KlebKat: Hello ya'll, this is ACT 3-KAT JOLLY and ACT 4-JOEY WHEELER AND DUKE DEVLIN. This act is a bit on the weird and hard to fallow side but it's the best i can come up with at the moment. Sorry. Dukes Jap name is used in this act and fic a bit latter on (a. cause it just wouldn't have that desired effect if it had been his English name. ^^;). Also... um... i forgot.
Everyone: *crashes to the floor*
KlebKat: Sorry. OH, NO, WAIT! I REMEMBER! SOLETMEDOTHISBEFOREIFORGETAGAIN!! SOMETHING'S WILL BE LOWER CASE TO HOPEFULLY EMPHASIZE WHISPERING AND MANTLE LINKING!!
I'll think that'll do it, so ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KlebKat: ..^? Hu? Sorry it didn't paste right the first time guys. ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!!
KlebKat: Did everyone enjoy last ACT? *looks to see that 16 people visited it, but no one reviewed or rated it) Well in 2 more ACT's, the actual story will began, right now, you're learning about the characters. Sorry, but you need to know us and who we like for this to work... 'Duelist of the Roses' YGO! game is a first person role-playing game so it's kinda hard to have a main character that isn't a Mary Sue or Gary Stew.
Erin: Plus Kassie has to do actual research on the War of the Rose since it was a real event in history. Joys of Timelines.
Shard: And joys of researching history that you DON'T have to write an essay on.
Kat: I think It'll be safe to say this will be a Mary Sue centered around the universe of YGO! but not really about the YGO! cast and with 50% of Duelist of the Roses included and the other 50% action/adventure/romance/actual history along for the ride.
Shard: but that's what makes the world go round ain't it?
Erin: Oniga, enjoy!
WARNING!! MARY SUE TYPE DEAL! OC'S (Kleb: namely us.) "this is when people are speaking in Jap and I'm too lazy to tell you that.", and 'thinking in jap... you get the idea I hope.'.

ACT II (because I like ACT's better.) KATHERINE JOLLY
Kat Jolly decided that it would be best to wait out side. She felt odd, being inside a Christian household. 'Kassie and Shard don't care that I'm a Wicken, but still...'
Just then, the door opened and her friends Yugi Moto, Shardy Johnson, Bakura Ryou, and Kassie Boyd came out, saying good bye to Waishi-chan, Kassie and Shardai's host for their stay.
A sudden force hit her head on and was imeedeitly resenting that she didn't have earplugs.
"KAAAAATTTT!!!" Shardai bounced and cheered happily, rocking Kat in her arms back and forth, only staying up due to her sheer will power. "WILL SOME ONE GIT DIS DRAGON OFFA ME!?!"
Kassie pawed over, trying with all her might to pull Shard from her current 'glomping post'. "Shardy, common now, let go of Kat, we gotta git ta school and you'll only git cut up and bloody if she hazta drag ya on tha sidewalk!"
"BUT I LOVE KAT!" Shard snuggled into Kat, making the whole situation not only embarrassing but also even more wrong to the sun cat and company.
****
"I like fantasy and adventure games, but I really like and prefer RPG survival horror games like Resident Evil and Clock Tower... Kingdom Hearts is a fav," Kassie stated, happy that her new friends wanted to know her likes and dislikes.
It had taken a few more moments, but Shardai was finally pealed from Kat by Bakura and Kassie, Yugi tugging on Kat from behind.
"Blag! How can you stand all that blood, Kassie?" Bakura said for Tea.
Kat had to wonder too. Kassie always seemed the concerned friend, but she also spent all her time alone, by herself, only really talking about Stephen King or the Savannah Reid Mysteries. Mostly, she noticed, Kassie seemed-almost happy-when weapons and death were discussed. She figured Kassie must have had one seriously screwed up childhood to find enjoyment in killing things.
"It's not all that bad; I prefer ghouls, killer monsters, and deathy stuff over anything."
Kat thought it odd, but was never really concerned with Kassie's state of mental health, she always figured to each her and his own. Shard on the other hand, that chick didn't have issues, she just had too much sugar and the pixie stix's and pokey they had gotten on the walk to school wasn't helping much.
Shard could be a bit of an airhead at times; some would probably call her a bimbo-a regular Serena-for the way she acted.
Kat thought more on her two friends, evaluating each's characteristics and quirks, not realizing that a blond Dog stood in her way.
Plowing right into the huge blue and yellow person, the black kat stumbled back and moved to the side, hitting her right hip in a black, metal railing.
Gritting her teeth, squeezing her eyes shut, and holding her hip, Kat stepped forward to the golden dork and kicked him squarely in the ankle.
"OW,SHIT,FUCK!" he screamed, lightly hopping on one foot as he held his ankle with both hands.
"TAKE THAT YOU IDIOTIC ASSHOLE!"
"WHAT! WHO DA HELL YOU CALLIN' AN IDIOT?! YER THA ONE WHO WALKED INTA ME, YA--"
Kat promptly slapped him, "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY!? I HAVE THE RIGHT OF MIND TO CURSE YOU--"
"JOEY, KAT, ENOUGH!" Kassie screamed at them, both quickly breaking the argument to look at the usually placid sun cat.
Kat had hated Joey Wheeler from day one, it always seemed that either Kat bumped into Joey or Joey would slam into Kat and one (if not both) would go flying into some kind of an object... or two... or a few.
The gang had started walking again, this time in silence due to the fact that if anyone even breathed wrong once that would set the tension off, Kat and Joey bickering once more.
Duke Devlin had joined the group by now, and hung in the back with Kassie, Kat, and Shardai. They stayed twenty paces back from Tristan Taylor, Tea Gardner, Yugi, Bakura, and Joey to avoided the wrath of what two nasty cats out of three could do to a poor, innocent, shaggy, and 'lucky' dog.
"...don't let joey piss you off," Duke whispered into Kat's ear, entwining his left had to her right and kissing the top of her head, the incredibly short, black, fuzzy hair rubbing against his face, "joey can just be an ass."
At the sheer mention of the mutt, Kat was about ready to loose it again but Duke quickly finished, "have i shown you him in the puppy-dog out fit yet?" He watched as Kat stopped walking, her eyes lighting up and an evil smirk crossed her face, giving her that cheshire cat look, "are they printable?"
Duke answered slyly, his own mischievous thoughts plaguing his head, "how many, when, and where?"
***
"dohes cats, they'ier scheamin' somethin' yuge," Joey whispered to his petit best friend, "an' i knows i'd don't like it!"
Yugi glanced back at the three cats and dragon, whishing back and forth that they were closer to them to ease Joey's mind.
"that damn otogi's wit 'em too!"
"Just leave them alone, Joey, I'm sure they'll leave you alone."
"...bet they'll ask stupid, jackass kaiba..." the rest of Joey's grouching was muttered and mumbled; nothing coherent and several phrases were braked out with non-understandable force.
'Without Kassie, how on this earth am I going to keep Kat, Otogi, Kaiba, and Joey from killing each other?'
It was true; Kassie was not in the same class as the other seven.
'Heck, she isn't even our grade! Come November, she'll be eighteen while everyone else will be seventeen.' Yugi drooled a moment at the though, 'Wow, I'd bet anything that being a senior is cool! They don't have to worry about the major finals or bullies picking on them...'
//'you think a lot about her just being a senior, don't you abou?'//
Yugi flushed a bit, /'well, hai yami, i think kassie's really something. Seniors work really hard to get where they are in america, they don't have to take compendensey tests just to graduate from middle and get into high school, they have to make the grade.'/ he could fell his darker side smirking, /'i think i've been re-inspired to give school my all.'/
//'good for you, abou, i know you'll make everyone proud.'//
/'thanks yami'/
***
//"i take back the fact that i called her a bitch."// Evil Bakura stated in his mind link, the group listening to Kassie as she told the story of 'Jeepers Creepers', an American horror flick. They were out of school now, sitting outside under a huge weeping willow in the park.
/"you only like her because she likes gore."/
//"is there something wrong with that?"//
/"you're both mentally disturbed."/
"Hey, Bakura?" Shard asked.
"Hai, I mean, Yes?"
"Are you into Duel Monsters, you never answered Kassie's question."
"Um... well, yes, I do have a deck but I play very little."
"Cool!" Kassie blurted loudly, "Then howzabout we have a duel? I haven't played in forever!"
//"accept."// Yami Bakura commanded coolly to his Angel.
/"W-W-W-WA-WA-WHAT!!"/
//"YOU HEARD ME; ACCEPT!!"//
"Don't worry, Bakura, Kassie hasn't really played in any major tournaments so she shouldn't be too hard," Kat stated, blissfully unaware that the shock and confusion on his face was not Kassie's direct fault.
/'i don't want to play right now...'/
//"then i'll play against her."//
/"WHAT!"/ but evil Bakura wasted no time switching places with his Hikari and smiled viciously at the sun cat; his long, sharp locks twisting up into small horns on his head, but seemed other wise normal. "Ok, Kassie, I'll play you, but what if we make a small side bet?"
Kassie smiled, glancing away to pull her deck box from her satchel, her, and the others oblivious to the change, "Sure, like what?"
"Well, what were you planning to do later?"
It became so quite that a pin being dropped would have shattered the air itself as everyone turned to look at Kassie and Akeifa.
"Uh," Kassie blushed, "um, nothing really... other than the Japanese class latter."
/"what are you going to do to her, Yami?"/
Kassie glanced quickly around, now so embarrassed that she did not have the heart to continue with the duel. "Maybe we should do this later," Kassie said in a small voice, "Please excuse me." After politely exchanging some words, Kassie stood up and gently pushed through her group of friends. She walked out from under the tree, pieces of her long, shimmering rusted colored hair catching on the soft leaves to the willows' branches.
"Kassie?" Shard squeaked as she watched her friend leave the room.
"Oh, good going," Kat stated, promptly hitting the back of Akeifa's head.
"What... did I... do wrong?" the spirit asked dumbfounded.
"Ok," Kat continued, "this is how Kassie works: after years of being picked on, she's scared half to death of people, looking like an idiot, and pretty much everything -and that includes little mistakes that anyone could make- embarrasses her. She hates talking in front of people she don't know extremely well and being put on the spot; I think more or less she has Social Anxiety Disorder and a sever case of depression."
"Kassie?" Shard asked again, wishing her friend was still under the tree laughing and joking around.
