Kaiba raced though the giant office building. 'One minute she's standing
before me, another she's gone. I felt her arms around my body but I
couldn't feel her at all.' Lightning clashed outside the building. The roof
was in clear sight . . .Kaiba darted up the flight of stairs. He walked
with great care across the long rooftop. 'He claimed . . .'
"So you came, like I thought you would . . .love is as powerful as they say."
"You wanted a duel . . ."
"I never said that I'd duel you now . . ." the voice echoed against the thunder.
"Why don't you come out and show yourself!" Kaiba yelled, "If you aren't a coward!"
"Who are you calling a coward Seto Kaiba? If you really want to get in my little conflict with your little friend then who am I to object but I warn you, I'm more then you see." Thunder stuck the Kaiba Corp. building. A figure's shadow was cast within Kaiba's eyes. He turned and walked slowly back into the office, like a defeated cat that didn't catch his mouse. 'He will pay for his foolish act of sending her mind to the Shadow Realm. I swear that man will fall to his pathetic knees or my name isn't Seto Kaiba.'

I am falling . . .falling in an endless pit of darkness. How could I fail Marik and at the same time still hurt the one I care so much for? I . . .I didn't know it then but, I love Seto. There I said it! I love Seto Kaiba!! When we kissed that day when I went over his house, it was for a reason . . . like it was my destiny. But I guess I shouldn't think about destiny now, I'm plunging down here . . . probably forever. I guess I won't see Seto again . . .or Mokuba . . .ever.
But it's all over for me . . .my final chapter to my book has been written. Who would think that I, Lila Homes, would end up leaving this world like this? My mind trapped in the Shadow Realm and my body an empty shell. I'd be happy if I could be with Seto one last time . . .at least I died in his arms . . .at least . . .goodbye world . . .goodbye Seto . . .

"SETO!! WE NEED TO GET DOWNSTAIRS!! SETO OPEN THE DOOR!!! BATTLE CITY STARTS IN ONE HOUR!! SETO!!" Mokuba banged at the door of Kaiba's office.
"I tried to get him moving all day sir." Said an employee, "He just won't open it . . .doubt you can get him out of there ether."
'This is odd; it's usually Seto that gets me out of rooms. He NEVER did this! Well, there was Duelist's Kingdom when he left me but Seto would have told me if someone defeated him in a duel.' The door opened a crack. "Seto?" Mokuba ran over to his brother, who was over at. Sitting on he couch with his hands on his head.
"Seto, we need to get downstairs. Battle City starts soon, please I . . ."
"Kid, I'm in no condition to duel right now. So a duel monsters tournament isn't really on my mind right now. I just lost something close to me . . .as close as you maybe . . .and it's most likely that I won't be getting it back."
"But . . .what?"
Kaiba sighed, 'How I'm suppose to tell him. If I got broken from it, I don't know what he'll do. But I guess I can't keep it under raps forever.' "It's about Lila . . ."
"What about her . . ."
"She's . . .she's . . .gone." he let it loose 'I must get revenge on this Marik figure. I'll make him regret the day he trifled with me and her.'
"You mean as in forever." Mokuba whimpered.
"I don't know, but it's possible."
"So what are you doing about it Seto?"
Kaiba smirked, "The solution to all of life's problems, Mokuba, duel. Duel my way to the top of the charts. Nothing's standing my way, not Yugi, not Marik. Their in my turf now."
"So you came, like I thought you would . . .love is as powerful as they say."
"You wanted a duel . . ."
"I never said that I'd duel you now . . ." the voice echoed against the thunder.
