Chapter 4
DDR, Karaoke, and Dreams
"Hey, I know!" exclaimed Joey. "How 'bout we go to da' arcade?" he asked, an excited glint in his eyes.
"Yeah! Seto's paying!" Mokuba exclaimed happily. His brother looked up from the lap top and down at him, blinking. Then he scowled.
"No." he said simply, but then, Mokuba unleash the ultimate weapon… THE EVIL CHIBI EYES OF DOOOOOOM!
"Please, Seto?" he begged, turning up the charm when his eyes started to water and he sniffled.
"Augh!" Seto shouted, turning away, but everywhere he turned, Mokuba would step into eye-sight. "Ok, fine, ok! Just…. Stop with the eyes and the sniffling and the crying! MG!" (1) He exclaimed, giving in because, of course, no one can resist the evil chibi eyes.
"YAY!" Mokuba exclaimed, suddenly looking perfectly happy.
"I'll go where ever the cutie in the leather is going." Vampie purred, and Yugi blushed again, this time, much darker.
"I have to go where ever she's going to make sure she doesn't do what she does best: Cause chaos." I said, sighing.
"Then I suppose we're all going, then? Majority rules?" Ryou asked, looking around. Everyone nodded.
"Alright then!" said yugi, trying to get Vampie off arm which she was currently clinging to. "Let's go!"
It didn't take long for us to get there; about twenty minutes. We walked the whole way, just let me add. (2)
The arcade was fairly big, although I had seen bigger. It he fighting gaming, a couple of places set up for dueling, karaoke and, of course, what arcade would be complete without…
"DDR!" Tea' shrieked. "Who wants to challenge me? I'm the best!" she bragged.
"No you're not." said a voice, and Tea' stopped gloating long enough to be stared at so hard that she winced as if she had been physically struck. Stared at by a pair of piercing dark blue eyes… "I am." Said Kefira, glaring Tea' into the ground.
Tea' backed up. She was resisting the urge to run away screaming. But she didn't, and she stared right back at the darker teen. "Prove it." She said simply.
"Ok, fine. You're on! I challenge you!" Kefira said, perking up.
"Fine!" Tea' agreed, although worried at the malevolent look Kefira was giving her.
"I'll choose the music." Said the raven haired girl as they claimed up onto the stage. When they got up, Kefira went though the selection and chose 'I like to move it' as the song.
"Are you ready?" Tea' asked her.
"I'm ready to beat you, yes." She replied.
The music started.
'Wow..' I thought. They were both incredible. Their movements were completely in sync with the loud, fast music, and their bodies weren't tiring a bit. At least that's how it appeared…
Kefira's p.o.v.
'She's weakening…' I thought to myself. 'It won't be long until she slips up...' I smirked. This mortal girl was a formidable opponent, but she was going to lose… 'No doubt about it…' I thought, 'she looks like she's getting tired…'
My p.o.v.
They were almost at they end of the song, when suddenly, out of no where…We gasped. Tea' tripped. And fell.
Needless to say her score dropped rapidly.
In a victory described as 'standing above the rest'… Kefira Lenette was pronounced the winner. No cheating. No set up. Tea' lost.
"You…you….no….how!" Tea' managed to gasp out, staring at the malevolent raven haired girl standing in front of her.
"Practice." Kefira said simply, smirking and turning to walk back to her seat.
"Stupid gothic show-off…" Tea' muttered. Big mistake on her part. Kefira heard her.
"What.did.you.call.me!" she hissed, turning back to Tea' with a venomous glare that showed the fury in her eyes.
Tea' was surprised to see the girl turn on her so fast, but still managed to retort, "You heard me, I called you a stupid gothic show-off! What are you gonna' do about it!"
"Ok, first of all, I'm not stupid. I was the third smartest girl in my school. Second of all, I am not gothic! …I just dress like it. Last of all, I'm not a show-off. I just have a constant habit of putting preps in their place."
"Are you calling me a prep!"
Smirk. "Hey, you said it, not me."
"Grr!"
"Ooooh! Cat fight!" Guess who that last comment came from? …You're really taking your time thinking about this, aren't you? ...That's right. Me.
They glared at me then returned to their original positions on opposite sides of the room.
After that, things went pretty smoothly. Joey and Tristan had a duel (in which Tristan got his sorry butt kicked). We caught Vampie trying to get poor Yugi to make out with her (and she almost did). I spent most of the time watching events play out.
By the time we were all done there, it was around nine thirty and we all went home (Well, they went home; Yugi let me stay at his house in the guest room) and went to bed although I did not sleep dreamlessly…
Dreamscape
My half lidded eyes were wide at the sight awaiting me in my dreams. It was a hall, narrow and black. The strange thing, though, was the walls were covered, top to bottom, in screens.
'Shi-daisy…' (3) I thought as I realized were I was. 'I'm not supposed to be here…' I stared at the walls covered it my yami's memories. I often ended up here in my subconscious, but I never looked at any of the memories. Bastet would be furious if I looked at one… oh well! Time to talk a stroll down memory lane! I touched the first screen I saw, and the scene started to play out.
The scene started out with two children, a girl and a boy. The girl had golden brown hair, much like my own…hum… and pretty golden cat eyes…yami? I smiled at the sight of my currently pre-teen yami, smiling at a boy near by. He had silky white hair and a scar on his right cheek. He just smirked back and turned away. My yami frowned.
The scene ended there. Who was that boy? Yami had never mentioned anything about her past, but it seemed, or so it looked like, that her yami had like this boy. Why did he seem to barely acknowledge her existence? I walked down the hall further until I came to another screen that seemed to call out to me…I tapped the screen, and the memory started…
This time, it started in a cave. It was the same people; my yami and the mysterious boy. This time, they looked much older; in their early twenties, maybe. They were walking along the passages of the cave quickly, the boy walking behind Bastet, glaring a hole in her back. Suddenly, with out warning, her launched himself at her, pinned her face down is the dirt, and the next thing I saw scared the hell out of me. In a few swift movements, my yami had a knife lodged in her back, along with four other stab wounds. The boy got off her, backed up, shot her a regretful look, and ran off in the other direction.
'Oh god…….t-that was my yami's death…'
And I woke up.
End Dreamscape
I tiredly wiped the sleep from my eyes, yawned, and opened my eyes… to see my yami glowering down at me.
"What the hell were you doing in my memories!"
Becka: Yay! 'Nother chapie done!
Bastet: Stop changing the subject, hakari, and tell me why that boy was in your soul room!
Becka: gulp well… umm…

(3): it's what one of my friends says instead of shit. XD
