Yugi: Yay! Next chapter! *glances around* hey have you seen Cin?
Bakura: No. Maybe she went somewhere? *he smirks at Marik who returns it with his own grin*
Yami: She did go grocery shopping an hour ago…but she should have been back by now… *frowns*
Joey: Uh guys…. *motions for them to be quiet as bangs are heard*
Malik and Ryou: You didn't….. *both go the where the bangs are coming from*
Yugi: ShadowMaster7 doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh
Everyone: ENJOY!
Syn and Shadow
Syn stiffened pain rippling through her body as she moved on the couch, her eyes blurring as the morning sun forced its bright rays through the light blue curtains of the apartment, closing her eyes she allowed her mind to replay how she'd gotten herself and Shadow home that night.
Flashback
Walking down the streets, keeping time paused in doing so Syn could feel sleep tugging at her mind. Shadow lay still, asleep now as her wounds slowly heal, the presence of the once live shadows fading the further she got from the fight.
Her ears twitched and flattened with each step she took, sighing in relief when she finally reached the apartment Syn allowed her free six tails to sway and with one leap she jumped to the third-story window. Sliding inside laying Shadow down on her bed Syn managed to walk into the living room, her legs giving as her body shifted a strange warmth seeping over her body, her mind blacking out.
Sighing and opening her eyes Syn rose and groaned slightly when the world spun slightly, standing she made her way to the kitchen, making breakfast. Knowing Shadow was fully healed now –as she was- she walked down the hall and opened Shadow's door. Smiling when her friends bright eyes met hers' a laugh escaping her lips as Shadow rose to her feet.
"Get ready, seeing as today's Saturday were going to….the mall" Syn shivered knowing how Shadow acted whenever shopping was involved, the squeal that came from her friends mouth confirming her answer she'd asked herself while making breakfast. Today was going to be long…
Keira, Ami, Yugi, Yami, Marik, Malik, Joey, and Seto
Standing outside of the mall Ami sighed her eyes falling on Keira who could barely contain herself from excitement, motioning forward everyone moved in unison the five story mall was packed –to say the least-.
Everyone followed a very excited Keira, who had that starry-eyed look in her eyes; Seto rolled his eyes pausing when they fell on a very familiar pair of girls.
"Hey…isn't that Syn and Shadow?" at the mention everyone turned and Yugi all but ran and nearly tackled Syn to the floor –if she hadn't turned to spot him running at her- the third girl made Seto glare. The girl had short brown hair, bright blue eyes, a smirk playing on her lips as she placed a hand on Syn's shoulder as Yugi kept her attention talking non-stop.
"Who's she?" Came Ami's voice from beside Joey's ear, he frowned and pointed to the girl.
"Well her names Tea… one ya' wanna stay away from" Kiera watched as Shadow swatted the hand away from Syn's shoulder, Ami stealthily made her way over, Bakura and Marik at her heels. Syn glanced up and felt a hand harshly smash against her cheek; fake tears streaming down Tea's cheeks, gasps came from everyone with the group. Yami, Seto, Joey, Ryou, Malik and Kiera were beside their friend, Ami's eyes bright with anger.
"The hell?" Ami all but shouted at Tea who now had a smirk playing on her lips, Syn snarled softly motioning everyone to calm down; they did Yugi trembling with anger on her back. Kiera pulled Ami back; both girls glaring at the other the tension around them would break a knife –even the one Bakura and Marik hid in their jean pockets- Tea yawned stretching her arms over her head.
"What's your deal? She was mocking me!" Tea lied motioning to Syn who was softly whispering words to Yugi, who hid behind her curtain of black hair, Ami let loose cackles of laughter as her hand found its way gripping Tea's too tight pink shirt.
"Really? Do you think were that dumb not to remember our childhood friend? Get out of here now before I lose the little patience I have left and have Bakura and Marik join in and help me to rip you apart and send you to the Shadow Realm." Syn glanced up and smiled during her black out she remembered the two girls as her childhood friends –one's who were picked from the various other children born to become 'Chosen" one's who were meant to protect the very people she and Shadow were sent to destroy- allowing her mind to go blank Syn felt a headache coming on.
Bakura barked out laughter his head lolling back as his lips pulled into a smirk, Yugi glanced over lacing his pale fingers with Syn's, his thoughts knowing that Bakura had reached his limit with Tea.
"Go be a shank somewhere else. Now." His dark brown eyes mixing with a crimson tint as the anger he suppressed came back ten-fold, Ami giggled a small dagger slipping into a palm from her black hoodie sleeve, Ryou made his way over placing a bag full of ice on Syn's cheek.
Tea squeaked and bolted, nearly tripping over her own feet in the process, laughter erupted from the whole group –minus Syn who held the cool bag to her cheek- Ami's tense shoulders relaxed –as did everyone else's- when Tea's blue pumps and way too short shift were out of view. Everyone turned and focused their eyes on Syn –each seeming to blaze with a lighter tint- Syn offered a smile holding back the flinch when her cheek moved.
"I'm fine, now seeing as I offered Shadow a day in the mall lets all hang out and tomorrow I believe we all need to talk about what exactly has each of us here." Everyone gave a single nod, Kiera giggling as she grabbed Ami's hand, the noises and people seeming to finally register to each group member as they focused on the map of the mall.
Seto smirked and took Joey's hand, Bakura taking Ryou's, Marik taking Malik's, Yami taking hold of Yugi's free hand, each taking a deep breath and making their way down the escalator, the rest of the day was spent, buying clothes –much to Keira's and Shadow's glee- and acting like normal kids. A pale figure watching from the fifth floor, her fingers gently tracing the chocker she wore to hide her mark, turning and walking toward the large wall of windows her figure vanishing, tomorrow she'd make her appearance –before the separation caused her anymore mental torture-.
Seto: Easy there Cin….*yanks her back from Bakura and Marik*
Me: Let go! They locked me in a room for an hour! *growls trying to reach for them both*
Yami: Let her beat them Kaiba, it'd be a good thing *He smirks watching both back away*
Joey: Jus' don't kill em' kay?
Seto: Or destroy this house *he says in Cin's ear before letting her go*
Me: *pauses but nods* fine, hey 'Kura Marik? Why do you look so scared? *Lunges at them*
Ami:Yay I told you we'd get to see something good *grins plopping down on Cin's bed beside Keria*
Keira, Yugi, Malik, Joey and Ryou: R&R! *puppy eyes of DOOM*
