Chapter 4 - Generally Weird
Jessie walked up to Rogue and went face to face with her.
". . .Jessie?"
"Rogue," Jessie said with a sigh. "You are one of my dearest friends. . ." She began.
"A-ha. . ." Rogue said slowly raising an eyebrow. "You were on the sugar weren't you?" Jessie shook her head. "Ok your drunk!" She shook her head. "No. . .ah! You've been watching too many movies haven't you? Oh Jessie I- AHHHH!!"
The young lady screamed as Jessie brought the knife up and tried to stab her best friend through the chest. She jumped to the bed and crawled back really slowly. Suddenly she fell back onto the carpet, missing the bed.
"Rogue? Are you dead?"
Marik appeared and sighed. "Even when I take over her mind, she's still as thick as ever." He groaned.
"YOU BROKE MY NAIL YOU BITCH!" Rogue screamed lunging for Jessie.
"AH!" Jessie screamed and fell back onto the carpet. "ARGH!" Jessie stood up quickly, pushing Rogue to the ground and raising the knife once again.
She felt her fist being held back and Jessie froze. Turning her head she faced Yami.
Marik smirked and walked over to the Pharaoh.
"Pharaoh," Marik greeted him in cold way. "What brings you here?"
"You trying to kill someone!" he rebounded letting go of Jessie's wrist.
She let the knife drop and her own knees fall to the ground. Tears streamed down her eyes as she looked up at her friend.
"Rogue. . .I'm. . .sorry. . ." She whispered.
Rogue smiled and brought her friend into a warm embrace.
"Pharaoh, you always spoil everything!" Marik yelled at him.
"Pharaoh?! JUST WHO ARE YOU?!" Rogue cried, looking up at Yami, who she thought was Yugi . . .
"Stay out of this!" Marik cried, turning round he held out his rod and Rogue flew back away from Jessie, into the wall.
"Rogue!" Jessie cried, getting up and running after her friend, who fell to the floor.
"MARIK!" Yami cried, in a rough, strict voice.
"that's not gonna' help!" Jessie cried as she knelt by Rogue, who looked up, rubbing her neck.
"I have no time for you Pharaoh! Or your stupid friends-" and with that he made a run for it, out the window.
"are you ok?" Yami asked Rogue, coming towards her.
"ow . . ." Rogue sighed, as Jessie helped her up. "yeah-"
"I really better be going, who knows what Marik could be doing now?" Yami asked himself. He turned to leave, but Jessie stopped him.
"If you see him, could you ask him where the cakes are?" She said.
*********************************************************************
That night, Rogue found it hard to sleep. She knew it was stupid, but she was scared of Jessie. What if she suddenly jumped up and tried to stab her to death? Besides that, she still didn't understand who the 'pharaoh' was and who Jessie was being 'possessed' by?! She only had about two hours sleep and woke up abruptly crying after her nightmare about being chased by floating bananas.
Jessie herself slept fine, she didn't understand what happened, but she didn't care. The only question on her mind was WHERE THE HELL WERE THE CAKES?!
Yami walked back into his grandpa's shop in the early hours of the morning, he let Yugi regain control of his body as Solomon entered the shop, looking worried.
"Yugi!" he cried, hugging his grandson. "Where were you? I thought you were only taking that girl back, it's been hours . . . ur . . ."
"Ur . . . sorry Grandpa" Yugi sighed. "Something was wrong. Marik was causing trouble"
"Are you OK? Is it sorted? What sort of trouble?!" His grandpa asked rapidly, fire in his eyes.
"Nothing big . . .Well, you know Sakura? I walked back with her. Marik had taken over the mind of her friend and- well, she was trying to kill Sakura" The look of terror in Yugi's grandpa's eyes was so intense he had never seen that look before. "Grandpa?"
"Uh . . ." he said, his mind seemed to be in a different place. "Uh . . .oh! is she ok?"
"Yes, Yami helped out. Then we went to find Marik but had no luck" Yugi bit his lip and looked down. His grandpa put his arm round him and led him into the back.
"But everything's ok" Solomon said, forcing a smile. "C'mon, let's get some cocoa or something"
Isis sighed, that was it! She though as she folded the last invitation and put it in an envelope labelled 'Mai Valentine'. "Last one!" she said, smiling and leaning back on her chair. Suddenly their was a knock at the door. Isis rolled her eyes and making her way slowly to the door.
Upon opening it, she saw Kaiba, holding a sheet of paper. "Uh . . . Hi Seto, what brings you hear at four in the morning?" Seto smiled and pushed past her, closing the door for her. "Oh, don't worry you don't have to answer today, I wasn't asking a question or anything" she said, folding her arms and turning to him.
"Calm down" Seto said, raising an eyebrow. "Anyway, ere. I found some more duellists you can invite" he handed over the sheet of paper which was freshly printed, susceptibly from the freshly updated Kaiba corp. databases. Isis looked at it puzzled.
"Jessie Harper . . .Sakura?" She looked along the sheet where it had some information about them. "Sakura . . .Champion of most American states, South America, Spain, Hong Kong. Also tag-team champion of USA along side Jessica Harper . . ."
"I can read" Seto spat, when he was sure she had finished. "So. Are you going to make the invitations or am I?"
She handed him back the paper as if to say, "you, doh!"
"Tonight at your place?" he said, with a warm smile he only ever shared with her and his brother. Isis nodded and returned his smile. "ok" he said quietly, leaning forward to give her a soft kiss on the lips before leaving, closing the door behind him.
Isis stood for a while, his kisses was always so full of feeling and warmth. Still she could not see why everyone thought him a heartless monster. Wiliest thinking of this, she collapsed onto her bed and fell asleep . . .
Rogue felt herself being shook, she opened her eyes quickly, her first thought being that Jessie has killed her and she was in hell . . . She looked up to see Jessie and knew this WAS the case, sitting up she screamed.
"ROGUEEE! Calm down, what is it?" Jessie asked, backing away.
"Nothing" Rogue said smiling, looking around she took in the familiar surroundings of the Hotel room. She sighed and felt herself lower back into her bed as Jessie looked down on her.
"Rogue? Hello- we're in Japan!" Jessie cried, throwing her arms in the air at an attempt of a bad movie take-off.
"I know . . . and?"
"Domino City, we could go site seeing we could whip some unsuspecting butt!" Jessie whistled wen she had finished and continued to smile aimlessly. Rogue sighed.
"Do I have to?" she asked, pulling her quilt further over her.
"YES COME OOOONNNN!" Jessie said, she sounded way too over-enthusiastic. "Plus, on the way down there, I need to ask for those damn cakes!"
They made their way down the huge marble staircase of the hotel. Rogue was busy tying her hair into a scruffy plat, Jessie looked around at all the tourists, taking pictures of everything, the floor, the stairs, the door, a cloud that looked like the Eiffel tower.
"Excuse me?" Jessie said, making her way through the crowds to the main desk. She was pushed back a few metres away from it by a tall blonde-haired girl. "Hey!" she cried, falling back onto Rogue.
"Sorry" the girl said turning round. "more important people first, you know" then she gave them a snigger and began to walk away. Rogue bounded forward and grab her arm.
"Guess that means you'd better move back and make way for us then!" she cried, smirking back at her. The girl gave her a look of pure ignorance and flicked her wavy hair out of her face.
"What/" she spat.
"You heard me" Rogue spat back, "you don't go around insulting my friends like that!"
The girl began to smile fakery, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realise you were so important, what are you? The princesses of Mars or something?"
"how sad . . ." Jessie said, surpassing Rogue who was about to strike back with her own sad insult. "no, actually we're duellists, and Rogue here was about to challenge you to a duel"
"Was I?" Rogue hissed.
"Well, fine by me. My daddy owns this hotel so we can just kick the latest 'hot-shots' off the duelling stand outside and get straight to it" she smiled again, and pointed to the back glass doors. "right that way"
As she began to walk off Rogue looked at Jessie, "I'm going to kill you . . ." she hissed as she was pushed along by passers by who had jumped at the change to watch a duel.
Jessie walked up to Rogue and went face to face with her.
". . .Jessie?"
"Rogue," Jessie said with a sigh. "You are one of my dearest friends. . ." She began.
"A-ha. . ." Rogue said slowly raising an eyebrow. "You were on the sugar weren't you?" Jessie shook her head. "Ok your drunk!" She shook her head. "No. . .ah! You've been watching too many movies haven't you? Oh Jessie I- AHHHH!!"
