Invisible Touch
Chapter 3
Somewhere in Domino City, later that night, Yami had a long chat with Ishizu about Harmony's past.
"So you're saying that she's acting this way to everyone because she feels that anyone could be responsible for the death of Pegasus," he clarifies.
"It's possible," she nodded, "She wasn't like this all the time. Her ancestor was a slut."
Much as it was funny, Yami chortles, "A slut?"
"Yes. Many years ago, her ancestor named Lily was having an affair with you. Then again, you know that already."
"Oh yeah. She had a set of gams on her."
"Anyway, she slept with another man behind your back."
"What? Explain."
"Y'see, she loved you so much that she wanted to marry you. Her plans were soon cancelled when she met the high priest and fell in love. At a casual time, she'd love you and cherish you more than anyone, and at her free times at night, she'd sleep with the high priest. One day, she got pregnant."
"Now I remember. The baby wasn't mine! I was quite thrilled because she'd smother me with her hugs, drown me with kisses, and nearly killed me with all the love she was giving me. Dumb wench got what she deserved!"
"Need I say that you had her executed when Lily lied to you about the baby."
"That's fascinating, but I want to know about the seven cards Pegasus created for Anjel."
"...They're as real as the Egyptian God Cards. Three of her cards can wipe out the entire field of monsters. Only one card is stronger than all three Egyptian God Cards put together, but I don't know which one. I can see a clear picture of a fusion of her favorite card and her unknown card."
"What favorite card?"
"She only has one ritual. She likes to summon it whenever her opponents don't attack."
"But Magician of Black Chaos cannot be fused with another monster."
"Can't say that anymore. She's very mysterious and extremely dangerous. You duel her, and you'll lose your favorite card forever."
"Have you been smoking again?"
"I swear. I beg of you. Don't duel her! Look at what she did to Marik!"
Ishizu pointed to a broken Marik staring at nothing with his hair ungroomed, clothes all baggy, and didn't bother to blink. "Thanks to her, he'll never recover from the shock. I now have a brother who doesn't remember a damn thing."
"He looks like a vegetable," Yami frowns, "Have you tried to snap him out of it?"
"Many times! Nothing works. I've tried everything to get him to snap him out of it. I've tried waving his skanky sock under his nose!"
"I have to go now. Ishizu, get a good night sleep and pray for brains."
The next morning, Harmony wakes up from her beauty sleep. Waiting in the next room was Kaiba, leaning against a statue of the Dark Magician... or so he thought (again). 'Ive done a terrible thing to my beloved,' he thought, 'now she'll hate me even more.'
Harmony came out of her room in a pink robe and sees the CEO, "What the hell are you doing here?"
Kaiba faces her with shame, "I came here to apologize. The last thing I want to see is being behind bars. It was wrong of me to take advantage of you."
"GET OUT!!"
"Not until you hear me out."
"You're really asking for it, Seto!"
"Baby, please, don't end it this way."
"Get out, or I'm calling the police."
"I'm not leaving until I say something."
"Get out!"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I.."
"Why?"
"I.."
"Why?"
Kaiba then grabs her and pins her to the wall. He then silenced her with a tender kiss. Harmony attempts to free herself; eventually, she gave into the kiss for it was her first one. The CEO pulls away. "I love you," he whispers softly.
The romantic moment ended as soon as something grabbed the CEO. Harmony escapes the grip and steps away. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Seto," she replies in a dark tone, "Dark Magician, throw out the garbage!"
Kaiba attempts to free himself, but the statue had an even stronger grip. Giving up, the CEO allows the statue to drag him out the door. The butler opens the door, and the statue boots the CEO out. He landed face first on the cold concrete. He looks up and rested his hand under his chin with a smile, "She wants me."
"At it again I see," a voice boomed, "when are you gonna give up on her?"
"Do you have a hidden radar in your eyeballs?" the CEO frowns, "I can't be left alone to win my love's heart, and here I am sitting on cold pavement feeling sorry for myself talking to a 5,000-year-old spirit with tri-colored hair."
"You might as well give up, Kaiba, that girl is not in play."
"Don't tell me she's a lesbian."
"No, she has a bad history of toying with the men and crushing their hearts. She likes to torment the males!"
"I don't believe you. You're just saying that so you can try to take her away from me."
"It's true. Even if I did take her, I'll end up like you: crawling back and begging for a second chance. You have to face facts."
"No, I won't listen to you! It's all a lie!"
Harmony came out with a baseball bat at top speed. A moment of unexplaining fear took over the CEO as if it was a disease. 'This girl wants to kill me!' he mentally cries out.
The red-headed girl then raises the bat over her head and swings down. WHACK! She killed a bird resting on a statue of her deceased uncle. "Stupid bird! I have worked my hands to the bone to keep that statue clean as a whistle. Now I have to clean off the blood."
Her grumbling made the CEO run away. Ten minutes later, she came out with a scrub brush and a pail of soapy water. She wore gloves and had her hair tied up. She also had on an old dress and an apron.
Yami watches Harmony clean the statue from as far as she could reach to the bottom. Then she hollared to the servant to bring out her personal slave. The CEO then bumps Yami away from the gate to see her. "Beat it! I saw her first; she's mine!" he hissed.
The two males couldn't believe what they have seen walking out of the mansion.
"Chaos, come here and clean the top!" she gestured.
Since the dark mage doesn't have a voice box, the only way to communicate was Morse code. Somehow, Harmony didn't buy it, "Chaos, haul your ass over here and clean the top now! I don't care what your damn problem is!"
Then her eyes turned to the stunned teens at the gate. "Why are you two still here? Didn't I tell you two to go away?"
Yami had a question, "Anjel, why are you being so mean to your dark mage?"
Harmony literally blew smoke out of her nostrils, "He isn't real, you panty-waisted dumbass! Now remove yourself off my property or I'm calling the police!"
"Do you have some grudge against males?"
"None of your fucking business, drag queen!"
Kaiba finally said something, "Anjel, please, I won't try anything else if you just give me another chance." He fell to his knees pleading for forgiveness.
Yami found this very odd for the CEO to be doing this just to gain her trust. Usually, Kaiba would act as rotten but not as much as Harmony. When around familiar faces, his heart would be solid as stone, but his heart softens when he sees Harmony. It's as if he is under a love spell. Then he remembered that Marik acted the same way when seeing her. Not only did he dueled her and lost, he also lost most of himself and cannot perform his usual daily activities. What Kaiba is going through is phase one of Harmony's cycle: begging after being dumped.
"Oh Chaos," Harmony calls coyly, "after you're done cleaning the statue, I have a little surprise for you."
Yami can tell by the look in the dark mage's eyes that this surprise isn't good.
"An android like you needs to talk," she continues, "so I spent a full night working on a voice box. It's ready to be inserted into your throat."
The dark mage smiled meekly, but little did she know that once the voice box is in his throat, he'll be able to spill the beans to her enemies about every detail of her life. Harmony then turns back to the two males. "Do I have to point a rifle to your heads to make you go away? I warning you for the last time."
Yami left, but Kaiba refuses to listen. Harmony pulls out a rifle from the pocket of her apron and aims it to the CEO. Before she could fire, Yami grabs the lovestruck CEO and ran off with him. "I don't know what you see in that crazy witch, Kaiba," Yami growls in frustration, "but this has to stop."
"She's my Dancing Elf," he replies in a daze, "and I'm her Moon Envoy. We'll always be together no matter what it takes."
"Kaiba, snap out of it!"
"If only I can see her dance in the moonlight..."
Yami grabs both of Kaiba's arms and shook him, "Kaiba!! Wake up!"
Nothing happened; the CEO is gone forever in a love spell. It seemed hopeless to bring him out of it; so, Yami left the CEO. It wasn't long that all of his friends came by in the nick of time to watch the female billionaire mentally hurt Kaiba with fiery insults.
"Damn," Tristan shook his head, "I don't really see how Kaiba can take that kind of abuse. It's enough to make a sailor blush with shame."
"And I thought Marik is the only one to talk that way," Bakura frowned.
"He was until he encountered that witch from hell," Joey replies.
They watched Harmony rant and rave insults in front of Kaiba. Somehow, her threats couldn't get through his head. The CEO smiled and nods as if she was saying something else. Joey heard a carck about a jackass and surprisingly couldn't believe that the CEO nodded to that. He bursts into laughter, "That's the first time he ever agreed about being the rear end of a jackass. I'm glad he admitted it!"
Then Tea kicks him in the leg. The blond groans in pain. "Joey, this is serious! She's downright cruel to him." she retorts.
"There's nothing we can do," Mai answers.
"Yeah? Well, I'm not one of these people to stand and watch," Tristan stated as he walks up to Harmony.
The insults got louder as he came closer to the gate entrance where Kaiba stood. Then he spat out loud without hesitating, "Shut up, you conniving little witch!"
The word 'witch' echoed throughout the entire area. Yami stood there wide-eyed and gawked at Tristan's command. "Damn!" he choked.
Harmony looks at Tristan with fire blazing in her eyes. "What did you call me, shark boy?!" she yells.
"You heard me," Tristan glares, "I called you a witch."
Harmony opens the gate and punched him dead in the face. The CEO fell to his knees and begs for forgiveness as he kisses Harmony's arm. She thinks it over and replies rolling her eyes, "All right, Seto, I'll give you one more chance, but you better not try any funny stuff."
The CEO's eyes widens with glee, "Thank you, Anjel, and I promise I'll try my hardest not to do anything funny."
He arises to his feet and enters through the gate. Just as the gates were closing, Yami lowers his head. "I knew him well," he sighed.
Somehow, Yugi protested, 'I don't think she'll hurt him. I just have this feeling that Anjel will give in to him soon.'
Yami thinks it over. He finally said, "I wish I knew him very well."
