"Hey I'm home!" Yugi called out to his grandpa as he entered the small game shop.

"Welcome back, Yugi." He called back as we came downstairs, "Great news. A young man came by this morning. He wants to rent the room for his brother and himself."

"Don't you think they'll be a bit cramped?" Yugi asked.

"Time will tell." He said as he began to stock new collectables, "How was school today?"

"Some old. Except there was a fight in home room."

"Oh between who?"

"Katsuya Jonouchi and Ryou Bakura. It was weird Jonouchi and Bakura were talking about something and then the fight broke out. It was actually over pretty quick. If was there I'm sure they would have both been expelled."

"She was probably too busy beating her mug. She wears too much make up." Sugoroku said.

"When are the brothers moving in?" Yugi asked as he moved behind the counter.

"I'm sure one day this week."

Yugi smiled as his Grandpa before heading up the stairs, "I'm going upstairs to study."

Once in his room the Puzzle around his next glowed brightly as a ghostly doppelganger appeared beside him, "Yugi, that fight was deliberate. Bakura is trying to get as many key players on his side as possible."

"Key players? I don't understand."

"He's uses his the power of the Millennium Ring to put a piece of his soul into people he wants as his pawns. There's no doubt that's what he did to Jonouchi."

"By why Jonouchi? He's pretty much harmless." Yugi asked he ghostly other half.

"He has the closest connection with Seto."

"Seto?"

"He was…is a part of my ancient past. We need to make a connection with him before Bakura gets the chance to corrupt this future farther."

"This future? This doesn't make any sense."

"It's hard to explain but he's managed to re-enter the past and alter it in a way that changed everyone. You, Honda, Jonouchi, and Anzu were supposed to become the best of friends. You all helped me recover my memories and even return to the after-life."

"What about Seto? Were we friends?" Yugi asked trying to figure everything out with the pieces of information he had.

"Not exactly." Yami told the boy, "He was the CEO of Kaiba Corporation."

"The warfare company! We got involved with someone that makes weapons for war?"

"When Seto took over he changed it into gaming company. The biggest in the world in fact."

"Oh wow, that's unbelievable."

"But from the looks of things the rip in time has made that only a dream."

"What should we do?"

"We need to find Seto. As soon as possible. While he's alone." Yami told him as he disappeared into the puzzle having taken over Yugi's body, "I'll take it from here."

Seto POV

"Put me down!" I shouted at Katsuya over and over again. He ignored me the entire trip back to his family's home.

He carried me straight into his room and slammed the door, he'd locked Mokuba outside. He slammed me down on to his bed. I tried to get up but he pinned me down. What was going on?

"You fucked him?" he shouted only inches away from my face.

"What?"

"Your boss! Is that why he came to your apartment while I was there? And attacked you the next day? What was in it for you?" he asked. His eyes had a crazed look in them. He stared at me willing me to answer.

"Katsuya, I-"

"Please tell me you didn't whore yourself out."

His words cut deep. I couldn't answer. My blood began to boil.

"You did. Didn't you. I hope it was worth it." Katsuya grabbed a fist full of my hair and began to slap me full force across the face. Not once letting up.

He plopped down on his bed beside me. His face resting in his hands. I just sat up slowly. I could feel my face redden from the assault, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked as he stood and he went over to his dresser leaning against it, "How much?" He turned to me as he opened his wallet, "How much can 30,000 get me?" He tossed the money at me; the notes went flying all over the room.

"I'm pretty sure I just got you fired." He said as he pushed me back down, "You can bring your clients here, from now on, if you want. As long as I can be your first one of the day."

"Katsuya, what's wrong with you?" I asked softly. I had to force myself to remain calm. My brother was outside I didn't want him to find out any more than what he already now knew.

Katsuya leaned over me and let out a long sigh, "You're not going to explain why you fucked your boss?"

"I hadn't planned on it. I'm not proud of myself."

"I doubt any whore is a proud one." He was staring at me waiting for me to answer. I thought about my words carefully.

"I was short on rent. He offered to pay in exchange for sex. He then offered to pay Mokuba's tuition in full, if it could be a regular thing. I agreed. I regret my decision alright."

"How many times?"

"Just the one time."

Katsuya crushed his lips against mine biting my lips in the process. I turned my head breaking the kiss.

"Katsuya!" I snapped pushing him off, "What's wrong with you?"

"I can't lose Seto." His voice wasn't his own.

I attempted to push him off but he held me down by my neck, as though he was going to break it, "Katsuya let go!" I demanded. Katsuya didn't even answer me he kept his grip tight on my neck. I began to feel uneasy as I crawled at his hands, "What's wrong with you! Stop! Jonouchi I said stop!"

He hit me again.

"Fuck you!" I snapped and kneed him directly in his groin, as many times as I could. Katsuya gasped and fell to the floor.

He was in intense pain and looked confused as though he had no clue why he was kicked. I didn't wait a moment before rushing out of the room to grab my brother. In the main room it was filled with people. All clothed in dark cloaks, one of them had my brother.

I heard the front door open and the same man from the other night walked in. As he made our way over his insane smile only got wider, "Well, look who I found." He said as he approached me, "I find it quite humorous that such a small change to one's past can affect their future so much." He chuckled to himself, "its funny seeing you live a life of servitude. Rather than be the big shot you were meant to be."

"Who are you?" Mokuba shouted. I could hear the fear in his voice.

The man ignored my brother's question as he moved over to one of the people in those cloaks, "I suppose you still don't remember anything?" He laughed, "Of course you don't. You chose to forget." But you're a smart one. As the years went on and one you began to remember everything bit by bit. It drove you absolutely mad."

"Who are you?"

"How rude of me. My name is Bakura."

"Okay, Bakura. What do you want?"

"The world. But I'll settle on having you. For now" He said has a few of the faceless men rushed past me as they went into Katsuya's room and dragging him out.

Bakura moved closer to me, "After you." He said as he gestured towards the now vacant bedroom. I didn't move. I wouldn't allow this man to scare me into submission, "Being difficult? That's the Seto I remember." He looked back at my brother, "Slit his throat."

In a blink of an eye a gold dagger was at my brother's throat, by there was hesitation from the wielder, "Wait." My heart was pounding so fast, "Let my brother go first."

"I'll give him a five second head start."

The men released my brother, "Run Mokuba." I told him.

Mokuba looked hesitate but he listened and ran as fast as he could out the apartment. He left the door open; I could hear him running down the stairs. Bakura turned and gestured towards the front door, "Go ahead kill him."

"Don't you dare touch him!" I snapped. I charged at the men that moved towards the door but the others grabbed me as they held me back.

Bakura laughed as he walked passed. He had a piece of paper in his hand and held it to the one that had the knife to my brother's throat, "As promised the location of you brother and sister. Make haste. They're place of imprisonment floods this time of year."

The people took the paper quickly as he alone left the room. I'd managed to catch a quick glance of his face and noticed his light purple eyes.

"You three. Secure him to the bed. Don't be fooled he's a fighter." He said.

I didn't disappoint I fought them all the way. I wasn't going to make things easy for them. But three against one is far from a fair fight. They tied my arms over my head and my legs to each of the bed's footboard, "Very good. Now wait outside. You'll get your turn. When I've had my fill."
