Aoi: hi guys! Sorry it took so long for the next chapter. I got distracted

Akai: don't you always?

Aoi: shut up, well I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Jonouchi, Yugi, and Seto all stared, mouths wide open, at the seen that they were seeing. Eiko, who seemed to be a nice, sweet girl who wouldn't hurt a fly, throwing punches at a guy who was twice her size.

"Were did you meet her again?" Jonouchi asked Yugi.

"She just came into the shop looking for a job. I've known her as you have Jonouchi, its not like I-"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" a piercing scream filled the air. Jonouchi and Yugi looked up to see Eiko falling from the helicopter.

"Oh my god!" Jonouchi said in shock.

"Eiko!" Yugi screamed unsure what to do. 'Crap! What the hell do I-' Eiko thought wildly as she fell to her demise.

They say, that when you're near death, your life flashes before your eyes. For Eiko Tsubaki this was no different. She saw everything from her birth to moments before that fateful fall. 'I don't want to see those memory's' Eiko thought, 'I want to see the happy ones.' And just like that the memoires that she loved came through. Those spring and summer days in the orphanage, were time was unlimited. Where she could smile freely, and laugh at the wind. 'At least I got to see you guys again' Eiko thought. 'Seto, Mokuba, thank you.'

Suddenly the falling sensation was gone. The earth was still nothing was moving. 'Am I dead?' Eiko thought, 'I have to be, I mean, it must have been a fifty foot fall!' slowly Eiko opened her eyes. Instead of seeing a bright light she saw that boy. The one Yugi and Jonouchi called Kaiba, and the one Mokuba called Seto. 'Seto Kaiba' Eiko thought he had blue eyes and brown hair. Eiko then realized that those blue eyes were looking at her, and she was looking back.

"Are, you ok?" the boy asked. Don't say something stupid don't say something stupid.

"Um," nice, real smooth Eiko.

"Seto!" the boy who was still clutched in Eiko's arms jumped out onto the ground. "Nice move Seto!" Seto was still looking at Eiko intensely, to point that it was more staring than looking. 'She looks just like.' Seto thought to himself.

"Eiko!" Yugi and Jonouchi came running over,

"Man, Eiko are you ok?" Jonouchi the realized that Kaiba was still holding onto Eiko. 'What the hell?' Jonouchi hadn't even ever seen Kaiba with a girl, let alone holding one. And with Eiko! With her gold eyes and slim figure she wasn't exactly ugly.

"Can you stand?" Kaiba asked Eiko. To avoid another 'um,' episode Eiko just nodded her head. He set her down gently, some how Eiko was able to stand fine, even though she had just hade a near death experience.

Eiko just looked at Kaiba he looked back at her. They had the same look on their face, a look that said 'were have I seen you before?' Finally Eiko broke the silence.

"Seto?" his eyes got wide, he turned around and stated to walk away.

"Were do you think your going?" Jonouchi said anger in his voice.

"I just relisted I have some were to be." He said simply, he continued to walk forward, and then stopped suddenly and turned to look at Yugi. "I still have Questions for you Yugi," he said coldly, "and I intend to have them answered." He then turned back around and stated walking, Mokuba following.

"Yeesh, what a jerk right?" Jonouchi said as soon as Kaiba was out of earshot. "Guys?" he said when there was no reply. He turned to look at Yugi and Eiko, Yugi had a blank face and Eiko was looking at the ground. "Ok, what's up with you guys?" he said putting his hands in his pockets.

"Nothing," Yugi started to say, "its just-"

"I think I knew Seto when I was younger." Eiko said cutting of Yugi midsentence.

"Wait what?" Yugi and Jonouchi said at the same time looking at her like she was crazy.

"Seto, what are you doing?" Eiko asked looking at the huge sand sculpture.

"Oh, hi Eiko, it's a theme park!" Seto answered first looking at her then at the monument.

"Were going to build them all over the world!" Mokuba said, "for kids that don't have parents like us!"

"Wow really?" they both nodded, "that's… so sweet." She said looking down.

"You can help." Seto said. Eiko's head shot up,

"What?"

"Yah, I mean you're like a sister to us Eiko!" Seto said smiling. That moment, Eiko wanted to live that moment over, and over again.

"I was really young when I met Seto" Eiko said. The group had relocated to a nearby park bench, Eiko was sitting while Jonouchi and Yugi stood. "I had just moved to my town, it was really out in the country."

"Ok, how did you meet Kaiba?" Jonouchi asked arms crossed. He was a bit ticked off that Eiko was calling rich boy 'Seto'. The only person he had ever heard call him that was Kaiba's little brother Mokuba. Why didn't she just call him kaiba like everyone else?

"Wow," Eiko said looking down "I haven't thought about that in a long time…" 'A really long time.' Eiko thought.

"Why don't you just start at the beginning?" Yugi said,

"Ok…." Eiko said and her story began

'Why did we have to move here?' a young Eiko thought as she walked down the street. It was like any other street, it had a sidewalk and a rode next to it. But on thing Eiko thought was strange was the big gray wall that was situated next to the sidewalk. 'I'm all alone here I don't know anyone here. Its so far away from home.' Eiko had once lived in the city with big buildings and busy streets, the small town was nothing like what she was use to. As she walked down the unfamiliar street she saw the only thing that reminded her of her old home. A nice big tree. A bit strange sure, but in her local park Eiko would clime them till she grew tired. Eiko took her hands and grabbed on to the closest branch. She quickly pulled herself up to the next branch. Slowly she pulled herself to the top of the tree. 'Wow, this is pretty high up' Eiko thought. Looking over Eiko saw kids, lots of them. One in particular caught her eye. The boy had brown hair, blue eyes, and a sweater vest. Eiko lost her balance and fell forward. "Ahhh!" Eiko yelled as she descended, luckily Ekio's feet were able to catch a lower branch. She then hung upside down, staring at the boy. Her had a shocked look on his face, 'what the?' the by thought.

"Hi!" Eiko said not quite sure what to say. The boy ran off. "Hay, wait! Aug!" Eiko yelped as she fell to the ground, 'ow' Eiko thought rubbing her head.

"Please stop!" A small shrill voice said, "Give it back!" Eiko looked up. She saw a small boy with long black hair, jumping for a small toy in the hands of a boy who was bigger than him. The boy laughed cruelly,

"Make me!" he said and pushed the smaller boy.

"Hay!" Elko said running towards the boy "stop that!"

"Make me you-" the boy threw a punch, Eiko quickly dogged, she then took her hand and jabbed it into the boys side. The boy dropped the toy; Eiko hit the back of the boy's neck with the side of her hand he then fell forward onto the ground. Eiko picked up the toy,

"Is this yours?" she asked handing the toy to the boy. The boy nodded, Eiko placed the toy in the boy's hand. The bigger boy lumbered up

"Why you little- I'm gona!" he razed his fist to Eiko. Suddenly the boy was pushed forward; Eiko jumped back barley dogging the large boy. Eiko then noticed the same boy who she had seen when she had been hanging from the tree had jumped on the boys back. The boy hadn't intended to lunge towards her he had fallen.

"Seto!" the little boy said, happy to see him but a bit worried at the same time.

"Mokuba are you ok?" the boy named Seto said looking at the younger boy he then looked up at Eiko, "hay I know you. Your that weird girl who was hanging from the tree!" Seto said. Eiko then noticed that the boy had gotten up and was about to hit the boy.

"Watch out!" Eiko yelled. Seto quickly dogged, he grabbed the boy's fist and twisted it. The boy yelped in pain, Eiko punched the boy in the gut he fell back and laid on the ground moaning in pain.

"Um, t-thanks" Seto said looking at the girl. 'I've never seen anyone do that… especially not a girl.' he thought to himself in aw. He finally got a good look at the girl. She had brown hair that extended to her shoulders, perky gold eyes, a purple tee shirt and jeans.

"No problem" Eiko said smiling, "I hate guys like that," she said looking over at the boy who was still on the ground. "I'm Eiko, and you two are?"

"I'm Seto" I boy said gesturing towards himself, "and this is my little brother Mokuba" he said gesturing towards the small boy.

"Hi, I just moved here" Eiko explained. Her mother had told her 'just say you're new here, it will easy to make friends if you say that.'

"Were pretty new here too" Seto replied,

"So were do you live?" Eiko asked hoping it was close by. Seto and Mokuba looked at each other,

"We live right here, don't you?" Eiko looked around, she saw all the kids that she had seen before, but she also noticed a big gray building. Through the windows she could see beds, tons of them. Then she saw the sign 'Sacred Ones Orphanage'

"Oh, I see…." Eiko said her voice low,

"You don't live here?" Mokuba asked.

"No live down the street" Eiko explained. "So, what do you guys do for fun around here?" Eiko asked. Seto and Mokuba were confused,

"What do you mean?" Seto asked

"Well were friends right? And I figure I'll be spending a lot of time here so." Seto didn't know what to say. Ever since he and Mokuba had gotten there they had been alone. All the kids did here was torment them and the grown ups didn't help either. They were alone all they had was each other.

"Me and Seto play in the sandbox over here" Mokuba said grabbing Eiko's hand and pulling her towards the sandbox. He figured that Seto and him needed a friend, why not one that could help them with all the bullies?

"Sounds fun!" Eiko said

"Wait up!' Seto said running after them.

Jonouchi and Yugi looked at Eiko, everyone was silent for a long time.

"And that's how I met Seto. Before he know as Kaiba."
