Yami Shiro Inazuma: Dark White Lightning by Khitoutsu Hikutsa
Chapter Five: Wounds That Never Heal
A FEW HOURS LATER...
I kept my attention focused on Kaiba's ranting, effectively keeping my thoughts away from what I'd heard from downstairs in Mystic's room. Raikuru had vanished from my mind, so I couldn't hear what she was saying to Bakura.
"Have I made myself clear, Seiyousa?" Kaiba said, the tone of his voice making me flinch. I raised my eyes to meet his, the icy glare of his eyes reminding me of better times. I continued to glare while Lilliana stood off to the side, having just got there and was confused by the whole scenario. "Well Seiyousa, have I made myself perfectly clear?" I'd had it with Kaiba's attitude. Drawing my blade and shoving him against a wall, I pressed the sharp edge of the blade against his throat and dropped my voice to nothing more than a whisper so only Kaiba could hear.
"No one threatens the Hiryuu Bandit, Seto Kaiba, not even you. Now YOU listen to ME, boy. You'll get Pegasus' name in the obituaries, but if you keep threatening me and bossing me around I'll be getting a paycheck from him after all. Now... Have I made myself clear to you, Kaiba?" The fear in his eyes was enough of an answer for me, and the blood running around my blade only making it better. I stepped away enough to see my black and silver eyes reflected in my bloody sword, but the blood didn't stay there long. I licked it away and sheathed the blade, still close enough to Kaiba to smell the alcohol on his breath. "You know Kaiba, there was a time when I considered you a friend. It wasn't that long ago, either, only about three years... It seems like an eternity ago, looking back on it now."
Yeah, that night seems so far away now. Almost like it didn't happen. If only you knew what it still meant to me, what HE still means to me. I thought while walking out of his office, my eyes changing slowly back to their normal icy blue. I calmed down as I walked, my mind lost in another time...
FLASHBACK; THREE YEARS EARLIER
"Hey Kaido, I'll race you through the door!" Seto said, flashing me a smile and taking a running stance. I copied his stance and took off, quickly out-distancing Seto and beating him through the door. Bent over laughing, I didn't know he snuck up behind me until he tackled me and I hit the ground. "Damn it, beaten in a race by a girl. And here I thought I'd win."
"Well you didn't, know will you let me up? We've got homework to do, you know." He didn't let me up, but that didn't surprise me. Kaiba got up enough to flip me on my back, his lips meeting mine before I could protest. Lost in his kiss, I snapped back to reality when some one giggled from the door. Throwing Seto off and grabbing my sword, I stopped myself from decapitating Mokuba and pissing Seto off. "How long have you been standing there, Mokuba?"
"Long enough to see you two shoving your tounges down each others throats, and Seto's hand trying to go down your- Oh crap!" Mokuba started running, closely persued by Seto with an agry glare on his face. Faintly, from a room upstairs I heard:
"I SWEAR, IF YOU SAY ONE WORD, YOUR LITTLE ASS'LL BE BLACK AND BLUE FOR A MONTH!"
A FEW MONTHS LATER
"Seto, don't you have a company to run?" I asked, holding Seto's wrists to keep his hands off me.
"Yeah, so what? Those boneheads can do their jobs for a couple hours by themselves, they don't need me breathing down their necks." He pulled his hands free and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into a deep kiss and running his hands up my sides. The bottom of my shirt went with them, making me giggle quietly because his hands were cold. "What's so funny, koishii?"
"You're hands feel like ice, amoureux."
"Hey Seto, the copier bro- EWWW!" The door opened quickly, revealing Mokuba with a grossed out look on his face. I pulled my shirt down and stepped away from Seto, feeling my face burn at being caught by Mokuba for the second time that day. "So like I was saying, the copier broke again and someone was copying something with expletives and crudely drawn body parts on it." Mokuba held up a sheet of paper he held in his hands, revealing a crudely drawn comic and alot of expletives in various languages. I recognized the French and English ones, but the rest were a mystery to me.
"Alright Mokuba, I'm comming. Go make sure no one else gets ahold of that, okay?" Mokuba nodded and left, Seto grabbing ahold of me as soon as his brother was gone. "This office after Mokuba goes to bed, Kaido. I've got a bottle of tequilla and shot glass in my desk drawer that's just begging for a game of poker, and that sounds like a good time to me. No interruptions... no Mokuba. Just you, me and that bottle, understood?" I nodded and pulled away from him, remembering my job and escaping to do it before I forgot... AGAIN!
THAT NIGHT(romance novel scene, narrative)
"Too bad, Seto, I got a Royal Flush. So lose the briefs, and I WIN!" Kaido layed her hand on the floor, revealing the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 of Hearts. Seto grumbled in Japanese and took his briefs off, annoyed that she was still dressed for the most part. "Oh come on, be nice about it. After all, Seto, this was your idea."
"I know, but this isn't what I had in mind when I said that. So why don't you quit leaving stuff to the imagination, koi?" Kaido thought about it for a minute, then smirked and dove at Seto.
"I dunno, Seto, but why don't you strip me?" Seto's eyes lit up as he forced Kaido onto her back, stripping the bandit quickly and looking her over. She smirked at him as her hands wandered down to his manhood, gripping tightly as her left hand pulled her face toward hers you. "You're a sore loser, Seto Kaiba. And just so you know, I don't take well to making love on a 15 year-old CEO's office floor."
"Is a chair any better, koishii?" Kaido shrugged as best she could from the floor, being swept up by Seto and sat in his chair. He kissed her deeply and slid inside her, setting a quick pace and muffling her moans with kisses. They fell asleep in that chair a while later, still nude and clinging to each other lightly.
END FLASHBACK
"Kaido, are you okay?" I heard Marik say from the doorway of the Kaiba mansion, turning my eyes back and looking him over. He really thought that I didn't know what he was doing with Mystic, and that he could pass it off as nothing. He started walking toward me, getting close enough for me to knock down. I held my sword over his heart, ready to kill him if he even tried to move. "Kaido, don't do this! C'mon koishii, I didn't do anything wrong! Kaiba's in there, getting drunk and yelling at Lilliana."
"You really think I didn't hear you two, don't you? Well I got news for you, bucko, I heard it all! And just so you know, 'koishii' means 'beloved' in Japanese. You really shouldn't use words you don't know how to translate, because they could mean something you don't want them to." I started to thrust my sword at him, stopped by the power of Mystic's Millennium Armlet. Casting my eyes toward the door again, I saw her standing there horrified at the scene. "Hm, I can kill you too while I'm in a murderous mood. Then I get my check from Pegasus, and I can kill his stupid ass while I'm at it! I'm a genious when I don't think about anything!"
"Kaido, think about what you're doing! You don't want to kill Marik, you're just mad at Seto and aren't thinking straight."
"Oh I'm thinking straight, Mystic, that's why I want to kill the two of you."
"But- Kaido?"
"He cheats on me with my best, and practically only, friend, and you think I'm going to let you both live? HA! You and Seto are definately related, you know that? I wouldn't of needed that blood test to tell that, you two act so much alike." I shethed my blade and got up, walking away from the two and going home. It was already 6: 00, so I just took a quick shower and changed clothes before grabbing my keys and back pack. I was only staying in Domino until school was out, then I had a plane to catch to Louisiana. I headed outside and started my Harley, driving to Domino High and preparing to face my last day of Japanese school for a while.
STUDY HALL; 2:40 PM
"Hey Kai- Satoshin, can I talk to you for a minute?" I didn't even look up at Mystic as she approached, but the Millennium Blade glowed from under my jeans. The light showed slightly around my ankle, letting Mystic know that I was armed and wouldn't hesitate to attack. I continued reading my book, the French words easy on my eyes. "Kaido, you aren't really leaving just because I slept with Marik, are you?"
"Oui."
"That's no reason to leave, and don't you have a contract with my brother?"
"Non, I don't sign anything from any of my employers. Even if I did, he can't stop me from leaving Domino before I finish my job. Kaiba isn't God, kid, he doesn't control me." The bell rang after I finished my sentance, so I shoved my book into my back pack and got up. Smirking evilly at Mystic, I thought of something ominous to say. "You'd better watch your back, Mystic. If I do decide to come back, I probably won't be in a very good mood with any of the Kaiba's. And you know what Kaido Seiyousa does when she's mad... unless you're really that dumb."
NARRATIVE
Yugi looked in shock at the two, ignoring Joey's question in favor of talking to Yami.
Yami, did you hear that! No Yugi, what was I supposed to of heard? Satoshin just called herself 'Kaido Seiyousa'... and that's the Hiryuu Bandit's real name! Yami, you don't think... Millennium Items can't just be handed over and suddenly work for other people, they must be won. You just stay away from her for a while, Yugi, I'm going to talk to an old friend.
They shut their links down and Yami left his hikari's mind, going to the Shadow Realm to look for Bakura and Raikuru.
SHADOW REALM, RAIKURU P.O.V.
"What do you want this time, Pharoah Jackass?" I asked, my voice dripping venom. Pharoah Atem glared at me, leaning against a tomb stone and looking at me and Bakura.
"Your hikari, her name isn't really Satoshin Eirukou... is it, Raikuru?" I blinked in confusion, wondering how the hell Kaido blew her own cover.
"So little Kaido's lying to finish her job, what's it to you? Last I checked, you and Pegasus weren't on friendly terms. So if Kaido actually kills him, that's good for all of us. The little hikari gets her check from Kaiba, Lilliana takes control of Industrial Illusions, and then Kaido can kill Seto Kaiba and we've got it made! Two friends, both running major companies, and a lover who presents a good place to hide. Does the story sound familiar, Atem?" I scanned his face for some form of recognition, but didn't find one and smirked. "It's OUR story, Pharoah. Just 5000 years in our future. We had something once Atem, but you ruined any chance of you ever keeping me when Bakura showed me what real love was."
"Raikuru, you know what you had with THAT -" He pointed to Bakura, who glared angrily. "Wasn't love, it was just sex. What we had WAS love, you just didn't see it."
"At least he stuck around after wards, you never did!"
"I thought you'd want to rest."
"Bakura told me he loved me, that's more than you ever did unless you were drunk."
"I thought you knew. Raikuru, I loved you more than anything in the world. I still do, you just wouldn't listen long enough to hear me say it." I rolled my eyes and walked away from the two men, ready to find Kaido and go where ever she was trying to take me this time.
ON THE PLANE; KAIDO P.O.V.
I sat with my feet stretched out, reading my book again while the guy next to me babbled on and on with the guy next to him. Ironically enough, they were talking about me. Glad to be out of Domino, I fell asleep reading and woke up in Louisiana to the same chatter box poking me and saying we were there. Fighting the urge to kill him, I looked around for a familiar face and found the fisrt friend I ever had.
"Marie, is that you?" I asked, laughing when she turned to face me and pulled me into a tight hug. For someone who hadn't seen me in three years, she sure did remember me well enough. "Marie... I can't breathe."
"S'rry Kaido, it's jes' been so long! Come on, you gotta see Kojiro! He hasn't shut up since we got you phone call, you know." Marie said, her words all running into each other as she dragged me along. I just went along with it, knowing I'd get a pot of gumbo shoved in front of me when we got back to her house. My stomach fell as I pieced together what she said to me, though.
Kojiro... NO! I can't face him, not after I abandonned him here like that.
