Chapter 21

How can you be alive?

Katharine's hand had a bullet hole in it to go with the one the grazed her hand before, "Ah shit," she yelled losing the gun as Atemu, Joey, and Yugi jumped for it, however Atemu caught it and pointed it at Katharine making sure not to turn it towards anyone else.

"Step the hell away from my brother, and girlfriend, you bitch," snapped a cold angry voice as two figures stepped out of the shadows with another figure that was shorter with pigtails in her hair. Alexandra and Mokuba, who had been hugging each other and waiting to be shot, heard a familiar scolding voice and looked up to see a tall figure.

"Seto?" said Alexandra and Mokuba looking towards Seto standing there with a bandaged arm and leaning on Rebecca's shoulder with Seto hand, and Rebecca holding a gun in her hand pointed at Katharine. "Keep, your distance from my fiancé, no body is touching or hurting him. Do you got that, or do you have that you wacky loony nut case, who needs to have her brain taken to the cleaners, don't make me put another bullet hole in your body, unlike Kaiba here I won't hesitate to shot again," said Rebecca.

"Rebecca you're late," said Joey, with a smirk on his face. Alexandra and Mokuba let go of each other, and looked at Seto as he hobbled over to them. Alexandra couldn't think her mind was clouded she looked at Seto as if she had seen a ghost, then the memory returned of when she shot him.

Flashback (think of it in slow motion if that helps any)

Alexandra fired the gun however her eyes were blurry making her aim off. The bullet had hit Seto but in the upper arm just under the shoulder, she missed. However no one saw Seto's knees bend and jump backwards with the bullet and was pulled on to a small rock just out of site with Rebecca using the millennium sword with the speed of light that it contained to grab Kaiba just as he stumbled over the railing. She took care of Seto's injured arm and then they climbed up the rock side a little ways up the road hearing everything that was going on.

End flash back

Mokuba hugged his brother, "Are you alright?" he asked. Katharine rolled her eyes, "Please, tell me your not about to cry are you?" she said looking at Alexandra. Seto looked at Katharine, "It's over for you, Bitch," he said pointing the gun at her that he had when he fell over the cliff that he still had. Alexandra backed away slowly from Seto and Mokuba she wasn't going to protect Katharine, not this time and never again. However, she wasn't sure of herself either. Katharine laughed, "You forget, I still and always have one more card up my sleeve, after all I am the last of Gosaburo Kaiba's bloodline," she said with a deadly smirk.

Alexandra looked at the side of the road, "Get away from the jeep, now," she yelled, as she spotted the bomb. Everyone looked at Katharine just as she pushed a button on a controller that was up her sleeve.

Atemu, Yugi, Mai, Joey, Yugi, Rebecca, and Kisara, all got out of the way of the blast quickly, since they were on the other side of the road. However, Seto, Mokuba, Alexandra and Katharine were next to the car and were still in range when it went off.

Alexandra pushed Seto and Mokuba out of the way however, Katharine stood in her spot laughing like a mantic. (Can we all say crazy loony until the end there) Mokuba was pushed over to Rebecca however, Seto tripped with the push Alexandra had given him, and she fell on top of him as the car next to them exploded.

"Kaiba, Alexandra," yelled everyone as a blinding light covered the side of the mountain.

Clare and a group of police came up the mountain moments later, after just hearing the gun shot in the air plus the explosion and to the rescues team's surprise, the gang was all right. Yugi, Atemu, Kisara, Mokuba, Rebecca, Joey and Mai were all right, however rocks had fallen onto where Alexandra and Kaiba had landed, and Katharine was thought to be too close to the blast to survive.

The team treated everyone's small scrapes and bruise caused by the flying shrapnel, Seto and Alexandra weren't seen though no one could tell if they had made it or not. "Oh no," said Mai, recalling that Kaiba and Alexandra may not had escaped the blast in time.

Yugi and Atemu looked at each other with small smirks plastered on to their faces the whole plan work out perfectly they knew that Alexandra's entire plan that she shared with Atemu and Yugi worked like a charm and Alexandra got what she wanted. "Don't worry they are fine, they have to be," whispered Yugi to Mai. "What are you talking about?" she asked Yugi puzzled. Joey tapped Mai on the shoulder look over there," he whispered pointing to zip line that wasn't visible until now going from where Seto and Alexandra were standing to a boat that was just at the bottom of the rocks.

A boat was on the lake, with two small figures on it, Rebecca pulled out her radio, "Hey you two ok? And how was the ride down is it safe enough for me and Mokuba to do next?" she asked. Kisara looked at Mai, "See they're down there," she said. The police and Clare came to the edge of the guardrail and saw the boat.

"Yeah were fine, Rebecca, however my arm isn't so great, AHH, Alexandra that hurts, and look it's fucking bleeding again, oh and the ride sucked," came a male voice over the speaker. Mokuba took the radio the minute he heard the response, "Seto, DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" he snapped.

"Seto is a little busy at the moment Mokuba, you can yell at him later," said a female voice laughing. "I don't see what so funny about OUCH! ALEXANDRA! That stings OUCH, FUCK, ok stop poking my arm gosh your annoying, right now why didn't you tell me that you were planning this from the beginning," yelled Seto over the radio. (Sorry I know language may make the rating go up if it does sorry but I doubt it)

Clare took the radio, "Ally, are you alright? Child you just scared the day lights out of me," she said with her accent. Kisara smiled, "Their fine, trust me," she said. "How would you know, they were just in an explosion? Which I don't really care and all, I am kidding ok don't look at me like that Mai," asked Joey then catching Mai ready to hit him upside the head. Kisara nodded, "They were however, something transported them to the boat other then that zips line, oh and Rebecca try to get my sword back from Alexandra when they get back to the house," she said walking away and over to Atemu.

Atemu, was leaning against a rock getting some cuts taken care of, that he got from some shrapnel protecting Kisara and Yugi, "So how are they?" he asked in a deep voice. Kisara smiled and sat next to the former Pharaoh, "like they should be, on the boat about to make their get away," she said with a small smile.

"Umm, Seto what do you want the press release to say?" asked Mokuba into the radio after fighting for it from Clare.

Alexandra and Seto looked at each other, Seto had some small cuts on his face, and Alexandra had a few cuts on her arms, nothing major, and they both smiled at each other, "Just tell them the truth, Mokuba," Seto said into the radio as he looked at Alexandra.

"What would that be?" the younger brother asked. "Well, we can't tell them everything they would have a field day with that information about us, just tell them I will be taking back my company eventually until then… HEY GIVE THAT BACK," yelled Seto.

"You are such a baby Kaiba, gosh," said Alexandra. Seto's arm had been re bandaged, and Alexandra took the radio from Seto and sat on his lap, "How about this, just tell them that Alexandra Pegasus, and Seto Kaiba died, along with a snobby bitch by the name of Katharine Pegasus who was really the secret daughter of Gosaburo Kaiba. It's your choice Mokuba, Seto just made his," she said with a smile.

Seto took his hand and took the radio from Alexandra, "What?" she said, "oh and make sure our real last names don't get out, to them. I don't want to be known as Pegasus's nephew even though I am, and also don't put that I am in love it would ruin my loner reputation," he scolded into the radio. "I am not your freaking step cousin!" yelled Alexandra from the boat, which everyone heard.

Mokuba smirked, "You think I want that on my tombstone big brother, no duh, I won't let that get out," he said, "I will come up with something, oh and Kisara would like her sword back now, Alexandra"

Alexandra walked over to where the swords lay on floor of the boat and picked it up, "You still don't believe in fate?" she asked Seto. Seto crossed his arms and walked over to Alexandra, "I don't need fate, besides I make my own destiny. Always has been always will be," he said lifting Alexandra's head towards his and gave a rarely seen smile. Alexandra thought, 'He is still the same old Seto Kaiba and he hasn't changed a bit,' she sighed mentally.

Seto would like to be left alone for a while, and told me that his decision to either return as full time CEO or co owner is still up in the air.

Alec who was sitting in front of her TV in her parents' old bedroom clicking away started laughing, "Mokuba, you are such a liar," she said laughing at the TV. Seto walked in to the room, "What statement did the trouble maker put you this time?" he asked with a towel around his bare shoulders and shorts. Alec looked up from the TV, "Nothing much that hasn't been repeated on every channel out of my 255, for the last two days," she said, "just the part that Mokuba lied about was not having a clue where you are."

Seto shook his head, "Of course he knows where I am, he knows that I am up here with you," he said. Alexandra sighed, as she lay on her stomach on the bed, looking at the TV, "Yeah, he knows, wonder how, he is taking life with Rebecca now that they eloped," she said. Seto leaned against the wall, "Do you ever want to get married," he said.

Alexandra sat up looking at Seto bugged eyed, "Lets see marry a jackass, or make dinner, hmm, what do you think," she said. Seto chuckled, "Marry the jackass?" he said. Alexandra smirked, "Sorry already taken," she said as she went back to watching TV.

"NO your not," Seto said glaring at Alexandra.

"Word has reached the news ears that Alexandra Pegasus may be having a love affair with…" the TV reporter was cut by the sudden turning off, of the TV.

(A sudden CLICK and TV TURNED OFF)

"HEY I was watching that," snapped Alexandra, at Seto holding the remote. "And I want to go to bed," he said crawling into the blankets. Alexandra crossed her arms as she sat up, "And I want to watch TV give me that remote, besides this is my room remember," she snapped. Seto waved the remote at her, "And I have to share it with you, if you want it, then come and get it, Alec," he said waving it at her.

Alexandra growled, "SETO GIVE ME THE REMOTE," she yelled jumping at him nearly falling off the bed.

"My gosh you two are louder then Mokuba and Rebecca on a night when they were sleeping outside," said Kisara walking into the room, "Was I interrupting?" she asked seeing Alexandra and Seto on top of each other as if they were about to kiss.

"NO, Kisara, he just turned off, MY TV, stole MY remote, and trying to take MY SIDE OF THE BED," snapped Alexandra, reaching and Seto holding the remote, just out of reach of Alexandra with a small smirk on his face. "Oh boy, Kaiba give Alexandra the remote," said Kisara. "No, way and I am not…hey Alexandra, that's low even for you," said Seto, as Alexandra decided to play dirty by punching Seto in his hurt arm.

"I know, now give it too me…GOT IT," jumped Alexandra snatching the remote however Kisara was smirking as she was back over by the door already, and Alexandra was growling suddenly seeing that her remote had once again found its way into someone else's hands. "GIVE IT BACK KISARA," snapped Alexandra.

Kisara was waving the remote along with a small sword in he other hand, "You evil dragon lady," snapped Alexandra, "Give me that millennium sword TOO IT'S MINE." Kisara smiled, "good night Alexandra, Kaiba don't keep her up all night, you both have a big day tomorrow," she said heading out the door of the bedroom at super fast speed and shutting the door.

Alexandra jumped off the floor to attack and chase Kisara all over the house for her remote, however, Seto grabbed Alexandra around the waist and pulled her back to bed, "Oh no, you don't, your mine now," he said slowly kissing Alexandra's slender white neck causing the woman to moan. However, at the same time growling, Alexandra, was trying, to get away.

Alexandra growled trying to get the happy moment out of her head to focus on her goal of getting the remote back, "SETO! I want my remote back," she yelled struggling however slowly clamed down when Seto started nipping at her neck. "I hate it when you do that," said Alexandra calmly.

Atemu, who was in the kitchen looked at the laughing Kisara who walked over to him, "Oh please tell me you got it," he said with a small smile. Kisara smiled and waved the little remote at him, "Oh this yeah, now we can watch TV again, and I won the bet by the way," she said sitting down in the lazy boy. "Ha, ah, you have to hold that thing for the rest of the night a deal is a deal, so what are you going to watch," Atemu asked. Kisara smiled and turn on to an entertainment news show that Alexandra had clicked to before Seto stole the remote and turned off the TV, "Whatever Alec was watching in her room," she answered.

Atemu rolled his eyes, "That stuff, fine, I am going down stairs to finish playing cards with Joey, Mai and Yugi, want to come?" he asked Kisara. The white hair, blue eyed, and pale-skinned female shook her head, "Nah, I will come down later and play, Night Atemu, oh and go easy on all of them, you don't have to keep your rep as king of games anymore, to keep the shadow realm at bay," she said.

A thunderstorm had been brewing for several hours, outside the house on the hill suddenly the power went out. "OH MAN, SOME ONE GET ALEC TO TURN BACK ON THE POWER!" yelled Joey from down stairs.

Kisara sighed knowing that she had just lost the bet with Atem that she could steal the remote and watch TV all night before Alexandra would come and get it back, "I'll get her," she said walking over to Alexandra's bedroom door. "NO, WAY ALEC, NOT AGAIN," yelled Kaiba's voice from in side the room. "OH come on, Kaiba, it will be fun," said Alexandra voice.

"Not in front of the geeks, I told you that game is for you and me only, besides Atemu is sleeping in the bed now, Yugi and Joey are on the two pull out beds that were in the garage, and now located in the middle of the first level of the house," said Seto's voice. "Then why did you want to sleep in my room?" asked Alexandra's voice. Seto laughed suddenly, "WHY do you need to ask that question," said his voice.

"I am not your wife Seto, so the answer is no, we aren't doing that again," snapped Alexandra, "Besides, you told me that you didn't trust me anymore after I shot you." "Well if you had told me about your little plan I could have probably put on a better act," argued Kaiba's voice. "Well, if I told you about the plan you wouldn't have made my betrayal look so real now would it?" snapped Alexandra's voice. "Well excuse me, but I do recall you were the one who hit me on the head with a plant remember," Seto's voice argued back again. "Well, if you didn't hit me on the head with my magic 8 ball I probably would have made you leave but I wanted my moment of seeing you scared," shouted Alexandra's voice. "Well boo who, I wasn't afraid of you killing me, besides I know your aim and it's pretty lousy when your eyes are full of tears," retorted Seto's voice. (I hope you can all see where this is going right?)

"Ok you got me there, but I am not the one that walked around in Blue eyes white dragon boxers and then the next night ones with Dark Magicians on them!" said Alexandra's voice. "It would have been the blue eyes pair but some one, put mud in my pants, from a certain, horse back ride," yelled Seto's voice. "Well your still an over baring Jerk," snapped Alexandra's voice.

"Fine then, we aren't playing light up the dragons again," Seto retorted. Kisara put her hand over her mouth, "light up the dragons, wonder what game she is... oh Alexandra you tricky little glow freak, you have him wearing those boxers again, I should have known," she said with a giggle.

"Come on just one little round, if you win you don't have to sleep down stairs in the boxers in front of Joey and Yugi or Mai," said Alexandra. "NO, I am not playing, hey give me that flashlight, NO Alexandra not AGAIN," Seto's voice yelled then a sudden crash of thunder was heard outside.

"Hey Kisara what's taken so long?" asked Joey. Kisara walked down the oil lit room down stairs, "I think we better not disturb those two up there, they are having one of those moments, that I have been expecting for a while now," she said with a giggle.

Little Kisara and Joey know that Seto and Alexandra weren't even in the room, it was a tape player that they had set up just incase they didn't want to be disturbed. Right now, Alexandra was putting some revenge on her past form for taking the remote and Seto failed to stop for he helped in the capper by supplying the wire cutters. Seto was standing outside on the trace that ran around the second level of the house, with Alexandra in his arms; they knew the power had gone out however it wasn't because of the storm.

Alexandra held cable cutter in her hand and then placed them quietly on the porch, "There, if I can't watch TV, then no body can, nor games either," she said with a smile on her face. Seto shook his head, "You know your worst then me, right now that's just evil," he said. Alexandra smiled, "Sometimes, I think I am you, as if fate would have it, oh and you owe me a new magic 8 ball," she said with a glare. "Since were related I think you share a trait with me," he said.

Seto leaned into kiss Alexandra, "No were not," she said putting her figure on his lips and pushing Kaiba's head away from hers, "I want you to stop saying that, Kaiba. We aren't related, what so ever at least not by blood," said Alexandra. Seto rolled his eyes, "Look, what do you want me to say, sorry that were step cousins, besides you were adopted, Alec it doesn't work like that," he said. Alexandra sat on the bed letting the tape play in the background, "You know it's been a whole two days, since I found out, and yet, I am still drawn to you, however Katharine…" she started to say however, she shut her mouth.

"You know I will never understand why you stood up for her, tried to kill me, because she ordered it. Look it's been two days now, get over it, and besides wasn't part of your plan to get rid of Katharine like that?" he said standing at the sliding glass door. "Sort of not as crazy as it was, but, I … Look there was one, part because you… never mind," Alexandra said getting into bed, "night," she said rolling over and falling asleep she couldn't put the words together she was twitching.

Seto sighed, and shut the sliding glass door he wanted to be alone with his thoughts, he nearly escaped death a two days ago, he fallen in and out of love with his enemy's sister, no, dead enemy's sister sounded much better to him. However the thought still plaque him, "Should I go back to that working lonely life, one so boring and cold? Should I be Seto Kaiba the CEO of Kaiba Corp forever, I need answers, and I don't know where to look. However I am not letting fate make my choice," he asked the sky as the rain poured down on the house.

"WHAT LIGHT UP THE DRAGONS what kind of game is that?" yelled Joey from down stairs. "Great, Kisara told the mutt, about the boxer game," muttered Seto who heard Joey from the balcony. "It's your fault for wearing those," said Alexandra opening the glass door and changing it to the screen, so the room could air out. "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT BOUGHT THEM!" snapped Seto marching into the bedroom.

(Oh, I just couldn't resist that boxer joke)
