yami bakura: dear Ra, did she just have a sane moment??
yami: without rambling or ranting??
yugi: i'm scared...
nyc: oh, i don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and the elemental witch pointed out how Amethyst seemed kind of "perfect", but don't worry, she has flaws and all of her talents fall into place when you hear about her sad past, some of which is in this chapter!! well, once again thanks, and pwease read n review!!
~*~
As the school day drew to a close, not only were Yugi's friends talking about Amethyst's adoption, half of the school was!! It seems that when the new girl from New York City is legally family to the King of Games, word spreads fast!!
But since it was Friday, after school everyone ran to get home and team up with friends, just as Yugi and crew(minus Tea, since nyc isn't too fond of her nyc: she's so WHOLESOME!!)did. After they arrived at the game shop, and Yami and Yami Bakura were released (unbeknownst to Amethyst), they tried to think of something to do...
joey: Nutin' on t. v.
yugi: We've already dueled.
tristan: So bored...
yami bakura: Stupid, boring mortals...
amethyst: Again with the 'mortal' thing?? Fine, if no one will think of anything, why not Truth or Dare??
joey: 'Ey, sure why not??
yugi: Count me in!!
tristan: What else is there to do??
yami: Ummm...Sure.
yami bakura: What is this 'truth or dare' game??
bakura: Well, you ask a person 'truth or dare??'
joey: Then the person you asks picks one.
yugi: If it's truth, then you have to answer a question no matter what it is.
amethyst: And if you choose dare, you have to do whatever that person tells you *smirks* No matter what...
yami bakura: Humph!! Like I'd play that!!
yami & amethyst: Scawed Bakuwa??
yami bakura: NO!! Start the stupid game!!
yugi: Great, I'll go first!!
yami bakura: I will!!
yugi: Fine.
yami bakura: Joey...What's it again??
all 'cept yami b.: TRUTH OR DARE!!
yami b: FINE!! Truth or Dare??
joey: Sheesh, no reason to yell. Dare me.
yami b: Ummm...I dare you to...Call up Kaiba and admit to him you're a dog!!
joey: NO!!
yami b: It's a dare, you can't back out!!
joey: *grumbling walks to the phone, puts it on speaker, and dials Seto's number* Hello, Kaiba??
seto: What do you need beagle??
joey: Well, ummm...
yami b: SAY IT!!
seto: Who the hell was that??
amethyst, yami, tristan, & yami b: SAY IT!!
seto: Say WHAT?!
joey: Seto-you're-right-I'm-a-dog-and-you-were-always-correct!! THERE!! I said it!!
seto: *cracking up, then hanging up*
joey: I hate you...
yami b: *laughing*
amethyst: Don't we all??
yami b: HEY!!
yugi: Joey, your turn!!
joey: Ummm...Yami, truth or dare??
yami: Truth.
yami b: Wimp...
yami: Shut it...
joey: Okay, I was hoping for dare, but anyway, what do you sleep with at night??
yami b: Yugi.
yami: Shut it...And I sleep with nothing but a pillow.
yugi: Liar...
yami: What??
yugi: I'll tell them...
yami: Fine, I sleep with a teddy bear that Yugi gave me for Christmas.
yugi: Named??
yami: Mr. Fluffles...
yami b: HAH!! That's priceless!!
yami: Anyway, it's my turn. Bakura, truth or dare??
bakura: Ummm...
yami: No, the other one.
yami b: Dare me pharaoh, I'm not afraid of your wimpy dares!!
Now Yami had the perfect, and I mean perfect dare for Yami Bakura, but he needed a volunteer. Definitely not himself or Yugi, Bakura has to live with the guy so no, Joey and Tristan might prove to be funny, but Amethyst would be even funnier!! (A/N: Just telling you, I can't write yaoi, and yami b. isn't paired with amethyst!! He's with Bakura!! This is just a funny dare that I came up with while half-asleep!! No flames!!)
yami: I dare you...To hug Amethyst for a full minute straight.
yami b & amethyst: NO!!
yami: If you keep protesting Bakura, I'll have you kiss her...
amethyst: Dear Kami no!! Just give me the damn hug!!
yami b: Stupid pharaoh...
Amethyst and Yami Bakura inch closer together and are looking at each other warily. The whole room is silent as they each glare at each other as Yami Bakura wraps his arm around her in a loose embrace so that there's six inches in between Amethyst's face and his neck since she's shorter...
yami: No, you have to pull her in so that you're real tight and she has to hug back before we even start the watch.
amethyst: YAMI!!
yami: Sorry, but I'm getting the best out of this dare...
The two go back to glaring at each other, but they each draw closer to end the stupid dare. She put her arms just above his waist, and he roughly jerked her forward...
amethyst: Hey, I'm breakable you know!!
yami b: I just want to get this dare done with quick!!
amethyst: Same here, but you don't see me beating you up!!
joey: *laughing*Hey Yami, there's still a good inch in between them!!
tristan: *cracking up*Yea, shouldn't she have her head on his shoulder or something??
yami: You're right, go ahead and do what they said.
The duo drew ever closer to gether and Amethyst rested her head on his shoulder. Yugi walked in with a stop watch, being the only one not rolling on the ground laughing...
yugi: Okay, minute starts...now!!
yami b: I hate them all...
amethyst: after this, I say we figure out ways to hurt them!! HEAR THAT YAMI?! DON'T FORGET, I LIVE WITH YOU NOW!!
yami: Oh well, I'll just have to get a photograph to remind me of this touching moment!!
yugi: Thirty seconds left...
bakura: Take it Yugi!!
tristan: Yea, the happy couple!!
yami b & amethyst: SHUT UP!!
yugi: *takes seven or eight pictures* Okay, times up!!
Yami Bakura and Amethyst each push the other away, and proceed to scoot as far away from the other as possible...
amethyst: Yugi, give me the camera, and I promise to never threaten you...
yugi: Too late, Yami hid it.
yami b: Damn!!
yami: *still laughing*
yami b: Fine then, truth or dare Yami??
amethyst: You can't ask the person who asked you.
yami b: Fine, you want to butt in?? Truth or dare Amethyst??
amethyst: After seeing the dares being pulled off already, I go with truth.
yami b:*thinking up some evil question*What happened to your parents??
yugi: That's not fair, she shouldn't have to answer that if she doesn't want to.
amethyst: It's fine, I would have to tell you sooner or later, wouldn't I??
yami b: Well, go on.
amethyst: Okay, but it's not a happy story. My Mom was engaged to be married in three months, and was out to the movies with four of her friends. They were on the way to the car out of the movie, when five guys came up from behind and attacked them. They raped them, but my Mom was the only one who got pregnant. When she heard this from the doctor, she went to her fiance and asked if they should call the wedding off. But they had been together since senior year in high school and all through college. They had grown up together, and helped each other out of bad times, like when each of their parents died. And they had shared so many adventures, from moving from Japan to NYC, and going on an archaeological dig in Egypt since they were archaeologists. He agreed to adopt the baby, me, and treat as if it was his own. They had the wedding, and seven months later, I was born.
Life went pretty peaceful, the case went to court when I was six months old and all five men were put away for life. But one night, my biological father broke out from jail and came to my home. He stepped in and shot my Dad. Then he went upstairs to where my Mom was tucking me in, I was about three, and said he was going to shot me in order to erase all of his mistakes. My Mom jumped in the way of the bullet, and it hit her right in the chest. When he realized what he had done, he raised the gun to his temple, and that was the end of it all.
The cops arrived within two minutes since the neighbors had called 911 when they heard the gunshots. I was told that I was found next to my Mom, who was lying in blood, while stroking my hair, telling me to never forget how much she loved me and how I would have to be a good girl without her.
After a police officer walked me out to the car, my Mom gave something to the doctor on the ambulance. She knew she wouldn't make it, and she gave him something she had been saving until I was older. It was a ring she had found in the digging site, pure gold, and she always wanted me to have it. Since she knew she wouldn't be there to give it to me, she asked if the orphanage or people taking care of me would give it to me on my tenth birthday. As soon as the doctor said he would do just that, she thanked him and died.
Well, that's my past. Happy now??
yami b: Ummm...
Everyone, even Yami and Yami Bakura seem to have softer sadder eyes right now after hearing Amethyst's past story...
amethyst: C'mon, you would've heard sooner or later.
yugi: Yea, guess you're right.
joey: I'm hungry...
tristan: Yea, I haven't eaten for two hours.
bakura: *sarcastically* You poor things.
amethyst: Well, let's go out to eat.
As the group walked out the door, acting normally, Yami hung back, walking slower than the others, contemplating something...
yami: *thinking in his head* She's just like her. Even her past is the same almost. But I'll never see her again. Why couldn't she have joined me in the puzzle?? Why did she have to stay behind and fight??
joey: Hey Yami, hurry up!! I'm starving!!
yami: Coming Joey...
Yami wasn't the only one thinking inside of his head. Amethyst seemed to be having an inner conversation of her own...
amethyst: *thinking* Should I tell them??
???: No, not yet, although I think Yami is beginning to remember.
amethyst: But when will I tell them??
???: Soon, soon enough...
~*~
nyc: hey, finally finished chappie 3!! well, what did you think of her past?? i know that it seems a cliche of my original characters to be orphans, but it's a lot easier to place them in the story when you needn't worry about home life. And who is Amethyst talking to inside of her?? Please review with suggestions, thoughts, or ideas about the fic!! TY MUCHOS!!
