Ch3 "Why Aqua?"

In the car, Aqua turned the radio to a country station called Cat Country 107.5.

"Man, they never have the new songs on," Aqua wined, "Oh good, it's going off. Yes, I love this song!"

She always listened to country and rock since she was a redneck/goth/punk girl. She was always weird, too. She thanked everyone who called her weird. She was almost never insulted. From the way she acted, how could she?

The song turned into an old legend song again so she turned it to a station called 95SX. A song came on. It was good song. The song was called 'All The Way Down'.

"Hey Mokuba, this song reminds me of when Seto, you, and me met."

"Why?"

"Well, there's one reason, but you'll laugh."

"Oh, tell me, tell me."

"Okay. But, you have to promise not to laugh."

"All right."

"Okay, I went to the orphanage because someone killed my parents. I was sent to the orphanage by three old guys. I don't know who they were, though. Any way, Nobody would play with me, nobody would talk to me, not even the people who ran the orphanage. I felt like I was falling off a one million story building and I didn't hit the bottom yet. Then one day two sweet boys came in the orphanage."

"Seto and me!"

"Exactly. So, I came over to see you. Seto said hi and you did too. I said hi back. I asked if I could play with yawl and you know the rest."

"So that's what happened to you. Why did no one wanna play with you?"

"I'll tell you when the time is right."

They came to Aqua's house. It was a regular, but beautiful two story hose.

They ate, watched some horror movies Kaiba would never let Mokuba see, and they went to bed. In the morning, they got up, ate, played with the animals, and left.

"Hi, we're here," Aqua yelled.

"Hi. You don't have to yell. I'm right here." Mokuba left as Kaiba entered. "Can we talk please?"

"About what?"

"About why you came here."

"Why?"

"I just wanna know why you came here. That's all."

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Just...... because," she yelled

"But why? Please tell me. You told me everything when we were kids."

"Okay," Aqua whispered, "I love you. But, as a friend."

"Christina," there was a pause, "why?"

"I wouldn't come from South Carolina, to California, to New York, to Domino city for nothing."

"To get away from school you might."

"I loved Berkley Middle School, but I loved you more. I loved you more than anything. I loved you more than the Carolina Gamecocks, more than my other friends, and way more than my step mom."

"But, Christina," he said in his softest voice, "I never knew you felt that way."

"Well, now you know," she answered, "I got to go meat Kirsten somewhere right now, bye."

Aqua was about to cry out the door. And Kaiba was about to fall to his knees. He never ever, ever, ever felt so guilty in his life.

He wanted to make it up to the poor witch. But, how was he going to make it up to a witch? What if she would put a curse on him? Just then he got an idea.
