Thank you all for reading my fic and thank you for the kind reviews!

After the "event", Yûgi, Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda left, abashed. During the return, none of them dared to say a word. There was like an unspoken agreement between the four friends: nothing had happened. Once they were back in the city centre, they waved goodbye and went back home, thinking about what they could do with their weekend.

It was late now but Yûgi could not sleep. He couldn't forget what he had seen a few hours ago. He thought about that woman, again and again. Who was she? What had she done? In Kaiba's world, there were only three things that mattered: Mokuba, his dragons and his company. The King of Game could not imagine the woman trying to take over KaibaCorp or stealing the Blue Eyes. She should have done something to Mokuba. And she had done it in Kaiba's presence! Was she suicidal?

It didn't make sense. Kaiba would have never allowed in his house someone who could hurt his little brother. Not anymore. Not after Saruwatari. Maybe the Kaiba brothers knew her well. Like a family member. But was she related to their late parents or was she a Kaiba?

Yûgi thought about what she had said.

"Everything is his fault! Everything!"

If indeed she was talking about Mokuba, what was he guilty of? He was just a kid!

The duellist shook his head. Too many questions were rushing in his mind. Before closing his eyes, he promised himself to call Mokuba the next day.

Despite tens of calls, Yûgi had not been able to contact his youngest friend. Now he was seriously worried. It was 11 pm but the young man could not stop cogitating. He needed to talk to him. He reached under his bed and took a small wooden box. He opened it and brought out a talisman representing an Egyptian eye (the same that used to adorn the Millennium Puzzle). He put it around his neck, closed his eyes and concentrated, remembering the old Egyptian incantation Isis had taught him. He said it at loud and called his name three times. When he opened his eyes, he was there.

"Always a pleasure to see you, Aibou."

Yûgi smiled. The presence of his once other-self calmed him a little. The Pharaoh was standing in front of him, majestic in his garment and jewellery. When he had left for the other world, Yûgi had thought he would never see him again. Yet Isis had told him that they were bound forever and, if the duellist wanted to see his partner, nothing would stop him, not even death. Then she had given him the talisman and taught him how to call the spirit.

Even if the young man had been trying to live his life without the one who had shared his body and mind, he sometimes felt the need to talk to "Yami". And, that night, the need was particularly strong.

"I need your help," he said in a rush, trying not to sound too desperate.

The spirit frowned. "Is there a problem?"

"There is, but not with me. We were supposed to spend the weekend at Mokuba's. But when we arrived, something strange happened." He told Atem what he had seen the day before. The spirit listened intently, trying to imagine the scene. Then Yûgi shared his hypothesis.

"I agree with you," the Pharaoh said, "she probably did or said something to Mokuba, hence Kaiba's reaction. Did he threaten her?"

"No, not really. At some point, I really thought he was about to slap her. But he restrained himself. He did strongly advise her not to see Mokuba again but he did not threaten to destroy her life or anything like that. That's why I think she means something to him. He would not have let her go like this if she had been some random person. Maybe she is a family member. But which family?"

The spirit nodded, "That makes sense. Even if I don't imagine Kaiba being violent with women, he is protective enough to lose his self-control. I would opt for his biological family. I don't think Kaiba would be that merciful with a member of his adoptive family."

"I don't understand her anger towards Mokuba. She accused him of something. But he is twelve years old!"

Atem pondered on this mystery. There was only one way to get answers, "You must ask Kaiba."

Yûgi looked at him in horror, "Do you want me to join you in the afterlife?"

The Pharaoh chuckled, "I know he can be intimidating and overprotective but I don't think he will murder you."

Yûgi pouted, "You're not funny. I just don't want him to think I'm curious."

"You're not curious, you're concerned," Atem reassured him, "And you will prove Mokuba that you care. Besides," the spirit winked, "remember that you're older than Kaiba."

Note: I know that, in some versions, Kaiba is one year older than Yûgi (probably to justify the size difference). But it would be as if Kaiba had repeated a year or something and that's impossible, he is a genius! I mean, do you imagine a guy, who is the CEO of a multinational company and who invented the first portable hologram projector at the age of 15 repeating a year?

As always, I hope you liked this chapter. Please review.
