Away with the Faeries

Hey, so I'm glad that you lot liked the first chapter. I will clear a few things up that were brought up in the reviews.

HopelessRomantic183, Mokuba to some extent knows that something is affecting both him and his brother, he's a smart kid and it doesn't take much putting together. Seto will tell him a bit about what's going on, but not that the curse will kill them. Also, to break the curse they need to find their soul mates, fall in love with them and kiss them, sort of a 'True Love's Kiss' type thing.

Dragongal, Kisara and Iola are full Faeries, Yugi's mother is actually their father's sister and their mother was also a Faerie.

So thanks to everyone who reviewed or added this story to their story alert/favourite story list. That really means a lot to me.

Lol, earlier I was doing some quizzes on Quizilla with my younger cousin to find out which Yu-Gi-Oh character we'd be and I kept getting Seto Kaiba, also, when I did some to find out which Yu-Gi-Oh guy I would be best paired with and I kept getting him too… hmm…what does that say about me then?

Sorry it's taken me so long, obviously I had my date on Monday (which went really well by the way!) but I've also had a new idea for a novel and I've been starting that. I've also had a few issues with depression and I've had to deal with that.

In this chapter I imagine Kisara's violin playing to sound a bit like Vanessa Mae's Cotton Eyed Joe.

Anything you recognise is not mine.

Chapter 2

Seto's P.O.V.

Kisara was only out of the room for a few minutes but she looked like she'd just done a 24 hour marathon.

"Well I've contacted the Faerie Council. They've asked me to deal with her so she'll probably come here in a couple of days." She sighed, looking stressed.

"I'll make you a cup of tea." Yugi said, jumping up.

"Thanks Hun." She smiled. After taking a long drink from it she sighed happily.

"So, are you coming to the Ceilidh tomorrow Yug?" She asked, a slight twinkle in her eye.

"Actually Grandpa isn't very well, I've been running the shop for him so I'll need to get back soon." He said, I was shocked. I hadn't known that Yugi's grandfather wasn't very well, the fact that he was concerned enough for me and Mokuba to leave his ill grandfather for a few days. It sort of showed me just how much he thinks of me as a friend.

"That's a pity, Kiera's going to be there. She misses you, you know." She replied, taking another sip of tea.

"Well I guess I could leave a day later that I'd originally planned." Yugi said after a short pause.

"If that's what you want." Kisara said with a slight but knowing smile. At that point Yugi felt it would be best if he went to ring his grandfather. Once he'd left the room I looked at Kisara.

"Who's Kiera?" I asked curiously.

"She's my best friend. Both she and I had been in the accelerated education program at our local school since we were six. It was hard, being in class with a load of 11 year olds when you were only six so she and I became firm friends. Last year when Yugi came to visit he met Kiera. I'm convinced that they'll end up together eventually." She replied with a smile.

Later that afternoon all of us were sat out in the garden, Mokie seemed so happy running around with Iola that it made me smile slightly. It was a very sunny day for March and quite warm, so warm that I found I could leave my white sleeveless trench coat inside. Mokie and Iola must have thought it was warm too, as they started a water-fight. Of course, this soon spilled over onto us when Iola threw some water on Kisara.

"Right, this is war!" Kisara grinned, grabbing a bucket and filling it with water. She then started chasing Iola with it. Mokie at that point decided to completely soak Yugi and I. By the time the water-fight ended we were all completely soaked.

"Why don't we all get changed." Kisara suggested, wringing out her dripping hair.

I have to admit that, that first night in Wales, Mokie and I felt so welcome by Kisara and her sister. It turns out that Kisara was a very good cook (hence the cookies), she cooked everything from scratch. By the time I'd gotten changed, Kisara, Yugi, Iola and Mokie were already downstairs. Yugi, Mokie and Iola were sat in the living room watching some film while Kisara was cooking in the kitchen. She looked up as I walked in.

"Hi, I'm just finishing some Welsh Cawl and Welsh rarebit for dinner. It should only be about 5 minutes. The others are watching a film in the living room if you want to join them." She smiled at me before returning her attention to the leek that she was cutting. Rather than go and sitting with the others I stayed and helped her as best I could in the kitchen. While I'd gotten dressed in fresh clothes, she was wearing pyjamas which consisted of a pair of blue loose pyjama pants and a red tank top. She was also wearing a pair of pale blue slippers on her feet. After a few minutes she grabbed five bowls and five plates along with five sets of cutlery.

"Could you take these through to the living room?" She asked with a smile. I nodded and carried them through. As I walked into the living room the others looked up. Iola smiled and then ran through to the kitchen. She returned a minute later carrying a plate of what looked like cheese on toast; she was followed by Kisara who was carrying a large steaming pot with a ladle in it. As she served the food she explained what each was to Mokie and I, Yugi seemed to know what each was. It turned out that Welsh Rarebit was essentially up-market cheese on toast while the Welsh Cawl was a type of lamb and vegetable stew. They were both very tasty, and from what I could gather from Yugi and Kisara's conversation, Kisara was a natural cook. About halfway through our meal, the cat that I'd seen sunning itself earlier that day wandered into the room.

"Hello Toulouse!" Kisara smiled, putting her bowl and spoon down and scooping the cat up. She carried him (I assumed that it was a male cat from the way it had walked into the room) to the kitchen and returned a few moments later, without the cat.

"Sorry, just had to feed Toulouse." She smiled.

The next day

The next day dawned bright and clear, strangely I felt better than I had since the curse. Mokuba seemed a lot better too when I saw him. When we got downstairs, Kisara and Iola were in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Morning!" Kisara smiled as she stood by the stove making pancakes.

"Morning." I replied with a small smile.

"Morning!" Mokie grinned. He seemed fascinated by Kisara cooking pancakes. I found myself looking at her too. She was wearing the same jeans, converses and jewelery from yesterday but this time she was wearing a white t-shirt with a black belt. He makeup was more simple than yesterday too, just her bright red lipstick, back eyeliner and black mascara.

"Can I have a go?" He asked after a while. She seemed to think it over and eventually nodded. Everything went well, until Mokie tried to toss the pancake. He flipped it too high and it ended up stuck on the ceiling.

"Oops." He said, looking bashful. Kisara and I both looked at the pancake and then at each other before starting to laugh. It seemed so natural to laugh with her, even though I rarely laughed before. Pretty soon we were all laughing so hard that tears were streaming from our eyes. There was a loud stomping noise coming down the stairs and Yugi walked through the door with a face like thunder.

"What's so funny?" He grumbled. Unfortunately for him he was stood under the pancake which decided that that was the right time to come off the ceiling, landing right on Yugi's head. This caused us to laugh even harder, especially as Yugi blinked slightly and then looked at the ceiling in confusion. Even with his head tilted back, the pancake stayed in its position draped over one of the spikes in Yugi's hair.

It took us a good ten minutes to stop laughing, by which time Yugi had woken up a little more and even he found it funny in the end. The rest of the day passed pretty quietly, something which I found out was normal for Kisara. That evening, just before the Ceilidh, which Kisara had told me was in the nearby village of Rhyd Ddu, Kisara and Iola rushed upstairs to get changed. Iola was the first one to get back downstairs. She was wearing a pair of very light blue jeans and a short navy blue dress over the top with a pair of cream cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat. Around her neck she had a small butterfly necklace which Kisara later told me was Cath Kidston like all her jewellery that evening; in her ears were a pair of long dangling silver and crystal earrings and she also had a silver charm bracelet that had silver cowboy charms around her wrist.

"Is Kisa still upstairs?" She asked, looking around. When Yugi replied that she was, Iola rolled her eyes and pulled an iPhone with a white Hello Kitty cover on out of her bag.

"We might as well get comfortable, she might be a while." She said before putting one of her headphones in and offering the other one to Mokie who took it. She was right, it did take a while but as I was about to make a comment along the lines of "About time", the words seemed to catch in my throat at the sight of Kisara. She was wearing a white layered skirt that stopped about mid-thigh with a brown leather belt and a royal blue cropped top. Like her sister she was wearing Western-style boots but this time in black with a stiletto heel and silver detailing. On her head was a white cowboy hat with black trim and around her neck was a black bandanna. She wore the same dragon chain as before and the same leather bracelet with a silver Egyptian eye but no other jewellery. She was carrying a black violin case and had a black handbag slung across her shoulder.

"Ready to go?" She asked with a grin. All I could do was nod and then follow as she led us out to a garage. The only car there was a sleek and shiny silver Aston Martin DB9.

"Um…Kisa, will you be able to drive that away from here?" Yugi asked nervously. Kisara laughed.

"Just because you came the back way doesn't mean that we don't have a normal road nearby." She smirked, getting into the drivers' seat.

It only took about 20 minutes to get to the village hall where the Ceilidh was being held. Several people who were entering the stone building waved at Kisara and shouted "Shwmae!" to her, which I later found was a Welsh greeting. She waved back as we got out of the car and she locked it.

"Yug, why don't you go and get us something to drink?" She asked, looking slyly at the bar area. I followed her gaze and saw a short girl there, shorter even that Yugi (I'd never even thought that was possible), she was pale like Kisara and had long, wildly curling brown hair and startlingly bright green eyes She was wearing a white halter top and a black skirt with a purple pendant and matching earrings, she also had a studded purple leather bracelet on her right wrist and a purple watch on her left. Around her neck was a purple bandanna and she had a black cowboy hat on her head. I looked at Kisara curiously and she gave me a look that clearly said "I'll explain later". Yugi, who hadn't noticed our silent exchange or the fact that both of us had looked over at the bar area, simply nodded and walked away to get us all something to drink.

"Non -alcoholic for me Yug!" Kisara shouted before turning to me.

"Is that Kiera by any chance?" I asked, causing Kisara to laugh.

"Yeah, neither of them has noticed yet that I've been trying to get them together for years." She replied with a smile.

About 15 minutes later, the bar closed and Kiera joined us. By this time she'd put on a pair of cowboy boots that matched Kisara's so she'd gained a bit of height. But even so she still complained.

"Why is it that everyone I hang around with is so tall? I hate feeling short." She grumbled, causing me to chuckle lightly.

"Hun, that's what stiletto's are for." Kisara grinned, finishing off her drink.

"Right, I've got to go, I'm first onstage." She continued and walked away carrying her violin case. Once she was on the stage, her whole personality seemed to change, her usual quiet confidence was replaced with a more appealing and sexy confidence. Without a word she nodded to one of the sound techs who started up the backing track (even though it was silent for a while) and she started to play "Cotton Eyed Joe". The entire evening was more fun that I would have thought, even with Kisara persuading me to dance a couple of dances with her. It was quite late by the time we got back to the cottage and, while I don't know how tired the others were, it was all I could do to change into some pyjamas before falling into bed and falling asleep instantly.
