**Sorry for the delay people! My computer is finally back to normal! Maybe even better! ^^. Now that title seems fitting for the idea for my chapter.mwahahaha*ahem*...Disclaimer: Don't own yugioh, the characters and such.**
Kaiba looked down at Chikara, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and gently shook her awake. She opened her eyes and sat straight up.
"Huh? What? Did I fall asleep? How rude of me! I'm so sorry, Seto!" said Chikara quickly as she scratched the back of her head.
Kaiba laughed a bit. "It's okay. We're here now."
They all piled out of the van stiffly and stretched. They were standing in the short gravel driveway, beside a log cabin that was slightly larger than the neighboring ones that were around a crystal clear lake. Birds chirped from the dense, forest-like patches of trees that separated one cabin from another. They all took their belongings and walked into the cabin. Joey and the others who were in his father's van, where already sitting on the couch and talking.
"Well, it took ya long enough to get 'ere," said Joey jokingly. "Anyways, we've got to decide who's rooming with who.Let's see.there is 11 people.3 girls and 8 boys.ah.I dunno.you guys figure it out."
"Something tells me that the only thinking that Joey is going to do all spring break," said Tea.
"Very funny, Tea.anyways the rooms are big enough for 3 or 4 people to room in at one time..so pick your roommates or something." said Joey as he stretched.
"Okay, the girls will bunk together and you muscle heads figure it out," said Tea as she stood up.
Chikara snickered a bit and the girls left the room with their stuff. Most of the boys sighed and looked at each other.
"So.what should we do?" said Tristan as he looked around at the group.
Kaiba picked up his bags and glared at Joey. "If we have to share rooms with the others, then you are not coming near me, chihuahua.let's go Mokuba." and with that he left with his little brother following him closely.
"Well that was inviting," said Joey as he shook his head slowly.
"Okay.uhm.how about Tristan, Joey, Bakura and I bunk in one room.would you mind bunking with Kaiba, Malik?" asked Yugi nervously.
"I think I'll manage," said Malik as he left the living room to Kaiba's room.
"Hope you know what you are doin, Yug.I'm not sure if Kaiba will approve of that." sad Joey as he stood up.
Tea and Isis were unpacking their bags carefully and Chikara just sat on her bed, looking at the floor.
Tea walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay? We're here to have fun you know."
"Yea! I'm just fine.I'm just.thinking.that's all." she said as she starting putting her clothing into one of the drawers.
After they finished unpacking and settling in, the other girls went out to talk with the others and Chikara sat on her bed, reading a school textbook. She wasn't really reading the pages; she was just skimming through in deep thought. Not really reading the words. She didn't hear the person enter into her room and stand at the foot of her bed, watching her carefully.
"There must be something troubling you if you do not know that I am here, right in front of you." said Shadi calmly.
Chikara wasn't paying attention as she kept reading though the book, completely deep in thought. Shadi raised an eyebrow and walked around the bed and beside Chikara. He reached over to take the book and Chikara closed the book and slammed it on his head.
"What the hell do you think that you are doing!? What do you want?! NEVERMIND! Go away!" yelled Chikara.
Shadi blinked in surprise at the young woman's sudden reaction. He backed up to the doorway and shut the door. Yami was walking up from the hallway and raised an eyebrow in perplexity. (A.N: Yugi is in his soul room sleeping)
"Having difficultly talking to her?" asked Yami as he walked up to the Egyptian soldier.
"Yes.she seems more tense and stressed.perhaps the spirit of her millennium puzzle is too much for her to handle." said Shadi as he crossed his arms and looked at the Egyptian pharaoh.
"But she has become attached to the power, has she not? It would be fatal to just take it away from her." said Yami as he looked at the closed door.
"If this continues, then I have no other choice." Said Shadi flatly. "She is getting injured and if she if not careful she can get killed."
"You do have a point..but we should at least talk to her..or Seto Kaiba can talk to her." Said Yami as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Shadi remained silent and looks at Yami's face. He walked down the hallway and disappeared without a word. Yami knocked on the door.
"Chikara, will you come out and see the others?" he said as he crossed his arms.
There was no reply. Yami opened the door and found that the room was dark and empty. The curtains were closed and the lights were off. The only light that was in the room was from the doorway and from the edges of the curtains. Yami walked in confused and looked around.
"Chikara. I know that you are in here. If there is something wrong you can tell either one of us." Said Yami as he walked in a bit further.
The door slammed shut and Yami whirled around. He stood still and scanned the room with his red-purplish eyes.
"Chikara? Where are you?" he asked into the dark room.
Chikara silently appeared out of the darkness behind Yami and was grinning sinisterly. Her eyes had a red tint to them as she looked down at the pharaoh. Her other had finally found the chance to possess her body. She reached her hands out at the unsuspecting Yami who was scanning the half of the room that was in front of him. Before Yami could turn around, she had hit him in the neck with the side of her hand and knocked him out.
Chikara's other laughed evilly and looked at Yami's unconscious body on the wooden floor. "How easy that was.the unsuspecting pharaoh should of paid more attention to the minor details of my trap."
Her deep purple tail swayed slowly across the wooden floor as she knelt down and robbed the pharaoh of his precious millennium puzzle. The puzzle glowed and Yami returned to the ancient object, leaving the sleeping Yugi on the floor, unaware of what was happening. She walked over to the closet and opened it. She took one of Chikara's bag and slid the millennium puzzle under her extra clothing.
"One down.six to go.." Chikara's other said as she laughed insanely.
She pointed at Yugi, with her palm facing his body and he glowed with a dull red aura. He disappeared and reappeared in his empty room, on his bed without the millennium puzzle.
"Now.who will be next?" said her other thoughtfully as she tossed a lock of her deep purple hair out of her face. "Hmm.the tomb robber would be a wise choice.he would definitely sense the absence of the pharaoh.I will plan carefully throughout the day, as the brat walks around clueless of what is occurring."
The necklace that had the millennium item symbol, glowed and Chikara was in control of her body. But not before her other beat her up a bit with a hard punch on the eye and re-cutting her arms. She fell on her knees feeling weak then fell forward onto the floor, unconscious.
Isis and Tea were walking down the hallway to tell Chikara that they would eat lunch now. They opened the door and both gasped in astonishment. Tea flicked the light switch on and almost screamed. In the middle of the floor was Chikara, unconscious and her arms were bleeding again.
"Tea, you must inform the others quickly!" said Isis as she knelt beside Chikara.
Tea nodded and ran out of the room as fast as she could. Isis carefully turned Chikara's face towards her and saw that she had a black eye and her neck was bruised. She touched Chikara's bruised eye and neck carefully and shook her head slowly.
"What.did she beat herself somehow? No.she would not do that.she has no reason to.I wondered why my millennium item was glowing.it must've been warning me of something.. perhaps this." said Isis to herself.
All the others, except Yugi/Yami and Shadi, rushed into the room and stopped dead in their tracks as soon as they entered the doorway. Tea left the room with Mokuba, who kept asking what was going on, and told him that everything was fine.
Malik ran over to his sisters' side and knelt down beside her. "This is he second time.something is very wrong."
Joey scratched his head. "Aw man! We can't let my parents know about this! Otherwise the vacation is gonna be messed up! The police will find out and interview every one of us! And-."
Tristan slapped his hand over Joey's non-stop talking mouth. "Relax Joey, no one else has to find out about this. Now stop worrying and yelling, your parents might here you!"
Chikara stirred and groaned from pain. She opened her good eye and looks up at Isis and Malik, who were knelt down beside her. She immediately sat up and crawled backwards away from them. She felt extreme pain in her arms and she opened both eyes as she saw fresh blood seep out of the cuts.
"Wait a second, where's Yugi?" asked Bakura as he scanned the group for their short companion.
"Yea, I haven't seen Yami either.where could those two be?" said Tristan as he took his hand off of Joey's mouth.
Kaiba remained silent and walked up to Chikara. He knelt down in front of her and looked into her eyes worriedly.
"Why would you do this to yourself.is there something that you aren't telling me?" whispered Kaiba.
Chikara looked at Kaiba as if wanting to tell him about her other. She wanted to tell him about how much pain she was enduring. She wanted to tell him so many things, but she kept silent and looked at the floor. Bakura slightly jogged out of the room and went to their room. He then found Yugi, sitting on the bed with his knees pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around his knees.
"Yugi?" asked Bakura as he walked up to him.
Yugi had tears on the edges of his eyes and he was shaking slightly. "He's gone."
Bakura gave a puzzled look at Yugi. "Who's gone? Everyone is here."
"N-no.Yami.he's.gone.no millennium puzzle.I can't sense his presence anymore." said Yugi then he started to cry.
