A/N: I've changed my penname from Thegirlwithgreeneyes to Failingwithstyle so that soon all my pennames on all my writing sites will match. Right now you'll only find me on here and deviantart, though. More action! Can you see why I was procrastinating with writing this? Sorry for the lack of updates, my mind's been a bit counfuzzled lately. If this is as completely horrible as I think it may be, I apologize in advance.

Seto sat in his office on his computer while Kisara sat on his desk, holding the pendant that Mana and Mahad had left behind.

"So this is what she used to let them summon their spirit monsters but control them at the same time?" she asked, speaking of the pendant.

"Yes. It must have taken her some time to figure out but how she got her hands on the information to create it in the first place is beyond me," Seto said. He sighed, clicking on another web page of his search. "Here we are," he said, the screen having captured his attention.

"What is it?" Kisara asked.

"I found her. Desdemona Samira," he said triumphantly. Kisara saw a strange look on Seto's face for a second.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Well it certainly explains a bit," he said. "She was an archaeological student in college; she worked under Pegasus. Looks like he wasn't the only one to get his hands on something he shouldn't have, but her ambitions seem too have gone beyond a children's card game. According to this no one's seen her since she worked in Egypt."

Kisara frowned. "So what're we going to do now?"

"We wait," Seto said. "She'll come to us."

Months passed with no news or trouble from Desdemona. Though the threat always lurked at the back of their minds, life seemed normal enough that they could almost forget about it. At least as normal as they can get when you own a Millennium Item, but even Seth's presence was beginning to seem commonplace.

Time was flying by faster than it seemed possible. It was hard to believe this had all started in September. The school year was coming to a close, high school almost over.

Kisara planned on taking courses at a college right in Domino, while Seto, of course, would continue to run Kaiba Corp. Kisara wasn't quite sure what she'd do after college. She knew with Seto money wasn't a problem, but what she really hoped to do was start a family, though it was too early to start thinking about that, she supposed.

Seto stood pacing nervously downstairs. He paused, leaning against the wall, thinking about tonight. He internally scolded himself, unable to stop the smile beginning to form on his lips. It seemed so foolish, getting worked up over something over Prom night.

He heard an unearthly screech echoed through the grounds, a resounding boom seeming to shake the whole grounds. Seto walked over to the nearest security system control on the wall. No, he thought. Not tonight; not any night, but especially not tonight. He tried and failed to access the system. Someone had completely disabled it somehow. He cursed internally. Seto no longer relied on guards; he didn't trust people, especially in his own house. This security system was supposed to be fool proof, he programmed it himself. Whoever shut it down probably used another program, rather than breaking down the system it self, in order to disable it. A program like that would've taken months to create. Then again, months was what it did take.

He grabbed the Millennium Item, Seth communicating with him now in confusion.

"Seto? What's going on?"

"I have a feeling I know. I just hope I'm wrong."

He stepped outside, where what seemed to be the source of the disturbance.

"How nice of you to take the time to see me tonight, Kaiba," a familiar voice said coolly. Seto's eyes widened in a brief second of disbelief. It couldn't be. Desdemona stood in the middle of the yard, smiling wickedly, but that was not it. It was the massive being behind her. Her Ka, it must be… but it couldn't be. He looked at the woman's dark hair, her crimson eyes. The monster let out another resounding roar. The Red Eyes Black Dragon.

"Seto," Seth said, snapping his mind back to attention. He looked at Seth and nodded, before allowing him to take control. Seth had three thousand years more of experience and power, two factors that would surely matter now.

He summoned Duos. "Desdemona," he said loudly. "What do you want?"

"Now, now Kaiba, is that anyway to treat a guest? It's not too late to join me you know, I might let you and your little dragon girl live."

Seth smiled at this plea, the fact that she would make such an offer showed her desperation.

"Join you in what, exactly?" Seth asked. He had no interest in 'joining' her, but he was interested in what exactly motivated her to go to such lengths.

"In restoring the world to the power and glory that it once was, like during the time of the Shadow games. The way things were five millennia ago.

"This glory you speak of is also the power that very nearly destroyed the world on several occasions!" Seth shouted. "And joining you was never and option."

"I will not be destroyed," Desdemona confidently.

"We'll just have to see about that, won't we?"

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

Seth stood hunched over, breathing heavy and in pain. Duos had been destroyed, and he was now defenseless.

Desdemona laughed coldly. "What would people say to see the great Seto Kaiba like this now?" Now, my Red Eyes Black Dragon-"

She was interrupted by a burst of blue-white light that missed the dragon by inches, striking the ground only a few feet from where she stood.

Kisara stood in a multi-tone blue dress with sleeves that sloped off of her shoulders. She was barefooted and her long white hair was half fallen out of the fancy twist, spread gracefully against her pale skin. Still, she stood confidently, her eyes burning with anger. Her spirit of the blue eyes white dragon loomed proudly above her.

"Sorry it took me so long," Kisara said. "Heels are a pain to run in. I lost them somewhere along the way."

Desdemona looked up, panic in her eyes, but at the same time, she began laughing insanely. "Well, well, little dragon, looks like you decided to join us after all."

"You," she said anger clearly evident in her voice. "You killed my parents, you drove the rest of my family that was kind out of their home, and you've destroyed so many lives! But you will not ruin my prom night and you're definitely not going to hurt Seto!"

Seth had allowed Seto to take control of his body again, and Seto now stood staring breathlessly at his girlfriend. He stared at the blue eyes white dragon behind her, the real life version of that which had always given him hope, even in the darkest of times. He still marveled that he'd had that small connection to her even in childhood. He could do nothing but stand in disbelief as the blue eyes readied another attack, as the red eyes did the same.

The two attacks collided, the white-blue light of Kisara's Dragon's attack seeming to pause mid-air, completely overtaking the attack from Desdemona before reaching it's target in a blindingly brilliant flash of light.

When the light dissipated, a scorch mark was all that remained on the lawn, Desdemona and dragon both gone. The Blue Eyes White Dragon gave a satisfied sound before it too began to disappear as Kisara called her spirit back, exhausted because she was not used to the amount of energy it took to summon the dragon, never mind have it attack twice. Last time she'd summoned it she hadn't even been able to stay conscious afterwards.

It was lucky that the mansion was hidden from the view of everything nearby so he wouldn't have to deal with trouble from what just occurred all through the night from neighbors and law enforcement.

If that was luck, then it was a miracle that Kisara was alive and with him. He looked at her as a smiled spread across Kisara's lips before she feel to the ground, causing Seto to rush to her side.

"Kisara!" he said, now kneeing next to her, holding her up. "Are you all right?"

"Come closer," she said. He leaned in closer to her obediently as she pulled herself up to kiss him. She smiled.

"I'll be just fine, Seto. I'm just tired." She closed her eyes, leaning in to his embrace, before springing back up. "Oh no! Prom!"

"Kisara," he said, pulling her back in closer. "We're not going to prom like this."

"But-" she started in protest.

"Kisara, I will do anything you want later. I'll throw a second prom and invite the entire school if you say so. But not until after you get some rest."

"Really?" she asked. Sometimes she could be as stubborn as he could, and that was something remarkable.

"I promise," he said.

She smiled, snuggling in closer to his embrace. "Okay." She yawned. "You don't need to throw a whole second prom, but I will be holding you to that first part."

Seto smiled but Kisara was all ready asleep in his arms.

"Seto" Seth's voice sounded, causing Seto to look up. "I think my work here is done."

Seto blinked. "You're… just going to leave?"

"My soul wasn't sealed here like my cousin's was; I won't need any great ceremony. The door just needs to be open." Seth explained.

"And it's open now?" Seto questioned. Seth just smiled, looking somewhere to his left. "What's it like" Seto wondered.

Seth just looked at him smiling, clearly not ready to reveal anything. Perhaps he just couldn't, or perhaps he just thought it better not to say anything. He looked back towards where he was before. "She's waiting for me," was all he said.

Seto smiled. "Well what are you waiting for? Go ahead."

Seth nodded and stood for a moment longer before turning and walking away, his image slowly fading until it could no longer be seen, his presence slowly seeming to disappear with it.

Seto smiled after his counter part for a while after he was gone before looking back down at Kisara. He had to admit, he did feel a little disappointed about missing prom. What a crazy year it's been, he thought before lifting Kisara's sleeping form and walking inside the house.
