Tornado: I am so happy! I got two reviews on my first chapter! Thank you Li and Angel-soul03 for reviewing.
DT: We didn't get a good response to the pairings here.
Tornado: Tea/Seto is disgusting, but I didn't have another female character to place him with.
DT: What about Serenity?
Tornado: Could you imagine how that would go over with Joey?
DT: Good point, but Tea?
Tornado: From the chapter that has been posted, do you honestly think that every person that I mention will be alive at the end?
DT: Good point, and with your gruesome brain, I think that the first chapter was a watered down version of beer.
Tornado: Oh trust me it was. Don't own Yugioh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nobody had suspected a thing last night. It was the first thing on the morning news that Mellor was dead, but they had nothing to connect Joey and me to the murder. It was announced that it seemed to be a murder/suicide, but authorities were still looking. I chuckled when they said that the woman's identity was not found on the scene, not that it mattered because we weren't there, and that was that.
I came downstairs to find Mokuba watching the news. His face was contorted into a look of horror as the details were released. His head immediately shot in my direction as I came down the stairs. His face was full off worry.
"What's wrong, little brother?" I asked.
"Did you see the news? About Mellor having his throat slit?"
"Yeah. Shame, he was a good guy."
"What if something like that happens to you, Seto?"
"It would take a sniper, not some slut off of the street."
"You should think about that though. I mean, you go on these business trips, and stay in those hotels. What if someone does do that to you?"
"Mokuba, there is a key difference here. I don't pick girls up off the street, and I have security straight outside my door."
"How do you know there wasn't security?" he interrogated.
"It was on the news earlier," I lied.
"Oh, okay. Can we go to school early?"
"Why?"
"There's no reason," he said all too quickly.
"Uh-uh, Mokuba, why do you want to go to school early?"
"There's this girl," he began.
"There's always a girl. Continue."
"I really like her, but she doesn't notice me. I just want to talk to her before everybody else gets there."
"She comes early?"
"Yeah, she's always there when I arrive."
Uh-huh. "Just say hi to her sometime."
"I say hi to her halls."
"Does she answer?"
"Yeah."
"What's her typical answer?"
"'Hi, Mokuba.'"
Yeah, kid, she notices. "Start a conversation with her sometime."
"That's what I want to do today."
"Well then let's go. Hopefully we'll get there before too many people arrive."
We stood, and strode out the door. My black Mercedes was awaiting us, and the driver opened the door. Mokuba sat silently, fiddling with his thumbs. I stared out the window, double-checking the movements that Joey and I had made last night. It had been dangerous to go into the hotel room, but there was no good spot set up a sniper post. Joey had agreed with me immediately, and offered to find us a knife that we could use. He had selected a household kitchen knife that could be bought in just about any department store. On top of that, he had Serenity buy it for him, so it would not be linked back to us.
The car soon stopped, and Mokuba gave me a hug before jumping out of the limo. There was a blonde girl sitting on the brick-wall that lined the whole perimeter of Domino Elementary School. Mokuba sat down beside her, diving right into a conversation. I smiled as I watched my brother work his magic, and soon the girl was giggling with him. I smiled, and told the driver to take me to the Domino High School. The grounds were deserted, not even the teachers had arrived yet, but there was one lone soul leaning against the white walls.
"You're here early," I said leaning beside him.
"Well, I needed ta discuss something wit yah," the boy said.
"We didn't trip, mutt, I went over our actions this morning."
"Gozaburo wants us ta up and kill another one."
"Did you tell him about the agent?"
"Nah. Wouldn' gimme a chance. Yah either talk ta him, or we go do dis thing without questions."
"I'll be sure to talk to him. we can't kill another one when the feds are here."
"Da feds are here?"
"We dropped an agent, what do you expect?"
"They move fast."
"Lie low. No matter what lie low. And for god's sake, don't under any circumstance, meet me anywhere except the park."
"Gatch yah, moneybags. Shit! Here come the guys!"
"Whatever, mutt."
"What yah call me Kaiba?"
"You heard me. I called you a mutt."
"Yah are so dead!" he cried before attempting to lunge at me.
the group that had been walking toward the gates, broke into a flat out run. A pointy-haired brunette grabbed the blonde before he could proceed to hurt me.
"Clam down, Joey, Kaiba is just trying to get a rise out of you!" the brunette yelled.
"Lemme at him, Tristan! I'll show dat no good, cheating, son-of-a-bitch why he souldn' mess wit Joey Wheeler!"
"Whatever, mutt. Go back to the pound where you belong."
"Easy, Joey," a blonde haired, purple eyed girl said. "I don't need my boyfriend getting beaten up before homecoming."
"Your right, Mai," the blonde boy replied as he stopped struggling against the brunette's hold. "I'm wastin my time wit dat jerk."
"I don't understand why the two of you can't get along," an ocean-eyed brunette exclaimed. "You both need to deflate your egos a bit."
"Oh come on, Tea, my ego is just fine the way it is. The mutt's head has to deflate a bit because he thinks he is what he isn't," I informed her.
"I wish the two of you would get along," Tea said, stomping her foot on the ground. "You two are the biggest cocks in school!"
"And your point is?" I asked.
"You need a reality check!"
"I'll take one. Come here," I said as I pulled her into a passionate kiss.
The others huffed in disgust, and walked off. The moment that they left, I stopped kissing Tea, and rushed off to my classroom. I needed to contact Gozaburo before he had a fit. I entered the classroom, and emergency e-mailed Gozaburo.
Gozaburo, we need to talk!
His answer came back fast and irritated. What do you want I'm in the middle of my therapy.
Send whatever slut/s you have in the room with you out, this cannot wait.
A few moments later his next message came through: What is going on? Does this have anything to do with you last assignment?
It has everything to do with it. I heard through the grapevine that you want another one done.
That's correct.
You can't give us another one.
Why not? What did you screw up with the last one?
We bowled the B.
You cannot be serious! How?
It took us by surprise, and we had to improvise, but I'm not sure if it's going to work.
Do nothing unless you're told. I want updates everyday. There is no way that this building is going to fall.
And Gozaburo, don't hand the project to anybody else. We want it.
Done, was all he typed before signing off.
I slid back in my seat, and waited for Joey to enter the classroom. I was thankful that the stupid principle had so conveniently stuck us in the same homeroom together. Now, I didn't have to wait until lunch to tell him the news. A few moments later, the gang walked in, and Joey came straight up to me with expectant eyes.
"What's new, moneybags?" he asked, with slight panic in his voice.
"Relax, dog, the day has been generous, but you might want to lie low for a few weeks. You really played with fire this time," I replied.
He stalked away, giving his groupies a relieved expression. He had understood my lingo. I was debating whether I should set a date for the park tonight. It probably wouldn't hurt.
At lunch, I strode purposely over to the group's table. They watched as I approached, anticipating another verbal attack, but I went up to Tea and kissed her sweetly. She responded, and I deepened the kiss. When we broke apart, Joey was staring at us, annoyed.
"Would you like us to do this at another time, mutt?" I asked.
"Yeah. You can ta da park at midnight and do it," he retorted.
I smirked before returning to my table at the far side of the room. Midnight it is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tornado: I know that the chapter was short, but it will get longer and better.
DT: This is actually turning out to be a half decent story, but I think we need to get to the plot some time soon.
Tornado: All in good time. I like to pack the beginning with things that will need to be remembered at the end, but that causes my writing to seem to drone on and on.
DT: We'll pack this with action for you, but my hikari wants to say something first.
Tornado: Please listen very carefully. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF DEATH, BLOOD, GUTS AND GORE. CHARACTERS WILL DIE AND THERE WILL BE LEMON. SHIT GETS BLOWN UP!(a bit excessively) THERE WILL BE LOTS OF VIOLENCE AND GUNS. IF YOU ARE A TEA FAN, MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO NOT READ MUCH FARTHER. THAT GOES FOR MAI AS WELL. If you cannot stand the previous things, my advice to you is to stop reading this fic right now, and find another story. Li, I cannot disclose anything about the pairings because it may affect the plot. Please be patient with my story. I will make sure that there is lots of action.
DT: This should be one of her better stories because the girl is obsessed with violence.
Tornado: I watch lots of action movies and read tons of murder/mystery books. Please R&R.
