I woke up to the familiar musty scent of the barn, confused. I opened both eyes, the feeling in my body to come back to me. I looked around and blinked. The last thing I could remember was falling in the haystack after putting Sage away. 'I must have fallen asleep.' I told myself shifting in the haystack. My vision finally cleared and I realized my hypothesis was correct. I had most defiantly fallen asleep in the hay inside the barn. I shuffled and got out brushing off all the hay that had attached to my cloths. Yawing I looked into Sage's stall.
"Morning, ass pony. Sleep well?" I asked with a simple smirk. I grabbed a pile of hay and threw it in for Sage to eat. "Remember we gain vengeance tonight. Sage rolled his blue eyes and purred a little sniffing the hay and beginning to eat some. "Aw come on Sage. You help me get over there and out without making a sound ill give you all the cereal bars you can eat." After saying this, the Friesian's head shot up, ears forward. Sage nodded and whinnied slightly. Smiling I turned around and said as I walked out the door. "I knew you would see it my way, love." As I walked the dirt road home I looked up to see my mother talking to someone at the door. It looked like...was it? I started to run getting closer and closer finally to make out the figure of Duke. I approached and my mother looked at me then slammed the door shut.
"Hey." He said turning hands slightly in his pockets. I folded my arms and gave him a cold glare. "Well, your mother seems nice." He said again.
"What do you want Devlin?" I asked with a stern voice.
"Alright, get strait to the point got it. The guys and I are going out to the mall to eat and shop around a little. I felt so bad that I wanted to ask you to come with me."
"Come with you as in...?" I asked arms unfolding slightly.
He just blushed a little "Ehheh...Just as in come." Smiling slightly I nodded and agreed.
"Alright, but your still a dumb ass bastard!" I said following him out to the car still in my jeans and black shirt.
Laughing he spoke "I know I know. Come on get in." He said pointing to his car. I got in and we drove off to the mall.
Seto was looming in the shadows with a bundle of red roses in his hand. As he watched us drive off he looked down at his hand with the roses and threw them down angrily. 'Damn it! Why does this have to be so hard!' The roses fell some of the petals falling off as he gritted his teeth. 'Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! I try and be nice and look what happens! She goes off with Devlin! How stupid is she! He always has his damned fan girls chasing him! He doesn't deserve her...' Realizing what he had just though he looked up. 'I'm not in love with her. No. I refuse that confusing feeling. I just wanted to say I was sorry for being a bastard.' He sighed and picked up the roses. 'She does intrigue me though...I can't deny that.' He looked up to once again face Sage. His guard was let down and he backed away from shock. Sage purred and snorted at him.
"What! Can't a guy be nice once and a while? I did make fun of her without realizing her past! Grrrrr, stupid horse. Why do you keep watching me? Go graze or something!" Sage snorted and walked off while Seto just started to walk. He then stopped having an idea. He took out his pen and wrote something on the card. 'For-' he paused for a moment and looked ahead at the field Sage still watching him. 'The most beautiful woman I have ever seen.' He continued. 'From Se-' He crossed the partial part of his name out heavily until he couldn't see it. 'From your secret admirer' He wrote in its place. He smiled at his handy work and looked around seeing no one he quickly put the flowers on doorstep and walked away not being seen.
Duke pulled into the lot and parked putting his hair behind his ear and getting out. I followed suit.
"So this is Domino mall?" I asked looking up at the building.
"Yes." He replied I smiled a little and walked with him up the stairs and strait into the food court. We walked a way and finally ran into Yugi, Tea', Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and a pretty blonde girl I had never seen before. Duke sat next to Yugi as I took a place across from Bakura.
"Kiss kiss Kess!" Joey and Tristan said as one.
"Hey Kess" Yugi and Tea' greeted together.
"Good morning Kestrel." Bakura said smiling.
"Who's this again?" The blonde girl asked.
"Kestrel. Or Kess for short." I introduced myself.
"My name is Mai." She said with a little smile. I nodded at her and smiled. Everyone just went about talking and I just looked at Bakura.
"So Kestrel how's your life so far in Domino?" Bakura took a sip of his soda.
"Oh, it's good. I'm going to go tonight and sneak into the Kiaba mansion, and steal the Blue eyes white dragon from Seto. Then I'm going to make a video of my holding up the card with a lighter under it and say 'You better send me an apology or else ill burn your beloved card.' Its going to be a long night." I said. At that moment everyone at the table went totally silent. They all just stared at me with a shocked look on their faces.
"You're going to steal the blue eyes white dragon?" They all said as one.
"Shhhh! Quiet! Yes, I am. That little bastard has to learn a little respect for me. He needs to know that I just am not a bitchy girl who has anger issues."
Joey started clapping. "That Kiss kiss Kess is genius! I wish I thought of it earlier!"
"Just be careful Kess." Yugi said. "Who knows what could happen. I would think he would have max security."
"Yea, but that is genius." Mai interrupted. "Really." She nodded.
I smiled at them all blushing a little as everyone seemed to forget about what I had just said. "So, Kess" Mai said again. "Did you meet any boys that you think were cute?" I bit my lower lip and nodded. "OoO! Who! Is it anyone we know?" My glance shifted to Bakura who was talking to Tea'. Mai looking impatient.
"Yes. Someone you all know." I said my eyes shifting back to her.
"You have to tell me who!" She scooted up in her seat and looked over at me interested.
Bakura looked over. "You have found someone to your liking Kestrel? That's great! He's a lucky guy."
"Well you see I'm not sure if he likes me. He's talked to me a few times, but I'm still not so sure I'm fully in love with him."
"Who? Stop babbling on about if you don't think your in love with him or not who?" Mai said again.
"I don't think I want to tell you. I rather keep it to myself...I don't think I could trust you with that knowledge I barely know you." I said looking embarrassed.
"I think you could get any guy Kess. What you think probably isn't true. You are beautiful and could have any guy you wanted." Bakura ensured me.
My gaze shifted over to the white haired boy and I cocked my head a little. "And what if that boy was you Baku?" I asked.
Bakura only blushed heavily. "I would consider myself the luckiest guy on earth." He said quietly as Mai started laughing.
"Well, then. If you don't trust me that's fine, I hope one day you will come to know me better and trust me with that info. Now! Who's up for a bit of shopping?" She stood up. "I'm fucking tired of waiting lets go!" Everyone got up and threw there trash away. Everyone, but Bakura and I. We staid in eye lock, not blinking, not blushing, but just staring. Like if we broke gaze the world would end. My Silver blue and his dark brown, together. I did in fact like Bakura. I wanted to love him, but I still wasn't sure. I broke gaze and stood up. Bakura followed suit.
"All the girls split up into one group and all the boys in another?" Tea' asked?
"How about Bakura comes with the girls and we can be even. Do you mind Bakura?" The young white haired boy shook his head and I smiled at him sweetly. Tea' and Mai linked up hands and started walking leaving me and Bakura in the back. I bit my lower lip out of nervousness and Bakura offered me his arm. Going a slight shade of pink I took it and we walked after Tea'. Because I didn't really want to shop I just went inside and waited for Tea' and Mai to get done then we moved on to the next store. I looked left and saw an ice cream place, and then I looked right and froze in place. Bakura glanced over at me and Mai and Tea' turned around.
I about screamed. Even though it was in Japanese I knew exactly what that place was. I let go of Bakura's arm and ran over to Hot Topic. Bakura scratched his head and followed.
"Jez...it's just a store...Oh look! Old Navy! It was finally built!" Tea' screamed and ran with Mai on her tail. I ran inside and thought heaven was on earth. I had lost all my cloths from hot topic when we moved the last time. I reached into my pocket and saw a hundred forty dollars. I shrugged and started looking around.
"You must really like this place, huh?" Bakura asked smiling as I looked at all the Shirts on the wall. I just nodded really fast. It was amazing that no one was in there, but me Bakura, another boy, and the cashiers. I looked over at the black leather and saw a corset that had black and silver lace on it. I smiled and grabbed that.
Looking only to Bakura to see him looking down and blushing. "Baku! Start looking! Help me out. Or just stand there like you're a misfit!" I said looking though pants. He started looking though stuff.
"So Kestrel what are you going to wear to the spring dance? It's supposed to be a formal event. Do you have a dress yet?" My eyes shot up and I automatically calmed.
"I didn't even know about a spring dance. Well, I guess I could wear one of my old dresses. That will be alright I guess." I picked out some black pants with silver lining and chains on it.
"Well if you want we co-"
"We have dresses for things like that if you like." The woman cashier said.
I turned to her and bit my lower lip. "Alright."
"There over there in the back." She said pointing to the back of the store. I walked over and saw all the gothic dresses that they had to offer. 'Eh.' My mind told me to just wear an old dress. I started looking though them and like something happened with a higher power because when I saw the last dress. It was oh so beautiful, but the price was too high. Looking disappointed I went over to the cashier and paid for my stuff. Bakura looked over at me and wondered. He had never finished his sentence. He probably never would. We walked out of the store together and he offered his arm again. I took it and we walked together down to the old navy. Duke and Joey saw us and waved. I held onto Bakura's arm and smiled.
"There's Duke and Joey." I whispered as Duke ran over seeing me holding onto Bakura's arm.
"Well, well, well" Duke began. "How's the little love birds?"
"Duke you're starting again." I warned.
Bakura blushed a little. "Well without the love birds in that sentence we are fine."
"I see Kestrel had a little fun at hot topic." Duke folded his arms. "What did you get?"
"You will know one day when I wear it." I smiled.
"Well were going to go I'm going to ride with Duke and you so..."
"That's alright." I said getting up and letting go of Bakura. "Well Bakura you are very comfortable and I thank you for allowing me use of your arm." I said with a smile.
"Glad to be of service Miss Kestrel." He said with a return smile. I moved in a little and kissed both of his cheeks then with an English accent I waved and said
"Bye, love." I said following the giggling Duke and Joey.
"Bye..., love" He whispered.
Okay I'm deciding that I'm going to make the break in the next chapter. That was Bakura Kess, fluffiness. So yea, Kess kind of likes Baku-san. But hey! What's with the Seto Kiaba thing? He leaving flowers! Is the world ending? Yea, It is. Well I'm going to go hide in my room and sit in utter darkness. Review!
