Chapter 34

Jenny's Debut Concert Part 1

Jenny looked at herself in the mirror he voice warmed up and her outfit perfect. Jenny had her long multicolored hair pulled back with a hair tie since it would be covering her face while she sang. She wore a navy blue dress that was lopsidedly cut so that the right side was longer then the left; with white trim around it at the bottom, it had a wave kind of shape when Jenny moved. (I admit the outfit looks like Yuna's from Final Fantasy X-2, but she would look good in it)

Her top was however very reviling, it was navy blue with white around the edges, but her front part had a huge cut down the middle with strings laced through and holding it together. Jenny look at herself in the mirror, this was perfect for the opening number but would have to do a quick change into her other costume, which was black leather boots, leather skirt and a blue tee shirt. Jenny laced up her navy blue boots that went to her knees, it was about hour left until the lights would go down and she would start her career as a singer.

A knock came at the door as she was about to sit down and do her make up, "Come in," she said calmly. "Special delivery for a Miss Jennifer Kist Kaiba," spoke Matt from behind a large banquet of white and blue roses. Jenny jumped up "MATT!" she said in surprise hugging her cousin the taking the roses. "Surprise," he said. As Jenny moved over to put the roses down, "Come in shut the door," she said.

Matt shut the door and looked at Jenny's dressing room, a large mirror covered on of the walls with light all around it the room was mostly plane with the exception of a dressing curtain and two couched with a coffee table in the middle of it. "So surprise to see me?" he asked. Jenny smiled, "Yes, I thought you were too busy with work to come here to see me? You know busy running the shop and all now full time," she asked. Matt smiled, "And miss my little cousin make her debut to the music scene, I don't think so, no way in the world would I stand by and watch my little cousin not perform in the most packed concert in Domino's history," he said.

Jenny sat down across from Matt on the couches, "So, any girlfriends I should know about, or reincarnated Queens?" she teased. "If you mean my girl Ann, yes, were still together Jen," he said, "And no I only have one this time, so don't push your luck. Hey wait a minute you got you memory back didn't you?" he asked realizing what Jenny said.

Jenny smirked and nodded, "Yep, Orion came to me last night and gave it back to me, said it would stop Malachite from controlling Mom and Andy, which turned out to be Saran and Amenhotep's evil twin or something like that," she explained. Matt nodded, "Yeah, Melissa told me about that the second I got here, nice work by the way, all one big happy family again," he said.

A knock came at he door, "Jenny, you got one hour until show time be ready in about 45 minutes," said Kate. Jenny nodded, "Thanks Kat, I will," she said. Matt smiled, "Oh and before I forget, the flowers are from me, but this is from a friend," he said holding out a card. Jenny took the card Matt handed her, "From whom?" she asked. "You'll know when you read it, or better yet, read it after your first set," he said moving over to the door.

Jenny nodded, "I will, thanks Matt," she said, "For everything." Matt hugged his cousin, "Anything for you Jenny Bunny, you know that, now knock them all dead," he said and left the room. Jenny looked at the card on the coffee table she wanted to open it but figured to wait as Matt said too. Jenny finished her make up, which, was not much, and sat down on the couch, she thought about everything that happened in her life from the minute she got back from Egypt.

Jenny laughed at herself, "gosh, Andy was right, once you go to Ancient Egypt your never really the same again," she said aloud. "Darn right, and you should remember that," said voice similar to her own.

Jenny sat up, "When did you get here?" she asked. An older version of Jenny stood in the corner of the room, "About 10 minutes after you did, actually," she laughed.

Jenny shook her head, "Great my memories or older form is now cracking jokes at me," she said. The older version of Jenny, which looked to be about a year or two, leaned over the couch at her counter part, "You ignored me of 4 years, it was very rude and annoying, you know" she said. Jenny smirked, "Wasn't my fault was it? I only asked to forget Orion not everything in between," she sapped at herself.

The older version sat down on the other couch, "No, I guess Nefertiti screwed you again," she said. Jenny shook her head, "No, because if I had my memories then I would have committed suicide before now," she said, "Actually Nefertiti helped the pain go away for a while, I don't feel as bad as I did when I was in Egypt."

The older version nodded, "Your right, your heart isn't as empty as you made it at first," she said. Jenny nodded, "Yeah it's not that bad, you know, kind of like having a second chance at something," she said.

The older version smiled, "Well you have exactly 30 minutes until your concert, looks like your second chance is here," she said and faded away. Jenny sat back on the couch, and humming the first song, she was going to sing, it was a slow one, but it would get the crowd into it.

25 minutes later

"JEN!" said Melissa sticking her head in the door, five minutes." Jenny stood up after going over the chorus of her songs that she would be singing, "I am ready Melissa, let's rock," she said, standing up, and walking out the door, to the stage.

Jenny could hear the crowd cheering and yelling from backstage as she walked in her boots to the stage. Marik and the band looked at Jenny, "You're ready?" he asked his niece. Jenny closed her eyes, "Just do your part and I will do mine," she said.

(Note: I had some links here for the songs from video games to show you what kind of music was happening at the concert if you want them email me for them or I just may put them in my profile but because of policies on copyright. I can't put them here so if you want them just ask me via email.)

The lights went down and the dome went silent as the music began to play, Jenny took a large breath, as she stepped out on stage. The crowd in the arena went wild as Jenny was seen; her introduction was already given so they knew who she was, as she stepped out. The music suddenly stopped, and everything was quiet, music began to play.

The dome was silent suddenly Jenny could see everyone in the dome, her heart raced, with nervousness, this was it she was either going to make it or faint right there. Jenny took a few short breathes, she closed her eyes, her heartbeat was slowing down it was ringing in her ears. All she could hear was her heart except it sounded as if there two inside her, then it clicked, 'He's here with me, I knew he would be,' she thought hearing the beat.

Opening her eyes again, Jenny looked at everyone as the music, light show began, and she started to sing, "Ok Domino, this is for you," she said smiling then pausing. After the pause in the song three seconds, Jenny starts to sing.

The First song was mostly about-facing your past and moving up, enjoying the time, you have the song was dedicated to Orion.

At the end of the first song, Jenny disappeared and then reappeared after the lights focused on her at the center of the stage as a platform shot her up in to the air. Jenny hit a high note of the bat, she was signing the song at a normal pace, but the beat was fast.

This one was a dance number but Jenny had changed her outfit to her black leather skirt and boot with her new navy top that was more like a tank top. Jenny was sounding like Pink with a little pop singer in it (had a name decided not to put one) however; she had her own twist to it.

The song was about starting over from scratch and taking up your stance for the one you love. It was mostly a love/dance song, but everyone could see Jenny was having fun with it, Seto and Alec looked at there daughter as she worked the crowd and they were eating her up.

The solo guitar starts and Jenny ran off stage for a second then returned doing back flips, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Dancers come out on stage and started to dance with Jenny, she was doing great and everyone could see that.

Laser lights flashed and when the music began to slow down started to sing. The crowd was eating it all up, she was just the opening act this gave them all something to look forward to, as the band played. Finally, the ending was coming and Jenny was doing a quick rap at the end but then she broke in to a high note just as the tropical music began to play.

This song wasn't about much other then having a good time, and being yourself, Jenny was having fun running and jumping around on stage. Melissa was backstage, dancing about that was until, a man tall and strong stood in the shadows of the stage, and he smiled as he looked at Jenny and looked at Melissa giving her a nod.

The song finished and Melissa cued the band to play Jenny's last number.

The moment Jenny heard the music her face changed from one of excited, to one of concern, she knew it was the last song until the end of the show, when she would sing with Marcus Orion's replacement but she still had no clue who it was. Yet her heart told her not to worry about it and have a good time.

Jenny picked up the microphone to her mouth and began to sing slowly, her voice was as if something was slowly dying, as the words left her mouth. The music was soft and sad, as was her voice. Jenny tried as best she could to hold back the tears as the intro played and the sound of the keyboard began as she sang.

Everyone in Jenny's family and friends knew that the song was the one she wrote back when she was being presented to Orion as his betrothed, before Nefertiti showed up and took that right away from her. As the song filled the arena, the crowd was silent and the sad memories of ones that had lost or loved came to mind.

(Ok people if you didn't read the other stories your not going to understand what's happening here lol)

Alec closed her eyes, and thought about her step cousin, Noah, who died saving her life as a child. Mokuba gripped Yamu's hand as they remembered the loss of their first baby.

Seto pulled Alec close to him, as he remembered his parents and losing them, at a young age. Sara was with Melissa back stage and the two where hugging as they both thought about Odeon and his passing away years ago.

Andy sighed, he remembered a girl he once knew and missed her dearly. As he did so, a hand touched his shoulder, "Andrew?" said a woman. Andy turned, "Melody," he said looking at her. (What do you expect, I ran out of names)

"I knew I find you here, you crazy ass," she smirked. Andy held Melody close, they used to be friends and sweet hearts in high school but she had left for college and he had not seen her in years, but it was love at first sight was still there.

Kate held Troy next to her, "You know," Troy, said to her, "I never asked you something after the last four years," he said. Kate looked at him, "What?" she spoke moving Troy's blonde bangs from his face. "Will you Kathleen Kaiba, marry me again?" he asked Kate, as he handed her a small box. Kate opened it, "Yes Troy Wheeler, I will, but we been married for over four years," she spoke as he put the ring on her finger. "Yeah but that was a secret wedding remember you didn't want your dad to know, and I don't see a better time to ask," Troy said, the two kissed.

Joey, Mai, Yugi, Tea, where standing together, and they looked at Jenny proudly as she sang, all with some sort of sad memory in there eyes. Yugi thought about his grandfather, and Tea thought about Atem and when he left, but then thought of how much Yugi had been like him now. Joey and Mai thought about, all of their fights and how lucky they were to be together, now, Joey saw Troy and Kate from where he was a small smirk on his face, 'I win Kaiba,' he thought, 'well actually my son won ha, ha.'

Serenity was sitting with Tristan, as they both held each other close; thinking about their wedding so many years ago. Duke stood behind them with his arms around Miho, (from the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh that will not air in the US better know as Ribbon in the Manga) as they thought about each other.

Matt and his sister Jade were both smiling at Jenny; as they watched the girl that they looked after sing her heart out, both very proud of her.

Jenny looked at everyone across the arena, she wished Orion was there in the crowd, but in a way, she let it go. Jenny saw Jake and his now teenage kids were in the crowd, Jenny could see Kioko and Seth; they both looked so grown up since she last saw them four years ago, a small smile showed up on her face seeing them again.

As Jenny let the song slowly end, she felt as if part of her was saying good-bye to her past memories, and moving on which was exactly what she wanted to do when she lost her memories was to move on. Jenny closed her eyes as she began to sing the final note of the song, when she reached it; she held it for a while as visions came through her mind.

Jenna, Jena, Orion, Amenhotep, Odeon, Nefertiti, and everyone else she had to say good-bye to in her life, old friends from school and so on. Marik thought about his sister, for he missed her as she was still in Egypt tending the Museum she owned there.

The song ended, the lights went out and the entire arena was quiet. Everyone was shocked and in awe for Jenny's performance, even thought it was an hour set, she did a great job for a newbie.

As the lights came back up, Jenny was bowing, her hands on her knees and the microphone, in her hands on her knees. The crowd erupted in to cheers as she stood up, and waved, and then taking the microphone, she thanked everyone for coming, introduced the Comets for being her backup band, and said, "Now on with the show, ladies and gentlemen I give you, the Comets." (Note: I couldn't think of a good name for the band and it has changed throughout the story sorry if it confused anyone)

The crowd cheered as Melissa stepped on stage, and took the microphone from Jenny. "Hey Domino, lets give Jennifer Kaiba, another hand," she said pulling her cousin back on stage after she tried to get away quickly.

The crowd of 10,000 people cheered, for Jenny as she bowed to thank them again. "Ok, Jen, get out of here, don't worry folks we see you later in the concert when you sing with the Comets and our lead later," she said. Jenny smiled and walked off the stage in to her dressing room, not noticing the tall blonde haired man that was standing in the shadows watching her with his dark eyes that were like the ocean.

He smiled as Jenny's dressing room door closed, "Thanks you Jena," he whispered. "NOW!" said Melissa's voice over the speakers, "Why don't we give it up for out big stars tonight, The Comets." The man turned and headed on to the stage and the music began to play.

Jenny was in the dressing room and held the pendant in her hand, "It was for you Orion, I will miss you," she said to herself. Jena smiled in Jenny's mind, "You will find him, Jenny, I know you will," she spoke. Jenny nodded, "or he will fine me," she said and sat down on the one of the couches as she listened to the music coming from the stage outside her door.

Jenny then remembered the note, and picked it up off the table and opened it.

Congratulations Jenny

I know you would make it this far, you got your dream without giving up your heart I am proud of you. We all are meaning my family and yours, I was hoping to be alive to see your performance however, destiny said otherwise funny how it works out. I was going to be going to the future with you if I didn't have to die; I would have liked to see what kind of life you were giving up. Sadly, it happened I died, I knew when I took you to the Oasis, that I wouldn't be coming back that's why I wrote this and gave it to your cousin to give to you at the proper time which is the night you follow your dream and fine your place in your family.

I know your performance must have been amazing.

I just wanted to let you know that I will always be with you like it or not, you and I may be separated by 5000 years, but I still and always will love you, and will watch after you.

Jenny, your place in your family is the heart, like your mother was to your father that bonds your father to her, you are what bind all of them together. Don't, you think differently either my Queen.

As Jenny was reading the note her eyes were filling with tears, she realized it was from Orion just before he died. "Oh Ra Orion," she said leaning back on the couch with the long note in hand wiping away the tears.

I am going to miss you, and I know you would miss me too, your stronger then you appear, never lose that, never walk away from that don't forget who you are and what you have become. Your just plain old Jennifer Kaiba, even with a little future ability your still you with or without it.

A young woman you're probably going to be when you get this, and I bet your crying by now. I wish I could be there to wipe the tears away, to see your young delicate face and look in to your blue and purple eyes one last time. I hope you open your eyes at the Oasis because I would rather see them open one last time then die without you in my arms and smiling.

I never told you this, Jenny, but ever since I met you your eyes were always a trap for me, every single time I looked at you, it made me think how lucky I really was. The gods to bend time so that we could be together, and hand me a goddess like you. However, you couldn't make the title make it to god however, a queen is just as good, but that's titles, you don't need one.

I love you always, and if I am in your time reincarnated or not, you will know when I am around if, you hear two heartbeats, in your ears. You and I Jenny like your parents have hidden hearts and now they are combined to form a harmony that will never change.

When I am around no matter what form I may be in, if you heart that second beat I am near by and I always will be all you need to do is listen for it and I will be near you again.

Love your other half of your heart, Orion

As Jenny read the letter, she saw that it was written in old black ink however, the last line was in blue ink and was new.

P.S. I will see you soon weather I am there physically or not I am with you Jenny.

Jenny had been crying the rest of the letter wiping the tears from her eyes, she heard him, she knew he was there at the concert somewhere he did see her sing, and he did hear her voice. Jenny remembered when she was on stage and heard a second heart beat in her ears at the start of the show.

"You are here, now just to find you however after the concert," she said with a smile moving a tear from her eyes and laying on the couch.

Jenny closed her eyes; she could hear Marcus Orion's replacement as he sang on stage. To her surprise, it sounded like some one she knew or better yet like the voice Malachite was using to fool everyone, but Jenny just relaxed and fell asleep on the couch knowing in one hour she would have to get ready for the final number.

(And with that you must wait for the final chapter MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA just kidding I was going to just let his hang here like it is, however I can't help but put the ending up.
