Chapter 5: The invitation

The pain finally seized and Mokuba was finally able to open his eyes. Hard cold rock stared back at him, but warm soft blankets enveloped his body. 'Where am I,' thought Mokuba as he lifted himself up. The room was completely made of stone a window was opened it's curtains flurted in the wind, soft red carpet spread all over the floor. It looked like the inside of a castle. Mokuba pulled his feet for out of the bed and firmly placed them on the plushy carpet.

He felt so strange like someone had placed a hat on his head and a few rocks in his pants. '… Wait a minuet,' realized Mokuba as he looked down. His pants were gone and so was his shirt leaving him with only his boxers. ' WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES!' thought Mokuba in a panic as he tried to cover himself. Something soft and fuzzy brushed against Mokuba's bare ankle, so he looked down. Swaying back and forth was a furry black tail, trailing up through a hole in his boxers to the end of his spine. Mokuba was caught up in such shock that his scream never reached his lips, ringing throughout his head as he as ran to the only mirror the room.

There on top of his head was a pair of black cat like ears, his nail were black claws made for catching prey, they were even on his feet, and little fangs hung over his lips but only so much.

"What happened to me?" whimpered Mokuba.

"Why'd the tail, ears, and claws stay with him after he turned back into his human-self?"

Mokuba's head wiped around to the door. Someone was just outside of the door, and by the sounds of it, it was mostly likely Pegusus. Mokuba quietly crept over to the door pressing his cat like ear against the hard wooden surface.

"It's just the way the spell works. Gives him something to think about while he's in his human state," said the man from before. "He can control when them to a minor degree, so they disappear when he wants, however when he's about to transform into a kitty again they'll act as warning signals and automatically pop up without his control."

Mokuba lifted his tail and held it lightly in his hand. He wanted to go away and then right on que the tail began to shrink back until it was completely gone, the nails on his hands and feet flattened out and returned to it's usual peach tone color rounding off, the fangs shrunk back, and his ears returned to there usual small shape.

"So he'll transform into that kitten again? EXCELLENT! He looked adorable that way," exclaimed Pegusus in joy.

"Don't forget…" interrupted Zell in a cold tone.

"Yes, I know… I've already sent out an invitation to this Kelly Kimoto inviting her to Duelist Kingdom. It should be arriving to her soon," replied Pegusus.

"Good."

"You said you placed a spell on this Kelly. I'm curious as to what spell it is?"

"That is none of your concern. So long as my princess arrives here to Duelist Kingdom you shouldn't careless. With her here, along with Mokuba, Kaiba is bound to follow. Think of that as a bonus for you."

"I see your point. I wouldn't worry though, I'll make sure she comes," finished Pegusus as he and Zell walked away far form Mokuba's hearing range.

"They're trying to trap Kelly!" cried Mokuba in horror.

Elsewhere

Kelly was once again in the strange frozen landscape. The urge to run was intense, so much that it filled her every being to the core. But why did she want to run so much, seems like silly thing to do, a little pointless. The urge seized her again this time stronger than before, as if her life depended on it. This barely budged her foot.

"Why?" she said to herself out loud.

The urge seemed now to go off and consume her. A strong voice in her head went off saying 'if you don't now you will die!' setting Kelly's feet into motion into a strong steady run. Her limbs ached and burn like when she had arrived in Yu-Gi-Oh world, the feeling of the knife doodling on her made her want to scream. Something was hurting her something inside of her. Still she kept running unable to quench her thirst for running despite how many steps she took or how far she went.

"You will not escape me," rung a strong firm voice, chilling Kelly to the bone.

Slowly she opened her eyes.

Kelly's P.O.V

My fever had gone down a great deal when I had woke up, however my muscles ache as if my running dream had really occurred in really live. Luckily it hadn't that to me was creepy and I could still feel that small urge to run, but it wasn't that strong.

I slipped out of my bed and let the cool morning air refresh me as the cold prickled my skin. It was like yesterday's incident was a bad dream, but I knew better. I could still taste the metallic blood in my mouth even though I knew it wasn't there anymore.

I rummaged through the bags of shopping for something to wear that day. Finally I found one to my satisfaction and changed into it. It was baggy black jeans, with a semi tight sleeveless ice blue shirt, a sleeveless black trench coat, and finally I add black belts around my arms and a silver necklace. I French braided my black hair as best I could and then head for the kitchen.

I know what your thinking. Yeah I know I should be sick of jeweler by now, especially after the last incident with it. But I liked it and it's not like I don't know where that went… Oh wait I know, IT'S UNDER MY SKIN! Well if nothing else at least this is safe to have and if it tries anything I can sue the company that made it.

The maids were busy cleaning the mansion. I'd probably pass by without noticing them if one hadn't stopped me while I was on my way down to the kitchen.

"Ms. Kimoto," called one of the maids as she came up to me.

"Yes?" I asked curiously. I hate being called miss, so what if I can't hook up with a guy.

"Master Kaiba is out and he would like it if you helped watched over Master Mokuba while he was out."

"Oh… Sure no problem. So where is Mokuba?" I asked.

"I believe he's at Kaiba Corp."

"Oh Okay, thanks."

I continued towards the kitchen and went inside. The chef was really nice and fixed me some French toast. It was really good as I ate it up the meal happily.

"Ms. Kimoto?"

I looked up to see the butler with a tray in his hand with a small package on top of it held the tray out to me. I looked warily at the package as I slowly picked it up.

"You have a package, miss," said the butler politely handing the box over.

"Thank you," I replied politely.

I wish I we're rich so I could have a butler wait on me and have maids clean my room. This is why everyone hates the rich. The rich can act snobbishly and get away with it. It's not fair I tell you. Look at Michael Jackson! Famous rich dude got away with molesting a child, or was it rape? I can't remember something like that though.

I starred at the return address on the box. There was one, thank heavens! I have someone to sue if it turns out like last time. It read Industrial Illusions Corp. on the return address… Wait a minuet… Wasn't that Pegusus's company, what'd he want with me? Reassured somewhat I easily opened the package most fear and doubt gone. Inside were a dueling gauntlet, two star chips, and a little stack of cards. Dread instantly filled me as I picked up the cards.

Seto asked me to watch over Mokuba while he was out! Pegusus's kidnaps Mokuba during the Duelist Kingdom series! SETO'S GOING TO BLAME ME FOR NOT WATCHING HIM! I'M IN TROUBLE! I'VE GOT TO GET MOKUBA! I looked down on the cards. It still left the question of what the keeper of the millennium eye wanted with me? I didn't have anything he would want or could use, and I've never met the guy. In fact how did he know I existed I hadn't been in this world that long, and I never entered a tournament not even in my own world. Too scared I guess you could say. Question riddled the back of my mind as I finished gobbling up the remainder of my food and looked at the cards. 'The boat going to Duelist Kingdom was leaving tonight! Nice warning huh…' I thought as I ran up the stairs skipping steps as I went by. I ran into my room. I dumped out most of the contents into the bed I place my tin of cards back into it with my cell and CD player and money and other need items. Once I finished I ran back down stairs and got some canned food for the trip.

"Ms. Kimoto is something wrong?" asked a maid.

"Mokuba's been kidnapped! I have to go get him at Duelist Kingdom!"

"What? WHEN?"

"Apparently while Mokuba was at Kaiba Corp! They want me to go to Duelist Kingdom to go get him! Tell Seto when he comes back I'm going after Mokuba and not to worry. I promise to bring him back no matter what! Don't let anyone in this house unless it's Seto, Mokuba, or me, okay?" I ordered.

"Okay, be careful alright," replied the maid nervously.

"Right," I answered as I walked out the doors and into the limo. "After all… I've got no choice but to follow Mokuba."
