Note3: Anything italisized is the computer talking.

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,

but i cannot get out.

I'm 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 I'm 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!

All the things he said

all the things he said

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

As soon as the screaming subsided Seto look up, his gaze stopping on Jonouchi, "Jonouchi you pathetic, insignificant loser! ... you should have stayed at home. But no! You just had to come here ... well that was your first mistake. Your second was even thinking you could get close to me. And for that you will pay .." Seto smirked, "With your life."

"Are you alright Kaiba?" Jonouchi said just louder than a whisper.

Kaiba's eyes narrowed, he clenched his fists tightly. His nails digging into the already dead skin, flakes and often chunks fluttering/spilling to the floor. "What do you think? Do I LOOK alright to you? DO I?" Kaiba screamed taking another step closer to the three.

Jonouchi flinched at Kaiba's tone and stepped back as did the others, "Calm down Kaiba."

"You're telling me to calm down ... Ha ha ha ha. I'd like to see one person, just show me one person who would be calm after going through what I've ju--" Kaiba stumbled backwards, gripping his chest, his entire body began to shake violently. He fell to the floor, continually coughing until a charred mass of flesh drop from his mouth. Soon the burnt flesh was covered in a black curred liquid, Kaiba's blood spewed from his mouth, but not its true color, instead it was a black.

:-: Okay that was it ... the last straw. First the main hall, then the infirmary, then Mokuba, then the first look at Kaiba and now this. :-: Yami's stomach couldn't take it any longer, he shuffled backwards, his eyes shut. :-: Why did Yuugi have to eat all those hamburgers for dinner? Uhhh ... :-:

Kaiba stood slowly, using the back of his hand to wipe the blood dripping from the side of his mouth. He glanced up, and only found two blurry red figures. A quick glance of the room showed the third trying to escape. :-: Can't have this can we? No! Stop, get out of my head! But Seto ... these intruders want to separate us. I don't love you, get the fuck out! Seto I know you're lying, now that I'm a part of you ... I can sense your emotions and they are surging for me, dieing, gasping, needing, wanting. I know you want me Seto. : -:

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Seto screamed, his lungs contracting as the breath shot out, again came the coughing.

:-: What the hell is wrong with this guy:-: Bakura cocked an eyebrow unsure as to his take on this bizarre situation.

The computer finally managed to take control of Seto's now weakened mind and body, now the next phase could go on, immediately Kaiba looked up. The glowing eyes fell upon Jonouchi, "You makeinu. It's time I gut you ... strangle you with your own innards. You'll choke to death with your intestines wrapped around your neck." Kaiba chuckled.

Kaiba advanced towards Jonouchi and reached for his neck. He gripped the blond's neck tightly and pulled him close, he glared intently on the cowering Inu.

"Kaiba stop it! What's wrong with you?" Jonouchi managed to sputter; he shut his eyes and sucked in air through his clenched teeth.

"Nothing is wrong with me. You just never met the real me." Kaiba chuckled and dug his bloody fingernails into the sides of Jonouchi's neck. "Your feelings for me are disgusting ... hey make me sick to my stomach. And I'm going to take so much pleasure in ki--Jonouchi!"

II Yami, it looks like Kaiba's ... fighting with himself. II The Pharaoh nodded and looked up towards Kaiba. II Who is he fighting with though? It doesn't seem like he's fighting himself... II

Yami knew something was wrong but had no idea what exactly. Kaiba was acting strange and Yuugi was right ... it didn't seem like Kaiba was fighting himself. "Kaiba we need to help your brother Mokuba, something's wrong with him. We have to hurry." :-: Whatever the case may be we need to get the real Kaiba out, and his brother is the perfect way to do that. :-:

Kaiba threw Jonouchi to the ground and looked towards Yami, "Mokuba! What's wrong wi--?" Kaiba's spoke quickly, his tone worried, "What's wrong with you! I don't care what's happening to that little pest! He's always been in my way! Holding me back! I don't care WHAT happens to him! Y-yes, I do! Mo-Mokuba!" Kaiba gripped his head and hissed through his teeth, "Stop it! Stop trying to control me! I'm only doing what is best for US!"

"I-I have to help Mokuba. No!" Kaiba's body trembled violently as he shambled forward trying to reach the stairwell doors. His body trying to react as quickly as the mind willed it, but is was impossible.

Bakura walked casually over to Kaiba and put a hand on his shoulder. Bakura forced him to turn around and with that Kaiba nearly fall.

Kaiba felt his mind slipping; he was unable to hold against the oncoming forces of the computer. He was so weak and she was so strong. He blinked slowly, "M-m-mokuba .. I-I'm sssorry." He sputtered, the blackened blood seeping from the corners of his eyes as his mind shut down, the computer now finally in control of her love.

Bakura smiled. :-: Wasn't that cute ... he's bleeding. :-: Bakura shoved Kaiba to the ground and laughed, "How pathetic."

Kaiba landed on his knee and glared up at Bakura, "How dare you call him pathetic. You're the insignificant bastard. You mean nothing! You're live in worthless and it's a shame that you were created as you are just a plane waste of skin." Kaiba stood and wiped the blood from his eyes.

:-: How dare he say that to me. :-: Bakura growled, he narrowed his eyes and stepped towards Kaiba.

Jonouchi sat up rubbing the sides of his neck, "Bakura don't hurt him!"

"He won't have the chance to! Because he's the one who is going to get hurt ... well maybe not hurt because that is a major understatement." Kaiba chuckled and his eyes darted around the room, not quite focusing on anything in particular. Like a snake or something.

Yami shuddered and helped Jonouchi to his feet, keeping an eye trained on Kaiba. :-: We need to get Kaiba to calm down or something ... but how:-:

II I'm not sure ... but maybe Seto would snap out of it if he saw Mokuba. Ya think we can get him here? II

Yami glanced over his shoulder to the spirit floating beside him, Yuugi. :-: I think that may work. Good idea Yuugi. Jonouchi and Bakura can take care of Kaiba while we go. :-:

"Jonouchi, you and Bakura stay here and try to calm Kaiba down. Yuugi and I will go get Mokuba ... we might be able to jog Kaiba's memory." Yami forced a smile and ran for the stairwell door.

Bakura continued forward and he reached out inches from grabbing Kaiba's neck.

"Activate Security System. Level 3. Now!" Kaiba swatted Bakura's hand and stepped back.

One of the computers flickered on and the clam cool voice filled the room, "Thermal Scan Activating. Finding all life forms ... number found 5. Recognizing ... 2. Seto Kaiba and Mokuba Kaiba. Unknowns will be destroyed. Activating Kaiba Corp. Security."

Sirens began blaring and lights flickered on and then began flashing. Small-blackened circles started to appear on the ceiling and the floors of the room, each beginning to glow a faint orange.

The tiles on the floor went from a silver-ish color to a neon orange, the entire room filled up with light except for the two tiles Seto was standing on.

"Enjoy." Kaiba folded his arms and snickered to Bakura. He watched as the white haired boy look around frantically, unsure as to what was going on.

Xx What's happening? xX Ryou's voice rang in Bakura's ears.

Bakura growled and watched as the tiles soon faded. :-: Nothing happened ... odd. :-: He shot a gaze to Kaiba who was still smiling, looking as happy as ever.

Suddenly thin beams of orange light shot up from the tiles cutting through anything in their way, cabinets, computers, generators, pieces of metal. Anything and everything, these lasers could cut through it all.

Bakura stumbled away from one of the beams only to back into another, the beam cutting a chunk of flesh from Bakura's back. He let out a deep-throated growl as he looked at the long bleeding vertical line left by the damned thing.

Jonouchi was running towards Kaiba, dodging the beams as best he could. He had gotten a small piece of his arm sliced clean off but he didn't care. He tackled Kaiba and wrapped his arms around him tightly. As much as he liked the hug, the lasers didn't seem to be going after him ... so why not latch on. They wouldn't risk hitting Kaiba.

Bakura grinned seeing that Jonouchi wasn't such an idiot after all. He also began making his way towards Kaiba. But he didn't get as far as he thought he would, beams shot down from all sides trapping Bakura in a sort of prison.

"Enjoy you worthless pest. Me and the Inu have some things to take care of." Kaiba shrilled with laughter and held Jonouchi close, constricting the blond; he wasn't going to get away.

Bakura screamed in anger watching Kaiba and Jonouchi disappear. A black aura spilled from the Ring and immediately swallowed the room. Computers sparked and the laser's beams swayed, the shadows engulfing them. The entire room erupted in smoke and the beams slowly fade, Bakura stepped from the smoke; his eyes now red with anger. :-: Kaiba is going to pay. :-:
