Kyira felt hot in the face. Oh my gosh! I hope I'm not blushing! Brushing aside strands of hair that had fallen in her face, Kyira tried quickly to act calm. "Yeah, uh…I just came to say bye and…so yeah."
Mokuba looked at the two of them, "Uh…ok well your stuff's already in the car, so everything's set."
"Oh great…well then I guess I should go now. So yeah, thanks again for letting me stay here." Bowing quickly, she scurried out the room not making eye contact with anyone. Mokuba followed behind her, waving bye as she got into the car and left. Kaiba stood in his study, looking at the wall and then at the door. Turning around he made his way to his desk.
The doorbell ran twice before Matt opened the door. Kyira was still in a slight daze. Smiling at her brother, she walked in. Slightly relieved yet puzzled by her reaction he decided to just be happy that she wasn't angry at them. "Welcome home, sis."
Mr. Ishida came out of this room. "Oh you're home." He said smiling.
Kyira nodded and looked around, "So…um…it's safe right?"
Mr. Ishida confused at first, remembered the lie he had told. "Uh….yeah, it's safe."
Looking relieved but still a little wary, she made her way to her room. Matt and Mr. Ishida stayed behind not sure what to expect. "Oh my gosh!" Both of them tensed up. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Kyira came running out of her room and hugged both of them. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Both of them sighed completely relieved. "Glad you like it. We were getting a little worried there." Mr. Ishida said chuckling. "Especially with how we had to get you to leave and all."
Kyira grinned, "Well I was angry, but after looking at my room I can't complain." Rushing back to her room she squealed. "It's just so cool. You got everything down. The walls, the sheets, the decorations. Oh my gosh! Thank you!"
Mr. Ishida placed his hand on her shoulder. "Well I'm glad you like it. So I guess now that that's done, I'm off to work." Matt and Kyira said bye as he left, then Kyira unpacked as Matt cooked dinner.
Kaiba sat down in his office. He had told Muso to make sure that no one disturbed him. Muso bowed and nodded walking out. Looking out his window, Kaiba sat lost in thought.
Kyira awoke and sat up stretching. It had been a whole week since she was back. In her room and she still couldn't get over how her room had been transformed. The whole room was painted a cool, light green with the exception of one wall that painted a dark shade of green with an intricate design centered on the wall in a rusty color. She had new green sheets to match and a few new ornaments that brought the whole room together. It was her dream room and she couldn't' believe that it was a reality. Heading for her door, she suddenly remembered when Kaiba had tried to kiss her before she left. Stopping, she bit her lip. Perhaps she had imagined it? No, it did happen. shaking her head, she decided not to think about it. Walking out of her room, she headed for the kitchen, not seeing Matt she bumped into him. "Ooof…oh I'm so sorry." Kyira said quickly.
Matt got up, "That's okay. Are you okay there? You seemed slightly out of it."
Kyira shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine, I was just thinking."
Matt eyed her knowing she was holding something back, but decided not to pry. "Alright then. Well I was just about to make breakfast. How does waffles sound?"
Kyira grinned, "Sounds good to me. I didn't know you knew how to make waffles."
Matt grinned slyly. "Of course, I can cook anything."
Kyira laughed. "How could I forget?" Sitting down she waited as he began to take out everything he needed.
Tea ran to the door when she heard the doorbell. Opening it quickly she grinned. "Sorry I'm late." Kyira said as she walked in, taking off her shoes.
"That's okay, how are you?" Tea asked as she went and sat down on one of the couches. Kyira followed, sitting across from her.
"I'm…fine." She said shifting slightly in her seat.
Tea's eyebrow rose. "Oooh, you don't sound it."
Kyira bit her lower lip, twiddling her thumbs. "Well, actually I sort of want to ask you something?"
Tea leaned back in her chair. "Ok then…shoot."
Kyira looked from Tea to the floor and back. "Well…a week ago, just before I left the Kaiba mansion."
Tea sat up narrowing her eyes," Did something happen while you were there? Don't tell me, Kaiba was being a jerk as usual. You should've known that. Kaiba isn't exactly the friendliest person on earth you know."
Kyira shook her head. "No that's not it. If it were something like that I wouldn't be so worried."
Tea looked at Kyira confused, "I'm lost then. What exactly happened?"
Kyira sighed, "Well…uh…well before I left I walked into Kaiba's study to say bye to him and thank for him letting me stay there, while Mokuba went to check to see if the driver was ready. And just before I left…" Tea leaned forward. "Kaiba…uh…Kaiba…ended up not being there and I didn't get to properly thank him." Kyira lied.
Tea looked at Kyira in disbelief. "What! That's it?"
"Um…yeah."
"Kyira!" I thought something more dramatic happened. Like…like if he tried to kiss you or something. That's something to worry about."
Kyira shrank in her chair a little and laughed weakly. "Yeah…hehe…heh"
Tea got up. "So do you want some tea or something?"
Kyira sighed and headed for the door. "No, I think I'm going to go now. I just wanted to say that."
Tea looked disappointed. "Oh really, so soon? You didn't even get to ask your question."
Kyira smiled, "Well it's not a big deal. No worries, I'll see you later ok?" Tea nodded and said bye as Kyira walked out. Not wanting to go home, Kyira headed for the park. Walking towards the center, rows of trees towered over her, and a few leaves littered the ground. Not even realizing where she was headed, she heard someone say something. Stopping she looked up and saw Kaiba a few feet in front of her. "Kaiba." She said almost in a whisper.
Kaiba stared at her for a second, then walked past her stopping a little behind her. "I thought about avoiding this, but it keeps disturbing my thoughts." Kyira stood there not wanting to move or say anything. "Yet I can't seem to despite my efforts. So I'll just out right and say it. We're not friends, we never were." Kyira bit her lip. "But…" He turned his head back a bit to see her. "I feel something for you and it's not friendship." Kyira's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. This was Kaiba, Seto Kaiba. He was generally cold and distant. He would never say anything like this. "So I'll only ask this once. Where do you stand with this…Kyira?" Kyira stood dumbfounded. She could feel Kaiba staring at her, which made her want to turn around even less. She wasn't sure what to think, much less what to say. Kaiba stood there, watching her for a few seconds then turned around. "That's all I needed. Good bye…Ishida." With that, Kaiba started to walk away.
Kyira felt something, almost as a slight panic. Turning around quickly she called out to Kaiba's walking form. "I think I do too." Kaiba paused for a slight second, without turning to face her. "I mean…I'm not sure what it is I feel, but I know that I feel something." Kaiba waited till she finished then without responding just continued to walk away, leaving Kyira standing alone in the center of the park.
