Téa's heart stared to work extra hard again. The mere consideration of exploring a dangerous cave with the one she holds dear was exciting but embarrassing. She clenched her hands together. She looked down at the cold floor. It gave no sympathy back to her.
"Well better now than never," Marched Ai followed by her group.
Seto looked at Téa. This was ideal for her. She could spend time with the one she loves. He looked away and continued walking with his group.
"Bye Ai, Ryou, and Kaiba!" Téa shouted as she waved to them. They waved back and disappeared into the darkness. She suddenly had an urge to cry.
"We should get going too," Yami said in his usual cool voice.
"How could you do it?" Yami dumbfounded Téa.
"Do what?" Yami asked suspiciously.
"Be so calm and remain cool in a situation like this,"
"I don't know," Yami was telling the truth. He really didn't know why he could remain calm and keep his cools. But when he duelled it was different. He does get nervous when the situation called for it. Maybe this calmness of his was just an act, at least right now it felt like it. Yami walked on.
"Stupid question I know," Téa said feeling a little humiliated.
"No," Yami said and continued walking.
Téa looked up to find Yami disappearing into the darkness. She realised she was going to be left behind if she didn't hurry. A cold air swept by. She went stiff but was too afraid to make a sound.
"Yami," she chocked. No answer. Maybe he didn't hear me she thought as she tried to move. She walked stiffly to the second opening. The darkness scared her. She looked inside not wanting to step in. She suddenly felt alone like all her friends abandoned her. A tear trickled down her face without herself realising it. The coat of her uniform wasn't keeping the warmth in anymore. She felt cold.
"Yami," she whispered. She was unable to hear her own echo since her whisper was so quiet. She was about to run the opposite direction toward the entrance where sunlight shone through but a pair of hands grabbed her. It dragged her into the darkness of the opening.
-Ai's group-
Ai, Ryou, and Seto walked in silence. Their pace was fast since they weren't talking. Ai took the lead with the flashlight while the guys followed behind. She was so determined to solve this case and get out of here that it scared Ryou a bit.
"Ai," Ryou said almost afraid of her.
"Yes?" Ai said without even stopping.
"How do we know where we are going?"
Ai stopped. She forgot to check their position before heading inside. She mentally slapped herself.
"Don't worry," Seto said taking out his walky-talky. "Global positioning,"
"Smart," Ai said remembering she had a device too. She cursed as she remembered what she forgot. She took that device to the crime scene in that old cottage too. It not only has global positioning, but also a scanning system. It was actually given to her by the corporation. "Lieutenant Takagi," she whispered. Though it was barely audible Ryou picked it up.
"Who?" He asked.
"None of your business," Ai said coldly as she continued walking.
Ryou eyed her suspiciously.
"Kaiba," he whispered to the tall teen. "We better keep our eyes open. She can't be trusted,"
"I sensed that a long time ago," Seto said remembering of what happened one day at school.
-Flashback-
Seto was delivering some papers for Mr. Sato. He was about to go downstairs when a familiar figure caught his attention. That person was talking on the phone.
"Yes I understood," a female voice was heard.
Seto hid behind the wall and listened attentively. He rarely spy on people but this person was someone he knew. And she doesn't sound like she was talking with her boyfriend. She was up to something.
"I won't fail you Lieutenant," She stopped. "Even if the means will cause casualties," The girl stopped talking. She seemed to be listening. Suddenly her face turned pale. "What?" she shouted over the phone in astonishment.
Seto's eyes widen as he realized this figure was Ai. The bell rang and Seto fled the scene. The girl talking on the phone was Tanaka Ai, the new transferred student.
-End of Flashback-
"Seto? You there?" Ryou said to the zoned out Seto.
"Lets go," He said grumpy as usual.
"You guys better keep up!" Ai shouted since there was some distance between her and the guys.
"Sorry," Ryou said. He ran up and so did Seto.
They continued walking. Chamber four was easy to handle. Avoid a few rocks there and a small crack here and it was pretty much a straight path. The group of three just kept on walking. Silently until they reached another set of tunnels.
"This just keeps on coming," Seto said bored out of his skull.
Ai was frustrated just like Ryou. She walked from one choice to the other. Then her foot hit something. She looked closer.
"Mine tracks!" Ai said no surprise was heard from her at all.
"You mean this used to be a mine?" Ryou said walking over to see for his self.
"Looks that way," Ai said bending down to touch the tracks. "These are old tracks. The ones made with metal and poor wood. It must have been a mine for the metal is pretty much worked out in a similar pattern all along the tracks. After all, this entire place was the holder of all kinds of stones back in the feudal Japan. I did my research," Ai answered the question Ryou was about to ask.
"So if we follow these we might just find a way out," Seto said without any emotional drift.
"Exactly," Ai said with a smirk.
"If our route is correct," Ryou said with a degree of seriousness in his voice. "Then that also means the route Yugi and Téa took was wrong,"
"Not Yugi, the other Yugi," Ai corrected Ryou.
"Sorry, I meant Yami,"
"Yami?" Ai asked. "Is that his name?"
"No. We don't know his name but we don't want to offend him so between us we call him Yami," Ryou stated.
Suddenly Ai stood up. Ryou startled fell backwards.
"What's wrong Ai?" Ryou asked as he got up.
"Someone's here," Ai said sharply and pointed the flashlight toward the direction in which they came.
(A/N: Wanted to get chapter 12 up as well so here you go ^^ though it might not be a really good thing because it ends on a cliff-hanger. But work your imagination! It isn't that hard to figure this out. Or is it? MUAHAHHAHAHAHAH!) P.S: Don't forget to review! Review ^^
