Now here is what you get for the choices.

Chapter 8

"Excuse me, did you find a girl around fifteen with orange hair and eyes here?" Noel asked a young woman in a bikini.

"I'm afraid not miss. Gomen."

"Excuse me, have you seen a girl with an orange shell pendant?"

"I think I saw her, but how bout you give me a kiss to remember? OOF!" the boy said as Karen punched his face.

"We're hopeless. We can't find her anywhere and there are disgusting perverted boys trying to sex us." Karen commented as she walked over to Noel. She plopped down on the sand and sighed.

"This is getting really rough." Noel added, plopping down in the sand next to her twin.

"Maybe she went into the water. I'll go check." Karen said as she headed to a deserted area so no one could see her turn into a mermaid.

Noel sighed and then turned around to see whom she didn't ask yet. She noticed a boy with long pale blue hair and brown eyes. He wore a white button down shirt and blue pants.

"Excuse me," Noel called out as she ran to the boy. "Excuse me, but have you see a girl with orange hair and eyes? She's around fifteen, about this tall," Noel mentioned with her hand up to her neck, "And has an orange shell necklace."

"I'm afraid I haven't. Maybe I can help you with your search for her." The boy offered in an accent. Noel blushed a bit when he spoke.

"Arigatuo Mister…"

"Ryou. And you are…"

"Noel."

"Pleased to meet you Noel-san. Now what is the name of the girl you're looking for?"

"Seira."

"Well that should narrow our search down a bit. Seira's a rare name so not many people will have that name. But Noel… that's a beautiful name for an angel."

"Oh. A-arigatuo." Noel thanked, as she blushed a bit.

"Are you alone on your search?"

"No. I'm with my twin sister, Karen. She's checking the water for her."

Ryou then felt tense when she said Karen. In his pocket was a golden ring known as the Millennium Ring and it shook a bit. Luckily Noel didn't see it and Ryou covered it with his hand in his pocket.

"Oh. Maybe I can ask my… uh… brother to help as well. He's just back there. I'll get him." Ryou said as he left.

Noel blushed after he left a bit. She shook her head, trying to get those thoughts out of her head.

Once he was out of eyesight, Ryou took out the ring and looked at it. Then a spirit appeared out of it.

"Why did you do that? She almost saw it." Ryou hissed.

"It was her name." Bakura replied.

"Who? Noel?"

"No. Karen."

"What about her?"

"I know that girl. Her name is the same. She looked just like her."

"Who?"

"Noel. She looked similar to someone I knew. My beloved. Nerak. Except everything about her was purple."

"So? What does that have to do with Noel?"

"Let me take over."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it. I need to find Nerak."

"She might not even be-"

"Don't contradict me. I know what I saw and Nerak is here. I feel her presence here. She's not too far."

"But-"

"I'm taking over. NOW!"

"Coco-san, are you sure we're going the right way?" Hippo asked the third time. He was in human form and he and Coco were walking in an alley.

"Of course I'm sure. I followed that guy's direction. Left at the pizzeria, right at the park… or was it the other way around?" Coco muttered to herself as she pondered it.

Hippo sweat dropped and asked, "We're lost, aren't we?"

"Of course we're not lost. I'm not a dumb blonde."

"Then where are we?"

"I don't know."

"Then we're lost."

"No, we're not lost. We just don't know where we are."

"THEY'RE THE SAME THING!"

"No they're not. Lost is when you don't have any hope with no idea where you are. Not knowing where you are is when you're lost but you know you'll be able to get un-lost." Coco said, winking at the anime-sweat dropping penguin.

"Are you sure you're not reading too many of those comic books or is it what humans call 'weed'?"

Coco glared at Hippo and hit him. "Just shut up. I'm positive that we're going the right way."

"You must be tourists," they turned around to see a platinum blonde boy with dark skin, violent eyes, a black tank top and ripped jeans. He was sitting on a red and black motorbike with a black helmet. "Otherwise you would have known that this area is the Sticker territory."

"Yeah. So what if we are?"

"I suggest you follow me. Before on of the members finds you here, bring you down, rape and then kill you."

"And how do I know you're not going to do that to me? I don't even know you."

"Because I'm not one of them. Hurry up and get on my bike."

"I don't believe you."

"Why must women be so stubborn? I'm trying to help you."

"Well you're not helping me by trying to rape me."

"Rape you? Why would I rape you? A dumb blonde who's stubborn as a mule with no fashion sense wearing the same color as their hair?"

"Look who's talking? Incase you didn't know, you're also a blonde."

"Hardly."

"Still, you're a blonde."

"I said hardly. Now will you get on before one of the members find you and your friend here?"

"Let's just follow him. This place is creepy enough." Hippo pleaded, tugging on her arm.

"You see, even your friend has sense enough to come with me."

"Look, we don't have time to argue. We're just trying to find the museum here."

"The Domino City Museum?"

"That's the one."

"I'll take you there. My sister is the curator there."

"I still don't trust you."

"Coco-san, let's just listen to him. Maybe he can help us."

"Coco? What kind of name is Coco?"

"A girls' name. Why? You got a problem with that?"

"But seriously, Coco? Ha. That's the kind of name given to crack girls." The boy teased, ignoring a fuming yellow mermaid.

"Well I won't listen to you until I know your name."

"Malik. Ishtar Malik. Now will you get on the bike?" Malik said, tossing her and Hippo helmets.

"Fine." Coco said, stepping onto the bike, Hippo behind her.

"Hold onto me or you'll fall off." Malik warned as he put his helmet back on and started the engine. Hippo held onto Coco, but she was hesitant to do so to Malik until he started riding. That was when she held onto him, blushing a bit.

Karen swam in the water, scanning the area incase she missed something. She's not here. Where could she have gone? As Karen surfaced, she sat down on one of the rocks by the water. Her fin swished in the water and she kicked it back and forth like she would have done with her legs.

"Are you looking for something?" she turned around to see a boy long, wild pale blue hair and brown eyes. He wore a white button down shirt and blue pants. He was about a few inches taller than Ryou and had a better build. Around his neck was the Millennium Ring that was in his pocket. Luckily for her, she was behind some other rocks so he only saw her upper torso.

"M-me?"

"You're the only one here unless I'm talking to myself." He said, moving towards her.

"S-stay back." She said, moving away.

"Why? Is something wrong?" he asked, trying to sound like he didn't know as he stepped closer. But in truth, he knew why. It has to be her. She looks just like her when she was a mermaid. Nerak, my love, you're back.

"Nothing's wrong. Stay back!" she repeated.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. I know you're a mermaid." Karen's eyes widened as he just appeared above her. She dove into the water and tried to swim away only to be caught by her arm.

"Let me go. Let me go." She protested, trying to shake him off. Instead of letting her go, he kissed her. She tensed up a bit but soon kissed him back.

It's so warm… so passionate… so… familiar. EH? Why does this feel familiar? I don't even know him and… he's kissing me. It feels so… good. Well, since I haven't become bubbles, I guess I could try talking to him.

I'm glad she didn't start trying to kill me again. I hope she'll try and trust me now. Maybe a memory will help. The man thought as the ring began shaking and glowing again. After a few seconds it stopped and a beam of light hit Karen in the forehead.

Seira huffed as she ran in the museum. She didn't know where she was going and when she looked up, she was inside a cool, dark room with few exhibits displayed. One of them was labeled "The Pharaoh and the High Priest" and others had Egyptian artifacts.

I must be in the basement or something. Hopefully Mokuba won't find me.

"Are you looking for something?" she whirled around to see an Egyptian woman with a white dress with a gold necklace with an Egyptian eye in the middle.

"N-no. I just… got lost."

"You're running away from Kaiba Mokuba and you're hiding here."

"How did yo-?"

"My necklace foresaw this. You are Seira. You're staying at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Hotel with nine other people and you recently ran from the Game Shop."

"How much did you see?" I hope she didn't see about us being mermaids.

"Not much. I only saw it today." Seira sighed in relief. "Are you looking for something in particular?"

"That tablet, over there. They look like-"

"Kabia Seto and Mouto Yugi. I know. They are descendants of the Pharaoh and the High Priest. I already know them."

"Oh. And who are you?"

"Ishtar Isis."

"Well Ishtar-san, if you foresaw me coming here, are you a seer?"

"Somewhat."

"Do you work here?"

"Yes. I'm the curator."

"What was your latest addition?"

"My, aren't you intriguing."

"Well I try. My friend Noel-san wants me to improve my history so I can go to a good college."

"I see. Well, we just got this tablet a while ago. However, I'm rather puzzled about it. My co-worker and I are trying to piece it together."

"May I see it?"

"It's right behind you." Seira turned around and backed away as her eyes widened. It had a woman with long flowing hair and a scepter and a long dress holding her scepter in the air. Underneath the woman were nine girls in idol outfits, each holding a microphone that they sang into. There was a monster in the middle being destroyed by breaking into pieces.

It… it can't be possible… it looks like me and the other girls and Aqua Regina-sama. But those two other people… who are they?

"Is something wrong?"

"N-nothing. Nothing's wrong. Just where did you find this?" Please say ocean… please say ocean…

"In Cairo, Egypt. Why?"

"Isis-chan, I came as soon as you called." They turned to see a woman with long orange hair and eyes, wearing a white strapless dress that had the black ribbon with a single orange strap going down her dress around her waist, orange drop earrings and black neckline.

"Good. Sara, this is Seira. Seira, Sara." Isis introduced. But neither was listening, for they both looked at each other.

"S-Sara?"

"Seira?"

"You two know each other?"

"We're… sisters."

"Yeah. Sisters."

"Oh. You never told me you had a sister."

"I didn't because I thought she was gone."

"Same here. Um… Sara, didn't you di-"

"Seira, I think that can wait till later. But now, I need to know where the others are."

what do you think? Good? Bad? Your reviews count on what happens next.
