YUGIOH Kaiba: Missing Persons

Chapter 15. Joey's head was spinning after thinking he just had the greatest day of his life, making love with the most beautiful woman of his........anyone's dreams. 'Who wouldn't want her? And she's mine........all mine!' He then off-handedly looked at the clock, and jumped-up, saying, "OH, SHIT! It's time!!"

"What??", Krysonna jumped up to Joey's crying.

"We gotta get to the finals!", Joey cried.

The other finalists were together, as well as Yugi's friends, all wondering, "Where's Joey? He's not going to make it......."

"One minute left......", the guard said, as the helicopter was running.

Mokuba was looking around, also wondering, 'Krysonna.......where are you?'

Suddenly, the two were running up, Joey's clothes seemed to be tucked in odd places, and Krysonna's hair was also out of place, making some of them wonder about them.

"We're here, I made it!", Joey said happily.

"Then let's get going", Mokuba stated.

The helicopter took off, and brought them all to their destination.........Kaiba Land, which was presently closed due to off- season. But in the center of Kaiba land, was a huge tower all powered up and ready to go.

They landed and got out, as Mokuba said, "Sorry the final isn't going to be anywhere extravagant or too overly unpredictable, but this is the best we could muster in such short notice."

"How can you say that?", Yugi said. "I've never been here before now.......this is great! Do we get to go on the amusement rides, too??"

Mokuba smiled, saying, "Sorry Yugi, it's off season.......you'd freeze trying to ride most of the rides now. But I think I can muster some free passes." Mokuba and the security then showed them to their rooms, since they had a rich hotel connected to the park. "If you need anything, let my security know, and we'll see what we can do to take care of you."

Just as he was about to walk away, Yugi came over to him, saying, "Mokuba, I need to talk to you."

Mokuba turned, seeing everyone else went into their rooms, then said, "I need to talk to you too, Yugi. I'm afraid we failed my brother..........we didn't find the culprit."

"Actually, I think we did. I have reason to believe that Krysonna is behind the kidnapping", Yugi said.

Mokuba had hope until Yugi mentioned the name. He sighed, saying, "Sorry Yugi, but I talked to her.......she isn't involved."

"But how can you be so sure?", Yugi asked. "Listen, I talked to her assistant......."

"Yugi, you don't understand, you didn't hear the things that I did from her. She's not a bad person. I really trust Krysonna! Just believe me, you're wrong......she's not it!", Mokuba said, pushing almost too hard for Yugi to back off of Krysonna.

"Uh.......okay Mokuba", Yugi said, not sure what else to say.

As Mokuba walked away, Yami commented to him, That is the second person now that has pushed for us to stay away from her.

I don't understand it, spirit, Yugi thought. Joey practically fell head over heals for her, and she impressed Mokuba so much.......he's protecting her as if she was family to him. And strangely enough, even I feel like we've known her. What is it about Krysonna?

I don't know, Yugi.......but maybe it's time we finally had that private talk with her. I didn't see Lanna onboard the chopper. That gives us time to talk with her alone. When it gets late, I think that'll be the right time to approach her.
