"Love is Sweet Salvation"

***********************************

Howdy! I'm here again! Yeah, I know that chapter 6 had a strange twist, but that is my specialty!!! Anyways, here is chapter 7! I'm trying to post more than one chapter a day. I'm on the computer 24/7, so it isn't very hard. Now on to the ficcie! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I only own the plot of this story.

***********************************

Serenity remembered seeing a bright blue flash reflection on the mirror behind Kaiba. She didn't even have the time to scream. She had immediately blacked out...

As Serenity awoke the next morning, she sat up and examined the room around her. Everything was the way it had looked the other night, and Seto Kaiba was sleeping like a baby right beside her. She decided that it was best to just pass the flash off as a wild dream or hallucination. Kaiba would probably call her crazy if she mentioned it to him.

She slid out of his VERY comfortable bed and left the room. She let Kaiba sleep. She didn't want to wake him. He look so happy when he was asleep...so peaceful. Serenity looked down at herself. Seto Kaiba's long, green, button-down shirt nearly reached her knees! No wonder Kaiba always tucked it in...of course, he had recently been wearing a white coat and a black sweatshirt along with some sexy leather pants.

Serenity was now out in the enormous hallway that she had passed through just the other night. A shiver went down her spine as she, once again, noticed that screwed up spot on the wall. She tiptoed over to it and ran a hand down every dip and bump.

"Having fun?" A voice came from behind her. She quickly recognized it as Kaiba. He sounded a bit nasal...so THAT's what he sounded like in the morning!

Serenity spun around and hugged him, "No, it's just that it looks funny."

Kaiba looked at her then at the wall, "Now that you mention it, it DOES look a little messed up." He ran a hand over the surface. He could reach higher than Serenity, and hit a large bump near the top, "Odd..." He whispered. Being a curious boy, Kaiba began to roughly tap at the plaster until it began to fall off.

Both of them gasped. He had revealed the corner of a copper plate. Kaiba went wide-eyed. Did he really want to know who's door had been covered up? He had never actually noticed this before. He glanced at Serenity. She stared at the covered plate with eager, young eyes.

So Kaiba began to tap at it again...without warning, a large chunk of plaster fell off and crashed in a puff of dust onto the floor, revealing the full name plate.

Noa.

Kaiba didn't move. Neither did Serenity. Both were lost in memories of battle city** (see the bottom of this chapter). Noa had knocked the battle ship off course and then kidnaped Mokuba. He wanted Seto Kaiba dead. Noa came close to achieving his goal...but Yami Yugi was able to stop him. Yes, Noa was a monster trapped inside a child's body...or hologram rather, but that was a whole 'nother story in it's self!

The fact was, Serenity and Kaiba remembered all of this, and then to see his name...it was like the nightmare was beginning again and they were in the midst of it.

Within moments, Kaiba was able to shake away the shock that had swept over him, "I want to see his room. I want to see what is on the other side of this door. All that I have to do is hire some people to chip off the plaster for me. It shouldn't take long. You should tell your brother where you are."

Serenity looked to the floor, "He thinks that I'm at Mai's house, remember?"

Kaiba mentally slapped himself. DUH! He had watched as she called her brother and flat out lied to him. If she told her brother where she had REALLY gone, she wouldn't be allowed out of the house alone until she was 18!

Joey woke up and stretched his arms, "I wonda what my sis is up to."

He picked up the phone that was on his night stand and dialed Mai's number.

"Hello?" Mai answered.

Joey smiled, "Is Serenity up yet? I was thinkin about maybe takin her out fer breakfast."

"Um, Joey" Mai began, "Serenity never came to my house..."

Joey panicked, "SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS STAYIN DA NIGHT A YER HOUSE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE DAT MY OWN FLESH AN BLOOD LIED TA ME!!! I BET YOU SHE SLEPT OVER AT RICH BOYS MANSION!!! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT SNOBBY FREAK, I'M GONNA RING HIS NECK!!!" angrily, he slammed the phone back on the receiver and ran to his car. He was still in his pajama's, but he didn't care about that right now. He had to get to his siter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tires screeched outside the mansion. The guards let the boy in. They knew why he was there.

As Joey ran inside and up the stairs he saw a cloud of whit dust and heard the sounds of machinery. Through it all, the blonde could see his sister. She was wearing one of Kaiba's shirts. She was leaned up against Seto Kaiba's side and he has his arm wrapped around her.

He marched over to the two and pulled Serenity away. He saw the terror in his sister's eyes. She knew that she was in trouble. Before he could start screaming, the men with the machines left and he saw that they had revealed a door. The doorknob was missing, but it was a door nonetheless.

The white powder had covered everyone and everything. A powdery Kaiba reached two fingers inside the hole where a doorknob once was and was about to pull it open...but he jump back when he felt that someone was watching him. He could feel it...something was near. Obviously Serenity and Joey had felt it too. They were glancing around worriedly but when they looked down the hall, the stopped completely.

Kaiba spun around to face the direction in which they looked. He saw why. About three feet away, covered in white dust, was little Seto. It was pretty creepy at first, but Kaiba just laughed. The ghost-child shook the dust away and Kaiba's throat went dry. It wasn't little Seto who had paid him a visit. It was Noa. The REAL Noa.

Noa looked his step brother right in the eyes and smirked mischieviously, "Where do you think you're going?"

****************************

**All of the finalists of Battle City go on a giant blimp called the "Battle Ship." As they are heading to Alcatraz Tower, the place where the tournament finals will take place, the Battle Ship is knocked off course. The cannon that had knocked it off course had come from a fortress under the sea. It was the work of Noa, Seto's dead step brother. Noa controls the blimp and brings it into the fortress. That is what begins the "Noa Arc" (No pun intended.). I don't have time to explain the whole thing, but those episodes will come to america soon. America is on episode 76 and Noa first appears in episode 98! (Some of the information could change. I have written that summary from information off of the Japanese anime...the dubbers will probably change a lot of it.

If you want more Noa information or information on the Noa Arc or Egyptian Arc than please e-mail me at: kiokukaiba@yahoo.com!

SPOILER: In ancient Egypt, Seto and Yami were cousins!!!
