Chapter Eleven - The Trip Back Home
Neither me nor Seto said much as we sat at the breakfast table that Friday morning. It had been that way ever since the night before. Seto stole a few glances at Ren, but continued to eat his meal at the same pace.
"Ren, when will your father be picking you up?" Mokuba asked finally.
was more then happy to break the silence as she answered. "Probably in an hour or so. He'll probably call to tell."
"Okay." Mokuba continued eating his food and the silence continued.
breakfast was finished Mokuba headed outside for a while, leaving Ren and Seto alone in silence. Ren only wished Seto would say something as she stood in the living room. Finally his voice broke the silence.
"Ren, I got something for you." Seto said as he walked towards her. Ren leaned back a little and looked at what Seto had in his hands. A bright red box with a white bow on top.
"What is it?" Ren asked as she took the box.
"Maybe if you open it you'll find out." Seto said with a grin.
took off the lid and looked inside at the amazing gift before her. She took it out a looked at it with a sparkle in her eye. "Wow Seto, it's beautiful. How did you know my favorite card was Kiryu?" Ren gazed at the silver dragon charm and smile at Seto. "Thank you!" She said as she gave him a hug. He stiffened at first and then softened as she loosened her grip. But surprisingly she did not let go. Ren smiled as she he held her in his arms. Why did she feel this way? Was she really falling in love with Seto? Then she remembered. She couldn't like Seto, even if he did like her back. Noah was to be her husband. And if her father found out about her little infatuation with Seto who knew what would happen.
suddenly burst into tears as she backed away and looked at the floor. "I'm sorry Seto," She said. "I like you but....I just can't betray Noah." Ren then ran off and headed outside. Seto could only stare as he watched her slip further and further away from him.
"I won't do this...I won't do this to Noah." Ren leaned against a tree. She cleared the last of her tears and looked at the sky. A clear sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. But in her heart it felt like a hurricane, throwing random things her way as she tried frantically to survive each obstacle.
"Ren." Seto said in a rather high voice. "I'm sorry if upset you."
"It's not you Seto," Ren said with a frown. "It's just, I promised Noah. And I have to keep my promise."stood still for a while and then finally responded. "Then I guess I'll see you the next time we meet. Maybe then you'll be married to Noah." Seto said as he turned away and attempted to walk back inside.
"Wait Seto!" Ren called back. "I still consider you my friend. And as far as I'm concerned probably one of my best friends."
looked back at Ren, but this time his eyes seemed colder. He sighed and then continued onward towards the Kaiba Mansion.
finished packing her things into her back and then received a phone call from her dad, telling her he'd be there in a few minutes to pick her up.
waited outside for the helicopter to land with her bags packed and Mokuba at her side.
"I thought your dad said he'd be here in a few minutes." Mokuba said aloud.
"Yeah, that's what I thought to." Ren said with a shrug.
just over mountains, Ren spotted something flying in the air, and she knew right away it was the helicopter.
helicopter landed smoothly on the ground and the first person to jump out was Noah.
"Hey! Ren, how's it going!" Noah yelled through the sound of the helicopter.
"Hey Noah!" Ren ran up to him and gave him a hug. "It's been a while."
"Only a week Ren." Noah said jokingly. They both laughed. Next came out Ren's father.
"Hi Ren." He said as he hugged her.
"Hey dad." Ren said with a smile.
"Hi there Mokuba." Said Mr. Narrow with a loud voice.
"Hi Mr. Narrow."
"I'm sorry dad if Seto's not here, he stayed back at the Kaiba Mansion." Ren said to her father.
"Oh. What do you mean Ren, I see him right there behind you."
turned around and to her surprise Seto was standing behind her, greeting her father.
"Seto," She said with a smile as she walked towards him. "I thought you wouldn't come. I thought you didn't care."
"I only came here to say good-bye." Seto said in his usually cold tone of voice.
smile, for she knew there was more to it.
"Well we should be going now." Ren's father said as he headed towards the helicopter. Noah followed. But Ren began walking towards both the Kaiba brothers as she said her good-byes and hugged them both.
"Seto." She said as she hugged him tightly. "I'm going to miss you. But I'll always remember the good times I had here forever." Seto only looked at her with a blank stare and quickly said good-bye.
boarded the helicopter, but something just didn't feel right. And it had something to do with Seto. She watched as the helicopter flew further and further away from the Kaiba mansion, until was no longer able to see Seto, Mokuba or their mansion.
"Ren," Noah began as he gave her a cheerful smile. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you to Noah." Ren said with a smile on her face. But inside her true thoughts led to Seto. Had he really be changed? And if so, had he gone back to his regular old self? Ren only wished she knew the answers to these questions as her face began to show signs of concern.
"What's wrong?" Asked Noah.
"What do you mean?"
"You seem kind of quiet."
"I'm just tired," Noah blinked at her and then smiled.
"Hey, guess what." Ren turned all her attention to Noah. "Your father says I can run his business for a week. And then if I do good enough he may let me run it for another week."
"Wow Noah, are you serious?" Ren looked at her dad who was sitting to the other side of her. "Dad, is he serious?"
"Of course." Her father said aloud. "He earned it, for working so hard this week."
"You did it Noah," Ren smiled at Noah. "You really achieved your goal....You set it and stuck with it. I knew I could count on you to work hard."
"Yeah, it wasn't that hard after awhile I'm actually kind of used to all the work now." He said as he grinned.
"Well I just hope your lucky with this week. Have any meetings at all?" Ren asked with enthusiasm in her voice. Noah thought for a moment.
"I have a meeting with Mr. Foully from the technology reproduction industry. Him and his son have an opportunity for us so that we can form alliances with other big technology companies."
let out a slight gasp, but held the rest in. She didn't want to make Noah unsure of any of the decisions he'd be making in the meeting. However, she still wasn't sure if alliances were such a good thing as what Seto had said. Was Mr. Foully trying another way to get to Seto's company?
"My only hope is that this plan will make Narrow Tech more powerful." Noah smiled with a satisfied look on his face. Ren smiled at him as well, but felt a splitting pain in her heart as she sat in the helicopter trying to gather her thoughts. Dozens of questions buzzed through her head as she tried to think of answers. Why had Seto rejected the idea of an alliance. Why had Mr. Foully tried another attempt at being able to form a plan? Why was Noah agreeing with his idea? Would Seto ever forgive her for why she couldn't love him? Laying back in the seat she looked out the window. She began to see familiar buildings as they enter her hometown. And with great reassurance Ren began to realize that eventually, all these questions that haunted her would soon be answered.
