"That did not just happen the other day." Jade hissed. 'Why did Marik do that? I don't understand why.'

She was walking to her homeroom class. When Jade sat down at her seat, she ignored both Seto and Marik.

'She still hasn't forgiven me. Ishizu's right. She is like the Pharaoh's sister.' Marik thought, looking at her.

'What's with Jade? I bet something happened to her yesterday. I can't get her out of my mind for an odd reason.' Seto tried so hard to get them out of his head, but couldn't.

For hours, Marik tried not to think about Jade but couldn't. 'Do I love her? No, my past is interfering with this.'

-Yugi's conversation with Yami-

Hey Yami! Your sister kinda resembled Jade, you know.

I noticed. But, I sense something wrong going on with her, Kaiba and Marik.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I saw Jade give Marik a death glare earlier today.

I wonder why.

Everyone does. I mean, they sit next to each other. Do you think Marik did something or her?

Maybe. He can't have brainwashed her by the way she's glaring at him.

Yeah, but. Marik seems distracted today somehow. He kept on glancing at Jade.

That reminds of what happened to my sister, Amenakida. Someone loved her and she loved him back. The priest wasn't the only person who wanted my sister's love. There was another. I can't remember his name though.

Memory's getting hazy again?

Yes. Marik might love Jade. But, Jade doesn't love him back.

I guess you're right.

-End of the conversation-

"That's a weird theory of yours, Yugi." Tea said. "I know." Yugi glanced at Jade, who was walking quickly.

Right after school...

"Hey Jade!" Tea caught up to her; "We need to talk."

"Sure. What about?" Jade and Tea sat down on the bench and starting talking about school. Then, Tea got Jade to talk about Marik. "Marik's selfish all-talk guy." Jade snorted.

"He kept glancing at you during class. Do you know why?" Tea asked.

Jade nodded. "Yes, he might turn into a stalker since I found out he has feelings for me."

"He WHAT?!" A voice from behind them yelled.

"You can come out now, guys." Tea and Jade said in unison. Tristan, Ryou, Joey and Yugi ran out of there.

"We told you it was a bad idea to spy!" Yugi yelled.

"Well, he's not the only one who has feelings for Jade." Ryou said. "Wait, I thought you just said Marik's not the only one?" Jade and Tea asked. "He did say that." Joey replied. "Who is it?" Tristan asked.

"I don't know. It's only a rumor I've heard lately." Ryou answered sadly.

"I gotta go now. Sorry. See ya tomorrow." Jade took off and ran. 'I wonder who they're talking about.'

"Jade! Slow down! Sis, wait for me!" When Jade heard her brother's voice, it only had her run faster.

She stopped when she lost her brother and heard yells. 'This alleyway. It's the same one where I met Mokuba and Seto.' Then, she heard a familiar cry for help from Mokuba. The Stalkers were at it again.

"Mokuba! Hold on!" She shouted, dashing toward the gang.

"Her again." The Leader hissed. "So, you do remember me." Jade's eyes narrowed. "Kill her." The leader ordered. "JADE! NO!" Mokuba shouted. One of the gang members beat Mokuba until he was unconscious.

"Mokuba!" She was caught off guard. Jade was shoved into the ground and severely beaten. "I'm sorry, Mokuba. I could protect you this time your brother wasn't around. I'm so sorry." She whispered. The gang left them for dead and ran off.

Seto was searching the city for Mokuba again like on the day he met Jade. "Where can he be?" He asked himself. When he reached the same alleyway, he saw both Mokuba and Jade, facedown. Blood was everywhere on the ground. "I have to repay her for what she did last time." Seto said, dialing his chauffeur

To pick them up to take them back to Kaiba manor.

Later that day...

Jade woke up in a warm bed. 'Where am I? I remember being beat up badly by those gang members. I tried to save Mokuba.' Mokuba walked into the room. "Hi Jade. I guess you're wondering where we are."

"Yeah, I am." Jade nodded. "You're in Kaiba manor." Mokuba said.

"Mokuba, I need to talk to Jade alone." Seto slowly walked into the room as Mokuba left.

Cliffy. What's Seto gonna talk to Jade about?

Please r&r.
