After Yugi finally caught his breathe, he looked up at me "You're in my class, aren't you?" I rolled my eyes 'I knew I shouldn't have helped him, now he's going to want to be friends' I yelled at myself silently "Yep, that's right!" I replied in an upbeat voice. "Yugi!" a soft voice shouted from behind us. Yugi seemed to know who it was without looking, while I had to turn in look "No way! It's that creep, Ryou." Yugi's eyes filled up with anger and yet they stayed so open and soft "He's my friend." "He's a stalker" I laughed and walked away.
Behind my back I could here their fading conversation. "You want to come over, Ryou?" Yugi asked happily. A long pause came between Ryou's reply, "No.... Sorry Yug., But I promised to walk Sydney home." I stopped dead in my tracks 'Oh no you don't!' I thought and bolted down the street, taking turns everywhere. 'I lost him.' I sighed in relief right before bumping into something. "Watch were you're going." were the words that followed the impact right before being pushed to the ground. "Would it have killed you to move, moron!" I yelled blindly. "Hey Sydney!, Wait for me!" Bakura yelled all the way down the street. I glanced up 'Oh shit! I ran into Kaiba.' 'What was worse, listening to Kaiba tell me what a pathetic person I was or letting Ryou walk me home?' Kaiba looked up to see Ryou "Running from the geek squad, huh?" I gave no reply. He bent down quickly, forcing me up by my arm "Get in." he motioned me to his limo. He got in behind me and closed the door. "Where do you live?" he questioned after he realized he had no idea where to have the driver drop me off. "Sorry, I can't tell you." I said feeling like a complete jerk. 'He was nice enough to get me out of there.' I checked his face to see how mad he was, but he didn't seem mad at all. "I understand, where would you like us to drop you off?" he questioned brushing a piece of brown hair back. 'Kaiba has blue eyes, why didn't I notice that?' I thought as I stared into their depths. Apparently I was staring too long. He turned his head and waited for my reply. "At school." I tilted my head down. He looked over in curiosity "Why do you want to go back there?" "I forgot to go to my locker." I hit my head. "Of course if I wasn't being chased..." I said aloud, forgetting someone was there. " Who was chasing you?" he questioned with concern. The Limo stopped in front of the school "I have to go, thank you, I guess" With that I opened the door and got out. The limo didn't drive off as I had expected, But I continued into the building.
"You Piece of Shit" I yelled trying to open my locker in the abandoned halls. It sprang open nearly hitting me in the face. Far off, I heard the front doors of the school close. I listened in, but heard nothing, so I continued as I was. Closing my locker I nearly had a Heart attack "Holy shit, what the hell are you doing here?" I panted, patting the spot over my heart. " Well, since you wont tell me who's following you, I figured I'd walk you home, you have to live long enough to pay me back." He smiled warmly. "For what?" I yelled dropping my bag. "the ride..." he replied. ' What a sleezeball. I didn't even ask for a ride!' "Don't take this the wrong way, but aren't you a complete asshole or something?" I questioned, his smile dropped. "Excuse me?" he asked incase he mistook what I said. "I don't know, I always remember you being a stuck up snob, kinda like now. I think I even made the decision I hated you after you told me I was 3rd class." I smiled as the incident reoccurred in our heads.
****************** Way Back When********************
It was freshmen year and it was lunch period. I decided to eat my lunch outside. I spotted a table under a tree and made my way for it. A few minutes after I got my lunch out of my bag and started eating. Far over on the other side of the table was Kaiba, all alone. I pushed my stuff down to talk to him. "Hi! What's your name?" ( I know I just used his name, but this is sort of a flashback) " Not that it's any of your business, Kaiba, Seto Kaiba." He replied coldly. "Nice name! My name SydneyKate Leander, But you can call me Kate." I smiled. I was completely unaware of the fact he was trying to make me go away. " I don't talk to 3rd class trash. So, if you'll excuse me." he stated rudely and got up, bumping me in the shoulder as he trailed off. I got up (I don't take things sitting down) and confronted him "What's your problem?" The question only seemed to amuse him "You are, go slut around somebody else, you're not wanted here." he finished. With that, I huffed and kneed him in in sensitive area. He went falling to the ground, yelling word he could possible to express how mad he was.
*****************Back to the present********************
"Didn't you get expelled?" he questioned. "Does it look like it? I got 10 days suspension." I said upset. He smiled again and I did too. " So, where to now?" He questioned. My eyes opened wide and my mouth dropped "No Way!?" "What?" Kaiba questioned. He heard a footstep and turned around. "Ryou?" he questioned. "Hi!" his British accent rang in the empty halls. "What are you doing here?" Kaiba asked, now realizing who was chasing me. " I have to talk to Sydney." he smiled warmly, but then stopped in his tracks. It seemed as if a current of wind came rushing by. Before our very eyes Ryou seemed to change. His neatly arranged hair became messy and wild, his eyes lost their innocence and adopted a cruel look, he grew in height and a smirk on his face appeared. "You!?" I almost fell down. "It , it wa-was you, in class and in gym." I slightly stammered. "Oh, you are a perceptive one, now aren't you?" he laughed sarcastically. "What do you want?" Kaiba seemed all to familiar with him, not hesitant at all like my very own puzzled self. " Your soul." He pointed straight out to me. "Sorry, you can't have it." I said steadily, ' Over my dead body. Like he could take it anyway.' I thought trying to calm down every panicking thought in my mind. " That's exactly how I plan to take it." the Ryou look-a-like grinned.
