Chapter 5: The Stage Is Set
*Dream Sequence*
"Oh poor, poor little girl. So lost, no one to care for her, no friends, no family. Even your own dark has left you to suffer in my clutches," the dark foreboding voice said, "Now I shall use your powers to control the Phoenix Mage and it's pet to destroy the Pharaoh and his Hikari."
"No!" I shouted out, "Leave them be. I am not alone, my friends will be there for me."
"Oh really," the voice said coming into view, "Then where are they?"
The male figure was tall, thin, and muscular. He wore a long black cloak, black pants, and no shirt. His stark blond hair shone almost white in the darkness, his crimson eyes bore into my very soul causing me to shiver in fear. He walked closer to me and I tried to get away but met up with some kind of resistance. I cringed as he grabbed my wrists and brought me to my feet. He smiled cruelly at my fear. The dark man stepped behind me, taking me into a lover's embrace. I wanted to escape but found I couldn't.
"M-my fri-friends will come," I stammered out.
"You think your friends still care about you," he said softly into my ear causing the hairs on my neck to bristle, "Look… and judge yourself."
I watched as Jenni appeared in front of me, "I don't know why I hang out with you. You're a cripple and I hate being slowed down by you… Cripple… hahaha."
Her laughter hung in the air as she disappeared. Tears stung my eyes and I refused to let them slide down my face. My dark appeared next.
"How pathetic, hehe, you're weak. You're not worthy of my protection," she sneered at me, "Weak, hahaha."
She disappeared and I felt the man behind me pull me closer to him. Seto Kaiba appeared and stared at me with cold, emotionless eyes. A snide smile played across his face.
"Worthless, weak, cripple. Now I know why you can't duel. You're pathetic thinking you can defeat anyone besides a five year old child," he said coldly.
He vanished leaving words of worthless, cripple, weak echoing in my ears. I closed my eyes feeling the tears slide down my face. I let myself go limp in the mans arms succumbing to my despair as my heart began breaking. The man's breath brushed the back of my neck causing shivers to go down my spine.
"That's it. Let the darkness overcome you. Let it rule your life. Allow it to enter your heart and soul," he whispered, "Give yourself to me."
I kept my eyes closed and began to open my heart to the darkness when I finally came to from the anime and realized that was where I am. I broke away from the man and smirked at his face.
"Lies. That's all you have shown me," I said recovering my voice, "Who are you?"
"Osirus," he told me, "And you may have broke free from my spell for now, Sorceress, but mark my words it will not last. I will have you under my control yet. For I will have the items as well as the Phoenix Mage and his pet."
At that the man called Osirus disappeared leaving me alone in my mind.
I heard a voice calling into the darkness. I followed it and woke up in a strange bed, disorientated. I rolled over and saw a worried Mokuba looking down at me from where he was perched on the bed. I felt something in my arms and saw that I was hugging the Blue-Eyes plushie. Mokuba giggled at what he saw and I threw my pillow at him. He turned and clobbered me with the same pillow.
Soon there were feathers everywhere and myself and Mokuba were laughing uncontrollably in the middle of my bed. Seto came in trying to figure out why we weren't down stairs yet. I sent a pillow his way and it hit him in the face. He had a surprised look on his face as he advanced on us. Mokuba scrambled off the bed leaving me to the duelist's hands. I tried to move away, but was stopped by Mokuba.
"Traitor," I whispered at Mokuba before facing Seto once again.
"So you thought it funny to hit me with a pillow," he said his cold blue eyes watching me.
"Uh at the moment, yes," I responded my eyes wide in surprise.
He climbed onto the bed slowly making his way towards me. I was kind of getting scared as he advanced further towards me. Soon he was nearly on top of me and he just stopped. I waited to see what his next move will be. He pounced on me and began to relentlessly tickle me. Mokuba tried to join in but I turned on him and tickled him until he was begging for mercy. Seto sat on the edge of the bed watching his younger brother laughing as he was tickled. I stopped and allowed him to catch his breath. The younger Kaiba sibling scrambled off the bed and ran out of the room.
"Good morning Seto, um… I mean Kaiba," I said.
"You can call me Seto, but please be careful around certain people," he said getting serious, "I have many enemies that won't hesitate to use you to get to me if they know we are close."
"I understand," I told him, "I'll be extremely careful."
"Good, now how did you sleep," he asked me.
I sat silently debating on whether or not to tell him about my dream, "Well…"
"You had nightmares didn't you," he stated seeing my eyes.
"Yes," I said quietly.
"Care to tell me?" he asked.
"Not right now. Maybe tonight if I come over again," I said.
"Knowing Mokuba, you'll be here," Seto Kaiba said, "I have never seen him smile the way he does around you…"
"Well…" I began but the elder Kaiba sibling held up his hand.
"Let me finish please," he began again, "There is something about you that makes people seem to forget about their worries, even if it's for a little while. I hope that you will tell me your story soon."
I blushed at what he said and then spoke, "Soon I will, but now I think we should join Mokuba for breakfast."
He nodded then left the room. It was then that I realized that my dark had not piped in any comments yet which was odd. Maybe she is resting. I put on my brace and got dressed into a long gauzy skirt and a halter top both in the deepest blue possible. I pulled my average length hair into a French braid. Then adorning the braid with tiny jewels. I stepped out of the room and went downstairs to join the Kaiba brothers for breakfast. I walked into the dining room and saw only Seto at the table. He looked up and I saw a small blush grace his pale cheeks. I sat down and served myself some fruit salad.
"Where did Mokuba go?" I asked him.
"He left for Kaiba Land already," Seto told me, "He wants you to meet him there around noon. I think he wants to take you out to lunch."
"Okay. So what are you doing today?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Working," he said.
"Do you mind if I come along for a little while. I need to waste time until I meet up with Yugi at ten," I inquired.
"Yes you can, but we have to leave now," he said getting up from the table.
"Let me grab my deck," I said running up to the guest room and grabbing my bag.
As soon as I came down Seto led us out to the awaiting limo. I got in first and he followed. As the limo pulled away I looked out the window watching Domino City go by. Soon the Kaiba Corp. building in all it's splendor came into view. The limo stopped in front of the building and Seto got out and I followed. The interior was even more exquisite than the outside. I followed Kaiba as he got into the elevator. We went to the top floor where his office is located. He unlocked the door and ushered me in. I sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. while Seto clicked away on his laptop. I saw an update story on the break-ins.
"In local news the police still have not been able to break the case of the card shop break-ins," the newscaster said, "If you have any information on the break-ins call 555-0106."
I turned off the T.V. disgusted by the report. Kaiba was silent as I turned to face him.
"What was that report about?" he asked.
"Card shops have been getting robbed and the suspect has been targeting Duel Monster Cards," I started, "And Mr. Motou's shop was one of the ones broken into."
"Yugi's place was broke into?!" Seto exclaimed actually shocked, "Why? What were they looking for?"
"Take me to Yugi's and I will explain everything. Just don't get freaked out by what I tell you," I said.
"Fine, come along," he said heading out of his office.
We got into the limo and I launched into my story on how I got here and the cards that someone wants. I also told him about my nightmare from last night. I sat in silence tears running down my cheeks from reliving the nightmare. Seto sat in shocked silence before shifting to sit next to me. He did something very uncharacteristic of himself, he embraced me. Not like a lover, but as a big brother would his younger sister. I let my tears soak into his shirt and soon took control over my emotions again. I sat back from him and just watched his face.
He sighed before talking, "This is kind of hard to digest, but let me see if I have the gist of things. You were transported here from an alternate dimension, given these powerful cards or at least you and Jenni…"
"Yes…" I said.
"And now one is missing and this guy Osirus wants you because you control these two ultimate Duel Monsters," Kaiba finished.
I shook my head yes and then turned away. Seto took my hand into his and gave it a comforting squeeze. I looked into his cool blue eyes seeing concern and sympathy towards me in them. I gave him a small smile and felt the limo stop.
"Please don't tell anyone about my nightmare," I said.
"I won't," he said, "I've got to get back to my office, but remember Mokuba wants you to meet him at noon."
"I will and thank you for listening to me," I said.
I got out of the limo and went inside the Turtle Game Shop seeing it cleaned up from last night. Mr. Motou came from the back and saw me at the counter.
"Hello Mr. Motou. Is Yugi home?" I asked.
"He's in the kitchen," he told me.
"Thanks," I said as I went into the apartment.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Tristin, Joey, Tea, and Yugi eating breakfast. I smiled at them and sat down at the table.
"Morning all," I said cheerfully.
"Oh no not another one," Joey said through a mouthful of eggs.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused, "What'd I miss?"
"Too many chipper people in the morning," he complained.
"Oh suck it up. I think it's kinda nice," Tristin said.
"You would only because it's a pretty girl who said it," Joey said.
At that the two of them got into an argument. I sat and watched amazed at the two friends. Yugi seemed preoccupied and had a distant look on his face. I set my hand on his shoulder and he started. I looked at him concerned.
"Yugi is everything all right?" I asked him.
"I'm not sure," he began, "Yami has been too quiet this morning and he refuses to respond to my call."
"You know Princess hasn't said anything either," I told him, "Um have you tried to enter his soul room yet?"
"Not yet, why?" he asked me.
"Because I have an idea, but I am not sure how it will work," I said, "What if I tried to get into your soul room and helped look for Yami."
"If it will work, sure," came Yugi's response.
"Be careful guys," Tea said.
"We will," Yugi said, "Now Jade give me your hand and when I enter my soul room I will try to pull you with."
"Okay," I said.
Yugi closed his eyes and concentrated on entering his soul room. I felt myself being pulled in as well and soon found myself in a brightly lit room strewn with toys. Yugi stood by the door waiting for me. I walked to his side and he led me to another door across from his. I guess this is Yami's soul room. We went in and saw the Pharaoh lying on the floor his head bleeding. Yugi ran to him and tried to stop the bleeding.
I felt the presence of an evil spirit still in the room. I went to Yugi and stood guard. A golden staff appeared in my hands and I felt a new power surge through my very being. Osirus decided to show his face at the moment. He smirked at Yugi trying to help the prone form of the Pharaoh. I glared at him and he knew that I will use my new found power to attack if need be.
"Ah Sorceress, I see that your powers are surfacing, but that won't be enough against my forces," Osirus said.
"Osirus," I snarled, "What have you done to the Pharaoh?"
"Oh nothing really," Osirus said, "Just bound his spirit and an old friend of his got in a few licks of his own."
"The Tomb Robber," I said quietly and Osirus smirked hearing my comment.
"Yes my dear, the Tomb Robber. He has agreed to help as well as your precious Malik's dark half," Osirus said.
Yugi's head shot straight up at the mention of his friends name. He stood up and stepped to my side. Osirus just watche the Pharaoh's Hikari in bitter amusement.
"And what do you think you're going to do Yugi-boy," Osirus said using Pegasus' famous nickname for the teen.
"Yugi let me handle him please. I think Yami needs your attention more right now," I told him softly, then turned on the man in front of me, "Osirus I suggest you leave now and do not bother any of the darks or else taste my wrath."
Osirus backed away from me seeing the menacing glare in my eyes, "This isn't over with, Sorceress."
He disappeared and I didn't feel any more of his evil spirit lingering in the soul room. I kneeled down as best as I could next to Yami. I set my Phoenix staff onto the ground before setting my hands onto the dark's forehead and my other hand sat upon the staff. Soon I felt the power surge through my body and into Yami's it lasted only seconds before dissipating and leaving me to gasp for breath. Yugi watched in concern for Yami and myself.
"Is he alright?" Yugi asked quietly not wanting to hear the bad new.
"He's fine. The spell cast upon him was weak. I broke it and healed most of his wounds, but he will be weak for a few days," I told Yugi.
Yami began to stir and woke up, "I feel like I was hit by a runaway chariot."
"Yami!" Yugi cried out and embraced the confused Pharaoh.
"Did I miss something?" he asked truly confused now, "And why is she in my soul room?"
I chuckled at the confused Pharaoh, "You remember that evil Jhada told you about. Well his name is Osirus and it seems that he spellbound you and Bakura beat you up."
"Ba-Bakura?! You mean innocent…" he began.
"No, Tomb Robber, wanting all the items, and rule the world Bakura," I said, "Also Marik is back in full evil form."
"Great, just great. Like it wasn't bad enough that we had to deal with the deranged tomb robber and psyco Marik before. Now we get to add on this guy Osirus," Yami said rubbing his head, "So what does he want?"
"Me," I stated, "It seems I am not only your sisters reincarnation, but some type of Sorceress as well, hence the golden Phoenix Staff."
"Golden Phoenix Staff?" Yami questioned, then began thinking, "That staff seems familiar some how, but I cannot pin point it exactly."
"It's okay," I said, "I think myself and Yugi should return. And Pharaoh you won't have to worry about anyone else entering unannounced. I shall construct a barrier to protect you. And for now rest."
"Thank You," he said.
Yugi stood up and the helped me to my feet. Before leaving I chanted a spell in ancient Egyptian and the barrier was constructed around Yugi's and Yami's soul rooms. We entered our bodies once again and Yugi went to call Bakura hoping what was said was not true;. I sat quietly knowing I will probably have to free Jhada. Yugi returned his face a stoic mask.
"Yug'?" Joey asked seeing his face, "Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine, but Bakura is back," he said.
"What?!" Tristin yelled, "I thought Yami sent him to the Shadow Realm or at least part of the spirit anyway."
"He did and now he has returned," Yugi said.
A though just dawned on me, "Um Yugi, Bakura was with Jenni yesterday and she has two of the cards from my world with her."
"Yes?" he questioned.
"If Bakura is back then her cards could have been stolen," I finished.
"Your right. We had better get a hold of her and soon before she becomes one of Marik's mind slaves," Yugi said heading out the door.
