Chapter Three:

Disclaimer: Read previous chapters. I don't own YGO. So blah on you. If you sue me, you shall get some pocket lint and maybe a dollar. That's all I have. And a cat too....but she's the devil in cat form...*Cringes* Schizophrenic cat...

"Wow...We've been walking for hours! And still no sign of an exit!" Kalina stated.

Sighing, Kairi nodded, spotting a bench and sitting down. "Man, my legs hurt...and to think, people do this for a living! Walking ALL day for HOURS in this damn building."

"Yeah, but there's got to be an exit, if there's a way in, then there's a way out." Kalina said, sighing and joining Kairi on the bench.

"Hey! I just thought of something!" Kairi exclaimed.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"Well, would anyone be able to recognize us if we talked to them? Like, with the suits and hats and everything?" Kairi asked.

"Well...most likely not, unless it was Pegasus himself. Why?"

"Well, we could walk up to someone, and we could play it off as if we're new here, and we don't know our way around yet. We could say something like, 'Excuse me, we're new here and we're kind of hungry, we can't find the exit and we were planning on going out to eat. Can you show us where the exit is?' Like that! See? It might work!" Kairi exclaimed, seemingly proud of herself for her idea.

"Hmmm....You're right....it just might work..." A few moments of silence, "Okay! Let's do it! Now we just need to find someone...."

Looking around, they both sighed in defeat. There wasn't a single soul anywhere. The halls were a never ending sea of vast emptiness. There wasn't even any doors.

"Now what? More walking?" Kairi asked downheartedly.

"No other options."

"Great....just what my legs need."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After trudging along for what seemed like days in their opinion, when in reality it was only 3 hours, the pair came across a man in the hallway, he was at one of the water fountains. Kairi's face lit up, and, looking to Kalina for permission and receiving a small nod, she walked up to the man.

Clearing her throat to show her presence, Kairi smiled when the man looked up.

"Yes? Can I help you ladies?" He asked politely.

//He seems nice...not many people here are.// (Kalinas' thoughts to Kairi)

/Yeah, he does./ (Kairis' thoughts to Kalina)

"Umm, sir, sorry to bother you, but we're new here, and we were planning on going out to eat, but, well, this is kind of embarrassing, we're lost and we can't find the exit. Could you please help us or point us in the right direction? It would be a real big help." Kairi asked.

Smiling in understanding, the man searched for something in his coat pocket. Finding what he was looking for, he pulled out a folded piece of paper, handing it over to Kairi, who took it questioningly.

"That's a map of this whole building. I don't need it anymore, I basically know this place like my own home."

"Thanks ever so much sir. We really appreciate it!" Kairi said, bowing slightly. Kalina followed, bowing her thanks also.

"Don't mention it." He said, smiling as the two girls walked away.

As soon as they were far enough away, the girls started into a jog.

"Wow....that was easier than I expected! Good job Kairi!"

Laughing, Kairi just smiled.

"Okay...now....it says here that we are on the second floor....so...to get out, we need to head....that way!" Kalina explained after looking at the map and pointing to her right.

"Let's go!" Kairi exclaimed, and the two of them headed off in the direction that Kalina had pointed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hallways, a few left turns, a handful of right turns, two flights of stairs, an elevator, and 5 hours later they were at the exit and walking out of the building into the darkening streets.

Kairi threw her arms into the air and laughed happily.

"Free! We're free!" She cried.

Kalina walked over to her smiling and put her arms down. "Okay, that's enough. Wait to say that until we're far, far away from this place."

Kairi put her arms down and sighed. "Yeah, you're right."

With that, both girls headed down the street towards Kairis' home.
