This... Is incredibly late.

(Snorts.) Gee, you think?

Shut up.

I'm speaking on behalf of the readers. (Mutters.)

(Bows to the readers.) I am sincerely sorry about how I didn't update for a really long time.

This chapter is dedicated to:

Amaris the Dark Mage

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! In any way.


Yami shut the door quietly behind him.

Dartz may not be the smartest on the team, but he brought up a valid point. They needed to solve the murders now, before another victim could be claimed.

The spiky-haired detective rubbed his temples and sighed. In truth, they had no proof Yugi committed any such crime.

The teenager had been found standing outside of the house that Anzu Mazaki's murder had occurred in. When questioned about why he was there, he merely smiled and shrugged.

Yami had decided to take him back to the station and question him.

At the moment he was regretting that decision.

"Yami."

He glanced up at the sound of the feminine voice.

"Ishizu." He greeted with a small nod.

"I was just on my way to speak with you."

The tanned Egyptian female smiled.

"I had a feeling you would, and so I decided to find you."

Yami shook his head and smiled.

"Your predictions are amazing at times." He remarked.

"Some would say you can see the future."

Ishizu laughed softly.

"Now that's highly improbable. I am no fortune teller."

Yami nodded in agreement. Still, her predictions almost always came true. Yami had thought them as nothing but good luck at first, but that had changed when she predicted that her boss, Solomon, would fall victim to a hit and run later that night. Solomon didn't believe her and started on his walk home, only to be hit by a drunk driver who sped away from the scene.

But her being able to see the future was a ridiculous idea indeed.

"Why did you want to speak with me?" Ishizu inquired.

"I was wondering if you discovered who had raped Ms. Mazaki." Yami responded.

Ishizu nodded and bit her lip.

"But the result was... Inconclusive... And impossible."

Yami tilted his head.

"How so?"

Ishizu sighed.

"The DNA matched with Seto's."

"Seto Kaiba?" Yami's crimson eyes widened with shock. Not only was Seto his cousin, but his boss as well. To think he would do such a thing... No, it was impossible.

"Yes. But as I said before, it is impossible."

"How?" Yami crossed his arms and practically begged Ishizu with his eyes to give him some evidence that proved Seto's innocence.

"He was with me when the rape, and the murder, occurred."

"Were you alone with him?" Yami asked, hoping that they had been somewhere with a camera, or at least with more people willing to say that they saw them.

Ishizu hesitated, then answered.

"We were at his house... Alone."

Yami took in a breath of air sharply.

"So... I suppose this makes me a suspect as well?"


The cliffy strikes again.
