Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or any other characters from the show. The names of the cards like Orb, Staff, and Kenori are of my own creation and so are their personalities so no copying. If I catch you copying nothing bad will happen cept I'll complain to fanfiction.net staff and be overly flattered that you liked the names so much that you went and used them.

A/N: Ok, so far I haven't gotten much on reviews but I relieze it is summer vacation and a lot of you have better things to do then to read fanfiction. Goes to show you how stupid it is to send poor children to school. ^-^ I noticed that in the first two or three chapters I mentioned a Joseph and a Drigon Rider card in my dislaimer. These two names are not in this fic at all and I have no idea what I was thinking. lol. The millenium heartpeice is in this fic and I do own the idea. Now to my ficcy!

############################################################################ #### "What's all the screaming for!" Seto heard Orb yell across the room. Orb had walked in to see Seto yelling as Staff removed the bandages and annouced that he was blind. "Staff says that I'm blind." Seto frowned towards the direction of Orb's voice. He heard movement as Orb crossed the room to join them. Just how he wanted to spend the rest of his crappy life, trapped in his memories and thoughts. "Damn, I hate to admit it but I think Staff's right. The pupils of your eyes are a misty white." Seto collapsed into the couch and struggled to not cry. He just wasn't allowed to be happy, was he.

"What in hell happened to you anyway to get you so beaten and bruised?" Seto thought about what he'd say to them. He had only known them for about a week and most of the time he had been in a deep healing sleep. His experiance with opening up and telling people his story had taught him to just keep quiet. Orb and Staff didn't even know his name, let alone anything else. Not to mention they claimed to be Dark Magicians. Seto wondered what was happening with Yami and the others. Were they alive, more importantly did they even notice he was gone. Probably not, they probably didn't care either. Yami was no doubt partying and having a blast not caring that his rival was missing.

Seto mentally cursed as one rebelious tear escaped from him and slid down his cheek. He didn't hear anything from Orb and Staff but he knew they had seen it. Ah hell, what did he care. If they were Dark Magicians and this was the Shadow Realm then nobody knew that Seto Kaiba never cried or laughed. That Seto Kaiba was the most unteenager as impossable allows. So Seto didn't fight back the rest of the tears that followed as he started to think about Yami and the others not even caring about him. Gozubora was right, no one cared about him. He was just another slut. Seto felt a hand wipe away the tears and smiled towards its owner. He had to admit, he liked Orb and Staff. They were both very kind to him and had put up with his stubborness.

In fact, there was no reason for them to put up with anymore of him. "It was nothing, just a fight with some street punk." He didn't have to force a smile as he remembered the sight of the scruft up dog, Joey Wheeler, explaining to Mokuba about their fight. He had really nailed the kid good in the nose. Damnit, he was blind and he couldn't stop thinking about Yami and the others. He didn't know if that was a bad thing or not. "Well, if that was all. Humans really shouldn't fight. They tend to get injured to easily...um...I looked at your deck of duel cards and I noticed you own three of the four blue eyes white dragons. Do you like those cards?" Seto turned his head towards Orb and let his mouth hang open. "Do I like them! Their my favorite cards, no competition in that. Well, except my old Dark Magician card." Seto made sure his tone was that of a end-of-subject tone. He didn't want to talk about his Dark Magician card.

"Ok, well I figured that much. I've got something for you. It'll help you with your sight problem." Seto frowned a little, what was Orb talking about. He tensed a little as he felt a sharp prickling on his shoulder. Seto brought his hand over to see what was on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow as he felt a little figure shift under his touch. It was small, about two or three inches tall and a bit heavy. It had claws which had been dug into his shoulder and a long, slender neck. He ran his hand down the neck and felt what seemed to be wings. A little farther down was a long slender tail that hanged over his shoulder lazily. It gave a little cry and nipped at his hair. Seto suddenly got the strangest feeling that he knew what the creature was. "Orb, this isn't what I think it is...is it? It couldn't be a...blue eyes white dragon!?"

"It could and it is. I believe you know it's name. This is one of your three blue eyes." Seto closed his eyes as his little friend nipped his ear playfully. Yes, he knew this one, but he didn't think she would be so small. "Her name's Kenori. She's the daughter of Mana and Koja, my other two blue eyes. Why is she so small though?" He felt Kenori react to his comment and smiled as the little dragon stretched it's wings defiantly. "She can be small and she can be her normal size. It's a technique dragons have mastered over the centuries," Staff said as Seto felt Kenori climb onto his head and curl up to sleep. "Thank you Orb, I feel...so much better now. But, is there nothing in the Shadow Realm that can cure blindness?" He had decided that Orb and Staff hadn't been lieing to him and that he could trust them.

"Actually there is one way, but the chances are slim. There is an oracle to the north. She lives in a sacred grotto that is filled with water that possesses magical healing powers. This water is so sacred that one and only one bottle is given away every decade. It can heal anything from cancer to death. But, like I said your chances are slim. Someone else may of already been there and received this decades bottle." Seto thought about this as Orb continued to explain the effects of the water and that one bottle is enough for one illness only. Well, sitting here and troubling his friends didn't sound like the life Seto wanted. Besides, he didn't want to be blind. Fate could take his virginaty, his pride, his happiness, his life, but it was not going to get away with taking his eyes.

"I'm going to go find this grotto. I know the chance of me getting there first is slim, but I'm willing to try anyway." Seto pulled himself to his feet and struggled to find his trenchcoat. "We figured you would go anyway, so we've already prepared the things you'll need. We can't go with you though, that's why I brought you Kenori." Seto smiled, he should of known. Orb and Staff seemed to know a lot about Seto, even more then Yami or even his brother. There, he was thinking about the others again. Were they all he ever thought about? "I got you some new clothes. Your old ones are ripped and bloodied." Staff handed him some clothes and Seto felt the material. The pants were leather, the shirt was of material close to silk, and...hey...a new trenchcoat made of leather!

Seto went into his room and pulled on his new wardrobe. The leather pants were tight and hugged the curves of his lower body. The shirt was a turtleneck which hugged to his upper body like the pants did to his lower form. His new leather trenchcoat also hugged his upper form. It didn't have sleaves but was more like a tanktop with a chin high collar and the lower part of the coat spreading out at his hips to stop at his knees. Add to the two belts buckled on each of his lower arms and legs and Seto could put Yami to shame.

Orb walked in and gave a low whistle. "Orb, tell me what the colors look like. I don't want to be walking around in pink and yellow." He heard Orb giggled at the image and waited patiently. "Well, the pants are black, the shirt is black, and the trenchcoat is...black. The buckles, the zipper of the coat, and the little spike like things near the collar are silver so you really have nothing to fear." Seto straitened his new coat and walked over to feel Orb handing him a backpack. "I trust your not lieing to me, Orb. If you are, I'll find out and then I'll come back and kill you both." Seto smiled and pulled the backpack over his back.

"We both hope you'll come back when you finish your quest. We'd like to know if you succeeded." Seto smiled and hugged Orb, nothing personal just friendly. He then walked out with him and hugged Staff. Seto felt his throat choke up but swallowed and called Kenori over to his shoulder. Together they all walked out to the forest where Seto left with a few goodbyes and followed the road, Kenori guiding him. He stopped a little way ahead and turned, "My name's Seto...Seto Kaiba. Thank you for your help." He then continued walking up the path leaving the safety of the village and his new friends.
