That night Cat arrived at Seto's mansion in a limo he had provided for her. She stared up at the house amazed by how large it was. 'How does he keep from getting lost in there' she thought jokingly to herself, as she was escorted to the dining room. Mokuba ran up and gave her a hug around the waist. "You came!" he said excitedly as he pulled her by the hand into the hall.

"I want to show you my room." He said as she was dragged down the hall to see. It was a cute little boy's room filled with duel monster posters and cards. There was also an assortment of odds and ends and a few sports memorabilia lying around, along with a few clothes littering the floor. Mokuba ran around his room explaining this and that. When he was done he grabbed Cat's hand and looked up at her. "Can I show you the rest of the house?" Before she could answer, his brother's voice cut through the air.

"I think it's time to eat now." He said.

"But you can show me around all you want after we eat," Cat told the upset Mokuba. Dinner was a nice affair and small conversation was made. After the plates had been cleared the three stood up when a servant walked in.

"Mr. Kiaba, there is a phone call for you on line two." Seto was expecting the call and needed to take it.

"If you will excuse me." Seto said to Cat.

Cat shrugged it off, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure Mokuba will keep me entertained, won't you little guy?" Mokuba nodded energetically as Seto excused himself to take the call. Mokuba showed Cat various rooms through out the mansion until they came to one that sparked her interest. It was a conservatory. A beautifully tiled room that had an entire wall made of glass that looked out over the gardens. In the middle of the room was a grand piano. Cat gasped in awe.

"I didn't know you had a piano." She said to Mokuba gazing at it.

"Yeah," Mokuba said unamused until an idea hit him. "can you play?" he asked her curiously.

Unknown to the two, Seto had followed them after he was done on the phone and was standing in the doorway listening to the conversation.

"Yes," she said. "I used to play all the time on the piano at school." She said. Remembering the hours she had spent learning to play.

"Would you play something for me?" Mokuba asked sweetly.

"I'd love to." She said as he led her to the piano. Cat settled herself down and began to play one of her favorite tunes, The Entertainer. Mokuba clapped exuberantly when she finished and prodded her for an encore. Seto watched slightly amused in the doorway. "Can you play another?" Mokuba asked.

"I can play whatever you would like." She smiled down at him.

Mokuba thought hard until he had thought of the song he wanted her to play. He remembered a song that he heard a lot of the girls at school talking about. It was a pretty song that was on a movie about a boat that sank. Mokuba described the song to her and Cat smiled. It was the Titanic song. Turning to the piano she played the introduction to the song. "Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you, that is how I know…" Cat sang the words to the song. Seto listened intently to her voice as she sang. Her piano playing skills were very impressive, but her voice, it was beautiful. The song ended much too soon, and he found himself wishing that she would keep singing. Mokuba was exciting at her obvious talent.

"That was cool," he praised her. "Could you teach me to play like that?" Cat smiled at his excitement.

"Sure," she said. Seto decided to make his entrance and cleared his throat. "It's time for you to go to bed Mokuba." He said. Mokuba nodded obediently as he scrambled toward his room, but not before he gave Cat another hug and made her promise to come see him again. Cat smiled at him and promised as he ran out the room and down to hall. Cat stood up from the piano as Seto approached her.

"That was very good. I didn't know you played." Seto said indicating the piano.

Cat felt her cheeks grow hot. "I didn't know you were listening." She said.

"You play piano, play Duel Monsters, are a computer genius. What don't you do?" Seto asked curiously.

"Art" Cat joked.

Seto smiled at her joke and subtly changed the subject to fit his purpose. "So who taught you how to play Duel Monsters?"

"My Grandfather, when you're the granddaughter of the owner of a game shop you end up loving the games. He taught me and Yugi how to play."

"Who is the better player between you and your brother?" Seto asked subtly.

"It's pretty much a tie. Yugi wins most of the time when we duel, but I can whip his butt every now and then" She laughed. "that's always fun."

'I bet it is' Seto thought evilly. "How do you beat him?" Seto asked outright. Cat had caught on by now to what he wanted and was playing along. Yugi didn't need her to lie to Seto to win, he could win all by himself. Cat smiled, "By trusting in the heart of the cards." She said.

Seto frowned. 'Drat,' he thought. 'This could be harder than I thought.' Suddenly the clock on the wall chimed eleven. It was late.

"It's late, I probably better go home." Cat said standing up. Seto stood also. "Let me take you home." Seto offered.

Cat shook her head. "I don't want to inconvenience you."

"It's no trouble at all." Seto called the driver and they drove off. Once they were at the game shop Seto walked her to the door.

"I appreciate you taking me home Seto." Cat said with a smile.

"Could I see you tomorrow?" Seto asked. "Mokuba would want you to teach him to play piano like you promised."

"I'll teach Mokuba whenever he wants me to, but I'll will come over tomorrow if that is what you want Seto." Cat said.

"I do." Seto said.

"Then I will meet you after class." She said as she went inside.

Seto sat silently in the back of the limo replaying the conversation in his mind.

"I'll come over if that is what you want Seto"

"I do" Seto thought about it and he realized it wasn't because she was Yugi's sister. It's because he really did want to see her again.
