Right Here Waiting

[Royal Vizier Kris]

(We haven't done anything on here in a long time. So I'm going to try something...I was reading the very first RP we started on here [on the boat] then I was reading another one on here and somehow got this idea. Anyways, this takes place a few hours after Kris finds out You isn't really Ryou...Anyone remember that RP? The second one we did in Duelist Kingdom?)

'So take me with you.' she could remember Ali's words exactly. It was the night they were going to Duelist Kingdom and the two girls were talking about Kris moving away right after Duelist Kingdom. They were talking about the two of them running away together.
Now as she thought more about it, Kris wished she would've said yes. The two of them could've left together, gone far away, away from everyone they knew. It would've been so much easier to just run away and avoid everything else. 'Running away isn't the answer...' there was always that little voice in the back of her head that told her she should do the right thing. Most of the time she just pushed that little voice off to the side, and then later on she would think about how that little voice was right. Typical.
"I wouldn't mind leaving everything else behind..." Kris muttered.
She was sitting on top of one of the hills on Duelist Kingdom. She was a little ways away from her friends (all in which were sitting around the campfire, most likely telling stories). "I could get off the island tonight...By the time they realized I was gone I would be halfway home. Then all I would have to do is find a plane to take me to America..." It was easier said then done. But it wasn't impossible.
"All I have to do is drop out of the tournament now..." but she was so close to the castle. She already had seven of the ten star chips she needed to enter the castle. Three more and then she could get inside. That meant the tournament was almost over.
But she couldn't stay. Not with You still on the island. Just knowing he was close by made her want to leave even more. She was far too pissed at him to really want to see him, or know he was anywhere near her. If she ever got to America she could get a restraining order on him. Yeah. She would leave her friends a note and tell them she was leaving. And tell them to tell You to not look for her. The only other person who knew You wasn't really himself was Ali. Everyone else seemed to think he was himself, which meant everyone else would be willing to talk to him (hell they were questioning her why she wasn't talking to him.).
As the last boat of the day pulled up to the docks to take the people who were leaving the tournament back to Domino, Kris slowly stood up. She turned and looked down the hill at her friends. She let out a deep sigh and walked down the hill in the opposite direction, toward the boat.
Forget leaving them a note. She would just tell one of the people down there to give the message to the others. Surely they would do that for her.
She paused when she reached the docks. Watching as the other people made it into the boat, she began to think if this was really anyway to solve any problem. "If I go there's no turning back...." she said a loud (people around her turned and looked at her like she was crazy).
Slowly, Kris walked toward the boat.

(She's not leaving. I can tell you that now. *yawns* And now that it's two in the morning, I'm going to bed. Happy New Years Eve!)

Halfway across the island, another fire crackled in the night.
"I figure if we're not both knocked out by tomorrow, the tournament will be over by the time we even qualify..." Rex muttered. Weevil did answer. He stared into the flames and chewed his nails.
"That Ali kid..." Weevil said distractedly, "Did you really like her all that much?"
"She was cute..." Rex said quietly.
"Cute? That's it?" Weevil looked up.
Rex shrugged.
"That's Dragonheart you know..." he said, "Kaiba's girlfriend?"
"I know..." Rex said.
"And you think you stand a chance with that?"
There was a pause, then, "No..." Rex shook his head.
"There is a big difference between regional champ, and world champ..." Weevil said. "Come to think of it," he smirked, "You ain't neither."
"I was close..." Rex muttered.
"Hm..."
There was a long silence as they both pondered the fire.
"Don't ever let a girl tell you size don't matter," Weevil went on, "It's a lie. That's all they care about."
"How's Ashley?" Rex was eager to change the topic.
"If you'd have been paying attention on the boat, you would have noticed me following the cocktail waitresses around..." Weevil said irritably.
"You broke up?"
"I don't like to look at it that way," Weevil said, "She was really just a business venture anyway..."
"Business?" Rex raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah," Weevil said, "Didn't I ever tell you? She's in middlemanagement too." He smiled his wolfy smile at this.
Rex shook his head.
"Yeah, she's a Girl Scout," Weevil said.
Rex raised an eyebrow. How her business coincided with his he couldn't figure. Weevil worked for a drug dealer back in Domino. He was literally the "middle" man. He took orders from buyers and then made the hand off so that the dealer never got in trouble. People needed Dante. Weevil was expendable. He called his job 'procurement'. When did Daisy's get involved.
"She makes brownies," Weevil explained.
Rex frowned.
"She don't sell em to kids or nothin," he said quickly, "That'd be illegal, it's just, some people want to be even more discrete. She's making people like me who hand over the pure thing look like red flags. It's harder to confiscate a brownie over drug charges than it is to catch a kid with coke in his pocket."
Pot brownies. Ashley must use 'Girl Scout' as her position code name. Like Weevil used 'procurement'. They were both middlemen, never making a connection to the buyer or the seller. Both could get in big trouble, and no one would care.
"We still have a business relationship though," Weevil said, "We still have to work together but we figured that's as far as it should go."
Rex was pretty proud of Weevil for that move.
For a minute...
"Plus she sucked in bed..." Weevil shook his head.
Rex sighed.
One track mind.

(Wow! I wrote a novel too! XP *is dead* Oh, sorry...not my turn. T.T)

[Royal Vizier Kris]

(You'res was longer then mine So you can't say I write novels because I don't! I give up on the nevels I write...)

The closer she got to the ship, the more she began to doubt what she was doing was right. It was like being guilty of something, and the more you hide the truth, the worse you feel about whatever it is you did.
Kris stopped when she reached the docks, she looked at the ship and then back up at the hill she had bene on only minutes before. 'Now's not the time to be having second thoughts...' she thought silently to herself. 'If I leave I can't come back...'
She continued staring at the hill and with a deep sigh she started to walk away from the docks and the hill. If she wasn't going to leave then she had to do something else...Something that didn't involve being around her friends at the moment. She would have to wander around the island for a while...Maybe she could think of something to do. Maybe she would run into someone she knew...

(You spell worse than me today! ;D YAY! I don't feel so bad! D-O-R. Dor. XP)

She made it halfway around the island, just listening to all of the other conversations around her, none of them caught her attention, and none of them came from anyone she knew the name of. Of course, she knew the faces of most people on the island, but as far as names went she couldn't put a name with a face.
She was about to give up when two familiar voices filled the air. Kris stopped in her tracks and listened to the two voices. Unforanatly, the last sentence she heard from one of the boys had to do with someone sucking in bed. In at that point, she was able to put a name with the voice. Weevil Underwood. That had to mean that Rex was with him...
She was about to turn and walk away from them (like she would want to get stuck talking to either of them). She took a step away from the boys and stopped when a twig snapped, just loud enough for the two boys hear. She mentally cursed as she slowly turned to see if they had noticed the noise.

[High Priest Ali]

(That never leaves the island...)

Kris froze and listened. They'd both gone silent. But as far as she could tell they were both just irritated with each other and decided not to talk at all. Maybe they hadn't heard her. She began to walk away, back toward the direction she'd come.
"What did you hear?"
Kris spun around and met Weevil's icy green eyes. How'd he get around her so quiet?
"Well?" he took a step forward, and she took a step back, into their little campsite.
"Aw, leave her alone, Weevil," Rex said.
"Shut up Rex..." Weevil snapped.
Rex fell silent and looked away.
(Yes, my master! ;D)
"Nothing..." Kris answered quietly.
"Nothing at all?" Weevil pressed. If word about his connection to Dante got around, they could both end up behind bars for some time. No way were they gonna stick him in a cage. He was trapped enough as it was.
"Some girl...she wouldn't put out for you..." Kris added, smirking.
Weevil glared.
"That's Ashley," Rex said. "She's clean, Weevil. She won't tell nobody."
"She better not..." Weevil growled.
Kris honestly wasn't sure what he thought she'd heard. Knowing these two it couldn't be good.
"I don't expect the truth from you," he said softly, "You're the girl I saw with Dragonheart earlier, and if you've been friends long you're no doubt as strong-willed and smart-assed as she is."
"Hey!" Kris snapped.
"But I wanna tell you right now if anything you heard leaves this island...you won't be hearing anything else for a while..."
She believed him.

[Royal Vizier Kris]

"I've already told you I didn't hear anything..." Kris said.
She glared at Weevil and turned and started to walk away from the two boys. Being around Weevil was just...scary...And it was hard to scare her at all so that had to mean something. If it was only Rex that would've been a completely different story. At least Rex didn't scare her like Weevil did.

(Oh get a dictionary, you spelling 'knowing' wrong -.-

[High Priest Ali]

(I never spelled knowing wrong...I spelled answer wrong though! ;D Earlier. ;P)
