Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Love of a Priestess ❯ Lost ( Chapter 8 )

Seto Kaiba was not all business, as I had thought. The wedding was planned for nearly a year in advance. There were many other things to attend to; Duel Monsters tournaments and business engagements, namely, on his part. I paid little attention to either. I would monitor Duel Monsters tournaments when I better understood what I was looking for.

But in the time in between Kaiba made some effort to discover the girl he was going to marry.

We went out to lunch often, sometimes dinner, sometimes a show or play or other evening event. I was introduced to his colleagues and their wives and friends. I was well regarded within their circle.

I spent less and less time with Yugi and his friends. I did not tell them about my engagement to Kaiba. I couldn't. They had made their opinions known early. I feared losing their respect for agreeing to such a marriage. It didn't matter that I had no say in the matter.

I missed them. There was a warmth I had not known between them, a comfortable place where I could cease to search for my Destiny and only wait for it to come.

My Channeling had not fallen by the wayside, however. I still needed to know all I could from the Pharaoh, so I continued to Channel with him. We crossed paths quite frequently now. Reflecting back on it, he must have sought me out, because the laws of probability favored us never meeting within the complex walls of his mind.

We talked often, long conversations that really seemed to have nothing to do with me finding my Destiny. I began to enjoy my time with the Pharaoh immensely and looked forward to my nightly Channeling sessions.
