Fitting six people in an elevator probably wasn't the best idea. Especially when at least half of them are psychopaths. But, nonetheless, we all fit, though I was smooshed between Bakura and the wall. It's worse considering this was, like, the slowest elevator ever! You would think that Kaiba so advanced, that their elevators went at a decent last we made it to the room the receptionist told us he was in. I knocked but no one opened it. "It's empty. Let's go." Bakura growled, pulling on my wrist. I shook my head, and put my ear to the cold metal. Someone was in there. I could hear them breathing.
"Yeah, empty my butt." I reply, kicking open whilst rolling my eyes. There's a small, cozy room, which surprised me.
"Excuse me, you need to leave." Mokuba? I glanced over at him and- SWEET JUMPING SARCOPHAGUS! Kisara? But didn't she die? Or was she reincarnated?She was rubbing a very bedraggled looking Seto, while his younger brother looked at us with stern eyes.
"What happened?"
Mokuba groaned in annoyance and plopped down next to his brother. "This girl just... just... beat him up. She went overboard, but Seto was being rude and ,so, yeah."
Kaiba glanced over and growled, but his black eye threw off the intimidation act. "It's none of your damn business, now get the he-" I cut him off by throwing my pocket knife at him. It missed, naturally, but just barely. His expression was priceless, but he got the hint, and looked at the ground.
I let out a small burst of laughter. "Ah, Kaiba, still arrogant as me, Who was this girl?" I asked, ignoring the confused glances I received from the others.
"I barely know her. She was kinda tall, with long brown hair. She said her name is... um... Hikaru? No... Hikama-"
"Hikari." my heart was going rapid fire. She was here. How could I have... the elevator. That blasted elevator. She was the girl riding down.
"Yeah! How do you know?" he asked, cocking his head.
"How long ago did she leave?" I asked, my voice cracking in desperation. I might be able to get to her again. If she just left, I could catch up with her. I would have my best friend back.
"Just now, actually. Hey are you alri-" but I never heard what he said. By the time he finished that first sentence, I was out the door, running to the stairs. The elevator would take to much time. My lungs were burning, but I didn't care. If I can just see her, see that she is safe and happy, then I can relax. Then those horrible thoughts will go away. At last I reached the first floor, and with demonic speed,I flew out the door. She was there. I could see her. But just barely. So close... everything around me was a giant swirl of worn out places, and unfamiliar faces. Then, everything tipped and pain shot up my hands and leg.
"Imate!" My heart was pounding in my ears, and soon all other sound was blocked. I registered multiple faces coming in and out of my view, and I could see mouths moving, but I heard no words. Just Laughter. I knew it was just a memory, just a figment of my imagination brought to me by the oh so pleasant pain and light headedness. Out of habit, I curled into a ball and whimpered, before everything went black...
(Fluffy's pov. that means Bakura.)
I ended up having to carry her home, and the whole way there she was curled up, her body shivering, yet at the same time she was sweating. We figured that once she woke up, we would take her to the doctor. She insisted that she was fine, that she was just tired, but I forced her to come anyways. I mean, the faster she gets better, the faster she finds her friend and leaves, right? Well, her ankle was badly sprained, and she got a few tests done. The doctor had shooed us out the room to tell her something. However, when we asked what he said, she waved her hand and said that he was asking more personal questions.
And for the rest of the week, it was bed rest.
Well, at least that's what the doctor said. But she... it was like nothing happened. She made breakfast, she cleaned, and played a piano I didn't even knew existed.. It rained and she went outside and just stood there. I wanted to go out there to pull her back inside, but her expression told me otherwise. I just don't get her, and quite frankly, it was pissing me off. All week, she was making sure we were comfortable and well fed and whenever we tried to help her, she would just turn it around. And she never told us about herself. The only thing I knew about her, was her name and that her food was amazing. One day that fact just drove me crazy. I snapped. I cornered her, blocking her with my body so she couldn't escape. "Who are you?" Then the stupid oven beeped and she shimmied out and got back to her usual routine. Everything went by smoothly after that. But then... I woke up in the middle of the night, hungry. So, I walked to the kitchen. She sat at the table, shifting through dozens of maps of Domino city. X's ran wild across them. She didn't even notice me, just stared at them.
It got worse as day's went by. She stopped cleaning and cooking at one point, and we got concerned. By we I mean the others. She didn't even acknowledge only time we saw her do something besides work on those bloody maps was when I returned her pocket knife, which I'm surprised how well she could handle it. She blinked, picked it up by her pointer and thumb, and grunted a thanks. That's it. Whatever,at least she was being quiet, unlike the others, who were driving me insane. Particularly a certain pair who kept teasing me about that night I had slept in her bed. It wasn't my fault. I got... scared and she was soft and inviting. What the bugger? I've been hanging around softies too much... or something like that.
(Imate's pov)
I was so close. A map was splayed in front of me on my bedroom wall, marks all over it. Except in two areas. That's when I remembered what direction she was walking in. West. Ha! That was it! The final piece of the puzzle. I raised my handy dandy pocket knife and through it at the map. Right in the center of the cleared area. I smirked and looked out the window.
"Checkmate."
Sorry for the lateness and the shortness. and Hikari, yes I changed a few part. But I posted it. And I got a little character depth for Imate. Well, I feel like I did. well, comments are love.
