Chapter 3: Cathy......not Cathleen? (Part 2)
Sorry, about the really long wait, I'm trying to learn Japanese. Then after that I want to learn how to read it. I've been using all my free time studying. If anyone knows Japanese and is willing to help me out e-mail me and title it "Learning Japanese".
Oh, pay very close attention to the titles and the times I have put through out this chapter. Most of the things are happening at the same time. And one more thing, Bakura is now Serenity's lover. Bakura is so cute; I couldn't let him go girlfriendless. Lol!

Somewhere in New York
The woman turned the next corner. Her long Egyptian dress flowed behind her and her millennium necklace shined brightly in the sun. Suddenly, the lady stopped; someone was following her. She could tell that the person was female and was very experienced at hiding herself. The woman turned around to face her follower. "What do you want from me?"
"Isis Ishtar; I was sent to bring you to your brother. Will you come willingly or not?" A smirk formed on the young female's lips, who had just appeared. She was wearing a long black cape with a hood, which covered her eyes. It was Ruby.
"I will only come willingly if my brother has learned the error of his ways. If not," Isis glared, "I will not come with you." She then turned around suddenly her tan colored cape flowed in the wind behind her. She needed to get as far away from the girl as possible.
Ruby smirk grew into a twisted smile, her vampire like teeth showed greatly. "Oh, so you wish to run from me?" She stepped back into the shadows of the buildings. "You should have come willingly."
Isis stopped, fear greatly showing in her face. She looked around slowly, trying her hardiest to sense Ruby's presence. "I have heard of you. You're my brother's right hand girl, one of his pets!" Isis whispered venomously.
"A pet? You dare call me a pet" Ruby suddenly appeared in front of Isis and pointed her right index finger at her head. "Good bye, love!" She stressed the last word.
Isis's eyes grew wide, knowing her fate, yet not ready to accept it. She could feel herself get weak and felt the hard cold concrete rub against her body as she fell on it. This couldn't be her end, right?
Central Park 12:00pm
The sun had reached its highest point. Shining its rays on the green leaves of the trees and showing all the people in Central Park how good life was. People ran, biked, walked, and jogged by Yami as he stood there covering his eyes. "Sunglasses, why didn't Yugi buy sunglasses?"
Hey don't blame this on me. Remember you're the one suffering.
Yami, not wanting to start a fight, closed his communication link with Yugi. He needed to put his whole mind into finding Cathy. Looking around he saw a man and a women having a picnic, some kids on a swing, and a young boy savagely killing a caterpillar.
Sighing sadly, Yami continued his way through Central Park. After much walking he sat down on a near-by picnic table. His eyelids, suddenly feeling heavy started to close. And soon the King of Games was fast asleep, lost in his own dreams.
Central Park 2:00pm
"AHHHHHH!"
Yami screamed as he felt ice cold water splashed on him. It ran down his back making him feel very uncomfortable. Shivering with anger and coldness, he looked up at the person who had splashed the water on him. A girl with long black hair and violent eyes was staring back at him. She was wearing a mini skirt and a black tank top.
"You really shouldn't sleep in Central Park. You will so look like a hobo." The girl then put on her sunglasses, which were resting on her head, and walked away. Her hips swayed slightly as she made her way towards the exit of the park, her cool attitude grabbing everyone's attention.
Yami smiled, it was Cathy! He finally found her, well......she found him. "Wait!" He jumped up from his seat and ran after her. "I'm so glad to see you again. We need to talk." His hand grabbed her shoulder, whirling her around, so that she was facing him. They stared into each other's eyes for a second, until suddenly the girl whipped out her hand and slapped Yami.
"Let go of me you pervert!" She yelled angrily, pushing him away from her. "I don't care who the hell you are but leave me alone." The girl's face was flushed as she stared at Yami, ready to hit him one more time. Her hands were balled up into fists and she slid her right foot back so that she was in a fighting stance.
Yami placed his hand over the place where the girl had hit him and stepped back a bit. He was unsure of what to say; Cathy had just suddenly hit him. His eyes widened as the truth dawned on him, she was still mad at him, of course. Regaining his cool, Yami stood up straighter. "Cathy, I wish for you to forgive me for last night. I do not know what I did to make you angry, but I hope that we could sit down and–"
"Wait!!!! How do you know my other self?" The girl looked at him surprised, letting her guard down. She ran her left hand through her hair. What in the world did Cathy get into last night? The girl's eyes widened as she tried her hardest to get the words out. "Please.... don't tell me....." She looked down at her stomach. "Cathy you whore!!!!! You got me pregnant!!!!!" The girl slumped to the ground in agony, wondering how Cathy could do this to her.
"Huh?!" Yami stepped back from the girl, worried. Looking around, he noticed that everyone in the park was staring at him disapprovingly. He shook his head, a big sweat drop falling from the side of his face. "I didn't get her pregnant! I'm still in high school!!!! Oh, man..."
Pulling herself together, the girl got back up ever so slowly, "So...I'm not..."
Yami turned back to her, "Don't worry you are not."
The girl let out a sigh of relief, "Anyway, my name is Cathleen. You must have been the person Cathy wanted to see." Cathleen's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh yea, I bumped into you at the Chinese Restaurant. Sorry about that."
Yami nodded. "Don't worry about it...but I would like to see Cathy again and I would like to know why you don't remember what happened last night." He crossed his arms in front of him, getting back to being his normal, stern self.
Cathleen sighed. "About to my apartment. It's just a few blocks from here. I can explain everything there." She started to walk away, not looking back to see if Yami was following her.
Yami slowly walked after her. He noted that she was pretty attractive with her long black hair and her very confident walk. He sighed; there was something weirdly familiar about Cathleen. Was it because she acted just like her other self, or was it because she seemed so much like Tèa?
Hyatt Hotel 12:00pm
Mokuba skipped happily back into the hotel, a huge smile on his face. He had just gotten a wonderful idea. Seto, Tèa, and him should all go to ice cream. Such a wonderful thing couldn't be the beginnings of something evil, right?
Mokuba made his way to the lobby and was surprised to see Tèa and Seto in a deep conversation. He quickly crouched down behind a seat not to far from where the two were siting so he could hear what they were talking about.
Tèa flipped the pages in her book absentmindedly, then looked up at Seto who was sitting directly across from her. "So you really think Mokuba took your cell phone?"
Seto leaned back and crossed his arms, looking intently at Tèa. "Yes, I do. But I don't know why he would take it if he did. I took off all of the games on my cell phone so that I won't get distracted."
Mokuba shook his head, confused. "I don't remember taking my brother's cell phone. I just went out to get some fresh air......" He muttered.
"Hey kid. What are you doing?"
Mokuba jumped slightly. He turned around scared, only to see Joey crouching down next to him with big, curious, eyes. "You're listening to their conversation right? Strange how Seto and Tèa are talking to each other......"
Trying to keep his cool, Mokuba turned back to look at Seto and Tèa. "Yes, it is strange." He looked back at Joey, only to find him missing. "He must have left to do something...." Mokuba mumbled. "Sometimes that guy freaks me out......" He then crawled away from where Tèa and Seto were sitting.
"Okay, just wait a few minutes then walk back in." Mokuba told himself. He stood near the hotel's doors glancing every once and a while at his watch. He then walked back to the lobby seats. "Hey, Seto! Hello Tèa!"
"Mokuba......" Seto get up from his seat. "Do you know what happened to my cell phone?"
"Sorry, bro. I don't know what happened." Mokuba then smiled. "Hey we should all go out to the ice cream shop next door!" he quickly grabbed Tèa's hand, pulling her up form her seat, and ran out towards the door. "Come on Seto! We need you to pay for it!"
Ice Cream Shop 12:30pm
"Wow! This is great!" Tèa said, after taking a lick out of her chocolate ice cream cone. Smiling happily, she looked around. It was a normal ice cream shop, with small tables and low chairs. And as always only one person helping serve the customers.
Seto sat in the opposite seat from Tea. He sighed. Why was he so nervous? He had talked to her easily about Mokuba, but now......
"Hey, Seto? Are you okay?" Tèa looked worriedly at him.
Seto turned away from her, "Yea, I'm fine......" he replied roughly.
After Mokuba picked up Seto's and his ice cream, he started walking back to their table, which was not to far from the entrance. He smiled; he was so happy to see Seto and Tèa siting together.
Mokuba......my little mind slave, I need a favor from you. But it's not like you have a choice anyway
Mokuba's eyes suddenly turned dark black, he walked over to the place where all the napkins were and threw his ice cream in the trash absentmindedly. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a small container containing knockout drops. He smirked evilly as he poured the whole thing into Seto's ice cream.
"Here bro!" Mokuba smiled sweetly as he handed his brother his ice cream cone. "You better eat it now before it melts."
"Thanks Mokuba, but didn't you get one for yourself?" Seto held the cone in his hand, slowly bring it closer to his mouth. Vanilla was his favorite flavor, and he was hoping that it would help him take his mind away from Tèa.
Mokuba kept smiling, "I had changed my mind, but I better head back to the hotel. A show I want to watch is coming on. See you guys when you come back!" He waved goodbye to them, then opened the ice cream shop door and walked out.
Seto turned back to Tèa only to see her licking the last bit of her ice cream off her fingers. "That......was fast......"
Tea blushed, "Well you better start eating yours. It's melting."
"Oh, right......" He brought the cone up to his mouth and started licking it. After a few licks he stopped. "Don't you think it is strange how–"Seto's eyes widened, and he slipped of his seat. He fell into darkness, hearing Tèa's voice become softer and softer. "Seto, Seto!"
"Seto! Seto, you jerk get up! Don't scare me like this!" Tea yell angrily, yet sadly. She was sitting next to Seto on the ground, leaning over him. Why had he suddenly fallen out of his seat? What was going on? She grabbed his shoulders shaking him, but he wasn't waking up.
Looking up from Seto she looked around, noticing that everyone in the ice cream shop was staring at her. "Uh.....um....I think he may just be sick.....I'll take him back home....." Tea said quietly. Propping Seto up, she was able to carry him on her back. And she wrapped her arms around his legs, so that he wouldn't fall. "You so owe me for this Seto Kaiba."
After getting help from one of the customers in the ice shop in opening the door, Tèa raced out. She had to get back to the hotel, and ask her friends what she should do with the knocked–out Seto.
Mokuba stepped out from the shadows of an alleyway after Tèa had pasted. There was no emotion on his face; no sadness; no happiness; no nothing.
"You have done well, my mind slave." Mokuba's controller stepped out from the shadows. It was Marik Ishtar. He grinned evilly, Seto would be out for weeks, and all he had to do now was get Yugi out of the way. But that should be easy, Marik thought.
As Marik was enjoying his so-called victory over Seto, a small tear fell from Mokuba's eyes. It inched down to his cheek and dropped onto the concrete. Was Mokuba.....crying?
Hyatt Hotel 12:15pm
Joey sighed as he wandered aimlessly around the hotel. At first it was fun looking around a huge hotel, but after awhile you notice that all the business meeting rooms looked the same.
"Guess I should take a nap then......" Joey muttered to himself, getting out of the elevator on the 15 floor. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, and made his way to his room.
As he was absentmindedly unlocking his room door, he heard someone call out his name. "...Joey..." It sounded like Mai. He glanced at the room door next to him, Mai's room, and noticed that it was slightly open. "...Joey..."
Joey slowly opened up Mai's room door. "Mai? Ya in there?" Looking around, he saw Mai sleeping peacefully in her bed. She wasn't wearing much, just a spaghetti–strap top and mini shirt. This was her so–called "sleep wear".
Mai suddenly turned in her sleep. "...Joey..." She mumbled.
Joey blushed suddenly. Maybe I should check to make sure she is ok...
He thought. He inched closer to the bed, then leaned over the sleeping Mai. "She looks so–"But he never finished what he was saying, because Mai had just woken up.
Mai's eyes widened as she saw Joey leaning over her. She flushed with anger. "JOEY YOU PERVERT!!!!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!!!!!" She suddenly slapped Joey hard on the cheek.
Hyatt Hotel 12:30pm
Joey stood outside of Mai's room holding his cheek in pain. He looked to the side thinking. What a vicious woman...all I was doing was making sure she was okay...
The door opened and Mai stepped out. She was now wearing her normal clothes; the matching purple skirt and jacket. She glared silently at Joey, before turning to walk down the hall towards the elevators. That......that into my room like that, scaring me out of my skin....
Joey's eyes widened and he walked after Mai, his left cheek still stinging. "Hey, Mai, I'm really sorry, I just thought–"He was suddenly cut off by Mai.
"Want to get some coffee with me, Joey?" She said not even turning around to look at him. "I need to talk to you alone."
Joey smiled, "Sure."
Starbucks 12:45pm
"So, Mai, what did you want to talk about?" Joey asked, siting opposite of her, sipping on his coffee, though he hated the stuff. Mai must want to ask me out or something......I wonder what I should say..... Joey was grinning to himself, as he thought this.
Mai leaned in closer to Joey, her face only inches from his. Her right hand looking like it was about to rest itself on Joey's. "Have you noticed that your sister has two guys after her?" She said suddenly.
Joey suddenly slipped out of his seat. He was so expecting her to say something else. Quickly pulling himself together, he got back up. "Who are the two guys?"
Mai started at him. "Are you blind? It's Tristan and Duke, you idiot!"
Joey's eyes widened, "WHAT?!"
Cinema 12:15pm
"For once Tristan, I think you got a pretty good idea."
"Shut up Duke!"
Serenity, Tristan, and Duke were standing in front of a movie cinema somewhere in New York. They had taken a taxi to the place seeing how it was too far away to walk to.
Serenity was wearing a red short sleeve top with a pink heart in the middle and light blue jeans. On her head was a matching red hat. Tristan was wearing bark blue jeans and a long sleeve black jacket. And Duke was wearing leather pants, ((I can't remember......is it leather pants he wears? Or normal jeans? I gotta look that up.)) a no sleeve blue shirt, and a multicolored bandana.
"So what movie are we going to see." Serenity asked. "I heard there is a new romance out call Cherry Blossom Memories."
"I thought that was a horror move." Duke looked up at the list of movies playing as he said this.
"It don't matter let's watch Guns and War!" Tristan yelled triumphantly, as he walked up to buy the tickets.
"No way I'm not watching that. Let's see More than just Luck." Duke said pushing Tristan out of the way.
"No! Serenity wants to see Guns and War!"
"No! She wants to see More than just Luck!"
"No! I want to see Cherry Blossom Memories!"
"Not now Serenity! We are fighting over what movie you want to see so sit down and relax while we argue!" Duke shouted at her.
"Yeah, Serenity! This could take awhile! But don't worry, we'll get to see Guns and War."
"Shut up Tristan! She wants to see More than just–"
"No she doesn't want to see that!"
Serenity stood there, getting angrier and angrier. Tristan and Duke were not listening to her opinion. And she hated guys who don't listen to her when she had something to say. "...That does it......I'm going back to the hotel...." She mumbled, calling for a taxi.
Tristan and Duke weren't paying attention. They were too busy fighting with each other to listen to the girl they both had crushes on.
Hyatt Hotel 1:00pm
A high school boy with sort–of spiky white hair walked into Hyatt Hotel. His blue eyes scanned the area, before landing on the check–in desk. The boy then picked up his luggage and gracefully made his way there.
"Hi, I'm here to check in. I heard from a friend of mine, Mokuba, that this is the place where my friends were staying." The boy's light and quiet voice made the lady–attendant helping him blush suddenly.
"Y-yes sire, and y-your name i-is?" She stuttered.
"Ryo Bakura."
"Oh, y-yes y-you are r-right here." The attendant sighed slowly. "I will get someone to show you to your room." She said, surprisingly without stuttering.
Bakura formed a perfect smile. "Thank you."
The attendant turned bright red, then quickly walked away.
"THOSE JERKS!!!!! I CAN"T BELVEIVE THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO MY OPINION!!!!!" Serenity stormed into the hotel, flushed with anger, and tears in her eyes. "I WILL NEVER GO TO THE MOVIES WITH THEM AGAIN!!!!!"
Bakura turned to look at Serenity. His eyes showed concern when he noticed that she was crying. "Are you okay, Serenity?"
Serenity looked up, noticing Bakura for the first time. "Oh, sorry." She quickly wipes her face and puts on a sad smile. "I'm fine." But then suddenly her smile turned upside down into a small frown. "No I'm not fine!" Suddenly she runs to Bakura and hugs him, crying her eyes out. "Guys are jerks! Jerks, jerks, jerks!"
Bakura slightly blushed, but he slowly put his arms around her, holding her tight. "It's okay Serenity......it's okay." He didn't know why she was crying, but she needed someone to be there for her, and at the moment, he was the only one she could count on.
End
Short List of Thanks and Other Such Things
What did ya think? Should Bakura and Serenity get together in the next chapter or should I prolong it? And was it too weird for Serenity to cry over a movie? I think it was okay. I would cry too if two guys weren't listening to my opinion and just ignored me when they were the ones who invited me out. If there are any mistakes please tell me, but nicely!
Now for some thank yous! Don't worry I'm making this short. I would like to thank materiathief06 for noting the part about Marik, read his review if you want to find out what I am talking about, and also for asking about Bakura. As I can see you can see he is now in this story. But his dark side is gone. I like him better without his dark side. He is so cute. Guys with long hair are hot! Anyway......I'm thanking Chi Yagami for always reviewing, which makes me want to get my chapters out faster. And last but not least all the other kind people who reviewed and put me on their favorites list. n.
I also wanted to say that I will go back to my Harry Potter story sometime and fix it. I will make it cuter and funnier, but without making it sound stupid. I will explain more about the game and you will meet new characters and stuff. I will change the story around, but Draco and Cho will still be together. I will also switch in-between the two stories. One time I will update Harry Potter, the next time Yu-gi-oh. I hope that is okay with all of my readers. Please read Harry Potter Game 4 after I fix it!
Okay, now a summary of the next chapter, hopefully it will come out faster than this one did, but I doubt it. The next chapter is too juicy lol!
Chapter 4: Forced to Help and Forced to Care
(I love this title!!!!))
Yami has to spend the night at Cathleen's apartment after some strange thunderstorm starts up. Cathleen seems okay with the idea, but is Cathy? And what about Yugi?
Bakura, with the help of Serenity, settles himself into a hotel room not to far from the rest of the gang hoping to bump into them tomorrow morning at the breakfast table. Suddenly just as he is getting ready to sleep he hears a small knock on the door. Low and behold!!!! It's Serenity!!!
Seto, getting over his sudden knock out, sleeps peacefully through the storm until Tèa suddenly appears in his room scared. Will Seto let Tèa stay in his room or kick her out the door to let her get over her fear of the storm by herself?
