Chapter 4: The Date

(Seto POV)

Well….this is it. First time I'm going on a date…not sure what to do though. Do we go eat? Do we go the movies? Do I even take her outside since she is my employee? That would look bad on me….maybe this was a bad idea.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Who is it?"

"It's Mokuba."

"Come in."

"Are you getting ready for your big date?"

"It's not a big date Mokuba. It's a date between two people who think they may like each other."

"If it's not that important then why have you been through all of your clothes? You trying to impress her. You want this to work out!"

"Mokuba. I told you not to get your hopes up. She may not like the real me after spending a night with me."

"Who wouldn't like you? Have you thought about what you're going to do?"

"No. I'm afraid to leave the building with her because she is my employee and I'm her employer. That wouldn't look so good."

"Oh…I didn't think about it like that. You could have a date here and I can join."

"No sir. This is between me and her. No kids allowed."

"Kid? I'm 15. I'm a young adult."

"You aint a young adult until your 18."

"Yeah yeah…hey I got an idea for you!"

"What?"

"Have a dinner on the top of the roof and then take her for a helicopter ride to view the city."

"Hmmmmm. That's not a bad idea. But! You are not allowed to spy on, eavesdrop or interrupt us. Understood?"

"I understand. Now, the main reason I came in here…can I have my phone back now?"

"Oh right. Your punishment was over yesterday."

"Correct. I miss my friends."

I walked over to my safe and punched in the combination to get Mokuba phone out. When I mean business I mean it. Hopefully there isn't any mean texts or voicemail from Derek or Mik. I hate those boys so much.

"Here. But, do NOT be texting Derek or Mik. I don't want you talking to them."

"Yes bro I know. Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me I got some catching up to do. Have fun!"

I watched him run out of the room like a little kid who just got candy. And he wants to call himself a young adult? Now, back to this problem. I can't figure out what to wear at all. I would like to impress her but….I'm afraid she won't show up. What if she scared? What if she decides that she doesn't want to go through with this? I'm thinking way too much into this. Maybe a hot shower will help.

(Kisara POV)

"Miss Strife how do you like this dress?" Kiki said.

"Please just call me Kisara. I am an employee just like you."

"Yes mam but you are having a chance to go out with Mr. Kaiba himself. You are one lucky girl."

"Has he not had many girls?"

"No mam. He barely even talks to us."

"Oh…maybe this is a bad idea. I mean I just been a slave my whole life…I don't know how to actually love a man, let alone go on a date. But, there just something about him that makes me feel good inside."

"It's a crush. You will be fine. Now, back to the dress. Yes or no?"

"No mam. I don't want my legs to be showing. Shows too much of my scars."

"Why do you have those scars?"

"Long story. Just part of being a slave. What about that light purple dress? It looks pretty long."

"I'll get it for you."

I unzipped the bag and saw this beautiful long light purple dress with black heels attached to the hanger. I went into the bathroom and tried it on. It covered everything up expect my shoulders. The only thing you could see was my bound mark. The mark that nobody needs to know about. I walked out to show Kiki.

"Oh that looks great on you. Mr. Kaiba will love it. Would you like any accessories?"

"Ummm…how about the black jacket and the purple flower?"

"Great. We will just slip this into your hair like so and put the jacket on. There. You look great."

"Thanks Kiki. You really have become a friend to me over these past 2 months."

"Same here. Don't be nervous. Just try to relax and don't think about everything you been through. This could be a new journey for you."

"Thanks. I got to go. Don't want to be late."

I opened the door and there stood Seto Kaiba himself. He was getting ready to knock on the door. He had never looked as handsome as he did right now. Tall…muscles…dark gray suit…dark blue shirt underneath…I think I'm going to faint.

"You look very pretty…" Seto said not taking his eyes off of me.

"You look very handsome sir."

"Seto. We are two people getting to know each other. Kisara."

"Seto. Shall we go?"

"Yes."

Seto led me down the hallway into the elevator and hit the roof button. Why were we going to the roof? Was he embarrass to take me out to the city? I knew this was a mistake. He was embarrass to be seen with me. Just a lonely old servant I mean who…..the doors opened on the elevator and there stood this beautiful table with candles, food, music playing and a walkway with lights leading up to it.

"I hope you're hungry."

"This is amazing. How did you come up with all of this?"

"I had some help."

We walked over to the table and he pulled out the chair for me and made sure I was comfortable before he sat down himself. He asked one of the waiters to bring some champagne and the glasses. I thought this man never been on a date before? This is pretty amazing for somebody's first try. Maybe….he feels bad for the way I been treated. Maybe this is just a makeup session….maybe he really doesn't like me.

"This is very nice. I hope this wasn't too expensive."

"Nonsense. Money is not an issue. Trust me. So….what would you like to talk about? Do you have any hobbies or I guess have you had a chance to experience any hobbies?"

"I do have some hobbies. I love to write music and play the violin. I also like duel monsters too but I never had a chance to play only watch."

"I actually like the same things except I play duel monsters."

"I know you're like one the top duelist around. I've watched you during Battle City. You write music though?"

"I know. Doesn't really fit me does it? But I have a problem expressing the way I feel and that's just how I cope with things."

"Maybe one day we can play a song for each other."

"Uh…no. I don't play for anybody."

"Why not? I bet they are good. You are very smart."

"I just don't. The last time I played a song for somebody was when Mokuba was 12 and he was sick with the chicken pox."

"You love your brother very much. I can tell."

"He means the world to me. I know you don't have any siblings or parents. So I can't really explain the feeling."

"How did you know that I didn't have any family? Did Mokuba tell you?"

"No. I did a background check before I decided to let you be Mokuba tutor."

"A background check? So you know everything?"

"No not everything. I know you're from Egypt, your parents died in a burning house, they sold you at a young age, and your very smart thanks to your first master."

"Yes. I was still young but he wanted to make sure I still got an education. He was actually the nicest one I had. Even helped me get to Japan so I wouldn't have to get married at such a young age."

"Um….let's not ruin the mood with sadness. Time for my next surprise. May I take your hand?"

I reached my hand out and let him hold it. I instantly felt a connection with him. Like I was just struck by a lightning bolt. We walked over to a helicopter and he helped me inside.

"Where are we going?"

"A tour on the city. Let me help you with the headset. Might want to take the flower out don't want to ruin it."

I slowly took the flower out and let him put the headset on me. This was amazing. I was having the best night of my life. Now, I'm about to take a ride in a helicopter. I watched him start it up and we slowly took off. The city was so pretty at night. All of the lights were shinning so brightly. He explained which building was which and the construction site of his amusement park. I don't know why people say this man is cold and heartless. He seems so sweet and so loving. I was having the most amazing time I never wanted this night to end. We flew around for hours just talking to each other and looking over the city. When we got back it was 2 in the morning.

"Thank you for an amazing night Seto."

"Your welcome. I have to say this has been one of the best nights of my life."

"Mine too. Goodnight. See you tomorrow."

"Night."

Oh my…..my heart is pounding so much…..I think I like him….no I love him….I know it was only the first night and first date but we just connected so much that it was amazing. I got back into the elevator and pushed the button for my floor. I saw him staring at me when the doors shut. I don't even know if I can sleep. How did a slave….a girl….get with a guy like that? Maybe it was destiny for me to meet him.

(Seto POV)

Wow…..she is just amazing. She smart, pretty and we have so many things in common. We also have similar childhoods, hers a little rougher but we can connect about it. Plus Mokuba seems to like her a lot and they get along. Maybe this is the girl that I was meant to be with…what am I thinking? It was one night. Why the hell am I thinking about marriage? I got to get some work done before I turn completely soft.

I headed down to my floor to try and get some sleep. I walked past Mokuba's room and noticed the light was still on. Why was he still up? I slowly opened the door and noticed Mokuba under a blanket playing his video game with all the lights off. I turned the lights on and he quickly flew off the blanket and paused the game.

"Hello big brother. Back already?" He asked looking up at me.

"Its 3 in the morning. Why are you still up?"

"Really? I guess I lost track of time. How did your date go?"

"It went good. At least I think it did."

"Alright!"

"Don't try to change the subject. You need to get some sleep."

"Okay. Night."

"Night."

I turned and walked out of Mokuba's room. He really has grown since I took guardianship over him. 15 now….it seems like only yesterday I was rescuing him from Duelist Kingdom. That place gave him so many nightmares. It took months to get him to sleep in his own bedroom again. Pegasus will always pay for what he did to him. Scared the kid worse than anything has before. But…maybe he seems like he is getting better year after year….I couldn't imagine my life without him…..or even Kisara…..
