Seto seems a little over the top OOCish, so please no flames. This is only a small chapter, mainly coz I want to fill in. The song "Be Strong" by Delta Goodrem (I DON'T OWN) perfectly fits what Seto could end up feeling.
Anyway, I don't own YuGiOh or anything related to it, I only own Caylee and the following of this plotline!
Ciao and enjoy!
Seto sighed as he walked through the doorway of the mansion and placed his coat on the rack and loosened his tie. It had been a long day – everything had seemed to go wrong.
He was about to head upstairs when he heard someone singing.
It was like the voice of a siren, calling him and pulling him towards the song.
He continued to walk up the stairs and down the hall until he heard the tinkling of the grand piano that he had played when he was younger.
The voice was beautiful as it sung along to the melody of the piano.
'Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see
'Cause when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong'
He opened the door to the music room and was shocked to see Caylee singing and playing away at the piano. Her eyes were closed as she sang.
She had yet to notice that he was there.
"It's beautiful Caylee," he said, closing the door.
Caylee gasped, stopped playing and fell off the seat and landed on her back with a grunt.
"Oh, hi Seto, when did you get in?" Caylee asked, rubbing her head.
"Just now, I didn't know you could sing like that," he said helping her back up onto the chair.
"I don't usually sing the slow, sad, almost happy songs but I saw the piano here and couldn't help myself. Mokuba's off with friends and I went exploring when I found this room," Caylee said, playing with the keys.
"Have you always played the piano?" he asked, genuinely curious.
She shook her head, "No, actually. A friend I met a couple of years ago taught me how to play a lot of instruments and to dance after he first heard me singing. He said I had a lot of talent so he thought we could learn to make me even better," she confessed with a smile.
He smirked. It was one of the only times that she had actually talked about her past with living on the streets. He wished he could learn more, but he would allow her the courtesy of telling him in her own time.
"What song were you singing?" he asked.
Caylee blushed and looked down, continued to play a little with the keys, "It's called 'Be Strong'. The artist has always been a favourite of mine . . . the song just reminded me of you and how much you seemed to be fighting for something,"
Seto eyes widened in shock at Caylee's interpretation of the song. Caylee closed her eyes and started to sing the song from the beginning. The music flowed as Caylee played the keys with the quality of a master.
'Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it

'Cause when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong'
Caylee looked up from the keys and her emerald eyes locked with his own sapphire ones. He could feel the fire burning in her eyes as it melted the ice behind his own.
'Where taking each step one day at a time
You can't loose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone
'Cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong'
He could feel the strong feelings that were portrayed through the words as Caylee sung in her angelic voice to him and only him.
'No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're aloud to cry
'Cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong'
Seto looked up at Caylee as the song faded to a finish. Her eyes held concern. It was like she was anticipating a bad reaction from him.
'Caylee's pretty deep if she saw me through that song,' he thought as the words drifted through his mind.
She had been right. The song had truly spoken of him. He was 'sick of the rain, after all he had been through'.
"Thanks Caylee," he whispered.
She cracked a small smile and placed a hand on top of his. He felt the rush through his body at the simple touch and looked up into her eyes. She had a sweet look in her eyes that he couldn't quite place. Caylee gave his hand a small squeeze and held it there.
He had the urge to never let go. Afraid that if he did, he would lose something very precious.
