Thanks to the reviewers, I gladly appriciate it! No, the being isn't Gozaburo, it's something completely different which I have yet to figure out. Anyway, to the disclaimer!

Voices are but spoken words. They can't hurt you…can they?

The ghostly figure turned and spoke to them from the top of the large, wood staircase in the middle of the room.

"There will be a terrible accident if you don't turn away, now!" The translucent figure spoke before it blew away with the wind.

To say that the gang was scared would be an understatement. Mokuba was clutching onto his brothers' hand, as if holding on to it for dear life. He didn't understand what was going on, he was too young to. But then again, everyone here was in his or her teens, and Mokuba doubted whether any of them understood it.

"Hey, uh guys, I don't think that ghost wants to hurt us," Yugi stated still staring at the spot where the ghost stood. "I think it was warning us."

"Y'know, Yug, your probably right, and since we have no where to go…what do we do?" Joey asked, walking towards the stairs and examining them.

"Joey, that's probably not a good idea." Tristan said, advancing towards Joey.

"Tristan's right, come on, move away, what if the ghost comes back?" Tea asked, scared out of her wits.

Joey started to step onto the first step, assuming it was safe. "Stop yer' worryin'! I'll be fine." He said as he advanced up the stairs.

"Joey, the steps won't hold you! They'll barely hold me!" Mokuba said walking up to Yugi and Tea.

Seto, who had remained quiet during the duration of the conversation, closed his eyes. He knew that, that supposed ghost didn't have the same voice as the one calling him in his mind. This one seemed slightly friendlier. The other one, though, seemed pure evil. Taunting him as if testing his courage or curiosity. Why, though? What was this manor before it became unowned? These questions Seto needed answering. As he was contemplating the series of events, which just took hold, he heard a crack. He snapped his eyes open as he saw the wooden step, atop the stairs give in, and send Wheeler through the stairs. Everyone rushed over to help him because he was trapped under the rubble. When one stair gave in, the rest just collapsed on itself. Seto walked over to join his brother, who was standing near the rubble.

Tristan dug under the rubble, trying to find his idiotic friend, whom he had just warned not to climb the stairs. As he searched, he heard a muffled voice, which sounded like 'Over here!' He headed in that direction immediately and helped his friend up.

"Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, Wheeler." Seto said coldly.

"Shut it, Rich Boy!" Joey said as he stood up and brushed himself off. "Well, now we can't go upstairs."

"What a loss." Seto muttered sarcastically under his breathe.

"Seto, did you hear that?" Mokuba asked, looking up to his brother.

"Hear what, Mokuba?" Seto asked, slightly confused, as Yugi and the gang talked about something of no importance to him whatsoever.

"Hear that cracking noise."

"What cracking noise?"

"There was a cracking noise, Seto."

"It was probably just the remainder of the stairs, buckling under pressure. Nothing to worry about." Then, Seto thought, yet. We should leave… He thought, beginning to head towards the door.

'…Seto…'

He stopped dead in his tracks. That voice… he thought as he closed his eyes. He needed to get away from this place, and fast. It was doing something to him, or rather, wanting him to do something. But he didn't know what. The light-headedness overwhelmed him, forcing him to keep his eyes closed. The paranormal voices kept persistent…

'…Ssetoo…'

The voice kept calling out to him, beckoning for him to trudge further into the unknown manor…

'…Ssssetooo…'

He must admit, the temptation to investigate the manor was hard to resist…

'…Sssseeetttoooo…'

Seto knelt, holding his head in his hand…

'…Ssssssetooo…'

He shouldn't go in any further. He couldn't leave Mokuba. The thing that's after him could be after Mokuba as well…

'…Sssseeetttooo…'

Why was the voice after him? Why not Yugi…

'…Ssssseeetttooooo…'

It normally is. What did he do…

'…Sssseetttooo…'

"SETO!" Mokuba shouted, shaking his brothers' shoulder and snapping him out of his trance like state.

Seto felt dazed, even though Mokuba had forced him to open his eyes. Maybe, that was the problem; he was closing his eyes when he heard the voice. It was the light-headedness that took over forced him to close his eyes. Trying to force the voice out didn't help. I need to… Seto glanced at the door in which Joey had broken in order to get in here. It had fixed itself, and Yugi and the gang were staring at it, as if it were contaminated. What happened? He asked himself. Then he glanced over at the windows. They weren't boarded up when they came in, were they? He looked at Joey and Tristan trying to force their way out, but the door wouldn't budge. They tried everything until eventually they gave up and plonked themselves down on one of the sofas which had a white sheet covering it, obviously exhausted.

"Seto, that's the second time today. What's going on?" Mokuba inquired. I hope he's okay… he thought worriedly.

"I'm fine, Mokuba." Seto stated simply, Third, actually, but you don't need to know that.

(Yugi, a few minutes ago, could you feel something calling out to Kaiba?) Yami asked.

((No, why? Is there something wrong?)) Yugi asked, glancing over at Kaiba who looked oddly pale.

(I'm not sure. We need to stick together if were going to get through this, okay? No matter what Kaiba says.)

((Right))

"You know, I really don't believe you! You look pale, there is something wrong!" Mokuba said frantically while everyone else was off in la-la land.

"Mokuba, it's nothing."

"Hmmm," Mokuba said Nothing? Nothing?!? Tch, yeah sure it's nothing, Seto. Mokuba thought as he and Seto sat down on a sofa.

"…heh…" Said a voice Seto recognised as the voice that called out to him

"…heh…heh…"

"Show yourself, coward!" Seto yelled into thin space. He knew the being could hear him. Damn him! He should've just kept it between me, and him. If he harms a single hair on my little brothers' head, all hell will pay!!

"…All in due time, Seto… we gave…most of you a warning to leave, but you didn't…"

"We should've left while we had the chance." Tea said helplessly.

"…right you are, girl. There may be a few…accidents if you don't figure out how to get out of here. Chances are you won't leave in one piece!! Most of you, anyway."

"Most??" Asked Joey, scared.

"…heh, that's right most! If you want to know who, ask around…"

"Ask around?!? What do you think he meant by that?" Asked Joey

"Well, Joey, basically it just means we should ask everyone if anything strange happened to anyone. If we find anything unusual, well, that's all I've figured out so far." Yugi explained.

(I'll take over, Yugi) Yami said, before he took over.

The Kaiba brothers' looked at each other. Although the only thing that happened to Mokuba was the incident with the chauffer, Seto had that freak show whispering in his ear every now and then. Great, he didn't need the Geek Show pitying him. He sighed and turned back to the gang. Who all looked at him, even Mokuba was.

"What!?!" Seto asked, coldly even for him.

"What's da deal wit you?" Joey asked suspiciously.

"…That's none of your business, Wheeler." Seto said after he hesitated for a moment

"Yeah well I'm makin' it my business."

"And I'm not willing to tell you." Seto replied before standing up and leaving.

"Get back here, Rich Boy!" Joey said, running after him and grabbing him by his lapels. (collar). "Just tell us!"

Seto stared at him for a moment, giving him the cold glare that he was noted for. He grabbed Joey's wrist, tightly, enough to make Joey wince and Joey bought his other hand up, trying to release himself from Seto's painful grip. Seto then said. "You remember last time you did this don't you?" Then quietly he continued "Be thankful my brother's here, or you would be in deep shit!" Then, Seto tossed him aside, causing him to almost loose his balance. Seto continued on, though. He knew he shouldn't, but he had to find out where the idiot that was calling him was.

"HEY!!! Get back here!! Coward!!!" Joey said. This really ticked Seto off. He stopped and turned back, an ice look on his face.

"Bad idea." Mokuba said quietly, he knew Joey was going to get it. But because this was Joey, Mokuba didn't know how angry his brother was. But judging by the severe look on Seto's face, Mokuba could tell that his brother was angrier than he had ever seen.

"Yes, yes it is." Tristan said, fearful.

"Look who's talking!" Seto said in an icy, monotone voice.

"Oops…" Joey said fearfully as a livid Seto advanced towards him.

"Oops is an understatement, Wheeler! You'd better start running, because I'm not in a good mood." Seto said with an extreme look on his face. "You'd better watch out now, Wheeler, because my patience is completely gone."

Joey began to back up, until he backed into a wall. He didn't know what was coming to him.

XXX

Second chappie done! Boy, do I feel sorry for Joey at the moment, there maybe something controlling Seto, though. Sorry if it wasn't as creepy as the last one. Bye!!
