Summary: Seto Kaiba is in desperation to rid himself of a dream that has been plaguing him night after night. Finally after asking for help, he determines it is more than just a nightmare; but a premonition for Jounouchi's death.       Chapter Two: Dream Catcher

“Kaiba! What is it? What’s wrong? Is Mokuba alright?”

Seto sighed and swallowed his pride. He told Yami everything, from when the dream started to how it ended. It was a long explanation as Kaiba tried to gloss over the ‘sexual’ aspect of his dream. Then he explained how Kaiba Corp.’s stocks were plummeting because of his lack of concentration, and how Mokuba was becoming worried about his big brother’s health.

After the five-minute briefing, Yami said, “I see. And you need my help to stop your nightmare.” This he stated more than questioned.

“If possible, yes. But I would also like your help interpreting it. What does it mean? Why am I having these recurring scenes in my sleep? I don’t know where to begin.”

“Well, I am not completely sure how far my powers can go. I have never used them with a person’s subconscious as while they were in deep sleep. This is uncharted territory for me,” Yami explained, hoping Kaiba wouldn’t think he had all the answers. The spirit had noticed for some time that his opponent had been acting a little off. He couldn’t quite place his finger on it, but just assumed that the teen’s company was slowly catching up with him.

“I understand that Yami, if you can’t help the-”

“I never said I couldn’t try,” the spirit interrupted before the independent CEO could find an excuse to not accept his help. “I think this has something to do with your former self as High Priest. From what I can remember, you always had this power to tap into people’s minds, and it always worked best while they were in deep sleep. I remember you even telling me once that you were capable of seeing into the future from your own dreams. It was a rare occurrence, but it could be done.”

‘This is nonsense,’ Kaiba thought as he scowled. ‘Not this stupid ancient Egypt crap again. It’s overrated and ridiculous, but what other explanation could there be?’

“Kaiba? Are you there?” The brunette forced himself from his thoughts and reassured Yami that he was paying attention. “What I can gather from your nightmare is that it is indeed a premonition to the future. It’s a warning Kaiba.”

“A warning? For what?”

“Jou’s death, your life, it’s all connected,” the spirit stated.

“What do you mean, ~my life~?” He was honestly curious as to why Yami would say that. “Shouldn’t the dream be focused solely on the mutt since he is the one that ends up dead first? And why isn’t HE having this nightmare?!”

“When I say ‘your life’, what I mean is there has to be a reason you and Jou are together. You must have feelings for or even lust for one another for the dream to be this strong. And remember, I said it’s a premonition.”

“There is no way that dirty flea bag and I are going to be a couple!” Kaiba was mentally screaming at himself for confiding in Yami. He had never thought about the relationship part of his subconscious before; probably because he had had numerous fantasies about the blonde anyway. But now Yami knew, which meant Yugi knew – and then Jounouchi would surely find out. ‘Oh this is just fucking perfect!’

“Don’t say that about Jounouchi! Besides, I know you feel strongly about him. You didn’t tell me much about the part he plays, but I can fill in the blanks.” Yami loved teasing his adversary whenever he got the chance. Usually Seto Kaiba was a closed book, and he often couldn’t find anything to crack on him about. This was just a rare and perfect opportunity he couldn’t pass up, even though he knew the brunette would not be happy.

“Perfect! I come to you for help and all you can do is taunt me about my feelings for Jou?!”

“What feelings?”

“DAMN IT!”

Kaiba slammed the phone down on the receiver and stormed out of his bedroom. He knew he shouldn’t have asked the spirit for help, but he was just so desperate and tired. The CEO rushed to his car and easily slid in. It was late, but it wouldn’t be like he was going to get to sleep anytime soon. He sped down his driveway and headed to his company to work through the night on his latest invention. It was almost completed, but he still needed a guinea pig.

Arriving at the large building, he stormed into the lobby and entered an elevator that lead down to the laboratory. As he stood in the descending pod, he tried to clear his mind of Yami, Jou, and the black figure from his nightmare. But as much as he tried, he couldn’t block things out. He had always been one to think, that had been his specialty. The spirit of the puzzle had struck a cord, and they both knew it. He had never even considered the possibilities of Jounouchi and him together. But, what really upset him was that Yami had beaten him to the punch and caught him off guard. As much as he had analyzed it, thought about it, dreamed it – that concept never occurred to the great CEO.

The elevator stopped and opened, allowing Kaiba into his large laboratory. He walked down to the end of the room and stood in front of a bolted door. This was his special area where he came up with everything that was top secret. And his latest invention would benefit his company more than anything else he had created.

Once the password was entered and his retina had been scanned, Kaiba entered the cold room, which was surrounded by two very large computers with a metal table placed in the middle. Technical equipment of various sizes was either hung from or attached to the room. A large screen was mounted to the wall opposite from the door. As Seto entered the room, he booted up the main computer. His work in progress couldn’t have been any more precious to him. It was probably his last hope for stopping his erotic nightmare.

‘My dream machine is almost complete. All I need to do is give it a test run.’ He thought about the competent people in his company that could actually help him use his own creation. His lab assistant could probably be of some help; all she needed to do was sleep.

Kaiba pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed her number; she probably wouldn’t be awake.

“Hello?” She sounded awake.

“Vicky, it’s Kaiba. Come to the lab, I need your help with something.”

“Yes, Mr. Kaiba.” She hung up the phone, knowing to always keep it simple with her boss. Luckily for her, she was already in the Kaiba Corp. building filing reports for the tests she had run that day. In a matter of two minutes, she arrived and Kaiba explained what she needed to do.

“Sleep? Is that all, sir?”

“Yes, that is all I need. This is a dream machine that I need to test. Don’t worry; it’s perfectly safe. I just need to be the one to analyze the data while someone else dreams.” She laid her light body on the metal table.

“This is quite uncomfortable Mr.-” Her sentence stopped short when she saw her boss approach with a small needle and vial in his hand.

“I know, that is why I am going to give you this drug so we don’t have to wait.” He stuck the needle in her arm and pressed his thumb down, forcing the liquid into her vein. He then patted it down with a disinfectant cotton ball as he removed it. Instantly her muscles felt warm and her eyes heavy as she succumbed to a deep sleep. He had already tried numerous prescription drugs that were supposed to inhibit one’s dreaming. But nothing worked. The process would continue until the nightmare had run its course. He wasn’t even able to wake up halfway through. The brunette walked around the room and switched the machine on. The large screen at the head of the room lit up, then turned black while it waited for Vicky to start her dream. Monitors fluctuated on another computer, showing her vitals and heartbeat. Everything had to be prefect for this to work. The only problem the brunette had; how was he going to use the machine if he was the only one who knew how to use it and didn’t want anyone else to know about his problem? There was no way Mokuba could do it, or anybody in the company for that matter. Kaiba just didn’t trust anyone – but he had confided in Yami. “Stupid spirit,” Seto said to himself as he stared at the screen. This was going to be a long night. “I need some coffee.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday afternoon was slowly dragging. Tomorrow would be Monday, which meant another tireless five days at work and at school. Yami and Yugi were at the game shop unpacking the new shipment that had just come in that morning. The spirit had told Yugi everything that had happened with Kaiba, which worried them both. Mr. Mutou noticed this by their lack of enthusiasm in their work. They both seemed very worried and preoccupied. But he just let it pass and continued wiping down the shelves and cases in the store.

At around 6:00that evening, the game shop got a phone call. Mr. Mutou picked it up and greeted the caller politely.

“Hello, Kame Game Shop, what can I do for you?”

“I need to speak to the spirit of the puzzle; it’s an emergency.” Kaiba’s voice came over the other line. The old man called for Yami and handed the phone to him once he entered the room.

“Hello?” Yami answered sternly.

“This is Kaiba, I need you to meet me at Kaiba Corp.”

“Yes, alright. Are you okay?”

“I am fine, just get here,” Seto demanded and hung up the phone. Yami looked at Yugi oddly as he walked into the room.

“That was strange. But I need to go and see Kaiba right now. I will finish up when I get back.”

“Oh, okay Yami.” The spirit walked out the game shop to find a long black limo parked out front. As the driver stepped out of the vehicle, Yami accepted the ride knowing Kaiba must have planned this. He must really be desperate.

After fifteen minutes, the limo pulled into the back entrance of Kaiba Corp. Yami was a little anxious to get this over with and help Kaiba, so he could get back to his lover and help with the rest of the work. He knew it wasn’t fair to just get up and go like that – but this was an emergency.

The tri-colored haired teen stepped out of the limo only to be ushered into the large building by the driver. Yami was greeted Kaiba as he passed through the second door, which led them to a long corridor. “Yami, I am glad you could come.”

Yami scowled. “From the service you offered, it didn’t look like I had much of a choice.” Kaiba smirked at Yami’s remark about his hospitality. He knew getting through to the spirit was going to be harder than it looked. But he needed this, more than anything right now; so he played the only card he could think of that was in his favor.

“If you want to save Jounouchi, then I suggest you follow me.” The brunette wasted no time and turned, speed walking down a long hallway, stopping in front of an elevator. Once they were both inside, the contraption lowered, passing at least five floors before they stopped and the door opened again. At the end of the numerous twists and turns, Kaiba led them to a large laboratory. “This is where we make all of our Duel Monsters game simulations to test and sell to the public.” It was odd that the brunette continued walking, stopping at another door at the other end of the room. Once he and Yami were inside, the CEO switched on the lights. “You can see here first-hand my latest invention. I would like to call it the Dream Catcher. It can read dreams as a person sleeps and record them for later analysis. I tested it out last night. It’s flawless.”

“Don’t tell me, you need me to run it while you sleep and dream this nightmare so I can actually see what’s going on in that thick skull of yours?” Kaiba gave him an evil look.

“Don’t patronize me! I am in no mood,” Seto barked and then began to show Yami how to work the machine from start to finish. Twenty minutes had passed and Yami’s head was about to explode. “Do you think you understand everything?”

“Yes,” Yami replied. He did understand how to work the machine; the only problem was going to be interpreting the dream. He didn’t want to disappoint Kaiba after the CEO had come this far and had even created an ingenious device that could actually record people’s dreams and digitize them onto a screen. It was mind-boggling.

Yami was pulled from his thought when Kaiba jumped up onto the table and lay down. “Hook me up,” he ordered and closed his eyes. Yami did so and after five minutes of preparation, everything was set. “One other thing, this machine isn’t capable of creating sound from the subconscious. But it shouldn’t take long, it only takes the nightmare an hour to finish.”

“Geeze Kaiba, no wonder you haven’t gotten any sleep,” the spirit said as the CEO dozed off. The lights in the room darkened and then completely shut off as Yami took his seat. The large screen in front of him turned on but then went black again. The other computers showed Kaiba’s vitals and heartbeat.

~~~

Twenty minutes had passed, and still nothing was happening. ‘This was a waste of time,’ Yami thought.

But as the spirit decided to call it a day, the screen began to blur and pick up images from the CEO’s subconscious. After a few minutes, everything was clear on the large digital picture as he saw from Kaiba’s point of view stairs and then Jounouchi lying naked on a bed. This was very uncomfortable for the spirit to watch, but he had told the brunette he would help him and that was what he was going to do! The sexual scene lasted for quite some time. Everything was very vivid as the intercourse progressed. Yami looked back to the CEO, only to find him lying there with a dazed look upon his features. His vitals showed he was relaxed, and only a blind man wouldn’t notice the huge tent Seto Kaiba was currently sporting. Yami snickered to himself, but then remembered that this was serious and he needed to help. Besides, he hadn’t even seen the end of the dream yet. The Dream Catcher seemed to be doing its job rather well.

As Yami continued to watch, Kaiba’s heart rate increased rapidly as Jou penetrated himself. The ancient stared in awe as he saw the worst image imaginable. The knife, Jounouchi’s stiff body, Kaiba choking to death. It was absolutely horrid. The spirit put his hand to his mouth, afraid that he might vomit from seeing his dear friends in such a situation. After calming down, he forced himself to look at the black figure standing in front of Kaiba as he screamed.

Luckily, the Dream Catcher didn’t hold any sound, but it made the experience that much more eerie. It was like sitting through a silent death, while Seto was experiencing the real thing.
