"If you hurt my brother I…" the CEO started through gritted teeth.
"I intend on giving you both power to rule the world all three of us. Together. All you have to do is seize her spirit and our new lives will begin!" he said with eyes glistening with fanaticism.
Seto felt Kisara struggling to get away from him and looked at her aghast. The locked eyes for a moment. Her expression gave out fear and guilt. She then looked at Mokuba pressing her lips together. She felt the brown-haired man reluctantly letting her go. He was breathing heavily.
'Why can't I do it? Why now, that I need it the most?'. Kisara had been trying in vain to gather up her powers so that she could evoce her spirit, her Ka. 'I should've listened to Ishizu.' The white-haired girl thought almost in tears.
She observed Seto. He seemed lost. His gaze was set on the ground. She wondered if there was aything she could do for the two brothers, or…
"Seto…" her voice barely above a whisper. He didn't turn to face her.
"You remember what to do now, don't you son?" the dark man said.
"Akhnadin…" Seto growled. He suddenly turned to Kisara, aiming the rod at her. "That's it, Seto. Do it." Akhnadin commanded.
Seto clenched his teeth, his hand trembling. He tried not to look at her, but his eyes seemed to be fixed to hers.
A deafening screech coming from above broke the tension. Kisara's first thought was that it was her Ka summoned and coming to protect them but as soon as she saw the creature landing in front of them she was left open-mouthed. She never imagined that such things ever existed.
It was a black dragon. A black dragon with red eyes.
"What's that? Whose is it?" Akhnadin yelled extending his right arm where he was wearing a golden what it seemed like a bracelet and said something in Ancient Egyptian. After that a monster appeared, obviously evoced by Akhnadin. The two monsters started battling, exchancing firebolts. Kisara was left wondering if she could ever fight a battle against such things.
Everything was happening so quickly that she hadn't come to realise that she had accepted what both she and Seto used to call fairy tales. She started taking everything she saw for granted, as though she had known about these things for all her life. Or hadn't she?
Soon more monsters followed whose origin the girl couldn't surmise. Surprisingly enough, Akhnadin's creature was destroyed, and the moment that happened he and his follower vanished.
Kisara was relieved to see that Mokuba was free. She run to the kid and hugged each other. "Are you ok Mokie?"
"I'm fine Sara bu.." the kid made a move to leave.
"They did't hurt you, did they?"
"No, no. Seto. What's wrong with my brother? Is he alright?"
Only then Kisara noticed that Seto was kneeling and supporting himself on his hands. He seemed to be in a really awful state. He must have been breathing with difficulty and probably had a problem in holding himself up.
Both the girl and the boy run to Seto, trying to bring him around.
"Are you ok big brother?"
"Seto, what's wrong?"
Suddenly a hand pulled away the millenium rod, which Seto had been clutching on.
"That dragon, was it your Ka?"
"No, no. It was the Ka of another person that was sealed in a stone. But we've come to learn to evoce the spirits in the stones. It takes hard work however to be able to do this."
"You think that this rod caused something to Seto Kaiba?"
"I don't think it's something to worry about. The energy that flows in the millenium items causes visions in the worst case. It just came to much for him. As soon as I disconnected him with the rod it subsided. He must be alright by now."
"I honestly don't know what were you thinking!"
"Calm down Ishizu. We've been through this a million times."
"It just makes me furius, Daniel. They go on and about how ridiculous we're being when we're actually trying to help them!"
"I'm sorry Ishizu."
"Thank gods that Daniel was there. But there won't always be someone there to save you. You have to learn to control your power."
"I will."
"At least now they both know that what we've told them it's the truth. The question is what are you going to do now Sara… I mean Kisara."
"I…"
"Talk about it with Kaiba. Hasn't he contacted you yet?"
"No, Ishizu."
"I thought he would."
'So did I.' Thought Kisara.

Author's note: Thanks for the reviews. I am continuing this story to its end. I think I'll post shorter chapters in order to post more often. If you're wondering about the lack of narrative parts in the second part it was done intentionally.
Thanks for reading. Reviews are always welcome and keeping me going ;-)
