Testosterone and explanation...

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, Mokuba would not be at crotch level to his older brother.

KaliAnn: "I almost feel bad for him."

SetoKaiabfan12338: "Lol, perverted Seto. Breakfast was amusing to write."

mario123: "I do not, but I may look for someone. I sadly, cannot draw."

The Duelist's Heiress: "More evil cliffy's to come…hehe."

Mamoru4ever: "Thank-you for realizing that it's not out of character for any teenage male to be sexually attracted to a girl. Too bad it's basically another cliffy…"

pretzelboy: "It wasn't purposely perverted. He wanted to know why she came to his room and when he turned on the link, her stretching was what he got. And it would be pretty hard not to get dirty thoughts seeing a girl stretch in weird contorted positions. "

Angealroth: "Laughing breaks, lol. And sadly, more cliffy."

Elias: "Thank-you."

Kaiba was for once at a loss of what to do. She wasn't moving. Cautiously he reached for her wrist to feel for a pulse. There was none.

His eyes bugged out, as he felt his thought process escape him. No, you told me to do this to her. Why would you tell me to do something to her that would kill her? I will hunt you down you damn hologram voice!

When Mokuba ran into the store, shock took over his normally excited features as he took in the sight of his friends. They were covered in bruises and cuts. Yugi even sported a busted lip.

"What happened?" the boy asked.

The gang was sitting in Yugi's living room playing a new videogame. They had all deduced that Kaiba hadn't told his little brother about their part in this media mess or about Kisara's revenge.

Yugi decided to broach the subject. It was what the sneaky younger Kaiba had been waiting for. "Say, Mokuba what do you know about the new rumor your brother's involved with?"

"I know it started at his school. Nii-sama avoided all my questions though…" he said sadly, turning the pout on.

"Well, Mokuba we got some news for ya,'" Jounouchi said before Yugi gave him a rundown of what happened.

Mokuba paused and thought of all the things he had went through. From Pegasus and his creepy eye to all the weirdness of Battle City and then the ordeal with Dartz…he knew what his brother thought about this magic hocus-pocus bullshit but he also knew when said genius was in denial. Too much had transpired to make him think Yugi and his friends were just making all this stuff up.

Ni-sama like being in control and magic takes that away from him. So even with all that we've seen, he will not acknowledge it…but maybe with the Blue-Eyes here he will...

"I knew there was a reason Kisara seemed so familiar!" the boy said excitedly.

"You're not mad?"

The younger boy sighed. "A little bit, yes. That rumor has caused a lot of problems for nii-sama so I wish you told me first so that we could have confronted this together. You know how Nii-sama feels about magic; he's not going to just accept it but with a bit of prodding things would have gone smoother. And then he's not really good with feelings so rushing things was really mean. But I know Nii-sama would have ignored her for as long as possible so I can understand why you guys tried to sped things along. Plus i know you didn't mean for it to spiral out of control into dragon fetish like it did. But I am sorry she beat you guys up," he said, resolving to speak with her. She just didn't know that they had meant well. And shame on Nii-sama telling her Yugi's a crazy cultist…

"Well we're sorry little buddy, but is all cool now right?" Honda asked.

"Yeah," the boy smiled.

"You just said she seemed familiar. Have you met her?" Anzu asked.

"No, but I saw her picture and it felt like I've met her before," he lied, causally. Nii-sama doesn't want anyone to know she's with us…I'll see what else I can learn before I say anything.

The group then told Mokuba all about why it was important for them to know what was going on. "If any magicy, Egypt stuff happens, ya gottta tell us. Last time things got crazy and we all know your bother will try and fight alone. It's not safe man," explained Jounouchi.

"We stand a better chance against whatever evil creature appears together than alone. So please help us stay informed," pleaded Yugi.

The boy nodded, in an effort to placate his friends. Yugi and the guys were great, but they were no nii-sama. He resolved to only tell them what he deemed necessary because he knew how much he brother valued his privacy. I didn't think about a new evil resurfacing. But it is a strong possibility with the reincarnated Blue-Eyes meeting my brother. But nii-sama is strong. He doesn't really need their help...

Kaiba was in a state of panic. He gingerly lifted her out of the water and positioned her on the ground beside him. She had no pulse but something kept telling him she wasn't dead yet. Carefully he placed his hand over her left breast and found a small heartbeat, releasing the breath he wasn't aware he was holding.

But what was he going to do now? And why did she pass out?

"Her Ba and Ka have to fuse together. She is simply drained. Let her rest and she will be fine." The spirit said, materializing beside him.

Kaiba jumped and grabbed his chest, surprise overtaking his face. "YOU!" he shouted in shock.

His past self simply stared at him. "You're not real. "I'm just in shock…I'm imagining him."

In response, the priest glided over and poked him in the forehead. Kaiba felt it and shivered. This is not happening. He is not real. Duel Monsters is only a game.

"Whether or not you chose to believe it, I am as real as you are."

"Then where were you when I thought she was dead?" the man huffed after masking his shock at his other self's appearance.

When the priest would not answer his query, he sighed, "I am going crazy. Making girls pass out in pools, believing it will help her and then talking to a 3000 year old hologram…I should have never ripped that card. It's caused me to go off the deep end."

The priests shook his head. "You had to rip the card. When Kisara died in ancient Egypt, she stayed behind in her Ka form to protect me, severing her Ba and Ka. Present day Kisara's energies had to be separated as well so that when they rejoined, my Kisara could be fixed as well, which is the only way you Kisara can access her true power.

"And why would she need that? In case you haven't noticed, there are no monsters around," the man sarcastically said, gesturing to the empty room.

"Not yet," he said sadly, fading away.

"You get back here! What do you mean 'not yet?'" he shouted, but his past life self had already disappeared.

With the help of Roland, he snuck Kisara out of the building and into his limo. He carried her while Roland kept a lookout for anyone, shouting at whoever they came across to leave immediately.

And I still have to go get Mokuba…he thought rubbing his forehead. Kisara laid strewn about, her head in his lap and her legs dangling over the seat because of her stature. Without thinking he ran his hand along the side of her face, brushing a stray hair back in place. But when he realized what he done, as if the action had burned him, he quickly withdrew his hand.

To distract himself, Kaiba pulled out the repaired card. He didn't want to return it, but a promise was a promise.

"Sir, we have arrived at Kame Game shop."

"Thank-you Roland," he replied, slipping out of the limo and laying Kisara down gently. Calmly he walked to the door, the small jingle of bells indicating his entrance.

"Good day, how can I help you?" Mr. Muto beamed. "Oh Kaiba, how are you today?"

With purposeful stride, the boy approached the counter. "Here, it's fixed. I have also come for Mokuba; it's almost dinner time," the boy said, reluctantly handing the card over.

The old man's eyes widened at the sight of the now whole card. But he had already made his decision. "You keep it."

Kaiba froze. Is he serious? This card is incredibly valuable. You don't simply give away a Blue-eyes White Dragon!

"It's attached to that girl's soul. I think it should belong to its rightful owner," the old man patiently explained, his purple eyes shining brightly.

Kaiba nodded gratefully. "Thank-you," he replied, respectfully.

"But I would like to ask that you tell that girl to stop attacking my grandson and his friends. They took a real beating from her," he admonished.

"Like I can control that woman…" the CEO muttered.

Jolly laughter assaulted the boy's ears. "What man can! Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!"

From his spot in the living room, Yugi heard his grandfather's familiar guff. "Hang on guys, I'll be right back," he said, pausing their videogame. When he went downstairs he saw Kaiba and grandfather talking.

"Kaiba-kun?" he asked.

"I am here for Mokuba. It's about to be dinner time," Kaiba said stiffly.

"I'll go get him. Be right back boys," Mr. Muto said, leaving the two to chat.

"Kaiba I am sorry for the trouble I caused you and Kisara," Yugi apologized, looking repentant.

"Your apology means nothing to me Yugi. I will be leaving as soon as Mokuba is ready."

By then, the others had come down, after learning form Mr. Muto that the elder Kaiba was here.

"Shut-up! If you had just talked to her, Yugi wouldn't have had to do that!" shouted Jounouchi.

"It's none of Yugi's business who I talk to," the tall man hissed.

"But Seto, she's the Blue-Eyes. What is a new evil is lurking about?" Mokuba said, appearing next to his friends.

Of course they'd get Mokuba in on this. Dammit! "And now you fill my little brother's head with ridiculous lies. Thank-you Yugi."

"You know it's true. She is your dragon, fetish boy," the blonde replied, getting his stance ready to fight after teasing his rival.

Kaiba faced his younger brother. "That fictitious story is ridiculous. Kisara is a person, not a monster."

"Could have fooled me," scoffed Jounouchi, his eyes moving to the angry purple bruises on his friends. Damn woman attacked us!

Cobalt blue eyes turned to angry slits. "What did you say?" he hissed.

"Ya heard me, rich boy."

"She kicked soccer balls at you. If you had half a brain, you might have thought to dodge," Kaiba taunted.

"You take that back," the shorter man shouted.

"Guys, you shouldn't fight," Yugi replied, trying to ameliorate the situation. This is bad. Kaiba got mad at Pegasus just for making his card turn into its toon version and Jounouchi just insulted the real deal.

"Yugi's right you guys. We may have bigger problems to face soon," Anzu reasoned.

"No one cares to listen to you, friendship freak. This is between me and the mutt," Kaiba snapped, not in the mood for one of her speeches.

"Anzu is not a freak!" Yugi shouted, angrily.

Oh boy, to be youthful and full of testosterone thought Grandpa.

Hotheaded as ever, Jounouchi charged, throwing a punch at Kaiba's head. The more agile man ducked and grabbed the other boy's arm, twisting it behind his back. "Try all you want mutt, you'll always be worthless."

"Let go of Jounouchi!" shouted Honda and Yugi, coming to aid their friend. Kaiba threw the blonde at his friends, using him a weapon to knock over his friends. The trio landed in a heap near the counter, groaning loudly. Anzu rushed over to help them up.

"Losers shouldn't pick fights. Mokuba we're leaving," the proud man ordered.

"But nii-sama, Yugi only wanted to apologize."

"Mokuba, we have dinner plans, remember?" the boy hinted, hoping his brother realized his hidden meaning. He doesn't know about her being passed out, but he knows she's with me.

"Yes, nii-sama," the boy replied dejectedly, glancing back at his friends sadly and mouthing 'I'll talk to him when he cools off.'

Kaiba ushered his little brother into the limo and quickly stepped in. Mokuba's eyes widened at the sight of the unconscious girl. What happened?

"She's just resting Mokuba. Today was stressful," Seto explained.

"She looks like a real goddess of light, nii-sama," he said. She must really be tired.

Kaiba nodded, the limo speeding off to their manor.

Kaiba carried the blue haired woman to her room and laid her down tenderly. Mokuba watched with a small smile. It was nice to see his bother being kind to someone he wasn't related to.

The brunette retrieved his laptop from his room and went downstairs where his brother had already ordered take-out.

Setting it up, he turned on the camera link, making up his mind to never use the camera link after she woke up. Originally he used it because he did not trust a stranger in his house, but after getting to know her, there was really little need for such measures. Kisara was no hardened criminal. Annoying and pushy yes, he thought recalling breakfast. But not a mastermind.

All day the sight of her stretching had gotten to him. God was she limber. He felt his mouth become dry. He purses his lips and pushed such thoughts out of his head.

He hadn't meant to watch necessarily; he was only curious as to why she would come to his room so early. But seeing her move like that did him no favors; in fact, he felt bad for abusing her trust and then perverted for the images his mind conjured. So no more camera after this…

Dinner was quiet until, "Nii-sama, Yugi told me all about what happened at school. I know you're mad at him but he meant well…" the boy trialed off.

"Mokuba, they should not have done that. Because of them, Kisara has been uprooted from her life. She, a damn sports junkie, left a game today because of all the heckling," the man practically growled out, unaware of his increasing protective streak towards the girl.

Violet eyes looked down at a pair of dirty sneakers. "They didn't mean for that to happen."

"Ignorance is no excuse."

"She hurt them…" the boy replied, sadness lacing his tone. Those bruises looked painful.

"They deserved it," Seto clipped.

"You told her they're crazy," said Mokuba, annoyed.

"Yes and knowing that, instead of pity, she still held scorn," he said almost proudly.

It got quiet once more.

"We still need to keep them informed on things. What if something is out there? We may need their help."

"If they were any real help, they wouldn't have been taken out singlehandedly by a girl and a soccer ball," he scoffed. Yugi and those geeks looked pretty beat up.

Mokuba sighed. He would have to speak with Kisara. Hopefully she wasn't as stubborn.

Beads of sweat rolled down Kisara's forehead. She was in pain. It feels like what happened two years ago but this time whatever was taken from me is back. It hurts, like it no longer fits.

She saw flashes of herself in a plain cloth dress, running. "Seto-sama," she called out, more images speeding through her mind. What the hell is this?

Her hands clenched underneath the sheets. On a chair next to her sat Kaiba, typing at his laptop and glancing back at her every so often. Why is she in pain? All you said she needed was rest.

The fever will soon pass. Her power simply increased more than I thought I would. To fill the void left by her Ka, her Ba grew. Her body now needs to adjust to this increase.

Kaiba said nothing, but wipe her forehead with a wet cloth. She shouldn't have to suffer.

No, but there is little we can do. She should awaken in a few hours but she will now know about her Egyptian past. Think of a way to mollify the situation. She will most likely be scared and upset.

The CEO sighed. An upset Kisara was going to be hell to deal with…

The plot thickens. I will probably be bored this weekend (my dad is working because it his job pays double on a holiday weekend) so I may update Monday. Please review!
