Aura - Thanks for Elizabeth-san for reviewing!! Big help!! ^^

And sadly, I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh in any form, if I did, nobody will like it now. BUT I own my OC's, so steal them and die.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaiba appears from nowhere to a dark room with lie detectors & stuff.

Kaiba: Aura is that you? Don't waste my time!! I have a
company to run, unlike you, you know!

Aura: Shut up seahorse!

Kaiba: O_O seahorse?

Aura: Yeah, when your name was translated from Japanese into
Mandarin, it's EXACTLY the same as seahorse. Oh and, did you
take poor little Mokuba's candy?

Kaiba: HOW can you NOT take it away when he is eating about
2 kilograms a day~!!

Aura and Reese: O_O (in unison) that is a lot!

Aura: Considering that I need a year to eat less than half of
it.

Reese: is it really something that you are proud of?

Aura: Yeah.

Kaiba: Stop your chattering and getting me out of here!!!
My Mokuba detector is saying that Mokuba is eating candy again!

Aura: O_O you have a detector that tells you if Mokuba is eating
candy?? Me wanna see!!

Reese: aren't you supposed to tell him about how to make
Mokuba stop liking candy??

Aura: Yah. Right. walks to Kaiba and whispers him something.

Kaiba: O_O....O_OU are you sure that its gonna work? It
sounds CRAZY!!

Aura: That worked on me when I was four years old, then I really
hated candy especially chocolate ever since.

Kaiba: what if it doesn't work? Will he get really sick??

Aura: don't worry too much Kaiba, I threw up at the time, but
still I do throw up a lot, so Mokuba might throw up a little bit
and then he will be afraid of candy for a few days, then he
won't like candy anymore.

Kaiba & Reese: O_O...O_OU

Kaiba: Reese, is your friend always like this?

Reese: Well, "never judge a book by its cover"?? O_o

Aura: NOW!! On with da fic!!! Maybe I'll tell you what I told
Kaiba to do.

Chapter 3 The Unexpected Meeting

When you expect the snowing clouds to be clearing away, they don't. But unexpectedly, it hangs around on top of you, mocking you, saying that it is a mistake that you left home.

Serika went back to her own downtown luxury condo and quickly finished her homework; she then left for a flower shop she spotted on the way back.

"Mommy, Mizaki. I finally came back to see you."

~~^^~~^^~~^^**~~^^~~^^~~^^**

Meanwhile, somewhere uptown, Yugi and his friends was waiting for the streetlight to turn to their favor so they can cross the street, but something playing on the TV caught their attention.

"Multi-Millionaire Nobuyuki Tsukishima has alarmed the police that his daughter is missing. Serika Tsukishima is 15 and she is already a known actress through out Japan and starred in 2 films, she is also the only daughter of Nobuyuki Tsukishima after his wife and younger daughter died 5 years ago.

Tsukishima is awarding anyone $1 million US to anyone that brings his daughter home."

The TV shows a photo of Serika and Yugi and his gang froze in place.

"But. it can't be possible! The new girl Yuzuki Shincho, and she just happened to show up in our school the day that the famous actress, who looks exactly like her, is reported missing??" Tea manages to choke the words up her throat while her friends are speechless.

"Oh my god. She is Serika Tsukishima!!"

~~~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~

Seto had just finished a huge pile of papers; he lied back on his comfy chair, halfly closed his eyes and was fighting the urge to sleep. He was just about to give in and snore on his chair when Mokuba give a shriek.

"What!?! Mokuba?"

To Seto's surprise, Mokuba's eyes were fixed on the TV, and it was surprisingly, not something stupid like something little kids watches, but the news. When Seto listened to it, he froze as well.

"Multi-Millionaire Nobuyuki Tsukishima has alarmed the police that his daughter is missing. Serika Tsukishima is 15 and she is already a known actress through out Japan and starred in 2 films, she is also the only daughter of Nobuyuki Tsukishima after his wife and younger daughter died 5 years ago.

Tsukishima is awarding anyone $1 million US to anyone that brings his daughter home."

'Serika!!' Seto thought. 'So that girl who dissed me so badly, yet sounds so familier was her. Why did I have so little memory of her? Why? Why remember the whole thing now?'

Seto's Memory was coming back to his mind.

(Aura: now my favourite part FLASHBACKS!!)

Flashback **~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

A young Seto arrived in a room with huge shelves of books, in the middle with a massive table piled with books an old man with a white beard and round spectacles was standing over a white board. And there is a light lavender-headed girl sitting on a chair near the table.

The huge-headed servant spoke to Seto, "Young master Kaiba, young mistress Tsukishima will be having lessons with you for the next two months, and her skill level is a little higher than yours."

~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~

"YOU CAN SEE WHAT??" young Seto and Mokuba shouted in unison, while the little girl sobbed onto her teddy bear.

"Blood of misery."

Seto and Mokuba stood there, speechless.

"Promise not to tell."

****************

The lavender-headed girl is now in the garden, prying into the dirt, trying to find something, a young Seto walks up to her.

"Serika what are you doing?"

"Looking for medicinal grasses. I saw pictures of them in a book and I want to try to find them here. Anyways, you'll need some of them for your arm, I hope it gets better soon."

"Cool. can you leave some here when you go away, I am never good at that."

"Sure."

"You are so good with the grasses, I think you can be a doctor when you grow up."

"I do want to be a doctor to help people."

The lavender-headed girl handed Seto a handful of grasses, and began to look again on the flowerbed.

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~

"I am very sorry Seto-sama and Mokuba-sama, but to protect my daughters, I must erase your memory, so it may never happens again." Rena said while giving the brothers milk and cookies.

"But."

"I have to protect Serika and Mizaki from getting hurt again. Gomenasai."

A blinding flash of light appeared and the memories stopped.

~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**

"Serika, Rena, Mizaki." now I finally have my memories back. Seto thought, quickly turning his attention to his little brother, who is now lying on the couch, mouth and eyes wide open.

It was a while before the little boy could focus his mind again.

"Seto. Rena she erased our memory to protect Mizaki and Serika. But now I remember all of it! She was really nice Seto! And we could never tell her secret to anyone but Rena erased our memories of her anyway. What if Serika was kidnapped? People can hurt her! Seto!"

The little boy sound scared.

"Don't worry Mokuba. I am sure she is all right. She is smart and she don't like places with people."

"So, to make me feel better, can we go to the park?" Mokuba pleaded with the puppy-dog eyes forming.

Seto couldn't say no the second that his eyes met his brother's. "All right."

"Can we walk there, too?"

"Fine. You do realize that this is January and it is snowing outside?"

"That makes it more fun. And I want to catch snow as it falls down."

"."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^********

Serika walked to the flower shop, avoiding looking at people on her way. She doesn't really like staring onto people's blood of misery, unlike some other people who will just die to see how miserable other people are.

But most of them don't realize that seeing other people's misery can be a very miserable thing to themselves.

Serika arrived at the flower shop and picked up white roses, white lilies, and red carnations. Those flowers had been her mom's favourite flowers, she used to put them in all of the vases at home, planting them in the garden. Serika and Mizaki soon learnt to love those flowers to. Their impeccable scent and structure make them the most beautiful flowers in the world.

In the summertime, the roses would creep onto the grid Rena had set on the wall and bloom there, and then the sweet scent will find their way into the house and spread into every one of the rooms.

She thought about her mother, Rena. Her mother loved her and Mizaki a lot, maybe more than she loved her flowers. Serika also know that to prevent other people knowing the family's secret, Rena had to erase Seto's and Mokuba's memories. Along by telling Gonsaburo to tell Seto and Mokuba that the whole family died in a tragic accident.

'It's been at least 4 years the last time I visited my mom and sister's grave. Thanks to my dad who prevented me from ever going to anywhere by locking me in that stupid old mansion. But mom. I came to see you again, with your favourite flowers, too.'

A tear rolled down her cheeks. She wiped it and saw a young mother and her small daughter enter the shop.

The small girl was barely covered in any blood clots, the young mother didn't have a lot of that either. The two joked and picked up flowers. The blood clots disappeared even more in their laughter.

Serika froze on her spot. She never knew that laughter could erase the blood clots around people. When she first realize what the blood clots she sees are, at the age of 5, she assumed it was all of the misery a person had in life, because she sees less blood on happy people and more blood on unhappy people. She also saw less blood on children than on adults.

But now, due to what she sees 10 years after the realization. Serika began to ponder if she realized wrong.

How can she think about it now! Another tear rolled down her cheeks as she thought of her mother and sister. Thinking of not going out into the public with tearstains on her cheeks, she quickly re-applied makeup and adjusted her hat. The hat is a very special hat; it had fake brown hair attached to it to conceal her own lavenderish colour.

Serika quickly rushed out of the flower shop and bumped into somebody. Serika couldn't blame them, the flower shop is on a very sharp turn.

The flowers fell out of her hand; she trembled back and fell on her bum. Keeping her down.

"Go- gomenasai." (I am very sorry)

"Watch where you step!" a familiar cold voice spoke.

"H-hai."

A black haired boy stepped in front of Serika with her flowers on his hand and offered to pull her up, but before doing that the hat fell off from Serika's head, revealing her lavender head and blue eyes.

"SERI."

Before Mokuba could even finish Serika's name, Serika put her hand over Mokuba's mouth and pleaded. " Please don't yell my name out, you might forgot me already, but the rest of Japan knows who I am, so if you yell my name, I'll be back at home quicker than a flash of lightening."

Serika removed her hand from Mokuba's mouth, put her hat back on her head, and got back her flowers from Mokuba and turned.

"So, after all of those years being your cousin and not able to talk to you. You finally bumped into them, and not even saying hello?"

Serika stopped and slowly turned around.

"Seto! I thought, I thought you don't know me anymore; I thought Rena had erased all of your memories about me! I thought."

Her words were broke by Mokuba's giant hug.

"Mokuba-chan!!"

"Serika-sama!!"

"Where are you going with all that flowers, Serika-sama?" Mokuba asked Serika with a confused look on his face.

"To see my mom." another string of tears has fallen; the whites of her eyes are slightly pink in colour due to the crying and the wind.

"But she is dead, Rena Tsukishima is dead."

"Shouldn't a daughter visit her mothers grave?"

"So, can we go with you? Seto and I was going to the park, but I guess that won't matter now. I want to see Rena and Mizaki, too. Is it okay with you, onii-sama?"

"Whatever kid."

"That means it's okay."

"You can come with me, I won't mind. I think they will be thrilled so see you after 5 years. And speaking of Mizaki, Seto, did you really fire all those people out of the company like Mizaki predicted?"

"As a matter of fact, I did."

Serika looked at her adopted cousin. He had gone a lot colder than the last time, 5 and half years before she saw him. She remembered when his eyes were a lot less icy, when he smiled a lot more, and when he was a lot warmer than now.

Nevertheless, Gonsaburo Kaiba can turn burning fire into icicles, I suppose Seto changed. But, Mokuba is still the same; maybe Gonsaburo's evil could be blocked in someway, after all. Serika thought and looked at her little cousin, who wasn't covered in much blood after all. In big contrast, Seto's blood clot was incomparable.

Her cousin felt her stare and turned. "That reminds me why did you insult me in front of the whole school, then call me idiot and baka?"

"I was trying to get your memory back. Guess it kinda worked, so gomenasai."

"It wasn't you Serika." Mokuba informed Serika, trying to keep up with Serika's fast walking pace.

"It wasn't me?" Serika asked, shocked.

"It was the news, your dad reported you missing to the police, now the whole nation is looking for you." Seto stated matter of the factly causing Serika to be frozen on the spot that she was standing.

"."

"Serika are you okay?" Mokuba asked, waving his hand in front of Serika's face.

"I can't believe it, that old bakayaro actually cared enough to report me missing to the police!" Serika exclaimed, and resumed walking again.

"Your dad?" Seto was shocked by the word 'bakayaro (asshole, isn't it?)' "Your real dad? The last time I checked, he was much better than Gonsaburo!"

"Well things change, and everything in my life changed when my mom and Mizaki died! My dad is no longer was he was before. I know that mom and Mizaki dying had a lot on him, and a saw a lot blood on him since, but he had no right to take it out on me and shove me in an acting career that I hate, I know I am living every girl's dream, being a movie star and all, but I still think that I should become a doctor instead. Now I have no time, because the next 50 movies will select me to act a part and not leave any time for me. So EXCUSE me for having such a crappy life!" Serika snapped at Seto angrily, and eventually turned into a sob, leaving the Kaiba brothers not knowing what to do.

Nobody spoke on the rest of the way to the cemetery, Mokuba was looking very sad, Seto was looking bored, of course, and a cold-hearted person like him wouldn't so anything but look bored.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~~*~**~~*~**~*~*~*~*~*

Aura: Well, sorry for a short chappie, but my keyboard was
getting dirty an I NEED to clean my keyboard or I'll die.

Reese: O_O okay, I am officially putting you in the
category of "Clean Freak" from now on.

Mokuba: Hi, Aura. (with a lot of chocolate marks on his
face.) Thank you Aura!! Seto finally give in and gave me all
those candy. (Reveals a HUGE bag of candy.)

Reese: O_O Aura! WHAT did you tell Seto to do to Mokuba?

Aura: I told him to give Mokuba as much candy as he wants, and
then he will probably over eat and throw up, then not like candy
anymore.

Reese: O_O() O_OU You are weird.

Aura: Hey, didn't a lot of people who knows me say that?

Reese: (Quietly moves away from Aura)

Mokuba: (is now on a sugar high, he is singing songs and
jumping around.) Oh. I forgot to thank you, Aura, here, have
some chocolate.

Aura: O_O that won't be necessary.

Mokuba: Shoves chocolate into Aura's mouth.

Aura: O_O x_x X_X faints.

Reese: MOKUBA!!! You shouldn't have shoved candy into
Aura's mouth, she HATES most types of candy and if you make her
eat it, she will throw up. or faint.

Well people, we just have to wait for the next chapter
when the authoress, Aura, wakes up.

Aura is still unconscious Mokuba is still on the sugar high and Reese is poking Aura with a stick to wake her up.
