This is my firt fic, so r+r Disclamer:I do not own Yu-gi-oh! Characters, but I do own Katie and her family (

Don't cry Katie, don't cry, she stared out at the water trying to hold back tears, but she was so lonely. She had one friend in the world, her self. No one had ever tried to be her friend, but then why would they want to? She used to have friends. but after what happened. she cursed her self for what she was. A freak. Her powers were a curse, they had surfaced when she was five for the first time, her father had gotten stone drunk and was getting ready to beat her when 'they' came, she didn't like to refer to them as anything else, but 'they' had come out so strongly that he was killed. Dead, her mother had these powers too, she begun to teach Katie how to control 'them' after she had killed her father, but her mother had been ill, she did pass on enough knowledge to let her get by in the world, but one day at school the jock-straps decided to have a little fun with her, they decided that they'd rape her, she shuddered at the memory. She almost let them, but a will within her was too strong to hold back, and her powers lashed out, the next day every one knew about 'them'. Her mother had been dead for years by that time, she had been fourteen, her uncle had taken her in, he knew about 'them', his sister and grandmother had 'them' too, but he didn't look at Katie like she was a freak, he was used to it, and she didn't use 'them' like her mother once had, but her uncle was a good man, he was a good father to her, no beatings, no getting drunk and doing the unthinkable to her, no her was a good father, and he saw gifts she had that no one else looked for, like how great she was at horse back riding, or how smart she was, or how freaking good she was at selling things, that's why she was in charge of all the big sales pitches her uncles company did, "Mills & Associative" but that's not of much importance at the moment. She'd be moving soon, today was the last night she'd spend in the house she had lived in since she was ten, she wasn't going to miss this place, or the people in it a fresh start, she had mastered 'them' so she didn't have to fear the jock-straps, she was sixteen, two years of no friends, it was so lonely. She didn't realize it but her aunt Rose was sitting beside her

"Katie?" she asked softly

"Yes?" Katie looked over at her aunt, she knew about 'them' as well, but knew she had now gained control and wasn't afraid

"Dinner will be ready soon" Katie knew by the tone of her voice she wanted to say more

"O.k, want some help cooking?"

She smiled "Sure" The two of them headed for the house, her uncle fiddling around with his newest invention, "Hello ladies" he slipped off his safety goggles "You ready for next week?" Katie knew what her was talking about, she had a proposal to present to Kaiba corp. in a week "Yeah, every things all prepared" or so she thought, there was one problem she didn't know about, Seto Kaiba





Seto Kaiba was walking home in the drizzle of dusk, he could have drove, but the gloom about him suited his dark mood, and his car broke down. School had been horrible that day some brainless twit had caused the power to go out scaring all the girls shitless, but there teacher being so determined continued the lesson, without break, without much light and without having a single female in the room sane, he never knew how stupid girls could be, and how horny males could be, they took full advantage of the girls fear, sure, he wanted a some-one, but to go to that level. he shook his head, then when he tried to start his car up it wouldn't start, he lived far from school and his legs were screaming at him to stop, how long had he been walking for an hour, two? He still had half an hour to go, Mokaba was probably worried about him, just a bit further, the rain started to get heavy, just a bit futher he told him self, after what seemed like days he reached his house, well house isn't the right word for it, mansion, yes that's better. Mokaba rached out and hugged his brother at the sight of him

"Big brother! Where were you?!"

"Walking home, my car wouldn't start, I'm exhausted, do you mind if I go to bed?"

Mokaba shook his head "Nope, have fun"

Wondering why he had so many freaking flights of stairs Kaiba finally made it to his room, he couldn't wait to finish to day, but he had no idea what was in stored for him in a few days







Katie went to see her horse, (I already told you she rode) Dragon, maybe not the best name for a horse, but it suited him. As she got closer Dragon he nickered in welcome, "Hello to you too" she began to stroke his sleek neck, she was still going to keep Dragon, the house she was moving into was big, and had a lot of un built land on it, so she could still ride, "Time to pack up" she had to get the horse into the trailer soon, and it would take time, she was already aware of the fact that she might have to stay with him the whole time, but didn't really care, opening the gate she guided Dragon to the trailer. A guy stood waiting to start shipping him off so he could go home. Katie led him up to the ramp and stopped; he turned his head and looked into the trailer, deciding if he wanted to go in or not, to her great relief he went in without protesting, which was odd, Dragon didn't like closed in spaces, after the man had closed and locked the back gate Katie headed for the van.

"Katie, are you o.k.?" her aunt looked worried

"Wha- Oh yeah, I'm fine"

She smiled, Katie climbed into the back row seat of the mini van, an obstacle course of stuff tried to block her passage but she was dainty and squeezed through, she then made a mental note to try the back next time. Her aunt smiled, Katie was sitting in the back, her blue hair all over the place, 'she looks so much like her mother' she thought to her self, she had seen pictures of Katie's mom, and her twin sister, Lizz, she knew Lizz was ill, just like Katie's mom had been, they were going to visit her on there way to there new home, she knew her time was running out, and her little boy, Danny, would come into there custody, just like Katie had, but Danny was better off than Katie had been, he wasn't beaten, and he'd have Katie to help him get through it, Katie had been very alone, at least Danny wouldn't be. She leaned back into her seat "Tom?" (Tom is Katie's uncle)

"Yes?"

"Do you think she has much time left?"

He was silent for a while, not wanting to answer, "No, I'm surprised she lasted this long"

Katie wasn't supposed to hear that, but she knew they were talking about her aunt, her mother's twin, and soon enough, her little boy Danny, Danny was a good kid, she liked him, and she knew he had 'them' "Dammed genetics" she muttered under her breath, but Danny could control his powers, her aunt had taught him, and soon, Katie would be helping him further the extent of his control over 'them'

They turned into her aunts drive way, Danny was sitting on the front steps, waiting, "Uncle T, can you open the trunk" he did so and Katie leaped over a small amount of stuff and triumphantly stepped out of the trunk, and then tripped over Danny's cat, with a hiss the cat darted over to Danny, laughing his pants off he walked over to where Katie lay

"Have a nice trip?" he said smugly

"Danny, I've said it once and I'll say it again, puns are the lowest form of comedy"

He shrugged, "Mom's inside" he held out his hand to help her up

Once standing Katie and Danny headed for the door, and made there way to his mothers room, Katie almost broke down and cried at the sight of her aunt, she looked exactly like her mother had before she died, "Katie?" she asked, her voice small and soft

"Yes?"

"Can I talk to you alone for a bit?"

Katie nodded, Danny and her aunt and uncle left the room, "You know my time is almost up" she said, her voice still small and soft

Katie nodded "I know"

"When you leave, Danny will be with you" Katie's jaw dropped "I want you to promise me you'll take care of him, and you don't try to keep people out of your life, Katie. You know you're like a daughter to me, and I know you don't like the thought of me being dead, I don't like it either, but I want you to know that I leave this world with one regret, that I can't see my son grow up, I need you to be there for him"

Katie nodded "I promise on my mother's grave" her voice was horse

"I remember when you were small, what your father did to you, Katie, it wasn't your fault, don't blame your self, it was beyond your control, remember that always, and what happened to your mother wasn't your fault either, I want you to remember me, and I want you to get on with your life, don't let me stop you from living, now send my brother in, I want to speak with him"

Katie nodded, "Aunt Lizz, before I go, I just want to say thank you for helping me in so many ways"

"You're welcome Katie"

Katie stepped out of the room and motioned for her uncle to go in, she was on the verge of tears, her aunt wrapped her arms around her, soon Elizabeth Mills had spoken to her family one by one, she now wanted to talk to them all together.

Katie looked over at her aunt; memories of her mother's last moment came flooding back to her, "You all know my time is up, I just want to say good by to you all before I die, so. good bye. I love you. all. Danny. be. brave..." her eyes closed

"Mom?" Danny looked over "Mom?" she made no answer he fell to his knees and started crying, I knelt down beside him "S-s-she's g-gone. f-forever!" he wrapped his arms around Katie and continued to cry uncontrollably, Katie was crying too

"Danny we'll get through this, I promise"

(Sorry if I made you cry while reading this()

Seto Kaiba sat through another painfully boring class, today had been just plain unpleasant, for the project they had to do in chemistry class the teacher picked partners, he got stuck with Joey Wheeler, such an idiot, he almost set fire to the school whole school! At least his car was working today, he headed out side for break, another day alone *sigh* well he'd always have his lap-top and Mokaba. He sat down under a tree and began to work, that was all he did, an e-mail popped up, "Mills & Associative" he opened it

"Dear Mr. Kaiba, due to a recent turn of events I'd like to postpone the presentation a week or two, pleas respond and set up a date Tomas Mills"

Kaiba took out his cell phone and dialed his number "Hello?" the voice answering sounded raspy

"I'd like to speak to Mr. Mills pleas"

"This is him"

"About you wanting to re-schedule, what exactly is the recent turn of events?"

"M-my sister just."

"Just?"

"Died"

"If you need more time prepare, just say so"

There was silence for a moment then a voice that Kaiba didn't know, then all he herd was "Give me the phone"

"No, hey Katie! No give that back!"

"Hello who is this?" asked a new voice

"Seto Kaiba"

"Do you honestly thing that his sister didn't just die?"

"That's right, I think he's stalling for time"

"YOU SCOUNDREL, HOW DARE YOU! SHE DID JUST DIE, AND IF YOU DON'T BELIVE ME THEN GOT TO HELL! I WAS THERE, I SAW HER DIE WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!"

In a very small voice Kaiba answered "I'm sorry, it's just I've had people try saying some one died to get time and they didn't"

Now speaking in a bearable level of volume Katie answered "I'm sorry about that, but you were asking for it, now I need a date so I can set some things up"

"The 15th?"

"Hang on a sec, yeah, that works, see then Mr. Kaiba" then with a click the girl hung up

Kaiba stared dumb founded at his phone for a minute, 'That girl has some nerve, but something about her... he thought to him self, he had never had any one put him in is place, not like that!
