A/N this may be a bit jumpy again also long just as I get some background in for Kisara. But will try to make it flow as best as I can

Chapter 3

"Kisara?"

How the hell did I get here? She thought

That morning

Kisara had woken up with the whole New Year, new me speech running through her head, trying to calm her nerves about starting again in a new school. As she looked around the tiny apartment that would hopefully be her home, she thought about how she had ended up here.

She can still remember the officer coming to her door that night, telling her the news. Her parents were dead, car accident they had told her. It had been raining earlier in the day; apparently they had slipped and had gone over a bridge into a fast flowing river.

The devastation wasn't felt until much later on, not until the social worker had came to collect her, then it became real, she was an orphan. The feeling of being so alone in that orphanage was something that she had never felt before. It only made matters worse when the bullying started. Cause of her looks the white hair, pale complexion and her ocean blue eyes; she was excluded even more from the others. So she had kept to herself, throwing her time and efforts into hobbies and more importantly school work. She had to prove to herself that she could make it on her own.

Rina Matsuki, one of the social workers, had seen the determination in the 10-year olds eyes. So made an effort to help her achieve her dreams, encouraged and scolded when need be. Before she knew it she had become the best at everything she had put her mind to from art to astro-physics. She became cocky with her new found confidence in life.

Rinahad felt sad that the young girl had grown so much whilst at the orphanage and yet no one was adopting her. So when she had turned 18 during the summer holiday and was told that she had to leave. Rinahad given her some money and told her that there were some cheap places in Domino City that she could rent. When Kisara had gone to said places she was told that her money was enough for a deposit but she would have to start paying rent in a month.

So she had spent the last 3weeks going to job interviews, she had felt that one had gone alright but they said they would be in touch and they never did. So her she was about to start at a new school and most likely will be homeless before the school week had ended.

With a sigh she pushed those thoughts out of her mind and went to get ready, she knew that she would get looks, she always did but damn them if she wasn't going to at least look good. By the time she was ready to leave the house, she realised that she was going to be late, and on her first day nonetheless.

She knew that if she wanted to get there at least on time then she would have to run. It only took her 15mins from her apartment to get to school; she made it just on time. As she reached the main entrance she remembered that she had to meet with the principle to get her schedule and get the general run down of the school rules.

"No after school Jobs?" proclaimed Kisara

"That is correct" replied principle "We believe that an afterschool job, means less time for studies"

"Okay then" Kisara said dejectedly, not wanting to let anyone know that she had no money and needed to pay rent by the end of the week. With that over with the principle gave her, her timetable and told her which homeroom to go to. He said that it didn't matter if she was late to homeroom today but to ensure that she was on time normally.

When she found the correct classroom, there was some student being told off.

"Jonouchi" said the lady at the front of the room, she assumed to be the classes tutor "you have something to say?"

The student in trouble just shook his head whilst the teacher carried on. She thought that this was a good time to introduce herself, so with confidence knocked on the door.

"Can I help you?" asked the teacher

"Yes I hope so I'm the new student" she said politely wanting to make a good first impression

"Oh yes I was wondering where you had gotten off to" she replied

"Yes no-one told me where I was meant to go, I had to make my way here and I must have gotten lost on the way" she said

"Well if you would like to introduce yourself and we'll find someone who is willing to show you around"

"I'm Kisara Kanou" she began "and I don't need showing around I think I can figure it out on my own thank you though miss..."

"Tenshin" filled in the teacher "would you like to take a seat miss Kanou"

"Kisara is fine" she corrected as she sat near the windows, every guy was staring at her but she was used to it.

With her introduction over the teacher carried on and took the register, she vaguely heard her say something about them able to talk between themselves before she was crowded by the other students.

"Is that your natural hair colour?"

"Where are you from?"

"Are you single?" the last question took her by surprise, not expecting such bluntness. Before she could respond though there was a raised voice.

"ENOUGH" she turned to see who had spoken up for her, and saw a tall student with brown hair and cobalt eyes glowering at the crowd around her. The bell had gone in that moment and in a blur the stranger had picked up a book off of the floor, his stuff and had left the room.

She looked around the room and everyone was stunned not moving from their spots. She was curious as to why a simple comment can cause such a disruption but paid it no attention as she looked at her schedule for her first lesson; gym.

She had always hated gym; she felt that gym was a waste of time and that she could be spending the time more wisely. So as she got changed into her gear, she wondered what this schools coach was like.

"Ms. Kanou?" asked a voice behind her

"Yes?" replied Kisara "And you are?"

"I'm your coach; Mr. Morita" the tall man answered

"Oh I'm so sorry sir, I didn't realise"

"It's okay" he said with a smile "I came to tell you what Gym lessons here at Domino High are like"

"Okay" indicating for Mr. Morita to carry on

"Well for the first half an hour you will do laps of the field, then you may do your own thing" this got Kisara's hopes up, to leave early.

"But" He carried on "You must do something that is sport related"

This quickly dashed Kisara's ideas for the lesson; she decided then that she would just do laps for the lesson, ensuring that no-one would have a chance to talk to her. She saw a group of girls making their way over to her; she recognised them from homeroom this morning.

She quickly started her laps she didn't feel like a barrage of questions first thing in the morning and seriously doubted any of them could catch up, she may hate gym but that doesn't mean she wasn't any good. Before long it was time to get changed and head to her second lesson, she felt that this was going to be a long day.

It took her a while to reach the right room for her next lesson but got there in the end. She was late but apparently not the latest as she saw a few other students enter.

"Okay settle down now class, let's begin with what we will be doing this year in Chemistry" began the teacher "I know that we have a new student but that doesn't mean that we can take it easy"

Kisara liked this teacher he got down to business, he quickly had the class doing the work set, and answered any queries anyone may have, if it was relevant to the work. After sometime had past he had approached her desk.

"Morning, I'm Mr. Sayuki" he began cheerily "You're Ms. Kanou, correct?"

"Yes that's me" she replied with a smile, liking the chemistry teacher more and more "But Kisara is fine"

"Well Kisara, is there anything you need to know about?"

"Chemistry related?" asked Kisara

"Not necessarily, anything about school or particularly students?" he asked emphasising the last one, Kisara looked at him confused but asked about school work and how things are run. When break time came round she felt that she knew enough about the school to make her way round to places and more importantly be on time.

Mr. Sayuki had told her that during lunch time she had to stay in the cafeteria but during breaks she can go anywhere on the school. She felt like exploring during this time, just to get more of a bearing of the schools layout. She was shocked out of her thoughts at her phone ringing, she quickly answered in case it was emergent.

"Kisara Kanou?" asked the voice on the other end

"Speaking" she replied

"This is Mrs. Kudara"

"Pardon me?" asked Kisara not recognising the name

"You applied to be a maid for my employer last week, you had an interview?" she said trying to get the young girl to remember.

"Oh yes I am so sorry I forgot I've had a lot on my plate this past week" She said trying to ensure that she didn't make a bad impression

"Well, you have made it to the next stage of our hiring process" explained Mrs. Kudara "You will have to have an interview with my employer on Saturday to see if you're a good fit"

Saturday? Panicked Kisara I need a job before then or I'm going to be evicted

"Err can we move up the time?" asked Kisara hoping that she wasn't pushing her luck

"That may be awfully difficult, my employer is quite busy, you sure you can't wait till Saturday" was the response given

"Yes, I am preoccupied for the rest of the week, it is either earlier or next week" she said confidently

Why the hell did she just say that I need this job! She thought

"Well" Kisara could hear pages being flipped "Maybe tonight but I will have to call him and confirm a time, but we won't be able to contact you till later today."

"Okay, whenever is best for him" she said hoping that she still had a chance after her outburst

"We'll be in touch" and with that she hung up.

Kisara released a breath that she didn't know she was holding in, why the hell did she say such a thing, but it seemed that it had gone alright. She looked out of the closest window and saw the track that she had been running on this morning there was a student out there doing laps, as he ran past she recognised him from this morning's homeroom. She actually got a proper look at the stranger, he was tall, really tall, with brown hair that seemed to be constantly in check, and bloody hell did he fly around the track, he must be really athletic to be able to do so with ease.

She shook her head and looked away glancing at the nearest wall-mounted clock, it was almost time for next lesson, and if she didn't want to be late she had best get going now.

She was looking forward to this lesson; double physics. She had been studying the topic before she had to go job hunting so felt confident as she walked into the class. She was greeted by a small round woman who shook her hand vigorously.

"I'm Ms. Muyo" she greeted with a beaming smile "but please call me Miyo"

"Kisara" she said hesitantly not sure on this over the top teacher

"Nice to meet you Kisara" she said "now I always insist on students introducing themselves to class"

Kisara cringed at the thought of standing in front of the class to ask questions about her.

"I'm sure that's not necessary..." she began but got cut off

"No excuses everyone in this class has done it and so shall you" with a sigh Kisara agreed to the terms.

So as the rest of the class finally joined them Ms. Muyo beckoned Kisara to the front of the class.

"I am Kisara Kanou" she began, hating the way everyone was staring at her, "I have just moved to Domino in the past couple of weeks and I am looking forward to what this year brings"

"Does anyone have any questions for Kisara?" asked Miyo "You can only ask one question each"

Everyone's hand shot up, Kisara did a quick head count there must of been around 20 other students, this was going to take a while.

"What hobbies do you have?"

"Art" she answered simply "You there?"

"Is that your natural hair?"

"Yes it is" she answered curtly, hating that people are more interested by her looks rather than her personality. This went on for an hour, before they actually got to the teaching. Kisara had made up her mind about Ms. Muyo, she was a good teacher but her personality will get on Kisara's nerves.

Ms. Muyo did let them go to lunch early so Kisara hoped that she could get something decent to eat so she set off to the cafeteria. When she got there, there were only a few groups of people queuing to get food. So she joined the queue when it was her turn to get some food, she was a little disappointed that there wasn't more on offer. She didn't want to be too picky so got her food and went to sit in the corner of the room.

She sat down at put her headphones in hoping people would get the message that she didn't want to be interrogated. But to no avail as people did try to approach her but she ignored them and ate her food, enjoying her food. One group in particular were quite persistent led by some small teenager with tricoloured.

Eventually they gave up and let her be; it wasn't till much later into the lunch hour she realised that someone had joined her on the table. She looked up and saw that it was the same person who she saw this morning doing laps, something about him felt familiar she felt the urge to strike up conversation.

"You didn't have to do that you know?" She began

"Do what?" was the reply

"Speak up for me this morning" prompted Kisara

"That?" he said, "Don't worry about it, in fact forgot it, it won't happen again"

"Oh okay" she replied, it seemed that the person she was sat with was more interested with his laptop than talking to her, and so she put her headphones back in. But after a little while longer she spoke up again, she couldn't shake the feeling that she had met this guy before

"I'm sorry" Kisara said suddenly, interrupting him from his work yet again, but she had to voice her theory.

"Have we met?" she continued "I mean from before this morning, it's just you seem really familiar and I don't know where from"

He seemed stunned but only for a second before his expression changed to something a lot more stoic.

"I'm Seto Kaiba" he introduced himself "I run KaibaCorp, you know the biggest gaming company in the world?"

"Sorry not that into games" she replied, with a smile glad that he seemed to be talking to her "Give me a good book to read any day of the year"

This seemed to disheartened Seto but nevertheless if it did it didn't show on his stoic features

"You many not like games but you do read the paper don't you?" He said "You may have seen me in the press?"

"Yeah probably" she said not completely convinced, but let the topic go for now anyway. After that Seto went quiet and seemed to be done talking to her, so Kisara but her headphones back in and thought about that possible job interview later on.

The bell rang for afternoon registration, she hoped that she could follow Seto to homeroom so she wouldn't get lost but he quickly disappeared into the crowds. It was only a matter of time before she was lost again and was wondering aimlessly around the school corridors. When she finally figured out where she needed to go she got a phone call.

"Hello?" she answered eagerly hoping this was about the job

"This is Misa Kudara" the voice replied "My employer said that he is willing to speak to you tonight, around 8pm, as he is very busy for the rest of the day."

"Yes that perfect. That is great news" said Kisara excitedly, before composing herself "Is there anything else I need to know about?"

"Yes we will have a driver come and collect you from your home" informed the lady on the other end "the driver will then proceed to take you to the house in which you will be working at, and he will take you home afterwards. If the interview id successful you will know very soon."

"Thank you very much" Kisara said excited and yet nervous about the aspects of a good job. She hung up the phone when she looked around to see where she had ended up she saw that she was outside homeroom.

"Where have you been Miss. Kanou?" asked Mrs. Tenshin

"I had an important phone call" she said hoping that that would be enough for the form tutor

"Make sure that it doesn't happen again, during registration" she was told, she nodded to show that she understood. With that over with she headed over to her seat by the window, she saw Seto reading a book when their eyes met; he quickly looked back at his reading material.

Just as she sat down the bell rand, with a groan she got back up and checked her timetable she had Literature next. When she got there she had the usual spiel of what they would be doing and of she needed any help to raise her hand and not to be shy.

The lesson went by with very little going on, she had put her head down and got on with the work as she always did. Her next lesson was by far her favourite, art, she didn't want to be late so asked the teacher on where she had to go to get there quickest.

The teacher did not disappoint as Kisara got to the class no-one else was there yet so she sat down at the front and hoped that she hadn't stolen anyone's usual seat. Soon the class began to fill up but there was still no sight of the teacher, someone came through the door as she turned to see if it was the teacher; it wasn't it was Seto. She quickly faced the front and hoped that he hadn't spotted her turning to face him.

Soon after a young gentlemen came in;

"Okay then, today we will be starting a new project and I believe that it will take some time" said the man "First you will be put into pairs, based on your family names"

She heard a collective groan given out by the class; she shared their opinion but did not see a reason to complain. The teacher carried on regardless of the protesting, he was getting close to her name hoping that she was paired with someone who was at least competent.

"Kaiba, Kanou" said the art teacher hesitantly, he quickly glanced at the two names he had read out and back to their owners.

"Ms. Kanou, I'm sure we can make an exception if you like?" the Art teacher said, he appeared to be scared of something.

"No, No treat me like any other student I don't want special treatment" Insisted Kisara not wanting people to have an excuse to not like her.

The teacher quickly glanced at Seto it seemed like he was asking for permission; her suspicions were answered when Seto gave a small nod. With a sigh he carried on listing names, by the time he was done there wasn't much time left before the end of school.

"Okay then, if you would like to sit with your respective partners" he announced, whilst the class was shifting he carried on speaking "the project we will be doing is the human form"

She heard even more protesting by the class.

"Why?"

"Could we do something else?"

"Yeah, like anything else?"

Kisara just shook her head at everyone's complaining; she glanced at Seto who had also stayed silent. She didn't know what to say to Seto at all and it seemed that he had nothing to say to her either.

"Yes you do" informed the teacher "the principle had reviewed your work and has deemed that there are certain areas in which you could improve on, now for the rest of the lesson you can decide you will be the subject and who will be the artist first"

"Then half way through the year you will swap over, even if the other has not finished his or her piece" and with that the teacher fell silent. The whole room was a commotion, people arguing about who goes first but more people were angry about the project itself.

Kisara turned to look at Seto wondering how good at art he was, and more importantly where she recognised him from, and it wasn't the papers.

Seto was the first to speak out of two; she took the opportunity to ask how his skills were. He wanted to know the same thing, so she came up with a competition to draw the teacher, who turned out to be called Mr. Kobi.

The two sat in silence whilst they sketched away, they weren't paying attention to the time and the bell had gone off. She quickly looked at his drawing and had to admit that he had talent but hers was better he agreed with he decision.

She got to decide on who drew first, she pretended take her time to make her decision, but honestly she had made it the instant that he saw the drawing.

"You can go first" she had told him, he seemed shocked

"Why?" she took the opportunity, to tease him a bit, so she could get a gauge on his character

"Why? Isn't it obvious? You need all the time you can get to draw me, to the perfection I am" she teased, he went into what appeared to be shock, and that's how she had left him in class.

She managed to get to the bus on time, but unfortunately the bus could only take her so far, she had to walk the rest of the way home, but it wasn't that far. She had to get ready for her interview, so as she got ready she prepped herself for anything that the employer may ask her. Why she needed the job to what her favourite colour was.

She had just got changed into her formal wear when there was a knock on the door, the driver was here. It wasn't a long ride to the destination, but when she saw the house her jaw dropped. The place was huge it seemed that it was as big as the school.

When she knocked on a younger teenager had answered the door

"Hello, I'm Mokuba" he said introducing himself to her, stretching out his hand

"Kisara" she replied shaking his hand

"Nice to meet you Kisara" he replied "If you would follow me please?"

"Sure thing" she said with a polite smile, as she followed the young teen he asked her questions about herself and asked if there is anything that she would need to know. He had told her that all her questions would be answered by his brother when he got here.

So as she sat in the home study waiting for the interviewer she made observations and deduced what he would be like. She saw that there was only one picture on the desk but it was facing away from her, so couldn't see what he may look like.

A lot of the furniture was modern and looked expensive, but she could have guessed that one by the size of the house. Then the door behind her opened.

"I am sorry that this has run late" began the voice as he sat behind his desk, not paying the young girl a glance "there was some important work at KaibaCorp that had to be sorted out"

"Seto?" she said, utterly surprised by the fact that not only did she recognise him but by that she in fact goes to school with him. He seemed surprised as she did.

"Kisara?"

A/N I know that there is some inconsistencies but I'm developing the story as I go I know roughly what I want to happen but not 100%. Also I know my grammar isn't the greatest but I am trying. I will also start work on the next when soon.

P.S. if anyone has any suggestion on what they would like to see leave a review or Pm me and I'll take it into consideration when I'm planning where I'm going with this. As well the chapters may get smaller but not sure.

Hope you enjoy and review, until next time Mike.
