Invisible Touch
Chapter 24
That morning, Anjel sees the morning light and pulls the covers over her head. She heard a male's voice calling out her name before she dozed off. She figured it had to be Chaos.
"I don't believe this. Anjel, wake up!" Then the dark mage jumps on her bed. "Hey! You're gonna miss your wedding if you don't get up."
Nothing. Anjel's conscious state has slipped away. Chaos figured her light snoring answered that. So, he pinched her nose shut causing her to wake up rudely. She shot up and coughed, her lungs crying out for air. "Chaos, what are you doing?" she asks.
"Waking you up. Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"It's seven thirty-five. Now let me sleep."
"No, it's ten minutes 'til ten. Seto left here two hours ago."
Anjel jumps out of bed grabbing her clothes and throwing them on. "Why didn't you wake me up, you idiot?" she ranted. "You know I can't wake up on time! And for that matter, who reprogrammed you without my permission?"
"Junior did before he left," the dark mage sneered.
"Shut up and help me into this wedding dress. Annabelle! Mystra!"
The two female spellcasters came into the room. "You screamed, Mrs. Kaiba?" Annabelle giggled after that.
"Ha-ha-ha! Very funny," Anjel replies with sarcasm. "Could you two help me get ready? I only have one hour left."
"Actually, you have forty-five minutes," Chaos corrected the red- haired beauty.
"Way to go, dipstick, drop a bomb to increase the rate of panic."
There wasn't time to waste. Annabelle and Mystra helped Anjel get ready. Chaos searched her closet to find a pair of white high-heeled shoes. So much for that. Finally, he found them next to where he stood a long time ago. Coming to his spot after all those years brought back a memory.
(Flashback)
Harmony pulls the trigger and missed. However, the shot managed to cut through the material. Still miffed, she presses a button for security. Kaiba waited for the guards to arrive, but instead Chaos came to life and surprised him, "What the fuck?"
Chaos grabs the CEO and awaits for Harmony's orders. Kaiba struggles in the strong, vice grip, "Let me go, you freak in restraints!"
"Let this be a lesson to you, Seto," Harmony spat, "Throw him out, Chaos!"
The dark mage carries out the CEO. Before he became out of sight, the CEO stated with a promise, "Mock my words, Anjel, you haven't seen the last of me! I will win your heart!"
(End flashback)
"Chaos, where are my shoes?" the red-haired beauty asks in a mild tone.
The dark mage rushed to the bride and placed the shoes on her feet. He couldn't believe that Anjel had been so cruel to Seto back then. Here she is marrying him after fifteen years of putting him down and attempting to kill him.
There was a knock at the front door. Quickly, Celtic answers it. When he did, he was surprised to see Pegasus and Marik. Celtic opened his mouth to talk, but Pegasus answered immediately, "We were wondering if maybe Anjel is here."
"She's getting ready," the elf replies.
"I was wondering if we can talk to her for a moment."
"Make it quick. She has to leave in half an hour." Celtic steps aside to let the two inside. Then he leads them to her room. Anjel turns to the two and gasped, "Marik! Uncle Max! Don't scare me like that. I want to live long for the honeymoon."
"Anjel, I just want to say something," Marik stated.
"Okay, but make it quick."
"I wanted to say good luck on your marriage. You're one lucky woman to marry someone like Seto Kaiba."
"Thanks, Marik. And I must say for the first time you're acting like a man."
"You really think so?"
"I mean it."
Pegasus then said something. "Anjel, you look beautiful. You're as beautiful as your aunt."
"Thank you. That means alot to me," the bride chirped.
"There's one other request."
"What is it, Uncle Max?"
"Let me walk with you down that aisle."
"It's a deal. It wouldn't feel right to walk by myself."
The spellcasters stood back after they were done. Anjel stood there in a beautiful white dress and a veil. Her dress sparkled heavenly as well as her veil. "Wow! Seto's gonna keep his eyes on you all through the wedding," Mystra smiles.
Anjel laughs, "C'mon, we'll be late if we don't hurry."
Somewhere in Domino City, most of the guests are sitting down waiting for the ceremony to begin. Since Anjel wanted her wedding to be outside, it didn't bother them. It is a sunny day after all. Way in the back, Junior and Bakura sat down as well as their new android. Most of the guests were startled to see the Musician King.
"Junior, we have a problem here. Most of them think Rocky is a ghost," Bakura frowns. "Should we kill them?"
"No, that's just my dad's side being tight wads." Junior spat, "I wonder where Uncle Mokuba is."
"He's right there talking to your father."
"Whoa! What the heck happened to his hair?! It's so short."
"I guess he went through a crisis and decided to cut it after sweating so much you could bathe in it."
"Yuck! Bakura, there are guests here listening to you!"
Meanwhile, Seto is so jumpy, he can't stay in one place. Mokuba looks at his watch, "It's only 10:20. Relax, Seto. I'm sure she's fine. You only have ten minutes."
"I can't relax. The suspension is killing me."
"What's there to be nervous about? You're marrying Anjel after fifteen years of chasing. You two chase more times than those Ms. Pac-Man games."
"I can't take it anymore. You got a cigarette on you?"
"Seto! I don't smoke, and neither should you!"
"Mokuba, I have to. I'm just too nervous."
"Try walking around for a bit."
"Done that. I need a cigarette! Is Devlin here?"
"Seto, stop it. This craving for a cigarette is making you crazy."
"I must smoke!"
He ran from person to person asking for a cigarette. No one has any. Ten minutes have passed and still Anjel isn't there. However, Marik and Pegasus arrived. Like a lunatic, Seto grabs the Egyptian's shoulders, "Marik, where's Anjel?"
"I think she's still inside the building. She mentioned about having cold feet," Marik answers with a straight face.
"She picked a bad time for to have cold feet."
"I wasn't finished, Kaiba. She had cold feet getting here. She's inside waiting."
Someone announced the wedding is going to start. Everyone took their places. The music started as the bride walked down the aisle with Pegasus. The guests were in awe when they gazed at her sparkling dress including Seto.
The wedding went on for half an hour until Seto and Anjel were pronounced husband and wife. Soon, everyone danced and talked. At the table, Yugi and Joey glanced at the newlyweds dancing. "They sure are a cute couple," Yugi smiled.
"Yeah," Joey agrees, "it's too bad Tristan isn't here."
"Joey, he didn't want to come because he's hiding something from Seto."
"What could it be?"
"I don't know." Yugi turns about and sees Tristan talking to Anjel privately.
On the other side of the room.....
"Anjel, I wanted to say this so I could get it off my chest." Tristan gazed at the floor.
"Whatever you have to say just say it," Anjel replies.
"Do you remember that night at Duelist Kingdom?"
"Yes, you were in my room because you lost your way to the bathroom."
"Other than that."
"Oh yeah. You lied about sleeping with me which you did. What about it?"
"I didn't want to tell this to Kaiba, but I loved you more than he did. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I couldn't help but to stare. For a long time, I wondered if you'll ever marry a lucky guy. Well, I guess you did."
"Wait a minute. You need to tell me it was you who kept spying at me through my bedroom window and breaking into my mansion?"
"You're only half right. I just looked through your bedroom window. I could've snuck inside your room, but I didn't want you to yell at me as you did with Kaiba." Tristan turns his back to Anjel, " I can never compete with him. I can't give you what he gave you."
"What is that?" she blinks.
He turns to her with a weak smile, "A tender heart and a child." Tristan kissed Anjel's cheek, "You take care of yourself." He walks away leaving the red-haired beauty for good.
Anjel spent that time thinking about all the times he peeked through her window just to see her. She then began to wonder if her androids knew his whereabouts and kept it a secret. Part of her felt sorry for the guy, but another part said to let it go for the past was behind her. If she had paid more attention to Tristan, she could've married him instead.
Inside the building, Tristan watched Anjel dance in Seto's arms. 'I still love you, Anjel,' he thought, 'we could've been together and married until Kaiba came along and swept you off your feet.' Then that was it. Tristan left without a trace.
That night, Anjel and Seto were in their outfits and on their honeymoon somewhere on Earth. It was embarrassing at first. Anjel is dressed as the Dancing Elf while Seto is dressed as the Moon Envoy.
"Come on, Seto," Anjel tries not to laugh, "you look fine. No one is here to watch. I own most of all the acres here. I even have an arena built there so we could dance."
"Well, I guess it's okay out here." He looks around, "Are you sure no one's here?"
"I'm positive."
"There's just one thing that still bothers me. Did you ever figure out what that card meant by placing the Armored G. Prince and the Gitaroo Warrior under the Celtic Guardian?"
"I already figured it out. The Armored G. Prince represents you as the ancient magician from 5,000 years ago, and the Gitaroo Warrior is supposed to be my ancestor. The Celtic Guardian symbolizes our son. Many times the Celtic Guardian dies in a duel, Lily used him as a memory of her unborn child."
"I understand now."
The two steps up onto the arena and dances in the moonlight. Seto held her close as he complimented her looks, "You know you're very beautiful in the moonlight."
Anjel giggles as a response as she continues to dance in his arms. This is a night the two of them are gonna remember.
===============================================================
Two months later........ ===============================================================
Junior completed his third android and Bakura came back with mail. "Junior, you got a letter from your parents." The rockstar handed his lover the letter.
"Good, now you can introduce Elroy and Judy to Rocky." The teen closes the compartment on Judy's back and zips up her dress, "I think I did a great job on them."
"You made Elroy and Judy hover?"
"Yup."
"Still I don't like their names. It reminds me of the Jetsons."
"Hey, don't put down the Jetsons! I've watched that show since I was six."
"They had TV in Egypt?"
"Sure. They're not primitive."
"So much has changed over the years."
Bakura escorted the two new androids out of the room leaving Junior alone. The teen opens the letter and reads it.
*Junior,
We're writing this letter to let you know how we're doing. I have good news for you. Expect to be the oldest sibling; your mother is expecting to have a baby in seven months. I hope you're excited as we are. In addition, your mother enclosed a one-of-a-kind card to help you win a duel faster. You should thank your great uncle.
Sincerely,
Mom and Dad*
Junior doesn't react at all. He simply folded the letter and placed it under the chest where he keeps his deck of cards. He puts the cards in the chest after looking at it. The card happens to be the Gitaroo Warrior.
When the time is right, Junior will use that card not for power but for duelists to see the truth. What his mother couldn't do, he can. He may have gotten the Cathedral Artist which increases all the monsters on his side of the field by 1,000 points, or Kirah the Gitaroo Soldier for she can negate all battle phases for the opponent. Instead, he earned the greatest card of all which raises his chances of winning by almost a hundred percent, and that is all the help he deserved.
