Chapter 6- A Rain of Trouble
I was pissed.
Pissed and soaked.
Pissed, soaked and now FREEZING COLD.
And I could do nothing about it but just throw a hissy fit on the street in front of the whole world to see. I was practically soaked from head to toe with dirty, grimy, street water. Flecks of black mud dotted my face and my coat. I shook my head vigorously, in which some of the nasty water flew off my bronze colored locks. My nose twitched as I sniffed, glaring at the street where the car once stood. I grumbled quietly, annoyed to what had just happened to me. I tapped my foot and stood there for a bit, I then lightly brushed my hand against the strap of my bag. My eyes widened in horror, "Oh no-no-no-no!" I said in a panicked tone.
I dropped my head down to my side and grabbed my bag, my heart sank when I brought it into view. The little blue jean bag had taken the brunt of most of the water, its blue faded color was now a light brown with black blotches. I rushed over to a little awning that hung over a nearby restaurant and ducked out of the rain to examine the contents of the bag. I feared the worst, especially for the cards. I unzipped the bag and to my surprise, the inside was not really bad at all, unlike its outside. Mostly everything still seemed dry... that is except for my Duel Monsters cards. Being paper, they actually soaked up some of the liquid that was seeping from the outside of the bag. I stomped my foot in aggravation. This was not supposed to happen! I took them out and examined my pockets for any more water before sticking them in and zipping them up. I did not want these to get even more wet than they already were.
I then dropped my eyes to the ground, my body suddenly lurched forward in a sneeze.
"Oh great," I sighed in annoyance. "Today could not get any worse!"
Thankfully, when I said that, it didn't rain any harder. I thought I would have jinxed myself for saying such things, but nothing happened thank goodness. And so I began my journey again, the mud on my face was all smeared at a failed attempt to get it off with an already muddy and wet jacket. I was definitely uncomfortable from being wet now. I walked on slightly hunched over, head down as I watched my feet splash in the puddles. I let out another atrocious sneeze. An old woman said "Bless you." I grumbled back a "Thank you," and continued on. Going to The Obelisk was not as easy as I originally thought it would be. I was now weary from walking and from the cold, so I took the nearest bench and flopped down for a rest, letting out a drawn out sigh. I arched my head back, the rain hit me in the face.
"I should have took the bus," I complained, but of coarse, it was WAY too late for that now. Besides, I had no cash on me, so that would not work out. I was not about to go and take money from my Dad's wallet either. That would have made me even more of a delinquent than I already was! I snorted. I stretched out my arms and opened my mouth wide, yawning as my aching bones popped from the cold.
"Oh fun, my body sounds like I'm 80!" I said to myself, resting my elbows on the back of the bench. I looked back up in the sky, letting out a little weary laugh, that made me sound a bit on the insane side.
"I really hate you Kaiba," I smiled a bit.
Have you ever been so tired, that you start laughing and acting like the world is a land of rainbows and bunnies, that if people saw you, they would either think you were high or really drunk?
That's how I was.
For whatever reason, being so cold, tired and miserable made me extremely happy, or so I thought. I was actually really angry, I couldn't believe I was going through all this crap. But yet I was in a good mood...didn't make any sense. I was now skipping, yes, skipping down the sidewalk, humming again, in which the "song" was-
"I REALLY REALLY HATE YOU SETO KAIBA YOU SNOT NOSED, FULL OF HIMSELF, EGOTISTICAL-UNGRATEFUL,RUDE, FREAKIN' JERK FACED-PAIN IN THE-"
Ah yes, I was feeling much better already.
By now, it seemed I have been walking for what seemed like HOURS. The sky was now slate-gray and the rain had now increased, practically coming down in waves upon me. There were no longer many people out on the streets walking about, the only those who were brave or stupid enough, like me, were out in this kind of weather. Thunder cracked high above as lightning streaked across the sky in a desperate race against each other. My bag was now strapped inside of my coat, where it should have been in the first place. I chewed lazily on a piece of granola, squinting my eyes as I try to see ahead of me.
I was practically in a cloud.
I could not see more than 6 feet ahead of me, the rest was nothing but a wall of hard rain. The rest of my granola bar disappeared into my mouth, I then ran under the nearest building ledge, which provided little shelter from the elements. I shivered. Another crack of thunder, this time was closer. My eyes grew wide in amazement. I was never out in this kind of weather before. This was complete and utter madness. Mother Nature was really pounding on me now. I looked up at the sky and laughed quite loudly in amazement, not that anyone was around or could hear it for the matter. The world was totally against me for going to see Seto Kaiba. But Mother Nature and the world could not stop me, I was going to do this, no matter what was thrown at me. A huge gust of wind came, which blew the hood off from my head. I shielded my eyes from the sleet like rain that was trying to hit me in the face. The wind stopped momentarily, that's when I suddenly got the feeling I should probably switch my cards back to back, now that it was drier. I took the opportunity, whipping my cards out I unzipped the top of my jacket and opened my bag, putting the cards in I quickly checked the bottom of my bag and took out my prized card from its safe place to see if it was still okay. Checking it over, I then zipped up my bag quickly just as another gale came slamming me in the face. Stunned, I lifted my arm to shield my face, I slowly opened my eyes. Starting to stumble backwards, I saw a glimpse of a silhouette on the inside of the door frame off to my side, but I dismissed it as another guy trying to get out of the weather. I grabbed my hood and firmly pulled it over my head and held tight. I had to get a move on!
I then tread forward, the wind pushing me back. I would push hard, it would push harder. It was like a wrestling match, me against the wind, in which the wind was winning. But I was not about to give up, I didn't come all this way just to give up now and go home a baby because a little rain and wind got in the way.
'Is that all you got?' I taunted the weather, smirking as I kept trudging forward. I no longer could see a living soul on the streets now, they had all gathered in the shops and cafe's, safe from the ice and rain. They must of thought I was insane to still be out in this weather, I was starting to think that as well. Suddenly, I felt a hand roughly place itself on my shoulder, in which made every hair on my body stand on end. I whipped around, to see a teen, probably the same age as me, maybe about 2 inches taller, his brown spiked locks were now laying in every which direction on his face, practically hiding his light blue eyes.
"Oh my gosh!" I gasped loudly. "You scared me! I didn't hear you coming!" I yelled with a smile, so he was able to hear me over the wind. "Is there something I can help you with?" I asked, still holding down onto my hood. The brunette smiled lightly and then he said politely something I would not have expected.
"This is a robbery, give me your bag."
