LefthandedFreak: The results are in! (Yugi, Yami, Joey, Kaiba, Bakura and some random camera guy circle her)
Joey: What did they vote for!
Bakura: If they where smart they'd just drop it off here.
Kaiba: Whatever (writes in notebook Avoid LefthandedFreak's stories at all costs)
LefthandedFreak: The lovely and wonderful reviewers voted for… (Everyone holds their breath. Kaiba mentally falls to his knees and begs) A CONTINUATION! Squee!
Kaiba: Seeya (starts to leave)
Yugi: Where are you going?
Kaiba: Don't get me wrong, I like being around you guys it's just her (points at Lefthand) I have a problem with. So I will now hurtle myself off the tallest building possible. (Leaves.)
LefthandedFreak: (Seeming to not have noticed) I hope that all of you will enjoy the continuation and I hope that I won't screw it up. I have made it my life's duty to point out that many continuations aren't as good as the original. (Sighs) Hopefully this may be an exception. I'm still thinking of a title.
Yami: (sees image of Kaiba hurtling by the window outside) Umm…Lefthand?
LefthandedFreak: (ignores) And…I'm going to let you all choose from the list I've established on what the continuation will be and only because I can't choose myself. I'd let you all give me a suggestion but I'd probably just screw it up. (sighs)
Yami: (gazing out the window as he watches Kaiba fall. Tugs on her sleeve) Lefthand…anytime now you may want to save Kaiba!
LefthandedFreak: (ignores) and now onto the reviews!
Skellum(Hugs tightly) thank you! I'm glad you like it! I'm also glad I'm not a bad author! As you wished I shall write a continuation! Wee! (Hugs again)
DragonLady222Oh if our hero's only new what sort of miracle was going to bestowed on them…Anyways, thanks a million! Continuation it is!
HellsEternalFlameAnd you didn't even vote (waves finger in shameful manner). Ah, well, they are pretty sad heroes. I mean, come on. They've been through shadow realms and weird competitions plus dealing with me to the equivalent of being held at gunpoint and deprived of coffee you'd think they'd be able to save one person from a raving-worst-of-all-nut-jobs-that-should-really-get-new-priorities-but-insteads-harasses-daytime-telvision-and-eats-rice-krispies-for-breakfast. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard, right? Oh and, I loved her too.
DaggerYOUR BACK! (Tackles) My firstest reviewer for this story is back! (Sniffs) Yay! Ah, don't worry; we all get weighed down by crap we have to do. I believe in ya! And just liked you suggested, continuation time! Wheee! Though I don't think my idea is the greatest it shall unveil in time…
And just some pointless info! So far there are 62 pages and 23, 938 words in counting!
Yami: LEFTHAND!
LefthandedFreak: And now to the story!
Note: Sorry, again and again for anything misspelled. Remember, I don't own anything. Not even chobits, which I mention later, own. I DON'T OWN IT OK!
Aphrodite was clinging to Aries, tears streaming down her face as the appeared back on earth, the guys clinging onto the deeply depressed woman
"Shh…crying won't bring her back…" Aphrodite shook her head in his chest, sniffling.
"But it will ease…the…pain.." Aries couldn't disagree. He glanced at the other guys and studied them. Kaiba, for as stubborn as he was, managed to not sleep up and let another tear grace his face but somehow managed to hold a face of displeasure and morn, Joey looked like he couldn't place his own name, Yami had his face hidden, and Yugi had long ago run out of tears. His face ws stained with the trails of his tears and his eyes where dark red. You know, he kind of looked scary.
Aries wanted to comfort them but he didn't know how. He couldn't comfort himself. Nothing he said would ease the pain.
Nothing would help.
Not even that weird light that just happened to shimmer out of the corner. A calculator and a bag appeared from the light, the calculator floating and the bag chasing one of its many tags like a tail. The calculator may not have liked too many people, how he had managed to stay with Fate was beyond him, but it didn't take much to let him know something was wrong.
Very wrong.
"Umm…guys!" Yugi's head snapped up at the familiar voice. It couldn't be…could it? The calculator floated over to him and circled his head. "I feel weird? What happened to my arms?"
Yugi wasn't left in his shocked state alone. Aphrodite and Aries had even decided to participate in this sporting event. I mean, it really should be a sporting even since it looks like a lot of work and…
Yugi: Get on with it!
Right. Anyways, the calculator floated this way and that, giving off a remarkable rainbow glow to the floor. You know, if the light hits it just right it…. ACK!
Bakura: (hides knife) I'll continue it from here…
"Fate?" Yami stared at the calculator. He swore that if it had arms it would have probably have just shrugged.
"Yeah, like you couldn't recognize me". Kaiba snorted at the calculator's response.
"You should really look in a mirror." If Fate had eyebrows, she would have raised one. Instead, she floated over to Yami who had produced a hand held mirror (that he usally only uses for his hair) and looked at her self.
"My god. I've got…. A ZIT! OH curses!" And suddenly, for dramatic effect, they all where sucked back into heaven or wherever they had been, the wall exploded and I entered, clad in the coolest arsenal of crap anyone could have. Pulling a sword from my holster, I quickly scattered through the room, killing all that I saw, including the stupid bag, before running out of the doors and pillaging anything and everything. Then, I killed the stupid higher beings and used their palace to control all those on earth. THE END!
LefthandedFreak: (walks in and finds the guys around her comp. glares from behind) What are you four doing at my computer?
Bakura: (jumps) Just adding a great ending! (LefthandedFreak reads over his shoulder. Pulls out frying pan and manages to knock out Yami, Yugi, Joey (who has a stab wound in his arm), and Bakura. Shoves their bodies to the floor)
LefthandedFreak: I swear. I leave for just a minute to go and buy some comics and they go and cause havoc. Ok. To what REALLY happened.(AN: Thanks to a friend who offered this interruption idea. I can't remember what she wanted me to call her here so I'll just place her as an honorable mention)
Aries wanted to comfort them but he didn't know how. He couldn't comfort himself. Nothing he said would ease the pain.
Nothing would help.
Oh how ironic some things can be. The very things Fate hung around with just had to show up at that moment. The bag had a very sad complexion, well, for a bag that is, and Jerald could be heard muttering at…er…it.
"What is wrong with you? You've been all down in the dumps since Fate left for that 'revealing' party as she called it and…oh and would you look at that. Um…", Jerald ducked behind the bag when he spotted the guys, "There is no talking calculator here…. your just drunk…Yeap, drunk." Kaiba huffed. If it hadn't had been for the weird night that he just had he would be a bit freaked out about a floating talking calculator.
"I'm going to be after tonight.". Aphrodite unburied her head as she heard Kaiba. Turning she faced Jerald. If calculators had eyebrows, his would have been raised.
"Dity? What are you doing here? Why are you cry-", he then of course caught sight of Aries. "Wait, what are YOU doing here? There isn't a war about to break out is there?", and then suddenly, his eyes clashed with another figure…
"Even better, what are YOU doing here Hermes?" Everyone turned. Sure enough, Hermes was standing there, looking a bit down trodden. "I came to…um…give something to Aphrodite but I also sort of, wanted to apologize for believing that Fate had committed murder. Word travel fast and everyone just now understanding what happened.", he nodded up to the sky. "A lot of people are being interrogated by some of the things they said about her too. Serves them right for lying"
Again, if Jerald had eyelids he would have blinked. "Wait, murder? This is news to me? What happened, where's Fate?" Aphrodite moaned and buried her head back into Aries chest. "I'll take that as a bad sign."
Aries sighed into Aphrodite's hair. "It's... Very bad Jerald. You may want to, um, sit down?" He wondered if that was possible but was shortly answered when the calculator floated to the floor. Yami had decided to look at the calculator at that moment. Funny, Jerald as a calculator didn't seem so…quirky.(AN: Someone mentioned that once but I'm too lazy to go back and see who so Kudos to whoever mentioned it!)
"She's…. she's…dead…"Aphrodite chocked out from her place in Aries shirt. "She's dead and there's nothing we can do about it! We'll never see her again." Jerald just, um, sat there, looking up, or at least, that's what Aries assumed, at them. At first, he may of thought they where joking. Fate had been known for almost giving him mechanic attacks (the equivalent of a heart attack) by popping out of nowhere or attacking from behind.
In fact, Jerald couldn't help but let his eyes wander to the nearest bush, expecting her to pop out and giggle like a little schoolgirl. Sadly though, the harsh reality bent down on him as he realized Fate wasn't hiding, planning something mischievous and worse still, would never do so again. "Why…Why did she die?"
"She was framed for Hades murder…". Jerald continued to be hit with more new information. When had Hades been killed? Why was Fate a suspect?
"She wouldn't do that! He was like a bloody father to her. Sure, he had some quirks with her when she got older and did nothing but torment her but he wouldn't have killed him." Aphrodite nodded.
"We know. The real murderer was found out and Fate fought against her… and took the other with her." Jerald couldn't cry. Water would probably short-circuit his gizmos, but if he had been able to, he would have. He glanced over at the bag. It had somehow known something had happened. That's why it had been acting so strangely. And now, the only one who really cared for it was gone. Jerald understood however. Fate had been his creator too. The feeling was mutual.
Aphrodite wiped away any tears remaining on her face. "We should head back guys." She nodded at the other higher beings before turning to Yugi and the others. "Thank you, for all your help."
"But we didn't help anything" Joey muttered as his glared out from underneath his bangs. "Fate is dead! What did we do? We didn't save her. Hell, we hardly made a dent." He sniffled as he shook his head and tried to ignore the headache that started to brew.
Aphrodite gazed at him before a light smile graced her lips and she leaned over and kissed his forehead. "You revealed the truth. That would have made Fate very happy. Emotions or not." She slowly backed away and stood among the spectacles of higher beings. "If it'll make you feel better, I will come back later and give you a little update. Fate's last wish should be revealed by tomorrow"
Yugi raised a brow. "Last… wish?" Aries nodded.
"Every higher being gets one last wish. They can let it be known at any time but only to the oracle. She made hers a long time ago but of course, no one knows what it was. If she had originally committed murder her last wish would not have been fulfilled but now that her innocence has been proven, it will be granted." The others felt slightly happy. At least a dying request would be met.
Dity smiled as Aries, Hermes, Jerald, and the bag started to disappear. "Till we meet each other again. Fond Farewell". Then, they where gone, living our newfound couple staring up at the stars. One seemed to be shining extra bright tonight. Kaiba looked at the others, managed a smile (AN: (jaw hits floor)) and turned around.
"Let's go home"
5 months later
Joey yawned and rubbed sleep from his eyes, careful not to wake his, ahem, partners of crime from the night before. Climbing over limbs, he managed to slip from bed and onto the floor, grabbing his discarded clothes off the ground and pulling a pair of pants on…. Two pairs of pants. He made just enough time to look at his lovers.
Yugi was curled up on Yami bare chest (AN: (puts pot under mouth to catch drool) oh how hot!) who's arm was wrapped against a very stern but adorable brown haired man. (AN: (pulls out another pot)). Moments like these where rare in the Kaiba household due to the fact that Kaiba was always so strung up with work he was either too tired to take part in 'play' or never at home at night and pulling an all nighter.
The other three had of course volunteered to help but Kaiba quickly pushed them away. Joey wasn't too unhappy for that. He didn't know a thing about computers. He wandered downstairs, fully dressed now, and made his way into the kitchen.
And yet, in the midst of making coffee, he couldn't help but still feel a slight tug at his heart. Aphrodite never had contacted them about Fate's wish and them, as mortals, had no idea themselves of how to reach her. Yet, still, even after his thoughts about Fate, something still pulled at him. What it was, he didn't know. He already had what he wanted what more could he need?
At that moment, one of the most peculiar things happened. The doorbell rang. Now, knowing how much Kaiba hated people visiting the house in the morning hours and had made sure that the guards knew so, he wondered how someone could have gotten past them and up to the door. Not wanting the stranger to ring the bell again, he made his way to the door and swung it open.
A very strange sight met him. No one was there. About to close the door again he stopped when he felt a tug on his pant leg. Looking down, he managed to spot a little girl standing there, looking up at him with the biggest brown eyes he had ever seen. Her hair was hidden underneath a baseball cap so he couldn't tell what color it was.
"Um, may I help you?" The girl cocked her head.
"Are you happy?" That was weird! Joey raised a brow.
"Um, yeah, I guess. Why? Who are you?" The girl looked at him still. There was something about her that he just couldn't put his finger on.
"So, nothings missing?" This girl was just getting weirder and weirder by the minute.
"No, now may I ask why you are here?" again, the girl avoided a question.
"So your not feeling a warm sick feeling in your stomach every morning that you get up, everyday that you move around the people of the world, that something hasn't been filed but as far as you know you have everything that you could possibly want?" Joey raised a brow.
"How did yo-"
"Who are you talking to Joey?" Joey spun around in time to see Kaiba raise a brow from behind him.
"The little girl. She was just as-", but as he turned back around, the girl had vanished. Not a trace that she had been there. And there was no possible way she could have made it down the path in that short of time. It was too long. Not even if she had ran. Even if she had run along side the house to hide behind the corner she wouldn't have made it. But where was she?
Kaiba peered out from over Joey's shoulder and then placed a hand on the other forehead. "That's it, no more handcuffs for you"
LefthandedFreak: And that's it for now! Sorry for the weird interuption.
Yami: (still tugging on Lefthand's sleeve, Kaiba near inchesfrom death. He had been falling this whole chapter by the way.) Um.. any day now would be nice!
LefthandedFreak: (sighs. Right before Kaiba hits the ground he stops his speed and is lightly dropped on his head) What, you thought I was going to let him die? What would I do for a sequel without him?
Kaiba: Oww! Curse you Lefthand!
LefthandedFreak: I love you too. Now, for the ideas…
Yugi: Oh god…
Ideas.
In case anyone's wondering, this will all have to take place with…raising a child. Yeah, I know, not as great as this one but! Notice the exclamation mark; I have devised some really good plot twisting and nice dramatic thingies! Wheee! (Runs in circles). A D will stand for the coolness. Take this story for example a murder takes place or Fate has to get the guys together. D means something similar (not the same) will probably happen. Oh and the kid will be a girl. Sorry for the boy people out there.
So here are the choices.
1) Seto has kid courtesy of Fate's wish and Aphrodite's humor (cause I think a pregnant Seto would be funny. Alas, a lot of people do this so I'm not too thrilled by it but whatever it'll fit my AWESOMELY COOL idea) and either…
A) Our four lovebirds promise to raise the and then return her as a replacement for Fate (confusing ne?) to what Fate's appearing age was when she died (cause if it was her original age they'd all be dead) (D) or
B) Raised normally and we have to see how the guys deal with a girl in the house. (Just think about what might happen for her first period. (Laughs) this will of course be incorporated into idea A.
2) They adopt a kid due to Fate's wish. I'm still sort of working out ideas for this one. They kid will probably be either insane (yeah right) or never speak. (Not deaf, just doesn't talk) Not too much humor in my opinion but I could manage to sneak a bit in.
3) Three neighbors, two being Aries and Aphrodite on, what they call, a vacation with a little girl move in next door. There out on a quest for a new Hades. Will who they find tear everything apart? (Cool…I made it sound cooler than it'll probably be. Also, really has nothing with them to raise a kid but more of like, babysitting a lot)
4) This one, its sort of a chobits crossover idea. I like chobits so I said, "Hey, Kaiba's rich and has a lot of electronics. He can make a kid since males physically cannot have children." And what better gift for the others than a child that seems to have trouble with finding out how the thing that 'you-pull-handle-and-watch-water-swirl-down-the-hole' actually works? (D)
Those are my ideas so far. (Sighs) Not very good, are they? As I've said, sequels are never as good as the original. (Peers out window and stops Seto from stabbing himself)
Kaiba: Curse you!
LefthandedFreak: Besides, everyone likes a pregnant Seto, right? Anyways, I'll need your feedback before I can end this story and proceed to the continuation. Hopefully, more people will vote for one idea then everyone voting for a different. I mean, that would be hard. Incorporating two new neighbors looking for a new Hades, while Joey looks into orphanages while Seto deals with labor pains with a robotic kid in his stomach. How weird would that be! Wait, that's a GREAT idea, no one's ever done that before. Ok, this is now choice 5. You may choose which one you like.
