Invisible Touch
Chapter 11
At Domino City, Seto couldn't walk the streets without thinking about Anjel. The thought of her made him depressed. Mokuba tailed along so he could watch his brother. Lately, he caught Seto tuning out and daydreaming at work. Finally, he gathered up the courage to ask him, "Seto, what's wrong? You've been tuning out all day."
The CEO looks down and over to the side, "I don't think I'll be seeing Anjel for a long time. She left this morning."
"What happened? Did you two have a fight?"
"No, Mokuba, she left town. I don't know where she went. I visited her place, and she wasn't there. I asked Annabelle where she was; she wouldn't tell me. I tried to find Chaos until Dark told me that he left with Anjel...." Seto's voice began to crack, "She left me her cards, and I can't even look at them without thinking of Anjel's presence."
Mokuba tries to comfort his brother, "Don't beat yourself over this. You said so yourself that she'll call you eventually. It may not be today; it may not be tomorrow, but she will call you someday."
"I know, but it's so unfair she had to leave because of Pegasus."
Mokuba jumped, "He's alive?!"
Seto nods, "Yes, he staged his death. I know why she never surfaced in the first place. She spent the last three years hiding and living by herself so he wouldn't find her."
"Zowie did the same method so Gitaroo Man couldn't find him."
"Mokuba, for one minute, will you stop talking about that stupid game? It also reminds me of Anjel."
"I know what'll cheer you up. A holograph!"
"What?"
"I've seen this in the game. A blimp hovered a few inches away from Gitaroo Man and a holograph of Zowie came into view."
"And what does that have to do with Anjel?"
"I'm not finished yet. Anyway, he wanted the gitaroo. I pondered for one second that Gitaroo Man actually thought he was talking to Zowie when he wasn't."
"I think you've been spending too much time playing that game, Mokuba. You're nuts!"
"Really? What about when you think the hologram is touching you? I looked up the website the game suggested for additional clips."
"What website is that?"
"It's ive, and a letter to Kaiba. No one bothered with the last two items for it was a MAD magazine Bakura was reading earlier and a walkman. Tristan glared at the tomb robber knowing he listened to the Stories, "And yet you yelled at me for listening to a rock station."
"Sorry. I was cranky at the time," Bakura apologized with no sympathy.
Yugi examined the clues thoroughly and came with nothing to conclude. Joey seen this on TV and figured it out one by one. "Hey, she probably got scared and fleed." the blond explained. "The engagement ring left behind probably meant that she didn't want to marry him right away and decided to wait a little longer. The test means that she's pregnant..."
"How can you tell?" Yugi raises an eyebrow.
Joey continues, "My mom had a test like that. If there's a plus sign, it means she's pregnant. If there's a negative sign, it means she isn't. Since there's a plus sign, Anjel must be pregnant. That letter addressed to Kaiba probably indicates the fact that she's leaving him for a long time. Some white-haired freak forgot to send it to him."
"Put me down," the tomb robber squirmed. "The blood is rushing to my brain."
Tristan released Bakura's legs, "I can't believe she would do something like this. What is wrong with that girl?"
"My guess is she's hiding from Pegasus," Joey concluded.
"Maybe, but I want to know why he's after her. First he stages his death, then he comes back with Marik as his aide. There must be something he wants that only Anjel has..." Yugi pauses for a moment to think. He suddenly gasped, "The seven cards!"
"That could be the reason why Pegasus is after her," Tea nodded.
Bakura pays no attention as he was singing off-key his favorite song. "Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie..."
Tristan plugs his ears trying to block the endless squaking coming from the tomb robber. Joey mocks Bakura making everyone laugh. With one swift movement, he pats Bakura's back. Bakura really didn't understand why Joey did that, but he sure became the laughing stock. Behind his back was a sign that reads 'Kick me hard & laugh at my expense'. Yugi, letting the temptation overpower him, kicks Bakura hard and laughs at his expense. As soon as Bakura got up, Tristan does the same thing. Next, Tea does it for the fun of it. It hurt Bakura more with thick-heeled shoes.
Later, the small group went to the mall and sees Mokuba leaving. Just when Bakura thought it was safe, Mokuba came up to the tomb robber and kicked him hard. After Bakura landed on his ass, the young Kaiba laughed. Joey stifles a snicker.
