Hey there everyone. Sorry, I know I said I'd get this out by last weekend, but I was messing around with trying to figure out a way to get my music on here instead of using midis. It was a failed set of experiments. T_T Ah well, but if any of you know how to do that I'd appreciate it. Oh, and thanks to the support, I'm surprised I've still got 8 of ya hanging around. ^^ Lol, considering I've been out for so long. Heh. ^^ Well, I hope this one turns out better than the last one. This one was tough, mainly because there were so many ways I could go about writing the plot line. But I came up with one that'll have to work. ^^' So, let's continue.
Yay. ^^
You sit up trying to hide that you're nervous. Seto and Yugi just stand there looking at you. You can't take their stares and you avert your gaze. You turn back quickly when you hear a loud slam. You see Seto looking at you the palms of his hands on the base of your duel car. You back away to the wall a bit and then you think that it could be possible for you to keep your cover. "Mr. Kaiba-" you say using your accent, but you're cut off. "~~~~~!?" Seto is glaring at you. "You promised me it wasn't you, you lied to me, and not only that, your stunt up there!" Seto says pointing to where you jumped. "You could've been killed." Yugi jumps in with an angry, but concerned tone. Seto looks at Yugi out of the corner of his eye as if a warning to watch it. You still want to attempt to keep your secret so you begin to speak again, "I don't-" This time, you can't believe what happened. Your face turns, the side of it burning with pain and your eyes grow shocked. 'Seto...just...he just hit me...' you think to yourself. Now you're just staring into space, not able to believe he just did that. "Kaiba that's enough!" Yugi says cutting in beside Seto. Seto stands and looks at Yugi and says angrily, "Back off Yugi." "Seto, don't even think you're the only one who cares about ~~~~~." Seto glares at Yugi for a long time and then a low, pin drop sound of a tear drop is heard hitting the cart. Seto turns to face you realizing he went to far. "~~~~~..." Yugi tries to talk to you but it's no use. You slowly pick up your hand and touch your face, feeling the stingy pain radiate through it as you do. You feel almost a betrayal feeling. Anger is rising in you and out of no where you turn your gaze at Seto, glaring at him indignantly. You stand up on the car and continue your glare, tears still falling. "Fine, you win." You say and rip of your face coverings to reveal yourself, your hair falling around you into place. "Are you happy Seto?" You say, with a hurt, tearful expression. Seto and Yugi both begin to say something, they can see the mark on your face from the hit, but before they can get a word out, you've jumped down to the platform and have started running across back towards the jet.
He...hit me?! >=O
~The Gang~
They watch as you run out all of them still so amazed that it was actually you. Joey walks up now and says, "That jerk Kaiba...he had no right to hit her like that..." They all nod in agreement. Yugi is walking over now and Tristan says, "Yeah, but she did hide her identity from everyone..." He's still staring at the door. Yugi is silent for a while listening to his friends converse on the matter. Then, he says, "I just wonder how she got through all the securities. I mean, if Seto Kaiba didn't want her to join then I'm sure he would've...blocked it...or something..." There's another nod of agreement from everyone in the group, except from Duke, who is standing sheepishly afraid to tell how he helped you. Serenity is the first to notice it and asks, "Duke, why are you...ummmm..." then Tea says suspiciously, "Cowering away..." Serenity looks at Tea and says, "Yeah, that's it, I didn't know how to describe it." Everyone's eyes are on Duke now and he knows he might as well get it over with and say it. "Yugi I'm sorry...I would've known it would've happened like this, I never would've...eh...ummmm..." "Do what?" Joey asks. "Duke..." Yugi begins, "You didn't enter ~~~~~ in the contest from your shop did you?" Yugi already knows he did, so the nod from Duke was meaningless. "I gave her my duel disc and we changed the information...and all that..." There's a silence in the group and then a disapproving scoff and muttering are heard going towards the door. The group all turn to see Seto Kaiba just about to reach the doors. "You know," Serenity breaks the silence, "I think its horrible that she wasn't allowed to enter. I mean why not?" Yugi looks at her, but it's Tristan who answers her, "Serenity, there are some awful people after her though." "So, what does it matter? If you would've just let her enter you'd always know where she was and she wouldn't have had to do all these things." The group takes her words in and Joey says, "Yeah, I agree with Serenity. I mean these things have tracking devices in 'em, I'm sure of that." Joey says lifting his duel disc. Yugi nods and says quietly, "I guess Seto and I were so concerned about everything we didn't think about it that way...we shouldn't have restricted her, and this whole situation is to blame on us if you think about it." Yugi is staring blankly at the floor at this point. "Yug, I wouldn't worry too much about it, she won't be mad for long, besides, you didn't do anything to her like Kaiba did." Yugi is going to nod, but then he remembers that just before the tournament he and ~~~~~ had a moment and they were fighting...and it never really got resolved...(If you don't remember, it was the time when they got in the fight that ~~~~~ couldn't continue...what they were doing...because she had feelings for Seto, which she does, well, you might not, lol, but your character is neutral to both at this point, well maybe not now...ok...well...that probably messed you up...^^; Sorry...let's continue...)
~You~
You run past Mokuba and the gang and ignore that Marik even exists for the time being. You run onto the jet and without even knowing you make it right to your room without any problems. You get inside and lock the door and run to the bed and flop down on it. "~~~~~," your past self says to you in an empathetic voice, "You can't get upset over this. I know Seto Kaiba hit you, but you're going to face Marik, for real this time." She comes over and sits on the bed beside you. There's a moments silence before she begins again. "Use this," you look at her confused, "Use it to help fuel your anger towards Marik. After all this whole entire mess is his fault, well, not him per say, but the evil spirit who has completely taken over him, but that's beside the point." ~~~~~ is still looking at her past self confused at what she said. "Hey! I got you to calm down!" Your past self says jokingly. You laugh a bit and then just smile. "So, you've got to ignore what's just happened. It'll help feed your fight in the match with Marik and I'm sure things will get patched up with Seto and Yugi afterwards. Besides all that, y'know...they only are like that because they care for you." You laugh a bit. "Yeah, I know, but there was no reason to go that far with it...Seto, that is." Your past self sighs. "Yeah, I know. He had a terrible temper in the past when he found out that I hide my identity." You two laugh at the minor joke. Your eyes are starting to droop from tiredness and your past self says, "You get some rest, I'll stay here and I'll wake you up for your match. You nod and close your eyes.
Hey Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream, make him the cutest that I've ever seen...
You're in 'sleep mode for about five minutes, when there's a knock at the door. The person on the other side waits for a few moments and then after no reply they knock again, this time saying your name. Your past self is sitting in the chair not expecting anyone to come through the door because its locked and from the voice she can tell it's Seto Kaiba. There's another long pause then your past self is startled when she hears buttons being pushed. She looks at you sleeping and doesn't know what to do. 'It'd could be good or bad either way...' your past self thinks. Before she can make a final decision on the matter the door opens. Seto comes in and locks the door behind him. He stops for a second when he sees you lying there, he wants to see if you're really sleeping and also...he can see the mark on your face. He cautiously walks over to the bed and stands over you for a moment, watching you sleep. He heard everything that Yugi and the gang had talked about before he left and now he was thinking it over to himself. His thoughts are interrupted though by a second knock on the door. "~~~~~, its me Yugi...can I come in?" Seto stares at the door. There's a pause and then Yugi says, "~~~~~, I'm sorry that I got angry with you...it was just that I was afraid...afraid that you'd get hurt." Another pause. "~~~~~, you don't have to open the door...I know you're mad, I just hope we can talk, before you battle Marik...so that you don't have to go into the match fueled by hatred..." Your past self is looking at the door, intrigued by his last statement. 'I think that being fueled by anything is fine...' she refutes to herself. "~~~~~, I've got to go give Joey support, I'll...I'll wait for you..." Yugi waits a few more seconds and then he leaves. Seto stands there looking at you for a second and then he walks around to the opposite side of the bed. He quietly eases himself next you, he doesn't want you to wake up and be angry at him. He wraps his arm around you and closes his eyes. There's a long pause in time as he lays there and then he whispers in your ear, "I'm so sorry...I know I went too far, but you don't know what it was like, not knowing if you were 'Rain' or not and never knowing if you were safe..." Seto opens his eyes now and stares at the wall. He stays there for a few more minutes and then he puts his forehead to yours closes his eyes, lip says something to you and gets up off the bed. He stops before the door and turns and looks at you, his piercing blue eyes softening as they fall on your bruise and then he leaves, the door still locked on the inside.
Hmmmm...
"~~~~~, ~~~~~ wake up." You open your eyes that blur from sleep. "What is it?" you ask irritated that you were woken up. Then you remember, "Oh, I forgot, I have to go now?" You ask. "Yeah, the duel didn't end yet, but you should be up there, well, it'll take you a while to get up there." You nod and then say, "Was...was someone in here?" She looks at you and decides not to tell you anything. "You'd best get going." You nod and yawn and get up. You go to the bathroom and wash your face a bit and head to the door. "You're not coming?" you ask curiously. "No, if I come with you I chance getting caught again, besides you don't really need me there. I'm more a weakness to you than anything." she smiles weakly at you. "C'mon, that's not-" She cuts you off and says, "I was just kidding, go ahead. You're going to be late." You a bit longer and then leave. Your past self goes to the window and says to herself in a whisper, "I am weaker than you..." She stares for a bit longer and then punches the window sill...
Ok, well that's where I'm ending it. Ciao for now, hope you enjoyed it. Heh. ^^;
^^Till later.
Hoozah. I got another one done. ^^'
