Mira's P.O.V

I stood in front of the Kaiba Corp. duel tower, my deck in her hand. 'Kaiba, I don't know why you're doing this, but I'll found out.' I thought. I start to walk in when I hear a "MIRA!" I look behind me and guess who I see...

"What are you guys doing here? DID YOU FOLLOW ME?!" I ask them. Jounouchi tackles me.

"Baby! I'm so glad to see you! I've been so worried! We all have..." I pushed him off of me.

"Look I don't like you alright, so stop calling me those stupid nicknames." Jounouchi looked hurt, but I didn't care. I turned to the rest of them. "And you didn't answered my question."

"We were worried like Jounouchi said, so we followed you." Miho said.

"Did I ask you to follow me?" I yelled in her face. Honda jumped in front of me.

"Leave her alone! She was only answering your question! We just want to help!"

"Don't you guys get it?! I don't want your help! Especially, yours!" I said looking at Yugi. He jumped a little. "Look, Don't follow me! Just leave me alone." And I walked away from them not looking back...but they followed me anyway. I took the elevator to the top where Seto was waiting. Apparently, he dyed his hair...brown...

He looked at me, "Miranda."

"Seto."

"Did you have to bring them with you?"

"They followed me." Kaiba sighed. I just realized, he's acting...calm?

"Lets just get on with the duel." He said. The others watched from the sideline as we sat down. And so we began...

****SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DUEL****

Kaiba :1200 Me: 800

Kaiba has Cyclops, 1200, in attack mode on the field. I have no monsters.

"My turn." I say and put my hand on my deck. 'This is it. There's only card in my deck that can maybe snap Seto back to his old self. If I can draw it, maybe Seto will realize what he is doing is wrong. Its all up to fate now.' I thought as I drew. I smirked at my card. I put one card face down, and play...MY DARK MAGICIAN!" I said as it appeared on the field. My dark magician was different though. It was blue, not purple. Kaiba's eyes widened, then narrowed again. All of a sudden, Mokuba comes in out of nowhere.

"Nii-sama! Nii-sama!" He shouts running to his brother's side. "T-That's the card...the one you gave her..."

"I know." Seto said with no emotion. "And do you remember that day? I am very clearly now..." He smirks at me, I don't know why...but then...then I remember...

Flashback

Mokuba, Seto, and I stood in front of my grandmother's house. A car waited outside. I was saying goodbye...

"I have to go now. It was nice meeting you guys. I had a lot of fun with you guys this week. I'll miss you, Mokie, Seto." I told them. The two boys had there heads down in silence, until Mokuba bursted into tears.

"I don't want you to leave! I want keep playing with us forever!" The little boy shouted hugging me. I hugged him back.

"I know. But maybe, I'll come back and visit soon."

Mokuba looked up, "Promise?!"

"Promise." Seto held out his left hand.

"This is for you..." He said holding out a little box.

"For me?" He nodded. I opened it and saw whats inside...

"No Way! This is that rare card from the game shop! Wait, DID YOU STEAL IT?!"

"NO! The owner gave it to me. He saw how much you liked it, and how much I wanted you to have it, that he gave it to me to surprise you with..." I engulfed him with a hug.

"OH SETO! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" I kissed him. He blushed red as a tomato. Then I kissed Mokuba on the cheek, he blushed too. I hugged both boys. "Write to me. Both of you. Please?!"

"We will." The car horn beeped.

"I gotta go." I let them go and ran to the car.

"Don't forget us!" Mokuba shouted.

"We won't forget you!" Seto shouted.

"GOODBYE! I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU BOTH! AND I'LL TREASURE YOU CARD ALWAYS SETO!" I shouted from the car window.

End of Flashback

I looked down at the field. "I...remember."

Seto chuckled at my expression, "Yeah, we did everything that week. Play games, go to parks, go to game shops..." Seto glared at Yugi. Yugi looked confused at him, but said nothing. "...we even dueled. But...If I do recall, back then...your name wasn't Miranda Willows..." I jerked my head up and glared at him. It was like I was daring him to tell the secret that I have kept ever since that very day I dueled Kaiba. "Your name was Miranda Hytower."

That's it. He said it. I became wide eyed as I sat there, in shock. For what reason, I don't know. I should have known that Seto would tell them.

"Miranda Hytower?" Yugi repeated. Then Jounouchi became wide eyed.

"Wait, Miranda Hytower?! I remember that name! I was looking up old duel monsters tournaments online to come up with some strategies to improve my game, when I saw that girl on a bunch of videos. She was a 11-year-old child prodigy in duel monsters in America, then she just disappeared after she won 3rd place in her last tournament. You're telling me Mira-chan's her?" He asked.

"She knew I would come after her to made sure she would keep her mouth shut, so she changed her name so I wouldn't find her." Seto explained.

"Keep her mouth shut...?" Yugi repeated.

"About what?!" Jounouchi asked.

All I had to do, was call an attack on Kaiba. And he would lose. No more getting beat up, no more threats. But, I couldn't hear anymore. I had to get out of there. No matter if I lose the duel...

I put my hand on the top of my deck, "I...surrender." The gang gasped.

"What?" Seto asked not believing what I said.

"I surrender. You win." I got up and ran out of the building, crying, not paying attention to them yelling...my real name.

Yugi's P.O.V.

I ran to Mira's house. Mira had left her deck at the duel area and I wanted to give it back to her. Plus I wanted some answers...and maybe to comfort her. I knocked on the door. Her parents told me that she was upset in her room so that's where I went. I approached her bedroom door, realizing I had never entered a girl's room before. I slowly opened it, revealing Mira laying on her bed crying. I hate when she's upset.

"Miranda..." I say. She looks up from her pillow, then throws it at me.

"Yugi Get Out!" She yells at me, then continues to cry. I was hurt.

"Mira, you didn't have to yell at me." I whined with a hurt expression. She sat up.

"I'm sorry okay. But I don't feel like talking to anyone right know." Mira said wiping away some tears. I placed her deck on her desk, and began to walk away. "You know what, fine. Ask all the questions you want, I'll answer them." I guess she changed her mind. I didn't want to interrogate her but if I didn't ask now, she probably would answer me later.

Mira's P.O.V.

Yugi sat down in a chair next to my bed. "All I want to know, is if what Jounouchi and Kaiba-kun were saying is true. Is your last name really Hytower?"

"Yes and No." I told him. "That was my last name. But like Kaiba said, I changed it. When I changed my name, I put all of that stuff about being a child duel monsters prodigy behind me and took on a new identity, all so Seto wouldn't find me. With the help of my parents, I was able to switch from being a high class celebrity in America, to a low class loser in Japan who got bullied because she was different. Just like everyone else. I still wonder what would have happened if I didn't change. If I just stayed who I was. But I'll never know, cause Seto ruined my life, because of a card game, that he cheated in. Seto was that one person who was my real friend, but now, he's not. And I'm alone. Again. Just like I was before I met him."

I tried not to cry again, but tears were leaking from my eyes. All of a sudden, he grabbed me by my wrists and pinned me on my bed, my arms on each side of my head. "Yugi what are you doing?" I asked him. I looked at Yugi, his expression was dark, his bangs covered his face.

"How can you say that?" He says not changing his dark expression. And might I add, I could tell this was Yugi doing this. "You have friends. Ones that care about you, want to help you when your hurt or in pain. But all you care about is being friends with Kaiba."

"Thats not true..."

"I didn't ask you to speak." I shut my mouth not wanting to find out what happens if I continue to talk. "He threatened you, had people beat you up, even destroyed your life. But yet, you still want to be his friend. You want to hold on to a part of Kaiba that's not even there anymore. Why Miranda? Why put yourself through hell because you want to save someone who doesn't even care about you? You have people that actually care about you, right in front of you. But you're too blind to see that."

"Yugi..." He let go of one of my wrist and put a finger to my mouth. His purple eyes stared into my green ones.

"I want to show you." Yugi lowered his mouth closer to mine. My eyes widened as he pressed his lips against mine. I tried to pull away but he pushed even closer. Finally I just gave up and closed eyes. His fingers then entangled in mine as the kiss deepened. His kiss was sweet, and comforting. Then it started to heat up a little. He tried to slip his tongue in my mouth but I wouldn't let him. He let out a faint growl then bit my bottom lip. Right then, I had a feeling that Dark Yugi had taken over. I moaned giving him the advantage to slip it in there anyway, but he had to deal with my tongue. And so the battle for dominance began. But of course he won though. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist, hugging me tightly. His kiss became a little spicy, but that just added on to the intenseness. I never felt this way before. He made me feel wanted, appreciated, loved. Then we broke away, panting. "Mission...Accomplished." I said. I looked into his crimson eyes and he looked into mine. And then guess what happened...

"Miranda, dear..." My mom knocked on the door. Our eyes widened. I fiercely pulled the covers of my bed Dark Yugi. "Are you okay in there?" She asked from the other side of the door.

"Uh...yeah mom!" I shouted back to her. Dark Yugi slowly peeled the covers off of him, so that only his eyes showed.

"I just wanted to know if your friend would like to say for dinner."

"Thats fine." Dark Yugi said in the squeakiest voice I'd ever heard. He quickly covered his mouth and blushed in embarrassment. I giggled. He smiled at me.

"Okay, dinners ready in 5 minutes." She said walking back downstairs. We both let out a sigh.

"That was close." I told Dark Yugi. Then we started kissing again until mom came back upstairs to call is for dinner.

*****The next day*****

I was at lunch waiting for Yugi and his friends to arrive. I thought about kissing Yugi. How passionate it was. I had never felt that before. Then Seto comes up to me, his hands behind his back. I scowl. Then hands me a rose.

He whispers in my ear. "I want to talk to you."

Yugi's P.O.V.

I walking to lunch thinking about kissing Mira. Strange, I did feel a little different but I didn't black out like usually do. Jounouchi then stops me before I enter the cafeteria.

"What's up Jounouchi?" I ask. Jounouchi didn't look amused.

"Yugi, you like Miranda don't you? That's why you didn't want me to call her my girlfriend."

"Uh..."

"Well now neither of us will have her now."

"What do you mean?"

"She's taken." My eyes widened.

"WHAT?! BY WHOM?!" He pointed down the hall. We saw Miranda and Seto coming down the hall, holding hands.

Jounouchi scoffed, "Seto and Mira just got together."
