First and foremost, I don’t know anything about the game Duel Monster because I just got into it at the end of Battle City. But, I am still learning how to play the game. Also this storyline right now takes place a month after Yu-Gi-Oh the movie. Okay, enjoy the fucking story.


Chapter IV: The Break-Up

Eventually that night faded as the next event took Kaiba’s mind off Salonda. He finally found a way to defeat the god cards and become the number one duelist in the world. He could “ask” the man who created the game to let him have the card that could destroy the god cards. If he made the god cards then Pegasus should have made a card to destroy them. This idea would lead to releasing the true power of a dead man named Anbuis. In which, Yami saved the day again and to Kaiba understanding he would have won the duel; if there weren’t any interruption during their duel. At the end of the day Yami has his friends and grandpa while Kaiba has is his brother. This didn’t go his way at all but first you don’t succeed then try, try again. For Seto it would be another mother fucking try to beat Yami again.

Several days later without the annoying interruption Kaiba duel Yami again, but this time to take his mind off Salonda. He couldn’t stand the thought of her anymore because the pain and agony she cause for him. Maybe everyone was right, that being in an interracial relationship would cause trouble. Everyday he convinces himself that he don’t love her anymore but in his black, cold heart he still loves her. The more he denies it the more he thinks of his once beloved. Just like everyone else in this world Kaiba just wanted to be at ease. So maybe a duel with his rival could help him a little.

During their duel Kaiba had the advantages by forming his three blue eyes dragons and destroying Yami’s Celtic Guardian. Soon after Kaiba was beating Yami, with boredom in his eyes. You would think Seto would enjoy beating Yami but it seems he wasn’t into the duel at all. Even Yami knew that Kaiba wasn’t into the duel because he wasn’t taunting him or being his cocky ego self. This might be an easy duel to win but it wasn’t a fair duel. While Yami was giving his all, Kaiba just gives 10 percent into the game. Yami was on to the CEO as he played a trap card, trapping Kaiba’s Blue-Eyes into a stinky situation. For the rest of the duel Yami was kicking his ass by blow after blow. Eventually Kaiba lost the duel but really didn’t care because his plan had failed him again.

The victor was once again belongs to Yami but he didn’t feel like he won. This wasn’t a fair duel. -He thought going towards Kaiba side of the field. Kaiba looks at Yami with frustration and really want him to leave his stadium. Soon Kaiba said in his usual tone of voice…rudely,

“What do you want now, Yami? You won the duel so please leave already.”

Yami wasn’t amused and didn’t listen to what he said. He folded his arms and sigh.

“I would but I didn’t win it fairly. You didn’t give me your all and for that, this duel wasn’t worth anything. Therefore, anyone didn’t win the duel but it does seem you throw the duel for God knows what? And a person like you never throws a duel for just anything,” Yami pointed out as Kaiba rolls his eyes.

“Are you done yet, Pharaoh? I don’t give a damn if you think I throw this duel. It just you won and you should get the hell out of here,” he barked

Yami wasn’t having it and knew Kaiba throw the duel. For what, he doesn’t know but his mind always goes to Salonda. Ever since she came back from Death Island, she have been acting not like herself, lately. Yet, in this situation this duel wasn’t to get revenge. What is wrong with Kaiba? This isn’t like him. Could this duel be all about getting Salonda off his mind? Well, this explains everything. -He thought to himself before responding to his opponent.

“Kaiba, does this duel have something to do with Salonda? Because you’re not the only one who suffer from what Giovanni did to her. Don’t forget what he also did to Jonouchi, trying to hold him as a hostage, so he wouldn’t tell what happen to Salonda or his evil plans. Yet, he got out of Giovanni trap and almost took Salonda with him but fail to do so. The point is we all suffered but not as much as they did.”

Kaiba was getting tired of Yami talking of Salonda and the puppy. He couldn’t take anymore and went off on him.

“Shut-up, Pharaoh! I don’t care what ever happen to that puppy. He can just disappear from the face of the earth as long as I care. This duel was to get back my titled not that piece of shit!” he snapped didn’t care what he call her. Yami kept on talking.

“She has change, didn’t she? Like I don’t know what Salonda been doing these pass two months. She is acting like Jonouchi until he came out of his darkness. Of course, he used to distance himself from us, especially to Mai…” he trail off when he notice Kaiba not paying any attention to him. Yami soon added, “Perhaps you should talk to her more instead of acting like a cold-hearted bastard.”

Thinking that Kaiba wasn’t listening, he just stops talking and leave like Kaiba told him. He was this close to the front entrance until Kaiba spoke up with insolence and exasperatedly,

“Do you think I’ve tried that, Pharaoh? Do you think I’ve sat her done and told her how I fucking feel!? She is hopeless and so is that mutt. So don’t tell or even suggest me to talk to her because I have tried. Salonda is on her own and for now on I don’t care what happens to her.”

Kaiba soon remembered that night, when he heard Salonda said: she doesn’t trust him anymore. He felt hurt for the first time in years and he hates feeling like that. He had to escape the memories and her before he become weak . Weakness is a sign of emotions and no determination in your life. If you become weak then trouble and heartache will soon follow. So never feel weak or destruction of love or whatever you call it would make you soft. This has influences his young seventeen-year-old life since his stepfather told him those words. He was so young to hear something from a man so cruel and immolated with anger in his dark heart. Yet he was all Seto had to learn from in his late childhood.

He wanted Yami to leave now and let him be in his own peace. Of course the Pharaoh didn’t leave and knew Kaiba didn’t mean what he said. Whenever he was around Salonda, he would be happier and full of life again. Then again could Salonda be that terrible as Kaiba said she is? Then by looking into Kaiba cold blue eyes he could sense he wanted him to leave the stadium. Therefore, he did before saying one last thing.

“I’ll hope you can say that to yourself each morning, Seto Kaiba. Deep inside you know damn well you still love her.” then he left without any words to say. Kaiba watches as his anger soon cools down. He try to forget what Yami says but couldn’t at this moment. He waited until Yami was out of sight before leaving his second Duel Doom.

After listening to Yami for a while, Seto haven’t learned shit. He was so glad to leave this place and be able to go to bed.

Summer was getting closer but the workload from school and the office is giving the asshole a headache. Sometimes he wonders why he hasn’t quit school yet. He is a smart student and the highest student in the Domino City District with a GPA higher than 4.0. If he’s that smart why didn’t he quit school and run his company full-time? Well, this question can be redacted yet he wasn’t going to college like the person he once knew.

It has been going on a month and Salonda haven’t called him. It wasn’t like Kaiba wanted her to call him but in his heart it would be nice to hear from her. Besides he wasn’t going to call her because it wasn’t the way he is. Still why would he care? Kaiba was moving on with his life with no care in the world.

One night as Kaiba was doing his business report for work; the phone rings. At first Kaiba wasn’t going to answer the phone. It could be bills collectors or nuisance people he works with. Therefore, he let it rings until it was getting annoying and down right childish. Soon he answers his phone with his usual dull tone of voice,

“Kaiba”

“Hello, Seto?” Salonda asks while lying on her bed listening to Alicia Keys.

“Who is this that I’m speaking to?” Kaiba answers knowing damn well it is Salonda he is speaking to.

Salonda let out a rough sigh and then said,

“Don’t you remember, me? Well, I guess we haven’t talk in awhile; you would forget.”

“Since you put it that way…I do remember a grouchy bitch who have been avoiding and treating the people she loves like shit. That’s all I remember.”

“Stop the insistent bullshit, Seto. You know damn well it’s me, Salonda talking to you. So what did I do this time to make you piss at me?” she responded with irritable in her voice.

“Like you don’t know, Salonda Takashi. Think back, about three months ago. You were acting like a psycho and it were getting annoying yet I still held on to my ground for you. Well, not anymore, darling.” he replied as he stop doing his report and pay more attention to the conversation.

Salonda sat up as the hurt came rapidly on her soul. She knew what she did wrong but Kaiba didn’t have to remind her over again. She wanted to fix her errors for a month now and it was not that easy. The fact that she lost most of her friends, lost her job, too many bills are paling on her desk, and this close of losing her apartment; Salonda wanted everything to be back to normal.

“What do you mean? I know what I did was wrong but I just want to talk it over,” she said at last before Kaiba gave his two-cent in the conversation.

“Now you want to talk. Well, I don’t want to anymore. You can go talk to your assignments or that broken down computer that you left here a month ago. But don’t worry, I’ve sent the damn thing to the garbage.”

“You can be a smart ass when you want too! I did one mistake and you are going to hold it against me for the rest of my life? I guess you’re more shallow as I thought.”

“You shouldn’t be the one to judge. Salonda, I’m busy right now so please leave me the hell alone,” he soon snapped.

Salonda wasn’t going to hang up that easy.

“What if I don’t?” she confessed.

“Then here is my answer,” Kaiba soon hung the phone up with no questions.

Salonda was angry with him and wanted to punch him in the face. She dials the numbers quickly hoping Seto would listen to her. Of course she wouldn’t blame him for doing it but having six people hanging up on her. This was getting ridiculous. She just wanted to make everything right between them even if this doesn’t goes to her favor. Salonda loves Seto and she would do anything to get him to listen to her. She waited on line until Mokuba answers the phone. Trying to avoid, huh? Well, I’m not going to quit. I got something in store for you.- She thought.

“Hello, Kaiba residents.” he said

“Mokuba, this is Salonda.” she responds.

“Hi Salonda! You want to speak to, Seto?” Mokuba asks with cheerfulness.

“Yes, sweetie, but don’t tell him it’s me. I want him to be surprises,” she told Mokuba.

He soon responds with an “okay” and calls out for his older brother. She could hear Seto saying “what” very rudely. It seems he didn’t want to talk to anyone during this time; yet Kaiba picks up the phone and Salonda could here his deep, angry, and cold voice.

“I told you to leave me the hell alone, Salonda!” Kaiba snapped. He knew it was she on the phone. Thank God he picks up the phone during Salonda and Mokuba conversation. Now he is piss and very impatience.

“I don’t follow direction very good, Seto. Plus why the hell did you hang the phone on me? I just…”

“Shut the fuck up, Takashi! It does not matter what you say anymore because this relationship is over!” he bellowed with anger.

Salonda eyes went big with hurt and sadness as she heard him say those last words. As the music of Alicia Keys plays in an A minor and the mood that was classical had turn into hatred. It was quiet between as the slow and majestic song plays though the speakers. There were no arguments, fussing, nor yelling between them. It was just silence and they didn’t have nothing to say to each other. It was another two or so minutes before Salonda open up her mouth but with shaking ness and with anger.

“I can’t fucking believe you! So you decided to pull this on me now. Since I’m jobless, money less, and this close of losing my mind, you want to hurt my heart more. Are you this vengeful? Are you this cold-hearted?”

“That’s not the only reason, Salonda,” he said while remembering what she said a month ago. He hated to think about it at this time, “I just know we are not met to be together. So please don’t call here anymore or I will have you arrested for stalking.”

“You won’t do that to me,” she said while holding back her tears.

“Try me. I can do it now and the police will be at your house in less then a minute. Besides I have all the money in the world to get them to cooperated.” he answered as he closed his eyes hoping he is doing the right thing.

“I hate you, Seto!” she hissed at him with nothingness.

“I sorry to hear that, Sal.” he whispered before hanging the phone.

Salonda knew he was serious because the way he said her nickname with sadness and emptiness. She hated the name but if that made him happy than it was all right with her. Soon a tear came down her face as the pain fully hit her at her heart. This was torture to Salonda and she wanted it to end. These emotions have made her feel mad but at the same time sad. Although she hated him yet she still loves Kaiba and always will.

She hung the phone up and lies back on the bed. Salonda cried softly as the man she loves broke her heart. She did not know why this hurt her so but it seems the pain will never go away. She wanted him to listen instead of breaking her heart with his coldness. Salonda cried during the finally act of “Butterflies” without realizing her young sister opening the door and finally closed it. So she would not to disturb her sad older sister.

Kaiba opened his eyes and his head lie back on the chair. He breathe in roughly as he is thinking about what he did. He really didn’t know why he broke up with her but he knew it didn’t feel good. Kaiba hated what he did but again really didn’t care how he felt. He tries not to feel any emotions but the emotions just built up and he couldn’t take it anymore. He got out of his sit and left the room. He hopes these “emotions” would go away and leave him to his life. This will go away by tomorrow but I will be having a hard time sleeping.-he convinces himself before going to his bedroom.

This has been a depressed night.
