Aliana sipped a bit of her wine and looked around, she was pretty lonely, because she didn't know anyone, and she didn't want to disturb Kaiba while he was talking.

She felt around for her purse for her lipstick, she didn't usually wear lipstick, but when it came to going out, it was her one must.

Ali felt this big brick and took it out to look at her remote. Someone around her started whispering, they weren't that bright, because Ali could still here them.

"Wow, she not only forgot it was a white party, she also picked up her remote instead of her mobile," The lady whispered loudly to her friends who laughed.

Ali didn't really care, she just acted like she did forget her mobile and put her remote back in her bag.

She looked around and leaned on the wall, it was a pretty boring party, well for her anyway, everyone else was talking to other people, laughing and what not, and Aliana was watching all the other people talk.

She sighed watching Mc Dreamy, I.E. Mr. Seto talk to some people who looked like boring people, he seemed really bored, but he was still talking, she slowly walked over to him and stood behind him, so when he stopped talking, they could start a conversation.

Soon enough the people walk away and Seto turns around to face Ali. She smiles at him and greets him with a 'Hello there'

"You actually stayed, your braver than I realized, or maybe your just stupid and don't realize you don't fit in with this kind of crowd." He snarled at her, the warm eyed Kaiba was gone, and replaced with the mean, rude one again, the thought of him saying something like that, saying that she didn't fit in, ripped her heart in two. She thought he would actually say hello, or maybe just nod. But no, maybe when his 'people' are around, he's like this.

"What do you mean by that. I thought we were friends" she gave him a weak smile.

"Let me point out the key word there, Thought" Seto rolled his eyes. The bastard.

Ali's fear of him hating her turned into Anger, she wasn't this kind of person, but she wasn't just going to take that. But she was going to fight until she knew she couldn't hold that part of her back.

"Maybe the part of you who is friends with me is just hiding because his so called 'friends' are around and he can't show emotion when they're here" Ali told him with a bit of force in her voice

"Oh I can, I just chose not to plus the fact that this is a one sided friendship. The friend part being on your side" He told her, tears developed in her eyes, but she kept her cool and stood her ground. No guy, no, no man could say that to her and get away with it. He can't just go from nice to mean in that much time.

"Well maybe if I was like you and had a stick up my ass I wouldn't have that many friends either" Ali spat at him.

"Oh look, little miss happy does get mad, "Seto teased, making Aliana more mad.

"My name is Aliana, but not like you knew that anyway, that stick is affecting the way your think" She mocked him.

"Oh I know what your name is, but it seems that your not as nice as you thought you were" He said to her, Ali was trying to calm down, but his face made everything worse, his face was amused.

Next thing she knew, her palm had collided with Seto's right cheek, "Oh, so it's ok for you to be mean, but when it comes to other people, we're just not allowed, well listen to me mister, I don't care if your head of a company or the whole city, no one talks to me that way and gets away with it, so when your alone in your huge house. Think, if you were a bit nicer, maybe you would have about one friend, to keep you company" Aliana sneered at him.

'OMG OMG, I JUST SLAPPED SETO KAIBA. It felt good, NO, BAD ALI, BAD ALI. What do I do, say sorry or walk off in a huff' She thought freaking out.
Ali did what her gut told her to do and that was to walk off in a huff.

Ali put her head on her knees as people walked out and walked down the stairs, she was sitting on the porch with her knees up to her chest and her head on her knees. She wasn't crying, but she wished she were. She felt so bad for hurting Kaiba, she wished she never slapped him, never got mad, but she couldn't change the past, no one could. So when every last person left. She was going to slip away into the night. She didn't want to go with them, because she stood out.

She heard the door open and a guy wearing a white tux and a girl who seemed to have too many drinks stumbled down the stairs; Aliana slowly got up and wiped herself off before walking forward. Unfortunately she ran into a spider web. Ali wasn't in a happy mood so she furiously tore the Spider web away and out of nowhere she started crying, she didn't like this self about her, it scared her, and she felt terrible about taking it out on Kaiba, and on a spider web. That was someone's home, and Kaiba was someone who she, well liked, and she hurt him. Emotionally and physically, she felt terrible and the only thing she could do, she had enough strength to do was cry.

Ali heard the door open again and she moved away thinking it was just another drunk couple, but no one walked past, Ali wiped her tears away and turned around revealing Seto standing at the door.

Her mascara was running and her eyes were all red. But right now, seeing him was all she cared about, she put her head down and whispered, "I'm sorry".

"I must say, you're stronger than you look. That slap almost hurt", Ali was surprised at his words but didn't look up, she wasn't going to dare to look at him, and she just bowed.

"My behavior was unacceptable, I am terribly sorry, Mr. Kaiba, I'll leave now" she bowed again.

Kaiba waved his hand around like it was nothing at all, "I knew one day that someone was going to slap me. Didn't think it would be you though"

She wiped her eyes again and looked up to him with a tearful smile, "I am sorry, but knowing I didn't hurt you makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing" Ali told him.

"Really? I thought you would have been mad" He raised an eyebrow at Ali.

"NO!" Ali shouted shocked, "I'm not that kind of person, I would never try to hurt someone" Ali said shaking her head.

"I bet that you were hoping to hurt me, no one can be that nice" He said to her.

She smiled at him, "Why would you think I wanted to hurt you, your my friend"

"Are you still going on about that," he said while giving her a little glare

"I'm not the person to just give up" She gave him a grin

"Damn. Can't you just be a horrible bitch who gives up really easily," He told her.

"Oh, but then being your friend wouldn't be a thrill," She smiled sweetly but evilly at him

"That was creepy, never do that again," He told her sternly

Ali gave him a smile, "Anything for a friend".

Seto's face- -.-'

"Your just as stubborn as me" He put his hand on his temple and shook his head.

Ali kept her smile up.

"Except your all nice and happy about it, which makes it weird" He looked at Ali weirdly.

"Face it Mr. Seto, your stuck on the Aliana train, and knowing you can't get off until you are my friend makes it even more thrilling for me" She grinned at him.

"Oh dear god help me," He said.

She smiled and moved closer to him, "Your mouth says no, but your eyes say yes"

"Maybe your brain is telling you things," Seto told her. She smiled at him.
"Maybe, or maybe you do want me" Her eyes widened, " I meant as a friend," She said quickly.

She smiled at herself, He wasn't as nasty as he seemed, and this made Ali want more, crave more of him. She wanted to see him smile, smell his fragrance, Hear his laugh. She wanted him.

A small smirk appeared on his face.
"Or maybe it's that you want me and your just hiding it by telling me that you want to be my friend"

A small blush line appeared on Ali's face. And she started waving her arms in front of her face, "YOU'RE CRAZY, I DON'T WANT YOU, WHY WOULD I WANT YOU" She stated laughing uncontrollably.

"You just proved my point, besides, you want me to be your friend right? So there for you want me" He smirked at her.

"NO! Gah, that's it, fine. I'm going," she turns around, "I try to be nice and be someone's friend, but noo. They think I like them" She started rambling on.

"What ever happen to you not giving up?" He pointed out. She stopped and hung her head, but turned around nonetheless.

"There's no way I could get you to be my friend, because that would mean I want you, an- and I don't want you, so it's stupid to keep trying on something that is just gonna keep failing" She told him holding her index finger to show him a point

"Why don't you just stop talking and walk away so you can stop digging your hole deeper" She rolled his eyes.

"No, I will not, because- well," She stood there for a moment thinking of what to stay, " I don't want to leave you" She told him, her eyes widened again and a faint blush line appeared over her cheeks, " I meant leave right now. It's dark, and I- I mean, I don't want to be raped." She stuttered out.

"You want me so bad" he smirked at him.

" NO I DO" She screamed at him, making her blush line thicker, " I MEANT DON'T"

"Just give in," He told Ali.

" No! I am so not giving into you, I don't care if you think I like you, because, I don't. No, see. I'm sorry, but I do not- hate you" Ali clenched her fists, it was like she was given truth serum, "It doesn't mean anything" She huffed.

"Let me get this straight, you want me to give into being your friend but you won't give into admitting that you like me. Isn't that a little hypocritical?" he asked her.

"Maybe a little bit, but does that mean you want me to like you?" Aliana answered with a question of her own.

"I never said that I did want you to like me, I just like watching you get annoyed over a stupid little question" He smirked at her.

"Oh, so you like watching me get annoyed, then you would have loved me when I slapped you" She snarled at him.

"That was unexpected," He told her.

She stomped around and jumped on the spot, "Why? Why you? Why are you the only one who can make me mad" She was trying to calm herself down.

"You are so fun to toy with"' He smirked.

Ali glared at him and fought the urge to hit him, " I hate you," She whispered out.

"Look, I won, you no longer want to be friends with me" He said in joy.

"DAMNIT" She screamed, she clenched her fists and looked away from him, "Your gay, and mean, and not nice"

"Besides me being gay, the others are true and it's about time you figured it out"

"Why" Ali squeaked out, " Why is the only guy I ever like have to be this guy?" She asked herself pointing at Seto nearly in tears..

Aliana's eyes widened and she covered her mouth,

' OH GOD, I ADMITTED IT' Her thoughts screamed

"So you do" He raised his eyebrows at Ali.

"NO!" She screamed. Ali's face was now a bright red.

' Who am I kidding; I can't stop thinking about him, his abs, his lips aching for a kiss. His warm calm eyes asking to be read. And DAMN! He's hot' Ali thought to herself.

"I win," He whispered to her. Her whole body shivered and she knew he had won. Not only for her liking him, but he had won her body, mind and soul.

'Yes, you won' Ali thought looking up at him.

She did what she usually did, smiled. "You sure did," She whispered out. She got up all her courage "So what if I do! What are you gonna do?" Ali said to him rudely

Suddenly, Ali felt Kaiba's lips again hers. A sudden rush of shock flowed through her and when he pulled back, the ability to speak had left her.
"Why, seize the opportunity of course" he told her boldly with a smirk.

A faint blush line appeared over her cheeks and her eyes were filled with shocked, "Oh my god. YOU JUST KISSED ME" She screamed at him.

"Whoa, brilliant deduction Sherlock" He rolled his eyes.

"WHY O.O" She asked him shocked.

"Do I need to spell it out for you" he rolled his eyes.

"It couldn't hurt," She said to him.

"I. Like. You. Too" He said to her. Her whole expression went blank until she glared at him.

"Liar" She said simply, "I don't believe you".

' AH, NO YOU DIDN'T, he just told me he liked me, and I just said he was a liar, YOU LOST YOUR CHANCE' Ali's mind growled at her. But she had to be sure, this happened to her before, in year7, and she wasn't going to get fooled again.

Once again Ali was shock when he leant over and pressed his lips sternly on hers. This time, her whole face turned into a beetroot. She smiled weakly because of her embarrassment; "OK" She put thumbs up at him, "I'm going to go, before I make myself even more embarrassed," She told him turned around.

She took a deep breath in before waking down the stairs into the cold darkness, this wasn't this bad, except for it was about 11pm at night and crazy people were wondering the streets. She got shivers up her spine just looking into the darkness, she ran back up to where Seto was standing.

"Actually, maybe I might stay here for a bit longer" She grinned at him.

Kaiba shrugged.
"Fine by me"

' YES, no scary monster crazy things for me, no rapists for me, no crazy cat lady for me, I get a strong lover man instead' Aliana's thoughts were practically singing.

"Yes!" She chirped.

"I'm going to get changed, this suit is starting to annoy me. Do what ever you want, just don't walk in on me changing" He told the short long black haired girl.

"Again" She grinned at him

"Yeah, again" he said with a little glare

"I swear, you were just pulling up your pants" She gave him a cheesy smile.

"You said that you didn't see anything" He glared at her.

" I am allowed to lie, I'm not a nun" She grinned at Kaiba.

"No, but you are a goody two shoes" He smirked at Ali.

"Oh, Well you're a bad ass" She poked her tongue out at him.

"Oh, what ever shall I do" he said with full sarcasm.

She hung her head and pointed at the door, "Go get changed," She said simply

"Well aren't we being a little demanding"

Before Ali could reply to that, Kaiba was out of the door and on his way to his room.
