OF DOOM!!!
It was about eight in the morning at Domino Highschool, rain was pouring outside, hitting the pavement and roof noisily. In the schoolyard, with her head down and arms wrapped around herself, a girl was hurriedly walking towards the lobby doors. She kept her eyes on the ground as she walked, something her Yami had taught, no, trained her to do. Even though her Yami was at home, a few blocks away, she was afraid that Kaliandra would somehow find out if she did anything she wasn't trained to do. School was like an escape from the Hell she called home, where she was both verbally and physically abused for little trifles that no one would ever think about beating someone for. But Kaliandra didn't care, everything about this weak little girl pissed her off, and she deserved to be beaten for everything she did, whether it was right or wrong. Kali finally reached the entrance of the school, pushing her drenched body against the doors and walking into the lobby. She shivered, Kaliandra didn't let her wear a coat so her clothes were all wet.
"You need to learn how to be strong! You're such a weak little pussy! You aren't wearing a coat, a little rain won't hurt you at all!" were her words as she threw her outside onto the stairs. Kali had landed on her knee and elbow, scraping both badly so they were still bleeding. Her school uniform was a little messy and wet, well, drenched, but she wrung it out as best as she could and wiped her eyes, she didn't realize she was still crying. She looked around frantically, finding the bathroom and running into it. It was empty, and Kali was glad. She didn't want anyone to see her like this, or at all, really. She gazed sadly at herself in the mirror, her icy blue eyes rather dull at the moment, her silvery hair lay limp on either side of her face. The words ' wet rat ' came to her mind as she looked away from her face and down to examine her arm. She pulled the sleeve up and winced when the cloth rubbed against her open elbow, it had bled pretty badly, and looked repulsive. The rest of her pale skin was dotted with bruises and healing sores from her daily beatings. Kali noticed the weight of her Millenium Ring around her neck and took it into her hands, staring at the beautiful gold with ancient engravings carved into it. She cursed the day she ever got it for her thirteenth birthday and became victim and slave to Kaliandra, she had been forced to grow away from her few friends and move away to Greenburrow City. Thinking of her friends caused a few more tears to appear at her eyes, even if she was back at their school, she was sure they had forgotten about her.
Kali lifted her skirt a bit and looked at her skinny pale legs. They were also bruised and scarred, and her knee had dripped blood down to her ankle. She reached up and took some paper towel, wetting it in the sink and wiping the dried blood trail on her leg. When she stood up straight, she saw that someone was standing there, watching her silently. Kali froze like a deer in headlights, she wanted to scream for help but knew it wouldn't do any good. Kaliandra slowly approached her little light, Kali backed away until she was up against the tiled wall, her eyes pleaded with her Yami's.
"Kaliandra... please... no... not here... I've been good!!!" Kali almost screamed as her Yami took her by the arm and threw her against the frame of one of the stalls. Her back burned where it had impacted with the hard metal and she fell to the floor.
"Oh, please! You've been good!?! You're hiding in the bathroom at your school! Hiding shows me nothing but weakness!" Kaliandra shouted, kicking Kali in stomach. Kali coughed and painfully gasped for breath, closing her eyes and waiting for the next blow. But it never came, she opened her eyes and saw Kaliandra exiting the bathroom, pushing past a brown haired girl. Kali immediately recognized the girl as Tea Gardner, one of her best friends before she moved. Tea rushed to Kali's side and forced her to sit up.
"Kali??? Is it really you??? What happened???" Tea asked, a look of complete shock on her face. Kali groaned and shakily stood up, holding onto the frame of the stall so she wouldn't fall down.
"Hi Tea... long time no see, huh?" she smiled weakly, noticing that the Millenium Ring wasn't around her neck anymore, she sighed in relief, she didn't want anyone to know that she possessed one of the Millenium items. Kali was basically dry by then, and only looked a little, well, beat up. Someone hit the door with their fist a few times and yelled,
"Tea! What are ya doin'?!?! We just saw this girl that looked almost exactly like Kali!!!" the voice was that belonging to a male, Joey Wheeler to be exact. Kali's eyes perked up and she smiled, Joey was her best friend before she moved. She forgot about her Yami and everything else and came bursting out of the bathroom, throwing her arms around him and hugging him. He was taken by surprise and Tristan jumped forward, catching Joey before he fell down.
"Kali?!?!" he shouted, looking down at the now shy face of his lost friend. He hugged her again, and had to be calmed down by Tea.
"Wow, that girl looked just like you! Do ya know her?" Joey asked, running a hand through his golden hair. She bit her lip and nodded, sighing.
"Yes, she's... a relative..." Kali answered, trying to sound convincing. The others nodded, looking down the hall at two boys, running towards them. She recognized her short friend, Yugi, but had never seen the other boy before. He had a thin, almost girlish frame, and whitish hair almost like hers that fell down beside and into his face. Both boys skidded to a stop, the strange boy leaned over, resting his hands on his knees and catching his breath. Yugi looked at Kali and smiled, his eyes shimmering.
"Kali??? I haven't seen you in a long time!" he exclaimed, grinning. The other boy stood up straight, Tea smacked her forehead and laughed.
"I completely forgot, Kali, you never met Bakura! He was transferred here last year, right after you left! Bakura, this is our friend Kali!" she introduced the two, Bakura shyly held out his hand, she meekly placed her hand in his and they shook.
"It's nice to meet you." he said, smiling. Kali nodded, smiling timidly. His hand was warm and her skin tingled where they touched as their handshake ended. Bakura glanced down at her arm, which was still bare from when she was looking at it, and saw the bruises and scars. He didn't say anything and followed the lot of them as they headed to their second class, walking behind them all slowly. He pulled up his sleeve and looked at his own bruises, which he received daily from his Yami.
Kali reached the roof of the school and gazed at the horizon, wind whipped her hair around her shoulders. The sun was already half set and the sky was bright orange, reflecting off of everything in a beautiful mirror- like way. She walked to the edge and hung onto the fence that closed in the whole roof with her fingers and leaned against it, looking down at some of the students that stayed afterschool. Once her friends had left, she changed into the clothes that Tea had lent her, gym clothes that included a short sleeved shirt. She didn't want them to see her arms, or legs, so she waited until she was alone to change.
"Kali?" a timid sounding voice called, she turned her head to look back at Bakura and panicked. She had the Millenium Ring around her neck and tried to hide it, but it was too late, he had already seen it. Kali's jaw dropped when she saw a similar ring around his neck, but she fixed her face to a fake smile and turned all the way around.
"Um. Hi." she stuttered as he approached her, the wind causing his hair to whip around his face wildly. She tried to hide her arms and legs from his view, but failed, he took her wrist and turned her arm so they both could see the injuries.
"You have a Yami too, don't you, Kali." Bakura spoke softly, she looked into his big brown eyes.
"Wh.. what are you talking about?" He took her Ring in his delicate hand and his own in the other, comparing them.
"You also have a Millenium Ring, and... these..." Bakura dropped the Rings and pulled up his sleeve, exposing similar wounds. Kali gasped and frowned.
"A Yami beats you... but Bakura... you shouldn't be beaten! I mean.. um..." she blushed, looking down at the ground. He looked out at the horizon, appearing to be deep in thought.
"I've been thinking... you're just like me... like a girl version of me.... it's odd. Quite odd." he mumbled, then they both jumped when the clock tower struck 5.
"Oh no! I'm late!" they said in unison, only pausing to stare at each other for a moment before running down to the first floor of the school and out the front doors.
Ok, that's it for now. Woo. This is just something I thought up a little while ago. I'm just posting it so all you foolish mortals can see it. Haha!
