Chapter 7

Kisara had been working for a week now and failed the test of learning every corner of the house twice so far. Her friends were only half of the girls. They were the original silent ones who seemed to really not want to do anything with Kisara and merely spoke to her out of politeness. Haley and Heather and Julia, were the only ones to come to her of free will and kindness. The others seemed to hate her all because she and Seto were close. She figured out that only Tammy wanted to be with him and the other girls just didn't get along with her anymore.

"Hey Kisara, something's bothering you." The brunette with blue eyes declared.

"Oh Heater, not really why?"

"It's Haley. Heather's eyes are green. Hehee! But there is." She leaned against the window she'd been washing. She'd had this position for awhile but Kisara was recently promoted.

"Well, I guess I miss Mana is all." She shrugged it of and went back to washing.

"Eeeeeeerrrrrt!" Haley screeched making Kisara jump a foot in the air and shriek.

"What the heck was that Haley!?"

"I think you miss Master Seto. I hope Tammy's listening, I love bugging her." Maybe it was true; he'd left for a business trip somewhere and took Mokuba with him. They'd spent some time together before his departure. Remembering this made Kisara realize that she didn't know it then but she's really loved that. She blushed a little and scrubbed her window harder.

"H-hey don't break the glass girl!" Haley slapped Kisara's hand with her cloth. "I hit the mark, you miss the Master." Haley quickly scrubbed her window, Corrine whisked past and eyed them.

"N-no! No I don't we're merely friends. I'm upset that I keep failing and can't go home to Mana. We've never been separated this long before." Liar. You were apart for years, you stayed with Mother remember?

"Yeah, but you miss Master more. And you two are only friends for now."

"Haley…he's not interested." Kisara flicked water at her new friend and walked to the next window.

"Liar! Haley's never wrong, that's Heather!" she called.

It took a couple of hours of window scrubbing and soon the girls were on the other side of the mansion to work on the windows there. Haley sneered at her window she was having trouble cleaning.

"Hey why do you and Heather look so much alike anyways?" Kisara was farther away, much farther and was about the move to the other side.

Haley scrubbed harder and growled. "That's because our mothers are twins, my mom and aunt." Haley wiped her forehead and seemingly satisfied, moved on. Kisara nodded and turned the corner, now at the front of the house. She sighed a long sigh and began her work. Haley was pretty much getting what Kisara had missed now. Wonder what Seto's doing?

"Ow!" Kisara whirled to see who had thrown a heavy object at her. Gretta was snorting, laughing, and Rosanne grinned, a nice large rock in hand.

"No daydreaming! Hehee it's only a joke." She waved at Haley who'd come to see what was wrong.

"Oh Rosanne don't throw that! If you miss you'll break the window and if you don't you could really hurt her, scram!" Haley slapped her rag at them.

"Kizara'z going to be in trouble if that breakz. Give it to me I've got horrible aim zo no worriez." Gretta flung the rock, hitting Kisara's arm full force. She was certain the bruise was already forming.

"Hey quit it! That really hurt you jerkz!" Kisara held her arm and became frightened, where was Corrine when needed the most?! She hid her fear well and glared at the girls.

"Stop it! Let's get out of here Kisara." Kisara nodded but felt sharp pains, they'd thrown more rocks and Haley's snarl was lost in the wind. Rocks poured at Kisara from every direction and with such force.

"Help! Please stop please!" She tried to cover her head but the pain was still strong. She heard rude remarks and insults from a range of different age groups and genders. A rock hit her squarely in the stomach and she fell over, coughing and crying. I'm going to die? Isn't this sand, why'd it hurt so much? Help! She raised an eyelid to peek at the people.

"Julia!" A black haired red eyed man glared at her. Wow definitely not, gender confused. Must be from the impact of the rocks… Kisara slipped away from the pain and world into darkness. A warm and comforting blueish white light fell over her. Kisara opened her eyes to meet her Egyptian counterpart's. The pain raced back to Kisara's nerves, tars stung her eyes because of it.

"Guess who saved my life. Don't let history repeat."

"Seto?"

"Yes. Don't wait, fight it. We are the same but we are different. I'll always be watching you to make sure you'll be fine."

"Kisara, what do you mean? Seto's not here either."

"I know that. But he's saved you differently; my fault was rocks and cages. Take care." Egyptian Kisara was engulfed by the light, a dragon too her place and flew away.

"Won't you please just explain to me?" Kisara raised her arms, they began to pound.

"Kisara's done nothing to you! Leave her alone!" Oh yeah, time here doesn't pass when I'm there.

"Cut that out!" Kisara roared. Blue Eyes White Dragon, my old dragon, lend me your strength! Kisara grabbed hold of her water filled bucket and with all her might flung it at her attackers. Some water splashed out but most remained inside the bucket as it smacked into the girls. Gretta's glasses flew off her face as she and Rosanne were pushed back and down. Haley's mouth hung open before she began cracking up.

"D-don't! Ahahaha mess haha with Kisara unless you want that to happen again! Ahahahahaha!" Haley doubled over. Kisara stood proud and strong but her body ached all over.

"Great show Kisara! Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't be attacked like that again. Right girls!? You'll never pull that stupid stunt again and take heed of Haley's warning right?" Julia appeared at the door with Corrine. Julia smiled at Kisara as Corrine continued to lecture them. The two stood up and with heads hung shuffled back inside.

"Thanks you two."

"My pleasure, I've always wanted to deck Rosanne. She's just plain irritating." Julia smiled. Kisara giggled and ran to retrieve her bucket, which had rolled towards the gate.

"Wow Kisara! You would never have done that, you've changed great for you!" a familiar spiked blonde with large green eyes and rosy cheeks beamed at Kisara from the other side.

"Mana!" Kisara ran to the fence and dropped her bucket. "Y-you saw that? Mana it's great to see you again!" how she wanted to rip down the bars that prevented her from hugging her friend.

"Of course and it was amazing! You're right; those maid uniforms are boring, capital B." Mana winked.

"Are you taking pleasure of wearing that costume everywhere Dark Magician Girl?" Kisara cooed.

"Perhaps I am! Hehee, the apartment's lonely. No one's really home anymore." Mana nibbled her thumbnail. Kisara reached a hand to touch her friend's shoulder.

"Don't worry! I'll be home soon I swear, I won't fail again." Mana shook her head and smiled.

"I don't want you to. I've already said that I'm not going to be able to see you and aren't you happy here? Being with Seto hmm? He seems to taken interest in you." Mana lowered her eyes slyly and grinned. Kisara pulled her hand away, Mana's words hurt a little. She doesn't want me back? She doesn't want me to live with her anymore?

"B-but Mana! Remember our promise? The one to not abandon each other and to help support each other…"

"I've found a very interesting man that I'm pursuing to make my boyfriend." Mana held her hands together at her chest. She'd lowered her head, Kisara couldn't see her face.

"Mana?" Kisara furrowed her eyes, becoming more confused.

"He's very cool, smart and sexy. He's polite and charming but is strict a little but I really like him. So most free time is devoted to him, and I don't have that much of it to begin with. He's a doctor too, his name's Mahado. He's a little older than me but not by much!"

"Mana…I'm happy for you." Kisara gripped the bars. Mana's happy with out you. Smile! Kisara's face was already smiling. Old Mana was soon back.

"So, we'll do our absolute best in the quest of love! I'll help you out with some magic; I am the Dark Magician Girl after all right my Dragon friend?" Mana posed and winked at Kisara.

Kisara giggled and shook her head. "Mana you're ridiculous! Do you need a reality check, haha!"

"Nope! Love Check!" Mana beamed and snapped her fingers before tapping Kisara's head with her wand. "Okay spell's all done!" Mana smiled.

"Mana that's plastic. People who passed must think you're a loony." Kisara looked around and sure enough people were walking away faster.

"Pfft. I need to get going now anyways. Goodbye Kisara, good luck!" Mana skipped away. Kisara waved and jumped when she spun around.

"Yikes! Oh thanks." Julia handed Kisara her no water filled bucket.

"Feeling better now that you've met your old friend? That bucket was heavy!" Kisara nodded, her shoulders sagged from the weight.

"Ye-yes I am. I'm not worried anymore."

"Gretta and Rosanne have been suspended for a month." Julia yawned and a smug face.

"Oh poor things, I wonder why they did that."

"How can you pity them? Saint." Julia slouched and made her way to the rose bushes. "I hate trimming these things." Kisara ignored her and walked away to return to her work.

"Goodnight!"

"Goodnight."

"Shut up!"

"Night."

The girls said goodnight, except Tammy who'd rather not. Kisara snuggled into her bed and tried to forget the events today, except Mana. She didn't know how many hours had passed but she felt herself becoming conscious. Aww man! I'm comfy, leave me alone morning. She turned over and her flung her eyes open. This isn't my bed! This isn't Seto's mansion! Where am I!? Kisara sat up, the brown warm blanket clutched in hand. Something stirred near her, she looked down at her counterpart's sleeping face. There were bruises and minor cuts but she seemed okay. Now what!? Kisara's face flushed deeply when she noticed a hand reach and touch the sleeping Kisara's cheek. She trailed her eyes up the tanned arm to see Seto. He looked concerned and upset.

"Seto…" Kisara jumped, seemingly at her words, Seto stood up and left the room. Kisara held her face in her hands as her heart pounded in her ears.

"He cares, don't lie anymore. He brought me here after the rock attack, to keep me safe again." Sleeping Kisara smiled at what she'd said.

"Really? He remembers you…me?" Kisara still covered her face.

"Seto Kaiba, he remembers you. He's already seen the world and helped prevent history repeat. Now it's only us left."

"I'll do my best, but I don't know what to do. I...I think I love Seto! I think…but I don't know what-how…what can I do? What's going to happen?"

Kisara had closed her eyes again. She seemed to be ignoring her.

"No! Tell me! I don't want anything bad to happen, help me. Please, my old self, help."

"I am. Not only I but others." Almost on cue, the door reopened. Egyptian Mana appeared and smiled. She skipped over to the bedside and kneeled by it.

"I'm not supposed to be here so I need to thank you. Priest Seto didn't bother to stop me; you've made him much happier. Please continue to do so." Mana patted Egyptian Kisara's hand. She stared right through modern Kisara.

"There you are! Don't bother her Mana, back to your studies." A tall man with long purple hair appeared sternly at the door. Mana pouted and turned to face him.

"Aww Master Mahado, I just wanted to thank her. No one's going to be hurt and I'll study extra hard!" Kisara's eyes widened.

"Is history already repeating for me?"

"Yes it is, myself." Kisara turned over; her eyes met the wallpaper she knew. She was back from her trip. She buried her face into her pillow and sighed. Her heart ached and her head buzzed. Why me!? Why only me? Why not another person? She clung tighter to the fabric as she became scared. The future, Kisara now feared it. She had changed from her a few weeks ago. She turned over again and saw Julia. She was still, the pillow over her head. The other girls' sleeping breathes were lost as her heart pounded in her head again. She jumped from her bed and shoved Julia. She reacted by slamming the pillow at Kisara and knock her back.

"Jesus! Don't scare me like that!" Julia whispered furiously.

"Sorry. I just thought…" Kisara began to feel embarrassed and foolish.

"I'm not like that Kisara. I really want to get back to sleep." Julia groped around for her other pillow and lazily let her head fall onto it. Great, bathroom calls oh yeah that rule! Kisara quickly and quietly changed into her uniform and left. She took a chance since she still didn't know her way. The quiet was calming and Kisara welcome it. An unexpected noise made Kisara fall to the ground in fear. A growl? What is it!? Sat stunned wide eyed but relaxed at his voice.

"Sorry, I coughed." His never changing tone was reassuring.

"Seto! Welcome back?" Kisara jumped up and turned around. She pulled a Mana and hugged him as soon as she was fully spun around. He patted her back not seeming to remind.

"Bad unexpected weather forced me to come back. Why are you up so late?" He continued to pat seeing as how Kisara wouldn't let go. Her face became red and she drew back.

"A aaahhh hehee, bathroom." She muttered quietly. Seto looked down at her having not heard her.

"Hm?"

"Bathroom." Kisara turned her head up and away. "I don't know my way around here."

"Down the hall and to the left. Goodnight Kisara." He turned away and turned away. Kisara clenched her fist. Ask him now, you need to know.

"Seto!" she called just as loud as she needed, he turned around curious.

"Yes?"

"Ah…Thanks for helping me so much! Goodnight to you to." Idiot you blew it! Kisara turned, her head hung as she followed the directions.

Seto walked to his room but he was still wondering what Kisara was going to ask. In his mind flashed and image he prayed would never come true in this era. He turned around but Kisara was already gone. He frowned and shook his head clear.

SORRY! Microsoft Word's been acting up lately and I don't know why. Reason I've uploaded two stories in one day is because I managed to finish the other one before on notepad (paste and copied) and I finished this today so please enjoy~
