Chapter #5
The Duel and Other Me's
Shelby's P.O.V.
The next couple of days went on similar to the first but there were no more fights with Kaiba. I also met the boy called Tristin. Apparently according to Joey he's had the hots for me since the day he first saw me, and not to worry. He falls for every cute girl he sees. This included his sister Serenity.
I found Serenity to be one of the nicest girls I've ever met. She is so caring and full of love for everyone and everything around her.
Friday evening came around and I searched my wardrobe for something to wear to Yugi's duel tomorrow. I know it's just a duel but I dunno there is this part of me that kind of has a crush on him.
Finally I decided on an orange T-shirt that had a cute animated sun on it plus some tight faded blue denim caprees. I love dressing up in my own clothes, now that I have to wear a uniform at school. At my old school we didn't wear uniforms so now I have the chance to appreciate them.
Wanting to cease my boredom for awhile I grabbed a bottle out of a cupboard I kept in my room, plodded downstairs and made my way to the front porch.
When I got there I plopped down on the swinging chair and gazed at my surroundings, slowly rocking the chair. My eyes took in the still unfamiliar surroundings. Its gunna take awhile to get used to this place.
Still rocking I took out the bottle I had brought out with me. I slowly undid the lid and pulled out the wand. As I blew softly, glossy bubbles formed and grew, then detached themselves from the wand and floated off.
I don't know why but ever since I was little blowing bubbles and swinging on swing sets always had a calming affect on me. It helped to clear my mind so I could think properly.
I watched the bubbles dance as the crisp autumn breeze took them off, and as the rainbows glinted within them.
Normal P.O.V.
He knew this seemed wrong but he had been spying on Shelby for the past week that she had been here, and only noticing the strange power growing stronger.
Yami gazed at her through the bushes, silently rocking on the chair. Yugi was in spirit form beside him.
-This seems so wrong to me-
-Yes I know. But we need to find out more about her. The weird power she holds may have a connection to my past and unlocking my memories. Maybe she can help me-
Yami watched as Yugi sighed and melted back into him. (He was currently using Yugi's body) he turned his gaze back to Shelby who was now blowing bubbles.
She seemed to him like a princess. The bubbles dancing around her only adding to the affect. She was beautiful, her long perfectly straight, brown hair tucked behind her ears, swaying in the slight breeze. She was dressed in a frothy green pullover and dark navy blue jeans. She's perfect
Yami blushed at this thought, thanking the gods that Yugi couldn't see him or read his thoughts.
Shelby's P.O.V.
My thoughts turned to Yugi. It seems as though he has two personalities. That's what makes my crush so complicated. I only like one of his personalities as more than a friend.
One of them is a shy thoughtful side. The other is serious, and kinda mysterious. (A/N I no that that sounded lame because it rhymed but hey it does describe him)
I find myself falling for his serious side.
I chuckled to myself. Wow he always seems to be in my thoughts, or rather his other side. As my friends back in Canada would say "I've got it bad". My face heated up and when I looked down at my nose it had a thin line of pink running across it.
I smiled and blew some more bubbles. Slowly I turned my head up to look at the western part of the sky. The sunset was beautiful. The sun was sitting on a blood red strip of sky while above it lay a deep shade of purple. "The sunset is gorgeous tonight" I whispered to myself.
CRACK!
My head whipped around to some nearby bushes. Waiting a couple of seconds to see if some squirrel or something would come running out I called "is someone there?"
Yami's P.O.V.
In the light of the dying sun I saw her face turn a shade of pink.
I wonder what she's thinking aboutI watched as she turned her head to observe the sunset.
'the sunset is gorgeous tonight" I heard her whisper while silently thinking it's you who looks beautiful tonight. I guess I do like her. Yugi says it's a crush. So I have a crush on Shelby…
SNAP! Shit I stepped on a twig"Is someone there?"
As quickly and quietly as I could I scurried away.
Shelby's P.O.V.
Seeing and hearing no one I screwed the lid back on the bubble bottle and retreated indoors.
I stretched and yawned and I made my way back upstairs. Placing the bubble mixture back in its original place I changed into my PJs (baggy checkered pink bottoms and a plain white top that said in bubble letters 'kiss me you fool') and climbed into bed. No sooner had my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up early (which is weird cuz I like to sleep in) around 8. I couldn't get back to sleep so I gave up and rolled out of bed, walking towards the bathroom. I had a quick shower and dressed in the clothes I had picked out. I let my hair dry on its own so that it would dry curly. (Had to blow dry to get straight. Leaves to dry normally to get curls.) I smeared some pink lip-gloss and admired my handiwork in the mirror. I had put on a faint blush to give my pale cheeks some colour and had brown eyeliner and some mascara on.
Satisfied with my appearance I skipped downstairs to breakfast. My dad was waiting for me.
"Hey kiddo you're up early" he said smiling.
"Yes I couldn't sleep and please don't call me kiddo. You know it's embarrassing."
"Alright alright. I made omelets"
"Mm thanks dad" I grinned at him and walked to the table. While I was consuming (at a rather alarming rate I must say) the tall dark brunette asked where I was going today.
"Down to Domino Park. My friend Yugi's gunna teach me what duel monsters is like. He has a duel against some guy" I finished lamely shrugging my shoulders.
"Okay, remember to be careful. And have fun" he smiled waving as I hurriedly went through the door.
"Bye dad!"
Well I thought to myself as I made my way to Domino Park I have some time to kill…may as well look in some shops while I wait. So I headed to an area close to Domino Park that had some small clothing shops, that Tea had showed me the other day.
I walked into a little one called 'funked' wow cheesy name I rolled my eyes. Once I got into the shop though it didn't look like it was just going to be some shop with lame t-shirts that said 'Domino City' on them. You know like the usual tourist shops. My eyes immediately wandered over to a rack of jeans. They were pretty cool. One pair however attracted my attention. They were faded blue and they had red, jeweled butterflies on the bottom of one of the pant legs. On one of the butt pockets there was a small red butterfly sewn. they are so cute! I thought. I'll have to try them on. But my eye also caught a T-shirt rack. Once again I wandered over to it, rummaged around and then found the perfect T-shirt to go with the jeans. It was the same colour red as the jewels on the jeans and had a girl with butterfly wings sprouting from her shoulder blades. She was a fairy.
I ran into one of the change rooms to try the outfit on. I looked in the mirror and loved what I saw. "It's like they were made for me!" I squealed. I left the shop with a bag in my hands. That was a great buy I thought to myself. I looked down at my watch and saw that I had 5 minutes left before I had to meet Yugi and Joey. "Better get going' I muttered.
I made it to the park right on time. Panting a bit because I had to run most of the way so I wouldn't be late. "Hey guys" I waved and smiled cheerfully.
"Hey Shelbs" Joey greeted warmly. "Ready to go?"
"Yup"
'What's with da bags?"
"Um well I had some time on me so I did a bit of shopping around the stores"
"Okay let's go then" Yugi said glancing at his watch, not wanting to be late for the duel.
They led me to an old, abandoned warehouse. When we got inside I shivered. "It's cold in here" I whispered, not wanting to disturb the silence of the warehouse.
Joey walked up to me and put his jacket around my shoulders. "Thanks" I told him, snuggling into the warmth of the blue jacket.
"No prob"
"Hey is anyone here?" a voice called from the entrance.
"Tea is that you?" I called out into the darkness.
"Yup! Hey Shelby I'm glad you could come"
"Can we get some light in here?" Yugi asked.
"Coming right up" Tristin called from somewhere in the darkness.
Suddenly light flooded the warehouse. And Tea spotted my bags and squealed "someone's been shopping! What did you get?"
We giggled and talked about what I bought while the boys just sweatdropped seeing just how girly we were.
"Can we please get this duel started?"
I turned around to see where the cold voice had come from. My eyes saw a figure leaning against the wall in the corner. This must be Kira. I thought. Before I knew it Kira and Yugi were facing each other and shouting, "Let's duel". Something weird happened though. Yugi's serious side came out. Did his hair have gold streaks in it before? I thought.
Kira went first bringing out a weird Crocodile looking monster. Yugi placed a face down card and brought out a creature that looked like a wolf and a loin put together. They battled on and on until Kira was down to his last 500 points and Yugi still had 1500 left. "It's time to end this duel," Yugi shouted. Is it just me or is his voice deeper than before?
Yugi shouted "I play Dark Magician Girl In defense mode!" wait I thought I've seen her before…but where? I screwed up my eyes trying to concentrate on where I recognized her. Then my vision went fuzzy and figures started to appear. There she was! Flying beside a large red dragon with two mouths. And I was on the dragon's back.Suddenly the vision ended. What was that? Was that …a …memory? Only one word formed in my mind and that was… my thoughts were cut of by an explosion. I looked up and saw that Yugi had switched Dark magician girl from defense to attack mode, and attacked Kira with her. Kira was now lying on the ground with 0 life points. This means he won! "yeah go Yugi" I shouted and started cheering with the others.
The vision was forgotten for the moment. I was so happy for Yugi. He made winning that Duel look so easy!
"What's going on here?" a voice called from the entrance.
My whole body whipped around to look at the dark figure that had just entered the warehouse. One word escaped my lips as I saw him come striding forwards. "Kaiba"
"I'll have you know that this warehouse is Kaiba corp. property!"
"Don't worry we're leaving" Yugi said softly, from the spot where he had been dueling just moments before.
"Great he just had to show up" Joey muttered, probably a little louder than he should have.
"Joey get your dirty clothed punk ass out of here along with your friends before I sue!" he growled. (A/N wow Kaiba that was harsh:O you'll find out why he's acting so weird in another chappy)
"So now you have a problem with what I wear!" Joey yelled outraged.
"Oh you mean those dirty rags your wearing are clothes? Forgive me" the tall brunette smirked.
"That's it"
"What's it? And maybe while you're changing your stile you should wash all the bleach out of your hair and leave it white"
"It's naturally this colour!"
"Is that right?"
'That's right!"
I felt my blood begin to boil. My fists clenched. Suddenly something took hold of me and I was no longer in control.
Tea's P.O.V.
I was standing next to Yami and Tristin while watching the dispute between the two boys. I could see Shelby standing on the other side of the two boys. "Uh oh" I whispered slowly. Both boys looked at me and I pointed towards Shelby. "I think where going to see Shelby in action again" I said staring at her clenched fists and the fire in her eyes.
Shelby's P.O.V.
"Heres some common sense for you Wheeler. Take your friends and get out of here before someone gets hurt!" Kaiba yelled.
"Shut up!" I yelled
Everyone stopped and stared at me.
"Stop talking like your king of the frickin world!" I continued
Joey's and Tristin's mouths dropped open. Yugi had his serious side out and Tea sweatdropped remembering Yeelings crazy attitude was very similar to Shelby's.
I turned to face Yugi.
Yami's P.O.V.
She was staring at me. Was it?… she looked like she was asking permission to continue. I nodded not knowing what exactly she would do.
Shelby's P.O.V.
He nodded. Right I thought turning to Kaiba whose face was expressionless, and continued.
"You're making my ears bleed you bastard!"
I started to slowly walk up to him.
"Now here's some common sense for you. If I wore ribbons in my hair it wouldn't change who I am! If I had no piercings" I pointed to my double pierced ears. "It wouldn't mean I'm nice. And if my hair wasn't brown!" I was screaming at him now "it wouldn't stop me from kicking your ass!" finally I was standing right in front of him, glaring and whispered, but loud enough for everyone to hear "who do you think you are? Do you think your god?"
He said nothing, but glared at me.
I started yelling again. "What's the matter? Run out of things to say? Your not so high and mighty now are you!"
"That's enough from you!" he said in a deadly voice.
Standing on my tip toes I leaned towards him, put a finger to his lips, and said in a cute girly voice "oh have my words" paused for affect "made you angry?" I continued.
"That's it" he snarled and grabbed the collar of my shirt, and with the other hand grabbed my arm in a death grip. Everyone made movements to stop him but stopped when they saw the look on my face.
I looked at him amused and said coldly "get your hands off of me"
"And what if I don't?" something had changed about him. His eyes were different…
"Then" I whispered clenching my fist "I'll have to do this"
My free fist connected with his jaw and he let go of me falling to the floor.
"Like I said don't touch me"
Tea came forward and looked like she had been crying. "Oh my god are you okay? That was so scary I've never seen him like that before." She sobbed.
She collapsed into my arms "shhh" I soothed hoping to calm her. "It's okay it's all over".
I looked up at Yugi. He looked worried, and came up to me. "Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine"
"Whoa Shelby he's out cold!" Joey said "where'd you learn to punch like that?"
"He deserved it though. I don't know what got into him, I mean he looked like he was really gunna hurt her" Tristin said.
Tea let go of me and sniffed. "Shelby? Are you okay? You're shaking"
I felt the thing let go of me I'm back in control. It let go of me finally…I could have really hurt him!
"Shelbs?" they were all around me
"I…I couldn't control it" I gasped tears flowing down my face, and I fell to the floor.
"Control what?" Yugi asked, looking afraid of what he might hear.
"I couldn't control it" I screamed. "I couldn't control…the other… me" I whispered choking on my tears.
A/N well that was a long one. LOL o hope you enjoyed the chappy! Please R&R
