Disclaimer: I OWN THEM!! MUAHAHAHAA!!! (holds up contract made from a lunch bag and some chalk that says she owns Yugioh)
Bakura: Yeah right... (walks over and lights the bag/contract on fire)
AnimeFan: __ Nooooooo!!!!
Madison: Nice one, Baku! ^^
Bakura: Why thank you, Madi-san. ^-^
AnimeFan: Madi-san? Baku?? All right! Spill it, what's going on between the two of you?!
Madison: Whatever do you mean, AnimeFan? (bats eyes innocently)
Bakura: I still can't believe (is changing the subject by the way) that you haven't updated this in like forever!! Not that I'm complaining though! No, no. After all, the only good story is a story all about me! ^______^
AnimeFan: Well, (the subject change was successful) I have a really good excuse. First their was my dad's computer being unusable for three weeks, then my cousin had a boyfriend she just HAD to talk to every five minutes (and dad's comp, being found during an archeological dig, doesn't have a separate line from the phone), then after three weeks of trying I got a chance to type this...but got writers block cause I didn't know how to bring this out the right way, then I had to return to my mom's home, then I tried to type again but got brain-dead, and finally to top it all off our computer at mom's had some liquid dumped on it so it refused to work properly!!
Seto: Yeah...I know how that feels. (sends a glare towards Mokuba)
Yami: Back in my days we never had these sort of problems!!! We had messengers on foot to carry the word and scribes to write it down as we spoke!!! And if they failed, we sure as hell didn't stand around and wait till they were ready again! We chopped off their heads and got us a new scribe or messenger!
Bakura: Yeah...the good ol' days.
Madison: That's right, dears. But allow me to remind you both, back in your days you didn't even know how to wipe your own asses.
(Seto, AnimeFan, and Madison burst into fits of laughter while Yami and Bakura just glare poisonous daggers at the strawberry haired female)
Yami: Normally, that kind of comment would lead to me sick my High Priest on you. That, though, would normally have led to three hours blissfully spent in the bedroom... (sends a hungry glance towards Seto)
Seto: (squeaks and turns a deep shade of red, also grabbing his rear as if to protect it from some unknown force...)
AnimeFan: Yami! We really didn't need those images! (looks to poor Seto-san) Seto the most! Let's just get on to the story before Chibi Seto wakes up and hears this sort of talk!
(Everyone looks to the small kawaii version of the CEO whose currently curled up in Yami's lap, cat style, lightly snoring away.)
Everyone...even Bakura!: Awwwweeeeee! ~^___^~
AnimeFan: BYE THE WAY PEOPLE!!! If you haven't read my newest story, Angel of Mine, then read this chapter and review...then GO TO IT!! It's an Angel Seto and Demon Bakura story and it's yaoi and the pairing is Y/S, Y/M, J/B/R, H/O. I'm not telling the meanings yet though, but READ IT AND REVIEW!! I'm on chapter two with only 8 reviews to it. Makes me sad cause I know it's a good story! So...READ IT!!!!!! If I don't get at least five more reviews on it I might just abandon FF.net out of shear shame and sadness...
Seto: Isn't that blackmailing?
Bakura: Yep, I must be rubbing off on her... (swells with pride)
Madison: She won't abandon FF.net. Her stories and their reviews are her life.
Yami: True...she does like torching us a lot, but that might not stop her from taking another two month break!!
Yugioh Cast: Point taken... -___-'

Chapter 12
((Unknown P.O.E..))
Dark...everything was dark...
Where am I? He didn't know where he was...
What's this pain? What was this pain, this emptiness? It hurts so very much!!
Fingers grasped the chains that bound him, prying and tearing at the thick steel till they broke away and clanked to the sides of the table.
Light...bright, glaring light...
searing hot...so hot...
The screams...no...NO!!
Leaving the wrists he went for the ankles, prying and tearing the offending binds of his other fellow demon. Sweat poured down his face, the distant yet numbing pain that never ceased to end continuing to eat away at his insides.
Malicious laughter...haunting and cold...
Blue eyes covered by brown hair...pure evil reborn...
Trust betrayed...the loss of a loved one...
Pulling away finally, he inspected his work with each exhausted pant. The pain...it was so much, to much. He would get his revenge. He would find that which once filled the gap in his heart. And blood would be shed as he made the one who did this pay.
Blood everywhere...a golden glint the last he saw...
But his heart was not dead...no...he was still alive...
He would find him again...his heart...his life...his abiou......
((Seth's P.O.E..))
He felt woozy and confused, a dull pain aching in his chest. But he refused to open his eyes, he didn't want to see what waited for him in the unforgiving world called reality. Only until the feel of something heavy being removed from his wrists and ankles did he attempt to wake up. His bonds...someone had removed them. Blue eyes opened halfway, his site was blurred and he could barely make out shapes but he did recognize the flash of something soft and silver above him.
Pegasus...?
Whatever it had been did not show itself again, and he was once again alone in the dome shaped room. This time, however, he was plagued by an awful empty feeling...like he had lost a part of himself. It hurt...oh gods did it hurt, but not in the usual painful way. It was a numbing pain, dull and constant to an almost painfully annoying point. It rendered him crouched over and begging for it to go away or for his death to come quick.
After a while, the pain died down to a more easily ignored level...though it did not go away. Seth opened his eyes again, ignoring the two rebellious tears that escaped down his face, and looked about himself now that his vision was less blurry. He was, as he had suspecting, in the dome-shaped room. However, he was the only breathing soul in the vacentaty. Even the table across from him where puppet Yugi had lay was empty.
Pushing himself to a sitting position, Seth's hand settled on something square and flat. Gazing down he found it to be a card carelessly dropped on the table by someone. Flipping the card over his eyes widened in shock before a wave of understanding came over him. So...that was who had been there in the room with him. The person who had freed him of his bonds. Taking this card, he gently tucked it safely away in a pocket in his leather pants, first casting a no-bend spell on it to protect the small item. Its master would much prefer to get it back in mint condition after all.
Pushing himself from the table, Seth steadied before managing to walk a few steps towards the door. His backside didn't hurt, thank whatever god out there, so he knew Pegasus hadn't had his way with him yet. But he still felt a bit off. It was only till he arrived at the exiting door did the pain in his chest suddenly multiply by ten, sending him to his knees with a suffering gasp. Suddenly emotions rushed throughout his body; pain, terror, hate, and pity. The terror was by far the most powerful, leaving him shaking in a cold sweat.
What's going on? What is this?
Gulping, he forced his eyes to open and stand up again on his two wavering feet. Whatever this was that was coursing through his system was not his own. But who was frightened so much? Who was the person in pain and why could he feel their emotions?
((Flashback...))
Seto ran a shaking hand through his hair, sweat mixed with recently shed tears staining his face. Then he lifted his hand to the door and rapped his knuckles against it. What would he say...how can he explain this to them? After a few shaky moments the door opened slowly, sad brown eyes peering out at him through golden hair.
"K-Kaiba." Joey whispered his acknowledgment.
It was more of a statement then a surprised greeting. Seto silently wondered if Wheeler had been expecting him.
"H-hey...could I come in?" He quietly responded, motioning for Joey to let him in the house.
Joey blinked and sheepishly stepped aside to let the brunette in. Seto accepted and hesitantly entered, greeted by the site of all of Yugi's gang and a tearstained Yami's stare. He was shocked to see them all, even more to see Yami in the same state as he. Could they...no, there was no way they could know yet about what happened!
"I...I've got some bad news. Yugi...he's-"
"We already know," Yami frowned, his voice as shaky as Seto's.
Seto stared at him in shock, "B-but...how could you know!? You weren't there when-"
"Kaiba," Yami cut in, "I already explained this once. Yugi and I shared a link, when Yugi was happy, I could feel it. When he was sad or scared, I'd know. And when he died...I felt a great emptiness. A loss."
He just stood there, not knowing what to say. Yes Yami had explained this once to him, but like with the whole pharaoh thing he had simply not believed it.
"What we don't know...is how he died," Yami said to break the silence in the room.
((End Flashback...))
Was this it? Was this pain and fear in him someone else's? Yes... Seto forced it down and shoved his way out the door into a dark and deserted hall. He knew who's pain and fear, pity and hate he was experiencing. And his own fear of what that bitch could be doing to cause these emotions in his little Yugi surfaced. Most of his life he had chosen to remain in his more human form, only taking on his demonic when he absolutely had to. Only when he was hunting or in need of a safe idea of what was a head did he use his heightened senses to find the creatures around him. Now was that time, he knew he'd have to fight his way out of this place.
And hopefully...er...regretably might have to kill Tea. Did he accidentally say hopefully? Nope, he'd never want to KILL Tea Gardener. It would be much more fun to keep her alive as he tortured her.

AnimeFan: There! I finally did it! And before the keyboard screwed up on me to! ^_^
Bakura: Pht, dumb ass. Now how do you expect to go about the next to chapters?
AnimeFan: I...do not know. But I'll figure it out! I'm estimating the ending of this story in about two to three more chapters. That and I'm considering doing a sequel to this. Hopefully it'll turn out better and stay on track then this one. I've already set the stage for it, hint: the other POV.
Madison: Ohhh! So that's what the Unknown POV is for. Hmm, you should do a sequel, the unknown POV person sounds like an interesting problem for a second story.
AnimeFan: Yeah, but I bet you can all guess who the unknown person is that freed Seto-san. I mean, there aren't that many people with abiou's and silver hair. Anyway, read and review people! Check out my story, Angel of Mine, and also take a look at my website! The URL is in my bio and it's a really cool website! I'm proud of it. It's sorta Yami/Seto or Seto/Yugi based however. I've got TONS of shounen ai pictures, a new argument, links to other sites with stories or manga, and more japanese words to learn!!! ^_____^ YEAH!!
Yami: Dear gods...let us leave, NOW!
Yugioh Cast: Yes sir! (everyone leaves quickly before she gets any ideas)
AnimeFan: HEY!!! Get back here, all of you!!! (chases them with a bishi net)
