Seta Kaibelle?
Chapter 2: How Pretty
Kaiba was pissed.
All week he had been through nothing but chaos. One of his investments was going down, a sky dome he was building in Bengie city was being put off another 3 months, and to top it all off, he was constantly being tormented by practically all the Domino High girls. They kept asking to go to the dance with him. Of course he said no. He was above their level. Rich High classmen as himself should never be out with riffraff like petty cheerleaders. They were all like the dirt under his feet.
He had had enough. He swore that if one more girl asked him to the dance, he would explode. That was a promise, and he never broke his promises.
Lieha needed a walk. She needed to think this through. She still didn't know anything about Kaiba, and the dance was in two days. Lieha was getting desperate, it was now or never.
The young girl started heading towards Kaiba's house/mansion. Lieha was still thinking things through as she walked towards her destination.
"Damn! The streets are too noisy; I can't even hear myself think."
Lieha took a turn down a tiny street with practically nobody on it. It would take her 10 minutes longer to get to Kaiba's house, but she wouldn't mind the extra time.
Lieha started to notice the different shops along the road. She had never heard of any of them, and most of them were on the side of the street. She walked by one roadside store that was covered in beautiful scarves. Who knew, maybe Seto liked erotic things.
She paid for a green and yellow one, when she heard a racket coming down from the street. Lieha turned to meet the noise.
"Help, help." Someone cried. It was an old woman.
Lieha noticed a man running down the street towards her carrying a bag of money. The guy probably stole the old lady's money. Lieha frowned. This wasn't rite, no one was helping her.
Lieha couldn't ignore the awful deed so she put her foot out.
The running man tripped on her suspended foot and crashed into a bunch of old crates. Oh, no! What have I done! She thought.
The man was staring daggers at Lieha and was about to lounge at her, when he heard sirens in the distance. A look of fear crossed the man's face at the sound and he quickly skittered down an alley, leaving the bag of money behind.
Little did he know, the sirens were from an ambulance rushing to an on fire apartment.
"Oh, thank you my dear child!" A voice cried from behind Lieha.
"What!" Lieha said turning around almost in a daze. She had forgotten all about the old woman.
"My hero." The lady cried hugging Lieha tightly. "Oh, if there is anything I could to repay you, anything at all, please, ask."
"Oh, uhhhhh… no it's OK. Just doin my job." What a lame comment. She wasn't a cop.
"But I insist." The lady urged. "Here, I know, I'll give you this." The old woman took out a battered, old wooden box.
"Wow, you…shouldn't have?"Lieha eyed the old box carefully. It was very old and had no value to it that she could see.
"It's not the outside that counts, it's the inside." The lady said giggling. "Keep it safe, it will grant you one wish."
"Gee, thanks but I really don't"-Lieha looked up at the lady only to find that she had gone. "Weird." She mumbled.
Lieha fingered the box a little when she noticed some old rusty hinges. Slowly Lieha opened the box.
"Oh, how pretty." Inside the box was a necklace with one charm on it. The chain of the necklace was a silvery red and was made of tiny links to make it seem like a single piece of string. The charm on the necklace was a single flat circle with what seemed to be a half star melted into it. "Well the old lady sure had good taste, even with bad wrapping skills."
Lieha hung the necklace around her neck and started off once again to Seto Kaiba's house.
