All right. I'm fired up to go on this one, so I'm doing this one before 'Taming the Apocalypse', which according to many people (guess what 5 of my new emails were) isn't the best v_v oh joy, I feel so loved.

And, as usual, the status of different people.

A Warning Given

Seto Kaiba's POV

Stupid laptop. This was taking more effort then it was worth. I don't see how hooking up a simply computer could take so much time, and the fact that the inn had an old connection didn't seem to be helping it any.

I sighed and leaned back in my chair, staring at the screen. This was taking too long. What the hell had happened to our driver.

"LUNCH IS READY!!" I heard Jounouchi call from wherever he was. I sighed at reached to turn off the computer I was working on.

I stood up when something on the laptop caught my eye.

Sit.

I stared at it and went to see what was wrong.

Sit Seto Kaiba.

I blinked and went to unplugg it.

After it was unplugged I got up to make sure it was really off.

Tsk tsk. You sure don't take orders well do you?

I raised an eyebrow. 'What the fuck?' I thought.

-sigh- Please sit Kaiba? There. Is that better?

The text dissappeared.

Fine.

I felt a rather large weight appear on my sholders, pushing my towards the chair and into it.

Thank you.

I looked at the computer uncertainly.

I finally typed, [What is this? How did you hack into my laptop? How did you get past the firewall?]

Firewall? I have no idea what that is. But I do know, Seto Kaiba, that you are going to listen to me.

[And why's that?]

Cause your brother's souls at stake.

My eyes widened.

I stared at it. Shocked.

[What?]

I'm going to kill your brother. That clear enough for you?

[Who are you?] I typed, furious that someone would even threaten someone from my family.

Someone, who is going to add 8 more people to my doll collection. And I'm going to use you to do it.

[How?]

Take a guess.

I frowned and closed the lid.

I started to walk off to find Mokuba. Some deranged loony wasn't going to harm him.

Really Kaiba. I'm trying to warn you and you don't pay any attention? That's not a good idea, I can tell you that.

I spun around, looking around the room.

"Show yourself."

Do you want me too? I mean really want me too?

I looked around the room. The voice had sounded so close, but far as well.

"Hey Kaiba, you coming or what?" said a voice from behind me.

I jumped and turned around.

"Jounouchi! Don't do that!" I yelled.

He blinked. "Do what?"

"Sneak up on me!"

"Seez, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you or anything, but lunch is ready."

I nodded and he left the room. I looked back at my laptop and the lid was open.

I walked over to it against better judgement and looked at the screen.

Ready for me Kaiba? I AM going to show myself. Be ready for when I do. Nothing will stop me. Not even you.

My blood chilled as I felt someone else in the room.

I left quickly for lunch.

Bakura no Yami's POV

That bitch of a ghost was going to get it. I swear to you and all of the deity's that have ever graced the sky, no one, and I repeat, no. one. Touches Bakura. No one who doesn't want to commit suicide. I was going to kill the bitch outright. Leave her begging for mercy. When I got my hands on her…..

I walked down the hall and bumped into Anzu.

"Bakura, have you seen Yugi and everyone else?"

"Probably." I replied and she rasied an eyebrow.

"They're at lunch."

"And your not going?" she asked.

"Nope, not hungry."

"Ok then Bakura. We'll save something for you, I suppose."

"Yep." And I walked past her into Bakura's room.

I saw that Honda had already unpacked. Might as well get some stuff out for Bakura.

/Yami? Is she here still?/ he asked. He was scared, I knew. Imagine, I must have freaked him out really badly.

/You did./ crap. He got that thought.

//Yes, well. She's gone now. I think. Do you want out?//

I felt him nod mentally, rather meekly.

I returned to the ring, then left. I was going to keep lookout.

Bakura walked over to the suitcase and began to take out a spare set of clothes and put them in the drawers.

He stopped suddenly and dropped them.

His eyes grew wide, he placed a head over his mouth and stepped back.

I came forward and looked into the drawer.

I saw a doll shaped like Bakura.

I just stood there. He wasn't moving.

//Oh crap. Not more mind games!//

He started to breathe heavily.

//Oh Bakura. She's toying with you. Just relax. She isn't going to hurt you. I'll make sure of it.//

He just stared. Clearly terrified out of his wits. I growled slightly.

//Don't look at it Bakura.//

He gradually turned his head and went to the bed, flopping on it.

/…yami…..we…….have to tell them. Have too warn them./

//Yes, we do..//

/You do it. I don't think I can./

I nodded at took control of his body again.

Standing up I reached for the doll.

It had turned for one that looked innocent into one that was scowling.

I raised my eyebrows and picked in up, only to feel my energy being drained into it.

I promptly dropped it.

It vanished on it's way down.

//Well so much for that….//

/Yami, I really think she's out to get me…./

//Tsh. Let her try.//

/…..mmmnn…/ he shifted uncomfortably in his soul room.

//Don't worry. She's trying to scare you. In fact, all she might want is for us too leave. You've watched enough ghost movies and such to know that.//

/I don't think---/

//No. You don't. You stopped one day and forgot to start again. Now be quite why'll I go tell Yuugi and everyone else.//

He lowered his head. He looked ready to cry. My little light was having a bad day indeed.

//Go to sleep. You need it.//

He really didn't want to sleep. Too scared probably.

//How can she get you in here? She can't unless she destroys me, in which case I'm sure you'll be awake. So, go to sleep.//

He nodded and got under the covers in his soul room.

/Alright. But at the first sign of trouble, I want you too wake me up./

//Deal.//

I really do have a very innocent hikari.
