This is not in mind.
Let me tell you this,
I feel totally lost
if im asking for help
its only because
eing with you has opened my eyes
could i ever believe such a perfect surprise.
I keep asking myself
wondering how..
I keep losing my eyes
but i cannot get out.
Im going to fly to a place where its just you and me
and nobody else
so we can be free.
All the things he said
all the things he said
runnin through my head
runnin through my head
runnin through my head
all the things he said
all the things he said
runnin through my head
runnin through my head
all the things he said
This is not in mind, THIS IS NOT IN MIND!
all the things you said...
And im all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed.
They say it's my fault but i want him so much.
I wanna fly him away,
with the sun and the rain commin over my face
wash away all the shame.
And when they stop and stare
dont worrying me,
cuz im feelin for him what hes feelin for me.
I can try to pretend i can try to forget,
but it's driving me mad goin out of my head.
(this is not my mind)
"Water levels rising, containment activating. B1 will now proceed to enter lockdown." Shutters began to drop to the floor closing off any hope of exiting the watery prison that would become theirs.
Thankfully Jonouchi saw one of the shutters was having trouble as a box had floated and obstructed its path. Jonouchi gave Kaiba a sound slap across the face hoping it would wake him up, but did it do more than that.
Seto growled and sat up, punching Jonouchi in the stomach thinking that the robot was the one hitting him. The blond grunted and fell back into the water with a splash and Seto stared into the water, "Sorry about that Inu, but that was no way to wake your master." Seto said standing slowly, his legs shaking under him making it quite hard to remain standing for a lengthy period of time.
Jonouchi rubbed the side of his, "Shit Kaiba, that hurt." Jonouchi stood now entirely soaked from head to toe.
"Well it wasn't intended to tickle." Seto said as he walked towards the obstructed shutter.
Jonouchi grumbled and he followed Kaiba, "Just don't do it again."
"Can't make any promises Inu." Seto as he chuckled, though the laugh soon became a cough.
Jonouchi was there to catch Kaiba as he collapsed, "Calm down Kaiba, you're still weak. Lemme just help you."
Seto tryed to shove Jonouchi away but, he was too weak. Seto sighed not wanting to accept help from the Inu but he had no other choices, he couldn't do much on his own.
Jonouchi pulled Kaiba close; he smiled inside feeling the warmth of Kaiba's body to his own. Jonouchi looked to Kaiba who didn't seem to feel the same way, for the brunette was death-glaring Jonouchi.
Jonouchi immediately looked away and together they both ducked underneath the shutter and into the adjacent room. Jonouchi turned and knocked the box out of the way allowing the shutter to fall and prevent any more water from entering the room.
Seto began to feel dizzy, the room spinning. He tightened his grip on the blond and pressed his head to Jonouchi's chest. His entire body began to tighten and his muscles convulse. He nudged his head into Jonouchi and whimpered.
Jonouchi pulled Kaiba over to a table and lie him atop it, he climbed up beside him and stare down at Kaiba, "Kaiba what's wrong?"
Seto open his eyes and grabbed onto the blond's shirt, he tugged him down atop him and held him close. Jonouchi's weight upon his body eased the muscles and they soon stopped convulsing, Seto sighed and opened his eyes. He hadn't even realized what he had done as his body was in panic, but he found that he wasn't really bothered as the blond lie on him.
Jonouchi didn't fight Kaiba when he had pulled him down, it actually felt nice. He did blush lightly, his cheeks turning a pinkish color. :-: Kaiba's sure gonna smack me as soon as he sees me like this ... better enjoy the moment. :-: But Kaiba didn't knock him off, Jonouchi looked down at Kaiba who was staring back up at him. : He does realize I'm ontop of him right:
Seto stare into Jonouchi big brown eyes, they were full of so much concern for him. It was easy to put Jou down, but as Seto lie there and stare into Jou's eyes, he began to feel another feeling. Not hate ... but a sort of love for the Inu. Jou had after all come to Kaiba Corp. freely and made an attempt to save him. In fact if not for Jou who knows what the computer would have done.
Jonouchi couldn't hold back any longer, his body was getting tense. :-: Why do I have to like him so much. :-:Jonouchi growled softly to himself, he shut his eyes and silently cursed himself, but was shocked to feel the soft touch of Kaiba's lips on his own. His eyes shot open and he looked down at Kaiba. :-: It ... this feels to good. :-:
Seto knew this is what the Inu wanted, and deep down inside himself; he wanted it as well. :-: I can always say that I'm tormenting him ... teasing him. :-: Seto said to himself already trying to think of an excuse as to why he was kissing Jou.
The two of them lay there, arms wrapped around one another. Each deep inside the kiss, moaning softly in satisfaction. Though a large explosion interrupted them. It came from the right, just above the floor they were on.
The ceiling rumbled and lights blew out, small pieces of ceiling began raining down on them and the two looked up, around. Both confused as anything.
The two exchanged glances and noticed that the floor began moving. No, the floor wasn't moving. There were hundreds, no millions of metallic insects on the floor, each hissing louder than the last.
The claws trying to dig into the tender flesh of Yami and Mokuba.
"What the hell are these things?" Yami said as he bend down tearing the creatures out from under his pant legs, and damn did they hurt. His leg was bleeding but not the dark redish color, a more silver-ish black color and it hurt like hell. But even as Yami had removed the vile creatures from his legs, more began advancing and scaling his body.
"I don't know!" Mokuba shouted back trying to overcome the annoying hissing of the damn things. He hadn't recognized these contraptions as anything Seto had ever made. :-: And if Seto did make 'em why the hell would he want them. :-:Mokuba fell onto his ass and pulled the pant legs up to get a clear view of the insects. He almost passed out at seeing what they were doing; the bastards were trying to burrow under his skin, get inside him. Mokuba kicked his legs trying to get them off, but they wouldn't budge, they remained attached to his flesh. In a panic Mokuba looked to Yami.
Yami was trying to stomp each and every one of the metallic monsters, but there were too many. Yami turned to Mokuba, "Hey Mokuba let's just get the--- what the fuck?" Yami felt his jaw drop as to the situation. He rushed to Mokuba's side and assisted in the removal of the insects; but he was unable to help.
The pain was extreme and Mokuba could feel his eyes tearing up. It was like millions of razor sharp blades, each cutting away at his skin, trying to get to his muscle and then make their way inside him; as to destroy him from the inside out. Mokuba's eyes clouded up and he began crying, still trying to get the creatures off him. He places his hands onto his legs and grabbed something wet; he squeezed it and found it to be mushy. :-: Yeah, got one. :-: Mokuba brought his hand closer to his face to see, and what he saw was not what he had expected. It wasn't one of the little robots; it was a large chunk of slimy skin, dripping with blood; the reddened mess glittering in his hands.
Yami smacked Mokuba's hands, knocking the hunk of skin to the floor. A bunch of the insects quickly assaulted the piece of meat and began tearing it apart. All of this was getting to Yami's head, he quickly scooped up Mokuba and looked up towards a row of hospital beds, he needed to help get the fuckers out of Mokuba, though unsure as to what they were capable of. :-: Who the hell cares! Look what they are doing now; it's defiantly going to get worse. :-:His mind was screaming to him.
A quick glance to the beds didn't show much promise. The first bed was stained with blood, it had seemed as though the sheet was dipped in blood, a large lump sat in the center, and to Yami's surprise there were not limbs coming from the mass. :-: What the-- :-:Yami looked past the bed to the next one and found them. :-: Oh, there they are ... :-: His mind said casually not registering the horror that this meant; it took a while to hit him hard enough to get it. :-: Wait! What the ... limbs should be ATTACHED to a body not, the body is .. and the limbs are there and ... :-: Yami felt light-headed and ran past the first two beds to the third.
Mokuba wrapped his arms around Yami tightly, he was crying into the ancient Pharaoh's chest. :-: Seto where are you? I need you, what's going on. Seto please help me ... these things .. :-: He could no longer feel his legs, he moved his head from Yami's chest and looked to his legs. Each of which was covered in a dark colored liquid. :-: Not blood, that's red. :-: Mokuba sniffled and reached out as if to grab an insect that wasn't there, he jerked his arm back and wiped his eyes. When the tears were gone, the clear view showed his legs were covered in four or five large lumps, each vibrating ever so slightly.
Yami looked at the third bed. It was even worse then the decapitated person. A massive pile of rotting flesh sat on the bed, some spilling over the edges. The sheets were stained a nice shit colored brown and the smell ... Yami felt his knees shake. The skeleton laying half on and half off the bed, its organs and muscles exposed, some of the bones destroyed. And to make the situation worse the insects that were now inside Mokuba were crawling in the mound of flesh, hissing happily. He ran past the bed not wanting to let any more of the horror register in his mind. :-: Fuck, I can't let that happen to Mokuba, have to do something now. :-:
"THANK THE GODS!" Yami sputtered seeing the fifth bed, body and flesh free. Perfect, as it should be. Yami glanced over his shoulder to the insects, who were still at the first bed, some of them had stopped to devour and decimate the body; thinking that it was still alive. :-: Good they aren't too fast ... and distracted. :-: Yami shuddered as he set Mokuba down on the bed, he looked down to the boy.
Mokuba was clawing at the lumps shifting in his legs, he was still crying, tears streaming down his face. "Get out, get outta me!" Mokuba was shouting.
Yami wasn't sure what the hell to do. : How do I get them out? Damn it! Maybe we should destroy the others so no more of those things get in him and me for that matter. But how: "Mokuba do you know how to destroy these things?" He asked knowing very well that Mokuba may not answer even if he did know the answer; he was freaking out too much. And even if he managed to try and say something, Yami probably wouldn't be able to understand the poor boy.
Mokuba had heard Yami, and was having a hard time thinking of an answer as the only thing his brain was able to think about was getting the little fuckers out of him: Well Seto's other robot's were destroyed when the basement generator erupted ... maybe if there was an explosion. But here, how: Mokuba looked up at Yami and then made a quick glance around the room. "An explosion of some sort." He muttered squeezing one of his thighs trying to hold back the tears and ignore the pain.
Yami nodded at Mokuba's answer but saw that the boy was in extreme pain. Yami looked to the small nightstand beside the bed, he jerked open the draw and rummaged though it. Thankfully he found two large rubber bands used for when someone's blood is taken. He immediately turned back to Mokuba and tightened the bands around the boys thighs; hoping now that the insects wouldn't be able to cross the make-shift barricade. If he could at least halt their movement the damage wouldn't be as bad.
Mokuba looked up at Yami, "Thanks." At least the pain was subsiding, though Mokuba wasn't sure if that was due to the fact the insects were stopping of that he was loosing feeling in his legs. Wiping the tears from his face he looked to the counter were a centrifuge sat. :-: That could help. :-: "An explosion ..." Mokuba turned back to Yami, "I know how we can make one ... we're just gonna need a few chemicals."
Yami glanced around quickly and his eyes stopped upon a large cabinet/fridge looking thing, it was hunched up against the wall. Yami jumped from the bed and rushed over and jerked the doors open, he glanced at the chemicals note quite recognizing any of them. :-: I wish Yuugi would pay a little more attention in chemistry ... then maybe I'd know a little more about these things. :-: "Which ones do we need Mokuba?"
"Uhh ..." Mokuba had to think, he remembered Seto explaining it to him once. :-: What did he say. :-:Mokuba shut his eyes thinking back to a day where he and his brother were down in B7, it was during one of the few breaks Seto got after his tutoring.
:FlashBack:
Mokuba came rushing down the stairs, eager to see what Seto was up to. He had been in the basement the entire morning, and Mokuba was wondering what he could possibly be doing for so long, especially in B7. "Hey Seto!" The younger Kaiba said eagerly.
Seto glanced over his shoulder at Mokuba, "Hey come here, I wanna show you something."
"What is it?" Mokuba said as he ran over.
Seto turned and held out a small capsule, it was the size of a C-battery, maybe a little longer.
"Uhh ... what's that?"
"Heh, it's an explosive."
"That? An explosive ... how could that little thing do anything?" Mokuba questioned stepping closer to get a look at the capsule.
Seto reached out and pulled his brother close against him, "Don't move. Just watch." Seto tossed the capsule to the far side of the room, the small thing erupted in flames setting fire to an overturned filing cabinet. The sprinklers shot on and quickly put out the flames.
"Cool Seto, how'd you do that?"
"It's not that hard. I'll show ya." Seto pulled up a stool to the counter and waited for his brother to climb up it and sit. He reached for an empty capsule. "It was nitroglycerin."
"What's that Seto?"
"It's a mixture of glycerin, nitric and sulfuric acid. We just have to make it into this." Seto grabbed a pad and jotted down something. He pushed the pad to Mokuba for him to see.
"C3H5(ONO2)3? Uhhh ..." The smaller Kaiba said confused. He watched as Seto made the mixture.
"You just have to be very careful with it. A loud noise or sudden movement could make this explode in an instant."
:FlashBack End:
"C3H5(ONO2)3! The nitroglycerin, Yuugi we gotta make nitroglycerin."
Yami stood there feeling stupid. Yuugi was older than Mokuba and the younger boy seemed to know a whole lot more. Yami sighed and looked to Mokuba, "And we make that how?"
"Just grab glycerol, nitric and sulfuric acid." I'll do the rest." Mokuba said as he went to move from the bed, he scooted off the side and more or less flopped onto his face. "Huh?" Mokuba sat up confused but then remembered his legs.
Yami set the three containers on the counter as he heard Mokuba fall to the floor with a thud; he turned and rushed to boy. Picking up the smaller boy he walked to the counter, "Okay make this stuff and quickly."
Mokuba easily made the concoction; he turned to the centrifuge and inserted each of the 16 capsules inside. "How much time do you wanna give ourselves to get outta here?"
Yami wasn't sure. They had yet to find an exit from the room and he figured that hiding behind one of the beds wasn't going to be enough as protection. :-: Shit ... well we could just break the door down. Yeah that's it. :-: " Uhhh ... how about a minute and a half."
Mokuba nodded and set the timer for a minute and a half. He hit the start button and the machine began the countdown.
Yami propped Mokuba up atop his shoulders and ran back towards the door. The sound of the metallic critters being crushed was muffled by the his heart beat (which seemed to be beating in his throat), in sync with the timer second countdown.
Yami reached the door and gave it a sound kick in the center, nothing. He grunted and kicked it a few more times but had yet to succeed.
01:06 .. 01:05 .. 01:04 .. 01:03 .. 01:02 .. 01:01 .. 01:00 .. 00:59 ..
Yami continued to bash his heel against the door, "Cone on damn you! Give me a break!" Yami shouted at the door, wishing it would just magically open for him.
"Why don't you use something to ram it with or hit it instead of your foor. Something harder?" Mokuba said.
Yami nodded and turned. :-: Nothing too useful here. :-: He grabbed a metal garbage can and turned swinging it as hard as he could at the door. He missed the door but struck the knob, it bent down. Yami wondered why he hadn't thought of breaking the doorknob before. Putting his limited thinking skills aside he continued bashing the doorknob.
00:23 .. 00:22 .. 00:21 .. 00:20 .. 00:19 .. 00:18 .. 00:17 ..
"Please work ... " Yami whispered to himself hoping he and Mokuba would make it out in time."
