Hey ho! Sorry it took a while to update, I've been working on this during
study halls (heeheehee) because I really don't have the time at home
"Let's go with the walk away idea," Yugi suggested.
"I'm all for that one," Yami agreed.
"Oh really?' Tim asked.
"What makes you think we won't?" Duke asked grimly.
"Well, considering that we do have the two youngest of this group at our mercy." Jimmy's voice trailed off.
Everyone looked at Cam. He held Serenity's arms pinned behind her back, twisted so she was wincing in pain, and in his other hand he had Mokuba by the collar of his shirt.
"Leave," Serenity gasped through the pain.
"No can do sis," Joey said, pushing up his sleeves.
"So, violence is the only way to solve things around here it is?" asked a cold female voice.
Everyone looked. Fyre stood silently in the shadows, watching. She looked different than at school, her outfit was completely changed. Now it was loose black pants, and a pale green 3-quarter-sleeved shirt, with the same shoes she'd had on at school. A pair of figure skates was slung over her shoulder, and her headphones were around her neck.
Stepping from the shadows, she glared at Cam. "Let them go," she said, her voice slicing through the air like knives. "What were you really going to do to them anyway?"
Cam, Jimmy and Tim all looked at each other. "Well, see." Tim began.
Fyre cut him off. "I thought so. Most bullies don't have pre-thought out plans for victims. They usually beat them up and leave them. All you have to do is ask what their plans are and you've pretty much got them backed into a corner. They don't have an answer, they never do."
" What makes you so smart about that?" Duke asked.
"I'm special," Fyre said, "and personal experience." She walked off.
"Wait," Tea called.
Fyre turned. "What?"
"Mind if we tag along to the rink?" Tristin asked.
"Well, leave me alone once you get there, I don't really care," Fyre said.
Kaiba caught up to her. "What is with you?" he asked.
"Meaning what?" Fyre snapped.
"What happened to you to make you so cold and uncaring about people?"
"Nothing. I just prefer to be alone," Fyre told him.
"And I hate going to school parties and dances, so please tell your friends to not ask me."
"Um, ok," Kaiba, agreed.
"What did she say?" Mokuba asked.
"Don't ask her to any school parties or dances, and she likes to be alone."
"Soooooo social," Joey commented.
They arrived at the rink ten minutes later. Only one person was there, most schools didn't have the next three days off, so students were scrambling to get homework done. Domino High didn't have school for the next three days; there was some kind of teacher workshop going on.
"Hey, isn't that Fyre?" Marrik asked, watching the girl skating.
"It is," Tea whispered.
"She's good," Bakura noted.
"Figure it out by yourself did you?" Marrik asked.
"Yup!" Bakura grinned.
"Let's go slowpokes!" Yugi called.
He, Yami, Duke, Serenity, Tristin, Mokuba and Kaiba all had their skates on and were ready to hit the ice. The others quickly slipped their skates on and joined the waiting group.
"Great," Fyre thought, "looks like I have company. Oh well. As long as they don't bother me, I'll be fine."
She skated for another five minutes before she realized someone was calling her name. Stepping up into a neat spin she halted her routine, reached into her pocket and hit the pause button on her CD player. Slipping her headphones off she looked around to see who had dared to call her out of her skating trance. Serenity waved her over. With a sigh, Fyre skated over to the group.
"What?" she demanded. "In case you couldn't tell, I was working."
"Yeah, we could tell," said Marrik.
Fyre ignored him. "Why did you have to bother me?"
"Hey, will ya quit bein' so mean and snappy already?" Joey asked.
"No, and I'm not being any different than I usually am," Fyre retorted. "And don't go saying that I'm usually a cheerful, happy little girl, off in her own world, without a care. I know me better than you do and the last time I was carefree, and showed emotion was about twelve."
"Girl, you need to lighten up," Tristin told her. "Go to a school dance, come hang out with us, do something to lighten your life."
"I like my life," Fyre told him. "Or I did until you came and started trying to reorganize it. I had a nice little pattern woven for myself, and I rather liked it."
"Fyre, stop," Kaiba told her. "You're being like I used to be, and all I did was earn hate from most people. It's not the best way to go starting a new life in a new city."
"I don't really need you telling me how to live either," Fyre told him. "However, I am far more likely to listen to you than that idiot."
Tristin glared and was about to say something when he found he couldn't talk.
"What's wrong?" Joey asked, noticing Tristin trying to talk and being unable.
Fyre smirked. "He was getting on my nerves, so I stopped him from talking."
"Mage, witch, sorceress, what are we here?" Bakura asked.
"Well, I prefer to be called a sorceress, but mage is another term that I'm not going to kill you for using in reference to me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish this pattern." She turned to skate away, only to find that Kaiba had caught her arm.
"Let me go," she said grimly. "Silence spells aren't the only thing I can do. And I really don't think you want to find out firsthand exactly what all I can do. I'll use you as a test subject for one of my elemental spells if you'd like. It would hurt like heck though." she let the sentence hang.
"Fine, go skate," Yami told her.
"Try apologizing to Marrik first, will ya?" Joey asked.
"No," was all Fyre said before hitting the play button again and picking up in her routine like nothing had happened.
"Now what?" Serenity asked.
"Well, it's just her and us here, let's enjoy some ice time," suggested Tea.
Everyone agreed, stepping back onto the ice. Laughing and talking they watched, and occasionally helped, each other fall and get back up.
Joey noticed his sister was quieter than usual, watching Fyre skate.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Well, she just looks so, well, lonely out there, all alone," Serenity told him.
"You heard her, she wants to be left alone," Mokuba said.
"Yeah, but why can't she be more friendly?" Duke asked.
"I said it before, and I'm sticking to my statement of before, she's like Seto used to be," Yugi said.
"Is that even a fair comparison?" Duke asked.
"Yes," Marrik grumbled. "she was like that when I knew her a while back too. Some people just can't change."
"Where does your story start anyway?" Tea asked.
"Who? Me and Fyre?" Marrik asked.
Tea nodded.
"Can we just say in Egypt and leave it there?" he asked.
"No, explain," Tristin told him.
"Fine, though it's going to be your fault if she kills me," Marrik.
Faiire's note: hey all. Thank you to the 2 people who have bothered to review. I'm assuming that either no one else has bothered to read this, or that they have hated it so much that they felt it didn't deserve a review. People!! I don't really care if you hate it, review!!!! However, if you dislike it because I did something to your favorite person, then too bad and stop reading. These people are not going to change who I've turned them into, and I really don't know how much of a love fic this is going to be. Yes, there is the whole Marrik thing, but Fyre says how she feels, and she does say that she'll never love him. Don't count on any Fyre/anyone. She's not some love struck girl!!! By the way, I will put what I'm going to call "author/character chats." They'll be just me and the people from Yu-Gi-Oh "chatting."
AUTHOR AND CHARACTER CHAT:
Faiirie: hi all
Cast: oh dear, this will be bad.
Faiirie: hey, I won't do anything do you, unless you annoy me.
Tristin: I hate it that Fyre can use magic.
Faiirie: too bad. You're not one of my favorite characters, so I'll be nice and mean to you. *grins evilly*
Tristin: *gulp*
Fyre: mind if I join you people chatting here?
Faiirie: come on in, my good friend.
Yami: you two know each other?
Fyre: well, she did create me. stupid Pharaoh. Why does he have to lack so much intelligence?
Faiirie: HOLD IT! Yes, I know that look Yami, you want to kill Fyre and I say you can't
Yami: *walks out*
Kaiba: I kind of like the way you've created Fyre. She's not some pathetic girl who's in love with me.
Fyre: *looks up from some computer thing* glad you like me, I think, and no, I'm not trying to imply anything.
Faiirie: ok, goodnight everyone. Some of us are not able to go on almost no sleep. I may be immortal, but I still need sleep.
"Let's go with the walk away idea," Yugi suggested.
"I'm all for that one," Yami agreed.
"Oh really?' Tim asked.
