Chapter Three
Amber's Haunted History

"The arcade," Amber said as she stood in front of the arcade holding Joey's hand, "The place I go to escape the wrath of Seto." Joey laughed slightly at what Amber said. Amber put her free hand on her hip and looked up a Joey. Joey stopped laughing.

"I'm dying to know what Seto is to ya anyhow," Joey asked as he started to walk Amber into the arcade. Amber shook her head and turned a pink color. Was she was a little embarrassed.

"Dare I say it," Amber said with embarrassment in her voice, "He's my step- brother. He puts my family name to shame." Joey grinned. He looked as he was going to laugh again. He loved it that someone else didn't really like Seto.

"Oh," Joey said with a grin, "you are cruel. I like that." Amber smiled as she looked around the arcade. Many people were whispering and pointing. They all seemed amazed that Amber was in there. A little boy suddenly ran up to Amber.

"Are you Amber Kaiba," the little boy asked with a sparkle in his eye. Amber nodded and kneeled down. She smiled slightly at the little boy.

"Yes I am," Amber said with a bright smile, "How may I help you?" The little boy's eyes lit up. He quickly grabbed a card out of his back pocket and handed it to Amber.

"Will you sign my All-Seeing White Tiger," the little boy asked cheerfully. Amber smiled and nodded again. She grabbed a pen out of her back pocket, gently took the card, signed it, and handed it back to the little boy. This time, the little boy's whole face lit up.

"Oh thank you sooooooo much," the little boy said as he started to run over to an older boy, "Looky, she actually signed it." The older boy nodded and looked at Amber as she stood up. Joey looked kind of stunned. Amber turned around and faced him. She blinked a few times at Joey's expression.

"What's wrong Joe," Amber asked as she started to look at Joey lovingly. Joey shook his head and smiled. Amber smiled back.

"It's nothing," Joey said as he started rubbing the back of his head, "I just got a little shocked that you have fans." Amber put a finger to her lips. She started thinking. Joey thought she looked really cute how she was standing.

"Wu-up," Ethan said as he suddenly appeared behind Amber and put his arms around her neck, "I won't expect the step-sister to Mr. I'm-To-Good-For- Anyone here in a public arcade." Amber turned around, shoved Ethan, and backed up Joey. Ethan looked a little disappointed.

"For your information Mr. Johnson," Amber said as Joey put his arms around her waist, "I've been to this arcade on more then one occasion." Ethan shrugged his shoulders like he did care. Amber crossed her arms and started tapping her foot.

"She even has fans here," Joey said with a slight glare, "She just got done signing a kid's Duel Monsters card." Ethan looked a little shocked now. He crossed his arms and stared at Amber.

"I only have fans because I'm a first class gamer," Amber said with a confident voice, "I'm a toped ranked Duelist, whose signature card is The All-Seeing White Tiger. I'm a hard-core game player. Every game in this arcade was been beaten by me with the highest score. If you don't believe me, check. It should say KAI at the top." Both Ethan and Joey looked like their jaws were going to hit the ground. They looked at each other and them at Amber. Amber smiled as Joey shook his head. Joey quickly grabbed her hand and started walking over to an Air Hockey table.

"Shall we talk over a game," Joey asked as he looked back at Amber. Amber nodded and smiled slightly. Ethan shook his head and let out a disappointed sigh.

A little later, Amber and Joey were still playing Air Hockey. Amber had already beaten Joey to a ratio of fifteen to zero in games alone. Joey wasn't about to give up though.

"So," Joey asked as he pegged the puck, "Seto and Mokuba were adopted into your family. Who does your regular family consist of?" Amber hit the puck really hard back at Joey. She maybe short and really skinny, but she had some force behind her.

"You mean," Amber said as she waited for Joey's return shot, "who DID it consist of." Joey hit the puck and looked over at Amber. She didn't look upset. She looked more angry.

"What do ya mean," Joey asked as Amber shoved the puck back at him. Amber scored because Joey wasn't really paying any attention. She put her hands on the edge of the table and gripped it.

"My biological family is all dead," Amber said as her face seemed to flash with more anger, "and I could care less. Seto and Mokuba were more like brothers then my own twin brother. I think it was our father's fault that Noa didn't bother to notice me when he was alive though. Our father was abusive after all. Noa was killed at the age of ten, my mother was killed shortly after, and my father committed suicide because Seto and I turned against him. We took Kaiba Corp. from him. He couldn't stand getting beat by two kids. I really don't care anymore though. Seto and Mokuba are the only family I need." Joey put down his paddle down and walked over to Amber. He slightly hugged her. Amber didn't even shed a tear. She seemed to have hatred for her family.

"It's ok Amber," Joey said as he continued to hug Amber, "I sorta know how ya feel. My parents are divorced. My mom took my little sister, Serenity, and my dad kept Amanda and me. I wished we could've went with mom too. My dad is an alcoholic with a gambling problem. We're always running out of money, we're in major debut, and our father is very abusive too. He won't hesitate to throw a beer bottle at you. Amanda has threatened to move in with Seto, but our dad says she would have get pregnant by him first. I'm afraid that she might just do that some day. He told me the same thing. If I ever wanted to move in with a girlfriend, I would have to get her pregnant first. He won't let us leave. Luckily, our mom is trying really hard to get us away from him. I hope she does it soon. Amanda's really getting pushed to her limits." Amber shook her head and finally hugged Joey back. She felt really bad for him.

"Why don't we get some ice cream," Amber said as she looked up at Joey, "It might help get our minds off our troubles." Joey nodded and started leading Amber over to the Snack Bar. Amber still looked a little upset. It wasn't her family history that was getting to her, it was Joey's. She hoped he could work everything out.

Amber – oh my, Mr. Wheeler is mean

Joey – (crossing his arms) you're telling me

Joy – I can be meaner

Amber – (grabs flamethrower again)

Joy – but I won't be ;

Amber – that's a good yami

Amber – (runs in between Joey and Bakura) ENOUGH

Bakura – agreed
