(Kisara's POV)

Kisara... Kisara...

A deep voice penetrated my ears as a strong hand shook me from unconsciousness. As reality began to return to me, I lazily blinked my eyes open. My arms were stiff so it was difficult to push myself into a sitting position. The ground below me was hard and rocky and the walls looked the same. I looked up at the roof of the cavern and I saw some strange green crystals. They looked as if they were glowing, giving the cavern a dim light source. I looked and I saw that the tunnel stretched in both directions.

"Good, your awake," said the voice once again. It startled me at first, but when I looked behind me, I saw the source.

"Seto, where are we?" I asked shakily.

"I know as much as you," he replied with a sigh.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked.

He pointed over to my right and said, "Over there." I followed his finger and I saw the others all spread out over the floor of the cave.

"We should wake them up," I said as I stood to my feet. Seto looked as if he was about to say otherwise, but he kept his mouth shut.

"Fine," he replied as he stood to feet as well. He woke Yugi and Tristan while I woke Joey and Tea.

"Huh, what's goin' on?" mumbled Joey as he blinked his eyes open. He pushed himself up into a sitting position and rubbed his head. He started to freak out when he noticed our surroundings. "Where are we!"

"Calm down Joey," I said. I put my hands on his shoulders and shook lightly. He blinked his eyes once again and then he started to take my advice.

"Sorry about that," he said.

"That's alright, were all pretty freaked out," I replied.

"So what is this place?" asked Joey.

"How should we know?" said Tristan.

"Well you don't have to so rude," grumbled Joey.

"And you don't have to be such an idiot," Tristan snapped back at him.

"Guys," yelled Tea, "Fighting won't help anyone."

"She's right," I said. "We need to find out where we are and how to get out."

"Well we better start walking," said Joey as he ventured deeper into the caves.

"Shouldn't we make a plan?" asked Tea.

"We don't really have anything to go on, so I say we just wing it," said Joey.

"For once I agree," said Tristan. Joey was about was yell something back at him, but he saw Tea glaring at him so he decided not to.

"Whatever," grumbled Joey. "Let's just go." He continued in the direction that he was going in before and everyone followed. I was kind of surprised that Seto hadn't objected to Joey's plan, he just followed without an argument.

We walked for what felt hours. The tunnel looked the same no matter how far we went. It felt like we were going in a circle the whole time. I could tell that the others were getting frustrated as well. Joey was angrily kicking rocks while Seto had a deep scowl on his face.

"This is getting us nowhere," sighed Tea.

"This is what we get for following Wheeler," mumbled Seto. Thankfully, no one else heard him and the comment went ignored.

"Wait I think I see something ahead!" exclaimed Joey.

"I see it to," said Yugi. I looked forward and I saw a bright light that was no that far from where we were. We all started running towards it and it got brighter as we neared it. When we finally made it to the bright spot, we all stopped short.

"Damn it!" Joey yelled loudly. His voice echoed off the walls and down each fork in the tunnel. The light that we saw before was just a tight group of crystals on the ceiling.

"Quit yelling Wheeler, you might bring the whole cave down us," said Seto.

"Don't tell me what to do," growled Joey as he spun around and faced a surprisingly calm Seto.

"And I thought dogs had a good sense of direction," chided Seto.

"No one asked you anything Rich-boy," yelled Joey.

"I don't need you permission to do anything Wheeler," said Seto nonchalantly.

"Just shut up Kaiba," growled Joey. I could see the veins on his brow starting to pop out.

"Oh nice comeback Wheeler," replied Seto sarcastically.

"I swear I'm gonna..." said Joey but I interrupted him before he could continue.

"Will you two stop," I screamed and my cheeks became stained by the tears that fell. They immediately stopped and stared at me. Both of their expressions softened and Joey said, "Kisara."

I was about to answer him, but all of a sudden the ground started to shake. I felt a heavy weight push me to the ground and a cloud of dust blown into the air. There was a great amount of dust and it made difficult to breathe. Even after the dust had settled, I was still coughing. Breathing was hard enough in this god-forsaken cave, but now I felt like I was being suffocated. My vision was swimming but I cold still see that, somehow, I was alone.

"Hello... is anyone there," I coughed out. When there was no response, I let my head drop back down on the ground.

"Someone... help," I coughed as my vision turned black and the world faded around me.


(Seto's POV)

"Kisara! Kisara!" I yelled. She was right in front of me and now she was gone along with the geek squad. I was knocked off of my feet by something and when I got up, I was alone. If I had to guess, somehow the cave had reconfigured itself. I don't know how it happened, but it was successful in separating us.

"Where are you!" I yelled I ran down the tunnel and I didn't stop. I couldn't stop until I found Kisara. As we were walking, Kisara looked as if she were having trouble breathing. The cave must be making it hard for her to breathe and if I don't find her soon, it might too late.

"Kisara!" I screamed once again. I was starting to get anxious and my worry for Kisara out shined anything else. My pace quickened and I raced down the different tunnels. If the road forked, I wouldn't stop to think, I would just act. Every so often my eyes would play tricks on me, or more it was like the cave was. Some of the rocks that I saw would glow white under the dim light of the crystals.

"Damn it all!" I yelled as I found another of the cursed white rocks. My voice echoed around me and my anger was rising with the second. I was tempted to punch the wall to release my anger, but that would have caused more harm to me, so I kicked to glowing rock instead. It skipped down the tunnel and the noise of it hitting the ground bounced off the wall. I watched it go and I t landed to another of the glowing rocks. Wait, no it was moving so it couldn't be a rock...

"Kisara," I gasped. My legs moved on their own as I dashed over the where she was. I fell to my knees when I reached her and I moved some of the stray strands of white out of her face. She was worse then I had originally thought. Her entire body was shaking and her breaths were shallow and weak. Her was evident in the way that she scrunching her eyes.

"You have to hang on," I whispered quietly. I lifted her up into my arms so that her forehead was leaning against my neck. This made it easier for me to hear her breathing patterns. I felt her heart beating rapidly and her body was shaking violently.

"I will get you out of here, I promise." I started walking at a steady pace deeper into the cavern. The winding tunnels were very confusing and it felt like I was going in circles. All the while, Kisara's breathing had become shallower and they sounded more like gasps. She was shaking less, but that was probably because she was starting to run out of strength.

"I have to hurry," I growled to myself. "Time is running out." I quickened my pace and soon I was racing down the tunnels once again. I was in such a rush that I didn't notice Kisara's breathing.

"What's going on," I mumbled as I came to a stop. Kisara was no longer shaking and her heartbeat was starting to slow. At first this made me worry, but then I noticed that her breathing sounded much easier and deeper. She seemed like she was perfectly fine, like nothing had ever happened.

"I must be near the surface," I mumbled. I looked around and I saw that the cavern split into five different tunnels. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going so I had no idea which tunnel I had come through. I cursed under my breath and began to investigate each tunnel. They all looked the same, but one was just slightly different. The farthest part that I could see was slightly brighter then the rest. A normal eye wouldn't have caught it, but after years of careful observations, I was able to spot it.

'It better not be another cluster of crystals,' I thought angrily, remembering the last time that we saw a light like that. I made my way down the tunnel while keeping an eye on Kisara. If she started gasping for air again, then I know that I've made the wrong choice. The tunnel was longer then I had thought but I wouldn't turn back until I reached the bright light. I came closer and closer until the bright light blinded me.

"What is this place?" I gasped when I stared wide-eyed at the scenery before me. It looked like I was on the surface, but the giant green crystals on the ceiling told me otherwise. On one side of the gigantic cavern was a small, bare, stony field covered mostly by moss. The other side was a large forest that looked like any normal one on the surface, lush green grass and leafy trees. The change between stone and grass was almost instant and it didn't look natural at all. The forest took up most of the cavern and the rest of it was the mossy field. The trees, which to me looked like they were oak trees, almost reached the top of the cavern, but they were just a few inches short. The walls looked as if they had been smoothed and shined. By looking at the ceiling, the cavern seemed to be shaped like a hexagon. The different corners on the walls looked like they were sculpted perfectly and the other wall that wasn't blocked by the forest had a tunnel. The cave was not as dim as the tunnels because of the giant cluster of white crystals in the middle of the roof. They illuminated the cavern in a weak artificial sunlight.

After analyzing it carefully, I stepped into the odd cavern and followed the wall. Going into or near the forest wouldn't be the best idea since I have no clue what's in there. The moss was soft and springy under my step and it was the perfect place to set Kisara down. I set her down near one of the corners in the cave and I sat down next to her.

From where I sat, I could see another of the walls, but this one was different then the ones that I've seen. This one didn't have a tunnel mouth, but it was some sort of door. It was hard to tell what was on it because I was seated to far away from it. I didn't want to leave Kisara so I have to wait until she wake before I can get a closer look. I didn't see it before because the forest curved in front of it and I could only see part of the door from where I sat.

I looked down at Kisara and I saw that she was still breathing properly. The plant life must be circulating the air and making it easier for her to breathe. Fresh air has to be coming in from somewhere, but it's a mystery to me as to where. The surface can't be to far above us if there's air getting in here.

Another thing that I don't understand is how the plants got here in the first place. The cave is strangely silent so I don't think that there are any animals in the forest, but I can't be sure. This cavern seems too peaceful for my liking. The serene look of the forest gives one a false sense of security, but I won't fall for it. I have a strong foreboding sense that something is not right with this cave. I don't know what it is, but I won't do anything that would put Kisara in danger. I'll just have to wait until she wakes before anything can be done.


Man that was tough to write. Sorry if the part describing the cave was a little confusing but that's the only way I could describe it. I really didn't know how else to put it so this is what you got. I hope you liked it!
