Unfinished Symphony
Disclaimer: NO plain in simple I don't own it. 'IT' I mean Yu-Gi-Oh. What did you think I meant?
Note: This is the sequel to Can't Buy Me Love. So if you didn't read that story first I say you read it first before you start reading this, but I'm not going to stop you if you do. Just don't say I didn't warn you if you get all confused as the story progresses. Also this story is a bit darker than the first. Still I hope you like it and review it!!!!
Chapter I: The Sweet Sound of Music.
Nikko went to school the same as she always did for the past six months. She never did bother to think back after what happen with Kaiba. Even though at first it was hard things soon went back to normal, or what so Nikko thought, but things never do change they just move forward.
Nikko walked into the building of Domino High and went to her locker to gather her books. She soon met up with Yugi, the others, and Anzu who she remembered speaking to on that day that happened so long ago.
She walked into the classroom and sat at her desk preparing to study for the exams, which were soon to come up. One thing she didn't know that she had a lot more to worry about than exams in the future.
Kaiba soon entered the classroom with his usual indifferent demeanour, and his impenetrable sapphire eyes. He sat down at his desk and like the other students got out his books, acting like he the only one in the room. Kaiba also by the way of his actions had moved on and went back to being who he was before everything had happened. Kaiba didn't know that his life would continue to twist and turn in a menacing circle.
Sumoji sensei entered the room and as he scanned it everyone sat down and quietened down as he called out roll call.
The class settled down to work as the day slowly progressed to noon, which at that time lunch was called. Everyone left the class to make their way to the cafeteria.
Nikko and everyone else sat at the table while starting to eat there lunch, when Jounouchi broke the silence, "What's wrong with everyone lately? I hardly hear anyone talk anymore."
Honda just shook his head, "Well, some people here actually want to finish school. It's close to exam period and all, or are you going to cram at the last minute like you usually do?"
Jounouchi just looked at him and shrugged, "What's wrong with that?"
Honda just shook his head again and continued eating, "I give up!"
Anzu brightened up the conversation by asking, "How has it been working on the paper all year?"
Nikko finished eating her sandwich and replied, "Oh it's been great. I may even get a scholarship to a University!"
Anzu gasped excitedly, "That's great!"
Yugi nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's so good for you!"
Everyone went back to eating for the moment as they felt a weird but familiar presence near them.
Jounouchi looked around to find that Kaiba just passed by their table as he made his way to his usual spot. He growled as he replied, "Kaiba that bastard. He just walks around like he owns everything."
Honda asked wondering, "What was that for Jounouchi? It's not like he said anything to you just then."
Jounouchi looked down at his lunch as he replied back picking up his sandwich, "No, it's just the feeling you get whenever he's around. It's like everything is his."
Nikko didn't bother to pay attention to the conversation, as she didn't want to get in to it. Kaiba was a thing of the past, he didn't matter to her anymore, maybe it was different one time, but what would it matter now.
Nikko left the table early to grab her notes for the next class. As she walked down the hallway towards her locker she passed by the music room and noticed someone practicing the violin. The sweet melody of it could be heard all down the hallway.
Nikko recognized the music the violin was playing and whispered to herself, "Pachabel's Canon." She continued to walk down the hallway still hearing the melody, but she found the further she went away from it the louder the sound came.
She heard a whisper in the air saying unfamiliar things; she became frightened as she ran down the hallway trying to escape the sound. The sound became so loud that she could hardly see where she was going and found herself slamming into another person falling to the ground.
The sounds of the persons voice made the music stop and then she realized what happened. She didn't respond back as she looked around herself to see where she was.
The voice called out again, "Are you ok?"
Nikko looked up to find Kaiba looking at her perplex, as he spoke again, "Do you need help?" He extended his hand to help her up as she accepted it.
Nikko didn't look at Kaiba when she thanked him. She just walked off with a strange look on her face, leaving Kaiba confused as he walked off.
She walked down the hallway still feeling pale as she made her way towards her locker, and grabbed her things for the next class. She decided to go to the class early to get a head start on her work.
Yugi noticed her as everyone else made his or her way in. He went up to her and asked, "Are you ok, Nikko? You didn't come back?"
Nikko just smiled and replied, "I'm fine. I just wanted to finish some work early."
Yugi smiled and nodded as he made his way towards his seat and sat down.
Nikko opened up her book to a different subject when the class started. As she opened the book she found something that shocked her, for written all over it was, 'Despair follows troubled'. She stared in disbelief as she tried to gasp but no words came out.
She stared at it as the words burn themselves into the book. She couldn't handle what she saw as she shut the book loudly. The teacher heard and made his way towards her and asked, "What was that for?"
Nikko faced down as she said sorrowfully, "Gomen."
The teacher left her as she stared at the book with fright not knowing what would happen if she opened it again. She took a deep sigh as she opened it slowly and found that the words had disappeared. She looked again in disbelief as she turned the pages of her book. What was happening? She didn't understand.
She thought out the words in her mind again, 'Despair follows troubled.' What does it mean?
Not too far away Kaiba looked over to find her looking distraught, 'I wonder what's wrong? I shouldn't think about it, it's probably nothing. She's just a useless girl.' He turned his attention back to his work.
Nikko went home early from school; since today wasn't the day she had a newspaper meeting. She walked up the stairs slowly to her room and when she entered it after putting her bag away, she laid on the bed.
Slowly the events of the day surfaced to her mind. What had happened, first the music, then the book. What did it all mean?
She made her way towards her desk and opened up her new laptop, which really wasn't new, it was an old one of her fathers. She wanted to get a head start on writing the paper that needed to be done for next week.
Kaiba sat at his desk typing up the usual business reports that needed to be done for Kaiba Corp. He had found lately that the board were more pressed on his work, so he took extra care in making sure his work was done to the letter, even if it took all night.
As he sat there typing he thought about how frightened Nikko was when she bumped into him. It was like she was running from someone or something, but from where he saw no one was chasing her. So what scared her so much, and why didn't she hear him when he was talking to her? It was like she was in another world.
As he continued to type he thought why should I care? It's not like were friend's. One time maybe, but that was long ago and I don't have time to think about the past.
He returned his thoughts back to stocks and price quotes as he typed mercilessly on the keyboard. Just right then a figure with dark hair popped from behind the door and entered the room, as he sat on the couch and stared at his brother.
Mokuba looked at Kaiba who was lost in another world and said, "Hello, niisama."
Kaiba recognized the voice and looked up from his computer and said, "Hello Mokuba."
Mokuba walked up to Kaiba and hugged him as Kaiba returned back the hug. Mokuba looked at him and asked, "Why do you spend so much time lately working?"
It hurt Kaiba very much to hear Mokuba say that. He sighed as he responded back, "I have no choice. It's the board; they're watching my every move. If I even make one little mistake they'll see it as fault and take over. You understand Mokuba, how much I don't want them to get their hands on this company? You know what will happen if they get control of it? They'll turn Kaiba Corp. back to what it was before I took over. Then all my hard work, all my accomplishment of turning this company around from what it used to be, it'd be meaningless. Like it never mattered."
Mokuba hugged him again and replied with sympathy, "I understand niisama. You worked too hard to get this company to what it is now, you can't bare to have it become what it was before."
Kaiba smiled a rare smile as he ruffled Mokuba's dark hair and went back to work.
Nikko was typing at her computer when the screen went off suddenly. She tried to turn it back on again but to no avail. She heard soft music in the background and recognized it to be Pachabel's Canon. She ran out of the room and down the stairs to see if her parents were playing it.
She saw her mother in the kitchen making dinner but no music on, yet she still heard it. She went into the living room to see if the CD player was on, but it wasn't, not even her father was watching TV he was still at work. She ran back to her room trying to cover her ears to no advantage for she still heard it.
She went into her room and found herself staring at the computer in terror. For what she found was the computer has turned itself back on, and written on the screen in bold black letters was the word, 'TROUBLED'.
