DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I do, however, own the plot of this fanfic.
(A/N: Seto Kaiba = Kaiba and Priest Seto = Seto)
As Kaiba got cozy on the snow-white lounge chairs, Yugi and the others examined what the young millionaire had obliviously left behind.
The metallic luster in the ancient gold of the Millennium Rod gleamed with a harsh light as the sun from the bedroom window reflected off its rounded surface. It lay on the floor, seeming perfectly innocent as though it were an artifact and nothing more. However, Joey and the others knew better than to be fooled by its seemingly harmless guise.
Much like Bakura's Millennium Ring, the Millennium Rod held an evil spirit within that wanted nothing more than to defeat the Pharaoh, Yami, and obtain all of the Millennium Items to gain total control over the entire world. But, like all of the other power-hungry spirits out there, the ancient priest knew that he would have to use a few tricks to accomplish this goal and that controlling his hikari would make the job an easier task.
Serenity and the others stared at the Millennium Rod as though it were death itself and would lash out to take their lives if they were to make any movement. An intense feeling hung in the air as the clock ticked in time with each and every heartbeat.
Joey, who had only recently regained consciousness, followed the eyesight of his friends to find the golden object laying abandoned on the soft carpet less than three feet away. Taking the silence as a hint, he followed their lead, watching that rod as though it were some sort of animal preparing to attack.
The warm sun beat down hard onto the pale skin of Bakura Ryou. A sharp, burning sensation covered the parts of his body exposed to the harmful rays. His mothers words flooded his mind. "You need to apply more sun screen every hour or so, otherwise you'll end up looking like a cherry with whipped cream on top!" She would chuckle, just like she did after every joke she had made about his lack of pigment.
Bakura was feeling rebellious and decided not to put more sun screen on (ohhh...he's bad lol). Instead, he threw his legs over the side of the chair and commenced to lift his delicate body up.
Taking notice of the movement out of the corner of his eye, Kaiba glanced casually over at the young albino and sneered. To Kaiba, the gentle boy was a clever disguise to lure in unknowing people and take what he wanted.
Bakura calmly made his way inside to find out where his friends had gone, being especially careful not to make eye contact with the Brunette that watched him.
Seto Kaiba's eyes went wide with sudden recognition. The Millennium Ring that 'killer Bakura' had worn was now nowhere to be seen. Could it be true that the ring controlled the innocent boy? And what about Yugi? Kaiba knew well that the Pharaoh came from the puzzle. It all added up. All that time calling Yami a liar and disbelieving the many stories of priesthood and such. Here the answer was, right in his face.
The ancient holders of the Millennium Items had their souls trapped inside...and their quest to rule as Pharaoh still continued, even though it was a new age...the ancients were in a fight, and the present item holders had been sucked in. Some spirits were for good...some for bad...
And his was bad.
The house was quiet, almost as if the house itself had died. It made the young English boy a bit uneasy but he never once let his adorable smile leave his lips. Journeying through the mansion, Bakura continued the search for his friends, being sure to check every room. Then a thought crossed his mind. Why had they even gone inside in the first place? As he questioned himself, he kept searching. 'Oh yeah...now I remember! They went in to help Kaiba!' He nodded in satisfaction at his thoughts...then came to an abrupt stop, a frown creeping onto his lips.
Kaiba was outside...so why would they be inside? Had Kaiba hurt them? Were they trapped? His mind whirled with frantic questions, making him feel dizzy.
Shaking his young mind free of all the madness, he took up his search yet again. It crossed his mind that they may be in the millionaire's bedroom. The silence made him slightly doubt his thought, but it never hurt to take a look. Making up his mind, Bakura ventured up the elegant staircase...
A hypnotic daze drifted in the air of Seto Kaiba's bedroom. Still no one moved. Anyone who saw them might have called it ridiculous. However, they were all lost in their thoughts, contemplating the days happenings and trying to add everything up and come to a reasonable answer to explain it all.
The room was silent and all were in a sort of undisturbed trance, their focus seemingly on the Millennium Rod while their thoughts wandered elsewhere. Their ears hadn't picked up the light creaking of the stairs or even the soft footsteps that made their way to the bedroom.
Bakura peeked in and was overwhelmed with relief and yelled in happiness, "HI!!!!!!!!!"
That was a mistake. The group jumped up from their resting places and nearly hit the ceiling, they were screaming their loudest and had fallen over toward the farthest wall. Bakura, who hadn't expected this, was also lost in a fit of screams as he quickly backed out of the room and toward the opposite wall.
Kaiba arched a thin eyebrow. The screaming going on inside could faintly be heard outside. Smirking, he ignored the commotion and turned his attention back to Mokuba and the others.
It grew quiet, Serenity held her chest as her heart pounded. They had realized that it was only Bakura.
Joey charged toward the albino and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him roughly, "DON'T YA EVA DO DAT TA US AGAIN!!! YA HEAR ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
With fear of Joey's wrath clearly evident in the smaller boy's eyes, Joey released him and sighed.
Yugi giggled slightly at the little fright Bakura had given them. Quite ironic really, since they had expected the rod to frighten them and not the quiet British boy. Yugi's eyes were at their widest now. In all the screaming, they had taken their eyes away from that rod.
Looking back to the middle of the floor, Yugi gasped, giving him the attention of all of his friends, "You guys," He whispered, "It's gone..."
That's all for this chapter! You like? Rate and review!
