MPK: I think this is, yup it is, this the last chapter. Hope you've enjoyed the story!
Author's note: Dark Yugi might or might not be OOC in this chapter. Kaiba too, DEFINITELY KAIBA.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, only Miranda. Steal her = GET SENT TO THE SHADOW REALM!
Narrator's P.O.V.
Miranda thought on the way to school. 'I'm done with Kaiba. He's not the person I used to know. He's mean, cruel, stubborn, and heartless. Yugi helped me realize that. HE EVEN SAID HE LOVED ME?! I never thought about going out with Yugi. Yugi is such a nice guy. He's cute, he's nice, a gamer... OUCH!' Mira bumped into a pole. "I gotta watch where I'm going." She told myself. Since she walks past by Yugi's house on the way, she knocked to see if he wanted to walk with her.
"Hi Mr. Muotu. Has Yugi left yet?"
"Oh! And call me Gramps! Everyone does!" He let her in. "Anyway, he was just about to. YUGI! SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU! You must be Miranda. Yugi's told me so much about you. Every time I ask him about school, its Miranda this, Miranda that. I think he may have a crush on you. Yugi is having his first crush. Ah, young love..."
'Yugi's never had a crush...' Mira thought.
"Grandpa! Stop telling my business!" Yugi said rushing down the stairs a huge blush on his face. "AHH!" He suddenly tripped and fell on her.
"Ouch!" Miranda moaned.
"Gomennasai, Mira-chan!" Yugi said helping her up.
"Its alright." She said. Gramps looked at them suspiciously.
"Miranda, have I met you before?"
"Uh, not that I know of."
"Did you know...a Miranda Hytower?" Mira cringed and looked away.
"Uh Grandpa, that was her old name." Gramps walked over to her.
"MIRANDA! IS THAT YOU?! YOU'VE GOTTEN SO BIG! ESPECIALLY YOUR CHEST! ITS ABOUT AS BIG AS TEA'S!" He said hugging the girl. (A/N: See what I did there?)
"Excuse me?!"
"GRANDPA!"
"Sorry. Its just this is how I act after I've seen someone I haven't seen in a long time."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Miranda told him.
Grandpa gasped, "You mean You don't remember me?!"
"No. Should I?"
An anime dark cloud hung over his head, "No one remembers an old man like me." He turned to Yugi. "Yugi, you don't remember her from back then?"
"Uh, No."
"You too?! Wow. Young people." Gramps thought for a moment. "Miranda, do you still have a certain, 'blue magician' in your deck? I'm assuming you still play duel monsters."
Mira took her deck out my pocket, searching for a 'blue magician', then it hit her. "How did you know my dark magician was blue?"
"Do you remember where and when you first saw that card?" Gramps asked ignoring her question.
"Um..." And then Miranda's eyes widened as she remembered that day. It was Mira's last day in Japan...
Flashback
"Miranda-chan! Where should we go next?!" 8-year-old Seto asked.
"Its your last day here and we want to make it special!" Kid Mokuba says. (MPK: I couldn't find Mokuba's age, so I couldn't figure out how old he would be if Seto was 8. Major bummer.)
The brothers dragged 8-year-old Miranda down the street, " I don't know."
"Ooh! A game shop!" Mokuba shouted. They walked in front of the game shop.
"Kame Game." Seto read.
"Lets check it out." She said walking in.
"Wait for us!" The brothers shouted and followed her. The 3 gasped.
"A-amazing." Mokuba said.
"I-Incredible." Seto said.
"THIS PLACE IS SO COOL! LOOK AT ALL THE GAMES AND TRADING CARDS!" Just then something caught her eyes. "Look its the dark magician!" She ran over to it. The card shimmered in the glass case. The boys walked over.
"I thought the dark magician was purple?" Mokuba asked.
"This one is blue, cause its a rare card. Seto made me look it up." Miranda said. They didn't notice someone coming up behind them.
"That's what I'll do!" Seto said. "I'll get you that card! Then you'll have something to remember us by when you go back to America."
Miranda admired Seto's courage but frowned, "Seto, its 7,000 yen." (A/N: 7,000 yen= $70.42! XD! Then again...thats still a lot...at least for me...)
Seto anime fell. "7,000 YEN!"
"It was a nice thought." Seto frowned.
"Are you kids looking for something in particular?" a voice said from behind them. They turned around and immediately screamed. "Please, stop! You're hurting my eardrums!" They stopped screaming.
"Who's the old guy?" Mokuba asked.
"Mokie!" Mira shouted. "That's not nice."
"You must be the owner." Seto said.
"I'm Solomon Moutu, but you can call me gramps. Everyone does! Welcome to Kame Game!"
"Nice to meet you, uh...gramps." Mira nudged the boys.
"Uh, yeah nice to meet you."
"So see anything you like?"
"I wanted to get this card for my friend here," Seto explained. "But it cost too much." Seto frowned.
"Just forget about it, Seto. I don't need it anyway. Its just a card." Miranda put a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, but I wanted to get you something really special." Seto began to tear up. Solomon noticed this.
Suddenly a boy came running down the steps with a box in his hand. "Grandpa! Look what I found..." The boy tripped over the stairs and fell on Miranda.
"Miranda-chan!" The brothers shouted.
"Gomennasai! Gomennasai!" The boy said helping her up.
"Its alright." She said. Seto rushed to her side pushing the boy out the way. He fell on the floor.
"Mira! Are you okay?!" Before she could answer, he turned to the boy. "Would you watch where your going?! She could have been hurt!"
The boy started to tear up. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to trip and fall on her. Honest..."
"YES YOU DID! IF YOU DIDN'T, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FELL ON HER! YOU LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!" Everyone was amazed at Seto's sudden change of tone. The boy began to cry.
"SETO! THAT WAS MEAN!" Mira pushed past him and knelt next to the boy.
"Yeah, Seto. Not cool." Mokuba said picking up the last of the puzzle pieces that was in the box the boy dropped. He handed them to him.
"Are you okay?" Miranda asked the boy.
"I'm fine." The boy stopped crying.
"Seto didn't mean what he said, did you Seto?"
"But he..."
"DID YOU SETO?!" Mira shouted glaring at the boy.
"Alright!" Seto walked over to the boy. "I didn't mean what I said."
"And?"
"And your not a pipsqueak."
"And?"
"And I'm sorry."
"Good." Mira said. He helped the boy up. "Whats ur name?"
"Yugi. Yugi Muotu."
"I'm Miranda Hytower, and this Mokuba and the boy who yelled at you, Seto."
"Hey! You don't have to rub it in!"
"How old are you?" Mokuba asked.
"8." The 3 looked at him. Seto and Chelsea chuckled. Mokuba was confused.
"Are you serious?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"No, that can't be right. You don't look at eight." Mira told him.
"How old do you think I am?" Yugi asked.
"About 3." Yugi went wide eyed.
"3?! 3! I know I'm short, but 3?! Look in my family everyone is short and..." As Yugi began his rant, Seto started looking at the card again.
"You really want to get that card for your friend, don't you?" Solomon asked Seto.
"Yeah, Mira deserves it. I wish there was some way to pay for it. I'd do anything to get it."
"What if I gave you the card, for free?" Seto looked at him.
"Really?!"
"On one condition."
"Name it."
"You and your friend respect and take care your cards."
"We will. We will!" Grandpa unlocked the safe, and handed him the card.
"Here you are."
"Domo Arigatou! Gramps!" He said glomping the old man. Miranda looked at her watch.
"Guys we gotta go! I have to be at the house now! Thank you and goodbye!" She ran out and the boys followed saying the same thing. But Miranda ran back in, and gave Yugi a hug. "Sorry about Seto. He was just being stupid. Anyway, it was nice meeting you, Yugi." She gave Yugi a kiss on the cheek and ran out again, leaving the old man and a blushing 8-year-old boy.
End of Flashback
"I remember too." Yugi said blushing. "That was when I first found the millennium puzzle and, well...met you..." He trailed off.
"I'm glad to see you kids remember. Now you better get going, or you're gonna get late to school." Gramps said practically pushing Yugi and Miranda out the door. After the went outside, the 2 teens barely exchanged words on the walk to school cause they were so embarrassed.
Mira's P.O.V.
At lunch, before lunch was over, Yugi came up to me in the hallway. The only thing was, it wasn't Yugi who approached me, which made me a little scared. How come ever time we meet up, we're always alone?
"Dark Yugi, what's up?" I asked. He looked at me, but said nothing. "Hey, you okay?" He narrowed his eyes. "Okay, What did I d..." But before I could finish he pinned me against the lockers. Why does he always do that? He leaned over to whisper something in my ear. I could feel his breath hot on my neck.
"So kawaii..." He whispered. The next thing you know, we were kissing. He even did a couple things I wasn't expecting. All I can tell you is, he left a hickey...The bell rings and he lets me go. "That was fun. Lets do it again sometime. I'll see you after school." Dark Yugi whispers to me. He smirks at me then walks to class, leaving me with the huge blush on my face for everyone to see. I pulled up my shirt collar to make sure my hickey was invisible.
In 4th period, I sat there in class thinking about Yugi again. 'He's cute, funny, and a nice guy. I said that before. But its true! Yugi makes me feel things I've never felt before. And I like it. I was so dumb to think Seto was the one for me. Yugi is. I think...'
"Ms. Willows."
'I think...'
"Ms. W~Willows."
'I THINK I LOVE HIM!'
"MS. WILLOWS!" I look up at the teacher. "Pay attention! Before I give you detention!" She yells at me. 'Hey, that rhymes...' I do what she says...but I still think...'That's it. I'm done with Kaiba, for good. After school, I'm gonna break it off. Its over.'
After school, I text Seto to meet me on the roof. When I get there, he's already waiting for me.
"You called?" Kaiba says to me as I approach him. He tries to kiss me but I back away.
"Kaiba. Stop."
"Whats wrong? You never call me by my last name."
"I called by your real name for once. You aren't Seto anymore, You're a Kaiba."
"What?" Seto looked confused. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying, you're not the boy I used to know. You're a cold-hearted, self centered jerk. And I'm done. I'm done hanging on to someone who's not even there anymore. Its over Kaiba. Deals off." I started to walk away. Kaiba ran in front off me.
"Miranda, you don't mean that..."
"I used to think I could help you. I used to think that you needed me as much as I needed you. But I was wrong. You don't need me, you can take care of yourself. I can't believe I made myself do something I would never ever do, all because I tried to prove to you how much I love you. Yugi was right. You're just hurting me the more I hold on to you. So I'm finally letting go." I started to walk away again. He grabbed my arm.
"What's with the sudden change of..." My shirt collar suddenly fell and Kaiba saw the hickey. "No, Yugi did this, didn't he? He messed with your head just like he messed up mine!" Kaiba grabbed my other arm and I think I felt my foot go off the side of the edge.
"Kaiba, wait..."
"I can't believe you fell for that, little kid. Is that really what you want..."
"Kaiba, stop..."
"You want to be with a little kid? You don't deserve to be with a little kid, you deserve to be with a man!"
"And you think you're a man? Well newsflash, you're not! I'm glad that I'm done with you! Yugi is more of a man than you will ever be!" Suddenly Kaiba held me over the edge. "Kaiba! What are you doing?!"
Kaiba's suddenly changed. His face showed a darker expression I've never seen him have before. "If I can't have you...then no one can!" He pushed over the edge. I started to fall screaming. I thought I was going to die. That was, until I felt a rope slip through my fingers and I stop in mid air, I don't know how but I stop. Suddenly I feel sleepy. I look up and see right before I black out...Yugi's millennium puzzle?
Dark Yugi's P.O.V.
I'm waiting outside for Mira. But something's not right, I can sense it. I walked back into the building to look for her, when I start to hear screaming. I look out to the window to see Mira, falling. "Miranda!" I shouted. With a lot of quick thinking, I use the power of the millennium puzzle to stop her from falling. If it wasn't for that book...I run to the roof to rescue her. When I get there, guess who I see looking down on her. . .KAIBA. HE DID THIS TO HER. . .
"What the~! She didn't fall! Wait, Yugi's millennium puzzle?" He turns around to see me and walks toward me. "I knew you were behind this, Yu..." He he finally looks at me to see the eye of Horus on my forehead and mix match eyes. (Season 0 "Door of Darkness" face) "What's up with you? Woke up on the~" I punched the a**hole is the face knocking him to the ground. "WHAT THE~" I punched him again. Then I just gave him an all out beat down. Yeah, I did it. Hey! I mad as hell right now! I pick him up by the collar.
"KAIBA! I COULD KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MIRANDA! SHE WOULD'VE DIED IF IT WASN'T FOR ME! THERE'S ONLY ONE THING STOPPING ME FOR SENDING YOUR A** TO HELL, AND THAT IS YOUR LITTLE BROTHER. YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE THERE FOR HIM, PROTECT AND TAKE CARE OF HIM, BUT ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS CONTINUE TO ACT LIKE A SPOILED, RICH DOUCHE BAG! I'VE TRIED TO SHOW YOU THE LIGHT KAIBA, WE ALL HAVE, BUT YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE DARKNESS WITHIN YOUR HEART! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! KAIBA, LOOK AROUND YOU! YOU'RE HURTING EVERYONE AROUND YOU!" Kaiba only stared at me in shock. The millennium eye glowed on my forehead brighter than ever.
"THIS IS FOR YUGI!" I punch him in the face. "THIS IS FOR MIRA!" I punched him in the stomach. "THIS IS FOR MOKUBA!" I kicked him in the nuts. "AND THIS. . .IS FOR YOURSELF!" I kicked him one last time. Kaiba laid on the ground, moaning in pain. He barely looked alive, but I didn't care. I ran over to the edge and used my new found powers to bring her up to me. I picked Mira up bridal style and started to head for the door.
"Yugi, wait." Kaiba said weakly. I stopped, my yellow bangs covered my face showing a dark expression. "You're right. I shouldn't have taken advantage of Miranda. She was just trying to be my friend. . . And I just used her to get revenge against you. Everything you said was right. I'm sorry, Yugi." (MPK: WHOA! KAIBA SAID HE'S SORRY! SOMEBODY CALL THE NEWSPAPERS!) I started to leave again, but not before I heard him say..."Yugi, Take care of her."
Narrator's P.O.V.
A bed. A bed was the first thing Miranda felt when she awoke. But what she saw, was a whole other story. What she saw, were crimson eyes staring down at her. Dark Yugi's to be exact. Then she realized he was on top her as she laid on the bed, his arms were on both sides of her. Miranda blushed red.
Dark Yugi looked down at her, "I'm so glad your awake."
"Y-You s-saved me." Was all Miranda could say. Dark Yugi. . . smiled.
"Want to know why?" He leaned in a little closer. "Because I love you." He was about to kiss her.
"D-Dark Yugi..." Looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
"I, I..." Mira stuttered. "I...I love you, too." Dark Yugi's eyes widened, but then glowed with happiness. He had waited to hear that for so long. He looked into her eyes, then pressed his lips against hers. It wasn't long before Miranda started to feel tongue. He wrapped his arms around her and Mira wrapped her arms around his neck. It was all she could do to prevent herself from wrapping her legs around his waist. Then he made a trail of kisses down the side of her face until he reached her neck. He sucked on it a little, making her moan with delight. Their fingers interlocked perfectly as they gripped each others hand. Then he kissed her again. The passion and intenseness was unbelievable. He started to unbutton her shirt, neither of them not knowing how much things were heating up. But before he could do anything else...
"YUGI! IS MIRANDA UP AWAKE YET?!" Gramps yelled from the other side of the door. They pulled away, hearts pounding like a drum. 1, because they were out of breath and 2, they were scared as hell. Dark Yugi covered Miranda's mouth with his hand.
"Uh...no Grandpa!" He shouted to him in Yugi's voice. It was kinda hard since he was basically gasping for air.
"Oh. Never mind then. Let me know when she's awake, so I can get her some dinner." Gramps went back down stairs.
"Okay!" Dark Yugi shouted and looked at Mira. They sighed in relief. Dark Yugi plopped next to her on the bed. "That was close."
"Too close."
He looked at her, "You're always trying to get me in trouble."
"No I'm~" Dark Yugi put a finger to her mouth.
"I never said I didn't like it." Miranda turned cherry red. He kissed her again, both of them forgetting about everything around them and only focusing on each other...for almost the entire night...
The next day. . .
"LUNCHTIME!" Honda and Jounouchi racing each other to their table. Miho walked over as well. Yugi and Miranda were having a duel.
"Those too are still at it?" She asked.
"They've only been playing for 5 minutes!" Anzu exclaimed.
"But we thought Yugi would've beaten her by now!" Honda said taking Miho's side.
"Are you kidding?!" Jounouchi said putting a hand on Miranda's shoulder. "Yugi maybe a champ, but Miranda was a duelist prodigy in America!"
"Was, is the key factor, Jou." Anzu said.
"Can you guys like shut up?" Miranda said offended and annoyed. "We're trying to have a duel here!" They all stopped talking and sat down. Suddenly Kaiba walks over. Mira glares up at him. "What do you want Kaiba?"
"Look Miranda, I just wanted to apologize." Mira's eyes widened.
"What did you say?"
"I'm sorry about all the stuff I did to you. I've hurt you long enough. I lost sight of your friendship. I wasn't a very good friend to you, and for that I am sorry." He reached into his pocket. "Here." Miranda hesitated, but took it from him. Her eyes widened again.
"T-This is..."
"That's from when we went to that carnival that week you spent with us in Japan. I've always kept since then, so that Mokuba and I would always remember you. I guess, we forgot anyway." Kaiba said bending his head down in shame. Miranda smiled.
"Kaiba, I've even forgotten about this picture. And you kept it all this time? You did remember me. Thank you." Mira put down her cards and extended out her hand. "All is forgiven. Clean slate right?"
Kaiba smiled and shook her hand, "Agreed." He turned to Yugi.
"And my apologies to you too, Yugi. I'm sorry for threatening you. You truly are a game master."
"Thanks Kaiba." Yugi told him.
"You mean game king!" Jounouchi corrected.
"Now lets just get back to this duel..." Miranda picked up her cards again.
"Oh Mira, speaking of game king..." Yugi set a card down on the field. Everyone stared at it. Mira's eyes widened.
"Yug, you won!" Jounouchi said.
"That's my Yugi!" Anzu exclaimed squeezing the baby panda to the point he couldn't breathe.
"Aw! I meant to put that card in defense mode! I was distracted!" Kaiba put a hand on Miranda's shoulder.
"Maybe next time, Miranda. Oh, I call the next duel."
"Mira and I are tired. Why don't you duel Jounouchi?" Yugi asked.
"Fine. This'll be a piece of cake. Let's do this, furry." Kaiba said sitting down.
Jounouchi took out his deck, "Bring it on, Moneybags!" (MPK: See what I did there?)
After school walking home. . .
Miranda, Yugi, Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi, Kaiba, and Miho walked home together...surprisingly.
"Nice dueling today you guys." Honda told them. "Even you, Jounouchi."
"Yeah, I just wish I hadn't lost to Kaiba."
"Well knowing a furry like you, you'll recover easily from that devastating lost. Then again, no you won't." Kaiba laughed. Jounouchi growled.
"Let me at him!" Honda held him back.
"Yugi! You duel so well!" Anzu said grabbing Yugi's arm, but he pulled away from her.
"I had a good opponent. I had to do my very best to beat someone like her." Yugi said smiling at Miranda. Mira blushed and looked in another direction. Yugi had a brain spark. "Hey Mira, remember our bet, we made before our duel?" He said a sly grin appeared on his face. Miranda turned redder.
"Y-Yeah."
"I think its time to, pay up." He said the last part in Dark Yugi's voice, making Mira redder. She slowly turned around and kissed him. Everyone went wide eyed especially Anzu. Dark Yugi put an arm around Miranda. "What? Never seen a guy kiss his girlfriend before?" Their eye's widened to the point they looked like dots. Miho and Kaiba smiled, but Jounouchi, Honda and Anzu...
"I gotta go home now and rethink my life." Jounouchi pouted. And started to walk away.
"Me too." Honda said.
"Me three." Anzu said. They followed each other.
"I lost to Kaiba!"
"Yugi got a girlfriend before me!"
"Yugi's got a girlfriend that's not me!" They all pouted. Dark Yugi raised an eyebrow at that last comment.
"Well, I guess we all have or dog days." Miranda said. "Or should I say, furry days?" They all laughed.
THE END!
MPK: That's it guys! All done! *waits* What? Nothing to say Kaiba?
Kaiba: *ice pack on head* You had me beat up and OOCed, I not saying another word.
ME: Fine. Thanks for reading! PEACE OUT!
