Aoi: hi everyone! So there is a small change in one of the charters. And no I'm not talking about Eiko. It's… about Izawa. I tried to give him the original Japanese name like I did with all of the other characters, but…. His original Japanese name is actually Isono. I messed up. (Hits head against desk causing head injury)
Akai: way to go baka.
Aoi: to keep things form becoming confusing (although I feel as though there will be confusing moments in the overall story) I will continue to call him Isawa. I just wanted to tell you this so no one was confused on which character I was talking about. Any way, on with the story!
Everyone looked at the girl who clamed to be Eiko, the sly smile still on her face. She looked at her watch,
"Well would you look at the time, I should probably be going," she said and started to walk away. She stopped suddenly, "oh, I almost forgot my ante, give it here Jonouchi," Eiko said facing Jonouchi.
"You said nothing about an ante!" Jonouchi exclaimed.
"Whoops, sorry I must have forgotten," she ginned wildly. She approached Jonouchi; he made a fat brake towards her.
"Jonouchi!" Yugi called after him. Jonouchi was a few feet away from Eiko intending to grab her waist and pull her down. Suddenly Eiko jumped in the air, dogging his attack. She did a small flip in the air, and then extended her leg forward. She landed on the square of Jonouchi back, causing him to fall to the ground. Eiko chuckled,
"Its so much easier when your not in a closed space." It was the same move she had made on Isawa so long ago. Eiko reached into Jonouchi's dueling belt, "this is what I was looking for," she said pulling out a card. She reveled it to Yugi and his friends, "the Red Eyes Black Dragon" she smiled. She got off Jonouchi's back and walked away. Jonouchi started to get up,
"I don't know who you are, but I know your not Eiko!" she continued to walk, ignoring Jonouchi.
"Jonouchi are you ok?" Yugi said running over, Honda and Otagi following closely.
"Yah, I'm fine, but that chick…" he looked over to were the girl once was, but she had disappeared. "Just who the heck was she?"
"She looks like Eiko," Honda commented, "other than the red eyes…" Seto started to walk away, Mokuba followed him.
"Seto!" he said struggling to keep up with his brother. "That girl, she looked just like-"
"I noticed Mokuba." Seto said trying to drop the subject.
"But Eiko said her sister looked nothing like her! Ant that couldn't of been her brother…"
"Mokuba," Seto said stopping suddenly, "just drop it. Eiko changed, just like we did. She was none of our business anyway."
"But Seto!"
"Just drop it ok!" Seto stormed off. Mokuba stayed behind. 'Seto…' Mokuba thought, 'last night you said you had a business meeting. But I knew better. You were seeing someone. And… I was really hoping that someone was Eiko. But I guess not.' Mokuba walked away. Not sure were he was heading, he really didn't have anywhere to go. He wondered through the park aimlessly, looking down at the ground the whole time.
"Mokuba?" a familiar voice said. Mokuba looked up,
"Eiko!" he exclaimed running towards her. He slowed down, remembering what she had done to Jonouchi. Eiko noticed,
"Hay, look I'm sorry that you had to see what happened with Jonouchi…" she said he voice getting quiet. She kneeled down placing her hands on Mokuba's shoulders, Mokuba looked at her red eyes.
"Why are they-"
"Red?" Eiko said finishing his sentence. She laughed, "I honestly have no idea, I just woke up this morning and they just were."
"You think you should see a doctor?" Mokuba asked a bit worried,
"Nah, they don't hurt or anything…" Eiko said her eyes shifting to the side. "Hay," she said looking back at Mokuba, "lets play some soccer, the field is right over there," she said pointing her thumb over her shoulders. "And I have a ball," she smiled. Mokuba smiled back.
"Sure!"
"Last night Seto went on a date," Mokuba said. They were sitting on a park bench drinking milkshakes.
"Really with who?" Eiko asked whimsically.
"Well, I thought he was with you…" Eiko spit out her milkshake. "Eiko are you ok?" Mokuba asked Eiko who was in a coughing fit.
"Yah," she said after she had composed herself, "just a little shocked that's all. You really thought I was on a date with your brother?" Eiko asked looking at him.
"I guess I did…" Mokuba said looking down. Eiko smiled,
"Look Mokuba, I don't think that your brother and I would ever go on a date."
"Yah I know, it was silly of me to think that," Mokuba admitted.
"Its no sweat kid," Eiko said patting him on the shoulder still smiling. Her face suddenly got serous, "Mokuba I need you to do me a favor…" Mokuba looked up at her, her red eyes staring him down. "Tell your brother to meet me on the roof of my apartment at seven. Tell him its important…" Mokuba was silent. Eiko's face become soft, "and tell him I'm sorry too." Mokuba smiled,
"I will,"
"Thanks kid, I owe you one." Eiko stood up from the bench, "I got to go home, got some stuff to work on."
"Ok," Mokuba said standing up too.
"Don't forget to tell you brother ok?" Eiko said as she walked away.
"I wont, bye!" Mokuba said waving. Eiko waved back. And although Mokuba couldn't see it, gave and evil smirk, she tried to hold back laughter but a small giggle escaped. 'I've got you right were I want you Kaiba.'
It was 7'o clock Seto and Mokuba walked up the stairs to the roof of Eiko's apartment.
"You didn't have to come Mokuba," Seto said as they walked.
"I know, I just wanted to see were Eiko lived, its kind of a dump," Mokuba said scanning the walls.
"Yah well don't tell her that, she'll bite my head off saying that I didn't raise you properly."
"Ha, I'd like to see that. Maybe I will…." Mokuba said deviously.
"Please don't," Seto said looking back at his brother. They reached the roof, Seto looked around for Eiko.
"Eiko?" Mokuba said the two stepped forward a few steps.
"So you came," they turned to see Eiko, standing across from them. Her arms were crossed, a duel disk strapped to one. "I'm glad, I've been waiting a long time for this…"
"Just what do you want Eiko?" Seto said with an angry tone. Eiko grinned,
"Well what else? I want to duel you Seto Kaiba."
"What!" Mokuba said.
"I knew it…" Seto said, "you've become cocky, you think that just because you beat Jonouchi you can beat me. Well let me tell you right now, that dog is nothing compared to me!" Eiko grinned,
"I'm sure your not, Kaiba. Now, will you duel me or not?" she said tuning on her duel disk. Mokuba looked at Eiko,
"You planed this the whole time?" Mokuba asked.
"Sorry to use you kid but it was the only way to get your brother here." Seto turned on his dule disk, "good, now I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but we are going by the ante rule. If you win you get Osiris, but if I win… I get one of your Blue Eyes." Seto smiled,
"Fine by me. That means by the end of this duel, I will have one of the most powerful cards in duel monsters!"
"Lets duel!" they exclaimed, the duel had begun.
Seto looked over at Eiko, now a completely changed person with red eyes and dark cloths. 'What happened?' he thought to himself. Eiko had completely changed; nothing seemed to be the same.
"I'll go first, draw!" Eiko studied the card; "I play 'Winged Minion' in defense mode!" Seto looked at Eiko,
"Since when do you use that card?" he asked. Eiko smiled,
"You'll notice that my deck has changed quite a bit Kaiba. My previous deck was nothing but light monsters. But I find that things fiends and zombies are more affective. Of course I wasn't able to change my deck completely. I don't have the resources that most duelist have." Seto ginned,
"That means that your deck is unbalanced, this should be easy."
"I wouldn't be so sure Kaiba, I also place one card face down and end my turn." With that the duel between Seto and Eiko began.
Time had passed; both Eiko and Seto had 2000 life points. Seto had 'Familiar Knight' and 'Saggie the Dark Clown' on his side of the field, Eiko had 'Mask of Darkness' and 'Watapon' on her side, the face down she had placed in the beginning still on the field. It was Eiko's turn; she drew her card a smile crept across her face.
"I sacrifice 'Mask of darkness and 'Watapon' in order to summon, 'Red Eyes Black Dragon'!" her monsters disappeared. But only for a moment, for within a few seconds the black dragon appeared, looking more menacing than ever. "I then place one card face down. Be lucky Kaiba, that I can't attack on the same turn I sacrifice." It was Kaiba's turn he drew a card,
"Than this must be my lucky day, for I summon, the 'Blue Eyes White Dragon'!" a lustrous blue dragon took the field, taking the place of both 'Familiar Knight' and 'Saggie the Dark Clown'.
"Really Kaiba, its not exactly luck when you have three of them in your deck." Eiko said, placing a hand on her hip.
"The blue eyes dragon is just part of my luck, from my had I play 'Sudden Attack!' (A/N: not a real card, but I think that there is one like it.) Which allows me to attack your 'Red Eyes black Dragon'!" Eiko smiled,
"You've fallen into my trap, Kaiba! For I play the card 'Reinforcements'! Which brings Red Eye's attack up to 3000!" Kaiba was in shock,
"But that will just destroy both of them!" he exclaimed,
"You don't think I know that Kaiba?" both dragons disappeared from the field.
"What is your plan now, Eiko?" Seto asked in a shrewd tone. Suddenly a large, back item appeared behind Eiko, smoke surrounded it. 'It can't be…' Seto knew what the card was he was speech-less.
"What do you thing of my face down card Kaiba? 'Time Machine', it allows me to bring back a monster that was destroyed in battle the turn before. And I bring back the 'Red Eyes Black Dragon'! It might not have 3000 attack points anymore. But it can still wipe out the remainder of your life points!" Kaiba gritted his teeth, he didn't have any facedown cards or monsters to protect him. He was wide open. Eiko smiled even wider, a laugh slowly escaped her lips, growing louder in intensity as it continued. "I've been waiting for this Kaiba! You might not be able to feel all the pain that you've given me over the years, but this is close enough for me! 'Red Eyes Black Dragon' attacks his life points directly! Fiery demise!" a blast of fire came over Seto, his life points dropped down to zero. Kaiba dropped to his knees in defeat, as the holograms disappeared Eiko advanced forward. She loomed over Kaiba for a moment; she leaned over so their eyes could meet.
"I'll be taking one of your Blue Eyes now," Eiko said. Seto was silent, "oh come on Kaiba," Eiko said lifting up his chin slightly with her hand. "Don't make this hard for me, I wouldn't want you brother to have to see you go through the same humiliation as Jonouchi did when he refused to give me his card. So why don't you just hand I over?" Seto was still unresponsive. Eiko frowned; she reached into his graveyard, taking the Blue Eyes within it. Eiko stood up, she took one last look at Kaiba, and "oh how the mighty fall" she said and then walked away. Mokuba ran over to his brother,
"Bro are you ok?" suddenly Seto stood up, running after Eiko. "Seto!" Mokuba exclaimed running after his brother struggling to keep up.
Eiko walked through the halls, looking at her prize. 'I thought he would put up more of a fight…' she thought as she walked. She suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her; she turned to see Seto running after her.
"Well if it isn't Kaiba. Come to take back your Blue Eyes?" Eiko said mockingly. Seto run up beside her,
"I want to know who you are." He said bluntly.
"I told you, I'm Eiko,"
"No your not," Seto said pushing her up against a wall by her writs. He loomed over her, looking deeply into her eyes. "Eiko is kind, sweet. She hates hurting people; her heart is as gold as her eyes. You are nothing like her."
"But I am her," the girl said simply looking up at Kaiba.
"Prove it. Right here, right now." They were both quite. "Prove it you demon!" he yelled.
"Humph, fine," the girl said. She closed her eyes they suddenly opened. "Because we are friends!" she cried out, words dripping with emotion and remorse. Seto's eyes got wide. 'Those words, the same words that-' Eiko continued, "have you forgotten all those days at the orphanage! You wanted to build theme parks around the word for kids without parents like you and Mokuba!" she uttered the same words that she had on that fateful day so long ago. The day that Seto asked her to come to his office, hoping to see and old friend but instead she saw a cold man. A man that, according to the driver who drove her home, made her cry, Seto hated that man. "I never forgot about you Seto." Tears started to form in her eyes. Seto let go of her writs,
"Eiko… I'm…" Seto didn't know what to say. He leaned down, pulling Eiko close. He closed his eyes their lips were close to touching; Seto could feel her breath,
"Your pathetic." She spat at him. She suddenly lifted her knee, hitting him in the stomach. Seto quickly grabbed it in pain, he gritted his teeth. Eiko continued to walk briskly to her apartment. Meanwhile, Mokuba had finally caught up with Seto.
"Seto! What happened?" he asked looking at his brother who was doubled over in pain.
"Damn it, she hits hard," he said. He looked at his brother, "Mokuba…"
"I know, something is wrong with Eiko." Mokuba said sadly looking down. The two just stood in the hallway, not exchanging any words.
