Happy Halloween boys. Guess what your Halloween surprise is? The sarcastic voice of the Hikari's official mission messenger, Erikasaki Hanako, monotoneously drawled in Ryou's head.
"Guess what the Halloween surprise is", the white haired boy reported, sighing lightly as he opened his eyes a little to look at his friends while trying to maintain the mental link with Hanako.
"Uhm.. the day off?", asked Jou, munching on a donut, happily curled up warmly in the cusioned seat by the fireplace, "Or a raise?"
Cobra says the day off or a raise.. Naga commented, chuckling mentally a little. His friends always thought of the funny things. Hmm.. nice try. Erikasaki-san replied blandly. But wrong. Acutally, you get a new mission.
Ryou sighed and placed his chin in his palm. He had so hoped he would get the holiday off to spend with the rest of the Hikari. He shifted slightly on the couch before turned to his friends.
"Two words. New mission."
"Awww man…", groaned Marik from his spot at the other end of their couch, "Doesn't Tetsue ever give us a break?"
The other assasins shook their heads. Of course not. Kamisadae-san never gave anyone a break until they worked so hard that all they did during thre break was sleep. Marik knew the answer, but, it never hurt to ask, right? Wrong.
Mission data, onegai, Erikasaki-san. The albino told the female at the other end, reluctantly keeping the link open. Don't call me that. Makes me sound old. Snapped Hanako, mentally glaring at poor Ryou feircely. Hmph.. You're supposed to hunt down a business man who has been proding into Tetsue-chan's business.
Tetsue-chan? She lets you call her that? Asked the telepath, clearly shocked. Iie, actually, but no-one can hear us in your mind, right? Replied Hanako, her voice a little hesistant.
"Hanako-san called the boss 'Tetsue-chan'", muttered Naga, closing his eyes a little, "Imagine that."
Yuugi blinked and chuckled in reply, sitting down in between Marik and Ryou, "Kamisadae-san would kill us on the spot. Or worse. Fire us."
Name? Location? Continued Ryou, slightly impatient at all the useless talk. Tamurashi Genji. An old laboratory on the outskirts of Domino. Tetsue wouldn't tell me much more. She seemed a little uncomfortable. But you know What I think, I think-
He cut the link without another thought. Hanako was known the ramble, and he had gotten his information. Ryou honestly wasn't trying to be rude, but, one can only use to gifts one has for so long. It was extreamly tiring after a while, and he would need his powers for the mission.
"Tamurashi Genji. A lad on the outskirts", commented he, massaging his temples, "We better get going. It's already 8:45, we're losing time."
"Couldn't agree with you more!", Jou answered, jumping up from his place by the warmth of the fire.
"Alright, same groups as always. Viper and Naga, Cobra and I."
~*~
"They're coming, doctor", reported the leader of the dark forces, standing a few feet away from Genji in the shadows where he belonged, "Bakura has affirmed it."
"Very good, just as Kiram had predicted and you forsaw", chuckled the adressed, rubbing his hands together eagerly, "Go, prepare yourself and your brothers. Oh yes, and, and don't forget to.. pick your dance partners, if you don't mind me saying so."
"Doctor…", began Yami, firmly set on getting an answer, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you."
Questions? This was not in the original planning. Perhaps he had made a mistake in his calculations, for these clones were not supposed to have conscience or emotions. That was, afterall, what made them the perfect soldiers.
"Ask quickly!", commanded Genji, impatiently tapping his foot, "I don't have all night!"
"Why is it, doctor, that you hate target, Kamisadae Tetsue, and her assasin group?"
"Because you have been faithful, I will tell you. But, later. I must leave."
"Yes, doctor." With a short nod, the blonde banged psycic clone turned and left the room, leaving his creator alone with his insane, crazy self.
"Come, children of light, come and find me…", murmurred Genji, pulling on his jacket, "But, I won't be here to find.. hehehehehe…Oh, Tetsue, you will regreat leaving me behind…."
~*~
"Why do I always have to check the perimeter?", grumbled Marik, as he and his partner slipped in through a window, "I'm always doing these things!"
"Please, just be quiet and do it!"
"Alright already!", code name Viper stealthily turned the corner and returned before you could say 'teen assasins'. He nodded to Ryou, causing light blonde locks to shift from their possition, framing his tanned face. Marik flashed the white haired boy and wink and thumbs up.
Serpent. Cobra. This is Naga. Coast is clear. Naga mentally reached out for Yuugi or Jou's mind, making sure not to accidently contact someone else. Serpent here. Thanks. I don't think I need to remind you about that one time Viper said that it was safe and you al- No, Serpent, you don't. Replied Ryou dryly, trying not to sound annoyed. He was, but he didn't like to hurt others' feelings.
Okay, we're coming in through the window after you, Naga.
Without much more than a rustle of clothes, the shortest assasin followed by his blonde partner slipped in through the broken window. He grinned and gave them the 'V' for victory sign. Ryou gave a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Now that all five of us are accounted for…", began Cobra.
Yuugi blinked and asked confused, "Five of us?"
"Yeah", continued Jou, "Naga, you, me, Viper, and that oth-"
"Well, hello, Hikari. My comrades and I have been expecting you", a soft voice dangerously whispered.
"Oh man..", Cobra gulped, "He's sooo not one of us!"
Yuugi shuddered, he knew the person was behind him. He could feel their breath tickle the back of his neck. It made him edgey. He wanted to turn around, but he couldn't he just…
Serpent, he's behind you. Warned Ryou. And I can feel his power. It's weird, it's sort of like…
Your own.
Ryou cut the mental link.
"He's a telepath, run!! RUN!! NOW!!", Ryou shouted, twisting around between Yuugi and the stranger, giving his ally a shove, "GO!!"
"Wha-", began Jou again, confusingly backing away.
"You heard the boy, RUN!!", yelled Marik, pushing Cobra ahead of him at full speed, "Run run run run run!"
"Go, Serpent. I can handle him", whispered Ryou, fearfully gulping. The mental power.. so strong is mades his knees want to give out from under him.
"Alright, arigato and good-bye!", Yuugi shouted, pulling out some darts and turning down a different hall, "We will suceed!! Be strong!!"
As soon as he friend has disappeared, Ryou commented softly, "You let them go."
"Smart boy, aren't you?", replied the figure, stepping out from the darkness, "But of course, I knew that."
"Oh.. Kami-sama… you're.. you're…a.. clone!!", choked the original, backing into a wall, "You're just like me!"
"I'm not a clone!", hissed his look-a-like, composure dropping like an old mask, "I'm a person! I'm Bakura!"
"But.. but.."
"Shut up!", the one who had identified himself as 'Bakura' commanded, raising up a hand to threaten Ryou with mental power.
Ryou did the first thing he could think of. Using his gift, he threw his hands out and lifted the nearest object, a painting, and made it fly at the enemy.
But nothing happened. No crash, no cry of pain.
"Nice try, but not quite good enough. You see, we're everything you aren't. And, weakling, I'm everything you're never going to be."
~*~
"Can't you run any faster, Cobra?", panted Marik, sprinting down the halls, "For an assasin, you're slow!!"
Jou glared at his comrades back. He was not slow, he could run just as fast as all the others! Grr.. He's show that stuck up Egyptian boy… He'd..
Smack.
"OW!! Why'd you stop
running?", Jou growled angrilly, rubbing his head, "The least you could have
done is warned me!!"
"I think that something is very wro- MMMPH!!!!"
~*~
Seto-kun and I have Cobra and Viper!! ^__^ Weee! I did such a good job! Tell me a did a good job! Did I do a good job? The youthful voice of Kiram rang happily inside Yami's head as he strode down the darkened corridors of the laboratory in which he had been born. Well done. Bring them to the main lab.
OKAY!!! I'm going to bring them fast!! Kiram chirped, cutting the mental link with his leader.
I'll find you… The dark one moved silently, hunting for his prey… Kiram and Seto had already caught theres… He was going to find his as well… Besides, how hard could it be? His team was the elite version of the elite. Like king of kings. Yami was rather convinced that the darkness was invincible…
Serpent. Let me into your mind… His mind's voice whispered, searching… searching for the young innocent mind…
Naga? Naga.. I'm kinda scared.. I sorta think I'm lost… The soft reply tinkled in Yami's mind. It was more innocent then he had first expected. Perhaps he had over-estimated his opponent. Surely this 'Yuugi Motou' could be no more than a mere child.
Where are you? Yami asked sharply, lengthing his stride. Tell me.
Naga-kun, is something wrong? You don't sound like yourself… Doubt rushed in like a wave upon the shadow warrior. He couldn't have the little light doubting now could he? I'm just worried. Yami tried his best to make his voice sound apologetic. Please?
Okay, Naga, I trust you. Hmm.. so very naiive… I'm near this big metal door.. It seems like a sort of HQ or something.
Of course.
Yami shut off the link and turned around, heading for the main security room. He chuckled softly and allowed himself the luxery of a small smirk.
