Seto Kaiba was the...

"Attention duelists, the first round of the Battle City Finals are complete. Our four finalist are: Muto, Akane, Ishtar, and Kaiba. The duels will continue tomorrow when we reach our next destination," Roland said over the comm.
Ryoko and Seto tucked Mokuba in bed for the night, before they headed to Seto's room. They had both decided to share his room in case Marik got any bright ideas to finish what he'd started with Ryoko in Odion's room. Ryoko had left her ruby choker on the bedside table in Mokuba's room, Seto had given her a questioning look that Ryoko returned with a head shake to say 'later', and feeling too exhausted to argue, Seto let the matter drop.
Ryoko changed in the bathroom while Seto changed into his sleep pants and shirt. He made a few last minute checks on his laptop before looking up as his girlfriend exited the bathroom in a navy blue loose-fitting t-shirt and matching shorts, there was a chibi Blue-Eyes sleeping on a cresant moon with a brown teddy bear clutched in one clawed hand. Seto couldn't help but chuckle at the image on her night shirt, he had a feeling that she had chosen that pajama set on purpose, "You are doing this on purpose," he stated as Ryoko plopped down onto the bed with a light chuckle.
She lifted her head and smirked.
"Maybe, maybe not...who knows?" She asked as she settled under the covers with a relieved sigh. Seto grumbled playfully under his breath, earning a laugh from Ryoko. "Come on. I just sleep in them because they're comfortable and stylish," she told the brunette who rose from his seat to join her in the bed. After settling down beneath the sheets Ryoko draped her arm over his stomach as her head laid on his chest, directly over his beating heart. Seto had an arm around her waist while the other rubbed her arm that was draped over his stomach. "Goodnight Seto," she whispered before falling asleep, snuggling closer to him with a humm of contentment. Seto smiled and lightly kissed her forehead, "Goodnight my Chīsai Doragon," Seto whispered to her before letting sleep take over.
oOo
"Will all finalists report downstairs? Kaiba Craft Three is about to make it's descent on KaibaCorp Island," Roland announced the next day just as Ryoko and Seto awoke from their sleep that had been plagued by Egyptian sands, ancient Pharohs and Priests, and magic.
"Roland, you're evil, I swear," Ryoko mumbled as she begrudgingly pulled out of Seto's warm embrace.
"Glad to see you awake," he told her with a chuckle.
"I can't help it, a girl needs her beauty sleep." Ryoko said in a prim tone as she stretched her arms. She grabbed her change of clothes from her backpack and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. She walked back out to see Seto all dressed and ready. Smirking as she gave an appreciative look at his toned figure, she walked up and wrapped her arms around his neck while his came around her waist. "Forget something?" He asked smirking.
