"Urgh...where am I?"

Yami sat up groggily and looked around, noticing a ball of fur curled up by his feet he recognised it as Kuribo.

"Kuribo? Where is Mahaado? Kuroi?"

Kuribo uncurled and gave a squeak, indicating it had no idea.

"And why is it so hot here? Oh."

He instantly realised where the intense heat was coming from when he looked around and saw nothing but walls of flames. They seemed to be in some king of maze, an open topped corridor, the sky was black, and the walls were made of dancing flames.

"Kuribo? You might want to be careful; I'm guessing you're going to be pretty flammable."

Kuribo's eyes widened and he floated away from the walls to the centre of the corridor. Wiping some sweat from his forehead Yami stood up and began to walk down the corridor, Kuribo following.

"We have to get out of this maze...it's so hot here..."

Yami took off his jacket and tied it around his waist, exposing his leather sleeveless top, very tight and it showed off his lean muscles. Although he was beginning to regret his choice of clothing in the heat.

"Is that...a town? Kuribo a town, we're saved!"

Kuribo perked up slightly, his fur damp with sweat.

The two hurried to the entrance, Kuribo floating as fast as he could. When they reached the town they were greeted by a crowd all gathered around a night club. It was already quite late and they all seemed to want to get in.

As they neared they saw a security guard at the entrance.

"I'm very sorry, but the Blue Eyes party is strictly invitation only."

"But we want to see the Blue Eyes!"

"Stuff the Blue Eyes; I want to see their entertainment! Tejina is awesome!"

Yami moved closer, and saw a poster on the wall of the venue;
All three Blue Eyes here tonight!
Invitation only party, with great entertainment from the one and only Tejina!
Guaranteed to be the greatest show you'll ever see!
"Hmm, have you ever heard of Tejina, Kuribo?"

Kuribo shook it's head/body, then pointed to a picture underneath with it's paw.

"She must be good, whoever she is, and pretty too! Although, she seems so familiar..."

The crowd had virtually dispersed, and the security guard was gone. So Yami took the opportunity to sneak in through the open door into the club, dragging Kuribo with him. They ended up in a dark room, with only a single door.

"Come on, through here, I can hear music in that room there."

Yami pushed open the door and found himself in a large room with lots of tables. There were groups of duel monsters at each table; at the centre front was the Blue Eyes table.

All three were there just as the poster had said.

Yami and Kuribo found the only spare table and sat down. They were at the front, just to the right of the Blue Eyes table. Suddenly the lights went out, and the light music which had been playing was shut off. A voice came in over the intercom.

"And now, please put your hands/paws/whatever together for...Tejina!"

Music started up as the lights on the stage came back on, revealing four dancers. They were very good, but Yami doubted that any of them were Tejina; the way she had been portrayed made it seem as if she was something very special.

The music was pretty dark, and suddenly a sweet angelic voice could be heard, although the owner was no where in sight.

"I know you're there
In the corner of the room
Waiting for me
But you don't know why."

A girl came walking onto the stage; she had blonde hair that cascaded halfway down her back. She was wearing a black and red outfit, black shorts and a strappy red top, black knee-high boots and had several black belts around her waist. Her wrists were adorned with silver bangles.

There was a silver chain around her neck which had her crystal, a rose quartz, on it.

"The way you look tonight
I can't help but stare
And I know you're feeling it too
So why deny yourself?"

Kuribo was hovering an inch above the actual seat of his chair, and was getting a little bored. In his opinion Tejina wasn't that great, although every male in the audience had their eyes on her. Including-

Kuribo glared at Yami, although Yami wasn't paying attention. He was staring at Tejina with pink hearts in his eyes. Kuribo frowned, Yami was with Yugi, he shouldn't be looking at that girl like that.

"And I know that you are taken
But I could better
The way your eyes are longing
I know you feel it too"

Yami's crimson eyes widened as reality struck in. Tejina was staring right at him, with a deep lusting in her eyes. She took the microphone from the stand and jumped off the stage, several bracelets jingling together.

"I want you
You want me too
So what's the point in playing games?
When I could be yours?"

Tejina had walked right up to Yami and Kuribo's table; she jumped onto the mahogany surface then slid over to Yami, who had turned an interesting shade of red. She began playing with his blonde bangs as she continued to sing.

"I'm right here
So for tonight
Let me be yours."

As soon as she finished the last word she discreetly dropped a note into Yami's lap as she crawled off the table, and then made her way back to the stage. Bowing she exited the stage to loud applause and whistles from the guys.

The lights returned around the seating area and everyone began to get out of their seats.

Yami looked down into his lap and retrieved the note, unfolding it he noticed it was written untidily in lip stick. Tejina had obviously written this in a hurry.

Yami,

you are in great danger. The Blue Eyes already know of your presence and are putting more effort into the upcoming battle. They are going to attack sooner than you thought.

Forget Yugi, he's as good as dead. Just make sure that you stop the Blue Eyes. They will be meeting at a secret room, just follow Saji, he won't notice.

But first, meet me in my dressing room. There are thing I wish to...discuss with you Master.

xXxTejinaxXx

The letter had been sprayed in perfume, the same kind Tejina had been wearing.

"Kuribo, I'm going to go find Tejina, okay? You follow Saji and find out what room they're in. I'll be quick."

Kuribo looked furious; Yugi would not be pleased to know that Yami was off with that girl.

"Look, I knew I recognised her from somewhere, I know who she is. I trust her completely, and she will not do anything to dishonour mine and Yugi's relationship."

Kuribo squeaked and floated off in trace of the Dark Clown.

Yami sighed and made his way to Tejina's room.
