Okay, I took a look at a few things and realized I did something wrong! If Yugi was eight when Kisara left he'd be 13 in this story! Good thing this isn't canon or anything like that right? Phew. Man, I really need to keep an eye on what I write. Please check out my other stories after this and review!

Now, I've been getting a few reviews about who Kisara's other half-siblings are. Here's the hints. One was the offspring of an affair (not that that's much help), and the other two were parted in a divorce. Kisara's father is an alcoholic. Can anyone tell me at least one of her siblings now? Think really really hard guys. But now, onto the chapter! Please REVIEW!

Coming Close

By Sailor Pheonix1997

"The battle's coming closer," Kisara muttered under her breath as she reached for the book she kept in her desk. She opened it to her page and a Duel Monsters card fluttered to the ground. "Oops, wouldn't want to lose that," she said reaching down to get it, but a boy grabbed it before her. She looked up at a pair of brown eyes almost covered by blond hair.

"Jounochi-san?" Jounochi handed her the card revealing it to be Gilford the Lightning.

"Are you starting to play?" he asked as Anzu and Honda surrounded the table.

"Yes, I am. I've got a small deck right now but I'm hoping to make it a sixty-card deck." Jounochi pulled his deck from his pocket.

"Care to go against me?" Kisara made a face of slight surprise then smiled.

"I'd love to. But don't you dare go easy on me," she said grabbing her deck from her schoolbag. The two sat down at a pair of desks already pushed together for the game. Yugi sat at his desk, glaring at Kisara and clenching his pencil so hard it was about to snap.

Jounochi and Kisara shuffled each others' decks and began the game.

"So we both have 4000 life points and we can summon one monster per turn and any monster at that as long as they have four stars or less. A five to six star monster requires a single monster sacrifice and a seven to eight star monster requires two monsters to be sacrificed. Any monsters with nine to twelve stars needs three sacrifices," Jounochi explained as he drew his hand.

"I know that," Kisara said looking over her hand, "You may start the game Jounochi-san."

"Call me Jounochi-kun, Sennen-san. And I summon Baby Dragon in defense mode and place three cards face-down. Your move." Kisara looked over her hand and smirked as she drew her card.

"I thought I told you not to go easy on me," she said slyly. Kaiba looked up from his book at the two Dueling students. "And now it's going to cost you. I play Giant Trunade then summon Maja Vailo in attack mode. I also give him three Black Pendants and a Book of Secret Arts. Now with 1800 boosted attack points and 2000 more because of his special ability. My monster started out with 1550 and add 3800 to that and you've got 5350. Enough to wipe you out."

"But my monster's in defense mode," Jounochi pointed out.

"That may be, but it won't matter once I activate my final card. It's called Fairy Meteor Crush. And it takes the difference between my monsters attack points and your monster's defense points and the difference is taken out of your life points. And with that I win." Anzu shook her head.

"Wow Sennen-san. I thought you said you just started." Kisara nodded.

"And please call me Kisara. I can't stand it when people my own age call me Sennen-san. I find it annoying."

"In that case, you can call me Anzu," Anzu said gesturing to herself, "Everyone else just likes the usage of –kun instead of –san. Save for Yugi. He just likes his plain name."

"You can call me Mutou-san," he said snapping the pencil in his hand, standing up and leaving the room.

"Yugi!" Anzu said, "Sorry about him. He's been acting so weird lately." Kisara sighed.

"As I'd expect of him, but I don't have time to worry about Yugi right now. The battle's drawing closer and closer by the day. If I don't tell the others soon I might never get the chance again," Kisara thought to herself as she began fingering her crystal, which Anzu noticed.

"That's a nice necklace," she said. Kisara lay the jewel on her palm.

"Thank you. It's my good luck charm. I've had it since I was 14. My older brothers also have a crystal of their own. We think they make a set but we're missing a couple of pieces," Kisara said smiling.

"What type of crystal is it? A diamond? Opal?" Jounochi asked. But Kisara shook her head.

"I accidentally scratched this against a diamond I found and the diamond split in half. When I dropped a hammer on it once by accident the hammer got dented and there wasn't so much as a scratch on my crystal."

"Strange," Honda said. Kisara nodded and looked out the window.

"Strange weather, huh?" Everyone looked outside.

"Yea. It is weird. I've never seen clouds act like that," Anzu said.

"Normally they're different shades of gray and not always covering the skies like this," Jounochi said. Kisara nodded and clenched her crystal in her fist.

"I can't help but feel like this'll bring on something we don't want to mess with," Kisara said and everyone nodded.

"Care to go another round?" Jounochi asked. Kisara smiled and nodded.

Kisara leaned against the school wall as the rest of the students walked by headed for home.

"That was impressive," said a familiar voice that made Kisara jump slightly.

"Seto-kun! You surprised me." The brunette leaned against the wall with one arm and tucked his free hand into his pocket.

"Your defeat over Jounochi today was incredible. And five times in a row no less. You didn't lose a single life point the entire time." Kisara smiled.

"It was a little easy saying that your coaching was a huge help."

"I was sitting at my desk the entire time."

"I know that. But you did tell me which cards would be best for my deck and that's how your coaching helped." Kisara looked up and down the street before leaning against the wall again.

"Who are you looking for?" Kaiba asked.

"Ani-kun. He said that he wanted to drive me home today because of the clouds. It might rain so he just wants to be safe. He should be here any second now. On that dang motorcycle of his."

"He rides a motorcycle?" Kaiba asked. Kisara nodded.

"When he was younger he'd have little models littering the floor and he'd tell me about the engine and all its parts. He read every book on motorcycles he could get his hands on and he always said he'd get a motorcycle the second he could and drive all over Japan with it. But how is he to ride all over Japan when he can't even come to my school to pick me up?" she said with a smile. The two shared a light chuckle.

Jounochi looked over at the two classmates talking.

"Isn't that Kaiba?" he asked. Yugi nodded but kept his eyes on the ground. "And he's talking to Kisara?" Anzu nodded.

"I don't think they're just talking. I think they're laughing," she said gesturing to how Kaiba's shoulders were moving up and down quickly.

"What're they talking about?" Honda asked.

"Why should we care?" Yugi asked. "I'm going home, if anyone needs me." With that, Yugi walked off.

"What's gotten into him?" Anzu asked. "He's been acting this way ever since Kisara-chan came to Domino. Normally he's so sweet and friendly."

"Didn't she say on her first day that she was sorry for hurting Yugi?" Jounochi asked. Anzu nodded.

"Maybe we should talk to her about this," Anzu suggested, "Like over dinner or something." Jounochi nodded.

"Shizuka's going to be moving here tonight so if we do ask her to dinner we should invite Shizuka as well." Anzu nodded.

"Let's go." The trio walked over to where Kaiba and Kisara were talking. Kisara noticed their approach and smiled in a friendly manner.

"We've got company," she said to Kaiba, who turned and gave an almost-friendly smirk.

"Ah, Kisara-chan, can we talk to you for a second?" Anzu asked just before the roar of a motorcycle echoed up the street and Yami rode up to the sidewalk on a dark violet motorcycle. He pulled off his black helmet and ran a hand through his hair as it spiked back into place from being trapped under the helmet,causing a gasp from Anzu and the others when they realized who he looked like. His dark dress shirt was covered with a black leather jacket and his dark shoes were in a bag on the side, replaced by dark combat boots.

"Sorry I took so long Kisara. Traffic was a nightmare," he said as he put down the kickstand and swung his leg over the side.

"It's alright Ani-kun. Seto Kun, Jounochi-kun, Honda-kun and Anzu-chan were all helping me pass the time." Yami nodded his thanks to the four.

"Was I interrupting something?" Yami asked noticing Anzu and Jounochi.

"Well, Anzu-chan wanted to ask me something. Right Anzu-chan?" Anzu gave her head a quick shake and smiled at Kisara.

"Yea. We were wondering if you'd like to have dinner with us sometime?"

"Me? With you guys?" Kisara asked, excitedly.

"Yea. I mean, it's been three weeks since you moved here and the only hand of friendship we've extended to you is the game of Duel Monsters today." Kisara smiled.

"I'd love to have dinner with you guys sometime. I'm free this Saturday. How about then? I could make dinner at my house and you could meet my two other brothers and my sister-in-law." The three nodded.

"I've got a little sister I'd also like you to meet," Jounochi said, "Would it be alright for me to bring her?"

"Of course! I'd love to meet your sister Jounochi-kun. Seto-kun, you're invited too, you know." Seto shook his head.

"I've got a meeting on Saturday. Then I have a quick business conference in New York in the morning. I'm afraid I'll have to take a rain check on that dinner." Kisara shrugged.

"It's alright. Maybe another night we all can get together," she said as she climbed onto the motorcycle and put on a blue helmet decorated with small white dragon wings on the side that touched the back of her head. "See you all later!" she called as Yami took off.

"Seto-kun?" Honda asked as soon as the two were gone. Kaiba smirked again. "When did you two get so close?"

"When she invited me to meet her family last week. I hope you all enjoy yourselves. Her family's quite the delight to be around." A black limo rolled to a stop in front of Kaiba and the brunette got in.

"Those two, already using each other's individual names. After only three weeks," Jounochi said.

"It just tells you what kind of person she is. If she can get Kaiba to want her to call him by his individual name instead of Kaiba, she must be understanding and kind. Maybe she's actually getting to him."

"Well, I can say two things about this," Honda said stroking his chin, "One: Kisara-chan will not be good friends with Kaiba's fangirls."

"He's got fangirls at school?" Jounochi said.

"Touché. Second: Those two will never work out."

"How do you figure that?" Anzu asked.

"Because Kisara-chan's way too much out of Kaiba's league," Honda said with a self-satisfied smirk over his lips.

"More like you've got a crush on her," Anzu thought.

Kisara sighed as she took a seat and scratched ehind Jack and Jill's ears.

"How was your day Kisara-chan?" Teana asked from the couch where a cup of steaming tea and a thick book lay on the table next to her.

"It was good. In fact, better than good. It was great." Atemu walked in, wiping his hand on a towel.

"That's great Kisara," he said smiling, "But we have more pressing issues to face right now." He nodded towards the outside where the clouds had gotten a shade darker.

"Oh, right. That," Kisara said down-heartedly.

"That's why we're all home early," Tozokou said as he emerged from the bedroom hallway, zipping his fly, with Peter and Penny on his heels. Teana sat up as Atemu sat down and cuddled into her husband's embrace.

"We all know what's going to happen. We all know the risks. We all know that we could die fighting this foe." Teana placed a hand on her swollen womb and moved her fingers in a swirling motion as if to soothe the unborn infant within.

"We all know that Nii-sama," Kisara said, "But what about our four younger siblings? We need to tell them who they are and what we're up against." Atemu nodded.

"That's why I'm considering calling Otou-san and telling him to gather his other children so we can talk. Unless you've made some progress with them," he said eyeing Kisara.

"I've made no progress with Yugi but the others are warming up to me." Atemu nodded.

"That's good. When the skies are a shade under black we'll tell them if they don't already know."

"Actually, we can tell them this Saturday night," Yami said, "Our dear sister has apparently invited them and a few friends over to dinner. Only Yugi's not going to be attending." Atemu widened his eyes at Kisara.

"Lovely. We'll tell them this Saturday. And let's be sure that they understand our story and our powers." Everyone grasped their crystals and Teana placed a hand on her husband's chest. "Are we all understood?" Everyone nodded.

A/N: Isn't that helpful with guessing the identity of Kisara's siblings? I'd love to see who you guys think is Kisara's siblings or if you're not sure, just try one sibling. I want to know what you guys have to say. Please don't be afraid to review. Constructive criticism is accepted greatly and I hope you've all loved this story so far. I know this one's going to be short but I plan to make a sequel. PLEASE REVIEW!
