I hope you all love this chapter. Here, we get in on the action. And I loved the reviews I had on the last chapter! And I've decided to do away with updating almost every week and I'll just update whenever the heck I finish a chapter! And I was so ready to cut to the chase of this fanfic that I posted everyday for three days straight. If I hadn't been so impatient, we probably would be at chapter five right now. So, with that out of the way, I'd like to thank all of you reviewers and readers for your time for reading my stories. By the way SerenePanic, was the beginning of your review from the abridged series of Yugioh? I wouldn't really know, I've only seen a few scenes that were kinda funny.

Kisara stopped running as rain poured down in torrents to catch her breath. The wind howled as it snatched what little air the girl had from her lungs, the thunder roared and the lighting turned the blackened skies into an Aurora Borealis.

The road under Kisara's bare feet forked in two directions: one went forward and the other to the right.

"Which way should I go from here? One way leads to the game shop and the other leads to Kaiba Corporation Headquarters," she said to herself as her crystal began to glow with a blinding light. "What in the world-" Her words were cut off as a strip of black power hit her in the side, knocking her into a lamppost. She hit the iron bar in the small of her back, spun around the post and landed hard on the cement. "How did I know you'd target me first?" she spat towards the street to the right: the one that lead to the Kame Game shop. A small, stout, hooded figure hid in the shadows, chuckling to itself.

"Perhaps you know me far too well my dear," the voice sounded as though four or five people were speaking at once.

"Don't you dare call me that, you two-faced freak! And you made the mistake of coming after me instead of my family! You know that you would've had a better chance against them compared to what I'm going to do to you!" Kisara shouted as she stood up and wrapped her fingers around her still-glowing crystal. The figure merely wagged a finger at her and clicked his tongue in a disapproving manner.

"Now now my dear, if you attack your guests you won't have them over again."

"Like I'd ever want you near my home again! Remember, darkness will always succumb to light," Kisara shouted as the light from her crystal escaped through the gaps in her fingers and the streetlamp she'd just hit flickered on. The smell of ozone burned in the street and the clouds seemed to tense, waiting for the power to strike. Kisara's eyes gained a white glow until her irises were the same blinding color. A bolt of white lightning shot from the skies and hit the ground, not far from where Kisara was standing, and left a cloud of smoke and sent pieces of asphalt flying.

Once the smoke cleared, the figure looked at where the white-haired girl had been standing a few moments before, but now there was not but an empty street and a lit streetlamp.

"You think you're clever don't you my dear?" He glared at the streetlamp. "But I think you've got it wrong. It's light that always succumbs to darkness." He snapped his large, sausage-like fingers and a swirl of darkness, almost like whiplashes, attacked the light until it was no more and shattered glass was all that remained of the lamp."And I will hunt you down, the way I always do." The man proceeded into the darkness, laughing to himself.

Seto leaned back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair. A bolt of white lightning forked across the skies as he sighed.

"Perfect," he muttered, "Just finished a huge project and now a storm blows in. Just perfect." He righted himself and began typing again before noticing a slight shadow on the floor and a darkening spot on the carpet. "Who-" he began as he stood up, reaching under the desk for the gun he kept there. How had this person gotten past his security? But he stopped himself the second the cool metal of the barrel touched his fingertips. His other hand reached to the lamp on his desk and pulled the chain so the light flickered on, catching the light of knee-length white hair and pale bare feet. "Kisara?" The girl had her arms wrapped around herself and looked almost ready to faint. Her crystal was still faintly glowing. "What's wrong? How did you get up here so fast? What happened?" Kisara gave her head a quick shake and brushed the water from her face.

"I think I have to tell you something," she said timidly, as if afraid he'd lash out against her in a fury.

"You what?"

"But there's not enough time to explain. We have to leave now."

"Now? In this storm?" Kisara nodded. "How did you get here anyway? There's no way you ran all the way." Kisara nodded again. "How I got here's a bit of a secret. But we have to leave now! I promise I'll explain everything you want to know when we get to my house. My brothers have fortified the place to stand up to this."

"This," Seto gestured to the window behind him, "Is a regular rain storm that's going to blow over in a few hours, a couple of days, max." Kisara shook her head vigorously, throwing water droplets onto the walls and floor.

"Trust me, it's not. Have you ever seen lightning like that?" she asked pointing out at the clouds, now turning vibrant shades of scarlet, violet, green, blue and gold. "My brothers and I knew this was coming, Seto-kun. But if we'd warned people they would've thought that we were complete lunatics. Trust me; this storm is like nothing you've ever experienced. It'll only get worse from here until my brothers and I beat a psychopath that's on the streets."

"Wait a minute, what psychopath?" Kisara growled under her breath.

"I'll explain at my house. Right now we've got to-" Her words were cut off by the sudden, rhythmic shaking from the ground. "Oh great," Kisara said before cursing under her breath. "The street won't do us much good now. Is there a way to get to the roof?" Seto nodded.

"Let me just get Mokuba," he said as he moved towards one of the couches where a dark lump was sleeping.

"That's Mokuba? Not much resemblance is there?" Kisara thought to herself as Seto picked up the black-haired boy.

"There's a button to call the elevator under my desk." Kisara darted over and got on her back to search. She found it without a problem but before she left she took the gun and tucked it into the back of her skirt and pulled her shirt over it.

The doors to the elevator closed around the three and in the light, Seto was able to get a better view of Kisara. Her white hair was sticking to her back and looked more like a pale blue color that had mounds of dust covering it. Her irises were getting slightly darker by the second. He could've sworn they'd been an almost-white-blue color when she'd appeared in his office.

The doors gave a light ding as the trio arrived on the roof.

"What are we doing Kisara?" Seto asked as the rain started waking Mokuba. Kisara looked in the direction of her house where a large creature with gray-green-black skin, dusty-purple horns, four silver claws on each hand and what appeared to be a snake coming from his navel.

"That thing is being controlled by that psychopath I warned you about," Kisara said, pointing at the creature. Mokuba opened his eyes and looked around him.

"Uh, what's going on?" he asked. Kisara sighed as she searched the skies, expecting something.

"Let's just say that this storm's spat out the worst it could. And the longer it stays here, the more danger everyone is in." Kisara gave up her search on the skies. "I don't believe this."

"Believe what?" Seto asked as he set his brother down. "How are we getting to your house from up here?" Kisara took a step towards the edge and looked down at the street quite a few dozen stories below.

"I was thinking of flying," she said with a smirk and a glint in her eye.

"And just how, do you suppose we're going to do that?" Seto asked. Kisara turned to face him, the heels of her feet hanging over the edge.

"I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere," she said as she leaned back.

"What the heck!" Mokuba jumped out of his brother's way as he ran to where Kisara had been standing a few seconds ago.

Kisara felt the rush of adrenaline through her veins and the pull of something powerful inside of her. She smirked as the ghostly image of a large dragon appeared in a shining white color. Before even a few seconds had passed the image had become real flesh and blood. Kisara landed as gently in the claws of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as if she'd merely taken a cautious step onto a mattress.

"Good girl. Now, we're going to have two other riders. Think you can manage it?" The dragon let out a roar and wrapped its claws around its host as it glided upwards to where the other two passengers were waiting.

Seto jumped back as the head of his favorite Duel Monster appeared right under his nose. He barely missed being knocked over as the dragon flew up until its claws could unwrap on the same place Kisara had just jumped from, allowing the white-haired girl to step back onto the roof of the building.

"Told you I'd be right back," she said with a smile as the dragon made a gentle touchdown. Even in the pouring rain and darkened skies, the dragon's white scales reflected what little light there was so the entire roof was lit up in a warm cascade of light. The dragon's blue eye met with Mokuba's dusty blue-violet ones and let out a sort of growling purr. "She's perfectly tame. But on a rainy night like tonight, I'd normally recommend that you ride in her claws and not on her neck, just for safety reasons but since I can't promise it'll be a smooth ride, looks like we'll have to be very careful," Kisara said as she pulled herself onto the dragon's neck, leaving plenty of space for the two Kaiba brothers behind her.

Seto helped Mokuba up before he pulled himself onto the dragon's neck. As the creature began to move, slight vibrations shook the neck as if the dragon was growling somewhat or trying to purr again.

"Alright girl, let's go home now." The dragon unfurled her wings and walked over to the edge of the building.

"I always thought it would be cool to ride a dragon," Mokuba said. Kisara smirked and looked at the small boy between her and Seto.

"Trust me Mokuba, there's nothing better. I tell you now. It's even better to ride her into a battle."

"A battle?" Before Kisara could say anything more the dragon's muscles tensed and it took off into the dark night, towards Kisara's house and the large creature before them. The hooded figure stood upon its shoulder, large hands - almost the size of baseball gloves - were rubbing together in a gleeful manner. The creature's snake made a desperate snap at Kisara's dragon. Mokuba almost slipped as the dragon made a quick ascend into the clouds for an instant before dropping back into its original flight path.

"That's begging for a fight," Kisara muttered under her breath. The dragon gave an agreeing snarl before circling the creature at a safe distance. "Not now girl. We've got to get to the house first." The dragon growled as if to say, "Just one little tousle?" but Kisara shook her head and the dragon turned towards the house. Kisara's eyes never once left the hooded figure.

"An old ex-boyfriend?" Seto asked over a roar of thunder.

"No. He's not even a friend! He's that psychopath I told you about in your office. He's the reason all these clouds are here. I don't know what he's planning but whatever it is, it is anything but good." The figure looked up at them and his hood fell away, revealing slightly gray-tan, flabby skin that just sagged everywhere, pink hair that stood up in a horseshoe under his temples and around his head, and small, black eyes.

"Now now my dear, if I was to allow you to escape so easily, I wouldn't be that much of a dragon hunter would I?" The creature made a swipe with its claws at the Blue-Eyes and narrowly missed grabbing the reptile's tail.

"Who is that guy? What does he want?" Mokuba asked as the Blue-Eyes resumed circling the beast.

"That guy doesn't have a name. At least, not one he's ever told us. We ran into him once in San Francisco and he set his sights on getting my Kaa from the instant he saw it."

"Your what?" Mokuba asked.

"My Kaa. And to be honest, I'm not sure exactly what a Kaa is. From what I've seen, Kaas tend to resemble monsters from Duel Monsters. That's why it became the obsession of my family after my first Olympic. He came after us with a Diabound at first. It's because he saw my dragon that it evolved to this. And I think that guy's not only after my Kaa because of its power. I think he physically wants me to be his." At that, Seto's arms wrapped a little more possessively around Kisara's waist, squeezing Mokuba between them. The Diabound made another swipe at them and narrowly missed clawing into the thin membranes of the wings.

"Gosh!" Mokuba shouted as a bolt of green lightning narrowly missed the other wing. "Can't this guy give it a rest? Someone's going to be killed!"

"That's his plan I'd guess," Kisara shouted over a roll of thunder. "He'll stop at nothing to gain my dragon. But we won't give ourselves so easily, will we girl?" Kisara said the last part more to her dragon, which gave a loud roar of agreement and gave a toothy grin that closed its eyes. Kisara also beamed proudly and looked down at the figure.

"Oh Kisara! You ought to be taught a few things about pride!" Before Kisara could react the Diabound swiped again, this time hitting its mark and grabbing the Blue-Eyes around the neck just behind the head. The beast flailed, sending Seto, Mokuba and Kisara off the side. The brothers managed to land on a stand for a billboard while Kisara had managed to grab onto her dragon's tail at the last instant.

The white dragon's claws became scarlet as it clawed at the beast's fingers around its neck. Kisara managed, by some miracle, to hang on as the Diabound pulled them close. The Diabound grabbed the dragon's tail and pulled Kisara off as if she were nothing more than a hair on a coat and placed her at the feet of its master. He reached down, grabbed Kisara's chin and forced her to look at him as Diabound restrained the struggling white dragon.

"You see my dear? You can't out-run me all the time, and now, you are mine!"

"THUNDERFORCE ATTACK!" shouted a familiar voice. A ball of golden electricity hit Diabound in the chest, forcing it to let go of its reptilian hostage and send Kisara off the shoulder.

Pheonix: Well, I hope I left you on a good cliffhanger. Haha!

Cerberus: You're going to get a large amount of flames for that.

Pheonix: Shut up you dang Yami! Sorry about him. He's just my Yami that decided to jump in this late in my writings.

Cerberus: What do you mean "This late"? You're the one who shut herself in her room to write! By the time I got in, you were done!

Pheonix: I also said "Shut up". Good grief. You-

Cerberus: Are extremely loveable?

Pheonix: Hardly. Please Review!
