need a recharge, because they look a little dim," she said pointing the flashlight at his shorts again. "What?" asked Kaiba in the hall between his room and the stair barrier, as he walked to his room, "I don't know what you're talking about," he spat.

"Your boxers need a recharging," she said, with flashlight pointed at him. Seto shook his head, "OH, no you don't," he said, "give me that flash light," he jumped at her. However before Seto could catch Alec she was halfway down the stairs, point the flashlight at him, "Want me to stop making those dragons glow then come and get the flashlight," she said waving it at him. Seto was up for a challenge and Alec was asking for it, now. "Fine but if I win this you have to kiss me again," he said.

Ever since that afternoon Seto couldn't keep his mind off, of Alexandra those kisses they shared were starting to bug him and having him question, if he really did have feelings for the girl there was only a slight problem if he did, but right now he didn't want to think about it.

Alec stuck her head in the door for she ran into the first level, "Fine, but you have to sleep in the cold basement," she said, "And down here without the heater on, and it will be one cold night for you."

"Deal but if you lose and I get the flashlight then you have to do what I say for a week, also," he smirked. "What ever blue eyed dragon boxer man," she said running into the room.

Once Seto got down the stairs, Alec was standing by the door to the outside, "Ok here is the deal," she said turning on the flashlight to show where she was. "I am going to hide down here, with the flashlight, if I can get all three of the dragons on your shorts to glow, you lose, however get the flashlight from me you win. Also you can do what ever you want to make me hand you the flashlight however you can't rip it out of my hands, and I am to chase you trying to light those kiddy dragons on your ass, fair," she said.

Seto nodded, "Fine, the prize is what we agreed before I got down here," he said. Alec nodded, "I have to check something sit down, Kaiba Boy," she said pointing the light at a chair.

Seto sat down as much as he hated being called by the little nickname Pegasus gave him, he was glad Alec was finally going to look at his leg maybe the pain will stop now. Alec walked over and handed Seto the flashlight, "Here hold this," she said giving up the flashlight, unknown to him that the game had already started.

Seto didn't realize that he was actually charging his blue eyes white dragon boxer shorts when he was holding the light and Alec knew that she was going to win this game however, Kaiba knew what Alec was up to the minute she handed him the flashlight and it took all he had to keep the grin off his face.

Alec lifted Seto's leg it was bandaged pretty well, and she slowly undid the binding so that she could check it. Thunder and light roared outside, however on the inside things were getting a little drastic.

Alec had undid Seto foot, and looked at the once deep gashes that was there, along with his knee, "Looks alright I think you just tightened the bandaged when you got surprised, by me in my room, other then that try to stand on it," she said.

Seto handed Alec the flashlight, and stood up surprisingly he felt no pain however he then realized that he had handed Alec the flashlight making her the winner and his dragons glowing. "Damn it," he cursed looking at the ceiling as Alec was smirking as she walked over to him.

"You lose," Alec, said smirking as the lighting struck outside with a roar of thunder sounding like a dragon. Seto knew how to get the upper hand; it was somewhat unnecessary but worth the torture for Alec. He was going to make this as painful as possible for Alexandra as he could.

"OK, you win this round however the war is still on, and since I have to sleep down here without the heater, I will add the fact that I will hand you the boxers as a trophy however you have to take them off me," he said. Alec looked at Seto funny at first she just won yet Seto, was making demands, "Fine, hold this," she said giving Seto the flashlight and then he took two long steps back moving out of her reach and causing Alec to fall on her face. "I win now," said Seto with a smirk on his face look down at the young woman.

Alec's mouth dropped along with her eyes wide as she looked up at Seto Kaiba, "OH damn you, Kaiba," she cursed fuming, the game was still on and she totally let him trick her like that.

Seto smirked, as he looked at Alec, who had completely forgotten about the storm, now. "You still have to sleep down here in the cold, Kaiba," she snapped. Seto smirked, "I plan to, after you give me that kiss, now fork it over," he said, "And be my maid for a week."

Alec walked over to Kaiba, "Fine, however as your maid, I have, already been for the past few months, that debt is paid, now give me back my MAG light," she said reaching for it. Seto smirked, as Alec walked close to him again to get the light Seto moved away, "So do you want it now, or later," she smirked at him finally reminding him of the kiss she owed him.

Seto looked down at Alec, he wanted to kiss her however, the thought of sleeping alone in the cold basement back in his considered cell didn't help him much he, knew he had to do something to avoid it. "Actually, Alec I think now," said Seto, moving past her, "However when I collect on my part of the bargain, I want you to collect your too, at the same time," he said heading for the stairs. Alec walked over to Seto, "fine," she said and followed him upstairs, "No one said it had to be tonight anyways. Also like I would ever sleep with you," she said sounding like her old self.

Once upstairs Alec hesitated to go back in her room, she was deep in thought about two thing, if Seto was able to sneak up on her as he did when she was having the nightmare, what would happened if Katharine or one of her goons showed up. Alec took a few deep breathes before putting her hand on the door knob, Seto was about to walk into his room when he saw that Alec was just standing by her door shaking as she saw a demon or monster.

Alec was not shivering from cold, Seto could tell that for he was over heated but he saw that Alec's face showed with fear. However, what Alec could be afraid of in her room, Seto didn't know however, he swore that she jumped 10 feet off the ground when he touched her shoulder.

"AHHHH NO!" she screamed jumping into the room, actually more like falling into her room. Seto felt like laughing however when he saw Alec's face he felt something, something he hadn't felt in a really long time, ever since he actually was adopted long time it was one at that moment he couldn't place or name.

"Alexandra?" said Seto, slowly looking at her fear covered face, as she lay on the floor. Out of nowhere Seto just sat down at Alec's side as he watched her started to cry, "I can't do this anymore," she said barring her face in her outstretched arms. Seto looked at Alec puzzled, this was the first time he had ever seen the young woman break down, or any woman for that matter.

Seto then saw it, as Alec's nightshirt had ridden up her back he saw the lines, the tiny scars that were little Ks and Ps, all mixed up near the pajama pant line of her lower back. "Alexandra, look at me," said Kaiba as he touched the young woman's shoulder, except she just went into a fetal position on the floor moving away from him slowly. "Leave me alone, I promise I won't do it again," Alec nearly screamed moving away, tears in her eyes and jumped onto the bed that is when Seto saw it on the vanity table.

A picture, of a man, woman and little girl sitting there he could see it thanks to the flashlight that was in his hand. The girl in the picture, caused Seto to recognized her, right away, it was Alec, at the age which her parents dead.

Seto didn't know why Alec was crying, the way she was shaking just that, she was freaking out in front of him and for one, and he felt helpless to her. The thing Kaiba hadn't felt in years, it was concern, and he didn't know why he did for Alec. To him Alec was just another girl; however, one that he promised with a kiss, to take care of until the car wreak was over, the one he said he would die for, he remembered that promise it burned him now even if he didn't want it too. Well, actually it seemed more to him the promise was backward Alec had put her life out for him, just so he could get away from Katharine, she was now wanted and after seeing those Ks and Ps Seto realized that Alec and him had always been in the same boat or very close to it.

Alec did save Seto's life even though he didn't like to admit it was true she did save his life and maybe a little more then that. Alec curled up on the bed, hugging a pillow, "Make it stop, make it go away," she whispered shaking.

Seto walked over to Alec and turned off the flash light the lighting was still striking outside, and the room lighting every so often by it. Alec continued to cry her self to sleep however; it soon stopped when Seto did something he didn't mean to do he slowly picked her off the bed.

Seto carried Alec out of the room, towards his room he didn't think having Alec stay in her parents' room was a good idea anymore. Alec clung to Seto even though he guessed her to be half-asleep now, however he saw the tears still coming from her eyes, this brought back a lot of bad memories.

Gently as Seto could, he placed Alec down on the bed, the moment her head touched the pillow she seemed to relax, Seto decided to stay with her throughout the night however no in the same bed that was out of the question. He walked to the desk area and pulled out the chair that was there and placed it by Alec's side of the bed. Seto sat down in it and watched Alec sleep; for once, he was going to watch her, as she had watched him the night of the accident.

Memories of Gosaburo began to show in Seto's mind, those many nights of trying to recite math problems, business strategies, and that he had no feelings, with each belt whip that hit his back. Seto for once knew that he and Alec must have been in the same boat of abuse, like the accident that stole their parents, and changed their lives. There had to be more to why Alexandra saved him from the snow and he was determined to find out.

Seto placed his hand on his back as an evil memory came to mind, of one of his beating that he faced, he knew that with a memory like that in his mind there was no going to sleep for him. Everytime Seto heard the thunder crack outside he heard and felt the belt of Gosaburo Kaiba.

Quick note: I notice that I am giving more of Alec's side, lately and for that I applogize and I haven't brought Atem, Joey, Yugi, and Kisara in for a while don't worry you will see them next chapter.
