The New Girl - Perfection has Landed!

Phantom: God, it’s been so long since I’ve updated ANYTHING that I almost forgot about this… But, good news, people!

Lori: ^__^ this is the SECOND TO LAST chapter!!

Kaiba: I didn’t think I would EVER hear you say that.

Phantom: Aren’t you relieved? ^___^

Kaiba: You have *no* idea…

Lori: ^^;; oh, just as a reminder, people, anyone that wants to help contribute to the last chapter (as a celebration) then let us know!

Phantom: Yeah! Put it up in your review or hit me an email and I will discuss with Lori how we can put you guys’ comments in the final chapter ^__^ We’re definitely looking forward to it!

Lori: ^__^ but for noooow…

Marik: Torture, COMMMENCE!!

Bakura: The word ‘torture’ is an understatement.

~*~*~*~*~

Chapter Twenty - Remembering Who You Are

"What have you got to say sorry for?" Seto asked.

"Everything I put you guys through."

"You didn't put us through anything, We're your friends. We'll stay that way. You're beating up on yourself too much," Seto said.

Bakura: So she bloody well should…

Marik: Great….moneybags is turning ‘Anzu’ on us….*groan*

Kaiba: Agreed. I was doing JUST FINE until this little bitch came to Domino -.-

Lori: And when, exactly, did Kaiba turn into Anzu? "Friendship this. Friendship that. You're my friend! That's what friends do for each other!" -____- feh.

"I still owe you guys an apology for almost killing you. And I'm sorry."

"It's ok. Now stop saying sorry and go back to bed. You need your sleep." Subaru sighed.

Phantom: e_e tell me why the logo for the car company Subaru comes to mind whenever I read her name…

Lori: Because the authoress is a retard, and you need a new car?

Phantom: Correction: I HAVE a new car XD! And its’ mighty fine if you ask me.

All: *fall over* -.-u

Bakura: Sooooo….let me get this straight. Everyone is okay with this chick almost getting them killed? O_o

"Hmm..." Sakura was asleep against Seto's body.

Seto: GET HER OFF! GET HER OFF! CALL 9-1-1!

"Well, more tired than she thought," Seto smirked.

Mokuba: *rolls eyes* That’s only something Seto-sama would say if it were ME…

Phantom: ^_______^ kawaii!

Kaiba: =_=

Lori: *gags*

"That's Sakura for you. Always saying sorry for something that's not her fault. Honestly..." Subaru sighed again.

Mai: But it IS her fault!

Jou: Sort of, but sort of not.

Mai: Ugh, just agree with me for once.

Lori: Yeah! wait....NO! Don't go agreeing with that skank, you're MINE! *stabs Mai*

All: O_<

"Maybe we should leave her down here wit Kaiba!" Joey said slyly.

All: e_e

Seto: IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HER!!! JOEY!!!!!

"Wheeler..." Seto couldn't hide the blush now appearing on his face.

"Told ya he likes her," Joey said, "Give up the thirty bucks!"

"YOU HAD A BET ON US! WHO ELSE?!"

Phantom: OH FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! -_______________-

Kaiba: It’s just so…fucking… childish…

Lori: I agree. *sucks on a lollipop* Phaaaaaantooooooom....you promised you'd take me to toys-r-us! You PROMISED! *stomps*

Phantom: *does a Beyoncé* Shut yo’ mouth.

Lori: XD

"Hey! I said they'd get together after a major event! I want that thirty!"

Seto: ……….kill me now.

"YAMI!"

"Yes, Kaiba?"

"Ugh! I'm taking her to her room!" Seto got up holding Sakura and took her to her room.

"Wow...he really was ticked off."

Honda: Anyone lost, here?

Otogi: No… I know what’s going on, but there’s no indication of *who* is actually speaking.

Ryou: One of the many things that makes this fiction unreadable…

"Hey Subaru. Give me dat money!" Joey wrestled her to the ground.

"Hey! I get part of the money too!" Yami joined in the scuffle.

"Ow...Joey get off my hair!"

Marik: ….orgy?

Seto: Anything is better than this piece of shi-----

Joey: *covers Seto’s mouth*

Lori:.......*grabs Marik's package*


Two Days later...

Sakura sat up in bed. The hand mirror was put by her bed. Every now and than Sakura would pick up that mirror and look at herself trying to register the change. Finally she gave up on trying to get back to her old self. She threw the mirror across the room. It hit the wall and shattered. Once again tears ran down her face. She wiped them away, she only saw her blood.

Lori: NEEAHAHAHA!! Bad luck for seven years, biatch!

Phantom: XD and… ehh… again with the Gothic bloody-tears shit…

Ryou: I can’t take the sudden scene changes! *head explodes*

Everyone: o_O

Ryou: *recovers*

'Why do I cry anymore? I know they're going to be tears of my own blood. Every time. Ever since I became that thing I...I...I'm not the person I used to be.' Sakura grabbed the black hankerchief and cleaned her hands and face.

Mai: ‘Why do I cry anymore?’? That doesn’t even make sense…

Phantom: T_T even though ‘hankerchief’ is spelt wrong, I suddenly feel so sorry for her!!

Malik: Why the HELL would ‘Sakura grabbed the black handkerchief and cleaned her hands and face’ make you pity her?

Phantom: I dunno, it just does. It’s like the same feeling when you see a reeeeeally old man trying to cross the road by himself… and drop something, and nobody bothers to help him, and the traffic starts to get pissed off cause they’re being held up.

Ryou: Speaking from experience?

Phantom: Nah… but I’ve witnessed a similar thing. T_T

Lori: Oh, shut up, pansy -_-

"Sakura? Are you ok? I heard something break."

"Oh...I'm okay...really I am..." tears fell down her face again.

"Sakura! You're tears!"

Otogi: That would be “your” tears.

"I know Mokuba. I supose Seto or Kari have explained to you why I cry tears of crimson."

Yami: Why does she need to be so dramatic? ‘tears of crimson’… Why doesn’t she just say ‘why I cry blood instead of real tears’ or something?

Yuugi: Yeah… for once you make sense.

All: XD

Jou: And it would be “suppose”… but she ALMOST had it.

Lori: *hands Jou a dildo*

Jou: O_________o what's this for???

Lori: *shrugs, takes back the dildo, dips it in ranch dressing and licks it off.*

Phantom: Eww! XD

"It doesn't bug me. Or anyone else here. You're still Sakura Kodasawa," Mokuba replied trying to cheer her up.

Marik: And I’m still going to need an eternity of therapy to recover from reading this “story”…..

"Thanks." 'Gotta love the kid. He knows how to cheer a person up somewhat.'

"So, when you get better do you want to hang out a bit?" Mokuba asked.

"Maybe when I'm better...but for now I just need some time to myself okay kid?" Sakura asked trying to put on her best smile.

"Sure." Mokuba left humming a tune to himself.

Mokuba: e_e when do *I* ever hum?

"Why is this happening to me? Why?!" Why have I become so...so..." 'Cala? Caru? What's going on with me?'

Seto: What’s going on with you? Where shall we begin?.....

'That, young one, I cannot answer. You must figure it out on your own.' Cala replied.

'Thanks a lot!' Sakura replied sarcastically and threw Cala and Caru out of the soul room with a burst of power.

Phantom: *sigh* Teenage tantrums… Why I never tire of reading these I will never know XD

Lori: You were probably as bad at one stage of your life.

Phantom: True, but, I would never tell my “yami” to piss off when she – or *they* in this case – were trying to help.

Lori: I know I would....I was the chick that tied the baby Jesus from the nativity set to a piece of dental floss and swung him around at age 2, asked my cousin if I could "hit that" while he was getting stoned at age 4, and declared that I would "kill the whole family" at 5...

Phantom: Oh yeah…you told me about that…

Everyone: O___________O

Lori:......................*sucks on her rubber ranch dick*

'I hate when she gets like this!'

'I know Caru. She's just upset. She needs some time alone.'

Sakura's P.O.V

I had to get some fresh air. The room was getting stuffy. I sat up but wished I hadn't. Pain filled my body giving me a harsh reminder of what I became. My mind flashed back for a moment to what I did. I held my hands to my head and tried to shake the memory away. Realizing I couldn't I stood up on shaky legs and made my why to the bathroom. Each step I took caused a tear to roll down my face.

Kaiba: Bitch. Getting blood on my oriental carpeting…

Bakura: Oh, come on, Kaiba, I’m sure you had worse stains on your Oriental Carpet…*grins and holds up pictures of Joey and Seto in compromising positions*

Seto: O_O


Phantom: XD this reminds me of the time my friend had to lay newspaper down all through his house when his purebred American Pitbull bitch was in season XD

Mokuba: o_O eww…

When I reached the bathroom I sat down the toilet and ran some hot water into the jacuzi. I started to undo the bandages covering my body letting the fresh blood drip down it. I didn't care anymore. I got into the jacuzi with some difficulty and let the water wash away the blood. I laid my head on the pillow I brought in the jacuzi and let sleep carry me off.

Ryou: If she’s losing this much blood she should be in hospital…

Malik: Maybe she’ll bleed herself into a coma so she can’t narrate anymore…or continue this story…

Marik: But she is the almighty powerful Sakura, remember?

Phantom: Oh yes… but by the sound of it she’s got that disease when the blood doesn’t clot by itself… can’t remember what it’s called >_< *racks her brains*

Malik: Let’s just rename it ‘Attention Whore Syndrome’ instead.

Lori: Yeah… XD And it would be “jacuzzi”. By the way, what’s she doing in the bathroom if she went to get fresh air? XD

Seto's P.O.V

I walked into Sakura's room because Mokuba told me something was troubling her.

"Sakura?" I looked around, "You in here?" She wasn't anywhere to be found.

The bathroom door was open so I walked in. I had left something there earlier and wanted to pick it up when I saw she was in the jacuzi asleep. The water was filling the tub up to the point it would overflow. I turned it off and saw her bandages had been removed.

"Sakura..." I gently shook her awake.

"Huh? What are you doing in here?" She asked covering herself up.

Malik: e_e he’s already seen you naked on several occasions, dumbass.

Seto: -----is grossed out beyond imagination.

"I can't see anything. What's wrong?"

"THIS IS WRONG!" Sakura yelled showing me her hand.

Marik: For one, I agree with her…this whole fic is wrong…. characters… grammar…. basic sentence structure…..G’AH! ><

"Sakura we..."

Lori: We need to talk. I hate you. You're gay.

"Yeah, you guys were going to tell me. Well, looks like I found out on my own! All of these stupid changes and I can't even deal with them. I feel so weak!" Sakura began to cry. I could see as the crimson tears fell. "I don't want to be weak!"

"Sakura you're not weak. You're just scarred at the moment. Those changes happened so fast but didn't change you as a person. You're still the same girl I met and fell in love with." I held out my hand to her and she took it. I closed my eyes as she covered herself with a robe. I helped her put the bandages back on, fresh ones and helped her back to bed.

Lori: God, I can’t even be bothered trying to correct this -.- *yawns*

Seto: *gag*

"Thanks for reminding me of that. I was lost for a - "

"Guys! Yugi's been hit by a bus!" Kari yelled running in.

All: *blink* O.O

Malik: That was…………………very…………………….random……

Phantom: *laughing so hard no sound comes out at all* XDDD!!!

Lori: Can't.....breathe.....too.....funny! XD!!!!!!! *passes out*

"WHAT?!" Sakura said in shock. "How is he?" She asked.

"The doctors at the hospital say he'll be fine and we can come visit him. We just need to be quiet."

Lori: O_____O the FUCK?! He was just hit by a bus and he's FINE????!!!!!!!!!!!

"Seto please?" Sakura asked.

"Fine. Kari could you help her get dressed?" I asked.

"Sure." Kari shoved me out of the room. After about half an hour Sakura came out leaning on Kari. She wore a dark red short sleeved top with a black hood. Loose fitting track pants that were black with a red stripe down the sides. Her hair hung full length.

Mai: ‘loose fitting track pants that were black with a red stripe down the sides’. What the HELL is the point to that sentence? There’s no structure involved whatsoever!!

Isis: It’s okay, I feel your pain…

Malik: Does anyone feel my pain??

Marik: I do.

Malik: o_O…You were born from my pain!

Marik: *evil grins and starts making out with Malik*

Lori: *stabs Isis in the chest like she did Mai.* Now you do...........wait, no, I like you. *undoes that and stabs Anzu instead.*

Anzu:.....*looks up* did the knife pop my boobie implant?!

Phantom: AAAAAARGH!!! *stabs her some more and bloody saline spurts out everywhere*

Lori: Yes, folks, she said "boobie" -.-

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah," Sakura nodded and tried to walk over to me but stumbled. I caught and let her lean against me.

After two weeks everyone had healed completely except for Sakura who still had the silver hair with blonde and black streaks and the eye of Ra burned into the back of her right hand. She eventually got used to it.

Ryou: How do you get used to something burned into your skin? Unless she gets plastic surgery or something, it’s permanent. How do you get used to that?

Malik: Yeah, that’s like saying ‘I got used to having the Ancient Scriptures carved into my back.’

One night she came into my office. She sat down with a nervous smile.

"Yes?" I asked in a buisness like voice. I imeadiatly changed to a softer voice. "What would you like?"

Honda: “business” and “immediately”.

"I...um...they found a new..."

"What is it?" I asked.

"They..." she took in a breath and spoke, "They found a new foster family for me. They know about us being together and don't think it's right I live with you. I really hate this since the foster family lives in America. I don't want to leave. Seto I don't!" Sakura moaned and squeezed some of the material of her red capris in her hands. She was really down about this but the information shocked me more.

"What? But..."

"I know. I don't want to leave."

"They can't take you away!!"

"You don't have a choice. Nor do I. I have to go and pack, I leave in a weak..." Sakura stood up, crimson tears threatend to fall, "I'll see you at dinner."

Marik: *continues to grope Malik* Umm….’Weak’ means ‘tired or having lack of energy’…you mean ‘week’ as in 7 days….*continues groping Malik* ^_^

"Sakura!"

"I'm sorry." She ran out of the room.

Lori: I'm sorry.......but I need to go jump in front of a bus.

Phantom: Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. -.-;;

"Oh no!" I moaned as the paper work in my hands fell to the floor, 'I won't let her leave! I'll find a way to let her stay!'

Jou: Seto moans as his paper work falls to the floor? The only time I know of him doing that is during our moments of hot, wild, unbridled passion on the desk.

Seto: *blushes* <_< >_>

Lori:.....he moaned? *looks over at Phantom* This is one effed up porn flick.

Phantom: *nods* Lets watch "lesbian college girls gone wild" now!

Lori: W00T!

"Seto!" Mokuba ran in with tears in his eyes, "Sakura's packing! She's leaving for good!"

"SETO! SETO! SHE'S-" Kari ran in.

"I know! She just came and told me. I'm going to find a way to keep her here. I...promise."

"Really?" Kari aske.d

Lori: Asked.

"Really," I replied and picked up the paper work. I got up and walked to Sakura's room.
She was packing her books and items into boxes. She didn't hear me come in. The boxes had tiny droplets of blood on them.

"Seto. What are you doing here?" Sakura asked looking up at me.

Is this the end? No! To be continued! Only one more chapter left.
