Here's the next chappie. It's quite creepy but not that scary.

Joey had his back against the wall, literally, and a livid Seto was advancing towards him. Seto grabbed Joey by the neck and was about to give him a good punch, until he felt something wrapping itself around his leg. He looked down and so did Joey, and saw an eerie darkness below him. Whatever it was, it was trying to pull Seto down into it.
"Kaiba, that ain't supposed ta be there, is it?" Joey questioned carefully as Seto lowered his fist, but didn't release him.
Seto, though, just ignored Joey's question. He could hear the voice in his head again, calling to him. With reluctance, he let go of Joey's neck and the darkness disappeared.
"What was that all about?" Tristan asked.
"I don't know, but whatever it was, it wanted to pull Kaiba into it." Yami said.
"I don't like this." Tea said, in a scared, shaky voice.
"Neither do I." Mokuba said running up to his brother. "What was that all about, anyway?"
"I don't know, Mokuba." Seto replied, shaking his head.
"Jeez, remind me not to piss you off. You almost gave me a heart attack!" Joey said.
Seto glared at Joey, "Good."
"There defiantly is something wrong with this house. I don't know what it wants with Kaiba, but we need to get out of here, and fast. Didn't you notice how, when Kaiba let Joey go, the darkness disappeared?" Yami asked.
"So, you're saying that when Kaiba gets angry, like really angry, the darkness will appear?" Tea asked.
Yami nodded, "I think so."
"Joey, step away from Kaiba." Tristan said, urging Joey to move away.
"Wait, what made you let go of me?" Joey asked. Everyone listened in, including Mokuba.
"…An instinct." Seto said as he contemplated how and what to tell them.
"It was instinct dat made you grab me!" Joey said, peeved.
"Don't contradict yourself, Wheeler." Seto replied, equally as angry but trying to control it. He could here the voice in the back of his head, but it wasn't giving him any trouble, at the moment anyway.
"What was it that really made you put Joey down?" Tristan asked.
"I think I know." Yami stated.
"Spill it, Yug!" Joey said.
"Well, I've been sensing a voice, the same one that threatened us, calling out to Kaiba. I think that maybe, he heard it from the black hole that appeared below him, therefore, in order for the voice to go away, he thought he had to let go of Joey. Isn't that right, Kaiba?" Yami stated, surprising everyone, but Seto, in the room.
"Well, if you know so much, then explain to me why it won't go away." Seto stated.
"I haven't figured that out yet. Nor do I know what it is saying to you. Remember I sensed it, not actually heard it." Yami replied.
"Okay. So that's why Seto was acting strangely." Mokuba said looking up at his brother. "What are we going to do?"
"Find a way out of here!" Joey said, confidently.
"We know that one, Wheeler." Seto said, irritated.
"How do we find a way out of here Yugi?" Tea asked.
"We need to work that out tomorrow." Yugi said.
"Why?" Asked Joey.
"Because," Seto said, glancing at the small light coming from the boarded windows "It's obviously getting dark, moron."
"So?"
"We can't work in the dark, Joey!" Mokuba said.
Hmmm, there are lights in this manor. There might be a generator in the basement. If I could just get to it, maybe some of the bulbs might work. Seto thought to himself, staring at the small light coming in. With all that has happened though, he'd prefer not to leave Mokuba alone for too long.
'…Is it that, or, is it your safety…?"
It's Mokuba's safety…
'…Are you sure…?'
Positive…
'…Really…?'
Yes…
'…Now you're just lying to yourself…'
Get out of my head… Seto who had forced his eyes to stay open, was forced to shut his eyes and kneel on the ground…
'…You know I'm right…'
Yeah, well you're not…'…Don't you, Seto…?'
Get out…
'…Are you…afraid…?'
Get out…now…'…Seto…'
Out now…'…Ssssetooo…'
Now…'…Seto…you're loosing your composure…'
Get out…of my head…now…!'…You know…fighting me will…make you tired…'
Seto could sense the voices of Mokuba and the others calling out to him. But, the voice somehow, shut them out.
'…Sssetooo…'
'…Ssssetooo…'
Seto could feel someone shaking him, lightly. Obviously not enough to get out of the trance like state.
'…Seto…Seto…Seto…'
Then, he felt himself shake violently. He opened his eyes to see himself staring up into Joeys. He sighed, he had a cold sweat, and he was a little shaky. Now, it was almost dark. That feeling though, was like someone in his mind. Partly controlling him, or, getting something it wants. What did it want, though? There was nothing he could give this being, was there? If there was, what was it? Many questions began to flow into his mind like a river, and they kept nagging him to find answers. What was he going to do about all this? He looked around and he saw the Geek Squad, plus Mokuba standing around him.
"Man, you really had us worried dare." Joey said, sitting down on the ground. "What happened?"
"…I don't feel like talking right now…" Seto said getting up and going back into the lounge room and sitting down, Mokuba following. They'd better not pester me about this… he thought.
Joey was about to go after him when Yami came over.
"Don't push him, Joey."
"But, we really need ta know what's goin on wit dat guy." Joey said, defending himself as they all walked back into the lounge room.
"We need to know a lot of things, Joey. For example, getting out of here." Tristan stated.
"Look, we don't need you two fighting over nothing, again. Just get over yourselves!" Tea said, surprising the two.
"Why don't you all just shut up?" Seto asked holding his head in his hand. Obviously, he had a headache. Then they heard a screeching noise. Not the sound of tires, more the sound of something, drastically evil. Seto thought about the noise for a moment. "We need to get a fire going."
"Why?" Joey said, resisting the urge to taunt him.
"Because one, that sound didn't sound friendly and god help us if it's a carnivore. If we light a fire, then we can see what we're up against. Two, how are we going to keep ourselves warm enough so that we don't get Pneumonia?" Seto stated.
"Point taken, Rich Boy." Joey replied. "But one question though; how do we get a fire going?"
"You burn something."
"I knew that. What I mean is, where do we get the stuff to, and how do we light it?"
"The wooden boards over there, providing there're the right size, could be good Tinder." Seto said, motioning to the old staircase that Joey had collapsed earlier.
"Okay, umm, what's Tinder??" Joey asked. Everyone stared at Joey.
"You moron. The wood over there." Seto said coldly.
"…?"
"The thing you light to start a fire, idiot"
"Okay so, how would we light it?"
"…You figure it out. I'm not your personal servant!" Set said leaning back in his chair. "And you might want to find some water."
"Water, why?" Tea asked.
"Because, we can only live around three days, tops, without it." Seto stated.
"Thank you very much for putting that in my head, Kaiba!" Tristan said.
"What about da food???" Joey asked, a sad look on his face.
"We can survive longer without food than without water. Go and get the Tinder, while I figure out how to light it." Seto said, still hold his head in his hand.
"Why is da food always gone?!?" Joey said. Seto muttered an insult under his breathe that no one could hear
"We'll go and try to water." Tea said, motioning to Yami who had just changed back into little Yugi. Seto just nodded in acceptance.
"What was that noise earlier, Seto?" Mokuba asked.
"I don't know. But I think it's going to get worse as night progresses." Seto said. Mokuba clutched Seto's hand tightly afraid of what was going to happen during the night.
We're loosing daylight, and fast. We'd better hurry up, but what to use as flint…? Seto asked himself. He sighed as he felt Mokuba shivering. It's getting cold, or is he scared?
"Mokuba, what's wrong with you?" Seto asked looking at his brother.
"W-what's th-that?" Mokuba asked in a scared voice whilst pointing in an east direction. Seto knew that he wasn't joking around. He glanced over to where he was pointing.
"Shit…"
Well that's that. Wonder what the creature is? It's going to get darker in the next Chapter, trust me. I really feel sorry for the Kaiba brothers' at the moment. Okay, Bye!!
