Attara: I'm ba-ack!

Aria: I knew your absence was too good to be true.

Attara: If I wasn't here, you aren't here either!

Aria: Someone else will write about me…right?

Attara: Ha! You wish!

Aria: Of course, I'm the sweetest girl in the world!

Attara: You're supposed to be DEAD!

Aria: You know what? You just keep on depressing me with all this "dead" stuff…

Attara: raises eyebrows Anyway, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Last time we left off where Liana's uncle died.

Potent Wedded Bliss

It was rainy that day, just like how all funerals are supposed to be. The black coffin was solemnly lifted from the limousine. I watched the casket lower into the whole in the mud. Unwanted tears rolled down my cheeks. I had never felt for anyone what I felt for my uncle.

A considerable amount of people had shown up for the ceremony. Many of whom were on my uncle's payroll. No relatives, no friends. Just me. I didn't care. From that moment on, I decided to shut everyone out of my heart.

The day after, I rushed to Kaiba Corporations. No matter how I felt about our young age and inexperience to get married, I must follow a departed soul's wishes. I entered the elevator and rose to the top floor.

"Ma'am, this floor is restricted!" A voice called to me as I stepped out.

"I just need to see Seto Kaiba!" I answered quickly.

"Master Kaiba isn't in here."

"Oh…okay. Thank you."

I scrambled for the elevator button and reached the bottom floor. Oh great… Where else could he be? I wondered. I looked through schools, malls, Kaiba Land, checked the company again, game shops, the museum, everywhere, but I couldn't find him. I gave up for the day and walked to the park. And there, I saw him. He was watching a dark-haired boy. He probably was Mokuba. I remembered that I heard in the news that Pegasus had kidnapped him once. But Seto did manage to bring him back…or at least attempted.

I walked closer to Seto Kaiba.

"Seto Kaiba?" I asked.

"What do you want?" He answered gruffly.

"I'm here with…"

I shoved my hand into my suitcase and retrieved an envelope containing a marriage contract. I showed it to him.

"Are you crazy? I don't even know your name!" He cried out.

"Liana." I muttered.

"That's still not enough!"

"Why? Do you plan on marrying someone else anytime soon?"

"It's not a question of why wouldn't I marry, but why will I marry!"

"My uncle wants to protect me."

"I don't care about your stupid uncle!"

Tsk, tsk, tsk… Bad choice of words! I put him in a headlock and forced him to sign the papers. I know it wasn't very ladylike to be forcing someone into marriage, but it was my uncle's will, and therefore, it must be done. I felt him attempting to shove me off, but my days as the niece of a very wealthy man had forced me into training among one of the most experienced fighters in the world. This prevented me from budging at all. But he was physically fit, too, so, seconds later, I flew to the ground. Ouch!

"Who do you think you are?!" he glared.

"Liana." I repeated.

"I will never marry you! Can you get that into your thick skull?"

I smiled and turned around in order to face Mokuba. I turned back to Seto. His eyes widened.

"Don't even think about touching Mokuba." He snarled.

"Me? Why would I think about it?" I asked innocently.

"Stay away from him!"

"I wouldn't touch him…unless I needed something…"

Another growl.

"Are you trying to communicate with your fellow dogs…Joey?" I cracked.

"You touch Mokuba, and you will wish you were never born!"

"The same threats you imposed on Pegasus?"

"Don't you ever shut up?!"

"Only when I'm not trying to negotiate."

I took one step toward his younger brother. I smirked as I heard another growl. This time, I ignored it and took a second step. I felt that he was ready to lunge the moment I came in arm's length of his little brother. But I am an intelligent girl, and I choose to use my intelligence. Therefore, I tackled Mokuba to the ground. I made certain to not harm Mokuba. Nevertheless, he gave a slight yelp, but other than that, he was silent. Seto fell to the area I had formerly been stationed. I watched patronizingly as he quickly stood up, brushing the dirt off of his blue jacket. He leaped toward me once again. I moved slightly as he desperately groped for Mokuba's clothing. I cackled. Then, I realized I had dropped the papers when I had tackled his younger brother. Seto turned around and grabbed the dropped papers. Did he think I would make the trade? I could always obtain copies. I clutched Mokuba even tighter. Seto winced as he saw my grip tighten. He reached into his pocket and produced a pen with the words "Seto Kaiba" engraved at the side.

So, Seto hesitantly wrote his name onto the contract and returned the papers to me.

Then, my legs gave from under me. My energy was being drained from my body. That's where I am now. Everything is black. Now, I see a peek of light in the darkness. Two identical girls approach me. One has a different atmosphere of respect than the other… One is expressionless. The other is sad. The apathetic girl touched my hand. Now the light is blinding.

Attara: Okay, that's the end of Liana's point of view because, well, she's dead! Next is Aria's. Yes, yes I know that Devi killed people, but only…uh…twice?!

Aria: Tsk, tsk, tsk, and she's supposed to be a good, pure person.

Attara: Liana's not even real! Devi conjured her up somehow!

Aria: Is she pretending to be a god?!

Attara: No, she's not!

Aria: Sure she isn't… says suspiciously with shifty eyes

Attara: Oh, be quiet. You don't even know what you're talking about!

Aria: Sure…whatever… I'll get you some day! By the way, don't forget to review!
