Well its back to the story now. I hope you like it so far. It seems so long to me and I'm only half way through, oh well.
I don't own Yu Gi Oh though I'm sure through some corporate take over I could (kidding!)
Thanks for the reviews! You guys (or girls) are great!
Cirquet soon found herself sitting on the same bench where she had met up with Ryou. She sat there, her head resting on her knees, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She couldn't help the way she was she knew that, she came to terms with that a long time ago, but the way Mokuba looked at her. 'Now I know why Lan and Dosu were so against me coming here. I can't even control myself. I just pretend…stop this I just need to stop pretending!' Tears came rolling down her face while she buried her head deeper into her knees. 'I just wish that I wasn't here, I just wish I would have stayed home. I shouldn't have listened to Malachi; I'm far too different to be understood by anyone.'
Cirquet shivered slightly, it had gotten rather cold all of the sudden but she stayed where she was. Strange images began to flash in Cirquet's mind. A beautiful woman of some time before Cirquet's own, was shouting something, anger covered her face. Cirquet's mind raced closer to the woman. Suddenly Cirquet shoot up, frightened by someone touching her. She looked around and saw her brother Dosu.
"Dosu!" she yelled wiping the tears from her eyes. "You're here, but why?"
"What can an older brother not come to see his baby sister," he said grabbing and lifting Cirquet up in a tight hug.
"Of course, I'm just so surprised and happy," she cried.
"Hey now what's wrong?" he asked grabbing her shoulders.
"Nothing, nothing at all. I'm just really happy is all."
"You're such a bad liar Cirquet."
"I…I…it's really nothing, really…"
"Let me guess, it happened. Someone saw your 'dark side'," he sighed.
"…yeah…I was dueling against Ashley and Brun…"
"What!" his eyes were filled with fear.
"Ashley and Brunks, I was dueling against them."
"That's impossible Cirquet. You must be mistaken."
"Mistaken, why? I'm sure it was them unless I'm losing my mind," she half joked.
"Oh no, I don't think it's that. This is not what we need right now."
"What, what don't we need?" Cirquet was getting upset again.
"It's just that…that,"
Cirquet starred up at him almost begging for the answer.
"Huh…you know…how do I say this. Richie saw Lambrela, alive. I mean I didn't believe him but…you…"
"Lambrela alive…wait so why is, Ashley…Brunks…their…dead? They died? But…but…that's impossible. Dosu I just fought them, just now Dosu do you understand that, I just saw them flesh and blood. They were up to their usual antics, hell I scared Brunks out of the duel. Tell me this is a joke; please tell me this is a joke."
Dosu looked away from his sister. "They were murdered two weeks ago by someone in a silver robe or jacket or whatever. Nami saw it happen right in front of her, the poor girl is in the hospital now because of it. But it's not that that I'm worried about it's you. I think they are after you. Lan called me and told me about Mau. If Ashley and Brunks came after you then it's possible that they're after your life as well."
Cirquet didn't know what to say; for once she was speechless and a bit scared.
"Dosu…"
"Look you're coming home with me today. I'm sorry, I really am. I know you were looking forward to being around new people, but…I just can't have you risking your life for a game," he sighed.
Cirquet looked down to the ground, tears threatening to fall again. She hated this; she finally got out from that never ending hole, only to be thrown back in again. To be hidden from the world, away from everyone and everything she ever wanted. Thrown yet again into her little circle.
"No, no, no, no, Dosu I won't do it. Not again, I won't be suffocated by them. Please Dosu, I just don't want to go back!" she pounded on his shoulders.
"…I never wanted you to go here anyways…"
"What…Dosu…Why…Why can't you just let me live my life!" she yelled breaking away from her brother, running away as fast as she could. She heard her brother's yells and his footsteps come after her, but she was a lot faster than him and soon heard nothing but her own heavy breathing. She stopped suddenly, tears filled her eyes her chest raising and lowering in rapid intervals.
"You okay? Cirquet?" came a familiar voice.
"uh…" she looked up, right into the ever so sympathetic eyes of Ryou, "Ryou! Uh…what are you doing here?"
"I live here, remember," he joked. Cirquet's eyes watered up filling to the brim with tears. Ryou grabbed her, pulling her to the side, trying to figure out was wrong.
"Cirquet, are you all right?"
She didn't answer, but chocked back the tears. She just couldn't understand why this was happening to her. She searched everywhere in her mind for a possible answer. That's when the answer struck her…
Sorry about the short change. I wanted to leave you witha bit of a cliff hanger, I think I handled it quite well. Well please review, I can handle almost any kind of critism.
