Chapter Ten - Seto's Soft Side
"Wow Ren! You were right, that was a fun game!" Mokuba said excitedly after playing the dancing arcade game at the Domino arcade.
"Yeah, and it gets even better when you try all kinds of cool moves." Ren smiled sweetly at Mokuba. "Seto should be here in a few minutes to take up to dinner in the limo. I hope he gets here soon."
"Aw don't worry. If I know one thing about my brothers it's that he's never late to anything."
"Well then I guess since we have nothing to worry about we should play a few more games."
"Cool. I'll go get some more tokens." Mokuba hurried off to the money-for-tokens machine.
"Hmm," Thought Ren. "I wonder if Seto talked to Brian's father again today about the whole company alliance thing. Today at the office he seemed a little preoccupied, like he had something important he had to do today. Of course why wouldn't he be. Yesterday proved to be a bit hectic with him showing me the inventions and that meeting, and then the phone call. All I know is that it's good to get away from work for just one day. I don't know how Seto does it." Ren looked at where the money-for-tokens machines were, but didn't see mokuba. She checked her watch to see if maybe it was when Seto would arrive, but the watch told her not until two more minutes. Maybe Seto had come early. Ren began walking to where the machines were and looked around, but still no sign of Mokuba. Ren was now starting to get worried. She headed to the front and looked outside to see if maybe Mokuba had went out to wait for his brother, but still no trace of him. Maybe he had gone to the bathroom. She turned quickly to head for the bathrooms, but something grabbed a hold of he shoulder. Mokuba?
"Ren." The rough voice said. It wasn't Mokuba, but the voice scared he as he asked. "Where's Mokuba?"
"I...I don't know." Ren confessed. Seto gave out a gasp. "He went to go get his tokens exchanged and just disappeared."
"He's around here somewhere," Seto said as he walked further into the arcade. "We just need to look harder." Ren followed Seto as they covered every inch of the arcade.
"Where is he?" Ren said in a sad tone. Seto began to get angry as he walked off toward the back area where they had not yet looked. "Hang on Seto!"
"I know he's here." Seto thought to himself. "I know you're here little brother. I'll find you."
"Seto!" Ren said as she pointed at the far end of the arcade. It was Mokuba, but he wasn't alone.
"Come on kid I only want your tokens that's all." Said a tall red headed guy.
"No way! I bought these!" Mokuba yelled as he tried to get out of the shadow of the red headed kid.
"See Seto, he's being mugged." Ren pointed and started to run towards Mokuba. Seto grabbed her arm.
"Wait! He's my little brother. I need to take care of this." Ren nodded and Seto attempted to step in.
"Alright, you asked for it!" The red hair grabbed Mokuba by the arms and reached for the tokens in Mokuba's hand. "Give em' here ya twerp."
"That's enough!" Seto said as he punched the guy in the stomach sending him to the floor in a motionless state. "No one touches my little brother."
"Seto! Big brother, you came for me!" Mokuba was so excited to see his brother he forgot he had the tokens in his hand and dropped them to the floor as he ran to give Seto a hug.
"Mokuba, are you alright?" Seto said sweetly as he held his brother tightly.
"Yeah, thanks to you Seto." Mokuba held his brother even tighter.
"I'm glad your safe Mokuba." Ren said with relief in her voice. "I have to admit I was pretty scared. I thought you had just disappeared."
"Really, you were really worried about me."
"Yeah. How is it you ended up all the way over here though?"
"Well I saw the guy following me so I decided to go a different way so if he were to attack me you wouldn't be harmed."
"But Mokuba, wouldn't it have been easier just to come to me so I could have called for help?" Ren questioned.
"Yeah, I guess, but even if I had tried, the guy was right in the direction where you were." Mokuba said as he looked at both Seto and Ren. But something from behind them began moving, and before anyone knew what was going on the red haired guy had picked up all of the tokens and ran with them. Seto began to get up to chase after him, but stopped as he saw Ren run towards the guy.
"Don't worry Seto!" She yelled. "I'll get him!" Ren sped up and knocked the guy to the floor with a kick to the back. "Now give me those tokens." She got every single one and ran off, leaving the guy on the floor once again. "Here you are Mokuba. You can use them the next time you come to the arcade."
"Thanks Ren." Mokuba said as Ren handed him his tokens. "Maybe we can go to the arcade tomorrow."
"Well, actually I can't. You see I'm going back home tomorrow."
"You are? Oh." Mokuba sounded disappointed. "I guess I'll just go by myself next week."
"Nonsense." Seto said aloud. "I'll go with you Mokuba." Ren smiled at his response. Seto was indeed becoming nicer. Maybe he could be changed after all.
"Who knew," Ren thought to herself. "That Seto had a soft side buried under that egotistical jerk he once was."
"So do we have any plans for dinner?" Mokuba asked as they walked out to the limo.
"I was thinking we could all go back to Inksos." Seto looked at both Mokuba and Ren. Both seemed to be okay with the idea.
all jumped into the limo and headed for Inksos. Seto and Mokuba sitting at one side of the limo where they always sat and Ren sitting to the other side where she always sat.
"Man, it's been so long," Thought Ren. "Since we had last met when were younger. Seto sure has grown a lot since then. He's taller, more reformed, smarter, more skilled, and I'd hate to admit it, but compared to Noah and even Brian, Seto is one of the handsomest guys I've ever met."
must have sensed something that Ren was thinking because of her looks she was giving him without even knowing it.
"Ren, is something the matter? You look like your happy about something." Seto looked at her with slightly concerned eyes.
"Er...No of course not." Ren began to blush as she turned away from Seto. "Just thinking about something."
almost laughed as he saw he blushing. But what was she blushing about? Was it him? Or was it that Noah kid?
had to admit, Ren was very extraordinary and also very beautiful, no wonder Noah wanted to marry her. But maybe, secretly Ren didn't want to marry him. And if that was the case, would she still marry him? Of course she would. That was the whole reason why they were able to resurrect Noah.
must have been making weird faces to because now Ren was the one with a concerned look on her face.
"Seto, are you -
"I'm fine!" He interrupted. Ren began snickering. Seto only sighed.
looked out the window. Finally they had arrived at Inksos.
ordering, as always waiters would come up to peoples tables and ask if couple would join in on the dance floor. As the last time Seto refused, but the old, male waiter just wouldn't give up.
"Oh come. There's a big celebration today. The owner's birthday is today." Said the old man with a huge smile on his face. "Come! Come and dance. Don't be shy."waiter and the old man began pulling both Seto and Ren out of their seats. Finally after a bit of effort they had gotten both of them onto the dance floor.
"I don't know why that old coot insisted we come over here, but I guess we should just get it over with." Seto said with a gruff tone.
"Oh come on Seto. We're only dancing, what's the harm in it?" Ren grabbed a hold of one of Seto's hands and held it to the side of them. "It sounds like it's gonna be a slow dance, so you better stay close."
flinched a little at being so close to someone, but for some reason after a few seconds he didn't mind at all. In fact he was actually enjoying it.
"Wow, you do pretty good for a slow dancer." Ren said kindly. Seto didn't say anything. He only starred transfixed in a gaze as he held Ren closer to him. Seto now had his eyes closed and was just about close enough to smell the flowery fragrance of Ren's hair. Ren wondered what exactly was happening to Seto, why he was acting this way. Had he really changed? And was possibly, something happening that she wasn't aware of? But before she could really think about these questions Ren felt his hand push her softly away from him. He looked into her eyes. They were now dancing a bit more farther apart then they had been before and Seto just starred at Ren with his now soft blue eyes and put on his focus on her.
"I remembered what you said about having friends." Seto began as they continued dancing. "I remember you telling me that everyone needs friendship, and that once you have it you wonder how you ever went without it. I now know what you mean Ren."
gasped and looked straight into Seto's eyes. He really had changed.
looked down for a moment. "I..I also remember....what you said about love. How when you are in love you feel a powerful and sensational feeling that you just don't want to go away and you wonder how you ever went without it."
"What are you getting at?" Ren asked with a worried face.
opened his eyes and gazed in to Ren's for the longest time, slowly moving towards her and pulling her closer to him.
"What is he doing?" Ren thought to herself. Then suddenly she knew. Ren fell back out of his arms and to the floor where she landed at his feet.
"Are you okay?" Seto asked. But Ren could only look at him with a knowing of what he had almost done. He helped her to the table and they both sat down to eat their food. Ren knew what would have happened. Ren slowly ate her food as the same phrase ran in her mind. Back and fourth. "He almost kissed me."
"Wow Ren! You were right, that was a fun game!" Mokuba said excitedly after playing the dancing arcade game at the Domino arcade.
"Yeah, and it gets even better when you try all kinds of cool moves." Ren smiled sweetly at Mokuba. "Seto should be here in a few minutes to take up to dinner in the limo. I hope he gets here soon."
