Chapter 3: Meeting the Wheelers

Julie ran down the damp streets, towards the KC skyscraper that now centered the attention of each and every human being in Domino City. The rain had stopped, and the sun began to peak from behind the traveling clouds that now began to break loose. Giant puddles spread everywhere splashed against the sides of Julie's leather boots as she kept on getting more curious by the second. Slowing down near the crowd, she gazed around at the busy scene. Cops were putting up yellow tape around the building as more reporters struggled to get more information of the abduction; besides the "X" mark. People started following the cameramen in hopes of being on T.V and jumping up behind reporters to talk about what they thought about this whole event.

Julie pushed through the bustling herds of chatting humans, wondering if she could as well get any information to what might have truly happened. Of course she knew that newspapers said all. However, there are some information which you cannot get unless you talk to someone who actually witnessed the event.

Problem was---She didn't know anyone who had.

Looking left and right, Julie hoped to find someone who might have some answers to her questions. She noticed a boy her age with blond hair that fell across his eyes, talking fast with a grin on his face in front of the news camera.

" Yeah so as I said, I think that Kaiba's conscience has gotten the better of him! Maybe now he will regret the things he'd done to us in heaven!" he said in a somewhatNew Yorkeraccent (A/N- sorry if I can't make Joey speak in his so-called accent. But I think you get the idea.).

A red-haired girl, a little shorter than the boy, stood shyly next to him as she looked down at the ground and winced every time he mentioned "Kaiba." She wore a pink short-sleeved top and hazel flowered skirt that reached up to her knees. As for the boy, he wore jeans with a navy blue jacket over a white shirt that he wore underneath. Although they both didn't look that much alike, Julie could still tell that they were siblings.

" Hey, hey!! Come back here, I still got more to tell ya!!" the boy waved at the cameraman who was starting to get bored and walked away. The boy sighed and looked at his sister, " Well Serenity, I think that's all we can do now. I guess we should go home."

The girl looked at him with tears strolling down her face. " How can you say that, Joey? Can't you see this is not a matter of joke? I came here because I was worried about Kaiba and wanted to be there for his little brother. I came because I care for the ones I love and wanted to protect them in any way I can. And you? You are babbling away in front of the camera about how you hated Kaiba for all these years?!" She started to shout at him, making the by passers to stare at them rather than the mysterious occurrence.

" Hey sis, I…I wasn't really serious when I said that he's in heaven, I mean…"

He stopped when Julie approached them with a concerned look on her face. The boy took the girl's shoulder and pushed her softly behind him so he could face the stranger alone.

The boy put a serious frown on his face and spread his arms out to protect his sister who waited with a frightened expression. Julie wasn't surprised why he was doing this. Because of her dark costume with the long black overcoat, gloves, boots, and hat, she looked more like a kidnapper rather than a slayer.

" What do you want? We aint got nothing for ya so back off before I start going all kung fu!" the boy said, now clenching his fists and bringing it up in front of his chest.

" Sorry but I don't wish to harm or fight you," Julie took off her hat, releasing strands of silky raven hair that curved every corner of her head. " I'm just hear to ask some questions about the abduction."

" Oh yeah?" the girl stepped forward and glared at her. " How do we know that you're not the one who kidnapped Kaiba?"

Julie smirked and placed her hat back on her head. " If that were true, I assume I would have never came back to the scene of the crime. Isn't that so?" now looking at the girl who blushed in shame for asking a dumb question.

" I was just overhearing your brother saying that he and the CEO of Kaiba Corp had some kind of personal conflict between each other. If I'm correct, I would say that you two must have known Kaiba for a long while now." She said like a professional detective.

Both of the siblings looked at Julie as if she was some psychic person. How did she know that they both knew Kaiba for years now?---ever since he threatened Yugi's grandpa in a duel. In fact, how in the world did she know that they were both siblings?

" I don't know how you knew all that but it's true. We knew Kaiba ever since we could remember. But I must say that this is the weirdest thing ever! I mean he suddenly getting abducted? An X mark appearing on paper? Trails of blood in his office? This has to be some kind of supernatural curse or something. And trust me, I know! After facing all these wierdos in Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, Noah's virtual world, and the Atlantis people, I'll believe anything!" said the blondie.

" I see, I have heard about the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournament but never have I heard of the other two. Clearly you must have faced more danger than I have." Julie responded. " By the way, do you know where Kaiba's brother might be? Maybe he knows more than what the newspaper said about him."

" Sorry, no. I heard he ran down from his brother's office carrying the paper he found with the "X" on it," the girl started talking. " He handed it to the policemen and suddenly ran away, saying that he will search for his brother himself." She lowered her face, " If only we were hear, we could have stopped him or…or…helped…" she began to sob on his brother's shoulder.

The boy soothed her affectionately as he looked back at Julie. " Hey listen, we didn't properly introduce ourselves that much. I'm Joey Wheeler and this is Serenity. I think it would be better if we go from this place since it's really hitting a chord at my sister here."

" Sounds great to me. I don't think I'll be getting much information if we stay too long." Julie said as she took out a hand. " My name's Julie Marinako by the way."

" Nice name, fits you well I guess." He shook her hand. " Hey, I was gonna go to my best bud's house after this, wanna come? He might give you some more answers if you want 'em."

" Sure. But, do you think we can stop at my mansion first? I need to get changed from my wet clothes." Julie took off her overcoat revealing a black half-sleeved shirt underneath.

(A/N: I'm gonna use their names rather than "the boy" or "the girl")

Joey didn't know whether to gasp at her having a mansion, or blush at her awesome figure. " Ok, cool. Seems Kaiba's not the only guy here with a lot of money."

" I suppose not," Julie hung her overcoat around her arm and smiled. " Come on, let's go. I think your sister there will feel better the sooner we leave."

"Right. Come on sis, let's go. Don't worry, we'll find a way to help Kaiba and his brother. Julie and the others will help us as well"

Serenity peeped her head up and looked at Joey. " But big brother, do you think we should trust that girl?" she motioned her head at Julie. " You just met her and she seems like a criminal to me."

" Oh don't be silly, sis. Look, if she hangs out with us then that will give us a better chance to know her right?"

" I guess so," Serenity wiped her eyes. " You're right big brother, she might not be all what it seems."

" Alright, now that all the superstitions about me are over, we could take leave now," Julie said as she started walking away.

" Right behind ya." Joey took his sister's hand and followed Julie out of the crowd.

Silly me, that girl can't be a criminal. How wrong for myself to judge someone without knowing their true self. Like my mother used to say, You can't judge someone until you walk two moons in his moccasins (A/N-Got that out of Walk Two Moons). She is nothing more than an average girl---nothing more. Serenity thought as they walked towards Julie's mansion.

(MEANWHILE)

A dark chilly feeling crawled up his spine. The surrounding felt like a dead house, broken down and dingy. The howls of the icy wind rang against his ears as he sat up feeling like a hollow empty shell.

He licked his lips and felt his fangs that stuck out of his mouth. He gasped as he reached behind and noticed his hair had gotten longer and himself sitting there completely naked. A sudden jolt of pain gushed through his forehead as he quickly covered it and fell down, squiggling and trying to stop his pain by digging his sharp claws into his skin.

Soon, the pain slowly started to heal and the claw marks began to show themselves as he removed his hand and lied on the floor. He kept his eyes closed and tried to remember what had happened. He couldn't think---it felt like his entire thinking process had been swept away from him.

Opening his eyes, he looked up at the broken down ceiling and rubbed his stomach. He felt like he hadn't eaten for years and knew that this was the perfect time to. The sun began to set in the west and the birds began to fly their way home. He put on some clothes that were kept on a sheet-covered loveseat---a purple loose collared shirt that was unbuttoned down to his chest and leather tight black pants. He tied his hair into a ponytail and looked into the broken down mirror. His eyes were bright crimson as he smirked at himself, revealing his white fangs.

Then he turned and walked up to the open window. He looked at the silent town that was placed in the distant. He gazed up at the moon as the wind almost swept up off his feet.

" I'm hungry. Maybe now I should feed myself to a beautiful female," Kaiba said as he jumped all the way down and landed on the front yard of the broken down house. As the lights began to turn on in Domino Town, he ran like the wind towards it, hoping that today he would completely satisfy his hunger.

The End. Yup, you all know what to do at times like these. Review please! Wow, that rhymed too!!
