Ali looked around to see a dark room; she felt a hand on hers and looked down to see a man looking at her with a ring in his hand.
"Aliana Kirin Mitsuraki, I have fallen in love with you" said a man in black, Ali couldn't seem to make out who it was, "Well Aliana, will you, I mean, will you marry m- RING RING" Ali opened her eyes from the some what disturbing dream to hear the phone going, she yawned and slid out of under Fluffy. Ali walked slowly to the phone and picked it up.

"Hmm?" She asked yawing.

"Aww, did I wake you up?" A voice asked trying to sound concerned.

"Yes" Ali mumbled out still trying to get her gaze to come into view, she still could not see where she was.

"Well this is bigger than sleeping, turn to channel ten" The female voice told her, Ali knew it was Bella, she had been friends with her for about 5years, it was easy to know her voice.

"Ok then" Ali walked over to the television and turned it on. It was already on channel 10.

"So what is the Rich Seto Kaiba doing in his spare time, well why not ask the girl he was with last night?" the reporter said turning to a picture of Seto and Ali.

Ali covered her mouth with her hand.

'No, this is not happening, someone must have taken a picture of me and Mr. Seto last night' Ali thought to herself falling back on the couch.

Fluffy meowed and jumped onto the coffee table and started to watch the news.

"Fluffy, they took a picture of me and Mr. Seto" Ali said to Fluffy with sweat running down her face.

"So, is this his mystery girl, or did he have a one nightstand" The reported mocked.

"Girl, Ali? You still there?" Bella asked.

Ali slid down on the couch, "Yeah, I'm here".

"Hey, I'll come over, you know I can cheer you up, see you soon ok, bye" She said as she hung up.

Ali got out of the shower and had the towel around her; she walked out of the bathroom into the hall. This huge gush of wind came in from the window and there was a helicopter outside.

"BIG SMILE" The guy yelled over the noise of the propellers. He took a picture and Aliana screamed. She ran into her room and shut all of the curtains.

She quickly got dressed in her usual clothing, a white sleeveless shirt and a black cleat skirt. She combed her sleek black hair that is just below her shoulders and put it in a ponytail, she slowly peeked out her door to see that the helicopter was gone.

'How did they know where I lived. How come there bothering me, it is not like it's a picture of him making love to me' Aliana thought to herself, she slowly snuck out and looked around to all the windows expecting people smashing on them, but nothing.

Fluffy jumped on the counter and pressed a remote, that Ali, well Edmund installed to open the fridge for her cat. The fridge open and fluffy jumped down from the counter and clawed a bag of bacon. It fell on the floor and she picked up the bag with her mouth, she placed it in front of Ali and meowed.

"Your right fluffy, I should make up some breakfast, why wonder about what's passed" Ali nodded at her cat and picked up the bacon, she walked into the kitchen with Fluffy following.

"LET ME IN" Ali heard a voice yell, she sighed and walked to her door an opened it. Bella pushed herself through Ali to get inside, "YOU OWE ME A SHOE" Bella yelled outside.

"Hmm" Ali popped her head outside to have her ears drums blasted by cheers and scream from the crowd standing outside her apartment. She closed the door and slid down it. Bella shrugged and walked over to the window to see a whole crowd of people on the roads with signs 'I LOVE SETO KAIBA TOO 3'

"I think they love you Ali" Bella said a bit freaked out, Ali looked up at Bella.

"I didn't even stay there, it wasn't a date. He was set up," Ali whispered to her.

Bella and Aliana sat on the couch watching television, Ali was in no condition to do anything, and they couldn't get out of the apartment, but every channel they turned it on, was talking about Ali and Mr. Kaiba. Ali couldn't believe it, and neither could Fluffy,

Fluffy's face whenever they changed the channel- T-T

"God, you would think these people would put on something other than Seto Kaiba, most of them hate him anyway" Bella sighed changing the channel.

Ali breathing started to get heavy, every channel had the picture on it, and people were outside her apartment, she couldn't take it, the popularity, she had to stop this, but how? What was she going to do?

Bella looked over and watched Ali's breath become heavier and heavier.

"You breathing right?" She asked looking closer.

"I'm hyperventilating" Aliana said and Bella moved away.

"But your not in an enclosed space" Bella explained with a smart voice on.

"People are everywhere, taking the air away" Ali told Bella holding her throat and breathing with great difficulty.

-----------------------------------.:X:.-----------------------------------

Kaiba laid in his bed looking at the ceiling. He was not awake, but he was not asleep either, he lied there thinking about what had happened, he did not want to think about the girl from the dating service, he couldn't get her off his mind.

"I'm Aliana from soul-mate" He replayed what she said in his head. Her face kept popping up.

He sighed and rolled over looking at his window.

'Why is she the only thing I keep thinking of…Aliana, damn it, her name sounds so- STOP IT' he got out and walked over to his full-length mirror on his cupboard.

"I need to stop thinking about it" He said to himself, he shook his head and looked out his window, to have Aliana's face come into view.

"Thank you" Her image smiled at him.

He shook his head again and went to his office; "Maybe some work will get my mind off her"

He sat down at his desk and her voice came into his mind.

"Well I am taking it as one anyway" she giggled.

'WHY IS SHE THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK ABOUT' He shouted in his mind.

"Seto, I think you should come see this" His brother's voice came from the living room of their house.

"What?" Kaiba asked walking to where his brother was sitting, Seto automatically stopped as he reached the living room; there was a picture on the television. A picture of him, him and Aliana. Aliana was giggling,

'I like stating the obvious' she giggled

It must have been then, because Kaiba was pretty much smiling as well, well inside more than out.

"So what does Seto Kaiba do in his spare time you ask, He picks up pretty innocent girls and takes them on a hell of a roller coaster ride" The reporter mocked showing another picture with Aliana crying, "This is a man with no heart, a man who likes watching girls cry, a man who doesn't care if he hurts you. So when he's up in his high building, we're the ones struggling to keep our jobs, we're the ones who have to work, and all he has to do is flash off his money. Who is the better person in this picture, the innocent girl, or the monster she is with?" The reporter asked.

The picture came back on and Aliana had a halo over her head and Kaiba had horns coming out of his head.
Most likely coloured just then.

These things didn't usually faze Kaiba, but this one did. A reporter, on live television, is saying shit like that about him.

'I don't think she is going to be keeping that job after I'm done with her' He thought as his anger rose.

He hadn't taken his eyes off the picture, well off Aliana anyway.

He closed his eyes to get out of his gaze.

"It was very nice to meet you" A kind voice said, His eyes automatically opened, but no one was there, only Mokuba, but the voice sounded like Aliana. Was he going crazy? Why did he keep thinking about her? His eyes wondered around the room and stopped again at the television, but this time, it was at the picture now showing, it was just of Aliana, and she was in her towel.

His eyes widened, her lavender towel was tight around her and you could see her figure perfectly. She was his kind of perfect, plus she looked gorgeous with her wet hair.

Her legs weren't dead skinny, but they were beach balls either, her breasts weren't huge, but they were bigger than mosquito bites, and she was blushing, so she must be shy.

This was everything he was looking for in a girl, plus she didn't take his insults to heart and she was always polite. And that is strange, Kaiba had never come across a girl that was so casual and nice to him, she had a kind heart.

'Aliana, yes, I think we'll be seeing each other soon' He thought smiling to himself as he walked out of the room.

---------------------------------.:X:.---------------------------------

Ali looked outside her apartment to see Edmund; she smiled and opened the door.

"Hey, just wondering how you were" He asked smiling, she ushered him inside and he took this chance and went inside.

"Wow, haven't been here for about 3months now, you keep it really clean" Edmund said smiling. He looked over to see fluffy, "Wow fluffy, you've grown"

Fluffy meowed and jumped into Edmunds arms, Edmund met fluffy about 2years ago. And was always looking after her whenever Ali went on dates. He was her best friend, well Guy friend anyway. He never really approved of her going out at night to meet guys she had never met, but he always seemed to let her go, but not without pepper spray in her bag.

"Edmund, is it bad to be popular for the wrong reasons" Ali asked him, she was puzzled, everyone liked her because she survived a date with Mr. Seto. She sat herself down and Edmund sat next to her.

"What do you mean?" He asked as he bought her face up in line with his.

"Everyone loves me because I survived a date with Mr. Seto, but I didn't. I ran away and Mr. Seto was set up, doesn't that mean it wasn't even a date?" Ali asked him, her gaze wondering away from his.

"No, you still went there and you talk to him, it was a date, there just happy because your something he can't have" Ali didn't get what Edmund meant, but his voice went serious at the last 5 words.

'Your something he can't have' went through Ali's mind. What's that suppose to mean, of course he can't have me, but the real question is, does he want me? Many girls wouldn't let him have them, would they?

"But no one would let him have them" Ali explained.

Edmunds expression went blank, like he was giving me the 'Are. You. Kidding' look.

I smiled at him, "Don't worry Edmund, he's not going to get me anytime soon, it's not like he care for me or something" She laughed looking at him in the eye.

"Yeah, of course" He said softly but sadly. His eyes wondered from Aliana's gaze, this didn't seem to make him any happier, what was wrong with him? He wasn't smiling like he usually was; maybe he was just worried about something. But what?

'If only I could tell her how I feel about her, it's just three words, but they mean so much, and what happens when I tell her and she says she likes the Kaiba dude or someone else. I couldn't live with myself, I just want to tell her' Edmund thought to himself.

'Why is he looking at me with such sad eyes,' She asked herself. She leaned in and gave him a hug making Edmund's face to go bright red.

"Please stop being sad Edmund, it's mean to you, and me" She whispered in his ear gently.

"I would never wish to be mean to you," He said softly cupping her chin, "Ali, I lo-" RING RING

Ali's head snapped to the place where the ringing was, she smiled at Edmund weakly and he let her chin go and she walked up to the phone and picked it up.

'I was about to tell her how I feel, damn the phone, why couldn't I say it faster, how am I going to tell her now, it was a perfect moment. Aliana, I love you. How hard is it to say that' He thought as he watched Ali pick up the phone.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hello, Aliana?" A strong voice asked.

"Mr. Seto?"

Edmunds eyes widened.

'No, not him' He thought to himself.
