Aaron's POV

You sat on the bed in Miya's room, Mokuba next to you. Seto was sitting at the desk, staring out the window. You had your attention on the pile of things that sat in the corner chair of the room. All of her things had been brought from the room in the Duel tower, back to her duelist room. You were about to get up and go roam around when your millennium star surged a bit.

"Something wrong Aaron?" Mokuba asked nudging you. Seto's head perked up and he turned to look at you.

"No, I'm fine. I just…felt something." you got up off the bed and went to Miya's pile of stuff.

-Surely she didn't leave her item in her room.- you asked your self.

You froze when you felt something heavy clunk into your hand. Although you could tell it was metal, it was warm.

"What is it Aaron?" Seto asked, turning around in the desk chair.

"Miya dueled without her item. She left it in her bag." you said while pulling it out and holding it tightly in your hand.

"But if she did, then how did she summon her dragon?" you said staring at it in disbelief.

"She used her duel disk, duh." Mokuba said rolling his eyes.

"But Mokuba, you're holograms can't dig people out of feet and tons of snow. They'd just pass right through it."

Seto stood up from his chair and leaned against the wall, looking as if he was trying to ponder something.

You looked up at him, and your hand began to tingle. When it did that, you knew exactly why your millennium item had picked up the sudden surge.

"Hey Seto…"

"Yeah Aaron?"

"I think you should hold onto this. It's very important to Miya, and I don't want to lose it or have it go missing."

You walked over and put it in his hand then went back over to Mokuba.

"Let's go out and walk around a bit. I'm starting to get cabin fever."

"But we…"

You motioned towards the door, and he caught your drift.

"Well, I have my cell phone Seto. We're going to go walk around, see ya in a bit."

Seto's POV

You found it strange that the boys were being slightly cheerful, but you guessed Aaron was somewhat use to this. Mokuba on the other hand, was probably just feeding off Aaron's mood.

You were doing alright until you heard the door shut, then you felt the emptiness and everything you'd been holding back from the boys. It had been killing you to think that you had almost killed Miya once, now you're arena technology had put her into a coma.

You sank to the floor, your back against the wall. It felt like your chest was caving in, then you felt your hand warm up and tingle. You opened your hand and stared down at Miya's pendant.

Suddenly, the room around went black, and you were beginning to believe your hidden depression was driving you insane.

"Seto?"

You looked around frantically since you would have known that voice anywhere. It was Miya's, and you were desperate to hear it again.

"Miya? Is that you?"

"Well duh. Who else would it be?"

"Right now, It could just be me going crazy."

"Nope, it's me."

You saw a faint figure appear in a pale white light. Within moments, Miya was standing just an arms length away from you. You almost didn't recognize her at first since her hair had a light blue tint to it and was wearing what looked like a white hospital gown.

"Miya please tell me I'm going crazy…."

"You're not going crazy. I know you don't really believe but you're here thanks to my pendant."

"How?"

"Well, until my body heals a bit my soul will reside here. Using it's powers, I'm able to temporarily have your soul in here too. It won't be more than a 30 minutes though."

"So, this is all real?"

"Well, if you really don't believe it, I'll be okay if you think you're going crazy." she said as she sat down next to you. She took your hand and you knew you weren't dreaming or going crazy. Even in you're most realistic dreams, Miya's hands were never warm. They were always cold to remind you that she was just in your mind, and that you could wake up and she'd be there.

"Okay, now I know I'm not crazy."

She cocked an eyebrow in slight confusion.

"Your hands are warm."

"Okay?"

"I just know I'm not crazy okay?" you said smiling a bit.

"If you say so Seto. Just making sure I won't have to have your head checked when I wake up."

Miya's POV

You could have run to him and tackled him since you hadn't expected to see Seto. You had figured that Aaron would have been the one to show up, but apparently he had given your item to Seto before it had attached itself to his soul.

"If you say so Seto. Just making sure I won't have to have your head checked when I wake up."

His face faded to a solemn blank slate.

"Seto?"

"Miya, I'm sorry. I wish I wasn't so stupid and such…such a jerk. I wanted to win this tournament so bad that I was willing to possibly hurt people to do it."

"Seto, calm down. It's…well not really okay but I understand. I know how much it hurt when Yugi beat you, and I know how much that you've wanted to gain your title back."

"Miya, that still gives me no…"

"Hey, I wasn't finished. I'm just glad to see that you're sincerely sorry about this, and it shows that you're starting to move past it."

"It's because of you."

"What have I done? Besides almost kick your butt a few times?"

"Before I had you, my company, my brother and my reputation were all that mattered to me. Now that I've got you, my dueling reputation doesn't matter. All I need is you and Mokuba, and I'm happy. Although, I'd put up a fight to make sure my company doesn't get messed with."

"Well duh. You've put most of your life into that company, I wouldn't expect you to just let it fade away or get put into someone else's hands. Just as long as you don't go all ego-maniac to keep it, I'll be alright with it."

"Well, I can't promise that, but I'll sure as hell try. But, I think you'll need to keep me in check some days."

"Okay, I will." you said smiling.

You felt something touch your hand lightly, as if handling a gentle infant.

"Miya?"

"Yeah Seto?"

"Something wrong?"

"No, but is there someone in my room?"

"Unless it's a doctor, there shouldn't be. Why?"

"I don't know, just felt like someone was holding my hand, but it felt too gentle to be a doctor."

"It's probably Wheeler. He was next door with Yugi but I guess he snuck into your room."

"Oh god. Is Yugi okay?"

"He is now. He just woke from his coma not 20 minutes ago. He's really worried about you, and is doing the same thing I am."

"What's that?"

"Blaming ourselves."

"Why the hell is he blaming himself? And why are you?"

"He thinks that if he hadn't attacked that you wouldn't be in a coma, and well…You already know mine."

You sighed and rolled your eyes.

"Seto, don't be so hard on yourself. It could have been anyone out there, and it just happened to be me."

Seto's eyes focused on the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with you.

"Oh come on Seto, knock it off. I'll be fine okay?" you said gripping his hand tightly while the other forced his head up. He seemed distant for a moment then crashed his lips onto yours.

Fast Forward 3 Days: 6 PM.

Miya's POV

As expected by everyone, as soon as you woke from your coma you fought off the doctors and forced them to let you out of your prison like room. You expected Seto to put more of a fight to make you stay there for a while, but oddly he only lightly pushed it. To everyone else, this was a complete shock but it wasn't to you. After all, he knew you were alright since he'd spent most of his free time with you in the sprite realm until you woke up.

You hadn't been too worried about waking up alone since you had spent so much time with Seto, but Joey was there. Yugi was still in the room next door, so when you had woke up, you snuck past the doctors and surprised Yugi. You had never seen him cry before so you knew he had been really worried about you and took it on himself personally.

Now, you sat in your room finally changing out of your hospital gown and cutting off your band.

"Everything going okay in here?" Seto asked as he walked in.

"Yeah, never thought I'd miss my jeans so much." you said as you zipped them and began digging for a shirt.

When you turned around to face him, you saw him flinch and you looked at him oddly. Then you remembered that you were still covered in now fading bruises. Not wanting to keep the memory fresher in his mind, you quickly pulled your white tank top on then threw on your light blue button shirt.

"So, what's the update on the final duel?"

"There won't be one."

"What? Don't tell me that you're canceling it all because of some little avalanche?"

"Some little avalanche? Well, in any case, that's not why there won't be a duel. I talked to Yugi and he told us to run the decks through the simulator, and he said we'd base the winnings on what came out of that."

"And?" you said cocking an eyebrow.

"You tied."

"You've got to be kidding me? We tied? You can't announce it to the public like that. They're expecting to have a World Champion duelist."

Seto sat down on the bed and motioned for you to sit next to him. You finished buttoning your shirt and sat next to him, and laced your fingers in his.

"Well, Yugi forfeited and gave you the title."

"He did what! Why?"

"He still keeps his King of Games title, but you are now the World Duel Champion."

You were speechless.

"He…really…"

"Yes Miya. You're the champion and now I'll have to worry about people coming after you all the time to try and get your title."

"Am I going to have to worry about you coming after it?"

"No. We'll never have to face each other."

"How can you be so sure about that?"

"I won't join any tournament you do. That's how."

"But Seto.."

"No buts. That's my final decision. I'll go ego-manic on others, not on you." he said flashing his signature smirk.

"Well aren't you the golden standard of a gentleman?" you said rolling your eyes in sarcasm.

You were about to kiss him when you heard a knock on your door, and from how light it was you figured it was either Mokuba or Aaron.

"Come in!"

Seconds later the door burst open and Aaron and Mokuba came running in and nearly tackled you. After they had calmed down and you were able to breathe again, they sat down next to you, one on each side.

"We didn't interrupt anything did we?" Aaron said snidely, looking at you then up at Seto.

You and Seto exchanged glances and looked at them oddly for a moment.

"What would you be interrupting?" you said in unison.

Both boys looked at you in the same odd way you had looked at them, that's when it hit you.

"Um guys, why would we be doing that when you were suppose to come up after you were done eating?"

Seto still seemed slightly confused.

"Oh jeeze Bro! You don't get it?" Mokuba said laughing a bit.

"Miya?" he asked looking at you over Aaron's head.

"Seto, they thought they were interrupting our sex life." you said a bit hesitantly. It freaked you out a bit that they were already thinking about that and how they were interrupting you and Seto. But then again, they were both 13, and you figured that was normal for a boy.

Seto blushed for a moment, and gladly neither of the boys noticed, they were too busy looking at you and waiting for a response.

"If you two are waiting for any further comment, I'm afraid I'll have to report you to Mr. Kaiba's security. We don't take lightly to paparazzi."

"What?" Aaron and Mokuba said in shock.

"You heard me. We don't tolerate paparazzi." You then began tickling them both. Since you were still a bit weak from being in bed 3 days, they started overpowering you and the three of you tumbled to the floor.

"Hey, two on one isn't fair." Seto said as he got down on the floor and grabbed Aaron and began attacking him.

Once the boys were out of breath and begging for mercy you and Seto finally stopped and leaned against the bed, breathing heavy as well. It only took a moment for the boys to recoup and turn their attack to Seto.

"Get the traitor!" they screamed before tackling him.

"Traitor?"

"Yeah Seto, you're a guy so you're suppose to be on our side. Not hers!"

"Yeah what he said."

"But why? She's so pretty, I couldn't help myself."

"A-ha! So you've brainwashed him!"

You turned and looked wide-eyed at Seto. He had just sold you out to them. Yet again, they turned the tickle onslaught onto you.

"Seto Kaiba! How could you!" you gasped between breaths.

Everything quieted down as a loud knock came at the door. Seto got up off the floor and answered it.

"Mr. Kaiba, we need Ms. Suro's presence. It's time to announce her winning."

The boys stopped and backed up and helped you off the floor.

"Okay, let's go. I wanna get this ceremony crap over so we can go home." you said as you adjusted your shirt.

"We have your dueling outfit for you out in your dressing room. We're trying to make it seem like today was the day for finals."

"Thanks Roland. I'll be down in a moment."

Once Roland was gone, you went and grabbed your duel disk and started searching for your deck.

"You're deck is in the simulator. We had to make it seem that the duel was finished and ended in a tie. So we used our hologram system to play out the rest of the duel, now all you had to do is be the real you for the ceremony."

"Really? Can't you just use the hologram again and we can just go home?"

"No Miya. I have to be there to announce you, and I'm not announcing a hologram when I've got the real thing right here."

"You are evil you know that?" you said glaring at him in fake disgust.

"Of course I do. But thanks for the reminder." he said while folding his arms across his chest and smirking.

You rolled your eyes and went down to the dressing rooms, and sure enough you're dueling outfit was there, but it was new. It didn't have the tears in it that had come with being worn many time and put through a lot of hell.

"Everything okay Miya?"

"Yeah, but um, who fixed my uniform?"

Seto didn't answer for a few moments.

"No one fixed it, we just had to get you a new one."

"Why? What happened to my old one?"

You opened the door and was planning on demanding an answer but with the look on his face, you weren't sure if you should push the subject,

"What?"

"Miya, the staff couldn't get all the blood out of it and the avalanche had torn it to bits pretty much."

"Oh." you said weakly, not realizing that you had been that badly wounded. But then again, you were in a coma for a while and once you had gotten out, most everything had healed to minor damage thanks to some help from the ancient magic.

You then turned back around and went back to your dressing room and silently slipped the new uniform on. Once you had it on completely, you noticed that Seto hadn't missed a detail. When he had it remade, he even included the tear in the shoulder.

"Thanks Seto."

"For what?"

"Nothing in particular."

"O-kay then…"

You stepped out and reattached your duel disk to your arm. Seto handed you you're deck and you placed it in its slot.

"You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go get this thing over with."

You followed Seto to where Roland was waiting for you.

"We're going back up to the arena, and that's where the ceremony will take place."

"I'll see you up there." Seto said before jumping onto the awaiting helicopter.

You shook your head and sighed. He always had to make some grand entrance. As he disappeared from sight, Roland led you up to the arena, which was now a bright green valley instead of a cold tundra.
