Kitty: WHAAAZZUUUP?!? Welcome to chapter two of GII! In which Riyo and Andraaia
actually have
LINES! And I got a word program with spell check. Rah. And sorry this is so
late.
Seto: *snorts*
Kitty: -__- Har har. Anyways, HUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to Kurry, she knows why.
(Well by the time I update this she'll probably have forgotten XD)
Disclaimer: FOR THE 50000000000TH time, I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH!
(I also stole the add water to the soup joke later on from the fic Bakura versus
The Soup, by Kiwi Smoothy. Hilarious, you should read it.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There was a loud explosion from outside. The sword forgotten, everyone ran
upstairs... and sweatdropped. The explosion had been the washing machine blowing
a fuse, and it had sent up a mighty geyser of bubbles. "SHIT" shouted Joey and
Bakura, whose turn it had been to do laundry.
Bakura dived into the sea of bubbles to try and shut the lid, and Joey went
around to try and unplug the machine. There was another loud BANG as a lid
slammed.
However the machine began shaking as the pressure built up. Just as the lid was
about to burst-
Joey unplugged the machine.
"Wow, that was anti-climactic -__-" said Yami.
Suddenly Seto gave a shout. "Hey guys... I read in the newspaper there's the
grand opening of a hot spring tonight.. I can get us private rooms" he grinned.
"You mean a girls side and a guys, RIGHT?" asked Kitty, raising an eyebrow. "You
are such a hentai" grumbled Seto.
"I take after you" she grinned. Serenity giggled and Seto anime fell. Ryou
laughed and hugged
Kitty. "Well, I don't mind" he grinned. "NOW who's the hentai?" asked Chrono.
"You" said Dragoness, grinning.
About an hour later, they all went for a walk. However, over what no one had
heard, but Seto and Kitty got into a fight. And it must have been a doozy from
what Seto did next. "YEAH?
Well maybe you SHOULDNT have come back!" he shouted and turned and stalked off.
For a moment a look of pure shock and hurt came over Kitty's face, but it
quickly switched to anger. She stalked right after Kaiba, and tapped him on the
shoulder. He turned...
And Kitty promptly slapped him across the face so hard he fell over, and then
opened her wings and took off. A few people on the street who had been watching
the fight laughed and kept walking. Seto stood, touched his cheek, which now was
red, and growled and stalked off.
"Ummm... Line? Is there a teleprompter? Did I miss something?" questioned Yami.
Later on, they went back to Kaiba's. Neither of the two brunettes had returned
as of yet.
"What do you think could've happened to make Seto say something like that?"
worried Serenity.
"I dunno, but it must've been big" said Riyo. (SEE! LINE!) "Kurry, you can sense
Kitty, can't you?" questioned Malik. "Yeah, hang on" said Kurry as she closed
her eyes and glowed blue. She opened her eyes. "I knew it" grinned Kurry who
then took off.
~*~With Seto~*~
+I can't believe I was so stubborn. I should never have said that, Kitty's
emotions are in an unstable state as is. I started the whole damn thing, too. I
had to bite her head off over a stupid question! I'm a jerk. Jerkity jerk jerk.
That song 'You Jerk' is based on me. + He started to hum it absently to himself.
Then began singing it softly. "You jerk, you jerk, you are such a jerk, there
are other words, but they just don't work...." he couldn't take it anymore.
He began banging his head on a tree. "I...AM...SUCH...A.... FUCKING...ASSHOLE! I
can't believe id do something like that to my best friend! She's practically
FAMILLY! Damnit damnit DAMNIT! I deserve to be shot!" he shouted, banging his
head as he went.
"Yes, yes you do. But apology accepted"
".... She's right behind me, isn't she?"
"Oh yeah. I can sense a guilty subconscious from miles away, and honey, yours I
could've sensed from New Zealand."
"Listen- Kitty, im sorry. This was my fault. I shouldn't have snapped at you,
I'm such a jerk!" said Seto. "So you've thought." grinned Kitty. Seto blinked.
"You read minds?" he asked. "Rarely. Takes a lotta energy." said Kitty. "Are you
okay to get home?" asked Seto.
"Yeah im fine, I can just walk- AHH!" shouted Kitty as she tripped over a log.
"My, that was graceful of me" groaned Kitty. "Are you alright?" asked Seto,
raising an eyebrow.
"Fine, just a scratch- GAH!" Kitty stood and promptly fell over. "Umm... I think
I might've hurt my ankle a little" said Kitty. Seto blinked. "Wait... Let me see
your ankle- oh dear ra,
Kitty, your ankle's turned PURPLE." said Seto. "Ewww" said Kitty. "I can't tell
if it's broken or not... does this hurt?"
"No"
"This?"
"No"
"This?"
"YEEEEEEEE-----OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"
"It's just a sprain" grinned Seto. "The hot spring tonight will do it a world
of good" he finished. "Well that's great, but how do we get home? I'm to tired
to fly from the mind reading, and now I can't walk!" said Kitty, as she pulled
her self up onto a log. "Relax, there's a
Kaiba corp limo about six blocks from here" said Seto. "We still have to walk,
Seto" said Kitty. Seto picked her up. "Gah! Hey! Seto!" protested Kitty. "I can
walk fine, I'll carry you" said Seto. "But-I- oh fine" said Kitty. They had
gone four blocks, when Seto nearly ran into a telephone pole when he turned to
look at a computer in a window.
"Oh that was good" cracked Kitty. "Oh yeah?" grinned Seto. He promptly threw
Kitty over his shoulder. "HEY" shouted Kitty. "If you're gonna be a smart ass,
you can stay like that" grinned
Seto.
"You two are shameless" laughed a voice from beside them. Kurry had flown up.
"Why thank you" said both. "Kurry! Make him put me down!" giggled Kitty. "Naw.
Id rather film this" grinned Kurry as she whipped out a video camera. "You suck"
pouted Kitty.
Kurry stuck out her tongue. Seto laughed. Kurry sent the message of general
okayingness to
Andraaia telepathically. "So why are you carrying her anyways?" asked Kurry.
"She hurt her ankle" said Seto. "Shuttup" said Kitty. Kurry looked at Kitty's
ankle.
"Great scott, it's purple" said Kurry. "Brilliant observation, Sherlock" said
Kitty.
"What'd you do, drop a rock on it?" asked Kurry. "No, she tripped over a log"
said Seto.
"The almighty Kitty struck down by clumsiness. "Heehee" said Kurry.
"Remind me to put chlorine in your shampoo -___-" said Kitty. "Gah! No! Chlorine
makes my hair turn green!" protested Kurry. "This has happened before?" asked
Seto, raising an eyebrow.
"I still have the pictures" giggled Kitty. "Id shut up if I were you, reindeer
breath" glared Kurry. "Shutting up" said Kitty. They got to the limo, Seto and
Kurry in front and Kitty lying in the back to rest her ankle. "What do you mean
by reindeer breath?" asked
Seto. "Christmas play we had not long before Kitty and I originally came. Kitty
was a reindeer, and had to wear a tight black shirt, brown tights, dress
sandals, and a brown mini skirt, along with antlers that had blinking lights. I
have pictures" giggled Kurry. "Can I see?" grinned Seto.
"Not unless you want those bunny pajama pics all over the internet" said Kitty.
"You WOULDNT" gasped Seto. "Oh, she so would" grinned Kurry. "Wait, if we all
have black mail on each other, we may as well share" said Seto. "True" said
Kurry. "Don't tell me we ALL have it with us" said Kitty. "Yup" grinned Seto.
After an exchange, some serious hysterical laughter was going on. "NICE pink
bunny pajamas, Seto" laughed Kurry.
"The green hair suits you." laughed Seto. He wolf whistled at Kitty's picture.
"Reindeer look suits you" he cracked. "Shut up" said Kitty. Suddenly the car
stopped, causing Kitty to fall to the floor. "Ow...." she groaned. "Are you
alright?" asked
Seto. "Fine... honestly. Your driveway is so long I thought we were still on the
road" said Kitty. Seto sweatdropped. "Sorry" he said. Kurry and Seto helped
Kitty out of the limo, where she was promptly attacked by a worried Ryou. "Are
you alright?" asked Ryou.
"I'm just fine" assured Kitty. "No your not, you sprained your ankle" said
Andraaia.
"You snitched" grinned Kitty, looking at Kurry, who was whistling innocently.
"You what? Come inside, we need to bandage that up" said Ryou. "Ack!, wait,
don't look at my-"
"Good lord, her ankle is PURPLE!"
"...Ankle."
"You let her sprain her ankle!" Ryou groused at Seto. "NO" said Seto.
"You should thank him, Ryou. He carried Kitty back to his limo" said Kurry.
"Oh, so now he's coming onto my girlfriend" he sulked. "I was NOT!" said Seto.
This resulted in a very strange argument. Kitty sweatdropped, and Kurry helped
her into the house, everyone else slowly backed away accept for the three Yami's
and Joey, who were now sitting in deck chairs, eating popcorn and watching.
"This is
embarrassing" sighed Serenity. "This is what happens with TWO jealous types, I
suppose" sweatdropped Kitty. "Well, nobody's perfect... except Malik" grinned
Kurry.
Serenity and Kitty anime fell. "Okay, maybe not PERFECT, but he's so close it's
scary ^-^" grinned Kurry. "Then why has he joined the dunderhead four in
watching our boyfriends fight?" asked Kitty. Kurry slapped her forehead. "Never
mind" she groaned.
~THAT NIGHT~
They were having dinner and then heading to the opening. Seto was making soup.
"AHA! Finished!" he said proudly. Kitty opened the lid of the pot. Ummm...
you're supposed to add water" said Kitty. "What? But- I-" Seto glared at the
soup. "You've just made yourself a very powerful enemy, soup" he growled. "Yeah,
an enemy who talks to soup" said Kitty.
"At least I don't yell at clouds" said Seto. "Joey yells at inanimate objects"
giggled Serenity.
"Great scott, im surrounded by psychiatric patients" said Andraaia. "Run, Run
while you can" grinned Chrono. Dragoness giggled. "I'm fine right here" she
grinned, and scooted closed to
Chrono, making him go a deep scarlet. "Look, Chrono's got a playboy bunny"
cracked
Skuzzie, referring to the fact Dragoness was a rabbit demon. (You'd think she'd
be a dragon demon, huh?) "HEY!" shouted Dragoness. Joey tripped over a chair.
"Heheh, graceful, dog"
Seto cracked. Skuzzie promptly slammed him up against the wall. "You got a
problem with dogs, buddy?" he growled, wolf eyes flashing. "=O_O= No sir" meeped
Seto. "Good" grinned
Skuzzie. "Skuzzie my man, I think you and me are gonna get along juuuuuust fine"
grinned Joey.
~HOT SPRING~
On the girls' side, much giggling was going on. They were playing truth or dare.
Kurry pulled her towel onto her more tightly. "Don't you even think about it,
Isis" she snapped. "Wasn't gonna" said Isis innocently. "Anyways, im asking
Kitty" said Isis.
"Truth" said Kitty. "Do you have a tattoo? If you do, you have to tell us what
and where it is... unless it's somewhere inappropriate " giggled Isis. "Yes, and
very funny. It's on my hip, it's a blue eyes white dragon curled around a rose"
said Kitty. "Honestly, I've never seen anyone as obsessed with dragons as you
and Seto" said Serenity. "You got a TATTOO?!?" yelled Kat. "EARS! OW!" shouted
Kitty.
"Whoops" said Kat sheepishly. Kurry blinked. "Does Seto know about it? I can't
decide whether he'd think the blue eyes was wicked or flip because you got a
tattoo." said Kurry.
Kitty raised an eyebrow. "Why would he flip?" asked Kitty. "You think YOU'RE
protective of HIM?
Kitty, when you disappeared, Ryou shut himself in his room for god knows how
long, and Seto didn't say a word for a month. Seto is way worried about you now
that Kriaun is in power" said Kurry. Kitty turned pink. "Oooh" she said blankly.
"Not to mention Kurry didn't eat until
Malik force fed her" added Kat. "Okay, I don't even want to know what I caused
anymore, okay?
It's to depressing, I feel guilty enough from you three alone" said Kitty. "^^;
Sorry" said
Kurry. Kitty stood to move to the other side of the spring, and Kurry mentioned,
"Did you know
Seto got a tiger tattoo?"
"HE DID WHAT?!?"
*SPLOOSH*
Kitty fell into the spring, and surfaced quickly, coughing and spluttering.
"See? Imagine what
Seto would do if he found out you got a tattoo" said Kurry. Kitty sighed.
"I suppose you're righ-"
*She WHAT?!?*
*SHH!*
"...What was that." said Kitty, ear twitching. She and Kurry climbed out of the
spring, closely followed by Mai. They looked around for a minute.
"Well... I guess there's nothing here..." said Kitty.
"EXCEPT A FEW SPIES!" Kitty pulled a guilty looking Joey and Seto out of the
towel bin by their necks, as they were wearing towels and lacked collars.
"Care to explain?" asked Kitty, raising an eyebrow. "It was a dare" said Seto
sheepishly.
Joey nodded vigorously in agreement. "Really now. Do you know what we DO to
spies, Sety?" grinned Kitty. Joey paled. "I DO" he squeaked. Seto, seeing the
look on Joeys face, gulped.
"What?"
"Heh.Heh.Heh." grinned Mai.
"Tie em up"
~BOYS SIDE~
"They've been gone for a long time..." said Yugi worriedly. "Do you think
they've been caught?" asked Ryou. "If they have, we should be hearing the
screams right about...."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHH"
"...Now." said Bakura, grinning. "If Kurry finds out I suggested you dare them
this,
I am a very very dead man" said Malik. "More like a man who wont be seeing any
action for a very very VERY long time" grinned Marik. "=O-O= And just what is
THAT supposed to mean?
I'm not even going out with anyone!" protested Malik. "You may as well be"
grinned Malik.
"AHHH! NO! NOT THE FACE!"
Every guy there flinched. "So, what should we write on their tombstones?" asked
Chrono.
"Here lies a man who was either very brave or very stupid" said Skuzzie. Duke
snorted.
"Stupid, hands down" laughed Duke. Suddenly the door slammed open, standing
there were all the girls." You can have these BACK" said Mai, as Kitty threw
Joey and Seto to the ground.
"Oh.Dear.Ra" said Chrono.
Joey and Seto had received makeovers, were tied up, and both had lipstick kiss
marks all over their faces. "Meet Setsuna and Jessie. Have fun." said Dragoness,
and with that they walked out.
"Great scott" blinked Ryou. "What are you waiting for? Let us GO!" shouted Seto.
"Not before pictures!" grinned Malik.
Several flashes followed this.
"Wait... who was kissing them?"
Seto&Joey: =O_O=
~BACK AT SETOS~
Everyone who wasn't staying with Seto had gone home. The swelling in Kitty's
ankle had gone down considerably, and she could walk without help. Riyo and
Andraaia were exercising their telekinetic abilities by lazily sending random
things flying around the room. This got them in trouble when they accidentally
put Seto's cat on the chandelier. Seto had disappeared to his room; Joey was
chasing Kurry around the house as she had taken his last donut.
Chrono and Skuzzie were playing basketball in the front yard, and Kitty had been
last seen with a large sketchbook in her room. It looked like things had
returned too as normal as they were gonna get.
The next day, Seto, Ryou, Kitty, Bakura, Isis and Marik had been volunteered to
get groceries.
After which, they stopped at a fast food place to get something to eat. Isis
walked over to the table. "Couples eat free today guys, and as I just realized
we've run out of money, as far as they know im going out with Bakura and Seto
and Marik are a gay couple." Said Isis calmly enough.
"WHAT!?!?"
Kitty choked, Ryou snorted, Bakura covered his mouth and both Seto and Marik
looked like they
were about to faint. Kitty blinked. "WAAAIIIT a minute. You have your credit
card with you"
Said Kitty flatly. "SHH! Ruin my fun, thanks." Said Isis.
*GLARE*
"IIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!"
Isis was now giggling, Bakura and Ryou had lost it, and Kitty was biting hard on
her hand to keep from laughing. The waiter walked up to their table. "May I take
your order?" he asked.
Isis and Kitty went like this: =O__________O= the waiter was drop dead gorgeous.
Tall, with blonde hair that well over his eyes and a silver hoop earring in one
ear, and bright, intense blue eyes. Kitty's eyebrows rose way up. +Wholly shit!
He looks like Link 0_o+ thought
Kitty. Ryou sent a very EVIL look at the waiter. "A salad and a root beer,
please" growled Ryou.
"And what will it be for you, lovely maiden?" flirted the waiter, kissing
Kitty's hand. Ryou, who was near the wall attempted to strangle said waiter, but
Seto, protective as always, beat him to it. Seto grabbed him by the collar.
"She's taken. So's the other girl. KAPEESH?" growled Seto. The waiter nodded and
sweatdropped. "Sorry sir, meant no offense to your girlfriend" he whimpered.
"She's MY girlfriend." Growled Ryou flatly. "PARDON ME, but I can speak
English," growled Kitty. "He meant no offense, so everyone just bloody RELAX.
And I'll have a Pepsi and a club sandwich, please." Said Kitty. Everyone
sweatdropped.
And Seto let go of the guys collar. After they had ordered, Isis grinned. "Whoo.
You go girl."
Grinned Isis. "Hnnn" grunted Kitty mid-sip of her Pepsi.
"Someone's tall, dark, and surly today" mumbled Seto, receiving a glare that
could rival his own. "Look who's talking" grinned Kitty. Seto sweatdropped.
"Shaddap"
*MEANWHILE*
Kurry was walking around the mansion, reflecting on everything that had
happened. So much had changed. Yugi seemed to have lost much of his innocence,
Ryou was darker, Seto was depressed, she herself had hardened... and oh dear
god, she was afraid for Kitty. Not to mention Kitty had changed. It was
something in her eyes, especially. They used to smile with her, and now they
were just... dark. It bothered her. Not to mention she had been far more distant
from her than usual. Kurry sighed, and the let out a little gasp when a pair of
arms wrapped around her from behind. "Kurry? Are you alright?" Kurry turned to
meet bright amethyst eyes. It was Malik, gazing at her worriedly. "Oh... im fine
Malik, just thinking, is all." Said Kurry. "Penny for your thoughts?" grinned
Malik. "Well... Im just thinking about how much everything has changed, and...
HEY!" gasped Kurry. "What?" questioned Malik. "We never got Kitty to try the
Narcinya!" shouted Kurry. (Isn't she smart? Someone had to remember eventually.)
Malik blinked. "Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy... Your RIGHT!" said Malik, and as he said
this, the sound of a door opening and a shout of "WE'RE BAAA-ACK!"
~~~LATER~~~
They were all gathered in the room with Narcinya. Kitty reached out and clasped
the sword in her hand. She let out a shuddering gasp and fell backwards. "Kitty!" shouted Ryou, as he ran up to her.
"Kitty? KITTY! What's happening to her?" asked Ryou, panicking. "I was afraid of this... I think she may be able to use
it, but the shock has her trapped in her own memories. It could be awhile before
she comes out of it, it only recalls the most painful memories in a persons
mind, because we used shadow powers to make it." said
Kurry. Any coulor left in Ryou's face drained out. "You'll kill him like that,
Kurry." Said Bakura. There was a dull thud. Skuzzie was out cold.
"Does anyone ELSE get the idea he knows something we don't?" asked Riyo, raising
an eyebrow. "I must agree... he doesn't seem the fainting type." Said Andraaia.
Marik sighed. "And I thought I was weird..." he mumbled.
----Kitty's Mind----
All kinds of memories we're playing out before her. She saw her father, Jihona,
slamming her into a shelf, while a younger Kriaun watched from the hallway,
grinning gleefully. Pam, humiliating her time after time... she saw herself alone in her room, tears rolling down her cheeks as she pulled out her whiskers. She saw her grandmother's funeral, Kriaun running from her with Mervana... And then...
Kai.
Smiling at her and leaning in to kiss her... and the gasp of pain that she'd never forget, when Kriaun stabbed him from behind. She saw Kurry, when Kitty had seen her for the first time, hurt, alone, and beaten. An easy target for any of the demons running amok. Then she saw herself fighting with Ryou, dueling with
Seto... she saw herself walking down an alley... she recognized this instantly. She saw herself draw her sword and hold it to her own throat... and Skuzzie, appearing from the shadows and knocking her hand, causing her to miss and give her that gash under her eye, but saving her life...
And then she returned to reality with a jolt. The first thing she saw were
Ryou's worried chocolate eyes, and she collapsed in his arms, silent tears
running down her face, shaking. Ryou held her tighter and began stroking her
hair. Kurry was a funny shade of white, and Kat had fainted from the look of
sheer terror on Kitty's face when she had woken up. Kitty slowly stood, using
Narcinya as a support. "Hey... HEY! She can wield it!" gasped Tea. Kitty
blinked. "Wow..." she mumbled. She then caught sight of the unconscious Seto and Skuzzie. "What happened?" asked Kitty. "They both passed out when you went down" said Mai. "Do they know something we don't?" asked Duke. "Err... No?"
said Kitty, sweatdropping. Skuzzie sat up. "Ow..." he groaned. He was bombarded with questions. Skuzzie sat there quietly for sometime before Marik asked if he was going to answer. "Would YOU divulge a secret entrusted to you by your best friend? I think not." Said Skuzzie simply.
*Total silence*
"Damn. He's right" said Yami. "Guys, I think we should just let it alone" said Isis. Seto had come to. "EXACTLY." He said flatly. "Seto!" gasped Serenity, running over to him. "Are you alright?" she questioned worriedly. "Don't worry Serenity, im fine" assured Seto, blushing slightly. "...Well, if you say so... said Serenity eyeing Seto worriedly. There was something off in his eyes. They looked terrified. "Kitty... You need to practice with Narcinya" said Kurry abruptly. Kitty nodded, and flew out a window. Seto sighed, standing. He mumbled something under his breath that no one caught... no one, that is, but the pair of navy blue eyes peering from the hallway, that upon hearing his elder brothers mumblings, widened and filled with tears.
-One Week Later-
Kitty had not returned from her training as of yet, but Kurry assured them all she was fine, and a sword with power of that magnitude would take time to get used to. Ryou, however, could not be stopped pacing around the front room like a caged animal. And Seto was worried sick over Mokuba, who had been acting distant and sad. Not even Serenity's best efforts seemed to be able to console him, and worrying over Mokuba got SETO distant and depressed. Kat and Bakura had been clingyer than usual, and Malik jumped six feet in the air whenever anyone mentioned Kurry. Mia and Joey sighed. "Mai, I don't know if it's just me, but there is SOMETHING up." Said Joey. "Koi, it's not that hard to miss" said Mai. Joey sweatdropped. "Still. Ryou is going to wear a path into the rug, and Seto, I don't even wanna think about if not even Seren' can make him feel better." Said Joey. "Hey, You called him Seto." Said Mai. "Ehhh... he may not be my favorite person in the world, but he's alright." Said Joey. "Certainly an improvement over 'Here comes Johnny Sunshine" grinned Mai. "You gotta admit, that was pretty descriptive" snickered Joey. "You're just lucky he didn't rip your arm off" said Mai. Suddenly a loud crash made everyone turn to the front door. It was Kitty, or at least as far as they could tell. She was scratched, beaten, cut, bruised, looked exhausted, her head was bleeding pretty badly, and had to lean on her sword to stay upright. "Help..." was all she managed to croak out before she passed out. Ryou would probably have passed out himself if it hadn't been his first instinct to help Kitty. He quickly ran to her, calling Seto over as he had little medical knowledge himself. Seto frowned. "This looks bad... c'mon, we've got to get her into bed" said Seto.
~*~
She woke up the next day. "Nnhhh... Wh-where am I?" she groaned. "Oh thank GOD, you're awake!" gasped Skuzzie. "Kitty slowly sat up. "Where Ryou?" she questioned. Skuzzie pointed to the other side of the bed, where Ryou was kneeling on the floor with his head on the bed, fast asleep. "You've been out since yesterday, and he hasn't moved from that spot since. What happened?" asked Skuzzie. "Kriaun found me... hundreds of his minions. I just barely got out. But I can't stay here, it's not safe for the rest of you!" said Kitty. "That's nonsense. You're in no shape to leave, and we wouldn't let you anyways" said Ryou, looking up. Kitty sighed. "Fine, but if someone gets hurt, I will NEVER forgive myself." Said Kitty, sighing. Suddenly Kurry, who had apparently sensed Kitty coming back into consciousness, burst through the door like she'd been shot out of a cannon. "Kitty?!? You're awake! Oh thank GOD!" gasped Kurry. "Relax, girl, you'll hurt something. And I wouldn't celebrate. Kriaun knows where I am" said Kitty. Kurry paled, then blinked. "Now that your conscious, I can heal you up in a jiff, and we've got Narcinya. I vote we're ready and waiting to ambush him" said Kurry confidently. Kitty blinked and the flash of rage she'd seen in Kurry's eyes. She got the feeling she had definitely been left in the dark about something.
~HOUR LATER~
(Next part was written by Kurry, explaining why it doesn't suck. XD)
They were sitting around in the lounge, being rather unusually quiet as they tried to come up with ideas for an ambush on Kriaun. Each one had thoughtful looks on their faces as each wracked their brains for any idea whatsoever.
Bakura was perched on the edge of the couch, absently watching Kat. His mind began to wander as he studied her face, remembering each feature exactly as it was 5000 years ago. She hadn't aged a bit. Not so for him. Recalling the day they met, he lapsed into memory.........
+FLASHBACK+
.........He was watching silently, gauging his time until he could creep across the entrance to the tomb. Being an expert in his chosen field, Bakura knew the secret entrances of all the major pyramids in the area, and a few beyond the city's borders. Checking the guard's movements, he slipped like a wraith across the moonlit passage and crept around the other side.
'I wouldn't do that if I were you,' a soft female voice whispered behind him. Bakura froze solid, then slowly turned, heart pounding in the disbelief that he'd been caught.
The female in question stepped into the light and Bakura was struck dumb by piercing green eyes. 'Hi,' she said simply, smiling. He cocked an eyebrow. Did the Pharaoh's soldiers usually say 'Hi' to a tomb robber they were about to capture?
The girl almost snickered. 'I'm not a soldier, nor am I going to turn you in. I have been sent to be your guardian, since your profession is quite dangerous. I am telling you, do not go into this tomb. You'll regret it.'
Bakura was shocked. Could this female read minds? Warily he stepped away from the pyramid, into the shadows.
'What are you?' he asked.
She smiled, the nicest smile that had ever been aimed at him.
'I am an eagle demon. My name is Kat. Nice to meet you, Bakura.'
Bakura had been flabbergasted at that. He'd never told anyone his name! (It was not a habit you got into in the tomb robbing trade.) Yet as he found out more about her and her special cause he became more comfortable with the idea. At first he was afraid she'd try to turn him for good. (Gag.) But she told him she wasn't there to control his life, only protect it and she even joined him in his chosen profession. And as he recalled, they had the time of their lives.........
'Shhh! They'll hear us!' Bakura whispered, trying desperately not to laugh.
'I can't help it! It's too funny!' Kat hissed in reply, her giggles muffled by his hand.
'How we got stuck in the treasury I'll never know,' Bakura chuckled, shaking from held-in mirth.
Kat calmed down long enough to say, 'I'll Portal us out. It'll be easier anyway.' She opened a Portal and seeing him hesitate pushed him in ahead of her. Falling from the Portal out of the range of the guards, the two let go and laughed until they were exhausted. Kat sighed. 'C'mon, we should go before they find us.' Bakura hopped up first, pulling Kat to her feet. Losing her balance, she tripped and fell against him. He managed to steady her, and in that moment he'd known that he was falling for her. However, he figured that she'd never feel the same so he kept it within, content with her company for the time being.
Then, about a month later they'd just pulled off a big job. Having enjoyed the fruits of their endeavors, they were off for a walk along the Nile. The Sun was setting, Ra drawing his last light over the world for the day. Kat sighed, quite content from the enormous meal they'd had. Bakura was absently gazing at the calm Nile waters when he felt a hand slip into his. His breath quickened without permission but he did not pull away. When they were a ways away from the city they paused to watch the last rays of the sun disappear. The sky was gorgeous with a red and gold hue, silhouetting the two against it. Seeing her lit up like that, all golden with a soft and tender look, Bakura had suddenly overcome his fear and turned to her.
'Kat?'
'Mmm?'
'I.........I need to tell you something.'
She'd faced him, her fantastic green eyes more stunning than ever.
'I.........I love you Kat.'
He remembered the soft gasp as she covered her mouth with her hand.
'R-really Bakura?'
'Y-yes. I have for a long time.'
He'd lowered his eyes, almost ashamed in the certainty that she'd reject him.) She'd tilted his chin up and gave him the first and gentlest kiss he'd ever experienced. He didn't waste any time in deepening it. Then she pulled away, the look on her face.........so tender and kind, it made his heart melt.
'Bakura. I love you too.'
Those words were his every hope and dream. He felt as though he'd been lifted to Ra's Domain and back. But the moment she said them, something altered in the wind. A dark cloud was suddenly visible on the horizon, growing more menacing by the minute. Kat gasped suddenly in fear. 'Oh no.........'
'What?' Bakura had asked her, tightening his hold on her waist and wondering whether they could get cloud storms in a desert.
Kat looked increasingly agitated. 'Oh no, oh no, I've done something I shouldn't have.' Watching the cloud come nearer, she suddenly turned to him, anxiety in her eyes. 'Please promise me something. No matter what happens, don't do anything stupid. I'll always love you. Okay?'
Bakura was completely confused. 'Um..........'
'Promise me!'
'I promise.'
CRACK!!
A mighty clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning struck the sand. When the flash disappeared, in its place were two hulking demons, black as night. One had scythe-like claws and the other a head shaped like a lizard, with a foreboding look in the eye. Kat bowed her head and walked up to them, ordering Bakura to stay where he was. Despite the wind, he could make out their conversation.
'I didn't mean to. I couldn't help it.'
'You know the rules.'
'Yes, but.........how can it be bad? It's not hurting anyone!'
'You'll have to come with us.'
Suddenly defiant, Kat flung up her head, eyes flashing. 'I don't want to!'
They'd jumped her then, kicking and shrieking. He'd whipped out his dagger with the intent of freeing her but the lizard one had sent a beam of some kind of energy at him, knocking him back and rendering him immobile. He could only watch in agony as the only love he'd ever known was dragged off to her fate. Just before he'd blacked out, he'd heard her call frantically:
'Bakura! I'll love you forever!'
Then she was gone.
When he awoke it was dark, the stars twinkling normally overhead, no trace of the deadly cloud left. The beauty of the night mocked him as his memories returned - they'd carried off his love and what had he done? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Bakura rose in anger, the pain of remorse and loss weighing on his heart until he couldn't take it anymore. He took off in fury, running, running from the pain, not wanting to remember and yet forced to do so.
The first tomb he came to he broke into, disregarding all the safety measures he'd learned to perfect. Ransacking and destroying anything that lay in his path, he still had not vented his anger when they came for him. The guards dragged him, fighting like a mad thing, to the Pharaoh. That was the first time he'd laid eyes on the young ruler - he had a saddened look in his eyes as he declared Bakura's fate.
'He shall be sealed in the Ring. Take him away until it is time.'
As they hauled him off to the dungeons Bakura vaguely realized that the tomb he had been caught in was the one Kat had warned him away from, that moonlit night on which they met.........
*END FLASHBACK*
Bakura suddenly snapped back to reality when he heard Kitty scream. He looked up, and almost screamed himself. Ryou's eyes were glowing vivid green; he had stood up, and had a glowing aura of darkness surrounding him. His eye had narrowed, and looked soulless. He was terrifying. "I've finally found you, little sister" he snarled in a voice that was unmistakably Kriaun's. Kitty gasped. "You monster! Get out of his mind! He's never done anything to you! Ryou! Speak to me!" cried Kitty. "He can't hear you, little sister. His mind is weakened from years of possession" grinned Kriaun. Bakura looked pale, and guilt wrenched at his stomach. Malik looked a little green himself. "Hear me now, sister. I will come for you. And when I do... you be ready" he cackled. "Or maybe I should just kill you NOW, when I know you wont hurt the body im possessing" laughed Kriaun, and he started to advance. Kurry and Skuzzie rose, but Kitty raised a hand. "Mo, I wont have him hurt because of me. Enough of you have suffered. Maybe he should just kill me now. Kriaun! If I go without a fight, will you let them be?" shouted Kitty. "What else would I need them for? You're the one I want" grinned Kriaun. "You have made a foolish decision, I always knew your love of these mortals would be your downfall" grinned Kriaun, as he picked up a knife from a nearby table and advanced of Kitty, who stiffened and glared at Kriaun. "Kitty!" Seto and Skuzzie both made a dive for her, but Riyo's eyes glowed and they were thrown back. "Stay back! He'll kill anyone in his way!' shouted Andraaia. "We can't let him kill her!" shouted Kat. Ryou's featured twisted into a horrid grin. "I've waited a long time for this sister" he said as he raised the knife. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and his arm froze. "What- what is this? Why can't I move?" said Kriaun, confused. A smirk spread across Kitty's face. "He's fighting you off" she said simply. Kriaun shouted with pain. Ryou eye's were flickering back more often.
"I... am sick of being CONTROLLED!" roared Ryou as he shook Kriaun all together and fell to the floor. "Ryou!" shouted Kitty, but then gasped and Kriaun appeared again, in Dragoness.
"Maybe you have won this battle... But Kaiba, your brother was distraught enough I caught him off guard. Be careful what you mumble"
WHOOO! NEW CHAPTER!
And a cliffhanger.
Im such a bitch. XD
HUGE thanks to Kurry-Chan for her help and support, as always.
READ AND REVIEW!
actually have
LINES! And I got a word program with spell check. Rah. And sorry this is so
late.
Seto: *snorts*
Kitty: -__- Har har. Anyways, HUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to Kurry, she knows why.
(Well by the time I update this she'll probably have forgotten XD)
Disclaimer: FOR THE 50000000000TH time, I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH!
(I also stole the add water to the soup joke later on from the fic Bakura versus
The Soup, by Kiwi Smoothy. Hilarious, you should read it.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There was a loud explosion from outside. The sword forgotten, everyone ran
upstairs... and sweatdropped. The explosion had been the washing machine blowing
a fuse, and it had sent up a mighty geyser of bubbles. "SHIT" shouted Joey and
Bakura, whose turn it had been to do laundry.
Bakura dived into the sea of bubbles to try and shut the lid, and Joey went
around to try and unplug the machine. There was another loud BANG as a lid
slammed.
However the machine began shaking as the pressure built up. Just as the lid was
about to burst-
Joey unplugged the machine.
"Wow, that was anti-climactic -__-" said Yami.
Suddenly Seto gave a shout. "Hey guys... I read in the newspaper there's the
grand opening of a hot spring tonight.. I can get us private rooms" he grinned.
"You mean a girls side and a guys, RIGHT?" asked Kitty, raising an eyebrow. "You
are such a hentai" grumbled Seto.
"I take after you" she grinned. Serenity giggled and Seto anime fell. Ryou
laughed and hugged
Kitty. "Well, I don't mind" he grinned. "NOW who's the hentai?" asked Chrono.
"You" said Dragoness, grinning.
About an hour later, they all went for a walk. However, over what no one had
heard, but Seto and Kitty got into a fight. And it must have been a doozy from
what Seto did next. "YEAH?
Well maybe you SHOULDNT have come back!" he shouted and turned and stalked off.
For a moment a look of pure shock and hurt came over Kitty's face, but it
quickly switched to anger. She stalked right after Kaiba, and tapped him on the
shoulder. He turned...
And Kitty promptly slapped him across the face so hard he fell over, and then
opened her wings and took off. A few people on the street who had been watching
the fight laughed and kept walking. Seto stood, touched his cheek, which now was
red, and growled and stalked off.
"Ummm... Line? Is there a teleprompter? Did I miss something?" questioned Yami.
Later on, they went back to Kaiba's. Neither of the two brunettes had returned
as of yet.
"What do you think could've happened to make Seto say something like that?"
worried Serenity.
"I dunno, but it must've been big" said Riyo. (SEE! LINE!) "Kurry, you can sense
Kitty, can't you?" questioned Malik. "Yeah, hang on" said Kurry as she closed
her eyes and glowed blue. She opened her eyes. "I knew it" grinned Kurry who
then took off.
~*~With Seto~*~
+I can't believe I was so stubborn. I should never have said that, Kitty's
emotions are in an unstable state as is. I started the whole damn thing, too. I
had to bite her head off over a stupid question! I'm a jerk. Jerkity jerk jerk.
That song 'You Jerk' is based on me. + He started to hum it absently to himself.
Then began singing it softly. "You jerk, you jerk, you are such a jerk, there
are other words, but they just don't work...." he couldn't take it anymore.
He began banging his head on a tree. "I...AM...SUCH...A.... FUCKING...ASSHOLE! I
can't believe id do something like that to my best friend! She's practically
FAMILLY! Damnit damnit DAMNIT! I deserve to be shot!" he shouted, banging his
head as he went.
"Yes, yes you do. But apology accepted"
".... She's right behind me, isn't she?"
"Oh yeah. I can sense a guilty subconscious from miles away, and honey, yours I
could've sensed from New Zealand."
"Listen- Kitty, im sorry. This was my fault. I shouldn't have snapped at you,
I'm such a jerk!" said Seto. "So you've thought." grinned Kitty. Seto blinked.
"You read minds?" he asked. "Rarely. Takes a lotta energy." said Kitty. "Are you
okay to get home?" asked Seto.
"Yeah im fine, I can just walk- AHH!" shouted Kitty as she tripped over a log.
"My, that was graceful of me" groaned Kitty. "Are you alright?" asked Seto,
raising an eyebrow.
"Fine, just a scratch- GAH!" Kitty stood and promptly fell over. "Umm... I think
I might've hurt my ankle a little" said Kitty. Seto blinked. "Wait... Let me see
your ankle- oh dear ra,
Kitty, your ankle's turned PURPLE." said Seto. "Ewww" said Kitty. "I can't tell
if it's broken or not... does this hurt?"
"No"
"This?"
"No"
"This?"
"YEEEEEEEE-----OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"
"It's just a sprain" grinned Seto. "The hot spring tonight will do it a world
of good" he finished. "Well that's great, but how do we get home? I'm to tired
to fly from the mind reading, and now I can't walk!" said Kitty, as she pulled
her self up onto a log. "Relax, there's a
Kaiba corp limo about six blocks from here" said Seto. "We still have to walk,
Seto" said Kitty. Seto picked her up. "Gah! Hey! Seto!" protested Kitty. "I can
walk fine, I'll carry you" said Seto. "But-I- oh fine" said Kitty. They had
gone four blocks, when Seto nearly ran into a telephone pole when he turned to
look at a computer in a window.
"Oh that was good" cracked Kitty. "Oh yeah?" grinned Seto. He promptly threw
Kitty over his shoulder. "HEY" shouted Kitty. "If you're gonna be a smart ass,
you can stay like that" grinned
Seto.
"You two are shameless" laughed a voice from beside them. Kurry had flown up.
"Why thank you" said both. "Kurry! Make him put me down!" giggled Kitty. "Naw.
Id rather film this" grinned Kurry as she whipped out a video camera. "You suck"
pouted Kitty.
Kurry stuck out her tongue. Seto laughed. Kurry sent the message of general
okayingness to
Andraaia telepathically. "So why are you carrying her anyways?" asked Kurry.
"She hurt her ankle" said Seto. "Shuttup" said Kitty. Kurry looked at Kitty's
ankle.
"Great scott, it's purple" said Kurry. "Brilliant observation, Sherlock" said
Kitty.
"What'd you do, drop a rock on it?" asked Kurry. "No, she tripped over a log"
said Seto.
"The almighty Kitty struck down by clumsiness. "Heehee" said Kurry.
"Remind me to put chlorine in your shampoo -___-" said Kitty. "Gah! No! Chlorine
makes my hair turn green!" protested Kurry. "This has happened before?" asked
Seto, raising an eyebrow.
"I still have the pictures" giggled Kitty. "Id shut up if I were you, reindeer
breath" glared Kurry. "Shutting up" said Kitty. They got to the limo, Seto and
Kurry in front and Kitty lying in the back to rest her ankle. "What do you mean
by reindeer breath?" asked
Seto. "Christmas play we had not long before Kitty and I originally came. Kitty
was a reindeer, and had to wear a tight black shirt, brown tights, dress
sandals, and a brown mini skirt, along with antlers that had blinking lights. I
have pictures" giggled Kurry. "Can I see?" grinned Seto.
"Not unless you want those bunny pajama pics all over the internet" said Kitty.
"You WOULDNT" gasped Seto. "Oh, she so would" grinned Kurry. "Wait, if we all
have black mail on each other, we may as well share" said Seto. "True" said
Kurry. "Don't tell me we ALL have it with us" said Kitty. "Yup" grinned Seto.
After an exchange, some serious hysterical laughter was going on. "NICE pink
bunny pajamas, Seto" laughed Kurry.
"The green hair suits you." laughed Seto. He wolf whistled at Kitty's picture.
"Reindeer look suits you" he cracked. "Shut up" said Kitty. Suddenly the car
stopped, causing Kitty to fall to the floor. "Ow...." she groaned. "Are you
alright?" asked
Seto. "Fine... honestly. Your driveway is so long I thought we were still on the
road" said Kitty. Seto sweatdropped. "Sorry" he said. Kurry and Seto helped
Kitty out of the limo, where she was promptly attacked by a worried Ryou. "Are
you alright?" asked Ryou.
"I'm just fine" assured Kitty. "No your not, you sprained your ankle" said
Andraaia.
"You snitched" grinned Kitty, looking at Kurry, who was whistling innocently.
"You what? Come inside, we need to bandage that up" said Ryou. "Ack!, wait,
don't look at my-"
"Good lord, her ankle is PURPLE!"
"...Ankle."
"You let her sprain her ankle!" Ryou groused at Seto. "NO" said Seto.
"You should thank him, Ryou. He carried Kitty back to his limo" said Kurry.
"Oh, so now he's coming onto my girlfriend" he sulked. "I was NOT!" said Seto.
This resulted in a very strange argument. Kitty sweatdropped, and Kurry helped
her into the house, everyone else slowly backed away accept for the three Yami's
and Joey, who were now sitting in deck chairs, eating popcorn and watching.
"This is
embarrassing" sighed Serenity. "This is what happens with TWO jealous types, I
suppose" sweatdropped Kitty. "Well, nobody's perfect... except Malik" grinned
Kurry.
Serenity and Kitty anime fell. "Okay, maybe not PERFECT, but he's so close it's
scary ^-^" grinned Kurry. "Then why has he joined the dunderhead four in
watching our boyfriends fight?" asked Kitty. Kurry slapped her forehead. "Never
mind" she groaned.
~THAT NIGHT~
They were having dinner and then heading to the opening. Seto was making soup.
"AHA! Finished!" he said proudly. Kitty opened the lid of the pot. Ummm...
you're supposed to add water" said Kitty. "What? But- I-" Seto glared at the
soup. "You've just made yourself a very powerful enemy, soup" he growled. "Yeah,
an enemy who talks to soup" said Kitty.
"At least I don't yell at clouds" said Seto. "Joey yells at inanimate objects"
giggled Serenity.
"Great scott, im surrounded by psychiatric patients" said Andraaia. "Run, Run
while you can" grinned Chrono. Dragoness giggled. "I'm fine right here" she
grinned, and scooted closed to
Chrono, making him go a deep scarlet. "Look, Chrono's got a playboy bunny"
cracked
Skuzzie, referring to the fact Dragoness was a rabbit demon. (You'd think she'd
be a dragon demon, huh?) "HEY!" shouted Dragoness. Joey tripped over a chair.
"Heheh, graceful, dog"
Seto cracked. Skuzzie promptly slammed him up against the wall. "You got a
problem with dogs, buddy?" he growled, wolf eyes flashing. "=O_O= No sir" meeped
Seto. "Good" grinned
Skuzzie. "Skuzzie my man, I think you and me are gonna get along juuuuuust fine"
grinned Joey.
~HOT SPRING~
On the girls' side, much giggling was going on. They were playing truth or dare.
Kurry pulled her towel onto her more tightly. "Don't you even think about it,
Isis" she snapped. "Wasn't gonna" said Isis innocently. "Anyways, im asking
Kitty" said Isis.
"Truth" said Kitty. "Do you have a tattoo? If you do, you have to tell us what
and where it is... unless it's somewhere inappropriate " giggled Isis. "Yes, and
very funny. It's on my hip, it's a blue eyes white dragon curled around a rose"
said Kitty. "Honestly, I've never seen anyone as obsessed with dragons as you
and Seto" said Serenity. "You got a TATTOO?!?" yelled Kat. "EARS! OW!" shouted
Kitty.
"Whoops" said Kat sheepishly. Kurry blinked. "Does Seto know about it? I can't
decide whether he'd think the blue eyes was wicked or flip because you got a
tattoo." said Kurry.
Kitty raised an eyebrow. "Why would he flip?" asked Kitty. "You think YOU'RE
protective of HIM?
Kitty, when you disappeared, Ryou shut himself in his room for god knows how
long, and Seto didn't say a word for a month. Seto is way worried about you now
that Kriaun is in power" said Kurry. Kitty turned pink. "Oooh" she said blankly.
"Not to mention Kurry didn't eat until
Malik force fed her" added Kat. "Okay, I don't even want to know what I caused
anymore, okay?
It's to depressing, I feel guilty enough from you three alone" said Kitty. "^^;
Sorry" said
Kurry. Kitty stood to move to the other side of the spring, and Kurry mentioned,
"Did you know
Seto got a tiger tattoo?"
"HE DID WHAT?!?"
*SPLOOSH*
Kitty fell into the spring, and surfaced quickly, coughing and spluttering.
"See? Imagine what
Seto would do if he found out you got a tattoo" said Kurry. Kitty sighed.
"I suppose you're righ-"
*She WHAT?!?*
*SHH!*
"...What was that." said Kitty, ear twitching. She and Kurry climbed out of the
spring, closely followed by Mai. They looked around for a minute.
"Well... I guess there's nothing here..." said Kitty.
"EXCEPT A FEW SPIES!" Kitty pulled a guilty looking Joey and Seto out of the
towel bin by their necks, as they were wearing towels and lacked collars.
"Care to explain?" asked Kitty, raising an eyebrow. "It was a dare" said Seto
sheepishly.
Joey nodded vigorously in agreement. "Really now. Do you know what we DO to
spies, Sety?" grinned Kitty. Joey paled. "I DO" he squeaked. Seto, seeing the
look on Joeys face, gulped.
"What?"
"Heh.Heh.Heh." grinned Mai.
"Tie em up"
~BOYS SIDE~
"They've been gone for a long time..." said Yugi worriedly. "Do you think
they've been caught?" asked Ryou. "If they have, we should be hearing the
screams right about...."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHH"
"...Now." said Bakura, grinning. "If Kurry finds out I suggested you dare them
this,
I am a very very dead man" said Malik. "More like a man who wont be seeing any
action for a very very VERY long time" grinned Marik. "=O-O= And just what is
THAT supposed to mean?
I'm not even going out with anyone!" protested Malik. "You may as well be"
grinned Malik.
"AHHH! NO! NOT THE FACE!"
Every guy there flinched. "So, what should we write on their tombstones?" asked
Chrono.
"Here lies a man who was either very brave or very stupid" said Skuzzie. Duke
snorted.
"Stupid, hands down" laughed Duke. Suddenly the door slammed open, standing
there were all the girls." You can have these BACK" said Mai, as Kitty threw
Joey and Seto to the ground.
"Oh.Dear.Ra" said Chrono.
Joey and Seto had received makeovers, were tied up, and both had lipstick kiss
marks all over their faces. "Meet Setsuna and Jessie. Have fun." said Dragoness,
and with that they walked out.
"Great scott" blinked Ryou. "What are you waiting for? Let us GO!" shouted Seto.
"Not before pictures!" grinned Malik.
Several flashes followed this.
"Wait... who was kissing them?"
Seto&Joey: =O_O=
~BACK AT SETOS~
Everyone who wasn't staying with Seto had gone home. The swelling in Kitty's
ankle had gone down considerably, and she could walk without help. Riyo and
Andraaia were exercising their telekinetic abilities by lazily sending random
things flying around the room. This got them in trouble when they accidentally
put Seto's cat on the chandelier. Seto had disappeared to his room; Joey was
chasing Kurry around the house as she had taken his last donut.
Chrono and Skuzzie were playing basketball in the front yard, and Kitty had been
last seen with a large sketchbook in her room. It looked like things had
returned too as normal as they were gonna get.
The next day, Seto, Ryou, Kitty, Bakura, Isis and Marik had been volunteered to
get groceries.
After which, they stopped at a fast food place to get something to eat. Isis
walked over to the table. "Couples eat free today guys, and as I just realized
we've run out of money, as far as they know im going out with Bakura and Seto
and Marik are a gay couple." Said Isis calmly enough.
"WHAT!?!?"
Kitty choked, Ryou snorted, Bakura covered his mouth and both Seto and Marik
looked like they
were about to faint. Kitty blinked. "WAAAIIIT a minute. You have your credit
card with you"
Said Kitty flatly. "SHH! Ruin my fun, thanks." Said Isis.
*GLARE*
"IIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!"
Isis was now giggling, Bakura and Ryou had lost it, and Kitty was biting hard on
her hand to keep from laughing. The waiter walked up to their table. "May I take
your order?" he asked.
Isis and Kitty went like this: =O__________O= the waiter was drop dead gorgeous.
Tall, with blonde hair that well over his eyes and a silver hoop earring in one
ear, and bright, intense blue eyes. Kitty's eyebrows rose way up. +Wholly shit!
He looks like Link 0_o+ thought
Kitty. Ryou sent a very EVIL look at the waiter. "A salad and a root beer,
please" growled Ryou.
"And what will it be for you, lovely maiden?" flirted the waiter, kissing
Kitty's hand. Ryou, who was near the wall attempted to strangle said waiter, but
Seto, protective as always, beat him to it. Seto grabbed him by the collar.
"She's taken. So's the other girl. KAPEESH?" growled Seto. The waiter nodded and
sweatdropped. "Sorry sir, meant no offense to your girlfriend" he whimpered.
"She's MY girlfriend." Growled Ryou flatly. "PARDON ME, but I can speak
English," growled Kitty. "He meant no offense, so everyone just bloody RELAX.
And I'll have a Pepsi and a club sandwich, please." Said Kitty. Everyone
sweatdropped.
And Seto let go of the guys collar. After they had ordered, Isis grinned. "Whoo.
You go girl."
Grinned Isis. "Hnnn" grunted Kitty mid-sip of her Pepsi.
"Someone's tall, dark, and surly today" mumbled Seto, receiving a glare that
could rival his own. "Look who's talking" grinned Kitty. Seto sweatdropped.
"Shaddap"
*MEANWHILE*
Kurry was walking around the mansion, reflecting on everything that had
happened. So much had changed. Yugi seemed to have lost much of his innocence,
Ryou was darker, Seto was depressed, she herself had hardened... and oh dear
god, she was afraid for Kitty. Not to mention Kitty had changed. It was
something in her eyes, especially. They used to smile with her, and now they
were just... dark. It bothered her. Not to mention she had been far more distant
from her than usual. Kurry sighed, and the let out a little gasp when a pair of
arms wrapped around her from behind. "Kurry? Are you alright?" Kurry turned to
meet bright amethyst eyes. It was Malik, gazing at her worriedly. "Oh... im fine
Malik, just thinking, is all." Said Kurry. "Penny for your thoughts?" grinned
Malik. "Well... Im just thinking about how much everything has changed, and...
HEY!" gasped Kurry. "What?" questioned Malik. "We never got Kitty to try the
Narcinya!" shouted Kurry. (Isn't she smart? Someone had to remember eventually.)
Malik blinked. "Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy... Your RIGHT!" said Malik, and as he said
this, the sound of a door opening and a shout of "WE'RE BAAA-ACK!"
~~~LATER~~~
They were all gathered in the room with Narcinya. Kitty reached out and clasped
the sword in her hand. She let out a shuddering gasp and fell backwards. "Kitty!" shouted Ryou, as he ran up to her.
"Kitty? KITTY! What's happening to her?" asked Ryou, panicking. "I was afraid of this... I think she may be able to use
it, but the shock has her trapped in her own memories. It could be awhile before
she comes out of it, it only recalls the most painful memories in a persons
mind, because we used shadow powers to make it." said
Kurry. Any coulor left in Ryou's face drained out. "You'll kill him like that,
Kurry." Said Bakura. There was a dull thud. Skuzzie was out cold.
"Does anyone ELSE get the idea he knows something we don't?" asked Riyo, raising
an eyebrow. "I must agree... he doesn't seem the fainting type." Said Andraaia.
Marik sighed. "And I thought I was weird..." he mumbled.
----Kitty's Mind----
All kinds of memories we're playing out before her. She saw her father, Jihona,
slamming her into a shelf, while a younger Kriaun watched from the hallway,
grinning gleefully. Pam, humiliating her time after time... she saw herself alone in her room, tears rolling down her cheeks as she pulled out her whiskers. She saw her grandmother's funeral, Kriaun running from her with Mervana... And then...
Kai.
Smiling at her and leaning in to kiss her... and the gasp of pain that she'd never forget, when Kriaun stabbed him from behind. She saw Kurry, when Kitty had seen her for the first time, hurt, alone, and beaten. An easy target for any of the demons running amok. Then she saw herself fighting with Ryou, dueling with
Seto... she saw herself walking down an alley... she recognized this instantly. She saw herself draw her sword and hold it to her own throat... and Skuzzie, appearing from the shadows and knocking her hand, causing her to miss and give her that gash under her eye, but saving her life...
And then she returned to reality with a jolt. The first thing she saw were
Ryou's worried chocolate eyes, and she collapsed in his arms, silent tears
running down her face, shaking. Ryou held her tighter and began stroking her
hair. Kurry was a funny shade of white, and Kat had fainted from the look of
sheer terror on Kitty's face when she had woken up. Kitty slowly stood, using
Narcinya as a support. "Hey... HEY! She can wield it!" gasped Tea. Kitty
blinked. "Wow..." she mumbled. She then caught sight of the unconscious Seto and Skuzzie. "What happened?" asked Kitty. "They both passed out when you went down" said Mai. "Do they know something we don't?" asked Duke. "Err... No?"
said Kitty, sweatdropping. Skuzzie sat up. "Ow..." he groaned. He was bombarded with questions. Skuzzie sat there quietly for sometime before Marik asked if he was going to answer. "Would YOU divulge a secret entrusted to you by your best friend? I think not." Said Skuzzie simply.
*Total silence*
"Damn. He's right" said Yami. "Guys, I think we should just let it alone" said Isis. Seto had come to. "EXACTLY." He said flatly. "Seto!" gasped Serenity, running over to him. "Are you alright?" she questioned worriedly. "Don't worry Serenity, im fine" assured Seto, blushing slightly. "...Well, if you say so... said Serenity eyeing Seto worriedly. There was something off in his eyes. They looked terrified. "Kitty... You need to practice with Narcinya" said Kurry abruptly. Kitty nodded, and flew out a window. Seto sighed, standing. He mumbled something under his breath that no one caught... no one, that is, but the pair of navy blue eyes peering from the hallway, that upon hearing his elder brothers mumblings, widened and filled with tears.
-One Week Later-
Kitty had not returned from her training as of yet, but Kurry assured them all she was fine, and a sword with power of that magnitude would take time to get used to. Ryou, however, could not be stopped pacing around the front room like a caged animal. And Seto was worried sick over Mokuba, who had been acting distant and sad. Not even Serenity's best efforts seemed to be able to console him, and worrying over Mokuba got SETO distant and depressed. Kat and Bakura had been clingyer than usual, and Malik jumped six feet in the air whenever anyone mentioned Kurry. Mia and Joey sighed. "Mai, I don't know if it's just me, but there is SOMETHING up." Said Joey. "Koi, it's not that hard to miss" said Mai. Joey sweatdropped. "Still. Ryou is going to wear a path into the rug, and Seto, I don't even wanna think about if not even Seren' can make him feel better." Said Joey. "Hey, You called him Seto." Said Mai. "Ehhh... he may not be my favorite person in the world, but he's alright." Said Joey. "Certainly an improvement over 'Here comes Johnny Sunshine" grinned Mai. "You gotta admit, that was pretty descriptive" snickered Joey. "You're just lucky he didn't rip your arm off" said Mai. Suddenly a loud crash made everyone turn to the front door. It was Kitty, or at least as far as they could tell. She was scratched, beaten, cut, bruised, looked exhausted, her head was bleeding pretty badly, and had to lean on her sword to stay upright. "Help..." was all she managed to croak out before she passed out. Ryou would probably have passed out himself if it hadn't been his first instinct to help Kitty. He quickly ran to her, calling Seto over as he had little medical knowledge himself. Seto frowned. "This looks bad... c'mon, we've got to get her into bed" said Seto.

She woke up the next day. "Nnhhh... Wh-where am I?" she groaned. "Oh thank GOD, you're awake!" gasped Skuzzie. "Kitty slowly sat up. "Where Ryou?" she questioned. Skuzzie pointed to the other side of the bed, where Ryou was kneeling on the floor with his head on the bed, fast asleep. "You've been out since yesterday, and he hasn't moved from that spot since. What happened?" asked Skuzzie. "Kriaun found me... hundreds of his minions. I just barely got out. But I can't stay here, it's not safe for the rest of you!" said Kitty. "That's nonsense. You're in no shape to leave, and we wouldn't let you anyways" said Ryou, looking up. Kitty sighed. "Fine, but if someone gets hurt, I will NEVER forgive myself." Said Kitty, sighing. Suddenly Kurry, who had apparently sensed Kitty coming back into consciousness, burst through the door like she'd been shot out of a cannon. "Kitty?!? You're awake! Oh thank GOD!" gasped Kurry. "Relax, girl, you'll hurt something. And I wouldn't celebrate. Kriaun knows where I am" said Kitty. Kurry paled, then blinked. "Now that your conscious, I can heal you up in a jiff, and we've got Narcinya. I vote we're ready and waiting to ambush him" said Kurry confidently. Kitty blinked and the flash of rage she'd seen in Kurry's eyes. She got the feeling she had definitely been left in the dark about something.
~HOUR LATER~
(Next part was written by Kurry, explaining why it doesn't suck. XD)
They were sitting around in the lounge, being rather unusually quiet as they tried to come up with ideas for an ambush on Kriaun. Each one had thoughtful looks on their faces as each wracked their brains for any idea whatsoever.
Bakura was perched on the edge of the couch, absently watching Kat. His mind began to wander as he studied her face, remembering each feature exactly as it was 5000 years ago. She hadn't aged a bit. Not so for him. Recalling the day they met, he lapsed into memory.........
+FLASHBACK+
.........He was watching silently, gauging his time until he could creep across the entrance to the tomb. Being an expert in his chosen field, Bakura knew the secret entrances of all the major pyramids in the area, and a few beyond the city's borders. Checking the guard's movements, he slipped like a wraith across the moonlit passage and crept around the other side.
'I wouldn't do that if I were you,' a soft female voice whispered behind him. Bakura froze solid, then slowly turned, heart pounding in the disbelief that he'd been caught.
The female in question stepped into the light and Bakura was struck dumb by piercing green eyes. 'Hi,' she said simply, smiling. He cocked an eyebrow. Did the Pharaoh's soldiers usually say 'Hi' to a tomb robber they were about to capture?
The girl almost snickered. 'I'm not a soldier, nor am I going to turn you in. I have been sent to be your guardian, since your profession is quite dangerous. I am telling you, do not go into this tomb. You'll regret it.'
Bakura was shocked. Could this female read minds? Warily he stepped away from the pyramid, into the shadows.
'What are you?' he asked.
She smiled, the nicest smile that had ever been aimed at him.
'I am an eagle demon. My name is Kat. Nice to meet you, Bakura.'
Bakura had been flabbergasted at that. He'd never told anyone his name! (It was not a habit you got into in the tomb robbing trade.) Yet as he found out more about her and her special cause he became more comfortable with the idea. At first he was afraid she'd try to turn him for good. (Gag.) But she told him she wasn't there to control his life, only protect it and she even joined him in his chosen profession. And as he recalled, they had the time of their lives.........
'Shhh! They'll hear us!' Bakura whispered, trying desperately not to laugh.
'I can't help it! It's too funny!' Kat hissed in reply, her giggles muffled by his hand.
'How we got stuck in the treasury I'll never know,' Bakura chuckled, shaking from held-in mirth.
Kat calmed down long enough to say, 'I'll Portal us out. It'll be easier anyway.' She opened a Portal and seeing him hesitate pushed him in ahead of her. Falling from the Portal out of the range of the guards, the two let go and laughed until they were exhausted. Kat sighed. 'C'mon, we should go before they find us.' Bakura hopped up first, pulling Kat to her feet. Losing her balance, she tripped and fell against him. He managed to steady her, and in that moment he'd known that he was falling for her. However, he figured that she'd never feel the same so he kept it within, content with her company for the time being.
Then, about a month later they'd just pulled off a big job. Having enjoyed the fruits of their endeavors, they were off for a walk along the Nile. The Sun was setting, Ra drawing his last light over the world for the day. Kat sighed, quite content from the enormous meal they'd had. Bakura was absently gazing at the calm Nile waters when he felt a hand slip into his. His breath quickened without permission but he did not pull away. When they were a ways away from the city they paused to watch the last rays of the sun disappear. The sky was gorgeous with a red and gold hue, silhouetting the two against it. Seeing her lit up like that, all golden with a soft and tender look, Bakura had suddenly overcome his fear and turned to her.
'Kat?'
'Mmm?'
'I.........I need to tell you something.'
She'd faced him, her fantastic green eyes more stunning than ever.
'I.........I love you Kat.'
He remembered the soft gasp as she covered her mouth with her hand.
'R-really Bakura?'
'Y-yes. I have for a long time.'
He'd lowered his eyes, almost ashamed in the certainty that she'd reject him.) She'd tilted his chin up and gave him the first and gentlest kiss he'd ever experienced. He didn't waste any time in deepening it. Then she pulled away, the look on her face.........so tender and kind, it made his heart melt.
'Bakura. I love you too.'
Those words were his every hope and dream. He felt as though he'd been lifted to Ra's Domain and back. But the moment she said them, something altered in the wind. A dark cloud was suddenly visible on the horizon, growing more menacing by the minute. Kat gasped suddenly in fear. 'Oh no.........'
'What?' Bakura had asked her, tightening his hold on her waist and wondering whether they could get cloud storms in a desert.
Kat looked increasingly agitated. 'Oh no, oh no, I've done something I shouldn't have.' Watching the cloud come nearer, she suddenly turned to him, anxiety in her eyes. 'Please promise me something. No matter what happens, don't do anything stupid. I'll always love you. Okay?'
Bakura was completely confused. 'Um..........'
'Promise me!'
'I promise.'
CRACK!!
A mighty clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning struck the sand. When the flash disappeared, in its place were two hulking demons, black as night. One had scythe-like claws and the other a head shaped like a lizard, with a foreboding look in the eye. Kat bowed her head and walked up to them, ordering Bakura to stay where he was. Despite the wind, he could make out their conversation.
'I didn't mean to. I couldn't help it.'
'You know the rules.'
'Yes, but.........how can it be bad? It's not hurting anyone!'
'You'll have to come with us.'
Suddenly defiant, Kat flung up her head, eyes flashing. 'I don't want to!'
They'd jumped her then, kicking and shrieking. He'd whipped out his dagger with the intent of freeing her but the lizard one had sent a beam of some kind of energy at him, knocking him back and rendering him immobile. He could only watch in agony as the only love he'd ever known was dragged off to her fate. Just before he'd blacked out, he'd heard her call frantically:
'Bakura! I'll love you forever!'
Then she was gone.
When he awoke it was dark, the stars twinkling normally overhead, no trace of the deadly cloud left. The beauty of the night mocked him as his memories returned - they'd carried off his love and what had he done? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Bakura rose in anger, the pain of remorse and loss weighing on his heart until he couldn't take it anymore. He took off in fury, running, running from the pain, not wanting to remember and yet forced to do so.
The first tomb he came to he broke into, disregarding all the safety measures he'd learned to perfect. Ransacking and destroying anything that lay in his path, he still had not vented his anger when they came for him. The guards dragged him, fighting like a mad thing, to the Pharaoh. That was the first time he'd laid eyes on the young ruler - he had a saddened look in his eyes as he declared Bakura's fate.
'He shall be sealed in the Ring. Take him away until it is time.'
As they hauled him off to the dungeons Bakura vaguely realized that the tomb he had been caught in was the one Kat had warned him away from, that moonlit night on which they met.........
*END FLASHBACK*
Bakura suddenly snapped back to reality when he heard Kitty scream. He looked up, and almost screamed himself. Ryou's eyes were glowing vivid green; he had stood up, and had a glowing aura of darkness surrounding him. His eye had narrowed, and looked soulless. He was terrifying. "I've finally found you, little sister" he snarled in a voice that was unmistakably Kriaun's. Kitty gasped. "You monster! Get out of his mind! He's never done anything to you! Ryou! Speak to me!" cried Kitty. "He can't hear you, little sister. His mind is weakened from years of possession" grinned Kriaun. Bakura looked pale, and guilt wrenched at his stomach. Malik looked a little green himself. "Hear me now, sister. I will come for you. And when I do... you be ready" he cackled. "Or maybe I should just kill you NOW, when I know you wont hurt the body im possessing" laughed Kriaun, and he started to advance. Kurry and Skuzzie rose, but Kitty raised a hand. "Mo, I wont have him hurt because of me. Enough of you have suffered. Maybe he should just kill me now. Kriaun! If I go without a fight, will you let them be?" shouted Kitty. "What else would I need them for? You're the one I want" grinned Kriaun. "You have made a foolish decision, I always knew your love of these mortals would be your downfall" grinned Kriaun, as he picked up a knife from a nearby table and advanced of Kitty, who stiffened and glared at Kriaun. "Kitty!" Seto and Skuzzie both made a dive for her, but Riyo's eyes glowed and they were thrown back. "Stay back! He'll kill anyone in his way!' shouted Andraaia. "We can't let him kill her!" shouted Kat. Ryou's featured twisted into a horrid grin. "I've waited a long time for this sister" he said as he raised the knife. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and his arm froze. "What- what is this? Why can't I move?" said Kriaun, confused. A smirk spread across Kitty's face. "He's fighting you off" she said simply. Kriaun shouted with pain. Ryou eye's were flickering back more often.
"I... am sick of being CONTROLLED!" roared Ryou as he shook Kriaun all together and fell to the floor. "Ryou!" shouted Kitty, but then gasped and Kriaun appeared again, in Dragoness.
"Maybe you have won this battle... But Kaiba, your brother was distraught enough I caught him off guard. Be careful what you mumble"
