Author's Note: Here's the second chapter. I rewrote parts of chapter 1 and reuploaded it. There were some things that bothered me after rereading it. I write most of this at like, 5 a.m. in the morning because I can't sleep, so when I'm actually awake, I realize what I wrote is a bunch of nonsensical crap. Hope this chapter's not too bad, enjoy!
Chapter 2: Finders and Seekers
By lunchtime, word of the confrontation between Kaiba and the unknown girl had spread far and wide throughout campus. The story was slowly becoming distorted, and the slap had turned into a punch, to a kick, to a full blown fight involving knives, guns, and other miscellaneous weapons.
Kaiba heard whispers of the mutilated story as he walked from class to the cafeteria. He was trying to hold in the urge of yelling outloud that it was "just a slap." But admitting that even a slap was involved was much too embarrassing for him, as he stormed past the many whispering students to reach the lunchroom.
Yugi was not interested in lunch that day. Accompanied by his friends, Joey, Tristan and Tea, he was on a mission to find the girl and apologize for the predicament she was now in because she tried to defend him.
"So what did she look like?" Tristan asked, peering around the large cafeteria.
"Well, she had black hair, really black hair. And really long," Yugi muttered, trying to recall the image of the girl in his mind.
"Okay, that leaves about uh, half the girls in this room," Tea replied with a small sigh. "Can you be more descriptive?"
"She had these really sharp, brown eyes that just by looking at them, you knew exactly how she was feeling," Yugi added, as he recalled looking into those fervent eyes that morning.
"All right gang, let's split up and round up all the chicks with black hair and brown eyes," Joey said, clapping his hands together and rubbing them, as if ready to get into the action.
"Come on Yugi, couldn't you be a little more specific? Those descriptions sound really, really generic," Tea said, looking around the cafeteria once more.
"Well, honestly, I'm really not sure how to describe her," Yugi replied with distress. He wanted to depict her to his friends so that they could help him find her, but in truth, the girl was rather indescribable. Her features were delicate, but how would you really describe delicate? By looking at her, you would never have guessed she had the nerve to slap Seto Kaiba. But delicate was not a very descriptive adjective to offer his friends. Different eyes perceive "delicate" in different ways, and it would've been just as useless as telling them that she had two eyes and one nose. She also seemed to be a truly caring soul that obviously could not stand being pushed around or seeing others mistreated, but how was one to describe that physically?
"Oh yeah, she's sort of fair-skinned. Not too tall either, and um, doesn't look like the type that would ever slap anyone, especially Kaiba," Yugi said, trying to be as descriptive as possible of a person he couldn't really put into words.
"I think very few people on this earth look like they would slap Kaiba," Tea laughed while patting Yugi on the back. "So I guess we're looking for a rather generic looking girl with black hair, brown eyes and fair skin. Where to start?"
But she was wrong, Yugi thought. To him, the girl was anything but generic. If she were, he would have been able to describe her in a heartbeat. All he could recall was every time the girl looked at him, she utilized every inch of her face to express her feelings, distracting him from her real physical features. He had memorized her emotions, not her face.
"So is it her?" Joey asked, pointing to a random girl walking by who happened to have black hair. Yugi shook his head. One after the next, the pattern continued on for nearly ten minutes till all the dark haired females in the cafeteria were confirmed as not being the girl who stood up to Seto Kaiba that morning.
Suddenly, Yugi shuddered at the thought that something might have happened to her. Everyone went to the cafeteria during lunch, but why was she nowhere to be seen? If anything did happen to her, it was definitely all because of him. Did Kaiba find her? Did he already seek his revenge? Was she hurt? Looking around, he noticed something else was amiss: Kaiba was nowhere to be seen.
