This is not in mind.

Let me tell you this,

I feel totally lost

if im asking for help

its only because

being 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

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

This is not in mind, THIS IS NOT IN MIND!

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)

"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." Bakura stared at the fence long and hard trying to think of another way inside before it hit him. Shadow Magic. Bakura grinned devilishly and the Ring began to shake, glowing a brightening gold color.

Bakura threw his arms out releasing the shadows that soon began to consume the sidewalk, inching towards the gates. As the shadows hit the gates they sparked uncontrollably, as if small lightning bolts were shooting out from the metal rods. The shadows swallowed the entire set of gates and quickly beamed a bright purple color as the gates shorted out, letting out just one last burst of electricity. Slowly the shadows dissipated and Bakura kicked open the gates stepping up to Kaiba Corp.

He cocked his head to the side upon reaching the front doors, which were covered by a large metal shutter. Groaning he walked around the side of the building, "Knowing Kaiba there are multiple ways to get inside." Bakura, with the aid of his Ring, found a thin link chain hidden with the grass, pulling on the chain revealed a set of stairs leading down into one of the basements, no doubt.

Ryou had brought him here but Bakura had taken over immediately upon arriving, he felt a strange aura coming from Kaiba Corp., it was strange and he couldn't risk his hikari getting hurt or injured. As much as he hated to admit it, he needed Ryou.

He descended the stairs and shut the secret passage behind him, the Ring lit up as to give him some light and he followed the dank corridor until he came to a door. He turned the knob slowly and poked his head through, and glanced about not seeing anyone or much of anything. : Just a bunch of useless machines. : He stepped through and walked to one of the computer consoles, he stared down at it and the many buttons which lined its large keyboard.

Bakura reached down to push one of the buttons when he heard something, the echo of some one laughing, he spun quickly and his eyes fell upon a door in the northwest corner of the door. Cautiously he went towards it, ready to meet the person head on. He wasn't afraid and would never be afraid. He was the shadows.

:-: Drop it. :-: His mind shouted breaking any kind of concentration he may have had. :-: It doesn't matter if you're going nuts, either way you want to live and get the fuck out of here. Am I right. :-:Unintentionally he muttered, "Yes." : Good. Now, Get going: With that he stood and looked up at the ventilation shaft. :-: I can't reach that ... how am I gonna open it let alone get inside it. :-:

Mokuba watched Yami, trying to take his mind off the insects inside him, "I-I-I can help you get up there." Mokuba said as he half pointed to the shaft. Though he was in terrible pain Mokuba knew sitting around and crying wasn't going to help anyone, even though it seemed to make him feel a bit better. Mokuba stood and climbed the stairs slowly, gripping the railing, digging his nails into the charred wood.

Yami smiled inside. :-: That kid has guts. :-: Mokuba was proving himself to be stronger then Yami ever thought he was. He watched as Mokuba knelt down looking like a footstool.

"Well whatcha waiting for? Get up there already." Mokuba said glancing over his shoulder.

Yami nodded and stepped up onto Mokuba, he reached up towards the grate but he still was unable to reach it. Yuugi's spirit appeared in a flash of light beside the pharaoh.

II Need a hand there partner? Yuugi said, his smiling face putting Yami at ease. II

The ancient pharaoh nodded and together he and his hikari reached for the vent, Yuugi's strength assisting him in reached the grate and eventually pulling it loose. The grate fell to the floor with a clang right beside Mokuba.

"Ya got it, nice going." Mokuba said looking up as best he could. "Now hurry up and go find my brother. He'll know how to fix this mess. I'll wait here for you." Mokuba didn't like the idea of being alone, especially with what was going on, but he was aware that he would only slow Yami down; that is if he would have even made it into the shaft.

Yami grabbed the edge of the shaft and pulled himself inside, he looked back over his shoulder, unable to turn around he yelled, "Are you sure Mokuba? I'm sure we could find a way to get you up here." Yami wasn't to peachy keen on the dea of leaving Mokuba alone, especially with those things inside him. :-: If anything happens to Mokuba, Kaiba is going to shit a brick. And I'm sure after that ... beat my ass in. :-: He took a deep breath to ease his mind.

"Yeah just go. We're just gonna be wasting time thinking. Go find Jonouchi and Seto ... make sure they're okay. Just hurry." Mokuba said, his voice getting a little shaky towards the end.

"Alright." Yami said, "I'll be back as soon as possible Mokuba. You can count on me." He at least hoped he would be coming back. For all he knew this vent could lead him right into the blades of a whirling fan ... or even a pit of alligators. Okay well maybe not the pit, but he wasn't to sure that it was going to be anything good.

Mokuba sat back up and leaned against the shutter at the top of the stairs, he shut his eyes and pulled his knees to his chest. As he wiped his face he rest his head atop his knees, "Please come back..." Mokuba whispered, hoping Yami would come back with his brother and Jonouchi. With a plan and a way out. Maybe with the entire police force. Mokuba pulled the locket out from under his shirt and moved it into view, flipping it open he looked at the picture of his brother and Mokuba smiled; the face of his brother smiling right back at him.

Yami began crawling through the vent shaft hoping that this would lead him to Kaiba and Jonouchi, maybe outside so he could get help. He slowed to a stop as he reached a split in the vent. :-: Left or right. Hmm well right didn't prove helpful last time so let's go with left. :-: Yami turned towards the left and followed the vent shaft for a long while. It had slopped down a few times and another few splits had made appearances but Yami managed to choose each time and now he finally reached a grate.

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

Jonouchi couldn't bring himself to fall asleep, not with that maniac robot on the loose. And even if he could bring himself to sleep, Kaiba wouldn't make it easy. Every attempt at pushing Kaiba away had just resulted in the brunette trying harder to remain close to Jonouchi. At one instance Kaiba was digging his nails into Jonouchi's thighs, giving no signs of letting up. Jonouchi had to stroke Kaiba's face for around 10 minutes before he relaxed enough to let go.

Jonouchi leaned back against the wall; it was so hard staying awake. There was nothing to keep his mind busy; every so often Jonouchi's head would begin to sag as his eye lids shut. But as soon as his chin touched his chest, he would jerk back up again. Jonouchi began to yawn but it was interrupted as he received a sharp pain in his right thigh; immediately he glanced down.

Kaiba had his nails digging deep into Jonouchi's thigh, holding onto to the blond for dear life. His face was flushed and sweat was forming on his brow, he couldn't let go. He soon felt his grip slipping. :-: No! Stay away from me. :-:

The nightmare enveloping Kaiba, he began breathing hard as he glanced over his shoulder to see the computer, he mechanical hands gripping his legs tightly, pulling him away from his lifeline. The bar he had his arms wrapped around; the only thing keeping him from being devoured by her.

She grinned menacingly, two full rows of razor sharp teeth protruding from her mouth. "Don't be afraid Seto. I'm not going to hurt you ... I'm only going to kill you!" She tugged on Kaiba's legs harder wanting him, wanting him NOW.

Kaiba dug his nails into the bar deeper hoping his grip would not slip. "Stay the fuck away from me!" He shouted at her, but she seemed to pay no attention.

"Don't you LOVE me Seto Kaiba? Don't you want me? You want me inside you, deep within you." She chuckled, that horrible sound ringing in Kaiba's ears. She watched him, "Enough is enough. I've tried to be patient but you've ran my patience thin." She dropped Kaiba's legs and lunged forward as to grab onto his chest.

Kaiba's eyes went wide, staring at her body as it seemed to soar through the air in slow motion. He envisioned her wrapping her silvery arms around his body, squeezing the life out. He needed to escape; he pulled himself forward as to push himself over the bar. :-: Need to get away. Gotta -- :-: Kaiba hit something and was stopped dead in his tracks. A quick glance down showed means of an escape, a small hole he would be able to vanish into. Escape.

Jonouchi had been watching Kaiba, the brunette had been murmuring incoherently and fidgeting, digging his nails even deeper into his own thigh; which Jonouchi didn't think was possible, as they already seemed deep as hell. "Kaiba you're having a nigh--" Jonouchi was cut off as Kaiba bolted forward slamming his head into Jonouchi's lower stomach. "Uuuummmmpphhh." Jonouchi said leaning forward, "Damn it Kaiba! What the he--aahhh."

Jonouchi placed his hands on either side of himself, palms firmly on the floor. "K-k-kai-b-ba ... s-s-shtop it." The blond squirmed under the brunette who was nuzzling his head against Jonouchi's crotch, a steady firm motion that made Jonouchi shiver.

:-: Come on! What am I too big? I can't move. :-: Kaiba continued to try and force his way into the hole. :-: Please let me through, I won't let the machine take me. She won't. :-:Kaiba reached forward and pulled at something, maybe that was the problem. Something had been obstructing the path, Kaiba jerked at it continually until it finally came free. He tossed it aside and crawled through.

Jonouchi placed on of his hands on Kaiba's head, he wanted him to push him away but his hand seemed to have a mind of its on. Or maybe it was just showing Jonouchi what his true, underlying intentions were. His had was actually helping Kaiba, helping to give Kaiba an extra push, making the brunette hit Jonouchi harder. "So good …" Jonouchi hissed through clenched teeth.

Suddenly Kaiba grabbed onto the rim of Jonouchi's pants and jerked the blond down to the floor. Jonouchi looked up at Kaiba confused, and lifted his arms to push Kaiba off when the brunette began sliding his body across Jonouchi's, their hips grinding together making Jonouchi even harder, he whimpered slightly as he tried desperately to squirm out from under Kaiba.

But the brunette wouldn't have it, he held Jonouchi down with his weight and continued to push down against him. Jonouchi grunted and bit his lower lip trying to control his body, but it wanted other things. Jonouchi's hips push up against Kaiba as he let a small moan escape from his throat.

"DISGUSTING!" The computer screamed watching Jonouchi and Kaiba. "What does that shit piece think he's doing to MY Kaiba!" She opened a nearby shutter and a robot stood inside. Its lifeless body idly standing there awaiting to receive its purpose. The computer connected with the machine and forced it to come to her, hook itself in and let her take over. She needed to stop that ... she couldn't think of a word to describe that horrible sight.

Soon her mind was transferred into her new body, and immediately her rage consumed her. She stormed from B8 and headed up to where Kaiba and Jonouchi were, ready to take the blond in her hands and break his neck in two. :-: No. That'd be quick and painless ... I want him to suffer! He wants my Kaiba. Well he is going to get Kaiba. :-:She began laughing and it echoed loudly in the narrow stairwell, traveling into the vents for Yami to hear.
