lil angel/devil: So sorry for the delay! But the chapter is finally up! Oh, and I changed the secondary genre from angst to humor. I realize that I am getting nowhere with angst.

Marik: Because you're a bad writer.

LAD: Shut up!

Marik: *smirks*

LAD: *ignores Marik* This story is more humorous than angsty, although it isn't that funny.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! How many times to I have to tell you this?!

Seto Kaiba's Little Sis

Yami and Hikari...and Aibou

Ryou Bakura traced the outline of his Millennium Ring absently. He was slightly disturbed. Ryou frowned. His Millennium Item hadn't been working since six days ago.

"I wonder what's wrong," said Ryou softly. Sure, his yami could still appear and disappear whenever he wanted, but the Ring didn't zone in on other Items anymore, and none of its other powers have worked either. It just stopped.

"I suppose it was for the best," thought Ryou. "Now Bakura can't hurt anyone anymore."

I heard that growled Bakura from inside his soul room.

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

"I feel so much better now," said Setra at Domino High.

"That's good to hear," said Shizuka.

It was Friday morning. Shizuka and Setra were in class, waiting for the bell to ring.

"How was lesson with my brother?" asked Setra, smiling slyly.

Shizuka, who didn't notice this smile, answered, "Well, I guess it was okay, but he was so hard on me and I kept making a lot of mistakes."

Setra's smile grew wider.

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

Yugi wasn't paying attention in class. Instead of working on the handout he was given, Yugi was having a conversation with Yami.

I'm worried, Yugi said Yami.

Why? asked Yugi, concerned.

It's the Millennium Puzzle

Is something wrong with it?

Yes. Haven't you noticed that our connection through the puzzle has grown weaker?

Sort of, I guess

Besides that, the mystical properties of it has, well, disappeared

What do you mean disappeared?!

It doesn't do the things it used to do. Yes, I can still appear from the puzzle, but only that

Yugi was interrupted by a sharp voice.

"Mr. Motou!"

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

Setra walked home that day, whistling. She was in a very good mood. Her science project with Shizuka had received an A+, and her plan was going perfectly.

Hmm, I think I'll stop by the museum today, she thought.

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

Setra arrived at the Domino Museum ten minutes later. She wanted to talk to Isis.

She went up to the front door. There was a sign on it that said, "Closed."

Setra frowned. Why would the museum be closed at this time of day? Setra decided to enter anyway. She tried the doorknob, which, to her surprise, wasn't locked. She entered the museum. It was deserted.

By instinct, she went to that little ol' door that said "Do Not Enter." She went in.

Setra heard voices. She took a peek at what was going on.

Isis, Yugi, and his friends were all there discussing...Millennium Items. And there were two other people too: a guy with light blonde hair wearing jewelry, and another man with a white turban on his head.

Setra tried to listen.

~~~~~

"I don't know why, but my Millennium Item isn't working," said Yugi.

"None of them are," the man with turban said.

~~~~~

Setra saw his eyes as he spoke. Weird, she thought, they have no pupils.

~~~~~

Ryou spoke up. "Why is this happening?" he asked.

Isis shook her head. "I don't know. That's why I called Shadi and Malik here," she said.

The man with the turban looked thoughtful. "Maybe we should let your yami out," he said. "Perhaps they sensed something."

"Would that be wise?" asked Ryou. "You all know how my yami is."

"My yami is even worse!" said the guy with the blonde hair.

"They won't be able to hurt anyone," said Isis. "They have no powers."

~~~~

What are they talking about? thought Setra. What powers? Who are those two guys? And what's a yami?

~~~~

Ryou, Yugi, and the guy with the blonde hair all glowed briefly. When the glow disappeared, the three boys weren't themselves anymore.

Yugi was taller. He seemed more mature, and wiser too.

Ryou's hair was a good deal messier. He looked so sinister, mostly because of those sharp eyes.

The guy with the blonde hair didn't change...much. His pupils were smaller, and he looked more evil.

~~~~

Setra gasped. What happened to them?! In her astonishment, a pencil rolled out of her backpack. But how, she did not know. She stepped on it by accident...and slipped. The contact made by her body and the hard floor created a loud THUD!

Naturally, Yugi, his friends, Isis, and the two other guys heard it. They looked toward Setra.

Setra picked herself up. "Ow," she muttered, rubbing her head.

She noticed that the others had all seen her. "Hehe," she said nervously, "Hi guys...."

"What are you doing here?" asked Isis.

Setra smiled, timidly. "Uh...I was just passing by and...what are you looking at?"

The newly changed Ryou and the guy with the blonde hair were both gazing at her intensely.

"Why does she seem so familiar?" said the guy with blonde hair.

"She's Kaiba's twin sister," answered Anzu.

"Who are those guys anyway?" asked Setra, pointing at the man with the turban and the guy with the blond hair.

"He's Shadi," said Isis. "And he's Marik, my brother's yami."

"And who's your brother?"

"Malik," replied Isis.

"And who are Ryou's and Yugi's yami?" asked Setra.

"I'm Yami," said Yugi's yami.

"Huh? But I thought that a yami meant the...um, how do you say it...the changed form of the original people...." said Setra, confused.

"It is," said Yami. "But my name is just Yami."

"And those 'original people' are called hikari," said Shadi.

"Oh," said Setra. "So Yugi is your hikari?"

"Yes," answered Yami. "Yugi is my aibou."

"Huh? But I thought that it's called hikari!" said Setra, more confused than ever.

"Hikari is formal; aibou is informal," said Shadi.

"Oh, that explains it. So what's your name?" she asked Ryou's yami.

Ryou's yami didn't answer. He just growled.

Setra looked at him quizzically. "What's up with him?"

Anzu answered that question. "Uh, you know how Ryou is like, right? He's really nice and stuff...but his yami is, well, the opposite of that."

"Oh," said Setra. "But I don't know why he won't tell me his name. So I suppose I'll just have to stick with calling him 'the not very nice Ryou' but that will be too long. So maybe just plain old 'Ryou's yami.' Oh well, I'll make up a decision somehow. So I guess I'll call him Ryou's yami or maybe something else..." Setra continued to ramble on and on, earning some very skeptical and confused looks from the others.

Ryou's yami couldn't stand it anymore. "Oh for the love of Ra, call me Bakura and shut up!"

Setra chuckled. "Yup, that gets them every time," she said smiling.

The others sweatdropped.

"But anyways, how do you get a yami?" asked Setra.

"It's a long story," said Isis.

"Go ahead, I have plenty of time to spare," replied Setra.

"It's very confusing. You wouldn't understand."

"Try me. I'm not Seto Kaiba's sister for nothing."

Shadi cleared his throat.

This was going to be a long day....

lil angel/devil: Again, I apologize for the delay! And I'm also sorry that this chapter doesn't focus on Seto and one of the YGO girls. But this part needs to get out in order for future chapters to work.

Shizuka: And one more thing! This is the last time you get to vote! I repeat, this is the last time you get to vote!

LAD: Exactly! Who will Seto be paired up with? Isis? Anzu? Shizuka? You choose. So vote!
