Chapter 6: Meet Ruby
Mokuba and Joey walked passed the sign as they looked at the surroundings around them. Joey spotted a woman walking towards them as he stood up straight as far as he can, crossed his arms, and made an angry look on his face.
"Oh Mokuba you came," said the woman as she stopped in front of him while looking down at him.
She was wearing a flower colored blouse and blue jeans. Her hair was in a tight bun a few brown colored strands framed her face and her eyes were a greenish color.
"Oh course I did and my brother is here too," he smiled as he pointed at his 'brother.'
The woman looked up towards Joey's direction, "I can see that. Good evening Mr. Kaiba." Joey just gave her a brief nod. "Not much of a talker, now are you?" the woman asked.
"Of course not..." he replied as he shown a light squeak as he spoke.
The woman and Mokuba looked at each other.
"Mister Kaiba is everything ok with your voice?" she asked worriedly.
Joey paled a bit, 'Ah, crap what was I suppose to say again? "Of... course I'm fine. My voice is like dis... I mean like this because I've been yelling at my workers this whole day," he replied with a swift nod of approval with his hands placed on his hips.
The woman just gave him a weary smile, while Mokuba just slapped his forehead.
'He wasn't supposed to say that...' Mokuba thought.
- Flashback -
"Ok Joey, let's start with the simple words shall we," said Mokuba as he looked over at him in the limo.
"Okay..."
"All right... say 'this,'"
"Dis..."
"This."
"Dis."
"'This,' Joey."
"Dis..."
"Arrggg!!!" Mokuba cried in frustration.
Joey just blinked at him as he placed his hands on either side of him. They spent the whole car ride just pronouncing words like 'to,' 'do,' 'that,' and etc. So far Joey could be able to say them right, but a little slowly when he talked.
"Here's the plan Joey," announced Mokuba as he rubbed his temples and calming himself down, "when someone asks about your voice being like that, I want you to say 'I have a cold,' nothing else, ok?"
Joey gave him a glare, "Eh... It's not my fault I have an accent and Kaiba doesn't, but I got it," he replied with those three last words with a wink and an 'ok' sign with his left hand.
'I just hope he remembers,' Mokuba thought.
- End Flashback -
'I can't believe he forgot!' Mokuba thought as he fumed silently.
"Well... it's nice to meet you Mr. Kaiba," she said with a smile as she turned and began to walk away.
"Right back at ya!" he replied with a grin.
Mokuba slapped his forehead once again, while the woman just stopped in her tracks, shook her, and walked off again.
Joey's grin faded as a look of relief shown on his face, "Man, I thought she'd neva leave," he said with a sigh as he slouched back 'down.'
Mokuba just stared at him, "Hey Joey how come she never asked you about your height?"
Joey gave a smirk as he looked down at him, "It's all in da toes," he replied with a victory sign.
"You mean to tell me that you were just tip-toeing, Joey? Don't you think you'll lose most of your energy when doing that?" he asked.
Joey crossed his arms, "Dat's when Plan B comes in ta action."
The bushy haired boy gave him a look, "I'm guessing your plan has to do with standing on a chair or table, am I right?"
Joey looked away slightly, "Aww, man!" he cried out. "Nothin' seems ta go through you now does it?" he asked as he looked at him.
Mokuba smiled, "Nope! Hey where are you going?"
"I'm starvin'!" he exclaimed as he began to walk off with Mokuba trailing behind him. "Actin' like Kaiba and doin' all those preparations has been making me hungry. I feel as though I haven't eaten for a whole day," he ranted as he stomped off to the nearest food table.
Mokuba sweat-dropped at his words.
"By the way Joey, I can't believe you said those words to Mrs. Kinya," he said with a frown.
Joey stopped walking as he turned around with an eyebrow raised, "What did I say to her and whose Mrs. Kinya?" he asked sheepishly.
"Mrs. Kinya's my teacher she's the woman that you were talking to."
"Ok... and what did I say ta her again?"
Mokuba sweat-dropped, "Don't you remember? When she asked about your voice you said and I quote, 'I've been yelling at my workers this whole day.'" He replied as he mimicked his voice and action.
Joey just gave him a grin, "It was good wasn't it?"
Mokuba anime-fell then jumped back up as exclaimed, "No it wasn't! Joey you were suppose to say that 'you have a cold,' don't you remember?" he asked.
The brunette placed a hand behind his head, "Ha ha... guess I forgot..."
The boy just ran a hand down his face, "Joey... you-"he said, but was abruptly cut off.
"MOKUBA!!!"
Mokuba looked around when he heard his name being called out. That's when he spotted a girl running towards him.
"Hey Ruby!" he exclaimed as she ran towards him.
'Ruby...' Joey thought.
The girl named Ruby stopped right in front of them slouching down with her hands on her knees trying to regain her breathing while Mokuba and Joey looked at her.
"Hi Mokuba!" she exclaimed as she looked right back up standing up right.
The grayish eyed boy beamed at her then took in her dressing attire while blinking. She was wearing a long white shirt with a belt over the top around her waist, black boots just under her knees with her pants tucked into them. Her dark brown hair reached passed down her shoulders while a golden colored earring poked out of the side giving a curly appearance when being shown. Her green eyes where slightly sparkling with happiness with a tint of a yellow colored ring around her green colored eyes. To top it all off she wore a red bandana on her forehead her bangs slightly covering them.
"What's up," she asked.
"Nothing much, you?"
"Same..."
"What's with the outfit?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.
"You like it? Since today's one of those days to come out in the open air; why not wear something different that you can be able to stand out, huh?" she cheerfully replied.
Mokuba just nodded his head as he silently agreed with her. Joey just stood there gawking at her outfit as if he had never seen anyone wear something so creative.
'Maybe I should do dat... nah,' he thought while shaking his head mentally.
The girl named Ruby turned her gaze to the person behind Mokuba as she pointed straight at him with a finger.
"You must be Kaiba, Mokuba's older brother right?" she asked.
Joey blinked, "Yeah..." he blinked again then with a confidence look crossed his face, "Yes, yes I am and you are?" he asked as he tried his hardest to mimic Kaiba's voice once again.
She gave him a weird look, but shook her head as if she had heard something wrong.
"The names Ruby," she replied while pointing at herself, "I'm Mokuba's friend and protector."
Mokuba gave her a glare, "Hey! You're not my protector! As you may know I can take care of myself," he replied as he turned around and decided to walk off only to trip and fall right on his face. (Yoku: I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. Mokuba: Meanie!)
"You can take care of yourself huh..." she replied as she squatted beside him.
Mokuba just grumbled angrily at himself for making a fool of himself. Joey just looked at the scene trying his hardest not to laugh while covering his mouth.
'Poor Mokuba... oh well...' he thought evilly.
Just then a squawk was heard from a distance then it came close to where the three was at. From out a nowhere a colored looking bird came swooping down and landed on Ruby's left shoulder. Mokuba, who stood back up, looked at her shoulder along with Joey.
"Why's there a bird on your shoulder and why is it here, I mean it's a parrot, shouldn't it be in the tropics or something?" Mokuba asked as he pointed at the bird.
"Well if you must know Mokuba, Tori (1) is my pet parrot. I taught him all sorts of tricks and he can never get lost just like last time," she beamed.
Mokuba blinked, "What happened last time?"
She just waved her hand in front of her, "It's nothing big..."
- Flashback -
"Tori! Tori! Where the heck is that bird," she murmured with her hands placed on her hips while looking around the room.
She gave out a sigh as she began her search once again while calling out her pet's name.
"Is something wrong Ruby?" her mother asked as she popped her head out the kitchen doorway.
"Hey mom... I can't find Tori... Have you seen him?" the brunette asked while looking at her mother.
"Not since this morning," she responded.
"Okay, thanks though..."
"No problem dear..."
Ruby went back into searching mode as she went back into each room.
5 minutes later
"My God!!! Where is that bird!!!" she exclaimed as she flopped down on the sofa.
Her face was covered with the throw pillows that were provided on the couch her hair spilled around her. Her mom seemed to pass by with a load of laundry as she looked at her worriedly.
"Couldn't find him?" she asked with a basket of dirty clothes in her arms.
"Mmmhhrrm..."
"I'll take that as a 'no'. Don't worry you'll find him," she said.
She turned and began to walk off until another thought struck her, "Oh and Ruby... I picked up your clothes that you threw around your room and I placed them in this basket to get washed okay?"
"Mmmhhrm..."
"And I'll take that as a 'yes'," she replied with a sweat-drop then proceeded to head over to the laundry room located somewhere in the house.
10 seconds later
"Ahhh!!!"
Ruby's head shoot up when she heard her mother scream followed by a familiar squawk. She jumped up from her position and ran to where she heard the shouts. In the room she saw her mother clutching onto her chest with wide-eyes and Tori perched on one of the cabinets far from where the washer was located.
"Tori! I was looking all over for you!" she exclaimed as she tried her hardest to reach for the bird.
- End Flashback -
"He was in your laundry basket!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"Yeah..." she replied sheepishly, "I guess he was trapped with the clothes I threw around the room."
"Why were you throwing your clothes?" he asked.
"I was looking for something," she replied as she placed a hand behind her head.
Mokuba sweat-dropped.
"Hey where did your bother go?" she asked as she placed her arm back by her side.
Mokuba looked behind him to see nothing, but air and some other things the park provided.
'Oh no!' Mokuba thought as he began to panic. "We should go find him, come on," he said as he motioned her to come along.

Joey looked around from where he stood then squatted down munching on cheesy puffs that he snagged off one of the picnic tables. The blue eyed boy had his back behind a tree with the shade cooling him off. Just then he heard a voice.
"Joey! Is that you?!"

Yoku: Ohhh, cliffhanger... Well what do you think? I hope you all like! Also to Master Ruby I'm sorry if I made you OOC if you never and I mean never acted like this. Anyways, I decided to have those who want to be in my story have their own chapter and their own flashback. I'm so nice ain't I?
Joey: No you're not.
Yoku: Watch yourself Seto! (glare)
Joey: I'm not Moneybags!!!
Yoku: Yeah, uh huh... Anyways to shutupandlisten17, I was wondering if you could write out a name that you want to be called in this story because I so want to write you in. I don't wanna call you no name, but if you can't think of any, I'd be more than happy to think of a name for you. Also can you write in your review what type of clothes you would like to wear and your personality for me? That would be great.
Mokuba: Don't forget the other reviewer.
Yoku: Oh yeah... This is for KatrinaKaiba, I was wondering if you could write out if you wanted to be Mokuba's friend or one of Seto's fan girl. Also can you write out your personality for me as well? And don't worry about the clothes I'll think of something cool for you to wear.
Mokuba: We should end this.
Yoku: I guess... please review! It'll be great if you did. Also in the next chapter you get to meet one of Seto's fan girl right here off of this very site, her screen name BobGod! You could still ask if you want to be in my story as well okay. Oh and I know in the last chapter I wrote that there would be games and all that other cool things, but I decided not to. Knowing that one of the fan girls would star in it, but not in the next chapter... well maybe, I'm still deciding.
Joey: Yeah, yeah, enough talking already. Please review, can we go now? (he asked as he looked over at me)
Yoku: Uh... yeah, go ahead. Bye! See you all in the next chapter! (about to leave) Opps I forgot, here are some notes that you need to read well if you want to.
Notes:
1. Tori means bird in Japanese (Yoku: Cool parrot name I do say so myself. Sorry I couldn't think of a good name for the bird)
