Being this story is almost done, I decided to finish this off, then start on my next story. It was a lot of fun. It's not popular enough for a sequel, but it was still fun, while it lasted. Review please!
I was home by myself, since I imagine Mom was with the police to investigate what went on at her job. I knew this put a lot of stress on her, but it was worth it for what I did for Seto and Makala. I did phone Seto as soon as I got home, Joey watching some stupid Michel Bay film to get his mind off things.
"You are safe from Gozoburro, but your name is still out there. What I want to know is what you plan on doing?" Seto asked, me thinking through everything.
"I guess keep doing what I'm doing. This city is violent enough as it is and someone's got to do something. Unless the police start giving a f**k without our help, and not just toward those with money in their pockets, then I'm going to keep at it," I said, leaning against the wall.
"You do realize this won't be the last time you're put in danger and next will be your family, even with your secret identity. What are you gonna do, if your parents find out?"
I sighed, then stared at Joey, who was still watching the stupid movie I couldn't remember the title of, except it was by Michael Bay and starred Megan Fox. I bit my lips, then turned around, facing the kitchen.
"I have a backup plan. More than that, I'm not alone. I've got friends that have my back," I promised.
"Hehe I hope it isn't just my sister and me. You can't always depend on us to save your ass. You're going to need a bigger group and blondie can't be your only group," Seto advised.
"I've got it covered. I'll face whatever comes my way."
"We'll be keeping watch. You're still new at this. If you've got any questions or concerns, come to us."
"You got it. Thanks, Seto," I grinned. "Bye!" I hung up before hearing the the phone ring again. I pressed the call button. "Hello?"
"Hey Yugi! Did you watch the News?" Hanasaki, the caller, asked.
"Yeah... I hope Mom's okay. I can't imagine what she must've gone through," I muttered, already remembering the look on Mom's face when she shot that guard.
"There's rumors that Yu-Gi-Oh was there, but nobody is sure. The police haven't found any trace of evidence pointing to who the killer was."
"Who knows?" I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck.
"So... how was the project coming along?"
"Good... listen, when you have a moment, there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Sure, I've got time after school tomorrow."
"Thanks a lot, bud."
"Sure."
"Cool. I'll see ya tomorrow. Bye."
"...Bye."
I never knew about this until after I wrote this entire story, so you could say this is an extra. While I was worrying about telling Hanasaki or not about my secret, forming a group and what to do about my Yu-Gi-Oh thing. Mom had other plans.
"I'LL KILL HIM! I saw Yu-Gi-Oh! He killed my father! I will kill him for that! KILL HIM!" Noa screamed at the top of his lungs, while Mom focused on taking deep breaths. She was still in shock about what she had witnessed.
"Are you sure you didn't see anything?" The police asked.
"As I said. I saw two figures fighting against the guards. I fired once and shot one of them, then they left. I broke down and..." Mom lied before crying hurtful tears. She didn't want the officers to know what really happened and what she saw. Being the cameras and evidence only went as far as two figures attacking the guards, Mom shooting once, then the figures killed the guards before killing Gozoburro. One of the guns went missing, so it was clear that one of us took that gun and shot one of the guards.
"Take it easy, Mrs. Moto. That's all we need to know," the police replied.
Mom waited, eyes staring at the chaos of policemen trying to figure out what went on in Kaiba Corporation. It took almost forever before she was allowed to leave. Then, she went inside her car, and got out her iPhone. She dialed a number, wiping fake tears she forced herself to pour. I didn't know Mom was so good at making crocodile tears until recently. Wow!
"Hello?" My grandpa answered.
"Good, you picked up. Listen, I was thinking of returning for more training, Dad."
"Hohoho This is surprising. Didn't you say you gave up classes to raise a family?"
"I did... but I have a teenage son that has... chosen a very dangerous hobby."
"Sounds like it does run in the family, after all."
"No... this one is worse. I can relate to him, unfortunately, and know I can't stop him... but, I do want to check up on him in whatever he does."
"Does my son know about this?"
"No, he doesn't and a part of me hopes he doesn't for a LONG while. You know what he's like toward... this kind of stuff. I'm going to have to find a way of bringing it up to him without him trying to do something... drastic."
"How do you plan on checking up on Yugi?"
Uka chuckled sarcastically, replying, "do what all the normal parents do when their child joins a questionable hobby. Rather watch from the sidelines or join along."
"Hohoho then, this should be interesting."
"Yeah Dad, it sure is."
What happened later after that phone call is another story.
