Chapter 6 : The Kiss
Asuka was sitting on the sofa in the waiting room. She waited patiently although her patience was growing thinner by the minutes. Finally, a woman came into the room and said Mr. Maximillion Pegasus is ready to see her. 'Why can he just see me? Why does he have to be ''ready' to see me?." The waiting annoyed Asuka. 'I should break into his office like I did at KC but unfortunately this time; I have no time to play around.
Asuka entered the huge office. Pegasus was sitting at his desk, looking very much in control. ' I should really break in. Hate seeing egoistic people like this.' Asuka walked to his desk and sat on the chair, facing him. " I was told you have something 'intriguing' for me." Asuka nodded. She reached into her pocket and pull out the CD. " Tke a look at this and tell me if you're interested." Asuka threw the CD on the desk and walked away. " I'll come back tomorrow to hear about it," Asuka was about to exit when Pegasus said something that made her paused. " My, my. You're a straightforward person. Are you in some kind of hurry?." Asuka said nothing and leaved.
Pegasus looked at the CD on his desk. He decided to check on it later. 'I'll take a look when I go home.' Pegasus wondered who was that girl. " No name, no id, none whatsoever. What is she's up to? The content of the CD must be valuable enough that she skip all the intro part." Pegasus stared outside the window. He saw the girl walking down the street. " You managed to get my attention. Let's see what you're planning o do next." He smiled, and kept watching her till she disappeared from his view.
Asuka threw herself on the bed. She was in her hotel room. " Lots had happened and there will be more to come." Asuka sighed. " Why the hell I'm I doing this," she screamed at the top of her lung. An image of her father floated in her mind. " It's not because of you, old man…," she mumbled. An image of a young man, slightly older from her appeared. " Yes..I'm doing this for you. I need to find the answer why are you doing all this. And the answer lies in the code……" Asuka dozed off.
Everything around her was black. She couldn't see anything. Suddenly, she saw light at a corner. She dashed to it but the light fade away before she could reached it. She waited, looking around for another one. She saw another one. She tried to grab it but it fade away. She repeated doing it. Grabbing but it fade away. Until, she saw the brightest of all lights. She grabbed it. It didn't fade way. She whirled into another place.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in a forest. She stood up and saw him. The guy from before, the reason she was doing all the impossible. He was holding a gun and he aimed the gun at her. ' No! Not again! It's always been the same dream over and over again…No! Next, he'lls hoot me. No!.' Asuka knew what will happen next. A gun shoot was heard. Asuka closed her eyes. She didn't felel anything so she opene her eye. There was another man standing in front of her. He took the bullet for her. The man turned around. Asuka gasped. He knew the guy.
It was Seto Kaiba. Seto smiled before he fell to the ground. Asuka knelt beside him. He was bleeding badly. Asuka placed her hand on her wound. She could feel the blood seeping through her finger. Her view was blurry because of her tears. What she feared the most happen. Seto finally closed his eyes. Asuka screamed like mad….
Cold sweat was trickling on her forehead. She was panting heavily. She sat up straight on her bed. Her clothes were wet with sweats. She looked around. She was still in her hotel room. Asuka tried to calm herself. She raised her hands to her face, covering them. Her hands were trembling with fear. She remembered vividly what she dreamt.
Quickly, she changed her clothes and walked out from the hotel. ' I need to see him. Just to make sure. Just to be sure that he's alright…' Asuka quicken her pace and headed towards the Kaiba mansion.
Seto was having trouble sleeping so he went to the kitchen to drink. To his surprise, Mokuba was at the table, a glass of milk in front of him. Mokuba was staring outside, not realizing his brother was there. Seto took a bottle of mineral water from the fridge and sat in front of his little brother. Only then Mokuba noticed. Seto took a sip and watched Mokuba. ' Something is troubling you Mokuba…," Seto started. "It's the same thing that troubles you brother," Mokuba replied slowly. Seto raised his eyebrows. " Yeah? You know what troubles me," Seto tested. " It's about Asuka-neechan right?."
Seto nodded slowly. Silence fell. " Damn it," Seto yelled and throw the bottle across the room. " Why is this happening? We barely new her but she had yhis kind of effect on us? Damn that girl," Seto yelled and covered his face with his hand. Mokuba said nothing. He looked very calm and mature while his brother acted like a child. " She's like a strom. She came without warning and she left without goodbye. Yet, we know she was here. Her effect is deep in us…" Mokuba left the kitchen and headed back to his room.
Seto was taken aback by his brother's word. Then he started to chuckle. " Storm huh?." Seto smiled and walked to the window. " I guess she is a storm…." Seto watched the night sky. " Hard to believe that kind of words came from Mokuba instead of you…" " Yeah..,' Seto replied. Only then he realized. He looked around to finf the owner of the voice. " Up here!." Seto let his head out of the window and saw Asuka was sitting on the on the outside part on the window. Asuka took no notice of him and let herself in. She slid in like a cat. Asuka ignored the flabbergasted Seto.
Asuka sat on the chair and stared at Seto. Seto walked towards the table and sit in front of her. " There's an invention called 'the door', you know," Seto started. Asuka shrugged. " I like the thing called 'breaking an entrance' better than ' the door'," Asuka replied. Seto smiled but Asuka remained as cold as before. " Why are you here," Seto asked gently. He was glad to see her again. " I need to confirm something so I came here. Now that I've confirmed it, I'm leaving," Asuka ended the conversation and walked towards the window.
Seto was not going to let her walk away.'No! Not again!." Seto grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him. Asuka struggled to escape. Seto harden his grip. Finally, Asuka stopped. " What do you want from me," she yelled to his face. Seto looked at the angry girl. There was fire in her eyes. Her face was red, trying to restrain her fury. Seto knew he liked her, he wanted her to be with him.
" Let me go! What do you want……..," Asuka stopped when she felt Seto's lips on hers. At that very moment she melted. Her knees wobbled. Only Seto's hand at her waist was holding her from falling to the ground. Seto's kiss grew deeper when Asuka kissed him back. They were in ecstasy for a few minutes when a thought hit Asuka and she pulled away. Asuka took a few steps backward before she fell, kneeling to the ground. Asuka cried. Seto saw her tears dropped and ran to her direction but Asuka was quit. She managed to run to the window before Seto reached her.Seto watched as Asuka disappeared in the darkness of night.
