Chapter 9

"Duel Monsters?" Taka looked at Seto's cards.

"Yeah.. You could start dueling.."

"I don't really like the cards you have.." Taka sweat dropped.

Seto rolled his eyes. "And that's why you go get your own."

"Hey wait.. I like this one.." Taka showed Seto a card.

"Solar Flare Dragon?" Seto took the card. "After school tomorrow you can drop by a game shop somewhere and get some cards then."

"Alright, alright.." Taka grumbled.

xXx The Next Day xXx

"Neither of you can come with me!?" Taka exclaimed in the hall.

"Both of us have detention because of Bakura here.." Malik grumbled.

"Oi! You were in the way of hitting the teacher! He wouldn't have known I tried if you didn't shoot one back!" Bakura snarled.

"Shoot one what?!" Taka exclaimed.

"Spit balls.." Seto walked up to them.

"Oh my gods!" Taka held her head, "Can you come Seto?"

"Work.." Seto replied.

"I'm guessing that.. Is your excuse.."

"Hai." Seto smirked and nodded.

"You are all impossible." Taka started backing up.

But when she turned to head to class she bumped into the familiar blonde.

"Watch it!" Taka snapped when she stood.

"Well sorry princess.." Jou held up his arms and rolled his eyes as he walked off with Honda and the others again with a laugh.

Taka rolled her eyes and continued on.

"Oh come on Taka.. Stop being like this." Malik followed her.

"Well you're both retards.. And I don't find it funny.. Like genius over there.." Taka pointed at Bakura who was laughing.

"Look I don't find it funny either.." Malik sighed. "But we'll see you later.. I gotta head to detention.."

"Bye." Taka hugged him and Bakura before heading out of the school with Seto.

"We'll go to the mansion first.. So you can change.."

"Arigatou!" Taka exclaimed.

Once in the limo Seto had almost instantly pulled out his laptop. The limo drove on for a bit until it stopped at a different school. Mokuba ran from it, waving behind him at some other school kids. He got into the limo.

"Taka!" Mokuba hugged her.

Taka smiled and hugged Mokuba back. "Nice to see you too."

"Konnichi wa nii-sama." Mokuba went and sat with Seto.

Seto nodded a greeting as he continued his work. Mokuba smiled. Once they got to the mansion they all got out, heading to the large mansion. And once inside, Taka headed up the stairs to her room while Mokuba and Seto headed to do their own thing.. Taka came out around.. Ten minutes later wearing something she felt a hell of a lot more comfortable in. Jeans.. And a t-shirt. She ran down the stairs, almost tripping in the process and headed for the main door.

"I'm off nii-sama!" She called before heading out the door and down the amazingly long driveway and out the gate.

She put her hands behind her head as she walked pretty much care free down the street looking for a game shop of any sort. Only to find one with an old man sweeping in the front after awhile.

"Kame Game shop?" Taka read the song. "You don't happen to sell duel monsters do you?"

Sugoroku looked up.

"Oh! You're the Kaiba girl! I seen something on the news about you!"

"Whoa.. I'm going public.. But you didn't answer my question.."

"Why yes of course we do.. Come in, come in." Sugoroku walked inside with Taka following.

Taka looked around. Sweet and simple.. But something caught her eye. A picture.. It was of that Yugi kid, Atemu and Sora. They all were making peace signs and smiling.. Though Atemu was the only mature looking one..

'This must be their grandfather..' Taka glanced again at Sugoroku.

"See anything you'd want?" Sugoroku asked.

"Well there's.." Taka was about to start when the door opened.

"Grandpa we're home!" Yugi walked in happily.

Him, Atemu, Sora, Tsuki, Honda, Anzu, and Jou walked through the door.

"What is she doin' here?!" Jou exclaimed thinking of Taka as just another rich and moody Kaiba.

"Jou! That's no way to treat anyone!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Well.. She's a Kaiba not like she's gunna care.. She'll just smirk and call me a mutt or something." Jou rolled his eyes.

Taka's eye twitched and she walked over and pretty much sacked the poor blonde. When Jou fell to his knees in pain Taka crossed her arms.

"Actually I do care.. Just 'cause I'm a Kaiba doesn't mean I'm exactly like my brother.. Baka!" Taka grumbled. "I'll just take some duel monsters and leave.." She said in annoyance.

Sugoroku had been chuckling and he nodded.

"I'll just grab a few packages and take my leave." Taka grumbled in annoyance.

Sugoroku took out nine packages and Taka nodded to the number he had taken out and paid for them.

"Later..." Taka walked by a still pained Jonouchi with a smirk.

"Get back here!" Jonouchi called out angrily.

Everyone either sweat dropped or had a worried look on their face when Jou pretty much tipped from the pain. Tsuki kneeled beside Jonouchi and started to poke at him.

"Tsuki.." Atemu himself sweat dropped.

Tsuki grinned and stood again.

xXx Taka xXx

As Taka headed home one of the packs of cards glowed. Back at the mansion her millennium pendant glowed as well. A whisper was heard in the air. Taka stopped and turned.

"Hmm..." She shrugged and continued on.

As she walked footsteps were heard. She didn't bother turning this time, thinking it was nothing. But then a group of five people stepped in front of her. They were in an alley so Taka stopped.

"Whaddya want?" she asked.

"We want.. Malik and Bakura!" the voice was female.

"Eh?" Taka raised an eyebrow.

"You heard her!" another called.

"We are their biggest fans!" the third exclaimed.

"Oh great.. Obsessed fan girls.." Taka grumbled.

"We have the fan club and everything so lay off." the first growled.

"Sorry but they're my friends and I'm not going to ditch them for some weirdo's." Taka clenched a fist.

"I bet you don't know anything about them!" the fourth girl exclaimed.

"Uh.. Yeah I do.."

"Well then.. What's Bakura's favorite duel monster." the leader crossed her arms.

"Tch.. He told me that one.. Diabound." Taka rolled her eyes.

"Grr.. What about Malik's favorite subject." the second smirked.

"He doesn't have one.. They all bore him.." Taka yawned.

The second gasped and growled.

"Hmph.. Alright then.." the first narrowed her eyes.

xXx Back at the Game Shop xXx

Jonouchi sat in a chair now, feeling better.. After the ice. He growled in annoyance again before standing.

"I'm headin' home now." He said as he gathered his stuff.

"Alright. See you later Jou." Yugi smiled as Jou walked out the door.

Jonouchi pretty much stomped down the road. "The nerve of that chick." He grumbled.

xXx Taka xXx

So far Taka had every question the girls threw at her correctly. She yawned. "Can I go now.. This is boring."

The second girl growled. "That's it!" She ran at Taka and punched at her.

Taka looked at her and tried to block the assault with her arm. She did but was thrown off balance. Then the other's joined in. Taka was pushed over and she covered her head with her arms. She growled slightly.

But just as the girls were getting into beating Taka foot steps were heard.

"Gah! Let's get out of here!" the first exclaimed as she bolted off.

The other's followed. Jonouchi stepped by the alley.

"Eh?" He turned as he heard a groan.

When he seen Taka he ran into the alley. "Hey you alright?" He turned her over to see it was Taka. "You again!?" he exclaimed, before he realized that Taka was out like a light. "Grr.. Guess I have no choice.. But the hospital isn't around here.. I'll just take her back to Yug's." Jou picked up Taka.

He started towards the game shop again. Taka groaned again as Jou ran. It started to rain.

"Oh great!" Jou exclaimed as he ran a bit faster.

He pretty much kicked open the door, panting. The people who were left there jumped and turned. The people who were still there was pretty much only Tsuki .

"Jou.. What happened to her." Atemu jumped over the counter and went over to check out Taka.

Once Taka was taken from Jou and wrapped in a blanket while Jou was given a towel from Sora, Jou explained. "I didn't do 'dis to let you know.. I was headin' home and then I heard her.. In an alley and found her like this."

"I know you wouldn't have done something like this Jou." Atemu looked up at his friend.

"Hai.. I doubt you would sink low enough to beat up a girl." Tsuki snickered.

Jou growled and Atemu shook his head with a sweat drop.

"We had better inform Seto though.." Atemu took Taka upstairs into the room he had to share with Yugi and he lay Taka on his own bed. "This is only temporary.."

"Better be.." Tsuki growled from the door.

Atemu smiled and shook his head. Sugoroku walked in.

"Grandpa, you think you could fix her up?"

"Hai.. I learned some first aid for when I go on an exhibition." Sugoroku nodded and went and got the kit.

xXx After Awhile xXx

Taka awoke with a groan. She opened her eyes to see Atemu smiling at her.

"Oh good you're awake." he said.

Taka held her head for a second before she tried to get up. Her arm gave out on her and she just stay laying down.

"You broke your wrist.. So grandpa fixed it up for you." Atemu told her.

"I think I figured that out.. " Taka grumbled as she sat up.

A sneeze was heard. "Finally awake, Kaiba?" Jou walked into the room.

"Catching a cold, Jonouchi?" Taka narrowed her eyes.

"'Cause of you, yeah!" Jou snapped.

"Both of you enough!" Atemu snapped in annoyance. "Taka if it wasn't for Jou you would've been hurt worse then this so quiet."

Taka growled and turned away.

"That's right, Kaiba.." Jou sneered.

"Jou enough.."

"Alright, alright.."

Then the door was opened with a bit of force. Seto stood at the door. One look at Taka and he growled and grabbed Jou by the front of his shirt. "What did you do to her mutt!"

"Oi! Seto! He's the one who helped me!" Taka snapped.

Seto stopped and let go of Jou, who stumbled and fell. "Let's go then.." he went and helped Taka up.

The older Kaiba left and Taka followed with a small wink and a V sign before she left. Jou stayed sitting on the floor.

"You just had to call Seto.. Didn't ya?" Jou glared back at a sweat dropping Atemu.

"Well you're lucky he didn't want to stay with you around" Tsuki snickered.

"Urasai!" Jou exclaimed in complete annoyance.

Atemu laughed slightly as Tsuki went and sat with him and Jou stood with another sneeze.

xXx Taka xXx

Taka felt her pocket. "I thought I lost these.." She took out the last packet of duel monsters she had that she didn't loose.

"We'd better get you more then.. One pack won't make you a deck.. But this time.. From another place that isn't as pathetic as this." Seto looked back at her before getting into the limo.

Taka smirked and rolled her eyes before she also got in. The pack she held glowed in her pocket again as a silent laugh was heard. Taka took it out again and looked at in confusion but shrugged and put it away again.
