Let the drama continue!
I do not own YuGiOh or YuGiOh GX. I do own Caylee, Caleena and Liana though. Also I do not own the song "Last Night On Earth" by Delta Goodrem.
ENJOY!
Evil Caylee voice
Footsteps could be heard walking towards them from down the hall. Seto looked up, hoping that it was Caylee who was walking towards them.
It was Jaden who was walking towards them.
Seto felt his heart drop to his stomach and looked down in disappointment. But he knew that it would take a lot more to earn Caylee's forgiveness. A tear fell down his face at what he had lost because of his anger and rash moment that had torn them apart.
"Mom told me to bring you to the ball room," Jaden stated before walking away, expecting them to follow in his lead.
Seto followed, his heart pounding at the aspect of seeing Caylee alive and in his arms (if he could).
They followed Jaden down many halls until they reached the large doors of the ballroom. Opening them, Jaden stepped to the side so that they could walk forward.
Darkness clouded the room and the cold seemed to seep into their bones as they stepped forward.
Seto looked down to see Mokuba shivering with cold and fear.
"S-Seto, w-what's g-going o-on?" Mokuba stuttered.
"I don't know Mokie, but I'll protect you," Seto stated, drawing his little brother closer.
"How can you when you won't even be able to protect yourself?" a voice carried through the darkness.
The voice sent shivers down his spine as the words were hissed out in anger and hate.
Seto looked around the shadows, trying to locate the source of the voice. His eyes widened as the person who had spoken stepped out of the darkest form of shadows.
Caylee walked out into the open, adorned in black clothing, once emerald eyes black as night and her hair a dark red, almost like a fire lined with darkness. The smirk on her face was almost . . . evil. He had never seen such a look on her before.
He gulped as a phrase came to his mind.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
"So the mighty Seto Kaiba thinks that he can just waltz back into my life like nothing has every happened, does he?" Caylee stated, walking towards him.
"No Caylee that's not what I want, please just listen to me . . ."
"Why should I listen Kaiba? You didn't listen to me before; you didn't even let me explain before you decided to kick me out! And now you come back begging for forgiveness!" she cried.
He winced at her harsh but true words. It was the truth plain and simple, he could not deny it.
Caylee stood tall and strong as she looked down on him from the higher steps of the ballroom.
"And now you shall pay," she stated.
A giant wave of dark energy burst towards them, sending them all crashing into the walls. Seto groaned in pain. He looked around and saw that Mokuba was leaning heavily the wall, whimpering as he held onto his arm.
"Mokuba!" he cried, rushing to his little brother's side.
He looked at his little brother to see him crying pain before standing up and growling at Caylee.
"Leave the others out of this Caylee! Its me you want, not them! Just leave them be!" he cried, holding his hands out as if to protect them.
"All the better for me," she cried before another wave of magic was sent through the air.
Seto gasped, as the magic seemed to pass right through him. He turned just in time to see the others thrown out of the dark ball room and into the light-filled hallway before the doors slammed shut and the darkness consumed it once again, locking him from the inside.
He turned and gulped, seeing Caylee prowl towards him, like that of a lioness during a hunt.
She laughed as he backed away from her; truly afraid of the one he loved for the first time since knowing her.
"Oh is little Kaiba scared of little old me?" she said, like she was cooing at a baby.
"Don't patronize me!" he cried, trying to buy himself some time to figure out a plan.
A ball of darkness formed in her hand and she threw it at Seto, hitting him fair in chest, sending him flying. His back hit the wall with an almighty thump. Seto cried out as the pain travelled along his spine.
"You tore out my heart that day Seto Kaiba. I thought maybe, given time, I could tell you on my own and that you would still love me for who I am not something I had been so long ago," Caylee said walking forward.
"I still do love you Caylee, that has not changed," he cried, trying to reason with her.
Caylee growled, before lifting him to his feet by his shirt and throwing him back to the centre of the ballroom.
"But on the day that should have been one of the best days of our lives, you tore that apart. I had wanted to spend the rest of my life with you but you didn't let me talk, you let your anger get the better of you," she cried, kicking him backwards to slide along the floor, "I have never wanted the money I was born into even when I had it, I just wanted someone to love me for me, someone I could have my own family with and do something I loved without rejection or fear. My mother knew that, that was why I never learnt anything about the company. My brother was the one to take over it, not me. But now because of one man's greed for power and money, that is all on my shoulders,"
Seto gasped and scurried back, trying to get to his feet as Caylee walked forward.
"Was that what you were afraid of? That I would take away you precious company from you? I was happy with the little money I earned while living on the streets. None of that has ever mattered to me,"
Caylee growled as she continued to stalk forward, giving Seto enough time to get back to his feet.
"You always let your anger get the better of you. You let it consume you and it is this anger that will ultimately be your downfall!" Caylee cried, summoning a sword from the darkness.
Seto looked down in defeat, before falling to his knees and lowering his head. Something he would have never done for anyone else.
"I will not fight you Caylee. To fight you would mean that I have done nothing wrong but I have wronged you in so many ways. If killing me makes things better, then do so. Please just make sure that Mokuba has a home," he said, letting tears fall down his face before looking back up Caylee, "I just want to let you know that I'm sorry about what I have done and that I still love you, no matter what has happened between us,"
Seto lowered his head once again waiting for the final blow.
He heard banging against the doorway behind him as someone pounded on the door, trying to open it.
Darkness burst away from the door as the doors were thrown off their hinges and turned into dust as three attacks of Shadow Magic burst forward.
The three Yami's burst forward, summoning black swords from the shadows. They rushed forward to attack Caylee as they were defending Seto.
Seto tried to stop them but Yami rushed forward slashing at Caylee. As the sword was brought down on her, her figure disappeared, along with the darkness that had been present in the room.
Seto looked around to see Yami, Bakura and Marik looking confused. The others stepped in the room, the same confusion appeared on their faces.
"Where is Caylee?" Mokuba asked.
"She disappeared after Yami attacked her," Bakura stated.
Liana stepped forward into the room and looked around, "Did she disappear in a dark shadow or disappear in thin air?"
"Thin air," they stated.
Liana sighed and continued to look around the room as if searching for something.
"It wasn't Caylee, it was an astral, just like the one that was shot," she explained.
"Then where is she?" Seto asked, looking over at Jaden.
Before Jaden could speak, Mokuba cried out, "Caylee!"
Seto looked to where Mokuba was pointing to see Caylee standing on the balcony over looking the ballroom.
When she saw him looking at her, she turned around in a whirl of hair and ran.
"Caylee wait!" Seto cried, running after her.
Only one thought ran through his mind.
'I'm not going to lose her again,'
Caylee ran.
Her powers were out of control as were her emotions. Tears fell down her face as she ran down the hallways.
She gasped as part of her magic allowed her to enter Seto's mind.
Tears of happiness fell down her face at the thought she heard.
"He still loves me," she whispered as the thought continued through her mind.
'I'm not going to lose her again,'
Seto panted as he stopped and leant against a wall, trying to catch his breath.
The mansion seemed like a maze and he was the rat trying to find the exit, only he was trying to find Caylee.
The keys of a piano could be heard through the hallways. It soon followed the soft melody that followed the soft keys from the piano.
It's the last night on earth before the great divide
My hands are shaking time was never on our side
And there's no such thing as a beautiful goodbye
As an ordinary day I prayed for you a thousand times
It's never enough
No matter how many times I tried to tell to tell you this is love
Seto stopped at a junction in the halls and followed the music as it floated through the hallways. The message within in the song was heart wrenching.
If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first?
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth
A penny for your thoughts
A picture so it lasts
Let's knock down the walls of immortality
Your fingers on my skin only you can hear my fear
Only you can help me heal
I see forever with you here
It's never enough no matter how many miles stand between us this is love
Caylee still loved him. What had she heard? Did she forgive him? Would they still be together afterwards?
The questions buzzed around his mind like a horde of bees as he ran closer to the source of the music.
If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first?
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth
It's never enough
No it's never enough
(It's never enough)
Oohh
The afterglow
The horizon line
The shadows fall
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine I ask?
If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first?
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth
Seto had stopped outside of what appeared to be the music room in the mansion as the last keys on the song faded in the air.
He placed his head on the doorway, trying to figure out the best way to approach what had happened between them. Nothing came to him.
"Damn it, looks I'm about to pull a Wheeler," he whispered.
He was just going to wing it.
Seto pushed the door open softly, peeking into the room, trying to stay hidden.
He saw Caylee playing around with the keys before she sighed and looked towards the door.
"I know your there Seto, come on in," she stated as she went back to playing with the keys.
Seto grimaced and held his breath as he pushed the door open fully, not slamming it, just making so it was opened softly.
He walked over and kneeled by his side, placing a hand on hers, giving it as squeeze as he looked at her for the first time in three months.
Caylee was paler, her eyes a little duller and not so full of life and fire as they had been before. Her hair seemed to droop and looked duller as well. She wore baggy clothes, unlike her usual form fitting ones, and he could only guess that they were hiding her ribs that were probably showing underneath.
She looked sick and depressed.
And Seto was sick inside because he knew had been the cause of this.
"Oh gods, what have I done?" he whispered, letting a tear fall down his face.
"Seto, I'm just ill, don't worry about it," she replied, lifting his chin so that she could look in her eyes.
His eyes widened at that, "But it was because of . . ."
"It was partly because of you and partly because of the fear I've been under that Rider may find out I was still alive," Caylee stated, looking down.
Seto gasped and realised that Caylee didn't know.
"Caylee, look at me," he asked, and waited until emerald eyes turned to him, "He's gone, Rider was caught and arrested. You're free,"
Emerald eyes widened with shock before tears of happiness fell down her face as she realized the truth. She was finally free from her fears.
"Caylee, I love you and you have no idea how bad I felt when I actually realized that I had made the biggest mistake of my life when I kicked you out, I'm sorry that I didn't let you speak that day," Seto apologised.
Caylee smiled slightly before her smile turned into a downtrodden frown, "Seto, no one had ever known who I really was. Even DJ didn't know and I have been really close to him for the past six years, he became the father that I had lost. Yet I still didn't trust him, I became so paranoid over the years that if I told someone, I would be stabbed in the back for it,"
Seto nodded and looked down to the ground in disgrace. He had truly blown it.
"Caylee, will you ever be able to forgive me for what I have done?" Seto whispered.
Caylee looked at him for what seemed minutes and dread soon filled his heart, she would never be able to forgive him.
He was about to stand up when Caylee spoke, "I know what you said to Caleena,"
Seto looked at her in shock, "But Caleena said that you were asleep when her spirit came out,"
"What Caleena doesn't know is that I would dream about what she was doing while her spirit was out. I don't have any of her memories at the moment but I guess that will come later on. I heard what you said," Caylee explained, before holding her hand out, "May I see it?"
Seto wondered what she meant before it clicked and he pulled out the box that held the ring that Caylee's mother had worn for her engagement to Caylee's father.
Caylee opened the box and traced her finger over the beautiful diamonds set in the gold ring, "I remember my mother wearing this all the time when she was alive. She said it was an heirloom and had been my grandmother's engagement ring; my grandmother gave it to my father when he was going to propose to my mother. My mother had promised me that she would give it the man who wanted to propose me so that tradition would soon follow,"
Seto sat there stunned at the history behind the ring, before swallowing his nervousness and went down on one knee and took the box from her hands, leaving a confused Caylee looked at him with her brilliant emerald eyes, the fire returning slowly to them.
He pulled the ring from the box and took her left hand and looked up at with nervousness in his eyes, "Caylee, even after all we've been through and all I have done, I love you dearly. My little street rat, my dancer, my Queen, my soul mate. Will you do me the honour of marrying me?"
Caylee eyes widened in shock, before looking at the ring to his eyes and back again. Whatever she had seen had helped her resolve.
Caylee launched herself into his arms and kissed him deeply. He fell flat on his back and was just able to hold onto the ring so that it wasn't sent flying. He kissed her back just as deeply, happy with the reaction.
They soon had to part to breathe, leaving them both panting for air as Caylee laid her forehead against his, a breathless smile spread across her face as she answered his question.
"Yes," she replied, "But I hope you do realize that Jaden is a part of my package deal,"
Seto chuckled, "Jaden was looking after you and seemed very protective of you when we met him, we will get along just fine,"
Caylee smiled and helped him back onto his feet and he took her left hand and placed the ring on his fiancés finger. The diamonds seemed to glimmer with a light that was reflected in Caylee's eyes.
They both smiled at each other until an afterthought crossed his mind.
"Caylee what was the news that the doctor told you day?" he asked, wondering what she had been so happy about.
Caylee's eyes widened as she realised she hadn't told him yet, but the smile just spread wider across her face.
"Just something about my condition," she stated vaguely, almost toying with him.
"Caylee," he whined with a pout.
Caylee grinned.
"Seto," she started, grabbing his hand and placed it on her stomach, showing him that it was hard and large, "I'm four months pregnant,"
Seto's eyes widened at his fiancé as he looked down from her eyes to her stomach.
Nothing came to his mind as the words 'pregnant' finally clicked in his mind.
Seto fainted.
Yeah, yeah, Miko you win. She's the only one who guessed about. . . a couple of chapters ago that Caylee was pregnant when Seto kicked her out.
Also, please don't kill me about Caylee forgiving Seto way to easily but the astral this time was a test to Caylee to see if Seto was truly remorseful or she wouldn't have forgiven him so easily.
Anyway, PLEASE READ & REVIEW!
I will try and do the next stages of the pregnancy and possibly the wedding in the next chapter.
JA NE! Now I can go swimming!
