Chapter 1
Yugi walked into the room cautiously, his large eyes scanning the area out of habit for anything unusual. His two friends entered after him and Yugi noticed they did the same. His line of vision landed upon the large chair and the blue-eyed man that sat behind it. Multiple large LED screens were lit up behind his chair and the man beckoned for them to come closer.
"Have a seat" Kaiba offered, gesturing to the three chairs in front of his desk. The three males sat down and as they did, they saw Kaiba press a button under his desk and heard a soft click as the door was locked behind them.
"We need the privacy" Kaiba stated, answering the unspoken question. He paused before beginning again.
"I called you in today because you three are my best agents. Now I know the three of you were on separate missions before today but I have ordered replacements for your missions. Yugi, Ryuuji Otogi will be taking over your mission, Ryou, Hiroto Honda will be taking over yours, and Malik, Mai Kujaku over yours."
"What?!" Malik exclaimed, jumping up slightly from his chair. "I've been on that case for the last couple of months and I've finally just uncovered the guy's hidden workshop!"
Ryou placed his hand on the tanned man's knee, calming him slightly but his brown eyes darted back to Kaiba's immediately; it wasn't common for agents to be pulled out early from their respective missions unless something serious had happened.
Kaiba ignored the outburst and continued on. "We'll be needing you full time for this next case. Over the last few months there's been multiple disappearances around the city of Domino. The individuals all just vanished with no evidence of how they disappeared. We've had a team investigating the disappearances and last night they found something that linked each of them; they were each recent owners of the new Duel Disk 3000. As you know, since the patent on the duel disks ran out last year for KaibaCorp, a lot of companies have been adopting the idea and making and selling their own duel disks. Millennium Corp is one of them and the supplier of the Duel Disk 3000s."
Although KaibaCorp had started as a cover company to mask and fund the company's true secret agent nature, KaibaCorp had been wildly successful and become a top corporation in Japan.
"And you think just because they owned the same duel disk that means that that must have been the reason for their disappearances? That kind of seems like you're grasping at straws" Malik's voice dripped with his normal Egyptian attitude.
"We didn't think the connection was that plausible at the beginning either but I've been keeping tabs on these other 'duel disk' companies since KaibaCorp's patent ran out however I've been unable to find any information about the CEO of Millennium Corp; only that he has three adopted sons that work at the company with him. And that's where you three come in." Kaiba turned his chair around so that it was facing the screens on the wall behind him which suddenly came to life.
"These are your three targets" he said, pointing to the three figures on the screen, "Yami, Bakura and Marik Blishtar. The three grew up in foster care together till the age of nine where they were adopted 15 years ago. They are all directors in the company and you three have just been hired to be on their new social media team to promote their company and the Duel Disk 3000. Your mission is to find out from them as much as you can about the CEO and the company in general. Anything out of the ordinary must be reported to me immediately. I've printed off all the available information we have on the boys for you to read over" he continued, handing the agents a manila file each.
Yugi opened his file to reveal a close up image of Yami. His hair was similar to his own, but with blond streaks shooting upward from his head. Yugi had to admit the man was attractive, but he pushed the thought to the side as he skimmed the details quickly before his eyes widened for a split moment.
"He earns how much for a year?!" Yugi exclaimed and his cheeks showed a faint redness.
"1,300,000,000 yen" Kaiba replied calmly. "The three directors oversee many of the different departments within Millennium Corp and have had a lot of luck in the international market."
"That makes sense, I've actually read quite a bit up on Millennium Corp on the stock exchange and they've expanded three times their size in just the last year alone" Ryou added while he continued to scan the file.
Malik hadn't said a word since the files had been handed over to the agents, his eyes frozen on the page where Marik's face looked back out at him. Although the face had matured over the years, Malik couldn't forget those eyes that popped out of the page; they hadn't changed in 17 odd years.
The silence went unnoticed as Kaiba finished telling the instructions to the boys before unlocking the door and letting them out.
The three males bowed slightly to Kaiba before exiting the room.
"So what do you guys think? Do you think they're connected to the disappearances in any way?" Yugi asked.
"Not sure, I mean they look normal enough but then again so do we" Ryou joked and Yugi laughed along with him.
The three of them had been close friends for the last 8 years; they'd all met at the army academy when they were 15 years old and were invited to join the Kaiba family's secret agent business 4 years into their training and had been working for the family ever since. Their young trustworthy faces had always been their forte and had allowed them to accomplish missions that had been impossible to others.
Malik had stayed quiet through the whole conversation but was nudged out of his thoughts when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Malik, are you alright?" Ryou asked.
Malik quickly shook the nagging familiarity of the eyes out of his thoughts and smiled at Ryou and Yugi, who was also looking concerned. It wasn't like Malik to stay this quiet for so long.
"Just one of the guys looks like someone I met a long time ago but I'm sure it's not the same guy" Malik answered and he smiled again to reassure the two.
Yugi and Ryou looked at each other but decided to let the issue go; they knew Malik would expand on it in due time.
They all then headed home, anxious to read up on their three new targets.

"Oii, give that back! Bakura!" Yami called out angrily, chasing after his white haired brother.
The said brother sprinted out of Yami's bedroom and through their shared penthouse before reaching the balcony and holding the papers over the edge.
"Don't. you. dare." Yami warned as he stepped onto the balcony and saw Bakura holding the sales figure documents he had just been looking over, over the side of the building.
With a smirk, Bakura let the papers go flying and the wind carried them away into the distance.
"Baka! I was just looking over those!" Yami roared at Bakura who didn't look the least bit phased by Yami's anger.
"And I told you to stop working for a night. We've been up since 6am working and it's 8pm on a Thursday. We are going out and you're coming. Aren't we Marik?" Bakura explained, shouting his last question back into the penthouse. Marik stepped onto the balcony and grabbed Yami and pulled him in a playful head lock.
"We are going to have fun if it kills us. I'm sure our father won't mind if we go out one night here and there; what he doesn't know isn't going to kill him" Marik laughed.
"Here and there? You guys have been going out practically every night! If you didn't work so hard during the day I would have fired you by now" Yami accused, his head still locked under Marik's arm.
"As if you could. Now get your jacket and let's go, it's freezing out here" Bakura said walking back into the apartment to get his wallet. Marik let Yami go and followed Bakura inside.
Yami let out an exasperated sigh and got his leather jacket before following the others to the elevator. 'Who knows' Yami though, 'maybe he did need a break and tonight could be fun.'
