FW: So, after the dramatic last chapter, I think we all need a little insanity and getting to know the REAL Keiko

MW: An insane, blonde, and intelligent little girl.

FW: I know she seems like a bitch now, but you just wait ok?

MW: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but she owns Keiko Crawford.

FW: Warning. Lemony and fluff abounds. You have been warned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was willing to become friends with anyone but him. She loathed Yami with a passion, but she would have to play getting along with him, until she had a chance. She could separate the boys, and make it all look like a terrible accident. She would have to. It was the only way she wouldn't take an innocent life. The car pulled up to Kaiba Mansion, and she took her bags inside. Obaba and her fellow servant, a tall, kindly man in his fifties with an eye patch ((Norman from Big O anyone? XP)) threw a joyous fit over her coming to live with them. They had no idea of what she was planning. She felt a lot happier to be surrounded by people that loved her as much as they did. Seto came home, and ran to her. He picked her up and spun her around, as they both laughed. They shared a long embrace, and for the first time in a long while, she smiled. She giggled, and tried taking one step down the stairs, only succeeding in tripping herself and sliding down the rest of the stairs.

"Klutz." Seto mocked, helping her up.

Keiko held him close and asked to talk to him alone.



Seto took her to his room, shut the door and sat on his bed next to her. Seto held her close, asking what was wrong.

"Will they forgive me for what I tried to do Seto?"

"I don't know. I know Yuugi feels for you. He'll always be there for you when I'm not there to protect you. I know you don't like it, but, I love you. When your hurt, I just can't explain what goes on inside of me. Instincts take over."

"I know your sad…why?"

"Because, that crazy little girl I loved seems to have disappeared. I guess time has had dire effects on both of us."

"Seto, I haven't changed, I just…I just…have gone through a rough time…I just want to kill him so bad.."

"Killing someone won't make anything better. Trust me." ((MW: You should know *FW snickers*))

"I feel so idiotic for doing all of this. What can I do to feel better?"

Seto began a longwinded and complicated speech about asking for forgiveness, and being very polite to Yuugi-tatchi. He finished his little speech and noticed Keiko was staring at the ceiling.

"What are you doing?"

"I got bored so I started counting dots on the ceiling. It's fun."

Seto face vaulted. For such an intelligent girl, she was so…so…so…blonde.

"Wanna go outside and count stars? Lets see how long takes before we lose count!"

"Count stars? Why? Isn't that a bit…childish?"

"What's wrong with acting like a kid?"

"Nothing…I guess…"

Keiko dragged Seto took the balcony outside. She stared up at the sky, and began counting the stars. Seto was more interested in what she had become. Her legs were very long, taking up a good part of her body. Her low rise tight jeans accented her legs perfectly. Her choice in shirts was a tad strange to Seto, because she was wearing a tight black tube top that showed a lot of her nicely toned stomach. Seto saw a small glimmer, and saw she had pierced her belly button. Her long blonde hair hung down to her waist. Her mouth was in an open smile as she counted aloud, her little fang looked adorable on her. Her eyes shone, until she got confused.

"Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen…uhhh...Seto…did I count that one already?"

"No."

"Okay!" she said with a cute smile that made Seto's heart beat faster. Seto moved closer to her, so close they were right next to each other. Seto put his arm around her waist, and brought her right in front of him.

"Aishiteru, Kei-chan." He whispered in her ear, gently nipping it.

Keiko was turning a bright red and she began to stammer. He thought it was adorable when she did that. He slowly turned her around, brought her close, and kissed her. She reacted after a while, and wrapped her arms around his back. He nuzzled her gently, and they watched as a shooting star flew by.

"Did you make a wish?"

"I did…"

"And what was it?" Seto asked, kissing her gently on the cheek.

"That everyone would forgive me for what I did."

"Don't worry about it. You'll live longer."

Seto gingerly kissed her neck, and sat her on the balcony rail.

"Your eyes are as beautiful as the heavens above."

Keiko just blushed. Seto toyed with the choker he had given her so many years ago.

"A good thing like this should be followed by something better"

Keiko tilted her head to the side, with a confused look on her face as he took off the choker. "Oro?"

Seto took the small crystal Blue Eyes and placed it on a real gold chain, and placed it around her neck.

Keiko looked at the necklace. "Meow?" she said softly, then proceeded to glomp Seto.

"Ore no Neko-chan" ((My little Cat)). He began to gently run his hands up and down her back as he kissed her neck and shoulders. She was giggling and kissing his cheek. They were about to kiss again when they heard a small voice from the garden below.

"Nii-sama, get a room."

Keiko began to laugh out loud, and Seto chucked something at Mokuba, who ran away laughing with his little group of buddies.

"Man is that your brother's girlfriend?"

"She's hot!"

Mokuba laughed at his friends, who kept looking back at Keiko, who was waving at them and giggling like crazy. They didn't expect her to leap into the tree next to the balcony, run after them and hug them all at once like little plushies.

Seto chuckled at his fiancé. "This is one of the things I love her for."

"Where are you little kids going so late at night? Can I come? Pleeeeeease?"

The boys stared at her in disbelief, blinked twice and ran.

"She's hot but she's fucking strange!!!"

Keiko sat on the ground, anime tears coming from her eyes. "I wanted ice cream…"

Seto picked her up and said he'd take her out for a night on the town, but Keiko shook her head. Seto laughed and carried her inside. Keiko clung to him, wanting to sit and watch a movie together, but Seto had work.

"Is this all you do now a days?"

"Mostly, but I swear I'll cut some time for you."

"Or else, I'll sic an army of evil penguins on you."

Seto sweat drops, and doesn't bother asking. He walks up the stairs to his office and closes the door. Keiko sits on the couch for a minute to make sure no one is around, then she flips over the couch, puts on her tattered, lucky Converse shoes, puts a red and black hair band in her hair, puts on purple and black arm warmers, black ripped up jeans that are tight and super low, with her favorite small black shirt. She checks herself in the mirror, "borrows" some money from Seto's wallet and picked out a set of keys.

She jumped at the car the keys started. Well, it wasn't a car. It was Seto's pride and joy, his custom motorcycle. She placed a helmet on and took off at top speed, letting her senses tell her where to go. When she got closer to downtown, she discovered a place with many loud, late night clubs. She poked around each one for a little while, trying to decide which one to go to on a normal basis.

"Not quite like the clubs back in L.A. or London, but it'll do." she sighed. Places like this were a haven for her. Somewhere where she could be anyone she wanted to. She stepped up to the dance floor and quickly had many people fail at surpassing her in dance moves. She looked at her watch some hours later and realized that she should get back.

"Hey you! What's your name?" a tall man with dreadlocks asked.

"My name….my name is Amphetamine, and don't you forget it!" Keiko said, using the name of the song she considered her theme. She drove home, hoping Seto hadn't noticed her disappearance. Luckily for her he hadn't. She put on her pajamas and crept to his office, and watched him from the door, peeking in and out like a little child.

"I know you are there, and you should get to bed. You have to start school in the morning."

Keiko had little dot eyes, an x for a mouth and a small chibi like face.

"Phweeeeee."

"I know you don't want to go alone. I still have to go to school to."

"So why aren't you going to bed?"

"Work."

"Do you even sleep?"

"…..just go to bed."

Keiko giggled and teased Seto to the point where he chased her into her room. He knew the next day was going to be very hard. In fact, the next few months may be hard on her. But he swore he would be there for her. He gently flicked off her light and shut the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seto woke Keiko up early so they could have breakfast together before school. He chose a nice little café by the school. She looked quite attractive in her school uniform, embarrassed at the fact she was wearing pink. The color she had hated for as long as he could remember. The only pink things she didn't hate were roses, sakura blossoms, Card Captor Sakura, Chibi Usa and Utena. ((Writers: XD!))

"You look cute in that uniform. And having your hair in a bow like Minako's makes you look cuter. ((Note: Minako is the original name for Mina in Sailor Moon))

"I hate pink, and I hate skirts. Can't I wear a longer skirt, or maybe a boys uniform?"

"Nope. Sorry. Our school has a lot of rules."

"Nani?"

"One: No dating Two: No part time jobs Three: No girls wearing the boys uniform"

"Aren't you breaking the first and second rules?"

"We'll keep it a secret, and honestly like they would make me dropout because I am a CEO."

Keiko sweat dropped "Oh right. Hehheh."

Seto began walking to Domino High, Keiko following shyly behind him.

"You can't hang on me forever, if you do the teachers may suspect something."

"But I am scared…."

"Just be Keiko, they'll love you. Don't worry."

Keiko smiled fondly at him and promised she would be herself. At that point she began skipping and singing a song in English he had never heard before.

~She came out west to find the sun

She lost her name but found a new one~

Seto wondered about her. She had lost her name, well, at least her first one. No one would call her Keiko here. Only her last name, Crawford.

~Amy goes to school all day

But at night in the neighborhood they call her Amphetamine~

Seto doubted the fact that she would go out alone at night and meander with all types of people, but he never put things past her.

~She is perfect in that fucked up way

That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days~

Seto just sweat dropped at that point. "Hit the nail on the head." ((Bardock and Yami: *nodding in agreement*))

~She looks like a teenage anthem

She looks like she used to be happy with the girl inside~

It was common for her to love clothing from London or America that was called "Punker." He had seen people dressing like that before, and he imagined how it appealed to Keiko, who always loved standing out.

~She looks so bored sometimes

And she has that super pale skin and those soft green eyes~

Her skin was always soft. Seto remembered her eyes always shining with some kind of emotion. Be it love, curiosity or sadness they were always beautiful.

~She looks like she could have been happy in a better life

She came out west just to break away clean

From her family and her friends and a little girl's dream~

She had left her friends, and she only had her father. Seto wondered, what it would have been like for her if she was just another girl that went to their school. Probably so much better. She'd have friends, she'd have admirers…she'd have his eye fixed on her.

~All she wants to do every night

Is to sit beside my window and listen to the sirens~

She had wanted her room with a nice large window she could count the stars with. She had even made him sit and count with her.

~She is perfect in that fucked up way

That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days

She looks like a teenage anthem

And she looks like she should have been happy in another life

In another life~

Keiko looked very happy in her own little world, skipping through the sakura blossoms on the way to school.

~She came out west just to break the spell

After three long years in a marriage from hell

Six months clean living sober and right

Her doctors tell her everything will be alright~

Seto remembered something important. She was under medication, or was at some point in her life. Severe depression after everything was collapsing in her life. Her mother had been long dead, she had no friends, she was in an exchange program, five of her best friends killed in Ireland, her father dying.

~Yeah, you just take your pill

And everything will be alright~

She had stopped taking the medication, probably after she left Los Angeles. He sighed. Seto hoped she didn't have to take them anymore.

~She looks like a teenage anthem

She looks like a magazine girl

She looks like a teenage anthem

Like she used to be happy in another world~

Whatever world she was in right now, she was the happiest Seto had ever seen her in a long, long time.

~She looks like a teenage anthem

She is happy with the girl inside

She looks like a teenage anthem

And looks like she could have been happy in another life

In another life

Happy in another life~

Seto ran to catch up with her, and smiled, well, smirked but it was close.

~Met her at a party and I took her home

She is the saddest girl that I have ever known

She wakes up in the middle of the night

Just to tell me everything will be alright

Amy smiles at me and tells me everything will be alright

I tell myself the same damn thing

Everyday

Everything will be alright~

When she stopped singing, and turned around to see Seto, she apologized for being so loud.

"You sing like an angel."

"Ah, well I don't think so…."

"But you do."

"Fine." Keiko said, as she began to skip again. Seto actually smiled, a soft smile, but a smile none the less. She made her way to the classroom, and the teacher told her to wait outside the room, until he was ready to introduce her to the class.

After the class had taken attendance, the teacher called for their attention.

"We have a new student today. She comes from…uhhh…a lot of places."

Yuugi, Ryou, Anzu, Honda and Jounouchi perked up. A new student was uncommon, so naturally there was a bit of a commotion.

"This is our new student class. I think you'll all come to love her."

After he finished his sentence, the door began to slowly slide open.
