Oh, and I do not own the song "Runnin Through My Head" by t.A.T.u. … In this version she was changed to he and her to him for purposes of the Jou/Seto pairing that will make itself known later.

This is not in mind.

Let me tell you this,

I feel totally lost

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

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

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)

The computer zoomed in on the two who sat in the stairwell, if a grin could spread across her face, it would have at this moment. She saw that her mechanical 'children' had already found a new home inside the boy, though stopped at the thighs they would soon find a way to get to his brain. "Everything is going almost exactly to plan. The boy will soon die. And then Seto will fall into my arms ... with nothing else to live for he will come to me. He will! He must."

"Back to locating Seto." She murmured to herself. She grumbled as a figure approached the Kaiba Corp. gates, a young white haired boy. "Who the hell is that?" She had thought that her day was looking up, Mokuba was going to be dead in a few hours or less, the tri-color freak she could easily just skewer to pieces uses Kaiba Corps. defensive lasers, the blond she would take pleasure in killing herself but now ... "Jonouchi is trying to escape with my Kaiba and that pointy haired shit is removing my 'children' from Mokuba's pathetic body. And now this ... this albino baka." She sighed heavily.

"No matter ... nothing a few electric gates and a few other surprises can't fix." The machine hummed softly to herself. A tune she had once heard Seto hum, and since then it had become her favorite tune. Not particularly because she liked it, but because it came from Seto.

"Now all I have to do is turn on the gates and the little albino will be burnt to a crisp ... Ha ha ha ha. No one else is going to interfere!"

The central computer hissed and a buzz is faintly heard just outside the gates as the electricity now flows through them.

Bakura had stepped up to the gates and leaned closer as the buzz was heard, he was unsure of what it was and wasn't to happy at hearing the sound. The Ring dangled from his neck and the tendrils sway back and forth, one tendril knocked into the gate and a large spark form between the two soon after followed by a 'zzt' noise.

Bakura jumped back feeling a slight shock, a few of his front hairs standing on end, he matted them back down and looked to the gate. "It's electrified? Now why would Kaiba have his front gates electrified?" Bakura said. : Well it IS Kaiba ... so I suppose you never know. :

Bakura thought about Jonouchi's phone call, it had appeared on his message machine, as he had been asleep at the time it was received. : All the said was to come to Kaiba Corp. ... I suppose they all left as I am quite late. : Bakura wasn't sure the reason that Jonouchi wanted him here but he had sounded a tad little uneasy on the machine. "I guess it couldn't hurt just to take a quick look around ..." His eyes fell upon the gate, it buzzed again, "Just as long as I find another way in."

A muffled sound came from beneath Yami.

Yami glanced down to realize he was sitting, more like half laying on Mokuba. He slid off immediatly, "Sorry Mokuba." He gave a small smile feeling like an idiot for crushing the boy whose legs were pretty much useless now. :-: Don't want to give him back problems .. wouldn't that just add to the fun. :-: Yami sighed as he leaned against the wall. He looked to the door but found that a shutter was sealed over it, he silently cursed. His luck had defiantly run out.

Mokuba sat up and leaned back against the bottom stair, he looked back down at his legs which were turning a blue-ish purply color. He was feeling lightheaded, even though he could no longer feel the pain in his legs he knew it was there. His mind was feeding him the pain, doubling and even tripling the amount.

Mokuba reached down and placed his hands on the two buckled Yami had placed onto his legs. Man did it hurt! Mokuba took a deep breath and leaned back; with only a few seconds gone by he was interrupted by a sharp pain in his lower stomach. He cried out and wrapped his hands around himself hunching forward.

Yami looked to Mokuba, "What's wrong?" Yami didn't have to ask, he already knew. A quick glance at Mokuba's leg showed that the insects had found another route up the boy, diverting themselves in his torso as to make it harder to destroy all of them. :-: There were I think 4 of them though ... :-: Yami removed the buckles from Mokuba's thighs and moved the boy to the floor as to lay him down.

Mokuba immediately curled up into a fetal position, his face turning a reddish color as tears streamed down his face. He could feel the monsters tearing his insides up, destroying his organs, wanting his suffering to be prolonged as much as possible until they would finally decide to destroy his brain. "Seto .. s-seto you have to help me ... I-I-I need you Seto." Mokuba whispered.

The ebony haired boy relaxed enough to let his hand run down his stomach, he felt three large lumps and as his fingers ran over them, they vibrated. With that the boy began openly crying, the pain to much, the reality of the situation still not sinking in. :-: This has to be a nightmare ... a horrible dream. Soon Seto will come into my room and wake me up, comfort me and tell me it isn't real. I'm waiting for you Seto ... I can't take much more of this. :-:

Yami knew Mokuba was in horrible pain, and sitting in this stairwell was not at all helping, he had to get out and find some way to help the boy. His eyes darted around the room but soon stopped and fell upon a ventilation shaft, the grate slightly open. :-: Perfect ... I can just climb through and go find Jonouchi and Kaiba. Kaiba will know how to lift the shutter ... then we can get Mokuba and get the fuck out. Once we're out everything will be fine. Everything. :-: He was unaware that he had started talking to himself, whispering to himself. As soon as he realized this he stopped. :-: I am not going crazy. :-: Usually when you tell youself you aren't crazy you are ... you want yourself to believe your not so you continually lie. But Yami knew he wasn't going insane ... but for how much longer would he be able to hold onto his sanity?

Jonouchi looked to Kaiba and grabbed his arm, pulling him up to stand. The brunette put an arm around Jonouchi and leaned against him, as he was unable to support himself. Together they shuffled towards the door hoping that they would be able to find the others, and that everything would turn out all right.

As they walked towards the door Jonouchi turned his head towards Kaiba, the brunette looked horrible. Though finding out why there was an explosion seemed important, the safety of Yuugi an Mokuba as a necessity Jonouchi also didn't want Kaiba to hurt himself. He was in no condition to be walking around, he needs to rest. Jonouchi knew that the Pharaoh wouldn't let anything happen to Yuugi and also knew he was bright enought to take care of Mokuba.

"Why are you slowing down Inu? Come on!" Kaiba snarled nearly yelling into Jonouchi's ear.

The blond flinched and pulled away slightly; he hadn't realized that he had been slowing down. "Uh .. Kaiba I'm sure that Mokuba and Yuugi are fine ... they can take care of themselves. You need to lay down and rest for just a little while ... ya know, regain some strength."

Seto growled and fought weakly against Jonouchi who held him closely, he had to know if Mokuba was all right. With everything that's been going on, 'they can take care of themselves' was such a lie. They weren't safe, they couldn't fend for themselves. They needed him, Mokuba needed him.

Jonouchi pulled Kaiba down to the floor, "Come on Kaiba just relax. You need to rest." He pulled Kaiba's head to his lap and stroked the side of his face gently.

Jonouchi's touch had an immediate but unwanted effect. Seto was calming, but he didn't want to. He glared up at the blond who seemed to ignore the face.

Jonouchi just looked down to Kaiba and smiled, he brushed aside from of the hair that was beginning to cover Kaiba's eyes, hide his beautiful face. Jonouchi shut his eyes as he continued to stroke Kaiba, unintentionally moving lower and lower with each touch. By the time he had realized he was rubbing Seto's stomach, he immediately pulled his hand away feeling embarrassed and ashamed of hmself. :-: But Kaiba didn't stop you ... he didn't even try. :-:

It had felt good, Seto smiled inside as he blinked slowly staring up at the blond. No one had ever touched him so gently, so lovingly. Seto nuzzled his head into Jonouchi's lower stomach, the side of his face brushing the blond's crotch.

Jonouchi shuddered, he placed his hand gently back on Kaiba's face, "That's it ... ju-just relax." Jonouchi smiled awkwardly but Seto hadn't seemed to notice, good. Jonouchi shut his eyes and tried to pull slightly away from Kaiba, his warm breath against the fabric near his crotch slowly seeping through and embracing him gently. Kaiba's movements, pushing against him ... it felt good and Jonouchi felt himself become slightly hard. He wanted to give in so badly, but he knew he couldn't. He mumbled softly to himself, trying to think of other things and side-track his mind.

Seto felt his body go limp, as he lay motionless on Jonouchi, his breathing becoming heavier, he pushed back towards the blond, his head pushing into Jonouchi's hardening cock. Seto was unaware of what was going on, he just wanted to be held. His entire body seemed to be disappearing, the feeling slipping away slowly. He needed someone to hold him, let him know he was still there. It sounded silly as he repeated it inside his head but he wanted to so much right now.

Jonouchi bit his lower lip and put his hand on the crown of Kaiba's head, he gently and slowly pushed him away, letting Kaiba's head lay on his lower thigh; almost on his knee cap. He let out a small sigh hoping he would relax before Kaiba had noticed what had been going on. "You just rest Kaiba ... " Jonouchi said in a whisper watching as Kaiba seemed to drift into a sleep, snoring softly and every now and then gagging.

Jonouchi looked around the empty and eerily quiet room, unaware that the computer had been watching. Her anger boiling up, her jealousy growing.
