Hey guys! Here, I have another update for you.
Kiba sighed, feeling bored without her 'partner in crime'. Asami, the day after the bombing incident, had called her and told her how her brothers were being particularly protective of her at the moment, refusing to let her out of their sight, especially since she had promised to try and be more careful after the Burger World incident. Kiba, to an extent, could understand the Kaiba brother's reasoning but at the same time, she thought it was a bit extreme considering everything they would get up into. Kiba was so lost in thought that she did even notice that Grandpa had given her a pack of cards until Yugi and Tea had opened theirs. Kiba blinked. Once. Twice. She looked down opening the pack immediately. She blinked a third time when she saw what she had.
"What did you get Kiba?" Yugi asked turning to her. Kiba held out her cards, mind blank.
"Violet Hekate!" Yugi exclaimed seeing the card.
"What?" Grandpa said shocked.
"Is it rare?" Tea asked looking at it.
"It's not just rare! This card is one of the three witch sisters!" Yugi explained holding up three fingers. "It's a rare card that you won't see just anywhere." Kiba looked at her card, wondering how she had gotten it when it was suppose to have been Tea's.
"It's also the first time I've seen it." Grandpa put in. Kiba held it out to Yugi once more.
"I'll give it to you then."
"Eh? You're really giving this to me?"
"Yeah, if it's as rare as you say, it'd be better in your hands." Yugi took it and at once began to jump around cheering. Kiba smiled at that and laughed a bit. Her brother sure could be a kid sometimes, though she had no right to talk since she could be too.
"Thank you Kiba! I'll cherish it!" Kiba just nodded to Yugi's words.
Kiba looked around, trying to see if she could spot Asami. So far the girl still hadn't been to school and while she understood a few days, but it had been almost a week since the incident and Kiba had not seen nor heard from Asami since the phone call. She sighed when she realized the girl wasn't here once again.
"Love Letter!" Joey and Tristan shouted, effectively bringing Kiba back to the current present.
"Hey, I didn't really see; whose shoe locker did it fall from?" Tea asked, her left eyebrow twitching slightly.
"Mine of course!" The two males cried out doing a bit of a jig as they fought for the letter. "Don't be stupid! Mine! Mine!" The two fell over, the letter being pushed over towards Kiba, who grabbed it out of the air.
"It's neither of yours! It's for Yugi-nii!" Kiba told them as she held out the letter to her brother, ignoring the shocked and surprised looks on everyone's faces.
"For me?" Yugi questioned. Kiba nodded and he frowned in thought but took it anyways.
Kiba blinked as she suddenly found herself in the park standing next to Miho and Tea. Man, she was really spacing out. She watched as Joey and Tristan crouched low in the bushes as they spied on Yugi, who was sitting on a bench right across from them.
"Hey, don't push!" Tristan whispered.
"You bad-mouthed her so much, yet you still came!" Tea told him angrily.
"I want to see her just once!"
"A female Franken!" Joey put in with Tristan agreeing.
"Yup, Yup." Kiba rolled her eyes at them. "Here she comes! That's her!"
"Move, I can't see!" Joey whispered, pushing Tristan's head down.
"That school uniform." Miho whispered.
"Black Rose Girls Academy." Tea put in. Kiba watched as Risa passed by them and briefly wondered if she noticed them. She, Tea and Miho were out in the open with nothing hiding them while Joey and Tristan were on their knees half revealed, half hidden with the latter holding a small branch in his hand. It would be pretty hard not to notice them but the girl kept walking on.
"That rich girls school?"
"I can't see the face!" Risa reached Yugi and they could finally see her face.
"Cute!" Miho gushed. Kiba watched them talk and saw the girl hand Yugi the wrapped package she had been carrying. Her brother accepted it and then Kiba saw the girl reach out towards the millennium puzzle. Risa had barely even touched it before she suddenly pull her hand back as if she had been burned and turned away from Yugi. Once again Kiba's curiosity was peaked. She didn't know what exactly made Risa react like that or why she did but she wondered if it had to do with the Ki the puzzle gave off. Asami had told her that she could sense the shadow magic of the millennium puzzle whenever Yami took over and was curious about how Asami would react to touching the puzzle. Would she, like Risa, draw back as if burned? Would she be able to sense Yami's presence within it? Or would there simply be no reaction at all? Kiba noticed Risa had left and that Miho, Tristan and Joey were on the floor where they had fell over and that Yugi had noticed them. She came out of 'hiding' and went to stand behind the bench as Miho insisted they open the present Risa gave Yugi.
"A summer vest!" Miho exclaimed once the present was opened. She held it up. "Wow! This is hand knit!" She turned it towards Kiba. "It's full of love right?!" Kiba didn't answer.
"How embarrassing." She heard Yugi mutter before Joey and Tristan announced they were going home already. She watched them walk off dejectedly before looking over at Yugi, just as Tea did the same.
"What are you going to do Yugi?" Tea asked. "That Risa girl is pretty serious. Are you going to date her?"
"I only met her for the first time today. I don't know."
"Then you're turning her down, right? Yeah. That fits you, Yugi."
"Tea. Could it be jealousy?" Miho asked.
"What are you saying?! I'm worried about Yugi as a friend! It's only natural!" Tea exclaimed, turning and getting into the girl's face.
"No need to be so angry!" Miho defended.
Kiba looked up when the door opened and Tea came in.
"Yugi, how are you?" The girl asked before catching sight of Risa.
"Hello." Risa greeted.
"You. Why are you here?" Kiba rested her head on her arms, which rested on the back of Yugi's desk chair. To be honest Kiba didn't want Risa here either and not just because she knew Risa was trouble. Yugi had woken up with his cold and she had taken care of him like a good sister until Risa had shown up and all but demanded that she take over once she found out Yugi was sick. With no reason to disagree, short of telling Risa, she was on to her, Kiba had to agree and had since then taken up watch while sitting at Yugi's desk.
"Please be quiet. Right now he just fell asleep." Risa said as she wiped Yugi's brow. "This house doesn't seem to have any cold medicine."
"That's no good! I'll go buy some!" Tea said before running off. Kiba was about to call her back and tell her that she had gotten some yesterday but stopped herself when she saw Risa get up.
"Please excuse me for a minute." Kiba nodded and watched the girl leave and close the door behind her. Kiba took over the care of Yugi for a while before Risa came back with some medicine in hand and Joey following behind her. Kiba greeted Joey while Risa woke Yugi up so that he could drink his medicine that she poured him in a cup. Yugi was groggy at first but slowly woke up more and sat up, greeting Joey and thanking Risa before taking the cup and drinking some just as the door opened and Tea came back in, a bag of medicine in her hand as well.
"I'm back. Yugi, medicine. Huh?"
"Ah, Tea." Yugi greeted as he gave the now empty cup back to Risa.
"I already bought medicine." Risa told Tea.
"When did you...?" Tea questioned but stopped and noticed Joey standing besides Kiba, who once more sat at Yugi's desk.
"I just met her there." Joey said with a little salute before turning to look at Yugi. "I heard Yugi was sick."
"I'm fine." The boy protested. "It's not that bad."
"I heard you were Yugi's friend." Risa said before looking down. "Oh. Out of ice."
"I'll go buy some." Tea said before running off again. Kiba sighed when Risa excused herself and left before looking out the window and up at the sky while Joey and Yugi got into a conversation about duel monsters. Kiba ignored her surroundings until Tea came back looking very angry and Kiba realized she must have spaced out for much longer then she should have.
"What are you trying to do?!" Tea demanded.
"What?" Joey asked
"What's wrong, Tea?" Tristan put in
"That girl pushed me down the supermarket's escalator!"
"Me?" Risa asked looking and sounding way to innocent and nonchalant if you asked Kiba.
"Don't pretend you don't know!"
"What are you saying?" Joey asked
"Risa has been with us the whole time." Tristan added.
"Eh? That can't be..." Tea turned to Yugi. "Is that true Yugi?" The boy nodded and Tea turned to Kiba, who had remained silent. The girl gave a nod of agreement but narrowed her eyes slightly at Risa's back, knowing one of her sisters had pushed Tea. Now she may not like Tea much but only she was allowed to mess with her.
"Don't worry about it. I have a face that you can see anywhere." Risa said.
"You're not badly hurt, right?" Joey asked
"But!" Tea shouted ready to argue that that wasn't the point but Risa stood up, stopping their fight.
"I'm going home now."
"Already?"
"Can't you stay a bit more?"
"Yugi, I have a favor to ask." Risa said ignoring Joey and Tristan's questions.
"Huh?"
"Um...this may be brazen of me, but...can I have something of Yugi's to always have on me?" Kiba sat up straighter.
"Ah, but..."
"What's that?" Risa asked pointing to Yugi's deck on his desk. Kiba wanted to shift to the side to hide it but knew it would give her up to Risa so instead she grabbed Yugi's deck and handed it to the boy who then spread out the cards on his bed.
"Ah, that. It's cards used in the game Duel Monsters." Yugi explained.
"There are so many types! Ah!" Risa picked up Violet Hakate and Kiba tensed. "This is pretty. What a nice card. Can I have this to remember you?"
"Ah, I'm sorry but that's the only one that's off limits because it's something I received from someone important to me." Kiba blinked before smiling. She knew that Yugi thought of her as a good friend and sister but she didn't think she'd be so important to him. "But...you can have any of the others."
"No. Nevermind." Risa said, her bangs covering her eyes. She walked to the door and paused. "See you again. Goodbye." With that she left.
"Uh-oh, you got Risa angry." Joey told Yugi.
"Not my fault." Tristan commented.
"Well you guys were completely seduced. How unsightly." Tea scolded. Kiba rolled her eyes at her friends before turning slightly towards Yugi when she heard him whisper an apology to Risa.
Kiba was panicking. She, Yugi and Tea were in the three sister's house after being chased down when Risa's plan to steal Violet Hacate was foiled. Like in the episode, Risa had gone back to search for the card and when Tea, Tristan and Joey arrived, they had been able to escape her and go downstairs before being confronted by Risa's sister at the front door. Tristan had stayed behind to try and give them time to escape through the backdoor but Risa's other sister was there. Joey had then tackled the girl and shouted at them to run, which they did but they were cornered by the three sisters after a while. Risa had then proceeded to steal the millennium puzzle and now they were here. The reason Kiba was panicking was because she knew Kaiba was suppose to save Yugi in the episode but they hadn't met him so he had no reason to and Asami wouldn't come or try and convince her brother to come because she didn't know what was happening.
"Yugi!" Tea's shout brought Kiba out of her thoughts and she moved to the other side of Yugi. She put a hand to his forehead and shook her head.
"No good, his fever's back." Kiba's mind raced with possible ways they could escape but none of them would be successful. They'd be caught before they could even make it that far.
"This duel is as good as over."
"At last the three witch sisters will be together."
"When will it be? That we three can be seen again."
"Calm the disturbance."
"Winning and loosing battle."
"And then..." The three sisters said as Kiba and Tea looked at them.
"Then..." A new voice sudden said as footsteps were heard coming their way. "...Let's finish this before sunset."
"What?!" The sisters cried as the voice laughed slightly. Everyone turned towards the hallway, Kiba's eyes narrowing slightly as she recognized that voice.
"Lines from Macbeth's Three Witches? It truly fits you." Stepping out from the shadows was Seto Kaiba. "Kageyama Three Sisters."
"Who are you?" Tea asked. Kaiba glance at her as he looked at Yugi.
"Yugi Muto. These three sisters are famous in the Duel Monsters World. They will use any method for obtaining cards they want."
"Kaiba!" One of the sisters said.
"Well, why not let me take over for this duel?" Kaiba asked as he moved over to where Kiba, Yugi and Tea were.
"You?"
"If you win you can have all my cards." The tall male put down his briefcase on the table and Kiba blinked, wondering if he had that the whole time. She hadn't noticed it before. "And...I'll give you an advantage. The Violet Hakate card...will be added to your deck." The three sisters laughed, no doubt think that Kaiba was making a mistake by letting them use the card. Kiba narrowed her eyes at them but said nothing in favor of helping Yugi get up so that Kaiba could sit across from the three sisters. He may be a total douche sometimes but since he was here to save their butts this time, she would at least allow him the seat.
"Hey, Kiba are you sure..." Yugi whispered as he looked the mysterious male over. Kiba understood what he meant and gave him a reassuring look. Kaiba sat down and placed down his deck.
"This is a favorable situation, right?"
"Okay. You better not regret this."
"Duel." Kaiba drew five cards and looked at them before choosing one and showing it to them. "First Cyclops. Attack points 1200."
"Fool. It's no match for Hekate!" Their Hekates attack, burning Kaiba Cyclops. "First we defeat Kaiba...then we three sisters will stand on the top of the Duel Monsters World!"
"We'll see about that. Next..." Kaiba choose another card and showed it to them. Kiba smirked slightly when she saw which card it was. "Blue Eyes White Dragon. Attack points 3000. Duel Monsters most powerful card."
"Th-this is the rumored-"
"-Blue Eyes White Dragon?!"
"But we have a trump card!" The sisters exclaimed. "Violet Hekate! When the three witches combine...the legendary Gorgon is born. And her attack power is...the same as Blue Eyes White Dragon's! But this is a forest field. It raises the witches power. Even if they strike each other down, Gorgon will not die." Yugi looked over at their mysterious savior in worry.
"Really?"Kaiba looked down at his deck and drew a card. "Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
"What?!"
"Blue Eyes White Dragon..."
"Two of them?!" The three sisters yelled surprised. Yugi gasped and Kiba smirked.
'Not so tough now huh?' She thought smugly.
"He did it!" Yugi cheered when Kaiba's blue eyes defeated Gorgon.
"We lost..."
"It can't be!"
"The three Hekate sisters..." Yugi turned to their savior, a confused look on his face.
"Kaiba..." Yugi said remembering the three sisters calling him that. "But why?" Kaiba uncrossed his arms and stood up.
"Do not be mistaken. I'm not here for you." He started to walk away and Kiba glared at his back. "I'm here as a favor to someone."
"Kiba! Phone!" Grandpa called from downstairs.
"Coming!" Kiba rushed down and grabbed the phone, thanking grandpa before answering. "Hello?"
"Hey Kiba." Came Asami's voice from the other end.
"Asami!"
Asami smiled when she heard Kiba yell her name.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah, Kaiba saved us last minute." Asami's smile was now one of relief. "By the way, you wouldn't happen to know why Kaiba, when we haven't met him nor has Yugi beat him in a duel." Asami scratched the back of her head as she laughed nervously.
"Well..."
-Flash Back Time!-
Asami was sitting in the car, besides her brother, staring out the window. She saw familiar figure crossing the street and called for the driver to stop. She ignored the look her brother sent her, in favor of opening the window to get a better look.
'Yugi.' She thought before opening the door and getting off. She saw he was walking with a girl in a black sailor suit uniform and racked her memory for the episode that was no doubt taking place in front of her.
"That woman..." Asami turned and saw that her brother had gotten off and was staring at the girl next to Yugi. "There's no doubt about it." The episode finally came to Asami and her eyes widened as she spun back towards the two retreating figures. She paled slightly when she remembered a certain detail and immediately turned to her brother. "Seto, I need to ask a favor."
-End of Flash Back-
"...and you know the rest." Asami finished.
"So basically you got Kaiba to show up and save us after seeing what episode it was?"
"Yup!" The two of them broke into laughter.
"Well thank you."
"No problem. Oh yeah! You'll be happy to know that I'm going to be going back to school tomorrow."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, anyways, I gotta go but I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?"
"Mmm, Yeah."
And that's the end of chapter 11. Remember, I love reading the comments so please feel free to leave one. I'll be back with another update soon. Bye! ^~^/)
