Phase 2: Her Mission Revealed

“This is getting too weird for me Yami, how did she know about you?” Yugi was lying on his bed staring into utter blackness. He couldn’t help but think about the mysterious lady that had just entered the town and their lives. “Don’t worry Yugi, we will find out who she is; however she didn’t seem like a threat to me.” Yami appeared and stood by the window, he opened one of the curtains as he heard something outside. He saw Seto’s car drive up outside the game shop. “Yugi, is there a reason why Kaiba is sitting in his car outside the game shop?” Yami looked rather suspicious and turned to look at the short boy. Yugi got out of bed and stood next to the nameless pharaoh extremely confused. “Well from here, it looks like he is looking at his watch.” The little yellow haired boy passed another confused look to the ancient pharaoh. “Do you think it is normal for Kaiba to be sitting outside our house in his red Ferrari?” Yugi looked rather concerned whilst still observing the multi-millionaire, “and why would he be awake at this time of night, it’s almost one in the morning, what-,” “I could ask you the same question,” Yami asked Yugi and then continued to look out the window observing Kaiba’s movement. “You should know that I have things to think about, especially with Laney coming in to town.” A frown was touching upon the face of the little boy. “There you go, he could be thinking as well, after all she did almost threaten to take over-,” Yami sentence was interrupted by Yugi. “Yeah, but she didn’t, did she?” They both watched as Kaiba drove off down the street. “And he should really do something about that car, it’s so thunderous.” Yugi went back to sit in his bed. “But I can’t stay up all night thinking about it; maybe a night’s sleep will do me good… Pharaoh?” His head turned to look at the tall spiky head man; a concerned expression rose upon Yugi’s facial features. “Don’t worry little Yugi” snapping out of his day dream he turned around to face the little yellow porcupine head who was sitting in bed. “You better go to sleep, goodnight.” “Umm, ok, goodnight Pharaoh.” Yugi curled up in bed and closed his eyes as Yami disappeared into the puzzle. Meanwhile Seto was racing the streets of the town; he couldn’t help but think of all the events that took place in his very own work place. The expression on his face showed the anger inside of him and thinking of her made him even angrier. ‘And you set eyes on her the first time you saw her. Seto, you are an idiot!’ he thought to himself, he gritted his teeth and put his foot down on the accelerator. Whilst driving and easing his anger, he came across a derelict area of the town where hardly anyone lived. But in the distant he could see a massive mansion, the lights were still on, he felt drawn to it and so went to take a look. It wasn’t normal for him to be driving in an area like this; actually he shouldn’t have been driving in this area at all, it wasn’t his type of town. The neighbourhood was like no-mans land. ‘Who would live in a locale like this?’ Seto was getting closer to this ‘white house’ look-a-like. As he approached such a big place he was stopped by big metal gates at the entrance, it came to his senses only a multi-millionaire would be living in a place like this. Seto’s thinking was going over-board; he was surrounded by all his notions on a cold night. He was in shock and dumbfounded by such an immense place. To his amazement the front door opened and a young lady appeared to be taking the rubbish out, he saw that she noticed the car from the distant as she stopped and stared; she then walked up to the gates to see who it was. As she was approaching the man with attitude, it became visible who it was. ‘You must be kidding me! That woman! She lives in a place like this!’ Seto got out of his car, his fist was shaking in anger at the side of his body and his right eye was twitching. The young lady was dressed in a long white silk night robe as she drew near Seto. “What brings you here at this time of night Mr Kaiba?” Laney said in a patient voice with a smile upon her face. Seto observed the way she was standing with her arms crossed and her hair tied up with a Japanese hair pin. His heart was racing all of a sudden; again, was it because of the anger or was he experiencing another emotion hidden deep within him. “Would you like to come in? It’s cold out here.” Laney was concerned about him, he appeared to be shaking. The gates opened, and without thinking Seto took the first steps in to her boundaries. It was like he was under a spell of some sort, it was like he had seen her before, but where, he didn’t know. He took his first steps in to the mansion. The warm colours of orange, terracotta, and pale yellow filled the place with sunshine at night. To him the place didn’t seem royal; it was just bigger and cosy. “Have a seat,” Laney looked at him; she could tell he was mesmerised by the images of the house filling his head. “Mr Kaiba please take a seat, would you like tea or coffee?” The young lady showed him to the lounge and he sat down in the deep terracotta sofa, he was still infusing the rays of the colours around him. Then he finally snapped out of it, it was as if the spell around him had broken. “What on earth am I doing in here?!” Seto was alarmed; he was agitated and he stood up and got ready to leave the house. “Mr Kaiba” Laney appeared from the kitchen “you didn’t seem to be yourself and it was cold outside, so I invited you in for tea.” Laney was getting more concerned by the minute. “Tea! Do you really think I would come in this place to drink tea! You must be off your rocker!” Seto was getting tense only for the reason he did not know how he got there. ‘How could my Priest of the ancient past be reincarnated into an idiot like him? I think he’s off his rocker!’ Laney thought to herself. Seto walked right up to Laney, he was so close to her he could feel the heat coming off her body and onto his. He looked right into her eyes and they met for a few seconds. Laney turned and put the serving plate with the teacups and sugar on the side. “I don’t need your help,” Seto said in an unmannered way and turned around and left. Laney was left frozen. ‘Right, now I want to know what moron revitalised the Priest into someone who has his pants on too tight!’ But this made her more determined to get him. “Priest Seto, you will be mine again,” a smug smile appeared in her face. “You do know if you carry this on you are going to become the enemy rather than the friend,” a young handsome man appeared right next to Laney. He was dressed in faded blue jeans and a white t-shirt and he had black, messed up hair that almost covered his brows. “Damn Jack, you scared me!” Laney was surprised to see her brother come out from no where again. He always tended to do that when she was anxious. “And there I thought you actually missed me?” Puppy dog eyes appeared on Jack’s face and then went back to normal. “Well like I was saying, you better be careful, after all you do hold the ancient knowledge of the ‘Nameless Pharaoh’s’ past.” Jack was looking at the tea Laney had made and picked up the tea cup and added sugar and started drinking it. He examined Laney, whilst she was busy messing around with some paperwork she had lying around. She didn’t even notice that Jack had drunk the tea she had made for her and Seto. “Jack you should know, I don’t just hold the knowledge, I was alive when everything had happened.” Laney stopped re-arranging the papers and sat down on the seat next to her. “You know what I seek and it’s not just Seto. I’m going to get the Pharaoh back and this time no one is going to stop me.” Laney stared right into Jack’s face with determination. “Laney, I will stand by you as your brother and as your guardian of the past. Just remember things may not go according to plan,” Jack put the tea cup down and faded away. Laney stared at the spot where he was standing and raised a brow. “Nameless Pharaoh, you will rise again,” Laney stood up and started walking towards the stairs. “Lass when I am in bed, could you turn the lights off please.” Talking to her AI in her house. “No problem Laney, I just hope everything goes as you wish, goodnight” Lass replied back. “I wish as well,” Laney mumbled to herself and went into her room and closed the door.
