Joey's POV
When you woke up, Miya was already up and gone.
-Figures. She's an early bird.- you thought to yourself.
"Joey? Time to get up."
Since your head was still under the pillow, you couldn't exactly tell if it was Miya or Tea. Whichever it was came over and sat on the bed and shook you lightly. Her hands were cold and really soft. It was Tea. Miya's hands were warm and a bit more rough from her years of training.
"Yeah Tea, I'm awake. Now get your cold hands off me."
"Well get out of bed. Miya made breakfast, don't let it get cold."
-Miya made breakfast?-
You got out of bed and Tea left the room. You dug for your clean shirt then remembered Miya was wearing it. You smiled and threw on the shirt you wore yesterday. After a quick flashback to this morning, you got up and walked into the kitchen.
"Morning everyone!" Miya called from inside the fridge.
"Morning Miya." you said cheerfully.
"Wow, you're oddly awake for this early." Yugi said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, slept really well last night."
"Well, everyone dig in. I've got more if we run out."
Miya's POV
Everyone besides Joey and Tristan dug in and grabbed at least three or four pancakes. Joey and Tristan than cleared up the rest. Silently glad you set your plate aside you our more batter onto the griddle.
Everyone was silent. Apparently they were all starving
"Wow Miya. These are really awesome. And you just used ready mix?"
"Mhm, but I use milk."
"Cool, they're delicious."
Tea cleaned her plate first, then grabbed a few more.
"Wow Tea. Hungry much?"
"Heh yeah. Partying always makes me hungry."
"So, we got any plans for after breakfast?" you asked tossing a few more pancakes on the plate in the center of the table.
Tea shrugged.
"Anything you guys wanna do?"
The kitchen was a silent for a moment then Tea stood up.
"We should go clubbing! That club on 17th street is only open during the day. It's mainly for the night time college students, but we can go."
The boys all groaned in unison but you got excited.
"That'd be awesome Tea!"
"Oh and you three don't have to come if you don't want to. Miya and I can go by ourselves."
"Yeah sorry Tea. Clubs aren't my thing." Tristan said with a pancake stuffed in his mouth.
Joey leaned forward and spoke.
"What if I could get your girlfriend to go?"
Tristan looked at Joey like he was crazy.
"Yeah Tristan, Serenity told me. I don't care, but you hurt her and you're dead."
"Oh, well if she goes, I guess I will too."
"How bout you Yugi? Joey?"
Yugi shrugged and agreed to going.
"Joey?" you asked.
"Sure, just don't expect too much. I'm not much of a dancer."
"That's fine. I'll help ya." you said nudging him.
"Awesome!" Tea screamed. "I have the perfect idea for you Miya. You are gonna look amazing by the time I'm done with you! And I'll work on you guys shortly!"
The color drained from their faces.
"Don't worry. I won't let her go too crazy." you said laughing.
Tea pulled you into her bedroom and began digging through her closet.
"This is… Perfect!"
She handed you a silk spaghetti strapped white tank top that flowed down your torso then banded at your waist.
"This will look awesome against your skin tone, and oh this skirt will match perfectly!"
She then handed you a rather short, black jean skirt.
"Now, you get dressed and I'll club-I-fy the boys. And feel free to go through a bunch of stuff and accessorize."
You laughed as Tea ran out of the room and to the living room. Tea did have a point, you did need something. You scanned through her jewelry boxes and found silver bangle type bracelets and matching hoop earrings.
When Tea finally came back into the bedroom she handed you a pair of shoes. They were black 3 in heels.
"Wow Miya, you lookin hot! And now, time for your hair."
"Just don't go too crazy."
FF Noon (Miya Cont.)
Serenity had been more than happy to come over and go clubbing. When she showed up, she was already dressed and gorgeous. Tristan had been watching her every move like she was some shiny new toy.
You had to say you were impressed that Joey hadn't exploded on him yet.
"Everyone ready to go?" Tea called from the bathroom. She had gotten dressed and just finished your hair. It wasn't much different but it looked awesome. She had put some body, curls and wave in it. Not to mention a ton of hair spray and glitter spray. She'd done this to herself and Serenity as well.
When you were finally able to leave the bathroom, Joey's eyes hit you and his jaw hit the floor.
Joey's POV
You watched as Tristan got all puppy eyed over your sister. Any other time, you probably would have beat him down by now. Miya had changed something, somehow and made you calmer about the situation. He'd be safe until he hurt her, then he'd have both you and Miya on his ass.
"Alright guys! Miya's finished. Let's go!"
You head automatically turned to look at Miya. She looked drop dead gorgeous.
"Joey, don't stare. You'll draw attention to yourself." she said quietly with a smile.
"Come on guys!"
You all somehow piled into Tea's car. Yugi again in the front and the rest of your in the back. Luckily the club was only a 5 minute drive down the road. There was a large line; so it might be awhile before you got in.
As you and the gang walked by, someone called Miya's name.
"Miya? Miya Suro?"
"Xavier?"
She walked over to one of the biggest bouncers at the door.
"Never seen you here before Miya."
"Nope, my first time here."
"Well, have fun kid. You and you're friends can come through."
"Thanks a million Xavier. Come on guys!"
-Of course. I'm sure that girl could get us into just about anywhere."
Miya's POV
The atmosphere inside was exhilarating. It was thick with movement in the dark with the only light being the ones from the bar and the neon strobe lights.
Your excitement was about to burst as Tea pulled you down the stairs and out onto the floor. The boys and Serenity found a table near the dance floor and watched as Tea pulled you into the crowd.
You could feel Joey watching you, and although you weren't one to blush, you could feel the heat rushing to your face.
Yugi's POV
You sat silently, making sure that Tristan and Serenity weren't doing anything that would make Joey explode. You were actually shocked that it hadn't happened yet.
"Well I'm gonna go dance with the girls. You three should come join us."
Serenity then got up from the table and ran towards Tea and Miya.
"She's right. We do need to go dance." Tristan said, following behind her.
You and Joey looked at each other and shrugged.
Being as short as you were, getting through the crowd was easy. It couldn't be said for Joey though, after all he wasn't the most graceful person.
"Where's Joey?" Miya asked.
"Um I'm not sure. He might have gotten caught up in the crowd."
Miya laughed and headed off to where you last saw Joey.
Miya's POV
As you pushed your way through the crowd heading back towards the table, you tried to keep an eye out of Joey. With all the lights it was harder than you thought to spot him. You sighed and turned around, bumping into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry."
"Oh hey Miya. Where the hell is everyone?"
"Joey, come on. You know, you're hard to spot."
"Really? Normally I stick out pretty bad."
"Well, the way Tea dressed you, you blend in well."
Joey was wearing medium blue colored jeans and a slightly tight black t shirt, and it looked really good on him.
"Heh yeah. I can't believe I let her dress me."
"I think you look good. And you are gonna dance just so ya know."
You grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the group. You stopped as soon as you got to the group and just stared. Yugi and Tea were all over each other. Then your eyes panned over to Tristan and Serenity, and they were getting there, and fast. You braced yourself for the explosion when you saw Joey look over in their direction. It didn't come.
"Well uh..umm?"
"Yeah Joey?"
"Wanna…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the lights slowed and dimmed slightly. The music went from fast paced rave music to a calmer slow dance.
"You uh, wanna dance with me?"
"I would love to Joey."
Joey's POV
You were silently screaming at yourself. You were stuttering so bad that you sounded like a complete idiot. It helped when the music slowed to a more calmer pace and it got darker. Now Miya couldn't see how bad you were blushing.
"You uh, wanna dance with me?"
"I would love to Joey."
You wrapped your arms around her waist as she wrapped her around your neck.
"You okay Joey? You seem stiff?"
"Yeah ,I'm fine."
Truth was…you were terrified. You were scared that you were going to make a fool of yourself in front of the perfect girl. Miya was perfect, in every way you could see.
"Joey?"
"Yeah Miya?"
"I…"
A bright light came shining from her necklace, then everything went black and you felt weightless.
Miya's POV
You felt a swarm of energy coming from your staff just moments before the room went dark. As expected, you opened your eyes to the warm sands of Ancient Egypt.
"Miya?"
"Oh Joey. I guess it drug you along too."
"Miya, Joey." said two voices in unison.
"Atem? Kisara?"
They came walking toward the two of you looking pale.
"Something wrong?" you said beginning to get worried.
"Miya, I've called you two here to warn you. I can feel something dark on the horizon."
"What is it Kisara?" you said holding Joey's hand a bit tighter.
"Atem and I are not sure. We're looking into it further. But just…be careful."
"Atem, have you told Yugi?"
He shook his head.
"No, I've decided not to worry him. This dark energy is not over it, it's just the two of you."
You stood silent for a moment, then you saw flashes of when you kissed Joey. Did this have to do with what had happened? Was Seto involved?
"Miya, it's not what you're thinking. But I assure you, those events will play a role."
Lex's POV
You were fuming. Everything you'd worked for all your life was crumbling beneath you. For some reason, none of your agents were completing your missions and they were ending to disaster.
Even Chris was failing his missions, he couldn't work well with anyone except Miya, and Miya was gone.
For the past 12 hours you'd been screaming. You had seen Kaiba at the meeting, and you could see that he wasn't happy to see you.
"Lex sir."
"Yes Chris?"
"I've got it."
"Good, let me see it!"
Chris handed you a yellow envelope. Inside was a photo, a photo that would tear Miya and Kaiba apart. And once that hold was gone, she would once again come crawling back to you, heartbroken and alone.
"Excellent, I'll have it sent to him right away. Good job Chris."
You ordered for you car and drove to Kaiba Corp.
Seto's POV
After only 3 hours of sleep, you went to Kaiba Corp to work on the tournament details. You had yet to hear from Miya, and were hoping nothing had happened. Mokuba and Aaron were here as well, they were in charge of testing out the new virtual software.
"Mr. Kaiba?"
"Yes?"
"Sorry to disturb you but you have a level 3 visitor."
"Send them in."
Level three meant another CEO from some company in the area. You weren't sure who to expect since you had no appointments made for today.
You turned to answer an email on your computer from the Tech department when the doors burst open. It was Lex.
"Kaiba! Long time no see!"
"What do you want Lex?"
"Oh just dropping by some information on your little love bird. It seems she's all over the media. This is just some stuff I think you should know before it gets out there and destroys your companies reputation."
"Why would I trust anything you give me Lex?"
"Just take a look and see for yourself. Then you'll be the judge of rather or not to believe me. Keep in mind, I've known Miya most of her life. I know what she's truly like."
He laid an envelope of your desk, grinned and left your office as quickly as he'd come.
You scoffed and threw the envelope into the waste basket next to your desk. You knew what Miya was like. It didn't matter what was in her past, you knew you'd find someway to keep it from ruining your company. She meant to much to you.
You continued to work, trying to ignore Lex's words as they rang in your ears. After about 15 minutes you couldn't stand it any longer. You retrieved the envelope and tore it open. Inside was only a picture. You began to shake with rage when you saw what the picture was of.
It was Miya…she was kissing Wheeler.
You didn't look up when the boys came into the room laughing.
"Hey big bro, the software works great!"
"Aaron! Did you know about this?"
He looked at you oddly.
"Know about what?"
"How could she do this to me? After everything…I thought she wasn't a whore like the rest. But I guess I was wrong."
You tossed the picture to the floor and Aaron quickly picked it up.
"How in the world! She would never do this? This can't be my sister, she loves you. She wouldn't hurt you...not on purpose."
His words fell on ears that weren't listening. You looked at Mokuba and Aaron's faces. You knew this was going to kill Mokuba if you threw them both out.
"Now Aaron, I'm giving you a choice. You can stay with us or…you can leave with your whore of a sister."
He stood there and began to cry then ran out of the room.
Mokuba walked over to your desk and was about to cry as well.
"Seto how could you do this? Don't you think you should talk to Miya about this first? Maybe there's something missing in this picture, like it was a …"
"I don't need to talk to her, the proofs right there. She used me…and I couldn't see it."
Mokuba burst out crying and ran out of the office after Aaron.
You grabbed your cell phone and dialed Roland.
"Roland, have the maid pack Miya's things and put them in storage. She's moving out now."
"But sir.."
"Now!"
