Hey everybody, its been forever since I updated. Sorry about that. Enjoy! ^_^
The Fourth God Card
Kaiba tossed and turned, before finally shooting out of bed in horror. "No!" He screamed, the horrible image in his mind, the girl being impaled by a spear and then him at her bleeding body. Her smile haunted his mind, yet he couldn't remember for the life of him why he couldn't remember. "That girl…she looks so familiar…." The doorbell rang, as Seto heard anxious foot steps racing to the door. His guess, it was most likely Mokuba who was anxious to meet the new neighbors. Their recently adoptive sister, Rika Kaiba was most likely the second set of footsteps following the first. "…Hmph, might as well go greet them at least…." Kaiba stated matter of factly as he walked down the stairs and opened the door where the two impatient children stood anxiously. He opened the door and his eyes become larger then dinner trays, there standing before him was a girl who looked exactly like the girl in his nightmare… She smiled gently holding out a tray of cookies, "Hi everyone, the name's Kisara. May I come in?" Kaiba only nodded in his confusion while Mokuba and Rika happily showed her to the couch. "Hey Mokie, since when does Seto let a girl in?" Mokuba snickered. "You got a point sis." They both smiled deviously as she sat and Kaiba sat on the couch on the other side of the small living room. "I understand you're a busy man, but we can at least be friends right?" She smiled hopefully. Kaiba scoffed. "Please, I don't have time for friends, but I will at least extend you my courtesy." He said in a rather sore tone. He knew it; it was some random attempt at friendship.
Kisara laughed to herself. "Guess she wasn't kidding. This boy really does have a stubborn heart." Kaiba smirked accusingly. "Why are you staring at me?" Kisara snapped back to reality and looked away apologetically. "Sorry about that, had something on my mind." She replied. He nodded. "Don't we all." He said under his breath but sadly for him she was fast enough to catch it. "What was that?" She asked. He realized his mistake and motioned for Mokuba to get his morning coffee. "Forget it. You don't need to know." He replied. "Just tell me….please…." She tried. Kaiba only stubbornly looked away. "You….you still go to high school right? Guess, I'll see you there. I'm sorry but you'll have to leave, I'm needed to organize a KaibaCorp event." He said changing the subject. Kisara got up and put on a stubborn face. "Fine, but I will get you to tell me one way or another." Kaiba smiled at her challenge. "Fine, I'll win." She smiled competitively. "We'll see about that." With that, she left the room and the house entirely. Kaiba sighed, "Glad that's over…" Mokuba and Rika jumped him as soon as he got up. "What the?! What's with you two today?" They both grinned. "We heard you talking to that girl…" Mokuba said deviously. "Does the great Seto Kaiba, our big brother, have a girlfriend? The so called, impossible?" Kaiba scoffed at their childish words. "Please, I don't have time for this, I gotta get ready for school, you two should get going too." They sighed, "Fine." They replied knowing the fun was over.
Seto lazily put on his school uniform and walked towards the door… "Ha, she thinks she can defeat my will? What a fool…"
Meanwhile…At Pegasus' Private Island in his Castle…
"Ah Ms. Ishtar, it's a please to see you! What can I do for you?" Pegasus asked in his usual happy tone. "I need you to recreate the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon card." Ishizu replied. Pegasus took a double take. "Are you insane woman?! That monster was created to destroy even an Egyptian god! I found its stone tablet sleeping above the tomb of Pharaoh Seto where it was written: "I have given you the power to gain strength of the destruction of life, just as you gave me strength through your sacrifice. Kisara, please, watch over Egypt and protect the kingdom." Why should we recreate the card that can rival even Ra in power?!" Pegasus almost screamed in shock. Ishizu only stared seriously. "The card must be created, the host of the Blue-Eyes has returned to modern day." Pegasus eyed her confusedly. "You mean Kaiba-boy? Yes, yes, I already know about him." Ishizu shook her head. "No, the TRUE keeper of the Blue-Eyes, Kisara." Pegasus almost gasped. "Her soul was destroyed when Blue-Eyes was removed, how could she walk the Earth as a human?" Ishizu only narrowed her eyes. "The current pharaoh of the time, found a way to at least restore her soul through a ritual that cost him his life, by sealing a portion of his spirit into the dragon, her soul was then freed to at least be reborn just as his was still able. Or at least, that's the myth." Ishizu finally stopped talking. Pegasus nodded. "I understand, I will begin work on the card immediately." Ishizu nodded. "I thank you for the favor Pegasus, now if you'll excuse me, I must be going to a meeting at the museum." Pegasus only nodded. "What…what is happening?" He wondered aloud as the sky suddenly turned stormy.
Later during recess at school…
Kaiba sat lazily under his average tree reading a book the sun was in his face but he didn't care. He sat there reading until a shadow blocked out the sun. He looked up, prepared to send Moto and his little band of friends running, but it was not Yugi or his little squad, it was Kisara eying him curiously. "Mind if I sit?" Kaiba only scoffed, he knew this one wouldn't leave no matter what he did. "Do what you want." Kisara sat right next to him as she read over his shoulder. "What an interesting book." She commented thoughtfully. "Thanks…" Kaiba replied. Yugi and his friends eyed the curious events unfolding before them. "Is that rich boy I see?! With a girl?!" Joey shouted in amazement. "Joey, that's not nice, maybe Kaiba found a friend." Tea chastised. "Well, in any case, I know that she's the new girl so let's go introduce ourselves." Yugi suggested as everyone nodded in agreement. Kaiba sat there reading as Kisara read over his shoulder not saying a word, in order not to disturb him until he heard the foot steps that could only mean the coming of Yugi and his friends. "Great…the geek patrol…" Kaiba stated in an annoyed tone. "You mean the kid with the crazy hair and the other people?" Kisara asked curiously. "Yes…they annoy me everyday about friendship but honestly, I don't believe a word of it. It's a way to lure people into a false sense of security to use them or hurt them. In the end, it's just a waste of energy." Kaiba ranted as Kisara listened intently. "Hi Kaiba!" Yugi greeted the CEO happily and as friendly as ever. "Hmph, what do you want Moto?" Kaiba replied just as annoyed as ever.
Yugi sighed, some things just don't change… "We wanted to introduce ourselves to the new girl, I'm Yugi Moto and the three guys over there are Bakura, Joey, and Tristan and the one next to me is Tea." Kisara only nodded. "Well thank you for the introductions; I'm Kisara, pleasure to meet you all." Kaiba only rolled his eyes. She had much to learn if she wanted to be within a two feet radius of him. "Would you like to spend time with us? I'm sure Kaiba would appreciate being alone." Tea said eying Kaiba and his annoyed face. Kisara shook her head. "Nah, I'm fine here." Yugi and the others almost gaped and Kaiba almost had a gape. "Why won't she leave?!" He was in total shock, most people would just up and leave; but her…there was something different with her. "Well, okay if you want to stay here that's fine. C'mon guys let's go." Yugi said slightly disappointed. When they were finally out of ear range Kaiba finally turned to face her. "Why didn't you leave?" Kisara merely eyed him like he had asked a really silly question. "Because I'm your friend. No matter how you think of me, I'm your friend and I will always be by your side. I understand that you have been shown pain before, but I won't betray you and I'll never leave you. And if I'm weak, you'll help me, just as I would for you." She replied. Kaiba was for once, at lost for words. He knew he had no comeback to that. Why was that? That was because no one…ever had the courage to say it to his face. Seto stared at her in shock as she stared with an unshakable resolve burning in her eyes. Kaiba merely turned away. Kisara turned the opposite direction. The two never spoke the rest of the day.
After school, in the school courtyard…
Kisara stood outside waiting for Kaiba, but as soon as he made it outside, he turned away and walked to his car. Kisara sighed at his stubbornness, when her phone began to ring. She quickly pulled out her phone but the caller ID read, Domino Museum. Kisara sighed and answered lazily. "Hello?" a voice came up on the other line. "Hello, Kisara my name is Ishizu Ishtar, please come to the museum as soon as possible I have something you need." With that, the phone hung up. Kisara's eyes widened in astonishment, "What the…Ah well, might as well go get this thing she has for me…" Kisara slid the phone back into her bag and dashed into the direction of Domino Museum. Bakura appeared from behind the fountain of the courtyard. "Leave it to Ishtar to find the answers I seek." Bakura entered his car smirking evilly as he drove away in the same direction.
About an hour later
Kaiba drove through the streets of Domino as he was lost in thought of what Kisara had said to him,
Flashback…
"Because I'm your friend. No matter how you think of me, I'm your friend and I will always be by your side. I understand that you have been shown pain before, but I won't betray you and I'll never leave you. And if I'm weak, you'll help me, just as I would for you."
Kaiba scoffed. "Ridiculous. She's such a fool…an amazing fool…" Again his thought train was interrupted but this time by his cell phone. "Hello, this is Seto Kaiba." He answered mechanically. "Hey Seto! Rika and I want to know if Kisara can come over, she says she NEEDS to talk to you about something." Kaiba almost went into a fit. "How the hell does this girl keep getting into my life?!" Kaiba almost screamed angrily but sadly loud enough for Mokuba to hear. "You okay Seto?" Kaiba finally calmed down to answer. "Yes, I'm fine Mokuba. She may come over." In the background he heard Rika and Mokuba cheering. "Okay! We have to get stuff ready! Bye Seto!" Mokuba said in total excitement. "Hey wait what are you guys gonna-" It was too late, the phone cut off. "Damn those two, always causing some kind of mischief." Kaiba sighed as he drove home, now he had time to interrogate Kisara on her words.
Later, at Kaiba's house…
Kaiba parked the car and walked up the driveway. His hand finally made it to the door handle. "I've got a bad feeling about this…" Kaiba sighed as he opened the door. When he opened it, he didn't see anyone. That, worried him. Kaiba ran upstairs in search of Kisara, Mokuba and Rika. He kicked Mokuba's door open when he heard voices. His face turned to a confused expression when he found Mokuba and Kisara dueling. Kaiba eyed the field. "Paladin…of White Dragon?" He said confusedly as he would not understand why Kisara would want to use one of those if she doesn't own a Blue-Eyes card. Kisara realized his reason for confusion and smiled. "I tribute Paladin to activate its effect." Kaiba nearly did a back flip when he heard her say activate its effect. "WHAT THE?!" Kisara only smirked. "I summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" The card was laid on the board. Mokuba only sighed knowing that was defeat. "The artwork is different from the original Blue-Eyes cards…" Kaiba stated aloud. "Yeah, Kisara said that she got them from a representative of Industrial Illusions!" Kaiba smirked. "So, this was Pegasus' doing….figures…" Kaiba only shook his head, no one but Pegasus could have been the culprit of that. Kisara ended her turn as Mokuba drew his card. Mokuba smiled, "I play Swords of Revealing Light! Now you can't attack for three turns! Next, I'm sacrificing Swordstalker in order to summon my Silent Swordsman LV 5. I end my turn." Mokuba smirked confidently.
It was Kaiba's turn to smirk. "Mokuba you fool, you forgot that you didn't set any cards to counter anything she does to counter the Swords…" Kisara drew her card, it was the card Ishizu gave to her. She eyed it in awe, "I activate Polymerization to summon out Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon but now I sacrifice it!" Kaiba's eyes widened. "Sacrifice Ultimate Dragon?!! But why-UNLESS?!" Kisara realized Kaiba knew what she was about to do. "I summon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!" Kaiba and Mokuba gasped in shock. "Th-That card?!" Mokuba exclaimed. "A Blue-Eyes card Seto doesn't have?!" Rika cried out in shock. Kaiba just stood in shock. "B-but how?!" Kisara finished her attack on Mokuba winning her the duel. "I actually came here to talk about just that." She said standing up. Kaiba nodded. "Very well, let's talk about it in my room, those two won't be able to eavesdrop from in there." Mokuba and Rika sighed in disappointment as Kisara and Kaiba walked into the Room across the hallway. Kisara sat happily on his bed. "Wow, this bed is real comfy isn't it?" She said happily. "Don't talk about such random things." Kaiba said trying to sound all business. Kisara swung herself over the chair he was sitting in to sit next to him. "So, what do you know about this new card of mine?" Kisara asked.
Kaiba wanted answers, but he figured he'd be more successful in getting them if he answered her questions first. "It's a card that was created as the only counter to the Egyptian God cards Yugi has. You could call it a fourth Egyptian God." Kaiba explained. Kisara nodded. "So, I'm betting you wanna know where I got this considering you used to have it." Kaiba nodded, he was right. "Well, I got it from a woman at the museum named Ishizu Ishtar. She said that it just belonged with me, and obviously as a duelist I'd be stupid to turn down a card with 3000 attack points with an effect." Kaiba only smirked in an annoyed fashion. "Of course, now Ishtar is involved in the scheme. How predictable, but what role does this girl play in that little fairy tale of Ishtar's?" Kisara eyed him focused as much as possible, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Suddenly, he smirked. "I see, so that's what she's doing. Did she mention anything about ancient Pharaohs or priests or monsters originating from stone tablets and how Yugi and I look like two people carved on a rock?" Kaiba asked. Kisara nodded. "…Yep…it sounded really interesting but I just don't see how it's possible." Kaiba finally smiled. "Finally, someone aside from me who actually has a grasp on reality!" Kisara laughed. "I take it everyone she told about that believed her aside from you?" Kaiba nodded. "Correct, Yugi and his gang annoy me about it everyday. If you were not there, I would have had to listen for it for the probably hundredth time."
Kisara beamed. "So I did help you! See? I helped you avoid an annoying conversation Yugi." Kaiba smirked. "That you did, but that doesn't change anything." Kisara made a fake pout. "You're a mood killer you know that?" Kaiba suppressed a laugh. "And you're point being?" Kisara sighed. "Well, Mokuba and Rika want me to spend the night. That doesn't bother you does it?" Kaiba scoffed. "Do what you want." Kisara got up from the chair. "Fine, I'm staying then…I'm still gonna get you to tell me about whatever it was this morning." Kaiba scoffed. "Wanna bet?" Kisara got in his face. "In fact I would! I'm gonna win that bet Seto Kaiba." Kaiba laughed at her. "You are a fool Kisara. I am going to win. It's obvious." Kisara and Kaiba stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes until Mokuba slammed the door open. "Dinner's ready!" The shock sent Kisara up into the air and she landed on Seto in an awkward position that caused Mokuba suspicion. "Uh…what are you two doing?" Kisara turned cherry red and jumped off of Kaiba. "Nothing, nothing at all Mokuba, we were talking and I tripped and fell on Seto." Kaiba's ears took in the sound. She had just said his first name instead of Kaiba. "Oh…okay then, well come eat when you guys are ready." Mokuba exited the room while talking to Rika who was drilling him for info.
Kisara shook her head at the energetic children while Kaiba still sat lost in thought. "Well c'mon Seto we don't want to keep them waiting." Kaiba shook his head. "Don't call me Seto. It's Kaiba." Kaiba declared harshly. Kisara only shook her head and then smiled. "Fine, Seto it is." Kaiba growled angrily. "No, it's Kaiba." Kisara pretended not to hear him. "I'm going to go eat." Kaiba sighed in defeat. "Fine, go on." Kisara gracefully left the room leaving Kaiba alone to finally ponder his nightmare. The girl looks like Kisara, yet she's different. There was something there that's not there with Kisara and he didn't think it was the full on battle wounds. "Hm…what's going on?" Kaiba didn't bother to ponder it any longer and headed down to join his "friend" in dinner with his family.
Meanwhile on Sarah's end of the Story…
Sarah stepped out of the portal. She had no friends for her title as Shinigami the God of Death scared most of her comrades out of friendship with her. Slayer eyed her sad expression. "Do you have any of those ridiculous cards still?" Sarah nodded and pulled out Stardust Dragon. "Pfft, it'll get destroyed if you get hit by a fire elemental technique, you understand that right?" Sarah nodded, "And that's why I learned water elemental magic while we were still on earth. Slayer nodded. "Very well, protect your silly little trading card. We already have business to take care of. Sarah nodded as she summoned her gigantic sword. It's beautiful white blade with an icy blue hilt. Slayer looked at the coming enemies. "This is it, ready to rock?" Sarah morphed the sword into a gun. "I'm always ready." Sarah declared as they charged to the battle, weapons at the ready.
Author's Notes:
Yes, his memory was rewritten so that he believes he has a sister. Rika didn't have magical power so this was the only way she could remain safe. ^_^ Review please.
