Chapter 15- The festival and a Stalker

Outside, on the side walk.

"I know how much it means to you to do your father's favorite dance with your stepbrother."Yugi said. Kyree looked up at Yugi in shock. "How did you...?"She gasped. "Seto told me. Your father married his mother. Then when your father died, you moved in with your grandmother. But you always kept your ties with the Kaibas."Yugi said looking down at Kyree sternly. "How come you never told me?" Kyree looked away."You never asked and I don't like talking about it." "Well what happened to your mother, and Kaiba's father?"Yugi asked a little gentler. "My mom died in childbirth. Seto's dad disappered after Mokuba was born...my grandmother is my mother's mom. She's the only blood family I have left. Seto and Mokuba are my last ties to my father..."Kyree said sadly. "Kyree, I'm sorry."Yugi said, hugging Kyree tighter. Kyree looked up at Yugi and smiled even through she was crying. "Please excuse me, I have to get home before it's too late. Grandma wants me to cook tonight..."Kyree said after Yugi hugged her for a few more minutes. "Alright. I'll walk you home."Yugi offered. Kyree was about to reply when Yami stepped out from behind a tree. "Yugi, Grandpa wants you home, now. I'll walk Kyree back."Yami said. Seeing the look Yugi was giving him, he quickly added;"She'll be safe, I promise." Kyree looked at Yugi and mouthed something. Yugi sighed and let her go. He stood back and watched his brother walk home Kyree for a few more minutes before he turned around and headed to his own home.

Yami and Kyree;

"You don't have to walk that far away from me."Yami said offendly. "Sorry."Kyree said as she walked a little closer to Yami. "Here's your house."Yami said, gestering to the door of Kyree's house. "Thanks for walking me home."Kyree said, searching in purse for her keys. "It was no big deal. Just stop acting so afraid of me."Yami said. "Ok, sorry about that."Kyree said qiuetly. "Stop saying you're sorry!"Yami said before turning around and walking away. Kyree stared after him for a while before turning around and heading into her house.

School the next day;

Yugi entered his homeroom and was surprised to see Kyree sitting with her head on the desk. He walked over and lightly shook her shoulder. In surprise, Kyree jumped out of the chair and into a fighting stance. "Oh, Yugi. Don't do that!"Kyree said when she saw him. "What were you doing?"Yugi asked as Kyree sat back down in her seat. "Sleeping."Kyree replied before her head went crashing down on the desk. Everyone turned to look to see what that loud sound was and when they saw Kyree, they just shrugged and went back to their own buisness. "Did you stay up late?"Yugi asked, waking the girl up again. "You can say that."Kyree said scornfully as she rubbed her eyes. "What were you doing?"Yugi asked again. "Training." "For what?" "I have to keep fighting."Kyree repiled. "Look what I learned to do!"Kyree said as she got up. She crouched on the ground like a cat and kicked her legs up in the air, holding them like that, she started moving on her hands, making her feet kick in a circuler motion. She started moving faster and faster untill she looked like an upside down tornado. She stopped suddenly and flipped back up to her feet. "Cool huh?"Kyree asked, happily. "That was amazing!"Yugi said. The entire class was clapping. "Let's go back to the gym to prepare for the festival."Kyree said hauling Yugi out of the classroom.

Begining of the Festival

Yugi looked around for Kyree. She wasn't there yet. He himself was dressed in a black kimono with red striped that adorned the edges. He had arrived with Yami and Anzu. Yami was dressed in a simlier kimono only his was red with the black. Anzu was wearing a light blue kimono with pink edges. "Yugi!" Yugi turned around to see a waving Kyree. She wore a red kimono with a gold and white dragon on it. Her long hair was tied back with a white ribbon and unlike everyone eles who wore sneakers and stuff, she wore oringal sandals. She had arrived with Kaiba who was wearing a grey kimono with black stripes on the edges. "Hey Kyree! You look amazing!"Yugi said when Kyree was near him. "Yeah, Kyree, you look pretty good."Anzu said smirking. Yami just nodded his head at her, "Thanks, you all look good too!"Kyree said with a big smile on her face. Kaiba once again picked up Kyree by the back of her kimono and held her in front of everybody. "Kyree made mine and her own kimono. You guys should really find out what talents this little girl posses."Kaiba said proudly. "SETO! I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL!"Kyree shouted trying to kick Kaiba. He quickly set her down and stepped back a little. "I'm gonna kill you!"Kyree snarled lunging at him. Well she would have if Yami and Yugi had not grabbed her arms. "Kyree calm down!"Yugi shouted. "Let me help you with that."Mr.Takahashi said coming from behind them and grabbing Kyree by the back of her kimono and holding her above the ground a good four feet. "Chill out."He said calmly. When Kyree calmed down, he set back on her feet. "There ya go, get your places guys, I decided not to do the singing, we'll have the few dances, then open the booths, maybe have a couple of you guys lead everyone els in a dance and then wrap it all up."Mr.Takahashi said, walking away. Kyree nodded to Seto then she ran off to the stage where she was supposed to be. "What's with her tonight? She didn't even say good bye to Yugi..."Yami said. Yugi shrugged and ran off to where he was supposed to be. Yami gave Anzu a kiss before she walked away. Seto walked off to Kyree's part of the stage.
Yugi's P.O.V

Remember, don't get jealous. Kaiba is going over the to help getting ready for the tango. Or a song or something.I sat down on the edge of my stage to watch Kyree. She's the opening act. Well she and Kaiba. "Anzu, I'm going over ther to watch them dance."I said to Anzu before heading over to them.

Over near Kyree;

"It's time for Kyree and Seto to dance!"Mr.Takahasi shouted to the huge crowd. The curtain rasied and it showed Kyree and Seto in the opening satnce of the tango. As soon as the music went off, they started dancing. Some of the guys in the crowd made catcalls to Kyree and some of the girls called to Kaiba. The dancers ignored them and continued on. "What's wrong with you, you seem ticked off."Kaiba asked Kyree before he sent on her spin. When she collided with him again she decided to answer. "I'm just a little upset that's all." She said when Kaiba dipped her. "Well perk up. Yugi is in the front row and he's watching you."Kaib said as he purposly spun Kyree so she could see. "Make sure you go up to him. He seems real down and it's up to you to cheer him up."He continued, dipping Kyree again. The dance ended and the dancers stood at arms lenth from each other, panting. "Give it up for Kaiba and Kyree!"Mr.Takahashi shouted. While the crowd was cheering, Kyree slipped off the stage and ran straight to Yugi. "Yugi!"Kyree shouted, giving him a bone crushing hug. "H-hey Kyree!"Yugi said, returning the hug. Kyree smiled at him, then stood on her toes to kiss Yugi's forehead. Yugi smiled down at her, kissing her lips. Kyree returned the kiss for all she was worth. People around them started to cheer so Yugi quickly broke away and Kyree hid her face in Yugi's chest. "Hey, people, back off! Go watch Joey and Mai do the waltz!"Kaiba shouted from the stage. Kyree smiled gratefully at Kaiba and pulled Yugi off to the other side of the park where the festival wasn't being held.

The other part of the park;

"Kyree?"Yugi called out her name. One minute she was right next to him, the next she wasn't to be found. "Kyree?"he called again. Yugi then felt something slip around his waist from the back. He quickly spun around and saw Kyree staring at him, a playful smile on her lips. She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around Yugi's neck, pulling him towards her. Yugi's arms went around her waist and he bent his head down to kiss Kyree. After a few minutes, Yugi pulled away, much to the diapponitment of Kyree. "I have to go do my dance."He said, a little down heartdly. "Alright, we'll finsh later."Kyree said. She slipped her hand inside Yugi's and together they walked back to the festival.

End of the Festival.

Yugi sighed wiped the sweat from his brow. He was on clean-up duty and who knew that cleaning a prak could be so much work? "Hey, Yugi! Care for some help?"Kyree shouted from one end of the festival grounds. Yugi nodded and Kyree started cleaning. She ran up and down the festival grounds with a large broom and when she was done sweeping, she ran up to the booths and the make shift stages and still using the broom, she knocked everything in to managable pieces. She then pushed all of the pieces towards Mr.Takahashi's car, throught the broom on top of the pile and ran back to Yugi who was standing there, speechless. "Heh. Ready to go?"Kyree asked as she wiped dust off her kimono. "...sure..."Yugi stammered. Kyree gigled and slipped her hand inside of Yugi's. Together they left the park and headed down the sidewalk. "Should I walk you home?"Yugi asked. They lived in different directions. "And stay?"Kyree asked, hiding her eyes. "Huh?" "Spend the night at my house? I've spent the night at your house..."Kyree pointed out, looking up at Yugi. "Alright." Yugi agreed. "Really? Great!"Kyree exclaimed. She wrapped her arms around Yugi and he hugged her back.

"Well let's get going. It's really dark out.'Yugi said, pulling away from Kyree, but keeping a hold on her hand. He saw her nod, so they started walking towards Kyree's home. Suddenly something grabbed Kyree from behind. "YUGI!"Kyree screamed before whoever it was hand went on her mouth and their other arm went around her waist from behind. "KYREE!"Yugi shouted. "You're mine now!"The thing shouted, stepping into the light. It was the same man that attacked Kyree before. When Kyree realized this, she started squirming and whimpering, trying to get away. "Let her go!"Yugi shouted, stepping towards the man threatingly. "Not til I've claimed her. "The man said, punching Yugi with the hand that was over Kyree' mouth. Kyree, having her mouth free, cried out. "Yugi! Are you ok?"She shouted, still trying to get away. "Shut up you, your little friend will be ok, as long as you coperate."The man hissed, spinning Kyree around so she was facing him. "Big Mistake."Kyree growled. She rasied her knee and rammed it as hard as she could in the man' senstive area.

The man realeased her and Kyree quickly ran to Yugi. "Yugi! Are you ok?"Kyree cried, lifting Yugi's head off the pavement. "Oww, yeah, how'd you get away?"Yugi asked, sitting up and rubbing his head. Kyree jerked her thumb over at the man writhing on the ground in pain. "Let's get out of here!"Yugi said, standing up and pulling Kyree to her feet. "Yeah, let's get- Ouch!"Kyree said suddenly, gripping her ankle. "I must've twisted it getting away."Kyree grunted. Yugi glanced over at the man who was still on the ground and then back at Kyree. He sighed then crouched down in front of Kyree. "Get on back."He said. Kyree nodded and got on Yugi's back. his hands went under her knees to secure her and her arms went arond his neck loosely so she wouldn't strangle him. Yugi got to his feet and quickly ran to Kyree's house. Yugi didn't put Kyree down till they got to her room. "Kyree?"Yugi called. He spun her around off his back so he was holding her bridal style. "She fell asleep.'Yugi said, laughing. He laid her down on her bed and softly kissed her lips. Yugi then sat indian style at the end of her bed, watching Kyree sleep.

OMG! That was long! Well enjoy!
