Two of a Kind:

Tarnished Soul Kitsune and Cold hearted Kaiba

Chapter 2

Millennium King and Shadow Queen

Further and further into the abandoned part of Domino City Kaiba walked. He did not bother heading into the warehouses or buildings he passed, but instead just walked down the vast deserted alleyways. It wasn't the best way to find someone that was running but he had a lot of time to find her and figured that he would just scour the streets today, for anyone that may know of any answers to his somewhat endless amount of questions, and check the buildings tomorrow.

He walked about 7 more blocks finding nothing but thrown out newspapers, half eaten food, decaying rat bodies- Kaiba was somewhat interested in how so many rats could be killed and have none be eaten- and other trash left by fleeing "tourists" -as the "natives" of this area would call them- that came and ran away after seeing some interesting images within the alleys.

Kaiba's day light was going fast as the sun now hung low in the sky, sinking behind a mass of storm clouds at an abnormal pace. The sky was filled with soft oranges, reds, purples, and pinks, but Kaiba knew it wouldn't stay that way. The storm clouds were moving in just as fast, and he was just about to call it a day when; out of the corner of his left eye he noticed something he hadn't seen before. To his left about 8 ft away, a cloaked figure stood leaning against a wall, arms crossed and one foot up against the wall with their eyes closed. He could tell by the features of the face that it was a woman, after all her hood was down. However as the sun set, he couldn't make out entirely what she looked like in the dim lighting.

(Note from the authors: I know some of you may be frustrated as to what she looks like. As if we expect you to play her looks by memory or something, when half of you have never even seen pics of em. But you know what? We the authors would like you to try and picture as best you can ca character that best fits the personality. For those who have played FFX-2 picture Paine… why? Cuz we said so. Now if you've never played that game and have seen Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040 then picture Priss… everyone else. Happy thinking.)

Kaiba began to ponder asking her about Tarnished but was unsure if anyone knew her. Surely if she were a smart hacker there would be no one in this place that would know she were even here, but Damon knew so certainly someone around here must also know.

He debated the matter a little while in his head and came to the conclusion that he wouldn't ask and just continue walking down the alley for more occupants. He took a step, keeping his eyes ahead of him focusing on the end of the alleyway and took a few more. He was being cautious now, even he did not know why until… a voice…. "People like you don't belong here."

Kaiba stopped moving, his eyes darting to the strange woman leaning against the wall of an apartment building. Her eyes were still closed seemingly having not moved at all from the moment he first noticed her. Then he also realized that he was aligned directly across from her, this would have freaked many people out as she was so precise when talking she got him to stop immediately in front of her. But Kaiba was not easily scared; it was obvious to him that she timed the rhythm of his footsteps, hearing his positioning by the way his footsteps echoed down the alley. He then came to realize another thing… if that really had been the case and she had used the echo's to position him to stop directly in front of her then this woman also possessed a level of thinking that may as well rival his own.

Something about the way she stopped him was suspicious however… and the thought of him finding the hacker so suddenly crossed his mind. He wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, but instead lead this woman to tell him what she knew. He started out as any other person might and asked a question. "Excuse me?"

(Note from the authors: Sorry to interrupt folks… we just had to say that if that was all confusing to you we are sorry. It turned out bad in this area and might continue that way for a little while. Once again we are sorry if it happens. It'll get better though and if not we apologize for that too.)

Still the woman's eyes remained closed, an annoyed tone resting in the opposing voice as she spoke "Millennium Duelists are not welcome on Shadow Duelist domain…"

Kaiba turned half way to see her better, though his sights of her not getting any better, as the sun continues to set. He narrowed his eyes "Shadow Duelist Domain?" ~So the rumors are true…~he thought ~ this area has been inhabited by the people known as Shadow Duelists… I suppose the rumors of some sort of mirages are true as well. ~

"Who are you?" Kaiba asked suddenly ignoring his own thoughts.

At the question the eyes of the woman open revealing deep emerald greens hues, full of pride and irritation, her voice is uncaring as she answers; as is the look on her continuously darkening face, as more of the storm clouds cover the sky, lighting ripping threw the clouds and thunder pulsing almost suddenly after each strike. "My name… my name is Kitsune Motou… not that it would matter to a low life such as you."

Kaiba's eyes widened a little in surprise and the shock was clearly seen on his face. Kitsune Motou? It can't be… you mean to tell me that she is related to the Motou's? She looks nothing like them… perhaps… his thoughts abruptly stopped and an open question took over. "Kitsune Motou… as in… the sister of Yugi Motou?" He had to ask the question to clarify his thoughts.

"That's right…" the other replied still careless. "His big sister to be exact."

"How can that be? You look nothing like Yugi or his grandfather." Kaiba interjected

"You've apparently never seen any of the women of our family." Kitsune countered.

Kaiba's eyes narrowed in response and said nothing.

A smirk lifted on Kitsune's lips finally changing her expression, her tone of voice changed as well from careless, to mocking "How presumptuous. Thinking everyone in the Motou family, female and male all are short and stupid with tri-colored hair."

Kaiba spoke up quickly in his defense "You're right I have never seen any of the females in your family before, and I know I was being presumptuous but you have proved me otherwise."

The careless expression was on the woman's face again. The conversation had come to n end before it had really even begun. The storm had come in faster than expected and Kitsune did not want to talk to the `outsider' in the middle of it. She turned on a heel to her left and began to walk down the alleyway pulling her hood up over her head as she did so.

Kaiba had no time to talk to her as she went away the thunder pulsing even louder in the clouds above his head rain slowly beginning to fall. He watched helplessly as the woman he was talking to walked away. He didn't get to any of the questions aside what her name was and didn't even get to Tarnished. He would have to come back tomorrow. He also had to get out of the storm.

Kaiba turned on a heel as well ad walked in the direction he had come from the alleyway was dark now and the rain was beginning to fall faster. He was now regretting walking out here but couldn't do anything about it now.

He walked 6 blocks from where he had met Kitsune and was drenched from head to toe. He was having a hard time seeing also do to the harsh conditions of the falling rain. He also couldn't see because of the thick clouds above him shadowing the ground below. The only time he could really see was when the lightning shot threw the clouds.

20 minutes had passed and he was almost out of the horrid place that was Old Domino City, but where he was right now was the darkest part. There was absolutely no light and the lightning seemed to be less here for some strange reason. He was cold and wet and thought for sure he would catch some sort of vile disease within the place he resented to be. His hands shook, and his skin slightly paled as freezing winds passed by him.

With such horrid conditions he dropped his brief case and in the darkness stumbled to find it. (Kinda funny cuz he had dropped it and didn't realize it and so had to go back a few feet to find it.)

At last he had found the brief case it was about 7 feet behind him. He picked it up and when he turned a great lightning bolt struck the ground near him and in the darkness for only a few moments shown the silhouettes of 7 people in a line from alley wall to alley wall blocking his way of passage. He stood in the blistering cold, with harsh winds pushing against him and needle drops of rain piercing his body, and looked threw the darkness at the silhouettes in the alley. Who were these people? Where they a figment of his imagination? Were they allies? Where they foes? Many a question filled his mind and wished answers to but soon he would regret ever requesting such things of grouped strangers ever again…

(Note from the idiot interrupting authors: Sorry folks we have to end with our blue trend author note thing. We realize that this chapter is not our best one and we are SORRY! The next chapter may suck badly too but what happens, happens. We try to keep you interested and that is it. If we don't have extreme detail we can't help it. We just don't work that way. Anyways… no more kissin ass… The next chappy some of you might kick our ass for. Sorry Kaiba but your ass is gonna be beaten, but some good will come out of it… we promise.)
