Kisara got out of the car after they pulled up at her house. "Bye, Mokuba, it was nice meeting you," she said.

"Bye, Kisara. Same here," Mokuba answered.

"Bye, Seto, I'll see you in school tomorrow," Kisara said.

"Bye," he answered.

"Oh, and Seto?" Kisara asked, causing him to look up. "Thank you. For everything."

Seto nodded and Kisara smiled a turned around to go into her house.

----------------

Kisara walked into to homeroom the next morning, seeing Seto there as he usually was.

"Good morning, Seto," she said.

"Good morning," he said, turning around to face her, and Kisara realized it wasn't Seto she was talking to.

"Oh, hi Seth," Kisara said.

Seth chuckled. "Things certainly have changed since I've been around," he said, looking around the classroom."

"A couple of thousand years can do that," Kisara said, causing Seth to chuckle again.

"I suppose it can."

Kisara looked down. "I'm sorry about how I acted the other day," she said.

"You have nothing to apologize for. If anything you should be the one getting an apology. You've had a lot to take in over these past few days," Seth answered.

Kisara shrugged. "You recognized me," she said, remembering.

"Yes," Seth admitted, his voice tense.

"So I guess I was around when you were alive too, then," Kisara said.

"Yes. But just as Seto and I are different, so are the two of you," Seth responded.

Not that different. Kisara thought. "You seem surprised that I was alive. So I'm guessing the Kisara that you knew died a bit before you did," Kisara observed.

"You're very perceptive. A lot like she was. She some how realized everything that was going on, too. She was able to save me, at least," Seth noted.

"Considering I'm hardly ever told anything, if I weren't perceptive, I'd go through life very confused, now wouldn't I?" Kisara asked.

"True," Seth said.

"My perceptive senses are telling me that you're not in control right now just to learn some Calculus," Kisara joked.

Seth laughed. "No; Seto will be back soon. It's just nice to see what it's like after 3,000 years; and it gives him the chance to get used to not being in control."

Kisara nodded, but she didn't say anything more.

----------------------

Seto was talking to Kisara after school ended when Joey Wheeler walked up to them, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan in tow.

"Ya know, Kaiba," he said. "For someone who was always makin' fun of us 'n callin' us pathetic for havin' friends, ya seem ta be gettin' pretty friendly ya self. Think we didn't notice ya two both skipped school yesterday."

"Joey, just leave him alone," Yugi said.

"Don't you dare compare her to your dweeb patrol. You don't see me making speeches about friendship," Seto said.

"Hey, what do you mean dweeb patrol?" Tristan asked. "We're friends just like you are with Kisara!"

"Ya, money bags, if she ain't ya friend what is she? Ya gotta girlfriend?" Joey laughed as if he had told a joke. "Yeah right, like anyone'd be crazy enough to go out with you. Ya never did have a way with women."

"At least I'm better with woman than you are at card games, though I suppose that really isn't saying much," Seto retorted.

"'Ey, what's that supposed to mean?" Joey asked.

"It means you couldn't duel your way out of a paper bag, Wheeler," Seto said.

"All right, that's it!" Joey shouted.

"I can feel my IQ dropping just from listening to you," Seto said, standing up. "Let's go, Kisara." He stormed past the group, making his way off of school grounds. Kisara followed him.

"Ey, don't you just walk away from me!" Joey called after him.

"Hey, Yugi, did you see that?" Tea asked. She could've sworn that when Kaiba's jacket went back as he stalked past, she had seen something near his hip. The Millennium Rod? Memories from Battle City sent shivers down her spine.

"See what?" Yugi asked.

Tea shook her head. "Nothing." No, it couldn't have been. It was just a trick of the light or something. The Millennium Items were sealed away in Egypt. Even if they weren't, what would Kaiba be doing with one?"

-------------------------

"What was his problem?" Kisara asked, following Seto along the sidewalk.

"Just some second-rate duelist that's part of Yugi's band of personal cheerleaders. I have a bit of a rivalry with that group," Seto said.

"Oh," Kisara said. "Hey wait, where are we walking to?"

"I'm going to Kaiba Corp, I feel like walking today. If you want to come with me I'll just have to catch up on a few things at the office, then we can go somewhere," Seto said.

"Not easy being a child-billionaire, huh?" Kisara joked.

Seto smirked and Kisara yawned. "Tired?" he asked.

"I just didn't sleep much last night," Kisara said.

"Is everything all right?" Seto asked.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about everything," she told him.

"All right," Seto said.

------------------------

There was a sofa and a chair in the lounge outside of Seto's office, where Seto asked Kisara to wait. Half an hour later, Seto walked out of his office.

"I'm sorry that took-" Seto stopped mid-sentence as he saw Kisara asleep on the chair. Seto smiled at her sleeping form, she looked so peaceful and quiet; not at all something you'd expect from the holder of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

He couldn't bear to wake her up, but the chair didn't look very comfortable. She probably hadn't fallen asleep on purpose. He walked up to her and brushed her hair out of her face. He caught himself thinking how beautiful she was.

He picked her up gently to move her to the couch, cradling her in his arms. She shifted her weight, causing him to think he had awoken her, but she just snuggled closer to him.

"Seto," she said in her sleep, breathing deeply. Seto's face burned red. He should've just left her where she was; this was maddening.

He lay her down on the sofa, careful not to wake her up. She mumbled something else that Seto couldn't understand and rolled over in her sleep. Seto couldn't help but smile as he watched her.

He continued watching her sleep for a few minutes before he went and got his laptop and took a seat on the chair. Kisara kept mumbling and turning in her sleep until finally, fifteen minutes later, Seto heard a thump as she rolled over onto the floor.

"Kisara!" he said, getting up. She turned over on her back looking up at him, having awakened from the fall.

"Seto?" she asked, then scrambled up quickly realizing that she was on the ground. "What happened?"

"You fell asleep, but ended up rolling onto the floor," Seto said.

"How long have I been asleep, why didn't you wake me?" she asked.

"I've only been out here fifteen minutes or so. Besides, you need your rest," he said.

Kisara's face was flushed. "I feel like an idiot," she said.

"Don't; you're just tired, and it is a small couch," Seto said.

"So, what do you want to do now?" she asked, yawning.

"Are you sure that you're not going to fall asleep again?"

Kisara laughed. "I'll be fine."

"Hmm," Seto thought. "Seth has wanted to see more of the city," he said.

"Why don't I give him the grand tour then?" Kisara asked.

"You don't mind?" Seto asked.

"I want to do whatever I can to help you and Seth. The onyx reason he's with you is because of me after all," Kisara said.

"It's to make sure whoever it is that's after you doesn't get their way," Seto clarified.

"Right," Kisara said.

"All right, then," Seto said.
