Can't Buy Me Love
By: Blue Eyes Demon
Disclaimer: No I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh right now (maybe later). What I do own here is my poem which I use later, so please don't copy it (and yes it's mine); I don't want to get angry.
Note: sorry for not putting this up sooner (I think I'm beginning to slack). I just haven't been feeling well, and trying to come up with new idea can be tiring. I'm also trying to work on another poem for the next chapter inspired by this story, the one in this chapter I made a few weeks ago and I thought it would look good here. So enjoy the story!!!!
Chapter VII: Of Detention and Confessions
Nikko woke up and prepared herself for another day, but she smiled as she remembered last night, and how Kaiba apologized. She thought, 'He's not used to apologizing is he?' She opened up her notebook and sat at her desk in deep thought, as she begins writing down something.
When she was finished she looked down at what she had wrote, "Wow! I can't believe I wrote this poem, but it just came to me so suddenly. Maybe it's from my dreams?"
She looked at her clock and realized that she had to be going, she put the notebook inside her bag, and ran down the stairs leaving the house.
As she walked to school, she sees a limo stop by her and the window pulls down showing Kaiba's face smiling at her. Nikko looked at him strangely wondering what he was smiling about.
Kaiba still smiling replied, "Well, we meet again. Would you like a ride?"
Nikko just nodded her head, forgetting what she was thinking a minute ago. She got into the car to see Mokuba smile at her and give her a hug.
Mokuba smiled and said, "I'm so glad to see you again, after I heard that you had a fight with my nii-sama, I thought I would never see you again. My nii-sama has a bad way with expressing his feelings."
Kaiba gave Mokuba a stern look, "I think we had enough apologizing for one week, Mokuba." Mokuba gave him a look in defiance back, as Kaiba ruffled his hair.
Nikko just looked at them and giggled, "You two are so cute together. I envy your closeness." She looked out of the window and looked as the landscape passed by her.
The limo soon stopped at Mokuba's school, and as Mokuba was leaving he went to give Nikko a hug. As he walked out of the limo he called back saying, "I hope my brother tells you what he wants to tell you soon, Nikko. Ja ne, nii- sama!"
Kaiba managed to sputter the words, "Nani?? Mokuba??" Just as Mokuba closed the door and the limo drove off.
Nikko looked at Kaiba weirdly, "What did Mokuba mean by that?"
Kaiba just stared out of the window refusing to look at her, "I really don't know what he meant. I wonder what Mokuba was thinking about."
Nikko just nodded her head slowing, not really understanding what he was saying. She soon forgot about it as the limo stopped by the school and they both got out, going their separate ways. They went into the school not saying a word until they meet again at lunch.
Just before lunch Nikko stopped to say hi to Yugi and the others, "Hello everyone!" Nikko said happily.
Jonouchi looked at her strangely, "Oh, well look who has come to grace us with her presence! Did you get tired of Kaiba already?"
Nikko looked hurt at the remark, "I'm sorry for acting the way I did, I just thought that you still might want to be friends. But-" Nikko turned away with tears in her eyes.
Yugi went to talk to her, "It's ok Nikko. Jonouchi didn't mean it. We were the one who were wrong. Kaiba was right in a way, if we are truly your friends we would trust you, and be their for you no matter what."
Nikko brushed the tears from her eyes, "Thank you, I thought I'd lost all your friendship."
Jounouchi felt bad for what he said, "I'm sorry, Nikko. I didn't mean that, I guess I over react sometimes."
Anzu who happy to see everything work out fine said, "Nikko, why don't you join us for lunch right now?"
Nikko smiled, "Thank you, but I'm going to have lunch with Kaiba. I still need to finish up some business with him. How about tomorrow?"
Anzu smiled, "That would be great!"
They all left Nikko and headed towards the cafeteria, while Nikko went to her locker to put back her books. She closed the locker when she was finished and headed to the cafeteria.
Nikko made her way though the packed cafeteria to find Kaiba already sitting at the table, she went to sit beside him. Kaiba looked at her with a surprised look wondering why she was there.
Kaiba spoke up, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Yugi and his followers? I thought we were finished with everything that had to be done with the presentation, until Friday?"
Nikko opened her book bag and took out a notebook, "I know, but I wasn't quite satisfied with what we had accomplished. I decided to fix our presentation and to revise it." She handed him the notebook.
Nikko looked at him waiting while he flipped though the pages reading it, "How do you like it?"
Kaiba put the folder down and smiled, which Nikko wasn't expecting, "I like it. It's even better then the first one we thought of. When did you work on it?"
Nikko smiled back, "I spent most of last night typing it, and I thought that I would be late for school with my lack of sleep."
He looked though it again and stopped at the last page to see something written down on it, it to him looked like a poem. He looked at it and begins to read it out loud:
'I spread my arms into the sky, as the winds echo calls to me. I smell the changing seasons in the air, while I touch the clouds with my innocence, and as I look up towards the heavens... I am waiting.'
He finished the poem and look at her, "Who made this?"
Nikko blushed, "I did, it just came to me today. I woke up and I just had to write it down. I didn't mean for you to read it, I just had this notebook handy at the time." She took the notebook away from him.
Kaiba looked at her and smiled, "I'm glad I read it, it's a rather beautiful poem. Trust me, this is coming from someone who isn't a great fan of poetry."
Nikko looked away and blushed, "I'm so glad you think so, I wasn't sure if it was any good."
Kaiba replied back, "Well I think it's good, if that matters. I'm glad you showed me it and I think that with your flare for writing we'll go far tomorrow. I just wish I didn't have detention today, I still have a lot of work to finish up before the presentation." He took a moment's breath, with the thought of all what he had to do.
Nikko frowned, "I'm sorry about that, if you didn't bother with me you wouldn't now have detention."
He looked at her and tried to answer back, "It's not your fault, and I really don't care." He thought for a moment, "I want to tell you-"
He got cut off by Nikko's outburst as she stood up, "I almost forgot! I have to do something's for the newspaper, because I won't be at the meeting today due to our detention. Auggh!"
Kaiba looked at her perplexed and replied, "Could you wait a minute, I want to tell you something."
She grabbed her bag and turned to Kaiba before she left, "I'm so sorry, but I really have to go lunch is almost over. Tell me during detention we'll have plenty of time, ja."
Kaiba watched her leave and stared down at the table in disappointment. He spotted a notebook lying on the table, "She must have forgotten this." He replied softly as he opened the notebook and tuned to the last page where the poem was.
He read the poem to himself and as he got to the last line he whispered softly, "I am waiting." He put the notebook in his bag and left the cafeteria silently.
Class started as soon everyone had settled down from lunch, and they were back to their usual work. Nikko was pulling her book from her bag when she noticed that the notebook was missing.
She gasped and rummaged trough her bag again. Yugi noticed her and whispered asking, "Are you ok?"
Nikko just smiled not wanting to worry him and replied back, "Yes, I just thought I forgot something." She decided to get back to work before the teacher hears them talking.
Nikko went back to her work and thought, 'I wonder where I put it?' She then remembered leaving it on the table at lunch where she left Kaiba, 'I hope he has it. I can't believe I was left it. Oh well I'll get it back from him in detention. Maybe that's what he wanted to tell me, not to forget my notebook. Ah! Baka me!'
Kaiba who wasn't doing his work just sat there and gazed at her thinking, 'She must of remembered about her notebook, I'll give it back to her later. What was I going to say to her before she left? Why can't I get that girl out of my mind? I can't even stop looking at her!' He tried to fix his gaze back at the work that was before him; just to find a minute later his head move back to where it was before. He quickly snapped his head back, 'YAMERO!!!! I can't think about her, I can't like her. What? I said like? I don't! I do? Auggh, I don't know!!' He buried his face into his hands in frustration of it all.
Yugi who looked at Kaiba for a moment and seeing him burry his head into his hand wondered, 'I wonder what's going through his head?'
Nikko was too busy in her own thoughts to realize what Kaiba was doing, 'I wonder if he really did like my poem? Why do I care? It's just that I feel so free around him, yeah he can be difficult but that's what I like..' She realized what she was thinking, 'Like?? No, it can't be true!!!! Why do I feel so differently about him? Iie! Iie! I don't feel that way! I can't and I won't! It's as simple as that! I cannot care for him, after tomorrow it will all be over with and I can forget all about him!' She sighed as she got back to her work, trying to forget about it.
School ended soon, everyone left to go back home except Nikko, and Kaiba. Sumoji-sensei sat there for a few minutes but got up and said, "I have to go to a short meeting, you can do your work, but if I find anyone of you gone when I come back they'll be in trouble!"
Nikko and Kaiba both nodded understanding what he said. He left and closed the door behind him, leaving the two alone.
Kaiba got up from his desk and walked over to Nikko and threw down the notebook on her desk, "Here I think you forgot this at lunch."
Nikko looked up and smiled back, "Arigatou Kaiba!" She got up from the desk and faced him as she handed back the notebook.
Kaiba looked at her confused, "Nani? Why are you giving this back?"
Nikko brushed her bangs from her face and said, "You should have it for tomorrow, and I'll probably go and forget it. Just as long as you give it back, I still want my poem."
Kaiba looked at her and nodded thinking, 'She is so wonderful. What am I saying? Why does she make me feel this way, it's so unfair. I-I-I' He broke his train of thought as Nikko turned around trying to sit back down, and he soon found his arm shoot out grabbing her hand.
He looked deeply into her green eyes that looked though her glasses, as he brought her close to him and whispered in her ear one word, "Ashiteru."
Nikko jumped in shock as Kaiba spoke and shivers went down her spine as she tried to repeat what he said, "Ashi-shi-te."
Kaiba put his finger on her mouth to stop her from stuttering and said quietly, "Shhh..." He moved is hand from her mouth towards her chin lifting it up and touching her lips with his own.
They kissed for a minute when finally it reached into Nikko's head what was going on, and slowly pushed Kaiba away from her crying out, "Yamete!!"
Kaiba looked at her in shock to hear those words, "What's wrong?"
Nikko just started crying, "Yamete Onegai. I don't want it to turn out like this, so please don't do this to me. Just erase it from your mind, please"
Kaiba looked in wonder for a moment and after the shock wore off pleaded, "I-I just told you that I love you, now you tell me to forget it?"
Nikko sat down in her desk tears still streaming from her eyes as she took off her glasses thinking, 'I'm sorry I have to do this to you, but it's too good to be true so it can never be.'
She cried even more as she spoke, "Please don't make it any harder, it will never work."
Kaiba hit the desk hard with his fist in anger, "What do you mean, 'never'? You don't make sense. Why?"
Nikko just turned her head refusing too look at him, "I should of known it would go too far. Let us just finish the presentation and we will never have to see each other again." She cries as she says the last word.
Kaiba just tuned away, "Fine, I'd actually prefer it if you don't come at all, I never said you had too. With your notes I'll do fine on my own." He went back to his own desk and sat down, as a tear escaped his eye.
Sumoji-sensei comes back and finds them very quite but he also senses a tense feeling in the air and decides to let them off early. They both leaving going in opposite direction as Kaiba gets in to his limo driving off, watching as he passes Nikko getting into her own car driving off.
Nikko gets back home and goes into her room, she takes off her bag as she lies on the bed. The recent events flash though her head as she cries silently to herself.
She whispers to herself, "Why Kaiba? Why?" she gets up from her bed and sits in a chair by her desk. She grabs a piece of paper and says quietly, "Why do I have to be like this?"
