Chapter 1- Heartbreaking Memories
*Kaiba Corp. 4.37pm*
Battle City was over. His own tournament was over and so were his chances of obtaining the Egyptian God cards. Seto Kaiba SHOULD be upset about that and throwing a hairy fit but that wasn't what got to him about Battle City, no, his mind was on one of the finalist's that he hadn't expected to see.
His mind was on Sara Pegasus. That is right PEGASUS, as in Maxamillion and Cecelia Pegasus' daughter and his former best friend.
Many people expected Sara to be more like Pegasus because she was such a daddy's girl but she wasn't arrogant about her good fortune or her place in society. Sara was more quiet and charitable like her mother. She looked like her mother too with long golden blonde hair and her body shape but she had Pegasus’ eyes and skin colour. She also had her father’s height, not to say she was as tall as Pegasus and Kaiba but she was only a few inches shorter, maybe 5”8 or 5”7. Overall, she was perfect from her personality to her looks and to think if Seto Kaiba hadn’t listened to his Stepfather and tuned out his emotion's, he and Sara may still be friends or more.
"Mr. Kaiba, sir" Seto was brought from his musing's at the sound of his secretary’s voice over the intercom and sighed before answering,
"What is it?” He could hear the wince his secretary made at his cold tone and it made him wince in turn as more thought's of Sara doing the same entered his mind,
"Well... Uh Mr. Pegasus is her to see you sir and he is very determined. What Shall I do?” Kaiba had been expecting this since Battle City ended but still...
"Send him in." Kaiba waited a few seconds before his door opened and a very serious Pegasus entered, which alone spelled trouble for him. Kaiba watched as Pegasus made his way over to his desk and sat before it,
"Kaiba, You know why I'm here don't you?" he nodded at this before Pegasus continued,
"Well then know use beating around the bush then; Sara is the last part of my wife that I have left and now for the second time her association with you has almost cost her life." at this Seto did wince, the memory of the first time now surfacing to his mind,
"Ah I see you recall the first time Kaiba well good now I know I don't have to remind you. Anyway, I realize that your Stepfather capturing you was not your fault but someone still has to be held accountable so this is what is going to happen. You, Seto Kaiba and your brother will come to my castle tomorrow and give a formal apology to both my daughter and myself as well as compensation for her second almost death experience due to your carelessness; do we understand Kaiba ?" Seto was shocked at Pegasus' request and had every intention of telling him that other people nearly lost their lives but he had a feeling that Pegasus was including his first folly with Sara too so he sighed and nodded in acceptance.
"Good. Now you will be at my castle tomorrow at noon with your brother and for once Kaiba wear something respectable. Goodbye Kaiba-Boy" and with that Pegasus was gone, leaving Seto once again to his thought's.
'I'm going to see Sara tomorrow and this time she'll have to talk to me; maybe then I can show her how sorry I am' he thought hopeful that Sara would talk to him. Everyone thought that Seto was always cold and heartless; truth was he still wasn't like that, he just hid his emotions so people wouldn't get close to him and if people didn't get close to him... he couldn't hurt them.
A smile formed on his lips as he thought about the first day he met Sara. Seto’s Stepfather had decided that he had to go to a school because a good businessman worked well with other people so Gozabouro chose a very expensive school in Domino and the day he had to go look at the place and register his Stepson, he had Seto tag along.
*Flashback*
Seto didn't want to be here, it was bad enough that he had to attend this school but did he really have to be here looking around with his Step-Father,
"Seto, I'm going to get you paperwork done so go and look around some more and meet me back at the limo, understand?”
"Yes" 'Well at least I get to be away from him for a while' a smile came to Seto as he started walking down the music block and that's when he heard it, someone was playing a piano and it was beautiful, he followed the sound to an a small room and saw a blonde girl playing the piano. The whole room was empty apart from the girl and Seto was glad that he could have a proper listen to the soothing melody she was playing. The door to the room was open a crack so he stepped inside and stood but the girl caught the movement out of the corner of her eye and stopped playing to turn and look at him and Seto gasped at her bright brown, honey gold eyes,
"Uhh sorry I didn't mean to intrude, it's just... I mean… your playing was amazing and..." he was nervous under her stare and now her smile, she was beautiful.
"No, its okay I'm glad you like my music, not many people do apart form my father. Would you like to join me...?”
"Seto”
"Seto... that's a nice name. Please come and join me and my name's Sara by the way" Seto blushed at the complement to him name and walked over to sit beside her on the piano's seat, when he was comfortable she began playing from where she left off and Seto found himself relaxing in her company. When she finished her song Seto was relaxed, content and watching her,
"So Seto will you be coming to this school?” He watched as she turned to face him still smiling and eyes shining at him,
"Yes, my Stepfather is working on the paper work now." he watched her smile widen
"Good, it would be nice if we could be friends. I like you, you seen very pure hearted." his blush came back with a vengeance,
"Yeah, it would be good to know someone here and I... uh like you too." she giggled at his nervousness and he smiled. They spent the next half and hour talking and getting to know each other and what he found out blew his mind; her father was the creator of Duel Monsters, Maxamillion Pegasus. She was also the same age as Seto (13), he also found out that she played many of other instruments as well as sang and was an artist like her father. Seto told her about how he was an orphan and his little brother Mokuba; in fact he told her everything and what baffled him was that he didn't know why,
"Wow, how can someone as sweet as you have such a hard life, Seto. Hey wait a minute." He watched as she as she stood and walked over to her bag and pulled something out, she held whatever she had behind her back and the she took his hand in hers and placed a duel monsters card face down in his palm,
"What's this Sara?" he asked whilst praying that she wouldn't let go of his hand but she did and he immediately missed the warmth,
"A surprise and don't look till I've gone Seto, okay?" in his panic, he blurted out...
"Where are you going?!?" she giggled again before replying
"I have to get to class silly." she grabbed her stuff and approached him again before giving him a kiss on the cheek and running out shouting,
"Bye Seto"
As soon as she as gone his heart sunk but then he remembered the card and turned it over to reveal... a Blue Eyes White Dragon!! in addition, a piece of paper was wrapped around it with her phone number on it. He smiled all the way back to the limo and kept smiling until he got home.
*End Flashback*
He had never forgotten that day, mostly because he had a constant reminder in his life with the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Once again he winced, he had been so stupid, after the 'incident' he had gone out and won himself the other two Blue Eyes' that inhabited his deck and if he had know that Yugi's grandpa owned the forth he would have went after that one then as well. Now he couldn't tell which one was the gift from Sara. That Blue Eyes was something special she gave to him; it was supposed to be anyway and he just disregarded as nothing more than an advantage to his power. Seto stood up from behind his desk and walked over to the window to look out at the darkening sky as more memories flooded thoughts. He could remember his shock on his first day at that school when he found out that Sara was in most of his classes. Seto could always remember how she always stuck by him and comforted him when he needed it the most, he remembered her smile, her laugh, her presence but then again he could also remember her tears and cries of pain.
Seto and Sara had been friends for almost two years when he gained control of Kaiba Corp. and of course, his first impulse was to tell his best friend all about it. Gozabouro knew this and just before he disappeared he left Seto with some parting advice, he told Seto that weakness is what would lose him his newly acquired company and that he was already starting to show signs of weakness and he blamed it on Sara and Seto of course after thinking about it decided that he was right. He was too kind and open in front of her, he simply cared too much about her, and that caused weakness. Seto tried to stop his thoughts as they were leading him a memory he simply wished to forget about but it was not to be as the memory kept coming. After his Stepfathers advice, Seto had come to the conclusion that he had to end his association with Sara because it was 'Bad for business' so he did the one thing he swore he wouldn't do to her... he broke her heart and walked away.
*Flashback*
"Seto why are you being so cruel?" tears were pouring down Sara's face, Seto had said horrible, scornful thing's to her, calling her thing's like 'an attention seeking whore' among worse thing's,
"I'm not. I am simply telling you the truth Sara. I don't want you hanging around me like some leech any more because I.Don't.Like.You. In fact Sara, I hate your guts so stay away from me." Seto's heart was breaking at the sight of Sara, she was shivering in pain and her eyes were red, puffy and pouring out tears; he really didn't mean the thing's he said but he had a company to protect as well as his brother so it had to be this way,
"Bye Sara" this was the hardest thing he had ever done, walking away from her when all he wanted to do was hold her and tells her he didn't mean but he couldn't. After he was sure she wasn't following, he made his way to the boy's bathroom and cried silently, he didn't know why this hurt so much but it did. Although, he was glad that no one saw him and Sara 'break-up' so to speak because a lot of the other kids hated him and her for hanging around with him, many a time he had to fight off people who tried to harm her so he was glad they were alone during his verbal abuse of her.
*End Flashback*
He was so sure that know one had saw them... but he was wrong. The 'break-up' happened during lunch and he didn't see Sara in the rest of his classes, he had assumed it was because she was upset and that had made him feel ten times worse... but he was really wrong and he didn't find out how wrong he was until after school.
*Flashback*
He felt awful, no one had saw Sara since lunch and it was his fault,
'She must be really hurting if she missed class... and its all my fault' tears once again began to prick his eyes but he swallowed it down and kept walking to the car park were his limo was waiting for him. On his way he noticed a group of boys kicking the crap out of someone, usually he would go over and help the poor victims but this time he just stood and watched. Briefly, he saw a glimpse of the person who was being
Beaten and saw brown eye's lock on to him and widen before they were covered from his view. He had a nagging feeling that he knew those eyes but he couldn't place them.
One of the boy's finally caught sight of him and told the other's to look over. He recognized them as some of the guy’s who had tried to beat him and Sara up, but still thought nothing of it until they all started laughing evilly at him before revealing who they had beaten by running away to the car park and his eyes widened. It was Sara!!!.
Seto ran over to her to see if she was okay but the closer he got the more he feared for her life; there was blood all over and around her, her hair was stained by the blood and dirt of the ground, bruises started to form over her body as well as cuts and gashes. The worst part was... she wasn't breathing.
"SARA!! SARA!! WAKE UP PLEASE!!" tears ran down his face as he called out to her. He screamed at her to just open her eyes but she still didn't move so he screamed for help instead, eventually a teacher came running out and told him to stay with her while he got some help; it didn't matter he was going nowhere. The school nurse came out after calling an ambulance and preformed CPR on Sara and eventually she started breathing again but still did not open her eyes. Seto's driver came looking for him and when he found his young master came over to help too.
Seto was crying and screaming for her to wake up and his driver, Roland had to hold him back from jumping on top of the barely breathing girl. When the ambulance arrived Seto insisted on going with her but Roland held still held him back and a Teacher got in instead,
"Don't worry sir, she'll be fine and as soon as we know the situation we'll got to the hospital to see her, okay?” Seto fell limply in his drivers grip and just started after the ambulance in horror. He just stood by and watched as the one person in this world who loved him for him (apart from him brother) was almost beaten to death and it was all his fault.
"Sara..." he whispered as he passed out from worry.
*End Flashback*
Seto Kaiba. The great Kaiba Corp. CEO stood by and watched as his best friend was beaten and did nothing about it. How he loathed himself after that. When he woke from passing out, the first thing he noticed was he was in his own room and still covered in Sara's blood, that memory alone gave him nightmares. You would think that seeing her almost dead would scar him for life but it wasn't, his worst nightmare came true the last time her saw her before Battle City...
*Flashback*
Seto hadn't slept since he woke up from passing out, he was so worried about Sara that he just sat by the phone with the news on T.V. Mokuba had kept clear of him and he wondered why until Roland came in with some food and told him that Mokuba knew what happened and was not wanting to upset him.
"Have you heard anything Roland?” Seto just picked at the food, his appetite not surfacing,
"No, but the school assured me they would contact us with an update. Sir if you don't mind me asking but what happened to the poor girl, she was destroyed?” Seto felt sick, and tears started forming in his eye's, how sad fifteen years of age and he was breaking down,
"It was my entire fault. I told her I didn't want to see her anymore... called her horrible thing's... broke her heart and walked away. Then I stood by and watched he get beaten by those boy's but...but I...didn't know it was her...Roland...if I knew…” he couldn't finish he just broke down and cried, it was that time that the phone chose to ring. Seeing Seto's distress Roland left the room and accepted the phone call. When he returned, he told Seto the news.
"Sir that was you school calling about Sara... (Seto looks up) she has suffered a full set of broken ribs, some internal bleeding, a concussion and a broken arm but that's not really what's stopping her from breathing properly...her broken ribs have pierced her left lung and she is going to be operated on but I was told that we can go to the hospital tomorrow if you wish." Seto's breakdown and self-pity stopped during Roland’s speech, she really was destroyed and he cause it... but still he had to see her... she was everything to him.
"We'll go up tomorrow afternoon Roland. Give her time to wake from her operation." Roland nodded before leaving Seto alone.
*The Next Day*
Seto was very anxious about seeing Sara and he could only hope that she forgave him but...
"We're here sir." Seto made his way alone to the floor where Sara was and knew he was on the right track when he saw Pegasus sitting in a chair outside her room clearly worried, until he caught sight of Seto then fury replaced his concern and he stalked over to Seto,
"How dare you show your face here, boy. How dare after what you've done." Seto was shocked, did Pegasus think he was the one to beat her up... no he would never,
"Why do you look so confused? Ahh you must think that I believe you put her in that condition. Well in a way you did I suppose but that is not what I am talking about. I’m talking about the way you treated her before all this happened, calling my daughter a 'whore' and then you just stood by and watched as she was almost killed... you disgust me boy. Just get out and don’t come near my daughter again.” with that Pegasus went into Sara’s room and left a very distraught Seto there,
'How did he know? Did Sara tell him? She must have it's the only explanation plausible' Seto turned away and began walking away but stopped,
"No. I'm not leaving before I see her." so Seto hid nearby and waited for Pegasus to leave before he quietly slipped into Sara's room and what he saw made him sick. Sara was hooked up to several machines, she was black and blue all over, covered in bandages and cast's he was so concentrated on her suffering that he didn't notice her looking at him until she spoke,
"Why are you here?” Seto jumped, her usually soothing voice was hoarse and quite and sounded terrified,
"Please... I just wanted to see you... I was so scared when you didn't wake up... I am so sorry Sara... If I had known it was you they were…”
"What do you mean 'If you had known it was me'? I saw you Seto, you stood and watched the whole thing and did nothing... I looked you in the eye begging silently for your help and you just watched... Just get out Seto I don't want to see you again." She turned away from him crying and Seto walked over to her, she didn't even look at him.
"I'm sorry. Please you have to believe me, if I HAD known it was you I would have saved you… You my best friend Sara, I would do anything for you... Please forgive me... Please..." the last part he whispered as his emotions took over and he leaned over and brushed his lip's across her cheek gently so he wouldn’t hurt her but she just pulled away further,
"No. I don't believe you and I don't forgive you because I am just an 'attention seeking whore' remember, I am nothing to you and you hate my battered guts so just go away and never come near me again Seto. I hate you." she had said 'it'. She hated him. He pushed her away and left her to the wolves and now she hated him. Seto backed away shaking his head as tears freely made their way down his face before running out of the room and back down to his limo crying all the way...
*End Flashback*
Seto by this point had sat back in his chair, head in his hands, shivering along with his sobs of anguish and pain as he recalled the worst day of his life. He was so happy when he saw her walk into that area where his Kaiba Corp. blimp was going to land at Battle City but when she just ignored him, his heart broke all over again. She never broke breath to him the whole time, even when Noah and Gozabouro Kaiba captured them did she speak to him, no, she just kept silent and refused to look at him. His sobs got louder and he was surprised to find that no one had heard him yet.
"Tomorrow I will finally put thing's right. Thank you Pegasus, thank you for this chance." he said once he calmed down.
By the time he had finished remembering and crying it was late and he had to get home and get some sleep... he didn't want to look tired tomorrow, he was finally getting his chance and he was not going to blow it. With one last look to his office, he left Kaiba Corp. and made his way home.

Chapter 1- Heartbreaking Memories
*Kaiba Corp. 4.37pm*
Battle City was over. His own tournament was over and so were his chances of obtaining the Egyptian God cards. Seto Kaiba SHOULD be upset about that and throwing a hairy fit but that wasn't what got to him about Battle City, no, his mind was on one of the finalist's that he hadn't expected to see.

"What is it?” He could hear the wince his secretary made at his cold tone and it made him wince in turn as more thought's of Sara doing the same entered his mind,
"Well... Uh Mr. Pegasus is her to see you sir and he is very determined. What Shall I do?” Kaiba had been expecting this since Battle City ended but still...
"Send him in." Kaiba waited a few seconds before his door opened and a very serious Pegasus entered, which alone spelled trouble for him. Kaiba watched as Pegasus made his way over to his desk and sat before it,
"Kaiba, You know why I'm here don't you?" he nodded at this before Pegasus continued,
"Well then know use beating around the bush then; Sara is the last part of my wife that I have left and now for the second time her association with you has almost cost her life." at this Seto did wince, the memory of the first time now surfacing to his mind,
"Ah I see you recall the first time Kaiba well good now I know I don't have to remind you. Anyway, I realize that your Stepfather capturing you was not your fault but someone still has to be held accountable so this is what is going to happen. You, Seto Kaiba and your brother will come to my castle tomorrow and give a formal apology to both my daughter and myself as well as compensation for her second almost death experience due to your carelessness; do we understand Kaiba ?" Seto was shocked at Pegasus' request and had every intention of telling him that other people nearly lost their lives but he had a feeling that Pegasus was including his first folly with Sara too so he sighed and nodded in acceptance.
"Good. Now you will be at my castle tomorrow at noon with your brother and for once Kaiba wear something respectable. Goodbye Kaiba-Boy" and with that Pegasus was gone, leaving Seto once again to his thought's.
'I'm going to see Sara tomorrow and this time she'll have to talk to me; maybe then I can show her how sorry I am' he thought hopeful that Sara would talk to him. Everyone thought that Seto was always cold and heartless; truth was he still wasn't like that, he just hid his emotions so people wouldn't get close to him and if people didn't get close to him... he couldn't hurt them.
A smile formed on his lips as he thought about the first day he met Sara.

"I'm not. I am simply telling you the truth Sara. I don't want you hanging around me like some leech any more because I.Don't.Like.You. In fact Sara, I hate your guts so stay away from me."

The 'break-up' happened during lunch and he didn't see Sara in the rest of his classes, he had assumed it was because she was upset and that had made him feel ten times worse... but he was really wrong and he didn't find out how wrong he was until after school.
*Flashback*
He felt awful, no one had saw Sara since lunch and it was his fault,
'She must be really hurting if she missed class... and its all my fault' tears once again began to prick his eyes but he swallowed it down and kept walking to the car park were his limo was waiting for him. On his way he noticed a group of boys kicking the crap out of someone, usually he would go over and help the poor victims but this time he just stood and watched. Briefly, he saw a glimpse of the person who was being
Beaten and saw brown eye's lock on to him and widen before they were covered from his view. He had a nagging feeling that he knew those eyes but he couldn't place them.
One of the boy's finally caught sight of him and told the other's to look over. He recognized them as some of the guy’s who had tried to beat him and Sara up, but still thought nothing of it until they all started laughing evilly at him before revealing who they had beaten by running away to the car park and his eyes widened. It was Sara!!!.
Seto ran over to her to see if she was okay but the closer he got the more he feared for her life; there was blood all over and around her, her hair was stained by the blood and dirt of the ground, bruises started to form over her body as well as cuts and gashes. The worst part was... she wasn't breathing.
"SARA!! SARA!! WAKE UP PLEASE!!" tears ran down his face as he called out to her. He screamed at her to just open her eyes but she still didn't move so he screamed for help instead, eventually a teacher came running out and told him to stay with her while he got some help; it didn't matter he was going nowhere. The school nurse came out after calling an ambulance and preformed CPR on Sara and eventually she started breathing again but still did not open her eyes. Seto's driver came looking for him and when he found his young master came over to help too.
Seto was crying and screaming for her to wake up and his driver, Roland had to hold him back from jumping on top of the barely breathing girl. When the ambulance arrived Seto insisted on going with her but Roland held still held him back and a Teacher got in instead,
"Don't worry sir, she'll be fine and as soon as we know the situation we'll got to the hospital to see her, okay?” Seto fell limply in his drivers grip and just started after the ambulance in horror. He just stood by and watched as the one person in this world who loved him for him (apart from him brother) was almost beaten to death and it was all his fault.
"Sara..." he whispered as he passed out from worry.
*End Flashback*
Seto Kaiba. The great Kaiba Corp. CEO stood by and watched as his best friend was beaten and did nothing about it. How he loathed himself after that. When he woke from passing out, the first thing he noticed was he was in his own room and still covered in Sara's blood, that memory alone gave him nightmares. You would think that seeing her almost dead would scar him for life but it wasn't, his worst nightmare came true the last time her saw her before Battle City...
*Flashback*
Seto hadn't slept since he woke up from passing out, he was so worried about Sara that he just sat by the phone with the news on T.V. Mokuba had kept clear of him and he wondered why until Roland came in with some food and told him that Mokuba knew what happened and was not wanting to upset him.
"Have you heard anything Roland?” Seto just picked at the food, his appetite not surfacing,
"No, but the school assured me they would contact us with an update. Sir if you don't mind me asking but what happened to the poor girl, she was destroyed?” Seto felt sick, and tears started forming in his eye's, how sad fifteen years of age and he was breaking down,
"It was my entire fault. I told her I didn't want to see her anymore... called her horrible thing's... broke her heart and walked away. Then I stood by and watched he get beaten by those boy's but...but I...didn't know it was her...Roland...if I knew…” he couldn't finish he just broke down and cried, it was that time that the phone chose to ring. Seeing Seto's distress Roland left the room and accepted the phone call. When he returned, he told Seto the news.
"Sir that was you school calling about Sara... (Seto looks up) she has suffered a full set of broken ribs, some internal bleeding, a concussion and a broken arm but that's not really what's stopping her from breathing properly...her broken ribs have pierced her left lung and she is going to be operated on but I was told that we can go to the hospital tomorrow if you wish." Seto's breakdown and self-pity stopped during Roland’s speech, she really was destroyed and he cause it... but still he had to see her... she was everything to him.
"We'll go up tomorrow afternoon Roland. Give her time to wake from her operation." Roland nodded before leaving Seto alone.
*The Next Day*
Seto was very anxious about seeing Sara and he could only hope that she forgave him but...
"We're here sir." Seto made his way alone to the floor where Sara was and knew he was on the right track when he saw Pegasus sitting in a chair outside her room clearly worried, until he caught sight of Seto then fury replaced his concern and he stalked over to Seto,
"How dare you show your face here, boy. How dare after what you've done." Seto was shocked, did Pegasus think he was the one to beat her up... no he would never,
"Why do you look so confused? Ahh you must think that I believe you put her in that condition. Well in a way you did I suppose but that is not what I am talking about. I’m talking about the way you treated her before all this happened, calling my daughter a 'whore' and then you just stood by and watched as she was almost killed... you disgust me boy. Just get out and don’t come near my daughter again.” with that Pegasus went into Sara’s room and left a very distraught Seto there,
'How did he know? Did Sara tell him? She must have it's the only explanation plausible' Seto turned away and began walking away but stopped,
"No. I'm not leaving before I see her." so Seto hid nearby and waited for Pegasus to leave before he quietly slipped into Sara's room and what he saw made him sick. Sara was hooked up to several machines, she was black and blue all over, covered in bandages and cast's he was so concentrated on her suffering that he didn't notice her looking at him until she spoke,
"Why are you here?” Seto jumped, her usually soothing voice was hoarse and quite and sounded terrified,
"Please... I just wanted to see you... I was so scared when you didn't wake up... I am so sorry Sara... If I had known it was you they were…”
"What do you mean 'If you had known it was me'? I saw you Seto, you stood and watched the whole thing and did nothing... I looked you in the eye begging silently for your help and you just watched... Just get out Seto I don't want to see you again." She turned away from him crying and Seto walked over to her, she didn't even look at him.
"I'm sorry. Please you have to believe me, if I HAD known it was you I would have saved you… You my best friend Sara, I would do anything for you... Please forgive me... Please..." the last part he whispered as his emotions took over and he leaned over and brushed his lip's across her cheek gently so he wouldn’t hurt her but she just pulled away further,
"No. I don't believe you and I don't forgive you because I am just an 'attention seeking whore' remember, I am nothing to you and you hate my battered guts so just go away and never come near me again Seto. I hate you." she had said 'it'. She hated him. He pushed her away and left her to the wolves and now she hated him. Seto backed away shaking his head as tears freely made their way down his face before running out of the room and back down to his limo crying all the way...
*End Flashback*
Seto by this point had sat back in his chair, head in his hands, shivering along with his sobs of anguish and pain as he recalled the worst day of his life. He was so happy when he saw her walk into that area where his Kaiba Corp. blimp was going to land at Battle City but when she just ignored him, his heart broke all over again. She never broke breath to him the whole time, even when Noah and Gozabouro Kaiba captured them did she speak to him, no, she just kept silent and refused to look at him. His sobs got louder and he was surprised to find that no one had heard him yet.
"Tomorrow I will finally put thing's right. Thank you Pegasus, thank you for this chance." he said once he calmed down.
By the time he had finished remembering and crying it was late and he had to get home and get some sleep... he didn't want to look tired tomorrow, he was finally getting his chance and he was not going to blow it. With one last look to his office, he left Kaiba Corp. and made his way home.
