Yeah uh... I just kinda bullshitted this within... 2-3 hours. My mind refuses to think of a plot for this chapter and instead focused on future chapters. I got a few ideas for it and figured I should get it done so I could move on. It came out better then I thought it would but its still not the best. EITHER WAY, Chapter 4 is up! ENJOY
It didn't take long for the gang to find Dartz, and after reclaiming the Egyptian God cards, Yami felt a bit better about facing Dartz. Though the danger was still there.
"Ah, welcome, I've been waiting." Dartz said in a nonchalant manner.
He peered around the entrance. Taking note of how many people there were. His eyes fell on to Jesse, smiling slyly.
"I didn't know you hired a demon slayer. A back up plan I suppose?" He questioned knowingly.
The others looked at him in confusion. Demon slayer? What on earth was he talking about?
Yami instantly knew what he was talking about, looking toward Jesse who just stood there with a scowl on her face.
Shit. If this mad man says one more thing about me I'll have no choice but to…
Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. She looked over at Dartz, still smiling knowingly at her.
"Tell me Jessica, did you enjoy the welcoming gift I sent?" Dartz mocked, earning an intense glare from said person.
Jesse remained silent. She wasn't one for snarky comments.
She could feel the looks she was getting from the others. Worried, anger, confusion.
"Jesse, what the hell is going on? What is he talking about?" Kaiba snapped.
Kaiba couldn't take it anymore. So many questions came rushing through his head. He felt that Jesse had been lying to him the whole time. Who was she? WHAT was she? He hated not being able to understand. He hated the thought that she had been lying even more.
Dartz chuckled darkly at everyone's questioning reaction. "What did she not tell you? The whole reason why she's here? I guess I will then: She here for the same reason you are really. But only for pay. She doesn't care about your friends." Dartz smile grew wider.
"Jesse, please tell us he's lying." Tristen questioned.
"I knew it. I knew I couldn't trust you." Kaiba growled.
"What? What do you mean Seto?" Mokuba questioned his older brother worriedly.
"I saw her talk to the lieutenant. He must have paid her to 'defeat' Dartz. She doesn't care at all." Kaiba stated throw gritted teeth.
Jesse remained emotionless. Kaiba was right for the most part. She was paid. But not to just plainly 'defeat Dartz'. She was paid to kill. And not caring? That was a lie. If he stayed for the entire conversation, he wouldn't be thinking that.
Jesse sighed as she stepped forward, passed Yami and Kaiba. She pulled out a sword that had been hidden by her trench coat, pointing it toward Dartz.
"You have a really big mouth Dartz. Well, you are right. I was hired to kill you. But if it makes a difference, I do care what happens to the poor souls you've captured. But there's not much I can do about it." She stated plainly.
She readied herself to attack but was stopped by a hand oh her shoulder. She looked back to see it was the Pharaoh. He looked disappointed. Much like everyone else.
"Jesse, I don't care if you were merely a hired hand. But this is our fight to. We can't just simply let you kill him. We must save our friends." He stated clearly.
Jesse sneered. She wasn't in the mood to fight with him. But she couldn't let another human being get caught in this mess. If the Leviathan were able to revive, Jesse's job would only get more complicated.
She looked at him for a moment. There was no trace of hesitation, only determination. Her eyes narrowed into slits, but nodded in understanding.
"Fine, I won't stop you. Do what you want." She said coldly.
She sheathed her sword and began to walk away, only to be stopped by the sound of Kaiba's cold voice.
"Don't you dare just walk away from us. Once this is over, I have questions for you. And I won't let you just run away like a coward." He growled.
Jesse gave a mock smile. She knew it that was to come, and she was fully prepared for it. She will tell them the truth. And afterward, completely erase their memories of her. It was for the best.
"Fine then." She stated simply.
She leaned against the far wall of the room. Away from everyone else, watching Kaiba and Yami begin their duel with Dartz
Oh yes, BTW, I REFUSE to type up the duel with Dartz, Yami and Kaiba! I have tried putting the scene in words before in another fanfic I had worked on in the past and had completely failed! .
