Disclaimer: *glares* I thought you'd guys'd know by now; I do not own YuGiOu, or the song "Nowhere Near". They belong to Kazuki Takahashi and Summer camp. I only own the fic, Setsuna Seigyoku and nothing more. Plus my infatuation with Ishtar-sama *starry eyes*
********************
I don't want to waste your time, make you hang around thinking you've done wrong
You can only wait for me for so long
So I'm out of here 'cause I know I'm nowhere near
What you want, what you want, what you're looking for……
~ Summer camp - Nowhere Near

"So I hear you're leaving, Ishtar."
Yami Marik, or Ishtar as he was known, turned around, blinking. Setsuna stood behind him, hands folded in front of her nether regions, the autumn wind swirling in the short bleach-lavender locks and twisting around the Domino High uniform skirt, the Millennium Scales nowhere in sight.
The spirit sighed and ran a hand through his spiky blonde hair, leaning against his motorcycle on his hands. "I have no future here, not after what I did in Battle City. You've seen the way they act in my presence, Setsuna, no one would miss me."
"I would," she whispered, startling Ishtar slightly. "And so would Marik and Bakura. You know that hikari and yami cannot survive without the other by their side." Ishtar shook his head, shifting the large pack from his back to the bike, strapping it on. "I don't want to keep holding you three back anymore. Marik deserves a normal life after what I put him through and Bakura needs to spend time with his hikari instead of with me."
Setsuna smiled, brushing a lavender lock away from her ruby gaze. "You're thoughtful but won't you be lonely?" He shrugged, returning her smile. "I'm used to solitude."
She shook her head. "Nobody should be alone, Ishtar, I'll come with you. Besides, break's coming up in a couple of days and I need something to do rather than listen to Shaadi-sama's item lectures." Setsuna waved a hand, the school uniform changing to an outfit that was a combination of modern and ancient clothing. A green denim jacket covered what looked like an ice-blue bikini piece, from the waist down to the ankles was a tan skirt with a blue line near the bottom and feet adorned in combat boots with two-inch heels. Her lavender hair was up in a hedgehog ponytail and hands covered by fingerless leather gloves.
Ishtar's smile became a smirk as he climbed onto his cycle and looked back at her. "Fine then but don't blame me if he gets pissed off." Setsuna laughed, climbing on behind him with both her legs on one side and wrapping her arms around his waist. "Knowing Shaadi-sama he'll just rant for a couple of hours about my "reckless behaviour that's not appropriate for a priestess" before giving into my puppy eyes."
Ishtar shook his head, revving up the bike. "You've been taking lessons from Yuugi, haven't you?" Setsuna gasped teasingly as they took off down the road. "How'd you know?" Ishtar laughed. "Oh, just a hunch. Hold on!"
"Too late to tell me now!!"
