Secrets Kept
By Sailor Phoenix1997
"So is there anything else about you we need to know about?" Noah asked as he clung to a tree's limb for dear life. Seto had Mokuba on his back and was holding onto the tree's truck.
"Yep," Sara said as she grabbed the back of Noah's green t-shirt and pulled him onto her back, "My favorite movie's Sherlock Holmes, my favorite play's Beauty and the Beast, my favorite song's probably the one Beast sings before SIlver Fang Chase. I think it's called If I Can't Love Her. And my least favorite type of food is anything my cousins make." Noah shook his head quickly.
"Not exactly what I had in mind but at least it opens a few things for Seto to do with you on special occasions." Sara jumped for the next limb and then reached for a rock on the mountain.
"Hang on buddy." Sara started climbing. "Whatever you do don't look down." Seto followed her exaple. THey'd ditched the geek squad in the trees some time ago and the four-some were quite happy to be rid of them. About half-way up Sara's phone started ringing in her pocket. "Oh great."
"You want to grab a break up there?" Seto called. He was about ten feet below Sara. But to be fair he hadn't recieved the same type of training she had.
"I'll be fine. What about you?"
"If you can keep going than I most definately can too." Mokuba looked down.
"It's a long fall."
"Didn't Sara say don't look down?" Mokuba hid his eyes in his brother's white jacket as he kept climbing.
Sara pulled Seto up the last two feet of the climb. They both were red in the face and dripping with sweat. Mokuba clamered off his brother's back and ran over to Noah. Sara pulled her cell from her pocket as she sat down on the ground.
"It was Kim. ASking when we'd be back or where there's something to eat."
"Tell them to jump off a cliff and start fishing. THey're mermaids after all."
"Sure. But they're vegitarians. They don't eat meat period. Not even fish."
"What're you two talking about?" Mokuba asked. Sara bit her lip and tapped Seto's chest a little roughly.
"Kidding." Mokuba scoffed and shook his head before returning to his conversation with Noah about soccer.
"Too close," Sara whispered.
"You mean no one else knows?" Seto whipered.
"Strictly not. It's against mermaid law. If it's broken the ones who broke it are instantly in an arranged marrige. Whether or not they love each other."
"Did you know that when you told me?"
"No. I only found out about it a few days after Akunadin fell. I'm sorry."
"Are there loopholes?"
"Relatives, already married, erasing memories, or death."
"Oh. I see."
