A/N: Wow, sorry it's been so long. I'm afraid my writing style has changed now... anyways, review please!

Seth stared a moment, mouth open in awe. His nerves were fraught and his stomach was doing flip-flops and the god's know what else. He felt like a foolish child again. Presently, he had just re-realized that the girl, Kisara was still enveloping him in a hug, and for some reason, he didn't want her to stop. He felt…well besides the fact that his heart was thumping so loudly he was afraid even the Pharaoh would hear it, he felt complete, somehow.

And then the girl withdrew, her soft angelic eyes never leaving his as she gently touched his cheek. She looked at him with such intensity and another emotion he couldn't identify. He felt her breath on his neck and it sent tingles down his spine. He returned the gesture, and he began to let his heart take over for once, rather then his head. Slowly, gently kissed her.

They lingered in that position, and it seemed to them that time had stopped. The two were just in the moment, oblivious to their surroundings.

Suddenly Seth became aware of what was happening, and he pulled back sharply. A dewdrop of sweat formed at the corner of his forehead and he swiped at it with his palm nervously, and then turned away. His heartbeats felt as though they were resounding across of all of Egypt now, and he didn't like the feeling.

How could I let this happen? He asked himself angrily, feelings of turmoil welling up inside himself. How could I be so impulsive? I have to get a grip on myself now, or I'll be falling into that dark abyss I've kept myself from all these years.

Kisara began to speak timidly, and Seth turned around to hear her. Color had begun to rise in her cheeks and her eyes had an all too shiny, watery look to them. "I-I can't believe, well, I just I…don't understand how…" she trailed off for a moment and then took a breath and tried to compose herself. She sniffed and then began again. "This…has never happened to me before…I've never felt this way before. And never have I been so impulsive. Perhaps it's the fact that you've saved my life, but I feel something for you Seth, something I can't identify, and I know- I hope- you feel the same."

Kisara stopped and placed a hand on Seth's shoulder. Seth nodded dumbly, battling his conflicting emotions, his reason, pitting his head against his heart. And his heart was winning.

"I feel the same," he began shakily. Fear was constricting his speech. This emotion was a new one to him and he couldn't place it. His nerves were on edge now and he felt as though he was going to collapse from the tension. If father finds out… he trailed off, leaving himself to come up with every possible foreboding answer. Not that he was in the least bit intimidated by his father, no. He was his equal if not his superior. But if father found out, Seth began thinking again, deciding to complete the thought. He'd put Kisara in harm's way, harness her ka for his own putrid volatile schemes, regardless on if she was powerful or not, just to keep me from being distracted. This relationship, whatever it might be, must remain a secret for now.

Seth continued, his voice strengthening, "But this cannot be known to anyone else. There are people…who wish to harm you, and would do so more if they found out about whatever's between us."

The girl draped her arms around him in one last hug. "I understand," she breathed, her voice scarcely louder then a whisper. Seth then pecked her cheek gently and walked out the door- half afraid that if he looked back, he wouldn't be able to leave her.
