I get a feelin' I can't explain

Whenever your eyes meet mine

Heart spins in circles

And I lose all space and time

And now that we're standing face to face

Something tells me it's gonna be OK

Th e limo pulled up to a darkened building, and opened the door for Seto and Pernia.

"Where are we?" asked Pernia as Seto helped her out of the limo.

"I used to come here when I was younger and I continued to come here throughout High School," said Seto. "It helped calm me down and it made me feel at peace."

"If you felt that way about it then why did you bring me here?" asked Pernia as they walked into the darkened building.

"To be perfectly honest I don't really know," admitted Seto. "I haven't even brought Mokuba here."

"Oh really?" asked Pernia turning to stare at him as they descended a flight of stairs in the dark. "You must have come here a lot at night if you can find your way around here in the dark."

"I came here mainly at night so I could be alone," said Seto stopping and putting an arm around her.

"Seto-san," said Pernia surprised. "What are you doing?"

_____________________________________________________________ Blue lights from an aquarium came on and cast a blue haze around the room. The aquarium wrapped around the room and acted has a ceiling the only part of the room not covered by the tank were two doors on opposite sides of the room. The tank was filled with exotic fish, eels, and sharks it had been made to look like the bottom of the ocean floor and the coral added a colorful rainbow of greens, pinks, purples, and reds along with the blue.

"You used to come to an aquarium?" asked Pernia after a moment of looking around the room.

"I found it very soothing when things got too hectic at work," said Seto as waltz music drifted into the room and he began to lead her in a waltz around the room.

The two of them danced around the room spinning in slow circles the lights and colors giving off a dream like feel that left them feeling like they were floating on air. The two didn't notice that they were being watched by the man that owned the Aquarium and the limo driver.

I know you've been watching

Choosing your moment

I've been dreamin' of that day

No one before you has gotten to me this way

And now that we're standing face to face

There's something that I need to say

" It's good to see that he final found someone worthy of him," said the owner.

"Hai," agreed the limo driver. "And Mokuba-san really seems to like her."

"That is an improvement over his feelings towards Nikushimi and what does Mizu-san think about her?"

"She is still in one piece and Seto-sama hasn't had to replace anything since the girl came along."

"Definate improvement then."

"Hai," agreed the other male.

"How long do you think it will last?" asked owner.

"I have a feeling it will last forever," said the limo driver.

"So do I."

"Here's to forever," said the limo driver.

"To forever," agreed owner.

_____________________________________________________________ Seto and Pernia continued to dance around the room oblivious to what was going on around them. They seemed to have eyes only for each other and no one seemed to want to stop them from falling in love not that there was anyone around that would. Seto span her around the floor and allowed her to spin out from him before spinning her back into his arms, holding her tighter every time.

She lay her head down on his shoulder and took in his scent it was strong and woodsy. She closed her eyes and let him lead her moving by feeling whenever he moved. The two of them moved about the room in perfect unison. She couldn't help but feel safe within Seto's arms it was almost as if she belonged in them. Seto rested his check on the top of her head, his eyes took in her scent and he smiled it was so her. Her scent smelled like Egypt and it made him feel even closer to her. He smiled and felt his heart beat faster as she danced closer against him. He licked his lips and swallowed against a dry throat.

Pe rnia could hear his heart start to beat wildly when she accidentally rubbed up against him. She looked up at him and saw him slowly lick his lips; he didn't seem to notice her looking at him. She watched him swallow and wondered what was going on with him. He didn't seem to be acting like his normal self and she wondered if he was starting to feel strange by bringing her here.

"Is something wrong Seto-san?" she asked.

"No," said Seto. "Why do you ask?"

"You just seem distracted is all."

"Oh well don't worry about it," whispered Seto in her ear when she lowered her head again.

His hand slide lower down on her back to just above the buttocks, and Pernia blushed slightly upon feeling his hands so low on her body. Her head jerked up as they spun around the dance floor again and Seto dipped her. Their lips came within inches of each other before the spell finally broke.

"We shouldn't be doing this," said Pernia softly.

"You're right," said Seto after a moment and pulling her back up. "We have to get back to the mansion."

Pernia nodded and the two of them left the aquarium feeling uneasy about the almost kiss they nearly shared.
