Hey people, this is TyChan26, with a short ficlet of our favorite love to hate Character, Nikushimi. She belongs to Lady Nightshade and I'm just borrowing her for every fic her name comes up in. No flames and enjoy!

Karma.

The sun rises over Dominio City and the sound of an alarm clock just sounded, waking up a familiar someone, someone by the name of Nikushimi.

"Beep, beep." Sounds the alarm clock, making Nikushimi stir and turn over. She reaches over and turns it off, sitting up in bed. Rubbing her eyes, she turns towards the window to see the sun shining.

"I wake to yet another day just for me." Nikushimi says to herself, throwing the covers back and swinging her legs over the left side of her bed. Standing up, she makes her way to her bathroom and over to the sink, turning on the water. Not bothering to really look down in the sink, Nikushimi puts her hands under the water and begins splashing the water on her face.

"I definitely needed th... Nikushimi begins, but is cut off by the sight she sees in front of her, which is the color of water she just thrown on her face.

"What the hell? Brown water? I thought daddy had that fixed last week. I just threw that garbage on my face." Nikushimi finishes, but with an outrage tone in her voice.

She immediately grabs a towel off the rack and wipes her face clean of the remains of the water. Nikushimi walks out of the bathroom and out of her room, heading down stairs for breakfast. Traveling down the spiral stairs, she finally makes it to the bottom, passing the livingroom, the den, and the activity room, and finally making it to the kitchen. She finally arrives and takes a seat at the long table, across from her mother and father, who are on cellphones.

"Good morning." Nikushimi says to them. They look at her and go back to their conversations.

"I said Good morning!" Nikushimi tries again, this time not getting a response at all. Nikushimi gets up from the table and storms off to the inner kitchen to find the all three food capsules are still closed.

"Where are the cooks?" Nikushimi asks herself looking around the big kitchen. None are in sight. "I want my breakfast and I mean now."

Nikushimi storms out of the kitchen, out of the dinning area and back to her room. She immediately gets dressed and does her hair and make up. Afterwards she grabs her purse ad picks up her cellphone.

"Well no matter, I'll have breakfast out and when I come back those cooks are so fired." Nikushimi says dialing numbers on her cellphone. "I'll see if Stephanie wants to go shopping."

After 4 rings, an answering machine comes on, with Stephanie's voice.

"Sorry I'm not in, but if you leave me a detailed message, then I'll try to get back to you. Beep." The answering machine says. Nikushimi fumes and presses off on her cellphone.

"Her too? I just talked to her last night!" Nikushimi fumes, not believing how her day is starting out. "I'll just go alone."

Nikushimi leaves her room, travels down the spiral staircase, and goes outside to the front of the house, where her family limousine is sitting. Nikushimi walks up to the limousine and the drive opens the door for her. He closes her door and goes around to the front, where he gets in.

"Where to ma'am?" The driver asks the fuming Nikushimi.

"Starbucks." Nikushimi answers. The driver does as told and pulls off out of the driveway.

Starbucks

The limousine pulls up in front of Starbucks and stops. The driver jumps out and opens Nikushimi's door for her. She climbs out and step on the curb, nearly tripping. Before she can fall, the driver catches her.

"Are you ok ma'am?" The driver asks formally. Nikushimi snatches her arm away.

"Just fine." Nikushimi says regaining her balance and straightening up. The driver walks back to the limousine and climbs back in. Nikushimi walks inside Starbucks and stops immediately when she spots Stephanie sitting at the table with a guy. Nikushimi storms up to their table.

"Stephanie!" Nikushimi growls. Stephanie turns to Nikushimi with an expression unusual to her.

"Oh hey Nikushimi. Sorry I didn't call you sooner to tell you, I won't be going shopping with you today." Stephanie says formally.

"Why not?" Nikushimi demands as Stephanie sighs.

"It's obvious that I'm with someone." Stephanie says turning back to the guy. "Mark, this is my friend Nikushimi, Nikushimi, mark."

"Hey nice to meet you." Mark says sticking his hand out. Nikushimi stares at it and turns back to Stephanie.

"So you're ditching me for him?" Nikushimi asks practically yelling.

"I'm not ditching you, Mark is my boyfriend and I haven't seen him for a while." Stephanie says.

"Boyfriend, you never told me about a boyfriend." Nikushimi yells.

"I'm glad I didn't. Look at how you're acting about it now." Stephanie says getting upset.

"Well I can go shopping alone, thank you very much!" Nikushimi says storming off away from the table and to her own. Nikushimi takes a seat at her table and puts her head on the table.

"This is not suppose to be happening to me. I never have a bad day." Nikushimi whines as a waiter walks up to her table.

"Can I help you miss?" The waiter asks as Nikushimi sits up and looks at him.

"Um yeah, let me have an iced coffee with a cinnamon bun." Nikushimi says wiping away what little tears she has.

"Are you ok miss?" The waiter asks, now noticing the sad look on Nikushimi's face.

"I'm fine, just get me what I ordered!" Nikushimi commands. The waiter walks off with Nikushimi's order.

10 Minutes later

The waiter comes back with Nikushimi's order.

"Here you are miss." The waiter says setting her order down.

"Took you long enough." Nikushimi says growling taking her order. The waiter stands at Nikushimi's table. Nikushimi notices he hasn't moved.

"Can I help you? You know if you want any of this you can just get it since you work here." Nikushimi says biting into her bun.

"How will you pay for this miss? Cash, check or credit card?" The waiter asks. Nikushimi puts her bun down and looks in her purse. She reaches for her wallet and pulls out her Master card. She hands it to him and he walks away.

Nikushimi continues to eat and the waiter returns. Nikushimi notices.

"What is wrong with you? Are you bored or something?" Nikushimi fusses.

"Your card was rejected ma'am." The waiter says handing it back to her. She takes it from him.

"Rejected? No it can't be, my bill was paid." Nikushimi says handing it back to him. He pushes it away.

"I know what the machine said miss, now do you have any other method of payment?" The waiter asks. Nikushimi goes back into her purse, with cinnamon mess on her hands. She continues to look and find a five-dollar bill.

"How much is my total?" Nikushimi asks calmly.

"$7.34." The waiter says noticing Nikushimi's eyes get wide.

"7 dollars for this little bit?" Nikushimi yells. "This is an outrage."

"The cinnamon bun's price is 4 dollars and for the iced coffee is 3 dollars ma'am." The waiter explains.

"Why did the prices sky rocket like that?" Nikushimi asks putting the five on the table.

"I don't know ma'am I just work here." The waiter says taking the five. "I do believe I said 7."

"Well look just take that and when I come back, I'll pay the rest." Nikushimi says getting up. The waiter gives her a dirty look and walks away. Nikushimi wipes her hands off with the napkin provided and heads towards the door to leave, passing Stephanie in the process. Nikushimi finally passes through the doors and back out to the limousine, heading off to yet another store.

"How can my credit cards be rejected, I know my bills were paid on all of my cards." Nikushimi continues to fuss. "This just isn't my day."

Outlet store

The Limousine pulls up in front of the outlet store, where another limousine is parked. Nikushimi recognizes the limousine.

"Seto, oh my god Seto is here. Maybe my day will get better then what's been happening." Nikushimi says climbing out of her Limousine. She runs up to the doors and burst through them. Before she gets to say hi to Seto, she stops when she sees Pernia at the register.

"Seto?" Nikushimi says, catching both Pernia and Seto's attention, whom is behind a rack.

"Nikushimi?" Pernia asks handing the man the card.

"Pernia!" Nikushimi glares. Pernia gives her a smile. Seto comes from behind the rack and over to Pernia.

"Hun look, it's Nikushimi." Pernia says as Seto looks over. He gives her a stare and turns away.

"Seto, it's me Nikushimi." Nikushimi says waving. Seto doesn't respond.

"Did you get the dress you wanted?" Seto asks Pernia, whom turns to him.

"Yes I did. The blue one with the diamond lining." Pernia says to Seto. He smiles at her.

"The one I like." Seto says grabbing the bag.

Nikushimi hears the description of the dress and remembers she was going to buy that one. Seto and Pernia leave the counter and are on their way out, when Nikushimi stops them.

"Pernia, how about I give you 1,000 dollars for that dress." Nikushimi offers opening her purse.

"I paid 1,000 dollars for that dress." Pernia says sarcastically.

"Ok how about I give you double for it and then whatever problem I have with you, we can call it truce." Nikushimi offers. "I swear I was looking for that dress forever."

"Well sorry I bought the last one they had so I can't do that." Pernia says going around her. She stops and turns around. "And as far as friends go, you can forget it. I will never be friends with someone who takes cinnamon for granted."

Seto and Pernia leave the outlet store, with Seto laughing at Pernia's comment. Nikushimi looks down and can see the cinnamon mess on her black dress. Nikushimi growls and turns around to the register.

"Tell me you didn't sell the last Blue diamond dress to that woman that just left." Nikushimi yells in fury.

"Let me take a look." The man says as he searches the inventory on his computer for one. Nikushimi stands and waits. The computer bings, catching Nikushimi's attention.

"Ma'am I regret telling you that, it was the last one we had. But there will be a shipment in next Monday." The man said to Nikushimi.

"I can't wait that long!" Nikushimi yells.

"Well my only suggestion would be to go to another outlet store that may carry it." The man suggests.

Nikushimi storms out of the outlet store and on her way out, the right heel she is wearing, snaps under her foot. She trips and falls.

"WHY ME!" Nikushimi yells getting up. She takes her shoe off and can see the heel can not be fixed. "These shoes were expensive."

While whining over her shoe, she doesn't notice the limousine isn't out where it was.

"Now where did the limo go?" Nikushimi asks looking around for it. It's not in sight. "When I get home, I'm telling that driver he is so fired."

Nikushimi decided to walk home. What other choice does she have?

Nikushimi's Residence

Nikushimi finally made it home with one broken heel, a cinnamon mess on her dress, and her purse wide open. She closes the door behind her and stands against it.

"I won't be going out there for a while." Nikushimi says making her way to the stairs, but is stopped when she sees something unfamiliar. Instead of going up the stairs, she goes to the dining room and finding a lot of people in there, Investors and lawyers.

Nikushimi walks over to her mother.

"Mom what's going on?" Nikushimi asks in concern.

"Just a minute dear." Nikushimi's mom, Sharon says to her. "Everyone quiet down for a second."

Sharon turns back to her daughter.

"Mom why are all these people here?" Nikushimi asks.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but your father and I made an investment that took a serious fall." Her mom explains.

"You have back up investments don't you?" Nikushimi asks hoping to avoid bad news.

"No dear, that was the only investment your father and I ever had and for 25 years and unfortunately it took a dive." Sharon continues to explain.

"And that means?" Nikushimi asks anxiously.

"Read my lips, we have no more money." Sharon says as Nikushimi stiffens up. Nikushimi then passes out from hearing those words.

Kaiba Residence around 9

The Kaiba family has just gotten done watching a movie together and is now watching the news.

"In today's breaking news The Edagawa (my last name for Nikushimi) family's investment took a serious dive today, cleaning out the entire stock exchange, leaving nothing to the imagination. Now onto the weather." The anchorman explains with a screen coming up about the weather.

"Poor Nikushimi." Pernia says turning to Seto, who has no expression at all.

"It's no one's fault she is such a bitch. She brought that on herself." Seto says standing up. "Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm heading to bed."

"I'm with you. Come on Mokuba, time for bed." Pernia says shaking Mokuba awake. His eyes open and he looks up at Pernia.

"Is the movie over already?" Mokuba asks tiredly.

"Yes it is. Now it's time for you to watch another movie. It's called watching the inside of your eyelids." Pernia says to Mokuba, making Seto giggle. Without protest, Mokuba heads up stairs to get ready for bed. Seto and Pernia head up shortly after that.

As for Nikushimi, well that's another story for another day. Nikushimi never learned that what comes around goes around, and she pretty much found out tonight.

Well here is the ficlet, I just thought up out of the air. I hope you like it and hey it's an actual fact that Karma is real.
