Chapter 38
Surviving
Kisty finally woke up officially on Monday morning at 3:00am, she was in a large amount of pain, but what was worse was Seto and Josh who where only feet from her were still fighting over whose fault it was for Kisty being in this mess. Kisty opened her eyes, and yelled something; both men stopped and looked at Kisty shocked and happy to see her awake but hearing what she said shocked the hell out of them both. "It not either of your faults it's mine own, alright," she paused with stress in her voice, "just stops arguing," said Kisty in a harsh tone for her voice was sore and rough.
Josh leapt to Kisty side, "Kisty," he said but the moment he tried to take her hand she pulled it away, "Don't touch me," she snapped, "Just leave me alone, I am tainted, no one needs me now," she said turning away from him.
Josh shook his head, "No, Kisty what are you talking about?" he pleaded reaching for her shoulder to turn her to face him, but then Kisty's other arm flexed and twisted Josh's wrist, "I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME AND I MEANT IT JOSH!" she snapped giving a hard tweak to his wrist causing it to pop.
Josh squinted as she finally let go of his wrist, which was hurting now, that was a tight grip she had he, was surprised by her strength after being chained and cut like she was and that his wrist was not broken, now. "Ouch," he said rubbing his wrist with the other hand, looking up at Seto.
"Kisty?" said Seto figuring that she was going to do the same if he tried to touch his daughter. "JUST GET OUT KAIBA YOU DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO ME!" yelled Kisty, "I have nothing to say to you SLAVE maker," she said angrily. Josh looked at Kisty "He had nothing …" Josh started to speak. Kisty turned and faced her father and Josh, "GET OUT BOTH OF YOU!" she snapped pointing to the door with her blue eyes appearing as heated flames of anger.
Seto did not move nor did Josh, "Don't make me call security," she snapped, with a fiery voice and picking up a near by object. Josh and Seto saw that Kisty was not lying and would make good on her threat. One thing that she picked up and made sure of was to have a reputation of going through with threats. "GET OUT!" she yelled, Seto and Josh saw Kisty's hand reach for the phone and before she could pick it up the two men were out of the room.
"Well that was a little ungrateful of her," said Joey, a few hours later while sitting in the waiting room at the front of the hospital. Seto and Josh told the gang what happened, Atem, Yugi, Tristan, Mokuba, Mai, Joey, and there three year old son Jono were there. "You should see what is going on up there now for that was only a few hours ago," said Serenity walking up to the group. "She won't let anyone in to see her, or touch her, and we may have to drug her just to check her bandages," she said.
"Sis, you're Kisty's doctor?" asked Joey in shock but not fully surprise since is sister did become a doctor to help people. Tristan got up and hugged his wife and kissed her, "When you get off work?" he asked with a smirk on his face. Serenity smiled, "Yes I am Kisty's doctor Joey, and Tristan my sweet cheeks, I will not be taking a double shift unless Kisty calms down with in the next few hours," she said.
Lisa walked in with Tea both holding their children Joey was right behind them with a fast food breakfast for everyone, Yugi got up and helped Tea with their son for the boy was getting heavy for her even at a year old and Mokuba took one of the twins while Seto took the other. "Sorry we're late, how's Kisty?" asked Tea brushing her hair with her fingers for it was a mess.
Serenity and everyone else looked at the ground, "She is acting like a bitch," said Serenity flatly. Everyone looked at her shocked except Lisa who took this as no surprise to her, her self knew about the attitude aftermath of a rape incident. "Well, I would expect that from some one that has just lost their virginity by force," said Lisa crossing her arms shooting a small glance at her father. Atem just kept his mouth shut, feeling that his daughter should take charge for once if he said anything she would probably beat him up.
Everyone looked at Lisa now, puzzled except for Atem, who knew what Lisa was about to talk about. Lisa had seen rape before in her life times, back in Egypt rape was a common thing when men got drunk, if you look beautiful and did not have bodyguards around you, you were practically considered meat for the thieves and lonely men.
"Look back in Egypt rape was common among thieves and very lonely men that just took what they wanted," she said, "I should know," she sighed at the end. Atem raised an eyebrow, and looked to his daughter for confirmation about the very touchy subject, his daughter was about to bring up.
Lisa gave a small nod to her father, so that he may speak, "Long ago in Egypt Lisa's mother was raped, along with her," he admitted Seto and everyone looked at Atem, they all knew that Tea was his wife in the past but in this time her heart belonged to Yugi. (Sorry folks I do believe in the Tea and Yugi coupling)
Lisa looked at the ground, "My father was dealing with an important matter at hand to stop a war and well, one night the place where my mother and I were hiding was attacked by thieves, my mother was raped and killed in front of me. Alexandra told Mokuba, and I once put it that Rebecca's ancient form was behind it to keep me from Mokuba. I was raped by the same men, I was only 16 at the time," she said trying to fight back her ancient memories from causing more pain then they were originally were.
Mokuba looked at his wife, "That's why you were aloud to come back at the age of 16, so that way you could relive the year that was stolen," he said with confidence that he choose the right woman to marry.
Lisa nodded, "Yes, but the memories are still there, however my body wasn't, so you got me, Moky my love just me as I should have been 5000 years ago," she said sitting next to Mokuba and there two sons.
Atem sighed as he replayed the memory in his mind; he remembered coming back to the palace to fine the priests telling him that his daughter was raped and his wife murdered. That is when everything went wrong for the next few months as Atem took out half the city to be killed but Lisa would show up at the executions and spare the people lives, and she had vowed to find the ones truly responsible.
She spilled blood just as they did with mothers almost the same way with a blade and her hand on the hilt of it. The revenge denied her access to the afterlife but Atem was coming back because of Yugi's wish that Atem would come back and have a second chance. Atem found his daughter in between life and death and brought her back with him to the present time with a new body and all sadly Bakura had to come back as well, that didn't really bother him too much since the man wanted to start over.
(Now you know why I have Egypt vs. Greece chapter as for Rebecca in the present time she moved on and out of Domino probably digging)
Serenity turned to Lisa, "Would you like to try and talk Kisty down, she will at least talk to the women but not the men, and she won't let anyone touch her, I need to give her some medicine and check her bandages," she said. Lisa smirked the same way her father it did at times when having the upper hand in Duel monsters, "Sure, since I know what she is going through, has she started throwing things?" she asked.
Serenity nodded quickly, "The recovery process has begin, excuse me boys, Moky and everyone else I have to go calm a certain CEO, Josh and Kaiba stay here," she said. Seto and Josh shook their head they wanted to go with her, "Were coming too," snapped Josh.
Lisa and Serenity shook their heads at the two men "You want another hurt wrist?" asked Serenity "you were lucky to get out of there with just that injury. I have part of my medical team with bruises the size of large napkins." Lisa rolled her eyes, "Tea would you come with me, Kisty is the godmother of you son, so she should listen to you if you could provide any advice not to mention I am going to need some back up if she gets feisty," she said. "Mai, would you come along also, I know how tough you can be if Kisty gets out of hand," said Serenity.
Mai got up and walked over to Serenity, Lisa and Tea, and headed for the elevator. Joey, Yugi, Atem, Seto, Josh, and Mokuba sat there wondering what the women of their group were going to do. Jono (Joey's son) was talking to Mokuba's two-year twin boys, and starting to play games together. Seto for a moment was about to say something to insult Joey and pull his nephews away however, Mokuba silenced him with an eye-piercing glare, that said, "Don't even think about it."
Kisty room
Kisty stood there in front of the window with a silhouette against the sunlight, dressed in two hospital gowns and bandages on her arms and legs. Kisty did not like how there was no back to the gown so she put on two of them and she had a problem with her back rear end now being exposed since that's how she was raped was from the rear.
She looked at the disarrayed room without moving her head, it was all her doing, good thing it was just chairs and a table or it would have been a real mess. Kisty leaned on the wall looking at the city in front of her, her blue eyes dark and coldly glaring eye were pointed at the Kaiba Corp building that stood second to her own companies building.
"I would like nothing more then to see that building burned to rubble," Kisty muttered looking at Kaiba Corp.
The door opened slowly, "Kisty?" spoke Serenity waving a little white cloth singling surrender. Kisty turned slowly, "WHAT!" she snapped glaring at the door with the same anger as before, she really angry at everyone now for they tried to drug her a few moments ago but won quickly with some quick wrist twisting.
Serenity opened the door the rest of the way, "It's time for me to check your bandages," she said. Kisty shook her head, "I there fine, I am fine," she said with a hiss of venom in her voice.
"Kisty, we understand what you're going though," said Tea sticking her head in the doorway. Kisty turned to face them "You don't know …nobody does leave me alone," she spoke in angry tone yet depressed as well , "Why don't you let me put it in prospective for you, Tea! I just got my ass bumped by six different men, and there laughs are echoing in my brain every time I see a guy or a married woman, I can't close my eyes to make them go away because they had me blindfolded, in the darkness I can still hear them. I felt their knives cut my skin, call me tainted and slave. YOU HAVE NOT ONE FUCKING CLUE WHAT IS GOING THROUGH ME!" she snapped.
Right then Tea back off, she knew actually what Kisty was going through she didn't think it was good to bring up her past being that she kind of didn't remember it very well the rape information from Lisa wasn't new since Alexandra did dig up information on just about everyone's pass in Egypt. Tea figured then she did not use the right words and shut her mouth, "Well Tea doesn't know right now because she doesn't remember her rape from the past. However I do, Kristen," spoke Lisa stepping in to the room. Kisty turned and looked back out the window, "Just leave me alone, Lisa," she said fighting her tears again.
"No, Kisty, I am telling you the truth I was raped at 16 so I know what is going on in your head remember your mother told me what happened years ago. I know you feel it is your fault, you feel like you need to get through this alone, that if you were stronger, faster, tougher, that you could have fought them off. Those bastards that did it to me, raped my mother then killed her and then did the same to me, except they let me live which I wish they didn't, at least at the time," she said.
Kisty turned and looked at Lisa, the woman had hit it right on the nail, ever word, and of what was happening in Kisty's mind. "I still hear those echoes of the thieves even if it was 5000 years ago, I still hear them today. Kisty, please let us help you though this," pleaded Lisa.
Kisty felt all the emotions running through her like a mighty river pushing at a fragile dam, Kisty couldn't hold for much longer she slumped down to the floor, and hugged her knees like a child would who was scared of the dark, she leaned against the wall looking at them. Lisa turned to Tea, Serenity and Mai, "You can come in now, and shut the door," she said as they slowly walked over to her niece.
downstairs
Seto and Josh had not slept in 24 hours and were beginning to show signs of exhaustion. Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Atem and Mokuba told Seto and Josh to lay back on the couch and rest but both of them refused the one thing they were worried about was right now crying upstairs or worst throwing a fit and beating up everyone in site.
"Seto you need to rest, if something happens I will wake you up, but you need to sleep big brother," said Mokuba worried. Seto shook his head; trying to fight off his sleep once again, his eyes were getting heavier.
Once Seto married Alexandra and Kisty became his daughter officially even though she was born out of wed lock, he had given up the all day all night work ethic, and his body like that he slept all the time now even if he had a few times he had to stay up late.
"Yugi help me here?" pleaded Mokuba. Yugi looked over from his son on his lap who was falling asleep as well, "Come on Kaiba, and Josh this goes for you too, Kisty is in good hands we won't let anything happen to her now," he said.
Josh sighed, and glared at Yugi, "The key word is 'now,' Yugi it should have been last night," he said trying to keep his frustration down for Chris was sleep in Yugi's lap. Seto just gave a muffled 'humph' as slowly his eyes closed again deciding Yugi was right for once.
Andrew and Matthew who were actually behaving for once walked over to their uncle, "Don't worry, Bunkie Set, Kis will get better," said Matt in his two-year-old voice. "Yeah," said Andy, "Kist, Kist will be better soon." Seto smiled at his nephews, "Thanks boys," he said messing with their brown and black hair filled heads and closed his eyes, they reminded him of Mokuba and him self when they were young.
Joey looked at Seto, "Bunkie?" he asked with a raise eyebrow trying to come up with a joke. Seto opened an eye, after leaning back and letting them shut again, "They have a problem with their 'U's" he said, " but love the sound of bee's," he said with a small chuckle hence the name "Bunkie, Mutt boy," laughed Kaiba lightly.
Kisty's hospital room
Kisty was hugging her knees on the floor weeping into them; she could not deal with it even being a CEO all the training in the world could not prepare her for this situation. "I hate this empty feeling," she coughed out finally.
Lisa nodded and rubbed Kisty's back gently avoiding the bandages she felt, "It will go away with time Kisty, you hurt right now, you need to rest, come on get back into bed and let Serenity looked at your cuts so they don't get worse."
Kisty shook her head, "I was raped standing, I can't do it anymore," she said. Lisa sighed, "You hate to lose right?" asked Lisa knowing her niece as if she was the true mother of her. Kisty nodded, "Yeah, it was one of the things that back stabbing pain in the ass tough me when he was training me to be ruthless and cold, it has become a habit," she said crossly.
Lisa raised an eyebrow, now she was getting somewhere, "Seto didn't have anything do to with it," said Mai coming to Kaiba's defense. Kisty's head shot up, "Yeah right, it was at his company, his research lab, his workers, and that was his gas they used not to mention he was the one that told me to go there at that time. You tell me that, "he did not not have nothing to do with it," he had everything to do with it!" she snapped. "I don't think so Mai, he agreed to observe the exam so that way the doctors wouldn't screw it up. I would stand behind a curtain while he watched from a one way mirror which, I didn't mind one bit at the time, but I do mind when it's my ass that got the crap fucked out of it," she said.
Lisa sighed, "Kisty, if you keep going like this you will lose out on life and they will win which I know you don't want that," she blurted out going back to the win lose method. Kisty closed her eyes and took a breath she heard the laughs, cat calls and everything ringing through her mind, 'slave girl,' it said in her mind.
Kisty felt the gag in her mouth again she would like nothing more then to tear out those men's throats with her bare hands. Lisa put her hand on Kisty's shoulder, "Get off the floor and in to that bed or by Ra as my witness I will throw you into it or take you home."
Mai, Tea, and Serenity looked at Lisa, for she was, threatening Kisty but then they saw the anger flare in Kisty's eyes they saw fire was burning within them, for she was not broken, hurt, but not broken what so ever.
"I am not getting back into that bed, I want to go home and kick someone's ass, or better yet get my revenge on who ever was truly behind this, meanly my father," snapped Kisty breathing hard with determination as her mine shouted one thing 'revenge death to them all.'
"Serenity, can we take her back to her house?" asked Lisa looking the autumn hair colored doctor. "I don't see why not, however there are a few tests I waiting for, plus I have to do a final check on her injuries," she said with a relaxed smile, seeing Kisty stand up.
Tea and Mai looked at Kisty two seconds she was on the floor crying, and now she wanted to kick some ass, something was definitely up, and they knew it too. "Once Dr. Serenity Taylor is done, with the final check you get dressed and we're out of here," said Lisa. Kisty nodded, "Right!"
downstairs in the lobby two hours later
Kisty was walking ahead of Mai and Tea, Lisa was next to her niece, as she marched with an emotionless face towards the exit of the hospital. Josh and Seto passed out on a couch as the women passed. Mokuba had put some sleeping pilled put in their drinks, thanks to Lisa an hour before.
Yugi, Joey, Tristan watched as the women got into an awaiting car, they looked at Serenity, "Were you sure that was a good idea?" asked Yugi after a few minutes watching Kisty drive off like a bat out of hell.
Serenity nodded, "Lisa and I looked Kisty over, I did a final exam and she was determined to get out of here as soon as possible, so I signed her release form and she is going home," she said.
Joey jumped up, "When I agreed to help Mokuba put those pill in the drinks, I wasn't expecting you to actually let Kisty walk out of here, on her own two feet" said Joey. Atem said nothing he chuckled at the sight of his daughter walking with Kisty out of the hospital both looking like they were about to let the 'shit hit the fan' as they say.
Atem got up and went to Joey, Tristan, Yugi and Serenity, "Relax guys, Lisa had to ride a horse back within 12 hours of her rape and witnessing her mother's murder, she knows what to do about Kisty, trust her," he said, "besides we got bigger problems," he looked over at Seto and Josh passed out on the couches.
Tea and Mai came back into the room, "Yugi, get Chris we're going home," said Tea with her arms crossed giving him an angry look. Yugi nodded, and picked up Chris from playing with the young Kaiba twins and Jono.
Mai looked at Mokuba, "Mokuba?" she said Mokuba put up his hands and looked at Mai, "I know take the boys home for Lisa, don't be surprised I knew she was actually planning something like this the minute she handed me the pills," he said.
"Umm, Joey can you make sure that Seto is taken home, I got to get the boys back to the mansion," said Mokuba. Joey nodded, "Sure, as long as Atem helps me with Kaiba," said Joey with a slight smirk.
Atem nodded, "One duel is all I asked," he said smirking back at him. Joey nodded, "ya, and we better put Josh in this duel, because we might have go tag team just to keep Kaiba's anger from getting physical."
"Sometimes life can be as bitter as dragon tears, but whether dragon tears are sweet depends entirely on how each man perceives the taste".
Translation: life is hard, even cruel – but it is what you make of it.

I want to thank DH for putting in that quote for it does go with this chapter nicely.
