"Ki ... Kisara?", Seto mumbled the name. It looked familiar to him at once, but he didn't know where from. Had he seen the girl before? He wasn't sure and shook his head.
"Who are you working for?" He asked.
"I don't work for anyone, I'm here for myself," the girl replied quietly. But then her eyes widened, she had noticed that he didn't recognize her, he didn't even know who she was and that was bad for her, very bad in fact. "You don't know who I am do you?"
"You are my enemy, that's enough for me, get on your move," interjected Kaiba.
"I had expected something different ... Kaiba", she pronounced his last name disparagingly and looked again at her cards. "I knew that Mokuba would forget me, he was so little back then, but that you would forget me, I didn't expect that," she mumbled softly. Slowly her eyes filled with tears, which she wiped away again immediately. That just couldn't be, he couldn't easily forget her and not know who she was. But she would tell him again, at the latest after this duel he would know who she was.
"Finally make your move," Seto hissed. He had absolutely no desire that the duel would last long. It should be quick and painless.
"Don't worry, you'll get your rub-off soon enough," Kisara replied. "I play the White Ninja first and then the Blitzblade magic card," she said and looked out onto the field.

White ninja:
ATK: 1500 (+800)
DEF: 800

"I hope you know what that means. White ninja, attack his shimmer dragon," she ordered and saw Seto's dragon disappear into the cemetery. In addition, he had lost 400 life points. So she was a little closer to the goal than he would have liked. And yet she still had to wipe out 3600 life points, only then would she have had victory in her pocket."Don't worry about me less," Seto grinned confidently. "I place a monster face down, as well as another card, then I activate my snap-beam magic card," said Kaiba and also placed this card on the field. Now he could take control of an open monster on the field of Kisara, even if he would increase her life points by 1000 in the next round, but that didn't matter. He would get her monster and do a lot of damage to her health. The girl had really made a stupid move, a monster and a magic card, that was all there was. The girl wasn't going to be a tough match, he knew that, and it seemed really easy. Now he had got control of her white ninja, who was still equipped with a card. Kaiba immediately ordered a direct attack on her life points.
Since Kisara no longer had protection, she lost 2300 life points and thus sank to 1700. The girl winced briefly when she lost her life points, but this did not prevent her from continuing to look at Kaiba.

"You don't remember," the girl mumbled softly and now let her tears run free. She had hoped that he would remember and not attack her, but she could forget that.
"Stop talking and play better," Kaiba hissed. Only one thing counted for him, a quick game, a quick end.
"You have changed so ... in the past, you were dearer and nicer."
"Then take the book, I can choose another one," he said at the time and immediately looked around for another book. "But we could also read together. I wanted to read it to my little brother, he certainly doesn't mind if you come along and hear something. You can also read aloud yourself," he added and could see that the girl was happy .
Together both children went to the bedroom, where Mokuba was already in his bed and had been waiting for his brother.As always, he got read at bedtime and since Mokuba was younger than Seto, he had to go to sleep two hours earlier.
"Who is that, big brother?" Mokuba wanted to know curiously. It was rare for his brother to bring anyone with him.
"That is ...", now the little one noticed that he didn't even know what her name was.
"Kisara ..." added the girl and smiled a little.
"I'm Seto and this is my brother Mokuba", the little Kaiba introduced himself.
"May I ask you how it came about that you are here?", Kisara asked.
"Our mother died when Mokis was born and our father could no longer stand it alone, he had an accident and also died, since we had no other relatives, we had to go to the orphanage," he said sadly, looking at the floor. But then he noticed that Mokuba was getting sad too and looked up. "We got used to life here."
"I can understand you, my parents didn't want me, I've been here all my life," sighed the girl and let her gaze wander to the side.
"Don't be sad, you will surely be adopted soon and if not, it doesn't matter. Nobody adopts us either because we want to be together as brothers, then we can get through it together and if someone is ready, me and my brother to eat, then we will persuade him that you can come with us. Then the three of us are always together ", smiled little Seto. Those were the days when he could still smile and be happy.
"That ... that ...", Seto turned slightly pale. It couldn't be, but slowly he began to remember everything again. His memories grew stronger and stronger, he just couldn't believe that the little girl from then was standing in front of him. It couldn't be.

"Now that it's my turn again, I play a card face down, plus my healing mermaid and the magic card Sword of the Deep," said Kisara and placed her cards.She knew it didn't look so good for her, but it hadn't been a miracle either. She was not a duelist and almost never played. She had only learned the rules of the game shortly before and had dealt with the cards. "I also activate the rebirth magic card and call my white ninja back onto the field."

Healing Mermaid:
ATK: 1500 (+500)
DEF: 800
White ninja:
ATK: 1500
DEF: 800

"Well, then I want to see which card is there. I play the book by Taiyou. This card forces your monster to show itself again. Then let's see," said the girl and saw the ogre beetle. It hadn't been good because the monster was now able to destroy one of their monsters.
"As you like, my monster-eater beetle will now destroy your healing mermaid and with it your magic card. You know what that means, your sword comes back on top of your deck," said Kaiba.
"Well, I still have my white ninja. Then I want to. White ninja, attack him," said Kisara. She hadn't worried about the two cards face down, and if she was honest, she'd already forgotten them. But she hoped that there would be nothing bad behind them.
At the moment when they attacked with the white ninja, Seto's life points dropped from 4000 to 2950. Now there was only a difference of 1250 points between the two and Kisara wanted to catch up.
Now that Kisara finished her turn, Seto started his.
"Since we know each other from before, I will refrain from killing you with my white dragons. I call the monster blue-winged crown onto the field, but that will not be all Life points and can call a monster from the graveyard onto the field and do you know which monster I will call? I'll take your healing mermaid, "said Kaiba with a grin."But it's not over yet, I'll also play the malevolent Hätschler and equip your former monster with it."

Blue winged crown:
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1200

Healing Mermaid:
ATK: 1500 (+700)
DEF: 800

Now Seto only had 2150 life points, but these would be enough. "You know what's coming next. Blue-winged crown, attack the white ninja," Kaiba ordered. Now Kisara lost 100 life points. She wouldn't survive another pull. "Then our duel is over now, you have exactly 1600 points, and my mermaid, what an irony that it was your monster, has 2200 points, you know what that means. Attack", Kaiba shouted and saw the monster stormed off at Kisara and suddenly brought her life points to zero. The girl was beaten and for Seto it was one of his easiest duels.
Kisara sank to the floor on her knees. She couldn't believe it. She knew she wasn't going to win, but not that it was going to happen that quickly. Her eyes filled with tears and she had to see that the Kaiba she knew back then had disappeared.

"Mokuba ... Mokuba did you hear that?" Seto exclaimed happily. "Gozaburo Kaiba will adopt us if I win the game of chess against him," added the boy.
"Really? Then we'll come out of here," said Mokuba, too, and hugged his brother. Soon the two would no longer be in the orphanage, soon they would have a real family and lead a normal life. Then the little one's gaze changed and he looked at Kisara, who was also present in the room.
"Hey Kisara ... did you hear, Mokuba and I we might be adopted", Seto grinned up and down.
"Yes, I know, but what about me?" The girl asked quietly and with a touch of sadness.
"Don't worry about that," Seto began. He just noticed that he had forgotten Kisara and now he had to come up with something so that he could appease the girl again."It's easier if he only knows about two children at first. As soon as he has adopted me and Mokuba, I'll put in a good word for you, then we'll get you out too, I promise," smiled Seto.
"Promised," Kisara nodded. Then all three did it again and shook hands on it. "A promise is a promise and will never be broken," shouted the three children and laughed together.

"You promised," said Kisara, now she got up again and looked at Seto. He had lied to her all along and then he didn't remember her. It was bad, very bad. She had trusted him and was still alone.
"I know," Kaiba muttered. Slowly he was able to remember it again, especially where she had mentioned it now. Still, he didn't have a guilty conscience, rather he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Why did everyone have to be so sentimental and start crying right away?
"I'm sorry, Kisara, we didn't want to forget you, honestly," said Mokuba quietly, who was much closer to all of this than to his brother.
"Stop ... please stop," the girl stammered. "I don't want to hear from you anymore, you're like the others, as soon as I'm no longer needed, I'll be dropped. I don't want that anymore and I don't want to see
