OK, I own Fyre and this plot! Got it? Good.
DARKWITCHCHICK: thanks for taking the time to review all the chapters!! You rock! Yeah, ok, she and Yami know each other because of random Egyptian stuff, they were friends, and Yami's father decided that it would be nice if she and Yami got married, and she never was in love with either of them. Yeah, I thought about making people fight, and that might happen later. Glad you like listen/reading about me and the characters yelling at each other! Um, well, I think Tristin is going to be one of a few characters who get on Fire's nerves really easily. I don't know how detailed a duel it would be if they do decide to duel, but I'll see if I can find a way to make it happen. Thanks again!

Fyre looked up. "Well, here, I'm just hiding who I am. I'm Fyre yes, but there's, well, something else." Her eyes were a dark grey now. "I can't really talk about it."
"I understand. It's fine," Seto told her.
Fyre pushed up her loose sleeves, and Seto gasped. "What happened?" he whispered.
The Park With Everyone Else:
"Fyre is really starting to worry me," Tea said. "I mean, she seems like she'd be really sweet and kind, if you can get through to her. But it's like she just can't let people get near her."
"Maybe she's always moving around, and she never settles down to stay, so she avoids getting close to people," Joey suggested.
"Maybe," agreed Tea, "but I doubt it."
"I hope that she's able to connect to someone," Duke said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fyre's place:
Fyre gazed at her forearms for a moment, then shook her head. "Please, you really don't want to know, do you?"
"Fyre, you're injured. Those are not normal scars. Something happened to you. What was it?" he asked, his voice soft.
She just shook her head. "It's nothing."
"Something happened, and you can't hide it."
"No, I swear, it's nothing. I don't even remember when it happened. I was really young at the time."
Seto shook his head. "You're lying. I can see it. You're just not saying what happened."
Fyre was suddenly cold. "I'm not ready to talk about it. Maybe I can do it later, but not now. I've already left what I had, where I was comfortable, and the few people I trusted completely."
Kaiba was shocked into silence briefly. No one was ever willing to talk back to him, not even his brother. "Well, whenever you're ready to talk, I'd like to know. No one deserves to be hurt that badly."
Fyre shrugged. "You do realize that we're done with this project, right?" she asked.
"Hey, I didn't notice. You're really good with the history," he told her.
She shrugged, then a wicked gleam surfaced in her eyes. "You want to take more notes on it?" she asked wickedly.
"NO," Seto cried. "I never want to hear or read about it again! Though," he added, "you really know a heck of a lot about this boring subject."
"Yeah, not everyone finds it boring," she said as she put the book back. "I actually could go on for a while longer.."
"Please don't, it's scary how much information you seem to be able to retain about things," Seto told her.
Fyre's eyes turned green. "It's not fair," she murmured, half to herself.
"What isn't?" Kaiba asked.
"Well, everything really, but don't let me get into all that. I could really rant on the topic, and you really don't want to hear me. No, the thing I'm talking about is actually you," she told him.
"Me? Why me?" Seto asked, looking very shocked.
"Well, you said that I was someone who could break through that wall of ice around you. Well, that's about how I feel," Frye told him.
"Really?" he asked. "Why?"
"Well, you might have noticed that I'm not all open and friendly to everyone. I, like you, have a wall around me. And I also have no heart. But I've learned that being open and friendly isn't the way to go. Sometimes, especially if you're like me, you need to be alone, and not let people get close to you."
"Why can't you open up and let people come into your life?" Seto asked.
Fyre sighed. "I live in secrecy. No one knows me, and that can't change."
"I think I understand, and I'm guessing, based on what you've said, that you're not," he paused, "well, you're not, well, really, fully human," he said.
Fyre's eyes turned bright gold, then to a pale, deep red. "What have I said that makes you say that?" she demanded.
"Well, you've said that you live in secrecy and that no one can get close to you. That right there implies that there is something that people can't know about you. It could just be something that you've had happen, and don't want people to know about, but I think it's more that you are something. Though the scars on your arms say that something happened to you, but I think that the scars have something to do with the fact that you're not really human."
"And.?" Fyre prompted when Seto stopped speaking.
"And what?" he asked.
"Fine, you saw me use magic, right?" she demanded.
Seto nodded.
"what do you people in this city know about magic?" she asked.
