Chapter Six - The Meaning of Friendship



"Come on Seto," Yelled Ren from a dancing arcade game. "It's a lot of fun."

"I don't think so." Seto said arrogantly. "I'm a duelist not a dancer."

"Oh really, so you think I could beat you?" Ren said aloud. "Just watch me it's more fun then you think."
selected a song from the song list and then stood in the middle of the pad until the game began.

"Watch this Seto." Ren said as she began dancing to the beat of each step on the screen.
watched closely as Ren placed her foot in all sorts of different spots to the beat of the song and suddenly he began to feel the beat and how it worked to aid Ren in her dancing moves.

"Ren isn't half bad at playing this game." Thought Seto as he watched Ren's feet move. And suddenly without know it he was tapping his feet to the beat.
song ended and Ren turned around to face Seto. Several people clapped there hands as Ren bowed.

"So how about it Seto." Ren said as the people began going back to their games. "Think you can beat me on a two player more?"

"Heh, I don't think so I'm not playing on that thing." Seto said arrogantly.

"So you think I will beat you." Ren smiled and gazed at him.

"What, of course not. I have a lot more skill then you do."

"Hey Seto, guess what I won five games." Mokuba said as he ran to Seto.

"Mokuba, tell your brother he needs to do something other then stand around all day." Ren said with a grin.

"Yeah, like work." Seto grinned.
despite his attitude Ren determined as ever began pushing him up to the dancing arcade game.

"Come on Seto." She said as she struggled to push his onto the dance game. One foot touched the game, but the other wouldn't budge. "Seto look, you even have a crowd of people." She was right. Several people were now watching and this made Seto practically leap on to the dancing game as they cheered and yelled his name.
"Alright Kaiba! Way to go Kaiba!" They cheered aloud.

"Alright fine," Seto said with a straight face. "Lets get this over with."

"I thought you'd never ask." Ren put in a coin and pushed the start button. "Okay first after choosing our mode we'll need to choose the song. Any ideas."

"Yeah, why don't you just pick a song and get dancing already."

"Sorry." Ren picked a song and stepped into the middle of the pad. Seto followed. The music suddenly began and the arrows popped onto the screen soon after. Seto had a little trouble at first, at least on what exactly he needed to do. "Move your feet to the arrows on your side. See left up, left down, left up, right down. That's it." Seto was finally getting the hang of it and followed most of every step on the screen despite the fact that it was a bit hard for him to get from one square to the next with only two feet and five places to go. "Use both your feet in all areas." Ren yelled as she hopped on both left up and left down with both feet. "Like this." She showed him a few more moves and soon he was trying them out. Lights flashed in the air and around the game as speakers boomed the sound of the music. And at the sides bunches of people cheering for both Seto and Ren.

"Yeah, way to go Seto! Nice Moves Ren!" Yelled Mokuba from the sidelines.
dance game finally ended and everyone cheered as both Seto and Ren hopped off the game.

"You did great Seto," Ren said happily with a smile. "Even though I won anyways. And you'll have to admit, that was a bit of fun wasn't it?"

"Ah ha ha." Seto stared away for a while and then turned to face Ren. He gazed into her eyes. "To tell you the truth I'd much rather be working."

"Oh come on Seto." Ren said with a punch on Seto's shoulder. Seto looked back at Ren with a quick glare. Ren only smiled and Seto sighed as he began walking away. "Hey where you going Seto?"

"Somewhere your not." Seto said coldly.

"Aw come on Seto I thought we were friends." Ren smiled and winked.

"What? You thought we were friends?" Seto gave a small smirk. "Ha, give me a break."
gave a sad look as Seto began to turn towards the direction he was going. "I still consider you as my friend." Seto stopped.

"Why does this girl insist on offering friendship?" Seto thought to himself. He looked at Ren and sighed. "She doesn't understand that friendship is pointless for me and I'll never need it."
"Didn't you want to get smoothies at the mall." Seto said aloud. "If we hurry we can still make it there with enough time to find clothes for you for this week." He looked at Ren who straightened her face. "And if you want I guess I could help you out."
smiled widely and gave out a happy cry as she dragged both him and Mokuba to the limo to go straight to the mall.

"Mokuba what kinda smoothie do you want?" Asked Ren from the smoothie stand.

"I'll take strawberry, thanks." Mokuba said and then immediately found him and his group a table.

"What flavor are thinking about getting Seto?" Ren asked with a smile.

"Cherry," He said quickly.
ordered the smoothies from the stand at the mall and then went to sit with Seto and Mokuba.

"Alright, we have strawberry for Mokuba," She handed him his smoothie. "Cherry for Seto," Ren said as she handed him the red smoothie cup. "And pineapple for me."
all began drinking their own smoothies slowly, not saying a word until....BRAIN FREEZE!

"So why do you like cherry so much Seto, most people I know hate it because it's to sweet. Maybe that means your really sweet inside." Ren smiled and then began slurping away at her smoothie.

"Heh, yeah right. It's just my favorite flavor that's all." Seto grinned. "Why's your pineapple?"

"Oh I don't know. Maybe cause it's so sweet, but yet a bit sour." Ren smiled and then slurped again.

"Like you." Seto said under his breath.

"Thanks for the compliment Seto."

"I meant the sour part."

"What!"

"Hey Seto, look!" Mokuba motioned to a game store that had just opened in the mall. "I heard they have all of the coolest games from all over the country."

"Wow." Ren stood up from her seat. "I have to check that out."
"If you want to get your clothes you'll have to get them now." Seto said as he stood up and walked towards a trash can to throw his cup away.

"Oh, okay then. Mokuba I wont stop you from going to the game store, but Seto, I want you to come with me like you promised." Ren said aloud.

"What!"

"Come one it'll be fun. Besides you said you'd help me out."

"Bye you guys I'll meet at the front at five." Mokuba said as he waved before going into the game store.

"Okay Mokuba." Ren yelled and both her and Seto made their way towards the many clothes stores, including Ren's favorite Goalies.

"Hello," said a black haired lady as they entered the store. "How may I help you two?"

"I'm looking for just some casual clothes to wear for the next week. I'll probably need about eight pairs of clothes so do you think you might be able to suggest a few things." Ren smiled and the black hair lady followed her to racks of casual clothes wear leaving Seto to watch.

"Oh hi there." Called out another lady from behind Seto. He turned around. "Don't be shy. Many of the boyfriends who come in here are. Just have a seat in one of these chairs over here." She said as she pointed to a spot at the middle of the store with a couch and a few armchairs.

"Oh, thank you. But that girl you think is my girlfriend is not." Seto said not even looking at the store lady as she gasped and apologized. "No, I'm just taking her to get clothes for the rest of the week."

"Oh, so is she your sister?" The lady asked curiously.

"No, one of my friends daughters."
lady turned to walk towards the back to help out someone, but then stopped and added "You know you two would make a great couple." Seto gasped and about said something, but found the lady had disappeared.

"What was she talking about me and her a cute couple." Seto thought to himself as he leaned back in the chair. "Me and her are two totally different people." Seto looked over to where Ren was picking out a few clothes and gave a faint grin as he thought once more about what the lady had said. "Heh, couple."
looked through several clothes in the rack and found many cute shirts and a few shorts and jeans to wear.

"Your boyfriends really cute." Said the black haired lady as she helped Ren with her selections. Ren just about fell over after hearing the remark.

"I'm sorry, he's not my boyfriend." Ren said with a faint smile.

"No, your joking." The lady said with a laugh. "You guys looked so cute coming in together. You should definitely consider asking him out."

"What, ask Seto out?" Ren thought to herself. She couldn't ask Seto out. Even if he was cute, she was to be married to Noah.

"There you are." Said the lady with a smile. "I'll get your um..we'll the guy you were with so he can rate you on your clothing."

"What!" Ren tried to stop the lady, but she refused.

"Just make your way to the dressing room," she said as she pushed Ren towards the dressing room in the back.

"But." To late, she was already headed towards the dressing room and the black haired lady was headed to where Seto sat.
found a room and placed her clothes on the hooks on the wall.

"Sir, the girl you were with has asked me to bring you to rate her clothing so she knows if it's okay to buy."

"What, why would I want to-

"I can tell she really likes you. You should at least be a gentlemen and do this one thing for her."
only stared as it registered in his mind the words the lady had just said.

"Aw man the zippers stuck." Ren said as she tried to zip up a skirt. Finally the zipper went up. "Yes. And now to see what this outfit looks like."
walked out of the room she was in and went towards a set of three large mirrors. A white shirt saying the words 'COOL' on it, with red letters and a red jacket, not to mention a blue jean skirt, was an awesome combination and looked good with the already white shoes Ren was wearing. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

"Not half bad." Ren said to herself.

"Look's good." Said Seto as he walked up from behind her. And this time he was actually telling the truth. And seeing it in his face Ren knew so.
"Wow, a compliment from you." Ren said sarcastically.

"Heh, yeah I guess that was one." Seto sat down on a bench in the dressing room hall.

"Wait here." Ren said as she went into her dressing room. "I'll find something else to try one."
black haired lady walked in and smiled. "See. She looks really happy. She's probably had a crush on you from what I can tell."

"What!?" Seto questioned. The woman only laughed and walked out of the dressing room.

"Yeah right." Seto thought. The chances of Ren liking him were one percent, and the other ninety-nine belonged to Noah. "But what if she does like me? No, no she can't, she promised to marry Noah. So stop getting those stupid ideas in your head."
opened the door and revealed shorts and a yellow t-shirt with a picture of a cat on it.

"What do you think?" Ren said as Seto looked at her from head to toe. She looked great when she had shorts on. And even better in a skirt.

"It looks good." Seto said without a smile, but a slight expression of happiness.

"Wow," thought Seto. "She really did look good in those clothes. Especially the- Wait, don't think that...just keep your mind on something else."

"Okay." Ren said coming out once again with a ruffled orange skirt and a half long sleeved shirt with a gold and orange striped design. "How does it look?"

"Hmm," Seto looked up from his thoughts and gave a half smile. "Great."
began walking towards her room. "Is something wrong Seto?" Ren asked once inside her dressing room. "You look like your really deep in thought." It was true, he had been deep in thought, but he wasn't about to tell her what he was thinking about.

"Seto why I'm glad you came to help me with my clothes." Ren said with a smile as she began trying on another set of clothes. "It may not seem to you that your alright without friends, but once you have them you wonder why you didn't have them sooner."

"Really?" Seto said sarcastically. "And how exactly do you know this."

"Well it's not exactly what I know from friendship. I've always had friends. But there's always something else that most people go without that seems to pertain from friendship. And that's love."
gasped. "And how would this be connected to your experiences?" Seto asked. "I thought you only were marrying Noah so he could have a life again."

"No, I don't mean Noah." Ren said with a sigh. "I've never really had a boyfriend, mostly because I was so shy, but this summer I've actually become more confident. And even though I thought I may never need love I found someone, at least for a while. We only partially knew each other and he works at my fathers company. Of course I'm sure it was just puppy love, but at the time it felt real. And when you get this feeling you sort of don't want it to go away. And at the time you wonder how exactly you went all this time without it."

"Heh, really. Well despite your story I think it's safe to say I probably wont ever feel that way." Seto grinned.

"I doubt that. Even the most toughest and meanest of people can fall in love. It just all depends on what the persons looking for. You may not see her now, but some day you'll find that special someone who's perfect for you." Ren came out of the dressing room. "Now how do you fancy this outfit." Ren wore a beautiful jeweled black blouse with dark blue jeans.
sat stunned at the beautiful outfit.

"Hmm, your right, it's a little much."

"No, I was just admiring it. That's probably your best one yet."

"Thank you." Ren walked back into her dressing room and began trying on more things.
purchasing the clothes and going to a shoe store to buy some shoes and socks Ren and Seto were both tired and ready to go. So they headed off to the front of the mall.

"You guys should have seen the cool games they had there." Mokuba said aloud as they got into the limo.

"Really? We should go there tomorrow." Ren said excitedly.

"Yeah, then I can show you all the cool games they have there." Mokuba smiled. "Did you get the things you needed Ren?"

"Yep." Ren said as she pointed to the back of the limo where the driver was stuffing three bags in. "There all in the back. And now the only thing we have to do is worry about dinner. Anyone have any ideas?" No one answered.

"If I could make a suggestion." Said the driver. "That new restaurant called Inksos is suppose to be good. There famous for their meats, especially their steaks."

"Alright then." Ren said. "Sound okay to you guys?"

"Sure." Mokuba said.

"Fine by me." Seto said calmly.

"Alright then, we'll go to Inksos." Ren said aloud and they were off.
