I stood out in the cold, pounding on the door of my friend Kaido Seiyousa. Kaido finally opened the door and I told her to get Marik and get in the limo, Seto was pissed of yet again and wanted to see them. Kaido soon came down dragging Marik out in his Winged Dragon of Ra boxers... I tilted my hear to the side, "winged Dragon of Ra boxers? How cute is that?" but I was thinking, Oh my GOD, could he be any sexier! Kaido and Marik were soon shoved into the limo by me.. and after some minor problems, we made it to the mansion. (A/N: the "problems" mentioned are detailed in Khitoutsu's version) Seto barked at Kaido about a news report we'd been mentioned in and then proceded to get Marik a pair of pants. I looked at Kaido for a minute before finally asking the question that had been haunting me. "Kaido... we're friends now right?" "yeah Myst, we are." "Well, Then I'm going to help you." "Whaddya mean?" "I mean, I'm going to help you take out Pegasus!" Kaido smirked at me and nodded. "Alright then, I guess I'll have to teach you a few things." At this point Seto finally came back just in time to walk in on the conversation, though I'd rather have kept him out of it. "She's already good with a sword. She could probably use a few pointers on sneaking around though... she's not exactly the most descreet person in the world." "Shut up Seto! I'll be fine." Kaido ignored Seto and turned to me. "Alright Mystic, we'll start your training." I just nodded and paid close attention to her pointers, learning quickly as I snuck up and scared Mokuba, who then ran to his room. Seto then decided to get drunk, which he'd started doing alot lately. Kaido joined him and a couple hours later they passed out.
(next morning)
My day had started out bad, and was steadily getting worse. I had woken up early, but had a problem wakeing my brother. After finally getting him up, I turned to Kaido and Marik, who were both asleep on the couch. Marik, having remained sober, woke quite easily, but Kaido was a bit harder. "Kaido, get up, we have school." Kaido moaned and lashed out at me in her sleep. I shook her and yelled in her ear. "KAIDO WAKE UP, YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL." Seto walked back in after dressing for school, and glared at me. "Do you have to yell like that? My head hurts bad enough with out you're help." I sighed and walked upstairs to get my bag. Kaido finally sat up slowly and rubbed her head, then went to get dressed and to raid the liquor cabinet, filling her water bottle with half whiskey, half water. Everyone was finally ready, and piled into the limo. Seto and Kaido both laid their heads back and tried to forget the fact that they were hung over, Marik stared out of the window and I kept sneaking glances at Marik. I knew he had been with Kaido but still couldn't stop myself from secretly wanting him, he was the whole reason I'd gone from innocent, quiet school girl to dark, outspoken assassin-in-training.
School was boring as usual, and I was glad it was lunch time. Until Ryou came in with that damned article. It took him a few minutes to rewrite it, the others being unable to read Kanji. He finally laid the paper out for the others to read.
'It has been reported that the infamous CEO of Kaiba Corp, Seto Kaiba Himself has hired the well known assassins, Kaido Seiyousa, and Marik Ishtar, to take down his long time rival Maximillion Pegasus. It has also been reported that Kaiba's younger sister, Mystic Kaiba has joined the infamous couple in there quest to take Pegasus out. Local authorities are searching the city for the murderous trio, and have sworn to bring them to justice as quickly as possible. We will continue this report as more details are known. Untill then, all citizens should stay inside and keep their doors locked at all times.'
Somehow those asshole reporters had seen or heard about me hanging around Kaido and Marik and assumed that I'd already joined them, and the news was spreading like wildfire among the students. To make matters worse, I'd been watching Seto glare daggers at his lap-top, and was hoping he wasn't mad a me again. I took a deep breath, asked Kaido to keep Wheeler away from my lunch, and walked over to Seto. "hey bro, what's wrong with you?" Seto's eyes never left the screen. "It's Pegasus, he's hosting another tournament. It's invitation only, and I just recieved one. Anyone who get's one has to participate." I quickly scanned the screen and sat down next to him. "Mind if I check my mail?" Seto slid the lap-top to me and watched as I brought my mail box up. Just as we'd both susspected, I'd recieved an invitation from Industrial Illusions. I shook my head and stood up, patted Seto on the back and went back to my friends to tell them about the tournament. The rest of lunch was spent in silence.
(after school)
The ride home was quiet, as it usually was. Seto and I hardly spoke to each other, and when we did, it was usually because Seto was mad about something. I glanced over at him, only to find he'd been staring at me, making me nervous. "Why are you looking at me like that Seto?" "I don't want you in that tournament Mystic." "Why not? I can duel circles around most people and even our last duel was a draw." He sighed and closed his eyes. "Pegasus is up to something, I'm sure he knows about your friendship with Seiyousa, and it's too dangerous for you to go." My eyes flashed with anger at this, "It may be dangerous Seto Kaiba, but there's no way I'm sitting this out, and I know goddamn well that you're not staying home either, so get over it, I'm GOING." The two of us glared at each other for a few minutes before the limo finally came to a stop in front of the mansion. Neither spoke as we both entered and went off into our own rooms, each slamming and locking our doors. I threw my school uniform on the floor of my room, and quickly dressed in my favorite attire of short black shorts, black tanktop, and combat boots. After tying a yellow bandana around my upper arm to hide the Armlet, I slipped out of the mansion via my window. I ran to my Harley and jumped on, starting it at the same time, and took off to meet with Kaido, picking Marik up on the way.
