((In this chapter I added a character based on one of my best friends, Marissa. The character has a err… relationship with Kaiba. How can you think Kaiba's hot, Marissa! I dedicate this chapter to her. Also, any relations with Savay that Alyssa has, is not personally dissing Marissa. Anyways, thanks for all the reviews!))
I was just getting into my sleeping bag when a girl entered the room; about Kaiba's age. She had long brown-red hair that stopped at about the middle of her back. Her eyes sparkled green lights, though they had a bit of a yellow tint to them. (Freak.) She was wearing a slim black dress that stopped just above her knees. Joey, Tristan, Duke, and (amazingly enough) Yugi drooled.
"Alyssa!" Kaiba gasped. "What a surprise!" He jumped off the couch to embrace her.
"Hey, we're glad you could make it!" Mokuba said happily.
"Moki! How are you?" Alyssa laughed. She picked up Mokuba and twirled him around. She gently put him down, and then approached Kaiba. "I've missed you so much." She gave a bug hug to Kaiba.
"Same here. I can't stand being without you." Kaiba said emotionally. Everyone else sweat-dropped.
"So is this room free?" She asked.
"Yes, it is." Kaiba grabbed a sleeping bag, pushed Joey out of the way ("Asshole…") and placed the sleeping bag next to the coach.
"Yay! Alyssa sits next to us!" cried Mokuba with joy. Little kiss-up. Savay rolled her eyes at this.
"So Alyssa, I see you've dyed your hair. What, you don't want to be considered powerful?" Savay said coolly.
"I'd prefer if you don't mention my homeland." Alyssa said back.
"What, weren't you the one who my sister always was saying was 'a perfect example to follow?'" Savay said, staring coldly at her. I had absolutely no idea what was going on between these two.
"You're just jealous. I'm much more powerful, and I have a hot boyfriend." Alyssa said, in a know-it-all way.
"Since when does your eye and hair color have to do with your power limit? Plus, your boyfriend looks like a toad on steroids." Savay said, jerking her head towards Kaiba, who was tucking little Mokuba in.
"Hey, um… ladies? Cool down, it's OK." I said nervously. Kaiba was going to KILL Savay if he heard her calling him a 'toad on steroids,' even if it was true.
"Bakura, I appreciate your help, but this is between me and her." She glared at Alyssa, who glared back.
"Umm… so you have a sister? How old is she?" I asked trying to change the subject.
Savay continued to glare at Alyssa.
Change of subject not working. But then for the first time, I was glad that Kaiba came over.
"Alyssa, dear, would you like to talk to me instead of these buffoons?" He asked gently, stoking her hair.
"Of course." She answered back softly. She gave one last glare to Savay, and started to talk to Kaiba about who-cares-what.
"What was all that about?" I asked her.
"Well, we aren't really rivals, she's just a person from my homeland, and unfortunately most of their population is stuck-up snobs." She said.
"Why don't you just-"
"Give her a chance? Well maybe I should. I haven't been myself ever since-" She drifted off, and then just put her head on her pillow. "I've had a horrible time ever since-" She drifted off again.
"It's Ok." I said, stroking her hair gently. "Everything's just fine." Soon she fell asleep, and I stared at the ceiling in silence.
((Again, Alyssa's actions have nothing to do with what I think of her. Anyways, why does Savay really hate Alyssa? What happened in Savay's past that changed her life forever? Will Kaiba buy Yugi stilts? Thanks Lilly, for giving me this idea! Find out in the chapter!))
