Miya's POV
"Yeah you've got that right."
He wrapped one arm behind your shoulders and the other across you, and pulled you close. You moved down a bit and rested your head on his shoulder.
"Miya?"
"Yeah Seto?" you said looking back up at him.
"I love you."
"Heh, love you too."
His hand found its way to the back of your neck, inching you even closer. Moments later his warm lips were on yours. Just like every time before, his kiss sent your stomach aflutter with butterflies. Feeling the urge to be even closer, if that was possible, you shifted slightly as his tongue traced your lips.
Your lips parted as you ran your fingers threw his thick hair. It was always soft as could be, and you loved the silky feel against your skin. Suddenly you felt your self being lifted slightly to wear you had a leg on each side of his lap. Apparently you had been too lost in the kiss to notice his hands had made their way to your waist.
You pulled back for a moment, but at the wrong time. The look on his face told you he'd taken your break a different way than you had meant it.
"I'm…"
"Don't you dare say sorry." you said smiling devilishly.
His signature smirk played on his lips moments before that crashed back onto yours. As his tongue explored your mouth, you shifted your hips slightly to relieve the ting of pain. A chill ran up your spine as a small moan escaped Seto's throat. You had already forgotten that you were straddling his waist.
His hands were beginning to move up from your waist and were making their way under your uniform's ugly pink top. When they got around to the front, he began fumbling with the number of buttons until he nearly ripped it off and tossed it to the floor. Your white tank top was soon to follow.
You shivered as the cool room air breezed over your warm skin. The feeling only intensified as Seto's lips made light contact with your neck.
Aaron's POV
Joey had left close to 20 minutes ago and Miya had yet to come out of Seto's room. So, you were completely clueless to what had just happened.
"You think she's okay? Joey looked pretty passed off when he left." you said turning to Mokuba.
"I'm sure she's fine Aaron. They're probably up there working on tournament stuff. That's what Seto was doing before Joey got here."
"Well, I'm still gonna go check on her."
Mokuba shrugged. You sighed and got up off your bed and walked down to the end of the hall. You knocked on the doors and Veronica's voice came through the speaker next to it.
"Yes Aaron?"
"Is my sister in there? Can I see her?"
"Hang on a moment. I'll see if they're busy."
Seto's POV
You were in absolute awe. Miya was truly the most beautiful girl you had ever laid eyes on. Her luscious hair rippling down her back, ocean eyes sparkling with a hint of something you hadn't seen in them before.
Right now, the only thing separating her from you was your boxers and her bra and panties. You wanted so badly to hear her moan again like she had when your lips had grazed her neck.
You would have grabbed her and kissed her deeply but you were being pinned down by her as her lips made their way slowly down to your stomach. There, they stopped just above your boxers.
You groaned as your cell phone began buzzing on the night stand.
-What perfect timing…- you said sarcastically to yourself.
"You might wanna get that. It could be something important."
You sighed and snatched it off the stand.
"Kaiba."
"Sorry to bother you, but Aaron wants to see his sister."
"Um we're kinda busy…We're…" you head went spinning and you moaned deeply in your throat.
"Mr. Kaiba? Everything alright?"
"Yeah, everything's….oh my go…great."
"So can I let the boy in?"
"Later. We're finishing tourn…ament details."
"Hm, alright then Seto. Don't work yourself too hard." Veronica said with a hint of smirk in her voice.
You hung up your phone quickly and clumsily put it back on the night stand. You looked down as Miya came up from under the blankets, a smirk on her face.
"Wow…" you said wishing she hadn't stopped.
Miya's POV
You stopped when you heard Seto hang up his phone and came up from under the blankets. You could tell by the astonished look on his face that he'd been enjoying himself. He growled quietly before grabbing you and flipping you onto your back. His lips touched yours, but only for a second.
"You su…"
"Don't…" you then pressed your lips against his.
Serenity's POV
Joey got home soon after you did, and right away you could tell something was wrong. He didn't even say hello to you as he stormed past your bedroom door.
"Joey? What's wrong? Where's Miya?" "She's with her fiancé. You better make sure you get her that box. I don't want her coming back here!"
"Joey! How can you say something like that? She's one of your best friends!"
"She's engaged to that jerk! And how can she call us friends and not even tell us?!"
"Joey, she's not engaged." you said calmly through his locked door.
"Yes she is. She was talking about it earlier when she was here."
"To Ali?"
"Hell if I know."
"Well if it was Ali, I just talked to her. Miya apparently left her phone here and I answered it when Ali called back. That ring…it's not Miya's engagement ring. It was her mothers. Her brother Ryan gave it to her."
You heard nothing from your brother for a few minutes and finally went back to your room and sat down in your bean bag chair.
Joey's POV
You got up off the bed and walked into Serenity's room. You plopped down on the bottom bunk, making sure you didn't whack your head again.
"God. I'm just as bad as Kaiba was. I jumped to conclusions just like he did…"
"At least you didn't push her away like he did."
"I just about did Serenity. If you hadn't have been here or talked to Ali, I would have pushed her away and lost her forever."
Serenity sat down next to you and took your hand.
"Joey, you should go apologize to her. I know you probably went and yelled at her."
"I will tomorrow at school. I doubt that Kaiba would allow me on his property and probably have me sent to jail or something."
"No, I think you need to find a way to do it now. She might not come to school after what just happened. She's very sensitive and probably thinks you hate her now."
You stared at Miya's black box, it was still sitting on Serenity's dresser. Of all things to leave here, she left her most important things. Staring at it filled you with guilt until you jumped up, grabbed it and ran to your room locking the door again.
You sat on your bed and opened it slowly. Inside was the stack of photos she had been looking through a few weeks ago. On top was the photo of her at her Lex Corp promotion party. The next one was of her parents on a dig in one of Egypt's many tombs; Miya strapped to Amaria's back. Even at about one month old Miya had her golden charm bracelet dangling around her wrist, her millennium item.
Most of the rest were of her brothers, hardly any of her except for a few with Ali. On the very bottom was a photo of her in a ball gown with Kaiba. She looked absolutely gorgeous and the happiest you'd probably ever seen her. Staring at this picture only cemented what you already knew.
Miya and Kaiba were meant to be together, the perfect couple in a way. You believed it even more when you remembered that Kisara and the Priest were together as well, and you knew from your experience with the past lives…history always repeated itself. You just hoped that someday you would find someone you could have that undying love with.
Miya's POV
You turned over on your side, turning your face towards Seto. He was sitting at his desk, typing away at his computer in only his dress pants.
"So much for keeping you in bed today."
"Sorry, apparently we're having some hard technical defects over at Kaiba Dome."
"Figures, but you still need to be getting lots of rest if you plan on dueling in your own tournament."
"At least I won't have to worry about you as much when I do."
"True." you said grabbing the rest of your clothes off the floor. You reluctantly put the uniform back on.
"I'm gonna go change. I can't stand this uniform anymore today."
Seto looked up at you and smirked.
"I could always tear it off you again. I have to admit, it did look good on my floor."
You rolled your eyes and blushed slightly at the thought of what had taken place just minutes ago. After that, you weren't sure about what Ali had been talking about, saying it wasn't all that great of a thing. You had found it to be amazing.
"Be back in a sec." you left his room and went to yours just next door. Since you had moved back in, you'd given the room a complete makeover. Luckily it only took two days.
The floors were now a creamy white marble with strains of gold running threw them. They were heated of course, Seto would have no argument about it. The walls were a sandy brown color except for the wall behind the bed. That wall was a deep royal red.
All the furniture had been switched from cherry to a black stained oak with worn gold hardware. The bed had white sheets with black silky bedding and matching pillows. Since it was a 4 poster bed, you had sheer white linens with hints of gold draping around it. You had also redone the bathroom in dark marbles and light fabrics and hardware.
All through out the redesign, Seto had kept asking where you'd found this design. Apparently he really liked it, but you had never told him where you got the idea. This was the same basic design of the Priest Seto's room during the time he lived in the palace. The only thing missing was the amount of real gold, the view of the Nile and of Kisara's tomb.
You quickly changed into a pair of light colored blue jeans and your cream colored, ribbed turtle neck. When you had finished dressing, you heard a knock at your door.
"Come in!"
"You okay sis?"
"Yeah Aaron. Why do you ask?"
"You aren't upset about Joey?"
"I am, but I know it's a simple misunderstanding. I'll explain if he calms down and actually speaks to me."
"Oh okay. Was just checking."
"Ya know what? You're beginning to take after me too much."
"That's not always a bad thing."
"Ha, thanks Aaron. So what are you and Mokuba up to?"
"Not a whole lot. Just video games like normal."
"Cool, well Seto and I are just about done with final prep, then we'll go out and do something."
"Awesome! Like what?"
"I think you, Mokuba and I should go early Christmas shopping. Who knows how hard Seto will be to buy for."
"Mhm. I'll go tell Mokuba."
"Alright." you said twisting your hair into a French braid. You then shut your door and went back into Seto's adjoined office.
"So what did Aaron want?"
"Just wanted to make sure I wasn't too upset over the whole Joey thing."
"Oh, and he went running down the hall why?"
"I told him that he and Mokuba were going to come shopping with me."
"What for?"
"Not sure, just thought it would get us out of the manor for a bit while you were over at Kaiba Dome patching some things up."
"Sounds good to me. You guys have fun. Oh and we'll meet up someplace for dinner. Just the two of us?"
"Heh, sure. I'm sure Rene won't have a problem cooking for the boys."
"That is one of the reasons I pay her you know."
"What? I love to cook, sorry. And we'll have a blast, just as long as you don't overwork yourself."
"I promise I won't."
"Yeah, that's what you said earlier."
"That was not all my fault thank you very much."
"Never said it was." you said kissing him quickly. You went back into your room and grabbed your purse and rushed down to the living room.
"You guys ready?"
"Yeah! I need out for a bit." Mokuba said standing up and stretching.
"Me too."
The three of you put your shoes and coats on and jumped into your car in the garage. Once out on the road and away from Seto's audio cameras, the plotting began.
"So what should we get Seto?""Defiantly not more dress clothes." Mokuba said turning slightly green.
"Hm, what if we got him normal people clothes. Casual stuff?"
"That would be so awesome. We'd totally need picture of that otherwise I might not believe it after a few years." Aaron said nodding in agreement.
"Hey, speaking of pictures. We should go out and get family pictures taken after the first snow fall! We do only have one picture of you and my brother together." Mokuba said sticking him head into the space between the two front seats.
"Sounds good, and plus…I don't have any pictures of the two of you rascals together."
As you parked in the mall parking lot, you handed both boys 50 bucks.
"I want you two to go and find each other gifts and something special for Seto. Kay?"
"Awesome."
"Sweet."
As they ran off in opposite directions in the mall, you went to find things for the boys. For Aaron you got some dress clothes since he didn't exactly have any. On top of that you got him his own deck belt and a new video game that he'd been asking for. You found some wash out hair dye in just about every color for both the boys. They'd been wanting to do something out of the ordinary and you thought this was a safe way to get away with that.
For Mokuba you found a martial arts uniform, a deck belt and some more casual type clothing. You also got him a video game he'd been wanting. You made a mental note to yourself to tell Seto not to get them.
You knew you'd find more for the boys as it got closer to Christmas but for now, it was time to shop for Seto. You dug through your purse and got out your cell phone and called Rene.
"Hello?"
"Hey Rene, it's Miya."
"Oh Miya, can I help you with something dear?"
"Yeah, can you give me Seto's clothing measurements?"
"Um sure?"
"Me and the boys are getting him casual clothes for Christmas, and I want to make sure they're the right size."
"Ah alright. I'll text them to you."
"Thanks a mil Rene."
You hung up and waited for the message while you stalked down the boys.
"Can we go get some of Seto's stuff now?"
"Yeah, and Rene sent me measurements so we'll know if we're getting the right sizes."
The boys looked at each other than ran into some store that reminded you of a JC Penny's or a Dillard's. You laughed and readjusted your purse on your shoulder. When you finally caught up to them, they had already dove into the first set of 20 some clothing racks.
