*Seto's POV*
We'd received word that another God Card was in the area. So of course I was standing here, about to decide where to head next. Mokuba was explaining the possible location. For some strange reason, I felt like someone was watching me…
While I was listening to Mokuba speak, his words began to fade out slowly. They sounded hollow in my head…I felt dazed…suddenly, my mind went blank.
*Malik's POV*
Heh, it worked perfectly. Kaiba didn't even have time to resist; he didn't know what hit him. I felt the power of what I had overwhelm me, bringing two ideas into my head. First, I would kill this annoying brat rambling about God Cards in front of me…and then I could just grab Bakura and…
I tried to snap back to reality as Mokuba stopped talking, evidently expecting an answer. Well, seeing that I was "Kaiba" now, I would have to play my part.
"Mokuba…I think I'll try to find the God Card on my own now…" Somehow I had to get the little runt away from me.
Mokuba just blinked, looking a bit confused. "Eh…alright, nii-sama! I'll head back to Kaiba Corp!" Heh, gullible. I couldn't help my smirk as I watched him run off. I couldn't help but glance in Bakura's direction; he looked confused. I could kiss away all that confusion…mentally shaking my head, I looked away. Not yet, Malik. Not yet. I had to wait until he belonged to me, Malik Ishtar. I wouldn't take him as Kaiba; I would make sure that Bakura feel in love with me and me alone.
I decided to see what my yami was doing with my body. As long as he didn't interfere with my plans, he was no concern to me at the moment. I looked towards the alleyway where I'd left my body, but he was already gone. Well, he probably won't bother me. All I have to do now is lose Bakura.
*Yami Bakura's POV*
What the hell?! At first I thought Malik was up to something…his Millennium Rod was glowing. I tried to keep an eye on him, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. All I know is that for some reason his yami came out and began laughing about something. It was too suspicious. Before I knew it, his yami was wandering off somewhere. Hm, I know he's more ruthless than Malik; perhaps I should keep an eye on him.
I turned back to the current situation of the Kaiba brothers. What the--they're gone! Emitting a low growl, I bound of the alley, ready to hunt Kaiba down. I looked in the direction Yami Malik had gone, and I was about to head that way when my Millennium Ring began to glow. Looking down, I brushed my denim over shirt out of the way, picking up the Ring around my neck. What's it doing…?
The golden relic was glowing brightly by now, and the dangling particles began to move. They raised, as if pulled by a magnetic force, pointing...to my right?! But Malik had gone down the alleyway in front of me…
Well, the Ring has never lied to me before. I'm sure it's important. Ignoring Malik, I raced towards wherever the Ring would lead me…
*Malik's POV*
Heh, this was working out better than I expected. While Bakura was conveniently distracted by my yami, I lead Kaiba's body away from them both, as far away as possible. I could feel Kaiba's soul protesting, although there wasn't much he could do; until I leave his body, I have complete control.
I lead our poor helpless Kaiba into an area between two tall buildings. I couldn't let anyone see what Kaiba was about to do to himself…heh heh heh…
*Normal POV*
Large screams of terror rose from the small crowd and the surrounding area. A loud "huh huh huh" echoed off of the walls as duelists of all types ran from the scene. There stood Yami Malik, cape blowing in the wind, holding the glowing Millennium Rod.
*Malik's POV*
Hmm, I thought I heard something. It sounded like people screaming…strange…shrugging, I returned to the problem at hand. Until I could think of a plan to get rid of Kaiba, I might as well bring him into mental distress. I tried to make contact with his soul, seeing that we were in the same body. Even though I didn't have my Rod, it was fairly easy. Possessing his body had taken much effort, so it would have been useless anyway.
"Kaiba…"
There was a silence for a moment, until I heard a small groan. Evidently he was under a bit of mental stress; being possessed doesn't do much for your body either.
I tried again. "Kaiba…"
"…What's happened…?" Heh, he was unconscious that whole time. His spirit had been protesting and he didn't even know it! I know that he was the high priest of the Pharaoh in the past, but I'm impressed. Well, he doesn't need to know the truth.
"Don't even try to control your body…I've taken it over…don't worry, it won't affect you…much…" I couldn't help but smirk at my cleverness.
"…What do you mean…? Where's Mokuba?" He sounded so helpless. It was too much to bear to know that I had Kaiba at my mercy.
"Mokuba will be fine…perhaps you will be too if you follow my instructions…" Heh, he'd be fine…covered in blood, that is.
"Who are you? What do you want?" I knew he didn't trust me, but he didn't need to. I could just avoid those questions.
"Tell me, Kaiba, how do you feel towards Bakura?" I couldn't help but take advantage of the opportunity.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Ooh, I'd touched a soft spot, I suppose. Just as I'd suspected.
"You know he's in love with you." I got every bit of reaction I needed just from that silence.
"It doesn't matter anymore! Soon he'll be in love with me, after you're dead, and there will be no one to mourn for you…" I blocked him out completely and began forming a plan on "Kaiba's" supposed suicide.
*Yami Bakura's POV*
I continued to race forward, the metal clanking as it shifted towards the direction it was leading me. Something about this didn't feel right; I could almost sense that something was wrong. I'm not sure what, but the source is probably Malik. With this thought in my head, I could only grit my teeth and run faster.
* * *
There are just too many times that people have tried to look
Inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind a
Afraid to say what I need to say
too many things that you said about me when I'm not around
you think having the upper hand means
You gotta keep putting me down
but I've had too many standoffs with you
And it's about as much as I can stand
so I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

(A/N: Sorry about the Yami Malik thing! That really has nothing to do with the plot. xD I was just in a silly mood. Umm...thanks for more of the reviews! I feel really appreciated. ^^; Lesse...I still need people's opinions on whether I should put up that second fanfic or not! I started it, but I've been working on this one lately. I've already got the next chapter almost done, so keep checking back!)
