Recap: "Kaiba," L in a rare gesture placed his hand over Kaiba's. "If you continue down this road it will lead to hell, I may not be able to bring you back. He's a demon of the worst kind." L tried to smile between a mouths full of chocolate.

Seto brushed his free hand away, "Hell and I are old friends." Even Seto flinched as the monitor slowly revealed the inside of his home.

Chapter 25: Resolve

OOOOooooo

Seto's eyes roamed over the monitor, each scene caused his heart to harden a little more. Bit by bit all emotion drained from his heart. It dripped down the faucet called his heart until drops remained clinging to the edges. It didn't matter how much you tried to turn the knob, nothing came out.

"Seto Kaiba . . . are you with me. Perhaps one of these might clear your thoughts." L pushed a donut freshly dipped in chocolate near his finger tips. Seto held the key board in a tight grip with both hands; he was attempting to steady his breathing.

"I'm not a kid," Seto gripped the board harder.

"Oh well," the donut took another dunking and landing in L's sweet mouth. He licked his lips carefully not to drop a single bit.

Watari forever in attendance to his master's needs now had too extremely sensitive boys in his charge. Yes in his mind they were merely geniuses with exceptional needs that in the entire world he'd understood. Quietly he placed a tray with various fruits and coffee's designed for Kaiba next to the keyboard. Without looking up Kaiba took the small cup of steaming coffee and down the contents in one gulp.

L frowned at the tray and continued to eat his donuts, although his eyes wondered over the thin lips of the CEO, so much like his own. His toes curled up and he marvel as he watched the blood rush threw the veins along his delicate ankles. It had been a long time since the boy felt such a rush.

"Kaiba, I am not unfamiliar with this poison. It is one of many with shall we say 'unusual properties' Perhaps we can slow down the effect; with the right resources we can' fix the problem.'

"Don't play games with me, if it's money you need take it." Seto rose from his seat. He grabbed his stomach. Mokuba lying on the silken sheets closed in on his sanity. No words could describe the helpless he felt. Silently he screamed with Yami as the monitor unfolds the remaining scene.

"I've got to go!" Seto eyes glowed like a mad man. "Roland damn it get my coat."

"Master Kaiba, there is nothing you can do at the mansion but fall prey to the sickness." Watari spoke as calmly as he could. "Watch, the team has already arrived and the location surrounding your home has been quentine off. Give us a chance to help." Watari blocked the door and motioned for the CEO to have a seat.

"I have arranged for everyone to be taken to a private underground research lab? A friend owes us favors. Later we will have to move them again for security reasons." Watari offered more coffee; it was all he could do. Seto needed time alone to breath. He was like a caged animal.

"L . . . please come with me." Watari spoke sharply.

Watari frowned at his student, "L you're playing games and I don't like this."

"Sensei, whatever do you mean," L brought along the remaining chest board and settle down in a loveseat. He immediately focused his dark eyes on the monitor in front of his vision.

"He's not yours L." the white hair servant/ teacher knew L's ways.

"But I like him, and he's everything, Atari." L thought about his toes, his most sensuous zones and his cheeks flushed. Seto Kaiba even in grief stimulated his body. It had been a long time that he thought about something other than sweets. Well actually the vision of Seto covered in chocolate floated around in his head.' Damn that Watari he knew him to well.'

"He's in love with the other and you suggest you might be able to help. Don't hurt him so, my son . . . if you care. Give Seto the antidote without strings. Repair the damage to his family." Watari patted his wards head.

"But that's no fun. He's not a school boy . . . I want to bathe him in marshmallows just for a night. It's been so long." L pouted. "It's not fare, I never felt so alive."

"Son, we have a job to do, except the fact his heart has been taken by another." Watari left the lonely boy alone. It hurt to say the words, but L's personal habits required him to walk a lonely path. It was dangerous for him to fall in love.

"I don't care what he says; maybe Amelda will allow me to borrow him for a night." L smiled thinking about the prospect. But first he had to get the red head back in one piece to his lover. Furiously his fingers taped over the keyboard using two stokes, yet in moments he almost had the case solved.

In the room Seto watched the tape one last time. He imprinted the scene in his mind, never to be forgotten. It was because he'd become lost in love that this shit happen. 'Never again,' he thought. There was only one thing left to do send this man to hell. "Where is he, L get your sugar coated ass in here damn it!!" he screamed out.

"Mmm . . ." L in a rare moment chucked at the kind words, and continued to envision his twisted dreams. 'Seto's ass filled with a sugar coated dick that would dissolve so sweetly, made it difficult for him to walk into the next room.

"What is your desire, Seto Kaiba of Kaiba Corp.?" he purred.

"Here Watari said to give you this," L took the cup filled with something Kaiba didn't even want to think about. "You have complete access to my international network. This will get you into any hotel, airport, or transport system in the world." Seto gave the detective a flash card which he slipped into his own system. You also have a Swiss account with unlimited funds. My jet is on standby."

Seto stood firm watching the reaction of the strange man. He smelled of sweet cinnamon bread. L was fine bone like Ally. But not one inch of fat or defining muscles could be detected under his white shirt or blue jeans. In fact the clothes seem to devour the man. L reminded Seto of fine china; delicate, beautiful to watch, and priceless. 'Shit what in the world am I thinking,' in another time and place he would have gone after this jewel. Their minds were linked as no other that Seto knew.

"This is a copy of the letter he sent to my home:

So you choose death over life. I warned you not to go back, now they all will die. Should I let you pick the first one, How about the little one with the spiky hair, or his boisterous mate in the tree house, or maybe the blond he's hot, or better yet the tall brunette and his little twit of a brother. Or that crazy one, who destroyed my biker club, didn't get to taste his little kitten. . . . You always provided me with entertainment. So does your lover like the new you? Come back while I still desire you and maybe I will let them live. . . . I've planned special delights for everyone, just to show you how much I care. Be quick, because the thought of you fucking that bastard is pissing me off and we don't want that. Hurry home, my precious bitch.

Seto watched as L arranged the pictures of Ally's rape beside the letter. He punched in the link to the sex site and printed more pictures of Ally, but these appeared to have an address and other links. It hurt to see Amelda's dirty past laid out before his eyes, but it wasn't a secret; just something he'd buried a long time ago.

"He's my life, I don't care what you think," Seto whispered and slowly sunk down next to L on the sofa." The strain slowly started to take effect. For once Seto realize all his money meant nothing. Everything was in the hands of this one man. Everything . . . . . .

L knew the pictures would be Seto's undoing, after all he'd studied the workings of minds for years. But pain always came before pleasure. "We will have to infiltrate his organization and destroy him from the inside out. Do you understand that going into this corruption will change your lives forever? We will need someone without a soul, someone who is dead to human emotions. It is not you Seto, of that I am sure. It will take time."

L stole a glance at Seto and moved just a little closer, but first he removed the pictures from Seto's sight. With the tips of his fingers he lifted the letter up and viewed it from different angles. Watari took the letter from his finger tips and tore it to pieces along with the pictures.

"Evidence, I will give you back your brother and lover, but this is another matter, the devil is mine to do with as I please."

"Damn you, I don't want justice I want revenge, I don't want him in a neat little prison." Seto voice quivered.

"You are like fine wine, the nectar I will never taste in this life time, because I don't have much time. Don't ask me to dilute the wine with poison. Yes, he will burn in hell alone with all the others involved in his games of destruction. But it will be a hell I create. That is my payment . . . ." L smiled gently but it cracked in the corners of his mouth, it was a difficult gesture to make. This would be his last case and his most rewarding by far. Finally the devil he had chased for years would be his. Finally all the tools he needed to destroy this monster were his. Finally he had met a man he could love forever but it was too late.

Seto closed his eyes and whispered, "He's everything . . . . . Ally

R/r don't kill the beta, I didn't have one. Just enjoy.
