You're Only Deceived Once

By SariaSubi-kun

A/N: Sorry, SorceressVanessa, that wasn't blood! It was something else! Ooooh…what could it be? You might find out in this chapter! Remember: crimson red eyes.

(by the way, Irakaedu is said eer-a-kay-doo and Tou is said like 'toe')

And, I also found out how to do the é in Téa! Woor!

Another thing: I think, according to the manga, Joey's dad is either violent or drunk. And, according to the anime, Serenity's and Joey's parents split, and his mother took Serenity. So, for Joey's past, I'm making that, while the two siblings were separated, Joey's old man kicked the can, and Serenity's mom is letting her stay with Joey, alrighty? If there are any corrections you want to point out, tell me.

Chapter 11

                "I not that dumb, but I can pretend," she sang as she washed the car, singing then a slurred, "The sun is gone, dadadada," to the lyrics she didn't know. She pushed a piece of blue hair, her mouth pouting in an annoyed fashion. "The day is done, but I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy." She finished the car and it rolled on the line to the person who would dry it, then the waxing machine, etc. The car wash was a pretty fun place, as long as you could sing while you worked.

                "Miss Anazaki! Stop singing!"

                Apparently you couldn't.

                Matsu grumbled. What, I can't even sing my lovely Nirvana? Come on. It was hard to remember the fake last name she gave her boss, but it seemed she had to give him something. As long as he didn't find out it wasn't her real last name…and as long as he didn't find out she had no last name to begin with.

                "Matsu Anazaki," she griped, "sounds stupid, high-school-girlish, and just dumb." Oh, what I coincidence! she thought to herself, I was just singing the song 'Dumb' "Until Mr. Sunshine ruined my day!" she groaned again, shooting an angry glare towards her new boss, Mr. Irakaedu.

                The chubby, dark skinned man in his forties hummed in approval at the new girl. "All right, Miss Anazaki," he applauded her after she helped wash another car, "very good for your first week. You can take the rest of the day off." He turned, but then looked back at her. "Come with me, I'll give you your first paycheck." Her green eyes glittering with happiness, she threw her wet cloths into a bucket and skipped behind her boss (of course, skipping is dangerous in a wet place like a car wash, so of course she fell. A lot.).

                The bruised Matsu, smiling despite of the growing bumps on her head, closed her eyes happily and awaited for Mr. Irakaedu to write the check for her. When he finished, he handed her the slip. "Take that to the cashier, Amud, up front. He'll cash it for ya."

                "Arigatou!" she smiled happily

                Matsu cashed the check in and left the car wash. It was the only job she could get easily, even if she was the only female and non-Arab there. But the people there were nice, and she picked up bits of the language when she heard them talk. She picked up a lot of the Arab and Egyptian culture from Ishizu already.

                She sighed. "And I'm what? A Japanese American?" Considering her name, which meant "pine" in Japanese, she was actually more accustomed to the Arab and Egyptian culture than the Japanese one. The only Japanese she was used to was a little of the language and the food. Pocky, yum she smiled as she thought of the delicious tasting chocolate sticks.

                She looked at her check. "Money, money, money!" she smiled lazily, walking happily down the Domino streets. It was getting darker out, and she noticed an array of people gathering around the central plaza of the city. A lot of them were around her age, and they were all talking about some tournament.

                Matsu strained her hearing a little more, and then she heard the magic words.

                Duel Monsters.

                She stood straight, her face changing. No longer did she wear the carefree, happy, lazy mask of Matsu. An malicious smirk tugged at her lips, and her eyes glowed with malice. She snickered. A Duel Monsters tournament. My, my, moving here wasn't a bad idea after all. Matsu looked around at the duelists. There were a whole bunch of wannabes here, she could spot that already.

                If there was a tournament, there was going to be Yugi…or in this case, Yami.

                Her devious grin widened. Not a bad idea at all…

                Yami looked around the plaza, immediately recognizing a few of the familiar faces from Duelist Kingdom. Téa was with him, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust when she laid her eyes on Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood, revolted at their crooked grins. She just decided to stick to looking at Yami. He, at least, was good looking.

                She saw his eyebrows rise. "What is it, Yami?"

                He pointed to a familiar individual. "That is Matsu, isn't it?" Téa looked to where he was pointed. At first she didn't recognize the girl. Maybe it was because the nighttime made her hair look almost black instead of blue. But it was the same Matsu, yellow blouse and jeans.

                Téa shrugged. "We'll find out. Hey Matsu!" she called. The girl's head perked up and she looked around to hear where her name came from. She saw Téa and figured it had to be her.

                "Heyo," she grinned as she approached them.

                "Matsu, were you an invited duelist?" Yami asked her. Even with the adjusted height, Yami was still shorter than Matsu. It slightly irked him how the only person that was shorter than him was Mokuba.

                Matsu blinked a few times before she scratched her arms. "Eh…I dunno. Maybe I'll bother Seto long enough and he'll let me duel. Dueling is fun!" The amount of sugar in that last remark made her have cavities.

                "By the way, Matsu," Téa looked at her strangely, "how exactly did you come to know Kaiba again?"

                She laughed nervously and put her hand behind her head. "Eheheh…well, if I told you, he's gonna kill me. KFC is everywhere, and I might be caught."

                A huge sweatdrop formed on both their heads. "KFC….?"

                Matsu laughed nervously. "Isn't that the logo for Seto's company?"

                Yami bit his lip. "That's KC. It stands for Kaiba Corp…"

                Matsu was about to say something when someone else said "Hey, Yugi," from behind them. The three of them turned around to see a girl in purple and a white tank top.

                Matsu frowned. And this person is…?

                Téa smiled brightly. "Hey, Mai!"
                Mai winked at her and then turned to Yugi. "I guess you're here for the tournament too." Then her face turned into a sour look. "Kaiba just can't wait to prove he's better than you, can he?"

                Matsu frowned deeper. Seto isn't like that! He's not an idiot, whoever-you-are.

                Téa rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I know."

                Wait, aren't Téa and Yugi…or Yami, whoever, Seto's friends?

                Mai noticed Matsu standing there. "Oh? Who are you?"

                Téa smiled and was about to introduce Matsu, but Matsu jumped in ahead of her with a monotonous tone. "Matsu," she glared at Mai. She slowly extended her hand, but her green eyes were cold.

                Mai frowned as well. "Mai Kujaku." They slowly shook hands, their eyes not wavering. Téa and Yami looked on tensely. She smirked. "You have a last name with that?"

                "No, but I do have two championship titles that I've held for five years." She cocked her eyebrow. "That enough?"

                They continued shaking. "Which titles?"

                "Female Duel Monsters Champion and Duel Monsters Champion of the Western United States."

                Mai stopped shaking. Female…why haven't I won that? This girl must be good.

                Yami and Téa blinked. "Wow, Matsu, you serious?"

                Her pout dropped open and she looked like a rock just hit her in the head. "Eh…did I say that? Eh, whoops…"

                Yami smiled knowingly. "It's alright. I can understand if you didn't want everyone to find that out." Then he added, "That's why you have been so secretive, right?"

                Matsu bit her lip. That wasn't the reason she kept evading them, but Yami was already giving her a way out of the mess, so she might as well take it. She nodded. "Yeah…er, sorry 'bout that."

                All the other duelists started gazing at the screens on the sides of the building. Matsu gaped: those screens were freaking humongous. They had those is Las Vegas, sure…but not like this…there were so many.

                "Greetings duelists," Seto started.

                Mai pouted. "I don't know what's bigger: his ego, or his big melon on the screen."

                Matsu frowned again. At least it's a good looking melon. Wait, melon? Must be some Eastern term. Seto's face is too pointy to be a melon…

                He continued on to announce the Battle City tournament and that everyone should pick up their Duel Disks, because the next day would be the tournament. Matsu hummed. "Already? Wow, tomorrow the tournament begins." She laughed. "Good thing I never have plans."

                Yami smirked. "You know Matsu, we should duel. I've never seen you before."

                "Well, you should think that a little over. I don't want you to fall out during the tournament." She turned and waved. "Let's just wait till the finals, shall we?" Matsu sighed to herself and stuffed her hands in her pocket, walking away without a look back.

                Just you wait, pharaoh.

                Matsu sighed as she walked into the house on the side of the Domino Museum. She turned on the light to find Ishizu reading by a lamppost. She smiled lightly.

                "Guess what, Ishizu?" She held up her wrist, showing her Duel Disk, "I'm in Seto's tournament."

                The Egyptian woman looked up from her book, a smile on her face. "That's great, Matsu. I hope you'll be able to accomplish what you came here for." She stopped with a look of surprise on her face as her necklace glowed. She touched it lightly. "My Millennium Necklace tells me that Krita is back."

                "Very perceptive, Ishizu," an accented voice said from behind Matsu. "Now, if you would please tell your brother to give me my corpse back, I will be back respectively." Leaning against Matsu's shoulder was the spirit form of Krita. Even though she was in spirit, she looked the same she did when she was living: she looked like an Egyptian version of Matsu, and she had an old styled dress, much like Ishizu's but without the sleeves.

                Ishizu smiled calmly. "Good evening, Krita," she greeted the spirit.

                Krita's transparent form nodded, her arms folded over her chest. "And you."

                Ishizu stood, bowing her head slightly. "It is a good thing you and Matsu have found each other. Had you done so later, things might go…let's say out of plan."

                Krita cocked a brow. "And I see this goes with your other plan? You know, the one where you try to get your brother back?"

                Ishizu sighed and looked at the ground sadly. "I was hoping that if worse comes to worse, you and Matsu could team up and fight the evil that may be unleashed." She averted her gaze to the two counterparts. "You know what I mean."

                Krita sighed. "Sadly, yes. But that will only be convenient for me when my other goals are fulfilled."

                Matsu looked at the apparition strangely. "Goals? Like what, exactly?"

                Krita "moved" off Matsu's shoulder. "They concern you as well, Matsu. Let's take your uncle, Mekhi, for one. Since he's one of Malik's minions now, he'll probably be participating in the tournament as one of those Rare Hunters." She gave a sideways glance towards Ishizu. "And that means that we can get easier access to Malik."

                Ishizu rubbed her chin and hummed thoughtfully. "Well, I still would like to have this in my own hands, however, if you can get to my brother or Odeon, that would help tremendously."

                Krita bit her lip. "Well, I am happy that I can help, I mean, all the closer it gets me to getting my body back so I can sleep, but I didn't awaken to help anyone. That isn't my incentive."

                Matsu looked at her, a little concerned. "What is it then, Krita?" She looked to the floor, grimacing deeply, sadly, folding and unfolding her hands. Krita looked at her worriedly and sat on the couch next to her. "I mean, from day one, I've been told to find you, because I know the bracelet originally belongs to you. I know Malik stole your body for a while, so that made me even more want to help you. But…I wanted to help you because I know you have answers for me, Krita." She looked up, her green eyes deep with pleading and welling with the start of tears. "Don't you have anything for me?"

                Krita looked uneasy at Matsu as she saw her green eyes start to become uneven and outlined in red. She looked nervously at Ishizu, who shook her head sadly. "Matsu," she whispered, "your eyes…the contacts."

                "I don't care! You two know about me! That's not the point!" she cried, more and more of the red becoming clearer as she continued to cry in frustration. "But I have the feeling, Krita, that you know more about me that even I know, and I want you to tell me everything, NOW!"

                Krita took a step back, her legs dissolving into the couch she stepped into, but stilled herself and shook her head again, closing her eyes and letting out a slow breath. Matsu calmed down a little, wiping her eyes dry. But when she pulled her arm away, she found on her sleeve one of the green contact lenses. She glanced quickly at the mirror across the room, noticing she now had one red eye and one green eyes. Sighing, she looked back at Krita, awaiting a story from the spirit. Ishizu walked over and sat on the loveseat Krita was standing by, and looked up at her, encouraging her to tell Matsu everything.

                Joey sat on the floor of his apartment, shuffling his deck around furiously, looking for cards to make combinations with. That damned tournament was tomorrow! He just had to come up with something.

                But after two hours of thinking so hard he was sweating, he fell back on the carpeted floor and gazed at the spiraling ceiling fan, losing all thought for the minute while the machine cooled him down. He took a deep breath and opened his chocolate eyes again, running a hand through his blonde hair.

                He thought about a lot of things. His sister, for one. Joey was hoping with all his heart that she would recover in time to see him duel at the tournament. Serenity was his one inspiration. It was because of her he entered Duelist Kingdom. It was because of her sake that he kept on dueling. She was all he had left, especially after his drunk of a dad kicked the can and his mother abandoned him. He thought about the tournament, whether there might be any challenges to him or not. There was always Kaiba and Mai, and of course Yugi, but what if there was someone else?
                Joey smiled to himself. No one can beat the great Joey Wheeler!

                Someone else.

                Mai had called him a little earlier, and in fact, there was someone else who could challenge him.

                Matsu. According to Mai, she had already two huge titles, and apparently, a stadium in her native Las Vegas that worshiped her when she dueled there, etc. It was like the West belonged to her. Mai didn't seem to like her too much, but Joey was surprised Matsu even said more than three sentences to Mai, seeing as every time he ran into her, she always found some reason to run away. Not to mention all the circumstances they always found themselves in. The first time it was helping her find the Domino Museum, the second time…that weird Rare Hunter guy.

                But what bothered him the most concerning Matsu was that he kept on having that same dream about the Three Matsus. And each time he woke up, drenched in sweat, the more he needed to see her, but he couldn't understand why…

                "Matsu, I have to tell you the most important: I am your past self. I was a priestess with Ishizu's past self in Pharaoh Yami's court, Aishizu. She was the only true priestess; she was only training me. She was even serving Pharaoh Yami with High Priest Seto himself."

                Matsu blinked at the Egyptian woman. "You were Aishizu? The only woman in Yami's court? Oh wait…that can explain Ishizu…Ishizu, Aishizu…yeah, I get it now. Go on, Krita-san."

                "Anyways, I was the only one who was in the arts who didn't have a Millennium Item. Yami only made seven because he had seven official priests. But I was young and restless at the time, so I strived for more. I tried to find ways to master the monsters inside the stone tablets, and I did exceptionally well, but I needed to master something even more to become one of Yami's court; I needed a Millennium Item of my own, so I could show I could handle anything."

                She sighed. "And so, I went gathering some of the best gold in all of Egypt. I even joined forces with that tomb robber Bakura to get some of the gold from the catacombs."

                Matsu leapt forward. "Bakura! That sweet boy couldn't do anything like that."

                Krita narrowed her eyes. "Bakura's real name is Ryou. Bakura is really his last name, as that is because Bakura is a part of him that will never leave him. Bakura is the tomb robber, but as I can see, the boy Ryou calls himself Bakura. Nonetheless, Matsu, you knew who I meant."

                Matsu nodded silently and let the Egyptian spirit continue. "Aishizu immediately told me to stop, but I had a dark side, and that side was so set on this power that I couldn't stop. I put numerous amounts of power into that bracelet, even power that wasn't my own.  But just as Ishizu," she gave a narrow sideways glance towards her, "has let you go at times, Aishizu was just as lenient to me. She always gave me a second chance, because I wasn't really harming anyone; I was just robbing the dead and using portions of other people's life energy."

                "That still was not right and did horrors for your spirit, Krita," Ishizu interjected.

                The girl rolled her eyes and continued. "I was going to die sometime or later, but anyways. When Seto betrayed Yami in that duel with him, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to step in and take his position, or at least fill in the gap. Yami was by far shocked that I had managed to create my own Millennium Item. But many mages and judges called it treachery that I would create my master's items without his knowledge and that I was going to overthrow him. I knew Yami believed me, but still, he had to counsel with his judges. I was to live on the outskirts of the city until the trial.

                "Walking towards the river, alone, I was approached by a group of thieves. I thought at first it was Bakura, looking for some kind of reimbursement, but it wasn't him. It was a tall, dark man, with spiky white-blonde hair. He ordered his men to capture me. My vision went black for periods of time I couldn't count, but it was long.

                "When I finally awoke, my body was weak from the lack of food and water. My power was drained, and I had dropped my bracelet when I was kidnapped. Even in my weak state, I knew that none of the bandits had taken it. Its signal was so far away…" She swallowed hard and let out a hitched breath. "A-Anyways, the man asked me questions about Yami, but I refused to answer. I said nothing, and his men kept on beating me. Many times I screamed, but no one heard me. My body battered and on the brink of death, with whatever strength I had left, I moved my spirit and soul into the Millennium Bracelet, and then blasted it out of Egypt, so that way, no one in that insane desert could use it if I could never."

                The navy-headed girl nodded slowly, taking everything she heard in. But even with Krita's history explained, how would this help her with her purpose of being in Domino…but wait…there was still the question of just how Malik got her corpse.

                Krita seemed to read Matsu's mind, seeing as they were the same being, and said, "That man knew I could reincarnate my soul into my corpse once my spirit was reborn, seeing as only my soul was transferred into the bracelet."

                "Wait, huh?"

                "I was very far from the bracelet, Matsu. Both my soul and my spirit couldn't make the journey. My spirit was swept away and then to heavens. I was judged, and my heart, as they say in the legends, weighed more than the feather, so I was damned. But because my soul still existed in the mortal world, I was still able to reincarnate my spirit into someone so I could reincarnate my soul. The reincarnation of my spirit was you, Matsu, when you were born as Ayako Marisoki."

                Matsu's eyes darkened and her frowned deepened gravely. "You really don't need to remind me. Having to dye my hair every month and changing my contacts every other day is already a really bad reminder." She stopped for a second and fingered her spectacles. "And of course, Ayako or Matsu, I still have to wear glasses, which really screw up my vision more than help because of these stupid contacts."

                Krita shook her head. "But Ayako is truly you, Matsu, you must accept that. As much as you are happy now with being Matsu, you are Ayako, and Ayako is myself reborn." Matsu didn't like one word of what she was hearing. She gave the face that told Krita that she should continue with her story and stop telling her about the past she tried to forgot many a time.       

                Krita sighed. "Anyways, I figured that if both my spirit and my soul could be remade, I could reincarnate my whole self, and prove once and for all to Yami that I am worthy of him. He uses that boy Yugi as a shell, so I am in luck because I can still see him. But, unfortunately, we all know that even Yami knows very little about his own past, and I doubt he will remember me. When he saw you, Ishizu, he didn't even remember that you were the priestess in his court."

                Ishizu shook her head. "He remembered nothing."

                "But so," Krita said, "I still have to fulfill my purpose. And because that man who kidnapped and killed me remade himself into Malik's dark side, Malik still has my body." She looked wearily at Ishizu. "But because Odeon is there, I know that spirit cannot come out. So then, does Malik even know why he has that body?"

                Ishizu exhaled slowly, searching her mind for memories. "He remembers you from his childhood, so I have the feeling that his darker spirit hides within his real self and is influencing him to keep you for some reason."

                Matsu blinked her green and red eyes. "Wait, how does Malik remember you from his childhood? You weren't…I was only a kid…I don't understand."

                This time, Ishizu explained. "You know everything about the Ishtar past, Matsu. You know how the dark side of Malik was formed, you know how Odeon came to be, you know my mother died giving birth to Malik, and you know of the whole Tombkeeper's Initiation deal."

                She nodded. "Yeah."

                "Krita knows all of it as well. Although her soul was someplace else, when her spirit was reborn when you were born, which was at the same time as Malik, her spirit wandered back to Egypt, because I was reborn. That is why, at first, you did not know about her. She was seeing how Aishizu's reincarnation was developing. But I had a brother as well, which interested her, since Aishizu did not have one that we can remember. She watched him develop, and noticed quite interestedly that the Ishtar family possessed both the Millennium Necklace and the Millennium Rod. This is because Seto in the past owned the rod. But as we can see, the Seto today," she added a bitter tone, "wants nothing to do with anything past his business and his victory in Duel Monsters." Matsu chuckled, but quieted down for Ishizu to go on with the story.

                "Krita became visible to me, because I was Aishizu's reincarnation, and because Malik was of my blood, could see him as well. For we guarded the tomb of Yami's physical body, and Yami was Krita's final destination. So she had all the reasons to be there, but Malik was disturbed by her presence. Krita, although she didn't always show it, didn't want Malik to abandon his duty as Tombkeeper, because, of course, she needed to see Yami again. But then Solomon Motou found the Millennium Puzzle, and Yami was truly reborn in Yugi, and she let everything go and concentrated on you."

                "Of course," Krita added very seriously, "by then, all the events which I will not mention because of your…problem with your past happened, and many things were blown far out of the proportion I wanted. Still, even though you were Matsu then, you still had a little of the Ayako flair and dueled just like I did. That is where you get your skill from."

                Matsu furrowed her brow and snarled in anger. "NO, I get my dueling skills from me, not any spirit."

                Krita moaned and rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say. Still, because of Malik's turn to the dark side, he separated from his duties, as you know, but also rejected me as well, and that is when my body comes into play. Because Malik, who was my last hope since he had my body, turned away from everything, I went to Shadi, who had tried to persuade Malik to go back to the way he was." She rolled her eyes and her voice dripped with cynicism. "But of course, Shadi scared the poor boy, so what could we do?"

                Ishizu and Matsu both giggled.

                "Someone say my name?"

                The three girls turned around shocked to see Shadi standing in the dark corner of the room, his Millennium Ankh glowing brightly. He seemed slightly nerved about what Krita just said.

                Matsu's eyes lit up, both colors. "Shadi-sama!" She leapt off the couch and ran over to the dark corner to hug him.

                He let himself be hugged, but he was a bit shocked. He really was never hugged before, except by this girl.

                Krita's spirit stood and put her hands on her hips. "Well, if that isn't one for the pictures, I don't know what is."

                Ishizu felt heat rush to her cheeks as she saw her old friend. "Oh, Shadi! What are you doing here? Isn't it late?"

                "It is already daytime in Egypt," he stated simply. "Besides, I picked up your conversation and was drawn here. Forgive me for intruding."

                Krita shook her head. "It's fine, Shadi. It is good to see you again."

                "Yes, my lady," he nodded. Ishizu nodded as well, but swallowed hard. Of course it's good to see you again…

__________________________________________________________

Okay, for those of you who didn't read the entire manga, or at least found snippets of it on the 'Net like I did, Aishizu (eye-shee-zoo) was the past self of Ishizu. That is probably where the WB got the name Ishizu for instead of leaving it as Isis, which is Ishizu's original name. Aishizu was a priestess in Yami's court when he was pharaoh, and was the keeper of the Millennium Necklace, or, it's original name, the Millennium Tauk.

Another thing is, I don't know if Malik's dark self, whom I'm going to call in this fic "Marik" like everyone else (heh) existed in Ancient Egypt. I just made that up for my story. If any form of Malik lived back then, great. Whoopee.

We also get the point that Mekhi is Matsu's uncle and is one of Malik's Rare Hunters. More about his existence will be revealed later, because he is a key essential to Matsu's role in this fic.

Ayako Marisoki was mentioned in the first chapter, if you forgot, and in Shadi's first visit, you can see he called Matsu "Ayako" and when Krita first appears, we see:

                She cocked her eyebrow. "Matsu, eh?"

                Matsu blushed a little. "Well, I kinda had to…"

                The girl nodded. "I understand. Well, Matsu, at least I found you. Do you know how much it sucks in that Shadow Realm?"

 This shows that Krita has all her life known Matsu as Ayako and not Matsu.

I don't wanna spoil much more, but if you want an explanation on anything, please tell me. Read, review, and by the way, more stuff:

About the couples. I know the Matsu/Seto thing was most popular with my TWO readers (haha, pathetic for me), but I think that I'm gonna put a little Matsu/Bakura (the Ryou version, of course) on the side, because we saw in the chapter where they met, he liked her immediately. And in this chapter, she calls him "sweet boy" ^_^

I'm still going to try to do the Ishizu/Shadi thing, or at least show some attraction if not a coupling. In the TV show Battle City, I only see Shadi appear to Ishizu once, and that's on the blimp, so it's kinda hard to put it in, but I'll try.

I need other pairings though. Here are suggestions that I came up with (this doesn't mean I'll put them together, though. Just suggestions.)

Yami/Téa, Yugi/Téa, Yami/Krita, Yami/Mai, Yugi/Main, Yugi/Matsu, Yugi/Krita

Joey/Mai, Joey/Téa, Joey/Matsu, Joey/Krita

Tristan/Matsu, Tristan/Serenity, Tristan/Téa, Tristan/Krita, Tristan/Mai

Bakura/Téa, Bakura/Serenity, Bakura/Krita, Bakura/Mai

Malik/Matsu, Malik/Téa, Malik/Krita, Malik/Mai, Malik/Serenity

You know guys, put people together who have never been put together, like I have! Be creative and think outside (the bun! Haha, Taco Bell) what you normally imagine! Anyways, tell me what you think should be added. All other Seto pairings are out because I want Seto all to myself ::hugs:: Haha, no, but there will be Seto/Matsu in it, but don't be afraid to put Matsu with someone else. Krita is also up there for a pairing, and tell me if I forgot anyone. Just think of the different possibilities and don't be afraid to think of somethin new.

Anyways, your comments, reviews, and suggestions for the story are always accepted. I'm not so sure about adding yaoi, though…I'm not very good at it…I'll have to see. Anyways, vote, tell me what you like, and until next time, ja ne!
