A/N: This chapter is short because of the way I had to separate this chapter and the one before it. Hope you enjoy!

Kisara followed Seto out of the building. She wanted to talk to him, but thought it would be better to wait until they were somewhere that they wouldn't be over heard. Seto went to a near-by hotel and got them to two best rooms. Once there, Kisara went to Seto's room to take the opportunity to talk to him.

"Kisara?" Seto said questioningly.

"Seto, what's going on?" she demeaned.

"We're getting help, Kisara. There's only one way to stop these people who are after you. I've seen groups like them before. This time, I'm going to be able to stop them," he said.

"But I don't understand what's happening. What was she talking about before? Whatever is going on with the Millennium Items or whatever they are, what do they have to do with you? What are you doing?"

Seto sighed. "Its... sort of complicated..." he said.

"I've got all night for you to explain," Kisara said sitting down in a chair, looking at him expectantly.

"I don't really understand it fully myself," he said. Seto took a seat across from her on the bed. He closed his eyes in thought for a moment. "The Millennium Items are these seven items that were created during ancient Egypt. These items held powers that involved spirit monsters and shadow games. In ancient times, each of these items was held by the Pharaoh and his six Priests. Each of the last holders of the Millennium Items seems to have a modern-day counter part. Are you following me so far?"

"I think so," Kisara replied.

"Do you actually believe me?" Seto asked.

Kisara laughed. "Call me crazy, but yes. Strangely enough this all actually seems to make sense, more or less."

"Okay. So, it is the power that the Millennium Items hold that can help us with these bad guys we're dealing with. Unfortunately, those powers have been sealed away by the Pharaoh and his modern-day counter part. Now, according to Ishizu, the powers of a Millennium Item can be restored if one of the modern-day counter parts under goes a ritual and is willing to take on his or her past self. That's what I'll be doing," Seto said.

"Wait, what? But then that would make you..."

"Yes," Seto said. "I am the modern-day counter part to one of the Pharaoh's priests. Ishizu, the woman I spoke to earlier, is one as well, and Yugi Moto is the Pharaoh's counter part."

"Wow..." Kisara said. "You seem to be accepting all of this pretty calmly."

"I didn't always. But as you said, strangely enough, things seem to make more sense when you do believe it. Then again, it makes everything infinitely more frustrating."

"You don't seem worried about this ritual either," Kisara said.

"Maybe it hasn't sunk it yet," Seto said.

"So why did you decide to do it?" Kisara asked.

"I think I made that clear while I was talking to Ishizu."

"Yeah," Kisara replied. After several minutes of silence, Kisara sighed and stood up.
"I guess I should be going to my own room now."

"All right," Seto said.

"Thank you for doing this, Seto," Kisara said looking him straight in the eyes, her sincerity showing in her gaze. Then she quickly turned around and exited the room.

Seto stared after where she had been for several seconds before he stood. He walked over to the mirror and stared at his reflection. I must be insane for doing this, he thought. Why was he doing this? The second the thought crossed his mind, it was followed by a series of images, reminders. He imagined Kisara, smiling the way she did when they talked in school. Then he remembered the image of their past lives; he remembered her dead in his arms, and he hadn't been able to save her. He closed his eyes and shook his head, as if that would some how rid it of those images. That's why he didn't seem worried. That's why he decided to do this. He couldn't' let that past happen again. There was only one reason Seto was going to do this. Because he knew it was worth it.
