BeautyBabe- Aww, thanks. Well, here is the next chapter! It'll be longer, trust me. -

Chibichib- HERE IT IS! The next Chappie!!!

Chapter... uh... 3!!!

I lay there. I stare into the sky.

Finally.

I am free.

I got up slowly off of my back and cursed. There I sat, half-clothed with bandaging wrapped around my middle. I scowled as I took it off. Why would I have bandaging for a wound that wasn't even there? (A/N: Hmmm.......... freaky huh?) I stood up and took a glimpse at the surroundings.

'Awkward...' I thought 'Everything stayed the same since I left ten years ago. Same buildings, same streets. I thought at least something would change.' I sighed. There may be a great similarity in the buildings, but even so, there was a great difference.

"Where are all of them?"

The town that I had grew up in, once a striving community, where everybody knew each other ceased to exist. There was no person in sight. No children laughing, no drunkards playing their usual game of chicken on their motorcycles. The place was a ghost town, where even tumbleweeds didn't roll by.

Ten years... so familar... but so different.

Sakura...

I swear I'l find you. When I do, I'll make a vow. A vow to kill our father. A vow for revenge.

And I intend to keep my vow fufilled. No more pretending. I am NOT Yugi Mutou. I remember. I remember everything. I am Shota. Shota Takahakoi. No fake Sakura can fool me anymore. I was a man on a mission to find his lost sister.

A cobra with bright blue eyes slithered through the grass and over my feet. I picked him up, placing him on my shoulder.

"Keyla."

Yes Shota? (A/N: Way Keyla talks in animal form)

"Did you run into any problems?"

Not anything big. When I transfered us here, I only intended to take you and me only. Unfortunatly, I took Wheeler, Yami, Bakura, and Kaiba as well....

I grinned. "You may have talented mind-reading skills and bluffing, but ever since I've known you, you could never get a spell right."

It shouldn't pose that much of a problem.

"Wrong. It can and probably will form into a great problem indeed. Espcially with Seto Kaiba."

The reincarnation of the Ancient Egypt preist?

"Half right. But he is not a full reincarnation."

You mean...

"Yes. It was Sake that is the true reincarnation. But after Kura killed him, he was reincarnated again."

To Seto Kaiba.

"Correct." I frowned as I looked up into the lifeless sky.

Kura...Kura... I WILL kill you. You don't deserve the title of father anymore, and you never did. Keyla tightened his grip on my shoulder

Let's go.

"No."

But what do you mean?

"You can't come with me. I have to deal with this on my own. You go ahead and find the others. Keep them safe. I don't want anyone else to meet the same fate as all of the innocent people Kura murdered." I would have sworn I saw a small smile.

I will do.

"One more thing," I said, "Don't tell them either..."

Heehee... to think I'm taking orders from a twelve year old....

"Yeah. Haha, very funny. Shut up before I tie you into a pretzel."

Heh. So, do you think taking the kid's soul...

I glared at him and he froze. "I told you not to bring that up. If the others ever figure out our secret... they'll kill us both." I looked at the rock behind us.

What is it? I ignored him.

"I know you're over there Seto Kaiba. come on out."

&&&&&&&&&&&

Seto POV

Oh shit.

I slowly stood up from behind the rock, trying to mask my fear and nervousness. Yugi... or whoever it was stared at me with dull eyes. The way he looked, he didn't look like he even cared.

"How much did you hear..."

"Uh...." I stuttered. This was definetly NOT Yugi. "Nothing. Not a word..."

The snake on his shoulder dropped to the dirt.

He lies... I shuddered. The voice... it wasn't audible. It was in my head. Yugi frowned.

"Well Keyla... if he can hear you, he must of heard... but no normal being could actually translate it. Eh, Priest?"

"What did you do to Yugi...."

"Heh... I guess he saw through our wall."

But if he knows....!!!

"It doesn't matter. He isn't all bad. It wouldn't hurt to tell him anyways. Someone deserves to know, friend or foe..."

I gulped. I didn't know whether I would want to hear it or not.

"Don't be frightened. You have probably heard of a case like this before with Yami. This is quite different. I didn't mean to alarm you, but I am helping Yugi."

"How?!"

"You see, I am Shota Takahakoi. A spirit. I died when I was twelve, trying to save my baby brother and sister from someone known as Kura. They were both twins at age two. I tried everything to save them. In the end, my sister was kidnapped and my brother disappeared. My soul was restless. I had to find them, I knew they were alive. After nine endless years of searching, I ran into Keyla, my old companion that died and was reincarnated. Amazingling, he still had powers of telekinesis."

I found this very hard to believe. But I stood there and listened.

"Then, a year went by and I found... I found my brother. He had obvious memory loss of the whole incident with Kura. He had a great life, with friends and not a care in the world. Until... until he got shot."

My eyes widened. "What are you saying?"

He sighed. "I know it is difficult to believe, but have at least some trust in me. My name is Shota. And Yugi is my brother."

I stood there speechless. As crazy as it sounded... it was somewhat belivable. "Well.. if that is so then how is it that you look exactly like him?!?"

"I... took over his body. After he got shot, I knew he would remember. You see, the man who came in with the girl was Kura. That wasn't even Sakura, she would have been fourteen. Kura was the one that shot Yugi."

"Why does he want him dead?"

"He and Sakura found out too much about his secret life he was leading. But they were only two..." his voice cracked.

"What?"

"Kura is our father."

Joey POV

Oh God Oh God Oh God...

I layed there behind some bushes, listening in to their conversation. And I was scared to death. It wasn't believable... but yet, I know it was true.

I scowled at the snake. I found out that HE was that little brat Keyla. He had told me a lie when I was in the alley. To cover it up was my guess.

But then why did Yug... or Shota tell Kaiba?

"Wheeler, get out of there."

I jumped at the sound of Yugi's voice. He knew that I was here. I stood up and walked toward him.

"Is it true then?" I asked, staring at Y... Shota. He nodded.

"Even I have... have trouble believing it."

"Then why did the little shit Keyla lie to me?"

Shota chuckled. "At the time, we were supposed to keep it a secret. What did he say to you?"

"That Yugi was actually twenty-two and had stopped growing ten years ago. I'd like to twist that snake into a pretzel..."

Not funny...

Shota however, was bending over laughing. So... he was telling the truth...

It was then that I realized that he wanted to me to hear every word he said.

Shota giggled as he straightened up. "So Kaiba, Wheeler... join us?"

"Whatever to take to get my buddy back," I said.

"Fine..." I shot a look at Kaiba, but inside I knew that he was just as desperate as I was. If I only knew...

You see, Ryou and Yami weren't the only ones transfered here. I saw what looked like a black furball running toward Kaiba.

"Mokuba?!?
