Brood: Hey ho all!

Ryou: You are looking especially happy today, Miss Brood...

Brood: Well, I really don't know why I'm in a good mood....oh yeah....my cliffy.....it goes unsolved. AND NOBODY IS EMAILING ME WITH QUESTIONS LIKE I ASKED!

Ryou: Well, maybe it's because nobody has questions they would like to ask you about you and your co-host...

Brood: Oh yeah, for all of you wondering WHY exactly Ryou Bakura is with me instead of my usual Zutsokaki, well, in a small scuffle to get our original hosts back, I ended up snagging her stand in muse, Ryou, and also Heero Yuy, but he's napping right now. Also in another scuffle, I turned Miss Jade into a housefly and Zutsokaki ended up a pretty daisy flower. Fuu Fuu Choco Taco is also with Miss Jade, did have her tied up in a chair with duct tape...but she got out, and now they are all back to human after a slight blunder on WSJ's behalf.....*snickers* I decided to keep Ryou and Heero for a little bit longer since I wanted them in one of my chapters....

Ryou: *sighs lightly* Have you ever even done a disclaimer?

Brood: .....you're right. I never have before. Will I get sued? Probably not, because Mister Takahashi is such a great guy....*blinks innocently*

~*~Disclaimer~*~ *Joey walks in* Joey: Brood Mayran does not have large amounts of money, international fans, superb bishonen drawing skills, a multi billion dollar franchise, and therefore must not own Yu-gi-oh! And if you did sue her for this, all you would get is a ball of lint, an insane chibi, and her collection of review notices she keeps in her hotmail inbox. Oh, and a McDonalds uniform. If you attempted taking her Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for the suing, she would eat you alive.



CHAPTER 15



Shadi stole quietly through the trees as he neared the camp sight. He could hear with his well trained ears the distant murmuring and tittering of many duelists close by. Every now and then he would catch the sound of an explosion from one of the dueling stations as some creature or another was brought down.

His sandaled feet padded lightly on the dry dirt ground and his long robes swished silently around his ankles, the only marks of his movement. Shadi's quiet advance to the camp took about another fifteen minutes, but soon he was at the edge of the encampment.

He stealthily knelt down behind some thick green brush and peeked over it. There were about four dueling stations with different fields, all customized for the part of the clearing they were in. A shadier part of the clearing had a station with a small portion of dark field, while the other side was all meadow. This was the station closest to him, and he saw a the back of a blonde haired young man dueling. He appeared to be winning, as the girl on the dark side of the field looked mildly distressed.

Shadi's eyes took to scanning the rest of the camp. There were working makeshift showers, which he wouldn't mind using one if there weren't so many people that could see him. There were also many tents set up, as well as a few scattered yet well protected camp fires.

The only downfall of this situation was that there were too many people around to comfortably approach the two people that he was looking at at this very moment. Seated upon a log about one hundred feet away from him or so was Yugi Motou, and with him was obviously the holder of the Millennium Ankh.

He watched with unnerving curioustly as the two spoke, and after about a few minutes or so, they both seemed to come to some sort of agreement, and got up from their log, walking off in different directions. Shadi figured that they meant to meet up later and speak more of the matter.

A smart and gifted boy, Shadi had always thought of the young boy charged with the puzzle. It was no real wonder that Yugi had figured out who held the Ankh, much less knowing that it was on the massive island in the first place.

Shadi decided to pitch some sort of small camp in a concealed location closeby to where he could keep an eye on the young person. This was going to be very interesting indeed....





Ryou rolled over in his sleep, and a hand reached out to touch his pristine white hair. The hand took a small lock of it and toyed with it for a bit before getting bored and letting it go. Then the owner of that hand sat down beside him and rummaged through their bag, pulling out a small bag of crisps.

Big mistake. As soon as they bit into the small crisp, Ryou's eyes shot open without him moving. Years with his own dark side taught him that.

He had his back to his unnamed companion, so they didn't see it. They continued to eat the crisps, and Ryou couldn't help but wonder who was out there and eating. For a fleeting second, he thought it was his own Yami, but a quick feel inside of the Ring confirmed that his darkness was inside still.

Ryou didn't want to risk turning around and facing the person behind him, so he just lay still while they ate. All sorts of things ran through the young man's mind. He wondered who the person was, and if they were safe or not. And why on earth were they just sitting next to him and eating......?

\\Why don't you just let me kill the person, and you can see who it is without them seeing you?\\ Ryou's yami sneered from inside of the Ring. Ryou jumped lightly, then paused, and hoped the person beside him didn't see his movement. He didn't know that his yami was done resting....

\That's....nice....of you, but no. I will not have you trying to kill again....\

\\Aww. Can't my aibou realize that I'm just trying to *help* here?\\ His mental voice was dripping with suppressed vindicity and malice, but with a nice touch of mirth.

\You may just be trying to help, *partner,* but your help has alot more bloodshed than I'd prefer.\

\\You, my annoying little light, are a cranky one when waking up. Now just stand up and leave. This person has no business with you at all. Just gather your things and leave. They probably don't even speak english. I want you to get moving onwards. Now.\\ Ryou's darker half sounded impatient. It would be best not to make him mad, as he had just gotten up also.

\If you say so. But if you get your host body killed, you can't do anything anymore.....\

\\You won't be killed. Shut your large trap. Stand up. Get your things. And get moving before I move for you.\\

At this, Ryou stiffened a little bit. The last thing he wanted was for his Yami to be in control again. So Ryou decided to give it a go. He sat up. The person behind him stopped eating immediatly. Then, he heard a giggle. A female giggle. A female giggle he recognized. A female giggle he recognized and made him want to run for cover.

His head seemed to be turning around on gears, and his teeth chattered lightly. His yami understood, and was now having a wonderful time laughing his metaphysical butt off inside of the Ring.

It was the Portugese girl from the ship. The one who dragged him around the dance floor the night of the party. The REALLY tall one...about six feet tall.

She looked at him with her nearly black eyes and smiled, giggling a bit, and gave him a small wave with her tanned hand. Ryou could do nothing except wave meekly back and give a small appeal to Ra to save him.

Then something crossed her face and then she pointed at herself, obviously realizing that her "true love" did not know her name yet. Then she said, "Teodora."

Ryou got the meaning. He pointed at himself and then said, "Ryou." Then, suddenly, a huge smile broke out on Teodora's face and she leaned forward and gave him a huge hug. Ryou froze and became one with the rock. When she was done with the grip of death, Ryou stood up again and began getting his things together.

Teodora watched him with mild interest and put her crisp bag into her sack. When Ryou turned to leave, Teodora stood up and began following him.

Ryou turned back around to look up at the girl, and looked at her dueling glove. She had twelve so far. Ryou himself had about eighteen or nineteen. He glanced down at his. Twenty actually. All for the better.

"Ryou?" She said, rolling her "r" sound. It sounded like she was saying Rio, like in the Rio Grande. She was stating a question. And that question was obvious to him and his now bemused Yami.

\\Let her come for awhile.....\\

\But, why? She'll....try something while I'm sleeping or something!\

\\Are you saying that she's going to try and ra....\\

\\BAKURA!\\ Ryou broke in quickly.

So after this "internal struggle," Ryou made his face as expressionless as possible and nodded to her. He could almost hear her happiness at his nod. So he started off again through the forest, with more than one companion with him. Leaving Ryou quite miffed.





That night, Yami looked around the slighty straightening corridors of his Soul Room. His doorways were becoming clearer, and some of the staircases were right side up where they had been upside down earlier. Him regaining some of his memories was taking it's toll on his Soul Room's layout.

He decided to delve into his mind to try and see some of his memories. He walked up to a door and opened it, walking inside. He was suddenly in a lavish throne room, recieveing a small group of his advisors.

Yami noticed quickly that one of them stood out wildly, wearing every new fashion as if his life depended on it. Heavy eye makeup, elaborate head wig, lots of golden jewelery, and heavily decorated sandals. Yami suppressed a giggle as he found himself on his throne, taking his place in his memories.

He had no real control over his actions in this state, he could only watch things played out before him before his own eyes.

One of his less bejeweled advisors stepped forward. "Your Majestic Pharoah, I speak for all of us when I say it's time you took your first wife. You are young, and should begin securing your line soon...."

Yami's hand, or Yu-Gi-Oh's hand, rose. Then he felt himself speak.

"We have spoken of this already. I will worry about it when I see fit. Next issue please."

The advisor stepped back, bowing his head and mumbling his apologies to the king.

The more decorated man stood forward. "Illustrious Egypt, I suggest we beautify some of the riverside temples. The latest flood was far beyond our mathmatician's expectations, and some of the temples were flooded when the great rains came. Many of the paintings and pottery have been lost, and the altars are cracking now. Do I have your leave to order them restored?"

Yami could sense his own boredom. "Yes, please do so. We must not have our people worshiping at mediocre temples to our bountiful gods.....next issue please?"

Yami immediatly stepped out of the room. That memory was quite boring. He hoped to find a better one to have a look at.

He found another room, which held the memory of him playing with his long dead father when he was a small boy. Yami looked at the small image of himself playing with a small scarab toy in the palace gardens and grinned. His father took an uncharacteristic interest in the upbringing of his children, something that the Pharoahs usually didn't do, and left it up to the tutors and the wives. Yami had always loved that about his father.

Yami watched as the tall man with a dark violet side lock pick up his small son and swing him onto his shoulders. The young prince giggled loudly and merrily as his father swung him around.

Soon, they were surrounded by the boy prince's five sisters, and the Pharoah put down his son, ruffled his head of spikey hair, and then picked up the youngest two of his daughters. One of them had pretty magenta hair, and another had dark hair like her father's. He swung them on each arm, and the two young girls giggled madly.

The oldest of his sisters, around the age of fourteen, smiled sweetly and sat down, beckoning her younger brother to her. The six year old boy complied and skipped over to his sister. Mahep pulled the boy up onto her lap and began telling him a great story of a wonderful battle in a dark realm, and the prince hung on every word.

Yami felt a sharp tug at his heartstrings and watched his family playing and talking. His sister Mahep had been his caretaker and one of his best friends when he was small. Yami remembered with a jolt that this memory came from the day that her engagement to a middle aged noble had been announced.

She had always been so solemn and beautiful to the small boy, and that day she had especially wanted to delight her brother with her stories, since she would be leaving the palace soon.

He wanted to stay longer and listen to his sister's story in their ancient tounge, and wanted to watch his father play with him and his sisters, but he felt that if he stayed longer, he would begin to shed tears. So, with a heavy heart, he turned around and left the room, leaving the giggling and happy child of his memories behind in the room of his mind.

One door in particular suddenly caught the Pharoah's eye. He stopped in front of it, never noticing it there before. It was most likely hidden behind all of those twists and turns in his soul room before. He looked at the wrought iron door, bolted shut and bound in chains. This sight confused him. He knew it was a mental representation of the fact that he wasn't getting in *there* anytime soon, but why was his way barred like this?

Yami sighed and walked back to the main room of his Soul Room, watching a bed materialize in front of him. He flopped down onto the soft matress and soon fell into a sleep. His aibou would wake him when it was time to go and meet the one that held the Ankh. Right now, he felt heavy with exhaustion and his emotions. He needed sleep. Yes. His aibou would wake him. Let him worry about it.





Lisa yawned as she lay down on the soft grasses in the fortress' large lawn area. She pulled out a small plush toy from her bag and cuddled it, falling asleep almost immediately. Mai watched her, then stretched out on the grass herself. She found that yawning was slightly contagious as her mouth opened wide. She stretched out as well and flopped over.

Mai turned to her side and wondered if any other duelists would be able to find the fortress at all, much less find a way through the trees. She sighed lightly and closed her eyes, letting herself bask in the oddly warm sun.

The weather had been taking odd turns since they had gotten to the island. First, it was a little cold, just noticable enough for them to want jackets, and then a mad rainstorm. Mai supressed a shudder and continued on. Now it was getting warm, with a clear blue sky. She figured it was the positioning of the island in the world that made the weather fluctuate so much.

She shrugged it off and soon drifted off to a soft and easy sleep, the sun beating on her skin relaxing her and warming her up nicely, making her feel very lazy.

When she woke up, the sun was no longer over her, but it had moved according to the time of day. It looked to be around four or five in the afternoon. She turned over to look at the young girl, only to find that she had moved close to the fountain.

They were in the courtyard area of the fortress' outside, and had found a fountain there, decorated like a Pegasus. It figured. The statue stood on a pillar that appeared Greco-Roman in structure, and instead of goddeses depicted holding up the pillar, like most of that type of art, there were duel monsters of the pretty female variety.

Mai looked at them closely. Change of Heart. Mystical Elf. Dark Witch. Hibikime. Winged Messenger. It was very nicely done actually, but she slightly felt offended that there was no Harpie's Lady anywhere.

Lisa was sitting beside this fountain, splashing her bare feet around inside the cool water flowing from the winged horse's mouth. She laughed happily as the water splashed merrily into the fountain. Mai walked over to her and sat down next to the child.

"Have you marked this place on your map yet, Lisa?" Mai tried her best not to look nice or anything like that. Anything that she didn't want showing.

"Sure have, Miss Mai! Allllll MARKED!" She yelled this happily as she jumped up and splashed around, getting Mai wet in the process. Mai yelped and then, in a rush of inspiration, took off her own boots and stood in the water as well. The water was deliciously chilled, sending shivers up and down her spine.

"Now I got you, ya little imp!" Mai splashed some water at the young girl, and some of it hit square on it's target.

"Hey! No fair!" Lisa yelled back merrily. She immediatly scooped up water and splashed it at Mai, spattering her clothes.

"Oooh! You are SO lucky that this isn't my good outfit!" Mai kicked up some more water and hit Lisa again.

This continued until it turned into an all out water war, ducking around the statue, throwing water, and being soaked clear to the bone. Soon they were both too exhausted to go on, and slumped out of the fountain, resting on the soft grasses.

"Miss Mai?"

Mai gave a small "hmm?" in response.

"Do you think we'll ever find my sister and Kebby-kun?"

"Sure Lisa. I'm pretty sure they will be able to find out where you are."

"I hope so, Miss Mai. When do you think we should leave to find more diamond chips?"

Mai turned her head to the small girl. "We can rest here for the night. We'll leave this place in the morning, and go out to find our duels. I only need about six more chips, and you still need about ten more, I think."

"Yup!" Lisa nodded, her ponytail bobbing against the ground lightly, and she rolled over, curling up on the grass, allowing herself to bask and dry in the sun.

Mai curled up and did the same, and soon, both were asleep.

/I think we nap too much..../





Keith stood up shakily. The area around him was normal again, and Terrence was tittering lightly in his head. The strange man who was in his head was nowhere to be found. For a moment he thought it was a bad dream, but then realized that this was his reality.

Duke piped up suddenly and told Terrence to hush up. Only not so nice as to say "hush." Then he began speaking to Keith again, telling him about the need to keep moving, and that man was just one more person who's life he had to end to get his pride back.

The pride still looked like a shredded teddy bear. He still didn't have any pieces of the pride yet, and it bothered him greatly. He only had about nineteen chips so far, and needed all fifty five to get into the fortress... Duke immediatly told Keith that he was stupid and that he only needed twenty five. Keith thanked Duke and thought that twenty five was a much better number.

At Terrence's light goading, he managed to take a few steps before stumbling and falling down. He ached so badly. That man had done something bad to him in that dark place, interrogating him like that. He couldn't even remember his own answers anymore. It bothered him more than the lingering fact that he hadn't bathed in five days. Terrence complained a bit about that, but Keith blocked him out. Can't talk. Plotting revenge.

Terrence hung back, slightly miffed at his host and let Duke do the driving. Duke mentally sneered and then proceded to tell Keith of his "game plan." Well, "kill everyone" just kept getting repeated. It slowly imprinted itself to Keith's mind, more and more firmly each time it was repeated. Surely, a grin crept it's way across Keith's face.

He crawled wobbily and picked up his magnum, feeling the comforting weight in his hands. He stood up again, feeling much more oriented than before. He realized then, that Duke was the voice that helped him walk. It gave him a clear straightforward goal, and he knew what he was doing in this state....

Now, it was time to go off his list of people to do away with.....Pegasus. Rebecca Hawkins. Yugi Motou. Jounouchi Katsuya. French girl. Weird guy with Bleached Hair. The list went on an on......





Isis and Otogi had been sitting in silence for about ten minutes now. Isis wore a grave expression, and Otogi had been looking around at the wonderful paintings and decorations of the lavish sitting room. He had wanted to say something to the tense Egyptian woman for moments upon moments now, but he could never think of anything at all.

Otogi finally looked sideways at her and opened his mouth when the door suddenly opened. He had to use all of his self restraint to NOT jump up and shake Pegasus's hand. Otogi squiggled in his seat, but in the helicopter, Isis had made him PROMISE not to get up and do anything hero worshippy to Pegasus.

It was really hard, but he managed to contain himself as Pegasus shut the door behind him and regarded them with a jovial look.

"Togi-boy! Isis! How good it is to see you both!" He smiled and took a seat in a large leather chair, crossing his legs and folding his hands.

Isis looked up at him with an unreadable stare. "Where is my brother, Malik?"

Exactly what Pegasus had expected. "Well, I don't know what you mean, Miss Ishtar...." He smiled at her.

"Please, don't toy with us, Pegasus. I know for a fact that you know where he is." She stared straight into his eyes steadily.

Pegasus eyed her carefully and then sat back. "Miss Isis, I do see that I cannot lie to you." The Egyptian's eyes opened up a little wider. "I do indeed know what is going on with your brother. Well...for one, he is not quite....himself.....if you catch my meaning."

He hoped he could play on their trust. Them being here, no matter how much Otogi Ryouji actually was not involved with this in the first place, was still a threat to his plans. If Malik knew his sister was out for him, he would be distracted from the mission given to him. Or at least his other side. Pegasus waited.

Isis eyed him in return and then spoke. "I do catch your meaning, Pegasus. Now tell me why my Marik* has brought my brother here."

Otogi watched them carefully. He didn't know where he came in in all of this. He simply provided the ride here for Isis in his personal helicoptor. He cast a sideways glance at the Egyptian woman and he sighed lightly.

Pegasus turned his attentions to Otogi briefly. "And what brings you here, Togi-boy? I doubt you have interest in her brother as well? Owes you money, does he?" Pegasus chuckled pleasantly at his small joke.

Otogi looked his idol straight in the eyes. "Mister Crawford, please. If you have any information where Isis' brother is, please tell her......." His voice was filled with concern with the young woman.

Pegasus looked at the both of them. sighing a little bit. "Well, there is no detering you from your course, is there? Very well....I will tell you where your brother is."

Isis' eyes shot wide open, and she regarded Pegasus carefully. What was he playing at?

Pegasus then got an odd gleam in his eye. "Why, I'll even TAKE you to him, Miss Ishtar......" He stood up and turned to leave the room. Isis and Otogi stood up as well, but Pegasus turned around to face them.

"Please, stay in here while I make some arrangements. Make yourselves comfortable, why don't you?" They obediantly sat down, Isis sitting more slowly and cautiously than the trusting Otogi. Pegasus smirked and left the room.

Isis quickly looked at Otogi. "I really do not think we should trust Pegasus, Otogi." Her eyes were grave and Otogi blanched.

"But Isis, he hasn't done anything to us! In fact, he even said he'd take you and I to Malik!"

"Otogi, see things clearly. You have heard only the clean and legitimate things of Pegasus. I am sure that Yugi and his own friends have filled you in on their own time around him?"

"Well, yes, but some of it just seems to absurd to believe! I mean, why would he steal souls and do things like that?"

"Because he *wants*. He wants things that only the power of sealed souls and combined powers can give him. He'll do anything to achieve that goal."

"But what is it, Isis? Why? I just don't see him....."

**CLICK**

Isis' and Otogi's eyes widened at the sound of the door locking.





Pegasus closed the door behind him and then turned his attention to the guard outside of the door.

"NOW you may press the button....." Pegasus grinned.

The guard in the suit nodded and turned around and walked about three paces from Pegasus, to an area on the wall. The guard touched a trigger, unseen, and the panel on the wall slid away revealing a small red button, with a green one underneath of it. There was a small television on it also, recieving the information from the video camera inside of the sitting room. A quick glance that the people were sitting and just talking, and the guard pressed the button.

Pegasus quickly strode over and locked the door, a grin rising to his lips.





Anzu looked around the camp site where they were. Amoura had been dragged off to a duel, and now most of them were watching it. Joey still had a firm hold on Yunet, and Honda would let out a sneeze now and then. Yugi and the others cheered her on, but Yugi seemed distracted for some reason. Anzu had opted to stay behind and watch the duel from the camp so she could guard their things. Somebody had something taken from them awhile back, and the thief wasn't caught, so Anzu decided to keep watch.

Yugi's distant look disturbed her lightly, but she shook it off. Maybe the other side of Yugi was trying to talk to him at the same time. Yugi usually got that kind of look when he did that. Anzu looked over just in time to see Amoura take the last of the life points of her opponent, and cheers rang up from their friends and the people watching the duel.

She giggled and jumped down after taking the chips, and shook the opponent's hand. He then skulked back off to his camp, a friend of his patting his back, reminding him of his other chips. They all came back, and Anzu stood up and congragulated Amoura on her duel. Amoura smiled, then sat down with a tired sigh. Joey sat down and plopped Yunet onto Amoura's lap. She absently patted her kitty while she turned around to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

Mokuba sat down and pulled out his Gameboy again, flipping on a game.

The others sat as well, but it was short lived as Honda was challenged to a duel.

About an hour later, Honda was sitting down with his friends again, less two diamond chips. It had been close, and pulling out a bit of direct damage just at the end was enough to clench the match for his opponent. Everyone cheered him up while he looked at the two vacancies on his glove sullenly. He had about fourteen now, and had about a week to get the other eleven in.

About three hours and five duels later, everyone was tired again and finally slipped quietly into their sleeping bags one by one, drifting off to sleep.

/Partner...wake up please...../

//Hmm....Yu...Yugi? So soon?//

/You sound tired./

//I am actually. I did just wake up......//

/You seem distracted also...../

//I'll be fine. Just looking around inside, you know...//

/I understand. In anycase, it's time to go./





Marik looked at the thick wall of trees in front of him. He grinned slyly and began walking to the only gap in the whole circle of trees open enough to allow passage without having to turn sideways. The way to that area was well hidden, and so far, Marik was the only one who actually knew where it was.

The sun was setting pleasantly on the warm day, and the sunlight played lightly on the already glowing Eye of Horus mark on his forehead. He passed through the gap easily and looked at the looming fortress before him. He had been told of an entrance to get inside of it that required him "press in a code...." He'd let his lighter side take care of that. The first thing he had to do was to find the area with the "code panel."

Like he knew what any of those phrases meant. He was never meant to hear them in the first place, he thought with a small jolt. He pushed the feeling that rose aside roughly and walked up the steps of the fortress. Pegasus had indeed told him where the panel was in the first place, so now all he had to do was find it.

He felt the sides of the outer walls, carefully brushing them and feeling for the small abrasion that was the secret switch.

Soon enough, his efforts awarded him, and he felt what must have been the secret trigger underneath of his fingers. He pressed on it lightly and a small panel ten feet away from him slid away, revealing a little button. A grin spread across his face and he strode over, immediatly pressing the small button.

A larger panel slid away from the wall about another ten feet away, revealing a dark staircase. A small chuckle escaped his lips as he thought about the prey that would be walking into his clutches within forty eight hours.....ahh, the mind of an evil genius. The true fun ALWAYS began when you matched wits with another evil genius....his sadisctic grin grew until he just had to laugh. He descended the stairs slowly, laughing the whole time.





Seto Kaiba was REALLY getting bored. The sun started to set while he was walking, so he sat down and was idly flipping through the rules on his Duelist ID. Those rules only made it easier for him to win these pathetic duels. They were playing by the old Duelist Kingdom rules, for the most part. No tributes was one thing that had stayed. That was the only thing that mattered to Kaiba. He really didn't like the idea of putting too many sacrifices in his deck just to get out his Blue Eyes.

There was one exception to the rule though. If the card specifically designates in it's text that you have to sacrifice something to summon it, then you still do. That meant, to Kaiba, that he still needed to sacrifice three creatures to summon his monster, the God of Destruction, Obelisk. Not that it mattered, he was going to be saving a whole lot on sacrifices anyway.

One thing that changed from the original Duelist Kingdom rules was that you could attack your opponent's life points directly. Kaiba always liked that rule....

Thats when he accidentally stumbled across it. A *DUELIST LOCATOR!* Kaiba's eyes widened as he checked out this very hidden feature. There was a small text at the bottom that said to enter the name of any duelist, and it would pinpoint their Duelist ID's signature on the map. What dumb luck!! These little things were truly amazing! But, why Pegasus wanted that feature hidden from anyone like that was an enigma.

Kaiba tentatively pressed the name "Yugi Motou." The map then showed up with a small red dot on the map labeled "YM." Kaiba grinned. Now all he had to do was go there and eliminate Yugi........

Suddenly another thought struck him. He shook thoughts of Yugi from his head for a moment and then pressed in "Lisa O'Kelly." He allowed himself to feel a little relief as the small dot with her initials by it came up on screen. Now all he had to do was find the girl. He thought he might rest for the night when he saw the sun set earlier, but all of those thoughts were gone. First thing was to find Lisa and make sure she was safe. He really didn't think he'd find her so soon......





Yami had asked Yugi for control before they left the campsite stealthily, so now he was walking along lightly to the designated meeting place. His steps barely made a mark on the ground as the moved.

He did feel that someone was watching him though, and it was a feeling that he could not shake. It unnerved him greatly and sent shivers up his spine. His aibou sensed his discomfort, and told Yami that he felt it also.

Yami no Yugi pushed aside a large piece of brush and stepped into the small clearing. It was night now, but illuminated by the moonlight was the person he needed to see.

He straightened his back and walked over to them. They were sitting straight backed and facing forward, not looking at him. He sat down a small distance away and looked over.

"So..." he said. "Will you tell me what you know now?"
