Chapter 8: Escaping Fate

"I have to get out of here..." Mokuba thought as he continued to rub his two hands against the sharp corner of an old Baroque style dresser. As he continued to brush the strings against the corner, he found it useless. He sighed and looked around the room to see if he could find something to cut the rope that binded his arms. That's when he spotted an old rusted saw lying against a bookcase. As he bounced across the room, with the chair, to get to the saw...the chair fell sideways on the hard attic floor.

*BOOM* The noise rumbled through the room.

"Hello?" Mokuba heard a servant call.

His eyes widened. He tried to muffle the word "Help," but found it useless with the piece of cloth in his mouth. That's when he started banging against the floor with the chair.

"Master Kaiba?" He heard the servant as he walked into the attic.

"G...e...mhmhm...t.....mmmhm....me...ou....mhmh...t!" Mokuba screamed. (Get me out!)

"Master Mokuba!" The servant exclaimed as he undid the rope and took out the cloth. "What ever happened?" He asked as Mokuba got to his feet quickly.

"No time, I have to save Yami!" Mokuba yelled as he ran down the stairs toward the front door.

"Wait...Sir..." The servant said as he heard the front door slam shut.

~Back to the reunion~

"Yo Yami! Seto is dancing with your girl." Joey said in his usual accent.

"I know," Yami said as he continued to watch the two in the corner of his eye. "Don't make a big deal out of it....she's just dancing with him...." Yami said as he reassured the group.

"Yeah Joey, lets dance..." Mai said as she held her hand out.

{Mai and Joey settled their problem, but not letting their secret out! They just agreed to be together at the reunion as good friends. Serenity is with Tristan now.}

"Sure." Joey said as Yugi and Misty followed.

Yami turned around and looked at Tristan and Serenity. Serenity smiled at him and looked over to Tristan. "Do you want to dance?" Serenity asked as Tristan nodded.

Now he was all alone, or so he thought. -__-

"You did not heed my warning Pharaoh." Isis said as she sat across from him. She was covered in a brown robe. Yami looked at her.

"No need to be alarmed Isis." Yami said as he fixed his suit.

"Hmmm.." She looked at him. "So am I to understand that you did not sense the power of the deceased priest?" Yami gave Isis a fixed stare. "Well?"

"I did sense it." Yami looked back at Tea and Seto. "But does he know how to use the power?"

Isis sighed and looked at Tea and Seto. "We will have to wait and see."

Yami looked at her. He knew that she knew what was going to happen, so why didn't she tell him?

"You must rely on yourself Yami, sometimes magic isn't the only solution." Isis said softly.

'How does she do that? I thought she only had the power to see into the future and the past?'

"Don't mind that, just worry about Tea....she may be in great danger." Isis said softly.
~Meanwhile~

'I wish he would stop looking at me like that!' Tea thought as she smiled weakly and continued to dance hand in hand with him. 'Come on song! END! END!' Tea screamed in her head.

The two have been dancing for only two minutes, but to Tea it felt like an hour. Something about him didn't seem right and Tea wanted to move as far away from him as possible. She couldn't take that sly smile and those cold blue eyes. His features made her think of P. Seto. Tea shuddered at the thought and focused her mind on something else. Yami.

'She looks tense tonight....' Seto thought as she smiled again. 'She should save it for later..." He laughed menacingly to himself.

'Why does he keep looking at me like that?' She thought again as the song started to end. 'What if he is up to something?' She swallowed hard and quickly looked over to Yami. He wasn't there. 'Oh no, I hope I didn't hurt his feelings or anything....' She thought as she pulled away from Seto.

"Wait, one more dance..." Seto said as she moaned to herself.

"Umm..." She looked at him. "You know...they're probably other girls that want to dance with you." Tea reasoned. 'Yeah, the stupid ones....' Tea said to herself as she forced herself to hold a straight face.

"But you're the only girl that I want to dance with." Seto said.

'Is he trying to trick me into a false sense of security? I won't fall for it.' Tea thought as she looked at him. "I'll dance with you again...just-" She was interuppted by Kaiba.

"You don't understand." Tea looked at him. "The thing is Tea, I really like you.." Tea's eyes started to water a bit. "You're the only one that listened to me, taught me how to have a heart, and reach out to others. I'll never forget that. That's why the only person I want to be with tonight is...you."

Everybody got silent and looked at Tea and Seto, even Yami who was in the corner talking to Isis.

"Seto.....do you really mean all that?" Tea asked as Seto nodded his head.

"You changed me Tea, nobody has ever been able to break through the wall that I keep around my heart......but you did." Seto looked into her eyes.

"Kaiba....I don't know what to say." Tea said as he looked at her.

"Say you will always be mine." Seto said.

"Kaiba...I'm with-"

"STOP! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Mokuba shouted as he struggled to get through the crowd.

Everybody looked at him as he rushed through everyone. The music stopped playing as well.

"Hey kid! You can't be in here!" A guard yelled as Mokuba ignored him.

"HE WANTS TO KILL Y-" Seto interuppted Mokuba.

"Silence boy....I shall not tolerate your ill behavior." Seto said as Tea looked at Mokuba.

"Maybe you should be quiet and let Mokuba talk." Tea said as she glared at Seto.

"He's planning to kill Yami, Tea." Tea's eyes widened.

"What?" Tea said as she looked at Mokuba.

"He's lying." Seto said as he tried to touch Tea.

"You creep!" Tea yelled as she smacked his hand away.

"Please Princess, listen to me." Seto said as Tea's mouth fell open.

"What did you just call me?" Tea said as Seto grabbed her hand.

"What? Don't like the name?" Seto said as he pulled out a necklace that had the hourglass attached to it. "Get used to it...." He said as she tried to pull away.

"Not again, Seto!" Yami yelled as he pushed the crowd away and pulled Tea away from him.

"You're right....lets try something different....." Seto said as he pulled out a small Egyptian dagger and lunged at Yami with it. The crowd gasped as Yami swiftly jumped out of the way.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Yami yelled at the crowd.

Only Yugi, Bakura, Mai, and Joey stayed where Yami, Tea, and Seto were {Isis is also there but nobody knows it.} Yami looked over to Tea quickly. "You need to get out here too." He said as she nodded and headed for the door.

"No Tea, you can't go....." She turned around and looked at Seto. "I meant what I said, I DO love you. You have changed me for the better....see this...." He looked at the dagger. "This is not me." He said as he dropped the knife on the floor. "All I need is you now."

Yami looked at Tea. He knew Kaiba was lying, but did she? Could she actually believe him? Especially after all that she has been through with him? Yami would have to wait and see.

"Well Kaiba...I...."
