YUGIOH
Kaiba: Missing Persons
Chapter 13. Lanna impatiently waited at the front gates. She did not like Krysonna going in without her. 'Damn, why did she choose to take care of this tomorrow? We could have had this done and over with today!'
"Hello, Lanna", a voice suddenly called to her.
She whirled around, like an animal caught in the headlights, to find it was only Yugi.......strange his voice sounded different, though. He also seemed strangely more confident than earlier. She caught her breath, saying, "Oh, it's you. Hello, Yugi."
Yami looked around, saying, "I guess your boss Krysonna must be inside."
"I'm her assistant, but she's not my boss", she said sternly. She then changed her tone, saying, "Err.......yes, she's inside. Mokuba Kaiba must be very impressed with her."
"Mokuba Kaiba?", Yami asked. "You mean she's not meeting Seto Kaiba?"
"Oh, uh.......well, maybe she is. I haven't seen him lately, and......Mokuba came out to meet her ", Lanna lied.
"Is that so?", Yami asked.
"Yeah......", Lanna said nervously, not liking the way Yugi was questioning her. "It's business matters. I can't really discuss it......", she said, trying to blow Yami off.
"So you say Mokuba must be impressed. Why do you say that? The news you have for Mokuba must be real good news, to make him pleased", Yami said.
"Oh, yeah......it is. Uh, well......again, I can't really talk about it. It's top-secret. Our company doesn't allow us to divulge such information about it to the public", Lanna stated, thinking, 'Why wont this guy go away, already?'
"I see", Yami said. He then turned, saying, "Here comes Krysonna, now."
Lanna looked over quick as Krysonna approached them. Yami spoke first, saying, "Hello, Krysonna. I heard you had a long talk with one of the Kaiba brothers. So, after Mokuba led you into the building, you two must have had allot to discuss......"
"Mokuba didn't......", Krysonna began to say, but behind Yami, Lanna was frantically waving for him to shut up, knowing it was a trap Yami was setting up, to find out the truth behind Lanna's words.
Krysonna had no idea why her assistant was waving around like a lunatic, but she did stop in mid-sentence, and looked over at Yugi. Immediately changing the subject, to avoid any screw ups her assistant possibly made, she said calmly, "So Yugi, I see you made it to the finals, already. Looking forward to being crushed by me?"
"You sound awfully confident", Yami stated. "Too bad we couldn't battle earlier. Infact, if you'd be willing, maybe we could even do a quick duel to pass the time. We wouldn't have to wager anything, just a friendly game to see who's really the best."
"You think you can beat me, Yugi?? Then fine!", Krysonna said, getting ready to duel, "Bring it o--....."
"NO!!", Lanna suddenly snapped.
Both looked at her, and she paused a moment, then looked at Krysonna, saying, "You know ma'am, you really shouldn't do a battle before the finals. By doing so, not only would it allow your opponents to know what you're planning ahead of time, but 'Charujin will not be happy'", she strongly hinted to her.
Yami could see the strange conflict in Krysonna's eyes. She really wanted to duel Yugi before the match, she was just itching to. But whatever Lanna said to her seemed to be enough to win out. She looked at Yugi like she was shooting daggers out of her eyes, saying, "I'll see you in the finals......bet on it!", and marched away from him, followed by Lanna.
Yami decided he was going to have a word with Krysonna alone, before the final match came.
