Chapter 3

She unlocked the door and walked out to the wide lounge room. She walked to the end of the room and smirked at Seto.

"You thought you were the only one."

He saw Duke Devlin walk out with a dueling disk on.

"What is he doing here?"

"I invited him."

The four holographic blocks flew out. Kael smirked as everything was going according to plan. A few hours later, the system was fully tested. It was a huge success. Kael walked into her room and dropped onto the bed. Seto walked in calmly and sat next to her.

"Go away! I'm seriously tired."

"I won't! Why didn't you tell me HE was coming?"

"I wanted it that way."

"That's irresponsible you know."

"Spare me the lecture. You're not my father!"

"According to you, I'm you master."

She had forgotten that detail. There was some turbulence in the plane and Kael went flying through the bathroom door, into a mirror. Seto crashed into a wall. Seto got up and ran to Kael. He looked at her with tears in his eyes. She had glass stuck deep in her back. There was blood and glass all over the bathroom. She stood up and clenched her teeth. Seto moved behind her and picked out the glass. She looked at Seto with those 'Don't even think of stopping me' eyes and ran to the emergency hatch. All of them watched as dragon wings sprouted out from her back. Her body flowed with shadow flames and she jumped out of the plane. She was watched out the window. She flew under the plane and landed it safely. When she was sure everything was ok, she collapsed and fell unconscious. Mokuba jumped out of the plane and picked her up.

"I want this plane up and running in less than half an hour."

"Yes Mr. Kaiba."

Seto helped Mokuba pull Kael up into the plane and placed her on a couch. Devlin knelt beside her and Seto pushed him away.

"Don't go near my sister!"

Seto punched Devlin and growled. Devlin swung back. Kael opened an eye and growled. Seto stopped and ran to her. Kael looked at Devlin, his face bruising and punched Seto. He blinked and walked off. She sat up and her wings vanished.

"Suppose I should have got some sleep last night."

"You stayed up all night?"

"I barely landed the plane."

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

"Are you alright Kael?"

"Just really tired. I was thrown into a mirror."

"Is there any…"

"No. Seto took it out. He had tears in his eyes, ya know."

"At least you won't die."

"I can't heal by myself anymore Mokuba! I need to talk to Seto."

Devlin helped her to Seto's room. Seto turned his back on her.

"Leave."

Devlin left her and she closed the door, falling to her knees.

"Why do you hate them?"

He didn't say anything.

"Do you have to hate Devlin? He was just like you."

She pushed her limits to stand.

"Just don't hit him again."

She leant against the wall and went to bed. Devlin laid next to her and she curled up to him. He smiled and fell asleep with her. Seto checked on her and frowned. When they arrived, Kael staggered out and passed Seto without saying anything. Seto lost his anger once he saw the city of Cairo. The rest got out of the plane without trouble. Kael looked down and just dropped. Devlin had his eyes wide open in shock. She flipped a few times before landing in a crouched position.

"Kael… you can drive someone mad doing that."

Her eyes flickered to Seto.

"I already know that."

Apparently, business was with the Ishtar family. Seto knocked on the door and Rishid opened it. Kael was to busy climbing to notice the others had gone inside. Something caught her eye. The Black Market. She jumped down and walked past the streets. At the Ishtar residence, Isis was cooking dinner. Rishid walked in and took over. Isis walked out and greeted everyone. Seto smiled and hugged her.

"Nice to see you again."

"Likewise, but where is your sister?"

Seto looked around and cursed.

"She must have been separated from us."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Isis went to see who it was. It was Marik, with Kael. She wasn't in good shape.

"I would've walked straight in, but I can't carry her and open the door."

"What happened?"

"She picked a fight with one of the most notorious thieves."

"As opposed to you little brother?"

Marik grinned and laughed. Seto ran over and sighed in relief. He couldn't stay angry at her for long. She looked at Seto and tried to walk out. Marik was the only thing in her way. Isis wondered why she was trying to get away from Seto. Marik had been a good friend to Kael when Seto, Mokuba and her visited years before. He pushed her into a room and made her sleep.

"Seto, why did she try to run?"

"We had a fight before we arrived."

"Now, I'm not going to lie to you, but she may not live for much longer."

"Why do you lie like that?"

"I just said I wasn't lying. Remember when Yugi refused to take my item. I had a premonition of her dieing soon."

Isis walked into Kael's room, dragging Marik with her. They used the items to slightly heal her. Isis walked out and looked at Seto.

"All warriors must die eventually. Did you know she has only half a soul?"

"Is that what's causing all the problems?"

Isis nodded and looked down.

"I think Yami already knows."

Kael looked about the darkness of the room. She sat up and sensed Marik sleeping on the floor. She walked out of the room and opened

Seto's door slightly. She peeked in and almost lost her balance. Seto was atop Isis, naked. She was scarred for life. She closed the door. She knew Mokuba would be with Rebecca. She couldn't really talk to Devlin. Everything was so complex. She walked out the front door and sat on the steps. The same thieves as before were loitering around. She snorted and glared at them.

"Do you really want my dagger that bad?"

"Not us, the master."

"Allow me to demonstrate the true power of my millennium item."

The dagger floated above her hand. It extended to sixty centimeters and replicated. She grabbed them and held them in a back-handed position.

"There will be no return from this."

Only one thief dared to attack. She was telling the truth. The rest ran away, unwilling to live in the shadow realm so helpless. The two 'daggers' turned back to it's original form and she placed it under her shirt. She walked back inside and put Marik on the bed. She walked to the lounge room and slept on a couch. She had the same nightmare of darkness and blood. Someone was trying to wake her up. Devlin knelt down and kissed her deeply. She opened an eye and smiled.

"Have a nice sleep?"

"The beds are extremely soft."

He moved the bangs from her eyes.

"So is this what you call beneficial?"

"You'll understand soon enough. I must make him realize that Yugi is a nice guy."

"Is that it?"

"If you want Seto to accept you, yes."

"That will be impossible."

"Not to the determined."

She leant over to hug him, but ended up falling on him. Seto walked out and growled.

"Get away from her!"

"Why should he? When you and Isis had sex last night. I don't understand you Seto."

"Kael…"

It was too late. She had run out and into the desert. She never once faltered.

"I'm sorry to put you through this Isis."

"It's fine. She must really love Devlin."
