Hey guys! You know, this is a whole lot harder to write than I thought it would be. I want to make sure that I get it right, but without a lot of time, it gets harder. So. . . Hope you like it!
Teal Phoenix- I was dancing too! And I appreciate the doll, even if it isn't as awesome as a Blue-Eyes plushie. And you know, I haven't decided about the fourth Blue-Eyes. I have been considering it, but if I do decide to add it, it will come in much later on. Thanks for the review!
Seto K4iba1- I had debated the genders of all the Blue-Eyes. And I used to consider them all girls, but then I decided that throwing a boy in the mix would make it more interesting. Haha- you read Arose Power? That is great! I'm glad to see that people still like that story.
Cayannamon- Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it!
Liondancer17- Well, I love hearing that it is original! Who doesn't want their story to be unique?
AyaseFanGirl- Welcome aboard! And please continue spreading the word about this. I appreciate all the fans I can get. Hope to see you later on!
j bear- Stay interested. Haha- this is the best turn out I've ever received for a story. And you will be getting a taste of how the Blue-Eyes will be treating Seto in this chapter. Enjoy!
Happyfish- Yes, poor Seto. And Yugi is dead. . . I think I've said that a few times. But yes, the Dark Magician wants, and has, Yami. Keep reading!
se-tar- Thanks! I hope to keep seeing you around!
PerennialOutlander- Why thank you. It was well played wasn't it? Thanks for reading!
???- Well, here it is.
Sonic Light- Thanks! And by the way, you didn't misspell anything. Good job.
Shinryu-Twilight Dragon- You know, I usually like third person better than first. But I find fanfiction easier to write in first person. And wow, you must be a prophet. One of the dragons does love him! Haha- hope to hear from you in the future.
Seto's POV
The roof was a thousand feet in the air. It was August, which normally was one of the warmer months. However, at this altitude, it was freezing. The winds were at a much higher speed, and the air had a bite to it.
I didn't have a coat, when I left the house yesterday, I hadn't considered needing one. But now, I really wished that I had warmer clothing on.
I was leaning on the door that lead inside KaibaCorp. The three dragons were across from me, all in human form. They were all standing close together, very close in fact. As they laughed among themselves about some unknown joke, I watched in silence.
The two girls were nearly identical. They both had long white hair that reached to their lower back and eyes the same color as their brother's. The girls were shorter than their brother, but both of equal height to each other. All were slender, and appeared to be in perfect physical condition. I couldn't stop staring at them.
But they didn't seem to notice me. I wasn't sure if this was part of their personality, or if they just didn't see me sitting there. Either way, I remained silent.
My mind was only focused on finding a way out of my situation. I couldn't do much in the way of escaping now, seeing as how the three dragons were within feet where I sat.
A roll of thunder in the distance brought my gaze up to the sky. I cursed mother nature for bringing in storm clouds at this time. On any other day, it wouldn't have phased me, but while I was up on the roof, there was nothing to protect me.
I shifted uncomfortably, trying to find a better position to lean against the wall. But in doing so, I brought the gazes of the roof's other occupants to me.
Their eyes didn't leave me for a long time. However, since there were three of them and only one of me, I had to look at each of them separately. For having such similar appearances, the expression on each face was completely different.
The boy appeared to be the leader of the group. His gaze was the firmest of the three, not flickering all the while. Even I found myself intimidated by the glare.
The first of the girls was examining me curiously. However, she was staring down at me, as though I was nothing more than a dog. Her expression read as arrogant, anything but humble.
Beside her sister, the other dragon's eyes couldn't find a location to rest on. She had a large smile on her face and was eagerly staring at me. Her tongue quickly flicked across her lips as she looked at my body. I made sure that I didn't make eye contact with her.
"Sisters," the dragon who kidnapped me started, "I found the boy."
They began to walk forward, never taking their eyes off of me. In just a few seconds, the three stood all around me.
"Stand." He ordered.
I did so, feeling incredibly awkward. I kept my back as close to the wall as I could manage. I felt that maybe if I kept a distance between myself and the dragons, I could disappear.
Unfortunately, turning invisible wasn't an ability of mine, and I had to stand there while they exchanged looks with each other.
But while they were distracted with their secret glances, I reached behind my back. The door leading into the building was directly behind me. I felt around for the knob, slowly testing it to see if it was locked.
I wasn't surprised to find that it was. It would have been too easy if the door was unlocked.
"Welcome to our home." One of the girls said, the one that had been staring at me uncomfortably. I looked at her and found that she still had the same expression, one of lust.
"Why am I here?" I asked. If they were going to hold me hostage, I had a right to some questions.
"You haven't heard? We 'monsters,' as you humans call us, are taking pets." Said the arrogant girl.
"Slaves." Said that boy.
"Companions." Said that other girl.
The last of the dragons to speak giggled quietly. "I guess we will work that out later."
'What?' I thought, incredibly taken back at their words. Slaves, pets, companions? Certainly they didn't expect me to be all of those things.
"He looks afraid, Krin. I think we scared the poor thing."
I was really beginning to hate that arrogant girl.
"Then how does this work?" I asked, trying to think through the situation logically. Not just that, but I wanted to get the most information out of the three as possible. Anything they told me gave me additional information that could possibly be helpful later.
"You do what we tell you to do." The boy, who I now knew was named Krin, answered.
"What does that include?" I pressed. They had to give me something to go off of.
"Obey my every order." Krin answered.
"Love me." The lusting girl responded.
"Ignore Kisara." The arrogant girl muttered.
So now I knew Kisara and Krin. That left just one name for me to learn. After that, I could get to the more important information.
Then I froze. Did she just say 'Love me?'
Krin growled quietly at his sister, but didn't speak. I had never been more unsure of myself than this moment. I could handle myself in a room full of evil business men, even at funerals I know exactly what to say. But this – this was a predicament that I had never been in.
I felt a drop of rain on my nose, and I turned my head up to the sky to examine the clouds. Of course I knew that I my looking at the sky would do nothing, but I was hoping that the rain would hold off.
A hand reached out and grabbed onto my chin, pulling my gaze back to the dragons. Krin's hand quickly left my face.
"Don't get distracted."
"Distracted from what? I didn't hear anyone speaking."
Krin appeared angry, but Kisara jumped in. "Darling! What happened to your face?" She quickly moved to stand directly in front of me, stroking my cheek where Kuriboh had scratched me. It still hadn't healed, but luckily, the pain had stopped.
"An accident." I stated, hoping that she would let the subject drop.
"Lesson One." Krin said, stepping to me and pinning me to the door. "We can tell when you don't speak the truth. No lies."
Kisara continued to stroke my cheek, casting her concerned gaze upon me. I tried to pull my face away from her, but Krin kept me pinned tightly to the wall.
"What happened?" The other girl questioned.
"A beast scratched me."
Krin pulled his hand away, but Kisara left hers. However, it wasn't long before her hands went from my cheek down to my lips.
"Sister." The other girl said, a slight warning in her tone.
"I didn't know that he would be so appealing."
With Krin's hand gone, I pulled my face away from her touch. I had never been so disturbed in my life. I only wished that I had avoided the Blue-Eyes longer. Each one was so different from the others, I couldn't wrap my mind around the situation.
"Kara, any news from the others?" Krin asked. The two dragons walked off, leaving me with Kisara. If I had been more daring, I would have asked who the others were. However, I was too distracted by the dragon still standing beside me. She kept staring at me from every angle. I nearly asked her to stop, but then reconsidered. I had seen what Krin was capable of and I wasn't going to risk upsetting his sister.
"Darling, let's talk." She said, grabbing hold of my arm and walking me over to a corner of the roof. We sat down near the edge, the one looking across the city towards my old house. I glared in the direction of the mansion. Nothing good had ever come from the place, and I was more than glad to be rid of it.
"Say something." She instructed.
I turned to look at her. "What would you like me to say?"
She giggled. "I don't care. I just want to listen to you talk."
She then placed both hands on the top of my arm and leaned her head on my shoulder. I tried to come up with a decent comment while she snuggled close to me.
"I used to work in this building." Was the first thing that came to mind. But I spoke without thinking about what I was actually saying. Why would I tell them that I knew this building? Would they believe that would increase my chances of escaping?
"Really? That is so exciting! Were you important?"
There. My opportunity to fix what I had said. "No, I was a computer technician. I just did some programming."
I thought it was believable, and apparently she did as well because she didn't press the subject matter. Her only response was, "Tell me something else."
"I have a brother."
She snuggled in closer, tightening her grip on my arm. "What is his name?"
"Mokuba."
When I didn't continue, she pushed on my arm until I kept talking.
"He just turned fourteen. His birthday was last month. We didn't get to do celebrate or anything, which I hated. I couldn't even get him a present because the-"
I stopped for a second. Would she be offended if I called Kuriboh a beast or a monster. What term would be the least offensive to her?
"The fact that my brother was chosen. Kuriboh is really possessive."
Just talking about that creature made me angry. It just brought back all of the memories of the past months, working around Kuriboh just to see my brother. Mokuba was all that I had, and I wasn't allowed to speak to him. And now I was trapped on the roof of an eighty story building with no way down, unable to do anything to help him. Where was he going to get food from? Would Kuriboh even think about that? I didn't think that Mokuba would be able to live alone.
I twisted my head in the direction that Mokuba was in. I didn't know why, but it just felt like I would look and he would be there. As if he was waiting for me to come home.
That was when the rain began to pour down. Kisara seemed unfazed by the sudden onslaught, but I couldn't say the same for myself. It didn't take more than a minute before I was entirely soaked.
All Kisara said was, "Tell me something else."
Mokuba's POV
I could hear the rain as it began to fall, but I wasn't in a position to see it. Or rather, I was in the right position, but there was something in my way.
Kuriboh stood in front of the window looking out. Unfortunately for me, I was on the wrong in of the couch, and he was directly in my line of sight. Every time I moved, he spun around quickly to glare at me, then returned to his previous activity.
I normally would have been bored, but now, I was too worried. Seto's keys were still sitting on the table by the door, a constant reminder that he wasn't here.
I had heard the entire event this morning. There was nothing I could do for Seto. Kuriboh hadn't let me anywhere near the door, even though I had actually attempted to fight him. Once I could no longer heard Seto, Kuriboh had turned on me. I now sported several long scratches across my face and arms. But I didn't notice them. They were just a dull throb in the back of my mind in comparison to my worry about Seto.
I didn't miss the roar of the Blue Eyes as Kuriboh kept Seto trapped outside. It was closer than I had ever heard it before. It sounded like it was coming from directly above the house. I couldn't even imagine Seto not getting found with the dragon that nearby.
I tapped my foot anxiously. My nervous energy had to be released somewhere, and this was the only action that I could manage without upsetting the beast across the room from me.
Kuriboh hadn't moved from his spot in about three hours. The exact time I couldn't be sure of, I couldn't see any of the clocks in the room. But sitting in the bedroom for days after days had given me a good sense of time. I had become painfully aware of how long a minute truly could be.
The computer across the room made a sound, one that I didn't recognize. But as I peered over, I could see Seto's chatroom open. From this distance, I couldn't see who was trying to talk to him.
Kuriboh didn't seem to hear the sound. Or at least if he did, he didn't react to it.
Then the sound came again. Twice more. Someone was seriously trying to get in touch with my brother.
I shifted slowly, trying to get as close as possible to the computer. I was met with the gaze of the beast, sending me a warning.
"I'm thirsty. Do you mind if I get some water?"
I bit my lip. He wasn't the type to let me do anything, even if it was so essential to life. Seto had always made sure that I had what I needed. What would I do without him?
When he didn't show any reaction, I assumed that meant yes.
Every action had to be slow. I couldn't do anything that might possibly set him off. There were enough scratches on me right now, I didn't need any more.
I prayed that the computer didn't make anymore sounds as I moved towards it. My plan was incredibly simple. I just had to get close enough to see the screen. Responding wasn't an option, but I wanted to know what was so important.
DuelKing1- Kaiba, are you there?
DuelKing1- You were right, he can talk. Are you there?
DuelKing1- He was talking about a war. Kaiba, the Dark Monsters are planning something. You have to get out of town.
DuelKing1- Kaiba, where are you?
DuelKing1 has disconnected.
DuelKing must be Yami. That was the only person I could think of that was proud enough to name themself the Duel King.
Then, what is this about a war?
I didn't stay in front of the computer long. It only took me a few seconds to read the screen, then I moved to the kitchen. I searched for the water bottles, not knowing where Seto kept them. But as I searched, thoughts of war were plaguing my thoughts.
Yami's messages didn't give me any information to go off of. I didn't know who the "he" was that Yami referred to, or anything about a war.
Maybe Seto knew more than I did. Yami did say that Seto was right. About what I had no idea, but it was apparent that they had spoke at some point.
It sounded very urgent. I knew that Yami was risking a lot trying to get word out. Seto had told me that the Dark Magician was even more possessive than Kuriboh, to the point that he had even killed Yugi. If Yami was caught, I doubt that it would end well for him.
Seto needed to know this. There was no way that he was coming back here, so that left me one option. I had to get to him.
I opened a cabinet, still pretending to search for the water. I had actually found it at the beginning of my search, but I didn't want to sit back down just yet.
Next I opened a drawer, finding it full of silverware. The idea came to me instantly. I didn't have to think it completely through. I would be able to complete my plan.
I checked to make sure that the beast wasn't looking at me before I casually slid a knife into the back of my jeans. The hem of my shirt covered the handle.
My clothing wasn't the best for the situation. It was just a white shirt and jeans, no shoes. Seto had always put on darker clothing before leaving the house. It was a necessary precaution, but one that I wouldn't have time for.
I went back to the water bottles and took one, just for the sake of the illusion. If I was going to be successful in this, it had to be perfect.
Instead of going back to the couch, I moved closer to the empty wall near to the door. My action didn't go unnoticed. Kuriboh watched me at first, but then when I didn't move back to the couch, he moved closer to me. I flipped the water bottle in my hands, waiting for the monster to move closer to me. I looked him in the eyes, hoping that he would continue moving in my direction.
He did. When he was about five feet away from me, I threw the water bottle as hard as I could. He didn't have time to react as the bottle sailed threw the air and hit him directly in the middle of his small body.
Of course, that only served to make him angry, which was exactly what I was hoping for. He began his attack immediately. I knew that was going to happen, so while the water bottle was in the air, I pulled the knife out. As soon as he was close enough that I could reach, I spun around, putting him between me and the wall. Then in one swift move, I stabbed the knife through his hand.
It was hard to avoid his claws while pinning the beast to the wall. I spent a bit of extra time and energy to force the knife into the wall. I was so afraid that it wouldn't keep him there long enough for me to escape, and that thought gave me the strength I needed to drive the knife in place.
When I was certain that he was stuck, I pulled away from his other hand. He was growling in pain and in anger. His eyes kept switching from me to the knife through his hand.
I didn't waste any time, because I didn't have any to lose. I only took a minute to grab a jacket off the hook by the door, then I left.
I ran. I didn't know where I was running to, just that I had to get away from the house. Then I had to find Seto.
There is chapter five! It is shorter than all the others, but- it happens. I'll try to get the next one out some time after finals. So, within the next two weeks. Or so.
Leave me a review please?
