Familiar Stranger
I sit in the darkness, assembling the pieces scattered around me. I am called to them, called to assemble them. I only remember fragments of why I am trapped here …the Death T… a penalty game… being trapped in this darkness reassembling the pieces of the puzzle. With each piece I fit into the puzzle another memory comes back. In the beginning I remembered nothing I just had the compulsive urge to finish the puzzle. I have regained a few of my memories, I know my name is Seto Kaiba, I know I have a younger brother named Mokuba, I know I run my own gaming corporation. However there is still most of the puzzle left for me to finish.
My hands slip letting a puzzle piece fly into the darkness beyond the light I have always been in. I curse myself for allowing what might be the final piece of the puzzle fall into the darkness out of my grasp. I allow a bitter tear to streak down my cheek, perhaps it is my fate to be trapped here, after all I need to finish the puzzle to leave this place, and no matter how much of the puzzle I assemble there never seems to be any less pieces waiting for me to add them to the picture.
A pale hand extends into the light… holding the puzzle piece. A girl follows it, she had pale skin, light blue hair, and large blue eyes that seem innocent yet have power lurking within them. The darkness seemed to shrink away from her.
As I look at the girl I have the feeling that I know her, but I have no memory of her. She holds the puzzle piece out to me I take it gratefully. She sits beside me in silence as I add a piece to the puzzle.
Finally I break the silence "Who are you?" I question, "you seem so familiar yet I also have the feeling that I've never met you before."
The girl thinks for a few moments before replying, "I am Kisara. You've met me before but then again you haven't met me before. I met you then died protecting you yet we haven't met."
I speak again "Kisara how could you have died protecting me if I don't remember you? Even though I am still missing memories I think that if someone had died protecting me it would have been one of the first few memories to return to me."
"Perhaps we have met in one life Seto, yet have not met in this one." Kisara spoke quietly.
"Wait," I spoke, "how do you know my name?"
"Do you think I would forget the name of the man I swore I would protect and then gave my life for?" Kisara questioned
I ponder this while adding more pieces to the puzzle since Kisara appeared there seems to be less pieces of the puzzle laying around. I feel as if I am almost done, more and more of my memories are returning as I add each piece to the puzzle. My hands now seem to find each place were a new puzzle piece fits easier and faster. I keep going until I only see one piece left.
I glance to where Kisara was sitting to see her gone and a Duel Monster card in her place. The card depicts a dragon so pale blue that it almost looks white, it as darker blue eyes and seems to look powerful and peaceful at the same time.
A voice echoes through the darkness "I promised I would always protect you, you're needed in the real world now. Solve the puzzle, and return to where you are needed. I hope we can meet again one day."
I place the final piece of the puzzle in its space and then a blinding light surrounds me, pulling me back to my body, pulling me back to the world on which I am destined to make an impact.

Authors Notes: Wow my first Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction. I got this idea after seeing the picture of young Seto sitting in the darkness reassembling the puzzle of his mind. I had to include Kisara because she is one of my favorite characters and deserves much more attention then she gets.
