(A/N) Okay, the tension begins. Its call Seto’s fault so just read.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days had passed since Seto brought Cat and Erika home. He really felt that he had made the right choice when he picked them to be his slaves. Mokuba loved them and they loved Mokuba. However, that wasn’t the only reason that Seto felt he made the right choice. They more Cat and Erika were there, the more he began to fall for them.

One day, the girls weren’t need to they decided to talk in their room. They wanted to talk about what has happened over the past few days.

“So what do you think of Seto?” Cat asked out of nowhere.

Erika turned a light shade of pink. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“I mean how much you do like him?” said Cat.

“I think that he’s really nice. Yet, he always seems to bit distracted, especially around you and me,” said Erika.

“I know,” Cat agreed.

“So what do you think of him?” asked Erika. She was still a bit pink.

“He’s great. I’m glad that he chose us,” said Cat. “And he’s really, really hot,” she teased.

That did it. Erika turned bright red. Unlike Cat, who was okay about talking about boys, Erika couldn’t she. She would just blush and look away. Erika was just to shy.

“Um...I’ll see you later Cat,” and with that, Erika got off the bed, grabbed her sketch book, and left the room.

“I think she likes him. Well, so do I, but who couldn’t like Seto Kaiba,” Cat muttered. She too got off her bed and left.

(in the garden)

Cat decided to walk out into the garden. It was beautiful and it reminded Cat of a song that her mother would sing her before Cat was taken away to be a house slave. She started to hum the tune to the song.

Still humming the tune, Cat walked further into the garden. She soon came up to a pond and sat on the ground so she could play with the white water lily. Soon the words came back to her, and Cat began to sing the beautiful song that her mother once sang. It was about spring and love. She sang every verse and even came up with a few of her own tunes to include Seto in it.

Unfortunally for Cat, Seto was walking right past the garden gate. He heard her voice beautiful voice, and went to investigate. When he saw Cat, he sighed.

“Wow! She’s even prettier in the garden,” he whispered.

Soon Cat stopped singing as she felt another presence. She turned around and saw Seto. “Oh Seto, I didn’t know that you were here,” she said.

“Why did you stop singing? It was a beautiful song,” he asked.

“I guess...I don’t know...I’d better go,” Cat was about to leave. However, before she could get too far, Seto grabbed her arm.

“Please don’t go,” he whispered in her ear. Cat turned a slight shade of pink and lowered her head so that Seto wouldn’t see.

However, Seto lifted her face and looked her strait in the eye. Then without even looking, he picked up the water lily that Cat was playing with and put it into her hair. “You’re very pretty,” he whispered.

Cat turned from a shade of pink to a shade of red. At her blush, Seto smirked. He then leaned his head down and planted a soft long kiss on her lips. Little did he know, but someone saw him doing this.

“I’ll see you later, I have a meeting with the Pharaoh’s little brother,” he said.

As Seto left, Cat sat back on the ground a bit dazed. “Wow! I have to tell someone,” she whispered. “Erika won’t believe it.”

‘Don’t tell her. Remember she likes him too’ said Cat’s second conscious.

“Oh, right,” Cat mutter. She wanted to tell someone about the fact that Seto had kissed her, but who to tell? Maybe she should tell Mokuba.

(grand party room)

Erika decided to wander Seto’s mansion. She ended up finding herself in the main party room. It was beautiful. It had one huge and beautiful fountain in the center of the room, there was a large space for dancing, a few large tables for parties and murals.

“Wow! What a great drawing opportunity,” Erika whispered as she opened her sketch book. Over the time that Erika and Cat had been here, Erika drew everyone and everything.

This time she was drawing this room. It was huge and there was a lot to draw. It was also very difficult cause of every last detail in the room. But it was an amazing room. Erika work very hard on her sketch. However, she didn’t finish until late into the night. Soon she was finally satisfied with her picture.

“Erika, can you help me put Mokuba to bed?” Cat asked as she walked into the room.

“Yeah, sure. How can I be of help?” Erika asked as she put her sketch book down on the side of the fountain.

“You and I are going to sing to him,” replied Cat.

Erika began to sweat. “C-Cat, I’m not that great of a singer.”

“Come on Erika. Please, just this once,” Cat pleaded. She gave Erika her best puppy dog eyes.

Erika could never say no to those eyes. “Oh alright,” she gave in and left with Cat. The only thing was that she left her sketch book behind.

(Mokuba’s room)

“So wait, both of you are going to be singing to me?” Mokuba asked excitedly as Erika and Cat tucked him in.

“Yep,” said Cat.

“YAY!” cheered Mokuba.

“Ready?” Cat asked to Erika. Erika nodded.

“Dancing bears,” Erika began.

“Painted wings,” Cat continued.

“Things I almost remember.”

“And a song someone sings.”

“Once upon a December,” Cat and Erika sang together.

“Someone holds me safe and warm,” Cat went back to singing a solo.

“Horses prance through a silver storm,” Erika did the same.

“Figures dancing gracefully.”

“Across my memory.”

“Far away, long ago.”

“Glowing dim as an ember.”

“Things my heart use to know.”

“Things it use to remember.”

“And a song.”

“Someone sings.”

“Once upon a December,” Cat and Erika finished.

Slowly the girls snuck out of the room as Mokuba had fallen asleep as they were singing.

“Nice job Erika,” complimented Cat.

“Not bad yourself Cat. But from now on, you are the only one that does the singing,” teased Erika.

“Well, we better get to bed,” yawned Cat as she and Erika headed into the direction of their bedroom.

“Yeah, let’s go. No wait! Shit! I can’t, I left my sketch book back in the main party room. Look you go ahead and I’ll meet back in the room,” said Erika as she ran in the opposite in the direction to get her book.

“Um...okay,” said Cat as she watched Erika running in the opposite direction.

(grand party room)

Seto finally got back from his meeting with the Pharaoh’s little brother, Yugi. Yugi was tough but fair when it came to his brother Yami, even if Yugi was a bit small. Anyway, Seto need to check out his party room to make sure that it would be perfect for Yami’s Birthday. It was in a few weeks and Seto and Yami were very good friends so everything had to be perfect.

Seto was about to leave when he noticed something extra in the room. Erika’s sketch book was still on the fountain side.

It was still open to the picture of the room, that Seto was in. ‘This is amazing’ thought Seto as he went to the beginning to the book. On the very first page was a sketch of a flower in the garden. The next page was a portrait of Mokuba. On the third page, there was a portrait of Cat. As Seto was turning to the fourth page, Erika walked in to see him looking through her book.

“Oh no,” she muttered.

She then ran up to him. “Seto please stop. I don’t want you to look any further in my book,” she said.

“Why what is so bad about the next page?” Seto asked.

“It’s not that page that I’m worried, it’s the next one,” Erika whispered.

Seto didn’t hear her so he went on to the next page. It was a portrait of Seto and Mokuba.

“This is amazing,” he said.

“Master Seto, please do not look at the next page. I beg of you,” Erika pleaded on her knees.

Seto just ignored her and went to look at the sixth page. It was a sketch of Seto and Erika in each others arms. At this picture, Seto’s jaw dropped and Erika began to cry.

“Erika did you draw this?” Seto asked in a shaky voice.

Erika nodded.

“It’s beautiful,” he said.

Erika looked up at Seto. “What did you say?” she asked, still crying.

“Your picture is beautiful,” Seto said again. He bent down and wiped away Erika’s tears. Then, with one hand still holding the book, Seto grabbed Erika’s arm and pulled her up. He leaned closer to her face. They were so close, ready to kiss.

“I’ve got to go,” Erika grabbed her book from Seto and ran out.

“And so it begins,” smirked Seto as he went to chase after her.

“Erika, Wait!” he yelled out.

Erika didn’t listen. Soon she was caught by Seto.

“Seto, I didn’t want you to see that page,” Erika said.

“Why?” he asked.

“Because...Because...,”Erika couldn’t answer.

“Because it could never happen?” Seto asked as though reading her mind.

Erika nodded.

“But it can,” he whispered in her ear. He then softly kissed her lips. It wasn’t as long as Cat’s kiss, but it was a dream come true. It would have been a longer kiss, if it wasn’t interrupted by a small ten year old’s voice.

“Seto?” it was Mokuba.

“Mokuba, what’s wrong? You’re suppose to be in bed,” Seto asked, just a little worried about his brother

“I had a nightmare,” Mokuba lied, with a mischievous smile on.

“Alright, I’ll take you back to bed,” said Seto, knowing the look in his brother’s eyes. “Goodnight Erika.”

Erika just stood there and smiled as she watched the two Kaiba brothers walking away.

(Mokuba’s room)

Seto had tucked Mokuba back in and smiled at him. “Mokuba, I know that you didn’t have a nightmare,” he teased.

“Okay I had to go to the bathroom,” said Mokuba.

“Mokuba.”

“Alright, I heard your voice and I went to investigate,” smiled Mokuba.

“There’s more to this isn’t there?” Seto asked.

“Yep,” said Mokuba. “I have a question for you.”

“Okay, go ahead,” said Seto.

“You like Erika and Cat, don’t you?” teased Mokuba.

Seto turned a slight shade of red. “No. I love them.”

“I knew it. That’s why you kissed them,” said Mokuba.

“You saw that?” Seto blushed.

“Yep. So what are you going to do if you love both of them?”

“I’m not to sure.”

(hallways of mansion)

Erika was walking down the hallways back to the room she shared. She was so happy that she didn’t know what to do. This was the best feeling in the world. She was skipping and smiling.

When she walked into the room, Cat gave Erika a disapproving look.

“Where have you been? It doesn’t take and hour to get a book,” she yelled.

Erika backed away from Cat and looked a bit scared.
