Inside Out
A/N: While reading over the last few chapters I have noticed something. A) Meu is very emotional, and B) I give myself waaaaay too much credit(for instance, I make myself sound much prettier than I even THINK I am...though the modeling agency-thing called me back too like KT, Britt, and Lindsey) Anyway, I'm going to be focusing more and more on the others in these up-coming chapters...Mainly, Baku and Ammit for a few of them, then I think I'm gonna be doing something with Kitsune, Reene, and Caitlyn.
Other Note: Sorry for the spelling mistakes; I hurt my finger last Sunday. I don't know how exactally because at one point basically my whole life was spent at a hospital-like-thing and I didn't want to go to one. That and it's my left hand so it could be broken for all I care and it wouldn't distrupt too much of my life.
Yet Another Note: I'm sad... ;-; I got sick and now I'm going to the hospital anyway tomorrow. (Goin' tah see Dr. Ludmil) Even worse, it's during school so I'm gonna miss my stupid Honours Science class. I'm going thru this weird thing where I'll be in control of my body one second, then I'll have this weird feeling, and my lungs and back will start hurting because I start having these weird spasms and it'll look like I'm shivering really badly, which I probably am. My counsilers got worried today about it and sent me back home(not that I'm complaining). Anybody care to enlighten me?
Fortune Teller Yuki: I predict that BloodEngel does not own Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto or any songs...onegai, don't sue us.
Inside Out
Chapter 13: Fortune Teller Yuki
"...I'm here..."
They looked back to see the speaker, an oddly familliar voice from behind to see...Somebody they didn't know.
She wasn't that odd looking...or rather, wouldn't be if this were the 80s.
She had darkly outlined chestnut eyes and matching hair, wound loosely into braids and held out of her face with the help of a maroon bandanna. She was adorned with two large, golden hoop-earrings and a brown peasant skirt, topped with a large maroon belt. She wore an odd looking white turtle neck made out of what seemed to be cotton that had some odd styled cut-off and a brown tank-top over it.
In other words, she looked like some kind of gypsy.
"Are you 'Fortune Teller Yuki'?" Brittany asked hesitantly.
"Affirmative." Yuki confirmed, nodding.
"So you can, like, tell the future?" Ammit asked doubtfully.
"No," Yuki answered calmly, "I tell signs."
By this, everyone was confused so Yuki offered an example. She went over to a little desk, got something out of a drawer and kneeled down in front of it, motioning to the group.
She opened the box that had whatever she got out of the drawer to reveal a set of cards, and began shuffling them. "Are those Tarot Cards?" Ryou inquired, trying to get a good look over Katie's shoulder(Katie's about as tall as Jounochi).
"A simplified version," Yuki answered, still shuffling. "Since, apparently, some of you don't understand how to read signs." (Ammit's left eye twitched) Yuki gave a pleasant smile and divided the cards into three groups before picking up the middle pile. She then proceeded to shuffle that pile a small amount, for good measure. She then layed the cards out in an odd, square formation.
"So what happens now?" Katie asked, actually interested.
"Now, we flip over the cards." Yuki stated, turning over a card. "Cards one and two represent the past. The first card we drew was..." (" 'We'?" Ammit commented, "She's the only one doing anything.") "The first card we drew was 'Betrayal'. Meaning, someone wronged a person that trusted them." She said, looking at Ammit.
"I know what 'Betrayal' means!" Ammit yelled, seemingly having (and loosing) a one-sided arguement.
Yuki cleared her throat. "The next card is 'The Change Card'. Sometime in the past there has been one or more drastic change in one of your lives...if not all of them." Yuki paused to gather her thoughts before flipping over another card. "Cards three and four describe the present." Yuki stared at the third card before moving it, revealing another card behind it. "They seem to have stuck together somehow." Yuki mumbled , mostly to herself.
She realized the group was staring at her and quickly regained her composture. "I will just read them both. The first card was 'The Challenge Card'. Something big is comming ahead. The card stuck to that was 'The Barrier Card'. It says that something is stopping you from comming closer to smething or someone, or even perhaps reaching your destination."
"But what if we're happy how we are?" Lindsey asked.
"It means a Barrier, keeping you from your destiny--whether you want to get there or not."
"Who or what caused the Barrier?" Kitsune surveyed.
"Well, maybe the next card will tell us. Card Four(or Five, depending on how you look at it) is 'The Hidden Enemy Card'. Ah, that's what's causing your Barrier. Unless, of couse the Barrier is linked to the Betrayal card, and emotional stress is creating the Barrier. Or it could be both--the cards don't tell exactally."
"Then what's the point?" Ammit questioned, leaning against the wall.
"The Hidden Enemy is probably someone you've faced before and won, hence the reason they are hiding. That or they cannot get out of where they are."
"Ok, so what's the next card?" Kitsune pressed.
"Well, cards Five, Six, Seven, and Eight tell the Future."
"Finally." Ammit grumbled, while Bakura got bored of watching and also decided to lean against the walls of the booth and pick at the dirt under his nails.
"The Fifth Card is 'The Journey Card'; I'll assume I don't have to explain?" Yuki asked, leaning over so she could see Ammit clearly.
"You shouldn't assume things." Ammit responded, very close to flipping Yuki the bird, "You make an a--"
"The Sixth Card is 'The Forgivness Card'. This card is trying to point out that before you can end your journey, someone needs to give forgivness that is long over-do. This card probably ties into 'The Betrayal Card' but it's not for certain. The next card is 'The Growth Card'. This card indicates that a new knowledge or understanding. This will probably occur during the journey." Yuki flipped over the Eighth Card and smiled. "This is 'The Home Card'. It represents something or someone being back in its' proper place, or perhaps a feeling of saftey, or securiy.
"Now we see the conclusion, or ending in the Ninth Card." Yuki flipped the card over to reveal...
"The Ending Card!" Kitsune asked flatly, rather appalled at such a lame conclusion.
"Normally, yes." Yuki answered. "But this card is upside-down, and therefore means the opposite."
"So we're in, like, the 'Never Ending Story'?" Arianna finished.
"No," Yuki shook her head. "Your story will end...just not yet."
-Outside the Booth-
Ammit rolled her eyes, "What a waste of time. She really didn't even tell us anything."
"Hey guys," Lindsey started, looking around. "What's with all these mirrors?"
Arianna inspected the new scenery. "I don't know...They weren't here earlier..."
"It looks like a Truth Mirror." Ammit commented, and, seeing the looks she was getting that were practically begging for an explaination she elaborated on her origional thought. "A mirror that sees through spells. It shows hidden things."
They decided to dismiss it...that is, until the Almightly and Powerful Pharaoh tripped and fell in the dirt just as they came to the Assistant Principal shooing the band off of school grounds. Yami decided to look in one of the mirrors to see how dirty he had gotten when he came face to face...With himself. As Pharaoh. Back in Egypt. "Oh S-"
"SETO KAIBA!" Yelled some-random-chick.
"HOLY CRAP!" Yelled some-random-chick-number-two.
"THERE ARE CARTOON CHARACTERS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!" Yelled Mr. Assistant Principal. (He' is just not having a good day.)
Seto was affraid...AFFRAID OF BEING MOBBED BY FANGIRLS!
What did the group do, now that the entire population of Chaise Jr. High had recognized them?
They ran. Oh, did they run. They ran anywhere, as long as they were out of the range of the Truth Mirrors, they would be safe. "Who put these things up anyway!" Yelled Bakura.
"I've got a pretty good idea..." Meu said, stopping her run and pointing to two boys setting up mirrors near the exit.
Tim and Dave.
BloodEngel: Dun dun dun dun! Review and get a pie in the responce, and yes I shall respond! I recall that I may not have responded to a few near the begining, but that was just because I was being lazy and I took forever so I didn't want people to be all, "WTF! YOU RESPOND NOW!"
Kaede: What's with all the cliff-hangers?
BloodEngel: (shrugs) I just stop where it seems right...or until I get tired. Or both, in this case.
Inside Out: Omake Theater
Yuki: The next card is 'The Growth Card'. This card indicates that Brittany may grow a few centimeters. This will be troublesome because Yuugi and Brittany both believe that the girl should be shorter than a boy in a relationship. I suggest that you break up, Brittany starts dating guys of at least average height, and Yuugi start dating five-year olds.
Britt and Yuugi: O.o
Ammit: XP I'm going home...
Jounochi: (turns to Katie) Let's make-out.
Katie: ok.
Meu: I feel nausious...
Owari!
