Sorry for the very late response. I've been doing so many things lately and to say that I'm busy is an understatement. But anyway, I'm also too lazy to write stuff down at night—I'm really the spontaneous type of writer. My plots usually develop while I'm writing the chapter or something like that. Anyway, to be honest, I'm running out of ideas for my fictions but I'll still try to update when I can. Thanks for the continuous reviews and I'm happy you're taking the time to read my stories!

ThePinkMartini: Wow, I'm glad you liked the previous chapter. :D Hope you like this chappie too!

LeeRara: Ahahaha, I'm not sure when they'll kiss. But I hope you like the relationship improvement in this chapter.

Disclaimer: FY is not mine.

To Feel

By Slavedriver2008

"What…?" Seto asked, every bit surprised. The cheek slightly throbbed and it made his heart ache. Not that it was strong enough but it caught him off guard. Nobody slapped him before and he looked back at the blonde girl in horror. "Nobody—"

"Who the hell gave you the right to kiss me?!" Yui breathed out with disbelief, face flushed. "You can't just kiss any girl!"

"I do not kiss random girls—" Seto began, meaning to say that it had always been her that he had kissed. What? Why did he even think of such a lame reason? And why did he even want to tell her? Kissing her was no longer part of the question—it was disgusting to say the least.

The door flung open and three people stepped in: Miaka, the warrior Tamahome, and to Seto's annoyance, Boshin. "YUI! Why were you screaming?" Miaka called, running toward them. The brunette stopped dead in her tracks when she saw him. "Kaiba Seto?"

Seto was about to respond when his knees gave way. His body had been using the powers too much and he fell, sitting down on the cold floor. The open wounds on his back throbbed and he closed his eyes to dispel the pain that was sweeping through him. He never felt this way before, everything about him was hurting—his arms, his legs, his head, his back, his heart. Make the pain go away, he told her in his head, as if she was the only one who can. Yui, make the pain go away.

"Seto…?" she said, as if hearing him. Yui's hands landed on his chest to support him but he was too weak to respond. Her breath sent her shivers and his body was burning for his own good. She cupped his face and gasped. "You're hot…" He instinctively wrapped his arms around her, leaning on her shoulder, willing the pain to disappear. Her hands touched something damp and when she looked at it, found it drenched in blood. "Miaka—!"

Tamahome pulled Seto away and assisted him up. "Let's ask Taiitsukun to cure him," the warrior suggested and Yui nodded, still shuddering at seeing too many blood. Tasuki came barging in the room with a serious expression.

"Hey! What happened here?" His eyes widened when he saw the brown-haired man and he immediately walked toward him to assist Tamahome. "Hey, Tama-kins, who's this?"

"Bring him to Taiitsukun first, I'll tell you the details, Tasuki," Miaka cut the them and they nodded. They brought Seto out of the room and Yui followed with a worried reaction. "Why is he here?"

"I don't know, I wanted to know as well." Yui sighed and looked down on her hands. A pair of hands covered hers and wiped the blood clean. She looked up and found Boshin smiling worriedly.

"Don't worry, Taiitsukun-sama will know what to do with him." When the blood had been cleaned, he held her hand and clutched it hard. "Who is he?"

"He's someone from my world," she answered, still with a downcast expression. Yui pulled her hand away from his hold. It was different when Seto touched her, his hands were cold but comforting—and familiar. "He has…Nakago's mark…" she whispered and Miaka gasped beside her.

"Yui—Is it real? But how is that possible?" the brunette inquired.

"I don't know… but it glowed on his forehead earlier. Even Tomo and Soi wanted him dead…" She narrated the events that took place when she suddenly ended up being sucked by a blue light and falling from the sky. Was it the reason why he felt unusually close to the man? But she saw Nakago with her own eyes, it was impossible for him to be reincarnated as Seto Kaiba…

Oblivious to her companions, the Priestess of Seiryuu walked out of the room to follow the man who bore a familiar mark. The two trailed behind, calling her to slow down but she heeded them no mind. Her thoughts were filled with him and the unexplainable encounter they had. For the first time since she arrived in the book, the priestess was genuinely scared. Was it possible that the two to have the same soul?

Keisuke rubbed his forehead and sighed. "What happened?" Yugi asked and the brunette turned to the younger boy.

"Not much. How are you related to the CEO of Kaiba Corporation?" he asked, diverting the conversation. While it was true that not much had happened to the book, Keisuke was wary of the man entering the book and bearing Nakago's mark. He perfectly understood why Yui was troubled—it was not easy to deal with Nakago and to have another one of him was too much.

"We're not really friends. We're more of rivals—in a good way." Yugi smiled at the older man. "Why did you ask?"

"Had he shown any… powers in the past?" he inquired and Yugi shook his head.

"If you mean Nakago's powers like telekinesis, no. He's perfectly normal." Keisuke sighed and turned his attention on the book, unsure whether to continue asking the younger boy. "I wonder why Seto got sucked into the book. Would it be troublesome to have him inside?"

Keisuke looked at Yugi with a straight face. "It will be very troublesome, especially for Yui," he sighed again and shook his head.

"May I ask why?"

"Well, it's not easy to deal with the fact that the man you love is no longer the man you thought him to be. What's worse is that, he's living as somebody else. And now that they are in the same world…" Keisuke shook his head. "Yui, please be sane after this."

The young man with the mark of Heart was ushered into a room and his wounds have been taken cared of. His sudden arrival delayed the group and brought more questions for the two priestesses. The priestess of Seiryuu was not able to sleep well during the night and the moment the sun rose, she walked the path toward the young man's room. She debated with herself whether to knock and in the end, resorted to standing outside his room, waiting for courage to come.

Inside, the young man was awake and was likewise deep in thoughts. He sat up and watched his hand, every nerve, every muscle, every vein. The pain has subsided through the night but he can still remember how it felt. He was troubled; not by the pain but by the fact that he felt things he had not been used to experience.

"I thought everything would be clear once I see you…" he whispered, smiling sadly. The temperature was mild in his room as rays of the sun entered lavishly. "But I am more confused. What are you to me…?"

Three mild knocks came from the door and it opened on its own. As if answering his question, Yui walked in and looked relieved to find him awake. She looked pale and tired but determined. Seto followed the girl with his eyes as she stepped inside, closing the door behind her, and then leaning on the wall, a good distance from him.

"I'm glad you're awake…" she said softly, sounding suddenly unsure. She expected a response but he gave none. He wanted her to speak more because the more she does, the more he was able to memorize the tone of her voice. She sighed and looked up with a wary expression. "Why do you have Nakago's mark?" she asked, slightly quivering.

Seto smirked. "I expected you'd know." He fixed sharp blue eyes at her form, making her more uneasy. "Bluntly said, I am Nakago," he teased and Yui flushed immediately. Was it him who makes her flush or was it the name? It was not a good thought but it nagged at him. What does Yui think of him…?

The girl hesitantly walked closer and sat down on the side of the bed, still a away from him but if he leaned closer, he'll be able to reach her. "Are you hurt?" she asked, slowly looking up to meet his gaze.

"Do I appear that I am not?" he responded coldly. Yui was taken aback and creased her eyebrows. They looked at each other for awhile and Yui realized again and again how handsome he was. She reached for the cheek she slapped earlier but Seto moved away, making Yui feel ashamed at initiating such a contact. "Apologize." Seto looked at her sternly, making one word appear like a command of sorts. Yui frowned more and her fist clenched.

"Why should I—"

"I saved you."

"You saved me?!" she breathed out, raising an eyebrow. "I saved you—You were under Tomo's powers!" It was Seto's turn to raise an eyebrow and Yui finally sighed, giving in. No matter what he does, she always seemed to give way and it was not the feminine side of her or the pathetic part that wanted to be dominated. It was something else and Yui cringed at the thought. He was the most annoying arrogant guy she had ever met. Why was she even physically attracted to him? Why does she even care? "Fine. I'm sorry for slapping you."

"Accepted," was Seto's curt reply. When Yui looked up, she found him in a smug expression. "I can be touched now." Yui's brows narrowed and she blinked at him.

"Who said I want to touch you?" Yui turned to stand but Seto's hands clutched her wrist and pulled her back on the bed. Before Yui could react, he placed her right hand on his cheek. Yui flushed immediately and her resistance melted in the unexplainable warmth that filled her. The skin on his face was warm, unlike his hand. She thumbed the cool skin and he looked down, slowly wrapping a hand on hers.

"Move closer," Seto ordered and Yui frowned more. Was he used to always ordering people around? She was about to answer when he spoke again. "You are too stubborn." He moved closer and to her surprise, cupped her cheek. She shivered at the contact and blushed harder when he started to thumb her skin, tracing in slow movements the side of her mouth. Seto smirked and Yui's heart skipped a beat. She held her breath when he slowly leaned down, and her lips parted on its own as she waited for their mouths to meet.

The door flew open and she immediately moved away from him, standing up to face the door. Boshin entered and their eyes met. "The horses are ready," he noted. "We should be heading back to Konan."

"But Seto is still not well," Yui replied, still blushing. The Prince looked frustrated and she remembered his coronation. "I'm sorry I forgot your coronation. I—" She walked toward him. "You can go ahead. I'll stay and follow in the soonest that I can…"

"I want you to be with me on my coronation, Yui-sama…" Boshin smiled but it did not reach his eyes. "I look forward to your return, then. By then I could offer you more. Would you be fine traveling…with him?"

Seto raised an eyebrow and Yui nodded. "He's my warrior. I should be fine…" Yui told the Prince but more than anything, she was reassuring herself.

"Very well. The rest will ride with me back to Konan," he moved closer and planted a kiss on her forehead while cupping her cheek. "I will wait for you… Sayonara for now." The Prince left and Yui closed the door. When she turned around, Seto was smirking and eyeing her sharply.

"Don't pride yourself," she said and Seto laughed, as if mocking her.

"I had no idea, you want to be alone with me," he teased and Yui flushed all over. He stood up from the bed, half-naked, and walked toward her. "I'm perfectly fine for traveling now but if you insist…" His hand leaned on the door and before Yui could move away, caged her. He rolled some stray hair on his fingertips and Yui's skin prickled.

"You're such an arrogant prick," she breathed out, their faces inches away. Seto just raised an eyebrow. "I'm not traveling with you because you can protect me because as we proved last night, you're not even capable of using his powers without putting yourself to sleep," she said with the edge in her voice. Seto's jaw clenched and Yui smirked. "Not because you have his mark means you are Nakago. You'll never be him so don't act… Don't act like I'm in love with you."

Sharp blue eyes stared at her and Yui slapped the hand that was toying with her hair. "You…" He punched the door and Yui did not bulge. Damn this girl for making him feel this way. He turned away, hands clenched. Seto tried to control his anger, the emotions were all new to him—being in pain, being belittled by a woman, being cast to the side. But what nagged him more was the unexplainable bliss he felt when they got close.

"Why did you even come to this world?" Yui asked in a low voice but he heard it clearly. His senses seemed to be at its height when she's around and Seto wanted to punch himself for being this responsive, he was too aware of her—and he hated that fact. He smirked at his stupidity.

"You asked me to save you, that's why."

A/N: Sorry, not in a mood to write much. The interaction between Yui and Seto were kinda harsh but I'm getting all zapped into their story. I'm not sure when I'll be able to post an update—I need to work on a bigger plot. The love story is just the cream to the main story. :D Hope you like this chapter and please do leave reviews!
