Hehe, I just thought I'd like to continue anyways, so, once again, * cough * THE DISCLAIMER!  I don't own anything Yu-Gi-Oh related, but I do own the Millennium Staff, Orb, and Belt, plus my three characters… So, on with the show! (ps: sorry there's more dialogue.)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "So they are immune to your Millennium Powers, and they have some sort of telepathy thing going on so they can track you guys down?"

            "Yes."

            "But if they are immune to your powers, then what makes ours any different?"

            "They have yet to experience what the original items can do.  Plus, since the Millennium Puzzle, which you are the holder of, is the most powerful, adding all of the powers of all originals should be enough to destroy them completely."

            "I see."

            "It's about time."

            "So, where are your sisters?"

            "I sense Amelia… upstairs?  She wasn't supposed to be home yet… and Diandra is still at Seto's house."

            "How?..."

            "We're sisters, remember?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Blue Eyes White Dragon, destroy her Tyrant Dragon!  And that brings your life points down to zero Diandra."

            Sighing, Diandra placed her dragon in the graveyard and looked at Seto.  "Okay, so you beat me, this time.  But next time, I will win, and just to make it more interesting, we'll make a bet.  For now though, I have to go home and see what's wrong with my sisters."

            "Sisters?  I thought Amelia was your only sister?"

            "I didn't say sisters…" Diandra said with a sweat bead, "I said, sister…"

            "I could've…"

            "Umm… do you have a phone I could use?  I have no credit and I was expected home a couple of minutes ago."

            Eyeing her suspiciously, he said, "Down the hall and second door to your left."

            "Thanks." Diandra said while exiting the room and following his directions.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "…"

            "Yes, I'm now done with my story.  So, in order for you to live long lives, we need to original items to combine with the Puzzle and destroy the Shinokis completely.

            "Me?  Join forces with the Pharaoh?  HA!  No way, never in a million years!"

            "It's not up to you whether you join or not.  It's up to Ryou because it's literally his body you're housed in.  As for your part, you just need to back him up on the power of the Ring when they combine."

            "So, what about the other items?"

            "Well… It's only you and Yugi who have to original items from Egypt till now.  As for the others, like the Rod, we'll need both Malik and Seto because they both possessed it…  I really don't know actually, what we need to do is get all of the Millennium Item bearers together and talk about it."

            "So you're just doing this blindly?"

            "Basically, yes.  Some bits we know for sure though, but I'm not allowed to tell."

            "I have ways of making people talk."

            "I've beaten you once, and I'm not afraid of beating you again."

            "I'd like…"

            Before he could even finish his statement, the phone rang and Amelia ran out the door and into the hallway to answer it.  Listening to part of Amelia's side of the conversation, he felt Ryou regain consciousness and Bakura let him take over.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Hanging up on Diandra, Amelia took a deep breathe and calmed down.  /That spoiled little brat!  She better come home now or I'll have Miroshu tell her off in front of Seto./  Laughing evilly to herself, she re-entered the room in which Ryou was in.  Sensing that Ryou had woken up and that Bakura had gone back inside the ring, Amelia sat beside Ryou on her bed.  "You feeling any better?" she asked him while removing the wet cloth from his forehead.

            Slightly nodding, he asked, "What happened?"

            Eyebrow slightly twitching, Amelia began to explain on how the school was falling apart and a bit of the ceiling fell and had knocked him out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Hanging up on Amelia, Diandra took a deep breath and calmed down.  /How dare she yell at me!  Me of all people…  Aw well, I might as well go home.  I thought I sensed Ryou and Yugi there anyways./  Walking back into the room which held the Kaiba brothers, Diandra looked at Seto and asked, "Can you have your driver bring me home please?"

            Giving her that suspicious look again, he nodded.  "I'll come with you."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Hi Ryou.  How are you feeling?"  Crystal asked the albino as she entered Amelia's room.

            "Just fine, thank you.  Amelia was just telling me how I got here."  He said in his British accent.

            "Interesting… Amelia, Ryou, please follow me downstairs.  I have information to give as soon as Diandra gets here,… Yugi's waiting there too."  She added while exiting the room with the other two following behind her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Staring out the window with her head in her hand, Diandra had a feeling something bad was going to happen.  Looking inside the limo, she caught a glimpse of Seto sitting beside her.  /He's really not that bad…/ she thought to herself.

            All of a sudden, she heard a sound of shattering glass and the over – sized car went swerving to the left, forcing Diandra to fall on top of the CEO of Kaiba Corp and laying there.  Realizing that she couldn't sense the driver's life force, she tried to get up off him but the force was too strong.  Having their bodies swerving one way to the next, Diandra felt a presence that seemed familiar.  Feeling an impact into something solid, both bodies were forced forward and when they came to the end of their falls, Diandra was the first to stand up and open the door.  Outside, she saw a group of Shinokis and all about a foot taller than she is.  /Shit…/ she thought to herself and prepared herself for battle.  Sensing someone behind her, she heard Seto say, "So… friends of yours?"

            "Not even close." She replied and lunged herself into a quick attack.  Ducking down and low kicking one of the guys, she brought him onto his butt in an instant, took out the knife that was thrown at her, and jabbed it into his stomach.  Having one dead, she charged at another one, jumped into the air and sliced his neck, making him bleed to death.  Turning around and checking up on Seto, she found out he had knocked out two of the guys as well.  Wanting to help him, she quickly stabbed both of his fallen guys, forcing them to never rise again.  Rotating to her left, she sliced another one that was charging right at her in half.

            Looking around and checking to see if she missed any of them, she saw one get away.  "Oh no, you're not getting away that easily…" she said and proceeded to chase after him.  Seeing him turn the corner into an alley way, she saw him run up on one of the fire escapes and followed.  Not slowing down, she followed him all the way to the roofs and had to duck in order to just barely miss one of his daggers.  "Well, I see we meet again."

            "Yes young warrior."  Came his telepathic voice in her head.

            "So, you're still after the power to destroy this planet, let alone the entire solar system, and to control the universe?"

            "Some things never change."

            "I see…"

            "I've missed you…"

            "Stop.  You know that is all in the past my old friend.  And it will always stay in the past."

            "I know.  I can't stop wondering why you chose this race instead of ours in Egypt."

            "I don't know why we did either, but we will make sure that those powers that you sensed over three – thousand years ago will destroy you this time."

            "Fine, what's behind us is behind us.  Ready?"

            "Born ready."  She said in her fighting stance and attacked.

            Charging at her opponent, she aimed the dagger at his heart.  Feeling his hand grab it and twist her wrist, pain ran up throughout her arm and she released it.  While kicking the dagger away from her, he punched her in the stomach and whispered in her ear, "I know I trained you better than that." and threw her to the ground.  Gasping now, she looked up in time to have him land a kick right into her jaw and forced her back towards the wall of the roof.  Looking through one good eye and one swollen one, she looked upon the dagger on the other side.  She forced herself up and swaggered a bit.  As he was charging at her, she ducked through his legs and dove for the dagger.  Once getting a good grip on it, she didn't lock on her target, but turned around and threw it blindly, eventually hearing the blade injecting itself into his chest.

            Getting up and walking over to the dead corpse, she reached out and pulled the dagger out of his chest and watched as the blood poured from the wound.  Sighing, she climbed down the fire escape and walked back onto the street towards a tall Seto Kaiba.  Once upon reaching him, she looked up into his blue eyes and a tear came down her face.  Looking down and cried, she stood there and soon she felt a pair of strong arms around her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Reaching the living room, Crystal went into the kitchen and prepared snacks while Amelia and Ryou sat on a sofa and faced Yugi.

            "Hey Yugi.  What's going on?"

            "I don't really know Ryou.  One minute, I was walking with Crystal to Papa John's and the next,…I'm hear."

            "Have you asked Yami?"

            "I've tried, but he's keeping his mouth shut.  I've tried asking Crystal as well, but her lips are sealed.  I'd never thought that I'd ever say that about a girl."

            Stifling a giggle, Ryou said, "I know what you mean, I was in school and the next, I was in Amelia's room, on her bed with a wet cloth on my head."

            "Have you tried asking Bakura?"

            "It's the same thing with Yami.  I can't get a word out of him."

            "Interesting…"

            "Is anyone hungry?"  Crystal asked while bringing out a tray filled with chocolates and sodas.

            "CHOCOLATE!" Ryou screamed and dove for the bowl of sweets.

            With a sweat bead, Crystal offered some to Yugi.  "No thank you." the little one replied and sat back to watch his friend indulge in the chocolate.

            Hearing the door open and close, Amelia walked into the hallway and saw a Seto carrying a crying Diandra.  Both people had bloodstains all over themselves and looked like crap.  Running up to her sister, Amelia took her from Seto and climbed the stairs with Seto behind her.

            "What happened?" Amelia asked Seto as she took a wet rag and tried to wash Diandra tear and blood stained face.

            "We were attacked."

            "By who?"

            "The.. the… the… Shin… Shinokis." Diandra stammered out.

            "And why was this encounter so different from the others?" Amelia asked.

            "He was there, and… and…"

            "And?"

            "And I killed him." Diandra finished while bursting into even more tears.

            Shocked that her sister had an encounter that was great enough to have gotten her killed, Amelia held her sister tight and gently rocked her back and forth until her uncontrollable sobs transformed into steady, evenly breathing.  Pulling back from her, she laid Diandra on the bed and put a loose strand behind her ear.  Remembering that Seto was there, she faced him, got up, and left the room, closing the door behind her.

            Kneeling down beside the bed, Seto looked upon Diandra and thought to himself, /She's actually decent looking when she's sleeping./  His hand subconsciously reached out and stroked her cheek.  He soon felt himself leaning in and his lips on top of hers.  Shocked that he'd even think about doing such a thing, let alone actually doing it, he pulled apart and called up Mokuba.

            One he heard his younger brother's voice he said, "Sorry lil' bro, I'm going to be a bit late coming home tonight.  You'll survive."  Hearing his brother saying he'd be alright, Seto hung up and stared at her once again, waiting for her to wake up.
