The dark leader strode down the empty hallways, footsteps making slightly more sound than rubbing two fingers together. His lips were up-turned into a slight smirk, ruby eyes glowing with slight bloodlust..
The hunt was on.
Serepent, I'm … I'm…okay, I think… But I- Yami stopped for a moment, facing a short corridor leading in the opposite direction as he picked up a mental transmission. It seemed that Bakura had also found his prey. That would mean, as the leader, Yami would have to speed up the chase.
He lengthened his stride, refraining from running. Running created the image of one rushing, doing things unexpected. Yami was never caught off-guard. He knew things, being psycic helped you in that field. Of course, Kiram was the pre-cog, but that didn't stop this dark warrior from forseeing…
Whish!
A soft wistling noise notified him that something was coming though the air. Coming fast. He quickly raised his hand up, causing the object to fall to the ground. A dart. Hmm..
"Naga-kun?"
A small, young face poked out from behind a turn. The expression began as a smile, then turned into a look of dismay… Not Naga-kun. Someone else. Or was it?
"Not Naga-kun!", the boy, Serpent, squeaked, "Not Naga-kun at all!"
"Naga? You mean the little boy that Bakura will be disposing off", commented Yami dryly, hiding rapidedly moving thoughts behind a mask of an assasin.
Genji, baka. The looked more alike then he had expected. Of course, the good doctor had told him that their would be a little resemblence, but not this much. They could've been brothers.. Or twins.
Or a clone and his original.
It was a slight miscalculation. Not a mistake. Never a mistake. The darkness didn't make mistakes. Made to be superior, perfect warriors. Perfect meant no mistakes.
"No! Naga is strong, you'll see!", the shadow assasin was drawn out of his thoughts as the shorter of the two attempted to defend his friend's status, even though it was rather clear that he was the one in danger now.
"Hmmmm...", replied Yami, advancing torwards Yuugi, who immediately whipped out his darts and began backing away.
"Stay back", he whispered, "I don't want to hurt you."
"I wouldn't get so confident, if I was you."
"Well, you're not me!!", was the answer as five sharp-tipped darts flew at Yami.
He shifted his attention slightly to block the on-coming weapons. In that fraction of a second, there was a small explosion, filing the room with smoke.
And when it cleared, target: Yuugi Motou.. was gone.

"Unngh…", Marik mumbled as he regained conciousness.
Slowly, his visioned cleared… Revealing to him a dark room. Kami-sama.. His head hurt like someone had just clubbed him a hundred times with an old fruitcake. With another groan, code name Viper attempted to stand up.
Which he found rather hard because..
"KAMI-SAMA!! Alright, which one of you evil ..uhm, GUYS tied me here?!", yelled Marik, throughly pissed off at the fact that he was useless to his team, tied to a pole in the middle of a dark room and unable to be cocky.
"Ho-hum!! I'm not Evil Uhm Guy, sorry. I don't know anyone named that!"chimed a happy young voice from behind him, "My name is Kiram, Doctor-dad told me to catch you and your friend!! He is your friend, right? Because, it's kinda nice to have friends, isn't it?"
Blink. "Wha…?"
"Oh!! Bakura-guy looked in your minds and he told me your name. So, I already know who you are, even before you came here!!", continued Kiram, walking over to Marik so that they were facing each other, "I told Doctor-dad thatyou were coming. I can see things before they happen!! Yami-leader calls me a 'pre-cog'."
"But-"
Kiram smiled and sat down crosslegged,"Don't worry, I can't see it all the time. My powers just tell me sometimes. I do know though, that you're surprised-ness, right?"
"Ah, yes. Sort of", replied Marik, still blinking furiously.. He shook his head, thinking: Kami-sama.. I must've been drugged or something…
"Uhm.. no. You don't have that yucky stuff in your red stuff in your body. And yes, I do look a lot like you, huh?", the blonde clone replied, tapping his chin with his finger, "Oh well, that's okay. We can be like pretend brothers."
"How-"
"You sure talk a lot, huh? Well, uhm.. let's see", Kiram went on, concentrating on Marik for a moment before continuing, "Yes, I'm sort of your enemy, but you wanna be friends when we're not enemies? And uhm.. yeah, I think your friend is okay. Mabe you shouldn't think so much."
"Stop that already!", shouted Marik. He shivered inwardly. He would never EVER be able to think again without the fear of someone listening in. Kami-sama, Marik would hate to have to be stupid for a little privacy.
"Aww.. fine, be a pouty butt..", muttered the other assasin, folding his arms and making his bottom lip quiver slightly, "I'm going to go play with Seto-bro! When you want to play, just call me. I'll feel better later… You really need to work on your social skills, Mister Marik…I could help you sometime, later, when you're not mad at me anymore."
And with that, Kiram slipped out, leaving Marik alone in the dark, very very confused.

Ryou dogded yet another mental blast as it crashed up against a wall and rebounded, bouncing off the walls after him down the corridor. Following slowly behind, smirking, was Bakura, the telepath.
"At this rate…", panted Naga to himself, "I won't be able to affect a cat!"
Don't worry about the cats, little snake, worry about your own skin… Bakura's mental voice chuckled inside Ryou's head. Ryou groaned. Not again. It was bad enough that his new enemy had decided to throw giant balls of psycic energy at him. Did he really have to taunt mentally as well?
Yes.
Stay out of my head! Pleaded Ryou, slided across the floor as another attack flew at him. Going with instinct, the Hikari assasin ripped a door out of the wall with his powers and sent it flying at the next attack, dispersing it.
So, the little snake has a little fight in him after all? I don't want to fight!! The answer vibrated out at Bakura and Ryou continued to be chased rather than rebel. Why not? Afraid? Because.. I.. can't… The whisper of a mental reply was slightly more than a ripple… He was tiring…
You're.. too much… like me…
