Chapter 1: Hello Again

Domino City- 3 weeks later

This was turning out to be one of the worse weeks ever, Kaiba thought to himself as he sped down the streets of Domino City.

He was now short by eight employees, his board of advisors still viewed him as unfit to run his company (being younger than the general working class definitely had its downs), and to add fuel to that fire his company was behind in production.

This was the problem with relying on so many people: nearly nothing gets done the way you want it to be done and when it doesn't you're left to do damage control. Must I do everything myself? He thought bitterly, speeding right through a stoplight.

At least he could take his frustration out on the road since taking it out on another employee wasn't in his best interests.

Kaiba sighed as he tried to refocus on the said road. It also wasn't in his best interests to get into a car crash over these issues, however infuriating they were. He turned into an alley in order to bypass all the stoplights and stop signs, slowing down enough to keep his car from hitting the corners. He was just thinking how he was going to explain to Mokuba why he was (once again) out so late when he felt and heard something crash into his car.

Instinctively, Kaiba slammed his foot on the brake and the car skidded to a halt. What the hell just hit him? He was so busy with his own thoughts that he wasn't even paying attention to his surroundings.

Fucking fantastic, Kaiba thought furiously, while stepping out of his car. This was the last thing he needed to happen.

He swore when he saw the crumpled heap of a body laying a few feet from the car. The deep purple jacket and blue jeans the person was wearing was shredded in several places and Kaiba could see a few drops of blood illuminated by his rearview lights.

As he moved toward the body, Kaiba called out, "Hey are you—" He stopped approaching when he saw the body moving; coughing as it carefully sat up.

Kaiba's eyes widen in shock; he was staring at the familiar spiky, tri-colored hair. He couldn't believe he hit Yuugi of all people…or did he hit him? And what the hell was he doing away from his house at this time of night?

He was about to speak again when Yuugi turned around to him but it wasn't the violet eyes that he identified with Yuugi but scarlet eyes that he was staring into…eyes he hadn't seen for nearly a year….Maybe the light from the car was causing this trick because he knew that this person couldn't be here. On the other hand, car lights doesn't make a person's skin appear darker than it should've been and he was sure that Yuugi didn't get that tanned. This couldn't be happening.

Regaining his voice, the only thing he manage to say was, "You're supposed to be dead."

With a grimace Yami stood up, wrapping his arm around his stomach before replying sarcastically, "Oh, hi, Kaiba. Nice to see you again too. I'm fine by the way, thanks for asking."

Before Kaiba could retort back a movement in the darkness caused both of them to turn and Kaiba was once again stunned.

Facing away from them was the Dark Magician looking every bit as something that's tangible but there was also a receding figure moving across the buildings.

Yami swore in his ancient tongue. This went from bad to worse in only three minutes. Now how was he going to explain this?

"What is that?" Kaiba exclaimed. He couldn't make the thing out but he could tell that whatever it was, it was made entirely out of bones.

He turned back towards Yami and watched as he dismissed his magician, his arm still clutching around his middle. This wasn't making any sense but he be damned if he didn't get any answers out of him.

Shorteing the distance between them Kaiba demanded, "Just what the hell is going on? Why are you even here?"

"Honestly, I don't even know. That's why I'm here: to find out just what is going on." Yami sighed before continuing, "I was hoping that I if I could actually catch one of those monsters I could find out why it's appearing here and maybe who's sending it but…chances are it's long gone."

Kaiba didn't feel the least bit satisfied with that answer. He didn't think Yami was here to play detective but he decided to let it go for now. He was going to have his answers soon enough. Right now…it was time for some damage control. "I didn't intend to hit you with my car….If you want I'll have my personal doctor check you."

Yami couldn't help but chuckle at that; it was as close as an apology he was going to get from Kaiba even though it was him who was knocked into his car. "Thanks but no. I'm going to try to track that thing or at least make sure there aren't any others are around." Truth was: he knew if he went with him he would be bombarded with questions. It wasn't what he needed right now especially since this was supposed to be done in secrecy….Well, that's long gone.

"In your condition? Yeah, right. Seeing as how you fared with the one that got away, if there were more you'd be too weak to handle them. Even you're smart enough to figure that out or did the afterlife reduce you into stupidity?"

That did it. Yami glared at him before grudgingly surrendering, knowing full well that Kaiba was right so rather than be stubborn about it he complied. "Alright, I'll take your offer."

A/N: haha, I hope this has got you curious. XD

The next chapter may take a little longer since it's more informative...oh, and there's someone else who's back. Betcha can't guess, haha!
