Sedjet wakes up to Bakura throwing a knife at the wall.
"Hey Bakura, right? Can you cut me free?" She met Bakura in her second period class. She enjoyed talking to him after class. He was the only boy she wasn't shy around.
"I have orders. I have to keep you here 'till our good friend Yugi comes." She noticed the usually shy and polite Bakura changed dramatically.
"Who are you," she demanded. She struggled to break free from her restraints. Bakura walks over to he, with an evil grin on his face. He takes the knife and slashes her face.
"None of your god damned business," He said, as he licked the blade. She started to cry in pain, her tears mix with the blood before they hit the ground. A guy with long black hair, in a black robe, entered the room.
"Tomb Raider, didn't I tell you not to harm her, just yet."
"Seth, you're ok." He gives an evil grin and chuckles a bit.
"Not quite, sis. As soon as I get what Master Merik wants, I'll be perfect in the eyes of everyone." He walks over to her, and the way the shadows on his face made him seem like a psychopath ready to kill.
"Tomb Raider, I think my sister and the puzzle would be a good prize."
"What! Why you no good piece of…."
"Sis… that's no way to speak in front of men." She glares at him.
"You know what, I would rather die then to be with that thing!" Bakura smirked and waved the knife, as a reminder that he can and will harm her.
"Alright, now how are we going to get the pharaoh here? Yugi doesn't have a cell phone and the millennium puzzle can't really find the power of another millennium item."
"That's true, but my dear sister will give us the number of her boyfriend's cell phone. Won't ya sis?" She spat in his face. He slaps her across the face with the back of his hand, over the gash Bakura gave her, making her cry out in pain.
"I'll never tell you." Seth takes the knife from Bakura's hand and cuts her shirt off, leaving one more slice to have her sitting on the floor half naked. Bakura eyed her, before her brother could tell him to get out.
"Leave, you'll have her soon enough." Bakura turns on his heals and walks out of the room, mumbling curses. Seth grabs Sedjet's chin.
"Now sis, don't make me send that letch out on you." She tells him Kaiba's number. He dials it.
Kaiba hears his cell ringing.
"Hello."
"Hello, Seto Kaiba."
"How do you know who I am? How did you get this number?"
"Never mind that, I have a message for you." Seth puts the phone in front of his sister.
"Kaiba, don't worry about me. Make sure Yugi….." She screams as her brother slaps her across the face again and slashes her arm.
"If you want her alive and intact bring Yugi to the peer in an hour."
"What did you do to her?" There was no answer. Kaiba throws the phone into the back seat. He and Yami divised a plan to get Sedjet back. They reach the peer at the designated time. Seth was standing there, his hair flowing in the wind. Kaiba stops the car, and he and Yami get out.
"I'll lead you two to where my little sister is." He leads them into a storage building, down a few feet underground. He opens the door, Sedjet was reviled.
"Yugi, I leave you to take care of this weakling, while I get the girl."
"Right." Kaiba runs past Seth to Sedjet. He unties her.
"Sedjet, are you ok?" She wraps her arms around his neck and buries her face into his chest. She starts to cry. He embraces her.
"They were awful to me."
"It's ok… I'll never let anyone harm you again," He takes his jacket off and puts it over her shoulders.
"Seth, you're not like the other Rare Hunters I've been up against."
"I pledged myself to Master Merik, I don't need to be a mind slave." He charges at Yami, ready to grab the puzzle. Yami dodges his attempts to attack.
"Mind crush!" Yami raised his hand to Seth. His face went blank and fell to the ground. Kaiba leads Sedjet to her brother's soulless body.
"It would've happened sooner or later. I'm surprised Merik didn't do it earlier," she kneels down and lifts her brother's head, "I'll miss you Seth, please say hi to mom and dad for me." She kisses his forehead and slowly gets up.
"Where did the other person go? What did he look like," demanded Kaiba.
"I didn't get a good look at him." She deliberately lied to protect the good Bakura from Kaiba's wrath.
"I think we better go home." They all head to the car. Sedjet lies down in the backseat. Kaiba starts the car and drives off. It was 10pm, when he reached the card shop; Sedjet was fast asleep.
"Yugi, you should tell your friends to stop looking for Sedjet." Yami nods his head and gets out of the car. Kaiba drives off, before he could turn around. He gets into the shop and heads to his room. He grabs the phone and calls Anzu's cell.
"Anzu tell everyone to stop looking for Sedjet. I found her safe."
"Oh, thank god. I'll go tell Honda and Jounouchi. Bye Yami." He hangs up the phone and changes back into Yugi. He lies down on his bed and goes out like a light.
Kaiba pulls into the driveway of his mansion. Sedjet stirred a bit in the back, but didn't wake up. Dead to the world, he thought as he picks her up and carries her into the house. He carries her with ease up the stairs to his room. He lays her onto his bed and covers her up. He drags a chair over to the bed and sits down.
It was a quarter past midnight, when she woke up. Kaiba was asleep in his chair. Poor guy, probably when I leave his life will return to normal. She goes back to sleep. The next morning, when Sedjet woke up, Kaiba was gone. He probably left for school. She gets up and heads to the bathroom, to take a shower. She goes back into Kaiba's room and borrows a black shirt. She puts her jeans, from the previous day, on. She noticed that she had her deck in the front pocket. She sat down in the bed thinking of a way to tell Kaiba that she's leaving the next day. She goes through her deck to figure out how she's going to do that.
"I don't want to break his heart, but I have to go. I'm in too much danger here with Merik and his Rare Hunters around," she sees the trap card, 'Magic Drain' and the magic card, 'Black Pendent, "I think I'll give them to Kaiba, as an excuse to see him again." She smiles at her ingenius plan.
Kaiba enters his bedroom door and sees Sedjet dueling with Mokuba. He's got 500 life points left and she's got 1000 left. She lays down the 'Tremendous Fire' card and wins the duel.
"Good game, Mokuba. One more hit and I would've been gone."
"Well, I've learned from the best."
"Mokuba, I have to tell Seto something."
"Ok." He gets up and picks up his cards. He trots out of the room, closing the door behind him. Kaiba sits next to her on the bed.
"What do you want to tell me?" He brushes some loose strands of hair behind her ear.
"I have to leave tomorrow." She looks away from him, afraid of what he might say or do.
"What? Why?"
"I'm in danger here. I have to stay away from Merik and his Rare Hunters." She leans onto him.
"You can stay here. I can protect you."
"I'll tell you what. I'll challenge you to a duel and if you win I'll stay, but if I win I'll leave for the U.S. and give you a promise that I'll return."
"You're on." Kaiba grabs his deck and leads her to the basement. There was a dueling arena ready for them. They step on opposite sides of the platform.
"I can't believe that you accepted my challenge."
"I never back down from a challenge and I always win." He gives her a playful smirk, as he shuffles his deck. They both put their decks down and begin the duel.
"I'll go first. I lay down a monster in defense mode."
"Sedjet, you know better than to start a duel like that. I play the 'Witty Phantom' in attack mode. Now my monster attack her face down card!"
"Big mistake." His phantom attacks the face down card, reviling 'Spirit of the Harp'. His life points go down to 4400.
"I lay down one card face down and I summon 'Koumori Dragon' in attack mode. Now my dragon attack his 'Witty Phantom;!" His life points go down to 4300.
"Good strategy, if you're dueling a novice. I summon 'Lord of Dragons' in attack mode, I play 'Flute of Summoning Dragon', and I choose two of my 'Blue Eyes White Dragons'. Now my Blue Eyes attack her 'Spirit of the Harp'," One of the Blue Eyes attacks her monster with it's 'white lightning' attack.
"Now my other Blue Eyes, attack her 'Koumori Dragon'!" Her life points go down to 3500.
"I end my turn."
"I play 'Change of Heart' and I'll use it on your 'Lord of Dragons'. I'll sacrifice him and summon 'Archfiend of Gilfer' in defense mode. Now I lay one more card face down."
"Now my Blue Eyes attack her 'Archfiend of Gilfer'!" She turns over on of her face down cards, revealing 'Paralyzing Potion'.
"Now that Blue Eyes can't attack."
"I still can destroy your monster with my other Blue Eyes. Now attack." The remaining Blue Eyes destroyed her Archfiend, but it's attack points decreased to 2500.
"How did that happen?"
"My Archfiend can be used as an Equip spell card, when sent to the graveyard."
"I end my turn."
"I lay down a card face down and I play 'Soul Exchange', and I sacrifice your useless Blue Eyes to summon my 'Dark Magician'. And I end my turn."
"I lay down one card face down and attack your magician, with my remaining Blue Eyes; destroying them both."
"I reveal 'Sword of Deep-seated'. This card increases my magician's attack points by 500, and now your Blue Eyes is destroyed." His life points go down to 3900.
