"I think it is an controlling spell" Aka said, coming out as like a tagger, "Don't worry, it's for the song we're going to sing Kasanagi. Again, it was last minute change."

Kasanagi groaned. "Seriously?" She asked. She didn't like admitting it, but her side was hurting like mad where the bullet had hit.

"Serously, but that made it that you don't have to move around that much" Aka said. Yana, also wearing a tagger outfit, came into the room.
"Kasanagi, you need to get changed. We're on after Sakura" she said.

"I thought Sakura was supposed to be the last performer?" Kasanagi asked, resigning herself to the fact that she was stuck in this predicament.

"That's right! I totally forgot about that. In that case, we're on in 5 minutes" Yana said, noticing a band groupie in the background. Only Aka know who it was.
"I can see you. Tell me, who are you?" Yana asked as the groupie came forward.

"Oh, sorry about that!" The groupie said. "I was just wondering where the bathroom was. I got kind of turned around in this place."

"Down the hall, second left." Kasanagi replied, heading into the dressing room. "That was random."

"Hang on a minute" Aka said, "This is not a groupie." And then with one hand, Aka cupped the groupie's neck against the wall.
"What did you do with my Hikari" she growled, making everyone to go on their guard.

Kaimiri sneered. "I believe you and your foolish little 'friends' will find out soon enough." He said. "And since you are the girl's yami after all, I don't believe I need to answer that particular question."

"So my instict was correct! Now change her back now" Aka yelled, still having Kaimiri against the wall, her aura flairing up.

"No can do." Kaimiri replied, his own dark aura flaring. "She'll be far more useful to me in this way."

"Let her go, Kaimiri." Kasanagi snarled, having come out of the dressing room as a tagger as well. "Or do you not know that I'm as good a duelist as I am a singer?"

"Do not raise a hand against me, Miss Manjoume." Kaimiri replied. "Unless you want one of the boys closest to you to die."

Kasanagi froze in fear. The fact that he had specified boys could only mean two people; Jun and Edo. It took all her effort to bite back a retort on the tip of her tongue, out of fear for the two.

All the comotion caused Yugi to run in and what a sight he saw. Two aura's flaring, everyone is in attacking possition and one pissed off Yami!

"Shit," Yugi muttered. "Guys, calm down! The last thing any of us need is the stadium getting blown to bits."

"Well, if it isn't the fabled Yugi Mutou." Kaimiri sneered. "Tell me, how's that scratch along your back doing?"

"Don't change the subject." Yugi replied icily, resisting the urge to snap his hand up to the shoulder where that ugly scar started. "Just get the hell out of here. Or will I have to make you?" With that last cold comment his own emerald green aura sparked, then faded in a blink of an eye.

Aka kept looking at his eyes for a few seconds.
"I agree. Get lost or else" she growled, throwing Kaimiri on the ground.
"Kaimiri! I got one of the vessals!" rose up a voice.

Kaimiri picked himself up easily. "Good work, love. Who did you manage to get hold of?" He asked mildly, as if nothing had happend.

"Wait, Shards?!" Yugi reeled from this news. "Tell me, who are you terrorizing now?!"

"You can hear me? Then tell Yuki that we got his best friend now and there is nothing he can't do to prevent his death" said the voice.
"Sho! And he wasn't planning to come here either too" Aka spat!

"Ryu's not going to be happy when he finds out." Kasanagi muttered. "And I hate to tell you this, but Judai's a bit out of commision thanks to you bastards!"

"I won't let you kill Sho." Yugi said coldly. "Ask anyone here. I'm not the kind of person you want to piss off, and you're doing a really good job of just that."

Aka looked at Yana. She didn't look to good. More like frightened.
"Yugi, I think we better drop it! You are scaring your daughter" she said.

Yugi turned at the sound of Aka's refrence to Yana. He noticed how scared the girl looked, and it reminded him of himself back when he'd first solved the Millennium Puzzle. He shot Kaimiri an icy glare.

"Kaimiri, leave here with your lackey. We'll settle this some other time, when there aren't any innocents present." Yugi said coldly.

"Nobody is innocent in this war, Mutou." Kaimiri replied mildly. "But, if you want me gone that badly, then I'll leave."

"Get lost Kaimiri! I got what I want" Aka said and winked at Yugi.

Yugi nodded in reply, an almost imperceptible movement of his head. "You heard her, Kaimiri." he said darkly.

Kaimiri chuckled. "As you wish." He said, and snapped. He dissapeared in a dark-colored mist, the same as his aura.

"I was able to scan his brain for the enchantment and apparently as it says, only the one he/she truly loves can only break the spell. Sadly, it didn't say what. My guess is that it could be by voice, hug, kiss, nibble by ear....that kind of thing but nothing further. If any harm comes to the one who is affected by it, will be under the spell forever" Aka said. That is when Yugi froze.
"Dad, what did that freak meant by scratch?" Yana asked.

Yugi hesitated slightly before answering. "When I was imprisoned by Kaimiri and his followers, he tried to convince me to join his side, I refused. When it became clear that I wasn't going to fight for him, he decided to take other measures for whatever purposes he had in mind." He replied. "Mainly, torture. Mental, physical, emotional...any method he could use he did. And one of those more noticable scars is the one running along my back. I tried breaking out, but due to being weak as I was, my attempt didn't succeed. When I was recaptured and brought before Kaimiri, he sliced my back open from shoulder to hip. I passed out from a combination of pain and blood loss."

As he spoke, his voice was hollow, empty, as if it were a memory he didn't like reliving. Hell, he didn't like reliving any of the experiences while he was trapped in that place. Contrary to what he wanted everyone to believe, he still didn't believe he was as tough as Atem was. Not if he could be tormented the way he was.

"And you didn't tell them? Why is that?" Aka asked, with 2 minutes to go.

Yugi wasn't sure how to answer. He'd wanted to tell the others, but.....

"Guys, you've got a couple minutes before you go onstage." Melhana pointed out, having been quiet the whole time. Yugi shot her a look of gratitude for changing the subject.

"Then, lets go!" Aka said.
"Um, before we go with Saharia, there is an email that I haven't opened yet. It's from mum" Yana said.
