Away with the Faeries
So I know this has been a fairly short fic again but I'll get started on the next one ASAP.
This is a short chapter so I will warn you now.
Thanks to HopelessRomantic183 and Dragongal. I'm glad you liked how I added you names into the last chapter.
I'll get to work on the next two stories as voted for.
Anything you recognise is not mine.

Chapter 5
Seto's P.O.V.
I missed Kisara instantly. It turns out that Pegasus was still assuming that I was going to marry his daughter. I set him straight once and for all on that one.
"When my brother and I went away I met someone and she's a Hell of a lot better than you're daughter." I snarled, causing him to stare at me in shock.
"Now would you get out of my office!" I said, turning my attention to my work. That had actually seemed to get the message through his thick skull as he left me alone after that. I spoke to Kisara on the phone whenever I could but it didn't really do much for how much I missed her smile or having her near me. Perhaps the biggest shock was that Kisara missed me just as much. About 5 months after Mokie and I had returned home I received a call from someone I didn't expect.
"Mr Kaiba, there's an Iola Ddriag on the phone for you. She says that she knows you and your brother." Toshiko, my secretary said through the intercom.
"Put her on please Toshiko." I said, wondering why Iola was calling.
"Hello?" She asked, obviously unsure of herself.
"Iola, what's the matter?" I asked in return.
"It's Kisa, I'm really worried about her. She misses you so much. She's constantly in tears and she's hardly eating now." Iola replied sadly.
"I miss her too but whenever I start to make plans to visit something comes up." I sighed, it was strange how much I was needed when I was making plans to visit Kisara.
"Well I have an idea. How about you come here at Christmas, people will have to understand that you want to go away for a bit then. I'll tell Kisa that some friends are coming but I'll keep it a surprise. It'll make her so happy!" Iola suggested. The more I thought about her idea, the better it sounded.
"That does sound like a good idea. When do you want me and Mokie there?" I asked, smiling to myself.
"How about Christmas Eve?" She replied sounding happy. I laughed lightly.
"We'll be there." I answered.
"Brilliant! I'll make sure that Kisa doesn't mind. She shouldn't do though." Iola laughed before we said goodbye. I made plans that afternoon for the trip and that evening I told Mokie that we would be going away for Christmas. I wouldn't tell him where though, no matter how much he asked me. That was one thing I decided to keep secret.
As I needed directions to Kisara's cottage I called Yugi again.
"Hello, Kame Game Shop." He said.
"Hello Yugi, I'm going to need directions from Caernarfon Airport to Kisara's cottage. Mokie and I are surprising her at Christmas." I said.
"That sounds like a good idea. She's not well. She's really pale and not eating. I think she's pining for you." Yugi said, this information made me pause. Briefly I remembered what Yugi had told me about his mother, about how she'd pined for his father and eventually died from it. I swore to myself that I wouldn't let that happen to my Kisara.
Even though I wouldn't tell Mokie where we were going, he figured it out. Especially when he saw my present for Kisara. Bless him he was very excited. He even insisted on choosing his presents for Kisara and Iola himself. The flight to Wales was uneventful and under much pleasanter circumstances than the previous one. I rented a car and drove us out to Kisara's cottage, paying careful attention to the directions Yugi had given me. He'd flown with Mokie and I but he wasn't staying with Kisara, he was actually staying with Kiera. Apparently they'd become much closer the last time he'd visited Kisara, less than two months previous, and they'd quickly become a couple. Funnily enough it was fairly easy for me to find my way, it was almost as if some instinct was leading me in the right direction. When we were about 5 minutes away I looked slyly at Mokie from the corner of my eye.
"I know you've got Iola's phone number, why don't you text her and say that we're about 5 minutes away." I smiled. He quickly did as I suggested and for the rest of the journey he was texting away to her. As we pulled up in the deep snow outside the cottage I could hear the sound of Christmas music playing inside and there was smoke coming from a chimney. The door suddenly opened and Iola ran out.
"You're here!" She grinned excitedly, rushing to give Mokie and I a hug, although when she hugged Mokie they both turned bright red. She was wearing yet another pair of distressed jeans and a light cream turtleneck jumper with a pair of grey boots, the beret that she'd been wearing when we first met her and a matching scarf. She was also wearing striped gloves. In her ears was a small pair of snowflake earrings with a matching snowflake pendant around her neck. On her right wrist she had a small silver snowflake charm bracelet. We quickly moved our stuff up into the guest bedrooms, funnily enough, the exact same ones where we'd stayed before. Then Iola asked us to quietly follow her to the kitchen. Kisara was stood at her stove cooking with a slightly sad expression on her face. She was wearing the same jeans, shoes and jewellery as when I'd first met her with plain black eyeliner and her usual bright red lipstick. I wasn't sure what t-shirt she was wearing but she was wearing a black turtleneck sweater.
"Kisa! They're here!" Iola grinned as she bounded into the kitchen. The effect her words had on Kisara was instant. She stiffened slightly and made her facial expression more neutral.
"Iola, you should have told me…" She started as she turned towards us. She stopped and let out a little gasp as she saw me.
"Seto!" She said as she almost flew across the room and into my arms. I laughed gently as I pulled her closer to my body.
"Surprise." I whispered in her ear.
"I can't believe you're here!" She smiled, looking so happy that she was practically glowing.
"Iola helped me sort everything out." I smiled back, continuing to hold her close.
Hours later, after Mokie and Iola had gone to bed to wait for Santa (both of them still believed in him, it turns out that neither of us had had the heart to tell them the truth yet), Kisara and I were sat by the fire together.
"I've missed you, you know." I said quietly. She looked at me, her eyes soft.
"I missed you too." She whispered before kissing me gently. It was a fairly short and sweet kiss and, as soon as it finished, she snuggled up against my side. I wrapped my arms around her and closed my eyes, revelling in the feeling of her in my arms. I'm not sure how long we sat like that but after a while I reached carefully into my pocket and pulled out a small box covered with black satin.
"I was going to give this to you tomorrow but I can wait any longer." I said in reply to her questioning look. Carefully she picked the box up and, with trembling fingers opened it. She gasped when she saw what was inside.
There, nestled in among black silk, was a silver ring with a round diamond and two teardrop-shaped sapphires.
"Kisara, will you marry me?" I asked.
