Disclaimer note: (I'm so sick of these...but unfortunately, I don't own Yu- Gi-Oh!, so what must be done must be done...) I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Which means I don't own any of those cool hot people like Seto Kaiba...::sobs:: Oh, woe is me!!
Now, let's continue the story!
Chapter 13: Way Too Conspicuous
"Annie Foils Her Own Plot!!"
It was finally the last class of the day. Sophia, however, was not as enthusiastic about practice after school that day. 'I have to make sure Annie's not plotting something evil...' she thought. 'Also, I wonder if Seto is alright? I mean, he did just collapse in the middle of class...maybe Annie had something to do with that...!' She just knew she had a lead. 'I don't think I'm going to practice today!' she thought. 'They'll just have to see me tomorrow!!'
As soon as the bell rang, and class was out, Sophia ran to the park to find Annie.
"Well, hey there!" Annie said. "You're just in time to watch the craziest bank robbery in history...!" She pulled out 5 bags of money. "Pretty soon, they're going to realize they've been robbed. Gosh, people on this planet are so slow!"
Sophia was steamed. "Annie, give it back!!"
"No!" Annie replied. "What fun would that be?"
That was the last straw for Sophia. "Fun?!" she shouted. "You think this is a game???"
"Well, sure!" Annie said as the giggled evilly. "Life's a game. And if you won't play it, you don't deserve to live."
Sophia stared at Annie coldly. "What did you do to Seto earlier?"
Annie, for once, looked confused. "I don't know what you're talking about..." she replied, hotly.
"Well, ya should!!!" Sophia shouted.
"I haven't harmed your little friend!" Annie said. "Maybe it was YOU, because I haven't done a thing to him...yet..." Annie couldn't help cackling after that.
"...You're really serious, aren't you?" Sophia asked, now confused. 'Then, what in the...what's going on here?!' she thought. 'If Annie didn't hurt him, than what in the blazes is going on???"
"Well, gotta jet!" Annie said. "I gotta stash this money so I don't get found out."
Just then, they heard sirens coming their way.
Annie quickly gathered up the money. "Okay, I've gotta jet! You remember our deal, right?" she said as she began to run off.
Sophia tripped Annie with her foot and held her hands behind her back, causing her to drop the money. "Deal's off, Annie," Sophia said.
"Then," Annie started, "I'm afraid I have no choice..."
"What are you gonna do?" Sophia asked. "I've got your hands."
"Heh! Fool," said Annie. "I don't need my hands..."
Sophia felt that chill, just as she turned around. Seto just happened to be taking a walk through the park. 'No, you idiot!' Sophia thought. 'Run away!'
"You let me go..." Annie said. "Big mistake!" She started to run, when she felt Sophia grab her shirt collar.
"You're staying right here, Annie!" She said.
Annie sighed with mock remorse. "Then..." she started.
"Hey, what the devil's going on?" came a random police officer's voice.
Seto looked up. He saw Sophia holding Annie's shirt collar, and police officers running in their direction. 'Sophia...' he thought. 'Is she in trouble...? She...she might need my help!' He ran towards them.
Sophia heard someone shouting her name. She turned around to see Seto running towards them. "No!!" She shouted. "Seto! Run away!!"
"So, THAT'S Seto?" Annie said mischievously.
Sophia didn't like the tone in her voice. "Annie...don't..."
"Why? You went back on our deal! So..."
Sophia felt that chill. 'Oh no...' she thought. 'Seto...'
Seto felt a sharp pain in his chest, and stopped dead in his tracks. "Ah...!" he gasped as he clutched his chest. "What the...?" he said. He felt lightheaded and short of breath. 'Why do I feel...so...dizzy...?' he thought.
Sophia began to get angry. "What did you do to him...?!" she asked.
Annie just cackled maniacally. "I can do worse than that! I could KILL him if I want!"
Angry tears came to Sophia's eyes. "You wouldn't!!"
"You're right!" Annie said, to Sophia's surprise. "I wouldn't. I'll just torture him a bit...!"
Seto felt the pain in his chest getting worse. He collapsed to his knees and moaned. "Ooh...it hurts...!!"
Sophia whined. "Annie! You're hurting him!! Stop it!!"
Annie cackled. [A/N: She cackles too much...she is ee-vile, isn't she?]
Sophia felt that chill again.
Seto gasped for air. 'I...can't...breathe...!!' he thought as he felt himself slowly falling into unconsciousness. He collapsed to the ground. "So...Sophia...help...!" he tried to say, though practically inaudible.
Sophia let go of Annie's shirt collar and fell to her knees, crying.
Annie cackled loudly and maniacally. "Ha hah! I win!" Just at her victory moment, she felt a handcuff slapped around her wrist. "Aah?" she turned and looked at the cop who was now staring her dead in the eye. "Uh...listen, officer," she started. "I can explain..."
"Yeah," replied the officer. "Like heck you can. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can (and will) be used against you."
Suddenly, Annie pointed at Sophia on the ground and shouted. "She did it!! It's her you're after, not me!"
"Then how do you explain the moneybags in YOUR hands?" the officer asked.
"She framed me!" Annie lied.
"Then, explain her SCHOOL UNIFORM." The officer asked in the form of statement. "According to our data, the robbery took place at 2:30 this afternoon. At 2:30, this young lady would have been in school. She couldn't have committed the robbery."
Annie nervously continued to lie. "She ditched!!"
"That I highly doubt...besides, with all the cackling you did, it was pretty conspicuous that you were up to no good." The officer said as he cuffed Annie's other hand and lit a cigar. "You're coming with me. We're taking you into custody." The officer dragged Annie away.
Annie angrily shouted at Sophia. "This isn't over, Sophia!! I WILL get out of jail!! And I WILL get even!! You hear me?? EVEN!! REVENGE!! ARR!!"
"Yeah, that's what they ALL say," the officer said as he shoved Annie into the back seat of a police car. "How would you like to take a little car ride, Miss?"
The police car carrying Annie, and five bags of stolen money, drove off with the siren blasting.
Sophia looked up, amused. "Hah! Saved by a school uniform..." she muttered. "I LOVE these stupid uniforms!!" She stood up and ran over to Seto, who was still unconscious. "Seto! Seto, wake up!" she said.
Seto opened his eyes. "...Ugh...dizzy..." he muttered. "...Sophia...?"
Sophia let out a sigh of relief. "Good! You're okay..." she said as she help him sit up.
"Are you..." he started. He then thought, 'Oh...she's touching me again...um...'
Sophia pinched him.
"Ow...what the..." he said.
"That's so you don't pass out again," Sophia said, smiling. "Are you sure you're feeling okay?"
"I'm fine..." he said as he stood up and began to walk away. He turned back to her. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Oh! Phsst! Yeah, I'm fine!" she giggled. "That was nothing. Well, see you in school tomorrow!" she started to walk off.
Seto watched her walk away, then suddenly shouted back to her, "Hey, wait! Sophia!!"
She turned around. "Yah, what is it?" she asked.
"...Um...it's nothing..." he called, a little upset.
"Oh, well okay." She walked off.
Seto walked over to a nearby streetlight and punched it. 'Darn!' he thought. 'Why couldn't I tell her...?! Am I...afraid...?' He brushed it off. "Hah! Of course not!" he said to himself with mock confidence. "I just...oh, who am I fooling...I guess I'd better be getting back home..." he said to himself. He turned back one last time. "Sophia..." he sighed. "If only you knew how I felt about you...if only you knew how much I really love you..." He turned around and walked home, feeling lonely.
