------------------------------

The next morning Kisara woke up early. She sat in bed, looking out the window. Everything was changing so quickly, and it all seemed so impossible. Kisara knew that if she were to try and pass off all she had learned as true to any normal person she'd probably end up in a psyche ward undergoing therapy.

Kisara questioned herself. Was she insane for believing all of this? She couldn't tell; after all, the insane rarely realize that they are in fact insane. Or perhaps it was all just a dream? Either way... after her parent's murders it had left her very confused. She had wanted two things; answers, and protection from whoever was after her.

Seto Kaiba had offered her both. More than that, she now found herself in a world many young girls dreamed of finding. Where magic was real and she herself had some sort of power. Where there was a hero to protect her and have the world make sense. Who was she to say whether or not it was possible for any of that to exist? Kisara knew one thing; she certainly wasn't going to walk away from something like that.

--------------------------------

Early that afternoon, Seto and Kisara were back where they had been yesterday.

"Welcome back," Ishizu said.

Seto nodded and walked in, followed by Kisara. "Is everything all set?" Seto asked.

"Yes," Ishizu said. "The item was retrieved and everything is in place. Now if you'll follow me..." She turned around and began leading the two away.

They finally arrived in front of a door, at the end of a long, hidden hallway. Ishizu turned around. "Are you sure you want to do this, Kaiba?" she asked.

"You don't have to do this, Seto," Kisara said, speaking for the first time since they left the hotel. Seto turned around to face her, surprised. She was looking straight at him; he could see the uncertainty in her eyes. He could see that she was worried, afraid even.

Yes, I do, he thought. He looked back at her, hoping to reassure her that it would be okay, but not knowing how to say it. He turned back to Ishizu.

"I'm sure," he said.

Ishizu nodded. "Very well." She turned back around and opened the door, leading the way into the room.

Fifteen minutes later, Kisara stood in the room and all. Fifteen minutes and it was all over. To her it had felt like much longer. Seto stood in front of her, and finally turned her way for the first time since they entered the room. He looked different, most notably his eyes. They looked more defined, but their color seemed one shade duller. Those weren't Seto Kaiba's eyes, but they seemed so familiar.

His gaze fell on her almost immediately. "Kisara," he said softly, walking towards her. "You're alive"

Kisara's eyes widened in confusion. What was going on? "Of course I am. Which Seto are you?" Kisara asked for clarification, though she had a feeling she knew what the answer would be.

A grin flashed across Seto's face. "I'm the Seto who was alive over 3,000 years ago. Though you can call me Seth for the sake of simplicity. I suppose it'll get confusing if we both use the same name."

Seto had failed to mention that his Egyptian counter part would be taking over his body. "But then, where's Seto?"

Seth looked confused. "What do you mean? Seto's here," he said.

"But if you're in his body, where is he?" Kisara asked.

"Ah. He failed to explain that little detail, didn't he?" Seth said.

"What?" Kisara asked, feeling slightly panicked.

"Don't worry," Seth said.

"Where's Seto?" Kisara asked again.

"He's here," Seth told her, realizing that she didn't understand what was going on.

"No, he's not. You're here. Seto just said he was getting help, he didn't say you were going to take over his body!"

"Kisara-" Ishizu said, trying to help explain what had happened.

"Why did you let him do this?" Kisara asked.

"Kisara, just let us explain," Ishizu reasoned.

"I don't want to listen to you. I was quiet and went along with everything, but for what? I want Seto back." Kisara said.

"He's right here, Kisara," Seth said. "There's just something you don't understand."

"You're right," Kisara said, her voice shaking slightly. "What I don't understand is why I'm talking to you right now and not my Seto."

"Please, let us explain," Ishizu said, trying to get Kisara's attention. Ishizu didn't know how to calm Kisara down. The girl was obviously in a fragile state. People were after her, and had just killed her parents because of it.

Kisara looked at Ishizu. She didn't know what to say. Kisara could tell her panic and anger were fading, but fear and sadness were fast replacing them.

Kisara felt a hand on her shoulder and spun back around to see Seto. She looked into his eyes; they were back to normal. He was Seto Kaiba again.

"It's okay, Kisara," he said.

Kisara felt like she might faint with relief. Before she could think about what she was doing, she wrapped her arms around him and held him closely. "Don't ever scare me like that again," she told him.

"I won't," he promised.

Kisara released Seto, seeming not to notice how close they had just been. She took a step back and looked him in the eyes.

"Seto, what's going on?" she asked. "How is it that... Seth was in control of your body, but now you are again?"

"We share a body, Kisara. We can switch between who controls it." he explained.

Kisara blinked. "How is that possible?"

Seto pulled out the Millennium Rod from the belt loop on his hip, where Seth had placed it after taking control of Seto's body. "This is how," Seto explained.

"It would've been nice if you had mentioned that before," Kisara said, feeling embarrassed about panicking earlier.

"You're right, I should've. I'm just so used to how these things work, I guess I left that part out," Seto said.

"It's not your fault," Kisara said. There was a pause.

"Are you okay now?" he asked, his eyes concerned.

Kisara smiled. "I'm fine," she answered.

Seto looked up at Ishizu, who was staring at the pair in shock. She quickly recovered.

"We should probably get going," Seto said. "With the time difference, the sooner we start heading back to Japan the better." He paused. "And thank you for this," he added, gesturing to the Millennium Rod before placing back in his belt loop.

"You're welcome," Ishizu replied automatically, not quite able to think of anything else to add.

Seto nodded in response. "Let's go," he said before heading out the door, leaving Kisara to follow behind.
