Beep. Beep. Beep.

The steady blare of an overhead alarm rang out through the corridors of the building, warning loudly that there was something terribley amiss. Something was very wrong indeed. Red lights marked the ceilings and walls, searching out those who did not belong there.

Silently, unseen, two figures made their way stealthily down the hall. The first, held up his hand to signify a halt, and both slipped into the shadows. Just in time. A patrol of black clad guards strode down the hall quickly, trying to flush them out.

//Anywhere you countinue to go//
//Lights & Shadows will draw pictures of death//
//The world's painting appears before my eyes//
//Are you puzzled?//

"Come in, A-1 patrol. The North Wing is secure", barked the leader as he led his troops away from the targets.

~*~

"Close one, ne, Naga?", chuckled the first, violet eyes laughing at the foolishness of those who tried to catch them through blonde bangs.

"Hai, Viper", the other replied, pale hair shadowing an equally pale face whose expression was unreadable.

The first, Ishtal Marik, code name Viper, just shrugged his sholder lightly to signified that he really didn't care too much. Brushing some stray strands of hair out of his tanned face, Viper looked into the halls.

"Cost is clear. Contact the others, will ya?", the blonde asked.

"Hai."

//I can't see the things, colors//
//The beginning of sadness//
//While gods and demons dance over my ego//
//My anger is constant//

Serpent. Cobra. This is Naga. Viper has deemed the place safe. The telepath, Bakura Ryou, mentally notified his teammates.  A soft laugh rang in Ryou's head, telling him that he had reached Serpent, or Motou Yuugi.

Naga-kun, remember last time Viper told us it was safe? You nearly got some of your hair cut off.

Sigh. Don't remind me.

Naga waved his hand cutting the mental link. Above the two assasins, the vent rattled slightly as the door was pushed open. Two figures slipped through and landed on the ground silently behind them.

"Well, that was pretty easy!", congratulated the first and the taller of the two, Cobra, Jounouchi Katsuya, "Piece o' cake."

"Now, all we have to do is find the target!", chirped the other, Yuugi, "And according to Naga's contact, he should be in the room down the hall."

//Lights & Shadows are manipulating me!//
//Dark ...My Shadows & Your Lights.// 
//The lamp's light is burning//
//Sincerity is always fleeting//

Marik shrugged again and asked, "So, same groups?"

"Of course!"

~*~

"I want the whole building secured! No-one gets in or out!", roared a very rolly oplly sort of man, sitting in a large La-Z Boi chair, "NO-ONE, you here?!"

"Hai, Tenkou-sama", replied the remaining guards instantly, turning and walking out of the room and closing the door behind them.

They didn't get very far.

Outside of his 'secure' office, Mazaki Tenkou could hear some scuffling noises. He shuddered. Those stupid guards should be more quiet, he thought to himself angrilly. Grr.. He was surrounded by useless idiots.

//The reason for the scribbling in the basement//
//Is it fate?//
//It's not a pianist on that red piano//

Idiots.

The door creaked open again, admitting the same four guards. They shuffled in, helmets on low over their faces and gaze locked on the ground. Something was amiss…

"I thought I told you to guard the building!!", barked the round man, pounding his chubby fist on the desk.

Whish!!

"Oh, did you?", commented the first guard, releasing his light blonde hair from the grip of the helmet and grinning at the cooling corpse, "Whoops…"

Yuugi went over to the dead man and gingerly removed his dart, grimacing. He didn't like killing. Didn't do it unless he had to. But, of course he had to. He was an assasin. It'was what assasins did. Besides, Kamisadae-san would throw an awful fit if the 'Hikari' didn't get their targets.

//To know the number of crimes//
//To do business with a heartless god//
//It's the wall you can't see, the voice,//
//Lights & Shadows are dragging me along!//

"Dat was quick", observed Jou, blinking and also removing his helmet from around golden locks, "Nice work, Yug."

"Shush!", warned Ryou, "You never know when someone's watching!"

"Sorry", code name Cobra muttered, scratching his head and grinning apoligently, "Forgot. So, good work, Serpent!"

"Arigato, Cobra," replied the addressed.

WHISH!!!

Suddenly, from hidden holes in the wall, four darts flew through the air, peircing each boy in the sholder.

//Dark ...My Shadows & Your Lights.//

Jou quickly whirled around and caught his squarely between his thumb and index finger, grinning away like a fool. However, the others took theirs just as squarely in the sholder, causing a slightly flow of blood.

"K'so..", cursed Marik, removing the dart, "Probably poisoned…"

Ryou removed his and winced slightly, "If Mazaki wasn't dead, I'd read his mind and tell you."

"Don't worry guys, it's nothing Sonoka-san can't cure…", encouraged Yuugi, not exactly smiling as he pulled the mini arrow from his sholder.

"Forget the darts, we killed Mazaki Tenkou, so let's get back to HQ, alrighty folks?", suggested Cobra, "Or we can stay a let the guards figure out what's going on."

//The beginning of sadness//     
//While gods and demons dance over my ego//
//My anger is constant//
//Lights & Shadows are manipulating me!//

With a slient nod, it was agreed. And four guards exited the room and into the night. No-one suspected a thing.

//Dark ...My Shadows & Your Lights.//
