Unfinished Symphony

Disclaimer: No I do NOT again own Yu-Gi-Oh. I do however own the third box set; sadly I can't see it for TWO WEEKS!!!!!! My stupid TV had to break and I have to wait for two weeks to fix it. *Kicks broken TV for billionth time* What I also own is the poem 'Blue Roses in the Wind', I created it, so don't copy it without my permission. Sorry for a late chapter, I had a case of writer's block and being pissed off at people. I am also working on another story about my favourite duel monster card (also God), Obelisk. It fascinated me when I first saw it and I wanted to make up a story about the legend (there is no actual legend of Obelisk, just to let you know. Obelisk is actually a monument not an Egyptian God). Sorry if this chapter confuses you more, I'll try to get out the meaning of everything next chapter (hopefully), I just needed one more dramatic chapter to tie some loose ends.
Little note: I seem to have trouble formatting my poems. It will not space them out properly, so bear with me please. It seems the Fanfiction.net had forgotten my fourth chapter so people I hope you were not confused; because it was updated they just did not show the chapter.

Chapter IV: Blue Roses in the Wind
Nikko looked at her alarm clock to find it was 7:30. How could it be? Wasn't she just in the Kaiba estate hugging a mournful Mokuba? It didn't make any sense how she could of ended up some place different; maybe it wasn't real. Still she couldn't get the horrifying memory out her mind. Casually she started getting dressed in her uniform still wondering if she was still in a dream or was it reality? Still not understanding the difference in the two.
Making her way down the stairs slowly to find her mother in the living room as she called out her name. Nikko continued to walk slowly as she progressed her way to where her mother called.
Her mother spoke, "Nikko, are you feeling up to going back to school today?"
Nikko nodded slowly. Her mother continued, "Your sure? You had a real scare yesterday, it would be ok if you stayed home today."
Nikko shook her head again and replied, "No, I'm fine! Really!"
Her mother nodded her head in acknowledgement as Nikko walked away towards the door, putting her shoes on and grabbing her bag as she left. She walked down the road slowly thinking about her car. She stopped suddenly as it came upon her with a wave of shock.
Slowly she spoke out, "Didn't I just have the exact conversation with my mother? Unless-?"
Shaking her head no, it was just a coincidence, but why was she saying and thinking the same things. She asked herself again, was it a dream? Or real? Did it ever happen? Running down the street as tears streamed down her face, she didn't know what was real, and one thing she did know was getting to school quickly was of first priority. It couldn't happen again she didn't want it to, but how could it be any different?
Nikko made it to the school in good enough time to make it to class; she noticed however that people were looking at her. She realized it must have been because of yesterday, or was it the yesterday after? All she knew was they looked liked the same people that had looked at her before. Didn't they realize that they were repeating an action already done or was it ever done?
Quickly she made her way toward the locker as she put her jacket away and made her way to class. She entered the room quietly making her way to her desk with eyes still on her, she had felt this before and it didn't feel any different. Why don't they stop? Stop doing the same things.
Sumoji-sensei entered the room as everyone made their way back to their desks. He scanned the room as he made the usual role call. Nikko felt sick she knew what was to come next but she didn't want to hear it, she didn't want to acknowledge it, it wasn't real, it had to be some nightmare.
Then she heard it the name that she dreaded to hear as the teacher called the named 'Kaiba' out. She prayed for a moment to hear another voice, that one voice which would end her suffering. Sadly she head nothing, all she heard was the teacher call out the name again. Maybe he was late? Maybe he would come into the room with his usual non-caring manner. Her heart tortured her with the thoughts of her mind in turmoil.
Her thoughts snapped out of tune for a moment at the sound of her own name being called by the teacher. The event that took place after she heard her name was of none she had expected herself to do.
Getting up from her desk and said plainly out, "Matahiro Nikko. I don't feel too well, I must be excused."
Running out of the classroom and made her way towards her locker and grabbed her jacket, and started to leave the building. One thing now pressed her mind what would change now? Everything before moved like clockwork but now that she left school she had changed it, but that did not change one thing that wandered her mind. Did she have her phone on her?
She stopped walking as she looked into her bag and shuffled the things around in it, her hand grabbed on to something. Slowly she took out the slender phone, which now laid in the tight grip of her hands.
"No. It can't!" She whispered to herself, while her hand trembled still clutching tightly onto the phone
Not knowing what to think, as she knew events were talking place as they had happened before, with some exceptions. Then she knew, she knew what might happen and she had to know for sure that it wasn't going to happen, quickly making her way down the road determined to find the Kaiba estate.
"Now where is it? I don't know that address." Speaking quietly as she looked at her phone and shook her head, as she spoke again, "Phoning the operator won't help, they would never give me Seto's address."
Trying to think of a way to get his address she knew it was hopeless, then she realized even though she didn't know the address she knew the name of a street where most of the estates of the city reside, and she did know also what the house look like.
Nodding her head as she continued to walk, as she spoke to make her confidence better, "Yes the street might be on Sunadokei, and also it's a Greco-Roman style estate; no one can miss it."
Smiling though her sorrows and trying to comfort her courage which was wrack with fear, as she turned down the street that would lead her to another one; the one which would take her to the Kaiba estate and end the horrible ending of her nightmare; a black nightmare that would change the color of destiny to tinges of red.
Down the road she walks not knowing what each minute holds for her. She takes each step carefully as if slowing down time will help calm her tortured mind. Emerald eyes under wire frames look up at a house as the eye within the frames grow wider.
Here she was finally at the Kaiba estate in all of its neo-classical splendour. She still looks in awe as she enters the already opened gate and mumbles, "Just like in my dream."
Nikko makes her way down to the entrance of the estate, this time no maid opened it when she stood at the door. Looking to the side of the door she sees a buzzer and presses it once and gently takes a breath waiting for anything to happen.
The door opens as a lady in a white uniform address' Nikko, "Hello, how may I help you?"
Nikko's eyes glare down at her feet for a second not sure of what to say, as she tilts her head up and answers calmly, "I'm here to speak with Kaiba Seto."
The maid looked at her and replied quickly, "Kaiba-sama is not up to seeing visitors today. If you leave me your name I'm sure to tell him so you can see him later. Now is not a good time."
Nikko shook her head knowing deep inside of her that later might be too late; she spoke back, "No it's not alright. I have to see him now, it's very important."
The maid stood their for a moment not sure of what to say back, but she stood firm and to her ground as she said firmly, "I am sorry again, but Kaiba-sama is not up to having visitors."
A voice in the background comes up behind from the maid with clear sounding tone, "Who said I could not have any visitors?"
Kaiba Seto, wearing a black long sleeve shirt and black paints stood behind the maid as she turns around lowering her head, she quietly says, "I'm sorry Kaiba-sama. I just thought with you not feeling well you wouldn't feel like visitors."
Kaiba nodded at the maid and said, "That's fine, just go back to your work."
The maid bows as she leaves with not another word, knowing that she had escaped from his anger. Kaiba's attention turns to the door as he sees a young woman standing in it; he whispers, "Nikko."
He walks up to the door and inquires to her, "What are you doing here?"
Nikko asks calmly, "Please let me in and I will tell you."
Nodding Kaiba lets her in, as he notices that she's wearing the traditional Domino school uniform. He inquires another question, "Why are you not at school?"
With a smile Nikko answers back, "I have the same question about you."
They walk down the hallway quietly without a word as they reach the staircase, Nikko looks up at it not wanting to think about climbing it. Kaiba looks at her and notices that she is looking up the staircase. He calmly breaks the silence, "Would you like to go into the Palm room?"
Nikko looks at him with a strange look on her face, "The Palm room? What's a Palm room?"
With a smirk on Kaiba's face he gently brushes his bangs as he answers, "It's a room where I use to relax in, it also helps me to think a bit better and it has palm trees and tropical plants."
She nodded in response as they walked up the staircase to the east wing of the house avoiding the west wing of it. They make their way down a hall as Nikko's thoughts wander; I'm not feeling too good being in here, this place looks too much like the dream.
Kaiba stops shortly at a small mahogany door as he turns a green glass knob opening it, as they enter Nikko breaths in the smell of tropical plaints. Kaiba walks over to the center of the room and sits on a wicker chair and gestures Nikko to sit down on one as well. Sitting down she notices how pleasant the room is with all the beautiful tropical trees and plants, also with how the wall is lined with green wall paper adding to the theme of the room. She sits down on a wicker chair close to Kaiba as she sees a table with a glass top on it, thinking of how beautiful it must feel to hide away in this room from a very rough day. Surprised, as she is to find that there is no desk in the room, this must be a place to get away from the hardships of the day, and she also noticed a small shelf of books in one corner of the room.
While she takes her jacket off she notices one of the books on the table, carefully picks it up and looks at the title while she speaks, "It's in English! The Lo-Lost World, Sir Artur, what?"
Kaiba smirked as he replied, "The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's a fairly interesting book you should read it."
Looking at the book still as she nodded and flipped it open, she looked at the pages trying to understand it, then closing it with a sigh, "I can't understand it, I really don't understand English very well, I only know what I have learned in class. I didn't know you could read it."
He chuckles a bit as he answers back to her, "Yes and I can speak it as well. You have to know English if you are going to have a successful company, even if they are an arrogant culture we all have to have good relations otherwise a company would never make it. A big fish cannot survive in a small pond, especially if it expects to live long."
The same maid she met earlier enters the room as she bows and speaks, "May I get you something?"
Kaiba nodded his head and replied, "Yes, some Green tea would be nice."
The maid bows again as she leaves and Nikko turns her head around and asks Kaiba, "You like Green tea?"
Kaiba coughs a bit before he speaks, "Yeah, I usually have it when I'm sick. It's more easier on you throat than coffee is."
Peering at him she asks another question, "If your sick then why are you not in bed."
He clears he throat as he answers, "My, my busy little bee are we not?"
She looks at him annoyed, "Just tell me."
Nodding he answers, "Well I'm not coughing up any lungs here as I was earlier and since I'm feeling better I just decided to just spend my time around the estate, It's big enough. Does that answer you question miss journalist?"
Glaring ruefully she responds back, "Don't patronize me for what I'm here about is concerning you?"
He glares back deciding to play a little game with her as well, "Now pray thee do tell me, for if it's concerning of me I have the right to know."
Turning her head around as she wonders why she's really hear if all she'll get out of him is little word games. She sulks a bit as the maid enters the room with a silver service tray holding a silver tea pot with two porcelain tea cups, setting it down quietly the maid leaves the room.
Kaiba and Nikko both take a cup as they each take turns pouring a bit a tea out of the pot, crisply Kaiba breaks the silence that is between them, "Ok, you can tell me what you need to say, if you tell me something first."
Nikko takes a sip of the tea, as she looks at him and questioned, "What is that?"
He takes a sip of the tea as well before answering her question, "You need to tell me what happen at school yesterday."
Nikko's eyes widen as she quivered, she knew she couldn't answer a question like that; she didn't even prepare an answer for him. He glared at her seriously waiting for her answer as she felt the perspiration on her head, her stomach turned flips. Quickly she got up from the seat.
She whispers the words, "I can't, sorry."
Kaiba looked at her wondering what was going on as he saw her getting up; he got up as well and tries to reach her. His arm reaches out as he touches her shoulder; she takes a step closer to him, while he wraps his arms around her closely. Nikko laid her head on his chest as tears streamed from her eyes.
Calmly he soothes her, "It's ok, and you're all right."
Nikko nods gently as she speaks quietly, "Blue roses blow gently in the wind, Telling a story of yesterday, Forever was the youth they had, When eternity was beginning, When I was with you.
Roses bloom gently in the field, Spreading down the path of tomorrow, Remember of yesterday, What love I held, What memories you feel.
Petals gracefully drop to the ground, Echoing with a sweet smell, Telling me of tomorrow, Where you will be, Where you will remember of me.
Roses that grew yesterday and die tomorrow, Eternity endures as long as they bloom, Reminded I am of yesterday, With you in tomorrow, Will you remember of me today?
With Blue Roses in the wind"
Kaiba loosens her from his embrace as he looks at her with shock with his mouth quivering trying to speak, "How-how do you know that poem?"
Nikko looks at him with a raised eyebrow answering back quietly, "What are you talking about? What poem?"
Sternly he looks her responding loudly back, "What poem? The poem you just said, 'Blue Roses in the Wind'!"
She took a step away from him and wondered what was he talking about, "I've never heard of that poem and I never said it. Please stop playing games."
His voice grew temperamental, "I can tell you I am not playing no games, now tell me how do you know that poem?"
Tears streamed again out of her eyes as she shook her head in fear of what would happen if she again denied him an answer. Nikko's thoughts travel again to what did he mean, for she did not remember even saying a poem and she knew of no poem with Blue Roses. All she was afraid of his response, as she knows he will never take any answers she provides.
Fiery sapphire eyes pierces though frighten emerald ones as he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes for a second. Opening up his eyes again in a calm demanding voice he states, "Get out of my house."
Looking in fear she grabs enough courage left inside of her to answer back, "Why?"
Refusing to look at her he points to the door, "There's the door you know your way out, I have work to do."
At that last remark she is again reminded of why she was there as she spoke up, "Please at least let me tell you what I have to say."
He coughs while shaking his head, "I think you already said enough to me, go."
Walking to the door she opens it and steps out, as she walks down the hallway slowly stopping hearing him leave the room shortly after. She sees him walk pass heading down to the west wing. She knew she had to say something even if he didn't listen.
She calls out loudly, "Kaiba wait!"
He stops and answers not bothering to look at her, "What? Did you forget your way out already?"
Taking a breath for courage she calls out again, "I must tell you that you shouldn't go into your office today, something will happen."
Slowly he turns around and asks, "Like what?"
Shaking her head replying back, "Please don't let me tell you, it cannot be told."
Smirking back at her calmly talking, "Well then I guess I cannot take you advice. I can't fear what I don't know."
He turns around leaving her speechless not knowing how to stop him from walking the path that might lead to a fate full end. Reaching the west wing he wonders why she is so afraid of him going into his office and of how, how did she know of that poem 'Blue Roses in the Wind'?
Stopping at the large wooden oak doors and gently puts his hand on the clear glass knob turning it slowly. Opening the door to a crack as he stops and puts his head down on it thinking that he might have been too cruel to Nikko and wishing that he had handled it better, but as always pride gets in his way. He feels the pounding of his head as he closes the door.
Turing away from the door he replies quietly to himself, "God, my head hurts, I guess I still must be sick. Damn you Nikko."
He storms away from his office back down the hallway and walking back towards the Palm room. Leaving the door that would spell his fate to an end and walking towards a new road which of answers are still left unclear.
Approaching the room his eyes shadow over with a haunting look as he wonders what was she so afraid of? How did she know of that poem? No one could of known it, not anyone. He turns the clear green doorknob as he says a few lines from the poem, "Reminded I am of yesterday, with you in tomorrow, will you remember of me today? With Blue Roses in the wind" He slowly enters the room and closes the door.
To be continued.

Authors Note: So how was this chapter?? Sorry it took so long, had a lot of things on my mind. My second 8-page chapter I'm starting to like it. Also has anyone here heard the new Yu-Gi-Oh theme Warriors? It's really good, I like the beginning of it, it's a nice tune down after a fast pace song like Wild Drive. Especially when the show is getting into the memory arc, it needs a song that will suit it. Well next chapter I hope will not be as late and it will have more of Seto's thoughts. I feel like I'm ignoring him a bit, but I need to get out to this point before I started getting into him. Poor Nikko needs a rest for the next chapter.

Calmly he soothes her, "It's ok, and you're all right."
Nikko nods gently as she speaks quietly, "Blue roses blow gently in the wind, Telling a story of yesterday, Forever was the youth they had, When eternity was beginning, When I was with you.
Roses bloom gently in the field, Spreading down the path of tomorrow, Remember of yesterday, What love I held, What memories you feel.
Petals gracefully drop to the ground, Echoing with a sweet smell, Telling me of tomorrow, Where you will be, Where you will remember of me.
Roses that grew yesterday and die tomorrow, Eternity endures as long as they bloom, Reminded I am of yesterday, With you in tomorrow, Will you remember of me today?
With Blue Roses in the wind"
Kaiba loosens her from his embrace as he looks at her with shock with his mouth quivering trying to speak, "How-how do you know that poem?"
Nikko looks at him with a raised eyebrow answering back quietly, "What are you talking about? What poem?"
Sternly he looks her responding loudly back, "What poem? The poem you just said, 'Blue Roses in the Wind'!"
She took a step away from him and wondered what was he talking about, "I've never heard of that poem and I never said it. Please stop playing games."
His voice grew temperamental, "I can tell you I am not playing no games, now tell me how do you know that poem?"
Tears streamed again out of her eyes as she shook her head in fear of what would happen if she again denied him an answer. Nikko's thoughts travel again to what did he mean, for she did not remember even saying a poem and she knew of no poem with Blue Roses. All she was afraid of his response, as she knows he will never take any answers she provides.
Fiery sapphire eyes pierces though frighten emerald ones as he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes for a second. Opening up his eyes again in a calm demanding voice he states, "Get out of my house."
Looking in fear she grabs enough courage left inside of her to answer back, "Why?"
Refusing to look at her he points to the door, "There's the door you know your way out, I have work to do."
At that last remark she is again reminded of why she was there as she spoke up, "Please at least let me tell you what I have to say."
He coughs while shaking his head, "I think you already said enough to me, go."
Walking to the door she opens it and steps out, as she walks down the hallway slowly stopping hearing him leave the room shortly after. She sees him walk pass heading down to the west wing. She knew she had to say something even if he didn't listen.
She calls out loudly, "Kaiba wait!"
He stops and answers not bothering to look at her, "What? Did you forget your way out already?"
Taking a breath for courage she calls out again, "I must tell you that you shouldn't go into your office today, something will happen."
Slowly he turns around and asks, "Like what?"
Shaking her head replying back, "Please don't let me tell you, it cannot be told."
Smirking back at her calmly talking, "Well then I guess I cannot take you advice. I can't fear what I don't know."
He turns around leaving her speechless not knowing how to stop him from walking the path that might lead to a fate full end. Reaching the west wing he wonders why she is so afraid of him going into his office and of how, how did she know of that poem 'Blue Roses in the Wind'?
Stopping at the large wooden oak doors and gently puts his hand on the clear glass knob turning it slowly. Opening the door to a crack as he stops and puts his head down on it thinking that he might have been too cruel to Nikko and wishing that he had handled it better, but as always pride gets in his way. He feels the pounding of his head as he closes the door.
Turing away from the door he replies quietly to himself, "God, my head hurts, I guess I still must be sick. Damn you Nikko."
He storms away from his office back down the hallway and walking back towards the Palm room. Leaving the door that would spell his fate to an end and walking towards a new road which of answers are still left unclear.
Approaching the room his eyes shadow over with a haunting look as he wonders what was she so afraid of? How did she know of that poem? No one could of known it, not anyone. He turns the clear green doorknob as he says a few lines from the poem, "Reminded I am of yesterday, with you in tomorrow, will you remember of me today? With Blue Roses in the wind" He slowly enters the room and closes the door.
To be continued.

Authors Note: So how was this chapter?? Sorry it took so long, had a lot of things on my mind. My second 8-page chapter I'm starting to like it. Also has anyone here heard the new Yu-Gi-Oh theme Warriors? It's really good, I like the beginning of it, it's a nice tune down after a fast pace song like Wild Drive. Especially when the show is getting into the memory arc, it needs a song that will suit it. Well next chapter I hope will not be as late and it will have more of Seto's thoughts. I feel like I'm ignoring him a bit, but I need to get out to this point before I started getting into him. Poor Nikko needs a rest for the next chapter.
