'Thoughts'
Chapter 9- A new ally…?
After the phone call, Seto had left to go pick up Elan, leaving Kisara and Rwet at the apartment. Kisara was making up some lunch, while Rwet sat and watched the news. Rwet sat on his fold out bed; the pillow still clutched between his arms. Kisara waked over to him, drying her hands on a towel.
"Hey, you want anything to eat?" she asked. Rwet slowly nodded his eyes blank as in lost thought. Kisara stared at him for a second more, the turned and walked back into the kitchen. Rwet sighed, clutching his pillow even tighter. It had been about an hour since Seto left, and Kisara said he would be back soon. About 5 minutes after she came out and asked Rwet for some lunch, she came out with some pasta and a drink.
"Here…" she placed the plate in front of Rwet on the coffee table. The boy looked at it oddly, the scoffed and turned away from the food. Kisara sighed.
"Rwet, what is wrong!?" she said loudly. The other just curled into a small ball.
"I'll eat it later…" he said, his eyes still on the TV. Kisara sighed. Rwet really was too moody for his own good…and he's tiredness was making it worse. The blue haired woman sighed again and just decided to leave Rwet alone for now. Walking back to the kitchen, she suddenly heard the door open. Kisara turned to it.
"Ahh, Seto, your finally back!" she said happily. Seto walked in, another woman on his tail. Kisara smiled. "Hey Elan," she greeted to the other. The woman took off her shoes and stood up. She had blonde highlights over a head of natural dark brown color hair. It was now up in a high ponytail. She was decently tall, not as much as Seto, and a little smaller that Kisara. She was in her later 20's, younger than Kisara or Seto, who were in their later 30's/early 40's. Her eyes were a deep green blue, and she was wearing a light black leather coat. She smiled at Kisara.
"Hey there!" She looked around and her eyes fell on the stranger, looking to be sleeping on the futon. She looked at Kisara and Seto oddly.
"Who's that…?" she whispered to Seto. The man had just hung up his coat and looked over at the boy.
"Oh, that's Rwet. He's the one who yelled at you on the phone. He's the other one." Elan stared at the small man.
"What…?" she whispered. Rwet slowly sat up and looked over, hearing their voices and another of someone he didn't know. Slowly, his eyes settled upon Elan. Suddenly he smelled an aroma coming from the girl. It was near the same as the men who took Shwt away! Rwet stood and whipped around to face her, a scowl forming on his face and his eyes narrowing in anger. Elan, confused, took a step back in fear. Kisara and Seto both saw Rwet's reaction to her appearance, and were both confused.
"Rwet…" she stepped forward. "Don't worry. Elan's not bad, she's here to help not to hurt." Rwet glared.
"She smells like the man did…" he said icily, eyes narrowing more. Kisara looked to Elan. The girl shook her head in confusion. Kisara looked back to Rwet.
"What are you talking about Rwet?" she asked. The young man just glared more.
"She smells like the one who took Shwt away…" he hissed. Kisara looked back at Elan.
"Wait…you must be talking about…" she gasped and whipped back to Rwet. "Rwet, that's because she works at the same place as he did! She's not there any more ok!? She's here to help us find Shwt! Just accept her for now please!?" Rwet slowly let down his aggressive stance and folded his arms.
"Fine…" he mumbled. He then turned back around and sat on the futon again, placing his arms behind his head and closing his eyes in tiredness and annoyment. Kisara sighed and turned back to Elan.
"Sorry…" she started, but the girl waved it off.
"Oh, no worries Kisara. It seems that your friend is a little...more different, then others I've met anyway..." she said. Kisara nodded to her and then turned to look at Rwet again. He had now sat up and was nibbling slightly on the food that she gave him. Kisara turned back to the kitchen.
"I'm going to finish eating. Seto, you put her coat in the closet ok." Seto nodded, taking Elan's coat from her and hanging it up. Elan walked into the apartment more, trying to keep her distance from the one on the futon. Rwet was drinking some of the soda Kisara gave to him when he felt a pair of eyes watching him. He turned to look at Elan. The girl immediately froze as his eyes locked with hers. She could feel those violet depths searching her, almost seeing into her soul. Rwet stared at her for a couple more seconds, till sensing no more danger and going back to his food. Elan backed away slightly from him after that, but then turned to Seto.
"What exactly is he Seto…?" she asked. Seto shrugged.
"Well…I can't say what he is, because he's human. But then he's not…" the man turned toward their little friend. "They're very confusing…I can't really say Elan." The green eyed one nodded. Turning to where the TV was, she walked forward and sat down in one of the sofa seats, trying to keep her eyes off of Rwet. The boy heard her sit down and looked over at her. Though she saw him look over, Elan resisted the urge to look back, not wanting to look into those soul searching eyes again. After a long drawn out silence, Rwet finally said something.
"You know where Shwt is…" he asked quietly. Elan slowly turned to him.
"I-I don't know who Shwt is…" she answered back. Rwet stood up and walked in front of her. Elan moved back into the seat as the light came to be barley 5 inches away from her. He leaned down to her shoulder, and sniffed the material that was her shirt. Elan tensed, not really knowing a human acting this way. Rwet pulled back to glare at her.
"You've been where Shwt's been…or you've been where the black man is…where are they?" he asked his own face barley an inch from Elan's. The girl swallowed in fearfulness.
"I-I…I'm sorry…but…I really don't know anything…" she said quietly. Rwet stared into her eyes, searching for lies or truths. When becoming satisfied that she was not lying, he moved away from her.
"You are not lying…" he said, going back to sit of the bed. Elan swallowed nervously.
"What are you…really?" Rwet turned to her. "The government for some reason wants you…why?" Rwet shrugged.
"I do not know…but they have my dark…" his eyes and voice darkened. "And I will not rest till I get him back…" Elan nodded in understanding.
"I…I see," she said. Rwet grunted and flopped down onto the bed, closing his eyes again. Silence once again hung the room. Elan looked around for Kisara and Seto, but didn't see them in the living room. Turning back to Rwet, she took in a deep breath. And let it out.
"So…is Shwt you brother or something?" she asked. Rwet cracked an eye open to look at her.
"No." he answered simply. The green eyed one cocked her head to the side.
"Then…friend? Other type of family?" Still, he shook his head.
"Shwt is my dark." He answered. Elan scratched the back of her head.
"What…do you mean by that…?" she asked hesitantly. Rwet now opened both eyes.
"He is my dark. My mate." Elan's eyes widened.
'Mate…!? Then they're lovers? But...' Elan was clearly confused.
"Wait…Rwet, Shwt is a man right?" Rwet looked at her oddly, but nodded. Elan shook her head.
"But…then he's you lover?" Rwet shrugged.
"Yes, you can put it that way. I think of Shwt being my other…" he paused for a second, looking up at the ceiling, a small smile forming on his lips. "Yes…yes he is. He's my lover." Elan just stared on. She was sitting next to a homosexual…who had strange powers and wasn't even human. How weird could you get!?
"Rwet…at what lengths would you go at to save Shwt…?" The boy looked over at her.
"Anything. My life, my soul…" he looked up at the ceiling again. "If anything gets in my way, or they hurt him at all…they will pay…" Elan stared at the boys longing face.
"Rwet…I have a feeling your getting yourself into some greater trouble then ever before…" Rwet looked over at her smiling.
"Believe me…I have experienced more then you know…" he whispered a smirk playing on his lips. Elan did not like that expression, but let it slide.
"And…by that you mean…?" Rwet turned his head toward her.
"Why are you asking me so many questions?" he asked, a hint of agitation in his voice. Elan looked around the room, not wanting to look at him.
"I just…want to know more about you. So that maybe…so that…" she paused. "So that I can help you." Elan turned her green eyes back on Rwet.
"I want to help you Rwet, but I must know a little about you and your other help. Can you tell me…what have you experienced?" Rwet sighed.
"I don't know, you tell me," he snapped slightly. "You're the one who seems to have knowledge of before this world turned to ruins…you tell me what I did." Elan moved her hand to the nap of her neck.
"Rwet…I…I can't tell you what happened. You should remember right?"
"Wrong," Rwet answered quickly. "I don't remember." He turned his body to face Elan. "My memory begins in light and nothing more that that. All I remember is just…light. And the same thing with my dark…he remembers nothing either. But Kisara and Seto told us that we had different names before this catastrophe…" Elan stared at him.
"And what were they Rwet?" she asked slowly. Rwet shifted so one of his arms was behind his head.
"They called me Yugi…and Shwt Yami…" he said closing his eyes for a second when trying to remember them, then opened them after he finished talking to see a gawking Elan. He cocked his head. "Are…these names similar to you…?" he asked, sitting up. Elan nodded.
"Yugi and Yami…were very well known…" she started. Rwet sat up, wanting to hear more about him and Shwt.
"Please, tell me what you know," Rwet pleaded. Elan nodded.
"Well…from what I know Yugi and Yami were Duel Monster Champions. There was a rumor that they cheated, dueling together in duels, but it was quickly gone as both dueled against one another. Anyway, I remember, after another world destroying feat, both of them disappeared. At the time they disappeared I was a reporter for world news and they told me to try and find out what happened to them." Rwet, intrigued by this, was sitting on the edge of the bed, making sure he caught every word she said. Elan continued on. "My research lead me to Egypt, where I found out about some undercover group. I began snooping around, but one of the leaders of the group found me and kicked me out. From then on, there was always some person following me. I had no idea how, but that is not the point. I remember, one day, that no one was following me. So, I decided to try again in getting information. As a reporter, I had to get the dirt no matter how hard. So, I snuck into their hideout place, and managed to get a glimpse of some of the higher ranked individuals. They seemed to be waiting for someone, but I didn't know whom. I waited for them to do something, but never did they talk, move or anything. But they all seemed to be communicating…somehow. Soon, after about five minutes they all rose and turned toward the door. I didn't know why, but I soon felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around, but before I saw who were behind me, I blanked out. I don't know how or even why, but that's what happened. Anyway, when I woke up I was back in my hotel room. I remember sitting up and trying to remember who taped me, and all I could remember was that one man had red eyes and the other had violet eyes. Just like yours. Except then, your seemed more intelligent and aware of things. Unlike now…it's just different. That's why I didn't recognize you when I saw you earlier." Rwet stared at her, as she finished talking.
"So…you…mean we were…assassins…?" he asked. Elan shook her head.
"I do not know. After that black out I gave up on the story of them because it was just not worth it. They weren't causing any harm so I just dropped it. But let me asked…what color are Shwt's eyes. Because you never know, those two might not have been you." Rwet smiled.
"My Shwts eyes are crimson," he said happily. Elan nodded.
"Then it was you." Rwet smiled faltered a little, but you could still see a tiny bit of it still there.
"So…we were well known…I see." He looked out the window. "But…we did something that hurt and killed so many people and things…why would we…?" Elan shrugged.
"Maybe there's more to you then you know. Much more Rwet. But for now, we know you have a small amount of some kinda magic. So Shwt must too…" she placed her hand on her chin. "Then the government must want it…" Rwet's head shot up.
"What!? Wait, why!? How!?" he asked quickly. Elan held up her hands in defense.
"Whoa, whoa! One second! All I can tell you Rwet is that they took your dark, and they seem to want to experiment on him. That's all I know. And if they find something useful, then they might take it." Rwet started clenching his fists.
"What if what they want kills him…" he whispered huskily. Elan looked to the ground.
"Then they'll take it anyway…they don't care if their taking a life…as long as they get what they want…" Rwet felt pure hatred start to boil up inside of him.
"Those bastards…" he muttered. Elan looked over at him.
"You really shouldn't go after to save him…they will get you too, and if you dark couldn't get out of this…I doubt you can Rwet." The man looked up at her. "They have guards at the place I work that will kill without hesitation," she said. Rwet started to smile.
"As will I Elan…" he said, his voice barley above a whisper. "As will I…" Nisa, after herring him, slowly skunked back in her seat, away from him. Rwet had bloodied his hands before, and so has Shwt. Maybe Rwet could get in, because really…that was the easy part. It was getting out…that, was the really problem. Elan then looked around. Where have Kisara and Seto been this whole time…?
"Hey…Rwet, where did Kisara and Seto go…?' she asked. Rwet was twisting one of his blonde bangs on his finger.
"Into their room…Kisara finished eating," a grin appeared on his face. "Heh…blackmail…" he mummered, his grin widening. Elan sweatdropped.
"Ok then…" she said. Turning back to the TV, she saw that the news was still on. Picking up the remote, she changed the channel.
"News is boring," she turned to VH1. "Music videos rock!" Rwet turned to see some woman is skimpy outfits singing to horrifying music.
"Eh…no thanks," he said, resisting the urge to gag slightly. (A/N- sorry ;;; don't like those artists…-gags- XD) Elan shrugged turning back to the Television and watching the freaky video. Rwet, getting slightly annoyed of that walked over to the closed bedroom door of Kisara and Seto. Without knocking, he opened it.
"I'm getting bored. If you two are done yet, lets start trying to find Shwt," and at that said he closed the door again, walking over to the futon again. Not merely 10 seconds later, two flustered beings came out of the bedroom. They were glaring at Rwet slightly.
"Have you ever heard of knocking!?" Seto yelled, flinging his arms in the air. Rwet smirked as he looked up at them.
"What is knocking?" he asked, putting on some cute little chibi eyes. Seto stared.
'He still has the puppy eyes look!?' He thought, twitching slightly. Rwet started to laugh as his little act worked. He didn't know why he decided to look all cute, but he knew someone would give in soon. Seto sighed in frustration and Kisara fell onto the chair.
"Ok, Rwet ok!" Seto said loudly, sitting next to him on the futon. "We'll start looking for Shwt." Rwet smiled happily.
"Yay! So, how are we going to do this?" Seto grinned. He handed Rwet a computer.
"Ok, I know this is new to you, but I think everything will click as soon as you start," he pointed to the keys on the laptop. "That's the keyboard. You do every html code on there." Rwet then held his hands in front of himself.
"Whooh! Wait, what!? What's html?" he asked quickly. Seto grinned.
"You'll figure it out!" he chirped. Rwet glared at him. Miracle
"And how will I do that…?" Kisara smiled for Seto.
"You used to be a great hacker when you were younger! You were an expert at computers and games, so Seto thinks you'll be able to remember once you start." Rwet sweatdropped.
"Um…ok, I'll try…" Seto grinned.
"Just type in any keys that seem logical to do. Just try if for a while. Me and Kisara might go into town to find some stuff." He turned to Elan.
"But Elan, do you think they have Shwt at where you work?" She shook her head.
"No, they said that they were going to do the project in a secret place. I don't know where it is." Seto nodded.
"I thought as much. Ok then, Kisara and me will go to the streets. Elan, the main computer of ours in open to you," he pointed to the large monitor and computer that was over on a large working table. "It'll have the same properties as the one at your work. Also, you should help Rwet," he looked over at the man, who had his eyes locked on the screen, scanning the contents with in it, and putting in coded in each place. Seto grinned.
"Alrighty then. Were off!" he waved goodbye and left the apartment with Kisara. Elan smiled at walked over to Rwet.
"So, how's it going?" she asked. Rwet grinned.
"Seto was right…it does feel like…" he paused to search over the screen. "That I've done this before. It's kinda fun…but," he stopped typing to look up at her. "I remember doing it a bit different." Elan smiled.
"Usually expert hackers have head gear so all their looking at the screen and nothing else." Rwet nodded.
"Yeah…that sound easier." He went back to typing in codes. "So…what exactly am I supposed to hack into?" he asked, turning the computer to face Elan. Elan looked over all the files listed and her eyes widened.
"You already got here!?" he yelled. Rwet looked a little a taken back.
"Huh…is that a bad thing…?" he asked. Elan shook her head.
"The fasted I ever did was one hour to get here. But, I'm not the best at hacking and I make to many mistakes on the codes to do much. Anyway, you want to get into all these mainframes," She highlighted about 10 of them. "First, and then these," she highlighted more in another color. "Second. And they must be in order. If you mess up on these two though…we'll be locked out ok?" She had pointed to two of the links that showed up. Rwet nodded.
"Alright!" he said happily. Then moving back so his back was against the couch, he returned to typing. Elan smiled. She didn't know that these two had so many talents. Curious, she asked Rwet.
"Hey Rwet, what can Shwt do…do you think? Like I know you can't remember, but any ideas?" Rwet looked up at her, no ceasing his typing.
"Shwt is very good at fighting, we both are. Shwt and me…I think we used to work together on hacking and destroying. I can't shut down a computer or multiple ones that I am not connected to. Shwt can do that…I think." He looked up at Elan. "I remember doing something like that before." Elan smiled.
"So, your memories are beginning to return?" she asked. Rwet smiled and turned back to the computer.
"Sorta…I can't really say. Things just come in small small pieces. Us being computer hackers is very small. Or so…I think." He looked back up at Nisa and grinned. "But once we get Shwt back, everything will better!" Elan smiled and nodded to the boy.
"I'm gona start on my part k'?" Rwet nodded, and turned back to his work. Elan walked over and sat down at the computer chair and turned it on.
'I am now really wondering what Shwt is like…Rwet speaks so highly of him. But that's because their lovers. Shwt sounds aggressive. Or from what I heard from Seto, when they first met him, he was very very protective of Rwet.' The screen flicked on and Nisa sighed. 'Well, were defiantly going to get him back' she turned over to Rwet. 'Cuz with this kid here, not getting him back is not and option'
