Last Time on All Alone:
"Nanako!" He grabbed both of her arms. "Where did you go? Mokuba was so worried about you!"
She didn't hear him when he whispered, "I did too."
She grabbed him by the arm and twisted it to his back.
"So, Mr. Kaiba. I see that you still remember me. Well, don't you ever touch me again, unless you want me to kill you."
She let go of his arm and sat down.
Seto, shocked, just sat down, rubbing his arm.
'Nanako, what happened to you?'
Chapter 10
The day went slowly for Seto. He just couldn't forget the look in her eyes when she twisted his arm around. Speaking of, his arm still hurt. When did she get so strong? What happened to her? Where did she go?
At the end of the day, Yugi and his gang were walking out of the school.
Leaning against the brick wall was Nanako. She had her eyes closed and arms crossed.
Joey's face brightened. "Hey, Nanako! What up?"
Blushing, Nanako walked over to the group shyly. "Um, nothing..." She blinked her eyelashes a few times.
"Wanna come to tha game shop wit Yugi and me?"
Of course, she accepted. When they arrived at the game shop, Yugi's grandfather greeted them with a kind face.
"Hi, kids! How was your school day? Ah, I see we have someone new! What's your name, miss?"
"Nanako Ayumi, sir."
"Ah, stop with the sirs! Just call me grandpa, like everyone else!"
Nanako felt so welcomed here. 'Maybe life wasn't so bad after all.' She thought.
While the whole group of people was eating snacks, Joey glanced at Nanako.
"Hey, Nanako? Can I talk to you for a moment?"
No one looked over at Joey.
"Um... sure! What is it?"
The two of them walked into the hall.
Jeoy's face was very serious.
"What's wrong, Joey?"
"Where did you go, Nanako?"
"Well... I-"
"Why, why did you leave us like that? Don't you know how worried we were? I mean, even though we didn't know you that well, why did you just disappear?" He started to shake her shoulders.
"I-I... was-"
"Miss Ayumi?" Yugi's grandpa walked into the hall. "Your... er... uncle is on the phone. He wants to speak with you."
"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Moto!"
Nanako hurried out of the hall and into the kitchen.
"H-Hello?"
"Ah, my bluebird! Is life finally familiar to you, as I told you? Is your life story true?
Nanako's eyes went dull.
"Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. What can I do for you?"
"Oh, you are too kind! Hmm... well... I want that Joey boy to like you. No, LOVE you. Then, call me. Once you do that, I will show you more memories. Soon, you will get your memory back, and you will thank me."
With that, the man got off the line. In truth, the man on the phone was not really her uncle. She knew it was the man that showed her her memories when she woke up. It was just a code name he used, just for her. He told her that she was special, and that he would never let anyone harm her. Why would he go through all of this trouble, if he wanted to harm her at all?
Her eyes brightened again as she walked into the living room.
"Sorry about that, guys. Had to take a call!" she smiled.
~*~ In the Kaiba Mansion ~*~
Seto was sitting in his secret office
"Greetings, Seto Kaiba. Long time no see. What can I do for you today?" The computer asked.
"Find the name Nanako Ayumi."
"Yes sir!"
"I've found it! This girl is 17 years old, and is currently going to Domino High School. She has lived in America and Japan. Is there anything else you want to know?"
"Where is she living?"
"Hmm.. let's see. Ah! She is living... in the Kaiba Mansion? But sir, wouldn't you know that?"
"WHAT? She isn't here anymore!" Seto pounded his fist on the desk.
"Nothing I can do."
Seto glared at the computer. Who took Nanako? Well, I guess I'll have to see. I know who ever took her MUST be planning something, he thought.
~*~ Meanwhile... Yugi's game shop~*~
"Joey? Could I... talk to you, for a moment?" Nanako whispered softly.
"Yeah, sure! Let's go back in the hall."
They walked out of the living room, where everyone was watching Yugi and Tristan play their favorite video game.
Tea looked at their retreating figures.
"Hey guys," she whispered to Mai, Yugi, Bakura, and Tristan, "What do you think all of this whispering is about?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure it's private. Maybe we should just leave it as it is," Yugi replied. After all, it was none of their business if the two didn't want them to hear anything.
"How's this... we go listen by the door!!" Mai grinned.
"Well, the door IS open... maybe we could jusst watch from here." Bakura murmured.
"FINE. We'll see what they say," Mai grumbled. She didn't want her crush to be stolen away, and she didn't want anyone else to know of her feelings for Joey.
They stared at the blushing girl and confused boy standing in the hall. Their lips were moving, speaking of unheard words.
"Hey, Nanako. I'm sorry about shaking you from before. It's just... we were so worried. I know, I know, we never really knew each other, but ya know..." Joey started.
"That's okay!" Nanako beamed. "Well, I want to tell you something...."
~*~ Kaiba mansion ~*~
'Okay, I have tracked down where Ms. Nanako Ayumi is. It is.....'
After hearing the address from the computer, Seto rushed out of the hidden room. He jumped into his limo, dragging his suitcase behind him. He stuffed his Duel Monsters cards into his coat pocket and crossed his arms. Why the HELL was she hanging out with the geeks, when she could be staying with him? He will take the chance to tell her how he feels about her now, since he didn't have the chance a long time ago. He would tell her that he loved her, and that she would never leave his heart. Even if she rejected him, it was expected.
As the limo came to a stop at the Game Shop, Seto was already very impatient.
He rushed out of the door.
~*~ Game Shop ~*~
"Well... see... I...." Nanako started to stutter.
"Yea, what is it?" Joey was getting worried. What was she trying to tell him? Is it... what had happened?
Mai was also worried. She was suspecting that Nanako was about to say something embarrassing. She could tell by the blushing.
'Oh no,' she thought. She walked next to the door before anyone could stop her. Not one of the two people in the hall noticed her.
"I..."
Seto barged into the store. He climbed up the stairs and was a bout to enter the hall.
"I LOVE YOU, JOEY!!"
Joey was stunned.
Seto was stunned.
Mai was.... Shocked.
"wow... I didn't know that you felt this way..." Joey smiled a little.
Seto... well.... He just left. He knew it. He just knew that he would never have a chance with her. Oh well. She would have left him anyway. They all do in the end. Only Mai saw his expression, and noticed his presence. She was close to tears herself! What if.... Joey liked Nanako back?
"I see, well. I will understand if you don't feel the same. I will just... try my best to let this... past. I will ju"
A pair of lips cut her off. Was.... Her crush kissing her?!!
Her face turned red.
Joey broke away and said, "I love you too. I just never thought you'd feel the same way about me."
Mai just turned away and left through the emergency exit.
"Poor Mai..." Tea whispered. The whole group had seen the whole thing... except for the part when Seto had come in. Nanako screamed loud enough for them all to hear how she felt. Sure, they were happy that Joey had someone, but they also worried about Mai. She had liked him since... well... forever.
