I'm very proud to present my second story on the Yu-Gi-Oh! section of fanfiction. I might not write anymore after a couple more of these so I'll work my hardest. I'm trying to make my chapters longer and I'll make sure to edit them so there aren't any spelling mistakes. Please enjoy my new story!
Wait! Before you read, listen up! I've decided to make Yami and Yuugi twin brothers because it's kind of hard to do the mind conversations between the two.
The Wish Bracelet
Written by: lightinshadows
When Serenity finds a "magical" bracelet at the shop that Isis owns, she makes a simple, harmless wish that she thought wouldn't mean anything. How wrong can she be? With two idiots trying to win her heart and a certain C.E.O she is now crushing on...could her wish possibly come true?
Pairings: Seto x Serenity. Joey x Mai, Anzu x Yami, Mokuba x Rebecca (slight)
Chapter One
The Bracelet
Serenity Wheeler had never seen the Domino Mall as full as it was today. Trying to walk around her favorites stores was almost impossible and the lines…it was amazing. Attempting to walk through the mall? She could barely walk two inches without her elbow hitting someone or almost tripping over a stray foot.
Luckily for Serenity, she had her friends along with her. With her was her Mai Valentine, one of her closet friends and…the girl her brother had a humongous crush on. How did she find out that little piece of info? One, her brother's diary (he always leaves it right out in the open) and two, it was so obvious that she wasn't even sure how Mai could miss it. The girl could see why Joey would like her. Mai had long, wavy, blonde hair and large, violet eyes. She was usually seen wearing short skirts, busty tops, and high boots. Serenity really admired Mai.
Her other friend was Anzu Mazaki. The two had become very close since Serenity became part of Joey's group of friends. Anzu had short brown hair and the prettiest blue eyes. She had a body like Mai's but sportier (in a way). Today she wore a light blue tang top and a white skirt, with black boots on and a golden necklace around her neck.
"Get out of the way!" yelled Mai to a group of girls just standing around in the middle of the path.
The girls gave Mai a look of disdain, who returned it with a look of pure hatred. The girls squealed and walked away, quickly. Anzu snorted and Serenity giggled. "You're so cool, Mai," the auburn-haired girl commented.
Anzu laughed and said, "No, she's not. She's just really bossy."
Earning a slap from the blonde, the three continued to walk throughout the mall. When they stopped to get ice cream, Mai said, "Oh look! It's the gang!"
Serenity turned to see Joey jogging over to where they stood in line. Looking around him she saw her other friends, Tristan and Duke. Farther behind was Yami who was walking nonchalantly next to his twin, Yuugi.
To describe her brother in a few words, Serenity would say: funny, caring, determined, and courageous and…a bit of an idiot. Knowing that she had inherited the brain gene, she acknowledged that her brother wasn't the brightest color in the crayon box. He was everything else, though. He had shaggy blonde hair and warm, chocolate brown eyes that always had a sparkle of adventure in them. "Hey sis!" he cried, smiling down at her when he reached them.
"Hey! Why are you guys here? I thought you said you had important stuff to do," Serenity said, giving her brother a questioning look.
The blonde boy nodded and said, "I was! I'm looking for a…present!"
Smirking, Mai asked, "For who?"
Joey smiled and said, "Someone very special."
Anzu put her finger on her chin and pretended to think. She knew about the crush Joey had on Mai. "Well, Mother's Day was last week, Valentine's Day was three months ago. I don't know who it could be! Are you getting them a Memorial Day present (A/N: I don't think they have this holiday in Japan…but now they do!)?"
Just as Joey was about to reply, Tristan slung an arm around his friend's shoulders and said, "That, my dear Anzu, is a secret."
The older boy smiled down at Serenity who smiled up at him. Tristan was Joey's oldest friend. Serenity remembered her brother talking about him all the time in the letters and telephone calls they had sent to each other. Tristan had brown hair that was like a slanted spike, the girl admitted that she certainly didn't like it but…what would he look like it wasn't like that? He had dark brown eyes and was taller than her brother. "Next!" the ice cream man called.
"That's us!" Mai said and rushed towards the man. "I would like to get one cookie dough, one swirl (chocolate/vanilla), and one…"Mai looked over at Serenity expectantly.
"Oh! Just strawberry!"
Duke walked over while they were waiting. He immediately walked over to where Serenity stood and smiled down at her. "Hey Serenity. How's it going?"
Duke was a new addition to the gang like she was. He had spiky black hair that was held up by a red and black headband (thingy). He had large, green eyes and had a dice hanging from his ear. She replied, "Just fine."
"Hey Yami and Yuugi," Anzu said.
Yuugi and Yami were twins. Yami was slightly taller than his younger brother, but not by much. They both had star shaped hair that was red around the edges and black everywhere else. They also had blonde colored bangs; Yami's were straighter while Yuugi's were messy. Yami had eyes that were a darker red while Yuugi's were violet-magenta. They usually were seen wearing almost the exact same thing, with slight alterations of course. Yuugi shyly waved while Yami nodded at everyone else.
"Girls! Come get your ice cream!" Mai called.
As Serenity walked over, she saw a store that looked very familiar. When she got her strawberry cone, she realized what store it was. "Anzu," she asked, "Isn't that the store Isis and Marik work at?"
The older girl nodded. "Yup! Let's go visit?"
"Do you think they allow food in there?"
------
The store was called, "The Egyptian Moon". Isis father had opened the store a couple of months before and it had a lot of customers, surprisingly. Well, Serenity thought it was surprising. She wasn't a very superstitious person in the least.
The shop carried items like amulets, stones, incense, and other mystical things like that. They had witchcraft kits and different candles. The store even carried voodoo dolls. Once, when Serenity, Yuugi, Yami, and Joey had dropped by to see Marik, Joey saw the voodoo kit. He had the weirdest grin on his face and he almost bought it. He was stopped by Yami who told him sternly, "You cannot create a voodoo doll that looks like Kaiba."
Yuugi and Serenity laughed as Joey made a whining noise and sadly put the box back on the shelf.
The girl really didn't understand the rivalry between her brother and Kaiba. Yes, Kaiba. THE Seto Kaiba. Voted hottest multi-millionaire in the world three years running. The few times she had seen the boy in person where extremely short and usually ended with her brother face red in anger, Tristan and Anzu holding him back from charging at the C.E.O. who was laughing at him.
From what she speculated, Seto Kaiba was a complete jerk to her brother. Joey had told her countless times not to ever talk to the guy, which she wouldn't be able to anyway since she never even saw him unless she was with the group.
Back to the store, Serenity was walking around with a look of curiosity in her chocolate brown eyes. Turning, she almost walked head first into Isis. "Sorry!" Serenity cried, "I wasn't paying attention."
The older girl smiled down at her and replied, "No worries. I kind of snuck up behind you anyway."
Isis had long black hair and dark colored skin. She had large, dark blue eyes and a kind, but stern smile on her face. She always wore long dresses and an amulet around her neck. Serenity always thought she was very regal looking. "Nah. My bad," Serenity insisted.
Isis only nodded and then said, "Were you looking for anything in particular?"
"Nope. I'm just looking."
"I think I have something that you would want."
"Really?"
Isis walked away leaving Serenity alone. Tristan walked over, holding a magic eight ball in his hand. "What's up Serenity?"
Startled, she said, "Oh Tristan! I didn't even notice you were there! Everyone seems to be sneaking up on me lately."
"Ha. Really?" Tristan commented. He quickly looked around, making sure there weren't any people around before slowly inch his arm around Serenity. The girl hadn't taken noticed of the arm slowly slinking around her since she was telling him about what just happened with Isis.
Just as he was about to touch her waist and pull her towards himself when he heard Isis call, "Serenity, are you still there?"
"Oh yeah!" She replied. "Tristan?"
Tristan, when he heard Isis, had immediately jumped into the rack of Egyptian silks and kimonos. Serenity looked around, confused. "Tristan?" she called out again.
"Looking for someone?" asked Isis.
"Well, Tristan was here a second ago, but whatever. What is it that you had to show me?"
Isis held open a velvet blue case. "I think you'll find this interesting."
The auburn-haired girl gave Isis a questioning look before reaching for the box. She opened it up and was surprised to see a bracelet in side. It was quite simple looking. It was weaved with thick string with real pink and red stones woven into the bracelet. "What is it?"
"It thought it was pretty obvious. A bracelet."
"I know that," Serenity said, laughing, "I mean, what's so special about it?"
Isis replied, "A simple charm bracelet. You make a wish and when the bracelet comes off, your wish comes true."
Serenity resisted the urge to snort. That couldn't really happen. She had made plenty of wishes before and not one had come true. "Why are you giving this to me?" asked the girl. Though she didn't believe in the wishing business, it was still a very pretty bracelet.
The black haired girl simply smiled and replied, "I have this feeling that you needed something."
Silent, Serenity quickly pulled out her wallet from her purse. She was about to leaf through the money when a tan colored hand stopped her. It, of course, was Isis's. The older girl shook her head, still smiling that kind, all-knowing smile. "It's yours for free."
Chocolate eyes widened. Was she serious? It was just a bracelet…Serenity looked down at the box in her hand. Actually, Isis's feelings usually (well, always) right. Maybe she did need this bracelet. "Okay. Thank you so much."
"Serenity! Let's go! We're going home!" her brother called.
Looking back at where Isis had been standing, she saw that her friend and disappeared further into the shop where she was sorting candles. A gentle, thankful smile spread across Serenity's face before running over to where the gang waited for her.
------
Later that night, Serenity was getting ready for bed. It was a school day the next day and she had a test in Geometry Honors second period. She wanted to be well rested. She plopped down onto her bed, wearing her favorite pink pajamas. "Good night Joey!" she called.
"Night, Serenity!" was the reply from down the hall.
Turning to her bedside table where her lamp was, she was about to turn it off when something caught her eye. It was the velvet box. Sighing, she sat back up and reached for it. Opening it, she stared down at the beautiful bracelet. Isis words pounded through her mind. Should she really make a wish?
"Well, if I do," Serenity said, talking aloud to herself, "it must be something that will never ever happen, no matter what. Something impossible. But what?"
Thinking for a little while longer, she felt a light bulb go off in her mind. Smirking she said, "I wish that I could find…my one true love."
She giggled to herself as she tied the bracelet around her wrist. It sure was pretty. Serenity turned off the bedside lamp and closed her eyes, falling a sleep in matter if minutes. The girl didn't know it, but as she slept away, dreaming, the magic of the bracelet was already working its magic.
If any of you are Naruto fans, you should watch some AMV's on Quizilla. Flippin' sweet!
Well, that's all for chapter one! I haven't really had the time to edit like I said I did so if there are any huge mistakes that need to be changed. Just tell me and I'll change them! Please review.
