Author’s Note: I decided not to post the next chapter until I got 1,000 hits. Now that I got it, here's your chapter! I’ll be honest and upfront with everyone reading this collection, this particular drabble was going to be used for a contest, but I couldn’t make it short and be satisfied with it. This is a drabble that I KNOW I will be returning to. That being the case, I hope you are all pleased with it. I have an OC in it, but she’s here to help. Also, all the cards meanings and positioning in here are all true. I have my own deck and did the readings myself. In other words, I hope you like it because there will be more of these types of readings in the future for this story. Enjoy!

Drabble 4: Magic in the Cards
“I can’t believe you talked me into this. I thought you hated scary things!” Yugi huffed and then ducked behind Jounouchi as another zombie got a little too close for comfort. It was Halloween, and the blond had, somehow, convinced his friend to join in the fun festivities at the fairgrounds. Jou simply chuckled and continued to crunch on his caramel apple as they walked.
“Yuug, I came for the food! This carnival is known for more than just the spook stuff!” The blond said between bites, “Besides, I thought it would be fun with just the two of us hanging out.” Yugi rolled his eyes.
“You say that now only because no one else wanted to go with you. I still don’t know how you convinced me… Are we just going to walk around and eat?” Jou smiled sheepishly and bit his lip when Yugi sighed, “Well I want to at least go on some rides! Oh, they have the tea cup ride! Let’s go!” Yugi brightened and dragged his taller friend with him. Jounouchi finished his caramel apple and tossed it in the nearest trash they came by.
“Yugi, you know I hate that ride!” He tried to evade the “puppy eyes of doom” his friend tossed his way, but he wound up sitting next to the other on the ride a few minutes later. When the ride was over, Jounouchi’s tan complexion was slightly green and he had to decline Yugi’s request, more like demand, that they ride again.
“You go Yugi. I need to sit down… on something that won’t move in circles.” The short duelist only nodded and watched his friend leave the ride.
“He’s the only guy I know that can spin in circles that fast and not be dizzy! I don’t know how he does it.” Jounouchi mumbled as he suddenly ran into someone and knocked them over. The small figure was hooded and as they turned their face to look into his honey eyes, the hood fell back. A young girl with vibrant green eyes and blood red crimped hair stared up at him. The sun caught her necklace and the glow blinded Jounouchi for a moment.
“Woa! Hey, I am so sorry!” He said after he could see again. He leaned forward and lent his hand to the girl. Her eyes never left his as she took his hand. The blond felt her jerk for a moment, but just as quickly as it happened, it was over and she was leaning heavily on him.
“Did I hurt her?” Jounouchi thought to himself as he looked back into her eyes.
“Pardon my intrusion into your path, young sir. I apologize if I have injured you. I request you allow me the pleasure of granting you a reading in trade of my rude behavior.” Her voice reminded Jounouchi of wind chimes and he could only stare blankly at her. He took a moment to look away from her eyes and notice her apparel. She was dressed in a long hooded cloak that covered what appeared to be a garment made of scarves; or something like that.
“You wanna give me a what?” He asked after a moment of silence. She smiled up at him and gripped his hand more firmly than before.
“A reading… it is this way, sir.” It dawned on him a second later what she meant. She was dressed as a fortune teller! She must work at the carnival and this was her gig. He followed her, a small smile on his face, and took a seat in a tent close by. The smell of sandal wood caressed his senses and he relaxed into the chair. The teenage male was only vaguely aware of the girls actions as she busied about to grab the tools she needed for his “reading”.
“What’s yer name?” His voice seemed to startle her, but she controlled her reaction and finally sat down across from him. He was surprised to see a deck of cards being handed to him and not his reflection in a crystal ball.
“I am Neviah Benigna, a messenger. I did not know whose path I would cross, but I knew the person I crossed would be in need of a message. They always are,” a knowing smile crossed her face, “and now you must shuffle the deck. Shuffle it to your heart’s content and stop no moment sooner.” With a shrug and an open mind, Jounouchi took up the deck and gave it a few shuffles. He continued to shuffle longer than he thought he would at first, but he felt compelled to keep going. He stopped abruptly and handed the deck back to her with a frown; he didn’t understand his reaction to the cards.
“The magic is in the cards. You have handed me your own fate, chosen your own cards, and I am merely the messenger sent to decipher the message.” Small and slim hands moved swiftly, drawing from the top of the deck and placing the cards face down in a cross pattern. When six cards were set, she stopped, waved her pendulum over the cards, and changed the direction of a small crystal that was at the bottom left of the table.
She explained what she would do and it was easier to understand than Jounouchi thought it would be. Each card had its own meaning and so did each position the cards were placed in. It reminded Jounouchi a little of duel monsters so he nodded in approval and the reading began. She turned over the first and second cards.
“This first card represents you and how you feel in your situation, whichever that may be. The second card lies on top of the first because it will explain the obstacles you have in the near future. The card that has chosen to represent you is the Fool card.” Jounouchi narrowed his eyes and was about to argue, but she continued on, “The Fool means you are carefree. You are always looking for a new adventure, but you have moments where you lack discipline, are immature, and that makes you hesitate. You are also ignoring a great opportunity about something –or someone- you have a small obsession with.” She glanced up to see the shock on his face, “Shall I continue?” He nodded quickly and his heart sped up. The only person he had ever been obsessed about and hesitant with was Kaiba Seto. How had this girl picked up on all that he was feeling?
“I will assume your thoughts are on an individual considering your obstacle is the Lover’s card. You are looking to overcome the frustrations you and this other person have. You want love, trust, loyalty, and so much more. You are afraid you will part on bad terms and let your friends get in the way. As an obstacle, the Lover’s card is telling you things can happen in one of two ways: One, you take the leap and enjoy the benefits of love, the good and the bad; or two, you separate yourself from them now and forever. You cannot stay in this middle ground much longer. It is time to sink or swim. The cards are trying to push you into a decision.” She turned the next card, but avoided looking at him. Jounouchi was busy absorbing everything she said and weighing his options. What else did the cards have to say?
“This card, the Six of Swords, tells me of your goals and destiny. You are at a stalemate with the person the Lover’s card spoke of. You wish to end that stalemate, but how? You are a headstrong individual and you want to overcome the difficulties you have with this person. This card demands a declaration and confession on your part. Swords can hurt, but they also protect. You will not need to draw your sword on this man you love.” His eyes widened, but he said nothing. He watched as she turned over the next two cards.
“Let’s look into your past with this person. The Six of Cups tells me that you often think of the memories and past that you have with this person. You feel like you have met him in each of your past lives. You are longing for a future and want to put the past behind the both of you. I am sorry that you long so deeply for this person. You must feel that you will be a disappointment, but perhaps he will disappoint you instead.”
“He’d neva disappoint meh. He can be a major prick, but he does have good things ta make up fer his asshole-ness. I… I just can’t stop thinkin’ about him. I neva t’ought I’d fall in… like wit someone like him, but I feel like this is real… What else do you see? If I confess to him, would he even care? Would he laugh at me?” Neviah took a hold of one of Jounouchi’s hands and gave him a smile.
“Let’s see what the cards have to say,” she turned over the fifth card, “Ah, the Six of Wands show your fear of indefinite delays. He has been kinder to you and you are afraid something has changed for the worse. They warn you not to expect an angel of him… I…” Instead of going further with an explanation, she shook her head and hurried forward, “Let’s look at your last card and sum up this reading, shall we?” She looked nervous all of a sudden. The fortune teller held her breath and turned the final card, but two cards turned at the same time. They had been stuck together. Jounouchi jumped to his feet and backed away as the Devil and Death cards stared back at him. Neviah jumped to her feet as well, trying to calm the frightened teenager in front of her.
“Jounouchi wait! Your future, it’s trying to,” the teen took a step back away from her. The look he gave her felt like a stab into her heart. He looked almost betrayed, like she planned to hurt him with her evil cards.
“What da fuck is that shit? I’m gonna die? F-fuck this!” The blond bolted without a second thought and left the girl alone. She sighed sadly and slowly sat back down. She shook her head slowly, letting her thick locks hide her face.
“He never would let you explain.” A deep voice spoke and stepped out of the back of the tent. Neviah sighed and picked up the two last cards, wanting to ignore the powerful creature behind her.
“No matter what spread I use for him, these two cards will not leave him alone… Seto, give up on him. He isn’t ever going to understand you. It’s been five millennia, haven’t you hurt him enough?” The young girl, who had lived several life times over, ignored the growl. She turned her body around, cards in hand, and nearly shoved them in the beast’s face.
“The Devil represents you: an ill tempered person who wants to release your heart from bondage. This card also means enlightenment. It shows he is walking towards enlightenment with you and that he may finally be starting to understand… but the Death card,” her green eyes looked downcast for a moment and she slowly turned back around to place the “bad” cards back on the table. Death was a card most inexperienced people feared, but its meaning wasn’t anything like what the average person thought. Personally, the card she feared the most was the Judgment card, for reasons not quite known.
“Death doesn’t mean an actual physical death. It merely shows there will be an unexpected change. It is something he might not be able to handle. Most people fear change, fight it, and would give anything to stop it from happening.” A clawed hand gently touched her shoulder before he slid into the seat Jounouchi recently occupied. Her eyes glanced up into his arctic blues.
“Would you rather nothing be changed and remain as you are: never dying, constantly trying to get him to trust me, and feeling this eternal loneliness?” Her jade eyes hardened and smacked his hand away.
“Do you honestly think I enjoy this? Do you think I asked for this, Priest of long ago? Most people do fight change. The only thing I want different for myself is for this torture to end! Listen to me and try to understand… Give him up and let me finally rest in the afterlife.” She pleaded softly towards the end of her little speech and gathered her cards.
“You are the reason for all the pain I have suffered! This was your entire fault,” he growled, his blue eyes shining as the white scales on his body hardened from his anger. She met his gaze.
“Set, stop blaming me; you know, deep in your hardened heart, that I had nothing to do with your curse. I happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Your power rivals my own and yet you see it fit to curse me along with you! I am a messenger and nothing more!” Neviah snapped, slamming her fists onto the table, her fiery red aura blinding him for a moment. Being a seer like she was wasn’t easy. Her power was limited at best and it was only something she could use on others, never herself. The demon before her gave her a defeated look.
“You wish me to suffer on my own? I need your assistance. Once I have him I promise to release you and let you spend out the rest of the natural life that you were to have before I locked you in suspension… Viah,” his voice dropped its hard tone, but it still sounded slightly icy as he called her by his little nickname, “I love him and I just want him to return my feelings… I don’t care how long it takes. You will be freed once I am satisfied. His feelings of love are all I need… Give me a reading. Let’s see if this outcome will be different than the last hundred or so.” Neviah frowned as she shuffled her deck, absorbing Jounouchi’s energy from her cards and releasing it back into the air. She then proceeded to infuse her own energy into the cards to cleanse them. They were a part of her and she a part of them. Once she felt they were strengthened for another reading, she set them down in front of her.
“I’m not sure if that would be wise… Isn’t this the reason why you became cursed? You just couldn’t understand that the future is an ever flowing and ever changing stream that you can’t control. You tried to control it, through me might I add, and my mentor cursed you to be the demon you truly are,” she raised her hand to stop his remarks, “I bring this to your attention not to hurt you. Set… You killed my mentor and cursed me with your new powers. Haven’t you let us both suffer enough? Haven’t you let him suffer enough? You broke his heart, my mentor, my friend, and brother. He feared your lust for power and continues to in each life. End this cycle and give all of us peace.” Her delicate fingers touched the back of his hand. He didn’t move.
“I didn’t mean to kill him. I was so hurt that Jou… that he didn’t trust me and I just… snapped… A reading, please Viah?” The proud demon urged. He had been in love with her mentor since they had first arrived at his cousin’s palace in Egypt, all those thousands of years ago. He wasn’t ready to settle at the time, deciding it was more important to gain as much control as possible to help the people of Egypt. He didn’t mean to use it for selfish reasons, but he understood why his lover cursed him. It was so Jono would never forget what a monster he had become, all because he couldn’t let the future happen.
“I only help you in memory of him, other than my own selfish reasons. You think it pains me not to see him reborn again and again and not have him hold me like the big brother I knew so long ago? He never remembers me…” When he didn’t react to her words she sighed, “A reading,” she huffed and with narrowed eyes she handed him the deck to let him shuffle. The seer took a moment to look over the man/beast she had grown to feel a small friendship towards, though it had taken years for that friendship to happen. His body was long and lean, pale with bright white scales covering his whole form. His eyes remained their cold blue hue, but more scales were scattered along his high cheekbones. His ears were long and pointed, almost elf like, and two long horns protruded out from his forehead to reach back past his head. His short brown locks were whisked back in their own shape of spikes. Set, the demon, was more threatening than his human form of Kaiba Seto. When the demon was done shuffling the deck, he handed her the cards.
“A simple spread for you. I’ll only do a three-card spread.” At his nod of understanding, she dealt out three cards, representing the past, present, and future respectively. The seer turned over the first card.
“Your past is represented by the Lover’s card. This comes as no surprise. Though I have repeated the meaning to you several times in the past, I’ll tell you again its meaning. This is showing that you had a deep love, long ago in the past. Due to these strong feelings, you find yourself in an endless loop. This card is also about choice, but you continually choose wrong. You let your emotions and impatience over power you and take it out on your soul mate.” She didn’t sound as sad as she truly felt. She could remember every time the demon tried to make things right. The blond’s reincarnation would try to fight him off and in a fit of rage the demon would end his love with death, extensively regretting it after every time. The first time he had torn the male into shreds in his rage, Neviah had been there to witness it. She cried for years.
“You need to remain calm, Set. You have waited this long, why not hold out a little longer? There is always a chance that your future may shift and change,” she turned the next card, not bothering to look up at him, “Ah, the Temperance. Each time I see her with you, she tells me you are becoming more and more patient. You have been less forceful and aggressive than you have been in the past. You may, finally, be on your path working towards true harmony with your love. You may be calm now, Set, but I caution you to remain that way if you want to break the cycle.” She sighed, wishing that the last card would reveal something different, but he’d had the same two cards before. Perhaps his fate remained bleak as always.
“Last card,” Seto mumbled. He watched her small fingers flip the card over. They were both surprised to see that his usual reading was very different. The last card was one of the best of all to get.
“It’s… it’s the Star card! This card is all about your dreams,” a smile finally danced across her features, “The hope and faith you have had will pay off shortly. Your dreams are coming true as long as you stay on your current path! Oh, Seto, I am so happy for you!” Neviah jumped in excitement, but stopped herself from hugging the satisfied demon in front of her. She became serious again and sat back down, giving him a level stare.
“Still, be careful with him. One false move and you could fail. Be kind and loving and show your true self to him only after… I wish you the best.” She smiled again as he granted her with a smile of his own. With a small shimmer of silver and blue lights, he was gone from the tent and walking the fairgrounds in his human form. The young, yet not so young, girl picked up her deck and began to shuffle her cards. One card came flying out, shocking her. It had a powerful glow. With her green eyes wide, her shaky hands picked up the card. Her heart stopped for a moment.
“The… The Falling Tower! Oh no! Trouble is brewing and just might destroy everything!” Neviah gasped and nearly dropped the card. A storm was coming and it was about to hit the demon CEO hard. The seer knew she had to warn him and, yet, she wasn’t sure if he would listen. Thinking quickly, she grabbed for her bag and pulled out a cell phone. The seer quickly dialed and waited.
“Hello, Mokuba speaking.”
“Mokuba, it’s me. I need you to get a message to Seto as soon as possible. Tell him trouble is heading for him. There is a storm ahead and he needs to stay strong. Tell him to tread carefully and to call me as soon as he can.” Her tone left no room for questions or arguments. The boy could only agree.
“I’ll let him know Viah… Thank you, for all that you’ve tried to do for my brother. I hope it all goes well this time around.” Neviah smiled.
“As do I, my friend, as do I.” With a click she closed the phone and shuffled her cards with a renewed passion, trying to rid them of the dark energy. She was glad Set’s younger brother continued to be reborn as well, and with all his previous memories intact. It made things much easier for her to have him help, even if “Seto Kaiba” tried to keep his brother out of such trouble.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Jounouchi had finally slowed down and stopped to catch his breath. He bought a soda to calm his nerves and sat on a small bench. His mind swam in worry.
“I get a death card! All da shit I’ve lived through an’ it tells me my time’s runnin’ out? I was just startin’ ta think things could start between Kaiba and me… I mean, I keep dream n’ ‘bout ‘im. Then he goes all dragon-like n’ scares da shit outta me!” The blond mumbled to himself, looking rather pale. He took another swig of his soda, trying to shove his recent nightmares away.
Jounouchi had been dreaming about all sorts of people in different lands, but he always found himself talking to someone like Kaiba Seto in each of them. In Egypt he had been a magic mentor, teaching others to use their natural abilities for good. In Italy he was an art master, working on a masterpiece. Then there was France, where he was a chef trying to get his name out there. Several other dreams sloshed around in his head: Beijing, Ireland, England, Brazil, Missouri, and even Canada! All of them were different locations, all different professions, but the same situation over and over again.
The dreams all started the same. A dark haired stranger would follow him, interact with him, and then make a move on him. Sometimes he was so nice it freaked him out. Other times he was demanding and forceful, which also scared him. Then there were the times where the stranger was both hot and cold, but they all ended in the same way. Something would happen: a rude word spoken, an unfavorable reaction, defiance, or another stranger trying to challenge him or the other; then he would die. The stranger would transform into a dragon-like beast and claw him, rip him to pieces, and then howl in dismay over his lifeless form. More than once the boy had awoken soaked in sweat, his body trembling in fear, and nearly ran to the bathroom to remove the contents in his stomach by force.
Sleep was something Jounouchi hadn’t been getting much of as of late. It was one of the reasons why he wanted to go to this small event, just to take his mind off things. Now his mind had just been brought back to the very nightmares he was trying to forget. He just couldn’t seem to get over it. Of all cards, he gets the one telling him he’s going to die. With a sigh, the street punk clenched his hands into fists and shook his head.
“No way I’m gonna let some stupid card tell me how ta live or die! I’m not gonna die any time soon. I refuse ta let dis shit get me down. I should go find Yug’ n’ enjoy da day.” The blond thought to himself when he felt someone staring at him. He glanced up and was shocked to see none other than his unrequited love, Kaiba Seto. He quickly schooled his features.
“Didn’t know ya liked dis kinda stuff, Moneybags; what brings you here?” He said gruffly, making sure to keep his worries and feelings invisible to the male above him.
“Mutt,” Kaiba growled in greeting before softening his features for a moment, “Here, take this. Just be on time and come dressed up.” He snapped, schooling his features into his usual stony expression. He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Jounouchi. To the blond’s surprise, it was a Halloween Party invitation. The blond blinked and took the invite, paling and blushing lightly when the taller male leaned in close to whisper in his ear.
“Actually, come early. I’ll be waiting.” With a smirk, Kaiba withdrew and walked away. The blond male was shocked and suddenly excited as he accepted the invite. It even said to bring his friends along. He only hoped the brunette was being serious and not trying to find a new way to hurt him or his friends’ feelings. Jounouchi had a funny feeling that he couldn’t quite understand. He was excited and a bit fearful. The CEO had been a lot nicer to him and it was starting to creep him out like his dreams, crush or no crush! His mind traveled back to his tarot reading with the red headed girl and he pushed the negative feelings away.
“How’ll things ever be different if I don’t try ta make um different?” He asked himself. Slowly, a grin of happiness spread across his features. With his huge smile, he got up to go in search for his short, tri-color haired friend. They had a party to go to!

Author’s note: Wow, these drabbles are going quick! (Knocks on wood). For those that want to know, Neviah means a prophetess: a seer who can see into the future. Her last name: Benigna, means kind and benevolent. Also, all of the tarot cards meanings are true and this isn’t the last we’ll see of this little Tarotist! If the back story was a little confusing, message or review and I can try to explain it better. It wasn’t easy without just saying, “Insert bland summary of things that happened in the past that sounds like it was written by an elementary school kid,” which is something I refuse to do willingly! Hope you all enjoyed it anyway! Thanks for 1,000 hits! See you next time!
