(*sniff* for the last time...my dearest seto...)

It is really long! and I'm not kidding. This took me well over two hours to write. ^-^ so I hope you like it! enjoy!

~ Part 17 ~

To all things must come to an end so must one love for another. Even though it be for all the right reasons, it is still salt on an open wound.

“So are we ready?” Calla asked
“I’ve got everything.” Danielle replied
“Me too.” Mokuba said.

They left the kitchen where they had put together a picnic lunch. Calla carried the basket while Mokuba carried the blanket. Walking to the front door they saw Seto walking down the stairs. Danielle stopped in mid stride when she saw him. Mokuba (not being able to see where he was going) bumped into her and Calla (no paying attention) bumped into him knocking them all over.

“Ouch! Hey who told who to stop!” Calla said playfully.

The room had gotten quite. Seto finished walking down the stairs and over to the three of them.

“Where are you all going.” He asked
Mokuba piped up, “Danielle is taking us to the fair today, don’t you remember?”

Gathering everything up once more (thank goodness nothing spilled) Mokuba and Calla headed to the door once more.

“Aren’t you coming Danielle?” Calla asked
“I’ll be right there.” She replied and the two left.

Danielle stood there facing Kaiba with her arms crossed. He just had a bored look on his face.

“I suppose you would like to know why she’s here.” He said
“Why yes I would.” Danielle replied.
“She’s an old friend of mine, from my childhood, she was in trouble, so I helped. Anything else you need to know?”
“Yes, but I’ll ask her.” She turned around,
“Yes,” He said, “Yes to what you were going to ask her.”
Without turning around, “You don’t even know what that was.”
“Yes, and the answer is yes. Don’t even try to fool yourself. I know you to well. Have fun.”

With that he turned around. The tears in her eyes Danielle walked outside into the sunlight. It no longer warmed her heart like it once had. Thoughs good feelings were gone. She blinked away her tears and put on a smile as she got to the car. (yes, you can drive Danielle >.< *dodges throw frying pan* O.o;; ok OK I’m done) Mokuba and Calla had already packed the things away and were waiting for her.

“Ready?” Mokuba asked
“Completely.” The thought of blood entered her mind… and would not leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami: ‘My puzzle brings us to the fair.’
Yugi: ‘Than she must be here, somewhere.’
Yami: ‘Yes, lets keep our eyes open. We don’t know what she can do yet.’

They enter the fairgrounds

~~~~~~~~~~~~`

At the ticket stand the three of them were deciding what ride to buy for. There were so many that Mokuba said lets just the wristband for them all. They agreed and bought it. They were having so much fun that Mokuba was the first to remember the food they had brought. They left the fairgrounds and set up the picnic under a tree not to far off.

They had just started eating when Yugi walked up to them. Danielle just frowned at him as he came to a stop in front of them.

“What do you want?” Danielle asked in a tired tone.
“I must speak with Kar- erm, Calla, immediately.” He said
“What for?” Calla asked
“I need to ask you about your past.”

She stopped eating. Setting down her food, she looked up at him. A gaze of pure anger made him take a step back. She stood up towering over him. (hehe thats funny ^-^ *Dodges another frying pan* O.o; done! I’m done! *hides*)

“And what is it you want to ask me?” Calla asked in an ice cold voice.
He tried to stand taller, “About that white light at my home the n-night you spent there”
“What are you talking about?”
“You were the only one up at the time of it happening and it wasn’t a dream. It was to really for a dream. A-and I saw you, in my ancient past…”
She laughed, “Boy you crack me up! Danielle do you believe this wako? Ancient past, what’s up with that?”
“It is nothing to laugh about. I saved the world from destruction. From the destruction you started. So don’t give me that.” ‘You tell her Yami!’
Blinking at him she just shook her head, “I think one of thoughs spikes on your head finally made its way to your brain. Now if you don’t mind.” She sat back down.
“This is a real threat! In time you will remember.”
“Whatever, goodbye” She said in an annoyed tone.
“Just remember, I’m watching you now. You can no longer hide sorceress. May the Essence destroy you.”

With that he walked away. Rubbing her temples Calla couldn’t eat anymore. The other two just kinda sat there watching her. Looking up at them she just shrugged.

“Wanna go on a few more rides before we leave?” She asked
“Sure!” They said together.

Danielle though had other plans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once back at the Kaiba manor they invited Danielle to stay. She accepted and they started talking about all the fun they had had. It had gotten really stormy outside. So Mokuba had asked Danielle to spend the night. She said she would since she had nothing better to do at the time. They went to dinner and Kaiba wasn’t there. The food was great but Calla had barely touched hers. Went asked about it she said she had a headache and couldn’t eat much.

After dinner they went to their separate rooms and got ready for bed. In her own room Calla laid down on the floor of the bathroom on complete pain. Her headache had gone from bad to worse. The throbbing sensation felt like something was trying to get out. ‘Why now?’ Both hands were on her head trying to rub it away. ‘Why does it hurt so much?’ It subsided a little. At least enough to where she could stand again. There was a knock on the door.

Opening it I found Danielle standing there. She looked pissed. She also had her Millenium dagger in her hand.

“Can I help you with something Danielle?” I asked
“Yes you can answer some questions for me.” She said closing the door behind her.
“And what might they be?” I jumped up and sat on the sink counter.
Danielle sat too on the bathtub rim. “What did Yugi mean by what he said?”
“How should I know. I don’t know what he was talking about. I was an orphan. I don’t know how I could have been anything else.”
“Do you have an ancient past?”
“What does that mean?” I was getting annoyed. What the heck was as ancient past.
“No I guess you couldn’t have one. Your not an item holder and the sorceress never died.”
“Huh?”
“You could be one of her offspring though. That’s why she couldn’t keep you. It would have been to dangerous.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your somewhere you shouldn’t be. Your meddling in affairs you have no business meddling in. You’re messing up my destiny.”
“How can I do that?” I had totally lost where she was going with this.
“You being here on this planet has poisoned his mind. He’s supposed to love only me!” She gripped her dagger a little more tightly
“I’m not trying to ruin anything!”
“Stop playing with him already and leave. Your unwelcome here.” She stood up and went to the door, “Oh and if you’re not gone by morning I’ll make sure you are,” She lifted her dagger, “My own way. Goodnight, Calla, daughter of that treacherous sorceress, goodnight.” With that she walked out.

‘Oh I am so tired.’ I thought. My headache had stopped pounding but hadn’t gone away. After awhile I Walked out into the bedroom, feeling dizzy. Laying on the bed I tried to process what she had said. What everyone had said. ‘Sorceress? My mom? But she had died… in that fire… I… saw her burn…’ The tears that burned inside my heart ached to come out. But no matter how hard I tried nothing came. They had dried up that night. Evaporated in the heat, the flames, the pain…

Someone knocked on the door, “Go away! I’m not in the mood.” I said but the door still opened. Sitting up to face the trespasser I just groaned.

“Seto, What the heck are you doing here?” I said completely annoyed now, “I have no patients for you anymore, boy, go away.”
“What did she say to you?” Was all he said.
“Who?”
“Danielle”
“Oh nothing of real importance. Just that you and her are suppose to be together and that sort of thing. Something about threatening to kill me… ah anyway, why do you care?”
He sat on the bed next to me and, taking my hand, said, “Don’t listen to her. I want you to stay.”
Jerking it away, “Yeah well I don’t want to.” He stared at me with a shocked expression, “You heard me, I’m leaving, right now as a matter of fact, so goodbye, Kaiba” I walked toward the door.
He jumped up and blocked my path, “You can’t leave…”

He didn’t have a chance to say anything else. Without even thinking about it, I slapped him. As hard as I could, Knocking him to one side.

“She needs you more than I and you love her. I see it in your eyes when you look at her. I am your past, She is your future, and you can’t mix the two. I won’t say it again, goodbye.”

I walked to the door without looking back. This time he didn’t try to stop me. I hurried down the backstairs and out the kitchen door.

~~~~~~~~

Seto hadn’t moved from where she hit him. Danielle walked into the room. Leaning against the door opening, she looked at him. Finally she walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He took it into his and turned toward her.

“Danielle, I…” She placed her finger over his mouth to quite him. She wrapped her hand around his neck to show her understanding. He then leaned in and gave her a deep and long kiss… for forgiveness without words…

(I'm really bad with love sences sorry ^^;;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night rain had stopped. The pounding in her head had become unbearable…

‘It is time my child… AWAKEN!’

The night turned to day and the warmth enveloped me.

‘To be one…’

Before I passed out my last thought was of the life I left behind…

of Seto…

goodbye…
