Chapter 5. Isis?

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

"So, let me get this straight, you're Ishizu Ishtar, right?"

"Right."

"Reincarnation of Isis Ishtar?"

"Right."

"And you remember your past?"

"Right."

"So you knew that we would find you, but you were worried that we would take too long so you came to us."

"Yeah, right."

"So what's the situation?" asked Paige,

"You saw Kaiba get attacked by those demons, right?"

"Right."

"And you saw him accidentally orb, right?"

"Right… Hey how did you know that?"

"As a Seer… premonator. I can tap into your visions."

"Really? I didn't know that." Said Phoebe, wondering if she would be able to do that.

"Yeah." She replied modestly, "But only sometimes. Have you Seen the vision of earlier that day?"

"No. Have you?"

"Yes. Would you like to see it?"

"Please." Said Phoebe eagerly. She placed her palm over Ishizu's and saw what happened in Kaiba's office, with YamiYugi and the exploding glass.

"Oh dear… Particular Manipulation."

"Yes. The rarest and most dangerous power. Which is why I am so concerned at the moment. I thought at first that it might not be "tripped", so to say, but I was wrong. I remember once in Ancient Egypt, being worried about him when he was about eleven or twelve, because it was already "tripped", and he wasn't even a teenager. I worried that he would end up hurting someone, but, surprisingly, he didn't. He could control it by the time he was thirteen."

"Wow." Said Paige and Phoebe in unison. In their opinion, thirteen was far too young to be controlling Particular Manipulation. They remember how long it took Piper to get the hang of it. Ishizu agreed with them, and continued;

"Kaiba, has been trying to block magic out, I think because he believes that it will affect his already busy life badly. In fact, being very practical, he would find it difficult to believe anyway, but I also think that, he might be a bit afraid of it. You know his little brother Mokuba?" They both nodded, "He's all the family that Kaiba has. He was orphaned aged five, and put in an orphanage with his brother. When he was ten, the CEO of Kaiba Corp. at the time, Gozaburo Kaiba, wanted to adopt a son, as motivation to his real son, but that's another story... anyway, Gozaburo was looking for a very clever child. He was also a chess champion. When he met Seto and Mokuba, he challenged Seto to a chess game, saying that if he won, he would adopt them both. Seto did win, much to Gozaburo's dismay, and he and his brother were adopted. That's where the happy bit ends. Gozaburo started training and tutoring Seto to be his heir to Kaiba Corp. He was cruel, and Seto suffered beatings and constant study until he was fourteen. It affectively killed his kind nature and he inherited his cold attitude from his step-father. Gozaburo said that if Seto didn't work, then he would hurt Mokuba. Eventually, when Seto was fifteen, he was challenged to another chess game, and he won again. This drove Gozaburo mad, and he disappeared, leaving Seto as the CEO."

"That is sooooo sad," Said Phoebe, "so why is Kaiba frightened?"

"Two years ago, there was a tournament held at Duellist's Kingdom, the owner of the company who ran it, Maximillian Pegasus, had the Millennium Eye, and used it steal Mokuba's soul. Kaiba was furious, Pegasus trapped his soul as well. Kaiba is worried that magic will take his brother away from him, as it almost did at that tournament."

"Feasible." Said Phoebe. " I can understand that."

"I can too," said Ishizu, "but the point is, Kaiba has magic that he can't control. But we can't get it through to him."

" 'We'? Who's 'we'?"

"There are others who have tried to get through to him. Yugi Motou and myself leading the field. Others who knew Seth." She said.

"Can we meet them?" asked Paige,

"Okay." Said Ishizu. She got up and made a few quick phone calls. "Right." She said,

"Orb us to the Kame Game Shop."

"Don't know it, but the name'll have to work." Said Paige doubtfully. However, they got there and went in. The bell on the door tingled as they walked through.

"Ishizu!"

"Hi Yugi, I'd like you to meet Paige and Phoebe. They're witches who are gonna help us get through to Kaiba, Paige, Phoebe, this is Yugi Motou, reincarnation of Pharaoh Atem." She said confidently.

"Kaiba? Are you sure?" he said,

"Positive." Said Paige, eyeing the Millennium Puzzle around his neck.

"Well… I guess you'd better come meet the guys." He said cheerfully, "come with me." They followed him upstairs to the living quarters, and saw three girls and two boys sitting on the sofa talking. "Guys, these are Paige and Phoebe, they're gonna help us get through to Kaiba." He said, they all said hi, and he began to introduce them; "This is Joey," he said, pointing to a tallish blonde boy. "My best mate. This is Tristan," he said, pointing to a tall boy with brown spiky hair. "This is Téa, Mai and Serenity." Each of them indicated themselves when their name was said. Phoebe's attention fell on Serenity, who was obviously Joey's sister. She looked exactly like Kisara. Her hair was red, and her eyes were hazel, but her face was Kisara's alright. They looked the same height and build, too. Phoebe looked at the rest of them and said;

"So you guys are all from Egypt, right?"

"No." said Joey, "we just like to annoy Kaiba, even if it is dabbling in magic stuff."

"I see."

"Yeah, we don't like him very much." Said Mai,

"You guys are so nasty, I'm sure he's not that bad." Said Serenity innocently,

"Ren, you have no idea what he's like. You've only seen him once."

"I shook his hand," she said, "he was okay then."

"Yeah, never do that again. Old moneybags doesn't deserve girls like you shaking his hand." Said Joey protectively. "If he goes within a twenty metre radius of you, I'll beat him to a pulp!" he said, smacking his fist against his palm.

"Now, Joey, don't get yourself sued, that's the last thing you need." Said Mai jokingly. The others laughed as Joey threw a cushion at Mai.

"Speaking of being sued, we have to get back to San Francisco, Piper will be worried!" said Phoebe,

"Oh God yeah! We have to go, nice to meet you guys, we'll talk about the problem that is Kaiba, and get back to you, Okay?"

"Okay." They said.

"Oh, and be careful not to make him angry. I know you may have done before, but magic Health and Safety applies here. Yugi's probably told you about the smashed glass, let us tell you that if he channels his anger at you, not a glass, then you will be blown up. It is that lethal." She said seriously. They all looked at her, Téa, Mai, Tristan and Joey all looked at her as if she had just told them that a friend had died, Yugi nodded understandingly, and Serenity looked down as if in thought.

"Well… we'll see you guys." Said Paige, taking Phoebe's hand and orbing out, leaving them in the room, thinking; "What was that? How the hell did she do that?" leaving Ishizu with the sorry job of telling them what orbing was.
