Disclaimer: Alright. I'll try to make this longer than last time. I know I know. I haven't

been writing the best stuff lately, but it'll get better. This will mostly be Yami and Seto

viewpoints. maybe a little Yugi. I'm trying incorporate Jono and the minor characters a

little more. Not working, ne? I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did Anzu would not exist.

~Seto's Perspective~

Where he was he didn't know. What he was doing he didn't know. Was he crazy?

What was with the stupid trenchcoat he was wearing? Hell, he didn't know. Someone

fucking tell him already.

People passed him by; unknown faces with staring eyes and unfriendly expressions. He

put his hands in his coat pockets, wondering what would become of him. Who the hell

was he? Why did he care whether he lived or died? He sure as hell didn't. Did he used to

swear like a sailor, or was this a recent change?

"Hello, my dear. Are you lost, my little lamb?" an older woman asked him

suspiciously. She had come out of the shadows and was now grasping his shoulder in a

disturbing fashion.

He wrenched his arm from her iron-clad grasp, shaking his head silently as he backed

away. The old woman looked at him with a snarling expression on her twisted, wrinkled

face. She did however go on her way.

He walked for a while longer, his feet beginning to get tired. He wondered if his life

was only a dream. wondered if all of what remained was an aftershock of before he

woke up.

He suddenly tripped, letting out a loud gasp as he fell to the hard cement, landing face

first in a puddle. Letting out a small whimper of pain, he stood up, only to fall back over.

His knee was gushing blood. Dammit all to hell.

Crawling into a dark, secluded corner, he curled himself into a small ball, whimpering

again. Rain started to patter against his forehead, the droplets dripping down into his eyes

as his vision blurred. Sniffling, he curled up tighter, his body shivering as he began to sob

silently.

He wondered what his life had been like before he had arrived at this demented state

of mind. Maybe he had someone who cared about him somewhere. Someone who needed

him more than anything in the world. Maybe somewhere he was loved. He leaned against

the cold brick wall that seemed to surround and entrap him at the same time.

It was cold. He was tired; weary. All he could think of now was where his next meal

was coming from. It had been two hours. a man had to eat. God it was cold. Before he

could even begin to brainstorm a living plan for himself, he had falling asleep, his head

bouncing silently against the street, numbing rain pounding in his ears.

~Yami's Perspective~

Three cities, two towns, and a village in the middle of nowhere. Where the hell was

Seto? Yami circled another block impatiently, looking for something, anything, that

would give him a clue to the whereabouts of his arch-nemesis. Still nothing.

He was beginning to get discouraged again. After all, it had been almost a week now.

Anything could have happened to Kaiba in the state of mind he was in. After all, Kaiba

was now officially labeled DEAD on the news; why shouldn't he believe it too.

Last night he had called Yugi to tell him there was no sign of Kaiba. Apparently his

partner had been watching the news because the second he had mentioned Seto's name,

Yugi burst into a fresh batch of tears.

"Yami, he can't be dead! Please, you need to find him! Prove everyone wrong like you

always do!", he sobbed hysterically. Yami sighed deeply.

"Aibou, if I find him I find him. If I don't. well, you have to accept that I might not

ever find Seto. In any case, I will continue the search for a few more weeks. a month at

the most. If I can't find him by then. Well, I might as well give up." He heard wailing

again on the other end of the phone. Not being able to take it anymore, he hung up, a sigh

of pure annoyance escaping his lips.

Stuffing his hands into the sides of his belt, he walked on. In the village he was

currently in, a festival appeared to be going on. He raised his head, looking through his

bangs as brightly colored fireworks shot up like stars into the sky. Exploding with loud

bangs, they looked like spider webs, or cracked ice on a cold winter's day.

Dammit, shouldn't have thought of that. He shivered silently, having forgotten that

winter had its icy grip on Japan right now. What to do now, he wondered.

Suddenly, he saw a flash. White, brown. were those blue eyes? Dropping the corn

dog he had just purchased, (Why they called them corn dogs he would never know. They

weren't made of corn OR dogs. or so he thought.), he sped around the corner, shouting

loudly at the guy who looked remarkably like Kaiba.

"Kaiba-kun! Wait, can't you just slow down?!", he screamed. The man looked at him,

a frightened expression on his face as he turned and ran in the opposite direction. Yami,

startled, wondered if he were really that scary looking, or if the man was even Kaiba. Oh

well. No knowing until one asked right?

~Seto's Perspective~

He was just walking down the street, minding his own business when someone yelled

something at him. Turning, thinking maybe he had jaywalked or something, her turned,

expecting a cop to be there or something. It wasn't.

To say the least, he was a very scary looking person. He was dressed all in black

leather, belts hanging off of his waist like wings. His hair was a fiery red and spiked high

atop his head. With complimenting yellow bangs, he had amethyst colored eyes which lit

up as he ran toward him.

Scared, Kaiba instinctively ran in the other direction, afraid he was about to be beat up.

It wasn't fun he was sure. So he ran quickly and as fast as he could, gasping for breath as

the man chased him, yelling something at him.

He turned a corner, trying to loose the man as he panted softly, his trenchcoat flying

out behind him. He wished he could fly. It would certainly help him now.

"Kaiba-kun!! Come back! I need to talk to you!", the man yelled. Kaiba? Who was

that? Did that guy know him or something. He couldn't be sure. Maybe it was just a trick

to make him stop running.

A little child, no older than three, suddenly crossed into his running path. Move kid!,

he whispered to himself silently. The child stopped, looking up at him, startled and too

afraid to do anything. He had to stop. If he didn't the kid would be trampled. So he did.

Screeching to a halt, he ran into a few trash cans as he avoided hitting the young boy.

This was it. He was trapped. Moved back into a corned like a stray dog. He looked up

just in time to see the man approaching him. Now he was standing over him.

He cowered back, knowing he was going to die.

KChan: I hope this satisfied some of you for now. Sorry. I have a bit of writer's block at the moment. I know it's not the best. It'll get better hopefully. Next time, we'll see what happens when Yami confronts Seto about his past. Will Seto ever remember his life?
