L.W.K: ...fine.
This story is dedicated to: Divey, a wonderful girl who I met by the grace of heaven, and she has graced me with her angelic friendship...and collection of bishie pictures. Grin
This chapter is dedicated to: Whatever the heck I want, 'cause it's MY story! NYAH! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry...just got a little caught up...-Sweat drops-
This story has recently been re-inspired by: My dear friend mentioned above, a very cool looking moon covered in mists, and the awesome song "Shadows of the night"
If you're writing a vamp ficcy, LISTEN TO THAT SONG. TRUST ME. If that doesn't kick it into high gear...geez...you're hopeless.
So, proceed, kind readers! I shall await your comments! ...Hinthint...
NOTE: If you see a number by something, since I'm trying not to put in A/Ns a lot...then scroll down and check the numbered note. If you see a number four, then go down and check the fourth numbered note at the end. Got it? Good.
...Oh, and they're just my notes...so...umm...I'm not responsible of they don't make any sense...eh...blame the same thing that created this fic. My demented mind.The sun shone unrelentingly over the streets, as many people moved below. Hundreds even, as it seemed to Sarah.
They had gotten outside pretty quickly after Sarah paid for their bill at the tavern. Yugi apologized for not bringing money, but Sarah didn't even expect him to, so it was fine.
Her head hurt from all the noise, whether it was angry cursing, cackling gossips, sellers' shouts, the call of the newsboy, the giggle of girls, the chatter of couples, the laughter of children, the clatter of wheels on stone, the honk of horns...
It was too much. It was no wonder that she didn't hang out in crowds...all aside, she didn't like the noise.
And it wasn't just the sounds, when the streets were this busy...ugh. People bumped into you left and right, without so much as an "oops" much less a "sorry". You'd eventually begin to feel like a giant Ping-Pong ball.
And of course, there were smells. Cigars, morning breath, too much perfume on some of the richer people, candy that little kids were eating, some guy's breakfast, motor oil, various flowers, drains, trash, and a bit of alcohol that a man who was sitting in an alley was drinking.
Sarah sighed, she was getting tugged on at light speed by the only person she didn't feel like glaring at.
Yugi looked around excitedly. Boy, he really didn't get out often enough...but the curiosity in his gem eyes was a pleasant sight.
"Just how long do you plan on looking around this place, anyway?" Sarah asked, trying not to sound pushy or bored...though a little of both crept just around her tone.
"Well, I...how long can I?" Yugi asked, turning back to her and stopping for a moment.
Sarah frowned. Not a question she wanted to be asked.
"...Eh...it would be best if we don't take too long...but I guess we can stay for a while...to be perfectly honest, I don't like crowds all that much." Sarah suggested uneasily, muttering the last part.
"Why? I like it. All the people, the smells, and sounds...it's great!" He remarked cheerfully, a bright smile adorning his face.
The minute Yugi turned back to the crowd, Sarah made just about the most horrified and disturbed face possible.
'Oh Lord...he's joking...right? Or is my life just some big joke that some person way up there is laughing their guts out at? I hope they find this amusing, 'cause I sure don't.' Sarah thought with a glare sent up to the skies.
Slowly, the chatter started to die down from its mindless roar. The morning rush was now over, thankfully. They didn't get very far because of the constant push of the crowd.
And, thankfully, this was one of the busiest places in town, so they wouldn't have to deal with all this again.
As they walked, they eventually got to one of the nicer places, a few shops were set up were people could buy some food if they were to busy or had forgotten to make themselves lunch.
Sarah slowly began to remember that Yugi probably hadn't eaten breakfast and neither had she.
"You hungry?" She asked casually.
She was met with an enthusiastic nod and a low growl from Yugi's stomach. He blushed slightly at the sound.
"I'll definitely take that as a yes. We can buy something from the shop over there if you want." Sarah suggested softly.
"Sure!" He replied, and then began to blush even more from the eagerness in his voice.
Sarah walked over, or was dragged over, to a small food shop on the left side of the street. A man was vending some crescent-shaped breakfast pastries still left from the morning's events.
Sarah handed him some money and Yugi picked out the one he wanted, and munched on it happily. The man vending the food gave Sarah an odd look, and Sarah raised an eyebrow. She gave him an analyzing stare, and he quickly returned to his work.
She and Yugi left the shop and Sarah bit into the pastry. She made a sour face, it wasn't that it was bad...quite the contrary, it was very good...but the problem, was that it was far too sweet for her liking this early in the day. Maybe in an hour or so, she might find it more tasteful...but not right now.
Yugi didn't seem to have a problem with it, though. The dark red cherry filling in her pastry slowly oozed out, and Sarah's sour face couldn't have been more so if she had just stuck a whole lemon in her mouth and sucked on it for an hour straight. It was more then enough to remind her. (1)
"Uh...are you going to eat that?"
Sarah blinked, and turned to Yugi to see him eyeing the treat in her hands, which she didn't look too thrilled about.
"Oh...nah. Here, knock yourself out." She pulled off the part she bit on and handed the rest to him.
Sarah chuckled as she watched Yugi devour the delicious treat. He was obviously pretty hungry. Not having breakfast after such a long night can do that to you.
It was more fun to watch him eat it, then eating it herself...she's just find something else to eat later.
'Or someone...' A voice suggested from deep in her mind. She snarled at it, there was no way she was going to.
'No. Way. Especially not with him here, and I'm not that...I'm not like that!'
With that, the argument ceased in the corridors of her mind. However, Yugi was currently noticing something. Just about everyone who looked in their direction stared at them with this odd look.
More specifically, stared at Sarah.
Sarah seemed to notice too, her lips were pursed together, and she attempted to stare ahead, instead of at the people around her.
"...Sarah?" Yugi started quietly.
"What?"
"What's with the staring?" He asked, still in a small voice.
"...It's my clothes." Came the monotonous reply.
"Why?"
Sarah snorted. "Ever seen anyone else who dresses like me?"
Yugi looked over her attire. A night sky black cloak, black boots that matched, and a hood that cast shadows over most of her face, her hands were also hidden by black leather gloves. That's all anyone could see on her, the cloak covered her well.
"Not really..." He admitted.
"Well, they think it's weird...okay? Not many people dress like I do, with the whole cloak thing. And those who do..." She trailed off for a minute, before recovering. "It's just not normal clothing, and when you stand out like that, people tend to take notice."
Yugi frowned slightly. "Then why don't you just take the cloak off...?"
"No."
He was a little taken aback by the harshness of her reply. She quickly reprimanded herself, and tried to make up for it.
"Sorry...I didn't mean to get so worked up...I just, I don't like taking my cloak off. It's not that I can't...it's that I just...don't want to."
"Okay...it was just a suggestion."
There was a long pause, before Sarah spoke again.
"...And...I'm sorry if it bothers you."
"If what bothers me?" He asked with gentleness in his voice.
Sarah sighed, "If everyone staring...bothers you. I mean, I understand if it's uncomfortable..."
"No, I don't mind. The way you dress is fine, and I don't care what anyone else thinks. If it doesn't bother you, then it's no big deal. You're you, and that's what makes you special." He finished with a small smile and his eyes turned back to the road in front of them.
Sarah's eyes sparkled at that moment. Maybe...Yugi didn't know yet, but...hearing that, comforted her...just a little.
'Gotta admit...he's a good guy.' A lighthearted, half smile caressed her lips...but quickly left as soon as it came.
'But...what if he knew, that one of the creatures which is trying to destroy him...is actually traveling with him? What if he knew, that his protector...is...one of them? Will he...turn against me? I wouldn't blame him at all if he did...'
Another pause, a sad look now swept through her eyes, but it too disappeared as soon as it came.
'Now is not the time. I'll think about this when the time comes. Just...enjoy it for now. It's...kind of strange, Yugi is one of the few people to ever treat me like this. But now is not the time to ponder these things, focus on the here and now.'
She looked around her again, Yugi was still examining his surroundings. The sky was still bright, but not as much. It was...what? 3:00? Later?
This day had passed quickly...as days tend to do when a person sleeps late. She nearly bit her tongue in her self-berating at the memory.
"Say, Yugi...? Are you ready to go yet?" She asked, frowning slightly.
"Hmm...I guess so...I just, wish we could stay here a bit more. But I know we have to..." Yugi stopped in mid-sentence, because there was a shop near by. But, this particular shop was selling the one treat that no kid or adult, or anyone at all for that matter, could resist.
Ice cream. (2)
Yugi's eyes were instantly much larger, and Sarah blinked a few times in response to his odd behavior.
"Uh, Yugi...?" She asked, snapping her fingers in front of his face.
"Wha...?" He mumbled, returning from his world of sugary and creamy delight. (3)
"Something wrong?" Sarah inquired, cocking her head slightly.
"Don't you know what that is?" His eyes were slightly wider now, and Sarah was pretty sure they'd pop if he kept doing that.
"...Uh...What what is?"
"Ice cream!"
"...Umm...Ice what?"
Now it was Yugi's turn to blink.
"...You've...never had ice cream before?"
Sarah shrugged sheepishly.
"Well, no. I don't even know what it is..."
Yugi grinned and grabbed her hand, once again pulling her in another direction. By this point, she had learned that Yugi had a pretty good grip. When they had reached the ice cream stand, which probably hadn't taken more then a millisecond, Yugi stopped and looked back at Sarah.
"You have to try some. I know you'll love it."
Sarah held her head, feeling slightly dizzy, "Yeah...I'll take your word for it..." She muttered.
After a few minutes, Yugi and Sarah were both holding icy sweet cones. Sarah's was vanilla favored since Yugi suggested she try something that wasn't too shocking for her first time. And he had a chocolate cone.
Sarah stared at it, examining the object with a small hesitance. Yugi chuckled, "Just lick it. It's good, trust me."
And he started to lick his own. After watching him do so, Sarah mimicked his actions and licked the sweet snowy white cream.
Now she understood why Yugi liked this stuff so much...
"Good?"
Sarah nodded appreciatively, though, her mouth was more then a little busy at the time.
"The first time I ever had this was with my parents..." Yugi commented between licks.
Sarah frowned. That reminded her...she had seen Yugi's grandfather in that, but not his parents. Until now, Yugi hadn't really said anything about his other family.
"Where are they now...?"
"In heaven."
Sarah looked very apologetic upon hearing this. After all, she knew it wasn't a pleasant memory to lose a loved one.
"I'm sorry...I know the feeling." (4)
"It's okay...my grandpa took good care of me, and I'm fine now. It...still hurts a little, but it's not as hard to deal with as it was all those years ago."
Sarah nodded silently, and it became very quiet. They both listened to the sounds of the streets as they ate, and Sarah let her mind wander through time and space.
When they were finally finished, Sarah looked up at the sky, and saw that in the west direction, the sky was reddish-orange, and in the east it was rimmed dark blue. The sun was hidden from view.
...That could only mean one thing.
"Oh man...the sun is almost setting!" She mumbled some indiscernible words under her breath.
"Yugi, we have to get going, right now. We've already wasted a whole day..."
Yugi gave a weak smile of apology, and Sarah sighed, "Don't worry about it, besides, it's my fault. I should have been more mindful of the time. We have about...an hour left of daylight." She guessed, judging by the light in the sky. In reality she wasn't too far off.
"So...which way?" The amethyst-eyed teen asked her, seeming slightly anxious.
"Gimme a minute. I'm thinking." She replied in a distant and slightly frustrated tone.
'Let's see, where did we go? We walked left from the Sakura Tavern, then two rights...after that turn, so, we should be on Machi street. That's pretty close to Marik's house...we're a lot closer then I thought. Heh, but it still isn't easy with Yugi on my back. It's no wonder that I didn't reach it last night.'
"I remember where we are, let's get going." Sarah said briskly as she strode over to the nearest alley. Yugi trotted along behind her, a bit confused.
'Are we going to walk the whole way...? Is there something Sarah isn't telling me?' He mentally asked himself. Of course, there was no answer. Not that he expected one...but it would have been nice. Or...then again...maybe not...
When they were both deeper in the alley so that no one could see them, Sarah knelt again.
And waited patiently for Yugi to climb on her back. He did so, and grabbed onto her neck, still being mindful of the last time when he nearly choked her.
When he was secure, she steeled herself and climbed up a crate, so she'd have an easier time jumping up. With one leap, they were on the rooftops again.
However, since it was still light out, Sarah had to keep herself away from places that were easy for prying eyes, so she mostly stayed in the shadowed areas. If anyone actually saw them, it would have only been for a second or so, and that wasn't enough to prove anything.
But daylight was quickly fading into a dying fire, and though its glory was a splendid sight to many, it only made Sarah's heart drop.
For this day, it was not a welcomed sight.
Because the swirl of fire that lit the western sky foretold of the darkness and veil of stars that would soon enshroud this town. And Sarah knew very well, that her little "friends" were counting the moments till they could move freely through the streets.
'Not yet...not yet...please, give me more time! I have to get to Malik's place first. I have to get there. Please grant me more time.'
But Sarah's wishes could no more stop the sun from setting, then her glares keep it from rising.
The titan of the sky grew weary...so weary. It could no longer shed its light on this town. It began to sink even further into the horizon, and with it, Sarah's heart sank even lower.
They were close, but she needed to pick up the pace to make it to Malik's before the sun was completely gone.
They were so close, Sarah was sure it was only about fifteen minutes before she'd see her dear friend's shinning face, stuck in a book as usual.
And then, they could figure some more things out...and Yugi would be told exactly what was happening. There were a few things she hadn't told him yet...like what Malik said.
The sun dropped out of sight, but there was a faint light...it was still too bright for night. Sarah went even faster then before, hoping and praying to anyone hearing that she made it in time.
Still ten minutes to Malik's house...the light was burning away so quickly, and Sarah's hope began to fade. She wasn't going to make it in time...but, no Vampires could reach her that quickly...right?
Not a normal vamp, anyway. None of their hideaways were near Malik's house.
The light was gone. The aura of the sun had disappeared as the shadows greedily devoured the city, gleefully weaving their endless darkness.
Sarah's heart began to race as she bolted forward, knowing she couldn't go too fast for Yugi's sake. But now was the time when no one was safe...
Sarah suddenly froze in place, Yugi jerked back a bit and had to grip tightly to stay on. Something was definitely wrong. One minute Sarah was pushing herself harshly to run, and the next, she stopped like a deer caught in headlights.
A cackle drifted through the air maliciously.
"No...no...not him." Sarah muttered. Deep down, she was horrified. "Anybody but..."
'Check that, almost anyone. At least it isn't...' She shuttered before she even thought of him.
"Hello, Sarah...good to see you again..." A voice that sounded like insanity incarnate greeted them, however, the greeting was more of a taunt.
"Hello, Ribaru..." Sarah snarled. "I'd say that it was nice to see you too, just to be polite, but that's a degree of lying I don't feel comfortable with."
A gleeful cackle pierced the air again. "Heh...feisty little thing, aren't you, Sarah? But, then again, you always have been."
"I am not "little" nor am I a "thing", if you've come to fight me, then you're going to have to wait. I'm busy." She replied with a growl.
"Oh, but I'm afraid I'm a little impatient, and though I did come for a battle, I also spy that little tid-bit on your back which looks rather tasty...don't you agree?"
"Touch him and die, Marik."
"Cranky, aren't we?" Marik hissed lowly.
"Shut up and come fight me like a man...or where you really just a big cowardly rat, after all?" Sarah asked with a cocky tone that stung like fire.
She could almost feel his anger burning into his face.
'Reeeal smart, ya moron! You're trying to get out of fighting him, not make him mad! YOU IDIOT! You and your big mouth are going to get a good slamming one day...' A voice chided from the back of her mind.
But apparently, Sarah wasn't listening. Which was a rather bad thing, since high ranked vampires take pride and honor very seriously...and she was just about to cross a very thin line.
"Well? Come on, squeak up."
That did it. Out of the shadows, dropped a cloaked form. The cloak he wore was black and gold, and hood was deep purple. His platinum blonde hair spiked out all over his head crazily.
This was the one and only, Marik Kage Ribaru.
"You little brat...you've made your last taunt." He snarled.
"Oh, but I'm afraid that I haven't. You see, taunting you is so much fun...but I'll tell you what, I'll use big words next time so that you won't have your feelings hurt." Sarah said sweetly, as if explaining something to a child.
Marik snapped like a rabid dog chasing a squirrel, and Sarah instantly wished she had kept her mouth shut.
She leapt out of the way as quick as she could, and he didn't have time to catch her in his rage. Her eyes were wide, and she panted from fright. She had to set Yugi down, and fast.
She couldn't fight with him on her back, and even if she was skilled enough to do so, he might get hurt in the process. Besides, Marik had already established that he wanted a piece of Yugi...over her dead body! She'd sooner be werewolf chow.
She set him down in the safest place she could find. It was hidden in the shadows, but it gave him a full view of what was happening.
Now, all she had to do was watch Marik, not both of them.
Speak of the devil, she had to duck from a nasty blow Marik delivered with his own sword.
Though Marik wasn't as powerful as some of her foes, he was definitely not a push over. She might have to use some of her own hidden powers to defeat him...but it was the last thing she wanted to do.
Their swords met in a loud screeching "clang!" as the blades shone with moonlight. The silvery aura searching for fresh skin to dig into and crimson blood to spill.
Several terrible sounds of metal on metal rang through the once peaceful night, the wind howled its cheers for its favored fighter, though none could say which it was.
To Sarah, the world seemed to fade away. There was only her opponent, she had only one goal: To win.
Marik was in the same world. But of course, there was one other person in this blackness of a fight, the boy observing the battle from the shadows.
'Perhaps I can use him to my advantage...weak little Sarah, too much of a goodie-two-shoes for her own health. Pity...'
At that moment, Marik risked a dive at Yugi. Sarah saw it, and blocked it with the full force of her blade.
'I wish that cross necklace could help, but its power is just about completely gone. Besides, I don't know if it could hold Marik back, even at full strength.' Sarah thought despairingly, but outwardly she showed Marik a full out smirk.
"Naughty Marik...didn't your mommy ever teach you not to be so rude? I thought you wanted to play with me." A look of mock hurt on her face.
"Oh, believe me...we aren't done playing, my dear." Marik replied as smoothly as a psycho could.
Daggers shot through Sarah's dark eyes. Anger heated her face.
"Don't. You. EVER. Call me. DEAR!" And with the word "dear" she lunged at him with her sword, he blocked it with his own.
"Tsk, tsk...now, now. Don't play too rough or else I'll send you in a time out...permanently!" With that, the clangs, swishes, and bangs became louder, faster, deadlier.
Yugi saw the whole scene unfold in horror. It was awful to watch, every swing, every dodge, every dive, every leap.
One minute, Sarah had the upper hand. The next, it was Marik.
Sarah slashed Marik on his left arm as he moved his sword to block it, he tried a stab at her chest and she kicked his blade away.
It flew through the air for only a second, but he caught it. Sarah growled in frustration and lunged at him again to try another stab.
She expected him to be off guard, but he wasn't. He ducked and made a swipe at her legs, which made her jump suddenly, disorienting her.
She quickly made a nice come back by a rough sweep at his chest. He was thrown back to avoid the piercing blade. He sneered at her and then flashed a sickening smile that only someone like himself could do.
He jabbed at her right shoulder, making her duck again. Unfortunately she did so a bit late. The blade cut through her shoulder where he had pierced the cloak in a previous unsuccessful jab. It sliced her slightly, a pretty clean cut. It stung maddeningly and she winced in pain.
Would this have been a tournament battle, she would have congratulated him on such a nice move...but this was hardly the time or the place.
Sarah smelled her own blood hanging in the air thickly, her eyes burned in a fiery aura.
"Lucky strike. But I assure you...you won't get that lucky again, Ribaru!" She growled, spiting out his name like venom. It was obvious to the most oblivious idiot that these two didn't have the nicest past together.
"We shall see..." He replied and then licked his lips, "You know, your blood smells delicious..."
Sarah's eyes went wide as saucers and then narrowed. Only one sentence described her thoughts that was shown by them and it could be read loud and clear by Marik.
'You cannibalistic FREAK!'
He shrugged and grinned, "Well, it does..."
"Silence! Put up your sword, Baka. This is a battle, not a chitchat session over tea." Sarah barked.
With another struggle of blades, Sarah finally got a hit in when Marik spun to the side to avoid one of her stab. She only caught part of his hand, but it was enough to sting fiercely. Marik clutched the wound and hissed like a teakettle going crazy.
"Let's end this, Ribaru...!"
"Right after you, m'lady..." He mocked her, his beady dark lavender eyes gleaming.
With another great clash as loud at the waves of the sea, blade met blade. Clouds now covered the sky in a darkness that surrounded the battle, and in a fierce slash, both swords were knocked away. Sarah and Marik couldn't find either one, hard as their night mastered eyes looked.
Marik smirked. "You know there's only one way to finish this...the old fashioned way. No weapons, no blades, no spikes, just fang and claw."
Sarah smirked back. "I guess so...this'll be interesting."
Yugi watched as Sarah took off her black gloves and tossed them aside. She cracked her knuckles and set herself for an attack.
'What is she doing...?'
Sarah and Marik charged at each other once more, no need for weapons. Marik snapped at Sarah with his fangs, and Sarah hit him with a roundhouse style kick. Neither hit connected, but both seemed more agile without their swords...and much fiercer.
However, now that they were simply fighting with fists, and fangs...they were a lot more careful about the blows they dealt. They circled around like vultures...or more appropriately, panthers.
Indeed, with their silent steps and fierce aura, they looked a good deal like the great cats of the wild on the prowl.
Occasionally sending a strike the other's way to test a defense, or a reflex. But they had finally decided that they had had enough testing...they both sprang like lions, and clawed at the other with great force.
Every now and then, their reflexes were unable to keep up with the swift strokes of the other, and a nail would leave a bloody scratch, no more then a cat's but still enough to enrage the one that was hit by it.
A punch to Marik's stomach, a claw mark on Sarah's arm. Neither one showing any sign of slowing, in fact, if anything, it got faster and more intense with every second.
And just like before, both their fists locked as they pushed each other to win the grueling duel.
There was only one weapon left, and Sarah just barely beat Marik to it.
She set her jaw, fangs and all, and bit him as hard as she could on his arm. Nothing fatal like a big vein, but it was enough to send Marik howling like a werewolf.
"You little wench! I'll spare you this time, but I swear that next time I'll be back, with an army! And my master shall hear of this!" Marik screeched as he flew off into the black mist of night.
Sarah was exhausted after such a battle, blood dripped slightly from her mouth and she panted heavily.
Then, a noise from behind her shocked her into her senses. One sound made the whole world flood back like lightening.
A very soft gasp.
Sarah suddenly realized what she had done. Her fangs were fully exposed now, and Yugi had surely seen what she had done. He...knew.
Her eyes slowly shined with a slight layer of tears at the thought of what she knew was to come. But...hopefully he would allow her to get him to safety...
She blinked back her tears, swallowed hard, though the disgusting taste of blood in her mouth made her wish she hadn't, and turned to face a very shocked Yugi.
She let him see her for what she truly was...
"...S-Sarah...you're a...v-v..."
"Yes, Yugi...I...am a vampire."
Ooh...talk about a cliffhanger, ne?
V. Sarah: ...I'll say...WRITE MORE, DARNIT!
L.W.K: I will...maybeeeeeeeeeeee...I could use a little pick me up...like a, I dunno...review? Comment? Compliment?
V. Sarah: ...TELL HER WHAT YOU THOUGHT OR GET A FANG THROUGH YOUR NECK! I want to see what happens to me!
Notes of explanation:
1: -Smirk- What do YOU think dark red ooze reminds a vampire of, huh? Seriously, I don't think this calls for explanation, but I might as well put this note up anyway. -Chuckles- I'm so mean to poor Sarah....P
---
2: Yes. They had ice cream, even in the time line I'm going for. If you could tell, this is kind of back then, but not extremely far back. You see, it wouldn't be the same if it was in our modern times...and besides, they'd probably go after vampires with TANKS if it was in our time. So, I couldn't have that. It just...wouldn't be right with out the old alleys, the clock towers, the creepy setting, the blade battles, the crosses, the stone roads, the horses clopping around, all that. And MORE.
Conclusion: Yes, ice cream existed in that time-line too. And if it doesn't, too bad! P
---
3: I know...I'm going overboard with the whole ice cream thing...but, I love ice cream, okay?!?!?!?! THE SUGARY GOODNESS!
And I really like sugar obsession scenes. I know it seems a bit odd that I went on with food for a while, but it's kind of a day when Sarah's trying to give Yugi some time to recover from everything he's dealing with, and it's also to stall them. But of course, If I write it up in this chapter, you'll know the reason why I had to stall them for so long.
---
Side note: Geez...I wrote two notes about ice cream...I DO like that stuff...don't I?
---
4: Wow...I just thought of something. Sarah's mom in D.A. and C.S. both died early on in her life. I swear that it's just a coincidence. I really didn't think about that...I planned that this would happen, but it was her mom who died for a reason. It could just have easily been her dad, but there IS a reason. Sigh It's all part of my plot plan. As is everything.
---
That's all for now, I'm sure you're all tired after that 14 page chapter and if not, too bad! I AM. So, I'm stopping here.
LATER!
Marik: MUCH!
V. Sarah: DIE!
Yugi: EEK!
Bakura: STEAL!
Joey: WOOF! 'Why does she torture me?'
Seto: HA!
Joey: Grr!
Sarah: KATANA!
Malik: BOOKS!
Vampire dude: BLOOD!
Grandpa: CACKLE!
L.W.K: EVERYBODY SHUT UP! -- GEEZ...Lat...why do I even bother?
Sarah: I dunno...Well, bye everybody!
Everyone: Kay! BYE! -Leaves quietly and orderly-
L.W.K: How did you...?!
Sarah: Muwahahaha...R&R!
REVIEW REPLIES:
Fish and chips: Well, -grins- I guess you got your wish. I hope you enjoyed it.
Layla2008: Thank you, and you're welcome. I do as much as I can for my reviewers...after all, I might not have posted all my fictions without the encouragement of my friends and respected fellow writers...but I'm babbling again...sorry. -Sweatdrops- And thanks again.
