Hello my beloved readers!
Sorry for the late update but I have been busy these past few days lol. So Samara has a nightmare that will be discussed more later in the story. I will be skipping Mai vs Marik's duel because it's not my favorite duel of the finals. Yami Marik also appears and he and Samara face off at the end of the chapter. Enjoy
Samara's Dream
Her POV
I held back a scream as the knife entered my left shoulder and it hurt. Above me stood the same human who murdered my sister, nearly six years later he was foolish to return to my pack's territory and to try and kidnap a young preteen she-wolf.
"Your sister was weak bitch and now you will join her"
He then plunged the knife deeper into my shoulder but I merely smirked.
"Despite being in pain you dare laugh at me?!"
"You're a coward hunting wolves when it's illegal to kill our kind even for sport, you will not harm anymore members of my pack while I am here to fight you even if I must die to do it you will learn your consequences you murdering bastard"
The hunter then slapped me across the face before he took out his knife already it's blade soaked in blood, my blood. He then sneered as it went back into my shoulder in a new direction and I could no longer hold back the screams as the human who murdered my sister continued his sick game.
Reality
Sam's POV
I woke up with a yelp. It had been a long time since that nightmare and now it was back. I merely placed a hand to my face while the door to my room opened.
"Hey Sam" Mokuba's voice rang out. I looked up to see the adorable black haired preteen walk towards me. However when he saw the way I was holding my face with my hand his kind blue gray eyes turned concerned.
"What happened?"
"Just a nightmare kid I'm fine I take it your brother sent you?"
"Yep Joey and Marik are about to start dueling"
I simply nodded and I got to my feet. I still wore my boots and I went to grab my duel disk. As I strapped it on Mokuba asked.
"How is your arm Seto told me it got scratched up pretty bad earlier?"
I turned to the younger Kaiba brother and smiled at him.
"It doesn't hurt much right now"
"I'm glad to hear that you really scared me when you fell onto the arena during your duel"
The memory of when Bakura's ghost attacking me through Smaug was still fresh in my mind.
"You're not going to tie your hair up?" Mokuba asked as we headed towards the door of my room.
"Nah to be honest if I did pull it back it would only get loose again" I let Mokuba go out the door first before I followed. My deck was in its holder beneath my tank top, I had quickly swiped my leather jacket too and put it on.
"To be honest it looks better down I like the way it's spiky towards the ends" Mokuba complimented and this got me to blush as I closed the door to my room.
"How is it that you're the sweet Kaiba brother and your brother is so well ya know"
"Once you get to know Seto he can be a nice guy our childhood wasn't the best at times" Mokuba explained as we entered the dining room which was now deserted. "Our parents passed away when we were really young"
"I'm sure you still miss them I bet"
"I do but having Seto helps ease the pain" Mokuba added as the elevator doors opened and Mokuba and I got inside.
"I can sort of relate to that like you I have lost a loved one only it was my sister and my parents were my rock to get me through those dark times"
"Oh man Sam I'm so sorry to hear that" Mokuba turned to me. I merely smiled at him like a big sister would do to their younger sibling.
"It's part of life kid" Mokuba simply nodded and then he walked over to me and then hugged me around my legs. I felt my face turn red at this sudden moment. I simply chuckled and ruffled his hair as the elevator came to a stop and he pulled away just as the elevator doors opened to reveal the sky deck. Mokuba and I parted ways; he went to join his brother's side while I joined the others.
"Samara how are you feeling?" Tea asked as I approached.
"Better actually so I take it Joey is dueling our mysterious Marik huh?" I asked taking a spot between her, Mai, and Yugi.
"Yep and Joey's really eager" Mai answered. The arena lit up and the duel was about to start.
"I'm glad to see you're feeling better Samara you took quite a fall during that duel with the spirit of the Millennium Ring" Marik said from behind me.
I turned to him and smirked. But before I could say anything the others gasped and I turned to see Joey hurriedly grab his cards that got blown away from the wind. I face palmed at that while the others scolded Joey to hang onto his cards. Joey hurriedly put his cards back into his hand and he then spun around ready to play. He then played Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode. After a minor taunting Odion drew a card and then placed a magic card into his duel disk.
Crap he's about to play Temple of the Kings not a good start I growled in my mind. Everyone watched as the Temple of the Kings shook behind Odion and then it came to life behind him.
"What card is that?" Serenity asked.
"Temple of the Kings" I began to explain and everyone looked to me. "It's an interesting magic card and Joey better find a way to take it down because Marik can summon a beast within it and if he does this duel won't be in Joey's favor"
"Your kidding?!" Mai protested. I looked to her and shook my head.
"I wish I were but Joey made it to the finals with both hard work and skill so I wouldn't lose faith in him yet Mai"
"Well spoken" Yugi added and I felt my face turn red at his comment before I returned my attention back to the duel. Odion placed two cards face down and ended his turn.
"Are you okay Joey?" Serenity asked to her brother.
"You look pretty spooked dude" Tristan added. Joey blushed and he held his cards up to cover his face. Odion then taunted Joey about making his next move and I merely sighed. Joey didn't tend to do well when it came to insults.
"Say goodnight Marik I summon Tiny Guardian in attack mode!" Joey then played his creature. "And that's all I'm going to do for now Chrome Dome"
"Observe you fool I play two more cards face down on the field and that completes my turn"
"What on earth is Marik planning?" Mai asked.
"Most likely a good strategy Joey just needs to keep his cool and focus on his" I answered not taking my eyes off of the duel. Joey then summoned Hayabusa Knight in attack mode and I suddenly growled.
"What's with the growl?" Yugi asked me.
"Just watch" I simply replied to him as Joey played Giant Trunade. A mini tornado came to life on the field and it began to blow its way towards Odion. The tornado was just about to do its job but it simply stopped and Joey began to protest.
"Why did it stop?" Mai asked. I wish I could answer but getting involved with the plot line was too damn risky right now. Odion then revealed Judgment of Anubis.
"Ra damn it that is not a good trap card in this situation" I said while the trap came to life taking the form of a purple fog and a wolf like head appeared on the field. Odion then commanded it to attack Joey's monsters. I turned away as the trap card did its job destroying Joey's monsters and taking his life points to 1900. I looked again to see Joey boasting about how he was going to win and while Serenity cheered him on, both Tea and I sweat dropped at how little she knew about how duel monsters worked. I used that chance to look over to Kaiba and Mokuba.
I chuckled when I noticed both of them were sweat dropping like Tea and I wore. Kaiba noticed I was back and he sent me a nod which I returned just as Odion placed two more face downs on the field. Joey then summoned Alligator Sword in attack mode before he placed a face down and he ended his turn. Odion then simply passed which really pissed Joey off I could literally see the anime vein on his hair, and this actually got me to snort in amusement. Joey then passed his turn, while Odion drew a card and he also passed. This got Tea, Mai and I to all do an anime fall. When the three of us got back to our feet Joey lost his temper and summoned Rocket Warrior.
"Joey not a smart move you dolt!" I shouted at the hot tempered blonde. Joey didn't seem to hear me as he ordered Rocket Warrior to attack .The monster sealed itself within its armor and it launched itself towards Odion. Odion countered with Eye of Wdjat and I swore as the trap card's mark appeared on Joey's monster. Rocket Warrior went flying around the arena as though it were confused.
"Now attack his Alligator Sword!" Odion commanded and Rocket Warrior turned around and went flying towards Alligator Sword. Joey then activated Fairy's Box and Alligator Sword went into it. Odion eyes went wide before he commanded Rocket Warrior to attack. Joey's monster then launched itself inside one of the fairy boxes holes. The small monster then poked its head out looking around for Alligator Sword; I breathed a sigh of relief. Alligator Sword poked its head out from another hole.
"I missed?" Odion asked not believing his eyes while Joey mocked him. I focused my attention on Odion's three face downs and I another growl came out of my lips.
"Okay Sam you're really starting to freak me out when you growl like that" Mai said.
"Sorry but Joey's in trouble again just listen to Marik" I suggested and she looked to Odion. Marik's brother explained that he had a rare type of breed of monster that was both a trap and monster card.
Then Embodiment of Apophis was activated following by two more of its counter parts. The three monster trap hybrids then appeared to the field.
"Those things are nasty"
"I agree with you girlfriend" Mai added.
While Odion taunted Joey the blonde played a face down which I knew was Scape Goat and then placed Alligator Sword in defense mode. Odion then ordered his creatures to attack but Joey activated Scape Goat, however Odion played Magic Jammer.
"Not good that card will cancel out Joey's magic card" I said. Joey's magic card disappeared along with the three goat like creatures it held. One Embodiment took down Rocket Warrior, while Alligator Sword was done the same with another. Then the third attacked Joey's life points taking them down to 200. Joey grunted and he fell to knees while Odion laughed. I felt an anime vein of my own come to my head and I lost my temper.
"You no good son of a bitch!" I snapped and smoke literally came out my ears.
"Calm down Sam" Tea said to me placing a hand on my shoulder. I listened to her words and did as she suggested. However Odion's taunts continued to mock Joey and this time I lost it.
"JOEY WHEELER YOU BETTER QUIT MOPING LIKE YOU ARE NOW AND GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THE GAME YOU WORKED TO DAMN HARD TO LOSE TO HIM!"
I wasn't mad at Joey it was Odion I was furious with, well not really. Joey turned to me and he sweat dropped. The others were actually backed away from me since I was all fired up. I pointed a finger at Odion.
"You dueled three tough opponents and he's no exception so get the hell up and find a way to claim victory!"
"Thanks Sam" Joey said and I merely smirked before calming back down. "Remind me not to piss you off"
Seto's Kaiba POV
"Whoa Seto did you see Sam?"
"Sure did" I answered.
I knew Samara had fire within her and to finally see it was amusing. I just hope I wouldn't experience for myself one day, hell I actually felt my heart beat fast while The Girl On Fire ranted.
Samara's POV
As I calmed down I watched as Serenity encourage her brother. The exchange of conversation reminded me how Amber inspired me to do my best. To this day I missed her with all my heart and I actually felt tears coming to my eyes. I growled and wiped my eyes so no one would notice and it was a good thing to because Joey got back to his feet. I then saw Yugi transform into Yami. My brother then came over to me and asked.
"Are you alright Samara you looked a little emotional a second ago"
"I'm fine now the conversation between Serenity and Joey just reminded me of someone I once loved very much my sister, she was my rock when I was at my lowest"
"I see" Yami must have sensed I didn't want to talk about Amber at the moment and I was glad he didn't.
"Kick his ass Joey!" I then shouted to Joey who looked to me and gave a wink which I replied with a smirk. Joey then played two cards facedown before playing Swordsman of Landstar in defense mode and his turn ended. Odion then ordered his three snake warriors to attack and Joey activated his Foolish Burial, followed by Grave Robber.
"Oh this is going to be good" I said my smirk widening. "Just watch"
Grave Robber then held a card that was revealed to be Jinzo.
Odion broke into a sweat as Jinzo appeared onto the field next to Joey. Jinzo glasses then lit up and they destroyed Odion's monster trap card hybrids thus sending them to the graveyard.
"Awesome move pack mate!" I shouted to Joey who blushed at my compliment the others voiced in their support behind me. Joey then summoned Battle Warrior in attack mode and switched Swordsman of Landstar into attack mode as well. Jinzo then attacked Odion first before following behind with Battle Warrior and Swordsman of Landstar thus making his life point's drop to 400.
Joey ended his turn with more taunting at Odion. Odion didn't move for a few seconds because he and Marik were talking through their minds, then Odion played Swords of Revealing Light. I growled playing that card wasn't good for Joey. Joey then sacrificed his Battle Warrior to summon The Legendary Fishermen; Mako's rarest card appeared onto the field. The sight of the shark made my fangs want to elongate, shark meat was good. I mentally scolded myself for being a dolt to think about food right now while Joey placed his all three of his monsters in defense mode. Odion then drew a card and he froze his gold eyes widening in shock
So he drew the fake Winged Dragon of Ra I thought. I watched as Odion looked to Marik, both siblings were arguing about using the fake god card. Then Odion turned back to Joey and placed a facedown before he went back to hesitating.
"Yami" I whispered getting my brother to listen. I made a come here gesture with my head and Yami obeyed. "That card is a fake Winged Dragon of Ra and I might as well cut to the chase that human up there isn't Marik"
"Samara are you sure it's wise to tell me this information?" he asked back only loud enough for me to hear.
"I am only preparing you brother continue to pretend that Joey is dueling Marik I just wanted to warn you about what is to come, the true identity of our foe will come to pass soon"
Yami simply nodded and the two of us went back to watching the duel. Both of us watched as Odion played the fake Winged Dragon of Ra into the arc of Temple of the Kings. I had to admit seeing the fake card go into the box was pretty cool. Joey then used Monster Reborn to revive Alligator Sword and he used him and Swordsman of Landstar to sacrifice in order to summon Insect Queen; I winced at Weevil's ugly monster. I really hated some bugs especially those who reminded me of spiders! Yuck!
Don't get me wrong I wasn't afraid of spiders I just couldn't stand them!
I growled when I heard Kaiba made a sarcastic comment about Joey and I shot him a knock it off look. Kaiba shot me a flirtatious look back and I felt my face turn red. Yami shot a death glare back to Kaiba and Kaiba simply smirked. Then I swore when Odion played Cup of Sealed Soul, then he activated his face down card Seal of Serket.
"Mot********" I snarled. "Sorry guys but Marik's about to play a really dangerous creature"
Everyone gasped as the three magic cards of Odion's combined and I turned away as the Mystical Beast of Serkert formed. When I looked up to see the foul thing I swore in my mind. The damn red scorpion like creature was ugly and I mean UGLY!
Joey drew a card and frowned and I remembered it was a Polymerization card he drew; the blonde then ended his turn. Odion then commanded his Beast of Serkert to attack Jinzo. The scorpion walked forward and seized Jinzo into its sharp pincers before destroying it, and the creature's attack points went to 3700. Joey drew another card before passing and Odion sent the Beast of Serket to devour Insect Queen. Its attack points went to 4900 and Serenity began to tear up, she was about to walk away when Joey shouted out to her.
I watched as both siblings converse and I eyed Odion as this happened. I knew he was remembering when he was found as an infant by Ishizu and Marik's mother. I thought the flashbacks in this episode were both adorable and yet sad. It broke my heart when Marik had been taken away to undergo the tomb keeper's initiation.
The bond between Odion and Marik is similar to the one I shared with Amber I thought. At the thought of my sister I shook my head.
"Are you alright Samara?" Yami asked me again and I looked to him.
"I am fine" I reassured my brother and he simply nodded before focusing his attention back to the duel. I looked behind me to glance at Marik who was eying his older brother, I saw the glint of the real Millennium Rod and I silently growled. Out of all the Yami's in Yugioh, Yami Marik was the one I despised most and also feared. I was not looking forward to seeing him in the flesh. Joey drew another card and he had no choice but to pass again.
I saw Joey's eyes and I smirked he still had the desire to win this duel no matter what. I closed my eyes as Odion shouted for his Serket to devour the Legendary Fisherman and I knew the creature's life points were now close to 6000. Joey simply passed again and I knew this was where the turning point of the duel. I watched as Joey tell Odion that he wasn't Marik and I saw Kaiba's eyes widen. Yami looked to me and I simply nodded in the direction where Namu was, Yami then looked back to in a questioning look and I nodded.
At the same moment Odion drew out the fake Millennium Rod and yelled that he was in fact Marik, he then pocketed it away before commanding his Mystical Beast Serket to attack Joey's life points. Joey closed his eyes and waited for the duel to end as the red scorpion to almost sink it's pincers into him, but then it stopped.
"Shouldn't Joey be a scorpion snack by now?" Duke asked. I watched as Odion mentally converse with Marik and already I could see the fear of the older Ishtar using the fake Winged Dragon of Ra.
"What is happening Samara?" Yami asked quietly to me.
"Just continuing watching my friend" I simply answered now focusing my attention back to the duel.
"Because this duel will be ending shortly and Joey will need all of you to aid him"
I then focused my attention to Kaiba, who was looking uneasy. Either he was eager to see this duel end or he wanted to see the fake Winged Dragon of Ra.
Some serious s**t is about to go down I thought as Odion raised the fake Millennium Rod and announced he was going to use the Winged Dragon of Ra.
"Be very careful Joey!" Yami shouted.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra is dangerous so be prepared" I added as Odion turned to the Temple of the Kings and he held up the fake Millennium Rod, the box glowed just as the Mystical Beast of Serket was sacrificed. Odion paid half of his remaining life points before commanding Ra to appear. The box opened and a green beam of light shot out into the sky. The sky began to darken and I suddenly felt an angry presence just as the fake Winged Dragon of Ra appeared in a background full of fire.
Who dares to imposter me?!
I heard a male voice demand and my eyes widened because I think I was the only one who heard it. The male voice suddenly spoke to me and it was kind and gentle despite it being angry a second ago.
Hello young one
Who are you? I demanded at the voice.
I am the Winged Dragon of Ra, Samara reincarnation of Seraphina.
Is this some kind of joke?
I assure you little one I am real and something greatly insulting awoken me just now.
It is because a fake card representing the real you is being played.
I thought so; I know that my wielder has darkness within him.
I also happen to wield your card as well Milord.
Ra simply chuckled before responding.
I am yours to command Priestess you were blessed by not only Seiryuu, but also Slifer and myself to command us. Only call on us if you need our aid and we shall obey farewell for now little one.
Then the Winged Dragon of Ra went dormant.
My attention then went back to the duel and just seeing the fake Ra also pissed me off. The fake god card had the same attack power as the Mystical Beast of Serket had. Joey taunted Odion to attack and Odion simply complied by commanding the fake Ra to attack. The dragon's mouth opened but it didn't attack. I winced as I still felt Ra's rage and I looked to Marik to see his duel disk and deck glow gold.
Odion suddenly turned around and he stared into the fake Ra's appearance, the fake dragon roared before many rounds of lightning bolts began to hit the dueling arena. Odiom simply closed his eyes knowing this duel was over, a scream came out of my lips as lightning hit him and the fake Millennium Rod shattered. Slowly Odion's knees gave way and he began to fall forwards and then his body hit the arena floor. Joey approached him but was stopped by another lightning bolt.
Then a second bolt hit Joey and he yelped and he too fell to the arena floor and everyone began to spazz out. Tristan hurried to the arena to make sure Joey was alright but Roland as expected began to argue with him. I simply sweat dropped as the two bickered until Kaiba interrupted.
" Enough I don't know where that lightning came from but it had nothing to do with the Kaiba Corporation Duel Disk system whatever it may seem to be this lightning is a act of mother nature and nothing more"
Mai protested and Kaiba simply ignored her. Roland looked back to Joey and Odion asking if the duel should be a double forfeit.
"Not yet because the duelists are tied with 200 life points each we'll give them five minutes whichever duelist gets to their feet first will be declared the winner and continue on in the finals"
Everyone voiced their protests while I turned to Marik who was now holding his head. Odion then grunted and he weakly began to get up, I could see Odion was struggling and before Roland could declare him the winner he fell forward and became unconscious.
What is happening? Smaug suddenly asked.
Both Odion and Joey are out cold due to being struck by lightning. I answered him.
Then I hope your friend will recover I sensed a great anger not too while ago.
That was the Winged Dragon of Ra.
I see be careful Samara Smaug then went back to being silent while I watched the others continue to shout for Joey to get the hell up. I knew Joey was having a daydream with the others taking place in one of Domino High School's classrooms.
"JOEY WHEELER YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS UP RIGHT NOW RA DAMMIT!" I shouted for the hell of it and my yell made everyone jump. Kaiba had heard me and he simply smirked and I shot him a shut up look. Joey suddenly grunted and without him knowing it he got to his feet.
"What the hell happened?" Joey asked looking to us.
"You passed out you dolt and scared the hell out of us!" Mai snapped. Joey simply apologized before looking to Odion, and he remembered the duel and how it happened.
"And the winner of this duel is Joey Wheeler!" Roland officiated. Now with the duel over the arena lowered and I was the first to leap into the air and I landed on the metal flooring with a thud. I bent down and held Odion while Joey and Yami joined next to me.
"Thank you Priestess" Odion said to me and I nodded. Odion then turned to Joey. "Forgive me Joey I am sorry it was an honor for me to duel with you"
"Well same to you and thanks to that lightning bolt I won't be forgetting this duel anytime soon now that's done you gotta come clean if you're not Marik who are you pal?"Joey asked.
"I am only a servant of the real Master Marik" Odion then pointed at Marik who was still growling. Both Joey and Yami turned to Marik and asked.
"That's Marik?"
"That's him Yami" I told my brother and he nodded before standing up.
"Admit your true identity Marik!"
Marik heard his words and he turned to us.
"Yes it's true I am indeed the real Marik you fools"
"So Namu lied to us all along?" Tea asked.
"He was merely trying to gain our trust so he could get closer to us especially Yugi" I hissed and I gave Odion to Joey. I then stood up and leapt off of the arena and I landed a few feet away from Marik. Yami followed and he now stood next to me.
"We meet Girl On Fire wielder of the Beast God Cards and the same to you Pharaoh, soon both of your set of God cards will be mine along with the Millennium Puzzle"
Both Yami and I growled while Marik suddenly held his hand to his head once more.
Here comes Melvin I thought as Marik screamed in pain and he glowed for a second. I swore when the familiar spiky hair of Yami Marik formed and there he stood right in front of us.
"Marik what is going on?!" Yami demanded but Yami Marik simply chuckled and he bent his head down. The Millennium eye symbol glowed on his head.
I yelped and high tailed to hide behind Yami.
" I am finally free again in which I can do things my way, I was restrained for years by that fool Odion"
"Who are you?!" Yami demanded.
"I am the true Marik and I am not as kind as the one you've come to know and soon I shall finish the job he couldn't complete and strip you of your powers for I deserve to be Pharaoh"
"Why don't you shut that damn mouth of yours Melvin!" I snapped at Yami Marik. Yami Marik simply chuckled.
"Your are certainly Seraphina's reincarnation Samara, Girl on Fire, by the time I through with you and your brother his power will mine and all of you shall be trapped in a realm of eternal darkness"
Yami Marik then continued to talk about obtaining all of the god cards and Kaiba replied back about having enough of the Egyptian fairy tale nonsense and Obelisk was his and his alone so he could regain his title as the number one duelist blah, blah, blah, blah.
A Few Minutes Later.
There was to be another short break before the next duel was to occur. And I decided to not watch Mai's duel against Yami Marik. At the moment I was sitting on the couch in my room holding Seiryuu and Suzaku in my hand.
"I had a feeling I would find you in here" Yami Marik's voice suddenly said and I nearly jumped out my skin as I got up and held my two Beast god cards close to me. The dark half of Marik was already out of Marik's usual clothes and was already dressed in the signature black tank top, tan pants, and a purple cape and he stood behind the sofa.
"How the f**k did you get in my room?!" I demanded at him.
"I know many things to do with darkness Samara now hand over the Beast God cards to me" he outstretched his towards them, and he grunted as he got zapped by the bond I shared with the two cards along with the rest of the monsters in my deck.
"Surely you know that only a female can wield Suzaku and Seiryuu" I hissed. Yami Marik simply chuckled before he held up his Millennium Rod and it glowed and I yelped as I felt my whole body being thrown backwards. I felt my back slam against a nearby wall and I hissed at the brief pain I felt. Yami Marik then came to me and he held the base of the Millennium Rod underneath my chin so I could look at him.
"Damn you" I growled. I still clutched Suzaku and Seiryuu in my right hand.
"You wield such fire Samara I can sense your hatred for me"
"Only for you not for Marik himself it was you who made him suffer the hands of darkness"
"And like you haven't?" he taunted. He then used the end of the Millennium Rod to peel my tank top a little so an X shaped scar showed hovering off the area between my arm and the area over my left breast. "This scar was given to you by someone you harmed fueled by darkness"
"F**k you!" I then threw my fist forward and it collided with Marik lip. He grunted and he released his hold of me with the Millennium Rod. He growled as his wiped off the blood away from his mouth, before he used his Millennium Rod on me once more. I felt my body beginning to tire and I cursed as I was swallowed by darkness.
Kaiba's POV
I couldn't explain it but I hurried to Samara's room. Something didn't feel right I hurriedly opened the door just in time to see Marik holding an out cold Samara. He was about to touch her two god cards when I snapped.
"You stay the hell away from her!" I hissed and Marik growled. He gently put Samara on the floor while I stormed into the room.
"I should disqualify you right now for trying to take her two god cards Marik, if you haven't realized they don't like males touching them" I snapped as I bent down to Samara and I took her into my arms. "I suggest you leave right now or else"
"Fine then but my warning from before still stands you fool" Marik taunted before he walked to the door to Samara's room and left. As the doors closed behind him I looked down to the unconscious Girl on Fire. She still clung to Suzaku and Seiryuu and I merely chuckled. I then scooped her into my arms and carried her towards her bed. I would make Mokuba stay in here with her until she woke up, I didn't want anyone else to do any funny business with her.
I gently placed her onto her back and I checked her pulse. I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt one and I watched as her chest rose as she breathed. She would most likely wake up in an hour or so. I then looked to her two god cards, without thinking I held my hand out towards them. To my surprise I didn't get the same shock I experienced earlier and as I held the two cards I felt a fierce presence. I merely shook my head and placed Suzaku and Seiryuu back into Samara's deck, I was a man of my word and I didn't go so low as to steal. In the past I may have done that but I wasn't that man today.
I then looked back to the sleeping Samara. I walked over to her and noticed her tank top was lowered to where it shouldn't have been. I saw a scar in the shape of an X right above her left breast. I felt my face flush and I gently tugged her leather jacket so it covered her scar; she could straighten the shirt up later. Then without thinking I caressed her face.
Why do you make me feel like this Samara? I thought.
To be honest when I first met her I felt like I knew her from before which was weird since we never met. I gently pulled my hand away and looked at it. Though I wouldn't admit it I was attracted to her and that scared me. Since after the loss of my parents and the hell Gozaburo put me through made me shut off the kind side I once had when I was a kid. The side that I only showed to Mokuba and to no one else. Then Samara entered the picture and something about her intrigued me not only was she incredibly smart, and talented at dueling. She was also beautiful in my eyes not only physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.
There was nothing more I wanted to do right then but to kiss her, but I knew that wouldn't be right. I was a gentleman despite being called an asshole by others and I wouldn't dare do that to Samara without her consent.
"Mokuba you there kid?" I asked my brother pressing the communication button on my jacket.
"I'm here Seto what do you need?"
"Samara was ambushed my Marik and she's unconscious would you mind keeping an eye on her until she wakes up?"
"Is she okay?" Mokuba asked and I chuckled at the concern in his voice. The fact Samara was kind to my little brother was another reason why I liked her and Mokuba liked her .
"She's fine little brother" I reassured him.
"Alright I'll keep an eye on her on my way"
"Thanks kid you're the best" I then released the hold on my jacket. I stayed with Samara until Mokuba came into her room and I had to leave to monitor the next duel which was Mai against Marik. Now that Marik's real identity was revealed I wanted to see the real Winged Dragon of Ra. And then once I defeated him and Yugi I would become the world's number one duelist once more, I suddenly swore when I remembered I would need to beat Samara in a duel to regain that title too.
"Samara Hudson you shall be the only duelist I will face in the next round before Yugi" I said to myself.
As I headed towards the Stratos Dueling arena I smirked when the time came for me to duel Samara it was one duel I would look forward to the most.
Gaw!
