Krissy Page 60

"That's better," she remarks, "you can be a good kitty when you want to be." She chuckles when it looks like he’s pouting. The warm water runs gently between them as the hair is cleaned and rinsed. She feels his paws bat at her arms and purrs gently trying to convey how much he wants out. Looking at him wondering just where exactly he came from, but she dismisses the thought after all she did marry a Muto. "Honey something wrong? You look concerned."

Yugi sighed and rubbed his face, that wasn't half of what he was feeling. He sometimes just got this strange sense that something was wrong, somewhere close to them. "I don't know" he replies. Truth was he didn't, he only had this feeling a few times before and each time was bad. "But I feel a storm brewing."

I feel so violated, Atem thinks as he hops out the sink the first chance he gets and runs off. He was suddenly glad that they saw him as a kitten now. He sulks his way out of the house. Maybe seeing Kaiba would cheer him up, after all he's not going to be too happy now the task has changed. His eyes catch a slight movement and in a blink he chased after it meowing happily as he plays with some string. What is wrong with me? This is so much fun! Oh I know I'll go spy on Krissy! Right after I kill this mouse! The tail stops as his muscles coil his body into a pounce position. His amethyst eyes never deviating from his prey he waits with that patience he's built up over the many duels. The paper moves and he strikes.

I wonder what I should call him if I name him Atem it would get confusing although he'd come when I called, Krissy muses having lost interest in class. Scribbled all over her notes are little drawings of Atem and the kitten. Her pencil goes about finishing another little heart next to his name. Her former bullies just seem to ignore her now, it was strange as if it was over night the change. She shrugged her shoulders blowing it off, what did it matter now anyway?

Jono however had been peeking over her shoulder when the teacher wasn't nearby and he didn't like what he saw. Never had he felt this angry over his best friend with some guy. Sure she had boyfriends in the past but they never worked out. He could feel himself scowling having met Atem. The guy had it all, the calm, the cleverness and the dueling ability maybe that was it. He feels the tournament flyer in his pocket. What did this upstart have a chance with Krissy anyway? After all he has known her longer, it won't last and to prove it he's going to duel him.

Hearing her voice instantly snapped him out of his thoughts and plans. Leaning forward so she knows how much of interest she is to him he props his head up on his hands. "Yes?" trying not to sound too interested, he's been careful not to tell her for years and praying she'd come to it on her own.

"What do you think about me joining the tournament?" she asked clearly having given it some thought.

"I think you'll do well and you should enter. I’m thinking about entering as well"
Her skin pulled slightly as one of her eye brows raised slightly "I've never seen you duel. Why would you enter? You'd have to pass the qualifying rounds do you even have a deck?"

"Of course I do, mom and dad are always dueling and they taught me. Why you don't think I can duel?" No you don't think I can stand against that annoying crush of yours. I'll see to it that he's cast from your memory.
