Chapter 1
"Leave me alone!"
"Get away from her!"
"Mokuba, make them stop!"
A group of kids were pulling her tail and ears. She screamed everytime.
"How can they hurt if they're not real?"
She looked for a way to get out of this. She was nearly in tears and she hated crying. It was a sign of weakness.
"Come on, leave her be!"
"Stay out of this rich boy!"
Seto walked up to Mokuba.
"Where's Kael?"
"In the mob of kids over there!"
Seto growled and pulled the kids off, one by one. He helped Kael and stood in front of her.
"What's the deal with hurting my sister?"
"Her ears and tail aren't real!"
Seto punched the boy in charge and pushed Kael to the area where he and his friends sat. Three other occurrences like Kael had happened a few years back. A pink haired, blue-eyed girl had appeared at Ryou Bakura's house. She was the Blue Eyes Pink Toon Dragon. At the Ishtar residence in Egypt, in Marik's room, a blue haired girl with green eyes appeared. She was the Blue Eyes Ultimate Shadow Dragon. Also at Joey Wheeler's house, a red-eyed girl with orange hair had appeared. She claimed to be the Red Eyes Orange Dragon. Kael snorted and nibbled her sandwich. Her body still hurt and it was highly uncomfortable sitting on cement. Seto hugged her and smiled. Kael sensed two of the other dragons were near. Kael stood up and sniffed the air. She sighed and looked down.
"Do we get to do any sword skill subjects?"
"Yes. Mokuba will teach you about Kendo."
"Cool. I'm not sure if the other students will beat me though."
The years in school flew by. Kael was fourteen. Even though she was in Mokuba's class, she was a year older. She walked to the Turtle Card Shop and breathed deeply. She had to do this. She walked in and up to the counter. She rung the bell and noticed Yugi in the back room. Yugi's grandfather came running and smiled.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes. Can you give the to Yugi?"
She handed him an envelope.
"Yugi, a guest for you!"
When he turned around, she was gone.
"Who is it?"
"No one."
He walked to Yugi and handed him the envelope. Yugi opened it and read the letter.
Dear Yugi Motou,
You may not know or even heard of me. I am Kael. I want to duel you in vengance for my brother. If you dare come, this will be a duel to dwarf all others. Come to Kaiba world at 6:30 pm Friday night. I warn you, be well prepared."
Regards,
Kael
"Kaiba world is closed then though…"
"Are you going Yugi?"
"I have to find out who she is."
Kael looked around the street and relaxed. She continued to walk. She walked into someone that looked somewhat familiar and fell back. She growled at the blood pouring down her arm and jumped to her feet. A sharp piece of metal had pierced the soft skin of her mortal form.
"You're Duke Devlin, aren't you?"
"Yes I am. What is it to you?"
He looked her over and blinked. She knew what he was going to say.
"Yes, they are real. My name is Kael, Kael Kaiba."
Devlin blinked and laughed.
"The Kaibas's have no sister."
She smirked at his stupidity. She pulled out her deck and revealed one of the three Blue Eyes. The Kaiba Trademark. He stopped laughing almost instantly. She walked past him, holding her arm.
"Hey Kael! Want to go out some time?"
"Why would you want to go out with me? I'm not normal."
"You look decent enough."
She stopped and he moved closer. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"What would you do?"
"How about dinner?"
"Ok. After my duel on Friday."
"Who are you duelling?"
"Do you need to ask?"
"Yugi…"
She nodded and cringed at his soft touch. He moved in front of her and kissed her. She blinked and relaxed. She broke away and almost collapsed. He looked at her arm and ripped his shirt. He wrapped it around the wound and she hugged him, before passing out. He picked her up and took her to the Kaiba mansion. Seto hated anyone that was friends with Yugi. He looked at her arm and took her to bed. Devlin wrote a letter and handed it to Seto.
"Please give that to her."
"Fine."
"Goodbye Kaiba."
Seto sneered and closed the front door on him. Kael walked out and blinked. Seto threw the letter to her.
"What's your problem?"
"I don't take kindly to Yugi's friends. You, of all people should know that."
"Devlin is one of Yugi's friends?"
"Yes!"
She looked down and went back to bed. She opened the letter. She laid on her back and turned on the lamp.
Hey Kael,
I hope you will be well enough on Friday. I will come to watch your duel, if it's ok with you. Well, have a good rest and I'll see you when I do.
See you later,
Duke Devlin
Kael put the letter in her drawer. She rubbed her arm and turned to her side, clung to a pillow and fell asleep. In all the dragons' dreams, they saw complete darkness. When light appeared, blood was everywhere. Kael woke up in a cold sweat and sat up. She got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. She took a sip and blinked. She dropped the glass, falling to her knees and held her head. Mokuba ran to her side. A symbol written in an ancient language burned into her forehead. Blood trickled down her face.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, just peachy."
She stood up and wiped her face. He moved to the cupboard and got the cleansing alcohol. He dabbed it on the scar and smiled. It glowed ever so faintly. She hugged him and walked outside, onto the balcony. She sat on the rail and looked at the moon. Mokuba knew better than to interrupt her. She stayed until it was dawn. She walked back to her room and had a shower. She left early without eating breakfast and went to Solomon Motou's shop. She walked up to the counter and looked at the decks. She noticed Yugi watching her and turned away. She rubbed her arm and turned back around. Yugi was right behind her. She jumped in fright and noticed he was a foot taller than normal. She inched backwards into a wall.
"You are not a human. I sense evil from you."
"Who are you to accuse me?"
"My name is Yami. I am a Pharaoh from ancient Egypt."
"Well Yami, I came to buy some booster packs."
"What would you like?"
Yami still didn't like her, but Yugi said he had to be nice.
"If it's not to much trouble, four Legend of Blue Eyes."
Yami blinked at her request. She was a lot like Kaiba, yet she was nothing like either Kaiba brother in looks.
