Later that day, Seto Kaiba lie on the couch staring up at the ceiling and pondering where Kyoko could have gone. Did she really leave him over such a stupid, silly thing? And accident, a mistake. Soft, rapid footsteps cold be heard from behind him as Aiko entered the room, dressed in black baggy shorts, knee length, and a black T-shirt with the writing 'Green Day: American Idiot'. "Hey dad. How's that hangover coming?" She laughed a little, causing her father to groan.
"You too? And why the hell are you dressed like that Aiko, you're Japanese"
"But I was born in America. And mom's American too"
"Whatever. Where is she?"
"How the hell should I know?"
"Watch your language!"
"Whatever. I'm off to the skate park with Kai"
In fact, Kaida was already waiting for her across the street, skateboard in hand. She was dressed simply in jeans and a white Happy Bunny T-shirt. "You know, you are way too preppy Princess" Aiko commented as she crossed the street and started walking to the park with her friend, who was vehemently protesting the accusation.
"I am not! How dare you call me such a thing? That would be like me calling you a valley girl"
"Shut up!" They both began to laugh at their own little 'inside joke'.
"So any way Kai, how are your parents getting along?"
"Kind of a silly question, they're fine. They talked a little about last night I guess, but nothing bad. Why….are your parents fighting?"
"Yep. Moms off who-knows-where and Dads just bumming out on the couch. So yeah, life's peachy in my house this wonderful Saturday"
Loud shouts from the park mingled with sirens somewhere far off in the distance.
