Seto walked into his bedroom and told Mokuba to go to his room before Seto decided on a punishment. He hurried to his room eager to check in on Pernia, she had been withdrawn ever since her father had ordered Seto to stay away from her and him by a court order and the proposal he had made to her so he could continue to see her.

"Pernia," he said, walking into the room and turning the light on. "Pernia where are you?"

His radio was on playing soft classical music, so he knew she was home the bathroom light was on so he threw his trench coat on the bed and headed into the room expecting to see her bathing. She wasn't bathing, she wasn't even showering she was on the floor he razor under her unmoving hand and blood spilling from her wrists.

"Pernia!" he shouted, running to her side and picking her limp body up. "Pernia, wake up!" He shouted slapping her cheek gently. "Damn!" he cursed when he took in her pale skin and her blue lips.

Lowering her to the ground and began to do CPR to try and get her to start breathing again.

"Seto what is it?" asked Mokuba, running into the room.

"Mokuba," shouted Seto, pulling away to press down on her chest. "Call the hospital tell them we have an eighteen year old female bleeding to death hurry!"

"Right!" said Mokuba, running to Seto's bedside table and picking up the phone dialing the hospital.

"Come on Pernia," whispered Seto, brushing her hair from her face. "Wake up, please God wake up. I love you," he whispered, pulling her against his chest his tears trickling onto her skin; somewhere in the back of his mind he could hear faint breathing and an even fainter heartbeat. "I need you."

Two heartbeats slowly began to beat out of time with each other and two exhales of breath mingled separately one after the other in the still air of misery; waiting for the sound of the ambulance to come. Slowly ever so slowly the heart beat of the woman began to beat in time with the male holding her and her breath started to become more even with ever passing second.

"Mind telling me why I have to come with you?" asked Arora, while they made their way through the deserted school yard to the abandoned science building.

"Because," said Yami, turning around and embracing her for a soul searing kiss. "I need my lucky charm; besides after this we are training later on tonight after I finish this."

"Why do I have a feeling that training isn't what you have in mind?" asked Arora, returning the kiss.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," said Yami, smirking while they continued back up the hill toward the science building.

The moment they entered the science building the lights were turned on and Yakoma was standing on the rafters with Haria seating at his feet straddling the beam.

"Looks like she is in one of her favorite positions," said Yami under his breath. Arora cast him a look that said, `and how would you know?'. "I will explain later princess."

"In bed?" taunted Yakoma.

"Can we just get this over with?" asked Haria.

"Fine," said Yami. "Yakoma get your ass down here so we can fight."

"Let's do this," said Yakoma leaping down to land in front of Yami and Arora.

Yakoma and Yami moved into fighting positions as Arora got out of the way and watched them from the stairs leading towards a balcony. She watched as Yami made the first move and slammed his fist into Yakoma's head. The male stumbled back and slammed his own fist into Yami's check and then his stomach. Yami bent over the other man's fist and then jerked upwards bringing his fist up into Yakoma's jaw and then again in between his eyes.

Yakoma stumbled back and tried to get the tears from his eyes. He growled and started to circle Yami looking for an opening. He found one and lunged forward towards his open back; Yami dodged and took the punch in his side instead of in the back.

Arora was so busy watching the two men fight she didn't notice that Haria was sneaking up behind her with a dagger, until it was too late. She screamed the moment the blade slammed into her side and jerked it out running off into the shadows. Yami and Yakoma whirled from their battled and turned to see her slowly drop to her knees before gunfire rocked the building. Yami whirled to see Yakoma holding a smoking gun Yami lunged for the gun only to be slammed in the side of the head with the barrel. For the brief minute that he saw stars Yakoma got away.

"Arora," whispered Yami, rushing towards the fallen girl. "Hold on sweetie, everything is going to be okay."

Seto was seating in a chair by Pernia's bedside watching as she had to breathe with the help of a respirator, when he got the news. He left her in the care of his younger brother and hurried into the waiting room where his leader was standing in the shadows watching her cousin and his gang hurry into the room demanding to know what was going on.

"Do you know how she is?" he asked, leaning beside his leader.

"I shouldn't have brought her with me," said Yami ignoring the question.

"Its not like you knew this was going to happen," said Seto.

"No," said Yami. "But we both know people not involved in a gang fight always somehow get injured in the crossfire."

Seto sighed he knew that too be true, because had it not been for him Pernia wouldn't have a wound in her shoulder from getting shot. Ever since the eighth grade they had been very close but it wasn't until they were coming home from a sort of date that everything changed. She had been shot when they had walked passed enemy territory; the thing is the shot had been meant for him. It was that, that allowed her to come into the gang. Her appearance had started the first of the fights between the females; Yami should have none that it would have caused problems but loyalty such as that could not go ignored. It had taken Pernia awhile to get used to the rush of things but she had made Seto proud, very proud.

"What did you tell the doctors?" asked Seto.

"She had gotten into the crossfire of a gang fight," said Yami, which was technically the truth.

"Does her cousin know you brought her in?"

"I guess he does now," said Yami, nodding his head in the direction of Bakura as the white haired male stormed over to them. "Listen Gravedigger," began Yami, only to get cut off be a slug to his cheek.

"You fucking bastard!" shouted Bakura, the entire room going silent enough that one could hear a pin drop. "What the fuck was my cousin doing with you this late at night."

"Well," said Yami. "If you must know we were on a date."

"What?" growled Bakura, grabbing Yami's shirt. "Did you just say?"

"Me and Arora have been dating each other for awhile," said Yami detaching himself from Arora's grasp.

"How long of awhile?" asked Bakura.

"We started at some point during the project," said Yami.

"I am not through with you," whispered Bakura flatly.

"Are you going to kill your own cousin?" taunted Seto.

"I do not sink to your level," said Bakura, in Seto's ear. "I know how your adoptive father really died."

Seto froze, his blood running cold, "what are you going to do about that information?" he hissed.

"We shall see how you play your cards right," said Bakura darkly.

"What are you getting at?" asked Seto.

"You and your bitches meet me and my gang in the old science building," said Bakura. "Tomorrow after school and I will explain everything then I have some information you might find interesting."

"Fine," growled Yami. "You better not back stab me."

"I have someone else to worry about killing aside from you," said Bakura turning around. "I suggest you go see your bitch Slypher."

Seto blinked and watched the white haired male disappear down the hall. One thought flashed through his mind and that was how did the Gravedigger Lord know about Pernia.

Next day______________________________________________________

Yami was waiting for the Gravediggers with only a few members of his gang: Joey, Seto, Duke, Mako, Tristan, Mai, and Tea. Haria and Nikushimi were no where to be found and Pernia was still recovering in the hospital from cutting herself open last night. It was five minutes after school and so far they hadn't heard or seen a sign from any of the Gravediggers.

"They aren't coming," said Tea, crossing her arms over her chest and taking a drag of her cigarette. "The bastard probably lied and is probably going to set the damn building on fire."

"You are paranoid Tea," said Mai, running her hands through her hair. "Although I wouldn't put it past them."

"Nice to know you trust us," said Bakura, walking into the building followed by the other members of his gang aside from Umi who was dealing with the State lawyers wanting to take her baby sister away.

"What took you so long bastard?!" demanded Yami.

"I didn't give a specific time," said Bakura scowling.

"Who gives a fuck," snarled Seto, before a fight could break out between the two leaders. "Let's just get on with this so I can go back to the hospital and look after Pernia."

"Speaking of the Amazon," said Bakura, taking out a cigarette and lighting it up. "I have some information you might be interested in."

"What?" asked Seto, his blue eyes narrowed into anger slits.

"Your little bitch was nearly killed by someone in your gang."

"Who?"

"Who do you think?" retorted Arashi.

"How do you know that the little bitch tried to kill her?!" demanded Mai.

"I would think it would be obvious," muttered Okami. "The whole damn school knows she wants to nail Kaiba."


"Cut the bullshit and get to why we are here," snapped Joey.

"Simple," said Bakura. "I happen to know for a fact that two of your bitches betrayed you for the same gang that killed my cousin; so lets say that you and me join forces for a little payback."

"Why should I?" asked Yami bored.

"So, I guess you don't care that two of your bitches are fuckin Yakoma and his men?"

"Not in the slightest," said Yami.

"Are you going to tell him or should I?" asked Arashi.

"How did I let you talk me into this?"

"Just do it," said Arashi. "Or I will."

"If we win I might consider letting you date my cousin," said Bakura flatly.

"Oh really?" asked Yami raising an eyebrow.

"Yes," said Bakura, before muttering something along the lines of he would have to look into castration procedures first.

"Sounds good to me," said Yami shrugging his shoulders.

The entire group sweat dropped at the sudden willingness of Yami to join forces with Bakura.

"What is the plan?" asked Seto, before things got any weirder.

"Simple," said Bakura smirking. "We go in and don't live until they are all dead."

"What out leader is trying to say," said Malik rolling his eyes. "Is that we really don't have one."

"Wonderful," said Seto shaking his head. "I am surrounded by morons."

"I am sure your girlfriend would love to argue that thought," said Isis. "But at the moment let's get to the more important things."

"Right," Said Joey. "Like what the girls are going to be cooking while we boys fight."

"Say that again," said Mai, slapping him in the back of the head.

"Just kidding Mai," said Joey rubbing his head.

"Seriously," said Seto. "What is the plan?"

"This," said Bakura his eyes flashing with a dangerous seriousness.
