Two of a Kind:Tarnished Soul Kitsune and Cold hearted KaibaChapter 3Interference Thunder continued to pulse above him as Kaiba stood in the middle of the dark alleyway with seven people standing in front of him. He narrowed his eyes at them through the darkness, a bold emotion surging through his veins proceeding him to call, "Out of my way!" At this point and time he thought nothing of the place he was in and the dangers he could put himself through. He didn't care if the people before him were figments of his imagination, normal, sane, or anything else as the only thoughts in his mind were warmth, shelter, and dry clothes.The group of seven laughed and a guy in the middle, stepped forward and smirked knowing who Kaiba was and not too surprised that Kaiba didn’t know who or what he was. He mused and looked Kaiba up and down a sec before speaking" Well, well, well, what have we here. Millennium Duelist Seto Kaiba, Mr. Monopoly in the flesh …" he looked back to his group and they all laughed. Kaiba obviously wasn’t finding this funny.Kaiba’s eyes fell into a deep glare as he stared at the guy in the middle. He guessed he was looking at the leader by the way the others reacted to his remark and by the way he stood. “Who are you and what do you want from me?” He announced through the pouring rain, directing mainly towards the leader.The apparent leader that had made the joke laughed, “I thought you’d never ask.” His voice was proud as he continued “I am known as Graverobber, and what I want is your Blue Eyes White Dragon cards. All of them. Hand them over nicely and we might think of letting you pass.”“And if I don’t?” Kaiba interjected quickly.“You will suffer horrendously” Graverobber answered.“Well that’s too bad… I’m not going to hand over my Blue Eyes and you’re not going to keep me here.” Kaiba’s voice was shaky as he spoke which didn’t help his outlook, it made him seem pathetic and weak apposed to strong and intimidating. Graverobber smirked and began to walk closer to the freezing Kaiba, unaffected by the cold and rain at all. Kaiba smiled and clenched his fist then took a swing right for Grave’s face but right before he could hit him in the jaw his target moved swiftly to one side evading the punch, this set him up well to hit the up-brought knee thereby knocking the wind out of him. Kaiba dropped the brief case he still carried, his upper torso falling forward as his gut -the mid portion between his chest and waist- was forced backwards. A streak of pain shot through his body, his eyes widening in response as every muscle in his body tightened then loosened as he fell breathless to his knees. Graverobber didn’t wait too long before he brought a hand to Kaiba’s collar and lifted him to his feet with a dark expression on his face. “Oh that’s just too bad. I thought you were faster than that but I guess I was wrong. Heh, heh, heh, you going to hand over that Blue Eyes yet?”“Never….” Kaiba had spat out trying to hide the pain he felt.“Oh well that’s just too bad.” Graverobber replied forcing Kaiba backwards roughly into one of the alleyway’s concrete walls. Then with a wave of his hand a bright light appeared in the shape of a ball and sped through the air towards Kaiba. The sphere of light skimming his side, burning away both cloth and skin, that happened to lie within its line of reach.Kaiba yelled in pain as he slid down the wall to the ground, unable to catch his breath from being short winded and now suffering of the agonizing burning sensation in his side. He didn’t lay long before Graverobber walked over to him grabbing his shirt, and picked him up, and throwing him into a dumpster near the right side of the alleyway from Grave’s side. He shot Kaiba once more with a blue ball of light, but this time hit him square in the chest laughing at the sounds of Seto’s painful cries of agony, the sphere of energy continuing to tear into him, disintegrating cloth and flesh before disappearing.“Had enough yet?” Graverobber asked with a smirk. But before Kaiba could give him an answer he saw another ball of light being fired from Graverobber’s position and began to think the worst. This one would rip through his flesh and bone going through him entirely. Graverobber had decided a while ago that he was going to take the card by force and Kaiba couldn’t help but feel that he would not live to see the next day.Kaiba lay up against the dumpster drowning in pain; it was almost too much to bear. He couldn’t move from it, he was paralyzed, and the rain didn’t help. It stung his face and felt as though it were eating away at his burned flesh. ~This man isn’t human~ he thought to himself. His vision beginning to blur with the rain, the darkness, and the incredible ache of his body, he felt as if he were going to pass outGraverobber laughed once more before stating “This is the end for you Seto Kaiba!” The ball of light he had fired gaining in speed and distance of Kaiba’s hurt body, aiming directly for his already wounded chest. He laughed insanely as he watched the final seconds of Kaiba’s demise but his fun was short lived as he watched the ball of light explode on impact with an alien energy, only inches away from Kaiba’s body and illuminating the entire alleyway in a bright light -allowing only seconds for Kaiba to glimpse at the predators faces. - Grave’s eyes widened and he looked instantly to the middle of the alleyway.In the moment of illumination a cloaked figure was seen standing in the middle of the alley unmoving. Graverobber glared at the silhouette, the darkness returning and thunder pounded in the sky making the earth shake beneath its incredible belly rumble. He seemed most unhappy at the turn of events that were about to occur. But then again… who wouldn’t be?The ever present voice of a woman suddenly drifted into the air. A voice that Kaiba instantly recognized as the woman he had met not to long ago. It was Kitsune.“I thought I told you to leave the norms alone.” Kitsune replied from the darkness of her cloak. Her tone was irritant and yet amused all in one. But that careless demeanor of hers was seen well and that seemed to piss Graverobber off even more, as he narrowed his eyes into an even deeper glare. Kitsune seemed to ignore him and took a few steps closer to the group now being across from Kaiba lying against the dumpster. She looked to his weak body lying there all bloodied and soaked and asked carelessly “You alright?” Kaiba couldn’t answer but Kitsune new he would live. She looked back to Graverobber with an annoyed look on her face and despite the fact her face could not be seen, her body sent out violent vibes of annoyance and anger that everyone in the alley could feel, millennium duelist or not.“You apparently haven’t learned your lesson.” She replied mockingly.“You haven’t learned your lesson!” Grave yelled angrily. “Why do you protect these norms? Why Tarnished Why!?”~Tarnished! ~ Kaiba thought. ~You mean to tell me the woman I have been looking for all this time was right in front of my eyes!~ Kaiba’s eyes widened a little, he was right all along. His suspicions played him right into the truth, now all he had to do was get out of this mess but wished he could see what was going on.“One, because he is on my territory and it is my obligation to do so.” She glanced a moment at Kaiba then looked back to Graverobber before continuing. “Two, he didn’t do anything to any of you. And three, because I wanted a good reason to kick your ass. Now get out of my domain before I do so!”At that point Graverobber turned to his crew of six (seven counting him) and signaled for three of them to attack her. They each nodded and broke free of the wall they had made to prevent Kaiba from escaping, and rushed to Kitsune. Kaiba meanwhile sat in the cold in a puddle of his own blood and could seeing nothing, but only hearing what was going on.Kitsune shook her head and moved to the right evading a punch that sped by her head from one of the group members. She then stuck out her foot carelessly and tripped him, twirled around on her other heel and brought a fist to the back of his head propelling him forward from the great force into the ground, face first. She then ducked as another fist came flying to her face, scrunching to the ground, her eyes gazing up to her target, both fists clenched then shot up instantly from the ground with her left first raised in an uppercut striking her targets jaw as she came up. The cloaked figures head was forced up with his body, floating for a moment above the ground before Kitsune bashed her right fist into his chest hurling him backwards into the concrete wall on the opposing side of Kaiba. She watched with great amusement as the guy she just whooped fell limply to the ground unconscious.The third member kicked at her legs trying to trip her but she jumped and landed, kicked the still moving leg making him trip himself, and moved over him somewhat and shot a first into his chest beating him into the ground leaving him breathless and unconscious.(Note from the authors: Sorry Kaiba… we aren’t as good at fight scenes as you are. *all sigh* oh well. We tried. Whatever you people think though, don’t take our patheticness to be what Kitsune and the others to be too. )Kaiba couldn’t believe his ears at all he was hearing. He heard three bodies hit the floor and something told him it wasn’t Kitsune but he wasn’t sure or not until he heard Graverobber’s next reply. “DAMN YOU!” screamed Graverobber his anger voraciously climbing with increased passion as he looked on at his crew being beaten. He gave a quick look of frustration and fright as he turned on a heel and walked quickly to one of the other members of his group. He placed a hand on said members shoulder and whispered something to her. The member nodded and signaled to the other two members left standing, to help with the three that were lying on the ground. They nodded and went to help as she herself went to pick up one of the men unconscious on the ground. Graverobber gave one more glance to Kitsune before he disappeared in darkness.The woman that Graverobber had spoke to started to head out with the other remaining conscious members and spoke. Her voice was gentle but had a vibe that commanded all attention, “This is but a battle within the great war that is to come. Make no mistake Tarnished when it does we are the ones who will win it.”“Sorry to inform you of the bad news Queen but the only one who will win that war is me. If you keep getting in my way I’ll just have to keep kicking your asses until it sinks into your thick skulls that you shouldn’t be here and you can’t beat me.” Kitsune finalized as the members of the Royals of Death followed their leader into the dark, Queen following only after Kitsune’s final statement. With the seven gone, Kitsune walked over to Kaiba and shook her head replying with no surprise “Pathetic...” Kaiba narrowed his eyes in response to the insult but Kitsune ignored it as she knelt down and took his right arm gently and pulled him up away from the dumpster. He tried not to yell from the pain of movement and just clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, shutting his eyes tightly. Next she picked him up to his feet and took his right arm moving it over her shoulders allowing herself to be used as a crutch. Kaiba finally yelled during the last part of it all and narrowed his eyes looking through the heavy rain to the cloaked figure that was helping him, still incapable of seeing anything but still received her vibes of annoyance, guessing it was because she had to carry him. He wasn’t far off from what she felt like either, she was more irritant of where she had to bring him than annoyed of having to carry him. “What are you doing?” He asked before they started walking the opposite of where he wanted to go. “I’m taking you to my place.” She answered, her voice just drowning in spite.“Your place!” Kaiba interjected quickly all the while thinking ~She’s taking me to her place? Why? What is she planning? ~(Note from the authors: Wow we haven’t interrupted much at all to insult our readers or interrupt anything… what is wrong with us? Oh well whatever… down to business. We interrupt the end of this chapter to say that originally Kitsune’s character would have the ability to hear what Kaiba is thinking, but it seems to be a bit difficult for her to answer in the middle of things so that ability of hers will show up later. Thanks for reading this chapter, we hope you enjoyed it and apologize for ending with a FUCKING AUTHORS NOTE!!!!! Ok… end. One last thing... REVIEW!!! We want to know if anyones bored enough to read this shit.)
