Chapter Nineteen
Epilogue
The next morning things seemed to have equalized. Yugi had called from his house to see if Aquarius was feeling better, but no one really knew for sure. After arriving at her manor, she had invited Seto and Mokuba to spend the night in a very zombie like tone. Afterwards she had gone upstairs and had not made an appearance since. Draconis had stayed in his 'regular' room, wanting to be close to his sister in case something happened. Kaiba hadn't been able to sleep, his thoughts continually racing. Mokuba had decided they should share a bed and Seto hadn't argued. Mokuba was still a bit to young to comprehend Pegasus's covert phrasing of what had happened. Therefore, it was no surprise that the younger Kaiba had immediately fallen asleep with the protective presence of his brother nearby.
Now the three males sat picking at their lunch, each in their own way, missing Aquarius.
"You think she's going to eat lunch?" Mokuba asked finally breaking the silence.
"I'm not to sure. I was thinking of fixing her a plate and seeing if she'd eat." Draconis shrugged.
"I'll do it." Seto interrupted as Draconis merely shrugged again.
Seto quickly made up a plate and left the room. He went up the grand staircase and stopped, immediately feeling like an idiot. He didn't even know which room was hers! A servant tapped him on a shoulder and meekly motioned for him to follow her. The house cleaner stopped at a door with a blue glass handle. Kaiba nodded his thanks and knocked. There was no response so he opened it, letting himself in.
"Hello." Aquarius murmured quietly.
Kaiba nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden sound. She was sitting on the ledge of an extremely large window seat. The sun caught her hair and made it sparkle as she sat perfectly still. She didn't turn to face him, merely continuing in looking out the window.
"I thought you might want something to eat." Seto said softly standing off to one side.
"I can't get clean." She whispered.
"What?" Kaiba questioned.
"No matter how hard I scrub. I still feel his fingers on my skin, his breath on my face, I can't get rid of it." Aquarius mumbled.
Kaiba noted that she was in a white cotton robe and sighed. "Please eat." He coaxed.
She turned then. Looking at him as if for the first time.
"Whatever you want." She said walking into his open arms.
"All I want is you." Seto sighed resting his chin on top of her head.
It was then that the master of the Blue Eyes White Dragon had his icy heart melted. He discovered the meaning of love and what it meant to belong in another's embrace. Aquarius healed with the help and love of friends and her fiancé. Both knew that the darkest day had passed and the future was theirs to create.
