Ch 11: The shattered glass
Azure
I settled in well at the Motou home. The little ones grandfather reminded me very much of my own. Ao was doing much better as well. She was gaining weight, and the dark circles under eyes were gone.
Everyone morning Yugi and Ryou's friends, Tea, Joey and Tristan came by, and then they went off to school. Yami, Ao, Kuri and I would help grandpa with the shop during the day. Sometimes Bakura would stop by, to see me. He still didn't like Yami very much, but I found even though Yami didn't remember who he was, he was still the same old Yami.
One such day, Kuri and Ao were still in the basement and grandpa was out of town so Yami and I were minding the shop. It was mid afternoon, the shop was empty and we were bored.
"Perhaps Bakura will come by," I said hopefully.
"Hnn, perhaps. School will be over soon anyway," was all Yami said.
They didn't fight, because they knew it upset me, but that didn't mean they had to like each other. Besides that, the other unspoken rule we had, was Yami and I didn't discuss the past. It was mostly for my benefit, he had no wish to upset me.
Finally, I decided I was ready. "If you want to talk about the past," I said looking at him from my seat on counter "I'm okay to."
"Yugi says you were in love with someone. I wondered who it was," Yami asked.
A slight smile touched my lips as his image drifted into my mind "Seth."
"I figured as much," Yami said.
"I know you don't remember, but Seth was a good man," I said.
We were so absorbed in our talk we didn't hear someone enter, "Tell me about him?" Yami asked.
"He was fiercely loyal to those he trusted. He was very cold though, his little brother died when he was younger and he never really recovered from that."
"Yes, Yugi told me about Lekhb's first attempt to take over Egypt and how he killed Seth's little brother because Seth tried to protect me."
I nodded "Its true, but that was before I was living in the palace. I lived in a small village with my grandfather."
"Yugi tells me in the past Duel Monsters were not always restricted to The Shadow Realm?" Yami asked.
"It's true. We had some good times with The Blue Eyes, Reb'd and Darm," I smiled faintly, pulling my knees to my chest.
"Why did I seal the Shadow Realm?"
"I wish I knew," Azure said "When I left, it was open. Now I can only see my Shadow Creatures in my dreams."
"You dream with them?" Yami asked his eyes wide.
I nodded easily "Yes, sometimes. I have most of my life; you and Seth did as well."
"I wish I could remember," Yami said wistfully.
"You will Yami, soon," I assured him.
"I know you'd rather be in your own time, but I am glad you are here," he told me.
I smiled at him "The little one was right, the hurt lessens."
"I'm glad things aren't as hard for you," he said.
Kuri's voice floated up the stairs "Yami! Ao's accidentally locked herself in the bathroom again!"
Both Yami and I snorted with laughter, "I'll be back in a few minutes," Yami said, heading downstairs to help Ao and Kuri.
I slid over the counter; sipping my iced tea, as my cousin walked in "Hey there," I called.
"Hey," Bakura called smiling, and then the smile fell off his face "Bloody hell," he whispered.
My eyes turned to what he was staring at. A familiar face met mine. In shock, I dropped my glass of iced tea and as it shattered I whispered "Seth."
Kaiba
"Seth," the girl whispered, heading towards me, but Bakura stopped her.
My breath caught in my throat when I heard her voice and got a good look at her face. She was the one in my dreams.
"Azure," he said quickly "He's not Seth."
"Kura, its Seth," the girl repeated softly.
"Listen to me," Bakura insisted "He's not Seth." Bakura took a deep breath "His name is Seto Kaiba."
The girl looked like she'd been slapped "That's Kaiba?" she asked.
"He's the physical reincarnation of Seth. Nothing more," Bakura said.
The girl's eyes left mine and bore into Bakura's. "You knew the entire time and you didn't tell me," the girl shoved him away.
I saw Yami coming up the basement stairs. Seeing me his jaw dropped "Oh no."
"You didn't tell me either," the girl turned to him, accusing.
"Azure, we didn't think you could handle anymore," there was an odd looking girl behind Yami, she had blue eyes along with white hair and lips.
"You should have told me," the girl, Azure said.
Yugi and Ryou chose that moment to enter to shop, "Azure," Yugi said quickly "What's wrong?"
"Yugi," I finally spoke up.
His head snapped towards me and his jaw dropped "Ka-Ka-Kaiba," he stuttered.
Azure began speaking angrily in another language. I was surprised to find I couldn't identify it. Everyone else seemed to be able to understand her and at her words, Yugi looked like he was going to cry.
"Azure," he said reaching towards her, but she pulled away sharply snapping at him.
There was silence, and then the white haired girl said to me "You're despicable. This is your fault."
"What?" I demanded. How dare she, she clearly had no idea who she was dealing with. I drew myself up, preparing to verbally blast her, but Azure interrupted.
"It doesn't matter Ao. How he looks isn't his fault. Let him be."
The white haired girl, Ao smirked "What? I can't smite him?"
"Now you sound like Reb'd," Azure said smiling sadly.
"Red Eyes Black Dragon," I asked, thinking about the name.
"Shut your mouth," Ao said irritably to me.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked.
"Is there a reason you stopped by Kaiba?" Yami snapped at me.
I frowned and mumbled "I don't remember."
"Hnn. Bye then," Bakura said, his eyes flashing in annoyance at me.
Realizing everyone in the room seemed to dislike me, I cautiously backed out, still wondering what the hell had just happened. Whatever it was, I vowed to keep it in mind before stopping by the game shop again.
Yami
I was relieved when Azure's anger was not long lived, but I was troubled when I saw down sad she became. Slowly Azure's down spiral began. She spaced out a lot, slept little and ate even less. Even the tomb robber wasn't making a difference. After a week went by, we began to worry.
Kaiba
I was dead tired, but sleep wasn't an option right now. I still had work to do. I will not sleep. Repeating that phrase over and over in my mind did not help. Eventually my furious typing slowed to a crawl. I lowered my head towards my desk, and closed my eyes. Sleep.
"Welcome Seto," a warm voice said. The speaker had white lips, hair and blue eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"A friend," the teenage boy said simply. "Your much too old to play I suppose, would you like to talk then?"
"About what," I frowned, this was an odd dream.
"Anything you want Seto. It's your dream," the boy said.
He seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. "Wait!" I said suddenly "You look like one of the girls at the game shop! The one that said I was despicable."
"Ao," he said simply "the youngest of my siblings. You cannot blame her for her anger though Seto."
"I can't?" I asked.
"You did rip her card in half."
"You're duel monsters?" I gasped.
"Of course, what else would we be?"
"Is Azure a duel monster as well?" I asked.
"No, she's just a very sad girl," Dew replied.
"Why is she sad?" I asked.
"That," Dew said "Is not my story to tell."
"I'm sorry about Ao," I said suddenly "I never thought, I mean I never knew or meant to-," realizing I was rambling, I broke off.
Dew shrugged "Don't tell me. Tell her."
"So, you're one of my Blue Eyes?" I asked.
Dew smiled affectionately at me "Yes."
"Why am I here?" I asked.
"You tell me. You wandered in, I didn't bring you here. I haven't brought you here since you were very young. I used to play with you in the apple tree over there, but you grew up so fast, got busy with your company and winning competitions. You didn't want to play anymore."
Suddenly, I felt sad. Dew was right, I had grown up fast, but I had responsibilities. I had a company to run and little brother to take care of, "I'm sorry," I said.
"I'm not," Dew said "You've turned out to be a remarkable duelist Seto, and though you hide it, you are a good person."
"I am?" I frowned; everyone always said I was a rich jerk.
Dew rolled his eyes at me "Do you think Mokuba would idolize you so if you weren't at least a little good?"
I smiled, "I guess your right."
"Of course I'm right," Dew smirked "Now go back to work."
I blinked slightly, and sat up in my chair. Some dream.
Azure
To please Yami, I got a full night sleep and ate a muffin for breakfast.
"You're becoming more motherly than even Bakura" I informed him. He made a face at me, but ignored the comment.
After school Yugi and his friend Joey came by. I was flipping through Joey's deck when I suddenly stopped, eyes wide.
"What is it Azure?" Yugi asked me.
"That's Reb'd," I exclaimed.
Yugi grinned "I thought you knew Joey had Reb'ds card."
"Yeah, I thought you knew I had his card," Joey said, having heard a little about Reb'd from Yugi.
Yugi and I both snorted, causing Joey to ask "What? What'd I say?"
"Reb'd is a she Joey!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Oh, her card then," Joey said blushing.
"Do you mind if I try something?" I asked Joey.
He shrugged "Sure, go ahead."
I picked up the card and held it out in front of me "Come forth Red Eyes Black Dragon!"
Kaiba
There was a bright flash of light as I entered the game shop and I was temporarily blinded. What the hell were they doing in there?
Azure
"It worked," I whispered. Before me, stood a very confused looking Reb'd.
"Azure?" she questioned, somewhat confused.
"I can't believe it worked!" I exclaimed again.
"It's good to see you Reb'd," Yugi exclaimed.
"Hello little one," Reb'd said inclining her head "Pharaoh. And Joey Wheeler," her smile widened "It is an honor to finally meet you."
"That's my Red Eyes?" Joey asked faintly.
"In her human form," Yami supplied.
A moment later there was another flash of light, and Dew and Dree stood next to her.
"Dew!" I exclaimed excited.
"Oh, it was you that summoned Reb'd. I couldn't tell what had happened, Dree and I got worried," Dew said.
"Sorry," I smiled apologetically at him "I didn't even think it would work. How did you two get out?"
Dree smirked, tucking her white hair behind her eyes "Blue Eyes power Azure. My father can rip open a hole in the seal if need be."
"What are you two?" Joey asked them.
Yugi rolled his eyes "Dew is a Blue Eyes White Dragon. I'm not entirely sure what Dree is."
"A Blue Eyes? If your grandfathers Blue Eyes is here, that must mean he's one of Kaiba's!" Joey exclaimed.
"That's right Wheeler," a cold voice from in the doorway said "Congratulations on reaching that conclusion by yourself."
"Kaiba," Joey snarled, but Reb'd put her hand on his arm to stop him from doing or saying anything to Kaiba.
"How is Ao, speaking of her?" Reb'd interjected quickly.
"Doing better," I said.
"And how are you?" Reb'd asked.
"I'm okay," I said.
"Liar," Reb'd said back immediately. I blushed darkly, but didn't respond.
"So wait," Joey said suddenly to Dree "What are you?"
Dree smiled widely and turned her red eyes on Joey "I," she said proudly, "am a Red Eyes White Dragon."
Kaiba gasped and Joey frowned "I've never heard of that card before."
"How stupid are you Wheeler? That's because there is no card for her," Kaiba said.
Dew and Reb'd both looked at him sharply, but neither said anything.
"No card?" Joey repeated blankly "Am I missing something here?"
"You're missing a great deal of things mutt," Kaiba said dryly.
"Don't call me mutt Kaiba!" Joey yelled.
"Enough fighting," I interjected.
"I think Joey," Yugi began "What your not quite understanding is who Dree's parents are."
"Oh," Joey said "Okay. Who are your parents?"
"Reb'd is my mother," Dree began.
"Okay, I still don't get it. How come you aren't a Red Eyes Black Dragon?" Joey said.
Yugi and I suppressed a laugh and Kaiba muttered darkly under is breath.
"Because my father isn't a Red Eyes Black Dragon," Dree said.
"Oh, what's your father then?" Joey asked.
"My father is a Blue Eyes" Dree finished.
"A what, huh er, wait, one of Kaiba's monsters is you're, you're, you're." Joey stuttered on.
"Her father," Dew supplied helpfully.
"You're her father?" Joey asked, still in shock.
"Yes," Dew said simply.
"But how," Joey said.
Everyone stared at him, until smirking Kaiba said, "Do we need to tell you about the birds and the bee's Wheeler?"
Joey ignored him "I can't believe one of my monsters is in love with one of Kaiba's!"
"If it makes you feel better, they were in love long before either of you were born," Dree supplied.
"I don't really care. Wheeler won't have Reb'ds card for long. It's only by dumb luck that he got it in the first place. If it wasn't for Yugi, he wouldn't have even been able to hold onto her this long," Kaiba said.
"When the time comes, Joey will prove you wrong Seto," Dew rebuked him quietly, "You should not underestimate him so."
"Yeah Kaiba, you shouldn't underestimate me so," Joey said smugly.
"That does not mean you should let down your guard. You do not know everything. There are things you could learn from Kaiba, and things he could learn from you," Reb'd said.
Both Joey and Kaiba stared at her, horror stricken.
Unable to control our laughter anymore, Yugi and I burst out laughing. Yami looked highly amused. Even Dree, Reb'd and Dew were smirking.
"Time to go home, the counsel is not pleased," Dew said.
"The counsel," Kaiba asked.
"Counsel of Red Eyes, they don't like it when we rip open holes in the seal," Dree supplied.
I smiled slightly "Just ignore them. You always do."
Reb'd smiled back, "All the same, we should return home."
"Mama, can I stay here with Azure? Please, Please Mama? I want to get to know the little one! I promise I'll be good and I'll do listen to whatever Azure and Auntie Ao say," Dree spoke up, looking at her mother.
Reb'd glanced at Dew, who shrugged. In turn she glanced at me, saying "Your call."
I glanced at Yugi, it was not my house. Yugi nodded "I'd love for Dree to stay with us."
"Behave Dree," Reb'd kissed her daughter on the cheek, "Goodbye everyone, keep your eyes open," Reb'd said.
"We will see you in your dreams," Dew said after messing Dree's hair affectionately, and then they disappeared back into the Shadow Realm.
Mokuba
I ran down the street, out of breath. Where was big brother? He was late for his meeting with Jacob! Jacob didn't really care, he was entertained with my play station, but it wasn't like big brother to be late. He didn't really have any friends, besides Jacob, so I didn't know where to go. So I went to find Yugi, he always knew what to do.
"Yugi," I said as I burst into the game shop "I can't find-," I cut off as I saw big brother, and the most beautiful girl in the world.
She looked to be around my age. She had ruby red eyes and ice white hair and lips. I made up my mind right then and there. I was going to marry that girl.
Dree: More of me!

"Mama, can I stay here with Azure? Please, Please Mama? I want to get to know the little one! I promise I'll be good and I'll do listen to whatever Azure and Auntie Ao say," Dree spoke up, looking at her mother.
Reb'd glanced at Dew, who shrugged. In turn she glanced at me, saying "Your call."
I glanced at Yugi, it was not my house. Yugi nodded "I'd love for Dree to stay with us."
"Behave Dree," Reb'd kissed her daughter on the cheek, "Goodbye everyone, keep your eyes open," Reb'd said.
"We will see you in your dreams," Dew said after messing Dree's hair affectionately, and then they disappeared back into the Shadow Realm.

I ran down the street, out of breath. Where was big brother? He was late for his meeting with Jacob! Jacob didn't really care, he was entertained with my play station, but it wasn't like big brother to be late. He didn't really have any friends, besides Jacob, so I didn't know where to go. So I went to find Yugi, he always knew what to do.
"Yugi," I said as I burst into the game shop "I can't find-," I cut off as I saw big brother, and the most beautiful girl in the world.
She looked to be around my age. She had ruby red eyes and ice white hair and lips. I made up my mind right then and there. I was going to marry that girl.
