Author's note: Anything you see between *this* is Chiya talking and only Kaiba hearing her, anything you see in 'this' sign is a thought, anything you see in [this] sign is just me blabbing!

ENJOY!

"So the first thing we have to do is figure out a way to get out of here." Kaiba muttered to himself . "Trust you Kaiba to have an office this far off the ground! Have you ever heard of an emergency escape?!" the Dragon's Dark Enchantress had wandered towards the large window that looked over onto the street below.

"I mean, did you think if push came to shove you could just jump out the window and survive?"

Kaiba glared at her back before he shrugged and said, "Well it's not like I haven't done that before."

She sighed then brushing a few stray strands away from her eyes she turned around "You know Yugi is going to think you've lost your mind..." Kaiba's eyes went wide "You mean he can't see you?"

"Did you not hear what I said before?! You're the only one!"

"How come? We were both afflicted by whatever ha-"

"Look I don't know, I tried to talk to him. He just didn't see-or hear- me OK?!" Kaiba stared at her for a bit. "Alright, but let's not cross him out so fast alright? As much as I hate him, he knows a lot about these Millennium items, he just might be able to help us."

She exhaled sharply "Yeah. Well I don't trust him.He sorta' scares me. a little." Kaiba just stood silent for a little then, unable to contain the crazed laughing he let it out; guffawing and taking her by surprise, then while grabbing his stomach and desperately struggling to get himself under control he spoke "Yugi!? Yugi?! Are you talking about that 5foot punk kid with the purple and blond hair?" Kaiba pointed at her, and laughed some more "Hahahahaha! You're afraid of him? Hahahahah! That's the funniest thing I ever heard! Hahahahahaha! I mean he couldn't hurt a fly!! Hahahahahaha! He couldn't poke a dead man if they gave him a pole that reached half across the world! Hahahahaha! He's harmless. A fly. A bug. A miniature poodle! HAHAHAHEHEHEH!" She gave him a death glare before continuing "Instead of rummaging around the place searching for an escape why don't you just call security smart ass!"

Kaiba stopped laughing, how could he not have thought of that?! At the lost look on Kaiba's face she chuckled. He glared at her. She laughed louder. He licked his lips and approached her. she shut up. He smiled triumphantly and walked to his white sleeveless coat to search for his cell-phone.

Kaiba talked to security on the phone, explaining to them that his brother had 'accidentally' locked him in his office and had taken Kaiba's own keys. And so now the CEO had to get someone to bail him out of his own office.The security guards had, as usual, accepted their task with no questions and said they would be up as soon as possible!

Security opened the door in no time at all, Kaiba and his new 'invisible friend' were off to see Yugi. After all, he was probably the only person who could figure out what was going on.

Kaiba entered the card shop with the girl who he had just learned might be named Chiya, he had given her a good look over while in the limo and had decided that she was good looking. In fact very good looking, with her long straight red-hair and mesmerizing silver green eyes she was a vision, but to top things off, her body was off the charts. It had taken a lot of effort on Kaiba's part to remain-presentable-.[if you catch my drift ^_~].

Now as they entered Yugi's grandfather's shop, another sight awaited him, a much less pleasing sight.

"Nice shop they have here!" Chiya remarked sarcastically. Kaiba's eyes skimmed over the mess of cards and dueling objects that were scattered on the floor. "It looks like it was hit by a nuclear weapon." Kaiba remarked.

"Yeah. We just received some new shipments . sorry!" A familiar voice sounded from behind them. Kaiba and Chiya whirled around to see Yugi shuffling through a box of cards. "It's a surprise to see you here Kaiba wh- "

"A surprise?! After what happened to us two days ago, my visiting is a surprise?! What happened back there Yugi?"

"Well. To be perfectly honest Kaiba I don't know. I asked Yami-"

*Yami!! Yami!!! I know that name! It sounds familiar!* Chiya screeched loud enough to make Kaiba jump and whirl around in her direction. Yugi stared (@_@) at him, slightly stunned by Kaiba's action. Kaiba turned back to Yugi(@_@) but not before giving Chiya a death glare. She grinned at him then mimicked zipping her mouth shut and throwing away the key. "What did Yami say? What were those visions!"

"Visions?" Yugi looked slightly confused "Visions." then an expression of understanding came over him "You used the Millennium Rod. That's what sparked this wasn't it? You must have made a three way connection!"

" A three way connection but there were only two-" a thought hit him and he turned around and looked at Chiya who was standing less then a foot away from him. Causing another odd look from Yugi.

"So you are saying" Kaiba started anew "That my using the Millennium Rod in a duel with you caused a three way connection between you, me and a card."

"Not just any card, your Dragon's Dark Enchan-"

"No shit short stuff! I was right there with you -and that God damn splitting headache- in case you don't remember."

"So it's true."

"What's true? Stop speaking in code!" Kaiba snapped

"Well Yami told me that in ancient Egypt an evil power was locked into that card, a power that was predicted to one day be released onto the world to ravage it. To destroy it. To cause it's ultimate and final destruction!"

Kaiba and Chiya (0_o;;) stared on in utter stupefaction. "Alright, that sounded like something out of a cheesy science fiction movie Yugi!" Kaiba stated *Or something out of an evil, crazy 14 year old boy's mind! I'm not evil Seto! I'm not! I mean do I l-* Seto gave her a look, it was not a death glare but she knew what he meant, for some reason he didn't completely believe Yugi either.

"That's not what the vision told me Yugi. That girl in the vision. That girl that you called Chiya, she was scared. What did she have to do with all of this?"

"That much he cannot remember."

*How convenient wouldn't you say. Kaiba there is something about this kid -seriously- that I don't like. It's almost as if. Well it's almost as if he's holding in a deeper, darker power. I don't like him one bit!*

Kaiba did not acknowledge her, he was too busy studying Yugi's face, there was something not right about it. It was just not right, his skin looked almost surreal, and he thought he saw something for a split second.

'What happens if the shit hits the fan.What happens if the shit hits the fan'. Kaiba questioned himself over and over as he silently prayed that it wouldn't.

"Kaiba give me the card and the Millennium Rod. Give them to me for safekeeping. If anybody knows how to keep them from evil doers it would be me. You are too popular and well known."

Kaiba did not speak he just stared at Yugi, trying to figure out just exactly what it was. "The card Kaiba give it to me. And if I am to keep you safe as well I will need the Millennium Rod . Hand them over!"

Kaiba was not blinking, he didn't allow his eyes to move for a split second and he was letting nothing distract him. He saw it! He saw the flicker. Yugi's face flickered right before his eyes.It was extremely fast, not visible if not paying close attention. Kaiba stepped back, not quite sure what he was dealing with, immediately calculating the distance to the door at sprinting speed. Analyzing in his mind the different problems he might face at escaping: goons trying to stop him, body guards if he tried to attack the imposter, traps that might be built into the ground, cars that might block his path while he was in the street. Subways, side streets, shortcuts, hidden passages. then it hit him.

"Mokuba!" Kaiba stated desperately struggling with his protective instincts in order to remain calm and contained.

"What of Mokuba?" Yugi asked obviously irritated at the change of topic "Mokuba is not important, I want the card."

"Where is Mokuba, he said he was coming to see you." Yugi nodded "He is upstairs talking to Tea, now give me them to me."

Kaiba did not let in "I want to see him, I want to see him, NOW!" Kaiba stated loosing the battle against his instincts.

The imposter's face went dark, his eyes furious. Kaiba understood, the imposter knew that Kaiba knew that he was not Yugi.Shuddering inwardly Kaiba stated in a-matter-of-a-fact "The shit just hit the fan."

Yugi nodded in acquiescence "You are not going to get out of here alive."

"You know Asshole, I've heard that one too many times!" At that Kaiba attacked him.

*No WAIT!* Chiya yelled *Kaiba be careful! Be careful!*

Kaiba was attacking this guy with all that he had, but this man was just too fast, in fact his speed was definitely preternatural. Chiya stared on in horror and absolute fear and, for some reason, her mind whispered 'No, no this can't be happening again! This can't be happening again! I won't let it! I won't let it!'

Kaiba was thrown to the ground, he was already badly hurt and they had not been fighting for ten minutes. Just then the Yugi look alike raised his hand and started speaking in what seemed like tongues but as she listened Chiya found that she could understand what he was saying. It was an ancient tongue, a spell in and ancient tongue, a spell that this man was using to cast Kaiba into the shadow realm.

*NOO! THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!" Chiya yelled as she ran towards Kaiba and wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes. She screamed once at the top of her lungs as she realized that their bodies began disintegrating. Slowly they both disappeared.

Chiya opened her eyes and looked around Kaiba was squirming beneath her, both from the dreadful pain he was in [considering his body was hurting before and even more now from the beating.MY POOR BABY! WHY AM I DOING THIS TO HIM!?] and from the off pleasure he got from Chiya half laying on top of him. Chiya was oblivious as she stared incredulous at what stood in front of her.

"Uh. Kaiba. Kaiba.Kaiba?" and when she got no answer she yelled "SETO KAIBA!"

Seto looked up and what he saw made his eyes go wide and his jaw drop..
