Umm, Hi! woohooo! I made my first fanfiction on I've got more so maybe I'll get it up for you. (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Danny Phantom, Pokemon) I'd be the first with just a regular Pokemon I think...well, whatever. This one's a Seto Kaiba one and yes the main caracter is my OC as are her brothers so here's my disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the charaters, if I did, Tea/Anzu would be dead and Mia and Joey would be together.
I think that's enough out of me for now just read and enjoy!
Fire
Alexandria Darling lay awake on the eve of her 16th birthday. She stared at the ceiling, counting the dots, not wanting to remember any of it. Her brother, Jacob, not being able to make the party. Her boyfriend from Osaka whom she had to break up with yesterday because she was moving to Tokyo. All the friends she had to leave behind, none of them even wishing her a happy birthday. "You'll make new friends." Her father had said. "There are plenty of fish in the sea." Mom…always looking of the positive side of things. And her brother Eric, he had said, "They're all losers anyway, we can be totally new people of we wanted to." "If we're someone we're not, doesn't that make us the losers?" She had thought. But what really haunted her, was the real estate agent's last words to them, "I wouldn't have been the one to but this house. It's going to burn down soon." What did he know anyway? They still bought the house, the biggest one they've ever lived in, that made her parents proud. She sniffed the air and could swear there was a faint smell of smoke. Probably just that guy messing with her head. She turned over and fell asleep.
Five minutes later, or maybe five hours, she awoke and realized she had to use the bathroom. She slowly got out of bed, careful of her unpacked suitcases and walked sleepily down the hall. When she finished, she realized she was thirsty, too. So she walked farther down the hall and smelt something funny, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it… and it started to get hard for her to breathe. Then it hit her. "Fire…" She ran down the hall and flew into Eric's room. "GET UP! THERE'S A FIRE!" "Go back to bed…" he mumbled. "Eric! Please! We have to save Mom and Dad!" he rolled over Stupid! She ran back into her room and grabbed her blowhorn. She ran back in his room and blew it in his ear "Get you lazy butt up!" She yelled when he fell to the floor. "Why!" he wined. "There's a damn fire!" "Fine. I'll play along. Show me this 'fire'." "Fine. I so don't have time for this!" She grabbed his wrist and led him down the hall. When they got far enough, "Whoa! We gotta tell Mom and Dad!": "Thank you!" They ran to the stairs, but couldn't go up. "Eric! What're we gonna do!" She wanted to grab a tank of water and put out the fire slowly crawling down the steps. "Grab your suitcases and anything think you need. Five minutes. Meet me at the front door." "Kay." Was all she said as she ran to her room.
Five minutes later she was at the door waiting for her brother. "Eric! cough, cough Come on! Before cough I get hit with a serious cough case of stupidity and cough try to save cough Mom and Dad!" cough, cough, cough, cough "I'm right here, Alex!" He grabbed a few suitcases and the car keys. She grabbed the blankets and the remaining suitcases. They put the suitcases in the trunk of the car and pulled it out of the driveway. After calling 911, the stood on the curb opposite the house, wrapped in the blankets, watching for any sign of their parents. Alex wrapped her arms around Eric and buried her face in his chest. He placed his arm around her and his head on hers, praying for daylight.
(Switch from 3rd person to 1st person.)
"Miss…Miss." someone gently shook me awake. It was one of my new neighbors. "Huh?" I was in the back of the car. "What happened?" "That's what they're about to explain." He helped me out of the car and I saw the burnt remains of a house and it all came back to me "Eric!" I cried and ran to him. I had never seen him look so grim. "What happened." I demanded from the officer next to us. He just shook his head and walked away. "Eric! What happened!" I already knew. Not that hearing it from my brother would make it any better. I just want to hear him say they were fine. "They're gone, Alex." And there they were. The two words I wasn't ready to face. "They can't be." He held out his hand wanting to give me something. "It was Mom's." I held out my hand to take it and he dropped a silver locket in me hands and walked away. I examined it, one side was partly charred from the fire, it covered the writing on the back. I didn't need to read it though, I had long since memorized what it had said.
"You're
never
alone.
Danny."
Dad had given in to Mom when they became engaged, over twenty years ago. Mom never wore it, it was so precious to her. I never got why. She also said there was a picture inside, but I never could open it. I latched it around me neck and walked to Eric, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Excuse me officer. Is there any way me brother and I could go? We have a long trip to take. "My voice cracked. He nodded. "If I could just get a number in case we need to contact you." Eric gave him his number. "Thank you, for everything." I got in the driver's seat of the car and Eric climbed in next to me. "Keys." I sniffled. I slowly pulled off the curb and worked my way to the highway. We were on our way to Domino City.
"Hey Joey, it's Alex. I know it's early, but call me as soon as you get this message. Kay? Love you. Bye."
"Morning Jacob. It's Alex. Just thought I'd call ahead to warn you that Eric and I are coming to visit, permanently. Call me back when you get a chance. Love you. Bye."
We were about 20 minutes outside of Domino and Eric was sleeping like a baby, he has a long night. My phone rang. Joey. "Hello?" "Um, hey. What's with the phone call so early this morning?"" "Well, besides Jacob, you're our closest living relative and with Eric and me moving to Domino…" "Whoa, wait, you're moving to Domino? Didn't you guys just move to Tokyo?" "…Yeah." "What happened?" "Our house burned down." "Oh. Sorry…So, You're going to Domino High?" "If it's not to late to get enrolled." "Nah. If you want, I could take you down there!" "Thanks Joey. Hey, I got to go. I've got another call." "Okay, talk to you later." "Yeah. See ya!" The line went dead and I pushed a button on my phone. "Hello?" "You're moving in!" "Ummm, yeah." "What! Why?" What about Mom and Dad?" "Jacob, we're orphans." The line was quiet. "Listen, I've already talked to Joey and we can go to Domino High. I know Eric's old enough that he doesn't need a guardian, but technically, one of you has to be mine, and you're the oldest and out of school, so…you are my legal guardian." Eric started to wake up. "I have to drive. Talk to Eric." I handed the phone to him. "Who is it?" "Jacob." He took the phone from me. "Hey big bro. How's it goin?" I took an exit, and didn't listen to the rest of that conversation.
A few minutes later, I pulled into a gas station where we filled up with gas and got a bite to eat. It was a little uncomfortable with people staring at us in our pajamas, so we stared right back and said an occasional, "Take a picture, it'll last longer."
Eric drove the rest of the way to Jacob's small house. Luckily, he was waiting for us and had two rooms made up. Man, am I glad a called ahead. We got settled and unpacked our suitcases, glad we hadn't at our last house. When I had finished my dinner, I went to my room and got out the diary that my mom had gotten for me for my birthday and I spilled about everything and how grateful I was to survive. I fell asleep early because of the lack of sleep from the previous day and from fatigue. Tomorrow's a new day, the day Joey would take me to enroll in my new school, Domino High and it would also be the day Jacob went to get a new job, he was hoping for Kaiba Corp.
Hope you liked it I've been working on it all weekend! hehe...my bf's name is Eric...Anyway! R&R. I think I'll go work on their middle names, which you can help with if you want. Love you all, in a friend kinda way. Buh bye!
