The days following his apparent confession about the state of his relationship, Seto spent shoulder-high in work as he stayed at the Kaiba Corp. building. Yes, it felt better to finally admit there was a problem, there was no denying that. There was the fixing the problem however, no. That couldn't be done. His entire career, future business and public image depended on this marriage. If he didn't marry Anisa in two weeks, everything would go wrong. He would have the media attention he craved at this crucial point, but all in the wrong way. He would catch the eye of clients but again, all in the wrong way. They would all be scrutinizing as he left the woman he often claimed he was destined to marry, the woman who was the daughter of a very powerful businessman. The woman who it seemed, he had put in a position to make or break his whole life's work.

His life had become a mess.

Well, no. That wasn't entirely true. He had a brother who loved him so much, he couldn't understand it and his business wasn't exactly failing, he was at the top of his game. Life couldn't have been any better for Seto Kaiba and he knew it.

Yet it was still a mess.

Seto couldn't remember how he had ended up like this, couldn't remember being so repulsed by the woman he loved but worst of all he couldn't remember how he lived before her. This hatred for her had become a part of his daily routine, it was normal.

"Maybe I need to get away." He voiced aloud to himself in his lonely office, the same office he had holed himself up in since he had confessed to Joey. Naturally, being the hot-headed man he was, Joey took it all the wrong way, confused Seto's comments as a sign that he needed Joey somehow.

"Imbecile." Seto murmured quietly as he dialled the number through to his receptionist.

This makes me really sad to do. This story was going to be the best Seto/Joey story I had written, it was going to symbolise where I'd come on my writing learning curve and hopefully give people a story they liked and enjoyed reading.

But I began writing Chapter Four, as I have posted above, and I got lost with reality. I had so much going on in my life that I lost the passion for the story. I still really want to create it but I guess I lost my muse, my inspiration for fanfiction writing.

I've tried over the past couple of years not to abandon it and to finish it as I wanted to and as I know others have been asking me to, but I can't. The amount of times I've opened Chapter Four to continue writing and just failed is ridiculous.

But I have to admit defeat at some point. So I have to say a massive sorry to all the people who have begun reading this and have asked me to continue, as I won't be able to.

Complex Touch won't be continued.

However, just because I allowed my Seto/Joey inspiration to abandon me, didn't mean I lost my love for writing altogether. If any of you want to check out my FictionPress page, my penname is OneLastDance. I have two large stories and a few one-shots there if anyone is interested. I have a link to my FP profile on my profile here.

Once again I cannot apologise enough to you all and I hope you're not too angry with me!

Thanks for sticking with me, particularly to Growing Pain for all the help, constructive criticism and reviews that made me giggle. If you want to read an AMAZING Seto/Joey story then check out Unheard Love. It's in my favourites list on my profile. It's honestly incredible and make sure you leave a review! It's a story that's deserving.

Well that's all I have to say, I think.

Once again I'm very sorry, but these things happen.
