Chapter 7

The first thing noticeable when I regained my consciousness was the annoying pain in my chest. Initially, I thought it was my heart that was causing it, but I realized that it was just below that. My hand automatically went there and the majority of my chest was covered with bandages. I sat up, looking over my surroundings. It was my own room that I was in; my own bed. It was obvious to me that it was night, it being dark and all. There was only a slight source of light, coming from my laptop. Set was the one pecking away at it.

"Seto? Are you okay?" He asked, noticing I was awake.

"Except for the annoying pain in my chest, I'm fine." I stated.

"You think some analgesic will help?"

I nodded. "Can you get me a glass of water, also?"

"Sure thing." Set walked out, leaving my notebook on the chair he was sitting in.

I got out of my bed, stumbling over to it. And don't worry, I had pants on so don't get any ideas!

It appeared to me that the priest was typing about what happened with Kimo. It must be some online journal or something of the sort. I saved it for him and found an entry titled 'Vengeance and Love'. It sounded interesting. I opened the file and began reading, taking note that he wrote it in first person.

I was being dragged away when I was put in control. And that's one thing Seto never did… Or allowed me to do. Two men were pulling me, both looked like Pegasus's goons. Why can't I feel Seto's presence in the back of his mind? Oh, great. He must of lost the damn duel.

I tried to adjust, but then I remembered that I was supposed to just be a soulless body, so my body went limp again. It looked like the idiots noticed what I did, but they didn't pay any attention to it. So I was dragged down into the underground dungeons and thrown into one of the cells. As soon as they left, I sat up, rubbing my head. I'll just have to do this myself. I stood, walking over to the lock that was preventing me from going anywhere. It won't prevent me very long though. Too bad for the Pharaoh, I can remember everything from my past.

With the flick of my wrist, the door lock opened itself. I kicked it and stepped out. Now how am I supposed to navigate my way through this labyrinth? And I can't be seen either!

I strolled down the hallway to my left. A few torches appeared occasionally on either side of the wall. Then I came to a four-way intersection. There were two paths across from me and one to my right. I was standing in the fourth one. I looked around for anyone, then I was just about to take the path to my right when I heard two men talking. I pushed up against the wall I was closest to, hoping they wouldn't come down this hall.

"Master Pegasus is going to beat that little Yugi." One voice said.

"Yeah, Kaiba was easily beat so he'll be no problem." The other agreed.

"You think we should go check on Kaiba?"

"Like we need to? A soulless body like his can't just get up and walk away."

They have no idea how wrong they are.

"I guess you're right." The two men walked into one of the halls across from this one. The voices also faded.

I turned and went up the path to my right. Later, I came to a fork. A Fork! Two halls were across from me. Left or right? Not knowing which one to pick, I walked into the left one. It turned out to be a dead-end. So I went back to where I started and took the right one. I ended up in the huge room with the duel platform was. It was night and there were no lights on.

"Ouch! Watch it." I heard someone complain.

"Be quiet! We have to figure out how Pegasus beat Kaiba so easily." Some other voice said.

I walked out further so I could see who was talking. Tristan, Bakura and Tea were standing on each other to see through a tiny hole in the wall.

"It's pretty obvious that he cheated. Pegasus beat Kaiba like he was a rookie." Bakura stated.

Of course he cheated. That Millennium Eye of his allows him to cheat. Not like any of you can comprehend the power it holds and what it's capable of.

I stood behind one of the beams that held the second floor up, just to make sure they didn't see me.

"Hey guys! There's a building facing this way. And it just so happens there's a window pointing this way too." Tristan exclaimed suspiciously.

"Oh, Tristan. What are you thinking? That someone used a telescope to see Kaiba's hand?" Tea asked.

"Exactly. That hair of his could fit some type of communication device under it. Let's get over to that building." Tristan replied, losing his balance.

They all fell and landed on top of each other. I snickered slightly. It was a decent sight. Once they all got up, I decided to follow them. You never know, they might just lead me to Pegasus. Even if they all are just a bunch of imbeciles.

They all walked out into the courtyard, making there way over to the building. I followed as silently as I could. Tristan found a rope with grappling hooks on the end of it. He tossed it up and it latched onto a part of the shingles. First Bakura went, then Tristan, and last Tea. They all climbed to the ledge and move along slowly. I was still at the bottom of the tower, thinking up a way to get up there myself.

Tea almost fell off, but the two boys grabbed her. I smirked, watching these morons was a lot of fun. I pulled out a card from inside my coat. The Blue Eyes White Dragon, Seto's favorite card, and mine also. I stared at it for a few seconds. Maybe I could use it? Stupid me! Of course I can! I'm a sorcerer. I can summon any dragon I want from the shadow realm. My personality turned slightly evil at that thought. I held out the card in front of me.

"Azrael, my Blue Eyes White Dragon, come to me." I commanded.

The card glowed and a white dragon appeared. The dragon was only about a foot and six inches tall, which isn't her normal height, but she can revert back to dragon-size whenever she wants. She jumped into my arms.

"Good girl. Now can you get me up into that window?" I inquired, while she was nuzzling my neck.

She turned around in my arms. Tristan, Bakura and Tea just got into the window I was talking about. Azrael squawked in agreement. She grew to her dragon-size and growled fiercely. I couldn't hold back my laugh anymore. So I just HAD to throw back my head and cackle. That's also what I meant by my personality turning a bit more evil than normal.

I jumped, with one swift move, onto the dragon's back. "Let's go."

She flapped her wings twice, then lifted off the ground. Flying to the tower, I jumped off seconds before she got there and landed on the windowsill. She turned back into her shorter form and nestled on my shoulder.

The trio must've heard me because they all twisted around and gawked at me. Finally, someone spoke.

"Kaiba? But aren't you supposed to be some soulless, obedient body? Your soul was locked away." Tristan declared slowly.

Before I could answer, Pegasus entered the room. Noticing me first. "Are you Kaiba's ghost or something?" He pointed at me.

I would've fell over if getting Seto back weren't so important to me. "Do I look like some see-through, floating Kaiba to you?!" I shouted, anger boiling.

"But Kaiba's right here!" The egomaniac held up Seto's soul card. "Then who are you?"

I dropped from the windowsill. "I'm your worst nightmare if you don't hand over Seto and Mokuba!"

"I guess I'll just have to seal you away, whoever you are!" Pegasus's eye glowed.

"Must you jump to conclusions?" I smirked, holding a hand out in front of me. I chanted an Egyptian spell quickly to protect me from his powers.

"What?! How did you do that?" He was clearly devastated when his eye had no effect on me.

"I'll make this an easy decision for you. You can give me the two souls I want or I can have Azrael tear you to shreds along with my two other Blue Eyes White Dragons!" I held the two dragon cards in one of my hands.

Azrael roared loudly, showing her sharp teeth.

"What do you mean, your Blue Eyes White Dragons?"

"I mean that Seto's merely the Dragon Tamer. I'm the Dragon Master! Now choose before I kill you myself!"

Pegasus stepped back. I stepped forward. I didn't know it yet, but my anger was making me do these things. I was so pissed that I wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

"You brought all this on yourself. It's your fault I'm here. The reason I'm in control of Seto's body lies in what you did. You removed his soul. By doing so, his body put me in control. And I'm out for revenge! Revenge on the reason I ended up in control. You. Took. His. Soul." I walked even closer.

He edged backward. The look on his face changed, like in the sense that he thought of something. "What will you do if I give them to you? I'm the only one with the power to free them! Ha! You can't kill me." Pegasus concluded.

Foolish idiot. He doesn't know who he's dealing with. No one knows! The only two people who could possibly figure it out are Seto and the Pharaoh.

Azrael suddenly bit my ear. I turned my head to her. She spoke to me in the language of the dragons, rubbing my cheek with her muzzle. I could understand it like English. She was telling me not to do it.

"But Pegasus is the one who's hurting everyone! He deserves to be executed! And I can end everyone's pain right now!" I protested, glaring at the Creator.

She roared, telling me that Seto wouldn't want me to murder him. It was always hard to argue with that statement being used against me. I hated how Seto was almost never wrong. Well, I couldn't say 'no' to Seto.

"You may have saved yourself this time, but I'll be back! I'll also be watching your duel with the Pharaoh. If you don't release their souls, regardless if the Pharaoh beats you or not, I'll tear you limb from limb with the help of my Blue Eyes White Dragons! So beware." I walked back and jumped onto the windowsill. But then I thought of something, so I faced him again. "Oh, and if you try to run from me, you won't get very far. The reason behind that is because my dragons can locate anyone, anywhere and bring them to me. So I wouldn't even try it if I were you." A flash of lightning erupted behind me. I leaped out of the window.

Looks like I terrified Pegasus more than anyone else in this realm could. Bastard. He thought he could just cheat his way out of things. His power is nothing compared to mine. I never cheated in my life, or former life, I should say. Well, this is technically my second life.

It felt like my body was weightless. It's such a nice feeling. You're falling from a high place and you just feel like you floated down. Maybe it was the coat… I soon landed, on my feet, on Azrael's back. She snarled with pride. Within a minute or two, she arrived on the ground and I got off her. She reverted back to her smaller form, perching on my shoulder. I might as well pay the Pharaoh a visit.

Now what would be the perfect way to make my entrance? Let's see… I don't want to scare him. Maybe the window? I stalked off towards his room.

Pegasus probably made sure that no one would remember what happened, me being the exception. And Yami Bakura sent everyone back to their beds, confusing them even more. That's what I assumed, anyway.

I found a rope and stopped at a place under his window. The window was open, but just a tiny crack. Azrael flew up to the windowsill. I threw the rope up to her and she tied it onto the ledge. I climbed up while she got the window open to a reasonable width. Kicking the rope off of the ledge, I sprinted swiftly into his room, grabbing my dragon on the way. I pushed myself against one of the far corners of the room, covering Azrael's mouth.

Yugi awoke gently, I assumed it was from the window being open and causing the room to get colder, and got up to shut it. He stood in the moonlight for a moment, rubbing his eye before he shut it. In my opinion, he looked gorgeous. In Seto's opinion, he looked like he could be beaten easily. The Pharaoh has no memory of his past, I reminded myself. He doesn't remember me. I had to hold myself back from going over to him.

Yugi went back to the bed and pulled the covers up. I thought of something. When I was positive that he was asleep, I came out of the shadows and strolled to his bedside. I could make this work. I placed a hand over his puzzle, muttering some Egyptian, causing it to glow. Yugi transformed into the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was always better looking than his host. My spell also cut little Yugi off from him, so he wouldn't know what we were talking about.

Yami stirred, touching my hand. I held it in mine while he slept. I sat on the edge of the bed, stroking his hand.

"How are there… two Kaibas?" Yami murmured softly in his sleep.

I smirked lightly. He was dreaming about me. Suddenly, he jerked up, shouting Seto's last name.

I shoved my hands over his mouth. "Don't shout. Do you want anyone to hear you?"

His purple eyes were wide, staring at me in shock. Then, gently his hands went up to mine and pulled them away. "You're not Kaiba." He concluded.

"No, I'm not. You're about the only one who got it right." I said quietly, putting my hands in my lap.

"Then, why…?" He started.

I answered what he was going to say. "I'm just stuck with his body. Though I'm not exactly Seto, I'm the closest you'll get to him."

Azrael jumped onto my shoulder and squawked.

"You seem familiar somehow. Like I had known you in a deep, emotional way."

"You're very right. The thing is you don't remember, do you?"

Yami looked away. "I have no memory of anything before Yugi solved the puzzle."

"I thought so. If only I had my rod! Then you'd remember."

"Do you have a name?"

"Of course. My name is technically Seto, but everyone calls me Set. There can't be two people with the exact same name."

Azrael dropped into my lap and I stroked her wing. The Pharaoh watched her, then looked at me.

"You tame dragons."

"Not quite. I'm the Master of the dragons. Seto's the Tamer of the dragons." I leaned closer. "Seto knows nothing of relationships."

Yami fell back on the pillow. I leaned over him, almost on top of him. "I'm much more different from Seto then you think." I commented.

"I can see that." Yami said, cupping my jaw right before my mouth descended on his.

One hand continued to cup my jaw, while the other slid under my shirt. I groaned sexually when he racked his fingers along my chest. Wait. This isn't my chest, this is Seto's chest! I broke from the Pharaoh, lacing Seto's hand with the one that was just pleasuring me.

"What's wrong?" Yami inquired concernedly.

"I can't do this. This isn't my body to abuse. Seto's body is his own business and it's not my decision as to when he loses his virginity. That's his own decision! He'll be mad at me if I do something he doesn't like. Sorry, Yami." I told him. I fell to his side.

"It's okay. I know how you feel." Yami still held my hand.

Azrael snuggled into Seto's chest. "I should get going. I can't be caught with you." I declared. I hopped off the bed and stood in front of the window.

"Set!"

I turned.

"You make my body feel more alive than any other person ever will." The dark Yugi blushed slightly.

"Just remember to beat the hell out of Pegasus in your duel. And I'll see you again someday." I reminded, flying out the window with my Blue Eyes.

Nothing else happened until Yami beat the crap out of Pegasus. I was walking down the dungeons, near the cell his goons put me in. When something instantly knocked me down. I came back to myself a few minutes later, holding my aching head. Someone who sounded a lot like Seto was groaning. I sat up, processing the scene I saw before me. It was Seto, on his back, on the corridor floor. Then, where was I? I gazed down, seeing that I was in my own body. It was my Egyptian outfit.

Seto continued to groan and growl. I went over there, sitting him in my lap. His eyes opened slowly and a hand touched my chin. "Set?"

I nodded.

"How is this possible?" He asked carefully.

"I don't honestly know. It must be some side effect or something." I wondered, stroking his cheek.

His facial expression made it look like he thought of something. "Mokuba! We need to find him! Find the briefcase."

I helped him stand, then went looking for his briefcase. I found it behind a suit of armor. I ambled back, handing it to him.

"Thanks." He hugged me gently, which was new for him.

"Should we explain this to everyone?" I asked as we walked through the labyrinth.

"Nope. They can figure it out for themselves." Seto answered.

"That'll make them figure things out by themselves for a change." I added.

We ended up at the front gate. For some reason, it seemed like we both were in good moods for a change. Seto was smiling, which you don't normally see. I wasn't pissed off either. Well, that's technically incorrect, I'm rarely pissed off.

It just so happens that the whole gang of imbeciles was right there waiting for us when the gates opened. Damn. I have to correct myself again! Waiting for Seto. They don't even know I exist! Well, save Yami. He knows.

"I know." Seto said, interrupting my thoughts. He was staring into my eyes.

"You read my thoughts." I simply concluded, putting his hair behind his ear.

Seto looked away and towards his little brother. Mokuba ran to him and jumped into his arms. He cried into Seto's trench coat, saying his name over and over again. The brunette's expression softened.

"I thought I lost you forever, Seto. But now we're together again." Mokuba sobbed gently.

I walked over next to my reincarnation, caressing his arm. I felt the Pharaoh's eyes on me.

"Set…" Yami stood in front of me.

"I told you we'd meet again." I stated, gazing at him.

Seto interrupted. "And does Yugi know you?"

"I met him when you were sealed away. He looked after your body for you." The Pharaoh replied.

"Does anyone mind tellin' me how there are two Kaibas?" Joey butted in.

"There aren't two Kaibas, Joey." Yugi answered.

"Well, one is Kaiba. But the other one looks a lot like him!"

"I'm not Kaiba, yet I am Kaiba." I merely said.

"You mind explaining that?" Joey questioned.

"I have a different name. But I look the same as him, I'm just five years older. My skin is a slightly different color also."

Wheeler scratched his head. I probably just confused him more.

Seto stood back up from his kneeling position. "Thank you, Yugi for saving my brother's soul. And I am grateful. But because of our circumstances our last duel was not conclusive."

Yugi nodded. "Yes, you're right."

"One day we will meet in the arena again and one of us will walk away with pride. Let's go guys. The copter's waiting." Seto acknowledged, turning around.

Mokuba and I followed him.

I finished reading the journal. Wow. I didn't know Set could write that well. I felt someone's warm breath on the back of my neck.

"Interesting, huh?" Set's voice came from behind me.

"You write well for an Egyptian. I didn't know you could be so vengeful." I said, taking the pills and the water he handed me.

"I was angry at Pegasus. That stupid bastard! He hurt you…"

"But your revenge was for me. You almost killed him over me."

"I'm sorry, Seto. I got carried away."

I embraced him. "Don't apologize. I didn't know you cared for me like… your boyfriend. Just don't dump me."

Set laughed softly. "I won't dump you. You can count on that."

I changed the subject. "Don't you think Tea's just a heartless bitch out to use Yugi?"

Set let go of me. "She's been trying to get Yami to go out with her for years. Sorry, bitch, but Yami's mine! He hates you!"

I chuckled at that. "She just wants to get off on him."

"Exactly. She'll just use him if she gets a hold of him. He doesn't matter to her like he matters to me."

"You two have been lovers since the beginning. Your relationship is deep and passionate. Screw her!" I shouted.

"That's the reason she hates both of us. She's probably the one who's been trying to kill you." Set dropped his head.

"Malik is too. But why Kimo?"

"Malik could've been controlling him."

"Maybe." I semi-agreed.

"Is your chest doing any better?" Set asked, running his hand over my bandages.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable." I took his hand and held it.

His other hand unbuckled my belt and slid my pants down so my other bandage was showing. I let go of his hand and he removed the bandage there. Then he slid my pants back on my hips and instead of buckling my belt, he pulled it out of the loop. It was dropped on the floor. I hoped he wasn't proposing something.
