i have HAD it with this! she's gonna die, don't worry about that! my god! she's gonna die, be dead, not breath, be limp, however you wanna put it, she's gonna die... and the reason is because i wanted her to die, but now i think i'll just let her live. this chapter was SUPPOSED to be the chapter were she dies... but it looks like she'll live until the next chapter at least... oh, and change of plot, she'll be a cousin of the Kaiba brothers from when they were younger, before they got adopted into the Kaiba family... so the braclet will be explained later.
---Duel Academy's main duel arena---
She stood stock still. Why was it she was always dragged into things? She looked around and hoped someone would shoot her in the head so she wouldn't have to humiliate herself infront of the whole school... and no one answered her plea, they all just stared back at her, and she felt like she should be dead...
Banner had bailed at the last second and was seated in the stands with Jaden and Chazz, not paying that much attention to the duel, since he was assuming her opponent would be able to beat her. He smiled at Jaden.
"I don't thinkthatRa girlis gonna be ok... She does seem to be nervouse..." Jaden said, looking down. "She's probably gonna loose! That'd be awsome to see a Slifer kid kick a Ra kids butt all over the place! Dontcha think, Chazz?"
Chazz stared down at Haruka. "She does look familiar... how long has she been here?"
The duel started.
"She's only been here two or three days." Banner gasped when Pharaoh hopped up into his lap. "Hi there, Pharaoh." He began petting his cat and he smiled again, thinking of something. "She was in the rain on her first day. I'm sure that she's got some skills in order to be accepted here at Duelist Academy... Come to think of it, she's got an odd name for a girl." Banner smiled as he watched Haruka loose her first five hundred life points. "Or, maybe she was just put her to distract us from reality."
"More like distract you," Chazz and Jaden said in unison watching their teacher.
Crowler smiled. "That no-name girl is going to be put in her place now!" He was gleeful about this whole thing. "I hope she goes away soon! I'll be sure to be sorrowful for a while when this girl leaves, that way it looks convinsing! Hee hee! Then I'll just have her come back after a year or two of her being gone... what a wonderful plan this is."
Chazz stared at Crowler. "Er, what'd you have in mind, exactly?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Banner said, his voice stern. "She does have talent, or esle, why is she here?"
"She acts like a brat! And look at that attire! She wears jeans underneath her skirt! That's outragious! Not to mention breaking the dress code, severly, and she comes to the boys dorm and walks around like she's a boy! It's unnatural! And she seemes to have befriended you quite a bit, Banner."
Banner suddenly smirked. "Just admit it, your jelous of her. She may be more talanted than you, she may be more prettier than you, she may even be better at giving lectures than you, so you can admit it, your jelous, and I won't keep hanging it over your head..." 'All and all, I'd rather try and keep out of it.' Banner watched as Haruka lost another thousand life points. He gave a soft whistle. "She's down by almost two thousand life points! Not very good a duelist if you ask me. Makes me wonder, what talent did the headmaster see in her?"
"Perhaps it's because she may have lied about her last name. Could that be it?" It was Alexis. "I think she lied. There's no way Kaiba had any siblings. I mean sure, they have the most advanced technology, but they also have a lot of people who use them as a way of getting waht they want. I mean, sure, she's got the look of Mokuba Kiba, but is she really a Kaiba?"
"Who knows. But her bracelet says that she's a Kaiba..."
Crowler sudden gasped. Everyone looked at the duel arena. Haruka had drawn Exodia... With a little monster on the side that was just sitting there. At first, they all thought that it looked like the Celtic Guardian, but it was the Graceful Charity. She granted Haruka three cards, to which Haruka looked baffled and then upset. She quickly brushed it away and put down two cards.
Banner and Chazz whistled. "She's got Exodia."
Alexis sighed. "I bet she stole that."
Jaden laughed. "I bet she did! I mean, I thought Yugi was the only one with Exodia! I bet she stole it from him!"
Haruka lost the duel when her Exodia was destroyed. That was when it was revealed. She had put a spell card that masked her monster and put it on the Mystical Elf, who made her loose the duel. Haruka simply smiled and took the blow like it was nothing, while in her head she was screaming 'How the h-ll'd I loose? Did that really just happen? F-ck-ng h-ll! I can't believe I lost!' She shook her opponents hand and stepped down, ignoring the headmaster.
"Definately a sore looser." Alexis commented. "I bet she's a sourpuss because she lost... I bet she'd never be able to hold her own in a brawl. No way she's related to the Kaiba brothers. I mean, I think Seto could hold his own in a fight, she doesn't seem to be the kind who can hold her own ina fight." Alexis crossed her arms. "She acts like a brat. I agree with Crowler, she should get a taste of her own medicine if she keeps lying through her teeth like that!"
"Lie through my teeth?" She was around the corner, listening to them. She had been standing there throughout Alexis' speach. "So now I can label myself. I'm a liar..." She sighed and dropped her head. "Why does everyone hate me? Or should I just stop fooling myself in thinking my name is really 'Kaiba'? But they said that my blood matched theirs..." She lifted up her bracelet. "Or am I really just some by-product? Am I real? Can't someone shoot me in the head so I don't have to deal with all this? I know no one will hear me because no one listens to a by-product like me..." She sighed and shook off her tears. "I'm not even a good duelist, what am I, of all people, doint in a place like this?"
Banner walked around the corner and stopped. In his shock, he almost dropped Pharaoh. "Haruka!" He smiled. "Not very good at dueling are we?"
She dropped her head. "No. I really suck. I can't even figure out how to use half the cards they gave me." She looked at her deck. "They said it was the exact deck for me and my personality... but I suck." Her head dropped. She raised her hand. "No, don't say it. Don't say 'Well, you can do better', like everyone else says." She dropped her hand. "Just admit it, I suck."
"You don't suck, you just need practice."
She looked at him. "I hate you."
