A/N: Well, this wasn't exactly what I had planned for chapter 22 but after SEVERAL nights of dreaming this as my next chapter, I had no choice but to put it in. Besides, it's a lot better than what I had originally planned on… ;; PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I KNOW WHAT I HAVE PLANNED SO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!

Thanks:

kagome-princess: Yeah, it is sad, isn't it. Him being afraid of thunderstorms... (stifles a laugh as Satoya glares) Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! The girl Sarah was just created for this story. She does not really exist. I do not claim the torture that I'm about to bestow, I blame Ishigami.

After the night of the thunderstorm, Seto and Satoya spent much time together. They went out on date after date, pissing Bakura and Marik off, and got to know each other very well. Even Mokuba became slightly jealous of all the time that Satoya was spending with Seto!

It was a regular day, Satoya visiting at Seto's mansion, when everything came crashing down. The doorbell had rung and Satoya had jumped up to answer it.

"Hello?" he chirped when he opened the door.

"Who the hell are you? Oh, you must be one of Seto's butlers… I would've thought that you'd be wearing a uniform…" the girl that had rung the bell said snobbishly. Her hair was dyed black, the dying was horrible, you could tell that it wasn't real, and her skin was obviously Shake-n-Bake. She wore way too much makeup and not enough clothing. She wore sandals that she obviously couldn't walk in and had on way too much perfume. Satoya wrinkled his nose at the smell.

"Who are you? I'm not one of Seto-kun's servants…" Satoya said before noticing the man standing behind her. He blinked at the man, who smiled slightly.

"I apologize for my sister. She hasn't seen her crush in many months. Anyway, is Leana Fairchild here?" the man asked. Satoya nodded.

"Leana! Someone's here for you!" Satoya called out. Leana ran up and squealed.

"Chaz! Oh, gods, I've missed you!" Leana tackled the man and he barely managed to hold them up.

"I missed you too…"

And now, back to our regular characters…

"Seto…" the girl purred, seeing him come up behind Satoya.

"Sarah, what are you doing in Japan?" Seto asked, his face displaying shock which Satoya missed.

"I came to see you, of course. And, my brother wanted to see Leana. You knew that they're engaged. Now, how much did you miss your fiancé? I missed you so much! America was SO boring without you!" she pushed Satoya aside and ran toward Seto. Seto tried to escape her hug-of-doom but was caught.

Satoya had lost his balance from being pushed aside and fell onto the floor. He looked up to see Sarah cradling Seto and Seto looking down at her. Satoya watched Seto's arms go up and he looked down. He had known that there would be no place for him in Seto's life but… Seto had… Had made him feel like he had a place… But now he knew the truth.

Seto finally managed to dislodge Sarah from his waist and held her an arm's length away. He looked over to see how Satoya was after that vicious shove but he wasn't there. Seto became confused. Wasn't Satoya just there? What happened? Why'd he leave?

"Seto, pay attention to me!" Sarah wailed at him. He looked down at her.

"What the hell do you want?" he asked her.

"Seto, I'm your fiancé! Why won't you hold me?" she started to sob. Seto wanted to vomit.

"I am not your fiancé, and no matter how many times you say it, it'll never be that way. I have someone else in my life now. Do I make myself clear?" he said harshly.

"What little slut-" she was cut off by him slapping her.

"Don't you EVER call Satoya a slut again." he said in a low, dangerous tone.

In Ryou's house…

"Satoya, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Ryou asked, concerned about why his friend showed up with tears rolling down his cheeks. Malik took this moment to show up.

"Who's the chic and dude at Kaiba's?" he asked, clueless.

"H-His fiancé…" Satoya sobbed.

Malik and Ryou stood dumbfounded.

"His fiancé? Since when has Kaiba had a fiancé?" Malik asked. Satoya shrugged as Ryou led him to a chair.

"Are you sure about this, Satoya?" Ryou asked gently, sitting him in the chair. Satoya nodded.

"I-I heard her say it and I saw him holding her…" he buried his face in his hands.

"He's really hung up on Kaiba, isn't he?" Malik whispered into Ryou's ear when Ryou stepped away from Satoya. Ryou nodded.

When the door was knocked on, Malik opened it to have Leana barge in, pulling her fiancé, Chaz. She immediately marched over to Satoya and kneeled in front of him.

"Satoya, are you ok?" she asked kindly as Chaz was apologizing to Ryou (Malik can't understand English) for barging in. Satoya shook his head. "Look, Satoya, sweetie, Sarah isn't his fiancé. She's a delusional girl. Chaz wasn't going to bring her but…" Leana glared at Chaz for a second. He managed to look ashamed.

"She snuck on my plane." Chaz stumbled over the unfamiliar language of Japanese as he did earlier.

"So no worries." Leana grinned. "Kaiba-san will be back for you soon."

"I'm going out. I'll be home soon. Malik, keep an eye on Satoya for me. And don't let Marik and Bakura in." he said as he grabbed his coat, walking out.

"Too late…" Malik muttered as Bakura and Marik surfaced from their hiding places.

Seto and Ryou

"Look Ryou, she's NOT my fiancé! He didn't stick around long enough to hear the whole thing! I told her off for the whole incident!" Seto yelled, getting frustrated with Satoya's friend.

"Leana already told me that she's not your fiancé. But you haven't come looking for him. Did you tell her that you were in love with someone else?" Ryou asked.

"Yes! I told her that I was in love with Satoya." Seto answered, turning to face Ryou.

"Have you told Satoya that you love him?" Ryou asked. By Seto's downcast face, Ryou could tell that he hadn't. "Intelligent, Kaiba, intelligent. You tell someone that you love someone else and that someone else still doesn't know that you love him."

"Shut up. I planned on telling him today but she showed up…" Seto said sulkily.

"Well, come and get him. I left him at home with Malik, Leana, and Chaz, and I'm sure that Malik disobeyed my orders on not letting Marik and Bakura in."

Back with Satoya

Satoya giggled, watching Malik chase Bakura around with the kitten he had gotten for Ryou. He was still feeling really upset but it was hard to stay gloomy with these three around. A crash sounded as Bakura tripped over Marik, who was sprawled out on the floor, and flew into the entertainment center. Leana gasped and broke the kiss she was sharing with Chaz at the noise.

"Oh… shit…" Bakura muttered, noticing all the broken glass that, at one time, had been a cat, which Malik had bought for Ryou.

"You klutz! What are we going to do now! That was Ryou's favorite!" Malik yelled at Bakura.

"Bring it here. I think that I might be able to fix it…" Satoya said softly.

Malik looked at Bakura who shrugged and they brought the glass to Satoya. Satoya looked down at it and put a hand over it. After a few seconds, a light glowed from Satoya's palm and the cat was fixed. Malik set the cat back on its shelf and started jumping up and down.

"Satoya, you are SO cool! First healing, then shields, and now fixing things! You're so-- What's wrong?" Malik asked, seeing that Satoya was paler than usual.

"Nothing… Just… Never done anything like that before… I feel… very tired now…" Satoya said drowsily.

"Oh, well here. Sleep on Ryou's bed. It's safer than mine." Malik helped Satoya to Ryou's bed and laid him down. He left after a few minutes.

A/N: The Shake-n-Bake thing is a joke between me and a friend of mine because she was complaining about spending a summer in Florida and still had to use a spray on tan thing to tan! It looks REALLY horrible. I had to add all the things with Leana and Chaz in here because I didn't originally have that in the plan. ;; Anyway, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! R&R? ;;
