Author's Note: This is my first YGO fic, so please be gentle

that my fics more than likely suck, since English was never a
good subject for me... I always get things mixed up... gomen...

I know, Seto must be a bit OOC to you guys, but I am
bringing out his family side for this fic, something I
wish to explore. ^^

Turn 3 - "Silent Attraction"


The soft chirping of birds can be heard across the city of Domino, showing the
world around is slowly awakening. The entire city seems to glow from the rain that
fell last night, dew clinging to every texture like tiny gems, each sparkling with it''s
own inner light.

A gentle breeze works it's way through the trees, kissing all in it's
path with a warm, sweet caress. It stirs the newspaper in the hands of Seto Kaiba,
whom is sitting on the balcony leading from his bedroom. A few strands of hair
drift into his eyes un-noticed by him, as he takes a sip of his coffee, his eyes
never leaving te paper before him.

"Hmm, good. Kaiba Corp's stocks are doing extremely well." He smiles,
and places the paper down on the table before him, his gaze now looking
up to the beauty around the mansion's yard. He sees Mokuba running
below, his raven-black hair flowing behind him as Sakura chases him.

"Catch me if you can, Sakura-chan!" The younger Kaiba laughs, sticking
his tongue out at the young woman playfully, yet in silent challenge. Seto lets
a rare smile grace his features, as he runs a hand through his hair, while
watching the pair run about in the early-morning light.

His blue eyes scan the area below, as he leans against the railing of the balcony,
waving to the pair below. Sakura waves up to him happily, her eyes shinging
as brightly as the sun above them. He nods to her, and continues to watch her
chase his little brother, admiring her child-like energy.

Mokuba bursts out in peels of laughter, as she finally catches him, her
arms wrapping around him in a playful embrace as she begins to tickle him

"Sakura-chan! Stop it!" He giggles, tears forming hin his eyes, which are shut
tightly, due to his laughter, and squirming in her arms. "Do you surrender?" Sakura
asks him, a hint of challenge within her voice this time.

"Never give in, Mokuba! Especially to a girl!" Seto shouts from
his perch upon his balcony, cheering the young boy on with a laugh.

This causes Sakura to gasp, her eyes narrow playfully as she
glances to Seto, sticking her tongue out. "Says you, Seto!"

'What I'd like to do to those lips of yours...' He thought for a brief moment,
before shaking his head in shock at his own thoughts. 'Where the hell did
that come from!?'

"Nii-sama!"

Seto looks down at Mokuba, his gaze returning to normal, "Hai, what is it?"
"Come down and hang out with us, onegai?" He asks his brother, wide,
and hopeful eyes, shining brightly. All Seto can do is shake his head, "Alright, be down in a
minute!" He calls back, disappearing from sight.

Mokuba grins to himself, he will get his brother together with Sakura,
using all the methods he knows! He feels they are perfect for each other, and
he'll make Seto see why. He runs back to the young woman, whom is now
sitting upon the swing hanging from the large tree in the massive backyard.

She has a faraway look within her green eyes, almost as if she can
hardly believe this fairy-tale setting is real. She sighs and swings her feet back and
forth, while deep in thought. "Sakura-chan, daijobu desu-ka?" Mokuba asks.

"Oh, I'm ok, Mokuba-kun, just... thinking." Sakura replies, faking a smile.

"May I ask of what?" The boy asks, leaning against the tree casually.

She smiles, knowing he must be a very curious boy indeed, reaching over, she
ruffles his hair, almost like a sister or mother would. "You are so curious, why
do you wish to know so much about me?"

"Cause I really like you!" He beams, tilting his head to the side in the most
kawaii manner, that it would melt the coldest of hearts. He glances to the side,
seeing his brother approach slowly, "Sakura-chan, I'll be right back, gotta
use the bathroom!" Mokuba bows his head, and runs off, back to the mansion.

Seto glances as his brother runs past him, in a blur of raven-black hair,
chuckling to himself, looking up he finds Sakura on the swing.
"Oi, you ok?" He asks, sitting beside her.

A small nod comes from her, as she continues to look at the grass below
her feet, watching the blades sway with the soft breeze. Seto places his
index finger below her chin, gently lifting her gaze to his, blue eyes meeting green.
"You are not alright, onegai, tell me what's wrong."

"Well... I... you see, Seto..." Sakura manages to get out, a blush staining
her cheeks, as her eyes lock with his own. He looks into the endless sea
of green within those orbs, almost falling deep inside their depths. His
thumb grazes her lower lip softly, before he pulls his hand back, not
wanting to go too fast, and accidentally chase her away.

Sakura stands quickly, bowing her head in thanks for her stay over night,
her bangs falling into her eyes. "Gomen-nasi, I must go." She turns on her heel,
only to have Seto's hand grasp her wrist gently. "Wait, can I see you again?" He asks,
Her eyes look down upon him filled with inner turmoil and conflicting feelings. She
only nods, and pulls out a piece of paper and a pen, writing her number
and address down, and handing it to him.

He does the same, handing her a piece of paper with his contact
information. Standing beside her, he places a kiss upon her hand, before
releasing her completely. Sakura hesitates, then runs out of his sight, her long
hair flowing behind her like a silken waterfall. His hand is out-stretched, as if wanting
to pull the young woman back to him.

Seto sighs, and shakes his head. He doesn't recall having feelings this strong
towards any woman, sure he's had a couple crushes as a child, but nothing like this
has ever happened. This girl, awakens a longing deep in his soul, a longing so strong,
and so full of fire, it sends small shocks through every fiber of his being.

With a slight sigh of temporary defeat, Seto turns on his heel and walks back
inside the mansion, his footsteps echoing through the hallway.

Mokuba watches carefully from his hiding place, and snaps his fingers once Seto
is out of ear-shot. "So close, too! Don't worry ni-sama! I'll help you win her heart!" He
then runs off to his bedroom, a determined smile on his face.

---

As the day progresses, two hearts within Domino city long for another. The hearts
of the Kaiba Corp CEO, and Sakura Yuuki. Both long to hold each other within
warm embraces, to touch, to kiss, to love. An invisible bond ties their hearts together,
almost as if destiny chose for this to happen long ago.

Two hearts, even apart, beat in time with each other, the link between them growing stronger
as the minutes pass, of being apart from it's chosen mate. Sakura shivers as she feels her
heart skip a beat, in silent longing to be with Seto Kaiba.

How can a simple, regular girl like her win the heart of the most famous duelist
in the world? It seems impossible to her, causing a tear to fall down her pale
cheek. "I've liked him for so long, I just met him... what am I supposed to do?" She
wonders aloud, as she looks up at the ceiling from where she lays upon her bed.

Glancing at the table beside her bed, her eyes come across the paper with his
personal cell phone number written in the most beautiful handwriting she has ever seen. Sakura
picks it up with shaking fingers, almost able to feel his hands upon hers once more. She
sighs, and picks up the phone, dialing his number, her heart quickens as it begins ringing.

---

Seto glances up from his computer as his cell goes off, he grabs it and turns
it on, "Moshi-moshi, Kaiba Seto speaking." He speaks in his natural Japanese
accent, mixed with a bit of English. "Konnichi-wa, Kaiba-san." A soft voice responds, a
very familiar voice...

"Sakura?" He asks, his eyes widen, and brighten for the first time in many
years, he stands and walks out of his office, while holding the phone to his ear.
"Hai, it's me. How are you doing?" Sakura says in a child-like voice, very soft
and innocent.

"Ah, I'm ok, just bored for a change." He responds, as he walks into his bedroom,
closing the door behind him silently. It's rare he considers working on his computer
boring, but things are slowly changing for him, as of late.

She giggles, "You, are bored? Seto, that is so not like you!"

"O-Oi! People change, am I right?" He counters, a smirk playing across
his lips, as he sits upon his bed. "Hai, hai, They do. I was only messing with you."

His smirk turns into a soft smile, as he hears her laughter once more. "Sure, whatever
you say, Sakura. Oh yeah, are you busy this Friday?"

"No, I don't have any plans, why do you ask?"

"Would you like to have dinner with me? We can go see a movie or something
as well, if you like." Seto's heart pounds against his ribs, and he wonders if she
can hear it beating since he thinks it is loud enough to do so.

"That would be great!" Sakura replies, and he can almost see her smiling. "Ok, I'll
pick you up around 7:30 on Friday, then?" His smile widens, this will be the first
time he's ever gone somewhere with a girl he likes, and it sends shocks through his
already shaking body.

"Perfect. I guess I'll see you Friday?"

Seto only nods, "See you Friday, take care."

They say their good-byes, and Seto falls back onto his bed with a content sigh,
feeling free to do anything he wishes, he would grow wings and fly high over Domino
if he could. "What are these feelings? Am I... in love?"

---

Sakura jumps off her bed, and squeals happily. Her dream of going out with Seto Kaiba
has come true! She runs over to her window, over looking the late-afternoon sky with
shining green eyes. "I hope things turn out good, for my sake." She places a hand
over her trembling heart.

"To occupy myself, I should go and get some more Duel Monster cards, and ask Seto
to teach me Friday!" She grabs her purse, her keys, and slips her sandals on. Locking her
apartment with care, she runs over to her car, all but jumping in and taking off for the Turtle Game Shop.

The city passes her by, in it's beautiful splendor, trees swaying in the breeze and the birds
sing their own little melodies of life. The sky is a crystal-clear blue, hardly showing
any signs of rain from the night before.

Sakura parks her cherry-red car before the shop, and walks in, humming a
cheerful song to herself. "Konnichiwa!" A young boy with tri-color hair greets
her, his eyes bright, as well as his smile. "Konnichiwa, Yugi!" She smiles and leans against
the counter. "Sakura-chan!" Yugi smiles and stands beside his new friend, he's known her
since she moved here, a few months ago.

"How's jii-chan doing?" She asks, looking over the mass of cards in the display
case, the holofoils glowing with their own special light. "Oh, he's doing great!" Yugi
replies and looks down at the cards with her, his gaze upon the new edition of
the Dark Magician. Sakura looks at the same card, and smiles, knowing his semi-obsession
with that card, and it's inner power. "I actually came here to get some new cards."

Yugi looks over to her, from his now 5'6" frame. He has grown in the past few years,
his body filling in, making him a very handsome young man, of age 18. His eyes
sparkle with wisdom, and kindness, two of his best features.

"Honto?" He cocks an eyebrow in silent challenge to a game of Duel Monsters,
the inner fire coming into his eyes. Sakura grins and nods, "I know that look, Motou!"
Yugi laughs and pulls out his deck, while she pulls out her own. "The usual place?" He asks.

"You bet!"

The tri-color haired teen leads her into the back of the shop, where a holographic
dueling arena is set up, on behalf of Kaiba Corp. Seto had it set up in regards for Yugi
saving the soul of his brother, and himself. It's not as massive as the ones he has been in,
but it's still impressive all the same.

Sakura and Yugi take their respective places, and shuffle their decks, glancing
into each others fire filled eyes.

"DUEL!"
