Secret Chapter 2: The Air Under A Dragon's Wings A.K.A. Bree's Date
I have to say: Being a girl rocks.
I arrived back to my temporary home at the Kame Game shop after my first experience with my powers. I had dried off on my walk home, so I was not quite as soaked as I had been in the woods. I slinked over to the bath area, taking a towel with me from the hall closet. I undressed once I was secluded, taking a moment to admire my female form in the full-length mirror against the door. The swooping curves were pleasing, but the chest was my favorite asset. I wondered how any girl could tire of a mirror. Although, even butt-naked, I did not find myself aroused in any sort of way to my own body. I chalked it up to not being attracted to oneself. "Bree!" Aria's voice squealed in an alarmed manner. "Stop checking yourself out, you're a boy!" She gave me the same pout that I had mastered in this form.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah." I waved her away as I turned from the mirror, slipping into the warm water to wash myself. It was here that I began to ponder my date with Kaiba. So many girls from my world had turned me down; I found it somewhat poetic I would be a heartbreaker in this world. They never did stop me though. I chuckled to myself.
As much as girls that turned me down hurt me, I took a good look at their actions. It was thanks to this that the person known as Bree could be as flirty and girlish as she was. Even Rhea could probably see the difference in the personality, seeing how most of it was copied from the cornucopia of girls I had encountered in my life.
The situation I had allowed myself into was one that I was not sure how to approach. I had to deal with a guy one-on-one as my girlish self while somehow not being attracted to men in the least. A smirk played on my features as a devilish idea popped into my redheaded brain. I would need certain supplies, seeing how Seto was a visual type of guy. With a body like mine, I don't blame him. I grinned egotistically. However, I did not have a single bit of the items needed.
My mind rushed to Daida. When she was Charity, everything about her made me feel like a lovesick fool. I had the hugest crush on her, up until we actually spoke to each other here. Once getting to know her, I knew she was not the one for me.
I also knew her materials would not do. In our world, her figure was similar to mine, well endowed, yet petite. She had that beautiful nerdy look with her glasses as well. Here, her frame was smaller than mine only in a very important area. I tilted my head as I thought about Joan. Unfortunately, she had the same problem as Daida, but in a much worse way. Poor girl is almost like a washboard. I thought pitifully. At least she has Ryou. I thought mildly of Cleo, but I hardly knew her at all and I figured I should have one friend that did not know the full extent of my ways.
My mind fell to Rhea and a smile broke out on my lips. She did not have my supple curves, but her bosom was just about right and her things would do. I stood up and nodded, disrupting the water as it swirled down the tube, knowing my cousin would come through for me. With this decision, I grabbed my clothes, wrapping a towel about my body, and dashed off to my room, passing my flustered older landlord in the process.
…
The next morning, I awoke to the sound of frustration and clothes being thrown about from behind my wall. Rubbing my eyes tiredly, I climbed out of bed to investigate. I dressed in the same apparel that I came to this world with and snuck out of my quarters to peek inside the partly open door to Yuugi's room. He had his floor covered in clothes, mostly uniform-like attire. "I can't just wear what I always do…I really want to impress her!" He seemed to be arguing with his darker half. It made me somewhat angry, hearing him try to impress another girl when Rhea felt as she did. Who does he think he is… I growled silently. It did occur to me that I still needed to get to Rhea's place before too long. With an irritated flick of my ruby locks, I was down the stairs and out the door before a soul noticed.
…
When I knocked on the door to Mai's apartment, I expected the brunette to answer. Instead, the blonde house owner greeted me. "Good morning, Bree. You're here rather early. Rhea's still sleeping." She seemed to be getting ready to go out herself.
I had forgotten how much Rhea was not a morning person. I gave a small shrug with a sweet smile. "I was supposed to come wake her up for today." I innocently lied. Maybe I would remember to once I got what I needed.
Mai's smile confused me. "Oh sure, not a problem." She allowed me to step inside. "I'll be back soon, just going down to the corner store." She moved around me and allowed me to shut the door behind her.
A grin crawled onto my lips as I pressed myself up against the wall, tiptoeing through the house. I shifted my eyes about, trying to see if any danger lurked nearby. How I would have died to have Mission Impossible music playing at this moment. I managed to sneak into her room without waking her. She seemed to be deep inside a dream. This was my chance.
Ten minutes of searching her closet and upper drawers provided me nothing. I crossed my arms over my chest in a huff. I gave a sigh when I finally had to give up. I moved over to the bed and gently poked my cousin's cheek. "Rhea…" I called softly. She did not stir. I looked around and prodded her cheek more insistently. "Mari…" Still nothing. "Rhea…I need your help…" I gently brought both hands to her face, using my index finger and thumb to pinch the skin beside her mouth, tugging slightly. However, she slept even through this.
It was then that I started to worry. I placed my hands on her shoulders and started to shake her. "Rhea, I need your help!" I spoke louder this time.
Boy, did I get what I asked for. Rhea flung herself up in the bed, knocking me backwards onto the floor. Her eyes were wide, but unseeing, and I was upset that I had landed on my rear. My signature pout came into play just as Rhea's orbs focused on me. "What the…" She started, tiredly. "What are you doing here?"
When I heard her, I was glad to know she was awake. I flipped forward onto all fours, crawling back to her, and leaned up to perch my hands on the edge of the bed. I placed my head gracefully on top of them and flashed a bright smile. "Good, you're awake." She gave me a disdainful stare, so I plucked myself up and began to brush the dirt off my dress. "I need your help: Do you have any sexy underwear?" Best to go in headfirst.
"Get out."
"Come on, Rhea…" I needed a new tactic. Was I supposed to just tell her I wanted to be a sex-craved slut to piss off a guy? No…She wouldn't like that either. I decided to go the cute route. I raised my hands defensively. "I need it for my date." I pleaded while batting my large grey eyes.
She plopped herself back down on her pillow, groaning a little as she shot me an interested look. "You have a date too?" She put her hand on her forehead tiredly. "With who?"
I put my hands on my hips. How could she not remember the whole thing with Seto after school yesterday? For being the host to the Spirit of Time, my cousin seemed to be undeserving of such a title sometimes. "With Seto Kaiba. He's taking me out today." I gave a happy nod, my plans forming so well in my head. How I could not wait to see the look on his face.
"Seriously, get out." She pointed sleepily at the door.
I sighed and moved over to the bed, sitting down next to Rhea. "Oh come on…" It was starting to dawn on me for a way to cheer her into giving in. "You said you had a date too, right?" I poked her side gently, making her squirm. Yep, still ticklish. I thought mildly. "Who are you going out with?" I asked, grinning at her.
She sat up, I assumed out of fear of me tickling her more. "It's Yuugi, okay?" She slumped a little, as if getting it off her chest meant her support gave out. "Why are you asking me for underwear?" She spoke in a more demanding tone as she seemed to be getting over her sleepy spell.
A connection lit. What I had seen this morning was too perfect. I had to play it cool though. Therefore, I gave a solemn nod. "Oh...That explains things..." I spoke ambiguously, before standing up. I decided to leave that topic alone and dive straight into my reasoning from last night. "I would have asked Daida, but her things are too..." I lifted my hands, signaling that my breasts were larger than that of the Water Guardian. "Tiny for me." I dropped them as I continued, not even glancing to Rhea's disgusted face. "And I don't know Cleo that well and Joan is even smaller than Daida." Now was the time to drop the bomb. "Besides, Yuugi doesn't have any women's underwear." I let that bit of information sink in momentarily. "Plus, you and I are family, so we can totally borrow from each other." I decided to amp up the cuteness by fluttering my eyes hopefully.
"What did you say?" Rhea asked, seeming completely surprised.
"We're family; don't sisters and stuff do that?" I acted innocently.
"Not that, Gold Digger." She growled at me. "One, you're my male cousin, so, that's gross." She gave me an icy glare. "And two, why would even think about asking Yuugi?" She seemed to be piling up her surprise up and turning it into anger.
A smile broke out on my face. "Didn't you know? I'm staying in the guest room at Yuugi's place." Part of me was surprised that she did not realize whom I had been residing with in this world. Shrugging it off, I twirled in place, turning around to attack her dresser again. "Solomon invited me to stay when Daida was giving out the uniforms." I explained. She had seemed distracted that day. I opened a drawer carefully, giving a disappointed pout when all I found was socks. "I wondered why he was up so early this morning." I grinned with my back turned from her, finally letting it slip about the boy. I started to pick through the clothes, allowing the time to pass for her to know that Yuugi was truly excited for today.
Rhea seemed to pause a moment before she came to my side, pushing me away to open a drawer I had not noticed before. She pulled out two lacy panty sets, one black, and one white. "No having sex with him in my clothes." She warned me, which only made me chuckle. I caught a glimpse of a dress in the closet that would do wonders for my figure. I skipped over to it without a word. "At least take any offer he gives to buy you stuff so you don't keep using my things." I grinned, placing the gown over my arm. Oh, I'll get as much as I can out of him… I sniggered. She willfully handed over the black set, causing a brighter smile to appear on my features.
It was then that she grabbed me by the shoulders and shoved me out the door. "Stay there until I come out." Her tone was grim, but I was not. I gave her a semi-serious salute, causing her to roll her eyes before she shut the door.
It was then that Mai came through the front door with a few bags. I dropped my pose. "Taking a shower." I reported as I heard the water come on. Mai gave me an understanding smile and pulled out from her black shopping bag a pair of scarab earrings. They were a shiny mix of gold and bronze. A beam erupted on my lips. "Do you have any gold bracelets?" I asked, my thought infectious.
Mai smirked at me. "Good idea." As she walked back to her room, I leaned forward a little before tilting back and taking large, yet somehow graceful steps with a grin spread on my face.
…
While in her room, Mai stole a glance at the draped dress on my arm. By this point, I had resumed my normal walk. "I see you have good taste." I was puzzled. "That's the dress I left in Rhea's room." I glanced down at the cloth, blinking rapidly.
I had thought I was stealing more of Rhea's clothing. Now knowing it was Mai's dress… "So, how many?" I questioned.
"How many what?"
"Guys." My voice turned suggestive.
She chuckled and shot me a wink. "Wouldn't you like to know?" She gave a sexy, playful shake of her rear to add to it. I covered up my face, my nose feeling like it was about to burst from a nosebleed. I did not recall being a Mai fan, but she did have her ways. "Will these do?" She asked off topic, holding up a pair of solid gold bangles.
I removed my hand quickly, pulling myself together. I nodded happily, approving of the jewelry. Man, no wonder Joey wanted her. Mai walked over to her own closet, swishing her waist from side to side, which I watched a little too closely. She pulled out a pair of silver heels that had long ribbons attached. "Here, these are for you." She handed them to me, and then proceeded to write down a note to Rhea, but not before turning to me and winking. "Go get 'im." She encouraged.
Once she was done writing the note, she pushed past me, going to leave the presents for Rhea while she showered. I looked down at the heels in my hands, staring at the silver spikes. I had no idea how to use them.
…
After five falls, three ankle-twists, two scraped palms, and one slightly red knee, I had conquered the silver heels.
I made my way downtown, walking carefully as to not obtain any more damage to myself. Many men stopped and stared at me as I passed them by. I almost felt bad for those who were with their girlfriends. The stiletto heels complemented my feet as the ribbons intertwined up my legs, tying in a bow right behind the knee. This could only be seen on one side, where an opening of the dress parted way for smooth skin. The dress itself was a wonder. Sleek black that held itself up on my shoulders by thin strands, plunging neckline that complemented my assets more than I could have asked for, and an azure flower on my hip marked the start of the slit.
I actually had the time to even try and look like a girl. My lips were stained with pink and my eyelashes darkened by mascara. My large eyes were intensified by black eyeliner, almost making my eyes seem like that of the darker characters in the series. Nevertheless, grey orbs were still held in innocent rims. My hair flowed around me freely, seeing how I felt it would be better than a ponytail or any other style. A small black purse accented my entire look.
It did not take me long to find the restaurant that Seto had asked us to meet at. It was a very expensive sushi bar called Sushi-ko. The place was quiet, unlike most of the hustle and bustle of the downtown that day. I went inside, glancing around to see if I could find a table.
A tall, thin hostess stopped me. "Excuse me, your reservation?" Her black hair was pulled back into a bun, her hardened eyes cut at me like her tone.
Shaking my head, I peeked beyond her to see if my date was around. "I didn't-" I began, before her pitch sliced my words.
"Didn't? Then you need to leave." She refused to listen to me. "We're booked for today." She took a step forward towards me, causing me to withdraw towards the door.
It was then that a hand grasped my waist gently. "She is with me." The acidic voice came from behind my shoulder. I looked up into the glacial blue eyes of Seto Kaiba. His features betrayed no sign of happiness, but instead irritation at the situation.
The hostess widened her eyes at the sight of the CEO. "Mr. Kaiba! I didn't know she was…" Her eyes flicked to me, a hint of jealousy in them. Obviously, Seto had frequented this place more than I realized.
A smirk came to play on my lips as I turned towards him, my hand placed gently on his chest. "No, you didn't." The words falling as sharp as her eyes had been. My leg lifted a little to press into the side of the stone cold man, revealing a little of the silver ribbon. The hostess stammered for words, incredibly flustered. She grabbed up two menus in a huff and turned away from us, reluctantly leading us to our table.
Seto's expression on the other hand was a bit of a surprise. I glanced up at him in time to catch a twitch on the edges of his mouth. I drew back away from him, "Well done." He complemented my performance. He did not seem too upset about being used as a prop at all. Without further words, he followed the other girl.
We were seated at a two-person table in a secluded corner. I assumed that Seto had specifically requested us to be alone. Another dark hair employee came by to take our drink order. "Two waters and hot green tea." Seto commanded, only grazing her with his eyes. "Tell the chef to bring out the special." He continued, and the waitress almost ran away.
I leaned back in my chair, a smug smile crossing my lips. "The special, huh?" I asked, raising my eyebrows a little. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." I stated, doubting he would understand the full meaning.
Seto snorted a little as he leaned forward. "I wouldn't think you would be one to fall for something that sates men, Saffron." He was wearing a grey suit jacket and pants that matched my eyes, but had a blue shirt complementing his. It was completely different than I had ever seen before.
"Bree." I corrected him. He seemed perplexed by my informality. "Rhea has the same last name, so you can call her 'Saffron.'" I reasoned with him.
He nodded carefully. "Bree, then." He repeated. Silence fell between us, and I gently pulled a strand of my hair forward, twirling it around my finger as I brought it to the front of my low-cut dress, just above my girls. I played with it a moment, watching his eyes resist leaving my face to give in to carnal desires. When it finally happened, he snapped his eyes back up, narrowing them at me. "What is your full name?" He asked, trying to distract himself.
His question caught me off guard. "What do you mean?" I let go of the strand, allowing it to fall perfectly into the cleavage.
His eye followed it for a moment before he began to speak. "'Bree' cannot be your full name. It must be a nickname for something." He seemed impatient with my ignorance. A grin played on my lips.
"Sophia Breeze Anna Marie Brian Nicole Roxanne Sansensu Fellen Alie Saffron." I rolled off my tongue, even adding my original name into the mix. His shocked expression was priceless. I was glad for my quick thinking. "My parents were indecisive." I explained, his eyes finally back on to mine.
Our waitress came back to our table with a large tray and a foldable stand. She clicked the stand into place as she carefully placed the serving of food down. She divided out the dishes in front of us, setting one in the middle that had two rows of sushi. I furrowed my eyebrows as I stared at the pieces in front of me. It was the traditional type, with a ball of rice and a slab of crab on top. However, instead of seaweed holding the roll together, it was a golden band with a small shining object on top. "Will that be all, Mr. Kaiba?" Our waitress asked.
He nodded, sending her off with an icy glare. A conceited smile teased his features as he looked to our meal. "Is something wrong?" He asked, apparently to address my confused expression.
"Is that…?"
"Edible gold leaf and a .2 carat diamond, yes." He smirked, pleased with my reaction. "Only one chef in the world makes this." He gloated.
My grey eyes rose to meet with his blue. "Does it even taste any good?" I asked, my tone skeptical.
He opened his mouth to retort, but closed it when he realized he had not tasted the specialty himself. Then, he did something I never expected: He began to laugh. "No girl I have ever met before has ever asked if something so extravagant tastes good." He seemed to be quite humored by what I thought would be an ordinary question.
I blushed a little out of embarrassment. "Well, I'm not your average girl." I admitted, dropping my voice to a lower pitch that he could not hear.
It worked well enough for him to grab up his finely carved chopsticks and pick up one of the pieces to set it on his plate. He removed the diamond before lifting it up with a somewhat playful smile. "Let's try it together then." I looked to my set and gracefully used them to lift up my own piece, saving the diamond to get me some new clothes around here. We lifted our sushi as a sort of odd toast, and we both ate them whole.
It was different, yet delicious. I had never eaten gold before, and now I somewhat regretted it. The taste was not good enough for me to not try to sell the materials. Nevertheless, I forced a smile and nodded cheerfully. "You sure get the best, don't you, Seto?" I spoke after swallowing.
His laughter was gone and replaced by conceit. "Of course. I am Seto Kaiba after all." He leaned back, smirking down at me.
It made me roll my eyes. "Oh Kaiba boy…" I sighed, shaking my head a little. He seemed to be uncomfortable with the nickname.
"Just Seto is fine." He said, strictly, before placing another piece of sushi in his mouth.
I lifted my eyes up to give him a sexy grin. I leaned a little forward, placing my arm under my breasts, giving them a little extra lift. "You don't like the nickname?" I asked, my tone dropping to an innocent sound.
A small shade of rose colored Seto's cheeks. "No." He said firmly, looking at something in the corner that seemed to catch his interest. A devilish leer came upon my face. I had him hooked, all according to what little plan I had.
…
Unsurprisingly, Seto paid for the bill in hundreds, making me wonder how much it actually was for our food. Not for the fact that I did not think I deserved such a lavish meal, but because I wanted to see how much I could get out of him. I grabbed the diamonds from my plate and what gold leaf was left, securing them safely in my purse.
Being the gentleman he was, we rode in his limo back towards Kaiba mansion. As I stared out the window, I felt a small nudge at my arm. I turned to come face-to-face with a glass of champagne. Kaiba was offering it with a smirk. "An after dinner treat." He assured me.
I raised an eyebrow. "Did you put a ruffie in this?" I asked with playful suspicion staining my voice.
He seemed unamused by my humor. "Do you really think that I would need to stoop so low?" He glared at me in the same way he had the hostess.
I grasped the glass and took a gentle sip. It bubbled with sparklingly alcohol. "Well, isn't this considered under aged drinking?" I grinned at him. "You naughty boy." I gave him a suggestive wink.
This made the edges of his lips twitch with a small smirk of his own. "You won't get in trouble. You're with me." He seemed smug and confident.
'Screw the rules, I have money…' I thought with a chuckle, sipping more at my drink. Everything from now was just gravy for me.
…
We arrived at the Kaiba Mansion within a few minutes. I was not sure whether it was his driver being speedy, or if Domino really was that small. We pulled up to the front of the house, allowing Kaiba to get out first. He extended a hand to me, which I found to be incredibly cordial until I realized he was reaching for his briefcase. I did my best not to stumble out of the car, feeling my weight press on the silver stilts.
We made our way inside, my eyes peering about. "Where is Mokuba?" I had always sort of had a fondness for the younger boy when viewing the show. In a pity-for-the-kid-always-getting-kidnapped sort of way.
Seto removed his jacket, a butler coming over to take it from him along with his briefcase. "He's away for the night with some friends." I almost wondered if he had been abducted again. It would not surprise me. "Let me show you around." He invited, now offering to take my hand in true earnest.
I smiled gently as I grasped his hand in turn. "Expecting me to stay long?" I asked, giving him a coy downcast show of my eyes.
He smirked in return. "I find you'll be staying at least a few hours." There seemed to be a quality in his voice that I was not sure I was entirely comfortable with.
We made our way up the stairs, and I noticed he was not taking me by the kitchen or dining areas. He seemed to have a destination in mind already. I did my best not to fumble in my heels, getting nervous about the situation. He led me to a lavish room with a large bed, a few shelves around the room filled with books on subjects ranging from history to mathematics to Duel Monsters. He did have a large Blue Eyes White Dragon painting in front of the bed, making me scrunch my nose. I could not believe I had gone whole date forgetting about his dragon fetish. I walked further in, taking a seat on his bed. I heard the door close behind me. "This is my room." He confirmed, knowing that I was not that dim.
The bed was unusually comfortable, much more so than my bed at Yuugi's house. I pondered on staying here as my permanent residence, but I was not sure I could trust Seto like I could the young duelist. Sure, I had the body, but Yuugi seemed to look for something deeper, which he did not find in me. I laid back, stretching out a little. "With how busy you are, I'm surprised you even have a bed." I chuckled, remembering only seeing Seto in his office.
He moved over swiftly, sitting on the bed next to me. He tilted his head to smirk down at me. "I use it when I have company." He slid his hand on my leg, which made me shudder.
Just as I was about to sit up to move away, I found myself pinned to the bed. His movements had been quick and accurate, his hands holding mine above my head, and his lips pressed into mine. Gross, gross, gross…! I cringed internally. I struggled against his hold, but found this female body to be weaker than my male one. His pushed further into the kiss, his lips parting as he tried to snake his way into my mouth. I clamped my teeth shut, creating a pearly white barrier between us. After failed attempts to break into my oral cavity, he pulled away, glaring at me. "What is wrong with you?" He asked, impatient.
I took notice that he still did not release me. It was now or never, and I did not want my cherry popped by Seto Kaiba. Rhea would never let me live it down. "Look, Seto…I just do not want to do this." My voice was soft and my eyes darted away, feigning innocence. "It's not you, it's me." I tried the old line, no matter how true it was.
"Why?"
"Because…" I am a boy! How difficult it was now that I was like this. "Because I'm not interested in you." I admitted, trying to dance around the truth like it was fire.
He glowered at me, still pinning me. His grip was increasing with strength. "How am I not?" He seemed almost bewildered by the idea. "I have money, fame, everything girls want." His tone turned deadly. "So why not you, Saffron?"
My grey eyes were wide with fear. If I had been in my other form, things would be much easier. Then again, I would have never gotten into this mess. I heard Aria pleading with me to use my powers, but I refused. He did not deserve to see the power of Air. "Because, Seto," I insisted on his first name. "You have that." My eyes drifted down towards his belt buckle.
His hard eyes followed mine. He stared at the spot before realization hit him and his orbs snapped back up to mine. "Because I'm male?" He question, on the verge between angry and confused. I nodded slowly. "So you…" He tried to find the right words. "You like…"
"Girls, yes." I answered for him in a mousy voice.
"You're a lesbian."
"Pretty much."
It was then that Seto seemed completely distant. He pulled his arms up from mine, releasing me from his bind. He rose from the bed, turning away from me. He gave out a frustrated sigh, placing his long slender fingers over his eyes. He mumbled into his hand. I popped up from the bed, tilting my head slightly. His voice was so soft that I did not catch his words. "Excuse me?" I asked politely.
"Get out."
I was already half way through the door. If looks could kill.
…
I found myself walking home that evening. I was glad that it was not raining, since the silver ribbons were already cutting themselves into my legs. I had tried a block or two back to just untie them and let them go, but I had ended up tripping and falling straight on my face. I considered just taking the shoes off, but the fear of broken glass or any other litter made me keep them on.
Aria floated next to me as I walked. "You know, none of this would have happened if you just didn't go." She said, in a both consoling and condescending voice.
I grinned up at her. "Yeah, you're probably right." I brushed my hair behind my ear, strutting strong. Maybe one day I would find a girl to settle down with, but that was not happening any time soon. "But it was sure fun." I winked at her as I kept my smile plastered on my face all the way home.
Let me rephrase: Being Bree rocks.
…
