Yami: Dammit and I thought I was free
Me: Not bloody likely. No one can get rid of me. *laughs evilly*
Yami: *frowns* Ok TGAG lost it. Oh and she doesn't own YGO. And congratulations to Latias on being the 70th reviewer.
Me: OMG I have 70 reviews?*Yami nodes* AWK! *passes out*
Yami: Oh well.

Malik stumbled to one side as Bakura pushed pass him followed by Y.Malik.
"You're one tough kid to find." Bakura smirked and crossed his arms. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Take your pick."
Everyone turned to Kariko. Something seemed to shift behind her eyes as she started walking towards Bakura. Her eyes seem to bleed into a color almost black and her own power swirled around her creating small air currents as she moved.
"My choice is neither. You bring nothing but pain and suffering to others. I will protect my friends and if that means killing you so be it." She said. Bakura stepped back out into the hall as Kariko moved forwards.
Shit where'd that kid get that kind of power? He thought. Y.Malik didn't know what to do. He didn't really want to kill anyone it was all Bakura's idea. "C'mon we're out of here for now." Bakura hissed at him. Y.Malik nodded and took off down the hall followed by Bakura. "We'll be back."
"And we'll be waiting." Yugi shouted. He then turned to Malik to help him up.
"I'm really starting to hate those two." Seto muttered.
"I think we all agree with ya there." Jou said. Ryuu turned to Kariko to find her still standing where she had stopped when Bakura and Y.Malik had left. Her eyes where still black, not really focusing on anything, but the power trip had stopped.
"Are you okay, Mitsukai?" She asked quietly. Kariko slowly turned her head until the full weigh of her gaze fell on Ryuu. Ryuu shuddered under that gaze; it was full of nothing but hatred and revenge. She forced herself to take a step forward. Suddenly that power was back in full force and it was like trying to walk through water. It was getting harder for everyone to breathe.
"Don't come any closer." The voice said. It didn't sound like Kariko at all. Yami had a feeling for what was going on.
"Stop Ryuu. I think that since this is the first time Mitsukai has tapped into her power she can't control it fully." He said. He put his hand out in front of him and brushed it through the power. It was almost scalding and when he pulled away it clung like toffee. "Ok Mitsukai, just calm down and remember we're your friends. You don't need to fear us." He said gently. Kariko closed her eyes and went to her knees.
"I'll be ok. Just give me a few minutes to gather myself." She whispered. Slowly the power in the room receded and Kariko tried to get to her feet but stumbled. Ryou went to help her but Yugi stopped him.
"Let her try."
Kariko tried again and this time she was able to get to her feet but swayed and almost fell. Seto figured she had been through enough and slowly moved towards her. Kariko swayed and passed out but Seto caught her before she hit the floor.
"We really should move but I think Kariko needs her sleep more." He said as he started towards the room where she slept. Yugi was at his heels. He wanted to be close to his 'sister' just in case something should happen.
After Kariko was tucked into bed everyone was sitting in the main part of the hotel room.
"What do we do now?" Ryou asked. "We defiantly can't stay here." She got up from her spot on the couch and paced behind the couch. "We've got to do something. I've never seen Mitsukai so…I don't know."
"Angry, mad, pissed. You pick." Jou shrugged. Ryuu gave him a look that caused him to shut his mouth before he said anything else.
"So anyone got any ideas?" Yami asked causally.
"I do. Let's find Bakura and Y.Malik before they find us." A voice behind them said. Everyone turned to see Kariko leaning against the door from. Her head was slightly bowed so she was looking at everyone through a veil of hair. She pushed off from the doorway and almost seemed to glide rather than walk across the room. "I want them dead and if I want it I'm sure in hell going to get it." She smirked. Yami and Ryuu didn't like the change in Kariko.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked quietly. Kariko smiled but it was more of a barring of teeth.
"There is nothing wrong with me Yugi. I've just come to terms with what I am and what I can do. And the first item on my list is to kill two certain people." She hissed. Her eyes bleed back to black and suddenly her power filled the room. Yami got off the couch rather quickly.
"What is going on with you Kariko?" He asked and stood in front of Kariko.
"My name isn't Kariko it's Mitsukai and as I told Yugi there is nothing wrong with me and get out of my way." And lashed out with her power. Yami was knocked off his feet and Kariko walked passed him and out the door.
"I think we're in big trouble now." Seto mumbled. Ryou and Malik nodded their agreement.
