'Personal Thoughts'

When Krista woke up the next day she felt dizzy, as if she was getting a fever. She got up and walked out of her room to see the others talking to Seto. Yugi saw her walk into the room and said,

"Good morning!"

"Good morning to you too" Krista said as she dragged herself over to the table.

"Krista, are you okay? You don't look so good." Yugi asked with a worried tone.

"I'm fine, just need to rest." Krista answered before falling backwards.

"Krista!" Seto said startled as he ran over and caught her.

Ryou ran over to the couch after Seto put her down and felt her forehead.

"She's burning up! Yugi, get me a damp cloth!" Ryou said sternly.

Yugi came in with a damp cloth and gave it to Ryou who put it on Krista's head.

"Will she be okay Ryou?" Bakura asked worried.

"I don't know, one minute she's fine and the next she's got a fever." Ryou answered.

"Kaiba, I need you to go out and get some medicine to reduce her fever." Ryou stated.

"I'd rather stay with Krista, if you don't mind." Kaiba said calmly, surprising everyone.

"Okay, Yugi and I will get the medicine; the rest of you keep an eye on her." Ryou said standing up.

Ryou and Yugi walked out the door and headed for the pharmacy.

"Ryou, why did you let Kaiba stay with Krista?" Yugi asked.

"Because my yami said that they were in love with each other." Ryou answered simply.

"What?! Well, that's a twist." Yugi said surprised.

"Yeah, I know. I also know that Kaiba will take good care of her." Ryou said as they walked into the pharmacy.

Yugi and Ryou picked up the medicine and headed back to the game shop. When they walked in the door, they saw that Kaiba was the only one by Krista's side and they heard the sounds of a duel going on in Yugi's room.

"How is she?" Yugi asked stepping up beside Kaiba.

"I think her fever's getting worse." Kaiba replied.

At that point, Krista sat bolt upright yelling,

"No!"

"It's alright Krista, it's alright." Seto said softly while pulling her into his arms and rubbing her back.

Krista hugged him back as tears started streaming down her face. Ryou motioned for him and Yugi to go upstairs after putting the medicine on the coffee table near Kaiba leaving the two alone.

"Krista, we bought some medicine to help reduce your fever." Seto said gently while holding a cup and pouring the liquid into it.

Kaiba held out the cup to her and she drank the liquid before he put the cup on the coffee table and laid her gently back down on the sofa.

"Thank you Seto." Krista said softly before she drifted off to sleep.

Seto leaned in and kissed her gently on the forehead before walking over to a chair and sitting down to read a magazine. Late that night after everyone went to sleep including Kaiba since he decided to stay and keep an eye on Krista; they heard the shattering of glass as a cloaked figure jumped through the window to try and kidnap Krista. Seto's eyes shot open and he was out of his chair in a matter of seconds in which he punched the cloaked figure in the gut causing the figure to pass out just as the others got downstairs.

"What happened?!" Yugi asked in a panic.

"This guy tried to kidnap Krista!" Seto answered angrily.

When the man came to, he was tied to a chair and had five people glaring at him.

"What did you want with Krista?!" Kaiba demanded.

"None of your business!" the man retorted.

Bakura held a knife to the man's throat saying,

"Are you sure you don't want to tell us?"

"I was sent to grab her!" the man replied panicking.

"By whom?" Yami asked.

"My master, he's interested in her powers." The man said quickly.

"You'll never take her without a fight!" Kaiba exclaimed picking Krista up and holding her close.

Although Kaiba had picked her up, another cloaked figure jumped through the window and knocked him out grabbing Krista and retreating out the window all in a matter of seconds. Bakura jumped out the window to chase after the man only to find that he was nowhere to be seen, when he turned back the other man was gone.

"What the hell?!" Bakura asked.

"What happened? Why didn't one of you stop him?!" He continued.

"We don't know what happened; he was suddenly untied and vanished without a trace!" Yugi replied.

Bakura looked back at the window angrily and devised a plan of rescue. Bakura was planning on going on this mission solo though.

Krista was still very weak from the fever when the man set her down in front of his master.

"So, you've succeeded?" His master said.

"Yes." The man replied.

"Good, take her to the room in the highest tower." He instructed smiling evilly.

'Soon Yugi, soon your millennium puzzle will be mine.' He thought with a wicked grin before heading up to the tower.

Meanwhile, Krista was slowly regaining consciousness.

"Seto?" she asked weakly.

"Sorry princess, but your in my possession now." She heard a rough voice say as a man with blonde hair stepped out of the shadows.

In seeing the man, she got scared and tried to get up, only to swerve and collapse to the floor. The man walked over to her, picked her up forcefully and put her back on the bed; before storming out, locking the door behind him. He came across one of his men and asked angrily,

"She's sick?!"

"But sir, I did what you ordered, I retrieved the girl." The man protested.

"Oh, shut up! Take her back where you got her. I'll send you to retrieve her again when she's healthy!" He ordered angrily.

"Yes sir." The man mumbled while heading up to the tower to get the girl.

The next night, the man snuck into the house and put the girl back on the couch before he left, as quickly as he came. Seto walked down the stairs and thought he saw Krista on the couch so he went over to investigate. When he got by her side, he noticed that she was definitely there and it wasn't some illusion. He ran to the stairs shouting,

"Everyone get up, Krista's back!"

They all got up and ran down the stairs to see if it was true only to find out that Kaiba was right, Krista was really there. Krista was just starting to regain consciousness. Seto, in seeing this walked over and asked,

"Krista?" as he grabbed her hand.

"Seto?" she asked weakly with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"I'm here" he said while leaning close to her side.

She tried to sit up, but got dizzy and started to fall back down when Seto caught her and held her close. The others all smiled as they watched the scene.

<< Ryou? >> Bakura asked through their link.

< Yeah > Ryou replied.

<< I think Yami was right when he stopped me from trying to kill Krista when I found out that she kissed Kaiba and that they were possibly in love >>

< Yami, you never told me that part > Ryou stated surprised.

<< He he oops >> Bakura replied nervously.

< I'm glad Yami was there to stop you, you're not necessarily the best when it comes to controlling your temper > Ryou said as a matter of factly.

Bakura grumbled and ended the mental conversation.
