To Remember and Forget: The Kaiba Story

Kaiba was already sipping on his coffee the next morning, satisfied with the amount of sleep from the night before. Rin, on the other hand, felt like she had a hangover hold the nausea. The police captain waltzed in, rubbing her head and clearing her eyes before meeting Seto's gaze. And after a short glare contest she helped herself to the coffee that he had set out on the counter. Mokuba was finishing his sugar filled cardboard by the time she sat across from him.

"Good morning Rin. Did you get enough sleep?" the young Kaiba asked, trying to forget what he had seen last night.

"Only just," she hissed, glaring at the man who was looking over some unimportant papers to seem distracted.

'Is he really working? He said yesterday that he was taking the day off,' Rin asked herself before striking up a conversation with the young man in front of her. Seto was more than happy that Rin was exhausted from what happened last night. He sure as hell didn't want her there, and the man was trying his best to make her leave. Mokuba actually liked the woman, but they had known each other longer than Seto knew her. That was probably why she was making it so difficult for her to do her job. Rin gulped down her caffeinated drink and slammed the mug into the sink, earning a jump from a startled Mokuba.

"So… What are we going to do today?" the policewoman asked yawning.

"I am going to read, and you are going to leave me alone."

"Well as much as I want to leave this place and act like I had never met you, I can't. You and your brother are in possible danger."

That shut him up, and also reminded him what happened yesterday in the bathroom. She actually did care about his brother but it pissed her off how Seto would just assume that he was just some kid in her eyes.

"So it's settled, today we are all spending the day together," Rin declared, hearing the stutters from Kaiba as he tried to reject the idea.

"Great! Seto can we go to the pool?"

'Pool?' "Pool?"

"I suppose."

Mokuba was screaming and running up to his room by the time Rin was asking why she had never been told about such a feature. But with a moment of realization, why wouldn't this place have a pool? It was large enough to be a palace, and could easily fit ten of her precincts. Rin paled thinking of the deep water and Mokuba trying to persuade her into it. There had to be a way out of this, but she couldn't fake sick-even though she could certainly look it-because Seto would probably force her to leave. There had to be something…. 'Aha!'

*0*

Mokuba was already in the water, with Seto leaning back on a chair next to the pool. Rin was standing poolside and taking in the surroundings. Thankfully she didn't have to wear a bathing suit because, 'she didn't have one'-and that was true. So she settled for some shorts and a fitting shirt. Like she had predicted the young Kaiba was pestering her about joining him in the water.

"Rin, would you please get in?"

"No," she deadpanned, adjusting her dark sunglasses.

He whined and dove under the waters surface, causing Rin's stomach to clench. Seto was too busy relaxing to see her bothered face and she was glad that it was. Of all the things to be scared of, water sounded like the dumbest. An explosion? No problem. A gun in her face? Easy. But a tub of water? Hell no. The memories of the beach with her parents scared the hell out of her to this day. It was an accident and nothing bad happened, but she was only a little girl at the time, maybe even considered a baby. The current swept her away with her tiny floatation device and it was enough to take her out farther from shore than she ever wanted to be. Her father had finally swum to her and taken her back to shore, but it was too late. Rin's fear of water was too much to manage.

*0*

Finally after hours of relaxing outdoors-and in the worst place possible for the policewoman-Mokuba was finally tired enough to leave. Kaiba had moved from his chair some time ago and was now relaxing in the water, while Rin took his brother back to the house. It was only a few minutes past noon as she opened the door for the boy and she felt the cool air from the mansion hit her face.

"Rin, why didn't you get in with us?" he asked carrying a towel over his shoulder.

"Um, why don't we talk about that later? I need to go back and get your brother," lame excuse but it was probably the only way to get his off of her back for a minute.

Kaiba was resting against the side of the pool when Rin stood by the stairs with her arms crossed.

"You've been in there almost all day, move it," she demanded glaring at the man with her green orbs.

"Why don't you get in?" he asked, hoping that she would let the subject drop.

"Why won't you guys drop it! I just don't want to get in! Is there a problem with that!"

A long silence followed her outburst, along with the sound of water as Kaiba shifted to look at her. To say the least she was fuming. Of course the genius didn't take long to realize her problem.

"You're afraid of water," okay, he didn't have to sound so smug about it.

"Well, I'm sure you have plenty of fears too alright. Now let's go."

That gave him an idea. If Kaiba really wanted her to leave, then this would be a sure fire way. Seto had moved closer to the stairs with his arms out in a welcoming position.

"I will… if you get in," he challenged seeing the look of shock plastered on her face.

She would not be defeated, not like this. It was only water…. Right? The captain breathed in as she took the first step into the cold liquid. Once her ankles where in a satisfactory smile claimed her lips; she quirked the man a brow. Silently saying 'There, I'm in. Now get inside.' But he returned the gesture and said that she was acting like a baby. The smile faded and by the time water was to her knees she was clasping the side of the pool, sweat beading on her brow. And the entire time Kaiba was nagging at her that she was the captain of the police force and she couldn't step into a puddle of water without getting scared. By the time he was finished ranting, Rin's eyes had grown wide and her breathing ragged. Finally the woman stopped to talk.

"The last time I was in water, I was carried away by the current and I was only about six," Rin breathed, inching a little deeper every second.

"Then why don't you stop?" Seto asked more annoyed that she was actually putting herself through that much of a struggle instead of backing out.

"Because I… will not lose… to this," now the water had just reached the bottom of her shorts.

The look of fear on her face seemed to backfire on his plan. Suddenly trying to get her to leave didn't seem worth it, or even what he wanted. The woman was running out of wall and would have to step into the water without support. 'That won't be good,' Seto assumed, watching the water rise to her stomach slowly with her breath hitching. Rin shivered as the water clashed against her shirt and the retracted for a moment. Kaiba knew that there was only one chance to see if he could still help her out of this… or something emotionally and mentally disturbing was going to happen to her.

"Rin, are you sure about this? You can back out now…" he trailed off hoping she would listen.

But she shook her head and slid off of the last stair and onto the light blue material that covered the bottom of the pool. Only a few more steps and Seto would go back inside. But those steps seemed like miles into the water… the dark blue water. Now she was seeing things, the flashback of the beach was fogging her vision now. It almost brought tears to her eyes-that she managed to hold in-and instead took to shaking. Half of that reason was because the water was freezing cold, but mostly because she was scared out of her wits. Kaiba was watching the event unfold and-he didn't even know that he had done this-held his arms out as if to catch her. This reaction was defiantly not worth it. The wall had run out and Rin was on her own now. As soon as the petite hands left the concrete they where clutched to her heaving chest. Now what? It was almost like she had been paralyzed, making her feel inferior with being in the presence of Seto Kaiba. For some reason, the blue eyed man actually felt sorry for putting her into this situation. Kaiba didn't even register grasping her wrists and tugging her forward-which she was reluctant to move even an inch.

"It's alright," Seto reassured in a lighter tone than usual.

And that was probably what caused Rin to move; well she was so stunned that her body actually gave in to the soft pulling. But when she took the last step, even if the water rose to her chest, the policewoman was oddly calmer. Bright green eyes peeked open-when had they even closed?-and met electric blue as she released her breath-when had she been holding that too?

"I-I did it… I…did it," she breathed shakily, adding more pressure to the hand she was holding.

"Yes, you did," the man in front of her grinned-gone as soon as it came, just to tell you.

"Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Rin cheered, jumping to wrap her arms around his neck in a hug.

Seto's eyes grew with surprise, but he wasted no time returning her gesture. The captain had completely forgotten why she had come by this time, being too busy taking in his scent. Kaiba was feeling the warm breath on his neck while one hand was roaming south and the other was weaving through her hair. Unconsciously, Rin's fingers where twisting his hair and the nuzzling motion the woman's head made seemed to drive Seto over the edge. The policewoman was pulled back from inhaling Seto's aroma and almost tackled when he kissed her. He seemed to cut to the chase by sliding his tongue between her lips when she gasped. Rin fought back, determined to be the dominant in this battle. Teeth grazed against his bottom lip, making him realize that they were more potent than he imagined… Which he would admit that he thought about often. While he was reminiscing the feeling, Rin took it upon herself to get payback. He would regret what happened last night, or so help her she would die on the spot. She removed her hands from his neck, scraping them down and leaving marks down his toned back. Apparently Seto liked the feeling, shown by the groan that emitted deep from his throat. A satisfactory chuckle was given as Rin drew back, opening her eyes while moving towards his ear. And while she was looking, something caught her eye-a black clothed man peering from the bushes not ten feet away… and she hoped that what he was holding was a camera… nope gun, definitely a gun. 'God,' the police woman groaned, remembering where she had last seen her own weapon; Poolside, next to the stairs where she had gotten into this position in the first place.

"Kaiba," the woman whispered, making it seem as though she had been nibbling on his ear-she was.

"Seto," he corrected, too busy licking her pulse to create more than one word at a time.

"Seto, I need you to follow my lead. Alright?"

"Hmm."

'Oh, he'll be helpful,' just her luck. Now she had to move, or else give the shooter a better target. If anything, moving an elephant was easier than moving Kaiba. The man was just enjoying this activity way to much; making her job difficult… but pleasant at the same time. 'Focus, Rin focus.' Seconds later, the woman had finally managed to maneuver Seto to the plastered border with her between the two. There was really no telling if the hiding man could see her or not; probably not because Kaiba was tall enough to loom over her figure. Police instincts kicked in when her hand finally reached her gun, but she had to ask herself if she had enough time before the gunner grew impatient. She concluded maybe a few more seconds.

"Move on three," 'You'd better listen.'

There was something that sounded like acknowledgement, so that was enough… maybe. Kaiba wasn't objecting to the assignment; right now she could have asked him to jump off a cliff and he would have done so. Oh how he was screwed. Kissing Rin was distracting, making him wonder if she had to do this on a cover job. Isamu had played the bad boyfriend at times with her the neck sucking girlfriend, but that was for the job only. Her partner would spend thirty minutes in the bathroom at work, coming out and ranting about how she should be more careful with her tactics after inspecting the black and purple bruises scattered on his skin. Never had she had a problem with being marked, well not until now. The woman couldn't see it but she was positive that as much time as Seto had spent on her pulse point, that there where going to be spots later.

"One… Two… Three…"

She didn't need to, but the woman shoved him back just to make sure she had enough room. And once the first few pops exploded from her weapon, the man in hiding retaliated. He must have been a newbie or something because he only got two rounds in their direction out of the five he fired. But he wasn't so bad; one did manage to graze her right arm. Part of her was wishing that Kaiba wouldn't hold it against her that there where now bullet holes along his seven foot tall separator from the real world and his mansion. Once he was out of range, Rin was trying to follow the fast bastard. She flew across the lawn, rounding a sharp corner that ended with a gardening shed and a ladder leaning against the red brick barricade.

"Damn it!" she hissed, rushing a hand through her hair and kicking a few gardening tools.

Kaiba was behind her, more or less. Do you know when sometimes you get so angry you don't remember what happens for the next few minutes? Well that's how angry Rin was before she had a mental blackout. Frustration was just one of her feelings before her body went numb.

*0*

The next thing she remembered was wincing as Isamu dabbed her right arm with antiseptic.

"It's about time. You had me worried sick!" her partner scolded, helping her sit up in the dark room.

They where alone in her bedroom, sending Rin's mind in panic mode. Where were Kaiba and Mokuba? What happened? Was there another man in the house? Was everyone okay?

"It's alright. Everyone's fine. It's alright," and for some reason she heard Seto's voice cover her partners, but he was nowhere in the room.

That had to be a bad sign…

"Rin what's happened to you?" he asked, staring at the mark on her neck.

"Good question. I'll get back to you when I know and I'm not scared enough to piss myself," the woman grumbled, rubbing her forehead to try and ease the pain.

In a way he knew this would happen, but not this fast. Had Kaiba really gotten to her? Yes. Isamu had gathered that when Rin said that she was scared. His captain was never scared and certainly not over something stupid like this. The man heaved a sigh and went to her closet to start pulling out clothes.

"What the hell are you doing?" the blonde asked, removing the sheets from her legs with difficulty.

"I'm getting you out of here."
