Once, twice, thrice… Got it! Then she swung her legs up to cling on to the pipes, bumping her ankles against the hard material in the process. “Ouch!” Let’s hope she could stay like a koala long enough to get out of here. She started to move along, guessing her way out.             Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming. Koshi looked below her. Two Rare Hunters were walking towards the room where she was locked. One of the men was talking. “We better get back to watching that girl before Master Malik catches us wandering away from our positions.” The other man nodded in agreement.           &nbs p; The girl realized Malik had had guards watching her. They just went away for some reason. She needed to hurry then. She quickened her sliding motion towards the way the Rare Hunters came from.             After what seems like a long time and a lot of wrong turns, Koshi finally reached the exit. To her luck, she didn’t bump into any other Rare Hunters. She’ll have to hurry. Soon her escape will be known when those goons check on her. Jumping down, the girl rushed out the door. Her eyes surveyed her position. She was somewhere at the Domino Pier. Koshi started to run. She needed to find Yami and them. “Yami,” the Queen thought, “guide me to you.”           &nb sp; Yami looked around him in his soul room. He thought he heard Koshi calling him. Has she escaped? “Koshi,” he thought, “find me at the Kaiba Corp. Stadium.”            ;  “I heard you, Yami,” Koshi whispered. She had stopped in an alley when she saw some Rare Hunters on the street. Soon, they were gone. They weren’t looking for her after all. Kaiba Corp. Stadium. Where exactly is that place? Is that where the finals are taking place? Guess her only option is to follow her heart since she doesn’t want to show herself. She started to walk again.             After a while, something caught Koshi’s eyes. “Isis!” she thought. “That girl must have entered the finals to save Malik. Great! I’ll just follow her.” She saw the Egyptian woman enter a stadium under construction. “That must be the Kaiba Corp. Stadium.” The two went in one after another. Koshi observed as Isis conversed with two guards. There was a blimp in the middle of the stadium. “Seto Kaiba has the weirdest ideas,” thought Kaohi as she tried to think of a way to get on. Time to practise her sprints. When the three reached the top of the ramp, she started to run. She slipped in just as the ramp closed. Then the blimp started to rise. Darting through the hallways, Koshi decided to go and meet Isis first.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*    &nbs p;          The guards led Isis to her room, a number eight printed on her door. Once the guards left, a shadow quickly knocked on the door.             “Come in.” The door opened and the shadow slipped in. The shadow stepped into the light. “Koshi!” The Egyptian woman stood up. “Are you okay? Malik didn’t hurt you, did he?”           &nbs p; Koshi waved her hand vaguely. “I’m okay. Thanks to tow careless guards, I escaped. I followed you after, then sneaked on to this blimp.”           & nbsp; Isis sighed. “I’m glad, Koshi. If Malik did anything to you, a lot of people would not forgive him. I suppose you want to watch the finals, right?” Koshi nodded. “You need to be careful, Koshi, okay? You have to be careful.”            ;  The girl smiled. “You mean about Malik? Don’t worry, I’ll watch out for him. I’ll hide or something. Just as long as I can watch Yami duel.”           &n bsp; Isis lowered her eyes. Her Millenium Tauk had showed her many things. Some of these were not of her choice to see. Things cannot be changed though. It’s only destiny. She lifted her head. “You want some darker clothes, Koshi? There’s some in the closet?”              Koshi looked down at herself. A dark bright red half-jacket over a beige shirt with jeans. She laughed awkwardly. “I guess I am a little bright,” She went towards the close and opened it. As she looked through the clothes, she asked, “Where did you get the clothes? I didn’t see you bring anything with you.”           &nb sp; “It’s not important how I got the clothes. Just choose and wear them.” Just then, a knock was heard on the door. Koshi took the pieces of clothes she has chosen and glided into the washroom. “Enter,” said Isis.             “I beg your pardon, ma’am,” said the guard.             Isis asked, “What is it?”           &nbs p; “Mr.Kaiba requested your presence at once.”           &n bsp; “In order to watch the finalists being paired off for the first duel. Isn’t that right?”           & nbsp; The guard replied, “That’s correct.”            ;  “Then my presence is not required. Some things cannot be explained but I can assure you with certainty that I will not be chosen for the first duel.” The guard raised his eyebrow. “But I know who will and the whole world depends on his victory.”            ;  Once the guard left, Koshi came out of the washroom wearing grey coloured sweater and dark coloured jeans. Her hair was loosely tied into a thick braid. “Who are the first duellists chosen, Isis?”           &n bsp; “The Pharaoh and Ryou Bakura.”              “Eh? Yami is first?”           & nbsp; “My necklace tells me that the Pharaoh will struggle in this duel.”   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*    ;             & nbsp;            &nb sp;       Koshi carefully stepped out of the central elevator, looking around making sure no one saw her. Unexpectedly, she felt eyes on her back. She turned around but no one was paying attention to her. Let’s see, the elevator had a small dome around it and if she climbed up on it, she’ll be able to see the duelling field. Crazy idea, but she doesn’t want to be seen. She slowly edged around the back of the dome and started to climb. The wind was making it hard for her though. Not that it mattered, she’ll get up there.             When she finally got up there, she looked at the playing field. She cried out, then covered her mouth, not wanting anymore to hear her. Has she already missed half the duel? Ryou, no, the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring, she has spotted the item around Ryou’s neck, has only 450 life points left but her Dark Necrofear on the field. What is he planning? She watched as Yami sacrificed his Gazelle, for his Dark Magician Girl. She wished she could hear but the wind was blocking most of the words. He used Magical Formula to raise the Magician’s attack points by 500 then attacked Dark Necrofear.           &nbs p; “Uh-oh,” thought Koshi. “Even though the wind’s blocking the words, I could still hear that spirit’s laugh. Something bad is going to happen.” She was right as Bakura release Dark Sanctuary on to the field. The girl shivered. Those eyes were giving her the creeps. “Oh, Yami…”          &n bsp;   Yami lifted his head. He thought he could hear Koshi’s voice in his head. He looked around and saw no one. Then he spotted the navy spot on the central elevator. Not showing anyone his discovery, he let the duel continue.             ; “Yugi, you fool. You helped me release the power of the Dark Sanctuary and now the field is covered with a magic that is so terrifying that will eventually destroy you soon,” exclaimed Bakura.             The Pharaoh smirked. He has faith in himself and the Heart of the Cards especially when he found out where Koshi is. Anything will be possible. “It is you who should be afraid. You have no monsters left and you’re down to you last 150 life points.”              Bakura snickered, “That’s true, however the evil ghost of Dark Sanctuary is now protecting me, which will change my fortune so magically.”          &nb sp;  “Your ghost don’t frighten me or Yami,” thought Koshi. “With one attack, Yami can kick him out of the finals. Unless, that ghost…”          & nbsp;  Yami attached with Gamma the Magnet Warrior but the ghost popped out of it and attacked Yami instead. She could only guess that this was one of the ghost’s power. Maybe…it controls one monster and if Yami attacked with it, it’ll attack him. Apparently, half of the monster’s attack points was taken off Yami’s life points and added to Bakura’s. Koshi scrunched her nose. She hates it when Yami need to face something so queer and evil. She watched as Bakura drew a card and played it. Something like an Oblation board appeared and then a letter ‘F’ appeared as well. She didn’t know what does it do but she certainly knew it wasn’t good.             Yami gasped as Bakura played the Dark Door. Now he couldn’t attack him more than once otherwise he would have defeated him. Now he played Earthbound Spirit, sacrificing it so he could keep Dark Sanctuary in play  “Right now, my best bet is to attack with my Dark Magician Girl since my Magnet Warrior is possessed,” he thought as he played Kuriboh on to the field. “Attack, Dark Magician Girl!”           &n bsp; The girl in hiding watched in horror as the ghost attacked from Dark Magician Girl. The ghost switched position! Now Yami has less life points compared to Bakura. This doesn’t look good. A second letter, ‘I’, appeared over the board.             “Only three letters left!” said Yami. “Wait! Our duel disks only have five slots, which mean five magic cards can be played at once and each of you letter is a magic card. So as long as your Dark Door card is in play, you can’t spell out the word.”           &n bsp; “Very observant, Yugi,” said Bakura. “But as long as I have Dark sanctuary in play, I can play more than five magic cards. In other words, even if I have my Dark Door on the playing field, I can still play all five letters of my Destiny Board. “He laughed.             Yami asked, “You mean your Dark Sanctuary card lets you play extra magic cards and possess one of my monsters with an evil ghost?”           & nbsp; “Yes, and that’s what make me unstoppable. Yugi, your hope of defeating me is over. In just three short turns, you will lose. Say, goodbye to the finals.”              Koshi thought, “If only Yami chooses the right monster to use or he’ll lose it all.” Bakura played and sacrificed a monster. Seems like he needs to sacrifice monsters to keep one of his cards. “Come on, Yami, choose the right monster.” She observed as the Pharaoh used Gamma the Magnet Warrior to attack, But that triggered some trap card of Bakura’s and now instead of Gamma, Dark Magician Girl is attacking, towards Yami! She shivered with all the ghosts around her. “Yami…”         & nbsp;   The Pharaoh lifted up his head at Koshi’s voice. She was cheering, supporting him. He looked at his cards. There must be something in his hand that will help. “Wait!” he thought. “Maybe those cards will help.” He placed two cards down. As he ended his turn, the third letter, ‘N’, appeared.             ; Bakura sacrificed one more monster and said, “It’s time for you to try and attack me again, if you dare. Remember that one of you monster is possessed so be careful. Now make your move!”           &n bsp; “I’ll do it with pleasure. I have a plan to demolish your evil ghost once and for all,” declared Yami.             “It can’t be.”           &nbs p; “It is and once your ghost is gone, I won’t have to worry about my monster being possessed.”          &nb sp;  The girl smiled. Looks like Yami got a plan. He played Collective Powers to focus all magic cards on to Kuriboh including the ghost of the Dark Sanctuary. Then he played Exile of the Wicked to destroy Kuriboh and the ghost. Perfect, now Yami gained back control of the duel. He also played Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Necrofear, which destroyed Dark Sanctuary since sending it to the graveyard brought it out. Dark Necrofear attacked and Bakura lost more than half his life points. Without Dark Sanctuary, Bakura could only have five magic cards, therefore he could finish the word and risk Yami attacking him or give up on his board.             Just then Bakura laughed. “Uh-oh,” thought Koshi. “Looks like he drew the card he wanted.” Bakura played a monster, sacrificed a card and somehow destroyed Dark Necrofear. “Must be a special ability and now Dark Sanctuary is back along with the ghost! He also played the card that stops Yami from attacking and using the possessed monster to attack again. Now what? You can’t lose, Yami. There’s one more card you can use.”           &nb sp; “Come one, Heart of the Cards,” though Yami as he drew his card. He smirked. “I sacrifice Dark Magician Girl, Gamma the Magnet Warrior and Big Shield Gardna to summon the all mighty Slifer the Sky Dragon!”              Koshi gasped at the size of the dragon even though she had seen it before. It’s just so huge and powerful. Suddenly she noticed a man with the Millennium Rod in his hand. That must be Malik’s servant. What plan does Malik have now? She watched in shock as the spirit of the Millennium Ring freed Ryou’s mind. That’s what he’s planning? To use this cheap trick? If Yami attacked, he’ll hurt Ryou even more, with his injury. While everything was stopped, at the spur of the moment, Bakura appeared again.             Yami exclaimed, “Fine, since you’re back, it’s time. Now, go Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack!”              All disappeared once the dragon attacked. Bakura has lost. “The winner is duellist no.3 Yugi Motou!”           & nbsp; The duelling arena was lowered and everyone rushed towards the fainted Ryou. Koshi watched from the top as Honda carried Ryou back down with everyone going with him except for Yami.             The Pharaoh was about to call Koshi down when a voice spoke before he did. “Koshi Janoseke, better get down from there before you fall.” He turned and found Seto talking.             Koshi nearly fell in surprise. “Seto knew I was here all along?” she thought. She sat up from her lying down position. “I won’t come down,” she said.             “Koshi, come down. You’re going to fall if you stay up there any longer,” commanded Yami with a soft voice.  He was pretty sure she won’t come down unless he tells her to.             Sure enough, the girl smiled. She slowly slid down the dome and ran into Yami’s outstretched arms. “Oh Yami, I missed you so much.”           &n bsp; Yami smiled and stroked her hair. “Me too. I heard you cheering for, you know?”           &n bsp; Koshi looked up in surprise “You heard me?”           &nbs p; “I told you. We are bonded, remember?” Yami pinched her nose in adoration.           &nbs p; “I thought…it was only when I wanted you to.” Koshi blushed. Does that mean he heard her every thought?             “When your heart wants me to hear, I will hear.” He hugged her tight. “Good thing Malik wasn’t here to see you. I’m not sure what he’ll do when he sees you.”           &nb sp; The girl looked a little desperate. “Yami, Malik is…”          &nbs p;  Suddenly, Seto interrupted, “Excuse me you two, but you have to remember I’m still here before you go off flirting with each other. Koshi, may I please ask you how you got on board my blimp?”           & nbsp; Frowning, Koshi answered, “Does it really matter because you can’t throw me off board now. It’s a little for that. Maybe I’m the eight duellist who never appeared in front of you. Who knows?”           & nbsp; “I won’t throw you off, but I’m sure you’re not the eighth duellist because my guards would have informed me about it,” explained Seto confidently. “Still, may I please talk to you for a moment?” Then he added, “Privately.”         &n bsp;   Yami looked at Koshi. She nodded. He pecked her forehead but Koshi pulled his head down for a kiss. Yami couldn’t resist the softness of her lips, so he wrapped his arms around her waist and responded her back.             Seto’s eyes burned with anger and jealousy at the scene in front of him. How dare they make out right in front of him as he’s not there? Before he could do anything though, the couple broke up. Yami gave Koshi one more peck on the nose before he walked towards the elevator.             ; Koshi turned to Seto and asked, “What did you want to talk about?”           & nbsp; “What’s between you and Yugi?”           &n bsp; “What do you mean?”           &n bsp; The CEO stared at her. “I mean you guys were making out right in front of me, et you didn’t tell anyone if you guys are going out or what.”           &n bsp; “That’s none of your business, Seto Kiaba.”           & nbsp; Seto grabbed Koshi be the arm and pulled her close to him. “It’s every part of my business. You’re mine, Koshi, Mine. No one is allowed to take you away from me, understand?”          &n bsp;  Koshi tried to struggle away from Seto’s grip. “I’m not yours, Seto. I;’m not anyone’s but I’m sure I like Yami and would be rather be with him then…” Before she could continue, Seto shut her up by kissing her. She struggled and struggled but couldn’t get out. She used the last resort. She lifted her led and kicked Seto’s shin. His grip loosened and Koshi immediately pushed him away. “Seto Kaiba, I hate you now! I never hated you before, but now I do! I hate you, Seto!” Then she ran off towards the elevator.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Author& #8217;s Note: How do you like this chapter?
