Anaya's Creator: For those of you who read the last chapter of Lost Green Eyes read it again. I made several adjustments to it.
Malik: Am I in the story yet?
Anaya's Creator: No, and don't give me the "puppy-dog pout" or you'll be booted out of here.
Malik: (grumbles miserably) Anaya's Creator does not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Anaya's Creator: Thanks for all the reviews so far people. Must have more...
She's Really Blind?
At lunch, it was a nice day so pretty much everyone was outside. Unlike most of the kids who were sitting with their friends, Rogue took her lunch and went over by the fence that separated the high school section of the school from the middle school. A smile came to her face as she heard the children playing and having fun. Adan gave a loud screech and Rogue gave him his lunch, which had been packed in with hers.
"Well, today wasn't so bad so far, right Adan?" she asked and took a bite of her bologna and ketchup sandwich.
The falcon gave a screech in reply.
Rogue laughed. "Yeah, my stupid classmates were dumb enough not to figure out I that can't see; you'd think that they'd never seen a blind person before. You'd better eat that mouse before another bird does," Adan picked up his meal by the head threw it up in the sir a bit then chomped down on it. She was sitting enjoying herself when she heard people approach her.
"Eww! Gross!" she heard a prissy voice exclaim.
"It's eating a poor dead mouse, that's so cruel."
"How can you live with yourself? Feeding a mouse to your bird, like that."
"Wake up prissy," Rogue snapped. "That's the way nature works, most all predator birds, which includes falcons, eat meat; he can't help that. What am I supposed to do, forbid him from doing what comes naturally? Now that would be cruel." Then over from the middle school side of the fence, she heard voices that didn't sound so friendly.
"Fork over your lunch money, kid," said a rough demanding voice. It must have belonged to a bully.
"I swear I don't have any," begged a kid.
"You'll have to excuse me, ladies," Rogue said in an extremely sardonic voice. "As much as I have enjoyed our little chat, I have other business to attend to." She felt her way to the fence that separated the two sects of the school and pulled herself over it with ease. As she approached the situation, she heard the rest of what was going on.
"Come on, kid, just hand over your lunch money and we'll be on our way," another rough voice said, this one was slightly higher than his companions.
"Hey, leave the kid alone," said a younger voice, before Rogue could get reach the kid who was being bullied.
That voice belongs to one of the other middle school kids, no doubt, Rogue thought. Perhaps I should just kind stick this out and see if I truly need to step in.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Kaiba's little brother?" another bully voice taunted. "Should we take your money as well?"
"I don't care, beat me up if you want, but leave that other kid alone." The bully had been right it was Kaiba's little brother. He was short, unlike his brother, and had long black hair and indigo eyes.
"Very well then," the bully took a step forward and stepped on a stick cracking it beneath his boot.
"Ha, how pathetic," Rogue said, finally making herself present to everyone. "Taking little kids lunch money, didn't you out grow that in elementary school?"
The bullies turned to her. "What do you want, Missy? This is no business of yours," one of the bullies taunted.
"Scram or we'll take you down too," a different voice goaded.
The sunlight flashed off of Rogue's sunglasses. "I would love to see you try," she said hoarsely, egging them on.
"As you wish;" One of the bullies charged at her and Adan gave a loud screech and jumped off her shoulder. As the bully charged, Rogue heard him coming, dropped her walking stick, and prepared to counter. Just at the right moment, when Adan screeched once more, she grabbed the fist headed towards her face and threw the boy over her shoulder. He flew into a tree and went unconscious. She slipped smoothly into a fighting stance and said, "Any other takers,"
The other bullies shivered a bit, and then one said, "Run away."
"Cowards," Rogue muttered. Adan flew over, picked up her staff, and dropped it in her hands, then went back to his spot on her shoulder. She turned and made her way to where she had heard the younger boys' voices. "Are you two boys alright?" she asked, turning her head from side to side as if she were looking for them.
"I'm right in front of you, Miss," said Mokuba's voice. He was the only one around now
Adan screeched, and Rogue looked in front of her, looking down slightly. "Well, are you okay, and what happened to that other kid?"
"I think he got scared and ran off, but I'm okay."
"Who are you anyhow, kid?" Rogue sat down on her knees in the grass and heard the kid copy her.
"Well, as you may have heard those bullies say, I'm Seto Kaiba's little brother, Mokuba. Who are you?"
"Name's Rogue, and that's all you need to know." She extended her hand and felt Mokuba shake it.
"I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?"
"I am,"
"Made any friends yet?"
"Not really,"
"You have now," Mokuba said laughing.
"Thanks, you know, that was a courageous thing you did back there with those bullies."
"What I did was nothing compared to you, you fought them. I was afraid."
"That's okay, Kido, there's something you need to understand that clearly your brother hasn't taught you yet: Courage is never the absence of fear, but the knowledge that something is far more important than the fact that you're afraid. Does that make sense?"
Mokuba nodded.
"Did you hear me?" Rogue asked him, but Mokuba's attention had now switched to someone standing above her and him, his older brother.
"Little brother, there was a rumor that there was some bullying going on with you involved. Tell me, are you alright? Did she do anything to you?"
"I'm fine, Seto, Rogue saved me. You should have seen what she could do. I'll bet she could take you on..."
"Okay, that's enough, little one." Rogue got up put a hand where Mokuba's voice was coming from and gave him a pat on the head. "Perhaps we'll meet again."
"I hope we do," Mokuba said.
Rogue nodded and turned to leave, but Mokuba stopped her.
"Hey, wait a second, Rogue," he pleaded, grabbing her free hand. "Seto, maybe she can come over our house for a while this afternoon and hang out."
Rogue felt the blood rush to her cheeks. "I don't know if that's a very good idea Mokie," she said, choosing her words carefully.
"Mokuba, I'm going to be very busy working for the next few days, I won't have time to hang out with your new friend," Kaiba told him.
"Well, she and I can hang out then and you can join us when you're done with your work. I truly don't see why you need to work any more now. The tournament..." Mokuba was going to continue, but Seto put a firm hand on his shoulder.
"That's enough little brother," Seto said rather off-handedly.
"What are you planning, some sort of Duel Monsters tournament like Pegasus did or something?" Rogue retorted.
Kaiba glared at her; she had guessed exactly what he had been planning. She was pretty sharp, for a blind girl. Before he could respond, Rogue did.
"No matter, I'm not really into dueling anyhow."
"Come over today and I can teach you," Mokuba exclaimed enthusiastically, giving her huge adorable puppy-dog eyes.
Rogue could picture the excitement on his face and the break-your-heart-cute puppy-dog pout he was, more than likely, giving her. Just thinking about this was more than enough to make her say yes.
"Yey! Meet you by the school gate when school lets out," Mokuba said. Rogue nodded and as she walked away, he turned to his brother. "Seto, Rogue's blind isn't she?"
Kneeling down to his brother's height, Kaiba took hold of his brother's shoulders and looked squarely in to Mokuba's eyes. "Yes, Mokuba, she is. But remember what I told you when we were still at the orphanage, don't trust her too much."
"I can't help it. She seems so much like a mother. Our mother must have been like her, was she Seto?"
"I don't know this girl well enough to tell you that Mokuba." Then the school bell clanged so loud it made their eardrums pound.
Finally, the end of school bell rang. Rogue got out of the classroom as quickly as she could. Not paying attention to where she was headed or Adan's warning screeches, she slammed into someone or something. Adan immediately started flying around her head, screeching as if to say "I told you so, you ignorant human!"
"I know, I know, shut-up you ridiculous bird. You're causing a racket," Rogue muttered furiously.
Satisfied, Adan began gathering Rogue's things and placing them in her hands.
"Sorry Rogue," said a timid male voice. She had obviously run into a person.
"Yugi, you need some help there, pal?" another boy's voice asked.
"I'm fine," the kid called Yugi answered as he helped Rogue pick up her things. Then without warning Yami suddenly took over. With deep curious violet eyes, he gave a very long look at Rogue.
Yami, why did you suddenly take over? Yugi asked through their mind link.
I feel a strange familiarity from this girl. I feel as though I know her from somewhere.
How could you know her... unless...
Yes, Yugi, I believe this girl could have something to do with my past.
Anaya's Creator: And that's the second chapter. Who likes?

Kaiba: You'll do fine. You studied didn't you?
