Cars filled the parking lot of the News Broadcasting station. The sound of traffic drowned the ears of those that passed by and even the sounds of children playing not too far away fell upon deaf ears. Who else would want to come to a place like this other than two mischevious children...or ghouls rather.

The youthful Seto dashed up to the front gates, still unseen to the Employs hurrying to their cars after a long day at work in the bustling city.

"Come on Noa! Geez! No wonder you got hit by a car! You're so freakin' slow!" The boy tapped his foot and put his hands on his hips, waiting impatiently.

Noa cringed at the mention of his death. Yes he had been hit by a car and killed...but he wasn't to be thinking about that now. Now was the time to get his revenge for his father and for himself. It was time to put an end to Seto Kaiba's power...by showing all of Domino what a pervert he really was!

Noa cooly strolled his way over to the brunette boy that was his companion and the boys proceeded to open the door...only to come to find that it had been locked from the inside.

Noa pulled at his hair in anger, "Ugh! We did all of this and the stupid door is locked?!?!?! I should have known that something like this was going to happen!!!!!!"

Little Seto slapped his own forehead in disgust at the Teal-haired boy that accompanied him, "Noa? Are you stupid? Come on! We're spirits you retard! We can walk through doors! Plus, we're invisible, so we don't have to worry about getting stopped by security!"

Noa glared daggers at the boy for calling him childish names, but then loosened up. Seto had a point. They could walk through the doors of the building. Piece of cake!

The two smiled at each other and stepped through the wall. Little Seto was the first to arrive inside, "See Noa? What did I tell ya? We made it here just fine! We don't need doors. Just ourselves, and the tape!"

"Um...yeah, about the tape...I don't think that the tape has the ability to walk through walls." Noa's voice didn't hold that of disappointment, but that of amusement instead. When little Seto turned to view the problem, he found Noa's hand still partially through the wall...the tape remaining on the other side.

Yami still stood in the doorway. He was talking with his aibou*.

"Yugi, this is definitely the work of the priest spirit that dwells with in him. There are no other possibilities. I have no doubts in my mind that an ancient magic is at work here. The Priest and I did have very shaky relations...as I do recall." At those last words, Yami closed his eyes. Visions of past days fell over his mind, showing memories of happiness turn to great despair.

"Yami?" Little Yugi's wide eyes stared upward at the Pharaoh.

Slowly, the taller boy opened his eyes and smiled ever so slightly, "Yes aibou?"

Yugi frowned and looked to the floor, "Does this mean that we're going to have to hurt Kaiba?"

Yami's eyes widened. Since the priest's spirit was a permanent part of Seto Kaiba's mind, how were they to rid of it??? Yugi had a very good question, and the ancient Pharaoh was sad to have no answer, "I'm not sure young one...I'm really not sure"

Kaiba stood up with catlike grace. He calmly brushed himself of and stared into the eyes of one particular blonde.

"Heh, that's what you get for entering my room uninvited Joey." Okay, so Kaiba isn't exactly good a humor, and the faces of Yugi's pals showed it. All of them had raised an eyebrow in confusion as to why the brunette would just pass the 'little incident' off as a joke.

Kaiba just rolled his eyes and pushed his way through the smaller teens. His forehead was still beaded with sweat and he knew that his fear was showing. He was shaking...a lot. He feared the fact that Yugi might be right. He feared the fact that there may be someone in his mind. He feared the fact that he could be controlled. It was madness! Why now? When everything was so right!

It was because he showed feelings. He found where to place the blame. Because he opened the locked door for Serenity, he was controlled by a piece of his own mind! "This is why I should shown no feelings...no heart...nothing. If I would have went along with my plans, all would be well." That was the one thought that was encircling his ever-changing mind.

"Seto!" Kaiba stopped as his name was called by what seemed like the voice of an angel. But he didn't believe in angels...who else would call him by his first name? Surely it wasn't Mokuba...so who?

Seto Kaiba smiled and turned around as a warm realization came over him, "Serenity."

Almost in tears, the young girl ran to the millionaire and leaped into his arms. The others watching in total shock.

Joey was pissed!!! "YO MONEYBAGS!!! YOU BETTA GET YA HANDS OFFA MY SISTA!!!"

Kaiba just smirked and leaned his face closer to Serenity's...he was going to kiss her.

Joey rushed over and yanked Serenity from the brunette's embrace quickly and cracked his knuckles, "IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH HER AGAIN, I'LL BEAT YOU WORSE THAN GOZABURO DID!!!"

That did it. That was all it took. He threw in the step dad. Yugi and pals were horror stricken. They knew that even Seto Kaiba had limits on being insulted, and Joey had hit a sore spot.

Sapphire eyes narrowed, the smirked was now curled to an angry frown. His fists were clenched tightly, showing the veins in the top of his hand.

"Lights out........Wheeler" His voice was a low growl. He smirked again as he hurled a punch at the New Yorker's horror-stricken face. He hadn't seen it coming and therefor had no time to escape the blow. With a loud 'thud' Joey Wheeler hit the floor, unconscious.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! JOEY!!!!!!!!!" Serenity ran to her brothers' side. Yes, she loved Seto Kaiba, and what Joey said was way out of line, but that didn't give Kaiba the right to knock him out!!!

When he saw Serenity run to Joey, he marched out of the room. He let his anger get the best of him, "Who does Wheeler think he is?" He growled, "He'll think twice before barking insults at me next time." The thought of Joey with his tail between his legs amused Kaiba. "Joey is very protective of his little sister, kind of like I am with Mokuba...I need to find a way to keep Joey from getting between us all the time. I have to be on the winning side...but how?"

As he crept down the winding stairs, he went over different tactics in his mind until he came to a winning choice, "I've got it!!! I'll meet their parents, be the 'perfect boyfriend' and have their parents on my side! That way, they'll keep Joey out of my hair! HAHAHA! It's perfect!" He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and leaned against the wall, frowning, "But I think Serenity is pissed at me...oh hell, she's easy to please! I'll make her like me without a problem, then ask to meet her parents! Perfect! I'll do that after I check on Mokuba."

He went through room after room and made his way out the back door. Mokuba and all of his friends were still chillin' by the pool, Bakura obviously hadn't gone with the others. He was still on his lounge chair laying out, the sun screen still very evident on his body. Kaiba sat on the chair nearest to his brother, keeping as far away from the mysterious albino as possible, especially since his last encounter was almost fatal.

Yes, not too long from now Seto kaiba would share his idea with Serenity...and then it would all be so much easier from there!
