Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh.

Notes: I actually didn't expect to continue this story; it had been written as a venting one shot. *shrugs*. But I guess I'll keep going, just to see what happens. And sooner or later, I'll pick up "Yuugi Meet Mary". ^^;

I am SOOOOO sorry I've taken so long with this chapter!!!! *bows repeatedly* gomen ne, gomen ne!!!

~Night at the Kaiba Mansion

What the hell was so important about an insignificant brat like her??

He couldn't get that annoying look out of his mind -the look people give when they say they're worried about you; that they actually care.

Hmph. He didn't need someone like her to care about him.

He really didn't.

/ But everyone needs someone to care for, and to be cared for./ The voice whispered, startling Seto into sitting upright very quickly.

"What the hell…?" he muttered, dark blue eyes darting about the room - in the dark, his sapphire eyes could see nothing; the only sound he heard was the rain falling outside.

A quick flash of lightning illuminated the room, revealing the one thing he missed - the figure of a young female, sitting casually on an empty space of his desk.

Glaring, the elder Kaiba stood, yanked on a night robe he kept near the bed, and flicked on the lights, washing the whole room in brightness.

"How did you get in here?" It was more of a demand than a question, one he expected to be answered.

/You let me in. I am wherever you need me to be, for the time being anyway. / She replied, her voice now a mere whisper of what it had been that afternoon.

Kaiba 'hmphed', making sure to keep the majority of the room between him and the vexing girl."Go away. I don't need to hear your nonsense."

/ Why do you hide yourself so?/ Her lips never moved as her eyes watched him.

Upon closer inspection, Seto noticed she didn't seem…all there. In body, in any case. He still wasn't sure about her mind.

"What are you? Another pestering 'spirit' come to take over the world?" He kept his voice firm, trying to sound confused.

/ Spirit? Right now I am- and I was earlier today too, but you didn't notice. No, I don't want to take over the world, I just want to get back to myself./ Like a child, she swung her legs back and forth under her while she 'spoke' to him.

Shaking his head, Kaiba believed he had finally lost his mind. ::Perhaps I should call a shrink tomorrow…::

"Well, since I am going crazy, and seem to be stuck with a pestering nuisance like you, give me a name to call you by." He commanded her at last. In the background, the rain began falling harder; thunder crashed in the distance.

"Crystalline Hirameki." She replied enthusiastically, speaking with her voice instead of the mind voice she had been using earlier.

"Hirameki? That must be a joke - you are no inspiring influence. You are a nuisance." Seto commented upon hearing her family name.

Pouting, Crystalline hopped off of her perch. "I'm hurt Kaiba-san, truly I am. Don't you want to know why I'm here? Or the fact that you of all people can see me?"

He grunted slightly, watching the spirit-girl twirl around like a five year old instead of…well, she *looked* to be about sixteen or seventeen. Turning his back to her, he flicked the lights off. "No. Now go away - *I* have school tomorrow."

When he received no reply, he glanced about the dark room to find that he was alone again.

::Tch; I am going crazy!::

~~~Dream~~~

Young Seth stood beside his father, watching him intently.

"What is that scroll for father? I have not seen it before."

His father, the oldest High Priest, glanced down at his son, his Millennium Eye shining as light danced on the gold; his only real eye gravely serious.

"This scroll…it tells how one makes the Millennium Items. Pharaoh …… has ordered me to seal it, then hide it in his tomb, so that no one may ever use its power again."

::What is this?? I'm watching myself…this is like the time when Ishizu used her necklace on me. But why am I seeing this nonsense?:: The ghost-figure of Kaiba Seto watched as the father and son continued their conversation. Oddly enough, whenever one would mention the 'pharaoh', his name became garbled; Kaiba couldn't make out what they were saying.

"I do not understand; why must we seal the scroll? Millennium Items have already been created - they can create no more, correct?"

His father shook his head again. "Incorrect, my son. They are called 'Millennium' because one set of seven may be created every Millennium. However, when this is done, the old set…"

Setohad begun to become intrigued by the conversation, something in the back of his mind urging him to pay attention. Now the dream began to fade, and he could not hear the rest of what the old man was saying.

::The old set what? Why is this so important…?::

YamiCrys: Ah yes, why is it important indeed? =^_^= well, I hope this is good - and again, gomen nasai for taking so so long for doing this. Blame college. -_-

Seto: Tch. I hope you are at least *attempting* to get my character correct.

YamiCrys: I'm trying, really ^_^ hey folks, how am I doing on him so far? As for Crys well…you'll have to wait and see. Theheh ^_~ no, she's not Mary Sue demon, but at the moment she's a major pain in Kaiba-san's side.

Oh, and before I forget….REVIEW!!!! Onegai ^___^ For those of you reading "Yuugi Meet Mary" watch out for Chapter 3, it shall be done soon as well! Ja!
