Trapped in Loneliness
Chapter 3: Cards and Kaiba Seto
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO.
I have to be candid and say that I rushed to get this chapter out. I think my laptop might have a virus, which is why I did.
ALSO! I want to say that this is the one fic I've actually been able to pour my heart into it while writing it. I won't explain why at the moment, but I might later.
Thanks for all the reviews!!
School sucks. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Wait. What's that over there?
I stop walking and turn to see the shop I just passed by. It's a card shop. And everyone knows that card shops = Duel Monster cards.
I decide to go in.
Maybe it's time I started to play Duel Monsters more often. It looks fun, plus I could be known as the best player. I could duel and beat Yuugi, Jounouchi, Otogi and even Kaiba! How fun it would be to be known as the best. But...I can't be that way because I'm no good. I have no skill. So there is no point.
I'll just buy one pack any way. I enjoy trying to get good cards.
After I pay for the pack I pick out, I quickly leave the shop to go to school.
I'm about to fall asleep in class. It is so damn boring.
I still haven't opened my Duel Monster pack. I barely made it in time for class so I didn't have a chance to open it. I'll open it during break. Yeah, I will.
I wonder what is inside...Maybe there is a card that is very rare and one of a kind that I could sell for millions. I could become rich if that were to happen. I could then buy anything I wanted....Just like Kaiba Seto.
I turn to face the back of the classroom. Surprisingly, Kaiba is actually attending class for once. I bet he's very happy to be one of the best duelists and be rich. But he was beaten by Yuugi...So he isn't the champion anymore. He is probably mad that he is no longer the best. If I was him, I would.
Next time both of them duel I hope Kaiba beats Yuugi. It would make me happy to see Yuugi lose.
Suddenly everyone starts to get out of their seats. It is break. Now I can finally open my pack!
Before I reach down in my back pack to get it, I make sure no one is watching me. The coast is clear. I do not want to draw attention and let my 'friends' know what I am doing. Good thing they are busy talking to each other and Miho.
I bring the pack up to my desk. I look at the cover. The Black Magician Girl Duel Monster is on the front of the pack. What an awesome Duel Monster. I hope I get a card of her. She is so cool. I bet everyone likes her. She's so lucky...
I am about to pick up the pack but a hand beats me to it.
"What's this?" A voice asks.
I look up. It is a group of girls.
"I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff." She glances at the pack, then looks back at me.
"...." I don't say a word.
"I can't believe you spend your time on this kind of crap!" She continues to rant on and on. What a bitch.
I still don't speak. I don't think I need to. I know this girl and her group are bad news. They think they are the best just because they have good looks.
"Hey! Mazaki! Why won't you respond?!"
Keep quiet Anzu, keep quiet.
"Fine, whatever." Those were the last words that came out of her mouth before she did the unbelievable.
She threw my pack on the floor. How dare her.
She and her friends walk away. I don't do anything to them. I am too busy diving on the floor for my pack. I don't want to lose it.
To make things worse, it landed in the one spot I didn't want it to land; under Kaiba Seto's desk. It wouldn't have been a problem if Kaiba wasn't there, but he is. He is and I can't do anything about it but just sneak over and grab it and run off.
I crawl over to his desk. His seat is only two seats behind mine, so I am not noticed by my classmates. The pack is right next to his foot. I can get it, I know I can. I am confident that I can get it. I reach for it but the foot right next to the pack moves and is put on top of my pack.
"What do you think you're doing?" I heard a voice. Obviously it was Kaiba's. Who else would have a voice as frightening as his?
Being the idiot I am, as soon as I hear his voice, I jump up from being surprised and hit my head under the desk.
"Ow!" I yell in a whisper while I stand up.
"Well?" Kaiba asked.
"......" Here I go again. My throat begins to feel like a lump is in it. I'm afraid to speak. I don't want to speak. I don't want to.
"Keeping quiet will not help in any way." He gives me a glare. I can tell he is angry since I won't speak.
I watch him bend down and pick up my pack of cards.
"These yours?" He asks.
I can only manage a nod. He hands it to me and I whisper a 'thank you.'
"I bet you will only get average cards." He tells me quietly as he takes his seat.
I can tell he is eager to see what is in my pack—being the Duel Monsters fan he is. However, he looks calm. I think he doesn't want to show that he cares about my pack. Sometimes I wonder why he is always angry.
I turn to face the side; I want to open my pack near him. He talked to me; even know he wasn't being nice. Still, I'll let him see what I get out of my pack.
So I opened my pack.
I look at each card slowly. It turns out I pulled out a rare card! It is called 'Wingweaver.' An attack of 2750! I can't believe it. Even cooler, it is a fairy card. This is the best card I have ever gotten! I feel happy...But within seconds, the happiness fads away to sadness.
I am alone.
I look over to Kaiba. He is now reading one of his books. I decide to play dumb and ask him if any of the cards I got in my pack are worth while. I hope he will answer when I ask him.
I step closer to his desk.
"Kaiba..." I whisper.
His eyes shift to face me. I don't know what to say next.
"Yes?" He asked in an annoyed tone.
He answered. Kaiba Seto answered. Is he being polite by answering or does he really care about me?
What the hell am I thinking? Of course he was just being polite. He isn't the kind of person to just ignore people. Kaiba will let you know straight forward that he doesn't want to talk to you, or does.
"...." I can't speak. Damn it.
"You can go now. I'm not interested in talking to you." He speaks.
Looks like I was right about him being straight forward.
Before I can stop myself words just start coming out.
"I opened my pack and I don't know if I have any worth while cards so I wanted to ask you to look at them and tell me since you are such a good duelist." What now? Will he help me out or be a jerk?
"Go ask your friends. You're wasting my time."
..And he ends up being a jerk. Doesn't he know that Yuugi and the others hate me? Or has this not gotten out to the school yet? It will get out soon, I just know it...
Wait! I have to be strong! I just have to! Try one more time Anzu! I know you can do it!
Great, now I'm talking to myself. Just great.
"They are busy. Could you just look?" Good, I'm talking again.
"No." Why does he have to be so distant? This guy talked to me and made me feel wanted. I don't know how I felt this way, but I want to talk to someone!
"Oh...Okay..." I walk to my seat in defeat. I was so close to be able to have a conversation with someone. So close...
Time to go to lunch. I don't feel hungry. Why do I always have this empty feeling inside my stomach? Why won't it go away even if I eat a lot?
I have to face Yuugi and the others now. If I just stay quiet like usual I'll be okay.
When I sit down in an empty seat at our table, I can hear Otogi talking about a new video game. Too bad I don't get to talk about the game. I own it and it is easy for me. But they don't care about me so I don't need to waste time by trying to talk to them.
In the same direction I am sitting in, there is another lunch table. I forget who sits there, but I know only one person sits there. Right when I see the young man who always sits there sit there, I remember who it is. It is Kaiba Seto.
I wonder if he ever gets lonely. I wonder if he wants any friends, or even a lover. It looks like he likes to be alone. I don't like to be alone. Not only are you lonely, but you feel empty inside. Maybe he has gotten use to not being social. Or maybe having Mokuba as a friend is all he needs...WAIT!
...Why is he now always on my mind? Do I....like him?
