E3 Foxu's Story E3
My story begins as I was sitting alone during a welcoming party. My father had hired fifty new employees and was throwing a huge bash in their honor, well his real intentions were for some cheap publicity. Which of course he got. The only reason I was there was because the nanny had quit only a few hours before, leaving my father with little choice but to bring me along. I was examining the new recruits as another kid about the same age as myself came and sat next to me.
"Who are you, and what praytell are you doing?" I asked her, annoyed by her presence.
"Don't be such a grouch! Why don't you lighten up! My name is Mai, whats yours?" She said in a shrill annying voice.
I pushed her aside and stood up "Who are you to tell me what to do?!?!" I quickly retorted, angered by her infuriating commands.
I caught the eye of one of the security officers and he quickly came up behind here "Excuse me little miss! Is there a problem here?" he said in a kindhearted tone.
I clenched my fists as my eyes narrowed. My left eye twitched for a moment as I let the anger grow. I quickly turned to face the officer "Of course something is wrong! This insolent dog is insulting me as those embezzlers plot their betrayel!" I shot out pointing to a group of five of the new emplyees.
The entire room plunged into silence and all eyes were on me, but before the group could get a good look the officer swiftly covered my face and dragged me out of the building saying "I don't know how you got in here you little scamp!" As he drug me out.
He drug me into the empty hallway and threw me into an empty office "You'll stay here for the rest of the party! Your father will have a few choice words for you when its over!" He yelled at me.
He slammed the door and locked it.
My eyes widdened in realization of my predicement, and I tried to twist the door nob open to no avail. "Let me out of here!!" I screamed as I pounded on the door as hard as I could. Tear came streaming down as I continued to pound on the door, but after a few minutes I got horribly dizzy. i took a few steps from the door then fell to the ground. I breathed heavily as I slowly passed out.
I woke up what seemed to be moments later in an exsevily bright room. I took a few deep breathes then removed the oxegen mask from my face. I sat up and looked around the room, by the looks of it I was in a hospital. In the corner of the room I saw a man sleeping. He was one of my fathers security personel, undoutably here to keep an eye on me. I stepped out of the bed and grabbed my clothes which were on a chair next to the sleeping man.
After getting dressed I easily left the room, and snuck out of the hospital. It wasn't long before I found a opening to the subway. I took it to as close as It would go to my house, and walked the rest of the way. I climbed up a tree to get to my room, and stretched out on entering.
I turned on my television, and pressed down the volume so that none of the servants would find me. I flipped throught the channels untill I came on to one where a happy pink rabbit was jumping about the screen. I watched hapily untill at long last my father showed up at the door.
I snickered and turned off my TV. I krept up next to my door so I could here hat was going on...
"Arrrgh!" My father screamed in anger "When I get my hands on her...!" He yelled out again. I giggled to myself as he continued to huff and puff.
The I heard him stormming up the star twards my room. I looked around for someplace to hide, but I couldn't find anywhere. I quickly ducked behind my bed as the nob slowly turned. I held onto my knees and clossed my eyes tighty. Maybie...just maybie if I didn't see him he wouldnt see me.
I felt him walk up next to me. I felt so small as he loomed over my covering body.
He sighed deeply "What am I going to do with you?" He said, all the hatred gone from his voice.
My jaw dropped,and eyes opened. I looked up at him, teary eyed "Your, your not mad?" I squeked out.
He sat down on my bed, and padded the area next to him, gesturing for me to sit. I got up and sat down next to him, "Is something wrong?" I asked.
He looked into my eyes worridly and wraped his arm around me, "Fox...your not like other kids your age..." He started and then looked to the ground without the heart to finish.
My eyes widdened as I became quite worried myself "Daddy? Whats wrong??" I asked.
He rubbed my shoulder and sincuated himself nerviosly. He looked back at me and continued "your not indestructable. Your just...sick thats all. Your mother was the same way...she ignored it and thats why shes not here anymore...' He slowly mumbled.
I took a step back "you mean...I could've...how could you keep this from me?!?!" I asked, unsure what to think.
He stood up, "I'm sory." He said.
"Sorry?? Thats it!" I turned from him and folded my arms over my chest "Leave me alone, I have a lot to think about." I said angrily.
My father grew impatient and angry "Fine!" He yelled out then left my room slamming the door behind him.
I could barley stop myself from trembling as the wind from the door blew across my back. "I didn't mean it..." I said as tears came streaming down my face.
I turned twards the door quickly hoping somehow he heard me, but all I saw was the door. I chocked down on my own tears as i sat back down on my bed. I looked down at the floor trying to think, but nothing came. I watched the floor as I slowly cried to sleep...
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
After that my father and I didn't speak. I didn't feel any great need to be with him, and he apparently recipricated. My father got a new nanny, and she took care of me for a while, untill I got annoyed by her and fired her. I never told my father. I honestly don't know why the caretaker didn't say anything. He looked after the house, kept everything clean and neat, he could tell you how many ceilng tiles where in the main foyer and he undoutably noticed a certain lack of nanny.
This day started out like manny others, I walked to the Subway, and took a ride to my school. It was a ver small school, a special prep school only for the kids with at least seven digit in thier trust funds. It had the finest teachers and the finest facilities, but not neccesarily the finest students my self no particaular exeption.
The school day was nothing out of the orinary, untill the very last. I was preparing to leave for home as I heard some kids yelling from behind the corner of the building. I krept up and peered around the edge to see two older boys picking on one little kid. Without thinking I stepped out "Leave him alone!" I yelled out for the older kids to hear.
One of them pushed the little kid "Now you don't go away, or you'll really get it tomarrow!" he said, then the both of the came up to me.
Standing right next to them the age difference became quite clear. They were much taller then I was, and I gulped as I looked up to me. "What was that cutie?" one of the boys said as he looked down at me. He had a menacing feel about him, and a paralizing stare.
After a few moments the other boy grabbed my by the arm, and pulled me up so my feet couldn't reach the ground. "My friend here asked you a quistion, now arn't you going to answer?" He said as he clenched my arm tightly.
I tried to answer him, but I couldn't sum up the courage.
"Didin't your mother ever tell you not to pick on a girl?" I heard a voice ring out from behind me.
The boy who was holding me instantly let go and the two of them scurried off. "Wow..." I said under my breath, then turned to see who my savior was.
I saw a boy even older then the others, but still young enough for the school. The kid who was being picked on walked up behind me.
"Sato! Thank you so much for comming!" He said hapily in a raspy voice.
"Of course I came Mokuba." Sato replied in a more grown up, and monotone voice.
I blinked as I looked onto Sato "Who are you?"I asked
He gave me a quick look over and replied "I'm Sato Kaiba, and I supose I should be grateful." He said quietly.
"You? I anyone should be greatdull it should be me!" I said unready for such a responce.
He smirked, "You got any place you need to be?" He asked.
I looked up at him questionably. I tried to think of any reason why I should lie to him, but I coudn''t think of anything, "No, not really." I said.
He jerked his head in a motion pleading me to follow, then walked away. Mokuba quickly followed, and I decided I would go too.
We walked for a few block to an old storehouse. Its outsides were covered with old rusted tin. I felt disgusted as Sato entered the building, but I reluctantly entered the building. I gasped at the interiors of the building. It had beutiful hardwood floors and walls and even the ceiling. There were odd blue mats set up on the floor and some people were fighting on them. I had never seen anything like it before in my life. I spent a few mintues just standing and starring at the room. My asperations were uninterupted untill an old man yelled at my from across the room.
"Hey, you! No shoes in my Dojo!" The old man shot out.
I looked down at my shoes, then over to Sato and Mokuba who ha already taken their shoes off. I noticed an odd line of shoes by the door. I connected the dots and quickly took off my shoes and laid them at the end of the pile.
Sato walked up to the old man and they talked for a few moments as I looked on curiosly. When they were done the old man came up to me "I don't normally do this, but seeing your a friend of m greatest pupil, I'll let you try out for my Dojo! So what o you say, kid?" The old man said with a large smile.
"Um..." I said thinking "sure" I finished, not exactly sure what I had just agreed to.
The old man took me to one of the blue mats where a young man was waiting, "In order to join my Dojo you must fight with Kougi, and if your performance is good enough, your in!" The old man said, then taking me aside he eplained "Nothing below the belt, and no kicking! To start off the match walk to the center of the mat and bow to Kougi"
I took a deep breath and walked onto the pad Kougi was a lot taller then me, and didn't look like he was the type to go easy on me. I swallowed hard and bowed deeply and Kougi did the same.
Only a few moments after bowing Kougi took a swing for me. I quickly ducked out of the way and managed to get by him and get some room between us. Kougi spun around and came at me with his fist pulled back. My heart began to pound harder and harder, and I became a little dizz-like before. Not sure what to do I tried to get out of the way, but I half tripped! I caught myself wth my left arm and leg, but my right leg was streatched out. It was too late and Kougi tripped over my leg, and fell to the ground. I quickly got up and looked over him.
"That was amazing! You ave a natural talent for this! Come, come ets talk membership!" The old man said hapily as he dragged me into his office
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
I got set up with the Dojo, and I've been taking classes with Sato and Mokuba ever since. Me and Mokuba became fast friends! And I think I'm friends with Sato...with him its really hard to tell. Ever since then thigs have been going great for me, I managed to pull my grades in school make friends and I even got to know the caretaker better.
It was some time since then, Sato has already graduated and was in High School, and tonight it was my turn! I managed to pass my classes, and through dum luck come upon some honors. Like every year the graduation was going to be quite the bash, having nothing but the richest of the rich you can imagine the school was quite loaded. Master Crane from the Dojo even reluctantly agreed (before he found out about the free food) to come, and of course Sato and Mokuba will be there.
I was in the main bathroom getting ready. I hurridly put on my green dress. I had bought it just for this ocasion, it was long and very shiny - something you only wear once.
"Hurry Kid! Or you'll be late!" The caretaker yelled out from the main foyer. He had offered to drive me, and I took him upnon it.
I quickly finished by putting my matching green earings on. I left the bathroom "I'm comming!" I replied to the care taker.
I quickly dashed to the car, where I managed to get shotgun before the care taker could say any thing in retort.
It wasn't long untill we came up to the school. The caretaker walked my up to the school where the vice princeapal got a hold of me.
"I can't believe you! You were supposed to be here early!" He said angrily as he took my to the bak stage of the auditorium.
I laughed at his poor disgrunteled attitude, and he handed me my cap and gown. I slipped into my gown and made sure the tassle was on the right side then joined the others who were graduating.
We all eagerly watched the growing audience from a small opening in the curtain. I quickly spotted out Sato, Mokuba, and Master Crane in the crowd. I looked curiosly to see if my father had showed up, but I had no luck in finding him. I can't say I'm surprised.
Butterflys filled my stomach as the lights fllickered on and off, warning the audience to quit down. Then as the sudience did that the lights dimmed. It seemed to me that the ceramony was starting a little early, but no one else seemed to mind, even though, they were all to busy trying to wave at their parents.
A man I had never seen before took center stage, and mere moments later I felt a cold glove on my shoulder.
Whoever it was grabbed my around the neck with the other arm I quicy gabbed onto the arm with both my hands, and just when I was about to try and get free I felt the cold steel of a gun to my neck.
I breathed shallow short breaths of fear as the gun was pressed into my neck. I clossed my eyes and swallowed hard in an attempt to get a hold of myself. It only partialy worked. I could spare enough attention to notice that two other men with guns rounded up the other kids.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! As you have most likely already noticed, things arn't going exactly as you thought they were!" The man from on the stage started somewhat plesently, then one of the men watching over the other kids walked to the curtain pulley. I thought it was odd that he left ony one man standing guard. There must have only been four of them. The man pulled down on the ropes to reveal the three other men and our predicament to the crowd.
A few of the people stood up in retaliation, including Sato. "Sit, siiiit!" The man with the mic said invitingly "If you do exacty what I say nothing bad wil happen to these sweat young kids!" He said and those who had stood up sat back down.
For some reason the man looked back at me, and I could clearly see his eyes. When I saw him I got ome strange gut reaction that he was somehow...more insecure then he let on. I narrowed my eyes at him, and smirked.
He motioned and the man holding me dug his gun into my neck and pushed me twards the man with the mic. The man with the mic took hold of my arm and pulled me close to himself and lowered his mic as the man previosly holding me slunked away.
"You hear me, you little punk! If you try ANY funny buisness you, and your little friends can kiss this world godbye! Ya got me!" He said quitely yeled so the audience wouldn't hear.
I first saw his gun loosly haging from his jacket pocket, then I noticed a small beadlet of sweat fall from his brow. I quickly took him by suprise, grabbed his gun and kicked his *ahem*. He fell to his knees weezing and I pushed his own gun to the back of his skull.
"Now you tell your crownies to throw down their guns and walk where I can see them, or you'll be the one kissing this world good bye" I thretened.
"Oh, God!" He blurted out "Okay, okay! Guys, thow down your guns and walk where she can see you!" He yelled out "Oh, God, please don't kill me!"
I snickered "I'm not God, and I make no promisses." I slowly hissed in his ear and he continued down a mental breakdown.
As soon as the men had thrown down their arms at least a hundred cell phones from the crowd dialed 9-1-1. It was a matter of seconds before the police arrived.
I took a few steps back from the ring-leader and threw aside his weapon on the arrival of the proper authorities. I raised my hand to my head as I felt a sudden rush of dizzyness.
Sato walked up behind me "That-" he started as I suddenly collapsed. I felt him catch me as the world faded away. "Fox, Fox!!" I heard like a distant cry as I slowly fell unconsciousness.
I closed my eyes tightly as I came to, realizing where I was.
"I think shes awake! Fox, can you hear me?" To my astonishment I heard Sato's voice.
I didn't expect to find anyone waiting, but as I opened my eyes I saw Sato looking over over me. My jaw dropped and I blinked in amazment "Wha...what are you doing here?"
Sato looked at me confused "I wanted to see if you were going to be okay, is something wrong?" he asked.
I thought for a moment then smiled "No, for once...no" I said hapily.
Just as I finished a very odd docter walked in. He looked very young, and I felt a certain amount of stress from him. "Oh, I see your awake then...um...I was just comming here to tell them that you could leave as soon as wanted to..." He said shuffling through some pappers "Your test results came out just fine! It was probobaly nothing more then shock that put you out, and I see no reason to keep you here!" the docter quickly finished.
As I looked at him I could tell he was awfull busy today, and he also seemed a little new about this. Most likely he didn't even glance at me records...if only he knew. I quickly nodded and smiled trying to cover any douts I had in the doctors choice. I easily fooled the docter and he left, but as I turned to face Sato he gave me a look that suggested he was less then convinced.
"Common Seto, lets get out of here! It smells funny..." Mokuba said pulling on Seto's arm.
"You feel ready to go?" Sato asked me.
I smiled and sat up "Ya, lets blow this pop-stand!" I said jokingly, and we all left the Hospital.
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
Since then Seto has been a little softer on me, but hes hasn't said a word about it so I suppose all I can do is hope and pray that he doesn't look into it... everything else went pretty smoothly-they had a seccond graduation ceramoney, but I heard no one showed. Getting into the Sato's High School was surprisingly easy, well everything up to my fathers signature...it wasn't the easiest thing to forge it. The summer went by smoothly, and swiftly. Today is me first day at Domino High...
The classes were similar to the ones I had before, exept there was a lot kids. One other odd thing about this new school was this card game a bunch of the kids were playing, it seemed like a waste of time to me...so I just went home early.
I went into my room and ploped down in front of my TV. I switched it on to find my favorite show had been interupted by, arg, a news brodcast. I threw my head back and moaned at the monotonous and plain old irritating news reporter. Untill I heard what it was about.
"Today a mass 50 million dollar embezzlement sheme has been discovered at Lucid Industries, police have found no leads to who has commited this horrible act, but in a press confrence earlier the company's owner, Mr. Jack Techie, announced that he woud pay the grand total of one million dollars to any one who could find the perpetators. Seems like a large money of funds which leads me to...." The annoying man on the set drowned on.
A huge wicked smile spread across my face. My mind swiftly raced back to the day when my father brought my to his party, and that one group. The one that stood out from the rest. Yes, I was sure it was them! "Now all I have to do is expose them!"
That turned to be a bigger task then first expected, it took me a few weeks to get together the proper equipment, and another to get someone to get the acess codes of the embezzlers. And private eyes can be very steep... after that it was smooth going!
I logged intothe company's web site using the codes of the employees. It was quite well set up. Each of the accounts had a snipet of a virus included in it. Nothing that would be noticable alone, but when put together they created a mass program that would slowly move small chunks of money from the beusiness to a off seas account. With the equipment I had collected I managed to get into the rgram itself, and tracked it back to the account. I must say I have never seen so manny zeros in my life! On TV they had said that only 50 mill was stolen, but this....this was more then double! As I drooled at the digits a wicked idea entered my mind. I could take the extra money and put it in my own account, then reveal the embezzlers, and "graciously" decline the 1 mill, and get mucho cudos! I quickly went to work on setting up my own off seas account and transfered a great deal of the extra money. After I was finsihed. I wrote a lengthy E-mail explaining how I had single handedly apprehended theses theives! heh.
It took only minutes for my father to reply. I hadn't spoken to him in years...it felt odd reading his letter. Most likely he had a secretary write it, but that didn't give much confort... A small unexpeced detail rose at the end of the letter. It asked who I was. I paniked for a moment. i couldn't tell him it was me! not my own father...My mind raced for something...a name...and alias....something to tell him! I spun around in my swivel chair and searched for something to help, and there came sweet, sweet redemption! On the floor was one lolely comic. It was a big smushed, and look like a two year old had drawn it, but on the cover I could clearly make out two letters DD, I smiled. It sounded apripoe! Something that a hacker would name themself...and I could always think of something for it to stand for later. So I swiveled back to my computer and put that in.
Again, moments later. I recieved yet another letter of awesome gratitude. I smirked as I went through the entire thing.
Later that night even more gratitude apeared at my door! Well, TV...
"Earlier this evening the matter of th Lucid industies embezzlement was put to bed! An odd individual only know as 'DD' aprehened the villan responsible! Proving that not everything on the internet is bad!" The announced said, and chucled to himself.
The joke might have been lame...but none the less it was my first appearance on TV! Or should I say DD's first appearance on TV?
I managed to put my new found wealth to my advantage. With some well planned campains I managed to put my father out of buisness! I don't know why I wanted to ruin my father's company..I supose it was just something to do. but, it didn't take him any time at all to find a new job, and at Sato's compainy no less! Most likely Sato saw pity on him...and hired him because of his name...
My expliots became quite popular! I managed to pull off quite a few interesting tricks, a few of which added to my original pot of unhonest money. It didn't take my long to decide I wanted my own company...somewhere where I could keep everything safe. I started it online, managed to get the paper, and later built a small HQ. Its just basiclly a pretty building that sits around in Egypt somewhere looking...pretty. The only reason I built it was so I could say my buisness wasn't an american one, so I wouldn't have to worry any about guidelines.
One odly boring day I didn't have a thing to do. And for some reason or another the idea of that odd gme the kids play at school poped into my mind. I could get some cudos to my face if I brought something with me that was a secret, or unreleased, or something. So I decided to snoop aroun Industrial Illusions and see what I could find.
My eyes widened as I found out the true origins of the game. It turns out that the games was..real! That long ago people could actually summon monsters! I looked into it to discover that the man who took credit for the game, Maximillion Pegasus, was also interesting in some very odd items...they were called the "Millenium Items" suposedly if they were all gathered together they could bring back the games, and brings chaos to the world. About then I rolled my eyes in disgust, this sounds like it was written by some Animé guy in Japan! I thought I could bare one more link of thins bunk, so I clicked on a page with images! At least there would be something to look at. My jaw dropped as I saw someone familiar in one of the photos. It was a kid from school. In the images he was displayed holding a small gold pyramid. Everytime I had seen him he had that thing with him. I looked over to the description of the image...it said that itwas the Millenium Puzzle. It was a lot to take in. I quickly printed all the related pages, and cut my connection. I looked at the screen blankly...maybie this wasn't bunk. Maybie something more then what is apparent is going on.
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
The game still freaked me out, but I just could'nt stop learning about it! The more I found out the more I wanted to know.
One day I was busy reading over strategies for the game, when an unexpected noise came from the foyer. I exited my room and looked to see Sato aguing with the housekeeper. Something wasn't right. It wasn't like Sato at all to make an spontaneous visit. It wasn't even like him to make a planned visit! Most time we would just meet each other at whatever we were doing....
I looked on hurrendly and breathed deeply as I went down the stair and confronted the two. "What is going on here?" I asked angrily.
"Fox this is really important! I have to talk with you alone!" Sato said with an un missable note of urgency.
"I think not young man!" The house keeper started, but I waved him off before he could finish.
"No, its okay." I said in a week voice, very frightened by Sato's action "Comon Sato, we can talk in my room..." I said, and led him upstairs to my room.
Inside he sat me down on my bed "Fox...I-I don't know how to tell you this..." He said, unable to think of a way to break his news.
I looked up at him worridly, "Oh, Sato! Is it Mokuba? Please tell me what wrong!!" I pleaded for him to just say it.
He didn't return my look he couldn't even look at me. "No...Mokuba is fine its..."
A rash of probabilities flodded into my head as Sato stood in silence. I wanted so badly for him to tell me what was wrong, but he looked so worried I couldn't bring myself to ask again.
He took a quick look at me then turned back to the floor, "Fox..." he started "Remember when...when at the High School graduation when you passed out?" He managed to say.
I felt a sudden urge to leave and couldn't help but standing up and turning my back to Sato, but I did manage to stay in the room. I should've told him, he deserved to know, "Yea...I know..." I said quietly, taking my own interest in the floor.
Sato snaped to attention "You know your goind to die??" He asked.
I could barley breathe. My eyes widdened and my jaw dropped on hearing those words. We stood in silence for what seemed an eternity.
Thoughts rushed through my head thats why it was so hard for my father to tell me. Why he didn't tell me sooner. Why he left,ad never came back. I mean why would anyone want to put real time and effort into something knowing that it will only die? A small tear fell from my eye.
I cupped my mouth over with my hand and held tightly onto my wrist with my other hand, as I started to tremble. I closed my eyes tightly and they flooded with tears.
Sato came from behind me and held me firmly to his chest, still facing away. "I'm so sorry..." He said, trying to bring any confort he could.
I cleared my throught as well as I could and aasked "How long?" As if I really wanted to know.
Sato held on tighter and took a deep breath "one year".
I collapsed in his arms "Oh god..." I barley panted out
Sato sat back on the bed still holding tight. He stayed with me untill hours later when I finally cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up alone in my room. I quickly got up. It didn't take me long to figure out what was going to do...with ,dear lord, the rest of my life. I quickly packed all the information I had on Deul Monsters, The shadow games, and an extra set of clothing and left for egypt without another word. If these Millenium Items really could bring Chaos to the world, then I might as well go off with a bang!!
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
My story begins as I was sitting alone during a welcoming party. My father had hired fifty new employees and was throwing a huge bash in their honor, well his real intentions were for some cheap publicity. Which of course he got. The only reason I was there was because the nanny had quit only a few hours before, leaving my father with little choice but to bring me along. I was examining the new recruits as another kid about the same age as myself came and sat next to me.
"Who are you, and what praytell are you doing?" I asked her, annoyed by her presence.
"Don't be such a grouch! Why don't you lighten up! My name is Mai, whats yours?" She said in a shrill annying voice.
I pushed her aside and stood up "Who are you to tell me what to do?!?!" I quickly retorted, angered by her infuriating commands.
I caught the eye of one of the security officers and he quickly came up behind here "Excuse me little miss! Is there a problem here?" he said in a kindhearted tone.
I clenched my fists as my eyes narrowed. My left eye twitched for a moment as I let the anger grow. I quickly turned to face the officer "Of course something is wrong! This insolent dog is insulting me as those embezzlers plot their betrayel!" I shot out pointing to a group of five of the new emplyees.
The entire room plunged into silence and all eyes were on me, but before the group could get a good look the officer swiftly covered my face and dragged me out of the building saying "I don't know how you got in here you little scamp!" As he drug me out.
He drug me into the empty hallway and threw me into an empty office "You'll stay here for the rest of the party! Your father will have a few choice words for you when its over!" He yelled at me.
He slammed the door and locked it.
My eyes widdened in realization of my predicement, and I tried to twist the door nob open to no avail. "Let me out of here!!" I screamed as I pounded on the door as hard as I could. Tear came streaming down as I continued to pound on the door, but after a few minutes I got horribly dizzy. i took a few steps from the door then fell to the ground. I breathed heavily as I slowly passed out.
I woke up what seemed to be moments later in an exsevily bright room. I took a few deep breathes then removed the oxegen mask from my face. I sat up and looked around the room, by the looks of it I was in a hospital. In the corner of the room I saw a man sleeping. He was one of my fathers security personel, undoutably here to keep an eye on me. I stepped out of the bed and grabbed my clothes which were on a chair next to the sleeping man.
After getting dressed I easily left the room, and snuck out of the hospital. It wasn't long before I found a opening to the subway. I took it to as close as It would go to my house, and walked the rest of the way. I climbed up a tree to get to my room, and stretched out on entering.
I turned on my television, and pressed down the volume so that none of the servants would find me. I flipped throught the channels untill I came on to one where a happy pink rabbit was jumping about the screen. I watched hapily untill at long last my father showed up at the door.
I snickered and turned off my TV. I krept up next to my door so I could here hat was going on...
"Arrrgh!" My father screamed in anger "When I get my hands on her...!" He yelled out again. I giggled to myself as he continued to huff and puff.
The I heard him stormming up the star twards my room. I looked around for someplace to hide, but I couldn't find anywhere. I quickly ducked behind my bed as the nob slowly turned. I held onto my knees and clossed my eyes tighty. Maybie...just maybie if I didn't see him he wouldnt see me.
I felt him walk up next to me. I felt so small as he loomed over my covering body.
He sighed deeply "What am I going to do with you?" He said, all the hatred gone from his voice.
My jaw dropped,and eyes opened. I looked up at him, teary eyed "Your, your not mad?" I squeked out.
He sat down on my bed, and padded the area next to him, gesturing for me to sit. I got up and sat down next to him, "Is something wrong?" I asked.
He looked into my eyes worridly and wraped his arm around me, "Fox...your not like other kids your age..." He started and then looked to the ground without the heart to finish.
My eyes widdened as I became quite worried myself "Daddy? Whats wrong??" I asked.
He rubbed my shoulder and sincuated himself nerviosly. He looked back at me and continued "your not indestructable. Your just...sick thats all. Your mother was the same way...she ignored it and thats why shes not here anymore...' He slowly mumbled.
I took a step back "you mean...I could've...how could you keep this from me?!?!" I asked, unsure what to think.
He stood up, "I'm sory." He said.
"Sorry?? Thats it!" I turned from him and folded my arms over my chest "Leave me alone, I have a lot to think about." I said angrily.
My father grew impatient and angry "Fine!" He yelled out then left my room slamming the door behind him.
I could barley stop myself from trembling as the wind from the door blew across my back. "I didn't mean it..." I said as tears came streaming down my face.
I turned twards the door quickly hoping somehow he heard me, but all I saw was the door. I chocked down on my own tears as i sat back down on my bed. I looked down at the floor trying to think, but nothing came. I watched the floor as I slowly cried to sleep...

After that my father and I didn't speak. I didn't feel any great need to be with him, and he apparently recipricated. My father got a new nanny, and she took care of me for a while, untill I got annoyed by her and fired her. I never told my father. I honestly don't know why the caretaker didn't say anything. He looked after the house, kept everything clean and neat, he could tell you how many ceilng tiles where in the main foyer and he undoutably noticed a certain lack of nanny.
This day started out like manny others, I walked to the Subway, and took a ride to my school. It was a ver small school, a special prep school only for the kids with at least seven digit in thier trust funds. It had the finest teachers and the finest facilities, but not neccesarily the finest students my self no particaular exeption.
The school day was nothing out of the orinary, untill the very last. I was preparing to leave for home as I heard some kids yelling from behind the corner of the building. I krept up and peered around the edge to see two older boys picking on one little kid. Without thinking I stepped out "Leave him alone!" I yelled out for the older kids to hear.
One of them pushed the little kid "Now you don't go away, or you'll really get it tomarrow!" he said, then the both of the came up to me.
Standing right next to them the age difference became quite clear. They were much taller then I was, and I gulped as I looked up to me. "What was that cutie?" one of the boys said as he looked down at me. He had a menacing feel about him, and a paralizing stare.
After a few moments the other boy grabbed my by the arm, and pulled me up so my feet couldn't reach the ground. "My friend here asked you a quistion, now arn't you going to answer?" He said as he clenched my arm tightly.
I tried to answer him, but I couldn't sum up the courage.
"Didin't your mother ever tell you not to pick on a girl?" I heard a voice ring out from behind me.
The boy who was holding me instantly let go and the two of them scurried off. "Wow..." I said under my breath, then turned to see who my savior was.
I saw a boy even older then the others, but still young enough for the school. The kid who was being picked on walked up behind me.
"Sato! Thank you so much for comming!" He said hapily in a raspy voice.
"Of course I came Mokuba." Sato replied in a more grown up, and monotone voice.
I blinked as I looked onto Sato "Who are you?"I asked
He gave me a quick look over and replied "I'm Sato Kaiba, and I supose I should be grateful." He said quietly.
"You? I anyone should be greatdull it should be me!" I said unready for such a responce.
He smirked, "You got any place you need to be?" He asked.
I looked up at him questionably. I tried to think of any reason why I should lie to him, but I coudn''t think of anything, "No, not really." I said.
He jerked his head in a motion pleading me to follow, then walked away. Mokuba quickly followed, and I decided I would go too.
We walked for a few block to an old storehouse. Its outsides were covered with old rusted tin. I felt disgusted as Sato entered the building, but I reluctantly entered the building. I gasped at the interiors of the building. It had beutiful hardwood floors and walls and even the ceiling. There were odd blue mats set up on the floor and some people were fighting on them. I had never seen anything like it before in my life. I spent a few mintues just standing and starring at the room. My asperations were uninterupted untill an old man yelled at my from across the room.
"Hey, you! No shoes in my Dojo!" The old man shot out.
I looked down at my shoes, then over to Sato and Mokuba who ha already taken their shoes off. I noticed an odd line of shoes by the door. I connected the dots and quickly took off my shoes and laid them at the end of the pile.
Sato walked up to the old man and they talked for a few moments as I looked on curiosly. When they were done the old man came up to me "I don't normally do this, but seeing your a friend of m greatest pupil, I'll let you try out for my Dojo! So what o you say, kid?" The old man said with a large smile.
"Um..." I said thinking "sure" I finished, not exactly sure what I had just agreed to.
The old man took me to one of the blue mats where a young man was waiting, "In order to join my Dojo you must fight with Kougi, and if your performance is good enough, your in!" The old man said, then taking me aside he eplained "Nothing below the belt, and no kicking! To start off the match walk to the center of the mat and bow to Kougi"
I took a deep breath and walked onto the pad Kougi was a lot taller then me, and didn't look like he was the type to go easy on me. I swallowed hard and bowed deeply and Kougi did the same.
Only a few moments after bowing Kougi took a swing for me. I quickly ducked out of the way and managed to get by him and get some room between us. Kougi spun around and came at me with his fist pulled back. My heart began to pound harder and harder, and I became a little dizz-like before. Not sure what to do I tried to get out of the way, but I half tripped! I caught myself wth my left arm and leg, but my right leg was streatched out. It was too late and Kougi tripped over my leg, and fell to the ground. I quickly got up and looked over him.
"That was amazing! You ave a natural talent for this! Come, come ets talk membership!" The old man said hapily as he dragged me into his office
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
I got set up with the Dojo, and I've been taking classes with Sato and Mokuba ever since. Me and Mokuba became fast friends! And I think I'm friends with Sato...with him its really hard to tell. Ever since then thigs have been going great for me, I managed to pull my grades in school make friends and I even got to know the caretaker better.
It was some time since then, Sato has already graduated and was in High School, and tonight it was my turn! I managed to pass my classes, and through dum luck come upon some honors. Like every year the graduation was going to be quite the bash, having nothing but the richest of the rich you can imagine the school was quite loaded. Master Crane from the Dojo even reluctantly agreed (before he found out about the free food) to come, and of course Sato and Mokuba will be there.
I was in the main bathroom getting ready. I hurridly put on my green dress. I had bought it just for this ocasion, it was long and very shiny - something you only wear once.
"Hurry Kid! Or you'll be late!" The caretaker yelled out from the main foyer. He had offered to drive me, and I took him upnon it.
I quickly finished by putting my matching green earings on. I left the bathroom "I'm comming!" I replied to the care taker.
I quickly dashed to the car, where I managed to get shotgun before the care taker could say any thing in retort.
It wasn't long untill we came up to the school. The caretaker walked my up to the school where the vice princeapal got a hold of me.
"I can't believe you! You were supposed to be here early!" He said angrily as he took my to the bak stage of the auditorium.
I laughed at his poor disgrunteled attitude, and he handed me my cap and gown. I slipped into my gown and made sure the tassle was on the right side then joined the others who were graduating.
We all eagerly watched the growing audience from a small opening in the curtain. I quickly spotted out Sato, Mokuba, and Master Crane in the crowd. I looked curiosly to see if my father had showed up, but I had no luck in finding him. I can't say I'm surprised.
Butterflys filled my stomach as the lights fllickered on and off, warning the audience to quit down. Then as the sudience did that the lights dimmed. It seemed to me that the ceramony was starting a little early, but no one else seemed to mind, even though, they were all to busy trying to wave at their parents.
A man I had never seen before took center stage, and mere moments later I felt a cold glove on my shoulder.
Whoever it was grabbed my around the neck with the other arm I quicy gabbed onto the arm with both my hands, and just when I was about to try and get free I felt the cold steel of a gun to my neck.
I breathed shallow short breaths of fear as the gun was pressed into my neck. I clossed my eyes and swallowed hard in an attempt to get a hold of myself. It only partialy worked. I could spare enough attention to notice that two other men with guns rounded up the other kids.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! As you have most likely already noticed, things arn't going exactly as you thought they were!" The man from on the stage started somewhat plesently, then one of the men watching over the other kids walked to the curtain pulley. I thought it was odd that he left ony one man standing guard. There must have only been four of them. The man pulled down on the ropes to reveal the three other men and our predicament to the crowd.
A few of the people stood up in retaliation, including Sato. "Sit, siiiit!" The man with the mic said invitingly "If you do exacty what I say nothing bad wil happen to these sweat young kids!" He said and those who had stood up sat back down.
For some reason the man looked back at me, and I could clearly see his eyes. When I saw him I got ome strange gut reaction that he was somehow...more insecure then he let on. I narrowed my eyes at him, and smirked.
He motioned and the man holding me dug his gun into my neck and pushed me twards the man with the mic. The man with the mic took hold of my arm and pulled me close to himself and lowered his mic as the man previosly holding me slunked away.
"You hear me, you little punk! If you try ANY funny buisness you, and your little friends can kiss this world godbye! Ya got me!" He said quitely yeled so the audience wouldn't hear.
I first saw his gun loosly haging from his jacket pocket, then I noticed a small beadlet of sweat fall from his brow. I quickly took him by suprise, grabbed his gun and kicked his *ahem*. He fell to his knees weezing and I pushed his own gun to the back of his skull.
"Now you tell your crownies to throw down their guns and walk where I can see them, or you'll be the one kissing this world good bye" I thretened.
"Oh, God!" He blurted out "Okay, okay! Guys, thow down your guns and walk where she can see you!" He yelled out "Oh, God, please don't kill me!"
I snickered "I'm not God, and I make no promisses." I slowly hissed in his ear and he continued down a mental breakdown.
As soon as the men had thrown down their arms at least a hundred cell phones from the crowd dialed 9-1-1. It was a matter of seconds before the police arrived.
I took a few steps back from the ring-leader and threw aside his weapon on the arrival of the proper authorities. I raised my hand to my head as I felt a sudden rush of dizzyness.
Sato walked up behind me "That-" he started as I suddenly collapsed. I felt him catch me as the world faded away. "Fox, Fox!!" I heard like a distant cry as I slowly fell unconsciousness.
I closed my eyes tightly as I came to, realizing where I was.
"I think shes awake! Fox, can you hear me?" To my astonishment I heard Sato's voice.
I didn't expect to find anyone waiting, but as I opened my eyes I saw Sato looking over over me. My jaw dropped and I blinked in amazment "Wha...what are you doing here?"
Sato looked at me confused "I wanted to see if you were going to be okay, is something wrong?" he asked.
I thought for a moment then smiled "No, for once...no" I said hapily.
Just as I finished a very odd docter walked in. He looked very young, and I felt a certain amount of stress from him. "Oh, I see your awake then...um...I was just comming here to tell them that you could leave as soon as wanted to..." He said shuffling through some pappers "Your test results came out just fine! It was probobaly nothing more then shock that put you out, and I see no reason to keep you here!" the docter quickly finished.
As I looked at him I could tell he was awfull busy today, and he also seemed a little new about this. Most likely he didn't even glance at me records...if only he knew. I quickly nodded and smiled trying to cover any douts I had in the doctors choice. I easily fooled the docter and he left, but as I turned to face Sato he gave me a look that suggested he was less then convinced.
"Common Seto, lets get out of here! It smells funny..." Mokuba said pulling on Seto's arm.
"You feel ready to go?" Sato asked me.
I smiled and sat up "Ya, lets blow this pop-stand!" I said jokingly, and we all left the Hospital.
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
Since then Seto has been a little softer on me, but hes hasn't said a word about it so I suppose all I can do is hope and pray that he doesn't look into it... everything else went pretty smoothly-they had a seccond graduation ceramoney, but I heard no one showed. Getting into the Sato's High School was surprisingly easy, well everything up to my fathers signature...it wasn't the easiest thing to forge it. The summer went by smoothly, and swiftly. Today is me first day at Domino High...
The classes were similar to the ones I had before, exept there was a lot kids. One other odd thing about this new school was this card game a bunch of the kids were playing, it seemed like a waste of time to me...so I just went home early.
I went into my room and ploped down in front of my TV. I switched it on to find my favorite show had been interupted by, arg, a news brodcast. I threw my head back and moaned at the monotonous and plain old irritating news reporter. Untill I heard what it was about.
"Today a mass 50 million dollar embezzlement sheme has been discovered at Lucid Industries, police have found no leads to who has commited this horrible act, but in a press confrence earlier the company's owner, Mr. Jack Techie, announced that he woud pay the grand total of one million dollars to any one who could find the perpetators. Seems like a large money of funds which leads me to...." The annoying man on the set drowned on.
A huge wicked smile spread across my face. My mind swiftly raced back to the day when my father brought my to his party, and that one group. The one that stood out from the rest. Yes, I was sure it was them! "Now all I have to do is expose them!"
That turned to be a bigger task then first expected, it took me a few weeks to get together the proper equipment, and another to get someone to get the acess codes of the embezzlers. And private eyes can be very steep... after that it was smooth going!
I logged intothe company's web site using the codes of the employees. It was quite well set up. Each of the accounts had a snipet of a virus included in it. Nothing that would be noticable alone, but when put together they created a mass program that would slowly move small chunks of money from the beusiness to a off seas account. With the equipment I had collected I managed to get into the rgram itself, and tracked it back to the account. I must say I have never seen so manny zeros in my life! On TV they had said that only 50 mill was stolen, but this....this was more then double! As I drooled at the digits a wicked idea entered my mind. I could take the extra money and put it in my own account, then reveal the embezzlers, and "graciously" decline the 1 mill, and get mucho cudos! I quickly went to work on setting up my own off seas account and transfered a great deal of the extra money. After I was finsihed. I wrote a lengthy E-mail explaining how I had single handedly apprehended theses theives! heh.
It took only minutes for my father to reply. I hadn't spoken to him in years...it felt odd reading his letter. Most likely he had a secretary write it, but that didn't give much confort... A small unexpeced detail rose at the end of the letter. It asked who I was. I paniked for a moment. i couldn't tell him it was me! not my own father...My mind raced for something...a name...and alias....something to tell him! I spun around in my swivel chair and searched for something to help, and there came sweet, sweet redemption! On the floor was one lolely comic. It was a big smushed, and look like a two year old had drawn it, but on the cover I could clearly make out two letters DD, I smiled. It sounded apripoe! Something that a hacker would name themself...and I could always think of something for it to stand for later. So I swiveled back to my computer and put that in.
Again, moments later. I recieved yet another letter of awesome gratitude. I smirked as I went through the entire thing.
Later that night even more gratitude apeared at my door! Well, TV...
"Earlier this evening the matter of th Lucid industies embezzlement was put to bed! An odd individual only know as 'DD' aprehened the villan responsible! Proving that not everything on the internet is bad!" The announced said, and chucled to himself.
The joke might have been lame...but none the less it was my first appearance on TV! Or should I say DD's first appearance on TV?
I managed to put my new found wealth to my advantage. With some well planned campains I managed to put my father out of buisness! I don't know why I wanted to ruin my father's company..I supose it was just something to do. but, it didn't take him any time at all to find a new job, and at Sato's compainy no less! Most likely Sato saw pity on him...and hired him because of his name...
My expliots became quite popular! I managed to pull off quite a few interesting tricks, a few of which added to my original pot of unhonest money. It didn't take my long to decide I wanted my own company...somewhere where I could keep everything safe. I started it online, managed to get the paper, and later built a small HQ. Its just basiclly a pretty building that sits around in Egypt somewhere looking...pretty. The only reason I built it was so I could say my buisness wasn't an american one, so I wouldn't have to worry any about guidelines.
One odly boring day I didn't have a thing to do. And for some reason or another the idea of that odd gme the kids play at school poped into my mind. I could get some cudos to my face if I brought something with me that was a secret, or unreleased, or something. So I decided to snoop aroun Industrial Illusions and see what I could find.
My eyes widened as I found out the true origins of the game. It turns out that the games was..real! That long ago people could actually summon monsters! I looked into it to discover that the man who took credit for the game, Maximillion Pegasus, was also interesting in some very odd items...they were called the "Millenium Items" suposedly if they were all gathered together they could bring back the games, and brings chaos to the world. About then I rolled my eyes in disgust, this sounds like it was written by some Animé guy in Japan! I thought I could bare one more link of thins bunk, so I clicked on a page with images! At least there would be something to look at. My jaw dropped as I saw someone familiar in one of the photos. It was a kid from school. In the images he was displayed holding a small gold pyramid. Everytime I had seen him he had that thing with him. I looked over to the description of the image...it said that itwas the Millenium Puzzle. It was a lot to take in. I quickly printed all the related pages, and cut my connection. I looked at the screen blankly...maybie this wasn't bunk. Maybie something more then what is apparent is going on.
E3 E3 E3 E3 E3 E3
The game still freaked me out, but I just could'nt stop learning about it! The more I found out the more I wanted to know.
One day I was busy reading over strategies for the game, when an unexpected noise came from the foyer. I exited my room and looked to see Sato aguing with the housekeeper. Something wasn't right. It wasn't like Sato at all to make an spontaneous visit. It wasn't even like him to make a planned visit! Most time we would just meet each other at whatever we were doing....
I looked on hurrendly and breathed deeply as I went down the stair and confronted the two. "What is going on here?" I asked angrily.
"Fox this is really important! I have to talk with you alone!" Sato said with an un missable note of urgency.
"I think not young man!" The house keeper started, but I waved him off before he could finish.
"No, its okay." I said in a week voice, very frightened by Sato's action "Comon Sato, we can talk in my room..." I said, and led him upstairs to my room.
Inside he sat me down on my bed "Fox...I-I don't know how to tell you this..." He said, unable to think of a way to break his news.
I looked up at him worridly, "Oh, Sato! Is it Mokuba? Please tell me what wrong!!" I pleaded for him to just say it.
He didn't return my look he couldn't even look at me. "No...Mokuba is fine its..."
A rash of probabilities flodded into my head as Sato stood in silence. I wanted so badly for him to tell me what was wrong, but he looked so worried I couldn't bring myself to ask again.
He took a quick look at me then turned back to the floor, "Fox..." he started "Remember when...when at the High School graduation when you passed out?" He managed to say.
I felt a sudden urge to leave and couldn't help but standing up and turning my back to Sato, but I did manage to stay in the room. I should've told him, he deserved to know, "Yea...I know..." I said quietly, taking my own interest in the floor.
Sato snaped to attention "You know your goind to die??" He asked.
I could barley breathe. My eyes widdened and my jaw dropped on hearing those words. We stood in silence for what seemed an eternity.
Thoughts rushed through my head thats why it was so hard for my father to tell me. Why he didn't tell me sooner. Why he left,ad never came back. I mean why would anyone want to put real time and effort into something knowing that it will only die? A small tear fell from my eye.
I cupped my mouth over with my hand and held tightly onto my wrist with my other hand, as I started to tremble. I closed my eyes tightly and they flooded with tears.
Sato came from behind me and held me firmly to his chest, still facing away. "I'm so sorry..." He said, trying to bring any confort he could.
I cleared my throught as well as I could and aasked "How long?" As if I really wanted to know.
Sato held on tighter and took a deep breath "one year".
I collapsed in his arms "Oh god..." I barley panted out
Sato sat back on the bed still holding tight. He stayed with me untill hours later when I finally cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up alone in my room. I quickly got up. It didn't take me long to figure out what was going to do...with ,dear lord, the rest of my life. I quickly packed all the information I had on Deul Monsters, The shadow games, and an extra set of clothing and left for egypt without another word. If these Millenium Items really could bring Chaos to the world, then I might as well go off with a bang!!
