The Day He Left, Alone

That night as I laid warm in bed beside the man I was in love with -- I had a dream. I dreamt of the past. It was the day we grew up -- Seto and I. It was my favorite memory. It was during the winter at the time I was only 16. People can change so much in a matter of two years. My stepfather was celebrating his company's 30 years anniversary. So of course I had to dress elegantly. I wore a black strapless cocktail dress. But you couldn't tell it was strapless -- due to my long curly hair. I grabbed myself some punch from the table. I hated company parties. They were so boring. I was merely there so my stepfather would look more like a father-figure -- which met more companies would be his allies. I walked over towards a mirror -- taking a sip from the cheap plastic cups. I stared at myself. My hair was scrunched on top of my head with the longer stands of curls falling down my back and breast. I barely had any make-up on -- I had to push the beauty people, my step-father send, off of me. All I had was dark eye shadow making my hazel eyes pop out more. I didn't feel like myself here -- I felt alone. I signed at my own self. That is when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see who it might be -- probably another man I have to reject to dance with. It was a tall man with long white hair wearing a red velvet suit. One of his eyes remained covered as he stared at me.

"Now why is a girl like you here by yourself?" he asked me.
"I am not here by myself. I am here with my father." I said with a fake smile.
"Oh cut the act I can read you like a little preschool book."
"Oh is it that obvious."
"My name is Maximillion Pegasus. You must be Yuuki Kisara Williams."
"Yes." wondering how he knew my whole name.
"I heard a great deal about you. You might even take over your step-father's company."
"Well I haven't really plan on taking over."
"I sense a great power from you. If you put your mind to it, you will accomplish it."
"Well I am not to sure. Honestly I don't think I want to own a company that sells weapons."
"You know who accomplish their goal and turned everything around in a matter of months?"
"No." I stared at him confused. He was really pushing me to run the company. I took another sip.
"Kaiba boy." he stated. My eyes grew. I almost choked on the punched. I finally swallowed it. "You know Kaiba boy?"
"Yes, ever since we were small." I said sadly. I haven't seen Seto for years now. I missed him. He was a great friend to me.
"You haven't seen him for awhile now huh?"
"I guess not."
"Well I heard he is coming today. But that is only a rumor. You know how anti-social that boy can get."
"Not with me." I said softly. Pegasus stared at me trying to read me.
"Well I must go and introduce myself to my adoring fans. You take care Ms. Williams."

Pegasus walked off at the right moment -- I felt like crying. I looked back at the mirror. My eyes were wet, but I couldn't cry or the shadow would surely run. My nose made a slight noise as I stuffed up my tears. Just smile and grin. I looked up at myself.

"Yuuki?"

I continued to look at the mirror. My eyes glanced at a young man who was much taller then me, even with heels. His icy, blue eyes shown through his long, brown hair. I couldn't move. I couldn't reply to his sturdy voice. I was frozen by his beautiful, curious glare. Why was I reacting to him like this? Pegasus started this whole mess. I blame him. My eyes stared to tear a bit. He walked up to me gently touching my shoulder. His warm hand left an electric current through my spine making me wake up. I tilted my head towards him. I began to loss myself in his eyes. My lips began to move -- roughly, tensed.

"Seto?"
"Yuuki is it really you?"

I nodded my head. Have I really changed that much? I only grew my hair out longer, and I stretched a bit but nothing to drastic.

"Wait." he placed both of his fingers under my eyes, wiping away my tears and eye shadow. "Oh hey Yuuki I thought it was you under there."
"Very funny Seto." I finally smiled.
"I thought tonight would be boring. But luckily I found you. It has been awhile since I saw you."

I couldn't hold it in much longer. I practically tackled Seto. But he was pretty strong to hold both of us up. I embraced him tightly. I didn't want to lose him again. He gave a slight chuckled at me and wrapped his arms around me.

"How you been?" he finally said as we released our embrace.
"I have been alright I guess." I lied -- I lived in misery, torment under my step-father's shadow. "How about you? How is you and your corporation?"
"It has been great. Kaiba Corps has been rocketing through the roofs. Thanks to me who is one of the greatest duelists in the world." he left a smug on his face.
"Yeah whatever."
"Did I hear someone talk about me?" Pegasus strolled between us. "Oh Kaiba boy, so glad for you to come."
"Pegasus." Seto said gridding his teeth.
"We weren't talking about you Mr. Pegasus. Seto was just telling me how he is the greatest duelist in the world."
"Oh Kaiba boy always with those jokes now."
"I am the top duelist." he said with a stern voice.
"Oh come now, Kaiba. Lighten up a bit. We are here to have fun. Now go get Yuuki here more punch, she is thirsty."

Seto turned his head to see my empty cup. He grabbed it and walked off.

"That boy. He is just holding so much emotions in."
"Well you didn't have to aggravate him."
"But I wanted too. It is just so much fun."
"Well I don't think he appreciates it."
"Oh well I just sparked a bone in his body."

I looked away from Pegasus. He was a strange yet amusing man. The way he talked left a chuck in my body. Plus I knew he liked Seto, he just liked to get him all worked up.

"You two are like little children, who believe in cooties. Grow up and become the love birds you are meant to be."
"What?" I said as I turned towards him sharply.

He was gone. What did he meant by that? Seto came back holding a cup full of punch.

"Where did that freak go?" he asked as he handed me my drink.
"I don't know. He just disappeared." I took a sip.

All of sudden music started to play. It was a nice classical music, that played slowly through the air. People started to dance to the song. Bosses with securities -- who probably was cheating on their own wives at home. Co-workers, who were qualified to be with the top men, danced with boardroom's daughters. I stood there admired at the women.

"What are you staring at, Yuuki?" Seto noticed me staring at dancers. "You wanna dance with them?"
"No it is not that. I am impressed women can dance around in heels. I have been standing in the same spot this whole night."

Seto caught himself from laughing. I couldn't believe he was going to laugh at me. That jerk.

"Let me put you in heels and see how you would feel."
"I am sorry Yuuki. It is just that was the cutest thing I heard from you."

My face felt like it was on fire. I was blushing. I quickly turned my face without him noticing.

"So I see you two have met." said a familiar voice.
"Hello, Mr. Williams." Seto said without moving a hand.
"Hello Mr. Kaiba. How are you two getting along?"

I turned my head. He was using me again -- I hated my step-father. He was trying to get in with Seto.

"We are fine. We were just discussing the old times."
"Oh I see. So Yuuki you known Seto all this time?"
"Yes." I looked up to see fire in my step-father's eyes -- I was in trouble.
"I haven't seen her for such a long time. She has grown up to be a very beautiful girl."
"Yes she has." still his eyes peirced me.
"I heard a rumor that you were going to sign contracts with the Yoshmi Co."
"Huh." he turned his gaze towards Seto. "Oh no I haven't even decided but the way the ecomony is going I believe it is better if I just leave them to deal with their own problems."
"Oh I see."
"Yes but hey I here your company is doing great."
"Yes it is."
"Your doing better then your old man."
"Yes. My profit has triple since my father has been retired."
"Yes. Well I would really like to have our company be sisters one day. Until then I will say my good-byes."

Seto watched my step-father leave us. I knew I was going to get at home. But I believe it would be less punishment because of Seto.

"Well, Ms. Williams would you like to dance?"
"Seto..." I stood there shocked.

He grabbed my hand. I took my first step with my heels. I didn't fall. I looked up at Seto and then at our hands fitting perfectly. My heart started to beat faster. What was wrong with me? All of a sudden I tripped over my two left feet. I was going down. Then I felt a strong arm holding me up around my waist. Seto. He was still holding my hand. He smiled at me. I havn't seem him smile like that since he was a child. He lifted me up.

"You clumbsy girl."

That is all he could say to me. I just stood there smiling at him. He knew I was clumbsy. Seto stood in front of me -- as he grabbed my left hand while wrapping his right arm around my waist. I put my loose arm around his neck. I felt like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Dancing with the special man in my life. Placing my head lightly into his shoulder. Hoping it will never end. Hoping it would stay like this forever. Wishing...

I awoke from my slumber. Aware I was left alone in the dark room. Only to find his imprint in the bed, beside me. I crawled out of bed. Where did he go? I walked over towards the door. It opened up. It was Rowland. I stood there waiting for the usual statement.

"Mr. Kaiba has left."
