A pair of eyes blinked. One figure shook his head, flabbergasted. He began,
"I don't believe it! It-it can't be!"
"Hmm...what are you talking about?"
"..that card..."
"Which card?"
"The Rainbow Eyes Crystal Dragon....very powerful."
"Not as powerful as the Blue Eyes, but...yes. It IS a powerful card indeed."
"No..does the Blue Eyes give off energy like that?"
"What do you mean, 'give off energy'?"
"Don't you see? Look at Seto Kaiba. He's having a ball. No pun intended."
"I see...we must get that card, then."
"And you will." A third voice had joined the fray. "Get the card."
"How do you do that?"
"Cause a little distraction...you know how kindred their hearts are. I'm sure you'll figure SOMEthing out.."
"Right, sir. But when do we atta--"
"NOW. Get it, and quickly."
* * * *
"Kaiba! I had NO idea you can dance like thi-iiis!" Kira whirled around, was dipped, then twirled. "What happened?"
"To be honest with you--" Kaiba shook his head in confusion, then led Kira across the room. "I have no idea!"
"I'm loving this!"
"And surprisingly, so am I!" Kaiba dipped Kira again,then brought her back to his gaze. Kira smiled softly, then couldn't help but hug him.
"You know, I missed you.." Kira closed her eyes.
"I don't know what to say," he replied.
"..except...?"
"Are you going to keep up with me, or what?" Kaiba suddenly whipped Kira around him, catching her off-guard. Kira laughed.
"Amazing! Ai!" Kira was moving quickly along with Kaiba, and the music continued on. Joey gulped some water, then tapped Yugi's shoulder.
"Hey, Yugi--" Joey tapped on his shoulder. Yugi turned and faced Joey.
"Yeah, Joey?"
"Look at Kaiba." Yugi turned his head and gasped. Kaiba's eyes were bright, and a smile was on his face. The unknown laughed as she danced with him, but Yugi kept wondering.
"Huh...that's not usual, is it?"
"He's actually smiling," Joey said. He scratched his head curiously. "That's just too weird for me."
"I wonder why.." Yugi wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Well, either way, it looks like he's having a good time! Let him have some fun, huh?"
"I guess." Joey nodded. "Eh, every dog deserves his day."
"I love the irony," Tristan noted, in between snickers.
"What's that sposeda mean?!" Joey said, clenching his fists.
"Ugh...boys..." Tea trailed, sipping on some punch.
"Kira, seriously--" Kaiba stopped. "I really don't know what to say.
Kira smiled. "Then don't say anything.
Kaiba gently placed a hand on her cheek. Kira held his hand and smiled.
Tea couldn't help but watch. It was like watching Kaiba's heart thaw, and actually see it beat and grow. Tea smiled warmly, but then something else caught her eye. Two boys were yelling, and she couldn't help but notice. "Uh...oh.."
"Hey! Hey! Those are my cards!!" a boy cried.
"Nyah, nyah!!" A figure taunted. "Not anymore!"
"Give them back!"
A Duelist shouted, pointing toward to figures running down a hallway. "Hey!! Those two!! They-they stole my cards!!" Kaiba blinked, then turned to the scene, interrupting his own intimate one.
"Uh, oh...Kaiba, look," Kira said, pointing to the hallway. "Arghh..party crashers?"
Kaiba growled. "Maybe. Come on." He took Kira's hand and ran after them, narrowing his eyes. "Just when I was finally having a good time, SOMETHING has to happen.."
"Yugi! Someone's stealing cards!" Tristan said. "We have to-!"
"You're right. Let's go, guys! Come on!" Yugi motioned his friends to follow him, and they did so. They ran after the culprits, right behind Kaiba and Kira. Weevil let out a shout of anger as Yugi ran right by him.
"My ball! My-my party!!---RUINED!!" Weevil buried his face into his hands and moaned.
"Slow down, Kira!" Kaiba said, then shifted into full gear, running at his fastest. He was next to Kira, but Kira was focused to get the theives.
"Get back here!!" Kira shouted, and the two figures grinned. They skid to a halt, facing them, laughing.
"Wow, you caught up to us!"
"That was great! But I guess...you could say..you fell into a trap!"
"What?!" Yugi slowed down to a halt behind Kaiba, and so did his friends. "What's going on?! Who are you?!"
The two figures laughed, then gave the group evil grins. Their eyes started to glow an angry red. Kira took a step back.
"Hahahaha!! Suckers!! You lose! Your hearts have led you to your downfall...and you lose more than your balance! You lose---" The figures disappeared in thin air, Tristan blinked. "Hey! What the-!"
"Guys!" Tea shouted. "Where..where's the hallway!?"
They all turned around. The bright lights from the party were gone, and so was the hallway. The group was trapped in a box of darkness, and there was nowhere to go. Kira started to shiver. "I don't like thiiis.."
"You lose much more!" Suddenly, little flashes of different colors appeared around them--flashes of blue, yellow, orange, green--and they materialized into...cards!
"Our decks!" Yugi cried, his eyes widening.
"Your decks are ours now!! See ya later!" Those words were followed by laughter, and finally, screams. They all fell--they fell into a dark void, and they didn't know where they would end up.
* * * *
"Joey? Joey are you awake?" Joey's eyes slowly opened..he blinked, then saw a familiar face--with big purple eyes. Yugi's. Joey smiled.
"Yeah, I'm awake.." Joey groaned and sat up. "What happened?"
"We fell, a long, long way..." Yugi pointed upward. There was a big, black space, which was open in the ceiling. They were no longer in the beautiful ballroom with the satin curtains and tables with velvet drapes. The floor now was wooden, old, and bare..the walls were draped with cobwebs, and it was cold. Very cold.
"Ughh..where are the others?"
"We're okay," Tea said. Tristan rubbed his head, then nodded.
"All right...and-?"
"Yugi!!" Kira exclaimed, biting her lip. Yugi went over to her with worried eyes.
"What is it, Kira?"
"It-it...it's Kaiba," Kira choked out. "He...he won't wake up!" Yugi gasped as he saw Kaiba sprawled out on the floor, his eyes shut.
"Oh, Yugi, please! Do something!" Kira pleaded. "Kaiba can't--he can't be- !"
Yugi's Millenium Puzzle started to glow. Yugi could feel its power surge into his body, and it was overwhelming. Finally, Yugi's golden glow had ceased, and he had finished his transformation into Yami Yugi.
"Kaiba," he said in a deep voice. He stretched out his hand. "Open...open your eyes!"
A bright, white beam shot out of the Millenium Puzzle and hit Kaiba's eyes. Kaiba stirred, and his blue eyes fluttered open. He looked up and saw Yugi Yugi and Kira, looming over him. Kaiba frowned.
"What are you doing over me? Get off!" Kaiba snapped. Kira scooted back, but Yami Yugi could only smirk. "Heh." Yami slowly disappeared, and Yugi was left in his place. Yugi smiled. "Glad to see you woke up, Kaiba."
"Yeah, yeah." Kaiba stood up, dusting off his pants. He growled, looking at his surroundings. "Great. Now I KNOW I should have stayed home. This is PERFECT."
"Hey, don't blame us, Kaiba," Tea said. "YOU decided to come. You got into this mess too."
"Stupid theives...now where are we?"
"I don't know," Yugi said, shaking his head. "I don't know..."
"You don't know where we are, what we're doing here, and WHY we're here." Kaiba let out a grunt of frustration. "And, to top it all off, we have NO idea where our decks could be!! NOW what are we going to do?!"
A figure sat in a chair, watching the group and their frustration. A grin formed upon its face.
"It seems that the Rainbow Eyes Crystal Dragon does have some power...too bad it doesn't linger on for a little bit longer.."
"I don't believe it! It-it can't be!"
"Hmm...what are you talking about?"
"..that card..."
"Which card?"
"The Rainbow Eyes Crystal Dragon....very powerful."
"Not as powerful as the Blue Eyes, but...yes. It IS a powerful card indeed."
