Chapter 7: Harsh Truth Revealed

The next day at school, everyone knew about Kaiba’s past. Yugi and the others were standing near their lockers waiting for Leona. Everyone was talking about Kaiba’s past. Most of the students were either laughing or making jokes about it. No seemed to feel sorry for him. Why would they feel sorry for someone who has teased and taunted them? When Kaiba entered the building everyone started to whisper to each other. Kaiba ignored them and headed for his locker. “Hey guys watch this.” Joey said to his friends. “Joey your not going to do anything stupid are you?” Tea asked. “Of course not. This is pay back for all the rotten things Kaiba’s said to me.” Joey told her.
Joey walked up to Kaiba and said, “What’s up orphan boy.” Kaiba slammed his locker shut and glared at Joey. “What did you call me, Wheeler?” Kaiba asked him. “You heard what I said . . .” Joey couldn’t finish his sentence because Kaiba grabbed Joey by the collar and slammed his head against the lockers. “Never call me that again, understand!” Kaiba told him. “So it’s true then. Rich boy was a little orphan.” Joey taunted. Kaiba was furious at Joey for what he said. He slammed Joey to the lockers, this time harder. “How do you know about my past!?” Kaiba demanded. “Let’s just say I’ve got my ways. And the whole school knows.” Joey told him.
Kaiba wasn’t going to take this any longer. “Wheeler, I’ll kill you!” Kaiba yelled. Kaiba was about to punch Joey, when he noticed Leona walking towards Yugi. “What’s going on?” Leona asked. “Nothing, Joey’s just acting like a moron.” Tristan told her. Kaiba released his grip on Joey and walked towards to Leona. Yugi and Tristan ran to Joey’s side to see if he was alright. While Tea was yelling at him. Leona could tell that Kaiba wasn’t in a happy mood. “Hi Kaiba.” Leona said sweetly. Kaiba just ignored her hello and grabbed her wrist and shoved her against the lockers. Yugi and the others turned around to see what was going on.
“You told them!” Kaiba yelled at her. “What? What are you talking about? No, of course I didn’t tell anyone. I promised you I wouldn’t tell.” Leona said. Kaiba didn’t let go of her. “Liar!” He yelled. “I swear I didn’t tell anyone. Please let go of my wrist. You’re hurting me.” Leona said innocently while tears were forming in her eyes. “Kaiba it’s true, Leona didn’t tell us. We didn’t even know she knew.” Yugi told him. “Stay out of this Yugi.” Kaiba told him. “I save you from the rare hunters, invite you into my home, and this is the thanks I get!” Kaiba yelled at her. Kaiba threw Leona to the floor. “Consider our friendship over. Now get away from me!” Kaiba said and walked away.

Yugi and Tea rushed over to Leona and helped her up, while Tristan was helping Joey out. “Are you alright?” Tea asked. “I didn’t tell anyone.” Leona whispered as her tears were falling to the floor. “Come on Leona; let’s go get something to eat.” Yugi suggested. Leona looked at her four friends and replied, “No I’d rather be alone for a while.” Leona told them and walked out of school as tears were coming from her eyes.
Leona ran out of the school trying to keep her tears under control. She couldn’t bear holding her tears in any longer. She went into the same alley where she met Kaiba and Mokuba for the first time. She sat in a corner and cried her eyes out. “I wish I was back in New York. Nothing like this ever happened to me there. Katrina, Blossom I wish you guys were here with me. You always knew how to make me feel better” Leona told herself. Suddenly, Leona felt someone grab her. She turned around and saw a tall person, wearing the same clothes as the rare hunters.
“Well done, Odion.” Leona heard a voice say. “Hey, what’s going on? Let go of me.” Leona said as she struggled to break free from Odion’s grasp. “You are ahead of that foolish pharaoh, Master Marik.” Odion said. The second Leona heard Marik’s name she remembered what Yugi had told her. Instead of trying to break free, fear struck her mind. Marik saw how scared she was and said,” So, you’ve heard of me before. You will help me gain the power I need to rule this world.” Leona stared at him and said, “I’m not helping you with anything.” Marik laughed then said, “I’m afraid you have no choice, my dear.” Marik pointed his millennium rod at her. Before Leona could react, the affects of the millennium rod had gotten to her. She slowly closed her eyes and fainted.
