Akkadia: *singing in Japanese*

Yami: since when does she know Japanese?

Karria: Since she watched Castle in the Sky. She won't stop sing the ending song and it's driving me nuts!

Yugi: why don't you go into the other room and do the disclaimer?

Karria; That's supposed to stop my insanity, how?

Yugi: I don't know, I just don't wanna do the disclaimer and obviously the authoress is *points to Akkadia who is currently walking on the ceiling still singing* busy.

Karria: Akkadia doesn't own anything Yu-Gi-Oh related. Lily, Jacob, Kieto, Cycho however are hers, so don't sue!

Yugi: On with the fic!

A/N: Ok, I recently saw the video Castle in the Sky (Laputa) and I loved it! Ok, off the subject I know, sorry. I hope this chapter will be satisfactory to everyone! It may be a little short. Writer's Block is back but I'm trying my best to fight it! Enjoy chapter 14 (I think) With all A/N's I've lost track lol!

Chapter 14 (?)

Yugi was the first of the group to find his voice, "I never knew it was like that." he looked the others and waited for their response.

Joey looked at his sister and knew exactly what she was thinking. They weren't the only ones in Domino who had to go through a family crisis. Joey walked over to Mokuba, "Don't worry, we'll make sure those creeps get a taste of their own medicine!"

Mokuba looked at his shoes and sighed deeply. He reached up to touch his locket but remembered what happened last time and immediately pulled away. Tears came to his eyes but he held them back. He suddenly remembered his ring. Being careful to avoid contact with his locket, Mokuba pulled out his ring from his eleventh birthday. As soon as the metal touched his skin he let out a cry of pain. It felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach. Mokuba recovered but received another blow, this time at his knee. He fell to the ground.

"Mokuba!" The others ran to him but stopped, "Yami, what's happening to Mokuba?" Yugi asked before clutching his stomach in pain. He bit his lip and tried to ignore the pain but couldn't. An agonizing cry escaped from his lips and his chin started to tremble. He looked over at Mokuba to find him gripping something tightly in his fist, "Mokuba what ever you have in your hand, let go if it!"

Yami looked at Mokuba as well and saw the object in the chain lost somewhere in the boy's clenched fist. He walked over and touched the ring. Seconds later he was thrown back by a powerful force. He had seen Kaiba being tortured and Mokuba and Yugi were feeling the blows of the impact, "Mokuba, you must let go of the ring."

Mokuba managed to summon enough willpower to release the ring from his iron grasp. The pain stopped, "Yami, what was that?" He looked over at Yugi and choked back a gasp. He had experienced the same thing.

Yami walked over to Yugi to check and see if he was all right, "I'm fine Yami. I've been through worse." He stood up and walked over to Joey and Serenity, "We'll explain later." he told the two knowing that's what they were about to ask.

Yami walked over to Mokuba and helped him to his feet, "Mokuba, does your brother have a ring similar to your own?" he asked.

Mokuba took the ring again but this time by the chain to avoid another episode like before. Just watching it dangle in front of him brought back memories of the day he got it, "Yes, and he's wearing it right now."

Yami nodded, "I see." He studied the ring carefully and touched it once again only to receive another blow knocking him off his feet. He stood up, "Mokuba, the rings you and your brother possess connect the two of you. So when ever one of you is in danger the other can sense it, or at times even feel it yourself." he explained after finally figuring the connection out.

Mokuba looked at his ring in astonishment, "Wait if Seto and I are connected through our rings, how come nothing like this has ever happened before?" If something had happened, he knew he would have remembered it.

Yami sighed deeply, "I believe the duel lockets you two wear was originally the base of your connection, but I think something has happened to your brother's locket. Therefore your locket feels like fire at the touch. So, your connection started to form through your rings. When I touched your ring, I had a vision of Kaiba being kicked in the stomach."

The whole thing started to make a little sense to Mokuba. But one thing that was still puzzling him was why Yugi cried out whenever he did, "If the connection is between me and Seto, why does it effect Yugi?"

"Uh, well..." Yami for the first time, in a long time didn't know what to say. He had to keep Jacob and Lily's secret but...

Yugi stepped up to Mokuba, "Because, my mother and father suffered the same torture and I feel I'm going through the same thing." he explained receiving a sigh of relief from Yami. Little did he know he as more than half right.

*Meanwhile*

Kaiba opened his blue eyes to find the room surprisingly bare. Not a single bastard in sight. He reached up and touched his ring. His ears immediately were filled with cries of pain. He let go shocked. After a few seconds the crying ceased and he held his ring again. This time he heard the voice of Mokuba. But the words were being drowned out by cries. Kaiba lost control, "MOKUBA!!!"

Mokuba's head shot up, "Seto!" he turned to the others, "I just heard Seto in my head!" he touched his ring, "Seto?"

Kaiba looked at his ring in shock, "Mokuba?" was he going crazy? Could he actually communicate with his brother mentally?

Mokuba concentrated as hard as he could, "Seto, are you ok?" he prayed silently for an answer.

"I've been better. Where are you?" Kaiba answered back still not believing what he as doing. He'd seen a lot of weird things but this one took the cake.

"We're outside of the shed, Seto. We've come to rescue you. I know Keito is there. I saw him. Seto, do you still have your locket?" Mokuba asked hoping what he thought the answer would be is wrong.

Kaiba sighed, "No, those two slime balls ruined it. What about you? Don't tell me they took away your locket before I came and got you."

"No, I still have mine. But whenever I touch it, it burns me. Seto, were they hurting you earlier?" Mokuba closed his eyes still feeling the blows but only faintly.

Kaiba winced at the thought of the torture again, "How did you know that Mokuba?" What was really going on around here?

Mokuba sighed deeply, "I can feel the pain you're going through, Seto. I can feel it whenever I hold my ring you gave me for my birthday. Yugi can too. I don't really know why, but whenever I felt pain he would feel it as well."

Karria: Well that's all she wrote, literally!

Yami: *Passing out ear plugs*. If we can't take the music out of the authoress, we'll take the authoress out of our heads!

Yugi: According to Akkadia, she needs some help with the rest of the story. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated! Now give me some ear plugs! *puts ear plugs on*

Karria: What Yugi said. 3 reviews = chapter 15?
