~Flashback~

Jazmine jumped when a pair of arms snaked around her waist, accompanied by a head on her shoulder. She feels a kiss on her neck, she smiles knowing it is Seto. She takes her hands off the counter and leans back into Seto. His arms tighten around her waist, pulling her back against his chest making her blush. Her arms go over his. Seto smiles a little, his eyes close. Jazmine flips a pancake that is in the pan. Seto's eyes open.

"Can I help?" Seto asks. Jazmine moves his hands away as he tries to.

"No! No. You'll aim for the ceiling again and it will be annoying to clean up." Jazmine said. Seto rests his hands on the counter with Jazmine in between.

"You know me so well." Seto said. Jazmine smiles. She takes a pancake off the pan and pour more batter in the pan. Seto slips his hands under her shirt. She smiles, feeling his hands on her skin. Then he tickles her, Jazmine laughs and grabs his wrists as she sets the pan down on the stove.

"Seto! N-No. Stop." Jazmine laughed. Seto smiles, he pulls her away from the stove a little only to get Jazmine to splattered batter off a spoon across Seto's leg. Seto stops, he rises an eyebrow at her.

"Oh...if that's the case then it's on." Seto said. Jazmine smiles and goes to grab the bowl full of batter, but Seto hooks his arm around her waist, pulling her back against him, pulling her away from the bowl.

"No!" Jazmine laughed as she tried to pry Seto's arm off, he reaches out and grabs the bowl. "No. Have mercy! Seto---aghhhh!" Seto pours it over her head, getting some on himself in the process. Seto puts the bowl back on the table. "You're lucky you are cute." Seto smiles at her. She puts her arms around his neck instantly hugging him. Seto tries to get her off.

"Ahhh! Jaz you're--" Jazmine pulls Seto in a tight hug as she kissed his cheek. Seto sighs in defeat and than rests his arms around her waist. Jazmine smiles at him as he looked at her. "Fine you win." He said. She smiles again at him.

"You started it." She said. He looks offend all a sudden, than he smirks. He kisses the top of her nose making her blush and smile.

"You look cute covered in batter." He said. She blushes again.

"Good, I need to get changed now because of you." She said. She let go of him and goes towards the stairwell. He turned to her.

"You need help with that?" Seto asks her. Jazmine stops in her tracks and her face turns as red as a tomato. She turns to him.

"Very f-funny, Seto. But no." She responded. Seto snaps his fingers and the batter disappears off him and her jaw drops in shock. He chuckles at her.

"Okay." Seto said before he turned away from him. She runs at him and jumps on his back, taking him down to the floor. She sits on his back.

"I did not know you could do that. I thought you meant..." Jazmine trials off as she blushes. Seto looks behind him, he looks confused.

"Of course I meant magic...wait..What did you think I meant?" Seto asks. Jazmine looks at him. She gets up and pulls on his shoulder. Seto moves over on his back, Jazmine sits on his waist. Seto props himself up with his elbows. "You're still covered in batter." Jazmine smiles. Seto does too. "And the food is burning as well." Jazmine's eyes go wide.

"Crap!" She shouted as she got off Seto and ran to the stove.

"What happened in here?!"

Seto meets eyes with Sherri who looks shocked. But Sherri looks at Seto who was still on the floor.

"You know what...I'm not shocked anymore at this mess if you're involved." Sherri said. Sherri snaps her fingers and the batter disappears off the counter, floor, and off of Seto and Jazmine. Jazmine looks down at Seto. She was about to talk to him when she noticed that he wasn't listening anyway. She looks at Sherri.

"Breakfast is ready, umm Seto can I talk to you..alone?" Jazmine asks. Sherri looks at Seto and then at Jazmine.

"What's the problem?" She asks.

"N-Nothing. It's nothing, I want to talk to him without you or Lincoln interrupting like you always do." Jazmine said. She grabs Seto's arm and helps him to his feet. Seto and her go upstairs.

"What's wrong?" Seto asks her as they went into their bedroom. Jazmine shuts the door. She looks at Seto.

"What did the Council say to you, yesterday?" She asks him. Seto looks away from her, he hesitated for a few moments.

"Jazmine...you know I don't care about that." He said. She sits on the bed.

"I-I know. I know. But....I can't help it. They are right, you deserve better than a non-magic--"

"Jazmine." Seto said. She looks at him. He sits down beside her. "Don't you remember how it was before we started dating?" Jazmine smiles and then nods.

"Yeah...You were too shy to talk to me because you liked me." Jazmine said. She looks at him, he is staring at the floor. He holds her hand making her lose her smile. "Seto....You got kicked out of the Council because of me. And I know you haven't told Sherri or Lincoln this yet. But I know they aren't allowing you another apprentice till I'm gone." Seto looks at her.

"How did you--" She stands up, looking at him.

"I know you were upset. I could tell something was getting to you, especially whenever Sherri is around. I had to look into it because you wouldn't tell me....you shouldn't throw your life away for me." Jazmine said. Jazmine puts her hand on her arm. "I know how happy you are when you are using magic, and since I'm a non-magic user, you aren't happy." Seto's fingers touch her hand.

"Jazmine, I am happy. And if you go..I won't be able to get over you, I would not be able to forget the things I love about you. Your smile, your beautiful eyes, your kind heart, before you....I was that shy person who would never speak. But you, you changed me and for the better. I would not have gotten to where I was without you holding my hand. And yet...if you want to go..I won't stop you...But if you are going because you think you are holding me back or something, you aren't. I do miss having an apprentice, but having to pick between you or an apprentice....I would pick you. I always have my magic, but you come once in a lifetime." Seto said. Jazmine covers her teared-filled eyes. Seto looks at her. "Don't worry about the Council, or my magic, or apprentices.... I can live without any of it as long as I'm with you."

"Awwww...Seto." Jazmine said before she crawled into his lap. Seto smiles and wrapped his arms around her, she buries her face into his shirt. He kisses her forehead. Jazmine picks her head up. She throws her arms around his neck as she kisses his lips. He returned it, only to have it cut short.

"I'm hungry, you wanna go eat?" Seto asks. Jazmine nods, she holds him tighter.

"Carry me, please?" Jazmine asked making him smile. Seto slips his arms under her knees and around her waist as he stood up, she puts her arms around his neck. "I love you, Seto." Seto kissed her forehead as he walked out of the room carrying her.

"I love you too, Jaz."

~End Of Flashback~

When Seto woke up, he was half expecting to wake up at Brice's. Seto puts his arms around his legs. 'My..My friends wouldn't let Brice have me, they wouldn't...right? I mean..they never bothered to look for me for the past four years. What do I mean to them? Nothing..' Seto thought. Seto's eyes water, he saw Coraline sleeping beside him. Seto gets out of bed, he slips on his boots and leaves. He rubs his tears with his sleeves. He goes outside and presses his back against a wall. Seto sinked down to the floor, starting to tremble. He gripped his hair and bury his face in his knees. 'What was I thinking? Why did I do this?! For her? For Jazmine....I bet she forgot about me. I wish Brice killed me, free me from this guilt and shame. I was such a powerful wizard...now..I'm nothing but a joke and criminal.' He thought. Seto stayed there for a long time, before Ty finally found and sat down beside him.

"Seto, right?" Ty asks. Seto doesn't answer. Ty looks at him. 'He's...He is just like I was.' Ty thought. "Seto—"

"Leave me alone." Seto snapped. Ty flinched slightly, but his put his hand on Seto's arm, rubbing it gently.

"Hey, listen. I may not know much about you, but....I can tell that we were a like." Ty said. Seto picked his head up, his eyes shift to Ty. Ty gives him a small smile.

"Really?"
