Chapter Two: Denial No More

A/N: Hey people! I'm back! First, I'd also like to thank all my loyal readers and reviewers! Luv ya'll! Now on with the fic!

"I got the...grand prize? Yugi wondered, closely examining the golden, spherical ball.

"Looks that way," Ryou replied.

"Aw right! Way ta go Yug!" Joey exclaimed, flaring his arms up in excitement.

"That's great, Yugi," Tea congratulated him, holding out her hand.

"Uh...thanks Tea..." Yugi responded, blushing a deep shade of crimson.

"So Yug, ol' buddy a mine! Who ya gonna bring?" Joey asked, resting his arm on Yugi's shoulder, smiling from ear-to-ear.

"Well, I was thinking about you and Tea of course," Yugi replied hesitantly before Joey interrupted him.

"Of course you invite me! Your best pal in the whole world!"

"Joey! He's not just inviting you! What, do you think the whole world revolves around you?" Tea said sarcastically, nudging Joey's arm.

"What? You mean it doesn't?"

"Never mind..." Tea added, lowering and shaking her head. "So, who else Yugi?" she asked.

"Well, I still have to think about it," Yugi responded.

"Sure. Now, how about we go get something to eat?" Tea suggested, hooking her arm under Yugi's. He just began blushing even more (If that's even possible).

"Aw right! FOOD! I'm starved!" Joey exclaimed, rushing out the door.

"Shouldn't of said...that word," Tea sighed.

"Well, you know Joey, when it comes to food, he's all over the idea!" Yugi added with a small giggle.

"Yugi? You're...laughing?" Tea asked, tilting her head to the side. 'He must be cheering up,' she thought mentally.

"C'MON TEA! YUGI!" Joey yelled from down the street.

"Okay! Okay! We're coming!" Tea shouted back, pulling Yugi away by the arm. His hair flew back from the sudden jolt. (A/N: I know all you Yugi fans would like to see that!)

Meanwhile...

"The High Priest is near...I can sense it..." a soft-spoken female said in a trance-like state as the golden object, which she held in her hands, began to glow brightly. It appeared to be a Sennen item, one of which that had not been discovered yet. The Sennen Charm. (A/N: I, Mysterious Mistress Kura, own this item. No one may steal it!) It had the Sennen Eye surrounded by beautiful, glimmering sapphire. "Please...lead me to him..." She then closed her eyes and began to chant a verse in what seemed like Ancient Egyptian. Suddenly, the charm floated up from the palms of her hands and, in mid-air, seemed to point in the direction of Kaiba's mansion. The girl then quickly ran off.

At the Kaiba Mansion...

Seto Kaiba, teenage CEO of the world famous Kaiba Corporation, sat at his desk, busily hacking away at his laptop when...

Knock! Knock!

'Who could that be?' he thought mentally, getting up from his chair, turning off his computer and heading downstairs.

Knock! Knock!

"I'm coming already!" Seto hollared as he turned the doorknob. When he opened the door, he saw a young, teenage girl, who looked about his age. She had long, silver hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a pale complexion. "What do you want?" he asked, not even bothering to make direct eye contact with her.

"Is - Is it really you?" was all she managed to say.

"What are you talking about? Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. How rude of me. My name is Kisara. I have been searching a long time for you...Seth," she replied as Seto nearly dropped dead.

"Wh - What! What are you - My name is Seto Kaiba! Not Seth! Just what are you trying to pull here?" Seto spat.

"Don't tell me you forgot me...well...your memory must have faded. Allow me to refresh it..." Before Seto could respond, Kisara took her Sennen Charm from around her neck, chanted a few words, and before long, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes. Suddenly, he was no longer in Domino City.

"Where - Where am I?" he thought aloud.

"I have brought you here...with the powers of my Sennen Charm..." Kisara replied, holding the golden object out in front of her and speaking in a trance-like state.

"Where is here?" Seto asked once more.

"Egypt..." she responded.

"WHAT! That's ridiculous!" he exclaimed, eyes widened with fear. No matter how hard he tried to deny it, there was no escaping his ancient past.

"It's true...just watch and listen..." Kisara added and pointed downwards to where someone, who looked like one of the High Mages from Egypt based on the robes he was wearing, was kneeling before a stone tablet that had an image of the Blue Eyes White Dragon on it. He was also holding a girl in his arms, but Seto could not make out the face, as it was cloaked in shadow.

"I'm sorry that it had to come to this, Kisara," the priest said.

"What? That can't be..." Seto exclaimed, shifting his gaze from Kisara, to the priest, and back to Kisara again.

"It is true..." Kisara replied as the "image" of Egypt disappeared, and in its place, was the Kaiba Mansion. The second that Kisara transported them back, Seto then held his head in confusion.

"That...that can't have happened...I don't...I don't believe it!"

"Deny all you want, my priest. But you will have to live up to your past eventually."

"I-AM-NOT-A-PRIEST! I'm the president of Kaiba Corp! So why don't you take your hocus pocus nonsense to someone who cares!" Kaiba shouted, pointing to door, motioning for her to leave.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that. That is because I need your help. You are only one capable of helping me." Seto then became extremely silent. "Please, just hear me out." Seto nodded slowly, waiting for her to continue. "I have sensed that there is a new evil approaching. I also know that the Pharaoh has won tickets to Hong Kong, the site of this new threat. You are destined to go and help the Pharaoh." Seto then spoke up.

"Why me?"

"The Pharaoh and the High Priest were not only of great importance in Egypt, but also held great power. Their Sennen Items were the key to this power. The Sennen Puzzle and the Sennen Rod. These were the most powerful items amongst them all. Do you now see why you must go?"

Seto hesitated for moment and then replied, "I...I understand. I'll go."

"I offer great thanks, my priest," Kisara said, bowing and turning around so that her back was facing Seto. "I shall assist you."

"What? What do you mean?" His eyes widened, not with fear, but confusion. All of the events were occuring so quickly that it was giving him a headache. He then began to rub his temples in a circular motion.

"Don't worry. I will speak to the Pharaoh." She then cuffed her hands around her Sennen Item, not touching it directly, and began to chant a few words. Suddenly, a bright light appeared for a few seconds, and when it disappeared, Kisara looked as though she was sleeping standing up. Seto tried to shake her awake but it was no use.

"Kisara! Kisara please wake up!" he pleaded, lowering himself to his knees. A tear slowly slid down his cheek. (A/N: Aw, Seto's getting sentimental! So kawaii!)

Meanwhile, Kisara had mentally transported her mind to the heart of the Sennen Puzzle, deep within the Pharaoh's soul room.

"My Pharaoh..." Kisara said as Yami appeared behind her, half of his face cloaked in the darkness.

"Kisara...it's been awhile..." Yami replied with his arms crossed.

"Yes it has. But that is not the reason I am here."

"What is it?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.

"My Sennen Charm has detected a new enemy. Its presence currently resides in Hong Kong, and, if I'm not mistaken, it tells me that your hikari and his friends are to journey there on a trip," she explained.

"Yes, that's true," Yami responded. "But why have you come to tell me this?"

"I have already spoke with Seto Kaiba and he too will accompany your light and his friends to Hong Kong, in order to defeat this evil."

"Kaiba? But why him?" Yami asked wide-eyed.

"In Ancient Egypt, when you reigned as Pharaoh, Seto Kaiba, or Seth, stood as High Priest. The Pharaoh and the High Mage were the most powerful people across the land,

with their Sennen Items. Your Sennen Puzzle and his Sennen Rod."

"I understand. I will tell Yugi." Yami then brushed past her, arms still crossed. Before he went to open the door to exit his soul room and enter Yugi's, Kisara stopped him.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

"Heed my warning. If you haven't yet noticed, your hikari has been entranced in a dream lately. Actually, it is more like a nightmare. Just tread cautiously when approaching him."

"I will. Thank you Kisara." With that, Kisara disappeared out of his soul room, and began to re-awaken where she was previously standing...in Kaiba's mansion...being held in tight grips by the CEO himself.

"Kisara!"

"Hello my priest."

"Where did you go? I was so worried about you!" Seto exclaimed, wiping away the single tear that had been slowing slipping down his right cheek. 'What am I saying? What's wrong with me? Why am I acting like I love this girl? I don't even know her! This is too weird!' he thought mentally.

"Do not be afraid. I was just engaged in a conversation with the Pharaoh."

"What? You mean..." Before Seto could finish his statement, the image of the stone tablet appeared in the front of his mind. 'What's...going on? Why does this image keep coming back to me?' He stood, frozen stiff in time, for what seemed like five minutes. That is, until Kisara snapped him out of it with the power of her Sennen Charm.

"Is something troubling you my priest?" Kisara asked with grave concern.

"What? No...I...I don't know..." Seto replied holding his head in frustration.

"That is all right. You will figure out your past when the time is right," Kisara said in a comforting and soothing tone.

"Thank you," Seto responded, moving his hands from his head back down to his sides. He then began to blush a light shade of red. 'Now this is getting too weird! First I cry for this girl, and now I'm acting like a lovesick bird!'

"I must go now. But do not worry, I shall return in time for the trip. Farewell...my priest." With that, Kisara vanished out of sight. Seto just stood completely speechless, with his mouth wide open in astonishment at how fast she could come and go. He couldn't admit his true feelings towards her, but it was obvious that he had become rather fond of the mysterious girl.

END OF CHAPTER TWO

A/N: Phew! Finished! So, how was it? Did ya like it? I know that most of this chapter was about Seto and Kisara but I had to put them in sometime. Otherwise, Seto would of killed me! Anyway, please review and tell me what you thought!
