YUGIOH Kaiba: Missing Persons

Chapter 23. At a hotel in the US, in view of Kaiba Land, a woman sat at her laptop, looking at every detail of the Charujin Corporate building layout, checking the time schedules of the guards, and looking for weaknesses in its design.

The laptop rested on a table, with wires coming out of it, which was also connected to another invention Krysonna was working on. These past few hours were the most grueling hours of her life, while she was trying to figure out who she was........or if she even wanted to. To accept that she was Seto Kaiba, would be accepting the humiliation of being changed into a woman, sleeping with a not only a guy, but 'Wheeler'.......the person Kaiba despised most in his life. And ontop of that, later on behaving even worst, by also sleeping with Yugi, due to a confusing moment of knowing him and not knowing him. She was desperately trying to grasp her identity through him, which was mixed with Kaiba's obsession to beat him in a game, and the nightmares of what happened to him in the past, when he was defeated in a past game by Yugi. It were these extraordinary circumstances that led to what she did. The only relief she could get out of this was that she assumed whatever happened between her and Yugi was something that would never come up in a conversation, atleast.

But probably the absolute hardest part of the whole equation was that she would have to deal with the fact that she was now stripped of her manhood......if she 'was' Seto Kaiba. But what if she really was him? What would she do then? Her first horrifying thought was that she was surgically.......clipped and modified. But that couldn't be the case. There were no scars, no stitches, she was not missing for that long, plus.......her hair grew. How could that be, in that short amount of time, if she was supposed to originally be Seto Kaiba? But some things also made sense that she wasn't who she was supposed to be. Not knowing anyone, not being able to recognize herself, why everything was so new in her personal 'card room', the strange looks from people at Charujin when she went down the hell, that she never really noticed before, until it hit her now.......all these add up. Plus all the memories she had been remembering pertained to Seto Kaiba's past and no one else's, and of course her close feelings to Mokuba, like he was family to her. No matter how she tried, she couldn't hurt him........Yugi was right, and thank goodness for that, too. She would never be able to live with herself, if she harmed one hair on his head.

"Mokuba........I'm sorry........", she said aloud, struggling with herself.

But as she did, another thought hit her. By now, the Charujin Company might be growing suspicious, due to her lack of communication. She had to try and keep them as unaware as possible.......but it also gave her an idea.

"Time for some damage control", she said, and made a call on her cell phone.

"This is Ms. Charujin, who is this?", the woman asked.

"It's me, Krysonna.......I apologize for the late call, Ms. Charujin", Krysonna stated, professionally.

"Krysonna..........", Charujin said, sounding surprised, and giving a very long pause for some reason, then said, "I have not heard from anyone, lately. Can you update me with what happened? Is Kaiba Corp. ours?"

"I again must apologize, but there's been a delay in our plans", Krysonna answered. "I was about to kidnap Mokuba Kaiba, when Lanna came in, threatening both Mokuba, myself, and the guards that were quickly alerted from the scene she was creating. The woman went crazy, she was rambling about being in charge of everything........"

"What happened?", Charujin asked. "Has she been put in jail?"

"No......unfortunately, the guards shot and killed her in self-defense, while they were protecting Mokuba Kaiba. I was forced to plead with the guards, apologizing for our companies behalf, that I knew nothing about her being an assassin. I told them she was a new employee and it was the mistake of our firm that we didn't go through her records clearly enough. To keep this embarrassment from our company, I requested that they simply dump the body and forget ever seeing her. They were gracious enough to accept my request", Krysonna stated.

"Good thinking. So, are they suspicious of you, now?", Charujin asked.

"No, but they have upped their security. Also because of what happened, they were forced to delay the Battle City Finals for another day. It's expected to start tomorrow morning. I'm waiting until later at night, and plan on kidnapping Mokuba then", Krysonna stated.

"Excellent, Krysonna.......I knew I could count on you. I have another woman that I can send to replace Lanna as backup......", Charujin began to say.

But Krysonna cut in, "No, that wouldn't be good. They would become suspicious of the corporation, if we sent a new one over here. Instead, I suggest sending her over to the airport that's about 10 miles away from Kaiba Land. Have her prepare a helicopter for me for 3:00 am. I'll meet her there with the prisoner."

"All right.......I'll be looking forward to seeing you, Krysonna", Charujin said.

"As will I", Krysonna said, after hanging up. That part was done. Now if she could only get these strange annoying thoughts of Wheeler out of her head. She shook it off, and took a breath preparing to make another phone call. Staring down at the phone, her hand trembled, as she called the next number.

"This is Mokuba.......Seto, is that you?", he asked, knowing only Seto knew this private emergency number.

"Mokuba, this is..........Krysonna. I plan on finding out what the Charujin Corporation is up to. But to do that, I'm going to need your help", she said to him.

"Seto! I knew it was you.......I think I've known it was you, before that lady even mentioned it. Where are you?", he asked.

There was another long pause, before she answered, "I.........I can't say right now, but I have some instructions for you."

"All right, but first.......I wanted to let you know that we've been questioning Lanna, and she's given us allot of details regarding the machine that did this to you, Seto. We got a bunch of the schematic designs on it, and everything. Did you want the information?", Mokuba asked.

"Send it all to my email.......I'll get it from there. Now this is what I need you to do......", Krysonna said.
