SK:…you moron
A tall, lean brunette haired girl stood patiently at the pier. A mixed jumble of emotions ran through her. She hadn't seen her in a long time. Was she going to be different since she saw her last? A lot had happened in these past few years.
Especially to her.
The girl who was waiting had entered high school and had made friends with Yugi, Joey and Tristan. Yugi beat Seto Kaiba in a game of Duel Monsters, which made him a star overnight. After an odd invitation, the gang had traveled to Duellist Kingdom, to rescue Yugi's grandfather from Maximillion Pegasus. He had stolen his grandpa's soul using his Millennium eye, which sounded crazy even to her. Mainly Yugi and Joey did the duelling, while she and Tristan cheered them on. They had finally got him back, when the group of friends had found out that Seto Kaiba's executives had trapped him in a virtual video game. They had to play the part of heroes yet again to rescue the rich CEO, much to his disdain.
And of course, she had met Yami, the spirit who resided in Yugi's millennium puzzle, who was still much of a mystery to her. His mind was like a cryptic labyrinth, which wasn't surprising since even he didn't really know much of who he was, or how in the world he ended up inside the puzzle in the first place. He looked young, with his striking amethyst eyes and spiky tri coloured hair, but his voice held a great tone of wisdom and power, that was well beyond his years.
Well, actually, it really isn't I guess. I mean according to that tablet at the museum Yami is actually a pharaoh, who existed around 5000 years ago.
She and Yami had visited the Museum yesterday, and uncovered a bit more of his past. He was once an Egyptian pharaoh, who had somehow gotten his soul trapped in that puzzle. But many answers still shrouded in mist, and yet to be uncovered.
And to top it all off, Ishizu, an Egyptian woman with remarkable azure orbs, foretold the future with her golden Millennium Necklace at the museum and warned them of yet another new evil.
The girl sighed. It seemed that when one bad, wicked guy was defeated, another comes up from nowhere.
The sun was setting on the urban city, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. The cool sea breeze ran through the girl's short locks, making it flutter a little. The sea stood calmly, as if it was peaceful and content.
The blue eyed girl started to grow impatient. Where on earth was her cousin?
Maybe something happened to her? She thought worriedly but the n chuckled. Nah, she was always a person who was late I guess that hasn't change-
Her thoughts were interrupted as a loud horn like sound rang through the evening air. In the distance, she spotted a white ship,that seemed to glide through the water.
Tea grinned excitedly. Her cousin had finally arrived.
I slowly climbed down the steps of the ship, careful not to lose my footing. I had a history of tripping over things, and let me tell you, I wasn't about to let my first steps in Domino City result in a fallen heap on the floor. Plus, the constant swaying of the ship didn't help either. Man, was I glad to get off that thing. Two seconds into the whole ride, I was almost sick.
"HEY! OVER HERE ZARA!"
At the sound of that oh- so familiar voice, I did something so me- like. I slipped. And fell flat on my face. Hard.
Ouch.
I could just tell that Tea was sweat dropping, even with my face planted in the ground. Call it, cousin telepathy or something.
"Nice to see you too, Tea" I muffled, my face still firmly slammed against the cold, hard pier. "Now, if you're done staring, would you please find it in your heart to help me up?"
Rolling her eyes, my dancer cousin pulled me out of my kiss to the floor, and dusted my jeans.
"Glad to know, that you're still the same old weirdo" Tea said, her bright blue eyes shining with happiness as she gave me a hug.
I patted her head, cringing a little. I was never really good with sentimental and huggy huggy stuff. It was just so...I don't know...awkward? Sorry for the lack of a better term. I guess people could call me insensitive, but that's not really it. I just don't know how to react, that's all.
Maybe it's because of that incident.
It's turned me into an awkward heap.
"You can let go of me now" I mumbled. "Don't worry, I'll still be here when you let go."
As my cousin stepped away smiling, I immediately noticed the changes. Her once long chocolate brown hair was now short and petite. She was also a lot taller than I remember. I guess that's what happens when you dance. Maybe I should take it up...nah too much work.
"So Tey Tey, what's up?" I grinned.
"Nothing, really. Battle City is starting soon."
"...Battle City?"
" A Duel Monsters tournment. The whole city is going to be filled with duels"
Duel Monsters. That card game. My brother was obsessed with it. He almost had a heart attack when he found out that I was friends with the famous Yugi Moto himself. Wow, it was hard to believe that both Yugi and Joey were now such famous people. Well, not exactly Joey, but he DID come second in that Kingdom tournament thingy. The game was interesting enough, and I do duel a little, but in all honesty, I'm not that good. I love watching them because, yes they were very entertaining, but that Heart of the Cards thing never really worked for me.
I have no idea how Yugi does it.
He just happens to pull out the right card at the right time.
And then there is me who prays that a kick butt Lightning Vortex would get drawn out of my deck and even shouts "I BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF THE CARDS! PLEASE, GUIDE ME!"" for good measure.
I pull out a midget Kuriboh instead.
Honestly Yug probably has a superpower. I haven't seen him, Joey or Tristan for ages, so who knows?
"So who is hosting this big event anyway?" I questioned. "Is it Peggy again?"
Tea rolled her eyes yet again. Was that a new habit of hers? "Oh gosh, Zara, you haven't changed have you? You still give people nicknames. Well actually, one thing that's different is your hair. It's much more longer and….fuzzier"
I groaned, and consciously batted it down. "I was just born this way. The hair just NEVER stays in one place. LIKE, NEVER! Just little bits floating everywhere like…I don't know...can't think anymore. Blame it on the boat ride. Anyway cuz, did you want me to change?"
"Yes. Very much so. And to answer you question before which you've clearly forgotten that you asked in the first place, Kaiba's running it."
I frowned and because she was right, I elbowed her. Yeah, you can call that my habit. Hitting people. You know, when they insult me. Sakura much, you may ask? Yeah maybe a little. I guess I have a tendency to hit things, be selfish and get jealous easily. I'm sorry, okay! Sheesh.
"…and your spacing out again, aren't you?"
I glanced at Tea and gave her a quizzical look. "Did you say something?"
Tea sighed in exasperation. "Honestly what were you thinking about?"
"Just telling the readers about something."
"The readers?"
"…did I just break the Fourth Wall? AWESOME!"
The dancer sighed once again, shook her head and starting walking out of the pier. Her brown hair swayed in the breeze and her stride was fiiled with elegance of…a dancer I guess.
It always amazed me how different Tea and I were from each other. Tea can rock to a beat, while I just break it down like a demented donkey. Tea was sweet, caring and well…normal. I was loud, rambunctious and a little weird. Tea was graceful. I was as about as clumsy as a hippo trying to fly. I had darker skin than my cousin, and jet black fuzzy hair, as opposed to her light tone and brunette locks. Tea was slim and fit, and I was lazy as a sloth.
As they say, opposites sure do attract.
"Come on, Zara. Let's go."
I gazed up to the sky and smiled. It was start of a new life here. A refreshing start. The pieces were finally being placed together. It was a horizon of new possibilities and I was willing to take every opportunity I get and-
"Zara?"
"Tey! You just ruined my speech. It was beautiful! You should've heard it in my…head. Then you just had to go and-"
"Did you take your luggage from the ship?"
"…oops."
