Seto's POV

You were worried out of your mind, and since Aaron had passed out, you went to go look for them. You had to take Tea's car since yours was stuck in the sand and there wasn't time to dig it out.

Judging on the currents speed and direction, you knew you could find where they were rather quickly. In the back of your mind, horrid thoughts were racing.

In some way, you were hoping that Wheeler was alright, even though you knew he'd never ever let you live this down. But on the other hand, he had saved Miya, and in a way saved your own.

You felt a stabbing pain in your chest, then everything around you went black. Moments later, a blinding light shone above you. Before your eyes you saw a blonde man staggering out of the water carrying a brunette woman. Both were drenched and the man was breathing heavily.

Due to the odd clothing, you knew this was another of the bogus Egyptian visions again. When you got a closer look at the couple, they looked exactly like Wheeler and Miya. The woman was unconscious and bleeding from a few small cuts on her body.

Another moment of blackness surrounded you and then you were back in Tea's car. You were stopped at the top of a ridge looking over another bay. This bay looked identical to the one in your vision, minus the desert heat. It was a wide open bay, surrounded by a tall wall of rock.

You stepped out of the car and looked down. You saw a blonde man sitting in the middle of the beach, a ways away from the water.

"Wheeler!"

The blonde's head turned around. It was Joey, and that meant the girl with him was Miya. You rushed down the wooden stairs, almost in a bound towards them.

Joey did not stand to greet you, as was expected since Miya was out cold on his lap.

"You okay?"

"Do we look okay?"

Joey looked just moments from passing out, just like Miya.

"She's sleeping, nothing's wrong," Joey said, apparently sensing your worry.

"Can I?"

"Oh sure, she's quiet a bit heavier when she's dead weight."

You were going to make a smart ass remark back, or at least that would have been your normal behavior. With Miya safely in your arms, your attention was no where else but on her.

Joey followed behind you, silently up to the car. He opened the front door and laid the seat back. You laid Miya down and quietly shut the door while Joey climbed into the backseat. Within seconds, he was passed out as well. You started the car, and stared at Miya. She truly was your life, and you didn't know what you would have done if Wheeler hadn't saved her. It normally would have sickened you to owe the mutt your life, but now it didn't matter. You had Miya, that was all that was important.

Ali's POV

It had been almost an hour and a half since Aaron and Miya were nearly "eaten" by the sea. Since then, Tristan had been freaking out about how he was right that the water may have eaten him. Also, Aaron was now calmly passed out on your lap. This prevented you from jumping up and rushing to Tea's car when Seto returned. You were overjoyed to see Joey come out of the back seat in one piece, although looking quiet terrible. Tea attacked Joey in a hug. Yugi went over to the driver side where Seto was still sitting. They spoke briefly before Seto got out of the car and proceeded to help an unconscious Miya from the passenger seat.

As they all came back to the now rather large umbrella covered area, the look on Seto's face was unmistakable. He had yet to see Miya awake. He knelt down and carefully laid her on her towel and used his to cover her.

'She's going to be fine Seto."

"I know Ali."

"But, you're still worried?"

"I'm not worried." he said hesitating a bit.

You cocked an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh. Sure you aren't."

He looked up at you and his facial expression changed dramatically.

"It's harder to hide worry when it's someone you're still getting use to. Especially when you care for them as much as you do."

He simple nodded. You knew this is was harder for him to hide his worry when it came to Miya. It was much easier with Mokuba, after all he had grown up with him and was saving him from kidnappers on almost a daily basis. Miya and his feelings for her were new to him. You could tell he'd never felt this way towards anyone else before. On top of that, he had Aaron to worry about it. He was just like another Mokuba.

"You can go join the others. I'll keep an eye on them Ali."

"I'm fine. Besides, I'd wake him if I move."

"If you say so."

"Miya's starting to rub off on you. She says that all the time. Well she use to."

"It's not a bad thing. I could use some of her qualities."

"Mhm, you've got that right."

Fast Forward: 2 Hours Later

Miya's POV

You woke up to the sound of crashing waves and a faint cry of sea gulls. You sat up, somewhat confused. You felt a burning in a cut on your arm, that's when you remembered it all. You could see the turning waves, remembered the struggle, even Joey saving you, but after that: nothing.

You were back on the beach were you started. Everyone was back down in the water, playing like nothing happened. Everyone except, Seto. You did a quick look around and found him laying next to you sleeping calmly, not to mention looking somewhat sun burnt.

You stood up, rummaged through your bag and walked down to the water; sun screen in hand.

"Miya! Bout time sleepy head!" Aaron shouted from the shallow water. From the looks of things, Joey and Ali weren't letting him get in deeper than his waist.

"Oh don't even think about it. You're staying in shallow water too, we don't need a repeat." Ali said noticing your observation towards Aaron.

You shrugged and laughed slightly at Ali's outburst toward you. You sat down far enough into the water so that the waves were able to wash over and up to your waist, as if you really needed the sun. You had naturally tanned skin; dark enough to keep you from burning, but light enough to get darker if you wanted.

Aaron came and sat down, knowing why you'd brought the sunscreen. He was already slightly red and lobster-like.

"You okay?"

"Yep. Still taste an ungodly amount salty fishy water." he said scrunching his nose.

You smiled and carefully rubbed a rather large amount of lotion on your burning brother.

"That'll go away in a few hours."

You called Mokuba up next. 2 of the 3 were already burnt, if you could save the third you would.

"Mokuba! Come here please!"

He came rushing out of the water, his mop of black hair covering his face

"We need to keep you from burning. Aaron and Seto are beyond my help."

"Hah, yeah," he said sitting down in front of you.

After you covered him in sunscreen, he ran right back into the water; Aaron close behind him. You sat silently, watching the waves crash on the shore. In the distance, you heard a faint ringing, and you realized it was your cell phone.

You quickly ran up and dug it out of your bag.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Suro? It's Annie."

"Is everything okay Annie?"

"Not exactly. You might want to turn on the news. I'm sorry."

Without another word, she hung up. You stared at your phone for a moment, wondering what was on the news that she would be sorry about. You grabbed Seto's cell phone and quickly accessed the news stations website.

There were hundreds of pictures and video footage of Seto, Aaron, Mokuba and yourself on your way to the beach. Then, pictures of you and Joey started to show up on the screen.

All the headlines had something to do with you and Kaiba dating, then saying you were cheating on him with Joey.

"Oh holy Ra."

You waited a moment, then calmly walked down to the beach. You knew that if you were here much longer that Media would be swarming shortly.

"hey guys, no need to rush, but we need to leave a.s.a.p."

They all looked at you, slightly confused but did as they were told. They all started slowly walking up towards the cars.

"So what's going on Miya? Why do we have to leave?"

"We're all over the news. Apparently I'm a cheater, and we're going to be swarmed here soon by reporters."

They all nodded and calmly started packing everything up. You knelt down and gently woke Seto up, trying to keep from touching his sun burn too much. With Seto still slightly asleep, you helped him into the car as Ali, Mokuba and Aaron loaded up the car.

"Good thing we dug out the car, we'd be in some serious trouble right about now."

You nodded at Ali as you brought the roof of the car back up and hooked it into place. You jumped into the driver's seat and started down the narrow road home, Tea's car close behind.

"So how'd you know about the reporters?" Seto asked, finally waking up all the way.

"Annie called and warned me."

"Hm, guess I did hire a good replacement then."

"Mhm. So how ya feeling crispy fry?"

"Not funny Miya. I've got a meeting tomorrow night."

"I'll just have to go for you if the burn is too much for ya."

"You think I'm gonna leave you alone in a room full of old, egotistical men? I don't think so."

"I can handle myself Seto. Plus, I'll be sure to keep you posted."

Mokuba then stuck his head up between the seats.

"I can set her up with microphone and video?"

"Yeah, that'd be great Mokuba." you said with a smile.

"You two, seriously. I'll be fine. I think I can handle a meeting. Not like I'll be moving much anyways."

"Seto, you probably won't be able to move in the morning."

Seto didn't say anything, just turned his head and rolled his eyes.

"It's okay Bro. I'll set up all the audio and video equipment that she'll need."

"Okay, fine. But only if I can't move in the morning."

You smiled at Mokuba in the rearview mirror, triumphantly.

"That's fine with me."

Joey's POV

You'd been home less than 10 minutes and you were already hearing an ear full about the beach incident.

"Joey? Is that you on the news?" your mother called from the living room.

You froze, you really didn't want to explain it all to her. She wouldn't understand it easily, and you were too tired to even attempt it.

"No. Why would I be on the news?"

"You sure hun? That looks exactly like you."

The house went quiet for a few moments and then she nearly screamed.

"Seto Kaiba's girlfriend is cheating…with you!?!?"

"Oh boy. Mom let me explain."

"Joseph Wheeler! He is going to kill you when he sees this! Do you know how much trouble you got yourself into?!"

"Mom, calm down. That's just a friend. Her name's Miya and she's not cheating, Especially not with me."

She continued to sit there, staring at you; waiting for an explanation.

"She's in cognito. That way the media doesn't stalk her down when she's in public. Those pictures are from when she got swept away by the current. I had to get her out, wasn't going to let her drown."

"Aww my Joey's a hero!"

"Mom, stop it. I am not."

"Well, why didn't Kaiba save her?"

"He was on shore, I just happened to be in the water with her."

"Oh, well either way. You're a hero. My Joey saving a damsel in distress."

You rolled your eyes, trying not to blush. You went back into your room and laid on your bed staring at the ceiling.

~You were a hero.~

Miya's POV

Just in case you did have to do to the meeting tomorrow, you had Veronica pull up the meeting's agenda and other files. That way, you would have some what of an idea what was going on instead of having to depend on Seto for every response.

That reminded you that you would have your smoking' hot boss whispering in your ear the entire time, making sure you said everything perfectly. Which of course, made this meeting a bit less nerve wrecking. Not to mention, from the looks of the agenda and files, it was about your department.

"Hm, why didn't Seto tell me about this? Shouldn't I have been going too?"

"I think you might want to take a look at the attending companies. That might answer your question."

A list of profiles popped up on the screen. Two names of attendees stuck out in bright red.

"Industrial Illusions and Lex Corp."

Both the Pegasus' and Lex were going to there. No wonder why Seto hadn't been willing to let you go, at least not alone.

You jumped when you heard someone calling you from outside the wall.

"Miya? You in here?"

You waited for her to get away from the secret door, then quickly got out.

"Hey Ali."

"Oh Jeeze! You gave me a fright."

"Gave you a fright? Really?" You looked at your watch and noticed it was about time for Ali to go home.

"Oh crap. I can't go to that meeting tomorrow. I'll be out of town."

"Where are you goin?"

"I'm taking you home silly."

"You're going to spend money on a ticket to make sure I get home?"

"No, you've already been refunded for your plane ticket. I'm taking you home. Kaiba Corp style."

"How so?"

"We're taking the Blue Eyes jet. It's flies 3 times the speed of whatever plane you were going on."

"Oh yay! Less time and first class!"

"Well either way you would have been flying first class home. Seto wouldn't have had it any other way. Especially for such a dear friend of mine."

"heh, you better keep him around. He's growing on me. But give him my number if you two ever split up." she said nudging you in the side with her elbow with a wink.

"Um, I'll keep that in mind." you said laughing.

"So when are we departing?"

"Whenever Roland calls and tells me the jet is ready."

"Oh."

Seconds later, your cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Miya, the jet is prepared for yours and Mr. Kaiba's inspections before take off."

"Thanks Roland."

You hung up and laughed.

"Speak of the devil huh?'

Ali nodded and went up stairs to get her things while you headed out to the launch deck. You were sure to triple check everything, cause if something was out of order, Seto would not let you leave.

Aaron, Mokuba and Seto came up to meet you on the flight deck, Ali close behind with all her stuff.

You and Seto loaded her stuff and he did a quick check over everything, again.

Aaron had tears in his eyes as he hugged Ali. More than likely, you would have been crying to if you weren't the one who was flying her home.

Seto came up to you and hugged you and kissed you on the forehead.

"Call me if you need anything, and.."

"And I will call when we land. I promise."

"Wait a minute, he's not going with us?"

Seto shook his head. "I've got a meeting to get ready for."

"So who's flying this thing?"

"I am." you said hopping into the cockpit.

'You can fly this thing?"

"I can fly just about anything."

She shrugged and climbed in the jet behind you. You made sure her straps were secure, since they were quiet complicated.

"Bye guys! See you all tomorrow!" you called before closing the cockpit and began prepping for departure.

You turned on your headset, waiting for flight instructions. Turns out, Seto was the one who was going to give you the okay.

From the sound of it, he was worried, and quiet a bit.

"Hey, don't worry so much. You'll hurt yourself. Love you." you said quietly before roaring out his response with the engines. Moments later, you were in the air, headed back to America.
