~ Part 15 ~


~~~~~~~~~~

oppressed, dear one, are thy feelings of old. To live aknew they must first remember...

Dinner was a little... oh how shall I put this... odd. When I tryed to make conversation, (directed at Kaiba), he wouldn't say anything and Mokuba would respond instead. I think he might still be mad at me from the run in we had before. I'm still kinda shocked by it all, but, it was so long ago... and we've grown in two totaly separate lives...

I looked up, "I'm sorry what did you say?"
"I said, the project you and seto worked on, got an A+. Isn't that cool!" Mokuba said
"Yeah very, to bad I didn't get to see it put together."

I didn't look at Kaiba because I knew he wasn't going to say anything. I just sighed and backed away from the table saying I was tired.

"Alright then, I'll see ya in the morning Calla!" Mokuba said

I just smiled and took my leave of them. The hallway was well lit but was so gloomy. My head was starting to pound. 'It must have been all the talking I did today,' I concluded. Opening the door to my room, I found a clean pair of night clothes ready for me. 'I have to get out of here soon. I can't stand someone else picking up after me.' I picked them up and went into the bathroom. 'Fresh towels and soap?' I just grumbled. I slipped into the shower, realizing I had such sore joints. The hot water was heaven against them.

I found some books at the side of my bed when I returned to the room. I just shook my head and sat on the bed. Picking one up, I opened it to the first page and started reading.

"You can come out now. I know your there." I said.

Seto stepped out from corner. Walking over to me I stood up.

"You don't really think that trick will work on me again? You tryed it when we were younger adn even then it didn't work." I just crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Well you havn't changed a bit have you?" He finnaly said
"That depends what you mean by changed. If in age and apperence than yes I have. In nature, well I wouldn't know. I've known myself to long." He just smiled, "So what do you want?"
After another long pause he said, "Do you remember, when we were kids? You'd always give good advise when anyone felt down. even me, though I never lisened..."
"So what do you want? Pity? You ignored me when you left! I said I'd never forgive you if you didn't write and you didn't. So if thats all..." I turned my back to him.

It was silent for a long time and I thought he had left. But then I heard this little sound. Almost like a soft wind through your hair. Except it was a sad aound. I turned back around and I saw tears streaming down his face.

"Seto..." I started to say.

He just turned around. I was mordified. He confused me ever second, even when we were young.... One of his hands went to his noise like he was surpressing a sneese. I walked up to him and, placing my hand on his shoulder, he started to shake. I gently turned him around and he fell into my arms. (which is more just like on his knees for me >.< *Danielle points dagger at my throught* O.o;; ok I get the point, geeze.)

I don't know if it was because he had been surpressing it for so long but he just wrapped his arms around me and cryed. Not the loud kind just the silent big tears of a small child. I comforted him as best I could. Running my hand threw his hair to calm him and my other up and down his back to comport him. After awhile I guess he stopped because he was no longer shaking, just laying against me. He leaned back and I took the sleave of my nightgown and brushed away his tears. His blue eyes were like reflecting pools, right then. All the anguish of his many years, had lifted from them, for this moment, making his eyes so clear and beautiful. I bit my lower lip when he rested his right hand on my face. He started to lean in and I panicked. I had both my hands against his chest, but they wouldn't move. As he leaning in they just leaned as well. My heart skipped a beat as he was a breath away from me.

"no..."

My voice was just a horse whisper but he stopped. Instead he just gave my a hug.

"thank you" he whispered in my ear.

My mind had gone numb, all I could think of was to hug him back. With my face burried in his shirt we stayed like that for a few seconds. Then he pulled away. My arms fell to my side and my eyes glued themselves to the floor. He stood there a moment longer, than left. It was like my brain had come out of deep freeze. 'What?!!' Was all I could form at first. finaly I was able again to think in sentences. 'What the hell was that Calla! He was about to kiss you and you said No?' I hit myself in the head and fell to the bed, mourning my stupidity.

There was a knock on the door. I said come in and in walks Mokuba. I sit up and smiled at him. I noticed it had started raining and thundering. He was apperantly scarred so I waved him over.

"C-Can I stay with you tonight? I feel better when I'm around you. I don't think something at dinner agreed with me." He said
"Of course, come lay by me." I replyed

He jumped up into the bed and I picked up another book from the nightstand. I started to read to him, through the storm. A story about a young maiden and a boy. Whose love was never ment to be...
