A/N: If I can’t get the thing with Jou to work…I’m changing
it. I promise I will try to find a way,
if anyone cares but if I can’t it goes by bye!
Actually, I am making it work. And I meant for people to hate Kana…laughs.
It will work out in the end.
There’s a twist with XXX Holic I’m throwing into here…laughs, it’ll all work out.
Broken Dragon
Chapter 3
3rd Person
“I haven’t seen you in some time Yûko-san,”
Kana said sweetly as a woman with long black hair in a kimono approached. “What
brings you here?”
“I hope you would know this keeper of time
but taking away emotions is strictly forbidden,” she said.
“So you’ve come to give me slack about my
price? It was a fair one; you know
that,” Kana said, “Surely Space-Dimension witch Yûko would know this.”
“I’m not asking there be no price for what
you are asking…you always play to close to the line, but taking away an emotion
is crossing it.” The reply had come so
easily and Kana found herself smiling at the witch. “What do you propose I do
then? I can’t give it back, some price
must be paid!”
“That would only cover half for the thing
he wants to save anyways, I still have to take away another half for something
like this. It’s not permanent you know
either.”
“Then have his love take the other half,”
Yûko replied. “Two halves make a whole price…”
“But what should I ask from the other
then? Should I take away his ability to
say he loves something?”
“Your games go too far. Take away his sight for a time…that should be
enough of a price, am I correct?”
“His sight…but for how long?”
“One year,” came the whispered vague
reply and Yûko disappeared into the shadows. “That should be enough to satisfy
you and your games.” I smiled; I’d do
it, just not yet. I wanted to see how it
would affect Jou.
“What games? The price is accepted in my
opinion…I will return his anger to him tonight.
It’s destiny. It’s…”
“Hitsuzen.”
Jou
I wasn’t looking
forward to school, I almost wanted to skip…but I couldn’t have any more
absences if I wanted to graduate. I
mean, that dream couldn’t have been real, what would I do if I didn’t have
anger?
“Hey Jou, glad
you could come to school!” Yugi said and wrapped his arms around me.
“You look oddly
happy,” I said with a smile.
His blush told
the whole story. “Yeah, I got some…” I
began to laugh.
“Well, at least
you got some.”
“Does this mean you’re jealous of me
getting some?”
“Why would I be
jealous of you Yugi?”
“Jou, I know
you’re jealous, I can see it in your eyes.”
I grinned. “Okay,
maybe I am…just a little. But you’re the
one who has to put up with a pregnant Yami, not me.”
“Guess what he
did last night,” Yugi said.
“Aside from sex?”
“After we did it,
he hit me! He bruised my arm…said I was
too rough...when I wasn’t even the one on top!”
I found it hard
not to laugh at him. “He probably will get more moody you know.”
“That’s the
problem,” he muttered and then looked back towards the street. “Hey, here Kaiba
comes!” He pointed towards a slick black
limousine and my stomach rolled. I
couldn’t fight back against Kaiba now…not without my anger! I watched moneybags step out of the limo and
stride towards us. Cocky bastard.
“Well, what do we
have here? Good morning Yugi…good
morning Puppy,” he said smugly and I glared at him.
“You know what
Kaiba? There’s nothing wrong with being
a puppy, so young and vibrant and full of energy if you catch my drift. I could wear you out long before I’d ever get
tired.” I froze…the words…they just flew
out of my mouth before I had realized what I was saying!
Kaiba froze
too. I didn’t know what to say after
that, so I just turned around and ran.
Damn, why couldn’t I just get pissed off at him? Why the hell did that sick comment pop up
into my head instead of anger? Well
sure…that price…but that comment came out of NOWHERE!
Kaiba
I stared as Jou
ran inside the school and then looked down at Yugi, who was frowning.
“You provoked him
again,” he said. I didn’t say anything,
so he kept talking. “Of course, this time he bit back with wit so I guess I can
forgive you.” He walked off, leaving me
still reeling in the words Jou had just said to me. He didn’t get angry at me…he offered a
challenge…no, an invitation. He
basically offered me an invitation and I was going to take him up on it.
Jou
I stayed so quiet
in school I could hear crickets chirping…in my mind. Kaiba didn’t talk to me at all, and for that
I was glad. My comment was enough to
make my head spin, much less to think of it as an invitation. I was going to have problems sleeping
tonight, of that much I was certain. I
swear that Kana is a bitch.
…
“Hey mutt!” I
groaned. The one person I had avoided
pretty well, and who had avoided me pretty well all day was approaching
me. And I couldn’t get mad at him…I
couldn’t go off on him…no, I couldn’t!
“What do you want
moneybags?” I asked as I turned around to see him walking up to me. He was something nice to look at after all.
“About that
comment you made earlier,” he began and watched me as my face slipped and I let
out a sigh. “I have a question.”
“I beat you at
your word game Kaiba, shut up and go away,” I said, my voice unusually calm.
“Ah, no, you
played with my words and were able to leave me speechless. You took it to mean a compliment…not as I had
meant it. But that is beside the
point…it did intrigue me, and was clever.”
“I don’t know if
I should thank you for that or punch your lights out,” I said.
He smirked.
“You’re surprisingly calm.”
“You want me to get mad? I can’t, not anymore.” He seemed to ponder the words for a long
time. I don’t care how he took them now,
I really didn’t.
“You get ahead of
yourself,” he said. “And I still have my question.”
“You got
questions? Well, I may or may not have
an answer, it depends. Shoot.”
“Was that an
invitation?” I took a step back at the
question, surprised to find him merely inches from my face and I swear I could
have heard his heart beat.
“That was a
statement of fact.” I didn’t care what
came out of my mouth now, if I got the better of him without my anger, good
riddance. I wasn’t mad at him…I wasn’t
angry at him…I was more…amused.
“Would you care
to test that out…puppy?” he asked. Wait
a minute…he wasn’t… I mean…he wasn’t teasing…was he asking me out…or what?
“I’d hate to wear
you out,” I whispered with a purr.
Okay…so now I hated what I was saying…but it’s better than staring at
him unable to respond.
“You know, you
sure are a mutt,” he whispered back, taking another step closer to me.
I tried to back
up but his hands shot out and grabbed my shoulders. “S…Stay away from me
Kaiba.”
“You know…you
haven’t gotten mad at me today…you’ve seemed indifferent and you respond with a
calmness that isn’t like you, what’s the matter? Have you given up hope of truly getting the
better of me?”
“Do you realize I’ve been getting
the better of you all day?” I asked.
“I don’t think
today counts,” he whispered. “You don’t realize all I can do to you.”
“Today does
count whether you like it or not,” I said smugly. “You really better find
something better to say or else I’m going to keep it up.”
He grabbed onto
me and held me firmly. “Let me go!” I
pulled away from him but he grabbed onto me again, harder this time, gripping
my arm. It hurt damnit! I couldn’t bring myself to hurt him…I
couldn’t bring myself to sock it to him like he deserved. “Kaiba you’re hurting
me!”
“Aren’t you going
to fight back or have you learned to obey your master?”
“Kaiba let me
go!” I exclaimed. I couldn’t get mad…I
couldn’t get angry at him and hit him like he deserved.
“I don’t care if
I’m hurting you mutt,” he whispered.
Tears welled up
into my eyes and I blinked once, letting them run down my face. I looked up at him, staring into his deep
blue eyes and they widened. I felt his
grip loosen on my arm and he took a step back.
“I hate you.” The voice sounded
like me…but I don’t remember saying it.
He looked like someone who had been shot. I continued. “I hate you so much Seto
Kaiba. Whatever made me think I liked
you?” I didn’t wait for his answer, I
ran.
Kaiba
I could list every
mistake in my head. One, the taunting,
two, the teasing, three, hurting him…and my grand finale…he said he hated
me. He’s said it before…but then it was
in anger. He always used to say it in
anger. Now…he said it…calm, coldly,
tears running down his cheeks. I had
done that…I had caused those tears. As I
watched him run I wanted to cry out to him, apologize…but he wouldn’t even
listen. Those three words hurt me more
than any fight we had had in the past. I
regretted it…all of it. I hated the fact
I had hurt him…hated the fact I hadn’t thought about my actions. I sank to the ground and stared down at it,
feeling my own tears welling up inside of me.
I hated myself…really hated myself.
“Mr. Kaiba, are
you all right?” A familiar voice caused
me to raise my head and I wiped my eyes and rose in one fluid motion, locking
my knees together to make sure I didn’t fall.
“I’m just fine,”
I said, trying to be indifferent. Who
was I kidding? Who the hell was I
kidding?
…
Sleep came uneasily
to me, I jerked out of bed numerous times before I decided to just take a
sleeping pill. I opened up the medicine
cabinet and regarded the labels, picking out a bottle, taking off the lid and
dumping a pill in my hand. I got a cup
full of water and took it, making my way back to the bed. Why did I hurt you? What in my right mind made me think grabbing
you was going to do anything?
I collapsed onto
my bed…it was big enough for two…but only I used it. I didn’t want that…not anymore. I wanted someone sleeping beside me…I wanted
Jou. Blackness surrounded me and I felt
sleep come to claim me.
…
DREAM
I was running, a long dark hallway. I think I was at the school…I didn’t know
though, I just ran. I could hear someone
screaming...the pharaoh!
“I’m coming!” I exclaimed as I ran
forward. I heard someone running beside
me. I couldn’t see who it was, it was
too dark! Wait…there was a light
ahead! I ran harder; I had to get to
that light, the pharaoh was in danger!
Where was Yugi? I burst out into
the light and saw the pharaoh on a cold tile floor, Yugi with the pharaoh’s
head in his lap. I saw he was panting
heavily, his swollen stomach looking as though it was about to burst.
“I don’t…don’t know how she was planning
on making this happen!” Yugi said through tears. “I don’t know how she was
going to have him give birth!” I knelt
by Yugi’s side, watching his love as he cried out again in pain.
“Yugi, what’s happening?” That voice, it sounded so familiar! I looked to my side and saw Jou! What was going on?
“It hurts…” the pharaoh moaned in pain and
cried out again.
“No, I won’t let you die!” I exclaimed.
“Do
you want to help him?” A sharp voice
filled the air. “Did you guys hear that?”
I let out a cry as the scene faded from me.
“You
can help him but there is a price.”
“Who are you?”
“For
everything there is a price, do you wish to help him?”
“Yugi told me you’d let them have their children, what’s wrong with
you?” I asked, my voice laden with anger.
“Men
aren’t normally supposed to have children,” a voice whispered and I found
myself facing a woman wearing a flowing gown. “There’s a price but I cannot ask it of those two.”
“Why not? What is this price?”
“The
price all must pay or suffer the worst fate.”
“Why do you need me to pay it?”
“Because
your destiny is to be with someone…and the price I ask keeps you from him.”
“HIM?” Was it Jou?
Is that why he was in that scene a moment ago?
“I
cannot say although I think you know.” Her voice had changed to barely a
whisper. “Will you pay the price I ask?”
“Yes,” I said, “The Pharaoh can’t die!
I won’t let him!”
“You
agree to it not even knowing the cost.”
I heard a hint of admiration in her voice. “Sort of like Atemu…that Pharaoh wanted to be with his love bad enough
to pay any price.”
“What is my price?” Her laughter
filled the air and she smiled at me, a staff appearing in her hand.
“Something you hold
precious,” she said, her voice
barely a whisper.
“And what is that? I won’t give you my brother or my company
or…” I was about to say Jou…but I didn’t have him…I never had him.
“Your
sight.”
“How am I supposed to live without my sight?”
“How
are you supposed to live so alone with that much regret?”
“How would this help me with…the one you think I’m destined for?”
“You
must learn to depend on others.”
Her laughter filled the air and gave me a chill that ran up my spine.
“Depend on whom?”
“Others…I
won’t have to say who.”
“Is it a permanent change?”
“Depends.”
“Depends on what?”
“On
things you will do in the coming months.
I won’t tell you what.”
“What sort of game are you playing?”
“What
sort of game did you play against little Yugi when the pharaoh came back? If you must you can see this payment as
punishment for that and payment to help Yami.”
“Will this price…my sight really help save the pharaoh?”
“If
you pay it…yes. But the choice is
utterly yours. Would you be willing to
give up something you hold dear, your sight…in order so that you will perhaps
find something you couldn’t see? Being
without your eyes dear Seto Kaiba will give you perspective on things…things you
never realized.” As much as I didn’t
like it…I wasn’t about to let the pharaoh die.
He and Yugi wanted those kids and if I didn’t help, I would only be as
bad as I used to be…and that wasn’t what I wanted anymore.
“I’ll do it.”
“You
will loose your sight sometime tomorrow.
Don’t worry, everything works out.
It’s Hitsuzen.”
“What? What in the world do you
mean?” She laughed again and her staff
glowed bright. “Don’t worry Kaiba…destiny waits for no one…”
…
I sat up straight
in bed and put my head in my hands. I
could still see! Had she just been a
part of some nightmare? No…she said
sometime during the day today… I looked
out my window and saw the sun was rising above the horizon…I never realized how
beautiful it was. I crawled out of my
bed and threw on my bathrobe. I went to
the window and put a hand on the glass.
The colors of yellows and oranges and reds met my eyes…perhaps the last
sunrise I’d see. Why did I not notice
until now? I leaned my head against the
glass, still cool from last night’s chill.
What did I have now, when would I loose my sight?
I sighed and
shook my head. I couldn’t think on that
now. I had to get ready for school…ready
to face the consequences of my actions.
Jou
Kaiba was acting
weird today…as if everything he saw now amused him in some way. He looked nervous, frightened even. He stared at me during class, with eyes that
showed regret and sorrow. I never think
I would pity someone I hated…but it seemed like he was going to die or
something!
Lunch was worse;
he kept on staring at me until he blinked once and looked about ready to
panic! I watched as he stood up,
deposited his lunch tray and walked out of the lunchroom quicker than I’d ever
seen him walk before. I cursed myself
for having the curiosity to follow him.
I set my tray on a lunch cart and told Yugi I’d meet up with him and the
others later before class. I followed
Seto out, wondering where he went.
I ended up
walking down the hallway to our classroom when I heard a sobbing noise coming
out of the bathroom. I peeked open the
door and peered inside. I couldn’t see
anybody off the bat so I opened the door and went all the way in.
“Hello, is anyone
here?” I asked and the sobbing stopped.
“Jou?” I froze.
“Jou, is that you? Where are you?” I recognized the voice. I took a few steps until I was able to see
into the corner near the back of the stalls.
“I can’t see you!”
“KAIBA?”
TBC
A/N: Ah yeah, I know
I’m one cruel woman. TEE HEE! I planned this all out, don’t worry at
all! I am so cruel…and I love how you
hate Kana. You’re supposed to, at least
for this series of stories. Okay now,
one more guess I guess…What’s up with Kaiba, do you see why this story is
called Broken Dragon yet? Yep…you all hate me right now…just don’t flame!
Review and tell me
what you think? I’m warning you there’ll
be a little bit of angst in this, just forewarning now.
Anyways, until the
next chapter, eh?
