Seto didn't understand why Kisara had been right in front of Mokuba's and Noah's school on Noah's first ever day in a education facility outside of the mansion, or why she had said she had wanted to meet his brothers in a different way. He didn't understand why both of his younger brothers were glaring at her like they wished she would just vanish, or even why his brothers bristled when she called him by his first name. The eldest Kaiba also couldn't phantom why the whole Yugi-tachi was glowering at him as Kisara took Yuna's rightful seat, but what really puzzled him was where his rival had gone off to. He had been sure that he had seen her near the gates, but she didn't come in with Yugi and Mana.

Thankfully for him, the teacher was fast to come and insisted that Mana and Kisara introduce themselves. Yugi took the opportunity to place his sister's book bag on her table and Mana was having a great time of torturing Kisara by asking her questions on Egyptian culture and tripping her every time she tried to walk off to take Yuna's place by Seto's. The white-haired female threw a fit over Mana's behavior, which ended in a cat-fight that Mana securely won.

It had been funny and Kisara was forced to find a different bench to sit in, far away from the CEO. Seto didn't understand why it had meant so much to Mana to make sure Kisara was far away from him, but he was grateful none the less. It felt strange having someone like her in the place usually occupied by Yuna only.

Seto felt strange the whole day as Yuna didn't make an appearance at all, and the feeling of Mana, Bakura and Yugi constantly staring at him with disapproving looks wasn't helping any. It was just so ... unusual to have those amethyst eyes glaring at anyone, let alon at Seto, who had been the Moutus friend since they moved into the Game Shop.

At lunch, Kisara had finally gotten her lucky break and she had dragged Seto to the school gate, where quite a few students were gathered just to look at some box. Seeing the box, Seto pushed past them all and took the blue bento box that he had seen and held so many times in the past.

'Yuna ...'

Seto rubbed his head as he thought about what he had done, but his thoughts were interrupted by Kisara insistently tugging on his uniform sleeve, causing Mana to literally attack her again. In the commotion, unfortunately, Seto forgot to go and see where Yuna could have gone as a teacher came to stop the girls from scratching each others' eyes out.

At least he took his rival's lunch bento with him as he left for the rooftop to try and see if Yuna was on school ground.

00000

Said girl had spent the entire day under that lone sakura tree. The tears had stopped, but quiet, dry sobs still rocked the slim body as the Duel Queen rested against the tree. To the ordinary passerby, she looked like a normal brokenhearted girl, but all those who knew about the dreams would have been freaking out as they would have noticed that the open crimson eyes were dull as if their owner was dead.

Yuna was lucky, extremely luck, that no one had tried to talk to her since it would have ended quite badly. As she woke up from the vision, she was surprised by how much it had confused her. Usually, the dreams were as clear as day and she could easily catalogue it in one of the many groups she had. Seeing the drawing in the dirt she made and comparing it to all the things she just saw, Yuna could only separate the vision in two parts, one before the argument she saw and the other part has definitely happened after the Pharaoh's and Seth's battle. It was shading some light on how the High Priest was so easily manipulated by his own father with the help of some herbs, but as to why Kisara was even involved in it all was still as big a mystery now as it has been yesterday.

Sighing, Yuna called Kemo and told him to set guards around the place she was currently occupying, then took a picture of her drawing and erased it. She felt so tired. Yuna knew that when she has visions this frequently she doesn't really get enough rest, but it was impossible for it to be any other way. So she was surprised when she heard something coming near her while she almost dozed off. Knowing that Kemo took his job as seriously as Mahad would, Yuna was prepared for someone who was able to get past all the guards, expecting to see a tall, masculine man with a gun, but she was left staring in shock as a small, brown-furred puppy with the most amazing eyes came out of the nearby bushes. The little guy barely reached to her ankle so he must have been a month old at the most, and his fur was all ruffled. He had a small snout, long little legs with rather big paws, indicating that he was a big breed, and the tail was a bit fluffy. The cute puppy was all dirty and wet as it whimpered for food and from the cold. The blue eyes and the brown fur reminded Yuna greatly of a High Priest for who's reincarnation she has fallen for.

Taking pity on the little guy, Yuna picked him up and took out several tissues, starting to dry his fur while making soothing noises. The puppy let out a happy noise at the gentle, caring treatment and snuggled further in the Duel Queen's arms. Yuna chuckled at the action, scratching the pup behind his left ear and he started wagging his tail. Putting him down, Yuna took out her lunch and gave all that she knew he could eat to the starving dog, along with some water and milk she had with her. She watched in content calmness she knew it should be impossible for her to feel right now. It's like the pup's ignorance of the tough world and his cuteness was making her forget her own troubles for the time being.

When the little dog had finally finished eating, he went over to Yuna and started nudging her hand in order for her to start to pet him. Chuckling, Yuna did so as she commented, ''You're going to need a name.'' The pup released a single bark and Yuna was surprised by how strong and loud it was. It would make one think that the puppy was an older dog and she didn't doubt that he scared the shit out of many strays with his voice.

''Got quite the voice there, ey boy?'' He barked happily as he wagged his tail when Yuna threw a stick for him to catch. Instantly, he chased after the little stick and Yuna smiled as he started playing with it. Those eyes and that fur (hair) ... it really reminded her of Seth and Seto. Taking the puppy in her hands, Yuna nuzzled the little creature and he barked happily one more, licking her nose. Yuna chuckled as she fished out a hairpin and started bending it in the shape of the sha (Set animal). Putting it on a string she had in her book bag.

Putting it around the little dog's neck, Yuna told him as if he understood her. ''This is the Set animal also known as the sha (also nicknamed Leroy by Carter). It is symbolic of Set; it embodies Set's cunning, strength, and evil. It is an adept hunter, and once it catches a scent, it does not stop. The Set animal was always a mystical creature, and was always treated with fearful reverence. Was ("power") scepters represent the Set-animal. Was scepters were carried by gods, pharaohs, and priests, as a symbol of power, and in later use, control over the force of chaos. However, '' Yuna sighed, ''during the Third Intermediate Period, the Set animal faded from Egypt.''

The little dog titled its head to the side as Yuna took out her phone and found a picture of her painting of the Set animal. ''The Set animal is as big as a horse and its legs are as long as its body; it resembles a greyhound, which I'm guessing is your breed judging from your nose. Although it is rare for greyhounds to be any other color but gray ...'' Yuna chuckled as she petted his head. ''It is muscular and unnaturally lean; its body is covered in shiny reddish gray fur. It has a reptilian tail that forks and has triangular points at the end, resembling a squid's tentacles; its tail moves as if it has a life of its own. Its ears are oversized and stick up like a rabbit's, but are cone-shaped and curl inward; they are wider at the top than they bottom and can rotate almost three-hundred sixty degrees. Its snout is like an anteater's, round and curved and it has razor sharp teeth. Its eyes glow red when it catches its prey's scent. In some depictions of Set, he appears as the Set animal.''

The little pup seemed confused and Yuna just found the expression too cute. ''The Set animal is very strong, you know. The Set animal has no magical powers, but it's physical ones are so powerful that they scared even the Gods of ancient Egypt. Its speed is what scared some the most. Others were afraid of the drool it produces, which is like acid and burns anything it touches.''

Yuna settled against the tree more comfortably, feeling another vision slowly starting to overtake her. ''There ... was a High Priest once named after Set. His name was Seth, and in light of all of this ... you remind me of him with your eyes and fur ... I though it would be appropriate for your ... name to ... be ... ... Seth ...'' Seth watched as his new friend fell asleep and he yawned a puppy yawn as he settled next to the reincarnated Pharaoh and followed her into unconsciousness that is sleep.

Yuna knew that it wasn't possible for her to have so many dreams and visions if they weren't trying to warn her of something. This was really starting to confuse her, but it felt like she probably should pay extra attention to this particular vision. She wasn't sure why she felt like she should, since she knew that she will see everything she needs to weather she wants to or not, but she still followed her instincts.

The girl was surprised to see that this was a vision she saw before, or so she thought. It started off with a younger Seth saving Kisara when she had been a pleasure slave for some bandits. Yuna only now realized that she knew that even though she had never had any dreams concerning only Kisara. This was getting stranger and stranger with every second that passed.

The next thing Yuna saw were the things she saw in the most recent visions she'd had in the last couple of days. It was followed by the image of the Pharaoh's and Seth's duel, then what had happened before the Pharaoh came for the duel. Yuna's original surprise to the fact that Kisara had joined Aknadin when he became the Dark Priest was nothing in comparison to the revelation that she only now learned of.

Kisara had been jealous of the Nameless Pharaoh's position in Seth's heart, so she had used magical herbs to make him be attracted to her. Seth's heart had place for only his cousin and father, since every other family member the two had was dead, so when his father had became that ... creature, Seth had given his heart entirely to the Pharaoh. Kisara wanted to be a queen and the easiest way to do so was to marry Seth and kill the current Pharaoh, which was already a half done job.

Seth had been tricked into becoming his father's puppet only when Kisara died and her Ka entered his soul, trapping his two Blue-Eyes that were his Kas. In a rage while he still had some control of his body, Seth had stabbed his father and killed him. Aknadin used the opportunity and infiltrated his son's soul and he and Kisara commanded the body as Seth was trapped by his own realization of what he had said and done to his cousin.

The Pharaoh had then arrived and they fought. Since the forth White Dragon was still dormant in the Shrine of Wedjet as Shimon's servant for years, but was given to the young Pharaoh should he need it to return with Seth alive, the Pharaoh had let Seth launch as much attacks at him as he wished, letting Mahad (Dark Magician) protect him and trying to destroy the tablet that represented Kisara's dragon. Mahad's tablet ended up being the one that was destroyed, but the White Dragon with Blue Eyes came to protect the Chosen Pharaoh and destroyed the tablet that was housing Kisara's Ka. Going into Seth's soul, the dragon dragged him out to see the Pharaoh falling to the ground. Acting on instinct alone, Seth pushed Kisara and the Dark Priest into the back of his mind and took control of his body just to catch the youth before he hit the ground. The fourth White Dragon then settled into Seth's soul and banished the two intruders, thus making Seth the sole wielder of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

After the battle, Yuna was shown the scene where Seth spent almost an hour apologizing to the Pharaoh, and the other let him despite knowing that they were short on time. The ride back to the palace was silent and the Pharaoh rested against his cousin as Seth steered the horse back home.

But that wasn't the only thing she found out.

Apparently, the fight she had seen in the Pharaoh's bedchamber was because the young monarch had followed Seth and found him wondering when Kisara's dragon could become his, but the way he had said it sounded like he had been wondering when Kisara could be his. When Seth had arrived to check on the injured Pharaoh, or at least Yuna thought that that's what the High Priest was in the royal youth's room for, the Pharaoh had started the conversation about the rumors that said Seth had held a Ka-hunt in the city and things escalated before either of them noticed and the Pharaoh brought up Kisara. Insulted, Seth had been merciless and played at every weakness he knew his cousin to have before he stormed out.

The Pharaoh had been so sick that he had almost died in the first battle that had occurred after the argument, and right after that was when Aknadin became Zork's servant and the Thief King Bakura was sacrificed in order to summon the creator of the Shadow Realm.

Now, the new image she was seeing was of Seth, a long time after the Pharaoh's death, puring over the stone tablet Yuna had seen in the museum. As Seth muttered to himself how this will help his reincarnated Pharaoh, things started clicking in Yuna's head. Sure, she had known for years that Seth was the one that had commissioned the tablet to be made and he was the one that had actually carved it and drew the designs for it, but she had never seen him doing it. As he worked, Seth continued with his ''what if''s and ''would've been''s and Yuna realized that he loved his Pharaoh far more than a cousin should. After all, no cousin or relative say with such possessiveness and adoration ''MY cousin'' as Seth was saying.

She still found the notion impossible, but she knew that Seth's sexuality had never been questioned. After all, he only ever wanted to possess Kisara's Ka, not the woman herself ... And the man never showed any feelings for anyone other that his cousin ...

Could Seth have really loved the Pharaoh?

''My Pharaoh ...'' Yuna was snapped out of her thoughts as she heard the almost whimper of one of the strongest men to ever walk the sands of Egypt. ''I wish that I could let you rest peacefully, but I know that you will never be at peace as you are now ... I promise that I will give you the life you had always desired! O promise that I will be there for you the entire way! I promise that I shall find you ... my beloved ...''

Yuna gasped and she started feeling disconnected to the images that were still playing through her mind as her soul was slowly tugged back into her body.

Yuna woke with a start as everything became as clear as day. Little Seth whimpered as Yuna accidentally woke him from his sleep when she started writing down her dream in the dirt beside the new drawings she had drawn. It was that of a graving man as he cried, beside it was that of a beautiful woman trying to seduce him and failing. Next to that one was that of the sick Pharaoh and one of the healers being supported by the guards and Priest Shada in his claim that Seth should let the Pharaoh rest. The one on it's left was of a strange confrontation of the Pharaoh and Kisara before the Pharaoh's trip to Kul Elna where it was obvious that she ws trying to tell him that she would have Seth all to herself.

Yuna was the most surprised by the one of Kisara trying to kiss Seth, but the taller man disentangled himself from her before she could succeed and the one on it's right that showed the High Priest holding a rather naked Nameless Pharaoh as he kissed his temple. Eyes widening at what that particular image could mean, Yuna quickly finished writing and took photos of every drawing. Only then did she realize what time it was.

''Oh Ra! School's already over! Yugi must be giving everyone hell in his worry!''

Seth watched curiously as Yuna packed up her things and he made a startled noise when she took him in his arms. Chuckling, Yuna teased the puppy. ''Did you think I would leave you here, all alone? You should know better.'' The dog happily waged its tail and barked in apology as Yuna rounded the corner, where a panicking Kemo was waiting for her. The bodyguard visible relaxed at the sight of her and immediately opened the limo's door for her. He arched an eyebrow at the puppy, but said noting of it. There were far more pressing matters at hand. Signaling the driver to start the car, Keom got in and turned to the Duel Queen.

''Yuna-sama, there is a commotion back at the mansion. Your brother and friend's couldn't find you, so they informed Master Pegasus and things got a bit out of control. The last I heard from Croquet, Mana-san was yelling at someone.''

Yuna tsked as she realized what must have happened for Mana to start yelling at anyone. That girl wasn't the type to start fights, but she was also very protective and loyal to her friends.

''I'm sure you can resolve it, Yuna-sama.'' Kemo said, even though his voice was a bit unsure.

Yuna smiled at the man to ease some of his worries as she told him with utter conviction. ''I will be resolving it, alright.''

Not understanding what the Queen of Games meant, Kemo focused his attention on the puppy nestled in her arms and looking fat too smug for its status as a stray. ''If you don't mind me asking, but the pup-''

''His name is Seth and he eased my boredom this afternoon, so I'm giving him a home.''

''It's not that I mind and I'm sure that Pegasus-shachou and Cecillia-sama will have no objections, but-'' He though about ti and just shook his head. ''Oh forget it! He's too cute to have flees.''

Seth growled at the thought that someone would think he had such disgusting things on him and Yuna laughed as the dog gave Kemo a puppy glare that freaked the man out since it almost resembled a certain CEO's ice-cold death glare. Not long after that, Yuna found herself in front of the mansion that had became her home and was surprised by all the noise her friends were making. The staff that was working outside flinched every time someone raised their voice and Yuna swore that she saw one of the maids crying through the windows.

Walking into the house with Seth in her arms and Kemo and his team behind her, Yuna stopped and gapped at the sight before her.

The whole group that had been there when Seto stormed out with the addition of Sara, Seira, their brothers and Taro, John, Samantha and Stan were all in the front porch, along with the terrified maids and butlers trying to save what they could of the furniture. Seto had arrived with the intention to talk with his rival, but the second the others saw Kisara, who had appeared in front of the CEO's mansion and had followed him like a lost puppy, chaos erupted. Mana and Mai were screeching at the white-haired girl Yuna clearly recognized as Kisara as Mahad and Solomon argued with Seto. Said CEO was also being scolded by his own brothers as Yugi tried to calm down the old teachers and the shop owner while occasionally glaring at the brunet. Sara was arguing with Zigfried because of some stupid comment the German had made and Seria was doing her best to explain the situation to the other kids. Yuna was surprised to see Kaito and Gakuto trying to climb onto Seto and punch him everywhere they could and the Yugi-tachi were either trying to calm the situation down or arguing with the blue-eyed pair. Mia was directing the servants to save this and that, while adding something insulting every now and then at Seto as the young man tried to explain himself, but then the Doma boys jumped into it and Amelda started pulling on Kisara's hair as the girl tried to get into a fist fight with a very annoyed Ishizu. Iona was trying to calm the girls down and Ironheart and Arthur could do nothing but gawk at the complicated scene before them, trying to dodge the flying objects that the girls threw at each other.

Finally getting fed up with the noise, Yuna bent her head and whispered ''Speak.'' to Seth and the puppy obeyed. Everyone jumped at the sound of the loud barking, thinking that some big dog had somehow entered the premises and that the guards were chasing, only to freeze at the sight of an annoyed Yuna as she tapped her foot in obvious irritation.

''Yuna!''

Ignoring the exclamation, Yuna pointed at the mess around them all. ''What is the meaning of this?''

At lest they had the common sense to look sheepish for how they had acted, although a pair of blue eyes was glaring at the appearance of the Duel Queen.

Serenity was the first to notice the cute dog Yuna was holding. ''Aw~! Look at him! He's so kawai!''

That brought all the attention to the brown Irish Grey Wolfhound as they all started cooing at the little puppy, who was getting a bit annoyed from all the attention.

Kisara snorted. ''I guess that such a weakling suits you quite well. What's his name? Fluffy?''

Yuna smiled in a way that put everyone on edge. ''Actually, this little one's name is Seth.''

Stunned silence.

No one knew how to react to such a thing. Set(h) was the name everyone fears, so for a little, cute thing like this puppy to bear the name of the God of Chaos, or the most respected High Priest's, seemed a bit too much at the moment.

Finally, Kisara started seething in anger. ''How dare you give such a respected name to a filthy mutt from the streets!?'' She couldn't believe that someone who supposedly knew so much about history would do something stupid like that.

Yuna looked at the girl with her ancient eyes, still haunted from the images she had seen. This was the reason Seth hesitated, but now she understood why it was so. Kisara was no longer a threat to her relationship with Seto. However, it was time to put her in her place and see where Seto stood in this whole situation.

''I dare just as you dare be so disrespectful to that man. And to his reincarnation.''

The blue-eyed girl froze. ''W-what are you talking about?'' She asked nervously. There was no way this stupid bitch in front of her could know something she only knew thanks to her family's business. There was just no way!

Yuna stepped closer to the slightly taller girl, their close proximity showing all the differences between their exotic features. By the way all the males in the room were staring at the Duel Queen, Kisara realized that it was fairly obvious that Yuna won this battle. It irked her greatly that Seto didn't even try to compare them. The CEO had his eyes only on Yuna, and Kisara could easily read all the emotions he wasn't aware he wasn't hiding; the lust, the love and the worry that he had finally severed the bond that they had thought couldn't be destroyed by the Gods themselves.

Yuna arrogantly lifted her head as she looked pass her nose at the other girl. ''Don't think that you can base something off of only one little image.'' Kisara gasped at the implication of the words. ''You don't know why he did what he did in that vision you saw, but I do.''

''What do you mean?!''

Yuna smirked and took out her phone, scrolling through the pictures, then connecting it to the big flat screen TV in the living room. The drawings she had drawn that afternoon appeared and she showed them all. No one could look away from them, but she made sure that the last one was not placed among the others. That one was just to show Kisara who Seth cared for more.

''Take a good look, Kisara. This is the truth.''

''So this is from where she seemed so familiar.'' Seto whispered, feeling all interests he once had for the girl slipping. Kisara was really only an annoyance that wouldn't leave him alone, and since he felt like he had seen her somewhere before, his curiosity had been torturing him like crazy. Kisara wouldn't tell him why when he had asked her, but now that he knew, he didn't feel like spending one more second near the annoying girl.

''Yes. She is the same Kisara that Seth had hesitated over, but now I know why.''

''You do?'' Everyone asked in the same voice. Bakura walked over to the reincarnated Pharaoh and looked deep into her eyes, surprised to still see some confusion in them despite the claim that she understood everything. But, there was also some sleepiness, so he wondered if it was because of that.

''I do. Seth once saved Kisara, when he was a lot younger, and the woman became obsessed with him. Once she learned who he was, her sick obsession became even worse. Wanting to seduce him in order to become a queen, Kisara first just used her body and the fact that she housed the third White Dragon that Seth had been searching for. It earned her the privilege to get a house in Memphis, however the people who lived there overheard her intentions and had declared her a whore. They stoned her and thus forcing Seth to move her to the palace. Although Kisara was hurt, she was satisfied that Seth 'cared','' Yuna made quotes with her fingers as she sneered the word, ''enough about her to face his precious Pharaoh's wrath for such an act, so the next time he visited her, she used some herbs that put Seth under her spell. Although being a powerful sorcerer himself, Seth hadn't predicted that move and he was entrapped.''

''Seriously?!'' Kisara screeched. ''You're going to make me look like a bad guy, just because you're je-''

''SHUT UP!'' Kisara jumped as Seto hissed out the words, poison dripping from every syllable.

''Bu-youwee!'' Kisara started jumping up and down, unintentionally getting away from the two rivals in her hoping on one foot as she massaged her shin on the other leg. ''What was that for, you little brat!''

Noah glared up at the girl, angry at how she was acting and blaming her for everything. ''For interrupting and trying to defy Seto-nii!''

The eldest Kaiba brother arched an eyebrow, seeing as how Noah had acted in their last little exchange.

''Why you worthless little-OUCH!'' Kisara fell to the floor as she glared up at the raven-haired Kaiba.

''Don't you DARE talk to either of my brothers in such a manner!'' Mokuba yelled, already pissed off with this woman for severing a bond he considered so precious and perfect. His Nii-sama needed Yuna like no other, and this bitch was trying to destroy their special relationship.

Yuna let Seth jump out of her arms and he followed her as she came to stand in front of the other girl, who was glaring up at them all. ''Even under a spell, Seth didn't betray his cousin, you know. He couldn't. The Pharaoh was far to precious to that man, seeing as he had cherished him since the Nameless Pharaoh was born. The worst Seth had ever done was getting in a fight with him, and that was resolved not even a day later. The Destined Duel that everyone knows of happened not then, but at a different time, just before the Last Battle of the Shadow War. Seth had insisted that they don't go through with it since the Pharaoh was already exhausted, but since the Pharaoh knew that it was their last chance to fight like that, he insisted. The fight that you saw was when Aknadin as the Dark Priest took control of Seth with your help when your unworthy dragon entered his soul and pushed the other two back.''

Gasps where heard as Kisara glared at the girl in front of her.

''The Pharaoh fought, but only to defend himself and seeing that, Seth finally was able to call on the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon and he defeated both Kisara and Aknadin, saving his Pharaoh from death. Today, there are once again four Blue-Eyes White Dragons, but three means perfection. The forth is in my possession, where it will stay.''

''You disgust me!'' Kisara hissed at the Duel Queen.

''My Blue-Eyes White Dragon does not represent you, Kisara. No, in this time and place, you are not the host of a Blue-Eyes. Here and now, you are what Kisara had last became - a whore. The way you're acting is disgraceful and without any dignity, the way you are so submissive. It makes me sick. Have you no pride?''

The woman laughed scornfully at Yuna as she still refused to remove herself from the ground. ''Pride?'' Kisara snorted. ''Don't make me laugh! You're so prideful, and yet you can't get what you want! Tell me, where did your pride get you today? Or even the 'precious Pharaoh'?'' She spat the words out like poison.

Yuna chuckled as she crunched in front of the floored girl and opened the last image she had yet to show anyone else. ''Why don't you tell me?''

Looking at the last drawing in the dirt that the Queen of Games had recorded on her phone, Kisara gasped and let her jaw drop as her eyes nearly fell out of their sockets at the picture. Seeing a good opportunity to make this person who had caused so much distress to his new friend pay, Seth walked in between the two girls, positioned himself in front of Kisara's face and relieved himself.

Bakura and Marik burst out laughing as Kisara jumped out with a horrified shriek and spat out everything that she could, before running out of the mansion like hounds of hell were licking at her feet. Seeing that, almost everyone else joined in on the two maniacs' laughter. The big mansion roared with laughter as Seth happily jumped around, liking that he had chased out the demon.

Everyone was too distracted by the events and the cute puppy to notice that Yuna had quietly slipped out of the room.

Everyone but Seto, that is.

Following her into her room on the second floor, Seto was about to say something when Yuna jumped out of her window. Yelling without thinking, he dashed for the window only to see that he had startled his rival as she was balancing herself on the branch outside her room. Seeing her rival made Yuna lose focus and she slipped, but Seto jumped out and caught her hand as he held onto the thick branch.

''What do you think you're doing, you idiot!'' He yelled at the girl that was now dangling by his arm. Yuna sheepishly rubbed the back of her head with her free hand with a small guilty smile for worrying her rival as Seto tsked at her. They both froze, however, when they heard a loud crack before the branch broke off. With a loud yelp, they both fell to the ground as what little of the leafs left fell around them.

Yuna was the first to sit up, not understanding how the fall hadn't been a bit more painful until she realized that she was sitting on Seto's chest as his arms held her close. Yuna blushed cherry red as she tried to get up, but Seto sat up and pulled her into his chest. ''S-Seto?''

The young CEO didn't want to relinquish his hold on is precious rival, even as he, too, blushed. He couldn't believe that because of his own curiosity he had almost ruined his relationship with the one he loved and that he had acted the way he had with their friends and his own brothers! He always liked thinking that he was nothing like the High Priest, but he had almost made the same mistake as that man.

''I'm so so sorry, Yuna!'' He started as he buried his face in her hair, feeling Yuna slowly embracing him back. ''I never wanted this to happed! I never wanted for our friendship to dissolve! Please, forgive me for being so foolish. I'm so sorry!'' He continued mumbling all sorts of silly things, but he didn't care. Just as long as Yuna forgave him.

He stopped, however, when he felt Yuna's gentle little hand on his cheek. ''Yuna?''

He was greeted with her gentle smile, full of warmth and understanding as she pressed their foreheads together. ''It's okay, Seto. I understand. I understand everything.'' She pulled away slightly, but Seto immediately cupped her face with one hand. It was incredible how she seemed to be made for him, how they fit so perfectly like puzzle peaces.

''I don't deserve you.'' Seto whispered to himself, not believing that this incredible person would really want to be around a bastard like him.

''I'm not the one who can judge that, but I'm glad we met, Seto.'' Yuna said as she nuzzled the hand that was caressing her cheek.

She was surprised by how Seto tensed at those words and she called out ''Seto?'' with obvious worry. She didn't know that Solomon had told Seto earlier that if this (the whole misunderstanding with Kisara) was how he was going to be and repay Yuna for everything she has done over the years, he wished the young CEO never helped Yuna that day when the bullies took a piece of her broken Puzzle, even if it would have left her in the state she had been back then, or ... Even that Seto never met Yuna. Seto couldn't imagine his life without Yuna. So much would be different and he knew that there was a probability that he would never even meet Yuna if he hadn't met her back then. And he just couldn't live with that.

''I'm glad.'' Yuna was startled as Seto quietly spoke, his breath brushing against her lips and making her shiver. ''I really am glad that we met, Yuna. I just can't imagine what my life would be like without you in it.'' The girl's breath hitched as she saw the emotions in Seto's eyes as he started inching closer to her. She let her eyelids flutter closed as she moved closer to him as well and they were just a few millimeters apart when something brown and little wriggled between them with a happy bark.

The rivals jerked back as they saw Seth happily wagging his tail as he looked at them with his blue eyes and they heard the others rounding the corner of the house just in time to realize in what position they were, but it was too late. When Mahad, Bakura and Mana were the first to come into view, the three froze at the sight of Yuna sitting in Seto's lap with her legs around his waist while he held her close and Seto squeezed between them. The two younger Kaibas and Yugi were the next, closely followed by the Yugi-tachi and the Ishtars. The Paradias company bumped into the Egyptians in front of them and they got bumped into by the remaining group and staff. Yuna and Seto were frozen as everyone spread a little to see what the big deal was about, only to gawk at the two rivals with the puppy.

Stunned silence followed, in which Seto cursed in every language he knew that Seth had interrupted them!

A/N: Haha! I'm evil for making them wait so long for that one normal, uninterrupted kiss! I hope you liked it, and if you have any questions, please ask. I'll be more than happy to answer!
