A/N: I'm taking suggestions and requests from my readers for what they want to see in my fic. I'm not making any promises but send a review or a message and I'll do my best!
-----------------------------
Kisara stood in the guest room Seto had allowed her to stay in. She had just taken a shower to warm herself up and was now standing in clothes she had taken from Seto's closet. Seto had allowed her to take whatever she wanted to sleep in while he went to talk to Mokuba to let him know she'd be staying here. Seto said he would send someone to pick up Kisara's clothes in the morning.
She had taken a plain black tee shirt, which was surprisingly hard to find as most of Seto's clothes were more expensive things, and a pair of blue pajama pants that were baggy on her.
She walked out of her room and began crossing the hall to go to Seto's when she heard a door to the right open. "Hey, Kisara, are you going to see Seto?"
Kisara blushed spinning around, feeling awkward that she'd be caught in Seto's clothes going into his room. "Mokuba, hi," she said.
"Seto says that you're going to be staying here a while," Mokuba said.
"Yeah, I've run into a bit of trouble," Kisara said, not knowing how much Seto had told his brother.
Mokuba smiled. "I'm glad you're here, Kisara. Seto's been a lot happier lately since you've been with him."
Kisara smiled. "Thanks, Mokuba," she said. "Your brother has done a lot for me."
"Whatever he's done for you, you've probably done more for him. Just being able to see him smile so much is like a miracle. But when he cares about someone, it's just the way he is to do a lot for them. It used to be only me, but sometimes I was afraid he gave up too much," Mokuba said.
"What do you mean?" Kisara asked.
"When we were in the orphanage, a lot of people wanted to adopt Seto. Nice caring people that would've given him a loving home, but none of them could adopt the both of us, so he turned them all down. He finally got Gozaburo to adopt us, but he was always harsh on Seto. That's when my big brother started losing himself I think."
"Losing himself?"
"Gozaburo pushed him really hard. He threw away everything Seto had that wasn't related to his studies. I saved his duel monsters cards, and drew him a Blue-Eyes, because he'd always loved that card and wanted one for himself, and that was his escape. But eventually under Gozauburo's treatment Seto became cold, and his escape became more like an obsession. He still cared about me, but he wasn't ever happy anymore, and he always kept everyone at a distance. Everyone thought he was just a jerk, but I think he was just afraid and confused."
"Wow," Kisara said.
Mokuba's eyes had dropped to the floor during the conversation, but he looked up again. "You know what, though? He's never complained, and he's never blamed me. And now you're here, and he's happy again. I don't know how you do it, Kisara, but thanks."
"You're welcome, Mokuba," Kisara said quietly. She had gotten the general idea that things had been bad for Seto before, but she didn't think Seto had gone through so much.
"Have a good night," Mokuba smiled, closing his door behind him.
---------------------
"You know we need to find out what happened to Kisara, exactly," Seth was saying to Seto.
Seto looked at the projection of his past self. "Yeah, we need to know what we're up against. But... it sounded on the phone like she knew the guy."
"Perfect timing," Seth observed.
"Come in," Seto called. The door opened and Kisara walked in, closing the door behind her.
She looked up at Seto, "Hi."
"Hi, Kisara," he said.
"Thank you again for letting me stay here," Kisara said.
"I told you I wasn't going to let anything happen to you, Kisara. These past few weeks I haven't been doing much to make sure that I can keep that promise. I'm not going to make that mistake again. I'm not letting you out of my sight unless it's absolutely necessary," Seto told her.
Kisara nodded and smiled.
"Kisara, we need to know what happened earlier," Seto said.
"Right," she said, looking down. "I was carrying my jacket over my head because it was raining, but the wind blew it away down and alley. That's when I ran into Yukio-"
"You know this person?" Seto asked.
"He-he was the person who I told you saw what happened before I left. It seemed so much like last time," Kisara said. "I don't know why the Blue-Eyes didn't come out this time." She paused. "Last time he said he was going to kill me when he was done, that he couldn't risk me causing any trouble. He-he even had a knife. That's when the Blue-Eyes came out. This time he said he's let me live, and he didn't have a weapon."
"She can only call the Blue-Eyes subconsciously if her life is in danger, or if the person she loves is in trouble," Seth recalled.
Seto looked at Seth. "Let me take care of this," he said silently. Seth nodded and seemed to disappear.
Seto walked over to Kisara. He placed his hand under her chin and tilted her head up, and Kisara closed her eyes, tears falling down her face. He wiped her tears away gently and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Kisara, how do you know that he was with the people who are after you?" Seto asked. She opened her eyes and looked up at him, her eyes showing hurt and fear.
"He told me. He said he met people who were interested in what he had to tell them, and that they sent him to bring me back alive. He was the only one who could've told them it was me," she said.
"Why would they have him join them?" Seto asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Everywhere they've gone looking for information about me, the people either join them like Yukio, or die like my parents," Kisara said. She started crying harder.
Seto held her. "Did he do anything to you?"
"No, both times I got away before anything happened," she answered.
"Why was he after you in the first place anyway?" Seto asked.
"He was just some idiot that wouldn't take no for an answer." She took a deep breath and wiped her tears away.
"Are you going to be okay?" Seto asked.
"Yeah, it's just more than I expected to happen today," Kisara said. "I just need some sleep."
"Then go to bed," he said. Kisara nodded, but didn't move. He kissed her. "Good night."
"Good night," she said, turning towards the door. She stopped with one hand on the door and turned around with a strange look on her face. "Didn't you say something a little while ago about not letting me out of your sight unless it was absolutely necessary?" she smirked.
Seto stared at her a moment before he smirked, too. "I did, didn't I?" Kisara nodded. "Well then, I better stick to my word, then. There's no reason you can't stay in here for the night, so this wouldn't qualify as one of those situations where I can allow you to leave"
Seto grabbed her hand and took a few steps backwards, pulling her onto the bed with him. She landed against him and he kissed her quickly. He looked her in the eyes then turned over to the night stand, turning off the light. He lay back on his side and pulled Kisara close to him, wrapping his arms around her.
He kissed the side of her face, "Good night," he said again.
"Good night, Seto," she said. Soon her breaths slowed, and Seto knew she had fallen asleep.
He closed his eyes smiling, and he wished that he could spend every night with Kisara in his arms.

A/N: Just to make sure everyone's clear on this; they didn't do anything! Sometimes it's just nice to have someone there to hold, or to be held by.
