THE NEW GIRL
Hey guys! Here's chapter 2, I know Seto's OOC, but here we go!
Chapter 2: Friendship?
[SETO'S POV]
What. Have I. Done? I thought, sipping coffee and working on my latest Duel Disk system. I just- she said- and I didn't know- and she still left me spluttering, looking like an idiot in front of my manservants peers! And the main thing I noticed about her, other than her fury red hair, were here eyes. A bright electric green, that pierced me, made me feel as if I was actually going to lose. I couldn't believe I said that to her… Wait. Why did I even care? Oh yeah. Because I know what it's like to lose someone that means the world to you…
[Mabry's POV]
I burst through the door, surprising my mom, who was reading. "Honey! What are you doing home so early?"
I stuttered my response, trying not to cry, knowing I would fail. "He-he went there, Mom." "Went there" was our code for "Talked about Angel". "Oh, sweetie", she sighed, putting down her book and walking up to me. She took my hands in hers and pulled me close. I dug my face into her shoulder, and cried. We stayed like that for a while, before I was calm. "And-and Rin was there too…" She sniffed.
Her mom pulled away suddenly, a very stern look on her face.
"Stay away from him."
"Ok, mom. I'm tired. Night." Yes, I knew it was only 5:00. I went to sleep anyways.
[Seto's POV]
Ok, I admit it. I wasn't getting any work done. But I honestly didn't care. I just couldn't stop thinking about her… Who was she and where did she come from? She must have had heard of him before, unless she lived under a rock. Oh well. Maybe he'll do a little digging later. Now it was time to get home, to Mokuba, to his warm bed. He shut off his laptop and shut down the power to his building. Wanting only to sleep, he got in his car and drove the back road to his house, so that if he fell asleep nothing would happen. HE got home safely, made it through a tiny dinner, tucked Mokuba in, and then, fell down asleep on Mokuba's bed with him, which both of them enjoyed. Seto had pleasant dreams that night. But he wouldn't have if he knew what would happen the next morning.
[MABRY'S POV]
As soon as I walked through the doors, strangers surrounded me.
"That was SO COOL yesterday!"
"Yeah! You totally showed him…!"
"Maybe he'll cool down a bit now!"
I couldn't respond, I was so bleary-eyed and confused. What were they-? Oh yeah… That. She trudged over to her locker, and found herself once again surrounded. But this time, Anzu was the culprit. Her friends all surrounded me, making me feel a tad uncomfortable. "You win in my book! You totally stood up to Money Bags!" A blonde boy with a Brooklyn accent told me excitedly. Another shorter boy with absolutely crazy hair with a weird puzzle thing around his neck. "And he's single; Go figure!" He motioned to the blonde kid. I couldn't help but laugh through my smog. Anzu smiled. "Mabry, these are my friends Honda, Jou, Yuugi, and Duke [AN: Yes, I DID put Duke's name in English. It's MUCH easier that way.] Duke winked at me, and I felt compelled to roll my eyes, but I stopped myself. "Uhh… Thanks, I guess." I blushed. I've never had this many friends on the second day of school!
[YUUGI'S POV]
I had to admit, I was pretty impressed how Mabry stood up to Seto like that, but I felt bad for him. Instead of cowering when he walked through the door like the students usually did, they jeered and mocked him. Kaiba showed no sign of emotion, but he got a feeling from Yami that the freakishly tall billionaire didn't like this change one bit. Then he realized: Mabry hadn't met Yami yet! Hey Yami! He thought intently. Instantly, the older [AN: And much sexier, though not even close to Kaiba] version of him. You haven't met Mabry yet! She's the girl that stood up to Seto yesterday.
Yuugi's invitation was met with a small frown from Yami. I don't know… I think we should keep… me a secret for now. Now it was Yuugi's turn to frown. "But…" He said aloud. Mabry looked at him with confusion. "What was that?" She asked quizzically. "Uhh.." He tried to think of a good excuse for that random outburst, but he was saved by a guy walking behind her… Who was also freakishly tall, but had red hair like Mabry… He looked familiar, but who…? "Mabry, who's tha-" But he fell silent instantly as the guy silently held a pistol behind the unaware Mabry's head.
[Kaiba's POV]
It didn't matter that I had been having a bad day because of her. When Isaw that gun, I ran to him and punched him in the face. Right as he fell, Mabry twisted around right after the guy threw the gun at my feet, making it look like I had dropped it. She looked at the guy, then looked at me, then looked at the gun, then repeating the process. Her horrified expression grew, and I finally managed to get words out, "He… held a gun up to… your head." My eyes widened as I realized that's exactly what BonJozu [I'm not good at thinking of Japanese names, ok?] used on Mokuba to try to bribe me into selling him the company. But, we made another famous escape and in a rush of anger, threw his gun at us. I caught it, and tucked it in my belt buckle. I returned it safely to the mansions and hid it somewhere no one would find it... But, as I examined the gun more closely, I recognized the tiny things, like the little black mark I put on all of my possessions, even ones as trivial as pencils. [kex3 referance] Yes, the closer I examined the gun, the surer I became that it was mine. Then my eyes widened with fear and I almost dropped the gun as I realized just where I hid it. It was in a locked safe in a pillow case in the back of the closed of... Mokuba's room. My eyes widened and I sprinted out the doors of the school wildly, leaving the others in confusion, before anyone could stop her, Mabry Ran to follow him. "WAIT! KAIBA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHO'S GUN IS THAT?" I left her behind in the dust, but it wasn't long before she caught up. She was pretty fast. Suddenly she stopped, and it caused me to stop too. "You... Saved me." She said, unbelieving. "After all I said to you, which I'm now sorry for, you still saved me?" I started jogging , and she jogged right alongside. "Well, yeah." I mumbled, "I'm not completely heartless, you know!"
"Crap."
She responded. I then realized I didn't care, and then ran ahead only to run into a guy. I rubbed my throbbing head and looked up to see... The guy that I punched? "what the he- is going on here?" I asked. "Well, I might ask you the same thing, what with punching me like that? It gave me a bugger of a headache! I was trying to STOP you from shooting her! Man, Kaiba, I knew you got mad when you lose, but to the point of killing someone? That's a new low." I looked at him in shock and disbelief. Was he trying to FRAME me? "You-I- I DIDNT DO THAT AND YOU KNOW IT!" I looked at Mabry, and prepared for the worst, and I saw her give the most malicious, venomous look of all time. But not at me. At the other guy. "Rin..." She said, anger shaking in her voice. So that was his name. Rin. I took definate note of that. "How dare you frame it on the man who saved my life! How dare you frame my-" She stopped short, but I knew what she was going to say. "Friend." I finished for her, giving her a small smile. Only a tiny, miniscule smile, but she noticed and returned it. No one could know about this. I had a reputation of dead puppies to uphold! Anyway, he smiled kindly and said, "what are you talking about? This man-" but Mabry just rolled her eyes and roundhouse kicked him in the chest. It sent him flying back. He was unconscious... Or now. And oh God, Mokuba! I had forgotten! "You! Stay here!" I commanded her. She replied, "But Seto...!" "It's KAIBA!"\
I roared, then took off to find my baby brother, leaving her dazed and confused, pulling twigs out of her red hair and slight tear in her bright green eyes as he stared at Rin. What had happened between the two? I didn't know, and right then I couldn't care less. I just had to get to Mokuba.
