Chapter 3: Surprise Concert

Two days have passed and everyone seemed to be on edge ever since their encounter with Marik. Leona was the most fear stricken since she knows that her millennium bracelet is the key to Marik's dark powers. For the passed two days Leona remained calm and relaxed in front of her daughter Melissa. She didn't want her only daughter to worry so much, but Kaiba knew better. Kaiba knew how afraid Leona was even if she didn't seem to show it at times. Kaiba would always reassure Leona that she was safe and that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Of course Leona knew that Kaiba wouldn't let anything happen to her, but she always had that fear of Marik taking her away from her the people she loved.

Today is the Leona could see her two best famous friends after so long. The entire city is a buzz of excitement with reporters, cameras, and news broadcasts every hour about the biggest concert of the century as it draws near. Since the concert is being held at Kaiba Land thanks to Mokuba, duelists from all over flocked to see their idols. "Mokuba this is great for the company's reputation." Leona said as she saw thousands of people gathering at the front gate. "Yup. When Seto found out about the concert being here he got a little angry, but I think all these people will change his mind." Mokuba said as he saw his brother walking towards them.

"Mokuba this is the craziest thing you've ever done." Kaiba said smiling. "Yeah, but look at it this way Seto, at least the entire world knows about Kaiba Corp now." Mokuba told his brother. Just then Yugi and the others arrived. "Man what a turn out. I haven't seen this big of a crowd since the Battle City tournament." Joey said in awe. "Yea it's a good thing we're friends with Katrina and Blossom or we'd be standing in line all night." Yugi agreed. "It's a shame that the kids are asleep, Melissa really wanted to see Katrina and Blossom." Leona said. One of Kaiba's security men walked up to Kaiba and told him, "Sir, security is everywhere. No one will be able to get in or out once the concert starts." "Good make sure you check everyone before letting them enter the arena. Keep an eye out for Marik or any of his any of rare hunters." Kaiba ordered.

"See Leona you've got nothing to worry about. Kaiba has everything under control." Tea reassured her. Leona smiled and said, "Yea. Come on we better get inside the concert is about to start." Leona said as she looked at her watch. As everyone walked in to the arena, none of them realized that someone had already slipped into the arena with them. Everyone is backstage with Katrina and Blossom as they were getting ready for the show. They already knew about Marik since Mokuba had told them earlier.

The crowds started to gather in the arena. Everyone could hear screaming fans from behind the curtains backstage. "This is gonna be the biggest concert ever." Blossom said in excitement. "Yea thanks a lot for setting this up Mokuba." Katrina said. Mokuba just smiled. Katrina noticed the nervous look on Leona's face. "Leona, are you ok?" Katrina asked as she was adjusting her microphone. "I guess I'm a little nervous." Leona answered. Katrina put a comforting hand on her best friend's shoulder. "Don't worry about it so much. There's security everywhere. He won't get in. Besides even if he does I'll show him not to mess with my best friend." Katrina said. "What are you gonna do sis? Sing him to death?" Blossom teased. "Ha ha very funny." Katrina answered back.

A couple of minutes later Katrina and Blossom were ready along with the band and other dancers. The curtains were raised and everyone in the arena cheered. Yugi and the others were right in the front. "Good Evening Domino City!!!!" Katrina yelled. Everyone screamed and cheered again. "Before we play our hit single, we'd like to call the person on stage who wrote the lyrics to the song." Katrina said smiling. "So come on up Leona." Blossom said. Leona was real surprised when she heard her name being called. "Katrina, Blossom what are you guys doing?" Leona asked. "Giving you the credit you deserve for making this song a hit. It was your poem Light in the Darkness that made us number one." Katrina answered while pulling Leona on stage.

Leona could hear so many screaming fans as the spotlight hit her face. "Let's give it up for our best friend!" Katrina cheered. The fans started to scream and cheer louder as Leona noticed that there were so many guys staring at her. "And all you guys out there in the audience don't get any ides, because she's already married. I think everyone might know who she's married to. The CEO of Kaiba Corporation, Seto Kaiba! Come on up here." Blossom said. Kaiba reluctantly walked on stage next to Leona with his arm around her. Cameras suddenly went on and off as everyone saw the couple and cheered. "Don't they make a cute couple everyone?" Blossom asked the audience. They heard the audience go "Awwwwww……"

The band started playing as the dancers started to follow Blossom's dance moves. Katrina started singing while looking at the audience and back at her best friend with Kaiba. Leona and Kaiba were about to get off the stage when Leona saw someone in the distance. It scared her deeply. "Seto, he's here." Leona said frightened. "What are you talking about? Who's here?" Kaiba asked. "Marik, he's here." Leona answered again as she held on to Kaiba's hand tightly. Katrina and Blossom saw the scared look on Leona's face and so did Yugi and the others. Katrina and Blossom stopped everything. The audience started to complain and groan. "Leona, what's wrong?" Katrina asked. "Marik is here." Leona answered frightened.

Kaiba immediately phoned his security men. "Illuminate this entire arena now. Make sure no one gets out without being searched first." Kaiba ordered. Within seconds the entire arena was lit up and the spotlights were everywhere. Yugi and the others climbed up on stage to get a better view. "It looks like he's gone now." Mokuba said. "We better go backstage and figure out what's going on." Yugi suggested. The others agreed even if it did ruin the concert, but a life was more important than some concert. Katrina walked up to the microphone and told the audience, "Sorry everyone, we're having some technical difficulties. The concert has been canceled." She could hear the audience complain and groan as they left.

Everyone went backstage and relaxed in an empty room. "Are you sure you saw Marik?" Joey asked. "Of course I did. I wouldn't be making this up." Leona answered a little angry. "Well the security hasn't found him yet, but their still looking." Mokuba told everyone. "Leona, you should just calm down and relax." Katrina told her friend. Leona got up and said, "I'll be right back. I just have to go wash my face." Katrina and Blossom decided to go with their friend just in case.

Katrina and Blossom were guarding the entrance to the lady's bathroom while Leona was inside. (Maybe I was just seeing things. Maybe my head is just playing games with me.) Leona thought as she wiped her face with a towel. Leona turned around to leave, but she gasped in surprise as she saw Marik in front of her. Leona was about to scream, but Marik grabbed her and placed his hand over her mouth. Katrina and Blossom could hear what was going on. "Leona, you ok?" Blossom asked. They knew Leona was trouble when they heard Marik's sinister laugh. Katrina tried to open the door knob, but it was locked.

Then, they noticed that there was a strange gold aura around the door. "This is bad. We won't be able to get in with that strange aura around the door." Katrina said. "We better go back and tell the others." Katrina told her sister as they rushed back to the others. "You're friends won't be helping you now, my dear." Marik said as he watched Leona struggle to get out of his grasp. "Struggle all you want, you won't escape from me this time." Marik told her. (Guys hurry up, please.) Leona thought as she continued to struggle.
