Hall of Mirrors, part 1.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. If I did...well...not sure what I'd do. e_e It's my first at making these sort of things, so what if they stink?! On to the ficcy!
Silence and fog floated around the dark, cold, and empty building. Quiet footsteps could be heard padding around the mirrored hallway - if you were there. No-one dared to enter the building, since the last attack of a 'vampire' no-one had the courage to go in. None ever came out alive, but it wasn't the vampire's fault...was it?
Oh no, of course not, it couldn't be. The vampire was only trying to survive. As you or I would have killed an animal to stay warm and eat or drink. The way you slaughter a cow, the way you chop down a tree to make fires or paper to write - it all works out one way or another.
This vampire was different, though. This vampire was a mere girl. She did not age. She wasn't hundreds or thousands of years old, she wasn't a blood- lusted killer. She was just...just a girl. A girl - a normal student who went to school, once had a family, ate and drank as everyone else. Had a name, has an age, has an idenity - though poor and suspicious it may be. The sun didn't kill her, only stung slightly, but she appeared normal. She didn't own a coffin, or a haunted mansion; wore normal clothing and dressed like everyone else. Fangs she did have, but those were hidden. She hardly ever smiled...only a few times, though, did she lose control of herself.
Now, she was alone in this house of mirrors, at an abandoned fair. More as an abandoned fair, which now appeared to be a graveyard. One would think it would be horrifying, but to this girl, it was home. She knew no other place to return to. She was allowed no-where else. Here, she was protected because it was more difficult to see. If she stayed behind everyone they would never see her. Though there was a huge difference between her and other vampires, there were some things that remained the same. She had no reflection, and she did have fangs. Yet something else: an owner. She was ordered to stay here, but it was tough.
She hadn't had any blood from anyone else in awhile, although she didn't need it. Her kind only took blood from others when they needed it. And to her, she didn't need it if it would hurt anyone. She hated causing other people pain, and to other of her kind, she didn't deserve to be one of them. Yet born a vampire she was, and forever to remain. How long it would last she didn't know, she just knew she was there. What purpose of being alive was unknown, though. Maybe she would find it sooner or later, but wondering when she should be off to school was unacceptable, though.
So she grabbed her backpack, rose from her position against the mirrored wall, and took off running towards the school. She left earlier than most, mostly because today was her first day at school. That, and she lived farther than hardly anyone who went there - and to appear normal and be on time, she had to leave early.
In about half an hour she made it despite the fact that she was running. Maybe it was farther than she thought. She was in such a hurry that she ran into someone, a certain someone she would meet time and time again later on. The certain someone was Yugi Mouto.
The impact nearly knocked her back, but she simply backed off a few steps. No-one should be that weak, and she didn't want to seem it either. Giving an apologetic grin down at him, she fidgeted nervously. "Sorry about that, I was in a hurry to get to my class..." the class she still couldn't find, which was why she was wandering around hopelessly.
The mini teen didn't seem to be bothered at all, and just shrugged it off, standing. "It's okay! Hey, are you that new student that's supposed to be coming in? You don't look familiar...er...Sess, was it?" Keeping a smile on his face, he ignored the voice within signaling that something was wrong - very wrong. Something was different about this girl.
"Ah...yeah, I am! Surprised ya could tell the difference, most people don't care. Can ya direct me to History class?" Keeping her fangs covered wasn't that big a deal when talking anymore, she had loads of practice by talking to her reflection in the mirror. Talking quietly and appearing to be a shy, polite girl kept everything normal. Just...when you seemed as shy and quiet as her, it would scare some people.
A/N: Getting off subject. XD BTF (Back to ficcy!)
Grinning, he nodded. "Of course! I just need to wait for my friends, and I can show you! Class doesn't start that early when new students arrive." Of course, as he said this, the usual group happened to wander up.
A greeting of "Hey Yug'!" and "Hi Yugi" and so on came forth, but none seemed to noticed the girl. Or...so she thought. When the group was chatting away fro a few minutes, she found her locker which was conviently right behind her (or...rather, coincidentally), and was shoving a few things in. Of course, naturally, her kind cast no reflection - and this attracted a little attention.
Tea was first to point it out, but spoke in tiinnyy little whispers that Sess had no reflection. Sess heard her perfectly well, and frowned slightly, but the usual polite grin came up and you wouldn't notice. She ignored the whispers and stares behind her, and turned with her History class books in hand. "What...? Somethin' wrong?"
"Ah...|er...|well...|ya don't...have-| um, you don't have a..." After a few minutes of stammering, everyone shut up as she wanted them too, without her asking. It made her uncomfortable being around people because of this, because if they saw her without a reflection, they stammered and got freaked. Surprising, to Sess, none of them ran off. Oh well.
As told, she was taken to class by the group, and waited patiently outside before the teacher called her name to be introduced. Stepping in, she gave a smile and a little wave. "So, tell us about yourself, Sess...er...?" "Minasona." "Yes, Ms. Minasona."
"Alright!" Brushing a few loose strands of hair away so her right eye could see, she thought a few lines through in a seconds. "You can all call me Sess. It's my first time here in Domino City, and it's nice to meet you all. I'm sort of living by my self, but I'm allowed to do that, so I make my own decisions. Er...I have a dog named Blitz, who is waiting outside the school right now, and...I can't think of anything else." ^.^
"That's very nice." The teacher had given her a strange look when she mentioned she 'sort of lived by herself', but none more or less. Given permission to take her seat, Sess sat in the very back, in the shadows, where the light wouldn't make her skin feel like fire. So far, the class had gone well. No-one had really discovered her secret, but even so, something made her nervous. It was when she got near that boy...Yugi. Something was odd about him, but...what...?
