Disclaimer: I am just telling a story and by the way I do own some of the things
but I previously announced them. So if I could, I will like to continue on this
lovely story.

Chocolate Covered Rice Balls Chapter Four: Will Lunch Ever Arrive?

Yumi sat in the back of that class room, just waiting for something to be said.
Even if it was just to put sound in the background, something had to be done.
Sorrowful eyes filled with tears as she sat there thinking about her home life.

Seto Kaiba, most likely the smartest person, or the most technologically
advanced in the room, looked at her with a small bit of curiousity. "Yumi, is
something wrong?" he asked to the shock of the rest of the class.

"He actually willingly spoke!" said a voice in the front. "And it was asking
about someone else other than himself!" Everyone turned to see Yumi who didn't
react to what she was confronted with.

Yumi Ishada thought long and hard, trying not to be like the rest of the class,
but just to blend in the shadows. I don't like pierceing eyes like that. she
thought, looking away and having to hide her emotions.

Don't let it bother you, thought the voice in the back of her mind. The
just care about you.

No they don't! They like messing with people like me! I just need to go away
now and protect Yoshio!! I just need lunch to arrive!

Lunch? Why lunch?

That's when I will try to run for it. I need to get to him! Yumi thought to
herself. She had to say something aloud, but what? I know.

Yumi stood and said, "Excuse me, Teacher, but I am fine. I just had a sudden
burst." She kindly sat back down and sighed. I'll never be free of this. The
pain that she held had become quite overbearing, but it was enough.

"All right," announced the teacher. "Today will begin with English. Open your
books to page 30 and we shall begin." He opened his own to his marked page, and
the class followed his orders.

Yumi looked at the words not in her native tounge. They were so big. Not that
she had never read English, but she never have read a story in English.

Seto looked at her. "Sorry I embarrassed you, Yumi, but I am worried." He said,
wondering exactly why he was like this. "You did make Mokuba so happy yesterday
when you gave him that rice ball. You make them well. I ate my own when I was
working on my computers and it reminds me that you are a gentle person."

Yumi sighed aloud, "I don't need your sympathy. I have to leave here to save my
brother from the man that adopted us. He might hurt him. I am planning to run
away at lunch."

"You just said all of that aloud?" Seto asked. "That's a bad move." He told her
with full honesty trying to think about why would she be in so much trouble and
what of her brother. This reminded him of something that he knew. Something that
bothered him greatly still even though it happened so many years ago. "But can I
help you? I don't like being here either and Mokuba might be in trouble as
well."

"Someone has been stalking me since I left Japan."

"And someone has been trying to kill us since I can remember."

Both of them came up with one thing. Who ever this was, whatever was going on,
it involved both Yumi and Seto, plus their brothers and their businesses. At
lunch, they would go. But it was only nine am! It would take forever for lunch
to arrive!

"Class, this is a story that you need to read by Monday when we will have a test
over content." The teacher announced. "Seto, you may help Yumi if she needs
help. You have until the end of the class period." He sat back down at his desk,
and Yumi's fear of the English language had come back to haunt her.

"I need to go and save him." She whispered. "I need to go home and get my
belongings. I don't care if I have to live in the shop. I can't be done in like
this."

"I'll help you, Yumi. They must be after the same thing, but what to do we have
in common? We have little brothers. We have our own businesses, but that can't
be enough now could it?"

"No, there is something more than what meets the eye on this adventure. I just
don't want to have to run anymore." Yumi muttered. She then looked into Seto's
cold, ice blue eyes that although they were dark in color, they had a shine to
them that pierced even the young girl's heart.

"You have silver eyes." Seto said, looking down at his book. "I have never seen
those before." He laughed. "I have read this story. It's called 'Whispers in the
Wind.' It's about a girl who has a troubled past and so she runs away, but when
she does, she finds that her true purpose in life hasn't been realized yet and
so."

Yumi by that time was crying. Softly, gently, not even making a sound. it was
painful to see someone like her to be in such a position. I am so lost. I'll
never. she didn't want to think, that always made the matter worse! She
couldn't act like this because now all of those people could be staring her
down.

Seto rose his hand and placed it on her shoulders. "I know what it's like to be
there, Yumi. I know now that I will help you. If only lunch would arrive."

-end of chapter

sorry it's so short, but I have limited time at school these days, so I will see
you later! Ja Ne!

Also sorry there is no Japanese in this chapter. I am doing that because I have
people looking over my shoulder and (this will not be the place where I type my
lemony scene if I put it on here later or not.) well, I'm off to conquer
something, whether it be my room or the world!
