The car ride home was pretty silent. Kaiba watched Noelle as she slept. She looked peaceful. For once, she wasn't on edge. She was safe. In all honesty, Kaiba did not want Noelle to go back to her house. He knew what Ken was doing to her. It was wrong. If she was to go back home, she would face the same abuse. The limo was slowly approaching Noelle's house. Kaiba rolled down his limo window and saw that there was a light on downstairs. He knew who it had to be. Kaiba wanted to go inside and beat the living hell out of him. How could he hit this sweet, beautiful and innocent girl? The two had spent the night talking and laughing, something Kaiba hardly ever did. Kaiba's heart was very fond of this girl. He cared for her.

"Hey." Kaiba whispered to his driver.

"Yes? Mr. Kaiba?" The driver answered.

"I need you to pull on the side of the house. I'll be back." The driver did as he was told. He pulled on the side of the brick stoned house. Kaiba silently exited his limo. He saw that Noelle's bedroom window that he had climbed not so long ago was cracked open. He climb back up the window and lifted her window all the way. He gazed around her girly room and didn't see the two objects he was looking for.

"Where are those furry mutts?" Kaiba questioned himself. Just then, Noelle's door opened. Kaiba quickly hid in what seemed to be Noelle's closet. He peaked through the little openings and saw Ken. He wasn't alone. Kaiba clenched his fist. He was only avoiding a fight for Noelle's sake. That bastard brought another man home to do God knows what to Noelle. He heard the two men say something, but, couldn't make it out. He saw the two dogs walk into Noelle's room sniffing around. They must have smelled Kaiba in the room. They seemed to be searching for something or someone. Kaiba watched and waited for the two men to exit the room. When the door closed, Kaiba waited a while before he came out of the closet. He slowly stepped out surprising Moelle and Cameron. The dogs growled at him.

"Relax. I'm here to help you mutts. Let's go." Kaiba scooped each dog in his arm and looked around the lively bedroom. It saddened him that a room that looked like every girls dream room was a place of such terror and discomfort. He gazed at the pick quilt and the vanity covered in flowers and shook his head. He soon hopped out of the window making his way back towards his limo. The night air was frigid and the moon sent a breeze across domino city. It was a beautiful night. The stars were shining so brightly.

"Don't bark or make a sound to wake her." Kaiba told the two dogs. The seemed to understand him. When they got inside the limo, neither dog barked nor made a sound. They saw Noelle sleeping, but stayed next to Kaiba. They figured that they were being saved as well. Moelle rubbed her head against Kaiba's crossed leg. It was her way of thanking him for saving her master from what was to come. Kaiba looked disgusted at the dog seeing its hair get all over his Versace dress pants. He glared at the dog. He actually found them both to be kind of cute. Only if wheeler was as cute as these two mutts Kaiba thought. The limo pulled off and made its way back to Kaiba's elaborate mansion.

As the limo pulled into Kaiba's driveway he saw that Mokuba was still awake. He could tell because his bedroom light was still on. The limo passed the large fountain sprouting water. The night lighting system made the water look like there was a rainbow in it. The limo driver stopped the car and opened the door for Kaiba. Moelle and Cam jumped out of the car running around in a circle chasing after each other. Kaiba slowly and carefully pulled Noelle out of the car. She was still fast asleep. A piece of her black dress got caught onto Kaiba's cuff link. He slowly removed it making sure to not snag Noelle's dress. He carried the sleeping girl in his arms. His driver closed the door behind him. Rowland greeted Kaiba at the front entrance.

"Mr. Kaiba-"He began.

"Ssh!" Kaiba hissed. Rowland did as he was told and closed the door behind him watching Kaiba take the sleeping girl up the log flight of stairs. Moelle and Cameron followed behind still kind of chasing after each other. Kaiba was debating whether or not he should put Noelle in his bedroom or into a guest bedroom. He had plenty of rooms. He had exactly 10 extra spare bedrooms. He didn't want Noelle to freak out when she woke up not knowing where she was. He decided to place her in a guest room on the east wing of his mansion next to his room. There was a couch in there so he figured he would just sleep there in case she woke up and started freaking out. Kaiba opened the door and placed Noelle on the soft satin sheets. They were a cashmere color to match the beige walls. There was a crystal chandelier hanging from the wall. The couch was facing the bed. It was laying directly against the window that emitting the powerful white light into the room. Kaiba pulled the sheets back and covered Noelle in them. The two dogs jumped in the bed beside their master. They snuggled closely under Noelle and against each other. Soon the two dogs were dozing off. Kaiba closed the drapes cutting the moonlight in half. He removed his jacket and then his tie and sat on the couch staring at the sleeping girl. He couldn't believe that Ken was going to sell her out. At least, that's what it looked like. He grew angry just thinking about it. He leaned back into the couch placing his hand on his face. He too, soon let sleep consume his body.

Slightly shifting Noelle turned over on her left side. She felt extremely comfortable. Her bed was extremely soft and plush. She felt warm and happy. She could feel Moelle and Cam next to her. She smiled still half asleep. When she open her eye lids she saw a slight cream colored wall. When did my walls turn cream? She thought to herself while she was still coming around. Her eyes swung open. She immediately sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room. She started to panic.

"No….No…No…" She jumped out of the bed beginning to pace and look for her purse and shoes. After such a wonderful night, Kaiba tried something sneaky and brought her back to his place. That jerk! She thought. I can't believe him! Moelle and Cameron jumped up and slightly barked at Noelle. They were signaling Kaiba that something was wrong. Kaiba groaned and squinted his eyes at the already bright sun. It was shining straight threw the curtains and hitting his face. He sat up and saw Noelle throw a pillow at him. What the fuck? He thought. That was the last thing you would expect in the morning.

"I can't believe you!" Noelle was already in tears. She seemed to be heartbroken that Kaiba would try to do something a typical guy would do. Kaiba stood up and Noelle threw another pillow at him. This time he caught it, but, missed the third one she flung at him.

"What are you talking about?" He was still half asleep. He didn't understand why she was flipping out and attacking him.

"I trusted you! I let you take me out and you bring me here! You sick pervert!"

"What the hell? What are you talking about?" finally it all clicked. Noelle had developed a trust issue with men due to all that had happened to her. He remembered the bruise she placed on Tristan's face. Kaiba sighed and had to think of a way to talk rationality into Noelle. He slowly began to approach her. Noelle backed up into a night table knocking over a lamp.

"Stay away from me!" She yelled.

"Noelle. Calm down. Let me explain." Kaiba said trying to reassure her.

"No! There's nothing to explain!" Moelle and Cameron ran up to Noelle and started barking at her. She didn't pay the two dogs any mind.

"Noelle. Last night, you fell asleep in the limo. When I went to drop you back home, I saw that that guy was home. I wasn't going to let you stay there. I couldn't. I would never forgive myself. I went through your window and got your two dogs and brought you here. That's it." Noelle wiped her eyes and looked at her puppies. They barked signaling that Kaiba was telling the truth. Noelle looked back at Kaiba who still seemed to be a little afraid of her. She dropped the fourth pillow onto the sandy carpet and soon began to sob.

"I'm sorry." She soon began to weep. Kaiba walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so, so sorry."

"It's ok." He said stroking the girls head. Noelle was really fucked up mentally. He couldn't be mad at her. He completely understood. "I'm sorry for not waking you up and not explaining it to you. I should've done that." He comforted the crying girl and sat her on the couch to calm her down. When she did, Kaiba had to tell Noelle what he saw the previous night.

"Noelle. I will not you back there. I can't" He began.

"But, I have to. Or he will get mad. I have to go back Kaiba."

"Go back and what? Get beat?" Noelle stayed silent.

"I'm not of age yet to just leave. He could call me in as a run-away and the police can come and it will be a whole huge mess." Kaiba laughed. Noelle grew pissed. She didn't think that this situation was funny.

"Noelle. Did you forget who I am? I'm Seto Kaiba." Noelle looked down at her hands. Kaiba clearly saw that they were shaking. He grabbed them to make them stop.

"Look, Last night when I went to grab the two mutts, He came into your room. Ken, right?" Noelle's eyes widened and she nodded.

"He didn't come in your room alone. I was in your closet. He brought some other man in the room Noelle. From the looks of things, he brought that man in for a reason and believe me it wasn't a good one." Noelle believed Kaiba. Kaiba hated the horrified expression on her face. Soon enough, she broke down and started to cry again. Kaiba grabbed her hand and lifted her chin wiping her tears with his other hand. Her skin was so soft.

"What am I going to do?" Noelle sobbed. She was scared.

"What's you're going to do is stay here with me." Kaiba demanded.

"I can't. My stuff, my school books everything of mines is there."

"Trust me, I will get everything that you need. That will not be a problem. But, you will stay here with me. At least I know you are safe here. Plus Mokuba will love the company." Kaiba said playfully pinching Noelle's cheek.

"I can't. I'll just be a burden to you. I can't just make my problem your problem. It isn't right." Kaiba looked Noelle directly in her eyes.

"You're staying here and that is final." Noelle didn't know what to say.

"Thank you." She soon began to cry again and hid her face in her hands.

"I will help you through this. I will make sure he pays for what he has done to you. Mark my words." Kaiba said stroking Noelle's soft hair. He let Noelle cry her tears of happiness. Noelle couldn't believe how kind hearted Kaiba was. He really wasn't that bad. This was the start of a new beginning. Fate had her meet the blue eyed prince for a reason.
