Dani~chan: Okay this next chapter is a bit OOC but I did add a little something that a reviewer recommended. See if you can spot it.

Seto: Dani~chan does not own YuGiOh or "Journey To The Past" from the animated movie 'Anastasia', but she does own Caylee.

ENJOY


Caylee smiled as she waved goodbye to the two Kaiba brothers. They waved back and entered the limo as it drove them away to another school day. She chuckled at the reaction Seto was going to get when his friends from the 'geek squad' saw the line of hickeys covering his neck that she had put on when he had been sleeping – it was her payback for embarrassing her in front of Mokuba.

She returned to the warm mansion and sighed as the maids went about their business, cleaning the main areas of the mansion. She sighed, knowing that she was going to be spending another day in the music room.

She stopped herself as she had been about to move towards the stairs.

Caylee was kind of tired of staying alone in the mansion all day, she wanted to go somewhere familiar even if she was still alone again. She walked away from the stairs and down the hall to the ballroom.

It was quiet and no maid had been down there in weeks, meaning that she was alone but somewhere different.

Caylee ran her hand along the balustrade that ran along the edge of the columns. She began to fiddle with the iPod she had been given by Mokuba to find an old song that she remembered from when she was little – one from a movie that had grown to love dearly and knew every word to every song that was on it.

As the song began to play, a memory started to appear.


~Flashback~

She puffed and panted as she tried to run as far as she could. She just wanted to be anywhere else but near the man who had tried to hurt her.

Tears were pouring down her face as she came to realise that her life had gone from bad to worse. Not only had she lost her family but she had also lost her freedom and home.

She had nowhere to go, not if she didn't want to be caught.

"Hey are you alright?" a soft voice said from behind her.

She gasped and turned around to see a boy about the same age as her looking down at her with concern in his eyes. She wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to strong.

"I'll be okay," she whispered, hoping that she would be.

He looked at her with worry as the boy held his hand out, "Come on, I'll take you home,"

"I can't. I don't have a home anymore," she said, holding her hands to her chest, afraid to take his hand.

The boy gasped and then tried again, "Hey its okay. I don't have a home either; I'm living at the orphanage with my little brother. Come on, I'll take you there,"

She shook her head. The man would still be after her if she went to an orphanage, he could track her if they ever found out who she was.

"I can't, he'll find me," she cried.

"Who will?" he asked.

She shook her head. She was the only one who needed to be in danger, not him and his little brother.

"I can't say, you need to look after your little brother not me. I'll be fine," she whispered.

She clutched at the necklace that was the only reminder of her mother – a silver rose pendant hung from the chain.

"What happened to your family?" she asked.

The boy looked away and she was suddenly afraid that she had hurt the boy.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," she whispered.

The boy looked at her suddenly, and then knelt before her, taking her shoulders and hugging her.

"No, its okay. My mom died when my little brother was born and my dad died in an accident. It's just me and my little brother now. I'm hoping someone will adopt both of us so we don't have to be separated," he stated.

She smiled, "I hope someone will too. You need to be together no matter what. Family is important,"

He smiled back at her and hugged her.

A song suddenly came to her mind, one that seemed right for both of them at the time. She softly sung to the boy, hoping he would get the message.

Heart, don't fail me now!

Courage, don't desert me!

Don't turn back now that we're here.

People always say

Life is full of choices.

No one ever mentions fear!

Or how the world can seem so vast

On a journey ... to the past.

Somewhere down this road

I know someone's waiting

Years of dreams just can't be wrong!

Arms will open wide.

I'll be safe and wanted

Finally home where I belong.

Well, starting now, I'm learning fast

On this journey to the past

Home, Love, Family.

There was once a time

I must have had them, too.

Home, Love, Family,

I will never be complete

Until I find you...

One step at a time,

One hope, then another,

Who knows where this road may go

Back to who I was,

On to find my future.

Things my heart still needs to know.

Yes,

Let this be your sign,

Let this road be mine!

Let it lead me to my past

And bring me home...

At last!

The boy looked at her softly, tears almost falling down his face and small smile spread across his face.

"Thankyou," he whispered.

She smiled back and then looked down at her necklace and then back at the boy and decided he needed it more than she did.

She pulled the necklace from around her neck and placed it around his. He looked at her in confusion and was about to take it off and give it back to her.

"No please, take it. Think of it as a good luck charm. I hope that somebody will take you and your brother home so that you can have a family again. I hope that you find true happiness someday," she prayed placing the rose against his heart.

He looked at her and then smiled, taking his hand in hers and leaning forwards.

Her breath hitched as placed his lips on hers, giving her a soft kiss.

"Thank you. I hope that we can meet again someday and that you can meet my little brother and my new family," he whispered.

She smiled as a blush ran across her cheeks.

Darkness was descending as night began to fall. They stood up, hands still entwined. She looked into his eyes and leaned forward for one last kiss. He blushed when she did.

As she let go of his hand, all warmth seemed to leave her as she turned and ran away without a backwards glance, knowing it would hurt all the more.

"We'll meet again, I promise," she whispered.

~End Flashback~


Caylee sighed and opened her eyes as the song ended.

She still hoped that he had found a family. It was all she could hope for. Even now that she was living with Seto, she couldn't hope to find him again, not knowing what his name was.

The door opened behind to reveal a maid with the phone in her hand.

"Excuse me Miss Caylee, phone call for you. Someone called Mai," the maid said.

"Thanks Kimeko, I'll take it now," Caylee stated, taking the phone.

Kimeko smiled, bowed and walked away to do her duties.

"Hey Mai, what's up?" Caylee started, exiting the room and leaving the memory behind.


Seto growled as he stomped up the front steps listening to the other laugh at him even more.

He still couldn't believe that Caylee would put hickeys on his neck where everybody could see him. His so-called friends had given him grief the whole day. She was so in for it when he got to her.

"We're home," Mokuba cried out.

Caylee stood in the foyer and smiled. Mai was with her and smiling as well. He was confused; he hadn't known that she knew Mai.

"Hey how was your day?" Caylee asked, innocently.

"Don't give me that innocent look, you know what you did," he growled.

Her smile turned smug and she strode forward, shocking him as she placed her arms around her neck and pulled herself up to kiss him on the lips. He soon melted into the kiss, forgetting all about his anger as he pulled her closer.

She pulled back and pouted, giving the cutest puppy eyes.

He chuckled, "Alright, alright, you're forgiven,"

She smiled, giving him another peck on the lips and let go, dragging Mai away and into the lounge room, with the biggest smirk on her face like she knew something he didn't.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT KAIBA?" Bakura and Marik shouted.

His smile fell from his face as he realized what the smirk on her face was about.

She had just left him to the vultures she called brothers.


Caylee chuckled as she watched Seto collapse onto the bed, exhausted. It had been kind of mean to leave him alone with her psychotic 'brothers' but it had been hilarious to hear him stutter in fear.

Though she, Malik and Ryou had to get them to tone down some of the threats that they were going to live up to if he ever hurt her. She rather liked him with all limbs attached.

She strode over to the bed and sat on her knees, pulling his head onto her lap and played with his hair. He sighed at the movement, his muscles seemed to relax as he did and he rolled over to look up at her face. Blue eyes bored in emerald ones.

"Thanks for the help out there," he said sarcastically.

She giggled, then frowned, noticing the silver chain that was around his neck.

She had never noticed her boyfriend wearing another necklace other than the card locket that held the picture of Mokuba when he was younger.

Curiosity got the better of her as she pulled on the chain to see what dangled from the chain.

She gasped, letting go of the pendant and jumped off the bed. She stood shocked at the silver pendant hanging around his neck, one that she remembered as clears as day.

Seto looked at her in confusion and worry, he leapt to his feet as she continued standing in shock.

"Caylee, snap out it, you're scaring me. What's the matter?" he cried, shaking her roughly.

Caylee's eyes couldn't move off the silver pendant that could be seen as plain as day against his chest.

A silver rose, delicate and fragile, hung from the silver chain. The same one that she had given to the boy from the orphanage and the same one that had belonged to her mother.

Her promise and wish had come true!


Seto couldn't help but worry about Caylee. She hadn't moved from the spot in minutes, he was close to slapping her to bring her back to reality.

Caylee slowly blinked her eyes as if she was trying to wake herself from the dream and reached for the little silver rose hanging around his neck, caressing it lightly as if she thought she would break it.

He looked at her thoughtfully at her reaction to the necklace. A girl on the streets had given him it when he had been at the orphanage. It was just like the girl had said – it was his good luck charm, the one thing that he had held dear in the hope of a better life for him and Mokuba, as well as a family that would care for them. While it may have happened in a different order to what the girl had said that time, he had still gotten that in the form of Mokuba and Caylee. He just wished he could find the girl and help her, but it had been dark and he couldn't remember ever really seeing what she looked like or at least gotten her name.

Caylee looked up at him with tears in his eyes, she softly began to sing – words that he had never forgotten.

Heart, don't fail me now!

Courage, don't desert me!

Don't turn back now that we're here.

Her eyes turned soft as shock ran through his body at the words she had sung.

"Even after all this time, you still kept this necklace. In a way, my prayer did come true. You and Mokuba did get to stay together after all," she whispered.

He chuckled, "I can't believe that you are the same girl is met all those years ago. Maybe I can start to believe in destiny and fates if this is how we met again. I never forgot about you,"

She smiled, "No one ever forgets their first kiss,"


Dani~chan: Hope you liked it, it was a bit obvious that the little orphan boy was Seto.

Seto: *rolls his eyes*

Dani~chan: You keep that up and you might just get no 'luvins' from Caylee next chapter.

Seto:*pales and runs to find Caylee*

Dani~chan: *Smirks* while he's gone, please READ & REVIEW! Still the most reviewed story yet folks!.

NEXT TIME: Unknown at the moment . . . :(
