Radishes
Hiya! It's the Disclaimer here. I most definitely do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of it's characters. (If I did, I'd use Kaiba as my personal blood donor. Mmmmm, CEO blood :9 ) I also do not own Rapunzel, so the ghosts of the Brothers Grimm better stop haunting me in my sleep! & if anyone has written a story similar to mine (or copied word for word) prior to my posting this story that was not intentional. That should clear up any creepy looking guys with southern accents coming to my house & saying "You stole my story." (that concept does not belong to me either!)
Once upon a time there was a dude & a dudette. Sorry, a man & a woman. Their names are not important because they're only in the next five paragraphs. One day they were feeling quite hungry, which was really bad for them, because the nearest grocery store was about 10,000 miles away. "Say, I could really use some radishes," said the man. "Me too," said the woman." Hey, I know where to get some radishes, down at the witch's garden. " Now, if you've ever read a fantasy book in your life, you know to never, ever, EVER take anything out of a witch's garden. But these buffoons hadn't, so off they went.
Now the witch didn't mind people going in her garden, so long as they asked. There were people who didn't, but you usually didn't see them again.
Back to the farmers. They were quite successful in borrowing *cough*stealing*cough* the radishes, but were utterly incapable of leaving. Why you ask? Because they were toads. Not to mention the fact that they were in a custom-made Toad-Trap™ .Now I know the whole toad thing is the biggest cliché in the book, but this is the witch that invented the toad idea, & the Toad-Trap™ of course. Witches all over the world remember the Great Lucinda (that's her name) & have passed her knowledge down through generations. (somewhere along the way the spell changed to frog, but that's not my problem.) Now then, back to the story. Lucinda was walking back to her garden whistling a merry little tune. "Time to check the booby traps!" Said Lucinda, to her pet toad (duh) "Ah, someone's been in my garden." The two toads looked up at her desolately. "O.K., I'll turn you back, but only for a price." The toads' expression changed from desolate to intrigued. (that is, if toads' expressions do change, the only one I've seen is bored.) "Weeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll, I've always wanted a little girl to call my very own. So the next one you have is mine, if you want to leave here alive, that is."(Lucinda had never heard of orphanages.) The toads looked shocked. (if they can. ) "Oh, come on, it's a fair deal, isn't it?" The toads shook their little toady heads. (I love toads!) "Well, looks like I'll have to feed you to the cat. Unless that is, you want to reconsider. " The toads nodded vigorously. "O.K., since you already have a little girl, I'll just pop over to your house & grab her. Sound fair?" The toads nodded slowly. "Great! Off you go then." The farmers suddenly found themselves back in their homes & bodies, but their little girl was gone. "Too bad." Said the farmer. "We never even got to give her a name." (She was about 3 years old.) "Come on, let's get some milk." (In case you're wondering, the farmers would have been TERRIBLE parents.)
So the little girl (now named Radishes. [Lucinda was used to naming pets]) Went on living with Lucinda & the farmers went on farming & everything was just peachy.
Until 14 years later, something extraordinary happened ................. .
Well, that's It for now! I know you're wondering where Kaiba is in all this & I can only tell you he comes in later. ^_^ See you next chapter! ~ The ElfKing
