CHAPTER 7:
Yami hung up the phone and stayed a little while there until Anzu's voice made him turn around.
"What happened?"
He answered "Joey is already at NAS and Kaiba is specifically searching for me… maybe because an important object was stolen yesterday…"
"We have to go Anzu" he said and walked towards his room to get ready.
"And what about us?" asked Yugi referring at him and Mana. Yami stopped and seemed to think about it.
"Call grandpa and tell him to pick you two up. When you arrive at the game shop call me"
"But I want to go with you" Yugi exclaimed
"Me too" said Mana
"You know you can't. And I don't want you to stay here either. Kaiba knows this place, but not the game shop"
"Are you at least going to eat something?" said Yugi really concerned
"I don't have hungry"
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Kaiba was literally like a volcano in way to erupt. When he entered yesterday in the laboratory to check if all was in order, he discovered one of the six objects was missing… he said six because Pegasus had taken one, the necklace… he had to find it before Pegasus realized it. Damn! Who could possible know about it? He had taken good care in keep that like a secret…
Returning to yesterday events, one person he hadn't see in the cocktail… Number one suspect: Yami Muto
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Seto growled.
"Hello?"
"Kaiba, I already know about the rob"
"Damn!" Seto thought
"The news certain fly fast"
"Do something about it or you will get in serious trouble"
"I'm on it" Pegasus hung up before anything more was said
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Yami arrived with Anzu in his car at the parking of NAS. He turned off the engine and a little moment of silence followed. They hadn't talked in all the way there, the radio always filling the empty space of silence, but now it was off… Yami couldn't stifle a yawn, he felt so tired.
"You hadn't much of a sleep huh?" Anzu asked
Yami denied with his head.
"Not really. I had two visions" he said, his gaze lost at the front
"What did you see?" she asked facing him
"First, I saw myself in warrior clothes fighting against an army of monsters… there I met Mana… The second vision, I was standing in a hall with the walls full of hieroglyphics… They told a story and I could distinguish one image and its label"
Anzu waited for him to continue.
"Myself again in those warrior clothes and the inscription said… 'Greatest pharaoh of the dark age'…"
He opened the door rapidly and in one swift movement, he got down of it. Anzu imitated him. They closed the door and she approached him quickly.
"So, what Mana said was true. It seems you are or were a pharaoh!" Anzu said amazed.
Yami denied with his head again.
"This is not true. It's just this damn pendant playing tricks on me, nothing more! I'm going to find out what is this really about!" Yami said hints of desperation on his voice and started to walk. Anzu stopped him by the arm. He didn't turn to face her.
"Yami calm down, you look like you are going to murder someone" she said walking in front of him to be face to face.
"Maybe I'm going to… someone with a Kaiba like last name" he said and the puzzle started to shine. Anzu noted it, and felt a pang of fear while looking at his eyes. She feared that he might lose control right there, without Yugi around... who seemed the only one to stop him…
The next second, Yami was with his head at the side, with a red mark on his left cheek…
Anzu had slapped him… very hard…
A soft breeze passed removing some leafs that were all over the ground, they faintly noted it. Yami stood there and slowly lifted a hand to touch his pained cheek. Anzu noted the puzzle faded again. She stared at him.
"I'm so--"
"Don't" he interrupted turning to face her again "I deserved it" he smiled "Thanks for snapping me out" he sighed
"Any time" she smiled. The suddenly tense situation disappeared to her relieve…
"Let's go face Kaiba" he said and was about to walk again
"Wait" she said and grabbed his jacket neck to conceal better the hidden chain under his shirt. They couldn't let Kaiba know who had that object… He just observed her, a smile crept again on his face, he just couldn't avoid smiling every time he saw her that close…
"Done" she exclaimed happily
"Thanks again. Now let's just hope Kaiba doesn't realize it… Come on"
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
NAS was a mess! All people running around, papers all over… it was worst than when the energy's experiment took over… people was damn crazy searching everywhere under Kaiba's command… They were looking for something that wasn't theirs, which had pyramid form.
Yami and Anzu made their way towards the main room and immediately spotted Joey there. He saw them and went to greet them.
"Hi guys. Like you see, this is nuts!" he signaled all scientists running around, others searching in boxes, under tables, in the second floor…
"What a mess…" she murmured and saw Serenity running towards them, along with Nina.
"Hi" both said at them
"Yami, you had that thing under that jacket right?" Joey asked in his ear so no one could hear. He nodded.
"I couldn't take it off…" he whispered back
"What's the plan?" asked Serenity
Yami sighed for the nth time, he knew what he was going to say wouldn't like to his friends.
"You guys don't do anything. Just act normally; I will go talk with Kaiba"
"Are you going to tell him..?!" Joey asked panicking
"No, I just want some answers. I will manage to get some answers without telling him about it" he said and suddenly they heard Kaiba's voice in front of them
"Well well, looks like our first suspicious finally had arrived" Seto said approaching him. Joey, Anzu, Serenity and Nina took a step back instinctively. Yami didn't even flinched
"First suspicious? Of what?" he asked like ignoring what was going on. That made a vein pop in Seto's forehead
"Look Yami, don't act dumb! Where were you yesterday around cocktail's hours?!" he asked directly. Yami shrugged.
"I was here, with Anzu" he said and saw Seto's eyebrow twitch. Yami smirked. "Any problem with that?" he pressed still smirking.
"None" he said through grinded teeth "It's just that amaze me that I didn't see you at all… Where were you two?" he asked
Yami had to think fast an excuse… Anzu gained him
"It's none of your business" she said putting her hands on her hips
"So… they were couple… after all… damn Yami!!" Seto felt his anger boiling inside, he wanted to unload in someone, someone he had in front of him right now…
Yami looked at Anzu and with the eyes told her to stay quiet. Anzu just shrugged rolling her eyes. Yami faced Seto once more.
"Where were you? I didn't see you either, what a coincidence…" he said putting his hand inside his pockets.
"It's none of your business"
"It is…" he thought and threw at him another question
"What are you so intently looking for?" Seto threw him the coldest gaze he had
"I'm the one asking! Is that clear?!"
"Seto Kaiba!" all heads turned to see the source of the voice. All eyes met Richard, the director of NAS.
"What the hell is going on here? Why are these police officers here?" he asked him referring to the four figures on the door.
Kaiba looked at them, and immediately recognized them.
"It seems Pegasus had acted fast…" he cleared his throat
"Yes, Richard I call them. It seems someone had robbed an important appliance yesterday" he said with a secure tone
"An appliance? What it was exactly?" asked Richard really bothered
Yami crossed his arms around his chest. He wanted to hear what Kaiba was going to invent…
"It's an important object from the energy experiment; that was what made the energy be seen by the naked eye" he replied calmly
Yami uncrossed his arms, frowning. His friends did the same.
"Is he lying or is he saying the truth?" Yami couldn't be sure; he hadn't supervised the part of the machine assembly but that object didn't seem like part of a machine, it was gold for starter…
He turned to look at his friends and saw the same unsure expression he had on his face.
"Then this is a serious situation" Richard said and motioned for the police officers to enter
Yami saw a strange necklace on the female officer's neck, it had the strange eye that the pendant he had around his neck. He narrowed his eyes staring at that necklace and he could swear that it shined. The woman widened her eyes and turned abruptly to look at him scrutinizing his eyes intently.
He felt rare under that woman's gaze… he started to feel a headache, like when he tried to take off the pendant. He stumbled backwards a little. His friends noted it.
"Yami?" Joey asked
Gladly, in that moment his cell phone rang and he hurriedly picked it up
"Yugi?" he asked walking back away from that woman who hadn't stop staring at him
"Yes brother! I already am in the game shop with Mana and Grandpa"
"Ok, stay there. I will come back soon"
"Ok. Take care brother"
"I will" he hung up and heard Kaiba spoke again
"I assure you Richard I will find it" he said and Richard walked off
Kaiba stood there with these four police officers. They started to talk between them and Yami saw that woman staring at him in time to time.
"Guys, I think they are lying" Yami whispered at his friends who approached him more forming a little circle between them
"How do you know?" Nina asked
"Didn't you see the woman's necklace? It has the same estrange eye that the pendant" he said like if it was so obvious
"What necklace? She had none" Anzu said and all turned to look at the woman
They didn't saw anything.
"Yami are you feeling okay?" Serenity asked concerned. He was pale.
"What? Are you saying you don't see it?!" he exclaimed his heart beating faster. What was happening?!
"No…" they mumbled
Yami turned his head again towards the woman and hell she still was staring at him, and the damn pendant hanging in her neck! He grinded his teeth, he was going to end this staring annoyance now!
"But if you say there is one---" Anzu was cut off to see Yami walking rapidly towards the woman in question
"Wait!" she yelled and followed him, his friends did the same.
"Acting abruptly, he is losing patience now" Joey whispered, he was the one who knew Yami the most; he could by now read all his movements.
Yami arrived at the woman who had separated of her partners a little like foreseeing he was going to talk to her. He confronted her without restrains.
"Do I owe you something?" he asked rudely. She smiled and enigmatic one and took the breath out of Yami by what she said next.
"Don't worry pharaoh" she whispered "I'm not going to denounce you with him" she said signaling with her eyes at Kaiba
He felt like the world was spinning, and widened his eyes taking a step back in disbelief. His friends reached to hear what that woman had said.
"Hell no…" he whispered still staring at the woman not knowing now what to do.
"You mean you… that thing… then you…" Joey said nonsense, the woman closed her eyes
"This is not the time" she said rapidly "I will search you pharaoh"
"Isis!" Kaiba yelled with a huge frown, she smiled at Yami briefly with happiness in her eyes and turned to leave.
Yami just watched her walk away and saw Kaiba walk back at him. He was too shocked to start an argument with him right now, but it seemed he had no choice.
"Muto, we have to talk"
"I have nothing to talk to you" he simply replied
"Alone, now" he said in his coldest voice at his friends that were surrounding him like bodyguards or something
Yami just rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He didn't want his friends involved in this stuff. He turned to look at them and said with his eyes that it was ok, and go ahead. They nodded reluctantly and slowly started to walk away towards the main room. Anzu grabbed his hand and begged with her eyes to watch what he was doing, he nodded. She let him go and walked away behind her friends.
Yami watched her go and then turned to face Kaiba once more. He just hoped that his patience managed him, if not then heads were going to roll…
"You liar wimp" Kaiba spat at him with hate in his eyes
"What are you talking about?!" he said annoyed
"You know pretty much! Does 'we are just friends' sound a bell?!" he asked walking closer like if at any moment he would jump on him.
"Oh, that" he said smirking, he wanted to end that little theme right there and then
"I love her" he said firmly and slowly so it was not left place for the doubt
Kaiba was taken aback; he didn't expect him to be so direct. He growled.
"So finally you admitted it, and what about her?" he was so pissed off about Yami interfering between them
Yami smirked, he wanted to provoke him. He needed to unload all the heavy weight he was carrying, he wanted to let go some adrenaline to see if his body calmed down a little…
"Well," he shrugged "she seemed not to complain when we were…" he stopped on purpose and eyed his reaction "Why am I telling you this?" he asked like talking to himself
Kaiba didn't restrain himself more and launched at him with full force.
Yami dodged and then he suddenly remembered the promise he had made to Anzu.
"I don't want you to fight again, please. I don't like it. Promise me you wouldn't fight again" –she said taking his hands in hers and staring at his eyes intensely. Yami just sighed and closed his eyes.
How to stand those beautiful begging eyes? Definitely he was starting to have a few feelings towards her.
"I promise you. I will not fight again. For you" –He said opening his eyes and smiling at her –"Are you happy now?" –he asked in a mocking way and stood up off the chair.
"Shit, I let myself carry again by those negative emotions… I broke the promise" he kicked himself mentally. Now, there was no reverse, he made Kaiba furious… How to end that fight without fighting?
"Kaiba wait a second! This is not the time to fight, aren't you searching that pyramid thing?!" he yelled while dodging all the punches Seto threw.
"You provoke me and now you back off!!" he yelled angrily still trying to hit him.
By that time the workers realized they were fighting again, but didn't dare to step in the fight. Yami's friends noted it too and Anzu was going to run again to stop them but Joey restrained her.
"Kaiba what the hell is this show?!" again the voice of the director was heard. The workers that were staring at the fight from their positions turned to work again in the search.
Kaiba stopped and Yami looked at Richard walking towards them.
"Yeah Kaiba, why are you trying to punch me? I don't get it either" he asked wanting to hear what was he going invent now at the director, he was amused.
Kaiba growled at him. "It's no---" he suddenly stopped realizing something
His eyes caught a strange and somewhat familiar chain a little jut out of his jacket neck.
Yami realized his suddenly interest on his neck and he committed the mistake to look down at his neck.
The chain was at view, maybe because of him dodging Kaiba's attacks, so much movement made it jut out a little…
Kaiba acted so suddenly he didn't had time to think. He reached, grabbed the chain and pulled it out in one swift movement.
At view of all glistened a golden pyramid shape like object with a strange eye on its center…
