A/N: HI! This is KuroSakura-chan! I've totally, well almost totally, recovered from my meltdown! I thank anyone that had been worried about me, if there was anyone worried…
Ishigami: Anyway, this is chapter three of MELTING OF THE HEART and Satoya is nowhere to be found right now.
Me: Have you checked with Croix?
Ishigami: No. And I won't.
Me: You're mean to that poor boy.
Ishigami: He swore around Ekkaia!
Me: Oh well! Deal with it! Thank you, my reviewers:
Chinese Fairy: Very sorry! I've been very busy! Here's my update, I hope that it keeps you from sending Haku after me! hides from anger behind Ishigami.
Aseret Kitsune: I really hope that you reviewed for this chapter because I'd feel really dumb if you didn't... Thanks!

When Satoya woke up the next morning, he saw that an outfit had been lain out for him. As soon as he pulled it on, there was a knock on the door.
"Uhh… Come in…?" he said hesitantly. A young girl stepped in.
"Hello, sir. My name is Leana and I'll be taking you shopping. Kaiba-san said to be sure you get a good amount of outfits." The girl, Leana, said while smiling.
The girl's long, brown hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail. She wore a baby-blue, v-neck T-shirt and dark, navy-blue jeans. For shoes, she wore black, heeled boots. She put a hand on her hip.
"Are you ready or would you like me to help you do something with your hair?" she offered, motioning to his hair. Satoya noticed that she had a heavy accent.
"Would you help?" he asked her. She laughed and walked over.
"Braid?" he nodded. "Kaiba-san didn't tell me your name…"
"Satoya." He told her. "Leana, where did you come from? You have an accent…" She laughed again.
"I was born in America. I came to Japan a couple of years ago for schooling. But I ran out of money and Kaiba-san was looking for a new maid and he pays well so… Here I am! Oh, we're done." She stated, stepping back from him.
He stood and admired her handiwork. He smiled, liking how she braided it. He looked up at her and noticed that she was holding shoes for him. He took them and pulled them on.
"Oh! I forgot! We are supposed to meet Ryou-kun! Come on, we're gonna be late!" she grabbed his hand and pulled him out.
She didn't quit pulling him until they found a white-haired boy standing by a store. The boy looked up and smiled when he saw Leana.
"I thought that you'd forgotten me, Leana-chan!" he said.
"I'm sorry, Ryou-kun! We had to do something about his hair. Oh! Ryou-kun, this is Satoya-san. Satoya-san, Ryou-kun." She introduced them. Satoya and Ryou bowed to each other.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ryou-san." Satoya said.
"It is an equal pleasure to actually speak with you. When we last met, you were sleeping. Has Kaiba treated you well?" Ryou asked.
"Hey! No bad talking about him! He's my boss!" Leana protested the impending conversation.
"Ok, ok!" Ryou held his hands up in defeat.
"Well, let's go get this shopping started." Leana prodded the two boys.
While they were shopping, Leana started getting frustrated. No matter what she and Ryou did, Satoya always picked white clothing. She finally threw down her latest choice and turned to Ryou.
"That's it! Get Bakura and Malik!" she shouted at him. Ryou's eyes widened.
"You want-"
"Get them!" she ordered.
He nodded and closed his eyes. After a minute, he opened them and pulled out a cell phone. He dialed a number. As he began speaking into it, another white-haired boy appeared next to him. Ryou hung up with the other person.
"Well?" Leana asked.
"He'll meet us there in two minutes. He just got into the mall." Ryou answered.
"Good. Bakura, meet Satoya. He's your project. He normally only wears white. You think you could do something to catch him a date?" Leana asked, purchasing the clothes they'd picked out.
"Girl or guy?" he asked her.
"Ask him." she answered. Bakura looked at Satoya.
"Either…" he said quietly. His family would disown him for that comment. Bakura's grin widened.
"This is going to be fun."
…
This comment was mirrored by Malik when he learned all the details. Malik grabbed Satoya's left arm and Bakura grabbed his right. They dragged him into their favorite store: Hot Topic. Ryou looked at Leana.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" he asked her.
"Mokuba-san is having Kaiba-san take everyone dancing. Satoya's birthday is tomorrow so he told be to make sure he had a good clubbing outfit. Only way for me to do that: Malik and Bakura." She answered.
"Ryou! Leana! Get in here!" Malik yelled. They sighed and walked in.
Malik and Bakura had so much fun with Satoya that they decided to dress Leana and Ryou as well. After their hours of shopping, they decided to get some ice cream. As Leana ate her sundae, she glanced at her watch and swore.
"Sorry, guys, we gotta run. Kaiba-san wants us home in half an hour." She said, standing.
"Ah, screw Kaiba!" Malik said, smearing some ice cream on Ryou.
"Yeah, he's a bastard!" Bakura proclaimed.
"He's also my boss." Leana reminded them.
"Oh yeah…" the two murmured. Ryou waved as Leana and Satoya walked away.
