                                                             Not a Confession

"Mokuba, go now." Seto growled at his brother as he finished changing into some of his more regular outside of work clothes.

"Fiine."

His brother looked disappointed, but headed out the door. Right as he opened the door, Seto heard another one close. What was that? No servants should be in this part of the mansion during the day, and especially not while I'm here. What idiot wants to be fired?

Ana's request not to fire the people involved with the parade popped in his mind. It's not like she needs to know if I fire them. But if she asks me later.... He sighed and went out into the hallway to investigate who was invading his wing of the mansion. The sound was pretty close... My study? Is someone trying to steal something? Not that I keep anything important in my study. That would be foolish considering how many people want to take over my company constantly.

He checked anyway and turned the doorknob, but when he pushed on the door, it didn't budge. Is it stuck? He tried again and realized that it wasn't stuck, but blocked. Someone's in my study. I'm going to rip this frickin' intruder a new one.

"Whoever's in there, you have three seconds to unblock this door before I break it down." He threatened.

There was a small odd noise from the other side that sounded like a squeak. He tried to open the door again, and this time it opened. His eyes fell on a familiar head of hair. Ana was standing in his study with the lights out, her back turned to him.

"Huh? What are you doing in here?" Seto almost doubted what he was seeing.

She turned to him. Her face was bright red, and she was holding her hands over her mouth, looking guilty. Slowly, she lowered her hands and adverted her eyes. "Hi... Amin-chan."

"Uh, hi? What are you doing in my study?" Seto pressed the issue.

She laughed nervously. "It was just the first door I went into."

"The first...? What are you doing in this wing? Your room is on the other side and I'm pretty sure they instructed you to rest before lunch."

"I got bored, so I was exploring." She still didn't look him in the face.

"With a concussion?"

This question made her seem more guilty.

He sighed. "Well, don't explore people's homes without permission. This is my wing. How would you feel if I entered your room without permission?"

"Not... great." She still wouldn't look at him, and in fact she seemed to shrink under his gaze.

Why is she acting so weird? He took a glance around the study. It doesn't look like she touched anything and based on when the door shut, she couldn't have been in here for more than a few seconds... Wait... Based on the timing... Frickin' shit she heard the conversation I was having with Mokuba! Wait, wait, think what was the last part of that conversation? He went over the conversation in his mind and came to one conclusion. I'm screwed. Do I tell her what she heard was a misunderstanding, or maybe that it was about some other girl? That would kind of piss me off though to make up a fake girl friend this time to trick the person I actually like.
