8.10.03- Blah. I don't need a note here. This is going up at the same time as the first chapter.
Not sure if the chapter title really fits. It's 1:30 AM and my brain is dead, so I just looked up a list of the top 50 oxymorons and chose one. Heheheh.

Chapter Two: Passive Aggression
"So, wait, Kaiba-kun, let me get this straight." Yuugi gave a sigh that was audible through the phone. "You have a girl at your house who claims to be from Ancient Egypt, when you were a High Priest to the Pharaoh, and the two of you apparently know each other. Do I have it right?"
"Yes, that is correct." Seto glanced at Kisara, who was currently engaged in playing fighting video games with Mokuba. (She, however, seemed more interested in the TV than what was actually happening in the game, and was gazing in wonder at the screen as her character was being beaten to a pulp by Mokuba.)
"I see. And you have no idea how she got here?"
"No idea whatsoever."
Yuugi paused. "Well, I guess you'll just have to deal with it, then."
"I… WHAT?!"
"Wait, Kaiba-kun, calm down!" Panic was evident in the boy's voice. "There's really nothing you can do, right? You can't just throw her out into the streets, that would be cruel."
Seto was silent. He'd never seriously considered the thought, but it had crossed his mind a couple times.
"So you're just going to have to take care of her until you can figure out how to get her back into her own time. I'm sure you can handle that, right?"
"I suppose…"
"Seto, what's that?" Kisara had ventured over to where he was talking and was pointing at the telephone receiver- at least, Seto could only assume that she was pointing. He had given her some of his old clothes to get dressed in, but they were still way too big for her, and the sleeves drooped over her hands with several inches to spare.
"This, uh… just a second, Yuugi." He forced a smile towards her. "This is a telephone. You talk to people far away through it."
"Wow…" She stared at the phone, then grasped it in her own hands. "Can I talk in it?"
"You, uh…"
Kisara pulled the phone away from him and put it to her own ear. "Hello?"
"Uh… hi?"
She smiled broadly at Seto, hearing the voice coming through the device. "Hi! I'm Kisara!"
Yuugi chuckled. "I'm Yuugi. And, actually, Kisara…" He paused. "I have someone here who would like to talk to you."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, just a second." There was another pause, and then she heard a different voice come through the phone. "Hello."
Kisara gasped and dropped the phone on the floor. "Seto!"
Seto grabbed the phone and glared at her. "What was that about?"
"The Pharaoh was talking to me!!"
"What? Oh…" He lifted the phone back to his ear. "Sorry about that, Yuugi."
Laughing, Yuugi answered, "Oh, that's okay. Do you need any more help?"
"No, I think I'm okay. Thanks." At that, he hung up. "Mokuba, Kisara, get in the limo."
"Huh? What for, Nii-sama?"
"What's a limo?"
Short!! ARGH!!!! If I get reviews I'll have the next chapter out tomorrow… er… later today, or tomorrow. I mean, REALLY tomorrow.
