Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh………….. I wish I did……. Well I only own Kairi, Chris and everyone related to them.

Chapter 17 - Competition

Chris nodded.

"Are you my boyfriend?" Kairi turned her attention to Seto.

Seto looked away. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to say to her.

Kairi understood his answer perfectly.

"How long was I in love with him?" Kairi turned her attention back to Chris.

"For as long as I can remember" Chris told her everything she wanted to know.

"I think I'll be leaving now" The nurse saw that everything had just taken an interesting turn. "Just no more yelling or you'll disturb the other patients"

"Why didn't I give up?" Kairi asked.

"You're not that kind of girl" Yugi interrupted Chris and answered her question.

Kairi looked down at the white hospital bed sheet.

"I think we should be leaving. Sorry about all the screaming. I didn't know" Chris started.

"It's okay" Kairi smiled at him.

"We'll come back tomorrow after things have settled in with you" Yugi opened the door.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow" Kairi smiled as she watched them leave.

Seto still stood next to her bed, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

"I might as well let you be also" Seto took his leave.

"Wait" Kairi grabbed the cuff of Seto's jacket. "Seto is it?"

Seto nodded.

"Is it all true?" Kairi asked.

Seto nodded again.

"Will you come visit me tomorrow?" Kairi asked.

Seto was surprise at her question. "No"

Kairi sadden. "Oh, Am I that unbearable to be around?"

"No" Seto sighed as he looked.

"Well, you must have somewhere to go. I won't keep you any longer" Kairi smiled. "Thanks for the stuff animal!"

"Kairi" Seto began but quickly ceased as he saw her hands clutching he blanket beneath her. He knew that it was hurting her to know the past truth and he wanted more than anything to tell her how he felt now. But he knew this wasn't the best time.

"Please leave, I don't need any explanations. I'm fine and besides I don't remember anything anyways so it can't hurt me" Kairi forced a smile on her face as she turn towards Seto whom was standing at the door.

"I'll come back to see how you are feeling in a couple of days" Seto left his final words with Kairi and left before any further conversation could be carried on.

Kairi let out a sigh of relief that she didn't know she was holding in. She held the stuffed animal to her face and smiled. 'At least I got something cute'. Before she carry her thought any further there was a knock on the door, even though the door was open. She looked up to see another patient standing there, one that was familiar to her.

"Kairi" The medium build Japanese man said her name in a way of requesting her permission to enter. It seemed like the traditional Japanese manners or that's what she thought.

"Come in" Kairi motioned her hands in a welcoming way. "I recognize you from somewhere"

"You… don't… remember?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry no, the nurse told me there is a chance I will regain my memory with time" Kairi shrugged as she put the stuff animal that Seto had earlier given her aside. She searched her empty brain to see where she recognize his face from.

"I came here to thank you" The man sat in the seat next to her bed, the very same seat that Seto had been sitting in while he was watching her sleep for a moment.

"For what?" Kairi had no idea who he was, nonetheless how was she suppose to know what he was thanking her for.

"For saving my life, if you hadn't push me away I would of be pinned under those rocks" The man reveal his identity to Kairi for she remember the video that her teammate had showed her earlier before.

"Ryu" Kairi spoke out loud making sure he was him.

"I'm glad you remember me now" He smiled a great smile, the picture of his smile was now embedded into Kairi's heart. "I'm sorry, if you didn't try to save me you would be perfectly fine now."

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure you would of done the same" Kairi smile which made Ryu smile. She felt a small attraction to him, she could see his toned muscles from the lose hospital gown he was wearing.

Apparently Ryu felt the same way about Kairi and made his feelings clear with the next sentence he spoke. "How about I make it up to you when we both get out of his hospital, I'll take you to the most expensive restaurant or one that you really like in Japan"

This made Kairi laugh.

"You have such a beautiful smile and your laugh is like music" Ryu complimented her.

"Thanks" Kairi giggled again, she felt special and it was him that made her feel that way.

"So what do you say?" Ryu asked again obviously not taking no for a answer.

"Ok, if you insist" Kairi didn't have a problem accepting his proposal since she was already attracted to him and as far as she knew she didn't have a boyfriend. She did have a crush on that CEO that didn't return her feelings, but all that will change now. Hey since she can't remember anything, then she can't be hurt right? But what happens when her memory comes back? Well she'll just have to worry about it then.

"Great" Ryu got up. "You should get some rest so we can get to that dinner earlier. Goodnight" Ryu gave one swift wave motion, it was probably his signature goodbye wave, and left Kairi to herself.
