~ * ~ * Flashback * ~ * ~



Gozaburo had just adopted Seto and Mokuba a week ago and life couldn't be worst! He already beaten Seto at LEAST 12 times. Half of the time, he did not even DO anything WRONG!! He feared for his brother so, and made excuses so that he wouldn't get hurt. Yet those sacrifices ended with painful consequences. He thought that himself and Mokuba would never be showed love or friendship until today:

Gozaburo knocked on Seto's and Mokuba's bedroom doors. Ten-year-old Seto got out and rubbed his eyes to try to get the sleep out. Mokuba yawned holding his Teddy in his arms. "What is it?" asked Seto. "Get dress in you best clothes!" commanded Gozaburo, "The owners of Technology Corp. are coming to make a deal with our company. And hearing about our latest "Joys" decided to bring their grand daughter with them. I want you two to be nice and considerate and all of that "friendship" crap. And if you don't and she complains IT WOULD BE YOU BEHINDS!!! UNDERSTAND??!!" "Yes we understand." replied the two. "Good! NOW HURRY UP!!!" he yelled as he walked down the stairs. The two got dressed, ate breakfast and now were waiting for this girl. "Seto?" asked the innocent Mokuba (A/N: Awwwwww!! I just LUV Mokuba!!) "Do you think she would be nice and considerate and all that "friendship" crap?" mimicking Gozaburo. "Naw, and don't mimic Gozaburo!" said Seto, "She is a born rich kid. All she would have us do is get stuff for her and play with her dolls!" "Yuck!" said Mokuba. Seto laughed as he ruffled his brother's hair. The two laughed a little as they waited for this girl. Half an hour pasted as the doorbell rang. *Ding-Dong* "Ok that must be them. Remember ACT NICE!" said Gozaburo as he opened the door. "Mr. and Mrs. Hana!" he said with a smile "Gozaburo!" said Mr. Hana. "Where is you lovely grand daughter?" asked Gozaburo. "She is here somewhere. Mizu, oh Mizu?" called Mrs. Hana. Suddenly a little girl's head appeared from behind her grandmother. "Ah! There you are!" exclaimed Gozaburo. "Come on Mizu, come show yourself." said Mr. Hana. Mizu walked out in front of her grandparents. Seto just stood there in awe. She was faired skinned with light blue eyes and long Bluish-blackish hair that went into a half-bun( A/N: like Sailor Pluto's hair style but obviously shorter) and the cutest yellow dress you have ever seen. "Yes, you look beautiful Miss Mizu." exclaimed Gozaburo "Well these are my, err sons: Seto and Mokuba. Hmmm, I think Seto is your age! Why don't you guys play a game somewhere?" "Shall we?" asked Mr. Hana, "Remember time is money!" "Yes, lets us go." replied Gozaburo. "Have fun you guys!" yelled Mrs. Hana as the three went into another room leaving Seto, Mizu and Mokuba all alone.

"So what do you guys want to play?" asked Mizu. "Anything but dolls!" said Mokuba in disgust. "Hahaha, ok we won't." laughed Mizu. She scanned the room for a game. "Hey! Chess!" she exclaimed. "Hmph! You won't beat my brother!" bragged Mokuba, "He won a chess game from Gozaburo at the orphanage!" "You guys were in a orph-" Mizu started to ask. "Yeah." answered Seto, " But never mind about that. Lets Play!" The three raced to the table.

The game started pretty even, each person was getting pawn after pawn, bishop got bishop, rook got bishop and so on until there was just 6 pieces on the board. Hmmm.She is good but still I have the upper hand! thought Seto. All I need to do is move this piece here and I win! "Queen to E5!" said Seto. "Good move." answered Mizu, "..but NOT good enough! Knight to B3! Checkmate!!" "NO!" said Seto, How could I have lost??!! His eyes trembled as he looked to the board (A/N: He doesn't take losing easily EVEN as a KID!) He stared at the board trying to figure it out an- "Big Brother!" called Mokuba from outside. Never mind this, I will figure it out later. Seto ran to the door and went outside. There he saw Mizu and Mokuba looking at a rose bush. "Wow!" exclaimed Mizu, "You guys have the most beautiful blue girl roses ever!" "Their just flowers." muttered Seto who did not see the point of coming outside. "Well to you!" said Mizu with a little anger, "Don't you know the legend of the blue rose?" "No." "Well than." said Mizu, "I will tell you it:"

It basically goes that long ago, a warrior was about to leave to war in a far away land and wanted to get a flower for his love, the maiden by the sea. He looked and looked until he found a rose bush filled with the reddest roses you have every seen! So he got one for her. When the maiden got the rose, she promised that she would always wait for him by the cliff with the rose until he got back. So he left and the maiden fulfilled her promise. She waited for him but the cliff every day with the rose in hand. The days came and past, but she remained waiting. As her hope grew stronger and stronger, the rose began to grow darker until it turned into a light- dark blue rose. One day, she got a letter from the general. This might be word from her love. She read it. It said that her love died in battle. She wept and in agony threw the rose into the sea. The rose separated into many petals and the petals drifted into the 7 continents and grew into blue rose bushes. To this day, the blue roses symbolized the love of the maiden.(A/N: Read the prologue to understand the story better)

"There!" exclaimed Mizu, "That is why I think the blue roses stand more about love than the red ones." "I had no idea." said Seto as the three watch over the roses.

Seto woke up with drops of sweat. "Mizu stayed with us for a year." he said, "She left the following year with her grand parents to France. I never saw her since." He looked at the clock, 6:30am. He still had sometime to sleep before school. He rearranged his pillows then slowly fell asleep.

Aqua: Well? What did you think??

Seto: Leave me alone! I am TRYING TO SLEEP!

Aqua: Awwwww!! *Hugs Seto*

Seto: *Sweat mark*
