A/N: A bit shorter than my usual standard, but I'm sure you'll find the content certainly makes up for it.

Kisara showed Seth around Domino, watching him marvel at the everyday things that were there. It's hard to believe that someone who thinks nothing of Spirit Monsters and Magic found a simple photograph so amazing. Eventually, they ended up in the park.

"I saved my favorite place for last. Nothing particularly extraordinary, but it's a nice place to go to relax," Kisara said.

"It seems very peaceful here," Seth observed.

"It's a nice break from the busy city surrounding it. I used to walk here a lot during the summer. I grew up in a small town, I'm not used to the city," Kisara said.

"I know what you mean," Seth said. He took a seat on a bench, while Kisara stood standing up, walking in meaningless patterns around the general area of where he sat.

Kisara looked at him, noticing him looking intently at the empty space on the bench to his left. "What're you looking at?" she asked.

He turned to her, smiling. "Just talking over some things with Seto," he said.

"So you can see him sitting next to you?" Kisara asked.

"He looks more like you'd expect a ghost to, and only I can see him," Seth said.

Kisara walked over to the empty space in front of the bench. "Right here?" she asked.

Seth nodded. "It's actually just a projection of his appearance, we speak with our thoughts. He's not really there."

"Well you can see him, right?"

"Yes," Seth answered.

"And he can see you and everything else as if he was sitting there in his normal body?" Kisara asked.

"Yes," Seth said again.

Kisara smiled. "Then how is he not really there?" She looked at the empty space where Seto could be seen by Seth. Seto looked back up at her, though she couldn't see him, her gaze met his perfectly. They were looking down at him brightly, as if she could see right into his eyes. She reached out ahead of her, wondering if maybe she could sense something there. Her hand stopped and rested on the side of Seto's face, though she had no possible way of knowing this. Seto sat in awe, continuing to look up at her.

"What is real anyway? A few days ago I would say that magic and spirits weren't real, but here you are. Up until I was told about it, to me it didn't exist. It's really all just a matter of believing," she said. Then her smiled faded slightly, and her eyes seemed to become less focused, as if she was now seeing right through Seto, as if it was the empty space that she really saw with her eyes. "I suppose I just sound ridiculous, I'm letting this all get to my head."

She laughed sadly, pulling her hand back. Still unseen by Kisara, Seto put his hand where Kisara's had just been, a rare smile slightly gracing his lips, his eyes still portraying disbelief. It was as if he could have felt her hand, as if she had really touched him.

Kisara looked down at the ground for a couple of minutes, thinking, before looking up at Seth.

"Seth? Do you think I could talk to Seto?" she asked.

Seth smiled. "Sure, no problem," he said. Soon Kisara found herself looking at Seto instead.

"You wanted to talk to me?" he asked.

Kisara smiled. "Come on, let's walk," she said, gesturing towards the path.

Seto stood up and began walking, Kisara keeping up pace at his side. Seto waited for Kisara to say something, but after a while he spoke. "So... what's going on?"

Kisara bit her lip nervously. "Seto, since I've met you, you've done a lot for me," Kisara began. "You became my friend, you helped me find my way around when I was new to school, and you've let me become a part of this world... that I've only dreamed of. You've taken it upon yourself to become my protector; you flew halfway across the world to do so. But... there something else I need to ask of you."

"What is it?" he asked. I'd do anything for you, he thought.

"Seto..." she stopped, and looked him in the eye. "Would you... would you be my boyfriend?" she asked quickly.

Seto stopped dead in his tracks, staring at her. Seto couldn't believe it. She wanted him to be her boyfriend. And she made it sound like she was asking him do to a favor! Nothing, nothing would make him happier. To be with her, to be able to love her, to hold her the way he longed to do, to have her be his, to achieve everything they'd been so cruelly denied the last time around.

Seto thanked whatever magic or destiny it was that had brought her into his life.

Kisara couldn't read his expression beyond the shock on his face. "It's okay if you don't- I mean- I'll understand if you-" she stammered.

"Yes." Seto said.

"What?" She asked incredulously, looking up at him, his face displaying complete seriousness.

"Yes," he said again. "I'll be your boyfriend."

Both of their faces lit up with smiles in the same instant. Seto felt truly happy for the first time in a long time, happier than he could ever remember being. He'd never felt like this before.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes!" Seto said laughed, repeating himself.

She threw her arms around him, squealing with delight, causing Seto to laugh again as he wrapped his arms around her in return. "You seem happy," he observed.

"So do you," Kisara said.

"That's because I am happy," Seto said.

Kisara smiled up at him. "You really should smile more often," she said.

"Maybe now I will," he grinned back. "Now that I'm with you."

"Come on, let's go," Kisara said, releasing him slowly.

Seto took her hand in his own, lacing their fingers together. "Where are we going?" he asked.

"You'll see," Kisara grinned, leading him out of the park.
