Seto Kaiba lifted his sleeve for the sixth time, and frowned at his watch. It was 19.01. His already ice cold eyes narrowed and grew even cooler. His limousine was precisely six minutes late. Kaiba was not used to this; he was never late. Ever. What irked him even more about his tardiness was that he had promised his little brother Mokuba that he would spend the evening at home, with him. He had promised to be home by 19.00. And it was past that. Seto Kaiba really did not like to disappoint his brother. His eyebrows furrowed together. What could be taking them so long? All they had to do was to send the limousine down from the mansion – a mere mile - collect me and then finish. It isn't exactly a difficult task. Well obviously it is for some people. He thought. His emotionless exterior portrayed no emotion, yet inside something was telling him that something was wrong. His limousines were almost always early, and when they weren't they were on time; but never, ever late.

He glanced down the dark streets. There wasn't any sign of the limousine. He was tempted to call one of his employees and hostilely tell them that if the limousine wasn't there soon there would be jobs and necks on the line. Kaiba was not only a fiercely protective older brother; he was also a no-nonsense successful businessman.

It was now 19.03. Kaiba tensed up before removing his cell phone from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and flipping it open. Before he could speed dial his office however, bright lights appeared in front of him and a sparkling new limousine appeared before him. The door slid open of its own accord, revealing a dark exterior.

Kaiba's eyebrows knitted together and he hesitated. This limousine was definitely new. He had never seen it before. Yet here it was in front of him, doors open, exactly as his limousine would have done.

"Seto! Come on, let's go!"

"Mokuba?" Seto said, his slight hesitation creeping into his voice; his little brother didn't usually pick him up from meetings.

As if he had read Seto's mind, Mokuba's voice drifted out of the back of the car. "I was bored waiting, and Roland found this really cool new limousine that he thought you might like."

This answered several of the questions in Kaiba's mind, although something inside him told him that everything still didn't quite add up. However, against his better judgement he entered the limousine, the door closing swiftly behind him, cutting off the lights from the street. It was only then Kaiba realised that Mokuba wasn't in the car. He was alone. With that dawn of realisation, he became sleepy and blacked out.


"You guys, why can't we just choose a direction and start walking instead of dawdling here. Really, it doesn't matter which way we go!" Tea Gardener's exasperated voice rang out through the night. Two of her best friends were having an argument about the quicker way to get back to Domino City Park. They had spent about ten minutes arguing, in which time they probably could have got there already. Instead, they were arguing outside the restaurant they had just been to.

"Yeah well Tristan, ya wrong, okay, let's just go that way." Joey Wheeler, a Brooklyn blonde boy said, shoving his thumb over his shoulder away from the direction his friend Tristan Taylor was pointing.

"No dude, I am not giving in this time! Serenity, you want to go this way with me don't you?" He said giving her the puppy dog eyes.

Serenity, Joey's sister, faltered. "Well, I..."

"Leave my sister out of this, Taylor!"

"Yeah, leave Serenity out of it Tristan!" A black haired teenager, with dice earrings agreed, sidling closer to Serenity.

"I'm warning you Duke, don't push it!" Joey replied, almost shouting now, his face reddening with anger.

Tea, Mai, Yugi and Rebecca all sighed. However, before a fight could erupt between the boys, a pair of bright lights appeared in front of them, and an extremely long and extremely new limousine parked by the sidewalk where they were waiting. The door slid open automatically and a voice they recognised emanated from the inside.

"Get in losers."

"Wha-" almost everyone in the group in front of the limousine said in unison.

"Come on guys, this is important. Seto and I need to talk to all of you. But we don't have much time. Come quickly!" The voice of Mokuba added to the speech of his older brother.

They all looked at each other before setting foot in the limousine trepidaciously. Everyone piled into the car, sitting as far away from where they thought Kaiba was to begin with, but the person who entered last had to sit near the far end. That unlucky person was Tea.

As she clambered over the others to the other side of the limousine, the door slammed shut and locked. That was also when Tea realised that they were the only people in the car; there was no one at the farther end and no sign of the Kaiba brothers.

"Wait a min-" she began, but was interrupted as she was overcome with the same sleepiness as Kaiba had been earlier, and she and all of her friends fell into darkness.
