Sarah: Yay! I finally decided to write a Yugioh fanfic. Sorry if I get a few names wrong. I watch the English series in the US.
Yami: It took you about three months after post your other fics to make this one up.
Sarah: You're so mean, Yami. I was so busy with school. I thought of this about a few days ago. OK.
???: It took you long enough, Paranoia.
Sarah: -turns around and calls out to the shadows behind her- What the hell are you doing here, Riku? (One of my favorite Kingdom Hearts characters.)
Riku: Shit! How did you know it was me?
Sarah: It was obvious. You're not invisible and your shiny silver hair. –Points at his hair-
Yami: -whistles and breaks up the fight- Shut up! So we can get on with this.
Sarah: All right. First, a disclaimer. –Points at Riku and starts watching the 1000 Words concert scene from Final Fantasy X-2 on her friend's PS2-
Riku: Fine. Sarah doesn't own Yugioh or me. She only owns the original character's first name not the last name and personality. There, happy now?
Sarah: SHUIN! WHY THE HELL DID THE BEVELLE SOLDIERS SHOOT THEM? LENNE! NO!–Starts crying-
Riku: Crap. Not that scene again. –Pulls the plug from the PS2 and disconnects all the wires-
Yami: I was watching that too, you know. It's sad. Lenne and Shuin must have been deeply in love.
Sarah: -still crying, while whining- Riku, you're meaner than Yami. That was my favorite part of the game besides the Real Emotion concert in the beginning.
Riku: Shut up and get on with the fic.
Sarah: -stops crying- Fine, fine. I will.
"Where can he be?" Seto muttered, running through the city in the late afternoon. "Mokuba! Where are you?" 'He can't be far away, can he?' He thought.
In an alleyway on the other side of the city, there was Mokuba, standing against a wall. "No way! I'm not handing over my money!" He yelled. A gang of wild teenage guys surrounded him. They were known as the Stalkers. They would stalk people and steal everything they had, leaving the victim bruised badly. "You're only a little kid! I'll go easy on you." The leader pulled out a bat and slashed out with it, hitting Mokuba on the head. 'Seto, please hurry. Please help me.' Mokuba thought. 'Hurry, big brother.'
"Stop it right there." Said a girl's voice. The gang spun around and saw a girl standing there. She was about Seto's height, had violet eyes and short black hair with brown highlights. She wore a short black skirt, a one strap black top and stiletto high heels. "Let the boy go!" She demanded.
"What if we don't?" One of the gang members snorted. "If you don't let him go, you're in for some pain. You should know it's not nice to hurt others. But, I might have to." "What can a fine girl like you do to us? We're the best gang in this city!" The gang leader exclaimed. "This is what I can do." The girl spun around and kicked the nearest gang member in the face. Her heels made a cut on his face. It bled so much.
"Damn it!" The others yelled. The girl advanced on her next targets: the rest of them. "Attack her." The leader ordered. All the others attacked her except the leader himself. They all tried to punch her, but they missed because she did a back flip and knocked everyone off their feet. They hit the floor hard and were unconscious.
"Now, the leader." She turned to him. He pulled out a gun. The girl got her fists ready and stood in her fighting position. "You are a fine looking girl, you know." "I know that fact, already." She dashed into him, spun around and kicked him so hard he went running with his gang. She turned to Mokuba. She helped him up. "Thanks for saving me." He said. "It's OK. What your name?" The girl asked. "Mokuba Kaiba. My brother is Seto Kaiba. He runs Kaiba Corp." Mokuba said. "Well, that's interesting, Mokuba. My name's Jade Kumi. I also have an older brother."
"Mokuba!" A teenager yelled. He ran to Mokuba. "Don't ever do that again. Who's that?" "Hello, you must be Seto. My name's Jade." Jade said. "I was walking home when I ran into the Stalkers. They were threatening to beat me up. But, Jade saved me from them." Mokuba explained. "She saved you? How?" Seto asked. "She did a lot of kicking and flips." Mokuba replied. Jade giggled. The thing that involves kicking and the flips were called martial arts. Well, I better get going. Bye." Jade turned around and left.
"Bye Jade!" Mokuba called.
"That boy, Mokuba is such a sweet little kid. I hope Seto realizes that more than anyone else." Jade muttered. "Hey Seto! Do you think we'll ever see Jade again?" Mokuba asked. "I don't know, Moki." Seto said, messing up Mokuba's hair. "Maybe or maybe not."
The next day at Domino High....
Seto sat quietly at his desk, quietly watching everyone else. 'I wonder where that girl, Jade is right now?' He thought. 'Why am I thinking about her?' "Class, I want to introduce our new student." Seto's jaw dropped when he saw who the new kid was. It was Jade. "Hi, I'm Jade Kumi. I transferred from Tokyo High." She said.
"Hey guys! Did you saw Kaiba's jaw drop when he saw her?" Tristan whispered. "Yeah. It seemed like he knew her somehow." Yugi whispered back. "I highly doubt that." Tea muttered. "Is there anything you would want to share with the class, Tea? Yugi? Tristan?"
"No. Nothing." Yugi replied quickly. "Jade, you can sit in that empty desk in-between Kaiba and Marik." Their teacher suggested. Jade obeyed and quickly got to her seat. (I don't want to describe the classes in paragraphs. I'll summarize it in one word. "Boring.")
Later at lunch...
"Guys, do you have anything good to eat?" Joey's stomach growled. "'Cuz I'm hungry." "We can tell, Joey." Tristan rolled his eyes. "Guys, there's a rumor going on that Jade is the daughter of the J-POP artist Koda Kumi." Tea said. Yugi spit out the soda he was drinking. "KODA KUMI! She sang to "Come with me", "Real Emotion" and "1000 words." Well, for "Real Emotion" and "1000 words", she sang the Japanese ones and the English versions she sang are on her "Come with me" album."
"Well, I guess you do know something about my mom, then." Jade said, popping out of nowhere. "AH! Jade, don't scare us like that!" Tristan yelled. "Well, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Tea. That's Yugi, Tristan and Joey." Tea introduced. "We saw Kaiba's jaw drop when you came into the classroom. Why's that?" Joey asked suspiciously and grinned. "No, Joey. I'm not going out with him. I saved his brother, Mokuba, from the Stalkers yesterday and beat them single-handedly. Shortly after, he found his brother with me."
"Oh. So, that's why we were late for your martial arts class, Jade." Snorted a voice. "Seiya, tell me. Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be flirting or something?" Jade asked the boy behind her without looking.
They saw a boy with black hair and violet eyes there. He looked almost like Jade, but his hair was like Joey's. "Sis, I was wondering why you didn't show up at the time you usually do to that class." Seiya replied. "Wait! You beat the Stalkers single-handedly and lived to tell the tale! That's impossible." Tristan muttered. "If you don't believe me, ask Mokuba. He was there." Jade said. "Hey guys!" Bakura ran to them, trying not to crash into anyone. "What's up?" "Nothing." "So, Jade. How is it sitting next to the social rejects, Marik and Kaiba?" He asked. "Boring, really. Marik's all talk. Kaiba's way too quiet." Jade said, after finishing her lunch. The bell rang. "What class do you have next, Jade?" Joey asked. "History. I think I heard that the subject's ancient Egypt." Jade replied. "It's interesting. The Egyptian culture is full of interesting stuff." "Marik, Yugi and Kaiba have that class too. It's about two hours long. So, see ya, Yugi! Jade!"
Yugi and Jade headed for History class together. They took their seats and Ishizu walked in. "Class, we will be learning about the Egyptian gods. I will put you into groups of two for a project on this." 'Shit! Anyone but Marik.' Jade thought.
"Here are the groups: Yugi and Marik. Jade and Kaiba." (Too lazy to name all of them.) She handed out a sheet that had all the names of the gods and goddesses. "Great, we have to find out what they have power over." Kaiba snorted. Jade took a short glance at Kaiba and looked back at her sheet. "This is so simple. Seth or Set is the god of evil. Anubis is the god of the dead. Osris is the judge of the dead. Isis is the goddess of mourning along with her twin, Nepthys. Ra is the sun god." Jade said all that with her eyes closed.
"How did you-?" Ishizu cut off Marik. "That is all correct, Jade." "What?!" Yugi muttered.
-In Yugi's mind-
Yami, Jade's kind of weird.
I've noticed that from here. It seems she knows something about the Egyptian culture. It's strange. But, she reminds me of someone I knew in my past.
Really? OK. That is weird.
Oh well, Ishizu might know that we're talking in your head. Which is weird in the first place.
Two hours later, they were dismissed from school. "Finally, I can go home and rest." Jade muttered. She started to walk home. "Hey Jade! Wait up!" Seiya called to her. "I thought you were flirting back there for a moment." Jade called to him, as he caught up to her.
"So, how was your first day?" Seiya asked. "I have to sit in-between the social rejects of the class. But, things are going well." Jade continued walking. "Jade!!" A kid ran and hugged her, stopping her from walking. "It's me, remember." "Of course, Mokuba." Jade smiled. "How can I forget someone like you so easily?" Mokuba let go of Jade and turned to Seiya. "This is your brother, right?" "Yeah, he is. He's only a year older than me though." Jade replied. "I guess, Seto's close by too." "Yeah, ever since yesterday, he never leaves me alone without anyone guarding me." Mokuba pouted. "Mokuba, don't pout. He's probably doing that because he doesn't want to lose you. I bet you're the only family he has left."
"You figured it out so quickly, Jade." Seto walked up to them. "I wonder how you can do that." Jade didn't notice he was looking at her strangely. Jade turned around and started walking again. "Let's just say I can sense things like that. See you tomorrow." Seiya followed behind her. When Seto and Mokuba were far away from them, Seiya grabbed Jade's wrist. She stopped walking again. "Seiya, what the fuck is up with you today?" "Did you see it?" "See what, Seiya?" "Never mind!" "Fine! Don't tell me!"
Seto and Mokuba headed back to Kaiba manor. "You have a message from Noah." "Great! We haven't heard from him in a while." Mokuba seemed excited.
Noah appeared on Mokuba's laptop. "Mokuba, what's up?" "Nothing. Seto's got stuff to do. Yesterday was weird because a girl named Jade saved me from a gang. Ever since then, Seto's been acted weird." "Really? Since when?" "Yup. Ever since he laid his eyes on Jade yesterday." "I think I know what he's going through. But, I can't tell you now. He might be eavesdropping on this conversation." "Guess, you're right, Noah." "Talk to you later, kay?" "OK."
