Chapter Four: Understand
It was about five minutes when Seto Kaiba's brother, Mokuba was seen in the dining room area. He was wearing his usual clothing: yellow jacket, striped turtleneck, and blue jeans.
"Sorry I'm late! Seto can't come down because he's busy with work," Mokuba said, excusing Seto Kaiba.
"Okay," Sierra said, with a hint of a disappointed tone. 'I was hoping I could've talked to him about stuff, oh well. It's not like it matters anyway.'
After Mokuba chose the menu, they ate salad as the appetizer. It was a quiet meal, but it was not in total silence. Mokuba asked a few questions of Sierra's past and her current occupation, but that was the few words spoken.
~*~After Dinner~*~
"Ms. Sierra, there is a package waiting for you outside. Would you like for me to get it?" Eduardo asked.
"Yes, please," Sierra said and thought, 'I wonder who could that be?'
After a few moments, a medium sized parcel was brought to Sierra. It was quite heavy and was sent by Ishizu.
"Thank-you Eduardo. You may leave now," Sierra thanked.
"Yes ma'am," the servant replied and left, closing the door on the way.
After opening the box, Sierra saw the golden object, another small package (jewelry box shaped), and a letter. After taking all three objects, the golden object was none other than the Millennium Necklace.
"I thought she needed it," Sierra said, confused.
She then picked up the letter and read it. The length was only a page, but every detail contained in it was important.
The letter stated:
Dear Sierra,
I have seen you are doing well on your first day at Seto Kaiba's home. Please, remember your mission and do not take leave of absence with the Egyptian God Card, Obelisk the Tormenter. That card maybe one of the key elements in our victory against the evil. Now, I must tell you of what we have not discussed in our session when last seeing each other.
The evil that I speak of that may corrupt the world is none other than my brother, Marik Ishtar. I regret saying he has turned over onto the evil side, but I plan to save him before it is too late. Like you, he holds another of the Millennium items, the Millennium Rod. It is quite useful, yet can be used in an evil way. The Millennium Rod is used to control one's mind, making you his 'slave.' This is not all that is important about my brother. He is also the head of thieves, a group you and I know of as the Rare Hunters. There will be many during the Battle City Tournament, so you must be careful.
Perhaps you are curious why you and I are both the holders of the Millennium Necklace. On my archaeologist journeys, I found a tablet that told me of you and the Millennium Necklace. It was a prophecy, stating something you must know. Long ago, a young girl in her teens was a seer and a bodyguard of the Pharaoh. After a reason that is still unknown to me, she was imprisoned within a necklace. The necklace could read the past, present, or future because of her great capabilities of being a seer. That girl is still imprisoned inside the necklace, waiting to be freed. Five thousand years later, after the incident of captivity, a girl with an amazing voice, but skilled at Duel Monsters will be able to free this girl. They will help each other when in need.
I hope you will take heed of this prophecy and learn to use the Millennium Necklace to your advantage. I will see you seen in the Battle City Tournament Finals. You will be unclear to this term at first, but time will tell. Good luck.
Best regards,
Ishizu

Sierra looked at the necklace that could possibly save the world. A wave of amazement crept over her now, but also a tingle of fear.
'A girl trapped inside the Millennium necklace? That's insane, but really, she's not a girl anymore. She's like really, really old now. But, if what Ishizu says is true, then how can I even free her? I mean it's not like I haven't worn the necklace before. Why didn't she contact me then? This is really confusing!' Sierra thought.
"Oh, I forgot something," Sierra said out loud.
A small box was wrapped neatly, held by string. It lay on the floor, looking as if waiting to be opened. Under the string laid a small note, wrapped into a small square.
The note stated:
In this box lays two very special cards. You will need many rare cards to defeat the Rare Hunters, so you must be careful. Good luck on your journey!
-Ishizu
-Note completed-
Excitement rushed through Sierra, like a huge gust of wind. What type of rare cards could be so important in this box? She quickly tore the string of the box and the brown paper, revealing a white cardboard box.
Nock, nock, nock…
"Who is it?" Sierra said.
Opening the door, revealed a tall, brown-headed teenager: Seto Kaiba.
"I'm going to have to use Obelisk the Tormenter now. I want to see if Ishizu was right in its power," Seto stated. (A/N: I hope that sounded a bit like him)
"Uh, okay," Sierra said.
She took out a silver brief case that held at least a thousand cards. After fiddling around, trying to find the card, she found it.
"Here you go. Since I'm suppose to be holder, I just need to know what you're going to do to it," Sierra said.
"I'm working on my new dueling disk that will be used in my tournament. I'll try using Obelisk at Kaibacorp's Research and Development Department. I need to go now," Kaiba said and received the card from Sierra.
Sierra hesitated and said, "Um… can I go with you?"
Kaiba answered, "Whatever."
Sierra stood up and picked up the white box that held the rare card in the process. Both people started walking towards the limo, and were greeted by Mokuba.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The ride seemed long and tedious, but it was over after five to ten minutes. The Kaibacorp's Research and Development Department was quite large, more than three stories tall. Inside workers were furiously looking through papers and greeted Seto Kaiba with, "Welcome back, Mr. Kaiba," and other greetings. After periods of walking, Kaiba reached his destination while Sierra and Mokuba sat outside on a chair.
"Mokuba, you stay here while I work on the new duel disk. As for you (Sierra), you can keep my brother company," Kaiba commanded and shut a door, leaving Sierra and Mokuba alone.
"He's excited," Mokuba said.
"How can you tell?" Sierra asked, one eyebrow rose.
"His voice. He doesn't show much enthusiasm, I'll say that, but you can tell after a while," Mokuba said.
"Oh," Sierra said plainly, "I see."
"So, what's in the box?" Mokuba asked, curiously.
"Huh?" Sierra said, confused at first, but looked inside her pocket, which had a bit of white showing, "Oh, this box."
Sierra took out the box and showed it to Mokuba.
"I haven't opened it yet, but I guess this is the time I should," Sierra said and opened it.
Inside were two cards, Crab Turtle and Turtle Oath. (Crab Turtle's Attack: 2800/Defense: 2500)
"Sweet! You should use these two in the tournament Kaiba Corps is hosting," Mokuba said.
"Wow, I've never done rituals before," Sierra said, "Let's see, the description says that to use Crab Turtle, you need Turtle Oath and a sacrifice of eight stars."
"Cool, Crab Turtle looks so cool! Right after my brother's Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon, this comes in as one of my favorite looking cards," Mokuba said, apparently delighted about the drawing.
"Wait a minute, you're brother, do you mean to say he has all the Blue-Eyes White Dragons in the world?" Sierra asked, apparently shocked.
"Yep, he has one of the most rare decks you can find," Mokuba said.
"Really?" Sierra said and smirked. 'You have no clue about rare, little Mokuba.'
