Anzu opened her eyes, she was met with pure darkness. 'Where am I?' she wondered, thinking back to when she and Yami had fell through the floor. 'Wait. . .where's Yami?!' she quickly stood up and looked around in the darkness. "Yami?" she stretched her arms out and started to search. "Yami where are you? Yami?"

"I'm here, Anzu." Anzu felt his hands grab her waist.

"Oh thank god. . ." Anzu leaned back on him. "I thought you were gone. . .I thought I was alone here."

"I'd never leave you like that."

Anzu blinked and blushed, thankful that he couldn't see her. 'He'd never leave me. . .' she thought. "Yami. . .who was that trying to kill us? And. . .who is Teena?"

Yami sighed and held Anzu close to him, he couldn't see her, and he knew that she couldn't see him, which made explaining this a little easier for him.

"Teena. . .was you. You were Teena back in Egypt. . .and Teena sent Kasi to the Shadow Realm after she tried to steal the Millennium Puzzle." Yami said. "And. . .now I guess that she's back she is looking for revenge on Teena. . .or. . .on you. . .Anzu. . ."

Anzu felt her breath catch in her throat. ". . .so. . .this means. . .I'm running for my life now. . .?"

Yami nodded slowly and rested his head on hers. "Yeah. . ."

"Yami. . .I want to get out of here. . ." Anzu whispered. "Please. . .find a light or something. . ."

"Jou!" Mai screamed, she ran behind the blonde boy frightened out of her wits. Before them stood Kasi, she looked at them evilly.

"Jou and Mai. . .wonderful. I'm so happy that I found you!" Kasi said.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Jou asked, holding up a leg of a chair at her.

Kasi smirked, her fangs showing. "Well. . .I figured that since I've taken care of Anzu and Yami that I'd pick off the rest of you."

"Anzu and Yami?" Mai hollered, her knees growing weak at the thought of them being dead.

"No. . ." Jou's eyes narrowed. "Your lyin'!"

"Oh I'm afraid not, Jou." Kasi said. "Right now they are dead. . .and now, you two will follow."

"Jou. . ." Mai grabbed his arm. "Jou think of something. . please. . ."

Jou suddenly felt his stomach flip over. 'What am I gonna do?! This is the real deal. . .a real vampire. . .how am I going to save Mai?'

"I see fear in your eyes, Jou. . ." Kasi said. "And I hate to kill a cute boy like you knowing that your face will haunt me for the rest of my life. . .so. . .I'll get one of my girls to do it for me." she snapped her fingers as a green haired grey skinned vampire appeared near her. "Guys this is Yuyi. I hope you'll have fun with her. . ." she laughed and disappeared.

Jou's eyes narrowed. "Ah great. . ."

"This. . .isn't exactly what I was expecting to do when we said we were going to 'explore' the mansion." Honda said looking around, he and Yugi had been captured by Kasi a few minutes after the incident with Yami and Anzu in the spikes room.

Yugi sniffed and looked around the stone room Kasi had them kept. "I can't believe it. . .she killed Anzu and Yami. . ."

"Don't believe her Yugi." Honda said. "I sure don't! They can't be dead! You know that."

"But. . .what if. . ."

"No. . ." Honda shook his head and looked down at the smaller boy. "They are still here roaming the mansion. . .and I bet they'll stop Kasi and find us. . ."

Yugi nodded, but was still unsure. 'Please let them be still alive. . .please. . .'

Ryou hoisted Sutomi up on his back and made his way out of the room where the dead maid lay. Marik followed close behind. "What are we going to do. . .we don't even know what's here." Marik said.

Ryou looked back at him. ". . .we need to find Yami and Anzu first. . ." he said. "If anyone knows that's going on its Yami."

"Your right." Marik said.

"How would you like to find out. . .?" Kasi asked rising out of the floor in front of them.

Ryou's eyes widened. "You. . ."

"Kasi. . ." Marik scowled.

"Hai, you remember me." Kasi smirked. "I guess I must have meant something to ya'll."

"Twisted old hag." Marik yelled. "So its you that killed the maid."

"Yeah. . .it was me. . ." Kasi sighed. "And it was also I who did away with Yami and Anzu, and the one who beckoned for one of my girls to do away with Jou and Mai."

"Wh-what. . .?" Sutomi stammered.

"She lies. . ." Ryou said.

"You'd love to think that wouldn't you?" Kasi asked with a heartless smirk.

"They're NOT dead." Marik said, taking out his Millennium Rod and pointing it at Kasi. "Are they?"

"Yes. . .they are." Kasi said. "I made sure of it. . .and by this time so are the rest of your friends aside from Yugi and Honda who are trapped in a room in the attic."

"Liar!" Marik yelled, shooting a purple beam of light at Kasi. It reflected off her. ". . .no. . ."

"You actually thought that could hurt me?" Kasi asked, her smirked grew wider and more evil. Then her eyes landed on Sutomi. "Perfect." she raised her hand and shot Sutomi off Ryou's back.

"Sutomi!" Ryou yelled, watching as the girl was slammed up against the wall. "No!"

"You people sicken me." Kasi said, she waved her hand at Sutomi again, making her body beat across the rock once again, splitting her head open. ". . .you bleed so easily. . ." she stopped suddenly and looked around. "What do you know. . .Teena is still alive. . .I can hear her breath." she smirked at the three. "I'll be back for you later." she disappeared.
