Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and have anything related in the making. I don't own any characters. The original character that I own is Kairi and her parents....... Ok maybe the name has been in my other fictions and isn't that original, but it's hard for me to think of a Japanese names and I like that one =)

Chapter 27

"Son, I'm going to the office just a little while and I will be back in time for the wedding" Mr. Takashi spoke lightly to his son.

"Yes father....... I love you" Seth hugged his father as a final goodbye as he knew what was in store for him.

Confused as Mr. Takashi was he gratefully accepted his affections and left.

"Is it set up?" Seth spoke to a man position behind him.

"Yes, your father will die a fast and painless death" The man whipped out of the dark shadows.

"And Kairi?"

~*~

"Come in" Kairi stood up from her bed when she heard knocks from her door.

"Mistress Kairi" The browned haired man walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hi......um......I never got your name" Kairi asked

The man looked shocked.

"Is there something wrong?" Kairi noticed his fainted expression.

"No...... it's just......that...... no one has really ask my name before"

"Well there's a first time for everything" Kairi smiled sweetly.

'She so beautiful and kind' the man thought

"Well?" Kairi questioned.

"What?" The slim browned haired man staggered.

"Your name?" Kairi repeated.

"It's been so long...... I don't even remember" The man laughed.

'I can't kill her..... she so sweet...... How can I tell Master Takashi I cannot kill her?" he thought deep inside.

"I must go..... I came to check up on you..... You should know the timing....... The ceremony will be tonight" He quickly left.

~*~

"Give me the address!" Seto screamed.

"I already did....... You asked me to print it out and there it is" The computer sounded bored.

Seto looked and sure enough there it was the address to Takashi mansion. Seto quickly grabbed it and ran out of his secret office and quickly to his helicopter.

"Big brother!" Mokuba saw him run out.

Seto didn't hear him as he just kept walking towards his destination.

"Seto!" Mokuba screamed.

This time Seto had heard him and turned around hoping this will be a quick meeting.

"Where are you going?" Mokuba asked.

"To Kairi" Seto quickly answered not wanting him to ask anymore.

Mokuba finally figured out that Seto had just found Kairi after restless nights and days Mokuba left it at there and pretended everything was alright.

"Ok, Can Sandra come over?" Mokuba tried to end it quickly.

"Yes" Seto immediately left without giving a second thought.

'Go find her and bring her back Seto, for you and Sandra' Mokuba watched his leave.

Kairi looked in the mirror. It reflected the useless dirt that she was, her dull eyes giving notice to no one.

Kairi sighed and she opened her drawn. It hid her last moment plan of escape; she did not want to be wed to Seth. She laid it next to her comb and she opened her diary.

Kairi picked her pen and wrote her final entry.

Dear Diary,

Tonight is the night where I am suppose to be wed to Seth......... I cannot go through with this......... I do not love him....... I cannot give myself to someone I cannot love....... The man I truly love is........ I am afraid to even say his name now....... Seto Kaiba...... I did not want to believe that I held such a place for him....... I tried so hard...... But this is what is meant to happen to me...... I leave you with this...... Love is a virus..... Once it affects you...... It can never be cured -Kairi

Kairi closed her diary and locked it. She took one last look at her room she stayed at. Kairi took a deep breath and she closed her eyes as she picked her object of escape.

"Mr. Takashi........... I'm afraid I have some bad news for you" A servant who had just received a call bowed down to Seth.

"What is it?" Seth already knew it was about his father's death and he smiled inside.

"I'm sorry Mr. Takashi....... I know this is your wedding day...... but......... You're father was just coming back from the office....... when a driver had crashed into him" It hurt the servant to say so.

"What?" Seth acted. "Is he alright? How is he? Where is he?"

"I'm sorry ........ But the fuel tanks on each car had exploded and your father and his driver were both burned to death"

"What? How can this happen? On such an eventful day?" Seth's face was in shocked and in pain, but his heart was joyful and in his mind he though of how the company was all his.

"I'm sorry Sir"

~*~

"Computer" Seto nearing Cameroon City.

"Yes?" It answered.

"Can you get Kairi's heat signature back to the Kaiba Lab" Seto commanded.

"May I ask why?"

"In case I ever lose her again" Seto saw his target and check the address on his piece of paper.

Seto landed, which caused servants and maids to rush out to see the target of noise. Followed them was Seth Takashi.

~*~

"Ah... How clever of Mr. Kaiba to send me a heat signal of Kairi..... I must have underestimated him" Kairi's program spoke.

"Can you get out of my system?" Kaiba's computer tried to regain her space.

"Your creator has never disabled me...... I'm stuck here" Kairi's program laughed.
