Icey: Has it been long since I updated? Sorry then. But I feel like I don't
want to continue anymore, I mean like no one is reading this and I feel
like I'm putting effort into this all for nothing. So let me know what you
think and I'll think about continuing. I still have good ideas for this but
they only show later in the story, so it's getting there that's the hard
part. If you have any ideas for me then send em to me, I'll let you know if
I'll use them saiyaness_dragon@hotmail.com
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, if I did, then I'd be the happiest girl here coz I'd own Kaiba and all the other sexy bishies in it.

Chapter 10: The Demon in Human Skin
During the Monday morning, the sky was still quite dark. But where Icey was, the sky never darkened. Of course, she was in her own dream world, replaying the night before in her head over and over again. Feeling the soft touch of Kaiba's lips on hers in her head. For a few minutes, she had forgotten all about Ghadious and his threat, until Yugi sent her a worried look. She had been zoned out the entire day, and Yugi was wondering what was wrong. The bell rang and majority of the students got up to leave, Joey turned in his seat and waved a hand in front of her face,
"Hey, Planet Earth to Icey!! Ya in there...?" He asked.
Icey continued to live in her dream world, completely spacing out. Joey snapped his fingers a few times, then gave a sigh if defeat. Duke suddenly got an idea, he slammed both of his hands onto her table,
"KAIBA!!!!" He yelled.
Instantly, Icey snapped out of her world and blinked, looking around,
"Where, where????" She asked.
Duke grinned, "I thought that would work..." He laughed.
Yugi spoke, "You look like you've got something on your mind? Did anything happen that we should know about?"
Icey looked down to the floor, "Well, not really..." She trailed off. "I'm just tired I guess."
Yugi nodded as if he agreed. Yami however, looked as though he was troubled. In fact all three of the Yami's were cautiously peering over their shoulder every now and then.
"Hey, you three have been doing that all day!! Now what is your problem???" Tea demanded.
"There's an evil veil over this entire school..." Marik said darkly, "And for once, it wasn't me..."
Icey smiled, "Hey you guys, lets get serious here. He wouldn't think about attacking this school..." Her smile faded, "...Would he...?"
There was no need to even ask who 'he' was.
"It's entirely possible y'know..." Malik noted.
"Yeah, that's too true to be bearable..." Joey added.
A long silence pursued, Kaiba walked up to Icey and tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around,
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Can I talk to you?" He asked back.
Icey nodded, "Sure lead the way,"
Kaiba took her by the hand, much to Joey, Tristan and Duke's entertainment, and walked out the door toward her locker. He stopped and spun her around.
"Icey, why didn't you ask them about the weird light from yesterday??" He asked, his hands firmly planted on her shoulders. Kaiba brought his face down so it was level with hers.
"I don't know!!" Icey shot back. "And you were over the other side of the room!! How could you have possibly known that I didn't say anything about it?!"
Kaiba stood up straight and playfully slapped his hand onto her head, "Ok, ok. Don't yell..." He said in his normal tone. "Don't bother asking about how I knew, I just did...Anyway, I have to go pick up some things at the office. And I think it's of your best interest to just walk home. Or you'll be complaining the whole way!" Kaiba looked at her expectantly. Hoping for her to say yes. At least that
way he didn't have to face questions about who she was or why she was with him at the KC building.
All Icey could do was nod, "Y-yeah ok...whatever..."
Kaiba cast a quick glance around them and hesitated before moving again. Finally he tilted his head slightly and gave her a quick kiss, before walking away. Icey pressed her back against her locker, smiling slightly, watching him as he disappeared through the crowded hall way. Icey assumed the others had left also, ok, so she had to walk home. But that didn't matter. Kaiba just kissed her in public!!! Icey shook out of her reverie when a girl walked up to her,
"Kamishiro-san, there's something you left in class," She said.
Icey blinked and allowed herself to be dragged back to the classroom.
"What was it that I left behind?" Icey asked.
The girl stopped at a desk,
"Isn't this yours?" She asked, holding up a notebook.
Icey shook her head, "No, it's not mine...well since it isn't mine, I guess I should be going..." Icey waved bye to the girl, but was stopped when she called her back.
"Wait Icey, you can't go...not yet, there's somethin written on the blackboard you have to see..." The girl turned, her green eyes were glowing.
Confused, Icey directed her attention to the blackboard, her eyes widened when she saw what was written on it. A shiver coursed through her entire body, for on the blackboard was the message:
'ICEY KAMISHIRO MUST DIE!!'
Icey took a small step back as the student around her all silenced and stood. One by one they all advanced in on her menacingly.
Meanwhile, Kaiba had gotten into his limousine it was driving along steadily when Kaiba suddenly felt it. His blue eyes widened,
"Turn this around!!" He ordered.
His driver turned around in his seat, "But Master Kaiba!"
"Do as I say!!" He demanded. Kaiba didn't know what it was but he knew Icey was in trouble. *What's going on? How can I possibly be so sure of this??*
The limo spun around and sped back toward the school. Whatever the threat was, Kaiba had to get there soon.
The students had dragged Icey to the roof of the school where a figure was waiting for her, she recognized it instantly.
"Testuya-sama, we've brought Icey Kamishiro to you as you requested," One student said
"You coward, what's so enjoyable about controlling everyone??" Icey yelled.
"You shouldn't talk that way. I wanted to give you one peaceful day as a student. My kinder nature was showing because I pity you," Tetsuya walked over to her "You see, you're about to jump off of this roof. 'High school girl takes life unexpectedly, post exam depression, possibly picked on at school'," He smirked, "The public will have fun trying to explain it."
Icey had tears in her eyes, "Y-you demon!! You're a demon in human skin!!"
"Human skin? So what? Are humans really that special? I know how weak and foolish humans really are. How cowardly they can be. Alone they can accomplish nothing. But in groups, they easily attack those who are slightly isolated from them. Abuse them. Drive them away. Never considering the feelings of their prey who merely seek help." He half raised his arm, and gestured to the students, "If I am a devil, then so are they!! Their sins are so heavy that the negative energy in their hearts consumed them. Look at how easily they are controlled. The placid looks on their faces, no matter what happens to you, they act as though it wasn't their problem!"
Icey looked up at him, "That's not true!! I know the kindness in people, and the strength. And the hearts they have that love others!!"
"Loving hearts? Oh yes, as do we." He brought his face up to hers, "Fascinating. Shall we test your theory?" He asked, cupping her chin in his hand.
Icey's eye widened *Icey no* She thought, *Don't look into his eyes...Don't look!*
"I'm going to tear you both apart. Kaiba is going to die soon anyway. Then I'll make you love me in his place." He said softly.
A sudden sound diverted his attention, Tetsuya turned to see a student fall over, behind him stood Kaiba, a small smirk on his face. "I don't know what sort of insight you have. But it's not that impressive, Tetsuya."
"Seto!" Icey exclaimed.
He smiled slightly at her, "I came for you Icey,"
Kaiba ran through the mass of students knocking to the ground anyone who got in his way(A/N: Nothing new here... ^-^) until only Tetsuya himself was standing alone. The Millennium Bracelets on Icey's wrists glowed.
*Flashback*
"Icey," Yami said.
Icey looked at him in her seat in the library, "Yeah, what is it Yami?"
"Did you know that, 6000 years ago, before the Lady Astret had the Millennium Bracelets, a young couple owned them. When they were reaching the end of their days, they gave each other one each. And when they passed on, the two bodies were consumed in flames. And were reborn to be together again. So it's kinda like a symbol of eternal inseparability and destined love. So I guess, you could say that Love is the source of the Bracelets' power. Kinda silly isn't it?" He asked, laughing slightly.
Icey shook her head, "No, not at all Yami. It's not silly at all....."
*End Flashback*
Kaiba ran towards him, a yellow Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead
Tetsuya gritted his teeth, his eyes began to glow again, "Kuso..." He hissed, then out loud, "I hate to hit and run, but I'm afraid I can't stay here...But I hate to leave without giving you something, and so..."
Before anyone could say anything more, Icey was lifted off her feet, "What's this?" She asked whoever was listening.
"Just a little trick." Tetsuya turned to Kaiba, "Now, if you want her..." He threw Icey's body over the edge of the balcony. "...Then go GET HER!!!"
Kaiba gritted his teeth, breaking into a run. His hopes of reaching Icey before she got to the balcony had reached zero. Icey sailed over the edge. Kaiba jumped the rails and leaped. Icey's body was in reach now. As the two fell head first to the floor, Kaiba managed to pull Icey close to him. Regardless of the fact that it was utterly useless.
"...Shit..." Kaiba hissed through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, a soft yellow glow had covered the two, slowly stopping them in mid-air and spinning them around so they were on their feet again. Icey lifted her face from Kaiba's chest and looked up to see Malik and the others running in their direction. Malik had a glowing Millennium Rod in his right hand.
"Minna!!" She exclaimed.
"See, I told you guys there was something wrong!!!!" Marik boasted. Yami pressed his head against Marik's,
"Hey, I said that too you liar!!!" He yelled.
Bakura joined in with the two, "Hey what are you idiots talking about, I'M the one who said for all of us to run this way!!! If we followed Ex- Pharaoh's orders, we'd be running around the city naked again!!! Then if we followed Marik we'd be at the strip club!!"
Yami scoffed, "And here I always thought YOU were the horny one..." He sneered.
Bakura panicked, he shot a glance at the two girls in the group, both Tea and Icey had a raised eyebrow, then clamped a hand over Yami's mouth, "URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI!!!!" (A/N: Just to make things more interesting, the three Yami's are kinda gonna be the comic relief at times. I've read a lot of fanfics about their insanity and it's kinda rubbed off on me.... ^-^")
All the other guys sweatdropped.
"Never mind them girls, they'll never learn..." Joey said bluntly, "But not like me, I-" Kaiba cut him off,
"Never learn either, nothing new..." He said with a smirk.
Icey thought she should change the subject before Joey lost it, "Hey, how did you guys know?" She managed to utter the words as she held Joey back with one hand and kept Kaiba at a distance with the other.
"Well for starters, we all just got this weird feeling in our guts, something told us you were in trouble and so we all came, surprisingly, we all met up on the way..." Malik explained.
Ryou nodded along, "And apparently, Yami, Joey, and Malik had this light come out of nowhere and enter them..."
Kaiba looked up at him, he was about to speak but Icey beat him to it,
"Really?? So did Seto!" She exclaimed.
Ryou blinked, "Oh? Well anyway, Bakura thinks that it's awakened some sort of power they may have. Considering that Malik's Millennium Rod was unable to do such things, like save you, in the past..."
Joey seemed to nod a few times before pointing at Kaiba and yelling, "I hate to point out the obvious, I really do, but no one has seemed to notice that THERE'S A FREAKING EYE OF FREAKING HORUS ON KAIBA'S FOREHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone blinked, and squinted at Kaiba, "Holy SHIT!! It's true!!!" Tristan yelled, taking a step forward, he slowly reached up and began to poke it, "Poku, poku..." Kaiba glared at him, then effortlessly flipped him over his head.
"I think Kaiba's power or what not has something to do with fighting don't you think so?" Joey asked.
Kaiba closed his eyes and the eye slowly faded from his forehead.
Marik pouted, "How come you idiots get a cool power and I'm left with nothing???"
Bakura put him in a headlock, "Because you're a gay ass, that's why!!"
Marik pouted again, then shook off the idiotic Tomb-Robber. Malik patted his Yami on the back,
"S'ok Marik, get over it. I'll always be the better, sexier half, with the cool stuff!!"
"You're not helping Hikari!!" Marik groaned.
Joey shook his head, despite his own stupidity, Joey was also beginning to get tired of the three yami's.
"Ok, ok, on a more serious note, we really should discuss this whole 'beam of light entering our bodies thing' right?" He asked, rubbing his forehead.
Yugi and Ryou nodded along.
"That's right..." They said together.
"Well as Kaiba just demonstrated, his physical skills and whatnot just sky rocketed. So I'm guessing that's his power, and my Millennium Rod must have new powers since it just stopped Icey and Kaiba from becoming something you have to scrape off the floor with a spatula..." Malik spoke up, deep in thought.
Tristan suddenly remembered something important, "Hey sorry guys, but I gotta jet!! I have to go and pick up Seren..." He trailed off, looking at Joey who was giving him an evil glare, "...I mean an old friend..." Tristan began to laugh uncertainly.
"Give it up man, I know who your talking about..." Joey muttered, "Just go then, but I expect Serenity to be home straight away!! The airport is about half an hour away if you take your bike, so a return journey is gonna be one hour, plus about 50 minutes to find her. So I give you two hours, if your not back at my place by then, I know where to find you, Tristan Taylor!!!"
Icey patted his back, "Relax Joey, Tristan is a...well, more or less reliable...guy...he'll be back..." She said, watching Tristan run happily home to get his bike. "Where did this Serenity go anyway, and who is she to you? A girlfriend or something??"
Joey turned to her, a stress mark appeared on his forehead, "WHADDYA MEAN MY GIRLFRIEND?????? I AIN'T INCEST!!!!! SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER!!!!!!!! BAKA!!!!"
Icey sweatdropped and cowered beneath the freaky Joey, "Ok, ok, sorry I didn't know..." She stammered sheepishly.
Ryou felt he should change the subject as soon as he could, "Err, why don't we all head over to umm... Joey's place and we'll wait there for Serenity. And by the way, you never told Icey where she went, Joey"
Joey's expression changed immediately, "Oh yeah, well anyways, she went overseas on a little scholarship thingy. I forget where. And yeah sure, we can hang at my place for a while."
Kaiba folded his arms and smirked, "You all can go and sit in Joey's kennel, I have things I need to take care of"
Icey looked at him, "What? You're not coming with us?? B-but you have to come!!!" She began to sob like a 5 year old trying to con their mother into buying them an ice cream, "If you don't I'll hate you!!! I'll haunt you all the way to your grandchildren!!!!"
Kaiba's eye twitched slightly, *I bet she learned that from Mokuba, he knows I can't handle whining. When I get my hands on that little-* Duke interrupted his evil thoughts.
"Aww c'mon Kaiba, you can't say no can you? For the sake of my eardrums!!!" He said, trying his best to cover his ears from Icey's insane crying.
Kaiba rolled his eyes, "Alright FINE!!! Now shut up!!" He yelled. Icey stopped immediately.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, really" Kaiba replied.
"Yay!!" Icey latched onto his arm.
"For the love of Ra..." He groaned.
~*Meanwhile, in Ghadious' hide out place thingy underground...*~
"What happened Tetsuya? I thought you said you wouldn't disappoint me." Ghadious demanded.
Tetsuya kneeled down in submission, "Yes Lord Ghadious. I remember, but somehow the girl has unlocked the Bracelets' powers!! I was not prepared for that."
"Yes Tetsuya, enough of your pitiful excuses." Ghadious said, "Are you aware that one of the group has separated? To go and find this 'Joey's' sister? Pay him a visit, and bring her to me. We could use her to our advantage. Joey will be devastated that his friend had let him down. His anger will blind him to all other possibilities. They have been turned against each other before, but ultimately, one of them will die."
Tetsuya stood up again, "I understand sir, the power of the Kodoku poison will turn them against each other. I assure you." With that Tetsuya disappeared again.
Ghadious smirked, "From here on in, things get fun..." He laughed.

Yami scoffed, "And here I always thought YOU were the horny one..." He sneered.
Bakura panicked, he shot a glance at the two girls in the group, both Tea and Icey had a raised eyebrow, then clamped a hand over Yami's mouth, "URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI!!!!" (A/N: Just to make things more interesting, the three Yami's are kinda gonna be the comic relief at times. I've read a lot of fanfics about their insanity and it's kinda rubbed off on me.... ^-^")

Everyone blinked, and squinted at Kaiba, "Holy SHIT!! It's true!!!" Tristan yelled, taking a step forward, he slowly reached up and began to poke it, "Poku, poku..." Kaiba glared at him, then effortlessly flipped him over his head.
"I think Kaiba's power or what not has something to do with fighting don't you think so?" Joey asked.
Kaiba closed his eyes and the eye slowly faded from his forehead.
Marik pouted, "How come you idiots get a cool power and I'm left with nothing???"
Bakura put him in a headlock, "Because you're a gay ass, that's why!!"
Marik pouted again, then shook off the idiotic Tomb-Robber. Malik patted his Yami on the back,
"S'ok Marik, get over it. I'll always be the better, sexier half, with the cool stuff!!"
"You're not helping Hikari!!" Marik groaned.
Joey shook his head, despite his own stupidity, Joey was also beginning to get tired of the three yami's.
"Ok, ok, on a more serious note, we really should discuss this whole 'beam of light entering our bodies thing' right?" He asked, rubbing his forehead.
Yugi and Ryou nodded along.
"That's right..." They said together.
"Well as Kaiba just demonstrated, his physical skills and whatnot just sky rocketed. So I'm guessing that's his power, and my Millennium Rod must have new powers since it just stopped Icey and Kaiba from becoming something you have to scrape off the floor with a spatula..." Malik spoke up, deep in thought.
Tristan suddenly remembered something important, "Hey sorry guys, but I gotta jet!! I have to go and pick up Seren..." He trailed off, looking at Joey who was giving him an evil glare, "...I mean an old friend..." Tristan began to laugh uncertainly.
"Give it up man, I know who your talking about..." Joey muttered, "Just go then, but I expect Serenity to be home straight away!! The airport is about half an hour away if you take your bike, so a return journey is gonna be one hour, plus about 50 minutes to find her. So I give you two hours, if your not back at my place by then, I know where to find you, Tristan Taylor!!!"
Icey patted his back, "Relax Joey, Tristan is a...well, more or less reliable...guy...he'll be back..." She said, watching Tristan run happily home to get his bike. "Where did this Serenity go anyway, and who is she to you? A girlfriend or something??"
Joey turned to her, a stress mark appeared on his forehead, "WHADDYA MEAN MY GIRLFRIEND?????? I AIN'T INCEST!!!!! SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER!!!!!!!! BAKA!!!!"
Icey sweatdropped and cowered beneath the freaky Joey, "Ok, ok, sorry I didn't know..." She stammered sheepishly.
Ryou felt he should change the subject as soon as he could, "Err, why don't we all head over to umm... Joey's place and we'll wait there for Serenity. And by the way, you never told Icey where she went, Joey"
Joey's expression changed immediately, "Oh yeah, well anyways, she went overseas on a little scholarship thingy. I forget where. And yeah sure, we can hang at my place for a while."
Kaiba folded his arms and smirked, "You all can go and sit in Joey's kennel, I have things I need to take care of"
Icey looked at him, "What? You're not coming with us?? B-but you have to come!!!" She began to sob like a 5 year old trying to con their mother into buying them an ice cream, "If you don't I'll hate you!!! I'll haunt you all the way to your grandchildren!!!!"
Kaiba's eye twitched slightly, *I bet she learned that from Mokuba, he knows I can't handle whining. When I get my hands on that little-* Duke interrupted his evil thoughts.
"Aww c'mon Kaiba, you can't say no can you? For the sake of my eardrums!!!" He said, trying his best to cover his ears from Icey's insane crying.
Kaiba rolled his eyes, "Alright FINE!!! Now shut up!!" He yelled. Icey stopped immediately.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, really" Kaiba replied.
"Yay!!" Icey latched onto his arm.
"For the love of Ra..." He groaned.
~*Meanwhile, in Ghadious' hide out place thingy underground...*~
"What happened Tetsuya? I thought you said you wouldn't disappoint me." Ghadious demanded.
Tetsuya kneeled down in submission, "Yes Lord Ghadious. I remember, but somehow the girl has unlocked the Bracelets' powers!! I was not prepared for that."
"Yes Tetsuya, enough of your pitiful excuses." Ghadious said, "Are you aware that one of the group has separated? To go and find this 'Joey's' sister? Pay him a visit, and bring her to me. We could use her to our advantage. Joey will be devastated that his friend had let him down. His anger will blind him to all other possibilities. They have been turned against each other before, but ultimately, one of them will die."
Tetsuya stood up again, "I understand sir, the power of the Kodoku poison will turn them against each other. I assure you." With that Tetsuya disappeared again.
Ghadious smirked, "From here on in, things get fun..." He laughed.
