Chapter 14
Siris opened her eyes and looked around and saw Yami towering over her. She got up clutching her head and was suddenly pushed down by Yami.
"Stay down. You have a huge gash on your arm and I don't want you to reopen it." Siris obliged silently. Little Yugi's footsteps where heard.
"Yami! Here's the first aid! Is she alright?" Yami took it and started to clean up Siris' arms. Yami expected her to flinch but she didn't make a move but stared at the ceiling.
"Siris, what the hell made you make that rash of a decision as to kill both of you?" Siris scowled at the ceiling.
"I could not contain her evil so it had to be destroyed. I can not live without my hikari so I decided to kill us both. Better than any of you dying just because of my stupid decision as to lock her up." Yami sighed and shook his head. Yugi sat on the one-seater that Siris had sat in last time.
"Yami, do you think Shadi left?" Yami's face scrunched up in concentration but made no answer. Yugi sighed and just started to sing quietly to himself.
'I dream of a world when the birds sing
And dreamers dream
When all is perfect
Perfect for you and me...'
Yami's and Siris' head quickly turned towards Yugi in surprise. When Yugi realized they were staring at him he quickly shut up and stared back.
"What? Something wrong you two? I don't like the looks I'm getting so far..." Yami shook his head like he did something wrong and Siris got up. Her arms where wrapped up now in bandages.
"Where did you learn that song?" Yugi blinked in confusion.
"From Sakura when we were kids. Why? Is it bad?" Siris let out a breath like she felt relieved. Yami chuckled and got up to go sit on his own couch. Yugi raised in eyebrow in confusion but chose not to comment.
"SIRIS!!!" Sakura's yelling could be heard throughout the whole mansion and made everyone jump. Siris quickly got up ready to defend her friends but didn't expect to see Sakura was back to normal, just very angry. Sakura walked fast towards her other half as she backed up into a wall.
"Hikari, let me explain..." Sakura slammed Siris into the wall by her shirtfront and held her there.
"Don't explain anything. Don't talk to me. Don't even try and crowd my thoughts. As of now I'm cutting all ties with you." Sakura dropped a very shocked Siris and stalked off to go home. Yugi quickly went to help Siris and Yami just looked in disbelief. Kaiba came in then sensed the tension. Sakura swept past him and slammed the door behind her.
"What happened?" Kaiba continued to the living room and saw Siris slumped on the floor.
"She cut all ties with her Yami... Can she even do such a thing...?" Yami said quietly to himself. Yugi gave up on trying to get her to sit on a couch and instead sat by her and tried to comfort. That's when Siris broke into tears. She held her face in her hands and cried out all her frustrations. Kaiba sighed and sat down on one of his couches.
"Well it is your fault to lock her away. You have no idea what it was like for her to experience the loneliness and the one person who was always there wasn't." Siris ran to one of Kaiba's many rooms and locked the door behind her. Everyone was quiet and sat down in silence lost in their own thoughts.
Siris lay on the bed and cried into her pillow. What am I to do? Where do I go? She cried more in misery. She didn't hear the door open and close. She kept crying oblivious to her surrounding environment.
"Do you want to talk?" Siris looked up to see Yami sitting on the bed. She sniffled and wiped away her tears and tried her best to not look like she was crying. He chuckled at her feeble attempts.
"There's not much to say. What do you want to know?" Yami smiled trying to not laugh. She just looked so comical when she's trying to put up her royal airs and look as if she expected him.
"Well, how about the past? What do you make of it?" Siris smirked. She was glad he didn't bring up what happened earlier.
"Oh, I don't know. All those things I said earlier was a lie." She was laughing evilly and Yami was shocked.
"Wait a minute! So Sakura wasn't supposed to end up with Kaiba?! And you were not supposed to die either!" Siris smiled sadly.
"No, I did die. Everything else is just a complete blank though. I don't know who's she's really destined for. I thought it'd be obvious that was a lie. I just wanted to toy with all of you but everyone took it so seriously that I was too scared to confess." She giggled. Yami was reminded so much of Sakura.
"Well, some things were true but it all leads to nothing." She smiled innocently. Only her eyes were unnatural. They were always blank, no emotions. Yami smiled.
"You are a mischievious one. Notty Notty." Yami wagged his fingure at her like a parent to a child. She stuck her tongue out at him and smirked.
"Thank you." Yami looked at her oddly.
"For what?" She smiled happily.
"For not talking about what just happened and making me laugh." Yami smiled and nodded in understanding.
Sakura paced in her room. How could she do that to me?! I trusted her for once. She betrayed it. She locked me away and left me to fight on my own. She wanted me to be consumed by that demon... She stopped pacing and looked outside. Was everything a lie also? She sighed and plopped down on her bed. The phone rang and she moaned before picking it up.
"Hello? Sakura here." She sat down so as not to muffle her talking.
"Hello Sakura. This is Yugi." She smiled and laughed.
"Hey Yuge! What's up? Glad you called." She smiled to herself, trying not to think of the event that had passed.
"Nothing much. Just wanted to know if you'd like to hang out with me and my friends after school. What do you think?" She shrilled happily.
"Of course! I thought you wouldn't ask. I almost forgot about school! Did you go today?" She lay down to be more comfortable.
"Yea, and don't worry. I took notes and got all the work for you. I'll drop it off right now when Yami is done talking with Siris." Sakura snikered.
"Alright, see you later. And Yuge, take it easy. I know all of this is getting to ya." They said good-bye and set the phone down on the receiver. She took all I had and turned it around on me. Sakura threw a pillow at the sliding glass door angrily and hid her face in her hands in a fit of tears. Only this time, no one was to comfort her.
Yami came out of Siris' room quietly and slipped into the living room. Kaiba looked over at him when he appeared.
"Yugi is waiting for you. Have fun with the banshee? I suggest you take her out of here. I doubt she's good for Mokuba." Yami scowled.
"Just keep her here for tonight. I'll pick her up tomorrow." Yami left the living room to the front door in search of Yugi.
"Yami, what where you two doing? I was waiting for a long time!" Yugi's tone of voice was dripping mock anger. Yami smirked and walked with him on the way to the Kame Game Shop. It was silent half the way there.
"Do you think she's alright?" Yugi's face scrunched up in worry at Yami's question.
"Knowing how she is and her reactions, no. She had a harsh life and upbringing. This was something hard for her. Siris can handle it but Sakura..... Let's just say she's too miserable for her own good." Yugi smiled sadly as Yami stayed silent.
"You know, recently her best friend died from childhood. I couldn't bring myself to tell her today. How should I tell her?" Yami snapped in surprise. He cursed under her breath.
"I don't know. I think you should just tell her and hope for the best. That's all we can do right now." Yugi sighed and stared down at his feet as they walked once more quietly.
The school bells rang and everyone walked to their classes. Kaiba was the last one in and sat down quietly in his seat. He looked over to see Sakura bent over with her hair spilling over, covering her face.
"Sakura, are you alright?" asked Kaiba worriedly. Sakura looked over at him and smiled, masking her sadness.
"I'm great! Do you think I'd get in trouble?" Kaiba raised an eyebrow in question.
"Whatever did you do to make you get in trouble?" Before Sakura could reply, the teacher was standing before them.
"Miss Sakura. Explain your actions very well or I will have you sent to the principal's office and possibly on expolsion." Sakura looked down at her desk and didn't speak.
"Well?!" Kaiba stood up to defend her.
"Sensei, if you so much as raise your voice at her again, it will be your job." Kaiba glared at the teacher straight in the eye who looked away.
"Very well. Kaiba, Sakura, you are both to go to the principal's office. Do not speak to me like that again Kaiba." Sakura got up quietly and followed Kaiba to the principal's, which was across campus from where they were. When Kaiba was sure they were alone, he pulled her close to him.
"Sakura, what did you do to make her so angry?" Sakura pulled away from his embrace and looked away from his eyes.
"Nothing. If you truly desire to find out, then wait till the principal's office." Nothing else was said. When they walked into the office, police men where waiting in the lobby. When the principal saw her, he pointed to her direction for the cops who walked towards Sakura. They stopped in front of Sakura with serious expressions.
"Are you Miss Sakura?" asked the more burly one with the brown mustage and blue eyes.
"Yes. What do you want?" Sakura kept her tone cold and even. The cop raised in eyebrow in surprise.
"We came to arrest you for the murders of Sharen Sanders, Tyler Finckle, Robert Myers, Winsten Miles...." The cop continued to read the list of names which was farely long. Kaiba was both shocked and spellbound. When the list of names ended the cop read more of her crimes.
"Also for hacking the government database and altering information, assassination of the California governer, and attempted suicide." There was silence between the two but the officer broke into a fit of laughter which surprised Kaiba.
"You should obtain a sense of humor. We haven't seen you for awhile and here you are more serious than ever." Sakura smirked but made no laughter.
"Officer Winsten, please state the reason why you are here." He coughed trying to regain his composure and his expression was serious again.
"Well, I thought I'd be the one to break it to you. Please follow me." Sakura followed the officer silently with his escorts leaving Kaiba very confused. What the hell just happened? He shook his head and continued to the principal.
"Well, Miss Sakura. How are you? I think getting the formalities out of the way is an order." They walked slowly around the school.
"I'm fine. How is my company faring in America? I take it since you're here, then things are good." He smiled.
"Yes, extremely well as you planned. I couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. It's amazing!" Sakura scoffed.
"I know you're here for more than a visit so spit it out already. I still have class to attend." The officer looked at her sadly but put on his best business tone.
"Well, I've just been informed that your childhood friend, Elma Gaurdiones, had passed away of a bug of some kind. I came to warn you of this epidemic. You could be holding it dormant in you and not know it." Sakura stopped walking with a shocked expression etched onto her features.
"Dead? Bug? Did she pass without pain?" Sakura's eyes were covered in darkness as she looked down at the ground.
"She was going through hell. When she found out she wouldn't survive, she asked the doctors to pull the plug and asked me to give you this personally." He held out a hand to Sakura. He held a gold necklace with a small golden ankh that shone brightly. It was her Millennium Item. She took it silently and clipped it around her neck. Rest in peace my friend.....
"Her burial is to be held a few days from now. If you wish to come, she is to be buried here, in Japan. It's the park where you two first met. It was ok'd by the city so visit here at least if you don't show." The officers walked off leaving Sakura alone with her thoughts. She walked back to the classroom and sat back down. Kaiba was already there and didn't say a word to her. When the bell rang, she left last while flipping off the teacher. Kaiba saw this and quickly grabbed her hand and led her out. Once outside he conered her to a locker, with either hands to the sides of her head.
"What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to get expelled?" Sakura looked into his eyes with her own cold stare.
"Yes, I am. If you let me pass, I'm going to go to my next class." Kaiba sighed and let his arms sag to his sides.
"You know Sakura, you can tell me whatever you want and I'd understand. You just have to be brave enough to share." Sakura sighed.
"I know, that's why I'm staying the night at your house. To talk and nothing more." She walked off to her next class as did Kaiba. Women........ They are so confusing........
