Selena's face hardened. "Who's there?!" She demanded. My false voice, it isn't cracking. She thought.
|
'And now thanks to the spell, you can sing too. Singing doesn't cause any staints of your ability' the angel replied, smiling, 'Give it a go.'
|
Selena kept her mouth clamped shut. "I'd rather not," she whispered. "Every time I try the inside of my throat bleeds."
|
'You're giving it up already Selena Kudo? You never know unless you try' The angel replied.
|
{I;m so sorry for not posting.. I've been super busy with ordes and such!
what did I miss?} |
((Not much. Just a bunch of random stuff mostly. Oh! And Sora trying to kill Judai with a wrench!
Don't worry, you can still start up again where you left off with Alice and Josh.)) "How do you know my name?" Selena asked with both her fake voice and her mind. "I ask again, who the hell are you?" |
'Who else knows the pleading song inside your heart' the angel replied and began to sing.
Quote:
'I hope you can try and find your true song in your heart.' |
"That's from Pocahantas, Ashleigh." Selena said. "And I already know what'll happen. I'm not going to attempt it; I'll pay for it if I do. By the way, I'd like to know how you found out I'm Kamikaze Sakura."
|
Ashleigh appeared. She was wearing the white dress with the gold sash and the golden shoes but this time, wings sprouted from her back.
"Finally you nutcase! Anyway, remember the gift I gave you before you left for the US?" she asked. |
"I do," Selena said. "But I'd still like to know how you found out that I'm Kamikaze Sakura."
|
"What does it say on the bracelette? If you remember, you can figgure it out yourself" the angel girl replied.
|
I don't need to, Selena said. I know what it's supposed to mean. She walked to the window and stared out of it. You truely don't want to know the scars--both physical and emotional--I carry.
But perhaps it is time I assert myself again, as something other than a duelist. |
I know how you feel Selena and I do have scars but mostly emotional. That's why I gave you the bracelette in the first place because I knew that you been beaten down like me. That way we be both connected. I felt the pain when you got attacked. When Yugi and the others asked what's wrong, it was too painful to speak. After a few weeks, they asked again and I said that something bad has happened to you but I don't know what. You need to believe in yourself more. I was able to make changes to your fake voice ability. I added a song compartment so you can sing without taking chunks out of your ability. Secondly, now if you use your ability, your throat won't bleed Ashleigh replied, "In the end, it's your choice on what you want to do. Do you still want to go down the path of a duelist or follow your dreams?"
|
[/COLOR]'I've got my dream already,' Selena linked. 'My dream was to become a duelist, and I've gone even farther than that; I'm one of the Five Legends. And I've had a blast doing it the entire time. Besides,' She placed her hand on the cold glass. What was this disturbance she was feeling? 'I can't even remember what my voice sounds like. It's been gone for so long.' She turned to Ashleigh and smiled sadly. 'I'm sorry, I really am; you could never fully understand what I've lived with since birth, Ashleigh-chan.'

Parents who pressure you to do what you don't want, being pushed around like a weed, getting teased and getting beaten up and never having a true friend. I have been there myself. My parents was the same. They wanted me to be an actress. They made me to go to every audition. Kids at school teased me about the wrong qualities I have and pushed me around. I never had a true friend until we met Selena. We ended up connected to each other. One time I recorded you singing one day when you entered that talent contest and a melody filled the air. A famlilar voice filled the air.

I was meaning your true dream. Are you going to hide behind a mask for the rest of your life, being somebody you not or are you going to chase your true dream? You told me, I don't know the outcome unless I try. And that goes for you Selena. You don't know if the singing ability works unless you try. That's reminds me. I want you to have this and a peice of paper floated down to Selena's hands. That's the piano music for the song that you- no we sung together. Let this be a reminder of the good times we had together. You helped me to get my powers under control the first time. I help you with your singing. We helped Yugi kick butt when evil returned to the main land. And let it remind you about who you are. Selena Kudo, a duelist who wanted to have one close friend, a great piano player, and a fansastic friend. You created Sakura because you want something to take your mind off things for a while and landed you in the Legends but that's not who you are. You're more real than Sakura. She was once your imgaionary friend right? Ashleigh waited for an answer but felt a tight hug surronding her. Selena was crying and needed somebody to confort her. I'm always here for you, angel or not. We're best friends and nothing will change that, not even an alias. You volonteered to save me when I was under the control of the Head Dark Signer. You helped Aka to look afetr the other girls. You made sure everyone is ok but you don't know how you're special to me. I hope you realised now why I asked you to be my Maid of Honnor at my wedding. I never ask anyone to take part unless they're close to me and you are close. And Ashleigh smiled. |
"Ashleigh-chan," Selena whispered. "Thanks for that. But I think I've got a way to do both." Selena extricated herself from Ashleigh, and pulled her phone out of the chest of her corset top. "Before you say anything, it's the only place I can put my cell without anyone getting their hands on it. Any guy who touches my boobs gets a fist in the face."
She went to speed dial and looked up a number. She pressed the "call" button and waited for them to pick up. They did. "Hey, Kaiba, is there still room for a concluding act in that tournament of yours?" |
"I was going to call you but I have a sleeping beauty here. And I was going to offer you the final spot. I did asked Ashleigh if she know somebody that plays a piano and she recomended you" Kaiba replied.
I explain later Ashleigh said quickly. |
Selena blinked and looked at Ashleigh, who shrugged. "Okay then," She said. "And I'm keeping my alias intact, meaning I'll be playing as Kamikaze Sakura. Don't try and convince me otherwise; you know how much I like my alias." After all, Kamikaze Sakura is the only way I can be myself. She thought.
|
"So, are you going to take up on my offer Selena?" Kaiba asked.
|
"Yes," Selena replied. And she hung up.
|
Ashleigh's body shimmered and then her angel form disappeared, leaving her in a long golden boobtube dress. Her hair was tied up by a light purple hairtie. Her bands were nowhere to be found (since it will camoflash with the dress).
"Oh Selena. I think you are finally begun to find your true self. It won't be easy but you will pull through" and she put a hand on Selena's shoulder. "Come on, it's time to practice for the concert. You are one after the duet I chose and I want you to be the pianoist for the song. Kasanagi will be here at any moment. I'm just happy that Jun isn't here in the moment" and she smiled. |
"I can't go, not yet." Selena said, her voice and eyes turning hard once more. Her gray eyes were like ice. "There's a raid that I've got to take part in. That's why I'm still at the Dark Signers HQ. There'll be time to practice that piano piece when I'm back at Omega." She let her hand drift to a scar on her left temple. "I'm supposed to meet Jun Manjoume, Aoi Misawa, Ryo Bakura, and Seto Kaiba here for a raid tommorrow night. That's the reason I'm still here as a spy; they needed someone who knew the place perfectly. And I can't exactly leave out of the blue without arousing suspicion."
|
Ashleigh took Selena's hand.
"Not where we're going my dear. We're going to a parallel universe where time doesn't past as fast. 6 hours is the equivulant to 6 minutes here. Kasanagi is already is waiting for us and we musn't delay. And one more thing. I'm sorry I can't be part of the raid. Nor Yugi either. Max won't allow it" she said. |
"I'm not going to have anyone sing the words to the song, if that's what you're planning, Ashleigh-chan." Selena said. "I'm doing it purely instrumental."
"And I can see why Max wouldn't allow you or Yugi to go through with this raid; you're both still recovering. That, and the policy that Omega has." |
"I don't mean your peice, the piano score I gave you. I mean for another song that Kasanagi and myself are doing for my concert. Have you heard the song called Sally's Song from The Nightmare before Christmas before?" Ashleigh said.
