"Man I didn't know that you were that good at video games!" Joey remarked to Bakura as they left the mall.
"I used to play a lot in England actually." Bakura chuckled, his arm casually wrapped around Serenity's waist.
"Dance Dance Revolution* should be called Death Dance Revolution." Tristan panted, stretching long legs.
They had reached the empty parking lot on the other side of the building when a dark figure jumped out at them.
"We're looking for Mr. Kaiba." The figure said in a deep growl.
Mokuba instinctly locked his hand with MacKenzie. And she wrapped a protective arm around him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yugi told him sternly.
"I think you do." The voice echoing from the figure hissed. "Mokuba Kaiba is here! Give him to me!"
"You're going to have to go through me first." Yugi's voice had deepened and he had seemed to grow taller in just seconds. Lightning blonde streaks appeared in his hair and his violet eyes became cold. "Leave the boy alone."
"Yami, be careful!" Tea` called to him.
"You think you can stop me? Ha!" the voice sneered as it walked into the light.
"I-It's the Hitotsu-Me Giant!" Mokuba gasped, clutching Mac's jacket. "One of my brother's favorite cards."
"Do I look like a card to you? Naïve Child!" the scaly, one-eyed creature laughed almost demonically. "Now hand him over."
"You won't live to put your hands on him." The eye of Horus began to glow in the middle of Yami's forehead. He held out his hand as his eyes became almost emotionless. "Mind crush!!!!!!"
The hideous monster shrieked in pain and it's body began to shake as it collapsed onto the pavement. Blood began to pool from the corner of its mouth.
"Remind me never to get in your way." Tristan was the first one to speak after the frightnening ordeal.
Yami had left and Yugi had taken his place once again. The smaller boy panted from the work Yami's body had forced him to with take.
"Yugi are you alright?" Tea asked, at his side in an instant.
"Yeah." He smiled up at her, his big purple eyes returning to normal.
"I think we need to talk with Kaiba, Yug." Joey said, his eyes watching the huge monster infront of them slowly dissapear into a thousand glittery flakes. "I got that bad feelin' again."
"I agree." Bakura muttered.
"Let's get going." Mai started. "I am seriously creeped out."
They quickly cut across the city to historical downtown where Kaiba Corp.'s main office was.
Hot chick, ain't she?
'Leave me alone.'
Yami B** was taunting Bakura as they took the walk downtown.
You haven't old her about me yet.
'Nor do I plan too.' Bakura glanced over to Serenity, who was having a conversation with Mac.
Hey, lover boy! I was talking to you!
'Go away.'
As he said those words, he felt his conscience, his mind and his soul, being pulled backwards into the shadow realm.
Do I have your attention now Bakura?
He gritted his teeth. '………yes.'
Why don't you let her know about me? Everyone knows about that goody-goody pharaoh anyway.
'That's because Yami's spirit helps people, unlike you. He didn't go around stealing Millenium items.'
That still doesn't change the point that she deserves to know about me. I feel a little jealous and left out.
'Give me a break.'
If you don't tell her I will.
'…………..'
"We're here." Mokuba broke Bakura out of his trance and livened everyone up. He hit the intercom button and immediatedly got a reply.
"Yes?"
"Judy, it's Mokuba. I have a group to see me brother."
The voice snapped to attention. "Yes sir. Do you want me to inform him that you're coming?"
"Please."
"Your welcome sir." The front doors to the building unlocked and slid open, and the group entered.
Seto was waiting for the group and he dashed up as soon as the doors opened. He could tell by the look on their faces that something was wrong.
"You alright Mokuba?"
The younger boy's steel gray eyes met his brother's cerulean ones and he smiled. "Yeah, I'm alright."
"He wouldn't have been if it weren't for the spirit of Yugi's puzzle." Mac spoke up.
"Was it you Kaiba." Joey asked suddenly. "Were you the one who let that hideous beast out on us?"
Seto stared back at him blankly. "What?"
"We were attacked tonight by one of your favorite cards. The Hitotsu-Me Giant, I believe." Tristan crossed his arms.
The older Kaiba brother's eyes widened. "What?!" he turned to the smallest member of their group. "Yugi-"
"It's true Kaiba. When we left the mall, Mac and Mokuba were headed here. We were jumped by a huge green monster with one eye. The Yami killed it but-" he paused taking time to look Seto in the eye. "It was after Mokuba."
Seto ran a hand through his short chestnut hair. "I don't know what to do about this. I've got enough going on with the ball right now. Yugi, do you think I could leave this up to you to figure out what's going on?"
"Sure." The deep-voiced taller version of Yugi stated, and everyone realized they had switched places. "My game is that for some reason, the shadow games are coming to life. And it's after Mokuba because of Kaiba Corp."
"Why here?" Tea` asked, looking around.
"Because Kaiba Corp is one of the major companies that develops Duel Monsters technology. They might be a part of what's going on, even if they're doing it unintentionally."
"Then any company head might be in danger?" Joey asked.
"Somebody might want to warn Pegasus, and Duke too." Mai brushed her blonde bangs out of her eyes.
"They will both be here tomorrow night." Seto shook his head. "I don't know if this is my company's doing, but we'll get to the bottom of this."
Yami silently nodded.
"Yugi?" Mac spoke up. "Do you think Seto's in any danger?"
"Probably." Yami nodded. "He might be worth more to those monsters than Mokuba."
"That settles it. Then I'm staying here." She crossed her arms.
"No!" Tristan and Seto said at the exact same moment.
"I'm not letting you stay the night with him!" Tristan snapped.
"It's too dangerous anyway for you to be here, and I've got to much to do." Seto glared at her.
"To bad." She stared back at them both, waiting for them to defy her. Seto and Tristan shot each other hideous glares, but neither chose to argue. They knew when MacKenzie made up her mind there was no changing it.
"I'll call Mom and let her know." Tristan said finally.
"I'll put on more guards." Seto said slowly, not taking his eyes off Mac. "Hey, thanks everyone."
Yugi smiled back. "No problem Seto."

A short chapter, I know, but bear with me. I'm trying to get these out as quick as I can, finish my schoolwork and work on………6 other stories (all will prob. Be posted sooner or later!) I have up to chapter 5 of my Yug-Gi-Oh! Story written down , but I haven't typed them yet. I'm trying to get them done, so everyone just be patient!
· * No, I'm not dissing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). I love the game and own 3rd, 5th, DDR Max and Konamix, so I'm definitely not dissing it. I just could never see Tristan in his long trench coat, trying to figure out how to play (great idea for a story….*_~)
· ** Yami B is Yami Bakura, just for a lack of anything better to call him. It will be the same for all other Yami forms, except Yami Yugi, who I just call the supreme Yami, or Pharoah. Confused yet???
