Chapter 6 - The Pain in Their Hearts

The ending is fast approaching...I think only two more chapters.

The month flew by.

Seto spent as much time with Kay, Adelinda, and Mokuba as humanly possible. The paparatzi ate it up, but he didn't care.

The headlines came up much like this.

"Seto Kaiba madly in love."

"Seto's new lady."

"CEO's New Investment."

And some stranger than that. Kay didn't seem to mind either, but she did blush at a couple of them and laughed them off pleasently.

And then it was her last day in Domino.

He was working that day so she was spending it with her friends.

He tried working on projects, but all he could think was "she's leaving tomorrow. She's leaving tomorrow. She's leaving tomorrow."

Finally, he slammed his fists on his desk.

"GOD DAMN IT!" he yelled.

"Seto?" He looked up and she was tilting her head at him. "Are you alright?" He collapsed back into his chair and massaged his temples.

"Yes, I'm fine. I just have a lot of work to catch up."

"Well...do you still want to go out for dinner?" He shut down his computer and stood up.

"Ready." She laughed and they walked out together.



She looked up at Seto. He seemed very distracted tonight. Did he really care if she was leaving tomorrow? You know, a lot? She kind of hoped so.

"Seto?" He looked up at her. "Um...are you...working tomorrow? I'm leaving early and I wasn't sure if you'd be able to make it."

'You CAN'T go there!' A little voice in his mind warned. 'If you do, you know you won't let her leave. Say good bye tonight.'

"I'm sorry, but I do have to work. I took off too much time as it is so I need to make up for it." She nodded.

"Alright. Well then, promise me you'll say goodnight tonight and won't call me a wimp if I cry." He smiled a bit.

"you always were emotional."

"I'm a girl, what do you expect?" He nodded.

"Well, are you finished?"

"Yes, you?"

"Mmm-hmm. Come on, I have a surprise." Hre paid the bill and took off his tie and then handed it to her. "Use it as a blindfold."

"...you're not gonna kill me, are you?"

"Of course not." She took the tie and tied it around her head and over her eyes.

"OK." He took her hand and led her outside.

"Now, you can peek, but this is only part of the surprise." She lifted up the tie and gasped. It was GORGEOUS motorcycle standing there.

"Y-you got a-" He nodded.

"Alex told me you like them. Now, you need to look when you get on, so do that and hold onto me. When we get close to the place I want to take you to, I'll tell you to pull down the blindfold."

"OK." She got on and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Hold on." (Btw, they are both wearing helmets. Safety first!) He started up the bike and they sped off. She pressed close to him and loved the exhileration of the bike's ability to quickly accelerate.

It was the most amazing ride of her life.

"Seto, you're the best!" she yelled.

"You think I'm the best already? Well I wonder what you'll say when you see the rest of the surprise." She smiled.

"I can't wait!" He grinned and sped up then turned sharply.

They soon slowed down.

"Ok, we're almost there. Put on your blind fold." She did so and he sped up again. It was a bit more frightening when she could not see where they were going, so she pressed even closer. "Don't freak, Kay. You can trust me."

"I know I can."

"Alright. Just don't hug me any tighter or I won't be able to breathe."

"Sorry!"

"It's ok." She loosened her grip and gradually got more comfortable as they drew closer to his surprise.

Soon, he came to a stop.

"Here we are." He took off his helmet and before she could do anything, he picked her up bridal style to get her off the bike and she took off her helmet.

Taking hold of her hand, he led her along the way. She could feel that they were walking on a dirt road. They must be pretty far out of the city.

A wind blew and she smelled salt water. Then he led her out into sand and she could hear the tide. Seto soon let go of her hand and came around behind her then untied the tie.

She opened her eyes and was in awe. They were at a beach, but not the one by Domino. It was beautiful and clearly untouched. There was a small swing for two or three people there, overlooking the water, and some flowers had been planted where the sand ended.

"It's so beautiful..." she whispered. He rested his head against hers and softly kissed her temple.

"I found it a few years ago and whenever I needed time alone I would come here occasionally."

"Wow, first your rose garden and now this."

"I'm a secretive guy."

"Yes, I can tell." She leaned agaisnt him. "But I love that about you." He smiled at her. She felt her heart drop a bit. "Too bad you'll never know how much I love you, Seto...No! No sad thoughts. Don't spoil the night."

They sat on the swing and watched the water. It was nighttime and it was all shadowy and beautiful. The wind was cool and gentle. The moon shone along with the stars.

"Seto?"

"Hm?"

"I just...I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. You...you are the most amazing person I've ever met. And..." He put his fingers on her lips.

"Kay...trust me when I say you've done more for me then you know."

"Like?" she asked. He brushed her bangs from her eyes.

"You'll have to guess."

"Se-" He cut her off with a feather soft kiss. She sighed in defeat. "Alright." He smiled. She cursed the fact that his kisses made her heart melt.

"You know what this night is missing?" Seto asked.

"Dancing?" Kay offered.

"Correct."

"Wow, that was a random guess." He smirked. And I'm gonna use my power as an authoress to have it so he was able to play a CD with slow, romantic songs some...how. He's rich, imagine how he can use his money to be able to do this. X/

She relaxed against him and let him lead her in the slow, dreamy rythym to the music.

"Seto?"

"Yes?"

"Did you ever figure out who you're suppossed to marry?" she asked.

"No, I didn't."

"You don't want to marry anyone, do you?"

"Well...I do like one person and, if I still liked her ten years from now, I'd marry her."

"You mean the mystery girl?"

"Yes."

"Well...if you propose to her before your time to marry the other girl comes, they have to let you out of the contract."

"I guess...except my mystery girl no longer lives in Domino."

"What?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

"Well this sucks! Your mystery girl moved and now I am!" Kay exclaimed, looking very annoyed. Seto gave a small smile, kind of relieved she had not made the connection.

"Yeah..." She sighed. They continued their dance and both felt their hearts ache.



Kay cracked an eye open. It was a pretty late hour. She looked at her cell phone and it was almost three in the morning. She was laying next to Seto on the sand and he was still sleeping.

She tried to remember what happened last night. (MINDS OUT OF GUTTER! They are decent and did nothing bad. And sorry to all who weren't thinking dirty thoughts up til this moment)

She remembered laying next to him in the sand, both tired, and talking.

she remembered a promise they had made, and he had said something to her and she had said something back, but both had been nearly completely asleep.

A sigh escaped her lips. She knew they had to leave. She needed to get her stuff together.

"Seto?" she whispered. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. Her expression was sad. "We should go." It took him a moment to remember, then he sat up and nodded soberly.

"You're right." They rode back to her apartment. He walked up to her room. She was trying so hard not to let any tears fall.

"Well...um...good bye, Seto." He nodded.

"Yeah." She almost left at that, but her heart screamed NO and she turned around and hugged him. He held her and softly stroked her hair comfortingly.

"Promise you won't forget me?" she asked. "Even if you get married?"

"I swear, Kay." She looked up at him and bit her lip. He wiped away a stray tear and she walked away into her apartment and closed the door. Seto walked outside and stood there for a few minutes before finally getting on his motorcycle and driving back to the mansion.

"So...I guess this is it..." he thought.

"I'll probably never see you again..." she thought. Kay slid down to the floor and cried into her knees. Seto got to the mansion and went to his room, ignoring the urious glances of the staff members he woke up. Shutting the door, he collapsed into the sheets.

"Now you'll never understand the way I feel..."
