Mokuba looked at the large crowd of reporters. He started to think that he wouldn't be able to handle them. He took a deep breath and walked to the podium in the conference room. Reporters hands raised. Mokuba pointed to one.

"Why were you at the restaurant last night?" She asked

"We were just having dinner" Mokuba sighed then pointed to another reporter

"Why was Mr. Kaiba's personal assistant there?"

"Kari was involved in an accident, we took her in"

Hands shot up again. Mokuba pointed to another.

"This question is for Miss. Kari"

Mokuba looked behind him. Kari walked to him and stood beside him.

"Go on" She said calmly

"Are you and Mr. Kaiba having a relationship?"

"No" She shook her head "I am guest at Mr. Kaiba's and that's all"

Mokuba picked another reporter.

"Is it true your stepfather experimented on a little girl to create a super human?"

"What!?" Mokuba yelled. Kari place her hand on his shoulder.

"I can assure you if such a thing did happen it has nothing to do with Mr. Kaiba, Kaiba Corp is now a game company. Anything to do with the old company has no involvement with this one"

"Are you sure?" The reporter asked smugly

"Very" She narrowed her eyes

"Maybe you should ask Mr. Kaiba"

"Huh?" Kari blinked

"This meeting is over!" Mokuba yelled and stepped off the podium. He stormed out and Kari followed.

"Mokuba"

"He has nothing to do with it! He doesn't!!!"

Kari hugged Mokuba tight.

"I know he doesn't Moki, and if he did…He'd tell us"

"Ahem…"

Kari looked up and her eyes met Seto's.

"Oh, hey Seto" She let go of Mokuba

"We need to talk" He said calmly

"What about?"

"Just come on, Mokuba go to the arcade or something" Seto ordered

"Ok…" Mokuba looked at the two and ran off


Seto closed his office door and looked at Kari. He couldn't think of how to put what he was going to say. Maybe he should start with something positive…

"You did good out there"

That was a start.

"Thanks"

"But there's something that the reporter said…"

"About the experiment?"

Seto slowly nodded and walked over to her. He placed his hand on her cheek.

"Don't be mad at me I only just found it out...but it's true what the reporter said, I don't know how she knows but it's true"

"Why should I get mad at that?"

"It's not that" He stroked her cheek with his thumb "You see…you were the experiment"

"What? How can it be me!?" She slapped his hand away

"I guess…you were at the wrong place at the wrong time"

"He ruined my life!!" She shoved passed him and ran out of his office

"Kari wait!" Seto called after her but she was gone.


Kari ran along the streets and eventually slowed down to a walking pace. She wiped the tears from her eyes.

"He ruined my life…I never found my way home…"

She stopped and looked at the sky. Gray clouds loomed overhead.

"Why does it always rain on me?" She sighed and continued walking. She didn't know where she was going, she could end up at the mansion or at Tea's…maybe at some random spot on the beach. The heavens opened and the rain poured down. Kari was soaked in seconds. She wiped the water from her face.

"You look lost"

"Huh?" Kari looked to a man at a small stall

"I said you look lost…are you?"

"Maybe…I don't know anymore"

"You have questions about yourself, you don't know if you should stay where you are or run, you don't know whether you've found true happiness"

"What are you, psychic?" She walked over to him

"Yes"

"So you knew it was going to rain?"

"Yes, and I know another thing"

"What?" She asked raising a brow

"This!" He pulled out a small bottle of what looked like aerosol and sprayed her with it. She felt dizzy and fell into the mans arms as a black van pulled up.
