Chapter 5

Kagome sighed yet again, but laughed. Her little group of teens were amusing. Tristan and Joey were always getting into some kind of trouble or arguing over the littlest things. At the moment it was weather they should go left or right on the forked path.

It had only been an hour after her battle with Mako and she had held an interesting conversation with Tea and Yugi about what school and city they lived in. Surprisingly they didn't live to far away from each other. Domino city was right next to Tokyo and was almost just as popular, if only a little more settled down.

All three of them had jumped when Joey and Tristan started yelling at each other. Kagome smirked, grabbed a coin from her pocket and flicked it at Joey's head.

"Ah! What gives?" he yelled holding his stinging head. Kagome just shook her head.

"Use the coin. Heads we go left, tails we go right." she suggested. The boys looked at each other and the n the coin before shrugging and tossing it up. Tristan caught it and tapped it on the back of his hand. Heads.

"Left it is then" said Yugi "good thinking" he whispered to her as they continued on the path left pathway. Kagome winked at him. "Thanks."

"I wonder who we're going to face next?" said Tea. "The sooner we get those star chips the sooner we get into the castle and save Yugi's gramps"

"And my sister" said Joey. Kagome smiled sadly for both of them.

"I may not have know you guy's long, but I will definitely help" I said, earning me a smile from Yugi and Joey.

"Thanks Kagome, and we will help you get your lost memories if we can. I'm glad you decided to join our little group in this tournament" said Yugi, looking back at the miko.

"Thanks. I am actually glad I'm here too." I replied. "At first I didn't because of Sesshy, my guardian, but I am actually enjoying myself." I smiled then turned to look straight ahead at the road. I didn't think I should tell them about me seeing spirits, or the fact that I could tell something was up with Yugi's puzzle. I hoped that they would notice on their own, and hopefully when the time came to tell them they didn't think I was freaky.

I was startled from my mussing by a child's voice crying out for help. Tristan and I ran, faster than the others, and found a kid being held in a head lock. The guard holding him, most likely one of Pegasus's goon's, dragging the kid to a boat.

"Hey let the kid go!" yelled Tristan as he charged the big guy. Apparently he had startled him enough for him to grapple throw him to the ground, though he never hit the ground the way he had intended.

The big guy was actually quite fast and agile, a scary thought to think of. He flipped, landed on his feet and kicked Tristan to the ground. He went back to the kid and picked him back up in a strangle hold as Tristan double over on the ground.

"Put me down!" protested the kid.

"Quit squirming ya little runt" instantly I recognized his voice. Kimo, he was one of Pegasus's dirty job guards. His favorite to do dirty jobs because he was so good at it. I was convinced he used to be a prison guard. Or an ex prisoner himself. The ones that go for serial killing.

Normal Pov

You heard him ya needle head, put the kid down!" said Joey.

"What do you think you're doing?" asked Yugi. The guy turned his head to them slightly,

"That's none of your business. This duelist lost his star chips" he replied and turned to fully face them with the skid still in his vice grip. "And the rules say he's to be kicked off the island."

"But I didn't loose my chips in a duel!" yelled the Kid. "They were stolen, along with my duel deck."

"I don't care what lame excuse you have kid. You need star chips to duel and you haven't got any. You're being shipped out. These are my orders form Pegasus himself" the guy turned and hurried on his way while Kagome helped Tristan off the ground.

"Lets follow him" Kagome suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement and ran after the large goon.

When they finally got their eyes on them, the kid was sitting in a boat with three others, including our good friend Weevil Underwood. Kimo now had two other guards with him when we reached the small dock.

"Hey!" yelled out Yugi. When he reached them, they all stopped behind him to catch thier breath. "What did the guy who stole your star chips look like?"

"Well, I couldn't see his face. I-it was covered with a bandanna. But he was a little guy and he challenged me in the meadow" he replied.

"He challenged you to a duel monsters game?" asked Kagome a little puzzled.

"Ya, but as soon as I put my deck and star chips down, he snatched them and ran off with them" he said now looking at Kagome.

"You shouldn't be shipped off the island for that" replied Yugi strongly. "We'll get your star chips back".

Kimo stepped forward and in front of their line of vision with his arms crossed over his chest.

"This boat leaves in exactly thirty minuets. Anyone without a star chip ships out." He said.

"We will have the star ships back by that time" said Tea.

"We'll catch that thief and bring him to justice" said Joey. "Believe me kid, you can count on us to track him down and get cha star chips back".

"But, who are you guys?" the kid asked.

"We are the guy's who're gonna save your chips" he replied smugly. "Don't worry, ya got the ba-ri-liant mind of Joey Wheeler on the case and I always get my man." Everyone sweat dropped "even if he is just a kid."

"He's just kidding right?" whispered Kagome in Yugi's ear. He felt the presence from himself stir slightly at her close proximity. Lately he had been feeling the presence more and more. Especially when Kagome was really close or he was dueling. It was like someone else's strength was aiding him.

"Ya, he does that a lot. He hardly has any grades over a B" he whispered back and she giggled. Again, that other presence stirred. Weird.

This time no one, not even Kagome saw the shadow for the briefest of seconds.

"On ward troops!" said Joey and they walked away to find their chip thief.

~^,..,^~

Not to far away they came across a dueling stage not currently being used.

"So, what is your bariliant mind telling you now Sherlock?" said Tristan teasingly.

"Ugh, beats me" said Joey, rubbing his head. "right now my brilliant mind is giving me a brilliant head ache!"

"Maybe we should stake out were the crime happened" said Yugi. " I think this is it" he ran up before plopping down on the ground, leaning back leaning back on his arms.

"Think the thief will come back?" asked Kagome a little disbelievingly.

"He just might" he replied. "And we can put our heads together and plan in the meantime."

"Kay, but don't forget one of those heads is Joey's" said Tristan as they all walked up to the sitting duelist. "That's sorta like subtracting one brain."

"Hey!" complained Joey. Kagome laughed and sat down before completely laying down next to Yugi and looking up at the sky.

"Ah-ha! I knew I'd get you here" yelled a young voice as a figure jumped out form the bush's, startling the young miko straight to her feet. "I've finally found you Yugi." Everyone else quickly got to their feet.

"That must be the kid we're looking for!" exclaimed Joey.

"I can take him!" said Tristan raising his fists and stepping forward slightly.

"I would hope so, you're twice his size!" said Kagome, still looking at the bandanna that covered their new quests face. His voice seemed somewhat familiar.

"Just try me you big dork!" yelled the new comer.

"Hey, watch it kid" he retorted.

"And hand over the star ships you stole from the other kid" added Joey, putting himself in tough guy mode with Tristan.

"Hold on guy's. I think he wants to duel" said Kagome, her words halting their progress.

"That's what you want right? You want to duel me?" Yugi asked. He growled low under his breath.

"You better believe it" he replied and the two got onto the platform to duel. Tea noticed the frown on Kagome's face.

"What's the matter Kagome?" she asked.

"Well, the kids voice sounds familiar, but I can't place it at the moment" she replied, earning a concerned look from the other girl.

"Why does he even have to duel? Lets just take the chips from the kid." said Joey and he shrugged. "Problem solved."

"I don't even think Yugi knows why he does the half the stuff he does" replied Tristan.

"Ya, it's kinda weird. Do you think it has anything to do with his millennium Puzzle?" Kagome's head turned to Joey slightly at his statement. So they had seen things and were suspicious of the millennium item. Her new friend must not have been the same before he obtained it. Could it be the influence from the spirit she had been seeing and feeling before?

Again she felt the deep, old magic of the puzzle activate and Yugi seemed to be replaced by the spirit. Now she was sure she had felt this aura before. Not just recently but like in a long lost memory.

Kagome thought about what Sesshomaru said to her about her memories. Was this what he was talking about? She remembered and thought back to her dream of the scorching sand and the boy with the tan skin. Again, she couldn't see his face.

"Now how many star chips will you wager?" said the slightly deeper and calmer voice of the spirit in Yugi. The thief seamed a little taken aback by the slight change in demeanor.

"To wipe you out, five!" he yelled back. Now something seemed very familiar about the boy to Kagome. The attitude was way too familiar.

"Then five it is. But only because I think I know why your doing this." He said in a calm and knowing voice.

"What do you mean?" asked Kagome, purposely not calling him who he wasn't. He looked down and into her eyes. Her bracelets glowed for a second and somehow she knew what he was thinking and feeling. He nodded, as if he could understand what she was feeling just by looking into her eyes, and looked back towards the thief.

"I don't care what you think, Yugi. Cause I think your going to loose!" he stated and threw the star chips on his card platform. Kagome saw the millennium eye faintly glow on Yugi's brow for a second before it disappeared.

"What does Yugi see that we don't?" asked Tea quietly. "Its like he can look into the other players soul." Kagome had to agree because somehow she knew he had done it to her, only he let her into his soul for the briefest of seconds or her bracelets were taking in the power she was feeling and using it as its own, allowing her into his.

"Eh, soul shmol. I can see form here that 'de kid's gonna get his ass kicked" said Joey.

"That may be, but Yugi should hurry if he plans to get those chips back before the boat leaves" said Tristan.

"Don't worry. Yugi will get the chips and we'll be back in time before the boat leaves the dock" said Tea. Kagome nodded in agreement.

"Let's duel!" yelled the thief and 'Yugi' at the same time. All of a sudden it was like she was watching a movie in her head. She was seeing the playing field but her mind was in space. A memory.

'This is it Yugi. You're gonna pay for what you did to my big brother' said the voice of the thief in her head.

It was like she was looking into his memoires. How?

(memory flash, Kagome in thief's memories)

"Seto, you've gotta leave now if you're gonna make it to the boat for the big tournament at duelist kingdom!" said a younger voice of the thief.

A door opened inform of her and a teenager about a year or two older sat at a desk looking though some duel monsters cards. His hair was light brown and fell around his dark blue eyes and just above his ears His skin was slightly tan and he wore a blue trench like coat over top of a black button up collar shirt.

'Seto Kaiba! If he was in this memory than meant… Mokuba!'

"I'm not going to the tournament, Mokuba" he replied in his usual deep voice. Only it didn't hold the coldness she remembered form their last meeting. He sounded a bit confused and conflicted.

"Not going? Why?" asked Mokuba. Seto suddenly threw his cards on the desk, scattering them on the desk. His face held so many emotions but the most prominent was inner confusion. Kagome had never seen him like this, and apparently neither had Mokuba.

"What's the point" he said

"Seto, what do you mean no point?"

"I'm in no condition to duel anyone" he said, closing his eyes as his voice shook lightly for a second.

"You always say cards are power, and you've got all the strongest cards!" protested Mokuba as he stepped into the room from behind the door.

"Ever since I lost my duel with Yugi, I just don't know what I think anymore" confessed Seto, his face and eyes almost completely giving away his conflicted feelings. "Every thing's different, it feels as if I lost a piece of myself that day."

"But Seto, you're the best! You're the champ"

"Not since I was defeated by Yugi" he said quietly. He tossed a card expertly at his little brother. "Here Mokuba, I'm going away for a little while. I don't know how long I'll be gone. Keep this, it was always your favorite." Seto stood up and closed his briefcase.

"Why? Why are you leaving?" Seto stepped away from the desk and faced his brother, before walking to the door.

"Because I don't know who I am anymore" he replied. "Take care kid."

"Seto don't go!" cried Mokuba as he tried to stop his brother from leaving. His brother was already gone.

'You broke up my family Yugi' said the older voice of Mokuba. Again his voice was in her head. "And now I'm gonna break you up'. The vision disappeared and she could focus on the field in front of her again. She had only been in the memory for a brief second.

"I play Man eating Plant!" said Mokuba as he placed the card in attack mode.

"My turn," said 'Yugi' "And I'll counter your attack with Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress." He placed the blue dragon on the field, also in attack mode.

"Bad move Yugi, my man eating plant will eat your dragon alive" said Mokuba. His face still covered. "Now you're finally gonna pay for what you did Yugi, and your stupid dragon's gonna be plant food. Man Eating Plant, attack!"

"Fireball Attack!" cried 'Yugi'. The dragon blasted a fire ball and the plant monster was destroyed instantly.

"Huh? My monster lost?" his life points fell 600 to 1400.

"You can't win a duel with cards that don't right fully belong to you" said Yugi. "How could your heart ever live in cards that belong to someone else?"

"Be quiet. I don't believe in that 'Heart of the cards' crap you keep preaching about. Cards have nothing to do with heart, its all about power." He replied.

"Yes, I can see it now" said 'Yugi', closing his eyes for a second and the glowing eye shined on his forehead for a second, before looking back up, glancing at Kagome's knowing and face, though it showed worry. She figured it out as well "I sensed a connection to Kaiba. You're his brother, you're Mokuba!"

"How did you know?" he asked, taking off the bandanna. "Well it doesn't matter."

"Oh Mokuba," sighed Kagome and shook her head lightly. "So much like your brother."

"It is Kaiba's little brother!" exclaimed Tea then saw Kagome's expression from the corner of her eye. "Did you already know Kagome?" she asked

"Not till a few minuets ago" she replied. "What is he doing here?"

"That's right, Seto Kaiba is my older brother" said the young Kaiba as he took off the beanie too reveal messy long black hair. "And he's the best duelist there ever was." He threw the hat away and finally noticed a certain occupant watching the duel. "Kagome! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here dueling, what are you doing here Mokuba? Shouldn't you be with Seto?" she questioned, concerned for the young boy.

"Thanks to Yugi he's gone! Thanks to Yugi Pegasus is trying to take over Kaiba corp." he said shuddering and closing his eyes. Kagome felt a flash of anger at his words.

"Pegasus wants Kaiba corp.!" exclaimed Yugi in surprise.

"I don't know what you did to my big brother when you dueled, but ever since that defeat he hasn't been the same." He closed his eyes again.

"What happened Mokuba" demanded Kagome, trying to stifle her anger. Damn that English bastard. Another company take-over? Hadn't he learned his lesson with Sesshomaru?

"Seto ran away cause of you!" he yelled pointing at Yugi. "And now with him gone, Pegasus moved right in. Some Kaiba corp. executives invited him for a secret board meeting" and he told them how they wanted him to take over and deal with "messy details" when he overheard them. They needed the older Kaiba out of the picture permanently, along with Mokuba. No heir means free pickings. They wanted him kidnapped and Seto was supposed to meet an 'accident' of some kind.

And Yugi pissed off some powerful people when he defeated the older Kaiba. They wanted him gone also and apparently Pegasus already had plans for his demise. Mokuba had almost gotten away, but it seemed that Pegasus already knew he was there and had his guard grab him, forcefully 'inviting' him as a guest at him castle.

"It's all your fault! Seto deserted me cause of you" he yelled at Yugi, his eyes a little watery.

"You don't understand" said Yugi kindly. "Mokuba your brother hasn't deserted you, he's searching for himself." Kagome became curious and slightly wary as to what he had done to the older Kaiba, but trusted him that it wasn't as bad as Mokuba was making it out to be.

"Liar, tell that to my monster, Crocedialiss!" yelled Mokuba and threw the card onto the field. "Attack!"

The creature was quickly destroyed by another fireball, dropping Mokuba's life points to 1100.

"Battling him won't bring your brother back!" yelled Kagome. "We want to stop Pegasus as much as you do. He's taken Yugi's grandfather prisoner and now I have personal business with that bastard."

"Can't you see, ya little twerp?" said Joey. "Pegasus is the bad guy here, not Yugi"

"You're wrong. I have to protect my brothers company and Yugi's the one Pegasus has to beat in order to take it over!" yelled Mokuba glaring at Joey. Yugi blinked; a bit shocked that he was the one that was keeping Pegasus from taking over.

"Wait I get it" said Tea. "Mokuba is trying to save his brothers company by defeating Yugi in a duel so Yugi doesn't get to face Pegasus at all!"

"What do you mean?" asked Tristan, a bit confused as to what was going on.

"If Mokuba can keep Pegasus from beating Yugi, then he won't be able to take over Kaiba corp." explained Kagome.

"Ah, that must be it" said Yugi, everyone turned to Mokuba, only to find his body missing from his stand.

"If I can't beat you" said Mokuba, suddenly on Yugi's stand. "Then I'll have you disqualified!" and he took two of the five star chips and jumped down and took off. Kagome was hot on his heals and quickly passes him to stand inform of him, stopping his get away.

"Mokuba, listen to him. You know you'll never be able to save Kaiba Corporation like this" said Kagome calmly and sweetly. He looked up at her, before looking to Yugi on the stand.

"Your big brother is just confused." said Yugi in a calm and kind voice. "After I defeated Kaiba in out duel, I opened his mind. I removed all the dark influences that had clouded his thoughts and actions." Mokuba looked like he wanted to believe him. "Free from that evil essence, Kaiba is struggling. Now he realizes that his way wasn't the right way and he's searching his heart for answers. And you know what you're doing isn't the right way either."

Mokuba's face pinched in confusion as his fist clenched around the star ships. He finally looked defeated and looked up at 'Yugi'.

"But, what do I do?" he asked, almost to himself.

"You can start by trusting in him and his friends, Mokuba." said Kagome and he turned towards her. "They don't seem like the kind of people to hurt you." She placed a hand on his shoulder in comfort. "You know you can trust me Mokuba."

"We will help you defeat Pegasus" said 'Yugi, determination and trust written all over him and seemed to flow off of him to Mokuba. "I promise you, we will help you protect your brother, Mokuba, but you have to help us, okay?"

"Which means you need to return those cards and star ships to the kid you stole them from" said Kagome. Mokuba looked to the ground, sorry.

"You're right. Then we'll take on Pegasus!"

"We've got to hurry. The boat leaves in three minuets!" said Tea.

"Let's get going"

So, how was this rewritten chapter? Let me know! Review, review, review! They make my world go round.
