Me again. Ok, this is where It (hopefully!) get's good… well, ok, where it starts. This is the weirdest chapter of the whole thing…(btw, I was a little bored while writing this so I got into Seto's thoughts… fun fun…he's more human now… " like my dream…ooo…) This is gonna be quick cuz I really wanna get started. I don't own YuGiOh, I own this story though cuz duh, I wrote it and cuz it IS (sorta kinda not really) based on me and my friends at school. No, I'm not going to tell you what school, otherwise I'll be the one in Saturday Suspension… for the rest of my life maybe… anyhow, here goes. Review when you're done or I'll make Mr. Grim follow you around and give you suspension!!! I don't own Backyard Baseball either, but it's actually pretty fun…
Chapter 4- Judgment DayBEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP "Man dat's annoying!" Joey curses as he drowsily shoves Tristan's alarm clock off the nightstand. "Damn thing always ruins a perfectly good dream… Sorry Mai, we'll have to go on our honeymoon tomorrow night… " He glances around the room. Tristan, Duke, and Yugi are still asleep. Damn, talk about deep sleep! Joey rolls himself out of his sleeping bag and staggers over to the bathroom door. Why da hell am I up so early anyway?! …Ugh, damn suspension… Joey peers into the mirror and studies the cuts and bruises on his face, particularly a long deep slash that runs from his left temple down to his chin. F-U Kaiba!! … Hey, I look kinda tuff … and tough… hmm… yea, now no one will mess with Joey Wheeler! "I wonder what Mai is dreaming right now…" he muses aloud. What he means to say is "Is she thinking about me as much as I'm thinking about her?" He remembers the first time they ever met, on the boat to Duelist Kingdom. And I never woulda met her if it weren't for my good pal Yugi…She was always a fighter, Mai… Mai Valentine…she was so beautiful… her long flaxen hair blowing in the wind... What the?! "Flaxen"?! Geeze man, I gotta lay off the goddamn poetry crap in English… what the hell is flaxen anyway? Whateva… [um.. authoress here… and really disturbed… no idea what to say here so hi, have a cookie while I wait for Joey's real life counterpart to tell me what to say here… yes I am that pathetic at the moment… ok, he answered, on with the story. ]
Joey tiptoes into the den where the girls are sleeping. He crawls towards Mai, and leans over her body. He watches her for a moment, watches her lace-covered chest gently rise and fall as she breathes, watches her hair fall over her face as she turns over. And he watches as her brilliant blue eyes flutter open and the corners of her mouth turn upwards in a smile. She's got the brightest eyes I've ever seen…"Hi Joey," she whispers.
Joey puts a finger to his lips and stretches out beside her on the blanket. She pulls him close and they share one brief but passionate kiss before Tristan barrels in. "We're gonna be late girls, get the hell outta bed!!!" His eyes bulge in surprise. "Joey?! How long have you been in here?! My parents are gonna fuckin' flip out, you wanna get me grounded?!?!" Joey and Mai jump up and rush out of the room giggling.
Joey whispers something to Duke ("I think she's the one!") as his drowsy friend peers into the den ("Awesome now shut up and lemme go back to sleep…"), and then he runs upstairs after Mai. "Dibs on shower! There's only one up here Mai, I guess we'll have to share!"
"Damn hormones…" Tristan chuckles lightly, a smug smirk playing about his eyes. Poor Joey… hate to see his face when it's me taking Mai to senior prom next year! He stares after Mai, his mind full of dirty thoughts as to what he would do when Mai was his girl. Oh yea… today's my big chance! Sorry, "Mutt", but the bitch is mine!
"Good Morning Mr. Kaiba, sorry to disturb you but…" The butler's voice is barely audible through the thick doors, but he doesn't dare open it, nor does he dare buzz in though the speaker system. No, not into Mr. Kaiba's room.
"But what?" His employer's annoyance is obviously heard. His palms sweat and his brow furrows in dreadful anticipation. He's going to fire me, I just know he's going to fire me now… Perhaps I shouldn't have come??? I can't get fired now, my family really needs this money, I'm their only income, what will we do if I get fired?! I'll have to find another job…there isn't another one in the entire city, we'd have to move and we just don't have that kind of money… His frantic thoughts are interrupted as his very irritated teen employer opens the door. "Honestly, Vincent, if there was no reason to interrupt my schedule, then I don't see any reason for you to keep your pitiful little job here!"
"No! I mean, no, please Mr. Kaiba, I'm incred- incredibly s-s-sorry, Mr. Kaiba s-s-sir, I was sent to remind you of your suspension, sir, I-I-I didn't mean- didn't mean to interrupt sir!" The poor butler stutters and backs away from Seto, tripping over his own feet in the process. "Truly, truly sorry Mr. Kaiba, really I am…"
Seto watches amusedly, but doesn't even grin. Stupid butlers and maids, always tripping over themselves to worship me…perhaps I should fire a few, see how the rest slave for me all the harder…o well… suspension… ugh… just wait 'til those idiots at school find out that Thee Seto Kaiba got suspension… with her… wow… Serenity… He stumbles over the doorframe and trips into the hall. Damn that's embarrassing! In my own house too, in front of my goddamn butler! Alright, act natural! He stands up as if nothing had happened and glares at the trembling man standing beside him. "Stupid butler… Go find something to polish. And tell my chauffeur to bring the limo around."
"Yes sir, right away sir." And he ran off, too happy to be away from the cold-hearted Kaiba brat. It'd be a shock and a miracle if he were to ever find a friend or even a girlfriend!
In his room, Seto prepares to leave. Lucky me… I get to spend the day in suspension! … I guess I'll wear the usual… Chikusho, Mokie's been wearing my black muscle shirts again… ah, here's a clean one…ugh, never-mind, it's got a ice cream stain on it… stupid laundresses, can't wash a single shirt right… o well, no one will notice. He tugs the tight shirt over his head, hiding the spot with his signature white overcoat. Ooo… I just love the feel of silk in the morning!
An hour later finds the gang gathered around the main entrance of the school building, amidst snow flurries and icy winds, waiting for Mr. Grim to open the doors and let them in. Serenity keeps to herself in a darkened corner, clutching her treasured diary. There's no point in being with people who don't like me… Stay away from Tristan…And try to be invisible… She has the sudden sensation of being watched, and she turns her head slightly to catch a glimpse of who it is. Her eyes meet Seto's, and for a moment she notices that his face is rigid as usual, but there's something about his eyes….It's as if they're smiling at me…And then his face imitates his eyes, and he smiles at her, a genuine and somewhat flirty smile. And as quickly as the smile appears, it vanishes without a trace. Serenity blushes and turns away. Um… o-k, what just happened here?! Did I just see Seto smile? At me?! She sighs…He's got a really nice smile though…and he's so hot! She blushes again, grateful for the darkness surrounding her in her little corner. Grinning a little grin of her own, Serenity opens her diary and begins to write.
Mr. Grim opens the front doors and escorts the group into Room 101, a small, melancholy classroom with dreary gray walls and few windows. "You are to serve out your suspension here, and I don't expect to see anyone missing when I return!" With that, he firmly shuts the door behind him and strolls around the vacant halls, his footsteps echoing as he walks. Tall blue lockers line both sides of the hallway, interrupted only by the wooden doors of empty classrooms. Every light in the building is off, and he is apprehensive…Precisely 12:30 PM… This place still gives me the creeps… o-k, I suppose I could take that literally considering these stupid kids who have suspension… He locks the front doors, just in case. You can never tell with little hooligans like these…hooligans, hooligans, hooligans…hey, I like that word…hoo-li-gans…
Inside the room, Yugi and his friends shrug and choose their seats. From the doorway where he stands, Seto gazes warily at the multi-colored haired child, as he seemed, and watches as the Mutt and Yugi's other friends swarm around him- except for Serenity. She sits off in the back left corner, alone and unnoticed. Why is she over there and not with that idiot boyfriend of hers? Is she avoiding them all? Then again, I don't blame her… that Yugi kid is a freak! His thoughts are interrupted as the door behind him suddenly opens again and Marik and Bakura are dragged in, screaming, struggling, and biting the frantic Mr. Grim. "Get in here boys! Don't do the crime if you can't do the time! …Argh!!! You little monster, put that little gold stick thing back in your pocket and stop hitting me with it or I'll confiscate it and it will be mine! Same goes with that necklace! Ack!" Yugi, Joey, and Tristan snicker as they watch the bizarre scene before their eyes. Marik is attempting to beat Mr. Grim over the head with his Millennium Rod as Bakura strangles the poor man with his Millennium Ring. "Aaagh! Stop it you brainless bastards, that's quite enough!"
Marik and Bakura instantly stop, their faces expressing nothing more than impish grins. "Oooo, the Hall Nazi said a bad word! Naughty Hall Nazi, you shouldn't have said that!"
"O yes, you definitely shouldn't have said that." The thick British accent seems to make the words hang in the air, circling the wary Hall Nazi—or perhaps it is just the appearance of dark shadows. "Naughty Hall Nazi must be punished! Shouldn't say bad wor-rds!" A sudden chill circulates through the room as the murky shadows engulf the entire area. "Prepare to have a little visit to the Shadow Realm!"
"Stop!" Yugi jumps forward.
"Aw, is the wittle-bitty Pharaoh going to try and stop us?! Yes, well go ahead and try! I'm not afraid of you, Pharaoh, and if I were you, I'd watch my back. I'm everywhere, Pharaoh, don't think you'll ever be stronger than me!" Marik's eyes glower with threats and malice, but he turns away from the group. "Come on, Tomb Robber. There's work to be done, and minds to torment- as always," he sings cheerfully. Bakura and Marik fade into the shadows as the room brightens and clears. There's no trace of them, or of the notorious Mr. Grim.
"Uh… alright, so who's going to tell Brad [Name has been changed!] where his dad went?!" Tristan wonders aloud before he ducks from Joey's flying fist.
"Ya know, Tris, I kinda think we got bigga problems hea! We're locked in da fricken' buildin', those psychos Marik and Bakura are loose somewhere, and I wanna fuckin' go home!"
"Joey's right! We're locked in for the rest of the day, maybe even all night, so we might as well make the best of it and find somewhere to stay where those guys can't find us… if they do, there's no telling what will happen…"
Serenity, emerging from her hidden corner, finally speaks up. "Joey, I have an idea…"
"Shut up, Seren, can' ya see I'm tryin' ta think hea! Go play wit some toys or somethin', let the big kids handle this!" He is irritable and hungry, and he doesn't have time for baby games.
Her cheeks burn as she evaporates back into the shadows. What's going on??? That's not my brother…He's… different…"Right now I could be out somewhere with the gang, all warm and cozy, sipping hot cocoa and maybe singing some Christmas carols…" She whispers for only the darkness to hear.
Duke opens the classroom door and steps out. "You guys stay here for a minute, I wanna take a quick look around, maybe bring back some food—I'm starving! Back in a sec." He runs out the door and down the halls.
"Duke, wait! Dammit, he's headed for trouble… alright, let's split up and find him; we're safer in groups… Uh… Alright, Yugi and Joey, you go down towards the back gym, Mai and I will check upstairs."
Caught up in the moment, Joey and Yugi race outside barely noticing Tristan's triumphant smirk. "Let's go!" The four rush out of the room and branch off in different directions, leaving Serenity and Seto behind. Seto watches them leave, then stands up and slowly circles the room. Interesting… very interesting… so the Mutt's lost his little girlfriend to Pointy-Head and he's too stupid to even realize it… He sneaks a glance into Serenity's corner. And they left her behind… Dumb Mutt's losing it… ah, but to my own advantage! He walks towards the door and closes it, then stands quietly in the corner.
Serenity steps out from the shadows, certain that she has been left alone in the room. So I guess that's it huh? I just don't matter…"Hi." A voice from somewhere in the room causes her to jump. Behind her stands Kaiba, the snobbish, pompous assailant… but he's smiling again… And he seems almost… cheerful… "So I guess they left you here too? Do you wanna go for a walk?" This can't be the same guy…and why's he being so… so nice? She nods slowly and moves to open the door, but he has already opened it and is waiting outside. "Come on, let's go…" To her surprise, he takes her hand, and they begin to walk down the dim hallway. O-k, now I'm convinced! The entire universe has been taken over by alien clones and I'm the only human left… yup, that must be it…
Duke wanders aimlessly in the halls downstairs, his feet making no sound on the speckled green floor tiles. His small dice earrings dangle and bounce as he swings his head around in an attempt to clear his thoughts. That room is way too tense for me! Honestly, I can't tell who's mad at who anymore, seems like everyone hates everyone else! Maybe I shouldn't have left them alone in there, Tristan's up to something and it can't be good…it's never good… A distinct grumbling noise alerts him of his own problems. Man, I'm starving! Guess I should go find something to eat… damn, didn't think to bring any change, vending machines are out then… maybe the kitchen will have something good… Making a left at the end of the speckled green hallway, Duke takes his time getting to the kitchens. "Alright! Food at last!" He yanks the freezer door open and browses through the selections. "Hmm… hey, a turkey! I could really go for a big slice of turkey right about now…" He gazes sadly and the frozen bird and then to the locks on the oven dials. "Damn cooks… how's a guy s'posed to eat frozen food?!" The lab! The Bunsen burners in the Chem lab! "Brilliant!" He grabs a box of stuffing and a few cans of veggies off the shelves. Duke, spurred on by the thought that he will soon have a delicious Thanksgiving-like meal within minutes, runs upstairs to the lab with his findings. And from the murkiest shadows of the kitchen, just feet away from where he once stood, a glowing orb appears about six feet off the ground. "Dukey-boy, we'll soon be meeting…"
Finally alone with Mai! And the Mutt didn't even notice! Time to make my move…though better take it slow for this to work right… "Mai, there's something I gotta tell you…" Tristan grabs her arm to stop her steady stride. Keep it cool… "Hold up, hold up…"
"Tristan, can it wait? I kinda really wanna get back to Joey…" She smiles and whispers, "I think he's the one!"
Like hell he is! Tristan shows no emotions, but inside he is seething. Trust me, babe, by tonight, that guy'll be me! "I know what you mean… It was like that with Serenity and me…" Tristan knows that Mai knows nothing about his meeting with Serenity in the laundry room the previous night. And that little lack of knowledge is gonna stay that way 'til I get what I want!
"Really?" Mai looks skeptical. "I figured you two would have broken up by now…" Those two are the best example of the world's worst couple… what a mismatch…
"Yea, we did, last night… she wanted to… I dunno what happened, it was all so perfect… But you know, people change… people drift apart…" He shrugs. "I guess there's such a thing as too much of a good thing." I think she believes me… perfect…
"Yea, I guess so… this is kinda nice…"
"Hmm?"
"Just walking around the halls and talking with you… it's... different… not like when I'm with Joey or Tea or Seren… all Joey wants to do is make out all the time, and Tea blabs nonstop about what she and Yugi plan to do over the weekend and Serenity's been so quiet lately that she and I never know what to talk about if we ever even do…"
"Yea… Hanging out with the guys, well you know what that's like… well, alright, as a girl you do... but we guys, all we do is duel or talk about girls it seems… well, that and dis Kaiba, we're always up for that… but we never really sit and talk about serious stuff… not like this…"
"Weird, isn't it? … We should do this more often…" Just not too often or Joey might find out that I like you better! And that I have for a long time…
"Yea, we should." O yea! Tristan's in da house!!! In his thoughts he adopts a sinister cackle. So, Doctor, all goes according to plan? Eee-hee-hee! "How bout we hang out in 213 for a bit… it's my favorite room in the whole school…"
"Why's that?"
Tristan only grins. "You'll see!" He leads her to the room at the corner of the hall and pulls a key from his jeans pocket.
"Where'd you get that?!"
Tristan's grin grows. "OD gave me my own key cuz of all the stuff I do during the school concerts… I figure it's a way he shows he trusts me… Come on, I'll show you around." He enters a small, chilly room inside 213 and flips a light switch. "This is our school's third (and very private) computer room. Not a lot of people know about it, OD only tells people who work for him…" A long desk with about 6 computers is against the east wall. He closes the door behind them, sits down at one of the computers and turns it on [A/n: sorry to interrupt, but due to possible questions about that last phrase "turns it on," I'd like to clarify: I MEAN IT LITERALLY YOU PERVERT!!! sorry to disturb, please continue.]. "Care to play a game or two?" Mai nods and sits down in the wheeled chair beside him. Tristan takes her hand in his, and with his other hand he pulls her chair closer to him. Mai is surprised for a moment, but Tristan doesn't seem to notice. Perfect… the words BACKYARD BASEBALL pop up on the screen. "I'll show you how to play…" [Again, literally people! Not like… like in that song… if you don't know, don't ask… --" oy…] He put her hand on the mouse, and with his hand on top of hers he gently guided the mouse around. Suddenly, without notice, he kisses her lips. She doesn't stop him, nor does she hold back.
"Come on, Yug, I dunno what's taking Mai and Tristan so long to check upstairs but I don't like it. If Marik and Bakura got to them… "Joey sprints up the stairs two at a time until he arrives at the top.
"Go ahead Joey, I'll meet you in a minute…" Yugi breathlessly gasps. I've never seen Joey this freaked out… though I wonder what could've happened…o well, off to the snack machines! His mind feels a sharp prod from his Hikari. Dammit you, I can't help Joey on an empty stomach! Shut up and stay quiet or I'll have Marik send you to the shadow realm along with that freakish "friendship" girl! I swear I will! She touches me one more time and…Stop poking me, will you!!! YOU STUPID LITTLE SHRIMP STOP POKING ME!!! I AM PHARAOH!!! Yugi runs off in search of food, mentally fighting with his Hikari the entire way.
Joey nods and runs off. Hey, what's dat?! He hears the faint whisper of a cheering crowd coming from the other end of the hallway. What the hell is dat??? Betta be on my guard… He follows the noise to the door of a classroom—room two-one-three. The door is slightly ajar, as if it were opened and ignored. Pushing it open, he spots an eerie glow from behind a closed door with a large glass window built into it. He peers into the window, his eyes becoming hollow and barren, a similar space in his heart. So this is what it's like… The particular feeling is hard for him to pinpoint. He shifts through a range of emotions, words and thoughts flying through his head. Betrayal…agony…hatred…Mai…He drifts to the staircase, lying on the cold hard stone floor. Surely death isn't as cruel as this…
Duke rummages around the Chem lab for a Bunsen burner and some matches. Bingo…He attaches the burner to the gas line with an old hose and lights a match. He doesn't notice the hissing of the escaping gas from the punctured hose. Almost instantly, the burner lights up and flames dance around the lab bench. "AH!" Duke attempts to doge the conflagration but trips over his own two feet right into the midst of it all, knocking himself out cold. Just before the flames consume his entire body and as he fades from consciousness, Duke glimpses a glowing yellow eye before his face and a glint of silver scissors and hears the most blood chilling chuckle he had ever heard in his life. "So long, Devlin. Your powerless little dice are of no real use to me anyway…"
Seemingly hours later, Mai rests her head on Tristan's shoulder, slightly tired and a little wary. What Joey doesn't know won't kill him…right?! "Tristan… all of this… if Joey…"
"Shh… I understand, it'll just be our little secret… He'll never find out, trust me. So where do we go from here?"
Mai hugs him and kisses his cheek. "Though I'd love to stay here forever with you, we should probably go back downstairs before they come looking for us…" She quickly tugs on her tight lavender mini and spaghetti strap tank, making sure the straps stay up lest Joey even ponder for a moment why they're down.
"Yea, you're right… let's go." He shuts down the computer and locks all the doors securely before heading down the corner stairs, fixing his clothing as he goes. Easier than I expected…
Serenity is baffled. If this is what winter is like with these people I'm afraid to see what they're like come spring! Seto has been unusually quiet this whole time, but he fervently holds on to her hand as if it were one of his precious Blue Eyes White Dragon cards.
They walk about the hallways, grabbing a quick snack in the cafeteria, until Seto stops at the Library/Media Center, the site of the incident that landed him here. I should probably apologize to her... But now isn't the time… Oh my god is my breath ok? Ah, no time to check… Hair isn't flying all over the place? It's fine…say something! Talk... about anything! Come on, since when is the Great Seto Kaiba nervous?! He silently gulps. When he's with the prettiest girl he's ever seen… "So, uh… wanna go in and talk or something?"
He sounds like a little boy again, unsure of himself and anxious. Serenity can tell that he's just as nervous as she is. "Yea, alright." They enter the unlocked room and turn the lights on. Serenity seats herself at one of the small circular tables in the back and he sits beside her. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
"I dunno… anything I guess, if it's ok with you…"
"Yea it's fine… sooo… uh… what's your favorite book?"
"Well.. You'll think it's weird, but The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger…"
"No way! I love that book! It's not weird at all that you like it, it's really a great book…"
"And yours?"
"Well, I really like The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton… I've read it so many times, it's as if the characters are my best friends… Ponyboy is pretty cool… ooo, but Dally's my fave, he's such a bad-boy but he's got a big heart…double plus."
Ah, so she's into the bad-boy thing… hmm…ah, right, Tristan and the motorcycle… "No kidding??? Same here, Dally and Ponyboy… Alright, favorite color."
"Easy one—blue. All shades, but especially ocean blue." She peers warmly at him, specifically his face. "…Like your eyes…"
He smiles. [ya know, there's a hellova lotta smiling in this…] "Blue's my favorite too…Here's a strange question: What's your favorite flower?" 50 bucks says it's a rose…
Serenity sighs. "Roses… they're so beautiful, and sooo romantic… ooo, I just love the smell of my rose garden in the spring…I can't wait for winter to be over… I miss my garden…"
Score 1 for the Kaiba-man! "Really?" He pulls something from the inner pocket of his jacket and presents it to her. It is a single scarlet rose in full bloom, a rare treasure in the snow and ice. "For you." He smiles as her eyes light up and she accepts it.
"Where did you…how did you…it's beautiful…thank you." Seren is stunned. O-k, either he's powerful enough to control nature or he's found the Fountain of Youth…either way… ooo…She remembers that they were in the middle of a conversation. "And now yours?"
And so the conversation goes on, a lively but quiet question and answer session that lasts until well past 5 o'clock. Serenity's eyes sparkle with glee as she discovers the hidden similarities between her and the mysterious Seto Kaiba. Who would've thought that hidden beneath the ice was… was this?
He haunts the stairwell, neither wanting to leave or having the will power to get up from where he lay. How could she… how could either of them… I never shoulda let dem run off like that… He mindlessly glides off the stairs and roams the downstairs hallways… The lights are on in the media center. Weird… o well, might as well... as long as I don't find dem in dere makin' out or somethin' worse… He begins to pull the door open but turns around instead to see Mai and Tristan come up behind him.
"Hey, there you are, Joey, we couldn't find Duke anywhere upstairs…" Tristan begins to explain.
Yea, I'm sure you couldn't, it might've helped if you had actually looked somewhere other than inside each other's mouths! He keeps his voice as normal as possible. "Yea, Yugi an' me didn' find 'im eitha…"
"Joey, who's in there? Why are the lights on?"
Joey doesn't answer Mai. He pulls open the doors and slips inside the room, followed by Mai and Tristan. They scan the room quickly for anyone. What the fuck is goin' on in hea?! I see flowers… that can only mean one thing!!! "SERENITY MICHELLE WHEELER, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT BASTARD!!!"
Seto and Serenity jump and stare at Joey. "Joey, where have you been all day?"
"That's none of ya concern, now do as I said, get the hell away from him!"
"But Joey, I don't understand—"
"Of course you don't, you're just a stupid little kid, now get away from him before I have to hurt one of you!"
Tears welled up in her eyes. Why is he acting like this? "No!"
"Serenity, I'm not in da mood to play games wit ya, come on, we're leaving! You got no business hangin' out wit guys like him!" he spits the word out with utter disgust. He grabs her arm and drags her towards the door.
"No, Joey! Stop it you're hurting me! Leave me alone, Joey, you wouldn't understand!"
Furious, Joey glares at her before he viciously shoves his way past Mai and Tristan and storms out of the media center. Mai and Tristan hesitate then follow Joey out.
"Serenity, maybe you should go with him…" Seto speaks up.
"No, Seto!" I wanna be with you!"
END CHAPTER 4Tuff: um…from The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Awesome book! Means cool, sharp… not like the word "tough" but pronounced the same way!
Chikusho- means "damn" in Japanese!
OD is my Honors English 2 teacher… I don't wanna use his real name (cuz god knows he might actually be reading this!!!) but he's a "famous" author anyway so you may have heard of him… this is just a nickname I gave him while writing this so that I'm not really giving away his name…
Hey, does anyone find it weird that Mai is wearing spaghetti straps and a mini skirt in the middle of December?! just noticed that… o well, from now on I won't even mention what they're wearing, you can make up your own outfits for all I care! And I kinda just made up a middle name for Seren, I have no idea why I picked Michelle. No, that's not my first name or middle name or anyone in my family, but I have a friend or two named Michelle… but that's not why I picked that name either… o well…
And did I ever tell you about the "Wear Googles!!!" sign in the Chem lab?!
5/25/04- OH MY GOD!!! Had the GREATEST dream last night, Seto was actually human, you know, 100% mortal human flesh instead of ink and paper (shame bout the mortal part…) but he was SOOO HOT!!! So, from now on, what ever I write about him physically will be about the human him and not the drawing… you should've seen him… wow… " right, sorry, just had to say that! Kaiba's a real boy!
6/29/04- sorry it took me so long—I was on vacation (Bahamas are sooo nice this time of year!) and I had a, uh... well, a little injury to my hand and I posted this and un-posted this just before I left cuz I forgot to re-edit and all… long story… By the way, I think this chapter is lame!!! What do you think???
