Enjoy and review! :D

Yugi could only think to go back to the mansion now and tell Mokuba about what happened. He knew he wasn't going to be happy but he had to know the truth, the Kaiba that was locked in his office wasn't the real Kaiba. If he wasn't then where was the real one? Yugi wondered. His mind had yet to make any sense of his situation, but hopefully things would clear up.

As he walked back to the mansion under a thin layer of arctic wind, the trees near the sidewalk rustled abnormally. Yugi glanced to them for a moment before quickening his pace. Soon his paranoia became so strong that he sprinted back to the mansion. Despite the fact that it was just the wind moving around the trees and shrubs.

There was so much to think about and he had learned it all in such a short amount of time. He wished he understood things at a higher standing, he felt so helpless. When he'd been with the imposter Kaiba he'd almost listened to everything he'd said. He almost stayed with him because he didn't know what else to do, he didn't know what was going on and he seemed to be the only one with answers. If that voice hadn't spoken to him he would have stayed, and who knows what would be happening now.

Even though the Kaiba he met wasn't the real Kaiba he felt still drawn to him, was that because he still believed somewhere deep down that it was really Kaiba? He knew it couldn't be, Kaiba would never act like that to him and his eyes were not red. Those signs made it obvious that he was an imposter, but how would no one else notice this? They obviously never questioned the brunette about it. What Yugi wanted to know was where the real Kaiba was, he had to be here and he would know what was going on. If only he could find him.

Yugi was starting to really miss him, he missed his blue eyes so much. Frowning to himself he tried to keep from upsetting himself and instead reassuring himself that Kaiba would show eventually. He just had to give it time, he would eventually find him. Yugi just had to hope that. What if this imposter had done something to the real Kaiba? Yugi really didn't want to think about that but it could be a possibility, and right now he had to keep a very open mind.

Past the gates and inside the courtyard Yugi now slowed to a walk again. Feeling a little safer than he had before. Yugi glanced down to the knife he had yet to touch and hoped he would never have to resort to using it. Even the thought of carrying it around with him bugged him, he couldn't ever kill anything with it. The glowing on it had yet to cease, and he wondered still if it had anything to do with the wolf he had seen in Kaiba's office. Yugi really hoped to never see one of those again.

After walking up the steps onto the veranda, he knocked on the door when in front of it. Waiting only a short moment did the door open and Yugi saw a raven haired boy looking at him. Relief instantly crossed his face.

"Yugi! Your ok!" cried Mokuba happily.

Yugi couldn't help but smile slightly. He may be ok physically but not so much emotionally, he was feeling all sorts of emotions that he barely even knew what to think anymore.

They walked into the mansion and entered the living room. Yugi sat down on the couch he had woken up on earlier and Mokuba sat across from him.

Mokuba frowned slightly. "So you couldn't get him to come back…? Did you at least figure out what was going on with him?"

Yugi nodded. "The Seto I met today, wasn't the real Seto."

"What? That's not possible!" Mokuba cried.

Yugi knew this was going to be very hard to explain to such a younger. "I know it's kind of hard to understand but that wasn't Seto. He had red eyes and his attitude was so cold."

"But… couldn't that just be from staying in his office for so long?" Mokuba asked curiously.

"I really don't think so… the Seto I met today wasn't the same…" Yugi confessed as much as he didn't want to.

Mokuba sighed sorrowfully. "Then where is he? Where's my real brother…?" he questioned softly. More to himself.

Yugi also frowned. "I wish I knew… I'm starting to miss him as much as you do…"

"What do you think happened to him? Do you think he's safe?" Mokuba asked anxiously.

Not wanting to upset Mokuba more with uncertainty, he gave him a reassuring look. "I'm sure he's ok."

Mokuba smiled slightly. "You really think so?"

Yugi nodded. "I'm positive." he may not know where Kaiba was but he had to be safe, this was Kaiba they were talking about. He could handle anything. Yugi had always admired his dedication and determination. Was that something he had fallen in love with?

"Well if you think he's ok then I'm sure he is too! My brother can do anything!" Mokuba stated. A smile returning to his adolescent face.

Yugi was glad that he was able to make Mokuba smile and believe him again. He may not really be sure of himself but he was glad that Mokuba had hope in him. Yugi really hoped that he would find Kaiba soon. He may not know or have any clue where he could be but Yugi was going to set his mind and heart to finding him and bringing him home, it had been much too long. Mokuba missed him and so did he, Yugi would find Kaiba, whatever it took he wouldn't give up.

"The last time you saw him, do you remember if he mentioned any place he was going to go besides KaibaCorp.?" Yugi asked.

Mokuba thought about it for a moment before replying. "No… I barely even remember the last thing he said to me. All I know is that he was really angry when he left, he didn't even glance to me."

Yugi noticed that anger seemed to be a key thing in this. The imposter Kaiba hadn't told him exactly why he was so angry, but to understand what was going on around here, he knew he had to figure out more about him. He had to get him to open up a little bit which was going to be extremely hard to do. Kaiba could never open up to anyone, so getting an imposter to was surely going to be even harder. This imposter had to know exactly what was going on, he had to know where Kaiba was and he had to know about the strange beasts.

Yugi knew that before he went back to him he had to figure a few other things out, like exactly who this imposter was and why he seemed to want a baby so badly. There had to be a reason for it. Yugi remembered when he had gotten pregnant before it just sort of happened, neither one of them had really even thought about having a family even though they had been married for so long. So why was it that this imposter wanted a baby? It wasn't like it was normal for him to have one, so if Yugi did agree, it could take months before he got pregnant, if it even did happen again.

When both boys heard an incredibly loud hissing noise they froze in their seats.

"W-What is that…?" Mokuba asked. He stayed gazing at Yugi with a growing fretful expression.

"I don't know…" Yugi whispered back. He was probably just as scared as Mokuba was right now. That noise wasn't some kind of broken hissing pipe, it almost sounded like…

Mokuba's eyes suddenly widened. "Y-Yugi! B-Behind you!"

Yugi almost didn't want to look, but very slowly he turned his head to gaze at a large black snake. There were glowing markings on it with dark red eyes. Even the strange black mist floated off of it just like the wolf. The snake stayed idly in the foyer for a long moment, it's crimson tongue flicking back and forth. No idea how a creature like that could get inside the mansion, Yugi turned and quickly got up. He then grabbed Mokuba by the wrist and pulled him off of the couch.

"We've got to hide!" Yugi whispered almost franticly. He didn't plan on taking any chances, that snake could swallow the both of them whole. He ran with Mokuba through a door that led to a flight of stairs, quickly going up them and stopping when reaching a room much farther away from the foyer.

Once inside the room, Yugi locked the door even though it wouldn't matter to a snake, and moved near a door on the other side of the room that led to the balcony. Yugi had let go of Mokuba's wrist and now the anxiety and fear of the snake roaming here feasted on him. What was going on with these strange creatures? Why did they seem to be after him? First a wolf now a snake? What did they want out of him?

How had the creature even found him? and how had it gotten into the mansion? Yugi wasn't sure if he even wanted to know those answers, he just wanted to know why they were coming after him.

"Y-Yugi… what's going on?" Mokuba asked shakily.

"I don't know… there was a creature in Kaiba's office that looked like that, but it was a wolf. I don't know how it died though… it just sort of did." Yugi confessed. He had a horrible feeling that he might have to use the knife.

"That snake didn't even look real… it could probably eat the both of us in one bite!" Mokuba shouted fretfully.

Yugi instantly turned to him and held a finger to his lips to shush him.

Mokuba nodded and gave him a look of apology.

After waiting possibly ten minutes inside the room, Yugi didn't feel any better, in fact he felt more afraid. Now the snake could have gotten anywhere, he just hoped that it was gone. Knowing that he couldn't put Mokuba in harm's way he turned to look at him. "I want you to stay here, ok?"

Mokuba's eyes widened. "Your not actually going to go look for it, are you?"

"I have too, we can't spend all day in here." Yugi stated. It was time for him to be brave for once, or pretend to be brave.

As Yugi began walking away Mokuba grabbed onto his arm.

"I'll go with you! I don't want to be left alone!" Mokuba said.

Yugi turned and removed Mokuba's hand from him. "No, you need to stay here. I don't know how dangerous these things are and I don't want to risk you getting hurt." he then continued his way to the door. "You'll be safe here." Yugi remarked before standing in front of the door.

Mokuba moved back to the wall and sat down hidden next to the couch. "Just be careful please… I can't lose you too…"

"I'll be ok. Just stay here." Yugi said as he slowly and quietly exited the room. After shutting the door behind him he started walking back the way they came. He was frightened beyond every fiber, but he pushed on. He knew that he had to be brave, he couldn't depend on Kaiba all the time to keep him safe. Sometimes he had to do things on his own. When Yugi past the door he'd used to get up the stairs he kept his hand close to his side, maybe if he just held up the knife close to the snake it would flee out of fear. That was a slim chance though, something that size couldn't possibly be afraid of Yugi or a knife.

The snake would most likely sense his fear so getting it to be afraid of him would be impossible.

As Yugi walked past the living room and into the foyer he gazed all around for the snake, not seeing any trace that it had even been here. Yugi stepped a little bit more inside the foyer for a better look around, but still there was nothing. How could it just disappear without a trace? Yugi was about to walk up to the second story when he heard a loud terrifying shirk.

Instantly his heart raced as he sprinted as fast as he could back into the living room, and back exactly the way he had came. There was only one other person in the mansion that could have screamed, and he had been trying to protect him! Yugi felt a horrible feeling rush over him, he should have brought Mokuba with him! He just thought he'd be safe there, how could the snake even get past them without him seeing it? That door was the only way to the hallway. They would have seen it.

As soon as Yugi was up the stairs he ran quickly into the room that Mokuba was in. He took the knife from the loop on his belt and readied for anything. He didn't know how he would be able to take down a huge snake, but he had to save Mokuba. He couldn't let him be dragged into this too.
