Accidentally In Love Chapter 19:There's no place like home 0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0
They stood in front of each other, jaws dropped on the floor. The strange man seemed to be amused, broke the silence.
"Now that you've met, I think it's time for the two of you the meaning of all this," the man paused to look each one of them in the eye "and your real reason to be here." with that, the hooded man turned and motioned them to follow him.
Seya looked at his Seya twin. The other's seem lost in thought and hadn't noticed him as they followed the man.
'He must be the one I've replaced from before. The Seya who's living the normal life that I've dreamed.' he smiled bitterly to himself. 'I hope he won't wind I changed a few things like setting his father back to his former boyfriend.'
The man stopped in front of a door. He looked at the two before opening it revealing another white room but this time, with four doors.
"It's time for your decisions. Choose which one of the worlds you've wanted but you must know, only one of you could exist in that world so you must come into an agreement where do you want to go. Before that, let me explain to you everything." At that, three chairs had materialized. He sat on the one facing the two seats. The two took that as invitation to sit down.
"You might be wondering why there's two Seyas right? I could answer that by quoting one of you, "Did it ever occur to you that I might not be the Seya you've helped raise? I know there's a Seya in this world, that Seya's not me."
"How did-" Seya started but was cut off by the man when he raised his hand.
"Let me finish first. Remember what I've told you before about the different realms and parallel worlds. These worlds, they are created through the combination of fate and free will. Ironic you'll say because how can you have free thinking when it was already fated that it would happen. Not really, because man WAS indeed given the will to think but he has limitations, that limitations was set by fate. A man without limitation could be called god but that would make him a higher being and not a man anymore. That's why there's fate because if man is not a man anymore, that would defeat the notion of being a human."
"What's that got to do with us?" the other Seya spoke up. Living under a home where the mumbo-shit was treated as nonesense, his logical mind failed to see the reason of all this. He had already made his decision so what's the use?
"Logical Seya...it's amazing to see someone who looks just like you but is acting the complete opposite of who you are. As for your question, in every situation, a lesson needs to be learned. I'm clearing a few things up so you won't be confused when I let the two of you decide." the man's voice sounded amused.
"It's more like disturbing." Seya shivered. Never in his entire life he had imagined himself being so much like...his father. He stopped dead in his tracks. This Seya, this is the one who had lived all his life with only Kaiba as a parent. He never experienced on how to be loved by Jou, his dad.
"Fine. Go on with your fairytales." the other Seya looked at him with the patented Kaiba Glare. The man nodded, continuing his piece.
"Now that Fate and free will had been cleared up, let me tell you about the parallel worlds. These worlds are created with decisions where fate and free will had to be combined. every decision like that creates two different worlds, one where that decision was made and the other's where that decision was revoked. In your case though, your worlds are created through someone else's free will because you're fated to change someone else's world."
"You mean...I was fated to go back in time and break them up?" Seya, wide eyes with the new knowledge.
"And that resulted for me to live in a world where I didn't feel another parent's love." a bitter tone could be heard on the other Seya's voice.
"I'm sorry. It was my selfishness that brought you into that world. And if I'm right at that, I can safely assume that you've gone back in time to make them up right? You're the one responsible for my parents to get back together...after I ruined it."
"Yes. But don't worry about it. I knew my father was unhappy and I wanted him to have his happiness back no matter what. Uncle Mokie mentioned that once he had a boyfriend but they broke up. He's the only person my father loved so I thought if I could get them back together, father would be happy. At that time, a man came to me and gave me a ring. He said that..."
"...it could turn back time. The hooded man gave it to me too. He said I could change the past. I didn't know it was really meant for me to change that past." they both turned to the man in front of them.
"I see that you've figured it all out. I think it was time for you to decide." At that the hooded man stood up.
He walked into the first door. "This door is the old present where your parents are happily married for twenty years. This is your world." he looked at Seya before going to the next one. "And this one is the door of the world in the old present where your parents are not together, each of them having their own lives. Your world." he turned to the other Seya before continuing.
At the third door, he said "This is a door leading to a new present. You've changed it when you got here and this is the result. The present wherein the relationship between a father and a son had changed."
And at the fourth," And last, this is a door leading to a new present where the once separated hearts are together again."
"Now decided, which door would you like to open."
The two Seya's looked at each other, what if they wanted the same door? What now?
The other Seya broke the stare and smiled his first genuine smile." I love the three days in your world but...I missed my father so much. You're not much close to him are you? But he's a really wonderful guy. I looked up to him the way I think you looked up to dad...your dad. I need to go back on my own world but I think I want to choose the new present. My world that you have changed."
Seya smiled. "I love the three days in your world too. I'm happy to feel close to father for just a short time. I know what I'm missing now, and I've come to accept what I have. I was blessed with a loving dad but that stopped me from being close to father. I think I wanted the new present too. The one you've changed too."
The hooded man nodded after hearing this. He motioned the logical Seya to the fourth door. "Good luck on your new present. Remember, three days had passed after I've given you the ring." He opened the door where the other Seya entered and was enveloped by a bright light. As the light ceased, he closed the door.
"As for you..." he opened the third door. "Like what I've said to him, by choosing the new present, three days had passed after I've given you the ring." Seya nodded and was about to enter the door when the man stooped him.
"One more thing, please tell your uncle Mokuba to give the box he had unearthed to Yami. He would know what to do with it and your uncle's fate in all of It." the hooded man gave him a shadowed smile. A smile he knew he had seen before.
"Okay. Thanks again...for everything." he then entered the light.

'Ouch...my head hurts.' once the spinning stopped, Seya looked around him. He was back in his old room. He hugged his BEUD plushie with delight. He was back!
He only had few seconds of enjoyment when someone knocked on the door. 'Must be dad.'
"Please come in." but it was not dad on the door but his father.
"Seya." at the greeting, his father sat on his desk chair.
"Father, am I in trouble?" 'I forgot to ask what happened while the other Seya was here. And I remember the third door as the door where a father and son's relationship had changed. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? WHAT DID HE DO?' Seya as he starts to panic.
"No, I'm here because of what you've said last evening." his father might have said he's not in trouble but his voice was really scary for Seya.
"What about it?" he dare ask.
"I've thought about it and I talked with your dad. We've come into a decision." 'Oh no! Maybe they're getting divorce or maybe yet, they're going to send me into a military boarding school!'
"Father I--" but he was cut off by his father.
"I think it is time for me to take a vacation. Kaiba corp. could do without me for about two months. Besides, I think the tomb ro-I mean your uncle Bakura and Uncle Honda could do run it just fine." Seya's eyes went wide. His father never trusted anyone besides his dad and uncle on running the corporation but now, he's trusting his uncles to run it by themselves.
"But why?"
"Just like what you've said last night. I need to set my priorities. I never knew that by drowning myself with work I have neglected my family. Forgive me, son." Seto patted Seya's shoulder.
Seya was happy. His father would take the time off from work and would spent it with his family. Just then a thought crossed his mind.
"Father...I knew I was a test tube baby. That I was one of the first that was ever created by the process Kaiba corp. had researched. But father...I knew that I came only from your DNA. That my dad isn't really my dad." he choke back the tears. The realization he had felt before came back full force. Jou wasn't his dad...and it pained him to know that fact.
"Who ever gave you that lie, Kaiba Seya!" his father was angered. "I'm your father as Jou was your dad! You've come from both our DNA that's why we're both your parents!" Seya was confused. If he's really from both their DNA, how did the other Seya looked a lot like him yet Jou wasn't his dad?
"You mean, Jou's really my dad?"
"Of course I'm your dad! Unless your father had kept another lover where he would get the other DNA, then you're my son." Jou appeared the doorway, looking at Seto with an apathetic expression.
"Dad!" Seya ran to his dad and hugged him. He had missed him so much. "I missed you!"
"You saw me just last night." Jou hugged him like a parent hug his child. "But I miss you too. You know you're my favorite son right?"
"I am your only son!" Seya countered. He always loves his banter with Jou.
"But I--" Jou was cut off with a cough. Seto looked at them with a wistful look but Jou ignored him.
"Seya, tell me what did your father told you this morning? I hope it's something WE both had agreed upon." Jou's stern look put him off track quite a bit.
"He told me that he uh-he..."
"I told him I would be taking a vacation off KC and that I would let the robber and spike head to take over it." Seto cut in. Jou looked at him with a disapproving look with his name-calling but patented Jou Smile soon replaced it.
"Fine. Now get here and hug us!" Jou opened his other arm for his husband. Seto took it and hug his family.
After a few minutes, Jou broke the embrace, now on his mother hen mode. "Seya, get ready. You still have school. And you, mister CEO, we need to tend on that bruise on your forehead." Jou ushered Seto out of the door.
"Why did father had a bruise, dad?" Seya asked his retreating parents. Kaiba mumbled about something that sounds like 'angered puppies with frying pans' but he disregarded it when his dad told him his father had bumped it with something hard last night. At that, his parents walked towards their room.
"But Jou, that stuff hurt like bitch!" Seto's voice was heard even when they closed the door. His dad's reply was faint but he knew that no matter what his dad had said, he would just kiss it better for his dragon.

At school, Seya had changed. He wasn't affected by the taunts anymore and he's always close to his best friend. Not having him on that future gave him a scare. He didn't want to lose any of his friends especially Yuki. He was surprised though to know that Ren had changed too. From the sweet image he had known, he's now a lot like his father Bakura. Aside from that, not much had changed.
"The karaoke night still on tonight Seya?" Daisuke asked.
"Yes. Be sure to take your parents, ok? The two of them." he eyed Ren.
"But dad would forbid me to drink...that's fine. Father and I could get him drunk."
"Enough about that Ren. Now about our history exam..." Yuki cut in. Seya just looked at them while they had a friendly banter. He's happy. Really happy.

"Someone please shut that tomb robber up!" Yami exclaimed as Bakura belted out the last line of 'I will survive.' Yugi calmed him, saying that Ryou would be sad if he send Bakura to the shadow realm.
Serenity and Jou was busy exchanging recipes while Seto and Ryou was engaged in a chess match. The teens are busy playing go fish with Ren as the current winner. Honda's the only one that's not busy so he's the only one who noticed that someone was at the door.
As he opened it, it revealed Mokuba and the Ishtars.
"Uncle Mokuba!" Seya broke from the circle and everyone turned to the door.
"Big brothers! Seya!" he hugged his nephew before going to Seto and Jou. "I've missed you all!"
"And we miss you too, right pup?" Seto turned to Jou.
"Right. Hey, you've brought the Ishtars too!" Jou hugged Mokuba before going to Malik and Marik.
"We missed you guys!" Yugi hugged them both before turning to their sons. "And how are the twins?"
"We're fine uncle Yugi." Vincent answered. His twin just nodded.
"Now that we're all together, how about some more Karaoke?" Serenity piped in. "Good idea sis!" Jou led them all to the Den where Yami's trying to pull the mic from Bakura.
"As long as the tomb robber won't sing, we could all enjoy the Karaoke."
"Baka Pharaoh. You just want to sing for your darling Aibou. What you don't know is that you sing worst than me and the midget just listens because he loves you." Bakura mocked.
"Why you little..." Before they could stop it, Yami lounged at Bakura.
0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0
After the quarrel, they all settled on the Den with Yami and Bakura on the opposite side of the room. They didn't knew that Yami was on the edge that day because he felt some shadow powers and it had upset him. But it was faint now and he doesn't want to be a party popper or Yugi would get angry with him.
"How about we draw random numbers and let a couple sing it? Since it's Jou's and Kaiba's home, they should be the first." Honda said infront of them.
"Alright! Come one Seto...let's sing!" an excited Jou pulled one reluctant CEO. Since Seto wouldn't budge, Jou gave him the ultimatum. "Or is the great Kaiba Seto afraid of singing?"
That sealed it and Seto marched infront of Jou, grabbing the mic from Honda. Jou just grinned giving the others the thumbs up. The others cheered for them giving catcalls and applauses.
On the other end of the room, Seya and Mokuba were leaning at the wall. As the song accidentally in love was aired, both of them smiled.
"Did you know that it's the very same song that started it between your father and dad?" Mokuba started.
"Yeah..."Seya remembering the Karaoke night from the past.
"They broke up once too. But someone named Seya that made him or her go back together. He used that song to bring them back together." At that, Seya was baffled. It was indeed the other Seya's fate to bring his parents back together. He now wonders who helped the other Seya...
"Yes. Even though it was his fault at the first place, he stopped my brother from accepting the Moon dance project and made him see that he and Seto-Niisama are meant for each other. he doesn't want for them to be separated and made lonely for the rest of their lives." Serenity joined their conversation. She gave a knowing smile that answered Seya's previous question.
"I'm glad...that he did it. If not for him, I wouldn't have this. My family. Not just my parents but also all of you. Every one of you is part of my family. Thank you." Seya hugged his uncle and Aunt before turning on their parents.
Jou and Set were looking at each other, their love reflected on their eyes.
0/We're accidentally in love/0
Not really...it was fated that they fall inlove with each other. Their son however all accidentally created the circumstances.
"Oh yeah Uncle Mokie, you should ask Yami about the box you've found from the pyramids. He could greatly help you on finding out its purpose."
"Uncle Mokie?"

rubisora18117- Thank you. I hope you liked the ending. I tried not to give hints on the two Seyas so I haven't answered any questions the readers asked from before. :D
anaraz- sorry! I knew I put you on the very top but I must've missed it when I copy pasted it from the notepad into the profile. Sorry! I hope you're not angry! gives a big Seto plushie
...- sorry for hurting your brain. I didn't mean to. Yes, you're right, it's one big paradox. Time travel really fascinates me but I knew that there are consequences if I change the past so I try to justify all those paradoxes in my story. Thank you for the review. :D
Chiyoku Shibata- Thank you! I'm sad too because I love writing this story (yeah, esp. playing with Jou and Seto as they go through the clutches of evil seya. hehehe). If anyone would take my idea and re-do my story, they should ask me first. I'm not selfish but I want to know if someone would took it. I worked hard for this and someone who'll just take without asking would really make me sad and angry. Thank you again:D
clarity- yeah, I like authors who acknowledge me too. It made me feel good. A friend told me to ask FF but they haven't answered me yet. So I replied to the reviews the same way I used to, through my stories. Oh yeah, the past chapter is the reason I haven't answered all your questions from before. I know its annoying but I'm glad you had stayed till the end even though I did that. Thank you:D
svakee2000- Thanks! even though you didn't like the pairing that much, I'm glad you've read my story. I like SetoSerenity too but I'm more on SetoJou, they're fun to read because they're not your average fluffy couple. You're not dying...uh...think of it as a break from the norm. :D Thanks again!
FireieGurl- Thanks. Sadly, this is the end but there's still the epilouge:D
mechante fille- Thanks! Like what I've said from one review, I tried not to give hints so I didn't answer some qeustions that was asked on the earlier chapters. Thanks again:D
pixiestickchild- Thank you very much:D
HellsEternalFlame- Thank you very much:D
mandapandabug- Thanks! I hope this chapter answered your questions. As for batman, i've yet to read it but once I've updated this chapter, I'll read it and review. Instinct there's going to be a twist there, can't wait to read it! Thank you again:D
1x2 kaijou child- gasps really! I'm glad I had a fellow Filipino here. A friend writer told me not to put my citizenship because I could lose some readers but I didn't listen. We should be proud on who we are because it's our nationality. Yep, we had that unfortunate scarcity of manga and doujinshis. But I know there's this store that sells vcds and dvds and they had some yaoi/shone-ai stuff there. My cousin was a frequent visitor but I've yet to see the place. That's where he got the complete set of Gravitation dvds and some Kyou kara Maou (gotta love it!). I'll ask him where it is and I'll e-mail it to you. Thank you! P.S. Are you from Manila:D
