Chapter 8:
note: my name has now been changed to Pyro instead of Flame
Pyro: Sorry it's taken so long to put this up but I've been extremely busy. My yami as you probably heard from my note has taken a vacation with her boyfriend, so I'm left all alone. Once again I DON'T own Yu-Gi-Oh! but I truly wish I did. Here it goes:
Kaiba awoke with a sudden jolt. He had had the weirdest dream about Rosetta's past. He looked around and found he was still in Rosetta's room. He was dripping in sweat and Rosetta was leaning over him looking very concerned. When he sat up, he realized he was on the floor.
"Oh my gosh, are you ok?" Rosetta asked. "I'm so sorry, this often happens to people when I try to show them something using my powers."
"I'm fine." Kaiba replied. He looked up into Rosetta's concerned brown eyes. Something about her didn't seem right anymore. "I…I have to go." He got up and quickly walked out the room.
"What was that?" Kaiba asked himself when he was back in his own room. "All of a sudden she didn't seem like the same person I knew. Not that I knew a lot about her before but she seemed…different…" He shook his head. "Whatever, not like I should be concerning myself with a mere human." Whoa. That definitely didn't feel right. He walked over to the mirror. Nothing seemed different about his appearance except his hair seemed a little lighter than he had remembered. Whatever, he was probably just tired. After all, the scar he had on his chest was healing and from what he remembered from Biology, it took a lot of energy to heal a wound or broken bone.
Kaiba took off his shirt to see what was left of his wound. It looked as if the T-shaped gash in his side was most likely going to scar. He fingered the other scars he had along his arms, stomach and back.
"Damn Gozuboru..."

Kaiba woke up the next day to see a surprise a waiting him in the kitchen. Rosetta was up and cooking, but not only that, but in a school uniform. Kaiba was extremely stunned. Sensing his presence, Rosetta picked up the frying pan which contained eggs and put it on a plate. She smiled.
"I hope you like your eggs over easy."
"Where's Tori?" asked Kaiba rather harshly.
"Oh, I gave Tori the morning off, I hope you don't mind. I made lunches for both you and Mokuba." She smiled pointing over to two paper bags sitting on the counter.
Kaiba would not give in to her kindness. "What are you doing in that uniform?" he demanded.
"Yesterday after everyone had gone to bed; I called the school and bought a uniform. I'm now an honorary student at Domino High, or at least I am until I remember where I came from." she replied.
"Ok, then how do you remember what grade you were in and further more, how did you get the money to get that uniform??"
She explained she had some gold pieces in her old clothes that she used to trade in for some yen to buy the uniform.
"I don't really remember how old I am, but from the looks of it, I think I'm about your age, and you said you were in grade 12 didn't you?"
"I might have said that. But how did you get to the bank to get the money and to the school to get the uniform all last night?" Kaiba asked. He had it all figured out. She must have known about Domino High before she came here and had the uniform hidden somewhere in her clothing or bags. Then when she had seen his mansion, she acted like she was amnesiac to get free food and shelter.
"You guys were in bed at eight. The bank was open until 8:30 and the school's shop was open until 9." sensing his suspicion, Rosetta turned the subject into food. "Do you like hashed browns?" she asked Kaiba. Mokuba walked in, still looking a little groggy.
"Mmm. Smells good Tor…" he stopped mid-sentence and jumped back. "What are you doing here? Where's Tori? Why are you in a…" Rosetta cut him off before he could finish his sentence with hashed browns and fried eggs.
"Eat up, you only have 20 minutes before school starts. I'm going to get cleaned up." and with not another word, she left the room leaving Seto standing next to the oven looking blank and Mokuba completely bewildered.
