I Do Not Own Any Characters
Chapter 3
Kisara blinked into the day's slowly rising sun. Her knee length pale blue dress stood out in the grey haze. She moved the dress straps into a more comfortable position and bent down to fix a buckle on her brown sandals, placing her small brown purse near her. "Mana hurry up!"
"Okay! I'm moving as fast as I can." The blonde appeared at the doorway. She smiled wearing a blue tank vest, white skirt and white sneakers. She waved at a passing man, the blue bracelet gleamed. Kisara smiled remembering the time when Mana made it. She stood up and looked at the slightly shorter girl. "Are we all set to go off now?" Mana skipped off the stoop and smiled brighter. "Yes! This should be the best day we've ever had right?"
"It should be. It's our day off from grueling work, just to spend having a relaxing time."
"Well we'll do just that! Where to first? Oh, maybe we got up to early? How about breakfast somewhere?"
"Yeah, that sounds fine." Kisara held onto her purse as she followed Mana. Good thing I remembered this. Mana never brings hers. After the girls reached a restaurant and had eaten they moved onward to their next destination. The city buildings loomed above, the TV's displayed ads for numerous products and the bustle of city life filled their ears.
"Never been this deep into the city. It's sort of exciting."
"Wonder how many people will flood the arena? I hate it when someone sits in the middle of three empty seats, be courteous and move." Mana began skipping as Kisara followed still.
"You pick the next place Kisara."
"Well, how about the park?"
"That sounds nice. Oh look!" Mana stopped abruptly to point at a limo that turned a corner away from them. Kisara, surprised, spun to watch it leave.
"Sorry Kisara! I just get excited whenever I see limos."
"Yeah that's fine. I sometimes do too. That was an odd limo, I didn't see much but a K and a C were printed on the bumper. Did you see it?"
Mana hopped to face Kisara and smiled. Kisara stood where she was looking back at Mana.
"Kisara we just saw a Kaiba Corp. limo. It must be on its way to the event later!"
"Whoa. Being that close to a rich well known person, that's exciting."
Kisara started walking again and Mana followed. A strong wind blew and the girl's hair whipped around as their clothes ruffled around. The wind, it would be amazing if some of it was wind from a couple thousand years ago. I've got to try and have a good time despite that awful dream. It was just that, only a dream!
"Kisara pay attention!" Kisara's head snapped up but she felt herself move backwards and down.
"Taaaa!" Kisara landed on her bottom and looked up as Mana crouched near her.
"Hey Kisara? You're usually more alert than I am. What happened?"
Mana also looked up. A teenager, who looked not much younger than them, with brown hair, blue eyes and a yellow dress on with matching heels, looked down at them.
"I'm sorry! I should pay attention when leaving stores! Are you okay?"
She extended a hand and warm smile to help her up. Mana smiled back as Kisara nodded and grasped her hand, accepting the help. Mana stood up and beamed again.
"Yeah she's fine, just tired. I'm Mana and this is my friend, Kisara." The blonde pointed to her. Kisara shifted and smiled shyly.
"Nice to meet you! My name's Téa Gardner and my friend should be coming soon, his name's Yugi Moto. Hey Mana, are you a cosplayer? You remind me of Dark Magician Girl."
Kisara smiled and shrugged as Mana scratched her nose and the familiar blush came to her cheeks.
"Sorry I took longer. Oh hello!" The short boy with multi-colored, gravity defying hair smiled up at the two new girls. Kisara first noticed his hair but her eyes shot to the pyramid. She stared at the eye on it for a long time and began to zone out until she saw only the eye. I've seen it before. I've seen it multiple times! Maybe on television? Suddenly the city noise and the talking of her friend snapped her back, she almost fell back again. She looked towards Mana whom seemed to be having a conversation with Yugi.
"Yeah! Kisara and I are going there later. It's really nice to meet you face to face."
"Thank you! It's nice to have people like you watching." The young boy scratched the back of his head.
"Well Kisara let's get going! Bye guys, let's keep in touch!" The blonde began walking and waved.
"Coming Mana. Good-bye, pleasure talking to you!" She hurried up to Mana but they stopped soon as they heard Yugi call to Mana.
"I meant to ask you, do you cosplay Mana!?"
Ready for the question this time Mana beamed and spun around.
"No! I know that I look like Dark Magician Girl so maybe I'll take it up!"
She waved again as she turned back. Kisara and Mana began making their way towards the park.
"Hey Mana? Will you really? You've gotten so many compliments about it."
"Yes. Who knew that talking to and befriending a celebrity was so easy!"
"Mana you really should…Oh look we're here!"
The peaceful vision of the park appeared before them. Kisara strolled down the steps and walked forward, Mana slid down the stair railing.
"It's nice and quite, I should come to relax here more often."
"If you say so Kisara. Maybe, it's not the best of ideas though…watch it you jerks!"
Two older looking boys on skateboards whizzed by before they zoomed away, hooting with laughter. Kisara had been pulled back by Mana with such force that she flung her purse. People stared after them boys obviously annoyed.
"Thank you Mana but I've dropped my purse!"
"Oh no not our only money supply!"
"You're too loud Mana, calm down."
"Sorry I overheard but you dropped this right?"
Kisara turned around to look down at a short black haired boy in a stripped shirt. He was looking at her, holding her purse.
"Yes! Thank you!"
"Oh thanks a bunch kid! Kisara, aren't the tickets in there too? I don't have them."
"Yes Mana, they are."
"I think I know where you two are going! It starts in a few hours right?"
"Yea, a duel competition. Is it that popular? Are you going too?"
Kisara smiled down at the boy.
"Of course! I'm family of the guy who made it possible."
Kisara looked to Mana.
"Wow. Really who?"
"The name Kaiba doesn't ring a bell? I'm Mokuba Kaiba."
Mana and Kisara glanced at each other then back at him.
