****Yami's POV****

Backstage. Yugi is up on stage playing his little heart out. I'm walking around aimlessly trying to look busy. He said he didn't want to wear the puzzle on stage because it got in the way when he was playing. Now that's a kick in the ass if I do say so myself. I'm in the way back here too. I almost got ran over by a little troll followed by three squealing girls. If I wouldn't have ducked into that closet, he would have smucked right into me. If that wasn't bad enough, some paramedics almost flattened me too. Don't these people LOOK where they're going? This lifestyle is not for me, but I'll do it for Yugi.

Oh great, Kaiba's walking toward me. He probably wants trample me too.

Well well, if it isn't the pharaoh himself. Kaiba says arrogantly. What a spoiled brat. No duh I'm a pharaoh, just not in this day and age.

I have a name Kaiba. I retort sarcastically.

Kaiba lets out a little laugh.

Oh great, instead of running over me, he's just going to stand here and give me shit.

Whatever, let's just cut to chase. I need your help. I can't find Ann or Mokuba anywhere. I had to go over some things with Tany, so I had to step out. When I last saw them they were sitting at the reserved table. When I came back they were gone.

Oh look, I'm good for something. Yippie.

They didn't say where they were going? I ask, just to make sure Kaiba's not wasting my time.

No, they just took off. Kaiba replies.

Hmm....maybe they're in the dressing room.

Let's go see Kaiba nods.

***Normal POV***

Yami and Kaiba hurried to the bands dressing room and looked inside. Kaiba gasp as his eyes fell on his little brother exiting the closet......with three girls.

Mokuba exclaimed while yanking up his jeans.

Yami stood back and laughed. Looks like little Kaiba's been knocken' boots with groupies

Seto glared at Yami. Shut up

Mokuba quickly hugged the girls he had been with and sent them out of the dressingroom. Once they were gone Seto closed the door.

Mokuba, sit down. We need to talk. Yami took that as his cue to leave. By the way Seto was glaring at his little brother, Yami knew better than to stick around.

I'll go look for Ann Yami chuckled as he left Mokuba to Seto.

Yami walked outside and wandered around the dark parking lot. He was so bored he started singing a tune that had been going through his head all day.

All the times I spent suffering in school y'know, Thinking I was so supercool, and baby, All the teachers gave me so much grief, I wanna blow 'em up just to get some relief!

Yami had no clue where he'd heard the song, but the words continued to ring though his mind.

Sister, sister they call me a parasite, Sister, sister they wanna bury me alive! All day, All night, all term long....

Yami walked very slowly. He kicked a soda can in his path out of the way, sending it flying threw the air.

What the hell was that! a womans voice exclaimed out of the darkness.

Shut up and go back to what you were doing! a man growled back.

Yami recognized the voices. It was Tany and Malik. He walked to the source of the voices, which was infront of the car, and called their names.

Tany? Malik? Is that you? Yami's presence startled both Malik and Tany, but they didn't stop what they were doing.

"What the hell are you two doing!" Yami shrieked as he caught sight of the two of them making out like wild monkeys.

Yami remembered giving Marik the two potions, and figured out that most likely, Tany and Malik had somehow fell victim to it's effects.

Oh great god of all that's true, please correct what was done, and now undo. Release these souls from the urge to screw Yami chanted to release them from the grips of the potion.

As soon as the words had left his mouth, Tany and Malik pulled away from each other. Tany grabbed her shirt and quickly slipped it over her head.

Yami! Where'd you come from? she gasp.

Malik got his his feet slowly. He was only wearing a pair of faded light colored jeans, and his zipper was wide open. Yami stared at them on shock.

What's going on? he ask curiously.

Tany and Malik looked at each other and scratched their heads.

I don't know why, but I think Tany and I were just getting ready to fuck.

Tany made at Malik and glanced down at his open zipper.

Oh my god, I can't fuck you! What the hell was I thinking!

Yami sighed before he explained what happened.

Somehow the two of you consumed the sexual magnetism potion. Marik had me make it up for him yesterday. I'm assuming he has it here at the show.

What? A potion that makes you horny? Is that possible? Tany ask.

Yami nodded his head. Yes, With the use of ancient magic.

Tany looked perplexed.. But, but........how did we, why did we, when did we........?

Yami knew what she was trying to get at. I'm not sure Tany, but somehow you and Malik must have come on contact with the potion.

Tany made a sour face as she picked some grass out of her hair.

Why did Marik have you make a sex potion? Yami glanced at Malik with caution before answering her.

He wanted it to get Caroline to stay with him

Malik started to laughed and rolled his eyes.

I guess I can live with that he chuckled.

Malik picked his jacket up off the ground and shook the dirt off it before pulling it on.

//Malik, three more songs and you need to be up here// Marik reminded Malik through their link.

//I know// Malik replied. //I'll be there.//

Well, I'm going to go find Bakura and a big bag of M&M's, see ya Malik said as he picked his big water gun up off the hood of the car and walked away.

****

Ann slowly pulled her lips away from Anubis's. Her cheeks were flushed from the intensity of Anubis's kiss. She turned her head away and took a few deep breaths.

I.......need to go find Seto. she said quickly as she regained her senses.

So soon? Anubis responded.

Ann grabbed her coat and started walking away.

Yes. Have a good night. she said firmly as she left the quiet tavern.

Anubis grinned as she walked out the door.

//She's strong, but in the end she will not resist// he thought to himself.

Ann quickly returned to the noisy, smoke filled club. She sat at the same table she had been at earlier. Within a few minutes of her return, Seto came walking out from backstage.....pulling Mokuba along behind him; by his ear.

Seto! Let me go! Mokuba protested.

You're not going anywhere Romeo. Seto replied harshy as he returned to the table. Now sit your ass down and STAY PUT.

Seto looked up and realized Ann had finally returned.

he smiled as he released his grip on his little brothers ear.

Ann smiled as she got up and hugged her fiancé.

Where'd you go sweetheart? I was looking all over for you. Kaiba ask.

Ann didn't want to tell him she left with Ammut, but she didn't want to lie either.

I went out to get some air she responded quickly.

Kaiba accepted her answer and nodded. Mm, okay. Next time please let me know though, I was worried.

Ann nodded her head. Don't worry Seto.......I don't plan on leaving your side.

***

Tell me about this potion you made for Marik now, Yami. What does it do? Tany ask as she and Yami sat outside on the hood of the car.

Well Tany, it's a sexual magnetism potion. Basically what it does is temporarily enlarges your hypothalamus, creating a sexual drive beyond human control.

Does it do anything else? Tany ask curiously.

Yami nodded his head. Yes, it makes you very hungry after it wears off.

Tany rolled her eyes.

That explains this urge I have to call and order a pizza Tany laid back on the hood of the car and looked up into the night sky.

Yami replied. They both were silent for a few minutes.

Yami laid back on the car and propped his head up with his hand.

So Tany......what was it you were saying about a pizza?

****

Bakura pulled off the shirt he was wearing and threw it aside. He looked at Caroline with lust filled dark brown eyes,

Let's get a room he said in a low raspy voice.

The two of them found themselves an un-occupied dressing room. There was nothing to stop them from making a huge mistake now. The sexual magnetism potion had taken its full effect, leaving their bodies at the mercy of the other. There minds were on the same astral plane.......and all they could think about was ripping off each others clothes and going at it like sex- starved animals.. Caroline moaned as Bakura positioned himself on top of her.

Shhh.....I promise this won't hurt.....much. Bakura whispered softly as he brushed her hair out of her eyes..

*****

Hey Tany! There's some girl in here asking for you, Laurie Ann or something like that! She says Marik told her you could get her backstage. Get your ass in here and talk to her!

Malik yelled out the backstage door.

Okay, just a sec! Tany yelled back. Yami looked at her with an exaggerated pout on his face.

Guess that means no pizza he sighed.

Tany smiled at him and messed up his hair. You're so cute Yami. Tell you what, I'll talk Kaiba into buying us all a pizza after the show.

Yami smiled as he hopped off the car. Sounds good to me.

Tany followed Malik inside, where he directed her where the girl named Laurie Ann was waiting.

Well Tany, there she is. I'll see you later, I'm going to go find Caroline.

Tany nodded her head and they began walking their separate ways. After a few steps, Tany stopped and turned around. Malik, wait she said quickly. Malik stopped and looked back at her.

Tany took a deep breath before continuing to speak.

Sorry about what happened before. I hope you're not angry at me.

Malik shook his head. I'm sorry too, and no, there's no reason to be angry at each other. It's Marik we need to be upset with.

Tany smiled slightly and nodded her head.

Yeah, no shit. What the hell was he thinking? Like he needs a potion to seduce Caroline.

Malik started to laugh as he walked away.

My light certainly has a strange way of handling things, that's for sure.

****

Bakura.....we can't.........do this......I.....love..... Caroline started to say.

I know.......but... Bakura groaned as Caroline nipped at his earlobe.

That feels so good...gods.....don't stop Bakura responded.

Caroline ran her hands down Bakura's bare chest and buried her face in his long, spiky white hair.

Mmm, you smell so good Bakura.......

Bakura dotted her neck with light kisses as he pulled their bodies closer together.

I can't wait any longer he breathed heavily.

Caroline sighed as Bakura gripped her hips firmly.

Bakura positioned himself over Caroline and was just about to consummate their actions when the lights came on.

Malik gasp.

Bakura and Caroline both froze.

Oh shit they both said in unison.

This better not be what I think it is Malik said sternly as he yanked Bakura off of Caroline.

Hey, watch it! Bakura snarled.

Malik grabbed him by his shirt collar and glowered. Caroline shoved Malik out of her way and glared.

Yeah, lay off him Malik! It's not our fault! It's Marik's! Now give me back Bakura!

Malik stopped his assault on Bakura at the mention of Marik's name.

Wait a minute, does this have to do with that fuck potion?

Bakura nodded his head and lunged after Caroline.

No shit Sherlock Ishtar. Now move your ass! I have needs here!

Malik grabbed both Caroline and Bakura and dragged them out of the room kicking and protesting. Yami just happened to be walking inside.

Guess what Malik growled as he held Caroline and Bakura in a headlock. Both of them were still trying to get their paws on each other.

Yami made a sour face. Let me guess........Marik's potion again.

Caroline momentarily looked away from Bakura. Say what? Again??

Malik bit his bottom lip nervously.

Yes, again, I'll explain in a minute. Malik looked down at Yami, Fix them, or I'll....oh never mind, just say the fucking chant.

Yami said the magic words, releasing Caroline and Bakura from the grips of the powerful sexual magnetism potion. Caroline and Bakura both stared at each other for a moment, not saying a word.

What just happened? Caroline ask Malik after a brief moment of discomfort.

Let go of me! Bakura growled as he struggled free of Malik's grasp.

Malik shook his head.

Caroline my dear, you just about fucked that gnarly, white haired freak.

Bakura glared maliciously at Malik.

Fuck off. At least I don't run around with my hair sticking straight up like a Ra-damned over grown mutant porcupine! Malik took off his long black Marilyn Manson shirt and handed it to Caroline. Neither her or Bakura were wearing a stitch of clothing.

Here honey, throw this on. I need to kick Bakura's boney ass.

Realizing he wasn't wearing anything, Bakura took off on a dead run to retrieve his clothes. Malik bolted after him.

Get back here tomb robber! I'm going to tie those bat-bangs of yours around your throat until you can no longer breath!

Caroline looked at Yami nervously.

Should we try to stop him?

Yami nodded his head.

*****

Master Anubis! We have located the main electrical box in the basement. a man carrying a flashlight exclaimed in a hushed voice.

Anubis grinned evilly as he followed his slaves, Crash and Rune, down a dark set of stairs.

It's back here! Rune yelled.

Anubis approached the box and looked it over.

This is going to be too easy.

*****

Marik, Ryou, Yugi and Duke were just finishing up their last song before their encore up on stage. Marik had just belted out the last lyrics to Change of Heart when suddenly, all the lights went out in the club.

What the hell? Yugi yelled out into the darkness. Even their equipment had lost power.

Duke grumbled as he tripped over a cord.

I think we blew a fuse Ryou chuckled as he felt his way out from behind his drum kit.

They could hear screaming as panic began to sweep over the audience.

Marik took control of the situation as best he could.

Everybody just relax he shouted loudly.

Yugi followed the sound of Marik's voice and slowly found his way over to him.

Marik, what are we gonna do? he ask nervously.

I don't fucken know Yugi, I can't see a Ra-damned thing

Duke snapped his fingers.

I got an idea

Duke cleared his throat.

HEY, PEOPLE! THERE'S NO REASON TO PANIC, IT'S JUST A POWER OUTAGE! ANYBODY WHO'S GOT A CIGARETTE LIGHTER; LIGHT IT NOW AND TRY TO FIND AN EXIT. NOBODY GET STUPID AND START FREAKING OUT THOUGH, JUST BE COOL AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!

Next thing they knew the room was filled with little flickering flames of light. A few screams could still be heard, but most everybody was keeping their wits about them.

Good thinkin' Duke!Yugi exclaimed.

Yeah, good thinking, but we're still in the dark up here. Marik retorted.

Duke's face was suddenly illuminated by the faint light of a lighter.

Don't leave home without it he chuckled.

Marik, Ryou, and Yugi followed the guiding light of Dukes lighter off the stage and went in search of Seto Kaiba. The were hoping he could tell them what was going on.

*****

Yami? Malik? Bakura? Hey, where'd you guys go? Caroline yelled into the darkness backstage.

She got no reply.

Hey, this isn't very funny! She yelled as she felt her way around.

Malik had been chasing after Bakura, and Yami was hot on Malik's heels to try to stop him. Caroline had snuck away to get her clothes back on while the chase was going on. The lights had gone out just as she'd finished getting dressed.

Malik? Answer me, PLEASE? she called out, but there still was no answer.

Caroline noticed a faint light coming out from behind a partially opened door, so she peeked inside. She could see the silhouettes of Yami, Bakura, and Malik, but they weren't moving. Their wrists and ankles were bound by something red and glowing. Another person was in the room, but she couldn't see them. Before she could even react, a blinding flash of light threw her back against a wall, knocking her out cold.
