I've been updating this fiction because there's already a plot and I just have to add some details. It's easier, really, as compared to thinking up of a whole new plot of sorts (in the case of my other fictions). I'm really really sorry I couldn't update the others yet. I've been really very busy.
TheElegantFaerie: Yep, Boshin's kinda into Yui. Cute ne? I just came out with the possibility while writing the previous part—need a scene as additional content and it crossed my mind. :D I know you don't like Hotohori much but I like him for Yui… ahahaha. Since he's already dead and married here, I turned my attention on the son instead. ;P

Unknown Enemies
By Slavedriver2008
Seto gently pushed the girl away, struggling to break the sensuous kiss Yui was giving him. There was something wrong with the kiss but he could not point out what. He was never kissed before so he has no basis for comparison but the deed seemed lacking. Even though he has no first-hand experience in those sorts of things, he knew what it was supposed to be like. But really, he would rather kiss a machine.
"Kaiba…" she called in a very soft voice, clinging into his coat. "What's wrong? Am I unattractive for you?"
Seto pulled her hands away and stepped back. "I do not remember us being…close, Hongou. Your personal insecurities are beyond me. I am leaving," he noted quite coldly, gesturing toward the door.
Hands stopped him and she moved to cover the door. "You're not leaving." Yui smiled mischievously and Seto raised an eyebrow. "Let's get to know each other better, Kaiba-san." Seto's brow creased. Kaiba-san…? It was unlike Yui to...well, respect him. And then it struck him—she was a different girl.
A smirk made its way across Seto's face. "What do you have in mind?" The girl laughed, still holding his gaze. She gently unbuttoned her coat and took it off. Seto stepped back when she pulled out the ribbon of her uniform and unbuttoned her shirt.
"I have always liked you," she said and Seto's eyebrow rose again. "Always cool and quiet." She threw the shirt away and Seto was rewarded with a full view of her skin. She unabashedly took off her skirt and walked toward him. "It's your turn now."
She started to unbutton his coat but he clutched her hand and pushed it away. "You are humiliating, whoever you are." The girl's eyes widened. "Why are you copying her face?"
A shrill laughter left her and she moved toward him. He pushed her away. "You are really a genius. You've met her for just a few hours and you can already differentiate us? It's either you are that good or…you're infatuated with her…" she teased and Seto frowned. "But I assure you, I can do more than what she could. Should I show you?"
"I am the least interested. Who are you?" he asked, fists clenched. The girl seductively walked toward him and smiled.
"I'll tell you if you but satisfy me first." The girl unhooked her bra and threw it away. Seto's brow creased at her naked form. "Don't resist, just let your body follow me." The girl grabbed his coat and kissed him again, more passionate than the first. Instead of closing his eyes, Seto looked around, seeking a way to escape. "Touch me…" she whispered and then devoured his lips again. He guided his hands on her bare chest and Seto's eyes widened as he cupped her breast. He closed his eyes, savoring the foreign feel of a girl's skin. What could he possibly do at his state?
Seto… Save me…
Something throbbed in his chest but it was not his heart. Heat formed on his forehead and a flash of blue light appeared. A realization struck him and with a forceful shove, he pushed the girl away and ran toward the door, the pain in his forehead throbbing more and more by each step. In a heartbeat he was gone from her grasp and running in the bare school grounds. He was heaving heavily and when he was a good distance away, Seto placed his palm at his chest, where the book was. Yui was in the book. He should not forget. Until she comes out of it with his own eyes, he shall not be deluded. He touched his forehead, the pain gently receding.
Why was it hurting again? Does Yui need him? He leaned on the wall of the gymnasium, wiping the sweat on his forehead. He needed to read the book but if he stayed in one place, the doppelganger might find him again and he might not be able to resist. Damn, he thought, why was he in so much trouble because of a girl? He heaved a sigh as the pain completely disappeared, bringing with it the bluish light that was giving him an unexplainable power.
"Kaiba, what are you doing here? Where's Yui and Miaka?" Seto turned and found Yugi walking toward him. He looked at the older boy quizzically and frowned at his state. "What happened?"
"Yugi Moto. I have a favor to ask." He stood up straight and looked intently at the shorter boy. When Yugi nodded hesitantly, Seto pulled out the book and handed it to him. "Keep this for me. No matter what happens, do not let anyone have it. Do not let anyone know you have the book."
"I do not understand, Kaiba. What's happening?"
Seto threw him a small communication chip and he placed his own copy as an earring. "Read it too, but please tell me what's happening in the book." Kaiba nodded and placed the chip on his earlobe. "I trust you with my life, Yugi. Please keep the book safe."
Without another word, Seto turned and walked another way, leaving the boy wondering why the arrogant man suddenly asked for his help. Well, they have been helping each other lately so he doesn't mind. Yugi eyed the book and placed it inside his school bag. The older boy was very concerned of such a thing and he briefly wondered why. He shall begin reading once he goes home. He fingered the deck of cards in his bag and his heart palpitated. Does Kaiba has his cards with him? Yugi didn't know why he thought of it, but it seemed that it would be best if Kaiba has his deck. It could protect him, he thought. The bell rang again and Yugi rushed back to the room, looking forward to reading the book later today.
The black limousine immediately pulled out of the gates of the school and Seto stepped inside. Some of the students saw him ride the car but he didn't care. He'll just call in sick. He was still not sure why he gave Yugi the book but he somehow felt relieved he did. Someone was following him, he could tell. And they were probably looking for the book. Why else would that doppelganger know Yui?
Seto pushed a button inside his car and a laptop figured. He immediately accessed the school's documents and typed Yui's information records. He was good at hacking information and finding information on the girl was as easy as breathing. The information showed on the screen.
Seto raised an eyebrow when he realized Yui was living in the same apartment as Miaka and her older brother. Yuuki Keisuke. There was a number on the screen and he called it, plugging a controller on his head. The ringing ensued and after a few seconds, the man answered.
"Moshi-moshi?" the man asked and Seto cleared his throat.
"I am Kaiba Seto. I am Yui's friend—"
"Kaiba Seto of Kaiba Corporation? Since when did you become Yui's friend?" the man cut him. "Is this a prank call? Look, I don't have time for you—"
"Yui and your sister returned to the book," he told him and the man gasped on the other end. It seemed that he indeed knew about the book. The man cursed and Seto spoke again, "How do we bring them back?"
"Where's the book?"
"I left it with a person I trust. Someone is following me for some unknown reason. Look for him. His name is Yugi Moto," he whispered. The car immediately halted and the signal slowly broke. Seto threw away the controller and pushed the door open. But it was locked. He cursed and a white smoke appeared from the driver's seat. Seto coughed out, feeling dizzy with the smell. He kicked the door open and choked when he was already in open air.
Two figures were looking down on him as he coughed on the ground. A man with a painted face and… the principal. Heat filled his forehead again a blue light formed around him. The principal smiled widely and jumped toward him.
"You're too confident of yourself, my love." Her lips crashed down on his and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, hitting him hard. Seto felt his flesh burn before darkness consumed him.

The moment he reached his room, Yugi immediately took out the book and placed it on his study table. He placed a palm on the top of the book and it throbbed, as if beating. He briefly remembered the seriousness on Kaiba's face when he handed him the book. Whatever was inside must be very important for him. With heart palpitating, Yugi opened the first page.
The events of the book appeared in his thoughts like a movie and his head throbbed afterwards. "What is this thing?" Still shuddering, he began to read.
The shogun walked toward the priestess of Seiryuu with a nonchalant face. The girl gasped when he kneeled before her. She gently touched his face and tears fell from her eyes. Nakago, she called, heart beating wildly. The shogun moved on top of her and gently pinned her down on the bed, looming on top of her, never breaking the gaze. With his victim unmoving, Nakago unsheathed his sword and pointed it toward the priestess's pale throat.
"Nakago…" Yui called him, eyes widening as she felt the cold sword on her throat. "Why…?"
"You must die," was his only response. "A pity that someone as beautiful as you deserves such fate." He moved his hands up, clutching the hilt tightly. "I will make it quick so you won't feel the pain." With a determined expression, he swung the sword down.
The door opened and another sword stopped the shogun's blade, making it hit the bed, creating sharp cut in the white linen. The savior pushed the shogun away and stood before the still surprised girl.
"Boshin…" Yui called, recognizing him. An arm wrapped around her shoulder and helped her up. Chichiri's serious face appeared before her. The monk held his staff to protect her from a possible attack from the shogun.
"How can he come here without us noticing, no da? Has he become stronger?" Chichiri asked, his mark shining on his knee.
"A Suzaku warrior. Why are you protecting the Seiryuu no miko?" Nakago asked coldly.
"Why do you want to kill your own priestess?" Boshin asked venomously. Nakago's brow creased and he looked surprised.
"My priestess?" he asked. "Nonsense. I am not a Seiryuu seishi." Nakago said calmly and Yui's eyes widened. She felt that a sword had slashed her heart and she was bleeding. She looked down and Chichiri held her tighter.
The sounds of blades rung in the air and Yui watched as the two battled on the small space. One fighting to protect her, the other one wanting her dead. Yui's heart constricted when she replayed Nakago's words. How can he not be her warrior? He was Nakago. He was Nakago. He was… Tears fell from her eyes. Was he still… Nakago?
"They are of equal skill," Chichiri noted. "It's hard to identify who will win, no da. But… if Nakago uses his powers, Boshin will be killed instantly."
"Stop…" Yui called but they continued to fight, man on man. Boshin successfully evaded Nakago's attack and the latter accidentally dropped his sword. Boshin raised his hand to kill him. "STOP!" Yui ran toward them and pulled Boshin's arm. The blade landed on the wall, a few inches from Nakago's handsome face. "Stop, please. Don't hurt him!"
Cold blue eyes looked down on her and Yui's heart palpitated wildly. She missed him so much that she ached at the sight of him. Nakago punched the prince and he fell down on the floor with a loud thud. Nakago immediately took the latter's sword and was about to hack him when Yui stood before him, arms outstretched to protect the Prince.
"You came here to kill me. You can have your way just please don't hurt anyone." Yui begged, her face wet with tears. Nakago raised his sword. Yui smiled at him. She was too happy to see him that she'd gladly die by his hands. It was a demented reasoning since she would rather be embraced and lean on his familiar strong chest.
"YUI!" Boshin and Chichiri called at the same time. Nakago swung the sword and Yui closed her eyes. The blade stopped before it hit her throat, merely creating a tiny slit at the side of her neck. She gasped when she realized Boshin had stood up and stopped the blade with his hands, arms wrapped around her as he stood behind her.
"Boshin-san…" she called, seeing his hands bloodied by the blade. Nakago stopped moving and with the use of his power, Chichiri pushed him back and the shogun hit the wall. Boshin wrapped his arms tighter around her, shielding him from another possible attack.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, Yui-sama…" he breathed out, his long brown hair flowing freely behind his back. Chichiri showed up beside them, still holding out his hand to stop the shogun from moving. Footsteps emanated from the door and the couple entered.
"What's happening here?!" Tamahome screamed. His eyes widened at the sight of the shogun. A bolt of lightning hit the window. Light filled the room and Boshin wrapped his arms around the Seiryuu priestess. Chichiri created a shield for them while Tamahome wrapped his arms around his beloved Miaka.
Another lightning struck the room and when the light disappeared, the shogun was gone. Chichiri ran toward the destroyed wall and saw Nakago fleeing with a woman with reddish brown hair. "Soi…"
Still trembling, Yui turned toward the man who saved him. "You shouldn't have—" Boshin pulled her for a kiss and Yui's face reddened. She closed her eyes and let his mouth sent a wonderful warmth throughout her body. His bloodied hand cupped her face and he gently moved away, still gazing lovingly at her face.
"Are you hurt?" he asked and she shook her head, blushing at the way he cared for her. Tears fell from her eyes and he pulled her into his arms, embracing her tightly. And she cried, oblivious to the other people in the room.
The priestess leaned down on the Prince, letting his arms comfort the unexplainable pain that filled her. Her beloved warrior, whom she had never forgotten once, had completely lost all memory of her. He even wanted her dead. The thoughts pained the young priestess and she clung to the Prince, seeking the same comfort she always found in the shogun. Realizing she was not calming down, the Prince cupped her face and kissed her again, a kiss to pacify her trembling body. And she let him wash away the pain with every movement of his tongue inside her mouth.
Yugi blinked repeatedly, couldn't believe he was reading these things. He clicked the communication device on his earlobe and it buzzed. "Kaiba…?" Nothing came from the other end. And he called him again. "Kaiba…?"
A heavy voice came. "Yui…" Kaiba's voice came and Yugi's eyes widened as the blank page started to make out words. He saw Kaiba lying down on the a bed in a dark room. With heart on his throat, the duel master began to read.
The young man slowly sat up on the bed, his whole body aching. He was likewise feeling dizzy and his skin prickled when the smell of burned flesh filled his nostrils. He clutched his head, unconsciously calling the name of the priestess of Seiryuu. His body was sore from being hit by lightning and he rubbed his temple to brush the pain away. The door slowly opened and a familiar figure appeared before him. A face that had filled his previous dream.
"Yui…" he called softly and the girl walked toward him.
"How are you feeling?" she asked, sitting beside him on the bed. She cupped his face and looked up at her lovingly. "Did you come to this world for me?" she asked, face blushing.
Seto's face felt warm. Was this girl really Yui? "Where are we?"
"We're in the imperial palace of Kutou. We're in your room," she said softly, slightly laughing at his question. Her eyes glimmered in the meager light of the room. She was beautiful, Seto thought. Her long delicate fingers brushed the sides of his mouth and with his head still buzzing, Seto leaned down to kiss her lips.

A/N: There's too much kissing here, ne? Ehehehe. I realized this fic is starting to tread on sensual territory but I'm not planning to put mature scenes here. Just a little teasing would do. Please do rate and review!
