Without further a do, here is our fanfiction!
He slipped into the window silently, the gentle breeze followed him into the cottage. He crept across the floor and stood at the side of Kaku's bed. She twitched slightly in her sleep and uttered some incoherent jummble of words. The man pulled a large gun from his belt and held it by the side of her head. 'I love having some free time... and it's great I'm the first on the list for her, and I won't fail...' He thought to himself, smirking. Suddenly, just as he was about to pull the trigger, Kaku stirred and started to sit up. 'SHIT!' He swore in his head and quickly jumped out the window, he moved as fast as lightning. Kaku blinked and opened her eyes, she had a pounding headache behind both her eyes this time. She looked over towards the window and froze. 'I didn't open the window...and Tea fell asleep before me...so that must mean..' Kaku thought and quickly threw off her covers. She looked around the cottage, she didn't see anyone. She then ran to the window and looked outside, she saw someone, alone standing in the park. The man, stood in seeing distance of Kaku's cabin and snapped his fingers, the security system went down. Kaku jumped from the open window, not bothering to change and ran across the park's walkway in her bare feet. Her headache grew, she gripped at her head.
"Who are you?!" Kaku shouted, the man just chuckled. He had maroon hair that stuck up around his face. He had black eyes with swirls of orange. When he smiled Kaku could see that his teeth were sharp fangs, it made her shiver. He had multiple piercings and also a tattoo that ran from his left cheek down to his neck. He wore a black hoodie that was shreaded, tight, and covered with buttons, under it he wore another black shirt with white and red desgins on it. He had black pants and about 3 different belts that were all differenly colored and designed. Kaku also noticed that his nails were painted black.
"Oh that's right, you didn't know about your father..." He said and Kaku gritted her teeth together, "So I see you are trying to supress your powers as well...that's foolish...although, this will make my job easier." He said with a sneer.
"Whatever you are up to...won't happen." Kaku said through her gritted teeth. She gripped at her head harder.
"My name is L'arcenmal, and this is where you will die tonight Kaku." He said. He pulled a gun and pointed it straight at her, "If you dont embrace your inner eyes, you won't be any fun!" L'arcenmal said laughing. Kaku screamed out in pain, but refused to let them take her over.
"N-no I swore I would never.....use them again! And...W-why are you doing this???" Kaku half-cried.
"You mean, you don't know? Well, I suppose I should have guessed that he wouldn't tell you...." L'arcenmal said more to himself then to Kaku, he tapped his fingers on his chin thoughtfully, "I don't know if you not knowing makes this more fun, or less fun...I would rather have you fight back." He said and stared over at Kaku.
"No, I can't...I won't...." Kaku breathed out.
"Have it your way!" L'arcenmal roared and jumped forward, he shot but Kaku jumped out of the way, she slammed into the ground and rolled away. Her head was throbbing so painfully that she couldn't pull herself back up to her feet. L'arcenmal walked over to her and stood over her, "Too bad you're a half-breed, if you weren't I would have HAD to have you!" L'arcenmal said with a chuckle. He moved the barrel of the gun so it was pressed against her forhead, "Say goodbye." L'arcenmal said and laughed. Kaku squeezed her eyes shut, she wanted to cry. 'It can't possibly end right here....this isn't right!' Kaku cried in her head. Suddenly L'arcenmal winced and pressed two fingers against his temple. A dark demonic voice growled.
"L'arcenmal....you have another assignment, get your ass over here, play time is over, you can take care of this assignment later!!" The voice roared around them. Kaku forced her eyes open. L'arcenmal glared down at her and put his gun away.
"You might be safe for now sweets, but I will be back for your blood." He growled and with that, dissapeared into the night sky. A single tear ran down Kaku's cheek, she was terrified, but the headache was finally receding. She pulled herself to shaking legs and dashed back to her cottage, crawled back in through the window and shut it, locking it securely. She crawled into her bed and pulled the covers tightly around her. 'Will I really have to use those again? I swore to myself I wouldn't, but someone must be after me because of them....my eyes....but that man, L'arcenmal, he had them too...but his were orange. What is this..' Kaku thought to herself. Her mind was racing. There was no way that she would be able to go back to sleep after that, she was still shaking. 'How will I protect myself....will I really have to use my eyes again? But after what happened last time...maybe I'll be safe for a while.' Kaku thought to herself. She glanced over at Tea's sleeping form. 'What would happen if they found out? Would I be all alone again?' Kaku thought sadly to herself. She closed her eyes and forced herself back to sleep again.
Fen decided to go back to his cottage for a short amount of time. By the time he got there he found Triston already knocked out. 'How can you be that tired all the time?' he thought, he laughed and decided to not stay long but just change into a hoodie. Afterwards he decided to go out to the park for a walk, he figured he'd be questioned by all the tightened security but that didn't stop him. He wouldn't mind if they monitored him. Fen just wanted to make sure that the wind guy wasn't out molesting people, what he found surprised him. He had turned a corner coming back to his cottage and saw two figures in the path, one was a black hooded figure and the other was Kaku, but she was in her langerie. This distracted Fen for only a moment but before he was about to act the figure vanished into nothing and Kaku ran back to her cottage. Fen was perplexed at this all and decided to go back to the cottage and start making phone calls, he wanted all the answers he could get on Kaku. It was the only way he could figure out what could have happened tonight.
"Sir!" as security just crashed, the guard said as he busted into Kaiba's room.
"What!? What happened! Answer me!"
"We don't know sir, but everything crashed!"
"What is this?! I want all files rebooted, all systems reset! Find the source!"
"Yes sir" the guard said as he exited the door. 'How can this be?! My systems are flawless! If I find out who it was! This isn't possible!' Just then the power kicked back on.
"Sir all systems are back online."
"What made it crash!?"
"We don't know sir."
"Find out! I want answers!"
Kaku had finally forced herself back to sleep. Before she went to bed she decided to find Mokuba and ask him if he had a library or a computer that she could look stuff up on. She wanted to search the web about her eyes and powers. The morning came quickly, and with it, brought a guest. It was about 7 o'clock before anyone was up when she arrived. She cloaked herself, carrying with her a package. She jumped over the main gate and ran through the park, she could sense where Kaku was. Since she was cloaked she was invisible to the cameras. She quickly found Kaku's cottage and snuck inside and placed the brown box at the foot of Kaku's bed. She looked up longingly at the girl in the bed, sighing sadly to herself. A single tear dripped down her face.
"I'm sorry, daughter." the woman whispered, placing a hand gently on the covers of the bed. She closed her eyes and disappeared in the morning light. Kaku stirred and sat up in bed. She looked around slightly confused, she thought she heard a woman's voice, but she figured it must have just been in a dream.
Fen got off the phone, he couldn't believe what he just heard, he find out a link to Kaku and Seto and something really odd happening to Kaku at a young age. She grew up at an orphanage, the same one as Kaiba. There was an account with three knocked out boys in the playground while Kaku seemed untouched. He also learned that on her birth certificate her eyes were two different colors, one was so abnormal that no one else really saw it. Fen wanted to know more, but he couldn't stay awake, he still had a lot of time left in the tournament to figure things out so he went to bed. I
In the morning he decided to go on a jog, the park was eerie with the silence of a graveyard, but the jog felt refreshing. Fen was contemplating whether or not to ask Kaku about last night but decided not to because it may blow his cover and his revenge plan, but knowing this knowledge did give him a huge advantage. He decided to go lay down and wait for the sun to rise more, he would get up when Triston did.
Kaku threw the covers off her bed and crawled across the top of her bed. She looked over the edge and down at the floor, she tilted her head to the side and reached down towards the package at the foot of her bed. She bent over the side of the bed and started to open the brown box. She tried to rip off the tape as softly as possible. When she finished she looked over at Tea, who was still sound asleep. Kaku opened the box and saw a letter sitting on top of fabric that hid the contents of the box. Kaku softly ripped the letter open and pulled it up. She opened it and read over it quickly. With each new line her mouth opened wider.
Kaku,
I know it has been a long time since I last saw you, and I'm sorry that I couldn't be more involved in your life. But it was for your own good. I was hoping that this day would never come, but since they have found you, I need to give you these for your own protection. These are designed especially for you, use them wisely. They can't injure people, only demons. I know this may all sound so confusing, but I can't give you answers through this letter. If you want to find out more, search information about something called a Rein-Demon, I know it may sound weird to you, but I know that you have been wondering about your eyes, I wish I could have told you when you were younger, but it is knowledge that you couldn't understand at that age. You need to embrace those eyes now Kaku, I know it may be scary but it is necessary. Don't be afraid of yourself. Your power can help save those you love, and maybe the rest of the world as well.
Love,
Your mother.
Kaku dropped the letter and tore the fabric out of the box, she stared down at two sliver pistols that gleamed in the morning sun.
"Kaku? What are you doing?" Kaku heard Tea ask. Kaku smacked the box, sending it flying under her bed, along with the letter.
"NOTHING!" Kaku shouted and sat up quickly on her bed, she tried to control her heartbeat.
Triston finally awoke and Fen jumped out of bed somewhat a little over excitedly, he didnt even say hello to Triston. He walked out. Fen wanted to meet up with Minami as soon as possible, as he walked up to the dining hall he encountered the duelist from the wind field once again. They both looked at each other and kept walking. They reached the hall without any complication. Fen found Minami sitting at her own table once again reading a book with a coffee cup in her hand, he smiled at her and she at him.
Tea jumped out of her bed and ran over to Kaku's closet.
"I wanna pick out your clothes today okay? Great!" Tea said, without waiting for Kaku's reply. Kaku finally slowed her heartbeat and forced herself to giggle.
"Alright Tea! If thats what you want!" Kaku said, she got up and stole a glance at the edge of her bed. She would have to take one of those guns with her later on, just to be safe. Although she was still unsure about her eyes, she wished she could ask Tea without telling her everything. Kaku was just about to open her mouth, but Tea spun around holding an outfit in her hands.
"Wear this okay!?" Tea said and tossed the dress to Kaku. Kaku looked it over, it was a short white sundress with ruffles at the bottom and a ruffle that ran around the waist. There was a black jacket that went with it, but it was to hot out for that.
"Okayy.." Kaku said and changed quickly. Tea changed as well. Just before Tea could leave Kaku reached out and tapped her shoulder.
Tea stopped to and looked back at her.
"What is it Kaku? You're being really quite today." She asked, looking at Kaku with concern etched into her features.
"Oh its nothing, but I wanted to ask you a question." Kaku said timidly. She didn't really want to ask, but it would help be able to figure out what to do regarding her mother's letter, and above all else, her eyes.
"What is it Kaku? You can ask me anything." Tea replied smiling.
"Well, lets say....if you promised never to use something again because it could be dangerous to others and maybe yourself, but you needed to use it because if you didn't you could die...what would you think of the person if they used it?" Kaku asked, it sounded awkward the way she asked, but she didn't know how else to phrase it. She hadn't had much time to think over ways to ask the question.
"Well, let me see, I wouldn't hate them for it, not at all. I mean, you need to take care of yourself and if you are helping others, even if it runs a risk, I would think that person was strong for over-coming there fear of whatever it was that they didn't want to use." Tea said, she had her fingers pressed against her chin in thought. When she finished she smiled at Kaku. Kaku smiled at Tea.
"Thanks! Okay, that makes me feel better." Kaku said pressing a hand against her chest.
"I'm glad I could help, could I ask what the thing was, since it was pretty obvious you were asking about yourself?" Tea said and Kaku racked her brain for an answer that would be believable.
"Well sometimes I have a hard time sleeping, so I have pills for it, but sometimes I get up and walk around when I take the pills so I could be dangerous if I did that but its also dangerous not to sleep, and it worries my friends when I tell them I have problems sleeping." Kaku replied, trying to make it sound as believable as possible.
"Oooh! Why didn't you tell me before!! Of course you should use those Kaku! Sleeping is important!" Tea said and flicked her in the forehead.
"Ouch! Okay! I'm sorry!" Kaku said and giggled.
"C'mon lets go get breakfast now!" Tea said and laughed, jumping out of the cottage. Kaku smiled to herself. 'Alright mom, I won't be afraid, regardless of the outcome, I'll use my eyes....no matter how scared of them I am, I can do it.' Kaku thought to herself as she jumped down the stairs after Tea and followed her to the dining hall.
"So how was your sleep?" Fen asked.
"It was delightful." she smiled, her teeth were really white.
"That's good!" Fen laughed, "any good dreams?"
"hmmmm I had a fewwww.." she smiled.
"Wanna share any?" he nudged closer to her.
"Hmmm maybe that should be my secret!" she laughed.
"Darnnnnnnn!" Fen said, "well I'm glad your sleep went well, so who are you thinking of dueling today?" Fen asked.
"Hmm I don't know, I think I'm just gonna go around and figure out who I wanna duel."
"Sounds good, maybe after our first duels we could get something to eat?" Fen asked.
"Hmmmm I think that could be a possibility!" she smiled.
"Great!" Fen exasperated, "I mean great I'll see you there." he added a bit more coolly, "so what would you like to eat?" he asked.
"Hmmmmm how about a mushroom omelet?"
"I think we can do that" Fen smiled, he went up to get an omelet and a breakfast burrito. He returned to find Minami missing from the table, he looked around the big room and found her sitting at a table at the opposite end of the hall. She was looking at him and laughing. Fen rolled his eyes and walked over.
"Very funnyyy!" Fen said in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh I thought it was!" She smiled. They talked for a little while as they ate until Fen got up.
"See you at lunch?" Fen took her hand.
"I think so Mr. Valentine!" she laughed. Fen bent down and kissed her hand, winked and then waved goodbye. He headed towards his field following behind the wind field duelist.
Kaku followed Tea into the dining hall, but went over to see Mokuba the second she spotted him.
"Hey Kaku!" Mokuba said, waving and smiling brightly at her.
"Do you have a library or anything where I could look something up?" Kaku asked. Mokuba tapped a finger to his chin.
"We do in Kaiba Castle but.....bro is a little on edge about security still.....so it probally wouldn't be a good idea." Mokuba said sadly. He was just about to mention the whole system going down last night, but didn't want to worry Kaku.
"Oh poo, Well no matter!" Kaku said smiling down at Mokuba. "That's alright!" She added.
"I'm sorry! Maybe later on?" Mokuba said and Kaku nodded.
"Alright!" She said and waved goodbye as she went to go find Tea and eat with her. 'I hope Seto still doesn't think Kaku has something to do with this security thing...' Mokuba thought to himself. Kaku ate with Tea, Joey, Yugi, and Tristan. They chatted about the duels; Kaku wasn't really listening. She was thinking more about her other pair of eyes.
"C'mon time to go Kaku!" Tea said, dragging Kaku into reality.
"O-oh! Alright!" Kaku stammered and stood up quickly. She followed Kaku out of the dining hall and across the park.
Fen followed the wind duelist to his field. He stayed far enough behind him to stay out of his way but Fen had a feeling that the duelist knew he was keeping track of him. As long as that guy stayed out of trouble he didn't mind. Fen shortly arrived at his own field. It was his turn to wait at the field today so he said goodbye to his fellow field duelist. Fen had an idea that the other duelist wouldn't be there for too much longer. He sat and waited for his challenger
Kaku sat on the same bench she had sat on the other few days as she watched Tea duel. It was a long day, Kaku looked around, she was bored. She noticed that there were tons more Kaiba Corp guards wandering around. It sort of freaked her out. She hoped that none of them searched the cabins, since she now had two shining silver pistols stashed under her bed. Kaku gulped. She would probably need them though, with that crazy assassin guy after her, but he had the same kind of eyes she had. Kaku needed to check it out somehow, if only Mokuba could get her into the Kaiba Castle's library....but Kaku knew that was too good to be true, there was no way she would get in there. Kaku zoned out, thinking about the assassin, her eyes, and her powers as Tea continued to duel.
Fen saw a figure off in the distance. He wore a red vest and had big black hair. he walked up to fen and smiled. 'wooow look at that fag dice earring. What the hell is that?' Fen thought.
"I'm Duke Devlin." he said.
"Soluki Valentine." Ren replied, "Shall we?" Fen asked. They both walked onto the field and the battle started. The battle ended with Fen winning. He took one of the map pieces and Duke left. He was a nice guy. Fen looked at his watch, it was around lunch time so he started to head towards Minami's field for lunch.
Kaku ended up taking a nap on the bench. The sun warmed her face, Tea left the field to wander around, she didn't want to wake Kaku.
"Whats under your bangs Kaku?" Mokuba asked, leaning forward. Kaku leaned back away from him, moving her hand defensively in front of her left eye. She didn't want to show him, it would make him afraid of her, just like everyone else. "N-nothing." Kaku said hurriedly. "It makes her a freak! That's why she won't show you! Because she's a freak!" One boy said from behind her. Kaku just hid her head, she didn't want to fight back. She gave up doing that a long time ago. "Shut up you brat." Kaku heard Seto's voice. He had been inside, but had just come back out. "Why don't you?" The boy retorted. Seto glared at him, but said nothing. He walked over to Kaku and his brother. "What were they harassing you about Kaku?" Seto asked, Kaku still hid her face. "N-nothing." Kaku muttered. "Its her left eye." Mokuba answered for her. Kaku hid her head even further. Seto patted her head, ruffling her hair. "Don't worry about it Kaku, they are just bullies, there is nothing wrong with you." Seto said kindly. Kaku felt like crying. 'You don't understand...' She thought to herself. 'I wish I could show you, maybe you would understand, but I can't take that risk. If you begin to fear me and reject me, then I have nothing left.' Kaku thought sadly to herself. "Thanks." She said softly. Seto smiled down at her. Kaku lifted her head and forced a smile.
Kaku shook her head and sat up on the bench. Her left eye began to throb. She placed her hand against it. She wished she could have told someone about her problems, but she never could. Kaku scanned the park, if her eye was throbbing, did that mean that Assassin was there somewhere. Something caught her eye and she jumped off the bench, but the black figure disappeared in an instant.
Kaiba hid away in his office the rest of the day. He still wanted to know how Mokuba's golf cart was taken away from its location. He spent hours upon hours searching through surveillance tape. He mainly focused on the duelist village. He didn't trust his staff to the full extent but he trusted them more than he trusted the duelists. He started from sundown and counted all the duelists go into their own cabins. Everyone was in bed. More and more hours went by in the darkness. And then he approached the time when all the cameras went out. Five four three two one...nothing. Nothing appeared on the monitors. He took each surveillance video watching it on the big monitor. After fifty of the camera shots he thought he caught something out of the corner of the film. It was only there for a second but Kaiba saw something. In one corner of the camera he saw a flash as something landed on the ground off in the distance. The figure seemed to turn and the screen went blank. He re-winded the video and watched it again and again. It was only for a second but he knew the figure to be a person. It landed right by Kaku's room. Kaiba watched it five more times and then grabbed his phone.
"Have Kaku brought up to my office immediately." He slammed the phone down.
Okay end of this chapter!! Yay! Onto the next one soon kiddies!
