Chapter Two
The Curious Girl In The Night-Time
Me: I changed it from eight spells to ten. Just so ya know. I've yet to get my lazy fingers to click on the "export" button to fix that in chapter one.
Altáriël: Who's going to do the disclaimer today, Hikari?
Me: Hmm… I dunno…
Ceribi: I have an idea! Why don't we pull good ol' Pegasus to do the job?
Me: Why?
Ceribi: Because he ROCKED in the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie!
Me-puts on Pegasus's voice- "Come now, old man, no one can come back after a defeat that thoroughly… no one except for Kaiba, that is. Oh I'm sorry, did I say that aloud?"
Joey and Tristan, who pop out of nowhere and disappear after saying their line: What? You nerd.
Me-bows- Take it away Pegasus!
Pegasus-in a Funny Bunny outfit- Hikari and her alter-egos do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters or quotes. They also do not own Arina Arono. Arina is owned by Random Person number three. Hikari also doesn't own Harry Potter or any of its characters, quotes, et cetera. Oh, and 'anywhoosle' is not hers either, she stole it, but gives credit to the author, once she remembers who it is. She thinks it's the author of "Colliding Footsteps," but she doesn't remember. The title of this chapter is inspired by Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. She also doesn't own anything else that isn't hers! She does, however, own Ceribi Motou, Hikari Daeron and everything else that is hers! Like her CDs!
Me-U… Thank you, Pegasus. Now go make places for the fishies to enjoy… or whatever else you do…
Pegasus-waves- Don't miss me too much!
Myarra-mutters- We won't.
Me: Oh yeah… I forgot to say that my dear character Hikari (that's me) in the story likes to swear sometimes… so… yeah…
Seto couldn't help but sigh. He was walking down the sidewalk at this time of night, while everyone else was at the hotel.
As he walked, he noticed a silhouetted figure of a girl standing some way off. For one reason or another he was intrigued. He tried following, but then saw that she had disappeared. (Veena: Following? STALKER!)
Next morning:
As Yugi-tachi walked together down the street (Seto had joined them, and this was before they were going to split up), they heard three voices.
"So wait, it's t-huuuuuuuuu, right?"
"T-huuuuuuuuuu, yeah."
"That is just so cool."
"Isn't it though?"
"Yeah, and Jack has the hand thing."
"Like Tim!"
"Yeah, only we're not sure if Tim does it."
"Tim Kasher…"
"Tim's cool, Veena."
"No he isn't!"
"Whatever."
"Anywhoosle…"
Ceribi suddenly snapped her fingers. "I know that voice." She looked for the source, but was unable to find it. Frustrated, she said, "Why is it that I can never find what I'm trying to? Bit like her, actually…"
Joey looked curious. "Who is it?"
"It's an old friend of mine – my adoptive sister, Hikari Daeron."
They listened, and heard more.
"Are you sure Blilie's not gay?"
"YES! He just has homosexual tendencies like being silly, making out with Johnny Sally Whitney onstage, and... wearing pink at random occasions!"
"And his chicken dance!" The other two voices said this together, and they all laughed.
Ceribi snapped her fingers again. "The others are her friends Veena and Julia."
That's when they came into view.
Seto's heart caught into his throat. He recognized one of the girls… he had gotten a glimpse of her last night…
"Calm down, Hikari. Gosh!" said the one with black hair to the dark haired girl who was currently jumping up and down.
"But I wanna duel! And stop yelling, the trees have ears."
She froze in mid-jump and looked at the other brunette. "Uh-oh…"
The last girl, Veena, looked at Hikari. "What do the trees have, Hikari?"
"Uh…"
"What do they have, Hikari?"
"Meep…" Hikari looked around and spotted Ceribi. "Oh my God it's CERE!" She waved frantically and ran up to her. "CERIBI!"
"Heh-hey, Hikari!" They hugged and Ceribi hugged the other two as well. "It's awesome to see you guys again."
Hikari and Veena had suddenly spotted Mokuba. "Mo-KU-ba!" they both said. Hikari grabbed Mokuba and pulled him into a hug.
"Hi guys!" he said, his voice slightly muffled. "Look, Hikari, I love you too, but I can't breathe!"
She let go of him, grinning. "Sorry Mo-KU-ba."
"McKuba," said Julia, keep a straight face. Mokuba nodded solemnly.
"Where are our manners?" said Veena sarcastically. She pointed to all three of them. "Hikari. Julia. Veena. How are you?"
The others, who had been staring, broke out of their stupor and introduced themselves. Boldly, Hikari shook hands with all of them. When it was the last person, their hands seemed to linger slightly longer until they pulled away. (hehehe...)
"How do know my brother?"Seto asked, to make up for the silence.
Hikari thought for a moment. She looked at Mokuba. "How did I meet you?"
Mokuba bit his tongue, and then remembered. "You three were here on holiday, because you dragged them here. And you got lost and I helped because I was in the neighborhood."
Veena and Julia suddenly remembered. "Oh yeah… Hikari got us lost…" said Julia.
"Did not!"
"Yeah you did."
"Suck it up, Hikari, you did," said Veena.
Hikari looked at her in mock appall. "Uh! You bitch," she said. Veena looked back at her with the same expression.
"You whore."
"You slut."
They traded insults back and forth for a while before breaking out of it, laughing, and hugging each other, saying, "You know I love you," and "I love you too." The others, except for Mokuba and Ceribi, blinked.
"They do this all the time," said the said two people.
