A forgotten Princess

'The pool Party Pt.2 "Look who's back…"'

By: Mirai

Let's skip the shopping… About 2.30

Yugi and Ielan both walked out with a few bags filled with clothes but more stuff for her new friends. Her and Yugi went back to the shop to drop it off. She went up to her room tossing her bags on the bed rummaging through them as she pulled out a bandana. She wiped her forehead looking in the mirror with distaste.

"I wonder what Yugi would think if he saw this damned birth mark on my forehead, I was lucky if it wasn't for my bangs they'd seen it when my make-up washed off."

She said to herself as she tied the bandana on her head. She grabbed a box placing it on Yugi's bed returning to her room grabbing 7 gold chains with rings attached. She put them in her purse running to meet Yugi. They hurried to Kaiba's being only a half an hour late Seto opened the door giving them a smirk when he saw them coming in together. After he told them everyone was outside she grabbed both their arms dragging them outside looking for her there friends who happened to be together except Inuyasha. She continued to drag them towards the others till they finally were with them. She took a deep breath before she began to speak.

"Everybody, I know I haven't known you long but you are the greatest people I've ever met and I wanted to get you a little something to show you how glad I am that you're my friends."

She took the rings out of her pocket handing them each one.

"I got ones that looked like they might fit if you wanted to wear the ring. And if you don't want to that's fine I just wanted to get you something."

"This is beautiful, and it's real."

Shizuka said bluntly, Jou gave her a look and she shrugged, even Kaiba was thankful for the thoughtful gift.

Everyone continued to look at the rings carefully; one by one giving her a hug telling her how much they loved it and such. She excused herself going off in search of Inuyasha finding him alone by the volleyball field. She approached him giving him a small smile, which he returned with his cool smirk.

"Inuyasha, I wanted to give you something. Because I think of you as a friend and you're an awesome person. I gave one to my other friends too."

He looked at it giving her a smirk as he put it on his neck, he gave her a hug thanking her as well. She looked up when she heard a conversation that peaked her interest.

"Hey Baka where have you been all vacation?"

"I was in Egypt."

A soft voice answered sadly.

"Did you not want to go or something? You don't seem very happy about it. If you didn't want to go I would have love to have gone in your place."

"No, no… It's not that. My girlfriend lives there and I go as often as I'm able to try and see her but I couldn't find her these last 2 times, and I haven't had a chance to write so I'm worried."

"Oh, that girl you claim is so beautiful… sure. We have some new girl around she's already made friends with Kaiba-kun and Yugi-san. I haven't gotten to see her but the guys say she's hot. Tall, exotic blonde."

She turned around but couldn't see anyone who looked familiar. Kaiba saw her searching but decided to wait to see something. Ielan excused herself from Inuyasha going to join Yugi, Jou and Shizuka in the pool. She tightened her bandana seeing if she could swim with it on.

"Hey you guys."

She called as she made her way towards them in the pool. She smiled and looked at all the people that were there many of, which she didn't know. They swam for an hour before they got out and decided to watch Jou who had decided to duel against Inuyasha. Everyone went inside except Shizuka and Hiroto who had disappeared. The duel was pretty fierce but Jou won, both did a great job.

It was going on 6 and Anzu decided her and Shizuka wanted to have a karaoke contest. The 2 of them got a few others to help. A bunch of people listened to that deciding to have a laugh. Yugi, Ielan and Kaiba listened to the awful singing for a little while but eventually they couldn't take anymore and they decided to walk around together. Yugi with his arm around her as they walked. Kaiba introduced her to some of the people she didn't know. They were outside watching Inuyasha take on some guy when she heard a voice once again that made heart squeeze. Kaiba poked her to get her attention as she turned to a guy that was approaching

"Kai, this is…"

She looked towards the approaching guy uneasily, when his eyes met hers they both halted. She looked him over as if she knew him from somewhere taking a step out of Yugi's arm towards him as she continued to stare at him. Tears could now be seen in her eyes as she closed the distance between the 2 of them. She hugged the boy tightly and he did the same a few tears of happiness could be seen in his eyes.

"Bakura Ryou."

Kaiba finished stupidly as him and Yugi watched the 2 in confusion. She let her tears fall onto his bare chest as he held her, they stayed that way for a few minutes, and Yugi left not feeling like witnessing her reunion with her boyfriend, at least that's who he figured it was. Kaiba was confused so he stuck around, as the 2 finally spilt apart Ielan, looking back Kaiba with a bright blush. She ignored him momentarily turning back to Bakura who had his arms around her tightly. He looked down at her as if she was a dream that has just come true, afraid she would disappear again.

Ielan turned to a confused Kaiba with a blush.

"Sorry Seto, I've been with him since I was 8. He's my boyfriend."

She said feeling happy, but when se looked to see Yugi he was gone. She looked around seeing him walking away. She kissed Ryou as she took off running after Yugi who was inside now. She walked behind him feeling ashamed of how she acted. She finally decided to speak as she grabbed his arm.

"Yugi-san?"

He gave her a weird look as she added the suffix onto his name. She didn't look away this time, she kept Yugi's eyes locked with her own.

"I told you to call me Yugi."

He said giving her a small smile, she blushed letting go of his arm as she spoke to him.

"I know but you seemed upset with me and I don't blame you. I'm so sorry."

He gave her a sweet and sincere smile. He looked down at her tears stained cheeks feeling a flash. But more like it was from Yami's memories. He was really confused his feelings for some reason was mixing with Yami's, this made him feel even worse about the way things turned out. He looked towards Ielan who was staring at him with teary eyes.

"Um... Ielan go back to Ryou-kun."

He told her, she stared at him a little longer as he was leaving her standing alone as she unhappily watched him. Her mind was racing with thoughts but her heart was split in 2. Facing a decision that silently she knew she was going to have to make. She turned around quickly seeing Yugi was still in sight when she called for him. He turned around and she saw him looking at her confused and hurt.

"Yugi, for now can you forgive me?"

She asked him unsurely, he turned and walked away, she collapsed and began to cry quietly when Ryou found her. He picked her up in his arms carefully standing her on her own 2 feet as he hugged her tightly.

"Ielan, I've missed you so much. My family had been moving around a lot so I wasn't able to write you, and I went to your home to look for you but you weren't anywhere."

She wrapped her arms around him and he did the same. She was really confused now but she let her heart feel the slight happiness it wanted to. Ryou ran his hands through her hair trying to comfort his sobbing lost love. Ryou had given into his love for her a long time, for some reason so did his dark side, she was the only thing he would never hurt. He could sense it but didn't know why his dark side was jealous of Yami, because of Ielan.

Yugi walked away trying to think to himself. He was clearly in thought when he walked into his blonde haired friend who gave him a concerned look. He shook his head clearing it of the thoughts. He gave Yugi a smirk asking where Ielan was, and Yugi's expression saddened again.

"She found her boyfriend, the one she's been searching for."

Jou's expression was shocked at what he had just said. Yugi glanced at him and he looked really pissed.

"After all you've done she's just gonna blow you off just because she found her long lost boyfriend."

Yugi shook his head explaining things to him.

"That's not it at all. She was excited and went to him, but she came after me and I'm the one who blew her off. I need to think, because this whole damn things too confusing for me."

Yugi explained as a white haired boy came up to them cautiously, Jou unaware of his relationship with Ielan was happy to see the boy, unlike Yugi/Yami who gave him an unyugi like glare. Which his dark side made him return.

"I'm sorry Yugi-kun, but have you seen Ielan?"

Jou looked at him confused, but listened.

"NO! She should be with you."

"She left me with Kaiba, than when I found her she was crying on the floor. I comforted her and she shot up and ran away from me crying our names."

"Wait up! Bakura, how do you know her so well?"

Jou asked confused. Him and Yugi explained that he was her boyfriend then him and Yugi went to find her. Jou got Hiroto, Shizuka, Anzu, Inuyasha and Kaiba to help look for her.

They all searched around for almost an hour not knowing where she was. Jou was walking through the woods when he felt something land on his head, he grabbed for the object, realizing it was a blue bandana. He looked around him, then up in the trees spotting a faint figure hiding up in the hiding branches.

"Kairo-san get down here."

There was no reply from the branches just a faint glow and silence. He was really angry with her, but he needed to get some answers so he decided to climb up after what he suspected was Ielan. After 15 minutes he found himself face to face with a shadowed face except for a glow on her head. He ignored that giving her a scowl.

"What the hell's wrong with you? Your boyfriend shows up and you ignore Yugi. The poor guy has feelings for you."

She was silent except for an occasional sniffle, which she held in trying to hide the noise.

"You hurt him and now you decide to cry over it."

She had, had enough she raised her hand slapping him as she jumped down from the tree. Which was nearly 20 feet in the air. Jou climbed down as fast as he could still holding his reddened cheek as he approached her anger burning in his eyes, even more seeing her damned tears. He went to speak but she stopped him.

"You jerk."

She half laughed.

"You have no idea what the hell I'm going through. I've been crying for a few days straight now. Since I met Yugi, and started to love him. That may make me a bad person to you but right now I don't care I just care what Yugi and Ryou think of me. Ever since I met him, I had this feeling in my soul like there was someone else. I wasn't meant to be with the one I love someone will be in my way, clouding my feelings."

"And you think Yugi's that someone making it hard for you."

He exaggeratedly sneered quite annoyed with her ring around answers. She gave him a threateningly cold glare, which made him uncomfortable, as she spoke.

"Did I say that? I think Ryou could be that thing clouding me from Yugi, my hearts torn between the 2."

Jou's anger slowly evaporated when he heard the sincerity in her voice. He hugged the girl to him forgiving her. Her forehead was glowing once again this time he saw it but said nothing when he saw the sadness in her eyes.

"I think I'm doomed to repeat her fate. Why the hell can't I be freed."

She mumbled confusing Jou. He hugged her comfortingly.

"I've been with Ryou since for as long as I want to remember. But I truly care for Yugi as well."

She told him, he looked down at her uneasily actually forgiving her.

"Hey Kai, I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I'm just looking out for Yugi, we may have thought of you as a friend but if you hurt Yugi we wouldn't forgive you."

Her expression saddened even more at his explanation.

"I think I understand. But I still want to get to know Yugi, maybe if I know him better I can get over this damned feeling of déjà vu."

Jou was confused but did not ask her to elaborate further. He gave her a comforting smile as she let out a deep breath beginning to walk away. He saw that she was heading in the direction of Yugi's shop so he decided to let her go. 15 minutes later Ryou and Yugi both ran up to him asking if he'd seen her. He took a glance behind him before nodding.

"We spoke, she's heading home."

He put emphasis on that last word giving a glance to Bakura. He looked confused and Yugi took off, Bakura slowly following behind.

"How do you know where she is? She's not one for staying indoors."

Bakura spoke Yugi slowed as he caught up.

"I know that she stayed at Kaiba's with us and I found her outside by the pool, and grandpa told me he found her on the balcony sleeping."

Bakura now had a really confused and slightly jealous look on his face. Yugi actually smirked at this as they approached and entered Yugi's grandfather's shop. Bakura looked around still unaware of why they were there.

"Yugi…"

His grandfather said as he approached him and his friend.

"Ielan-chan came back a few minutes ago really upset. She asked me that if you or someone named Bakura Ryou came for her, tell you both to just give her tonight and she'd apologize to both of you tomorrow."

The 2 young men looked at each other, while Yugi's grandfather had gone to bed. Bakura took over when he was denied to see the one person her wanted and decided to give talking to her a try. Yami came out and sat at a table deep in thought, when he saw Bakura come down looking pissed. Yami stood in front of Bakura as he tried to leave muttering swears. Yami looked in his eyes as he spoke.

"Bakura, do you have feelings for this girl?"

He asked the disgruntled tomb robber. He gave him a stern look remaining quiet and Yami just stared at him till he finally spoke.

"Ryou does. I wanted to kill her when she tried to steal from us, but Ryou wanted to help her out."

He said unconvincingly, a blush was very clearly seen on his cheeks. Yami looked at him harder and he finally broke down.

"Fine you bastard, I am in love with her. I fell like I've known her for centuries. Like I loved her."

Yami gave him a curious look.

"I feel the exact same. Like I've known her and fought to have her. But what would this simple girl have that both of us would be attracted to?"

He said going into thought about her once more.

"I feel like I've known her, from back home. There's something about that damned mark on her forehead too."

Yami was now confused and Bakura saw this giving him a smirk.

"She hasn't showed it to you yet, she has something on her forehead, she says it's a birthmark, but it looks like someone branded the damn symbol onto her. It's your goddamned symbol, the one of the millenium items."

Yami was once again surprised remaining in thought letting Bakura leave after he changed back to Ryou. Yami let Yugi back into his own body, heading to his room. He took a moment as he walked by Ielan's room holding his hand to the door more worried than jealous. He was about to go into his room when a soft voice whimpering for him. He slowly opened her door looking in not seeing her. But he noticed her window was open and decided to check, making sure she was still there. She was sitting on her little balcony with her knees clutched to her tightly, tears streaking her cheeks. Yugi went to wipe them away but she jerked away shaking her head.

"Yugi-san I deserve this. It's my fault I'm in pain, it's my fault I've hurt you. I truly do care about you, even love you, but… I am with Ryou, he's the first person I ever loved. I don't know what to do…"

She said sighing deeply going into thought once more with Yugi leaning against the windowsill.

"It's kind of funny. When I was young some psychic woman grabbed me in the street and was just staring at me. I tried to get away but she just kept staring… she waved her hand in front of my face and something happened, I'm still not really sure what but her face turned into this creepy smile as she spoke to me. She told me I'm a reincarnation. A barely known adopted daughter to some pharaoh in ancient Egypt."

She said drifting off back into thought. This grabbed both Yugi and Yami's attention as he urged her to continue.

"That's really how I got it. It wasn't a birthmark, she did it to me."

She said as she turned towards him lifting her bangs to show him the mark in the middle of her forehead. He looked at it closely noticing that it does in fact look like the mark that appears on Yami's forehead sometimes.

"Ielan, can my other half talk to you?"

She looked at him nervously but gave him a nod. Yugi closed his eyes and when they opened again they were the serious eyes that belonged to none other than Yami. He looked at the girl closer like her identity was on the edge of his mind, but was still eluding him.

"Kairo-san, do I look at all familiar to you?"

She looked at him closely but shrugged.

"Kind of but it could just be that you look like Yugi."

She told him. He gave her a thoughtful look.

"Do you think sometime you could tell me the story that the fortune teller told you."

She nodded turning back to the outside, Yami left the girl alone turning back into Yugi. He changed into his pajamas the whole time deep in thought. He was finally able to lie down and relax but Ielan was still on his mind but more Yami's. Yugi knew that he was deep in thought, getting curious as to why. But Yami spoke before he decided to question him.

"Yugi did I ever tell you of my family?"

Yugi thought for a moment shaking his head and it was silent once more. Yugi was finally asleep for the night, while both Ielan and Yami on the other hand were wide-awake in thought.

Early the next morning Ielan left the window exhausted, from not being able to fall asleep the previous night. She put on a new pink skirt that she had bought along with a silver T-shirt, and hurrying downstairs. She found Yugi's grand-pa making breakfast but didn't bother him turning to walk out of the building till he spoke to her.

"Young lady I'm not going to ask you why you're angry with my grandson, it's not my place, but don't doubt him, or that other young man. They both seem to care for you. Now with that said where are you off to so early in the morning?"

She looked back uneasily.

"I wanted to walk to school by myself, and think. I can't face Yugi yet, he's still upset with me and I don't blame him one bit. And not to sound rude but I'm not angry with Yugi, I couldn't be."

She said as she gave him a wave turning to walk outside before he could say anymore. It was still a little dark but the sun was shining on her faintly as she made her way quietly down the street. She was at her new school 15 minutes later. She actually found the main office and got her schedule walking around lost. She noticed a few students had arrived and were staring at her but she ignored the looks concentrating on her schedule. She ignored her search for room 206 her thoughts drifting back to Ryou. She happened to glance up and to her surprise she was in front of the room she was looking for. She walked in quietly trying to ignore the few people that were sitting, but she heard a voice yell for her. She turned to see Hiroto approaching her; she gave him a guilty look as she looked away from him.

"Hey Kai…"

He said in a happy tone, she didn't feel harshness in his voice like Jou. She looked back at him to see him giving her a worried look.

"Yugi didn't mention that you'd be attending school with us."

"He didn't know I asked Moto-sama not to tell him. I wanted to surprise him, but Ryou came back. So I guess it doesn't matter."

Hiroto gave her a knowing look patting her shoulder.

"When Kaiba, then Jou first told us we were mad at you for treating Yug like that. But Jou explained things to us more afterwards. We understand."

She looked away still feeling like a horrible person.

"Is Anzu mad as well? I wouldn't blame her. I love my boyfriend but I care for Yugi too. I hope he'll still be friends with me, if I chose to keep seeing Ryou."

She mumbled more to herself. Hiroto was chuckling a little but she ignored him turning back into her thoughts.

"I will always be with you."

A soft voice spoke behind her startling her. She turned around to see none other than Yugi. She let out a slight shocked noise as he grabbed her wrist sitting her in the seat next to him.

"Ryou's in here too, he sits there."

He said pointing to the empty seat next to her. He gave her a stern look and she knew he was asking why he didn't know about school. She let out a nervous giggle dropping her head to her desk till she felt a gentle hand on her opposite shoulder, she looked over to Yugi who was intentionally looking away from her. She was confused till she looked over her shoulder and saw Ryou's face only centimeters from her own. She jumped slightly but took a deep breath sitting up watching him as he took his seat next to her with his sweet smile.

"Ielan I've missed you so much. The last 3 times I've gone to Egypt I couldn't find you, and your nurse said you had just vanished."

He said as he held her hand. Female on lookers were shooting her evil looks but she really didn't care. 'When he's here with me like this it makes me feel like he's the one I want. There's a strange additional feeling I get from Yugi that almost makes me feel hurt.' She thought in her mind when Ryou let go of her hand and their teacher walked into the room.

"Class is there a Kairo M. Ielan here?"

He asked. She stood and he greeted her telling her she could stay in that seat, since it was usually empty. That's when the loudspeaker spoke.

"Hello I'd like to welcome everyone back to Domino High School."

A voice spoke, then it was silent for a long minute.

"How do I live without you? I'll never know how do I live with out you if you ever go? How could I ever, ever survive. Oh how do I, oh how do live. I love Bakura you need to know. I really love him I hope he knows."

A horrible voice sang over the intercom, till it was cut off. It was silent for a minute before everyone started laughing hysterically except Ryou, and Ielan. Jou was on the floor, he was laughing so hard. Soon the teacher got everyone under control when the bell rang. A small group all walked out of the room still laughing Bakura was with them but lingered behind. They met up with Anzu and Shizuka, Anzu gave Ielan a forgiving smile, as did Shizuka.

Ielan and the others figured out what classes, Anzu, Hiroto, Yugi, Jou and Ielan all walked toward the English room. Ryou still lingered behind but Ielan turned to him grabbing his hand as they walked together. The teacher said she could choose where she sat in any of the empty desks there were 4 and she chose to sit with Inuyasha. She really didn't feel like having to chose between the 2, and there was no where to sit by Jou. Miho was in the class also and Jou decided to use Ielan's relationship to his advantage to torture Miho. The class went by quickly, next was math she was again with Ryou and sat with him Shizuka, and Kaiba. The class was boring, especially for Ielan, she was incredible smart and already knew everything he was teaching. It was already lunchtime and everyone was together. Lunch was especially awkward. Yugi and Ryou were social with each other, but Ielan stuck with Inuyasha, Kagome, Syaoran and Asuka to not make things harder for them than it was.

Also she was feeling faint but she refused to let herself pass out. She felt a voice in her mind talking to her but she added it all up to not getting any sleep. She made it through the rest of her day without giving into her want to fall asleep till she was on her way home, she was walking with Yugi, Jou, Hiroto, Shizuka, and Anzu. For some reason Jou had been very nervous and insisted that he had to go to his house and couldn't go to the shop with everyone else, but Shizuka told him he had to come and he gave in. He was in front till he stopped causing Ielan to walk into him, but still falling to the ground, he gave her a worried look as he picked her up but soon returned his gaze to Anzu.

"Anzu…I need to tell you something. For a while now I've liked you. I know you don't like me in return but I just wanted you to know that."

He said as he ran off nervously. Everyone was in sock except for Ielan who was falling to the ground giving into her urge to pass out.
