Five years, it'd been five years since Jou had started working for Hikoro, five years since he last saw a building as big as this one.
He gaped in awe as he walked towards the front door. Hundreds of guests were piling in, wearing their big, expensive tuxedos, carrying their small martini glasses, complete with the green olive and everything.
The banquet had started out on the lawn earlier that night; there were violin players at each gazebo, playing soft and comforting music. Their steady notes wafted through the soft night air, creating a harmonious mixture when combined with the lazy, summer cricket chirps.
Jou had snooped around the grounds looking for the chips, the earlier he got them the earlier he'd get out of there. He could picture Yugi waiting anxiously for him back at the tenement house.
He momentarily removed his mask, which just so happened to be a fox one. Yugi had found it funny when they went looking for a costume earlier, and his voice rang in Jou's head "Sly as fox you are Jou . ." Yugi's light laughter followed. Honey eyes scanned the grounds. No sign of any mysterious boxes, armored vehicles, or anything else that could possibly contain the chips.
A sigh escaped his lips, nothing at all, looked like he'd have to go in.
They entered into a giant ballroom. The crystal chandelier dangled from the dome-shaped roof. Jou's jaw dropped. Painted on the dome were exact scenes from the Sistine Chapel. It looked as delicately painted as if Michelangelo himself came back to do it.
The static of a microphone was heard and all eyes turned towards a raised platform near the door.
A middle-aged man wearing a brown suit and glasses cleared his throat. "Welcome, Welcome! Thank you all for coming! The chips will be showcased at exactly the stroke of midnight, until then, feel free to dance, drink, the bar is to your right, or anything else you please!" He motioned to a large seated wet bar which was already busy catering to people eager to get drunk for whatever reason.
//I wonder if that's Kaiba// Jou thought to himself. He glanced at his watch 9:00, rolling his eyes as he pulled out of the crowds. No way was he going to wait three hours, and what kind of amateur did they think he was? He wasn't going to steal the chips when half of Domino's eyes were on them.
* * * * * * * * * *
Quietly, Jou turned down the nearest hallway, and headed for the stairs. He'd scour the whole house if he had to. It was for their freedom.
So many rooms, he's long since lost count of how many there were,. He'd almost gotten caught four times, three times by different security guards and once by a small boy with long, messy black hair. He swore he could still hear the boy following him.
"Ni-sama!!!" Mokuba burst into his brother's study panting from running.
"What is it Mokuba?"
"There's a weird guy in a mask walking around!"
His brother cocked an eyebrow. "Well, this is a masquerade ball . . ."
Mokuba shook his head, half annoyed and half panicked. "No, he's not with the others in the ballroom!! He's running around the halls!"
"Do you want me to take a look Mokuba?" the older of the two asked, still skeptical.
Mokuba nodded and clung to his brother as they walked out. "Ni-sama, what if he's dangerous?"
"It's okay Mokuba, I bet he's just part of your imagination"
Mokuba sighed. "I swear he's not! He was on the fourth floor when I saw him, he's just . . . walking around!"
They walked silently up the spiral staircase onto the fourth floor. Jou heard the soft footsteps creaking on the wood. Hearing two sets of feet, he turned the corner to see the boy who tailed him earlier followed by someone much taller, Jou's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him.
He had never seen anyone like him before. He was tall, and had light brown hair. It looked so soft.his fingers twitched almost of their own volition. Then, he saw his eyes and was lost completely.
Deep blue, like sapphires or deep pools of ocean water. They caught and held his gaze, piercing. It was almost as if they could see into his soul.and he wondered if he really minded. Jou suddenly had an urge to spring from his hiding spot, introduce himself, and find out who the two were. Okay, maybe he didn't give a shit about the small one, but he felt that if he didn't find out who the other one was he would kill himself then and there.
But what would he say? "Hi, my names Jounouchi, I'm here to steal the sapphire chips, would you please tell me whether I should check in the door on your right or the one on the left?"
Jou rolled his eyes at his own stupidity. The voices becoming louder and clearer caused his vigilance to return. He plastered himself against the wall, holding his breath, he could swear that each beat of his heart got louder and louder, and was amazed the two didn't turn and find him from the sound alone.
"Ni-sama!! But he was here! I promise!!"
"Mokuba, I don't have time for this! I'm sure you just saw someone's shadow, maybe one of the security guards? I mean, the sapphires are in the library so no one would be around here"
Jou's hands flew to his open mouth to stifle the laughs of joy that had escaped his lips as if by reflex. //That's it . .// he thought to himself.
The younger boy sighed again. "Okay, let's go"
Slowly their footsteps echoed away, and silent minutes ticked by before the blonde left his hiding spot, in search of the library.
* * * * * * * * *
Jou reached an intricately carved wood door of the library in no time and quietly turned the brass handle. He was sure this was the library, he'd seen all the books when he'd passed it an hour ago. Soft light danced across the volumes and volumes of books, the only source of illumination was a cracking fireplace radiating warmth in the corner of the massive room. Jou sighed as he glanced at his watch again. He had twenty minutes to find them.
"Looking for something?" A cold, sarcastic voice suddenly breathed down the thief's back. Jou didn't want to turn around, he didn't want to see his life destroyed in a single moment, but he had no choice.
He span around to answer but froze when he once again came face to face with him. The one he had seen walking up the stairs with the boy. The blood stopped flowing through Jou's body and he swallowed the lump in his throat. He wasn't going to say anything, he was going to fight.
