Pheonix: Here's to my second anniversary! And quick thing, Seto wasn't taking advantage of Kisara's fear. She wasn't listening to reason, she was stressed and scared and freaking out so Seto did the only thing to distract her without physically hurting her. I don't know if this works for everyone but it works for me that if I'm stressed and someone distracts me from it, I really calm down. By the way, remember how I said that Kisara came back from San Francisco? Well, if you see bold writing, that will be English. Please review!

Mockery Will Get You No Where

By Sailor Pheonix1997

Almost like a huge knot had come undone in her chest, Kisara felt all her fear, hysteria, and stress melt away into pure enjoyment. Eventually, but too soon for Kisara, Seto pulled away. Kisara closed her mouth before a whimper of desire crept through her throat. Seto seemed to be the only one able to hear it over Katsuya's yelling. He pulled her into his chest.

"No one will be giving themselves up for anyone," Seto assured her. "We'll find Yugi and we'll take down this fiend once and for all." Kisara nodded and Seto pulled her away. "Good, now go eat. You'll probably feel better after a good meal. After that, we'll discuss a plan." Kisara nodded again as Teana came up, took her sister-in-law's arm and dragged her, a still-cursing Katsuya and a scolding Anzu and Shizuka back into the dining room. Mokuba followed after with an interested look on his face.

Atemu laughed and clapped Seto on the shoulder.

"Wonderfully done Kaiba-kun. It would've taken us hours to convince her and even then, she may not have listened," Atemu said.

"Do you have any ideas Kaiba-kun," Tozokou started. "As to where to start that is?"

"I think so," he replied. "If anything, I know a way to get to the dungeons where we think Yugi's being kept. I could help out with that."

Barely half an hour later, all the able-bodied members of the house were sitting in the living room, trying to ignore the odd feeling of awkwardness caused by Katsuya sitting in between Kisara and Seto, glaring at the brunette for having the audacity to kiss his sister in his presence. Kisara and Seto barely took notice. Their eyes would wander around the room for a few seconds, physically meet or meet in some reflective thing, Kisara would flush red and they'd look away before the cycle started again.

"Well, then," Atemu said from his place next to Teana. "Any ideas anyone?"

"Well," Kisara piped up. "When we were at the house, that dragon hunter said that Yugi was bait for me and that he was being kept at the place where his fame had begun. Seto…-kun, said that that place is called Duelist Kingdom. Apparently, it's an island a ways off the coast. If we were to take a boat it would take a long while that we could be using for finding Yugi. If we were to use our dragons, we could be there in a few minutes, fifteen tops." Atemu nodded.

"If we're using dragons," Tozokou spoke up. "We'll be riding the saddles."

"What?" Kisara whined. "The saddles are no fun though!"

"Better than slipping off and going splat!" Tozokou reported. Kisara pushed herself into the corner of the couch and pouted.

"Didn't need that image."

"Well it's reality," Tozokou said.

"On another note!" Atemu spoke up, feeling the pressure between the siblings growing. "We'll need to leave a few people behind. Even though Slifer, Ra and the Blue-Eyes are strong with attacks, they cannot carry all of us to Duelist Kingdom and back."

"Well," Yami said from the shadows, making Kisara jump slightly before letting out a low sigh. "Atemu, Tozokou, Kisara and I will all be going for sure. Kaiba-kun will be coming too since he apparently knows a way into the dungeons. That should be enough since we'll be coming back one person heavier."

"Oi! Wait a minute!" Katsuya shouted, leaping to his feet, the tips of his ears were starting to turn a very interesting shade of redish-pink. Mokuba walked over to his brother and crawled into the seat next to him. "What are we going to do about Kaiba's little incident earlier?!" Atemu sighed.

"Katsuya, if Kisara hadn't liked it, she would've done something about it. Don't worry about your Nee-san. She can handle herself just fine. Trust me, thinking lightly of a girl who took gold medal in swimming Olympics is a very serious mistake. It takes a very powerful pair of legs to win the Olympics at only 14," Atemu said. Kisara rose to her full height and looked extremely proud of herself.

"That brings up something for me," Mokuba said. "The youngest people in the Olympics have to be 15, turning 16 when they enter the games. No offense to Kisara-chan, but she would be too young." Kisara chuckled.

"True, Mokuba-kun. But in America, I was 15 turning 16. See, when I was making my passport, I had to do something and Yugi came in. Instead of a 6 in my year of birth he put a five, making me twelve when I entered America. So when I won the Olympics, I was technically 15, almost 16 by American records. Since then, they've overlooked it. So really, we have Yugi to thank for my winning." Mokuba nodded before staring at his toes.

"Well then, now that we've got a plan, we should probably get ready," Yami said. Atemu nodded and stood up with his brothers and Kisara.

"Yami and I'll dig the saddles out of the garage," Tozokou said as he and his brother quickly left. Seto stood up and left the room before anyone could say anything to stop him. Kisara bit her lip as she headed after her brothers. She was barely aware of Katsuya sitting down and muttering a few choice words about Seto and a few ideas about where he could stick his Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards.

Kisara sighed as Tozokou handed her a saddle that would've been large for the largest racehorse. There were two areas for someone to sit complete with straps that would keep the rider from falling off or sliding back.

"Hey, remember, it's a dragon's seatbelt." Kisara rolled her eyes and nodded before heading outside where Slifer, Ra and the Blue-Eyes were all waiting. Yami had already saddled Slifer with a saddle similar to Kisara's and Ra had two places, one on each arm, for someone to be strapped onto with their bodies instead of sitting, one on each arm. Kisara started putting on the saddle, getting an annoyed sort of call from the throat of her Kaa.

"Now, now. It's alright. Remember, we might get to show a few tricks to Seto," she whispered. Her dragon trembled. "I see you're excited girl. Now just calm down. We don't want Seto to fall off while we're showing him our tricks." The dragon hummed gently. Neither were aware of Seto watching them from his place against the wall. He looked up at the skies, still pouring rain and flashing multi-colored lightning. He noticed at as the rain fell, not a drop came into the property. All of it seemed to land on a glass dome before sliding off, yet whatever it was, it didn't catch the light of the lightning.

"Kisara, hurry up with that saddle!" Yami yelled.

"I'm already done Ani-kun!" Kisara shouted back as she pulled a bit over her dragon's head and secured it between the two rows of razor-sharp teeth. She adjusted the reins a bit and patted the dragon's neck gently. "Don't worry girl, once we're back, I'll be sure to take off this saddle and once night falls, we'll go have some fun without the saddle." The dragon tossed her head in desire and let out a sort of baying noise. Once she settled down, Kisara kissed her nose and turned to Seto.

"Ready?" he asked. Kisara nodded.

"She's ready, unhappy about the saddle but ready." Kisara tried to put her foot in the stirrup but her dragon's head tossing had caused it to become too tall for her to reach. She sighed, not noticing Seto walking up behind her until he grabbed her around the hips and lifted her off her feet.

"Need a hand?" Seto asked as Kisara secured her foot in the stirrup and swung her other leg over her dragon's neck.

"Thank you Seto-kun." Seto secured his foot into the stirrup behind Kisara's and hoisted himself behind the girl. Kisara made quick work of securing their legs to the saddle and the dragon buffered her wings. Ra let out a cry and Slifer snarled as all three leapt into the air.

Never before, not even while he'd first been riding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, had he ever seen or felt such emotion and excitement as he did now. The dragon's wings had to stretch at least twenty feet each side. The white scales reflected the sunlight that shone over the black clouds. The speed the dragons flew at would make the fastest car or train on Earth feel like a tortoise in comparison. The adrenaline of simply sitting upon this great beast was far too much for Seto to even consider giving it words to describe the emotion.

"It's amazing isn't it?" Kisara said.

"This redefines amazing!" Seto said. Kisara chuckled.

"If you like this, you'll love what we've got planned for the dragon hunter!" The dragon beneath them roared and sent a bolt of lightning into the bright blue skies. Once it vanished from view, it exploded, sending a visible sonic boom large enough that the dragon could fit through easily.

The Blue-Eyes gently landed over the cliff where Seto had landed during the Duelist Kingdom tournament was going on. The dragon bayed lightly as Kisara unfastened the straps that had secured their legs to the saddle and slipped off. She wobbled slightly before slapping her thigh.

"I hate those straps. They make my legs fall asleep," she muttered as Seto also slipped out of the saddle. He patted the Blue-Eyes' neck gratefully, not really bothered with the feeling of his legs. He'd been forced into worse. "Do you know the way from here?" Kisara asked, shaking her leg, trying to wake it up again. Seto looked at the castle on top of the mountain.

"If we head towards that castle, we'll find the prison entrance around the base of the mountain." Kisara nodded and looked up at the skies. These skies seemed untouched by the dark powers over Domino City. The clouds that hung over Duelist Kingdom were various shades of white and gray and the blue skies could be seen. After so long of being under a constant blanket of clouds, it was a little unnerving for Kisara to see the patchwork of clouds. She felt like she was too vulnerable, completely exposed.

"After you," she said. Seto looked her in the eye and smirked.

"Scared?" She shrugged.

"You know the way Seto-kun," she said. Seto shrugged and started towards the castle. Kisara rubbed her left shoulder and followed after. "I suspect you've been here before?"

"Of course. In fact, when I first landed here, I ran into three of your siblings and two of their friends. Apparently, Pegasus had stolen my Duel Monsters deck after his men had tried to kill me and I jumped out of a window over a cliff. He'd given the deck to my darker half and he dueled Yugi. When Yugi beat him, he sent him back to the Shadow Realm and took my deck. I've never exactly liked depending on people for anything. If it were up to me, I'd run my company 100% on my own." Kisara smiled and gently took hold of his hand, making him look at her.

"And yet, you don't seem to have any problems with letting us protect you." He raised an eyebrow at the girl. "For instance, you seemed to have little trouble with coming with me last night. According to what I've heard about you, you're a tough nut to crack. Sorry, maybe I'm reading too much into this," she said as she tried to loosen her grip but Seto's tightened. Kisara's cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"I don't know what it is about you but there's something that makes me want to tell you everything that I can talk about, everything I know, everything I've wanted to keep secret from even Mokuba. And there I go again!" Kisara squeezed his hand again.

"I'm honored that you trust me so much after only knowing me for a few weeks." Seto's grip lessened somewhat in surprise, just enough for Kisara to dart ahead, giggling to herself. Seto shook his head for a second and smirked but then it vanished. The barrel of a gun was pointed right at Kisara's temple. Hiding in the trees and shadows was Saruwatari, the goon that had done the exact same thing to Seto during the Duelist Kingdom Tournament that he was doing to Kisara now.

"Hey there dear, are you lost?" Kisara raised her hands over her head before fixing the spike-haired man with a very pointed glare.

"You speak English. And it's not I who is lost. It's my little brother," Kisara said. Saruwatari smirked.

"Indeed, now since you're looking for someone, how about we go to Mister Pegasus' castle now?"

"I don't feel like going anywhere with the likes of you," Kisara said lightly.

"If you refuse, I'm afraid I'll have to take drastic measures. And I'd hate to get blood all over a pretty face."

"You want to give me a try?" Saruwatari pressed the barrel into her temple.

"Your funeral." Saruwatari began to pull the trigger but Kisara whipped a card from nowhere, a blue poker card featuring the Ace of Hearts, and stuck it in between the hammer and stopped the shot. "What in the- A card?" Kisara grabbed hold of the barrel and twisted it out of Saruwatari's grip and a loud CRACK reached Seto's ears, making him cringe as Saruwatari gripped his injured hand. Kisara dropped the card and the ammo from the weapon and smirked at the man before hitting him hard on the nose with the butt of the gun. Seto flinched as blood started running down Saruwatari's face but Kisara wasn't done yet. She grabbed Saruwatari by the tie and collar of his jacket before yanking him over her shoulder and pulling him into a headlock.

"Now you know what happens to those who cross me. Like the old saying goes, 'Mockery shall get you nowhere," she said as Seto walked up behind her.

"Now then, why don't you make this easy for yourself and show us where Yugi is?" he said. Saruwatari growled and Kisara's grip tightened.

"Fine, but you'll only find disappointment there." Kisara snarled.

"I don't care if Yugi wants to see me again or not, I'm his big sister and I will save him. Now, shut up and show us where Yugi is, understand?" Kisara lifted the gun, now covered in dents, and moved it in small circles as a threat.

"It will be my pleasure." Kisara smirked.

"That's more like it."
