Chapter three
A haunting past and new beginning
Katie walked down her drive way, first day of school over, over all it had been good, she had found some of the distraction she seeked, but not enough, the sight of her aunt on her death bed was still fresh in her mind, fresh, vivid. Her aunt, her mom... "I miss you both" she said softly to her self, she needed to distract her self, she remembered what she had done when her mother had died, she had worked, non stop, worked with her uncle, and worked to control them, she had to be strong, she had to... Out of the corner of her eye she saw Danny, the sweet innocent boy... He just lost his mother, just like I did so many years ago... Six years, so long, too long... Danny saw her, he saw the tears that stained her face, his face was stained with tears too, he hadn't stopped crying all day, the pain was unbearable, he just wanted it all to go away, Dragon had offered a little comfort, but not as much as he needed. He approached his cousin "Hi" he said weakly
"Hi" she answered, just as weakly
"How was school?" neither wanted to talk about his mom
"Good" she looked at Danny "We can't avoid it and pretend it never happened" she said, her eyes full of tears
"I know, how, how did you deal with your mom's death, I, I just can't stand it, it hurts" he was crying, he had never felt pain like this in his life
"I know it hurts, it will never stop hurting, not until you die, but it dose die down, it dose become more bearable, it dose become easier"
"What's the point? It just ends up with pain" he was looking at the ground
"Danny, I wish I could answer that question, but I don't know the meaning of life. And each person will answer that question differently"
"You didn't tell me how you dealt with your mom's death"
"I just kept going, day after day, week after week, and month after month"
"Year after year" said Danny "How did you stand it?"
"I don't really know, it was hard, but I tried to distract myself, but that didn't really help, Dragon helped, Uncle Tom helped, Aunt rose helped, but other than that, I just kept forcing myself to go on"
"I don't think I can"
"You can, maybe not right now, but you will be able to"
"Maybe..." he looked down at his feet tears streaming down his cheeks
"Maybe" said Katie knelling down in front of Danny giving him a hug he wrapped his arms around her and cried into her shoulder
Kaiba sat on the bus, he was in a mildly good mood and had decided to ignore Joey instead of making fun of him, it wasn't that he purposely went out of his way to piss him off, it just happened naturally, and it was just so much fun! He had taken the bus because his car had broken down again. He knew it was time to get a new car, but he liked his old car, and wanted to fix it instead of just throwing it away, that's how you always take care of problem's isn't it, just fire the cause, who cares if they have to live on the street with there families. As long as long as his company was successful and Mokaba was healthy and happy, he had nothing to worry about, nothing at all, except maybe the fact that he had no friends and was kind of suicidal, but other that that... He was dragged out of his thought by Yugi, "Kaiba this is your stop, isn't it?"
"Wha? Oh yeah, thanks" Kaiba walked off the bus, he was so distracted, but why? His hand tingled slightly, Katie... There's just some thing about you... He was soon pulled out of his thoughts again by a bundle of hair, "BIG BROTHER!!"
"Hi Mokaba" he said as his brother ran and gave him a hug
"How as school?" he asked
"Fine"
"Really, you usually say bad" said Mokaba with a look of confusion, then he smiled evilly, "It's a girl, isn't it?"
"WHAT!!! Well, yeah..." Kaiba looked down, he knew he couldn't win
"What's her name?" asked Mokaba grinning
"Mokaba, it might be a girl, but that doesn't mean-"
"I know I know!" said Mokaba, "I was just playing around" he said with an innocent smile
"Good, I've got some home work, so I'll talk to you later, k kid?"
"You have home work, since when do you have home work?"
"Since today" he said going to his office, it was true he never had home work, but he had been having to much fun talking to Katie to do it 'Am I starting to like her? No, that's insane, I don't bother with girls, there a waste of time' 'But if there such a waste of time, why did I talk to her instead of doing my work?' he sat down at his desk and pulled out his home work, he had math and Science, he had no English because Katie had helped him, he began solving the math problems, mind dulling math problems, (5356+72456) +(4568x6546456)-209823984723487x409845029, he stared at his math home work with eyes that couldn't see straight, 'why did I take academic math?' he thought mindlessly solving the next problem, after half an hour, which seemed like all night, he moved on to Science 'Why did I take academic every thing?' he thought hopelessly as he began to solve the problems on the sheet before him.
Kaiba looked around confused, he had been in his office doing home work and... He fell asleep, ok, so this is a dream, he said to him self. He looked around, he was in an open field, up ahead on a small hill was a girl, her back was to him, all he could tell was she had long light purple hair, he then noticed to her right a boy, he was blond, but they were both facing the other way so that was all he could tell, he began to walk toward the two of them
"Hello" the girl greeted, "Have a seat, she'll be hear soon"
Kaiba did as he was told, he looked at the girl who stared in front of her, taking in the beauty of the wild life in front of her, she had fair skin and light purple hair, her eye's were also purple, but unlike her hair they were dark and vivid, she was about the same age as him, and was very pretty, he looked over at the boy to his left, "Geff?"
Geff looked over, confusion in his crystal blue eyes, Geff was the only person Kaiba had ever called his friend, like the girl, he had fair skin, but his hair was a scruffy and blond, "Seto? What the hell are you doing in my dream?"
"Your dream? This is my dream!" said Kaiba
The girl looked over, "Really, I could have sworn it was mine"
They both looked over at her "But you seem to know what's going on, it can't be your dream!" said Geff
"I don't know what's going on, all I know is this dream started with my friend and I, and she went over that way" she pointed to her left to reveal a forest "And said she'd be back"
Geff looked like he had a migraine "This is confusing"
"I'll second that" said Kaiba, he made a mental note not to fall asleep doing home work ever again, 'Wait, my work, did I finish, yeah, I was reviewing when I fell asleep'
Geff looked over at the girl "Well, it has to be one of our dream..." Geff shrugged, "Well my name's Geff Henderson" he said
"Violet Willow" said the girl "My mom named me Violet because of my hair" she added
Kaiba sat quietly staring out at the field, it was beautiful, flowers of ever color dotted the emerald green ground, it was so peaceful, so, unreal, it has to be a dream "Do you have a name or will I have to call you ass?" Violet asked
"Wha? Oh sorry, Seto Kaiba"
"So you both think this is your dream" she said to her self "And I'm convinced this is my dream, wait! I just remembered about my friend, maybe it's her dream?"
"Or maybe it's all of our dream" said a fourth voice, it sounded familiar Kaiba turned around a gasped
Katie wandered through the woods, "Why the hell did I come in here?" she said to her self, 'Maybe I should turn back, this dream is strange, I want to wake up...' she thought desperately the edge of the forest, 'almost out' she wandered toward the edge of the woods to be met by a blanked of emerald green dotted with every color, she heard voices up ahead
"Well my names Geff Henderson"
"Violet Willow, my mom named me Violet because of my hair" a moment of sience "Do you have a name or will I have to call you ass?"
"Wha? Oh sorry, Seto Kaiba" 'Kaiba?' she thought
"So you both think this is your dream, and I'm convinced this is my dream, wait! I just remembered about my friend, maybe it's her dream?"
Katie smiled as she came up behind the three of them "Or maybe it's all of our dream" she said
The three of them turned around, Kaiba gasped "Katie?"
"Yeah?" she looked over at him
He closed his eyes "This is too weird" he said
"I'll agree with that" said Violet
"Vi, stop flirting" Katie said playfully
"I was not flirting!!!" she said, going a little red in the face
"Sure Vi, just like you weren't flirting-"
"Don't even finish that sentence Katie, just don't" she said, she was ticked
"Fine" said Katie sitting down in between Kaiba and Violet
Geff looked over at Katie "How is it possible for it to be all of our dream?"
"Well..." Katie didn't want to answer "Once before I had a dream and the other people who were in it said it was there dream, one of them said it was all of our dream, I figure it's the same story"
The three other's looked at her like she was nuts "Katie, only you would even think that way" said Violet "So how do we know if this is all of our dream, or just one of us?"
"Well, I know you and Kaiba, so I can ask you when we wake up" she looked over at Geff
"I just know Kaiba" he said "So I guess I'll talk to you when I wake up" he said leaning back "So why are we all here?" he looked over at Katie
"No idea" she allowed her self to fall backwards and stare up at the sky "The hell?"
"What is it?" asked Kaiba
"Look up" she said the other three looked up, to see a dark cloudy sky, but all around them was sunny and bright
"The hell is a good question" said Violet looking up
"Hmmm, maybe we each contribute to our surroundings?" said Katie to her self
"What?" Geff looked over at her
"Well, I think each of us is the cause for part of where we are, for instance, what were wearing is probably Vi's mind, the sky is probably mine, the woods, and the field are yours and Kaiba's"
Kaiba looked at the field "The field has to be Geff"
"Why?" asked Katie
"It's too peaceful, to calm to be my mind"
"So then you came up with those wretched woods" said Katie playfully
"Guess so" he said looking up at the sky "Why do you think the sky's yours?" he looked over at her, his ice blue eye's piercing through the shield she had up
"It reflects my life at the moment, depressing as hell"
"You're lying"
"So?"
"Tell me the real reason"
"Well, I was telling the truth about it reflecting my life, but I don't want to talk about it" she looked out at the field, Kaiba wanted her to talk, but he could tell she wasn't going to talk, 'what did she mean by what we were wearing?' he looked down at him self and noticed he was wearing wite pants, and a whit t-shirt, Geff wore the exact same thing, both girls wore white gowns 'why didn't I notice that before?' he thought to him self
Kaiba woke up, in his office, at his desk, his books covering his desk, scattered. He groggily looked over at his clock, 6:00am? 'I could go back to sleep for about an hour' he thought, but he hadn't done any work, he had done home work, but he didn't do his "work" work, he sat up and booted up his computer, packing up his books and going into the kitchen to get some thing to eat. Opening the fridge he found some left over pizza that looked appetizing, he took it into his office, his computer ready, he sat down and got to work.
Geff woke up his head sore, he looked over at the clock on his bed side table "six am" he said, rolling over he tried to go back to sleep, but his brother who was up at the crack of dawn had heard him and didn't believe in going back to sleep, "Geff get up"
"No" he said burying his head in his pillows
"Geff get up!"
"Go away" he mumbled
"Get up or else" he said walking over to his c.d's
Geff looked over "You wouldn't"
"Try me"
Geff knew his brother would so he glared "fine, but get out of my room"
Sam (his brother) did so, Geff sat up "Why do mom and dad always leave him to look after me when they go on trips?" he asked him self, he then remembered his dream, 'it was so strange' he thought looking over at his cell phone, he considered calling Seto, but he probably wasn't up
Violet woke up as her alarm went off, she hit a few times before forcing her self into a sitting position "Stupid band-practice" she said as she walked down the hall to her sister's room, she was in band too, then she stopped "That dream" she said to her self softly, she decided to call Katie after she got dressed
Katie lay in bed, thinking about things, she rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling, she didn't like her current room, but she had already talked to her uncle about changing rooms, he gladly agreed. Fighting the urge to just roll off of her bed Katie sat up. Her cell phone was vibrating "Who's calling me?" she said as she picked it up "Hello?"
"Hey!" Katie smiled inwardly, Vi
"Sup?"
"O.k, your going to think I'm crazy-"
"I already do so just spit it out" said Katie
"Well that was uncalled for!"
"It was perfectly called for"
"Well, did you have the same dream as me last night?"
"Yeah"
Katie could here her friend smile "So what's the story with that Kaiba guy?"
"There is no story Vi, he's in all of my classes"
"All? Maybe he bribed the teachers, do you sit beside him?"
"No, and yes"
"He didn't bribe the teacher, but you sit beside him I think he did"
"So did I, but he said he didn't, I believe him"
Katie could see the look of confusion over the phone "You, trusted some one, MY GOD! You don't even trust ME!!!"
"I have a reason not to trust you" she said playfully"
"Shut up"
"Listen Vi, I gotta let you go, I've got to feed Dragon, I'll call you after school"
"Kay, bye!"
"Bye" said Katie turning her phone off, he mind slipped to the moment at the lake a few days ago, it was an exaggeration to say she had NO friends, she had Vi, but that was about it, and Vi didn't live any where near her, she lived half an hour away now, so she'd have to go see her soon.
"Katie?" came a small childes voice
"Hey, what are you doing up?" she asked looking over at her cousin
"I can't sleep"
"Are you saying you couldn't sleep all night or you got up and couldn't fall back asleep?"
"Bit of both"
"You're going to be tiered today"
Danny laughed weakly "I know, are you going to change rooms?"
"Yeah, why?" she looked over at the small boy who looked exhausted
"Just wanted to know, I think I found one you'd like"
"Let me get dressed and feed Dragon, then show it to me, ok?"
"Kay" at that he turned and headed to the kitchen
Katie dressed, fed her horse, and met Danny in the kitchen, "So why do you think this room is so great for me and not you?"
"I know you like to draw, and I know you're inspired by nature"
Katie nodded "One point, any thing else?"
"Has a bathroom attached, a balcony and a window you can sit in, it's two rooms attached"
"Why don't you want this room exactly?"
"I hate really big windows"
"Why???" Katie had already fallen in love with this room
"I just do" he snapped
Katie knew Danny didn't snap often so she left the subject there and followed the small boy up two flights of stairs (note: It's a mansion not a house) till they reached the room , "You right, this room is perfect for me" said Katie looking around, it was actually two rooms, not counting bath room, on was a normal room, had a walk in closet, bathroom attached, and a window that went out so you could sit in it, she had already decided that this room would be good for her bed, the next room was plain, except the edge of the room had sort of a minute mote, Katie made a mental note that she could fill it with dirt and plant some thing, the balcony had a view of the lake, and also had a mote. Katie smiled "Where do I sine?" she asked playfully
"The wall" said Danny sounding serious, which scared Katie just a little bit
She forced her self to laugh "I've gotta get going squirt, see ya!"
"Bye" said Danny as he watched his cousin run down stairs.
Katie ran to the bus stop, "God damn it!" she ran after the bus which was already down the street, 'T's going to kill me!' she thought hopelessly as she began to walk to school, this is insane, 'I'm going to get to school after lunch'
Kaiba walked rubbed his eyes and saved what he had done, "I'll finish up after school" he said as he began to walk to the bus stop, only to realize that he had missed his bus, he took out his cell phone and dialed his chauffer.
In about ten minutes he was sitting in the back seat of his limo staring out the window, he told his driver to take the long way, he missed the bus, but when he took the bus he was always and hour early. Then he saw her, Katie, 'why the hell do I like her? I don't like her' he corrected him self, "Stop the limo" he instructed his driver, he rolled down the window "Need a ride?"
Katie looked at him, he blue hair was all over the place because it was really windy "Yes" she said sounding very tiered
Kaiba opened the door and moved over a seat "Hop in" he smiled, not a cold icy smile, a genuine "warm" smile
Katie returned his smile with a weak one of her own and climbed in "Thanks, I owe you big time" she said smoothing out her hair
"Don't mention it" he said turning his attention to the window
Katie was about to answer with a mischievous smart-ass answer when her cell phone rang "Hello Katie speaking" she answered
"Hello, do you know who this is?"
"Uhhhh, no, who is it?"
The voice laughed "An old friend"
Katie suddenly had a bad feeling, "Who is this?" she asked again her voice held a hint of fear, Kaiba heard it and looked over at her
"You don't remember me?" said the female voice mockingly
"How can I remember you if I don't know who you are?" asked Katie, her fear replaced with anger
"You'll remember me soon enough" said the voice, then the line went dead
Katie hung up her phone and looked at it with a nagging feeling, "Who was that?" asked Kaiba
"I don't know, but I don't think I want to"
Some thing inside of Kaiba stirred, 'SHIT! Not him, no, go back to sleep' he thought desperately, he did not want his Yami awake
Disclamer: I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH!!!! But I wanna, *sniff sniff*
Katie walked down her drive way, first day of school over, over all it had been good, she had found some of the distraction she seeked, but not enough, the sight of her aunt on her death bed was still fresh in her mind, fresh, vivid. Her aunt, her mom... "I miss you both" she said softly to her self, she needed to distract her self, she remembered what she had done when her mother had died, she had worked, non stop, worked with her uncle, and worked to control them, she had to be strong, she had to... Out of the corner of her eye she saw Danny, the sweet innocent boy... He just lost his mother, just like I did so many years ago... Six years, so long, too long... Danny saw her, he saw the tears that stained her face, his face was stained with tears too, he hadn't stopped crying all day, the pain was unbearable, he just wanted it all to go away, Dragon had offered a little comfort, but not as much as he needed. He approached his cousin "Hi" he said weakly
"Hi" she answered, just as weakly
"How was school?" neither wanted to talk about his mom
"Good" she looked at Danny "We can't avoid it and pretend it never happened" she said, her eyes full of tears
"I know, how, how did you deal with your mom's death, I, I just can't stand it, it hurts" he was crying, he had never felt pain like this in his life
"I know it hurts, it will never stop hurting, not until you die, but it dose die down, it dose become more bearable, it dose become easier"
"What's the point? It just ends up with pain" he was looking at the ground
"Danny, I wish I could answer that question, but I don't know the meaning of life. And each person will answer that question differently"
"You didn't tell me how you dealt with your mom's death"
"I just kept going, day after day, week after week, and month after month"
"Year after year" said Danny "How did you stand it?"
"I don't really know, it was hard, but I tried to distract myself, but that didn't really help, Dragon helped, Uncle Tom helped, Aunt rose helped, but other than that, I just kept forcing myself to go on"
"I don't think I can"
"You can, maybe not right now, but you will be able to"
"Maybe..." he looked down at his feet tears streaming down his cheeks
"Maybe" said Katie knelling down in front of Danny giving him a hug he wrapped his arms around her and cried into her shoulder
Kaiba sat on the bus, he was in a mildly good mood and had decided to ignore Joey instead of making fun of him, it wasn't that he purposely went out of his way to piss him off, it just happened naturally, and it was just so much fun! He had taken the bus because his car had broken down again.

As long as long as his company was successful and Mokaba was healthy and happy, he had nothing to worry about, nothing at all, except maybe the fact that he had no friends and was kind of suicidal, but other that that... He was dragged out of his thought by Yugi, "Kaiba this is your stop, isn't it?"
"Wha? Oh yeah, thanks" Kaiba walked off the bus, he was so distracted, but why? His hand tingled slightly, Katie... There's just some thing about you... He was soon pulled out of his thoughts again by a bundle of hair, "BIG BROTHER!!"
"Hi Mokaba" he said as his brother ran and gave him a hug
"How as school?" he asked
"Fine"
"Really, you usually say bad" said Mokaba with a look of confusion, then he smiled evilly, "It's a girl, isn't it?"
"WHAT!!! Well, yeah..." Kaiba looked down, he knew he couldn't win
"What's her name?" asked Mokaba grinning
"Mokaba, it might be a girl, but that doesn't mean-"
"I know I know!" said Mokaba, "I was just playing around" he said with an innocent smile
"Good, I've got some home work, so I'll talk to you later, k kid?"
"You have home work, since when do you have home work?"
"Since today" he said going to his office, it was true he never had home work, but he had been having to much fun talking to Katie to do it 'Am I starting to like her? No, that's insane, I don't bother with girls, there a waste of time' 'But if there such a waste of time, why did I talk to her instead of doing my work?' he sat down at his desk and pulled out his home work, he had math and Science, he had no English because Katie had helped him, he began solving the math problems, mind dulling math problems, (5356+72456) +(4568x6546456)-209823984723487x409845029, he stared at his math home work with eyes that couldn't see straight, 'why did I take academic math?' he thought mindlessly solving the next problem, after half an hour, which seemed like all night, he moved on to Science 'Why did I take academic every thing?' he thought hopelessly as he began to solve the problems on the sheet before him.
Kaiba looked around confused, he had been in his office doing home work and... He fell asleep, ok, so this is a dream, he said to him self. He looked around, he was in an open field, up ahead on a small hill was a girl, her back was to him, all he could tell was she had long light purple hair, he then noticed to her right a boy, he was blond, but they were both facing the other way so that was all he could tell, he began to walk toward the two of them

Geff looked over, confusion in his crystal blue eyes, Geff was the only person Kaiba had ever called his friend, like the girl, he had fair skin, but his hair was a scruffy and blond, "Seto? What the hell are you doing in my dream?"
"Your dream? This is my dream!" said Kaiba
The girl looked over, "Really, I could have sworn it was mine"
They both looked over at her "But you seem to know what's going on, it can't be your dream!" said Geff
"I don't know what's going on, all I know is this dream started with my friend and I, and she went over that way" she pointed to her left to reveal a forest "And said she'd be back"
Geff looked like he had a migraine "This is confusing"
"I'll second that" said Kaiba, he made a mental note not to fall asleep doing home work ever again, 'Wait, my work, did I finish, yeah, I was reviewing when I fell asleep'
Geff looked over at the girl "Well, it has to be one of our dream..." Geff shrugged, "Well my name's Geff Henderson" he said
"Violet Willow" said the girl "My mom named me Violet because of my hair" she added
Kaiba sat quietly staring out at the field, it was beautiful, flowers of ever color dotted the emerald green ground, it was so peaceful, so, unreal, it has to be a dream "Do you have a name or will I have to call you ass?" Violet asked
"Wha? Oh sorry, Seto Kaiba"
"So you both think this is your dream" she said to her self "And I'm convinced this is my dream, wait! I just remembered about my friend, maybe it's her dream?"
"Or maybe it's all of our dream" said a fourth voice, it sounded familiar Kaiba turned around a gasped
Katie wandered through the woods, "Why the hell did I come in here?" she said to her self, 'Maybe I should turn back, this dream is strange, I want to wake up...' she thought desperately the edge of the forest, 'almost out' she wandered toward the edge of the woods to be met by a blanked of emerald green dotted with every color, she heard voices up ahead
"Well my names Geff Henderson"
"Violet Willow, my mom named me Violet because of my hair" a moment of sience "Do you have a name or will I have to call you ass?"
"Wha? Oh sorry, Seto Kaiba" 'Kaiba?' she thought
"So you both think this is your dream, and I'm convinced this is my dream, wait! I just remembered about my friend, maybe it's her dream?"
Katie smiled as she came up behind the three of them "Or maybe it's all of our dream" she said
The three of them turned around, Kaiba gasped "Katie?"
"Yeah?" she looked over at him
He closed his eyes "This is too weird" he said
"I'll agree with that" said Violet
"Vi, stop flirting" Katie said playfully
"I was not flirting!!!" she said, going a little red in the face
"Sure Vi, just like you weren't flirting-"
"Don't even finish that sentence Katie, just don't" she said, she was ticked
"Fine" said Katie sitting down in between Kaiba and Violet
Geff looked over at Katie "How is it possible for it to be all of our dream?"
"Well..." Katie didn't want to answer "Once before I had a dream and the other people who were in it said it was there dream, one of them said it was all of our dream, I figure it's the same story"
The three other's looked at her like she was nuts "Katie, only you would even think that way" said Violet "So how do we know if this is all of our dream, or just one of us?"
"Well, I know you and Kaiba, so I can ask you when we wake up" she looked over at Geff
"I just know Kaiba" he said "So I guess I'll talk to you when I wake up" he said leaning back "So why are we all here?" he looked over at Katie
"No idea" she allowed her self to fall backwards and stare up at the sky "The hell?"
"What is it?" asked Kaiba
"Look up" she said the other three looked up, to see a dark cloudy sky, but all around them was sunny and bright
"The hell is a good question" said Violet looking up
"Hmmm, maybe we each contribute to our surroundings?" said Katie to her self
"What?" Geff looked over at her
"Well, I think each of us is the cause for part of where we are, for instance, what were wearing is probably Vi's mind, the sky is probably mine, the woods, and the field are yours and Kaiba's"
Kaiba looked at the field "The field has to be Geff"
"Why?" asked Katie
"It's too peaceful, to calm to be my mind"
"So then you came up with those wretched woods" said Katie playfully
"Guess so" he said looking up at the sky "Why do you think the sky's yours?" he looked over at her, his ice blue eye's piercing through the shield she had up
"It reflects my life at the moment, depressing as hell"
"You're lying"
"So?"
"Tell me the real reason"
"Well, I was telling the truth about it reflecting my life, but I don't want to talk about it" she looked out at the field, Kaiba wanted her to talk, but he could tell she wasn't going to talk, 'what did she mean by what we were wearing?' he looked down at him self and noticed he was wearing wite pants, and a whit t-shirt, Geff wore the exact same thing, both girls wore white gowns 'why didn't I notice that before?' he thought to him self
Kaiba woke up, in his office, at his desk, his books covering his desk, scattered. He groggily looked over at his clock, 6:00am? 'I could go back to sleep for about an hour' he thought, but he hadn't done any work, he had done home work, but he didn't do his "work" work, he sat up and booted up his computer, packing up his books and going into the kitchen to get some thing to eat. Opening the fridge he found some left over pizza that looked appetizing, he took it into his office, his computer ready, he sat down and got to work.
Geff woke up his head sore, he looked over at the clock on his bed side table "six am" he said, rolling over he tried to go back to sleep, but his brother who was up at the crack of dawn had heard him and didn't believe in going back to sleep, "Geff get up"
"No" he said burying his head in his pillows
"Geff get up!"
"Go away" he mumbled
"Get up or else" he said walking over to his c.d's
Geff looked over "You wouldn't"
"Try me"
Geff knew his brother would so he glared "fine, but get out of my room"
Sam (his brother) did so, Geff sat up "Why do mom and dad always leave him to look after me when they go on trips?" he asked him self, he then remembered his dream, 'it was so strange' he thought looking over at his cell phone, he considered calling Seto, but he probably wasn't up
Violet woke up as her alarm went off, she hit a few times before forcing her self into a sitting position "Stupid band-practice" she said as she walked down the hall to her sister's room, she was in band too, then she stopped "That dream" she said to her self softly, she decided to call Katie after she got dressed
Katie lay in bed, thinking about things, she rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling, she didn't like her current room, but she had already talked to her uncle about changing rooms, he gladly agreed. Fighting the urge to just roll off of her bed Katie sat up. Her cell phone was vibrating "Who's calling me?" she said as she picked it up "Hello?"
"Hey!" Katie smiled inwardly, Vi
"Sup?"
"O.k, your going to think I'm crazy-"
"I already do so just spit it out" said Katie
"Well that was uncalled for!"
"It was perfectly called for"
"Well, did you have the same dream as me last night?"
"Yeah"
Katie could here her friend smile "So what's the story with that Kaiba guy?"
"There is no story Vi, he's in all of my classes"
"All? Maybe he bribed the teachers, do you sit beside him?"
"No, and yes"
"He didn't bribe the teacher, but you sit beside him I think he did"
"So did I, but he said he didn't, I believe him"
Katie could see the look of confusion over the phone "You, trusted some one, MY GOD! You don't even trust ME!!!"
"I have a reason not to trust you" she said playfully"
"Shut up"
"Listen Vi, I gotta let you go, I've got to feed Dragon, I'll call you after school"
"Kay, bye!"
"Bye" said Katie turning her phone off, he mind slipped to the moment at the lake a few days ago, it was an exaggeration to say she had NO friends, she had Vi, but that was about it, and Vi didn't live any where near her, she lived half an hour away now, so she'd have to go see her soon.
"Katie?" came a small childes voice
"Hey, what are you doing up?" she asked looking over at her cousin
"I can't sleep"
"Are you saying you couldn't sleep all night or you got up and couldn't fall back asleep?"
"Bit of both"
"You're going to be tiered today"
Danny laughed weakly "I know, are you going to change rooms?"
"Yeah, why?" she looked over at the small boy who looked exhausted
"Just wanted to know, I think I found one you'd like"
"Let me get dressed and feed Dragon, then show it to me, ok?"
"Kay" at that he turned and headed to the kitchen
Katie dressed, fed her horse, and met Danny in the kitchen, "So why do you think this room is so great for me and not you?"
"I know you like to draw, and I know you're inspired by nature"
Katie nodded "One point, any thing else?"
"Has a bathroom attached, a balcony and a window you can sit in, it's two rooms attached"
"Why don't you want this room exactly?"
"I hate really big windows"
"Why???" Katie had already fallen in love with this room
"I just do" he snapped
Katie knew Danny didn't snap often so she left the subject there and followed the small boy up two flights of stairs (note: It's a mansion not a house) till they reached the room , "You right, this room is perfect for me" said Katie looking around, it was actually two rooms, not counting bath room, on was a normal room, had a walk in closet, bathroom attached, and a window that went out so you could sit in it, she had already decided that this room would be good for her bed, the next room was plain, except the edge of the room had sort of a minute mote, Katie made a mental note that she could fill it with dirt and plant some thing, the balcony had a view of the lake, and also had a mote. Katie smiled "Where do I sine?" she asked playfully
"The wall" said Danny sounding serious, which scared Katie just a little bit
She forced her self to laugh "I've gotta get going squirt, see ya!"
"Bye" said Danny as he watched his cousin run down stairs.
Katie ran to the bus stop, "God damn it!" she ran after the bus which was already down the street, 'T's going to kill me!' she thought hopelessly as she began to walk to school, this is insane, 'I'm going to get to school after lunch'
Kaiba walked rubbed his eyes and saved what he had done, "I'll finish up after school" he said as he began to walk to the bus stop, only to realize that he had missed his bus, he took out his cell phone and dialed his chauffer.
In about ten minutes he was sitting in the back seat of his limo staring out the window, he told his driver to take the long way, he missed the bus, but when he took the bus he was always and hour early. Then he saw her, Katie, 'why the hell do I like her? I don't like her' he corrected him self, "Stop the limo" he instructed his driver, he rolled down the window "Need a ride?"
Katie looked at him, he blue hair was all over the place because it was really windy "Yes" she said sounding very tiered
Kaiba opened the door and moved over a seat "Hop in" he smiled, not a cold icy smile, a genuine "warm" smile
Katie returned his smile with a weak one of her own and climbed in "Thanks, I owe you big time" she said smoothing out her hair
"Don't mention it" he said turning his attention to the window
Katie was about to answer with a mischievous smart-ass answer when her cell phone rang "Hello Katie speaking" she answered
"Hello, do you know who this is?"
"Uhhhh, no, who is it?"
The voice laughed "An old friend"
Katie suddenly had a bad feeling, "Who is this?" she asked again her voice held a hint of fear, Kaiba heard it and looked over at her
"You don't remember me?" said the female voice mockingly
"How can I remember you if I don't know who you are?" asked Katie, her fear replaced with anger
"You'll remember me soon enough" said the voice, then the line went dead
Katie hung up her phone and looked at it with a nagging feeling, "Who was that?" asked Kaiba
"I don't know, but I don't think I want to"
Some thing inside of Kaiba stirred, 'SHIT! Not him, no, go back to sleep' he thought desperately, he did not want his Yami awake
Disclamer: I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH!!!! But I wanna, *sniff sniff*
