Chapter 2

Yami peered over her shoulder and Kael shivered. She didn't like this 'Pharaoh'.

"Is something wrong?"

"No. I'm not really a socialiser."

"Why is that?"

"When I first started school, everyone in my class, with the exception of my younger brother, cornered me and pulled and poked my ears and tail."

Her tail swished and she looked down. Yami tilted her chin up and blinked. She was crying.

"What happened after that?"

"My older brother saved me."

She had to be a Kaiba. There was no doubt.

"What's your name?"

"My name is… Kael."

Yami held his anger back. For her sake and Yugi's.

*In the Soul Room *

"I got you answers Yugi. Are you not pleased?"

"I am. But how is she a Kaiba. They don't have a sister."

"Maybe, maybe not. She isn't human, but she is living."

"Are you saying?"

"Yes. Her item brought her to life. She is a duel monster."

*Back IRL *

Kael waved her hand in Yami's face. He returned to his senses and looked her in the face. He recognised the symbol burnt into her head. She was one of the most sacred monsters. Only the most powerful duellists were allowed to use her. It also meant that she had a split soul. She would die soon if she either didn't find the rest of her soul or have a millennium item holder sustaining her. Yami pushed a certain point on her back and wings burst out, blood flowing from her back. She dropped to the ground and snorted.

"You need my help, don't you?"

She stood up and fell forward. Yami caught her.

"You have no idea how much that hurts."

The wings disappeared into her back. Yami carried her to his bed and placed his on her stomach. He went to the bathroom and grabbed a first aid kit. He cleansed and bandaged her back. She didn't feel awkward, as she couldn't. Yami did though.

"You know, don't you?"

"Yes, I know what you are."

"How am I to find half a soul in such a big place?"

"In the darkest place imaginable."

"I… can't. It could mean the death for any who follow."

"How can you just leave your soul for another person?"

He was testing her. She could tell.

"Though I am a heartless warrior, I do not wish others to suffer at my sake."

"Even if they offered?"

"Even if they offered, I couldn't."

She started to walk down the stairs.

"Where are you going?"

"Were else? We're going to be late for school."

He blinked and ran down stairs.

"Wait. I'll walk you."

She smirked and growled at the pain on the symbol.

"Scared I'll get attacked?"

"No. I'm scared you won't even make it to get attacked."

She looked at him and sighed.

"Why do you care so much?"

"I can tell we are going to need your help later."

Her eyes were starting to drop. He placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her some of his energy. She looked down and sighed.

"You can't keep doing that."

"And you can't keep living without a full soul."

Devlin walked up behind them and tapped Kael on the shoulder. She turned and almost blacked out. The rest of Yugi's gang appeared too. She blinked as everyone introduced themselves. She felt dizzy and leant against Devlin. The other dragons were within the group. Only one wasn't there.

"Ryou, Joey, I need your help."

"What's wrong Yami?"

Yami took Kael and led Joey and Ryou a few meters away.

"This may come as a shock, but Kael IS also a duel monster. Just like Kindra and Alex."

"Why do we need to know?"

"Because Joey! She needs our help."

She stood up by herself weakly.

"No I don't!"

She fell backwards into Ryou's arms.

"You see what I mean? I need you to give up some of your item's power for a while."

Bakura forced his way out of the Ring's soul room and trapped Ryou in there. Ryou was pathetic when it came to holding anything up that wasn't Kindra. Bakura picked up Kael and nodded. She had an item and he wanted it. Joey looked at Kael and sighed.

"I don't want to see Devlin grow cold again."

"Good! Now we need to transfer some of our powers to her dagger."

Once this was done, Kael blinked and jumped out of Bakura's arms. She had sensed something from him. He smirked and walked past her. She looked at Yami and saw Seto behind him. Joey also saw this and growled. Yami turned and stepped back. Seto walked to Kael, grabbed her arm and dragged her away. She smiled at Yami and snatched her arm back, walking beside Seto. He slapped her over the back of her head.

"You know I despise him."

The bell rang and she thanked Ra for that.

"See ya big brother."

Seto growled as she ran to class. She sat at her seat and looked to Mokuba.

"What's wrong with Yugi and his friends?"

"I don't know. Their my friends too."

"Maybe I should talk to Seto."

Mokuba could tell there was going to be a huge fight. Kael thought she'd talk to him on Saturday. They were going on a business trip to Egypt and that would be a great place to make him understand. Friday came and she waited for both Yugi and Devlin. Yugi never showed up. Devlin did though. He took her to dinner at a fancy restaurant.

"Is everything ok with you and Seto?"

"It will be after tomorrow."

"Why is that?"

"I'm going to have a talk to him."

"I don't want you to lose your family bond for us."

She laughed to herself. They weren't really family in the first place. It made her think, what would have happened if she hadn't been summoned. She finished and took Devlin to a quiet place. The park.

"Where are you going to be when you have this 'talk'?"

"On a business trip in Egypt. You can come if you want."

"Is it wise to have me with you?"

"He doesn't control me. It would be beneficial for him if you were."

"Then I will come."

She kissed him and smiled. He pulled her into his arms and breathed in the sweet aroma of her hair. Three cheerleaders jumped out of a bush. Devlin looked at them freaked.

"Devie!"

"Who are they?"

"Er…. My cheerleaders?"

Kael pulled out her dagger and sliced through them. Their souls were sent to the shadow realm and their bodies incinerated.

"Well, we better go pack."

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow."

She ran home and immediately started packing. She took her cards just in case. Seto walked in, head bowed. She ignored him and stared at her dagger.

"I'm sorry Kael."

He left and she threw the dagger at the door. It landed right where his 'privates' would have been. She jumped out her window and climbed to the roof. She was there until it was time to leave. She jumped back through the window and grabbed her bags. She thought a minute and grabbed her laptop. She pulled the dagger free of the door and ran to the front door. Seto looked at her and took her bags. They boarded the new Blue Eyes plane. She blinked. There were only three bedrooms. Mokuba was bringing Rebecca along, so why couldn't she bring Devlin. She ran down the ramp and dragged Devlin in. She pulled him into her  room and locked the door. She kissed him and set up her laptop. She instantly opened a file and a new game system appeared on the screen. Devlin peered over her shoulder and corrected a coding error. She sighed and linked two duelling disks she had created to the computer.

"I'm sorry I did this behind your back. I was going to show you sooner and ask if you wanted to use them."

"It's fine. I'm glad it was you that made them and not Seto. I knew someone would make one sooner or later."

She smiled and hugged him. He hugged her back and the laptop finished loading the system onto the disks.

"Time to test it out."
