Jaa-1: Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elsiey: ::sweatdrops:: Calm down on the exclamation marks...

Jaa-1: Okay, back to the topic... This is inspired, -not- copyed, by 'Running Out of Time'...

Elsiey: ::grins:: It's real good. A lovely Cantonese movie... I totally recommend it. Even if you don't speak Cantonese, there's still subtitles so you should be fine...

Jaa-1: I wanted this to be a prologue, but Elsiey's being nitpicking and doesn't want me to...

Elsiey: In any case, Jaa-1 doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Jaa-1: But I will, and everything else. Mwahaha...

Elsiey: ::rolls eyes:: Whatever. Anyhow, to all readers, enjoy! :D

Chapter 1: Friday the 13th

-Remote Area of Domino City, Night-

It was an average Friday night... Friday the thirteenth. Seto Kaiba hated this day. It always made a lot of delays in business. 45 of his employees weren't at work today just because it was Friday the thirteenth. Even if he didn't believe that Friday the 13th was cursed, the number thirteen always made him feel slightly... disconcerted.

Kaiba was walking down the road when suddenly, someone came out from behind him... It was a young boy. The boy started playing the bagpipe, Kaiba's most hated intrument.

Of all the instruments, it just had to be the bagpipe, thought Kaiba irritably.

He decided to ignore him. The boy started to follow him and continuously play on his instrument. Kaiba decided to give the boy some money, in hopes that the boy would leave him alone. Even after that, though, the boy still followed him.

"What the hell do you want?!" Kaiba half-yelled, half-snarled, thoroughly annoyed.

But the boy just smiled innocently, as if it were just a game.

"Here. Take some money. Now leave me alone!" said Kaiba while taking out a 100 dollar bill.

The boy took it and disappeared behind some trees, leaving Kaiba thinking that it was the boy's plan all along to get him annoyed so that he would give him money. Stupid little brat...

Kaiba continued walking when suddenly, someone popped out in front of him. Thinking that it was an ambush, Kaiba pulled out a gun, which he uses for protection, and shot him.

"Oh my god..." said Kaiba after finding out that the person he just shot was the boy he gave the money to earlier. He quickly pushed the boy into some bushes so that he could get a shovel to bury him...

-A few days later-

"Finally, I have everything I need. Phase 1 of my plan will begin," a person said while putting a picture of Kaiba shooting the boy in an envelope and sending it to Kaiba.

-At Kaiba's office-

"You have mail, Sir," said Kaiba's secretary.

"Put it on my desk," answered Kaiba, "And get me some coffee while you're at it."

After a while, Kaiba finally decided to read his mail:

I know what you did last Friday.

"How is this possible?" said Kaiba while looking at the picture that was sent to him, of him shooting the boy from a few days ago...

Seto stood up and grabbed his brief case. He looked at Mokuba, who happened to be in the room at the moment.

"Mokuba, you're in charge for about... Until I come back," said Kaiba and walked off.

-Later-

Kaiba decided to deal with this issue himself and drive to Domino High to see if Yugi and his friends, or anybody else who might have something to do with the letter.

"What the...?" said Kaiba after noticing a sign that says I know what you did last Friday instead of the stop sign. He instantly came out of his car to pull down the sign.

Just then, he noticed a string that was barely visible. The string lead to the trigger of a gun! If he had pulled down the sign, he would have been shot. Feeling somewhat paranoid, he quickly called 911...

-At the police station-

"What did you do last Friday anyways?" asked Shaadi, the police officer.

"It's none of your business," said Kaiba, "Get to the point. Whose gun does it belong to?"

"According to the serial number, it belongs to Pegasus," answered Shaadi.

"I should have known," said Kaiba, recalling the Duelist Kingdom incident.

"He will be put to jail right away," assured Shaadi.

-A week later-

"DAMN IT!" said Kaiba, after receiving his 13th letter.

He quickly picked up the phone to dial 911.

"I'M STILL RECIEVING THE GOD DAMN LETTERS!" yelled Kaiba.

"Okay, just calm down. We will put him into maximum security straight away, which means..."

"I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! JUST DO IT FAST!" yelled Kaiba, slamming the phone down. Making up his mind, he decided to go to a father confessor.

-At a local church-

"So what do you have to say this time, Kaiba? Did you steal candy from your neighbour's baby boy again?" said Marik, the father confessor.

"No, not this time," answered Kaiba.

"So what is it then?" asked Marik, grinning.

Marik wasn't really a father confessor. He kidnapped the real one 3 years ago and stuffed him into a locker, waiting for the ransom…

And... He's still waiting for the ransom.

To pass time, he decided to replace the father confessor for the mean time, so he can laugh at the people who come to him. Yes... psychopaths have a very weird sense of humour...

"Last Friday, I shot a little boy by accident and buried him," confessed Kaiba.

"Ah well. Too bad for the kid," said Marik, while snickering.

"You know, talking to you never really helped," said Kaiba, peeved, "What kind of father confessor are you?"

"The kind that you can count on," replied Marik, still snickering.

Kaiba sweatdropped, "Riiight…"

-At Kaiba Corp.-

"Anything new?" Kaiba asked his secretary.

"Oh, yes. You have 13 new letters, sir," she answered.

Kaiba sat down and started to read his letters. Twitching somewhat, he started riping through all his letters... They were all the same, saying:

I know what you did last Friday.

If the letters are still coming, that means that Pegasus isn't the person who is trying to kill me, thought Kaiba.

Just then, the phone rang. Kaiba picked it up.

"STOP BOTHERING ME, YOU BASTARD!" yelled Kaiba, furious.

"Ah… sir? It's just me. Shaadi, the police officer?" he said, thinking that Kaiba has finally gone mad.

"Oh, I found out that Pegasus isn't the person who is trying to kill me," Kaiba informed Shaadi.

"We already knew that. How did you find out?" Shaadi asked.

"I'm still receiving the letters. And if Pegasus is in maximum security, he can't possibly be sending me anything," answered Kaiba, trying to sound calm.

"Well, we were just looking through Pegasus's house when we found a gun that was an exact duplicate of the one that almost shot you. Which means that the person who is trying to kill you made a duplicate of Pegasus's gun to frame him."

"Hmmm... Is that all?" asked Kaiba.

"Yes sir."

Kaiba sat down, thinking who might want to kill him... The first person who came to mind was Joey. The reason was quite obvious: the dog insults.

"So, how about Yugi's case..." Kaiba wondered out loud, "Ah yes, I just opened a shop just beside his granfather's shop a few weeks ago. That could mean that his grandpa got Yugi to get revenge for him."

"For Tristan's case, I don't know why he hates me, although my best guess would be that it's because Joey hates me, so he hates me in return. There's no doubt though that he hates me..."

See, once every year, Tristan would have a day called "Let's hate Kaiba day" That day, any one can submit to Tristan the things they hate about Kaiba.

While he continued thinking up reasons for other people to kill him (Which is amazingly a lot, by the way.), the phone rang. He picked it up.

"Hello?" said Kaiba.

"Hello," the voice was extremely low.

"Who are you?" asked Kaiba.

"I know what you did last Friday," said the man.

"What do you want from me?" asked Kaiba.

"I want to play a game with you for 72 hours, beginning tomorrow," replied the man.

"I don't have time to play your silly little games. I have a company to run."

The man snorted, "It's not like you have a choice, idiot."

Kaiba sighed inwardly. The guy had a point, though he was still miffed by the word 'idiot'. You dare insult my intelligence…

"So what are the rules?"

"The rules are quite simple. A way to prevent me from winning is by not letting me get what I want. But for you to actually win, you must bring me to jail," he said.

"There are three things that I want. The first thing is a necklace made of platinum silver and a pendant that is made of diamands and sapphire in a shape of a spider."

Now where the hell am I going to get that? Thought Kaiba.

"The second thing: there is a gang called Illuminati. They're sending a brief case with 10 million dollars in cash to the Mafia on the day after tomorrow. I want the money."

My God... this guy demands a lot... Thought Kaiba.

"The last thing is a watch that's worth 10 million dollars."

That's easy! It can be found in the musem of Tokyo, thought Kaiba.

"The game officially starts within 5 hours. Until then," he said, before he hung up.

"So it's a game he wants..." Kaiba muttered.

Elsiey: So this is it... Hope all readers enjoyed it. :D And to kvun, this story so kicks all your story's ass, and you too, come to think of it...

Jaa-1: Read my other stories! 'RaDiOh' in particular... It's based on Radio Active on YTV... It's a TV show that not enough people appreciate... But I like it. :D

Elsiey: -.- Don't read it, people. It sucks. And anyhow it's ::coughcopiedcough:: Oh, and Jaa-1, you didn't give my credit for beta-ing this fic... ::glares:: I want my credit. NOW!

Jaa-1: Okay, now let's get to something that's actually important...

Elsiey: I WANT MY CREDIT, DAMN IT!

Jaa-1: Just ignore the person who needs anger management. Any-ways...

Elsiey: ::mutters about unappreciative people::

Jaa-1: ... My 'Endless Dreams' story, in my opinion, is a little better than 'RaDiOh'. I think Elsiey can agree on that one.

Elsiey: Damn straight.

Jaa-1: The next chapters for this fic is more interesting... Anyhow, please review...
