Cerulean Eyes

She sat in silence, not daring to look at either of the two boys sitting across from her. Her eyes were cast to the ground, not displaying any sign of resistance. She had been given a coat to keep warm but the elder Kaiba's hostility alone was enough to make her shiver again.
"Where to sir?" She heard the driver ask timidly.
"Back home fool," Was the scornful reply.
"As you wish!"
She shuddered again and stared out the window at the lashing rain…

He was thoroughly annoyed with having another problem he had to handle. No doubt Mokuba would keep her entertained but he could not afford to have another resident at his mansion. Of course, money wasn't a matter. But to keep her entertained was something else.
He betted that she would start complaining and whining as soon as she set foot in the house. He had his little 'pep talk' all prepared, guaranteed to put a stop to her moans. But he was still annoyed.
He had a tournament to run! He had Kaiba Corp to run. And now, he was to take care of this…refugee or whatever she was. He had no business with her at all.
And she seemed to be so fragile and frail it looked as if she needed constant surveillance as to make sure she didn't drop dead any second. Kaiba sighed and rubbed his temples. So many thoughts were giving him a headache. For now, he'd just give her a bed to sleep in and some food.
But the next day, he could and would get rid of her for good.

The limo pulled up beside the mansion as Kaiba, Mokuba and the girl stepped out. Mokuba was eagerly clinging onto the girl's hand as they walked to the front door.
Kaiba rang the doorbell and the chimes echoed along the darkened hallway.
After a while, a face peered out from behind the door.
"Mister Kaiba!"
"Let us in already!" Kaiba snapped irritably.
Was it just him or did everything seem so slow and dull today?
"Yes sir."
The door was flung open as the maids hung up their coats. One of them threw a questioning glance at the girl.
"Just get her some warm clothes and get her out of my sight," Kaiba growled, frustration building up even more in his system, "Mokuba…go to bed."

He scowled at the injustice of this. He was always told to go to bed even with something as exciting as this. He stared at his brother sullenly with a new eye.
How many times had he been told-no, commanded-by his older brother when he, Mokuba, wanted to do something?So he defied his brother's orders again and led the girl to his playroom.
"Do you know Duel Monsters?" He asked eagerly, holding out a deck of cards Seto had always kept as a store behind his desk.
The girl shook her head, silent and obedient.
"Good!" Mokuba piped up cheerfully, "I'll teach you then!"
The girl nodded dumbly as Mokuba began explaining the rules of Duel Monsters. After a while, they battled, using holographic images Kaiba had installed in his house.
He found she had a preference to dragon type monsters although she never said so. Come to think of it, she had not said a word since she had boarded the limo.
Determindely, he pushed those thoughts back and kept on dueling. He won against her three times.
She did not say a thing as an irritated older Kaiba strode into the room and reprimanded Mokuba for staying up so late. Then, Kaiba ordered for her to go to bed.

She was led to a little room where some kind girls handed her a light blue dress and some white slippers-the only feminine clothes they could locate in the huge mansion.
They patiently untangled her hair and brushed it until it was smooth. And yet, their warmth did not reach her. She felt empty…unable to recall past events.
What is wrong with me?

He sat in his study, staring at the oak table, not taking in anything his notes were showing. A pen steadily dripped blue ink onto the crisp white sheet.
For some reason unknown, he could not rid his mind of her cerulean blue eyes. They burnt his mind, digging deep within it. He was sure he had seen her before.
But where? Definitely not in Japan. Not in America. Then…where else had he visited? A sudden thought hit him. Could it have been…in Egypt?
A sudden vision of a stone tablet and a blue eyes white dragon popped into his mind. That was it! The CEO recalled the vision he had seen on the Battle Ship in the duel against Ishizu.
A priest that resembled him holding her. Yes, he was certain now. She definitely looked like the girl in his vision except with blonde hair instead of white.
But those eyes…even though the eyes were closed in the vision, somehow, he just knew the dead girls' eyes were the same cerulean blue as the girl he had rescued.
Kaiba felt anger and shame build up within him again. Thinking along that line made him seem like he believed the Ancient Egypt codswallop and the rubbish about 'fate' and 'destiny'. It would make him on the same level as Yugi with all his crazy beliefs about his 'past life'.
Kaiba put down his pen, opting for a good night's sleep before he thought any further. Perhaps a bit of rest would rid his mind of those jumbled thoughts.
But as he lay in his luxurious four-poster bed, he could not forget those eyes…those eyes…
Kaiba grunted in frustration and lay on one side, facing the wide window. Perhaps there was a single grain of truth behind the trash about Egyptian past…

She lay in the bed, covered in silky sheets. She could not rest. Somehow, her mind was in a buzz, not willing to let go and sink into slumber.
She stood up, walked to the window and looked out. The city lights gleamed before her, cars, lighted signs and streetlights all creating a fantasy world of little fairy lights.
She smiled and rested her head against the glass. A steady blue light began to pulse in her eyes; her whole body began to shine…

Seto Kaiba lay and watched the skyline from his resting position. He felt his eyelids droop and half close…until a sudden flash of blue light brought him to his senses. He scrambled unsteadily out of bed and half crawled to his window, azure eyes widening.
There was no mistake. Against the darkness of the night, he could clearly make out the silhouette of a dragon. A white dragon…
Kaiba jumped back as the dragon roared against the sky but not making a sound. How could that be? Its mouth was clearly moving as it definitely looked like a roar. But no sound came from its gaping jaws.
Kaiba blinked in disbelief and received a shock for the dragon was no longer visible. He crawled back to his bed, finally falling asleep after a night of confusion…
000
She lay, leaning against the window, eyes closed peacefully, unaware of the power she had just unleashed into the night…
