Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or any card names from the game. I did make up the names Orb and Staff and I do own the little creature in my head that tells me to do stuff! ^-^ Also, the explanation of the Shadow Realm and the cards is of my own version. Now my little friend in my head says on to the A/N.

A/N: Geez! I'm really starting to get annoyed with saying the disclaimer...hm. Oh! I have an evil idea. Muahahahahahahs! Ok I see that some people are ready to kill me for stopping where I did in the last chapter. Ha ha! You can complain but you can't hurt me. =P

"So where did you find him?"

"He just appeared out of thin air and landed in the water."

"He sure looks like he's been through a lot."

"It's his eyes I'm worried about. The rest will heal."

Voices again...why is it everytime I return to consiousness I hear voices. And just voices, no shapes or tastes or smells...wait! I do smell something. It smells strange, I think I smell clean air? With this new revolation, Seto was sure he had gone completely crazy. Since when did he start noticing the difference in air pollution!? Seto lifted his hand to his face and felt bandages around his eyes. So that's why he couldn't see!

"Oh! He moved!"

"Calm down, woman. Geez!"

Seto sustained a laugh. Well, one was male and one female, that was for sure. He struggled to find his voice. He wasn't as weak as he had been at first. How many days had passed since he last woke up? Or had that been a dream? "Where the hell and who the hell are you?" Seto heard one of them jump back. Probably from his sudden outburst. Seto pulled himself up and stubbornly got out of the bed he was in. He felt strong arms force him back on to the bed. Seto immediatly started to panick, "DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!"

What if the person was Gozubora! "NO, PLEASE DON'T!" Seto found himself shaking uncontrollably. Ok, you have to get a hold of yourself Seto.

Orb watched as the strange boy cowarded from him. This boy was different from any he had ever seen. He had sandy-brown hair and lightly tanned skin. He was also much taller then Orb. "NO, PLEASE DON'T!" The boy crawled to the other edge of the bed, clearly afraid of Orb and Staff. Staff looked at Orb with a glint of confusion in her eyes and Orb shrugged to show he didn't understand either. "Please don't be afraid, we're not trying to hurt you. It's just, your still not fully healed yet and it would be best if you remained in bed." The boy calmed down and looked towards Orb, "Who are you and where am I?"

Orb sighed, this wasn't going to be easy with a jumpy patient, "My name is Orb and the woman next to me is Staff. You're in a hospital in the Dark Mage Hall." Orb watched as the boy pondered over this. The boy then looked at Staff, "The Dark Mage Hall? What the hell are you talking about!? There is no such thing as a Dark Mage Hall in Tokyo!" Orb looked at Staff who shrugged. He guessed Staff didn't know what Tokyo was either. The boy stood up again and Orb made another attempt to push him back down. The boy resisted but didn't shout, he instead began to feel Orb's face in an effort to see him. Orb let him, not knowing what else to do.

"You're...you're...a...DARK MAGICIAN!! But that's not possible!" The boy jumped back in alarm. Orb felt a little puzzled by this, "Of course I am and Staff is a Female Dark Magician. You're...not from the Shadow Realm, are you." The boy seemed to waver for a moment, then retired to the bed. "No, I'm not. The Shadow Realm...tell me, what is the Shadow Realm? Some stranger said he was sending me ther...here, but I don't know where here is." Staff snuck out of the room leaving Orb to explain. Orb frowned, this boy must of come from the Pharoah's Realm. How was he going to explain his world to a human?

"It's sort of complicated...in your world, you have what you call Duel Monster Cards? Well, thousands of years ago, back in Ancient Egyptian times, sorcerers came to the Shadow Realm looking for allies. They met us monsters and some befriended us where others captured and controlled us. When they tried to bring us to their world, we couldn't go through the portal without being annihilated. The Egyptain Gods gave a gift to the humans, magical trinkets called millennium items and summoning cards. The summoning cards called certain monsters to come to their human master and the millennium items allowed us monsters to enter the human world, or as we call it the Pharoah's Realm, and not get destroyed on the way. That is why only those who possess millennium items may summon real monsters in a duel or shadow game.

Now a days, the shadow games have slowed to almost a stop and we haven't had contact with the other realm in years. So you see, there are actually two known existing realms or deminsions. The Shadow Realm of the monsters and the Pharoah's Realm of the humans." Orb finished explaining and waited for the boy to snap at him, but the boy just frowned and laid back down. When Staff walked in a moment later, the boy had fallen back to sleep and Orb was looking through a stack of cards. "So..." Staff waited for Orb to say something but he just shrugged and gave her the he-took-it- rather-well look. "What cha looking at?" Orb looked up and met her gaze, "His summoning cards...he seems to have more dragons then any other card." "What kind of dragons?" Staff siddled up next to Orb to look at the cards. "Oh, he has three Blue Eyes White Dragons," smiled Orb as he fiddled with the cards, "They're very well taken care of." Staff looked at her lover and almost laughed at the look in his eyes. "You're not thinking of doing that...are you?"

"It wouldn't hurt, besides, he needs someone."

Seto cursed as he stumbled over something sharp. A week had passed since he had first woke up to find himself in the Shadow Realm and his new friends Orb and Staff refused to let him remove the bandages on his eyes. At first it had been a living hell, bumping into anything and everything, but he was used to the place now and could remember where things were. His senses had become more acute and he was learning to rely more on taste, touch, hear, and smell instead of see. Maybe that was because if he wanted to live without twenty million bruises he had to learn to cope without his eyes.

Seto was now becoming impatient and wanted to see again. It was pretty cool at first, but now he was used to the new sensations and was starting to relive his memories. None of them were pretty and everytime someone touched him he saw Gozubora. Seto hadn't told Orb and Staff about what had happened to him and how his face had been damaged. He didn't want to remember it and telling them would make him remember. Besides, what could they possibly do. No amount of black magic can erase the fact of his lost innocence. He just wanted to see again, so he could focus on the things he saw and not his memories.

"Hey Seto! I've got a present for you." Seto turned towards Staff's voice. He listened as her footsteps got closer and felt her begin to remove the bandages. "What! I can take them off now!" Seto could of danced for joy. He heard Staff giggle, "Of course, a week should of done it. Your face should be healed."

Seto felt as one-by-one the bandages were removed. He closed his eyes, wanting to see everything at once. When the last of the bandages were removed, Seto opened his eyes expecting to see the furniture in the room and Staff standing in front of him. To his horror, he saw nothing but the darkness he had been looking at for the last week. "Are the...lights turned off Staff?" "Of course not Seto, we don't have electricity. Why ...oh no..." Seto didn't like the oh no part.

"What? Why did you say oh no? What's going on!?"

"Seto, the pupil of your eyes are...white."

"What do you mean!"

"Seto...I think you're...blind."

"BLIND!!!!!!!!!!"

AnimeFan: O.O First he's raped, and now he's blind. Ahhhh!!!!!! (runs away from the Seto fans flaming her) Stop! I'm serious! Seto Kaiba is my number one favorite character!!!!! (escapes the flames) Don't worry Seto fans, things will get better for our blue eyed hero. I'm really sorry for grammar and mispellings. I almost couldn't continue this fic till summer was over. I'm staying at my dad's and they don't have Microsoft Word. But I didn't give up for your sake and found this handy little program called WordPad. The only thing is it don't have spelling check. So for the next chapters and probably till the end, there will be a lot of mispellings. You've been warned! Next chapter up real soon! ^-^
