readers: I'm sorry I made you wait so long!!

'Finally.'
Kayma bit her lower lip, half in anticipation, half in worry.
"What if it doesn't work? I don't want to hurt anyone," she mumbled to herself under her breath.
'It will work. Unless we are interrupted or have to,' the voice paused, then sneered, 'hurt someone, it will work.'
"Very well. Let's go."
As Kayma dashed down the hallway, she wondered how she had gotten into all this. But then the now all-too-familiar rush of the hunt swept her up.
"Time for some fun," she whispered.
'Yes. Time for fun,' the voice agreed.

Yugi Moto looked over his shoulder for what seemed like the fifth time, then muttered to himself, "I'm almost positive someone is following us."
'Maybe someone is,' replied his yami, the spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. 'They may be using a spell of some sort. Watch out.'
Yugi nodded, then turned a corner and halted.
"Kayma!"
The redheaded girl nodded, then, grinning, stepped forward and flung out a hand. A blast of light shot from her fingers and settled all over the unfortunate boy before he could flee. The light gave one last pulse of energy. Yugi found he could not move.
'Spirit!' He cried out in his mind. And to his horror, he could not contact the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle. Then it got worse. His sight dimmed, then all was black.

She smiled. Her prey was down for the count. Now for the most complicated spell she would ever cast, made harder by the fact that it was the first time she had ever attempted it.
She slowly pulled out the two cards she had specially prepared for this moment. Then she hesitated.
'Are you having second thoughts, my dear Kayma?' The voice was sharp and nasty in her mind.
"Yes. This... this just seems wrong. Like I'm messing with Fate or something."
'You believe in Fate?' It was scorning her.
"I believe in you. I can most certainly believe in Fate if I want to," she retorted.
'Fine.'
Kayma suddenly felt a pulling, a tugging, then a shoving of her spirit, her consciousness.
*'What are you doing?!'* Kayma cried, alarmed.
'You may have gotten cold feet, but we've gotten too far for us to turn away from our goal!'
*'NO!!!'* But it was no use. Her body had been possessed by a voice in her head. She could hear herself starting to chant the spell necessary to separate the spirit of the Puzzle from the body of the boy Yugi Moto.
*'No!!!!'*
A sudden force slammed into her and Kayma regained control over herself. She blinked and stared at the person who had rammed into her and knocked her to the floor.
"You!"

HAH! Now I'm gonna leave you with a cliff-hanger. You'll be stuck wondering who rescued Kayma from herself UNLESS you review. Then you get the other half of the cliff-hanger! So read, enjoy, and review!
