Me: *yaaawn* Hello again. Here's the improved version of Chapter two. Also, I would like to personally thank PsychicEevee0103 for following my story. Other then my fanfic partner and my BF, you seem to be the only person who finds Shadow Dawn interesting. So thank you. But seriously, I mean it people! Would it KILL ya to spare three seconds to review? Even if it's just entirely constructed of two syllables, I probably won't update this story again till I have at least one review. :/
Sonic exe: You'll get some eventually.
Me: Why do you sound so doubtful...?
Sonic exe: I just sound like that sometimes.
Me: Oh, that makes sense. *rolls eyes* Sigh, sorry m'dears, I know I'm being a bit too crabby right now, please forgive me. I was working on this all night and I'm rather tired. But I would appreciate it DEEPLY if someone would review. Thank you.
Seto: We don't own Yugioh or Pokemon.
Second breath: Awakening
The young woman slowly opened her pale gold eyes; she looked around at the burning wreckage, but, try as she might, she didn't remember how she came to be there.
In fact, she didn't have the faintest idea of who she was, where she was, or how she got there. All she could remember was an awful lot of bright light. Harsh light. It made her head throb like hell.
The lady rubbed her head with her fingers to sooth the dreadful migraine she was developing. As she lifted the hem of her black dress she began to make her way around the smoldering terrain and deeper into the forest, not knowing what else to do.
She walked for some time, trying hard to remember who, and where she was, when she came to a tree that had carvings of some sort. She inspected this with slight interest. She read 'Sylvia + Edward' in a large heart shape with an arrow through it.
She ran her fingers across the carving.
"Sylvia…" She muttered to herself over and over again.
After the tenth time, she realized she liked the name Sylvia. She smiled to herself as she continued on, now calling herself Sylvia. But she couldn't help but wonder what her real name was.
Sylvia walked down the dirt trail until she came to a road. Cautiously, she stepped on the asphalt, crouched down and ran her nails over the pavement.
"Interesting…" She muttered to herself.
You'd think she's never stepped on a road before. Sylvia was so focused with the strange terrain she didn't even notice two bright lights come down the road. The beauty stood up, and was lost in the headlights for a few seconds.
Everything seemed to happen quickly as the screeching car collided with Sylvia, knocking her to the road. She felt sharp shooting pains run up and down her torso, but for some reason, she somehow felt it would take more then that to kill her.
Sylvia slowly opened her eyes to have them meet with a shiny metal car fender. The girl, groaning a little at first, but then ignoring her pain got up from underneath the vehicle and started back down the road, unaware that the driver's passenger quickly stepped out of the car to confront her.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Sylvia heard an entity unfamiliar to her call out to her. She stopped and turned her head so their eyes where meeting. Her big, yellow orbs met the azure spheres of a tall, handsome brunette. They were seemingly quite cold; however, she could tell there was more to them.
This man, morally known as Seto Kaiba, was astonished for the first 5 seconds or so. It was apparent he was talking to a woman, and a very attractive one at that.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" He yelled at the strange but pretty woman.
She didn't reply right away. She looked as if she was in a very deep thought.
"Maybe…" She said in a calm voice. "That may be my motive, but what knowledge can I extract from it?"
She sighed. "What can I possibly gain from that…?"
This confused Seto slightly, but he was quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed her began to walk down the road once more.
"Hey I'm not done with you!" Seto said impatiently as he ran after her and grasped her arm, only to have his hand harshly slapped away.
"How dare you touch me! Who are you?!" She cried as she turned to face him, eyes blazing with fury.
Seto only replied with a cold, icy glare.
Sylvia, for some reason, wanted to take that glare as a challenge, an offense and attack him, but she restrained herself from doing that, although she didn't know why she had to.
"You, don't know who I am?" Seto asked, still maintaining his glare.
Sylvia shook her head. "No. Are we enemies? Am I to be afraid of you?" She replied warily.
Automatically, Seto answered yes. Because he was a businessman and people are suppose to fear him.
Sylvia allowed her eyes to glisten with slight fear of this man as she took a baby step back.
Seto noticed this and felt a small pang of guilt. He shook his head and sighed, rubbing his temples as he did so. He had had a long, tiring day running Kaiba corporation, suffered an agenizing time-consuming ride home, and now, when all he wanted to do was get back home to Mokuba, his limo collides with a, admittedly pretty, but crazy woman standing dead in the middle of the street.
And now here she was, giving him trouble.
"Could things get ANY worse…?" He thought, and then looked back at her; seeing she was still giving him a wary look.
"What's your name?" He asked making eye contact with her.
He gazed back into her yellow eyes, which were glaring fiercely at him. He allowed himself to discreetly smirk with slight amusement; her glare could give his own a run for its money. Her eyes were… very captivating. He couldn't seem to find the will to look away.
"Sylvia." She replied.
Seto broke away from his thoughts. "And your last name?"
Sylvia shook her head. "I don't know." She replied.
Seto's eyes widened to some extent. She doesn't know her own last name? He found this very curious.
"Where are you from?" He asked the woman, unaware that he was looking her up and down, inspecting her figure.
"I don't know…" She replied again.
"Do you know how you got here?" He asked one last time, but feeling his patience for her dim slightly. He started to suspect something.
Sylvia hung her head; she looked up so their eyes met once more. Only this time, they were filled to the brim with utter fear. But not for Seto, no, it was the fear of unknowing. His suspicions were confirmed when she shook her head again, and answered "I don't know."
It was at this time that Seto realized the poor girl had amnesia. She sighed again and began walking off the road, going back into the woods,
"Where are you going?" Seto asked, trying very hard to sound like he didn't really care.
"Where I came from…" She replied as she continued.
"And where would that be?"
"Where I woke up, in there." She said as she pointed to the woods.
"You woke up in the woods?" Seto asked with a cocked brow, looking beyond her and at the dreary forest.
Sylvia only nodded, as she didn't have much to say.
Seto then realized that these were the same woods where he saw that huge lightning strike hit. "Odd…" He thought, turning his attention back on her.
It was then that Sylvia suddenly grasped the awful pain throbbing in her torso and the back of her head. She groaned slightly as she put her fingers on her chest and slowly lowered herself to the ground, as she was feeling slightly dizzy when standing up, and the sharp pain wasn't helping her headache at all.
"What's your problem?" Seto asked as he gave Sylvia an annoyed look.
Sylvia took deep breaths, but even that was hard because it hurt just to breath. She gently lifted her other hand and tenderly touched a stinging part on the back of her head, and then pulled back, seeing blood on her fingers. Obviously from her collision with the limo.
Seto saw this and came to a decision. He sighed and walked back over to the limo. He opened the door and stood there, waiting.
Sylvia didn't quite understand why he did this. She only watched carefully from a distance.
Seto lifted his head so their eyes met once more.
"Well? Are you coming?" He asked impatiently.
"Why?" She asked, but Seto didn't reply. But he knew very well that, while it was her that was standing in the road, it was his limo that had injured her.
He could care less about her really, but if he just left her in the middle of nowhere injured, she could indeed tell others about it and that could disrupt his image.
"WHY?" She asked again, although this time much more impatiently.
"JUST. GET. IN." He growled in annoyance.
Sylvia was confused, and angry at first, but she took a deep, painful breath, and reluctantly made her way over to where he was standing. She stared into his eyes, but he only gave her a glare saying, "Get your ass into the car or get out of my face."
Sylvia took the hint and quietly climbed into the black automobile and propped herself against the opposite side of the vehicle.
Seto climbed in after her and opened a compartment and removed a white cloth before closing it back up. He handed her the handkerchief and told her to keep it pressed up against her head gash until she could have it examined by a doctor. Sylvia obediently took the cloth and put it against the back of her head.
As Seto told the driver to continue, Sylvia sighed and watched obliviously out the window and at the passing scenery. She still couldn't shake the feeling of that man touching her arm. Sylvia didn't know why, but a faint part of her believed that she is a creature that should never be touched by mortal hands.
"Why…?" She thought. "Why did this happen to me? What did I do that was so horrible to deserve being stranded out in the middle of nowhere with no recollection of who I am?"
Sylvia sighed again. She closed her eyes and pictured that blinding white light again. It was very cruel; it made her shudder and forced her to open her eyes back up again. She didn't know where, or who she was, but she could figure that stuff out later. Right now she had to focus on her current situation, more specifically, the man known as Seto Kaiba.
What does he plan to do with her? She looked curiously at Seto. He noticed this and just glared.
"Just so you know, I'm only doing this because I owe it to you. Don't think that we're friends or anything." He said venomously.
Sylvia found it strange that he found so much disgust in the mere word 'friends'.
But she only chuckled and replied with, "Don't worry sir; I'm not here to make friends. THAT much I know."
Me: Well, I hope that wasn't TOO bad. I'm really scared I may have gotten Seto OOC, and even worse, made Sylvie a Mary Sue. if I did, please tell me so I can fix it.
Seto: Why are you pairing me up with her again?
Me: Because I CAN.
Seto: That's not an answer.
Me: You know what, Seto? I've gotten real sick of your attitude lately!
Seto: Wait, what attitude...?
Me: And because of that, I'm going to punish you for the rest of the story!
Seto: And how do you plan to do- *Is cut off as I use my witch powers to turn him into a Blusang Lindwurm. (Dragcave users should know this)*
Me: There. Sylvia got turned from a dragon to a human, and Seto got turned from a human into a dragon.
Seto the Blusang Lindwurm: WHAT THE HELL?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! CHANGE ME BACK NOW!
Me: Mmm, no, I don't think I will.
Seto The Blusang Lindwurm: Change me back or I swear I'll...
Me: Are you threatening me? If you don't like being a dragon, I could very easily turn you into a squirrel instead. :3
Sonic exe: *Gets a creepy grin* I like squirrels...
Seto the Blusang Lindwurm: O.O
Me: Please read and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review so I can get better. Q~Q
