Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! although I do have permission from my friend Khitoutsu Hikutsa to add to her fic, so check it out when you're done here.
Marik and I stood outside the door of Seto's home office, listening to him yell at Kaido for our failure and getting thrown in jail. Neither of us spoke a word until Kaido shouted her personal reasons for wanting Pegasus dead, followed by an erie silence. We looked to each other and whispered "oh my God...". Soon after, the silence was broken by my brother's drunken rage, and Marik took the opportunity of his girlfriends absence to lean over and kiss me. Things heated up from there, and we ended up in my bedroom. As soon as it was over, we noticed that the yelling had shifted, and Seto's rage was now directed at Lilliana. Marik quickly dressed and headed out, finding Kaido in an even worse mood than usual. She revealed that she'd heard us, and was about to plunge the Millennium Blade into Marik's heart when my Armlet reacted, putting a barrier between the Blade and his chest. Kaido looked to me, telling me she now wanted to kill both me and Marik for our betrayal, and I couldn't blame her. As soon as I saw the hurt in her eyes, my own heart shattered. Kaido'd been my first real friend and one of the only ones I had, and I managed to stab her in the back in true Kaiba style. I knew then that I'd never be able to make it up to her, so I watched silently as she and Marik both walked off the property before going back inside to cry and dress for school.
(Narrative POV)
With everyone else gone, Seto's drunken rage had turned on Lilliana. He paced back and forth in his study/office, venting his misguided anger. Lilliana sat silently, her head hung low and tears streaming down her face as Seto screamed at her. What the HELL is goin on around here? First my sister get's involved with Kaido, after I TOLD her not to, then those three idiots manage to get arrested.. like the press doesn't have enough bad shit to print about me as it is... Then I have to bail their sorry asses out, and come home to have the damned Blade held to my throat, and what were you doing? NOTHING! You couldn't even TRY and say something, I could be DEAD right now, and you'd just be sitting there like NOTHING happened!. I swear it's like everyone around here has lost the ability to THINK!" Lilliana decided she's taken all she could of Seto's bitching, and stood up, walking out of the study and leaving the mansion. Her pale form disappeared into the night.
(Domino High, Mystic's POV)
I had spent the entire day avoiding everyone and trying to think of something to say to Kaido. As I was walking past the Chem Lab, I saw Seto sitting at one of the back tables, skipping lunch in favor of working. I noticed a shadowy figure lurking behind him, but didn't think anything of it until a flash of silver shone in the flourecent lighting. I slipped into the room and grabbed the figure, ignoring Seto's confused shout of "What the hell..." I pulled the figure into an empty hall way and pinned it to the wall. The figures face was covered and only their eyes could be seen, but I knew who it was. "LIL!" "what" "what are you d-... Stop trying to kill my kakei" "He started it" "He was drunk !" "That is not the point, he did not even have the decency to apologize to me." "Well of course he didn't. he's Seto freakin Kaiba !" "He's such a JERK!" Well DUH Lil... we all told you that" "I am glad he doesn't know that I was the one that almost did that to him!" "Hmm... not yet anyway" Lilliana shook her head and walked off, leaving me to wonder exactly what he'd done to her this time until the bell rang.
I made my way slowly up to Kaido at the end of Study Hall, knowing very well that she was still angry with me. As I approached, I spoke quietly. "Hey Kai- Satoshin, can I talk to you for a minute?" She kept her face hidden in her book, but the Millennium Blade put out a soft glow by her ankle. I knew she was pissed, but I didn't think she'd been mad enough to pull the Blade out of the shadow realm. I sighed and and ignored the fact that Yugi was within hearing distance. "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 and she got up to leave, the last thing I heard from her further shattered my heart. "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." With that, Kaido walked out of the classroom, and left me standing there, even more heartbroken than I was before.
(Mysterious Watcher in the shadow Realm, narrative POV)
She hid herself in the violet mist of the Shadow Realm, watching with mild interest as the spirits of the Blade, Ring and Puzzle argued. She smiled to herself, remembering well the past that Raikuru spoke of, and enjoying the look of hurt on the face of the Pharaoh. She would have liked to slap the smirk off of Bakura's face though. If the Tomb Robber had any idea of what REALLY happened back then.. he wouldn't be smiling quite so much... She thought as the argument went on. As Raikuru walked away and returned herself to the confines of the Millennium Blade, and the Pharaoh returned to the puzzle, she stepped out and crossed her arms. "Hello again Tomb Robber." Bakura's head shifted only slightly as he looked to her from the corner of his eye. "Keket... to what do I owe the honors?" She laughed and shook her head. "Watch yourself Bakura, there are secrets hidden well in Domino City, you would do well to actually USE the Ring's power to detect other Items... the result may just surprize you..." Her form faded from the shadows, causing Bakura to leave his hikari alone for once and think over what had been said.
(A/N: Hmm... mysterious girl in the shadow realm... spooky! Sorry to leave ya with a cliff hanger of sorts, but it's 3:30 am and I need sleep... SEE YA!)
