Hey guys! I'm sorry for the long delay. I'm back now and ready to bring you more from this story. In all honesty, this is the most fun story I've written, being it's one where I don't know where it's going to go. Review please!
It had been a long day and Mary-Sue decided to get some sleep. She was tired and sore from her long working day. It felt as if she had not worked a day in her life or in a very long time. She placed on a loose night gown that felt soft and silky like a kimono. Kaiba had told her that bedtime was at 9:00 and was to be in bed with the lights out by then. It was only 15 minutes until her curfew at this time, yet she still had not gained back her memories. In many ways, Mary-Sue felt ….
"I don't know what to feel," Mary-Sue whispered, while staring at the glass window at the dark sky.
The pendant was still around Mary-Sue's neck, still unsolved. Mary-Sue began remembering the vision she saw. Did this pendant belong to that girl she saw? Yet, it didn't feel that way. She just knew this pendant was hers, but why was it around the other girl's neck? Was it stolen? Did she give it to the girl in her vision? Were they friends? Mary-Sue wished she knew the answer.
Falling asleep in her bed, the pendant around Mary-Sue's neck began to slow and another vision appeared. Mary-Sue found herself in the ancient palace again, only this time it was near an opening to the garden. She shyly began walking into the garden, looking around to search for anyone that could give her some answers. She guided her hand to where the pendant was, realizing she was wearing it this time.
"What is this? Miss... the one that keeps narrating, could you tell me where I am? I'm lost," Mary-Sue asked me in fear.
I would, but then it would take away the mystery and nobody likes spoilers. At least everyone, except me, hates spoilers, but I'm weird that way XD
"But... I don't know what's going on? I don't even know who I am!" Mary-Sue whined as she backed up, then accidentally bumped into someone, making her scream.
"M'lady, it's alright. I'm sorry for scaring you," A man, who looked exactly like Seto Kaiba with an Ancient Egyptian priest outfit.
"Wait, did priests from Ancient Egypt call noble women 'm'lady'? I think that's in England during the Dark Ages," Mary-Sue pointed out.
I like that name and Priest Seto sounded like a knight from English Mythology in the English dub, if you ask me.
"He does?"
"I shall protect thee from thy foes. Wherefore art thou lookest me like that?" Seth asked, making Mary-Sue's eyes widen and blink.
Actually, it was only in LittleKuriboh's Abridged series that Priest Seto acted that way, but who cares? People usually use Yugioh characters from LittleKuriboh's series in their parodies anyways.
"Isn't that plagiarism? Also, I can't understand a word he just said. Can you just make him sound... normal?" Mary-Sue asked me.
Not under Fair Use, which this is under. Besides, I love medieval Seto. Yami, what do you think?
"Honestly, I think he sounds hilarious," Yami smirked, getting out his smartphone and recording the whole thing for blackmail.
"Why is Yami with a smartphone in Ancient Egypt? Even if he was from modern times, doesn't Yugioh take place in 1997?"
My story, my choice. Besides, he was getting kinda bored.
"Seriously, most of this story involves you and Kaiba. I'm hardly in this story," Yami said, sighing as he crossed his arms.
King of Games has a good point **shrugs**
"I guess?" Mary-Sue replied, rubbing the back of her neck before looking back at Priest Seto. "I guess it won't be so bad having a medieval-talking Seto Kaiba." She waved awkwardly. "Uh... so... how are you today?"
"I doeth well, M'lady. Doth I serve thee well?" Priest Seto.
Okay, typing medieval grammar is hard, I'm going back to modern English language.
"Thank goodness!" Mary-Sue sighed in relief.
"Damnit, and it was getting good!" Yami complained.
No worries, I'll get you something good. Look, here's a cookie. **gives cookie**
"Cookies are always a yes in my books," Yami replied happily, taking the cookie, then eating it.
"My apologies for scaring you. Are you lost, Princess?" Priest Seto asked.
"Princess!?" Mary-Sue asked with widened eyes, then staring at me.
Uh... **is holding a packet reading 'WHY MARY-SUE IS A PRINCESS,' then throws it into the Nile River** oops.
"Princess, you look unwell, shall I take you to your room?" Priest Seto asked.
"Th-That's fine," Mary-Sue replied hastily, then took a deep breath. "Have you seen a girl... brown hair, blue eyes, might've been seen wearing this pendant?"
"Your engagement necklace? Did someone try to steal it!? Whoever stole from you shall be punished!"
"N-No, it's fine. She just... wore a necklace like mine is all. I just wanted to know, if you've seen her," Mary-Sue quickly corrected herself. "And engagement necklace!?"
"Yes, you are engaged to marry Pharaoh Atem, but we haven't seen anyone of the likes, I'm afraid," Priest Seto replied.
Unfortunately, since Mary-Sue's memories have been wiped out, Mary-Sue doesn't remember who Pharaoh Atem is. She begins pondering who this mysterious man could be that is supposed to be her future husband in this timeline. It also made her uncomfortable, being she was about to be married to someone she didn't know in this timeline. This was on top of everything else that's happened to her. She lost her memories and, in trying to gain them back, she felt more confused than ever before. It was like gaining three pieces from a 200 piece puzzle.
"Is everything alright, M'lady?" Priest Seto asked; and I'm going to make 'M'lady' an exception, so everyone hush up.
"Fine," Yami replied next to me, while rolling his eyes. "But, Mary-Sue has seen me already. How can she not know who I am?"
**throws a packet titled 'REASON FOR WHY MARY-SUE REMEMBERS YAMI, BUT FORGETS ATEM IN THE NEXT SCENE' into the Nile River**
"Figured that would be your answer," Yami smirked, while pulling out a bucket of popcorn right out of his ass.
"I'm fine. It's just a lot has been going on is all," Mary-Sue replied shyly as Priest Seto smiled.
"It must be from the stress of being married. Everything will go well, I promise," Priest Seto replied with a loving smile.
"Thank you," Mary-Sue replied, showing a small blush, then tries to hide it as Priest Seto takes notice of it, then shows a curious look before hearing loud footsteps from inside the palace.
"What was that?" Mary-Sue asked, looking directly at the entrance to the palace.
"Your majesty, stop running off again!" Mary-Sue heard an old man cry out from inside the palace, who seemed to be running out of breath before sighing. She could see the man from the entrance to the palace. "He's gone... again."
"Gone?" Mary-Sue wondered in a quite tone, her hand to her mouth as she looked to her left and noticed Priest Seto heading toward an area that seemed sacred. "Seto?"
Mary-Sue began quietly following Priest Seto, making it her mission to find out what this dream is trying to tell her. She was so confused and full of questions that were unanswered. The room she entered seemed dark, but there was a pit with a single walkway leading across the pit. At the bottom of the pit was all blackness, but monstrous creatures could be heard from far below. Two chairs were far across from the pit, Priest Seto being seen sitting in one of them. Some of the creatures that appeared from the pit looked so real and monsterious, making Mary-Sue tremble in fear.
The two creatures began battling each other, without leaving from the pit, despite the fact it seemed like they could. Mary-Sue jumped back as soon as the creatures began to fight, then slipped into one of the chairs across from the pit, which felt throne-like. It was the empty one next to the one Priest Seto was sitting in. Mary-Sue gulped, then bit her bottom lip, while watching the fight commence, continually questioning how those monsters are able to fight without setting this room ablaze. She gazed toward Priest Seto, who was smiling with greedy satisfaction.
Mary-Sue fearfully gazed her eyes toward the fight, then felt Priest Seto's eyes on her. She turned her eyes toward the priest, who furrowed his brows with curiosity. A smirk then played across his lips.
"Enjoying yourself?" Priest Seto asked.
"I... suppose... how are they fighting without attacking us?" Mary-Sue asked.
"They are Ka's and this is used to test the strength of each Ka. They are under my control," Priest Seto replied, then his eyebrows rose. "Perhaps you would like to test your strength against me, M'lady? I wouldn't say, 'no.'"
"S-Sure... if I had a Ka of my own."
Priest Seto burst into laughter, then boasted, "everyone has a Ka inside them, especially you. Those of royalty were especially trained in the arts of Diaha."
"I guess that makes sense. Alright, we can have a Diaha," Mary-Sue replied, accepting the challenge as Seto smirked at the challenge.
"Seto is going to cream her or would, if this was based off of cannon," Yami replied to me with his mouth full of popcorn.
Perhaps.
Mary-Sue found herself instantly on one side of the Diaha platform, because I said so, while Priest Seto walked to the other side. Seto showed his usual smirk as a tablet lifted up and showed the picture of the infamous Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The beautiful white dragon with blue eyes instantly appeared out of the tablet with a thunderous roar.
"Wait, wait, hold on! Priest Seto didn't get that Blue-Eyes White Dragon until after defeating Zorc," Yami said, stopping me.
Wrong again, because first off, what was shown on the tablet by Ishizu and what was shown in Memory World took place in two completely different locations. Memory World was an RPG game developed by Yami Bakura BASED off of your life before your soul was sealed into the Millennium Puzzle. Just like how movies based off of real life can't be seen as 100% accurate to what actually happened, Memory World shouldn't be taken as what actually happened during your ancient past. For all we know, you and Priest Seto could've had that ancient battle earlier or later than what Millennium World showed. Second, this is an AU, meaning that this isn't completely related to cannon. I mean there are eight millennium items and one of them is a literal boot. Third, Blue-Eyes White Dragon is awesome. Also, this is my story.
"You are right in all of those parts," Yami replied, nodding his head.
Mary-Sue gasped in fear with widened eyes, gazing at the white dragon in awe as Priest Seto smirked, bragging, "how do you like my dragon, M'lady? She is a beauty and you are one of the few opponents to gaze upon her beauty!"
"Y-Yeah... she is," Mary-Sue squeaked, biting her bottom lip, then taking a deep breath. "Okay, summon me a powerful monster. Any kind, please." She closed her eyes, trying hard to summon any powerful monster, the first that came into her mind. She gasped as she noticed the glowing gold boot she remembered wearing before, it was the boot that gave her powers. Suddenly, a powerful magician girl with long brown hair, a dress with a turquoise top and purple skirt, turquoise boots and a purple staff. "Whoa."
"Ha, you think that weak little magician girl is going to defeat me!? She looks as weak as Mahad's pupil!"
"Hey, don't insult her! She... She's more powerful than that dragon of yours!"
"We'll see. Blue-Eyes, attack that weak magician with white lightning!"
Mary-Sue screamed, covering her face before noticing the blazing white light, then peaked her eyes open. The magician she summoned dodged the attack, while protecting her master. She looked up at the female magician fearfully before recognizing her face. It was the face of the girl she saw in her last vision.
"Who are you?" Mary-Sue asked in whisper as the magician began showing a smirk. The female magician turned around, then shot a dark ball of magic at Mary-Sue, making her scream before she opened her eyes, finding herself in the body of the female magician she summoned. "Wha...?" She looked back and saw the girl, now in the ancient clothes Mary-Sue once wore with a smirk across her lips and eyes full of satisfaction. It was as if she held some sort of vendetta against Mary-Sue and had finally succeeded.
"Blast her with white lightning!" Priest Seto shouted as the dragon began blasting white lightning from it's mouth toward Mary-Sue's direction, who was now the magician girl she summoned.
"SETO, WAIT! STOP! AHHHHHH!" Mary-Sue screamed, trying to cover herself with her arms.
Mary-Sue shot straight up from her bed, gasping for breath before finding herself in the bed she slept in with her night gown on. Sweat was painted on her face and she was panting, feeling her heart pound against her chest. What was that? Why did that girl look at her like that? It was obviously in attempt to hurt her, but why? She didn't seem to hold that kind of vengeance during the earlier vision. What was going on? Why did she look at Mary-Sue like that? Then, something stuck in Mary-Sue's head.
Before the blast of white lightning hit Mary-Sue, she saw Priest Seto's face change in a split second. It was as if he finally saw what was really happening and was worried for her safety. No sound came from his mouth, but his lips read a single name. Mary-Sue didn't know what name it was, but she was certain it was her own. It was her real name, not the name she knew of herself, which was Mary-Sue. Priest Seto was crying out her real name, but why? What was their connection? Why did this girl do this to her? Who was this Pharaoh she was supposed to marry and why did she now feel so discouraged and disappointed by knowing he was her fiancée in her vision?
Mary-Sue threw the covers off her and ran from the bed. She opened the door, zooming down the dark hallway, down the stairs, not knowing where she was going. She didn't know where she was running to, but she could feel the burn in her eyes as liquid began forming. By the time liquid began trailing down her cheeks, Mary-Sue opened the door to a room she didn't know or recognize, revealing a balcony. She stared at the sky, slowly closing the door behind her as the wind blew against her.
It was a dark and quiet night with the moon glowing among the few sparks of stars in the sky. Mary-Sue stared at the ground, watching as drops of liquid fell from her cheeks to the ground one by one. What was wrong with her? What did all of this mean? What did the dream mean? Why did her heart feel so shattered?
There was something about that dream. There were a few things Mary-Sue was certain of. She must have lived an ancient life of some sort, married or to be married to a man she did not know. Perhaps she once did before losing her memories. She also shared some sort of connection with Kaiba, but didn't know what. There was also that girl, who wore the necklace around her neck in the first vision. But... why did she wear it? According to Priest Seto, it was an engagement pendant. Why would it be given to that girl and why did she attack her in this latest vision? Mary-Sue began asking herself...
"Did I steal that engagement from her?" Mary-Sue whispered with a broken voice. Her trembling hand was placed upon her heart, leaving a bitter smile. "Is that why my heart feels so shattered?"
After a moment, Mary-Sue heard soft steps. She turned her face to see Kaiba in the shadows in a white robe. The two stared at each other for a few moments of silence. Then, Mary-Sue quietly trailed passed Kaiba with nothing to say. There was nothing to say. She didn't even bother wiping or covering her tears. It was pointless.
Suddenly, a hand was felt on Mary-Sue's shoulder from Kaiba. Mary-Sue looked up, then felt a handkerchief gently dry her wet cheeks. Afterward, Kaiba stuffed the handkerchief in his pocket, then awkwardly cleared his throat.
"Would you like me to take you to your room?" Kaiba asked as Mary-Sue nodded.
Kaiba quietly led Mary-Sue back into her bedroom, opening the door for her. She walked back into her room, still feeling shattered.
"Mary," Kaiba said as Mary-Sue slowly turned her head, looking at him. "If I was too hard on you... I'm sorry." Mary-Sue looked up at Kaiba in surprise, mouth slowly gaping. "I... I'm not good with people, even those that are hurting. I'm especially not good at sympathizing with others." Kaiba sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Though... I... I don't..."
"You're worried about me?" Mary-Sue asked as Kaiba furrowed his eyebrows in response. Though, she smiled. "Thank you. It isn't you. I'm just overwhelmed with everything that's been happening. I have no memory and I'm beginning to have dreams that don't connect to anything."
"I see."
"I'll be alright. I guess I just need some time alone," Mary-Sue admitted as Kaiba nodded in response, sighing. She giggled, then walked up and hugged Kaiba. "Despite what you say, I think you like me on the inside. So, I won't be afraid to say I may have a tiny crush on you. I have hope we'll go somewhere, if you give me a chance."
Kaiba snorted, then laughed, showing a daring smirk. He parted, then replied, "you actually believe you have a chance to win me? Do you realize how many fangirls would love to get a load of me?"
"I am. I have hope and I'm not willing to give up just yet. Though, I won't force you either. I... don't want to hurt you."
"Alright, I'll take you on that challenge. Let's see if Little Miss Siren can make Seto Kaiba fall in love with her, hm?"
"Challenge accepted!"
Kaiba snorted, keeping his smirk, as he began walking out the door. He looked back, then said, "goodnight, Siren."
"Night."
Kaiba closed the door, quietly, keeping the smirk. It seems like our Seto Kaiba is starting to like our main heroine. I can see it on your face.
"What you see is me finding it amusing a mary-sue would try to get me, Seto Kaiba, to fall in love with her," Kaiba replied.
It could happen. In this story, anything can happen.
"Don't make me laugh."
On the next chapter will be Mary-Sue's first day of school. What are these dreams? Will she gain back her memories? What is Tea's connection to all of this? Will Seto Kaiba finally fall in love with Mary-Sue.
"If he does, I'm never letting this die," Yami smirked.
"At some point in time, I will make sure you pay dearly for this," Seto grumbled at me.
Lolz I'd like to see you try.
"Isn't Tea going to finally make a major appearance in the next chapter?" Yami asked.
Actually, she is. Let's bring Tea here. Goodbye Yami. YOU'RE AWESOME!
"Wait, WHAT!?" Yami asked, widened eyes, before he suddenly disappeared in thin air and replaced by Tea Gardner.
Welcome to our preview, Tea. How was the afterlife? I don't think our audience got an explanation how you were alive, since you were kinda killed off in the first chapter.
"Didn't you raise me from the dead to spite Mary-Sue?" Tea asked.
Yeah, but our readers want to hear from you. How did you manage to survive being eaten by sharks and eels?
"Good question. I don't remember much. Either way, it was fun seeing the look on Mary-Sue's face when I placed her inside Magician of Valkyrie's body," Tea smirked, giggling.
"You sure are acting malicious," Kaiba said plainly.
"Well yeah! This girl brainwashed my friends and turned them against me! On top of that, she murdered me! This chick is a psycho!"
"Well, can't argue with that. She managed to control Yugi and all of his friends, turned them against one of the most annoying member of the group, then had her be eaten by man-eating sharks and eels. She's crazier than me... maybe being paired up with her won't be so bad," Kaiba smirked as Tea slowly turned her head toward him with widened eyes.
"You're insane."
"You do realize you're talking to the guy that forced Yugi and all of you inside a tower bent on killing all of you. Each floor included one where one of you had to fight against a serial killer in tar to save the little brat of a nephew of Tristan's, one with falling blocks that could flatten you like a pancake and one where I had three highly trained solders try to kill all of you with real guns disguised as toy guns, right?"
"Yes... I know."
