Hi, guys! Natalie here! Umm I literally have no idea what to say here right now, I just know I'm super excited for this chapter! As usual though, I'm going to congratulate Hannah on her fantastic job last chapter. But, without further adieu, here's the next chapter!

The world suddenly became less black to the brunet as he returned to consciousness. His vision straightened out and he noticed that he was back in his prison. The next feeling that came to him was the stinging pain digging into his temples. However, he was unable to move his arms. The brunet gazed down to see that he was bound to a chair using several layers of rope. Next, he tried to move his hands. They felt unbound, but as soon as he went to move them, a grip settled upon his wrists.

"Oh, you're awake." A voice from behind him said.

Oh great, the brunet thought as he rolled his eyes. Seto attempted to pry his wrists out of her grip, but she held on and soon secured them together using a ziptie.

"Honestly, Seto, there is no use struggling." Saeko told him. "There's no way you'll be able to try and escape again."

"Tch, you think a ziptie and some rope will get in my way? You're more delusional than I thought."

"Perhaps it won't, but this will." The blonde pushed back her blazer to reveal the gun at her hip once again.

"We'll see."

Saeko eyed him closely then grinned. "Why even bother struggling? Why not just stay here with me?" the blonde leaned in closer to him. Soon, she was hovering over his lap with her lips near his neck. "Don't resist it. I could even untie you so we can have some fun."

"My idea of fun doesn't have anything to do with you."

A sudden jolt went through the blonde. She quickly crawled off of him and reached for the gun at her hip. Seto glared to her where rage was only present in her eyes. Saeko lifted the gun and thrust it into the side of the brunet's head.

"Shut up!" she screamed.

Within seconds, the young CEO was unconscious once again. The blonde gritted her teeth and slowly put the gun back in its holster. She breathed heavily before glancing back to the brunet. She leaned closely to him.

"I'm sorry, Darling." She said as she placed a kiss upon his cheek. "I'll come back when you're feeling better, okay?"

"Sit down." Alissa said as she took a seat at the table in her apartment. Sakura complied and sat in the chair across from her.

The light-haired brunette looked around the room awkwardly. "You have a nice apartment." She said.

"Shut up. I didn't invite you in so you can mock me."

"I wasn't trying to-."

"Forget it. Just get on with it. What're the details about his disappearance?"

"Oh, well, you see-."

"Stop beating around the bush and just say it."

"Sorry. Well, the same night that we were at Burger World, I guess there was an emergency at Kaiba Corp, so he got called in. That was the last I heard of him. I went to his office to apologize about our fight, but he wasn't there."

"That's it?"

"Oh, no, there's this too." Sakura reached into her pocket and handed the dark-haired girl a folded slip of paper.

Alissa unfolded the slip and looked over the words.

"I noticed it was a bit odd, so I showed it to Mokuba and he confirmed that the writing wasn't Seto's."

"No shit. Are you really so dumb that you don't even know your boyfriend's handwriting?"

Sakura opened her mouth to retort, but stopped when she heard the door open. A red-haired male with steel-colored eyes entered the room with his arms full of groceries. He curiously looked between Alissa and their visitor.

"Oh, hey Ali," Alissa said. "Do you want some help with those?"

"That's alright, I can take care of it."

"Okay." She said as he leaned down to give her a peck on the lips. Alissa peered back to Sakura who was awkwardly sitting there staring at them. "This is Sakura, Seto's girlfriend."

"Oh, nice to meet you." Alister greeted, pausing to set the bags of groceries on the table in the kitchen.

"Hello."

The redhead looked back to his girlfriend. "Uh, Alissa, can I talk to you for a second?"

Alissa glanced back to Sakura briefly. "Sure. We'll be right back, okay?"

Sakura nodded as the couple disappeared down the hallway into the bedroom.

"What is it?" Alissa asked once the door was closed.

"Why is she here?" Alister questioned.

"Why does it matter?"

"Because I thought you hated her."

"I do, it's just… Look, apparently Seto went missing so she guilt-tripped me into helping her."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think it's safe to get involved."

Alissa released a huff of annoyance. "Can you just give me a direct answer?"

"Seto and you aren't dating anymore, there's no need to worry about it."

"Why is this suddenly your problem?"

"Because I'm worried about you."

"Psh, what are you? Jealous or something?" Alister blinked to her about to speak, but was interrupted. "Are you fucking serious? You're jealous over this?"

"No, Alissa-."

"So, you don't trust me? You really think I'm gonna find that prick and go screw him?"

"Alissa-."

"He has his own bitch to do that!"

"Alissa, stop!" The outburst left the dark-haired girl silent. "You've got it all wrong. I just don't want you getting hurt out there. Plenty of dangerous people go after Kaiba."

"Oh, so now you think I can't handle myself!"

"Alissa, you've been kidnapped before because of him and just barely escaped that! You don't know who you're dealing with! I don't want you to get yourself killed over something that's not your problem!"

"You really don't trust me, do you?"

"I never said-."

"No! I can never do anything because you always feel the need to baby me! You don't even want me to go to work alone anymore! Well, you know what, fuck you!"

"Alissa, don't walk away from this!"

"Too late!"

The dark-haired girl slammed the door behind her. She headed back out into the main room where Sakura hesitantly waited. She almost looked terrified.

"I-I'm sorry," the brunette began. "If it's too much trouble-."

"Forget it. We're leaving."

"What? Where to?"

"Kaiba Corp."

Seto impatiently sighed to himself. He had already been imprisoned for several days and it was slowly driving him mad. He had been bound together for those days, only being allowed out of his chair for frequent bathroom trips. Even then, his experience was silent. The only exception was when his captor came to visit him more frequently than he'd like. Just the sight of her was enough to sicken him.

The brunet's eyes narrowed. Where the hell is my security team? They should've tracked my position by now. Tch, I was led to believe they were competent. He grew distracted when he heard the click of the door unlocking. Great, just what I need to make my day worse. Saeko entered the small room and grinned to him.

"Good morning, Seto." Saeko greeted. Her greetings were the only way that the brunet could deduce the time of day.

Seto released a low sigh and turned away from her in response.

"I'm impressed with you, Darling. You've been very cooperative these past few days. Perhaps I should reward you."

Seto merely rolled his eyes.

"What would you like for your reward, Darling?" the blonde asked as she drew closer to him. "Would you like me?"

"Frankly, no."

"Hmm, you'll change your mind eventually." Saeko thought to herself briefly. "Oh, I know! You enjoy reading, don't you?"

"Hn, I'd rather enjoy getting out of here."

"Please control your attitude, Seto. It won't benefit you."

"Tch,"

"Hmm, let me think here. Oh! How about Thus Spoke Zarathustra? I've seen you read that quite a few times. I'm sure you'll like that."

"You don't know anything about me."

"Actually, I know everything about you, but that's a story for another time. We can talk once I return." Saeko grinned to the brunet before leaving the room.

Tch, you think you know everything about me? How delusional.

Sakura released a deep sigh. It was their second time at Kaiba Corp. and they weren't any closer to finding any evidence. They attempted to check any security tapes from the night of the young CEO's disappearance, but nothing came up nor had any of the employees noticed anything suspicious.

"I don't get it," the light-haired brunette began. "Why hasn't anything shown up?"

"Who knows?" Alissa said as she sat in Seto's desk chair and kicked her feet onto the desk.

"Maybe if I hadn't gotten so upset at him that night, this never would've happened."

"Yeah, that was a poor decision on your part."

"Alissa, I know we're not on great terms right now, but you don't have to act so immature."

Alissa stomped her feet back to the ground and glared to the brunette. "What'd you just say to me?"

"I said you're acting immature."

"Look bitch, I could walk right out that door in five seconds. If you don't want my help, then just say so."

"You're right, I'm sorry."

"You should be," Alissa muttered.

"Look, Alissa, I never got the chance to say thank you for helping me. I know it's probably uncomfortable for you to do so, but I really appreciate it."

"Stop mocking me."

"What? No, I'm not trying to."

"It sounded like it."

"Alissa, I'd never-."

"Sorry, forget it."

Is she seriously still mad with me? Sakura thought. I didn't think she'd hold that much of a grudge.

God, what a fucking priss, Alissa said to herself. Seto probably got himself kidnapped just to get away from her.

An awkward silence fell between the duo. Neither girl made a move to continue conversation with the other. However, both of their attentions were raised when they heard the door opened. A blonde woman with a Kaiba Corp name badge peered through the doorway. At first, she seemed shocked but then collected her composure.

"Oh, pardon me," she said with a smile. Damn, what're those two doing here? Oh well, I prepared for this. "I'm just here to drop off this week's financial reports."

"Mr. Kaiba isn't here obviously." Alissa said. I don't get it, why does she seem so familiar? Where have I seen her before?

"Yes, but if he were to return and discover that there aren't any reports, I'd most certainly be fired." The blonde gave a nervous chuckle.

Sakura eyed the woman carefully. "What's your name?"

"Saeko."

Sakura faked a gentle smile. "Okay, we'll put in a good word for you when he returns."

"Thank you. Have a good day." The blonde set the reports down on the desk before turning back to the door.

As soon as she left, Alissa lunged for the financial reports. She looked them over carefully. "These are last week's reports."

"Really?" Sakura stood up from the couch and leaned over the desk. "Oh my God. Do you think she's the one that took him?"

"Obviously she is. She acted weird from the start." Alissa turned the chair to Seto's computer and powered it up. "Seto has a database for everyone that works at Kaiba Corp. If she really is an employee here then we'll know where to find her."

Once the computer was set up, Alissa entered the database and typed in the woman's first name. "She's the only person named Saeko that works here?" Sakura questioned.

"Apparently so. Saeko Ichii, huh?"

"Where does she live?"

"Just outside of town. It's about half an hour away."

"Are we going?"

"Hell yeah we are."

Saeko reentered her home with a low groan. Shit. Those two were almost onto me. Hm, no matter, they'll never find me. The blonde released a breath and headed for the basement. She made her way down the narrow stairs and reached the doorway to her lover's prison. She brought out the key from her pocket and unlocked it to find the brunet where she had left him.

"Oh Darling, I've made a horrible mistake." She said.

"Your first mistake was kidnapping me," Seto replied.

"Seto, I'm very sorry. I wasn't able to grab your book."

"Yes, cause that's the least of my concerns."

"I will make it up to you though."

The blonde crept closer to him before she went to sit upon his lap. She grabbed a hold of both sides of the brunet's face so he couldn't shake away and crushed her lips upon his. She bit down roughly on his lower lip, causing the young CEO to gasp allowing her full access to his mouth. In response, Seto quickly closed his jaw until it made contact with her tongue. The blonde suddenly pulled away from him.

"Oh, feeling a little naughty today, are we?"

"You're disgusting."

"Oh, don't say that, Darling. You just don't know how to properly kiss a person, but that's why I'm here."

Seto went to respond, but stopped when he heard a loud banging from upstairs. Saeko's heart stopped. Oh no, have they found me? The blonde quickly lunged for the closet at the other end of the room. She opened the door and took down several pieces of cloth and a roll of duck tape. She rushed back to the brunet when he began yelling hoping whoever was outside could hear him. Saeko proceeded to stuff a piece of cloth in his mouth and secure the tape around his head. She then took the next piece of cloth and used it to blindfold him.

Okay, he's safe, she thought. But what if they come into the basement? The blonde looked around the room before seeing the closet. She grabbed the back of the chair the brunet sat in and dragged him along across the floor. The task proved to be difficult from the weight and the CEO's constant struggling. Although, she managed to get the chair into the closet. Saeko peered back to the brunet.

"You'll be alright, Seto. I won't let anybody take you away from me."

The last thing the brunet heard was the closet door slam in front of him.

And that's the chapter! This chapter was hella fun to write xD I love writing bitchy Alissa! Also Saeko was creepy af and I loved it. Oh, and for those wondering, the book (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) is the book that Seto is seen reading in the first episode of the series. I thought it would be really fun to include. Anyways! Hannah's writing next and we're REALLY excited to watch shit keep going down! So tell us what y'all think and thank you!
