It was Friday. Luckily you only had to go to school two days this week. Then the weekend you could spend getting a good feel of the rest of the town. You did your normal morning routine and headed downstairs. You were about to head out the door and when your mother stopped you. "Where were you last night?" she asked. "I called dad and told him I was with some new friends last night" you explained. "Well I don't remember getting my permission." You starred at your mother wondering why she was acting this way. "Next time this happens, it will be the last time." With that, she walked into the other room before you could protest. 'Wow what was up with that?' you thought. You shrugged it off and headed towards school. The day went by so fast. Before you knew it the end of the day was here. You grabbed your things and got up to leave your last class and noticed Seto ahead of you. He opened the door to leave and noticed you behind him, so he held the door for you to come through. "Thank you" you told him with a smile. He nodded and went towards his locker. Your locker was close to his so you both started walking the same direction. Your locker was a few down from his and you started putting your stuff away. Next to yours was a girl you recognized from the group of girls chasing Seto yesterday. She slammed her locked closed and looked over at you. "A word of warning stay away from him if you know what's good for you" she explained angrily. "Excuse me?" you asked. "Seto. He's mine. Don't go near him or even try anything. Because I will know." "I'm sorry but last I checked, you are not the boss of me nor Seto and based off what I saw yesterday, he has absolutely no interest in you" you replied with a smirk. The girl gave you a venomous glare and you ignored it and went to walk around her to leave. The girl wasn't going to let the comment go and stuck her leg out and tripped you. You were about to go crashing down to the ground when someone caught you. You looked up to see Seto staring down at you. Apparently, he heard the whole conversation and proceeded to glare at the girl. "Connie give it up. You are wasting your time" he said calmly to the girl. Connie looked heartbroken but before she could say anything, Seto set you up straight and turned to leave. You followed him out and rushed up to his side, "Thank you. I normally trip over my own feet so that was different" you said with a laugh. You looked at Seto to see him starring at a limousine with a boy with raven hair standing outside of it. The boy ran over to Seto, "Hey Seto! Ready to go?" he asked. "Oh, who is this?" "Hi there. I'm Mira. Nice to meet you" you say while holding your hand out. "Hi. My name's Mokuba. This is my big brother." You noticed both brothers' wearing the same necklace. You wondered what was inside of it. "Come Mokuba we are going to be late" said Seto as he headed towards the limo. "Bye Mira!" exclaimed Mokuba. You waived goodbye to them and headed home.
FF the next day
You decided to take a walk around town. Your mother was on the warpath about the whole move. She hated the idea off the start, but your father got a promotion and it moved you here. You were in your own thoughts when you noticed you walked into a bad part of town. There were broken windows, graffiti, and a bunch of people walking around that looked like trouble. It was starting to get late. You turned to head back in the direction your originally came from only to run right smack into someone. "Can I help you miss?" asked some random guy. "Oh no thanks. Just heading home" you answered as calmly as you could. You tried to walk around the man, but he proceeded to block your path again. "Can you please move?" you asked nicely. "Sorry but it's been a pretty boring day. Maybe you could change that?" You started to back up, but the man grabbed your arm. With that you did an uppercut on the mans elbow making him loose his grip and drop to the ground. You tried to run away but the man grabbed your ankle making you fall to the ground. You fell on your arm and you knew instantly there was some damage. You turned and kicked the guy as hard as you could in the face. With that you got up and began running. The guy got up and began chasing after you. You kept running and noticed a street up ahead. You didn't have time to stop and check both directions, so you just hoped no one was coming down the street. Well your hopes were crushed, and headlights blinded you and tires were soon screeching to a stop. Luckily the car wasn't going very fast and was able to stop before you hit you. The doors on both sides opened to reveal Mokuba and Seto. You were so glad to see them, but your thoughts got interrupted when the man from before caught up to you. He grabbed you by your hurt arm and you screamed out in pain. "Get off me!" Before you knew it, the man was on the ground and Seto was in front of you. 'Is he actually protecting me?' you thought. "You heard the lady. Now get lost" Seto said in a very deadly tone. The man took the hint and took off. "Thank you Seto" you said while still clutching your injured arm. Seto turned and began examining your arm. "Do you need to go to the hospital?" he asked. "Ha over this? Nah. It's just sore. But I can move it, so it's not broken. Thank you for saving me." "I guess we are even now" Seta responded with a smirk. It took you a second to figure out what he was talking about then you realized he was referring to helping him with those girls. "I guess we are" you replied with a smile. You started to look around and realized you didn't know the way home. After everything that happened, you forgot what streets you had gone down. "Hey you guys know where Sunro street is?" you asked the brothers? "Oh yeah it's just a few blocks from here that way" explained Mokuba and he pointed down a road. "Thanks!" you smiled and waved goodbye to the boys and turned to leave. "Mira. Let us give you a ride. It's late and that guy may come back" Seto offered. You instantly stopped and realized that was a good idea. "Thank you very much." You got inside the limo. Mokuba sat in the middle and it was very quiet. You decided to break the silence by asking about the guys. "So, I've been told you develop video games and other designs?" You were answered with a simple nod. "I also read that you are one of the top duelists. You faced off against Yugi Moto." This caught Seto's attention. He turned to look you. When you first met Seto, there was no denying why he had a fan club. He was very handsome. So, you did your research. No harm there. It's not internet stalking if it's public. "Hm. Next time, there will be a new King of Games" Seto said with complete determination. "It will be a match to see I'm sure." The limo soon stopped in front of your house. "Thank you so much for the ride home" you thanked the two brothers and opened the door to leave. You stopped when you noticed your mother waiting at the door looking furious. 'Oh no' you thought. "Is everything alright, Mira?" asked Seto. "Uhm yeah. Sorry about that. See you guys later. You got out of the car and proceeded into the house. You turned to see the limo pull away and sighed. "Where have you been?" your mother asked angrily. "I went for a walk and ran into some trouble. Then Seto Kaiba helped me out and gave me a ride home." "Seto Kaiba? Why would Seto Kaiba give you lift home?" asked your mom. "It was late, and he didn't want to chance that guy coming back" you explained. This was going nowhere. "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." You went up the stairs and your mother said no more to you. You got undressed and stepped into the shower. You let the hot water just pour over you. Your mind drifted to what happened today. Of all the people, Seto Kaiba was the last person you thought would come to your rescue. You were so grateful he did though. If he hadn't shown up, who knows what might have happened.
*FLASHBACK*
"Let me go, Tim!" "You broke my rules, bitch. Now you pay the price." You screamed for help as Tim started to pull your clothes off.
*END FLASHBACK*
You got out of the shower and went to bed but you were plagued by memories of why you moved to Japan in the first place. But it was behind you now. This was a new start from everything. It took hours before you finally managed to fall asleep.
*SETO'S POV*
You stared out the window as you think about the events of the evening. Never did you think you would be saving Mira's life. If Roland hadn't taken that detour, Mira might have been hurt. But what you couldn't understand was…why is this bothering you so much? Seeing that man grab her immediately made you run to her aide. Mira is the first girl to not go crazy at the mere sight of you. Not even knowing who you were or knowing exactly was going on, she helped you the first time met you. Then the next day was a completely normal day. She didn't try to talk to you or bother you at all. Something about Mira is different. Something that has had an impact on you. When she got out of the limo, something about her mother frightened her. She tried to hide it, but you saw right through it. But why are you even thinking about it? Why is this bothering you?
