A week later...
Aina had packed her things, well, what she had was all stuffed in her book bag. Her shoulder healed, with her powers. Seto got into the limousine, yelling his head off at Aina.
"You just had to have Wheelers sister over! Without asking me? Show me what she gave you, what was that paper?" He yelled.
Aina handed Seto a taped paper. "Happy Birthday Mr.Kaiba, sir," she quietly said smiling. Seto snatched the paper. "Didn't I rip this already! You know, your so worthless, if Mokuba hadn't begged me for the past years, you wouldn't be going over to live in the mansion, oh and I forgot, this drawing is terrible, Mokuba could draw better with his eyes closed," Seto said.
He looked at the paper, then Aina watched him crumble it up and throw it at her. Seto smirked. She pouted, without Seto seeing it.
"Could you please tell me why you don't like me?" Aina asked. Seto glared at her with hate. "Shut up! You know already! If I could I would've killed you already!"
They reached the Kaiba Mansion, and climbed out of the car. Seto pulled her into the house, and took her downstairs. He opened a door to reveal a small room. It was better than the last one. It was cleaner, it had a bed, a wood floor, and a closet. And a small bathroom with it.
"Go in and be quiet, you're going to start working as a maid in the mansion tomorrow, that's your uniform, wake up at 5:00 tomorrow," he said and left, slamming the door behind him.
Aina put her bag on the floor and looked around the room. She sat on the bed, and held the uniform. It was a black knee length dress, with a white apron, a white headband, and black high heals; but they weren't so high, just pumps.
Then she took out the crumbled piece of paper. She felt like crying, but she didn't, instead she took out another paper, and drew the drawing more carefully, trying her best to make it look better.
The door opened, it was Mokuba. "Hey Aina! Happy Birthday!" He said happily and jumped on her lap. "Thanks!" She replied. Mokuba looked around. "Do you like the room?" He asked. She nodded.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Here, take these," Mokuba said, reaching inside his jacket. It was another box of colored pencils, but the big pack that came wtih lots of colors. He handed it to Aina.
Then he started explaining the Dueling Tournament Seto was holding. It had to do with duel disks and locator cards.
"And guess what!" Mokuba said happily. "You can come on the blimp for the finals! Seto said no, but I had my ways and he said yes! But you kind of have to work there, is that ok?" Mokuba asked. Aina smiled and nodded.
"Mokie, you better go spend some time with Seto, or he's going to be mad, it is his birthday anyways,"Aina explained. Mokuba pouted, gave her a hug, and left. Aina sighed, and looked at the colored pencils, Mokuba knew how much she loved drawing.
10 minutes later...Knock. Knock.
"Aina? It's Teà and Serenity, can we come in?" Teà asked. Aina opened the door, it was them. She let them in them in, and closed the door.
"Happy Birthday Aina!" They both said.
"How did you guys get in here? Seto would never let you in!" Aina exclaimed. "Oh, Mokuba snuck us in, from the back door," Teà replied. They went into the room.
"Anyways, we all got you presents!" Serenity said happily, opening the backpack on her back. She pulled out a wrapped box, and handed it to Aina.
"Really? Wow! You guys are the best!" She exclaimed. She unwrapped presents, Teà got her a new pair of clothes, and Serenity got her some shoes. Joey and Tristan both got her two journals with locks. And Yugi gave her some Duel Monsters cards.
"Oh yeah! Here is a special one! It's from your admirer!" Teà said. "What do you mean?" Aina asked, taking a small box from Teà. She opened it, there was a charm bracelet.
"I mean from Duke! Oh come on! You know he's in love with you!" Teà said. Aina knew it too, and she did like him back. Serenity and Teà noticed Aina blushing.
"He wanted to give you it in person, but he knew he couldn't, well, what's that?" Teà asked, pointing to the uniform. "Seto said that if I want to stay here, I've got to work as a maid," she said and sighed. Teà and Serenity's eyes widened. "How can your own brother do that to you!" Serenity said. Aina's eyes watered. Teà pulled her into a hug, and Aina started to cry.
"Don't worry, I'll find some way to make him better," Teà whispered. Serenity put her hand on Aina's shoulder, "If he can't see it, I can, you're an amazing sister, and an amazing friend too," she explained.
Aina heard Seto yelling his head off, coming down the hall. "Quickly! Go into the bathroom!" she said. Serenity and Teà went to the bathroom, and took the presents with them.
"AINA! Didn't I say no leaving the room! Why don't you understand!" He yelled, and slammed the door open. Aina quickly backed away. "Come over here!" He yelled.
Aina slowly went torwards her brother. He grabbed her hair, and looked her in the eye. Aina looked into his eyes, full of hate. When he looked into her eyes, they were watery and full if fear.
"Why are you so pathetic! Didn't I tell you no leaving this room! You don't understand and you don't listen! I just want to kill you!" He yelled, and took out a pocket knife.
Aina looked at the sharp knife in fear, was he really going to kill her? Teà and Serenity peeked out of the bathroom. Seto pulled her hair more, and tears flowed down her face. He held the knife up and struck. Aina's eyes snapped open. "W-what did you do?" He stuttered, the impact made her heart skip a beat.
Seto smiled, he had cut her hair. He dropped her hair, and it fell in strands. Aina looked at it in horror. Both girls gasped in the bathroom, but Seto didn't notice. He closed his pocket knife and pushed Aina on the bed.
"Go to sleep, you're a servant now, you have to wake up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, no excuses, take these contacts, I don't want people knowing you're my stupid sister, and change the color of your hair too, there's dye in the bathroom drawer, you're the only female worker hear, so you have a hard days work," he said, and slammed the door behind him.
Teà rushed over to Aina. Aina's eyes were wide, but she didn't blink or speak. "Oh Aina, I'm sorry," Serenity said. Aina shook her head, and headed to the bathroom.
Aina slowly walked to the bathroom, and looked into the mirror. Her hair was still longer than Teà's, but up to her shoulders. It was messed up, worse than before.
She looked in the bathroom drawer. There was a box of navy blue dye, a hair brush, and a pair of scissors. There was a small hairdryer hanging behind the door.
"Umm.. if it's not much trouble, could you guys help me with my hair?" Aina asked, smiling. They both quickly nodded. They dyed her hair, washed it, and Teà cut it, making it a bit shorter, and straightened her bangs, it was nice and straight.
In the end, her hair was beautiful. Teà and Serenity were in awe. "Come on! Can I see it yet!" She asked eagerly. Teà turned her around, and Aina's mouth dropped open. It was amazing.
"You guys... I don't know what to say... this is amazing!" She exclaimed, and hugged them both.
It was getting late, and the girls had to go.
"Well, I'm sorry that your birthday wasn't fun, but I promise that we'll have a good birthday party someday!" Teà said. "Are you kidding! This was the most best birthday I've had since I was seven!" Aina said happily. "Just please don't tell anyone this happened, or that I changed my look. Serenity please don't tell Joey, and Teà don't tell Duke. If Seto knows you guys were here, he would go crazy!" Aina said. They both nodded. "Goodnight!" They all said to each other, and snuck out.
Aina cleaned up her room, hiding the gifts and wrappings. She changed into her pajamas, and sat on the bed.
Aina looked back at the charm bracelet, it had five charms on it. One was a light blue flower, a light blue umbrella, a white daisy, a white heart, and a light blue pencil.
The white heart looked like a mini locket, so Aina opened it up. Inside was a little paper. She took it out, it read:
Happy Birthday Aina!
Sorry I couldn't give this gift to you in person.
I hope you like it!
- Duke Devlin.
Aina smiled and opened one if the lock journals. She wrote:
October 25th; Seto's and My Birthday.
Today was me and my big brother's birthday. It wasn't the best. But thankfully I moved into the Kaiba mansion. I'm still underground though. Seto gave me a better room than the last one. He said I must start working as a servant here if I want to stay. And I'm the only female servant at the Kaiba mansion. He got really mad abd cut my hair. He said to dye it a different color, and wear contacts so people wouldn't know I'm his 'stupid sister'. I still don't know why he hates me so much, or why he treats me like this. The picture I drew him is ruined, he didn't like it. But that's ok! I'm making a newer one! And I hope he likes it! Well, I've got to wake up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow. Goodnight big brother, Mokie!
