Hehehehe . . . XD; One quick note here I guess. Someone asked about one of the words back in chapter two I believe it was. Onegai is Japanese for please. If you don't know what a word is and you're pretty sure that it's not Eglish, your best bet is to go look it up in a Jap-English Dictionary, kay?

Seto Kaiba mostly stood back and watched the other teens as the night grew near. Ryou, Yugi, and Mokuba continued to play on the Playstation 2, and Kaiba watched for a while. After a while, around five in the evening, he had gotten up and went to work on some paper work in his room. As he walked down the hallway of the second story, he looked into one room and saw Tazi lying on the bed, listening to her headphones.

She had not come out since Chaos had left. For a moment, Seto considered going in to talk to her, but decided that she needed some more time. He went the third story, where his bedroom was located. There, he sat at his desk and turned on his laptop.

No more than five minutes later, he heard small feet running down the hallway toward his bedroom. "Big Brother?" a young voice called as a head of black hair stuck itself in the doorway.

"Yeah, kid?" Seto asked as he started to type. Seeing that his brother wasn't going to try to shoo him away or anything, Mokuba ran in and dove onto the large bed.

"What are we having for dinner?" Mokuba laid on his stomach and swung his feet in the air.

"What do you want to have?" the older of the two asked as he opened a file and looked it over.

"Pizza!" Mokuba cried as he rolled off the bed and walked over to his brother. "Can we have pizza, Seto? Please?" Seto looked down and saw the puppy-dog face. There was no saying no to that.

"I guess," Seto said with a sigh. He didn't really care what they ate tonight. He just wanted to get some work done.

"Yeah! Thanks, Big Brother! I'll go ask what Yugi and Ryou want on their pizza!" With that, the little boy ran out of the room and down the hallway. A few seconds later, Seto heard a thud. "I'm okay!" Mokuba called as he continued to run down the hall.

Seto smiled to himself. Mokuba didn't seem to care what the circumstances were. Having Ryou, Yugi, and Tazi over was just like having a slumber party to him. The older boy thought for a moment, then shut his computer down.

'One night of relaxation wouldn't kill me,' he thought as he walked out of the room.

Bakura had fallen asleep after his little attempt to get out of bed and hadn't awoken since. Chaos had gone down to the cafeteria and brought back a couple sandwiches and coffee. Yami and Chaos had talked for a while, but then ran out of things to say. That wasn't entirely true, but they lost interest in talking after a period of time.

Chaos was now occupying the chair by the window, and Yami sat next to Bakura's bed. Both were fast asleep. The clock on the wall read ten-thirty at night. Chaos was turning her head back and forth and shifting slightly in her sleep. She whimpered quietly.

These sounds were loud enough to wake Bakura. He was drowsy at first, but then heard the sounds more clearly. The thief squinted his eyes in the darkness to see what was going on. When he saw that Chaos was having fits in her sleep, he turned to Yami.

"Hey, Pharaoh!" he hissed. "Wake up!" When Yami didn't respond, Bakura picked up a manga and threw it at him. It hit its target in the chest. The tri-color haired young man stirred then cracked open one eye.

"What do you want, Tomb Robber?" he asked. Bakura glared over at him.

"Chaos is having a nightmare," he said as he nodded his head in Chaos's direction. The young woman cried out and a few tears streamed down her cheeks. Yami looked over to her and sat up straighter.

"That must be some nightmare," Yami said with a hint of concern in his voice.

"Go wake her up!" Bakura demanded. He didn't like watching his friend cry like that. Unfortunately, he was too weak to help her, which was all the more annoying.

Yami got up and walked towards her. As he come near, she lashed out and almost kicked him in the shin. The once Pharaoh jumped back out of caution. He then saw more tears. "Stop!" Chaos cried out as she gripped the arms of her chair. Yami Yugi tilted his head to the side.

"Chaos?" he whispered quietly.

Chaos was on her hands and knees, beaten and bleeding. Darkness surrounded her and she felt cold. She was shaking furiously and tears streamed down her face. In the distance, she could hear Yami and Bakura, screaming in pain. She wanted to help them, but she was too weak to move.

"Help me, Chaos!" Bakura begged. He screamed horrifically as the sound of a whip meeting flesh was heard. "PLEASE!" His screams continued to ram in her ears.

"Chaos!" Yami cried out. "I need your help!" She heard him fall to the ground and cry in pain.

"Bakura . . ." she sobbed. "Yami . . . I can't . . ." A vicious laugh taunted her. Chaos felt blood run up to her fingers as she realized that she could no longer hear Yami. Her tears splashed to the floor, mixing with the crimson. The laugh grew louder.

"One down," the menacing voice hissed. "One to go." Chaos felt sobs choke her throat and she shut her eyes tightly.

"No . . ." she cried brokenly. "Please no . . ." Bakura's screamed, causing Chaos to flinch. "Stop!" she screamed. The maniacal laughter boomed.

"What's the matter, Tashanazi?" the voice taunted. "Broken your wings?" Chaos looked to where the voice was coming from. A figure in a black cloak walked before her, an ancient blade twirling in his hand.

"CHAOS!" Bakura screamed. The fiend turned and snarled.

"Silence, fool!" he shouted. Fire sprung out around them, but the darkness still consumed them.

Chaos felt cold still, but the flames licked the air near her, leaving a smoky trail behind. Blood, tears, fire, darkness. Blood, tears, fire darkness. They surrounded her, consumed her. She couldn't escape. There was no way out.

"No one can help you now," the fiend hissed venomously. "You're all alone." Chaos sobbed and the flames drew closer. Fire seemed to be above her, but it did not burn her.

"No!" she screamed as the flames consumed her entire being. Chaos's eyes flew open. She drew her gun and pointed it in front of her.

Yami ceased shaking Chaos as he felt the muzzle of a gun jam into his gut. His heart pounded in his ears and he breathed very slowly. All of his muscles tensed and he slowly let go of Chaos's shoulders. Beads of sweat broke out along his forehead. Time stood still for what seemed eternity.

The gun crashed onto the floor and Yami about fainted. Chaos took shaky breaths as she looked down at her violently shaking hands. In the background, she could hear Bakura, demanding to know if she was all right. Several tears fell. "Yami, I . . ." The words came out choked.

Yami recomposed himself and took a deep breath. "It's alright," he said softly. Chaos shook her head. She fell forward out of the chair and onto her hands and knees.

"He was there . . ." she whispered. "He's here . . . In Domino . . ." Yami's eyes widened a little as he looked down at her.

"Who?" he demanded.

"Him," she whispered. "Him!"

Yami looked over at Bakura. He had a look of understanding on his face. The thief motioned for Yami to get her over to him. Yami bent down and helped the shaky Millennium Item holder up.

Once she was next to Bakura's bed, Bakura made her get down on her knees so he could look her over. After seeing that there were no cuts, blood, or bruises, he thumbed away the tears. Bakura was mostly satisfied when they weren't replaced. "Do you remember what he looked like?" he asked. Chaos nodded shakily. "Show me."

Chaos used her Millennium Bracelet to show an illusionary image of the cloaked fiend. After a few seconds, Bakura nodded. "That's him alright," he confirmed. Yami walked up to the illusion for a closer look.

"Not a very good picture," he commented. "It's quite vague." Bakura scowled.

"Well, that's about all I saw too," he snapped. "I'm not really sure I would want to see his face."

The image faded and Chaos sank to a sitting position. Bakura let his hand slide off the bed. A few moments later, he felt a cold, shaky one intertwine with his. He could tell his friend was mentally banged up from the dream.

"That was no ordinary dream," he told Yami. "He is definitely at work here, Pharaoh." Yami nodded solemnly. He walked over back towards the window. The Pharaoh bent down, and picked up Chaos's gun.

Chaos watched as Yami walked over to her and held the gun out to her. Carefully, she took it and slid it back into its holster. "Thanks," she whispered. Yami nodded and sat in her chair.

Bakura squeezed her hand. "Are you all right?" he asked softly.

"Yes," a shaky voice answered. The cold hand tried to slide out of his, but he gripped it tightly.

"You sure?" he demanded. Chaos tried to get her hand out of his, but he wouldn't let go.

"Let go, Bakura," she pleaded softly. Her voice was still shaky. "Please . . ."

"Alright," he said gently. He released her hand. "Come and sit by me." Chaos complied and got up and walked over to the chair. She sat down and Bakura looked into her eyes. They looked haunted.

"I don't want to go back to sleep," she whispered. "I can't." Bakura held out his hand and she took it. Bakura then reached under his covers and placed a hand on the Ring. He sent soothing thoughts to his friend and mystical energies to make her relax.

Chaos saw what he was doing and tried to yank away, but it was too late. Several moments later, she sank into the chair into a peaceful slumber. Bakura let go of her hand and felt himself relax a little more.

"We've certainly gotten ourselves into a mess this time," Yami said from his spot by the window. Bakura looked over to the Pharaoh with a brow raised.

"You think?" he asked. Yami smirked.

"I sense sarcasm in your voice," Yami replied. Bakura rolled his eyes at him.

"Baka," he growled. The Pharaoh's smirk grew. "Wipe that imbecilic grin off your face this instant, Pharaoh," Bakura threatened. Yami shrugged and stopped smirking.

"I didn't mean any offense," Yami said coolly as he leaned back in his chair.

"But you're so good at it," Bakura said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He laid back down and sighed. "But you are right, Pharaoh," he began quietly. "We're in trouble." Yami was tempted to reply with another conceded comment to make Bakura ticked, but decided against it.

"Indeed," the former Pharaoh replied. "But until we can think of how to get ourselves out. I suggest we rest up." Yami lounged in the chair and closed his eyes. Bakura smirked.

"Is that a suggestion, or an order?" Yami opened one eye and glared at him.

"What did I say, Tomb Robber?" he snapped. Bakura picked up that the other spirit was grouchy. He obviously didn't like being awoken in the middle of the night.

"Fine," Bakura said as he looked away from him. "Goodnight."

He heard Yami reply with something similar, then drift off to sleep. The thief looked over at his friend. She seemed to be sleeping peacefully now, much to his relief.

The Spirit of the Ring wondered what his hikari was doing. Sleeping, he hoped, but that was most likely wishful thinking. Bakura pulled the covers up on himself and slowly drifted to sleep as well.

"I lost again!" Mokuba exclaimed as he tossed the remote over his shoulder. "Sheesh!" Yugi and Ryou laughed at the boy's antics.

"You're really good at this, Ryou," Yugi said as he took Mokuba's spot. Ryou smiled.

"Thanks, Yugi," he beamed as he set the game back up. "Now lets see if you can beat me this time!"

Mokuba walked over to his brother, who was sitting on the couch. He sat down and cuddled up next to Seto. "I just can't win," he said in a defeated matter. But he didn't sound too upset, he had been having fun.

Seto put an arm around his brother and hugged him. "You will, someday," he said comfortingly. Mokuba snuggled up next to his older brother. He tried to stifle the yawn, but failed. Kaiba looked at his watch. "It's about time you went to bed, little man," he said. Mokuba made a whiny sound.

"Do I have to?"

"What do you think?"

"Yes," Mokuba said as he slid off the couch. He began to make his way towards the stairs. He then turned and with huge, puppy-dog eyes, he looked at his brother. "Will you come tuck me in, Seto?" he pleaded.

The other two teens looked at the CEO and grinned. Seto sighed and pulled himself off the couch. "Duty calls," he said as he chased after Mokuba. The little boy began to run away, but the elder caught him. "Gotcha!" Kaiba said as he scooped up his little brother. Mokuba giggled and wrapped his arms around Seto's neck as he began to carry him up the stairs.

"Goodnight, guys!" Mokuba called as he waved.

"Night, Mokuba!" the two boys said. As the Kaiba Brothers disappeared up the stairs, Yugi turned to Ryou.

"He's in a really good mood tonight," he commented as he turned back to the game.

"Kaiba?"

"Yeah. I wonder if he's like this all the time when he's home," Yugi said as he chose his racer. Ryou did the same.

"I bet he is," the white haired boy said. "He probably likes being away from everyone. Here he can have time to himself and with Mokuba." Yugi nodded in agreement.

Seto tucked Mokuba in. "I love you, Seto," Mokuba said as he sat up to kiss him on the cheek.

"I love you too, kid," Seto replied as he made Mokuba lay back down so he could re-tuck him. He then kissed the younger on the cheek and turned the lamp on the nightstand off.

Kaiba walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. The brown haired young man walked down to the next floor. It was strangely silent. He walked down to Tazi's room and saw that she had fallen asleep.

For a moment, he considered waking her up, considering that she hadn't eaten anything, but then decided against it. Seto walked over to Tazi, took her head phones off, and laid them on the nightstand. Then, he took a blanket from the closest and covered her with it.

He stepped back and sighed. It had been a long day, and a strange one at that. With that final thought, he walked to the doorway, shut off the light, and slowly closed the door.

"Seto?" a voice called from inside.

'Crap,' he thought as he stopped in mid-step. "Yes?" he asked as he opened the door again.

"Do you think they'll be alright?" Tazi asked as she rolled onto her side to look at her friend.

"The yamis?" Kaiba asked. The girl nodded and Seto smiled. "Of course, it's each other they have to worry about." Tazi smiled tiredly. She whispered a thanks and Seto closed the door again.

The CEO of Kaiba Corp walked back down to the main floor and saw that Ryou and Yugi were turning off the TV and PS2. When they heard him coming down the steps, they turned around.

"We decided that we'd be heading off to bed," Ryou said as he sat the remote on the coffee table. Yugi nodded in agreement. Seto just shrugged.

"That's fine with me. But who won?" he asked casually.

"We didn't finish," Yugi said. "But Ryou would have probably beaten me." Seto shook his head.

"Yami would be aghast," he said with a smirk. "The Pharaoh's boy losing to the hikari of a Tomb Robber." Both boys smiled and walked past him.

"Goodnight, Kaiba," Ryou said as he made his way up the stairs.

"See you in the morning," Yugi said as he followed.

When they finally were out of sight, Seto sighed. He finally had the house to himself. The boy walked over to couch and sprawled out on it. He picked up the DVD remote and turned on the movie he had begun two nights ago.

Bakura heard someone knock on the door and he was pulled out of his slumber. The nurse came in and smiled at him. "How are you feeling this morning?" she asked kindly. Bakura thought for a moment, he could either scare her, be rude, or play along.

'To scare the crap out of her, or not to scare the crap out of her,' he thought. 'That, is the question.' He then remembered that Yami Yugi was over by the window. "Quite better actually," he grunted. The nurse wrote something down on her clipboard.

"I'm glad to hear that," she said sweetly. Inwardly, Bakura wondered if he was going to be sick. But as he looked at her, he realized that she was rather attractive. So maybe she could get away with it just this once. "I'll be sure to tell Dr. Hikura that." With that, she turned to the heart monitor and other mechanisms and jotted a few things down.

When she turned back around, she seemed to notice Chaos and Yami for the first time. "Visiting hours were over at nine last night, and do not begin until nine today. Unless they're family?"

'I'm going to kill myself for this later,' Bakura thought. 'That is, if they don't kill me first.' "Yes, she's my sister, and he's my brother-in-law." The nurse thought for a moment, but she seemed to buy it. She then walked out and closed the door behind her.

Chaos stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed them slightly, then yawned. The happenings of the previous night still seemed to be lingering slightly, but other than that, she seemed alright. "Are you okay?" Bakura asked as he propped himself up on his elbow.

"Yeah," she said as she yawned. "How about you?"

"Yes," Bakura replied. Chaos suddenly jumped up.

"Well you ain't going to be when I get through with you!" she shouted as she rolled up her sleeves. "Now being your sister I don't mind, but Yami's wife?!" Bakura scooted away from her until he was on the edge of the bed.

Yami had awoken from Chaos's outburst, but hadn't really heard what had happened. "What'd I miss?" he asked groggily. Chaos sighed heavily, then walked over to Yami.

"Come on, honey," she growled with a hint of a sickeningly sweet voice. "Let's go get some breakfast. I'm just famished." She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the door. Yami looked over at Bakura with confusion. The Tomb Robber just turned away and whistled innocently. Suddenly, it dawned on Yami that he'd done something that was going to tick him off.

"Tomb Robber, when I . . ." Yami said as he dragged out the door.

Bakura let out a heavy sigh. Chaos had probably just saved him, for the meantime. She had been too mad to do anything else. He momentarily thought of what Yami might have done to him, and let out another sigh. "Chaos," he spoke in the empty room. "This is why you are my dearest friend. You save me from even yourself."
