Chapter 3 " Kaiba meets Kashim: Chains of Fate"

A/N: Please forgive my rudeness, but I don't have much time to spend on the computer due to the fact that I have to study hard for school. I don't own Yugioh. I only own Kashim's character. Thank you all for reading my story and forgive my mistakes, I have a problem with vocabulary...Pleas review and tell me what you think.! Thank you all! Enjoy!

"Its my win Mokuba" Seto said as he gathered his cards. "And my loose…" Mokuba answered back sadly. I can not win, can i? Like when we used to play chess…" "Things have changed little brother. Now we are on the top." Seto answered back. " Nii sama have you heard about that ancient magician called Kashim?" Mokuba, who had read the magazine, said all of sudden. "I do not believe such things Mokuba." Seto answered back strictly.

A/N: Nii sama means "big brother" or just "brother". That's how Mokuba calls Seto in the original series of the anime.

"I am offended Seto Kaiba." A dark, sharp voice echoed in the room. "Who's there?" Seto asked with an angry voice. "Calm down there." The voice said again and a figure appeared behind Mokuba. The boy turned around and gasped in fear. "You are…Kashim! The ancient magician!" he whispered. "Oh my, my, I could not imagine the world new about me!" Kashim said and smiled. "I don't know who you are, or how you got in but I'll say this just once. Leave my office now." Seto said strictly. You are not allowed to talk to me this way Kaiba! And for that you will pay! Kashim said and raised his left hand creating a black babble. "No!" Mokuba yelled and run towards his brother. This time he would save him…This time…

Seto felt Mokuba's small hands on his chest and forced his feet move backwards. Only then he saw the black babble imprisoning his brother. "Mokuba!" he said as he tried to touch it. But he couldn't, for it was burning like fire. Inside Mokuba was struggling for some air. "Get him out!" Seto commanded. "You can not give me orders." Kashim answered calmly. "But I can. Now, you will do as I say if you want to see that useless kid again. Oh, and you have about three minutes to think of your answer." He continued as a smile was formed to his face."I don't think your brother will last any longer. Soon there will be no air in the babble." Seto looked at Mokuba and then whispered "Tell me you what .I will do anything…"

"Good. I knew you would act correctly." Kashim said. Now, what I want is simple. I want you to bring Yami here. And make sure that brat, Yugi, will come too." "I can give you their address." Seto said nervously. "Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to fight Yami, so I can't meet him alone… Yet. "Kashim answered. "And how will I convince them to come here?" Seto asked. That's your problem." Kashim said as he moved his left hand and freed Mokuba. "Mokuba!" Seto exclaimed and ran towards him. " Not yet, Kaiba. Yami first." Kashim said and held Mokuba's unconscious body close to him.

However, Seto never obeyed anyone. He moved in a blink of an eye, grabbed Kashim's hand and tried to set his brother free. Kashim though puss Seto back at once and said evilly " I never wanted to hurt your brother more that I already have, but you leave me no choice." "If you touch him I swear to—" "Chains of fate!" Kashim yelled pointing the roof with his free hand. With this command, black chains appeared and puss Mokuba on the wall with force. The boy moaned in pain and Seto's eyes went wide open. "I think that now, even you, can admit that magicians exist."Kashim said and moved his hand again making the chains hold Mokuba on the wall. Seto waited no longer. It was more than he could take. He reached the phone and formed Yami's number…He had no choice. Kashim had found his weakness…He had found the way to use him…And his role was not yet over…

Meanwhile…

The sun had given its place to black clouds ,when Yami and Yugi sat on the sofa. Yugi could feel that Yami not ok. His crimson eyes were sad and his mind was upset. Yugi could tell that, the story which Yami was about to reveal was old and painful. "Tell me Yami, what had happen between you and Kashim?"Asked Yugi.

Yami lowered his eyes, cleaned his throat and started talking with a sad low voice. "Kashim was a trustworthy friend of mine and one of my best servants in the palace. He was much more than a servant actually. He would always help me with my problems, put his life on the line for me and find a way to make me feel better, even when things were really bad. He was a great wizard and he had fought by my side many times. Someday I sent him to the market to hunt some robbers. There he saved a girl called Saiha. The robbers wanted to made her their slave and use her for their…needs. Kashim brought them all to me and begged me to spare the girl's life…

I could tell they were in love with each other, so I allowed her to stay in the palace. They were so happy together, until one day Saiha got sick… Kashim tried everything to save her but he succeeded nothing. And then he found a book which contained some rare spells…Dark spells which could cure incurable diseases, imprison someone's soul, even…bring the dead back to life. Little by little the book poisoned his mind…The power of the spells made him forget me, his friends, even Saiha. Darkness grew bigger in his heart as days were passing by. I tried to speak to him but he wouldn't listen. And one day he…Challenged me on a duel. A duel in which only one of us would survive. He said that, if he won he would take my soul and with it he would be able to cure Saiha.

I had no choice, but to accept the challenge. I had to save him, to bring him back to reality. The duel was the hardest I ever had. Kashim's spells were strong and my shadow magic could barely hold his attacks. And as we were fighting my eyes cached Saiha's figure at the door of the palace. She was there, with eyes full of tears, begging us to stop…And then I thought that, maybe she could make Kashim stop.

And so I urged her to come out. She came closer and tried to speak to him…But he would no longer recognize her. He puss her away…and he created a sword of shadows… I ordered her to leave but something had changed inside her…She stayed still. Kashim though, didn't. He put a spell on me so I couldn't move and puss me on the wall… He pointed his shadow blade to my chest, and got ready to kill me. It was in this moment, when Shaiha used all the strength she had left and put herself between me and Kashim… She hugged him tightly and whispered something I couldn't hear. Her blood flowed freely on our clothes…Her body hit the floor…Kashim lost his consecration and the spell had no effect on me anymore… I, wanted to speak to him, apologize for everything… But he took Shaiha's body, put a spell on himself and said that he would return one day to make me pay… Nobody saw him again… They said he died, but I never believed that. I ordered them though, to build a tomb and write how he looked like and who he was." Yami's voice fainted as a wave of guilt took him over.

"Can't you see…that it wasn't your fault?" Yugi whispered. "Can't you see that Saiha loved Kashim more than anything and that she willingly sacrificed herself trying to make him see the mistake he had done?" he said as he moved closer to Yami. "Yugi, you are so naive…" Yami whispered "I urged her to come out… I couldn't protect h-" "No, it wasn't your fault…Shaiha died trying to protect the person she loved from falling deeper in to the Shadows! That's what all our friends would do for their loved ones, that's what Kaiba would do for his brother…" Yugi answered with passion and wrapped his hands around Yami's neck, hiding his face to his strong chest… Yami's hands moved, as he towered over his sweet, little Yugi. Soon feelings of deep love, happiness and relief made everything else fade away… Yugi didn't move, he just remained still waiting for Yami to calm down… Oh, haw he wanted time to stop…To stay inside Yami's arms forever… "That's what…I would have done for you…" he whispered.

Yami wanted to answer back… He wanted to say " I love you", for he did love him, more than his life. He wanted to say that, he would sacrifice everything for his safety…But he didn't. The fear of losing him made him say other things as he released him and moved to the window... "No Yugi, you have to stay out of this, it has nothing to do with you. You can't fight Kashim…" Yami said with cold voice. Yugi's body tensed up, his hands trembled…He knew these words… "That's what he told me in my dream… So, he feels nothing for me?" Yugi thought. "I can't risk your life Yugi" Yami was ready to say…But suddenly his phone ranked…"Its Kaiba…" Yami said as he reached the phone…

A/N: Poor Mokuba...Kashim is a really bad person... So please tell me what you think!
