Her Story: As the title states, Olivia is considered Seto Kaiba's "ray of light" because in the orphanage, he considered her his only friend. After she was adopted, Olivia was forced to say goodbye to him and Mokuba and hasn't seen them since. Like the brothers, she has a locket around her neck that's shaped like a Duel Monsters card, but with a picture of the brothers inside.
Seto Kaiba's Ray of Light Part 1: A New Residence
I sighed as I finally unloaded the last box from the moving truck.
"Well, that's the last of it. Thanks for helping me."
"No problem."
I smiled as Yugi Moto smiled back at me. Not long after I arrived in Domino, I met Yugi and had gotten to know him. When he heard the apartment building I was to live in would be demolished, he offered me to stay in his grandfather's old room. Grandpa Moto has passed on recently, leaving Yugi the game shop and all within it. I had questioned his offer since he didn't know me very well, but he said he had a good feeling about me and trusted me.
"Well, the unpacking is done. What should we do now?"
"Not really sure, Olivia. Want a tour of the town?"
"I did used to live here before I moved to America with my adopted father, but perhaps things had changed since I was last here."
"It's a 'yes', then. Let's go."
During the tour of Domino, Yugi provided me with some history. He told me of how he dueled here during the Battle City Tournament, he showed me his old high school where he first met Joey and Tristan, and he also showed me Duke Devlin's game shop.
"Wow. I'd forgotten how big the city was. It seems so different compared to when I was a child."
"Things tend to change with time, whether it's places or people."
"Definitely."
"Yugi!"
We both turned as we saw Joey, Tristan, and Tea running up to us. Before they got here, I glanced at Yugi and kept my voice low.
"Whatever you do, don't tell them of my secret, Yugi."
"Huh? Why not?"
"I want them to see what they think of me before they find out. If I tell them now, who knows what would happen?"
Yugi sighed and faced forward again.
"I didn't react negatively when you told me, Olivia. I highly doubt they'll think less of you if you told them."
"I'm just not ready to tell them yet, okay?"
He smiled and nodded once.
"It's your choice to make. Just know I'll stand behind your decision."
"Thanks, Yugi."
Joey smiled as he put an arm around his best bud.
"Hey, Yug. What's up?"
"I'm just giving Olivia a tour of the town. What are you guys up to?"
Tea sighed and brushed hair out of her face.
"We wanted to tell you about a press conference Kaiba is about to have at Kaiba Corp. We ran into him earlier and he insisted you be there to hear what he had to say."
"Huh?"
"I know, man. We're just as surprised as you are."
Tristan looked at his watch and his eyes widened.
"Guys, it's about to start. Let's head over there."
Once at Kaiba Corp., we saw a small crowd of reporters were gathered at the front entrance, surrounding a podium where a tall, brown haired man was standing. He seemed familiar to me, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. The man approached the microphone and began speaking.
"I asked you all here to this press conference to announce an event my company will be hosting. The name of this event will be called the Kaiba Corp. Charity Ball. This event will feature a buffet full of gourmet foods, dancing, and a silent auction. The proceeds from this auction will be given as donations to the Domino City Orphanage. This event is invitation only and said invitations will be sent out within a day or two. As a special treat, I'll be having a special item up for auction. Whoever puts in the highest bid will get the chance to duel the King of Games himself, Yugi Moto."
Yugi gasped as the man looked over to him and smirked. That caught the reporters' attention and they started taking pictures of him.
"So Yugi, what do you say? Will you help a noble cause?"
A big smile formed on Yugi's face as he nodded.
"If it's to help the children of the city, you bet, Kaiba! I'd be honored to attend!"
"It's settled, then. The charity ball will be held in two weeks time, so keep an eye out for invitations. That's all for now."
Once Kaiba went back inside, the crowd of reporters disappeared. Tristan slugged Yugi in the arm as a goofy grin appeared.
"So Yugi, looks like you're going to a ball."
"I guess so. I must admit I'm a little nervous, Tristan. I mean, I've never done anything like this before."
Tea smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Just don't worry about it, Yugi. Think about how many children will benefit from someone bidding on a duel with you. It's all for a good cause, after all."
"Yes, you have a good point. Well, looks like I'll have some shopping to do."
"Eh, don't worry about it, Yug. You'll have me and Tristan helping."
I looked at Tea, who looked back at me.
"Those two have fashion sense?"
"Not since the last time I checked."
"Hey, I heard dat."
I giggled and looked back at Kaiba Corp. I couldn't shake the feeling that the man at the podium seemed familiar to me. Tea looked at me as I grasped the locket around my neck.
"Something wrong?"
"Hmm? Oh, just...thinking of the past. A picture of some old friends of mine from the orphanage are in here. I haven't seen them since I was adopted at age 12."
"You haven't seem then in 10 years?!"
Her outburst caused the boys to look over at us. I nodded sadly and looked at Yugi, who looked at me with sympathy.
"I convinced my adopted father to go back so I can visit them, but they had been adopted not long after I was."
"Wow, Olivia. That must be awful."
"It hurts sometimes, but not like it used to."
I grasped the locket even tighter in my hand, not knowing the effect I was causing.
What effect is Olivia referring to? Well, you'll have to read part 2 to find out. It'll all be in Seto's POV, so stay tuned :D
