So, I was reading some Otome on Voltage inc & came up with this randomly. I know that Seto is not supposed to be kind or anything so it's a little uncharacteristic.

She sighed heavily as she approached the door of Seto Kaiba. The events of the virtual nightmare they had been trapped in were still replaying in her mind. Slowly, she reached out her shaking hand & tapped on the door. "I-it's Ashelia." She nervously called out. "..." She bit her lip & waited in what seemed like five minutes of silence. 'Maybe he isn't in his room.' She thought to herself as she started to turn away from the door.
"What do you want?" The voice made her stop dead in her tracks. She turned back to see Seto Kaiba standing in the doorway.
"May I come in?" She asked holding her breath. He said nothing as he walked back into the room & sat down on the bed. 'I guess that is a yes.' She nodded to herself, regaining her composure & confidence. In order to deal with Seto Kaiba it was something that was needed. He was like a snake where the weak get eaten alive. She walked into the bedroom & stood in front of Kaiba where he sat on the edge of the bed. He did not say a word as he looked at her waiting for her to say something. 'Just say anything.' She told herself as she began to speak. "I know you won't answer me if I ask you & I really am not sure what to say but I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. You know, considering everything that just happened & seeing Gozuboro again..." She felt her voice trail off into silence as Kaiba stood before her. He heaved a heavy sigh before resting his head on her slim shoulder. "!..." Ashelia almost fell over due to the sudden weight of Kaiba's slumped body on top of hers. "Seto...?" She found her hands moving on their own & slowly caressing his soft brown hair.
The sudden touch of her hand seemed to prompt Kaiba to speak, "I need to win this tournament." He declared. He raised his head a little so it was directly in front of hers. His eyes were fixated on hers & she could feel his hot breath tickle her lips. The passion in his blue eyes was so intense she couldn't resist feeling drawn to them. They slowly began moving closer to each other until their lips were barely touching when there was a loud knock on the door.
"Y-you should answer that!" Ashelia almost yelled, nearly jumping out of her own skin at the noise. She had almost forgotten herself in front of Kaiba. She gulped hard as he made his way toward the door. Her face was bright pink & her breath haggard as she tried to grasp what had almost happened. 'I almost kissed Seto Kaiba! What am I thinking? Am I crazy?' She plopped down into the nearest chair pressing her hands against her cheeks in an attempt to calm herself down.
"Let's go. We're here." Kaiba said in a monotone voice, seemingly unaffected by the events that just happened.
"O-okay... I'll catch up to you..." She blushed, not being able to bring herself to look in his direction. She did not hear a response & let out a sigh of relief when the door closed behind him leaving her to her thoughts in the large empty room. "What just happened...?" She asked herself while standing up to walk over to the nearest window. Looking out the window revealed what looked like a construction zone with ashes, rubble & what was left of buildings covering the whole entire land. 'Where did he take us?' She could see Kaiba & the gang standing in a clearing just a few feet away from the blimp. 'I should hurry.' Running out of the blimp she accidentally tripped over the stairs. Closing her eyes tightly & bracing herself for the hard impact of the cement ground she let out a yelp. However, the impact never came. "Huh?" She opened her eyes to find herself in the strong warm arms of Seto Kaiba. His appearance a bit disheveled she could tell that he had made an extra effort to catch her from where he was previously standing. "Ah.. I'm sorry!" She apologized, jumping out of Kaiba's arms. He said nothing as she regained her composure.
"Hey! What's the big deal, Kaiba?!" An angry Joey yelled out, picking himself up off the ground. "Watch where you're going, eh?! I nearly busted my rump because'a you. I dunno where you get off pushin' people. Why I oughta!" He made a fist with Duke Devil holding him back.
"Get off it, Joey. He's not worth it. Just beat him in a duel!" Duke grunted, struggling to keep Joey under control until Joey gave up after a few moments of flailing in his arms.
"Hmph." Seto rolled his eyes & returned to Mokuba's side in front of the group. "Let's go." He called out to everyone, not bothering to take a look behind him. 'He pushed Joey out of the way to save me from falling.' Ashelia stared blankly at Seto as he walked away.
"You comin'?" Joey nudged her. She nodded & the two of them started to run to catch up with the rest of the gang.
