I looked up from the book, shaking my head. It was sad. I closed the tome, just for a moment, in amazement and disbelief. Then I realized that I now knew the spell Anthony did!! So anything the people I am reading about in was of spells, what they learn and held within the tome as such is passed onto me. I quickly used the spell of repair and fixed the broken key. Time to get Joey out from upstairs and maybe there would be another chapter page. I headed up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Joey, are you okay?" I asked, drawing out the key.
"Yeah, but there's creepy stuff up here. I'm hungry!" he complained. I unlocked the door, and Joey stared. Then he cheered, bolting down the stairs towards the smell of food. Yugi then came out a door and upstairs to join me. He had turned into his other self for some reason. I sort of stared for a moment, he blushed.
"Oh, well, I did this… so I could protect you better," he said, which I didn't see as a true explanation at all. He must have been fighting with Seto again, the idiots. "Anyways, may I come with? I heard the toilet was up here." I nodded, completely unsure of what would be up here. He took my hand; then we headed down the hallway. As we turned, Yugi gasped. I looked over, and saw a ghost. The ghost or spirit or whatever turned and looked directly at me, then walked through a wall. I ran up to the spot he walked through, and ran my fingers all around the wall until I found the old outline of a door. It had been covered up for some reason. I looked down this hall, and saw a rune barrier blocking the old stain glass window. I hadn't really noticed the barrier before. I knew where the bathroom was though, and Yugi needed it. I went in first, to make sure it was safe, and I was drawn towards the bathtub.
FLASH
I saw myself in the bathtub, I was naked and my blood was filled in it. I was on my side on my head and my arms were on the sides of the tub. I heard a scream.
FLASH
I was back, and Yugi was cradling me in his arms, and I was crying and trembling.
"What did you see?" he asked.
"I was… in the tub… dead… blood… mine… in tub…" I cried shakily, and Yugi's grip tightened on me and whether he wanted it to or not, it happened. I snuggled closer against him. It must have been a sanity effect or something.
"It's okay, it's alright. I won't let it happen to you. No, never," he said, and kissed my hair.
"This… has been… hard… now… I think I'm scared… but I don't know why," I murmured.
"Then stop what you're doing, don't continue. Leave it be. I don't want you to do this thing of yours if it is killing you," he said, worry apparent in his voice.
"No… I must… The effect… it'll wear off…" I said. He took me outside the bathroom and sat me down outside. Then he went back in. A minute later, I heard the toilet flush and the sink run. Yugi came back outside and took me into his arms again.
"Well, then do what you think you must do. But do it as quick and as well or better. Yami doesn't seem to think you have a lot of time to complete what you're trying to complete. He senses danger coming here, from somewhere. Katy, don't get yourself hurt," Yugi said, then tilted my head towards his and kissed me gently. He slowly drew me in deeper, and I melted against him, relaxing and wanting him. He smiled against my lips as he kissed me.
"Oh Yugi," I muttered. He stroked my back and hair as he kissed me. I parted my lips on a moan and he smiled and broke the kiss.
"I'm still here is you need me," he said, "but I'll be downstairs." He helped me up, kissed me again, the left. I then headed into the bedroom next door, my resolve full. I saw some flint and some ammo, and I took it. Then I went to the dresser, and found a drawer open. The dresser key I had was for another dresser. I saw a pistol and a CHAPTER page. I took them both and then dashed down the stairs. I had carried the book with me, but I preferred to read in my grandfather's study.
WHAM! I ran smack dab into Seto.
"Ow," he said as we picked ourselves up off the floor.
"Sorry bro," I said hastily, then picked up my book and started to leave.
"Katy?" he asked. I turned around.
"Yes?" I asked sweetly.
"Are you sure you are okay? You seem like a change has taken place in you," he said, and I forced a smile.
"I'm fine. I haven't found anything worthwhile yet. But I think I will soon, no matter how unrealistic it is. I shall keep my promise. I won't leave until I find out whom or what killed our grandfather," I said.
"That's odd, because his will never did mention me or Mokuba. Some grandfather he turned out to be," Seto said.
"Shut up, one word more against him and you will be black and blue for a month. I swear it!!" I yelled at him.
"Okay, I'm sorry," he said, "geeze." I marched back to the study. My grandfather was a great guy. He had taken me in once our parents were in the accident and I had managed to escape stepfather's house. Well, I sort of was almost run over as a small child by Mr. big shot, and he took me in as his daughter, not knowing my family was still alive or the fact that I was heading elsewhere when I ran from home, 'cause I was blind. Seto thought I was dead, and made Mokuba think that too. He knew I was alive, he just didn't accept it, and he disowned me. Anyhow, Mr. Kaiba took me in, fearing scandal, and that was how I got the last name Kaiba. Then I managed to run away, and ended up at Yugi's family game store, I was 4 by then. I was waiting for someone from the tree of Portals to come and take me home. That was how I met Yugi for the first time, but of course, he was only 6 at the time, and didn't remember me later on when I returned here. I had been picked up, but went back to see my grandfather, who had known what would happen to my parents and to Seto and Mokuba. But since Seto never made a move to find him all the way out in Rhode Island, America, he never made a move to find Seto either.
I did, and he took me in and I learned all sorts of things. I went through a good high school because he paid for it, along with my caretakers. I was only 10 when I graduated high school, but that's another story in itself. It was time to continue. I opened the book, and continued to read.
A/N: Crystal56: Romance at its best and an explanation that really wasn't needed... Please Read and Review, I'll hopefully finish the next chapter before I am old and grey.
