Change of Heart

Chapter 6

Dream Sequence

Summary: This drops that much-needed flashlight on the Kai, Seto, and Okami triangle. Or Trinity. Whichever you want to call it.

"Come on, punk," two boys said, one boys holding Mokuba Kaiba. "I know you have something for me."
"Why don't you leave him alone?" Kai Hiwatari asked, dashing toward the other boys. His head made contact with one boy's head. Alarmed, the two boys ran away. Kai walked up to Mokuba. "You okay?"
Mokuba looked up. His eyes gawked into the eyes of Kai.
"Leave my little brother alone!" Seto Kaiba shouted, grabbing Kai on his scarf. Kaiba's fist made contact of Kai's face, shoving him back. "Now you'll know to leave him alone."
The word rang in Kai's head as Mokuba and Kaiba walked away. Alone, he thought. I've always been alone. He got up and began to walk toward a cherry blossom tree, where he heard a laid-back music. "Who's up there?"
There was no reply.
"Well?"
Still no reply.
"Bad-mannered, huh?" Kai said, placing his Beyblade in the launcher. "Go, Dranzer!" He fired Dranzer into the branches. "I can be bad-mannered, too."
The music stopped, and Kai heard a sound of something being caught. "Hey, what's the big idea?" a girl Kai's age asked, jumping down the tree, landing right in front of him. "You shouldn't chuck your toys at people. You'll lose them that way." She threw Dranzer back to Kai. "What's your name?"
"I'm Kai," he answered. For some reason, he couldn't stop gawking at the girl. Her hair was blistering red and her eyes are dazzling blue. "What's yours?"
"Trisha," the girl replied. "Why did you throw your toy at me?"
"To get you down," Kai said. "I heard a strange music, and I wanted to know who's making it."
"No reason to throw your toy," Trisha said. "You could have broken my Howler." She showed off a Beyblade with the symbol of a wolf. "This is my only memory. If you broke it up, you wouldn't be living right now."
"The wolf bares her fangs," Kai commented. He stepped back, bumping into somebody. "What the?!" He turned around, seeing Seto Kaiba in front of him. "What do you want?"
"I'm sorry for hitting you," Kaiba said, his eyes on the ground. "Mokuba told me how you saved him."
"You mean. you hit him because he saved your brother?" Trisha asked.
"And I just asked for forgiveness, so get off my case," Kaiba hissed.
"No problem," Kai said, shrugging. "So, what's your name?"
Kaiba stared angrily at Kai, then his face softened. "Seto Kaiba."
"I have an idea," Trisha interrupted. "Why don't we be friends and look out for each other? We could even have code names."
"And how would we go about that?" Kaiba asked.
"I'm Suzaku," Kai said, holding up Dranzer.
"I'm Okami," Trisha said, holding her Silver Fang. "How about you, Kaiba?"
"I'm Seriyuu," Kaiba answered.
"Then it's settled," Trisha said, holding Kai and Kaiba's hands. "Together, we're the Trinity."
