Seto's Point of View…

She is coming over here….

Why, does she really care, I really shouldn't have called her…

But… maybe I need to talk…

No… I am just lonely here….

She is like a smaller sibling… to Wheeler… maybe …

This is so stupid…

What am I doing, I have a company to run…

The door knocked; "Hello" I said opening it, Joey's sister again here… she gave me a smile when she came in, I felt warmth inside of me… it was nice… "Wheeler" I said trying to give a smile back without crying.

"Hey, Kaiba, you know…like I said, it is alright to not be strong…." She said looking at him… "You can cry…you can be sad, you don't have to be tough…I am not going to judge you…"

Her eyes are just like Mokuba's… honest and caring…I can't do this…

I turned and went to the TV room and said, "Want…to watch VH1 again?" he said not looking at her, pausing after a few moments and said, "you didn't have to come…I can deal."

"But you shouldn't have to…not alone" she said looking at him… I really believe you need to be talking, and maybe even doing things…" she smiled and said, "come on say it…what you feel… say you are scared…or anything… I just don't want you to be feeling so bad, all alone, so silently…"

She has a wonderful heart… I cannot do much but stare into her eyes and feel this bubbly warm feeling in my stomach.

This feeling, it makes me want to cry… for so many reasons.

"You have a beautiful soul," this is what surprised me the most; these words came from my mouth… I felt I needed to give redemption for them, "what I mean is, you are nice… you are kind….like Mokuba was."

What is this, what are these, tears, I never understood before but now I get it….was…it is a sad word…

It means something isn't as it had been once before…

It means something is gone, and cannot comeback…it cannot be undone…

Was, is a hopeless word…

Serenity's Point Of View

He is crying, Seto Kaiba is crying…I didn't say much, but…maybe even what I said was too much…this is hard to understand…he just started crying, he is cut…and bleeding… I don't know….can I heal him?

"Are you okay?" I said looking to him as I hesitated to embrace him… he had always seemed so solitary whenever I had seen him, this wasn't like the one I had seen at Battle City, on TV, or even just around, this wasn't even the one on the couch the other night…this was a different Seto Kaiba.

He has embraced me…

I hesitated, but he just wanted someone…to be there…

I will embrace him.

I embraced him and spoke words to him, "Seto Kaiba, it's alright, you will be okay…you cannot give up" words vomited from my mouth as I felt his pain, like it was my own…but I knew I could never imagine the true extent of his pains, the closest I had to losing someone was when mum and dad split up and Joey and I were separated…

I will try and be here for you Seto Kaiba, I will do my best.
