Rescueshipping (Shizuka x Kisara)
Somehow, the card had managed to flutter out of Kaiba's suitcase while it was open – a very strange occurrence, seeing how Kaiba took such care with his Duel Monsters cards. Luckily for him, Shizuka happened to be trotting along behind him when it happened, and she managed to rescue the runaway card before it landed it a puddle.
She breathed a sigh of relief. If one of Kaiba's cards had landed in a puddle, she wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near him. She turned it over, and her eyes widened. Oh, yes, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to be around if this one was ruined.
The shiny holographic surface of the Blue Eyes White Dragon stared impassively up at her. Despite its glaring, growling face, there was something about the card that felt...calm. It didn't seem as sharp-edged or fierce as it did whenever Kaiba played it in battle. Right now, the great beast was at rest, and it didn't feel dangerous at all. It felt...Shizuka blushed a little at this...like a motherly presence wrapping around her. It was strange, to have such feelings come around her from a little piece of paper.
But the longer she stared at it, the less she saw a dragon, and the more she saw a sleeping girl...
"What are you doing with that?"
Shizuka jumped out of her reverie. Kaiba was glaring down at her.
"Oh, this fell out," she said, holding out the card. "It was going to go into a puddle."
Kaiba snatched the card back, glanced at its face, and looked startled for a moment. Then he angrily tucked the card safely back into his suitcase, and stalked away. Shizuka shrugged helplessly as he stalked away. She started to turn away – but then, for a moment, she thought she saw someone.
A tall, willowy girl, with hair so blue and metallic that it almost looked white. She walked silently beside Kaiba, bare feet soundless against the pavement. She hesitated for a moment, and turned to meet Shizuka's eyes.
Those beautiful blue eyes sparkled with inner warmth. She put a finger to her lips and winked at Shizuka, before mouthing, 'thank you.'
Then she turned, and continued to walk beside Kaiba, who was completely oblivious.
Shizuka couldn't help but let a smile come to her face. The woman...whoever, or whatever she had been...had felt so warm and comforting...
