Yay! I have the next chapter! Well, actually I had it done last week but I wasn't near a good computer! So, here's chapter 6! Enjoy!

The next morning Kiseki had to drag herself out of bed, though she didn't need to get changed, for she had fallen asleep in her uniform. Sitting up, she glowered slightly at the wall, but she felt much better compared to the night before. Sleep always seemed to help with that sort of thing. Getting up, she got ready and headed out with the now heavy schoolbag; getting to school early was a sort of necessity since she had forgotten to do her homework the previous night. She arrived at about the same time as she had the day before, meaning she saw Seto as well.

The same limo she had seen was in front of the school and he was making his way towards the building when she got there, so she quickly hid behind a tree in case he decided to turn around for some random reason. He did not, however, and she waited until the limo was out of sight as well before she emerged again, her heart pounding slightly in her chest. She started towards the school then, before she remembered that his locker was in a direct line of view from the front door. Pausing, she walked into the gates and then set her bag down on the concrete, then sitting beside it and leaning her back against the wall. She took out her little bit of unfinished homework and began to do it, a light wind rustling her clothes every now and then.

As it so happened, two others had decided to show up early as well. Jonouchi had some homework he had missed the day before that he needed to pick up, and Shizuka had just decided to tag along and keep him company, being the nice person she was. When they came in the gates, Shizuka noticed Kiseki sitting by herself, writing, and she tugged on her brother's shirt sleeve.

"Jikei-kun, it's Kiseki," she said quietly, pointing. "Think she's ok? From yesterday I mean."

Jonouchi turned his head slightly to look, but turned away just as fast. "I have to get my work, imoutosan." And he walked forth into the building, leaving her staring blankly after him. She shrugged and turned to Kiseki again, clutching her books to her. As she came towards her, Kiseki's pencil stopped in its careful writing, though she did not look up.

"Hey, Kiseki-kun!" said Shizuka happily, tilting her head to one side and smiling warmly.

Kiseki froze for a moment at her voice, but she recovered and looked up at the auburn-haired girl. A small smile found its way to her lips, but no sound came out.

"Me and everyone else saw what happened yesterday; I wanted to see whether you were ok," said Shizuka without any hesitation, giving Kiseki a somewhat imploring look.

The blue-haired girl looked away for a moment at nothing in particular across the way. She saw it... perfect... She turned her eyes upon the girl again and nodded slightly. "Yeah... yeah I'm fine... he just scared me is all."

"I'd be scared too if he grabbed me like that," she affirmed with a slight shudder. "What did he want anyway?"

Kiseki paused again before responding. Shizuka looked even prettier now in the morning light, and the fact that she was concerned about her... "A card I got..." she murmured.

"Really? Wow, it must be pretty powerful then, huh?" She knelt down beside Kiseki and put her books beside her. When Kiseki nodded silently again, she went on. "May I see it?"

Again, the blue-eyed girl hesitated. She became slightly frustrated with herself for making herself look slow and dim-witted in front of Shizuka, but she had a reason to stop this time. If she showed Shizuka... the whole school would find out, including Kaiba... The chocolate-eyed girl placed a hand on Kiseki's arm.

"If you don't want to, it's fine; I'm just curious," she said kindly.

A slight blush found its way to Kiseki's cheeks at Shizuka's touch. "...I...I..." She couldn't get the words out at all. She shook her head slightly, then reaching hesitantly into her bag. After a moment of rummaging, she pulled out the card and gazed at it a moment before turning it slightly to show Shizuka. The brown-haired girl leaned forward, some of her soft hair falling upon Kiseki's shoulder as she looked at it.

"Wow, that's a pretty awesome card, no wonder you don't want to give it to him," she said, smiling. "Your deck must be pretty powerful if you have something like that in it."

"I...don't have a deck," muttered Kiseki, putting the card back.

"Oh! Well..." Shizuka squinted her eyes at Kiseki. "Then why don't you give it to him if you're not going to use it?"

"Because I like it... Ever since I first saw it, I've felt like... like I never want to give it up, especially not to someone like that who'd just use it to gain power."

"Yeah, Kaiba's kinda like that sometimes. You should have seen him in the Battle City Finals last year," said Shizuka with a laugh. It sounded sweet in Kiseki's ears, and she drew in her breath slightly. "Well, I should probably get going; my brother won't want me talking to the person who hit him with a door," she said with a smile, picking up her books and standing. "Though it was kinda funny hearing about it. Let me know if you need to talk or something, ok?"

Kiseki nodded, though the smile she had slightly faltered as the auburn-haired girl spoke those words. Kiseki had heard them before and wasn't about to trust anyone who said them to her. Shizuka waved to her and then turned to the school, the wind blowing her hair gracefully to the side. When she was about halfway there, Kiseki thought of something and called after her, sitting up.

"Shizuka--"

"Hm?" She turned around and looked at Kiseki.

"...please don't tell anyone about the card."

She was slightly confused by the request, but nodded and smiled reassuringly, turning back around to continue on her way. Right as Kiseki was about to refocus her attention onto her homework, a particularly large gust blew by and accidentally caused Shizuka's skirt to fly up in the back. She yelped slightly and turned back to Kiseki, putting a hand behind her to stay the ruffling fabric. "Sorry about that!" she called.

The blue-haired girl didn't respond; it had happened so suddenly that her mind had told her body to kindly go and jump in a lake; she couldn't think. As Shizuka continued on into the school, Kiseki remained still as her cheeks flushed even more. That was... Her mind refused to make a mental connection with that and a word. After a moment, however, she blinked and shook her head fervently. I am such a pervert... she thought to herself, shoving her books into her bag.

Meanwhile inside the school, Jonouchi and Seto had a run in. As soon as the blonde walked in the front doors, Seto turned his gaze from his locker to him, his eyes narrowing as soon as they were set. "What are you doing here so early, mutt?" he growled.

"Like I'd tell you, Kaiba," said Jonouchi, coming forward; his classroom was just down the hallway of Seto's locker.

"I'm surprised I don't see your ditz of a sister skipping along behind you; what happened? Couldn't get her leash undone this morning?"

"For your information, she's outside talking to the girl you harassed yesterday," he replied, stopping to prod a finger in the middle of Seto's chest. "We saw that whole thing, why don't you leave the poor girl alone?"

Seto immediately grabbed Jonouchi's wrist and twisted it back, making the brown-eyed boy grimace. "Don't touch me, mutt," Seto said coldly. "And I don't need you telling me what you think is right; the only advice people can trust you for is about what foods to stay away from." He let go of Jonouchi's hand and roughly pushed him away from himself, then turning to slam his locker shut and pick up his briefcase. As he walked down the hallway towards his classroom, Jonouchi shouted after him.

"Good luck trying to get that off your conscience, Kaiba! You won't be able to stop thinking about her until you stop messing with her head and hunt her down and take that card!" And with that, he walked into his classroom.

Seto snickered to himself as he walked away, Jonouchi's last statement echoing down the empty hallway. Indeed, he was right about one small thing, he thought to himself. I didn't stop thinking about her at all when I left...

The night before, he had stayed up extremely late in his office building, looking in every possible place for something about the new card. The only thing that he found was a small hint that Pegasus J. Crawford had created another card from the tablet that held the power of the three Egyptian God cards, though it did not mention what it was, nor what it did. After 11, Seto became slightly frustrated and decided to go home. The limo driver had fallen asleep, but after a sharp rap on the window and a scolding, he had woken up and started to drive Seto back to his mansion.

As soon as they reached the front wrought iron gate, the driver leaned out the window of the car to slide a security card through the small number pad next to it before punching in a code, making the gate creak open. At this, the CEO scolded the driver again about not keeping the hinges oiled enough and coldly reminded him that he would lose his job if he let it happen again. When the limo arrived at the front of the house, Seto stepped out and the driver left, following the circle drive around to go park in a separate area on the grounds. Taking out a key, Seto unlocked the large oak front door of his mansion, then stepping inside quietly. The lights were off because it was so late at night, but Seto knew his way around like the back of his hand, so he merely used the small amount of moonlight that was seeping in through the windows. He didn't make it too far, however, when suddenly something slammed into his midsection.

He stumbled back slightly, shocked, before he realised that whatever it was was hugging him tightly and from somewhere about his navel a small squeak reached his ears. "Heya Seto!"

"Mokuba, what are you doing up?" asked Seto, still standing rather awkwardly, as his brother had not let go of him yet.

The younger boy gave his brother an extra squeeze before finally releasing his grip. "You know I can't go to sleep until you're home, Seto," he said with a smile, the moonlight shining off his bright eyes and dark hair.

"How did you get Tsuke to let you stay up?" the tall one asked with a slight smirk. "You know how fussy she gets when you don't get enough sleep; you'd think she was your mother or something."

"You'd be surprised how easily maids can be... persuaded," chuckled Mokuba, pulling out his wallet and showing Seto how empty it was.

At this Seto scowled slightly. "That was your allowance; you couldn't have just pretended to sleep?"

"Now where would the fun be in that? Just goes to show the types of people you decide to leave me with, Seto," said the little one, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Well, would you like to fire this one?" asked Seto, leaning down to ruffle his little brother's hair.

"Nah, I know how much you enjoy yelling at people; you can do it," said Mokuba, grinning. "So why'd you come home so late?"

"I was researching a new card," he replied, starting towards the staircase.

"Oh really? Wow! What's this one like, Seto?" The younger Kaiba brother started nearly jumping around Seto as they ascended the stairs together. "Is it more powerful than the God cards or what?"

"That's precisely what I was trying to find out, Mokuba," he growled out slightly. "I've no idea what it is nor what it does."

"Then how do you know it exists? Did you see it or what?" The younger boy could barely hold in his excitement as they reached the top of the stairs; Seto slightly smirked at him before responding.

"I haven't seen it, but the little runt Yugi has. And I've met the person who has it as well."

"I'm sure you'll get it from them one way or another, Seto," said Mokuba, giving him a thumbs-up. "Lemme know if you need any help in getting them to duel you for it, alright?"

Seto nodded and then changed his tone to one of slight authority. "Now you should get to bed, Mokuba; you do have school tomorrow, as do I."

"Aww come on, Seto, can't I stay up?"

"No."

"Pleeeeeease?" He made his eyes big and shiny in an attempt at a puppy face, but Seto was unfased.

"Go to bed, Mokuba."

The black-haired boy pouted and walked down the hallway toward his room, stopping only to stick his tongue out at Seto before he shut his door. Seto chuckled slightly at this before going to his own room and taking off his trench coat, throwing it on his bed before walking into the bathroom to wash up. When he got in there, however, he surveyed himself in the mirror, his hands gripping the sides of the sink as he leaned forward slightly to look himself in the eye. His mind began to wander onto Kiseki as his azure eyes narrowed. I have to see that card, at least to know everything it does to see if it's even powerful enough to be in my deck... He smirked as he watched himself straighten back up to his full height. She's afraid of me... if she doesn't show me soon I may have to... persuade her a little bit...

Seto was brought sharply back down to Earth when he heard the front door of the school opening, and he stopped reminiscing about the night before to focus on the person now walking inside. It was Shizuka, and she came towards him, though somewhat hesitantly.

"Hey, Kaiba, did you see where my brother went?" she asked.

"Like it's my job to keep track of that mutt," he growled back.

"Kaiba, please don't call him that," she said, looking slightly angry. "You're always so mean to everyone, especially Kiseki, and she just got here!"

"Speaking of Akai," he said, stepping toward her. "I heard you were having a nice little chat with her. Find out anything interesting?"

Shizuka took a step back from him, holding her books to herself. "I--I was just seeing how she was doing, that's all."

He smirked at this. "To me it looks like she told you more than that. Am I right?"

She swallowed slightly. I can't tell him... she asked me not to tell anybody, but she seemed to not want Kaiba to know most of all... "She didn't tell me anything except that you've been scaring her, Kaiba," she said quietly.

"I already knew that, Katsuya," he hissed at her. "She showed you the card, didn't she?"

Her eyes went wide; he had caught her already. At that moment, however, Jonouchi opened up the door to his classroom with a homework sheet clutched in his hand, and Shizuka took the opportunity to brush past Kaiba to go to him. As the two siblings met up, Seto's grip on his briefcase tightened considerably out of anger, but he immediately released it as a slight realisation reached him. The front door of the school opened at that moment and he turned to see Kiseki coming in, a slight smirk forming on his face.

You have given me another source for information, kohai, he thought malevolently as she came forward.

She barely glanced at Seto as she walked in, but it was enough to frighten her slightly. She didn't like the look that he was giving her one bit, and she had to keep herself from nearly running down the hallway towards her classroom. Though she was saved from slightly humiliating herself by the two Katsuya siblings, who saw her and hurriedly intervened. Jonouchi had seen how Kaiba had started to act and he had actually started feeling somewhat sympathetic towards the girl of his tormenting.

"Hey Kiseki, I'm going to walk Shizuka to class, want to come with?" he called to her.

Kiseki felt a little hesitant to walk with them, as she felt nervous talking to the boy who hadn't exactly warmed up to her ever since she embarrassed him on her first day, but considering Shizuka's classroom appeared to be in the opposite direction of hers and Seto's first class, she obliged more than happily and passed by the tall CEO to join up with them. Shizuka gave her a smile and gently put a hand on Kiseki's back as she threw a slightly worried look back at Seto before they started down the hallway and away from him.

He immediately turned away and walked towards his classroom, but not before noticing that Kiseki had blushed as Shizuka's hand had made contact with her. That's why she showed her... it looks like the little kohai has found a crush, he snickered to himself. Though I wonder how much she's willing to show it.

Not very soon after, he was in the classroom, typing away, and as Kiseki came in, followed by Jonouchi, devious plans had begun to form in his head... plans to get her to show him the card... to get her to give it to him... Though as he carefully selected the first to put into action, he had no idea how much of an effect they would have on the girl...
