"Ok, calm down, perhaps it was just from the wild life?"
"I don't think so honestly." Kristen said.
Seto sat up, a little more alert. "We'll scout out the camp,"he assured her.

"Thank you," Kristen said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Kristen, why don't you go look for Yugi? Let him know we're searching the camp and tell him to keep an eye on our men," Kay suggested. "If the dark sorcerer truly is preparing an ambush, we need our healers to keep our men alive."

"Ok." she said nodding. Kay watched as she left the tent to go look for her husband, and she sighed.
"Seto," she said softly.
"I know, I'm getting up." he sounded tired. but forced himself up anyway and put his sword around his waist to go alert the generals.

Kay quickly threw on some of her clothes and picked up her sword as well before going to gather some soldier to help her check on the tents and supplies.

Much to her surprise, the supplies were left alone, and everyone in the tents were all unharmed, and said that they heard nothing.
Kay went to go find Kristen to tell her the news of what they had found. she found her friend looking a little frantic and was practically running around the camp. "Kristen!" she called out. Kristen paused in mid step and looked at her.
"I can't find Yugi anywhere!" she said fearfully. "he's not in our tent and nobody has seen him at all! He said he wasnt' going to go very far!"
"Calm down Kristen." Kay assured her, "Let's try your tent one more time. WE found nothing suspicious, and maybe he went back."
==
It was cold, the place was devoid of all warmth. Yugi shivered slightly and opened his eyes. all he could see was darkness. "where...am I?" he murmured sleepily, the cold hit him a little harshly and he shivered some more. He started to bring his arms around to try and warm himself, but found that his arms were bound behind his back.
"W-what's going on?" he began to struggle,
"Oh, you're finally awake I see." a chilling voice said from behind him. Yugi turned hastily and gasped upon seeing the figure standing above him.

"Y-you...Bakura..." he gasped, his voice trembling and his mind blank with fear.

Bakura gave him a slow cruel smile. "I'm glad you remember my name Yugi." he said and kneeled down to his eye level. "It seems nobody wants to call me that anymore."
"W-what do you want?" Yugi asked, his voice trembling.
"hm, there are so few things I want now. What I'm primarily focused on is revenge. But after tonight, I have other plans that will be moved forward."
"W-what do you mean? Other plans?"
"I'm only telling you this so you know what kind of world your son will live in once I've gotten rid of you." Yugi's eyes widened and Bakura smiled eerily "I know all about your son. I know about the life you've made for yourself, marrying your sweet heart and even moving from healer to a fighter. how wonderful of you." the smile fell a little. "you and your friend Kaiba managed to make wonderful lives for yourselves. I highly doubt that you regret what has happened in the past."
"Bakura please..." Yugi whispered, dread filling from the pit of his stomach. "It's something I think about a lot,"
Bakura just laughed, "I'm sure that's what you're saying to save your skin."
"No Bakura please. you have to understand our side of things!" Yugi begged.
"What side? You killed Kim just because of who she loved!" He roared. "you left me alone, and her child motherless!" he paused for a minute and took a deep breath.

"Well, no matter," Bakura said as he seemed to regain his calm. As he began to stand, he continued, "I've given you and your friends more than enough time to give your children more than my dear Aaralyn will ever have. It's about time I settled things."
Yugi felt the air around him grow colder. With fear, he pleaded, "Please, Bakura, don't! Kou and Aelita have done nothing wrong!" Upon seeing the dark figure turn away, Yugi threw in, "Wait, where are you going? What do you plan to do?!"

Bakura didn't turn to look at him, instead, picked up a long knife.
"you're right, your children didn't do anything wrong. but, they'll have to pay for their parents mistakes."
"Bakura please! Leave them out of this, you can kill me, o-or whatever you have to do, but please leave them alone!" Yugi begged. Bakura just laughed.
"I intend to do more than just killing," he whipped around and used his magic to hoist Yugi up. "Let's see how good of a healer you are Yugi."
With that, the knife he held plunged deep into his side, causing Yugi to scream in agony.
==
"Kay, this really worries me." Kristen said, "We haven't found Yugi yet, and it's so unlike him to wander off."
"I know..." Kay sighed sadly. She was about to try and console her friend one last time, but Seto came up to the two girls.
"we've got an army of creatures coming our way, no doubt sent by the dark lord." he said. Kay's eyes widened.
"Then we must get our army ready."

"What?! B-But Yugi..."
"Kristen, let's not worry about that right now," Kay told her friend calmly. "Please, I need you to focus on keeping our men alive once the fighting begins. If we still haven't seen Yugi after the battle is over, I promise you we will gather the men together and find him."

Kristen took a deep breath and managed to nod. "Ok." she said softly, still nervous about just abandoning Yugi, but hopefully he would turn up. Kay nodded and gave her a brief hug, before disappearing with SEto to prepare for battle. Kristen watched the two go, having a sinking feeling it was the last time she'd see Kay.
"No, don't think like that. she and Kaiba are strong, and even stronger together. they can beat this." she thought determinedly and went to go prepare for battle herself.
--
Bakura stood by a window, watching his army advance towards the camp his enemy had made and smirked darkly. The next step in his plan would be really simple. Behind him, Yugi gave a painful groan. Bakura had untied him, knowing that the boy couldn't move anything other than his head. he was completely helpless and all Bakura had to do was wait for him to die. It'd be a very painful death, but he figured that was appropriate.
The dark sorcerer turned back to him, "I don't expect you to last long," he said, his voice soft but deadly. "As much as I would love to watch you die, I have other matters to tend to."
"Bakura..." Yugi moaned.
"I plan on getting rid of Kaiba and his wife, leaving not only their kingdom, but their child alone and defenseless in this world. then, when the time is right, my daughter will come in and destroy her...and your son."
"Your...daughter...?" Yugi asked in surprise. He knew that Bakura had a child, it was one of the many reasons Kim had been killed. and he had mentioned his daughter earlier, but for years he wondered what happened to the child. "Y-you have her?" he asked and Bakura nodded.
"Kim's dying wish was for me to reclaim our child and to keep her. Which I did." he said simply. his head turned back to the window and saw his army was just a few feet from Kaiba's, and knew this was his time. "Well then...enjoy your last few moments." he smirked before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, outside, what began as a simple skirmish quickly escalated to a bloody battle. The air was thick with the scent of blood and the sounds of man and beast screaming. Many felt themselves feeling sickened by the environment, yet they still did their best to hold their ground.
'Damn! Since when were these creatures so powerful?!' Kay thought with a scowl as she struck down another oncoming monster. 'The dark sorcerer's magic has clearly gotten more powerful! I'll need to regroup with Seto and his squad!'

She cleared a path for herself and saw Seto in the distance. Gripping her sword and keeping an eye on her surroundings, she began to run towards him. As she saw him get closer, a figure appeared before her, he was wearing dark robes with the hood up. "Get out of my way!" she shouted bringing her sword up,
the figure said nothing and she charged at him, he easily dodged her attack and his hand hit the back of her head, causing Kay to fall to her knees. "I rather like this position for you." a familiar voice said from beneath the hood. Kay gasped and looked up, but he created a dark ball of magic and threw it in her face, causing her to black out.

What felt like over an hour passed as Seto cut down every enemy that came towards him. While he had done well for the most part, it was clear in these past several minutes that he was slowing down, gradually getting more cuts across his body. He scowled angrily, thinking, 'Damn, where the hell is Yugi?!'
Currently, he and Kay had Kristen near the back, helping any injured soldiers, and Seto wasn't going to call her up into this bloodbath. She was needed back there. Suddenly, there was a brief pause in the carnage as he gazed out at the dead bodies that were surrounding him. A soft wind blew by, and a sudden sense of foreboding filled his being. It was a feeling he had felt a few times in his youth years ago: the looming threat of death. However, he wasn't worrying about himself in this moment.
"Kay..." Worried, he quickly scanned his surroundings in search of his wife.

He didn't see her anywhere on the field fighting, and the worry turned to panic. Was it at all possible that she had been cut down?
Shaking his head, he went in search for Kay, looking amongst the various bodies of both beast and man. Suddenly, the enemy began to retreat and Seto stared at them in bewilderment as they ran back to their side of this gloomy area. "Good, this gives us time to treat our wounded and regroup." he thought in relief. Not only that, but he could use a little bit of healing himself.
but before he would do that, he decided to keep searching for Kay.
Seto stumbled around for what felt like an hour, looking amongst the various bodies of his men, with each face came a sense of relief and guilt. These men had laid down their lives for the kingdom, too many were young looking, which meant they were new recruits. But he was relieved to see that Kay's face did not appear in the mass of bodies.
Finally, he felt himself stumble to the ground, breathing heavily and the blood on his body trickling down his skin and drop to the ground. Maybe...she had felt the same sense of foreboding and had gone to search for him? Or she had been injured and taken back to the wounded.
Using the last of his strength, he forced himself to stand and make his way back. Seto saw Kristen tending to a man and whisper gently in his ear. when she saw him, she gave the soldier a gentle pat on his shoulder and made her way towards Seto.
"Kaiba, you're hurt."
"I can't find Kay." he mumbled as he sat down gratefully on a bench Kristen led him to.
Kristen paused, but continued in her efforts to treat him "I still haven't found Yugi." she said fearfully. "I'm hoping maybe Kay saw him adn they're on their way back right now."
Seto's hand reached up and found one of hers, he gripped onto it tightly, "I don't think that's a possibility." he said softly. "This is war and the dark sorcerer is not merciful." his tone turned cold, filled to the brim with hate. "I'm more concerned that they were either captured or killed and their bodies hidden."
"Don't think like that Kaiba!" Kristen gasped.
"what other way can I think?" he snapped.
"you're tired." she used some of her healing power to force his body to relax. "rest and think with a clear head."

Seto sighed in frustration, but did indeed feel some relief from her healing, even if the relief was only physical. "God, I just wish Kay were here. I'd like to think I'm pretty level-headed, but she's the better planner. Together, I know we'd be able to get through this.
"You will get through this," Kristen assured him, attempting to also assure herself. "We'll find her and Yugi, and then we'll make our way home and come up with a way to finish this war."

Seto just nodded glumly. He wasn't as optimistic as Kristen, but he had to hold on to the hope that Kay was out there, probably looking for him.
"I should get back to the battle field"
"No." Kristen said firmly. "the enemy has retreated and you need time to rest. Maybe Kay's on her way over here too."
"Maybe..." he looked up to the sky frowning. He still had that nagging feeling of foreboding he had gotten right before the enemy retreated. "Why did they retreat? From the looks of it, they had the upper hand." he felt sick to his stomach to think about that. his men were wounded and a lot lay dead.
suddenly, a large black bird passed over him and he immediately jumped into a defensive stance. the bird swooped down way too close to be an accident, but a scroll fell from its talons, landing in front of him before flying away.
Seto warily picked up the parchment and realized it was stained with a lot of blood. "what the hell?" he muttered as he unrolled it and read the message.
"Hello Seto, It's been a long time since you and I exchanged words. the last time, I believe, I was asking you to release someone I cared about. I do like when the tables are turned. I have someone you care about in my custody. Call off your army and come meet me in my home. Perhaps, I'll let you give her a final good bye. I think it's more than merciful than what you granted me. ~ Bakura"

Seto felt anger and dread filling him at this news as he angrily clenched the paper in his fists. Nervously, Kristen asked, "Wh-What is it, Seto?"

"Th-that monster has her." he growled viciously.
==
Miles away from where Seto's camp was, Kay laid facedown on the floor, she stirred a little groggily and opened her eyes. she laid there for a few minutes, taking in her surroundings, before her mind processed what happened, and she began to wriggle on the floor. Her hands were bound tightly behind her.

"Oh, shit," Kay cursed silent to herself. "This is not good!"
In a moment of panic, she struggled harder. If she were in this situation, that meant Bakura had the upper hand. And who knew what would happen next? With how bloodthirsty the dark sorcerer was, she knew that someone would end up dead if she was unable to escape!
