As Danielle was wandering around the area, she noticed something not too far away. 'Why not? Might as well check it out.' She went out to see what this was in the distance. When she finally reached it, she realized it was a stream with white flowers growing near the stream's edge.
She sat down on the nice green grass. (yes, they are in the desert. Ever hear of an oasis??)'It's nice here.'
Taking a deep breath, Danielle finally really started to relax. Of course this means she falls asleep.
~*~Dream time! Cuz you know they are just sooo much fun!~*~
Dyani was walking with her mother around the city. They were looking for just anything that popped out at them.
"Dyani, I'm going to look over here. If you'd like, why don't you look in there?"
"Hai, Mother." She walked over to this small "store" and looked at various items. There were lots of beautiful jewelry and silk scarves from the East, but nothing really grabbed her attention.
Suddenly she felt someone's eyes watching her. She turned to see a tall, handsome man with sharp blue eyes and brown hair that came to a point in the back. He looked at her with such intensity that she had to look away.
Dyani moved on to the next "store". Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man follow her. 'He is kind of nice looking. But I don't like the whole stalker thing.'
Dyani picked up a necklace that was a bit pretty. Someone bumped into her, causing her to drop the jewelry to the ground. Suddenly, the man walked over to her, bent down and pick up the necklace for her. He placed it gently into her hand. "I think you dropped this, Miss."
"Thank you." Dyani smiled, took the necklace, and put it back on the table. As she was about to turn away, he grabbed her arm softly.
"Umm, I was wondering if I could have your name?"
She looked at him directly. "I usually don't give my name to strangers."
"My apologies. My name is Seto Kaiba."
"Dyani Yagyu."
He smiled. "Just as I thought. A beautiful name for an angel." (Did I mention that in this fanfic, Kaiba will be doing a lot of OOC stuff??)
Dyani blushed. 'This guy can't be all bad.'
"Do you mind if I walk with you, Miss Dyani?"
"Not at all. I'm about to meet up with my mother though."
"That's fine. Shall we?"
They walked towards where Dyani had left her mother shopping. As they were walking, Kaiba told Dyani about how he was the head of a powerful organization, though he did not disclose the name. He talked about how they would revolutionize Egypt and bring it farther then ever before.
They reached Dyani's mother and when she looked up, she went from a fearful expression, to one of shock, then composed herself. 'Does mother know this guy?'
"Hello. I assume you are Mrs. Yagyu?"
Her mother had on a serious face, one she rarely wore. "You assume correctly. I apologize but we must be leaving now. Come Dyani." With that, she took her daughter's hand and walked off.
Dyani turned her head and shouted over her shoulder, "Goodbye!" She turned back to her mother. "What was that about mother?"
"I'll tell you inside the house, Dyani."
They soon reached the house. (Got to make this chapter quick, okay??) They sat down in their "living room" area. Her mother breathed in deeply then started to explain. "That man was Seto Kaiba, correct?"
Wide eyed, Dyani nodded. Her mother frowned. "Dyani, I am very serious. You must never go with him anywhere. Do not see him nor talk to him at all costs!"
"But why mother? He seemed like a nice man."
"Appearances can be deceiving. Listen, my daughter, I have to tell you something very important. I should really wait for your father, but you must know now."
"Mother, what is it?"
She took a deep breathe. "It's about you, my dear. About where you come from and what is buried deep inside you, something that Kaiba can see and desires." Seeing her daughter's troubled and perplexed looks, she went on. "Dyani, you come from a long line of powerful people. I do not mean politically. You have a great power inside you. One that could one day even surpass the Gods themselves. I prayed to Ra that no one would find this out. It has occurred in the women of our family after so many years. Dyani, listen to me. You are not just a regular person. You are a very very powerful sorceress. You are still in the early stages. I will help you all I can to develop your powers."
Dyani stared at her mother wide eyed. "What does this have to do with Seto Kaiba?"
Her mother got this fire of anger in her eyes. "He is a very dangerous and evil man! He is also very powerful. He seeks to overthrow the current Pharaoh and rule the world! He is assembling all the most powerful to stand by his side. He has named his group 'The Clan of Anubis'. It is said his powers may match those of Anubis. Listen to me. He seeks to have someone who is of equal power to sit by his side. I will not have my daughter, who has the purest of hearts, be tainted by the likes of him. Refuse him, Dyani! Refuse him over and over again. Trust in me, my daughter. Believe what I say."
After a few moments to let it all sink in, Dyani spoke. "I...I believe you mother. I shall refuse him."
"Thank the Gods. I was blessed with a smart daughter."
They hugged and went about their day, one clear of mind, the other cluttered with thoughts.
