YUGIOH
Kaiba: Missing Persons
Chapter 34. Yami began to cough, as he sat up from the ashes and rubble. "Is.......is everyone all right?", he choked.
There was a moan, and Tristan looking himself over, saying, "I can't believe it......I'm not even singed."
"The Millennium Puzzle saved us from the heat of the explosion", Yami stated.
"That's great!", Tristan exclaimed.
".......but that doesn't keep anyone from getting hurt from the rubble, or suffocation. We have to find the rest of our friends", Yami stated, with intensity.
"Right. I'll start digging for the others.......", Tristan said.
Suddenly Yami remembered, "Kaiba!", and scrambled for the machine. "Oh, no.......", he gasped, seeing the machine was completely knocked over. He slowly approached the machine afraid of what he was going to find, then saw him still stuck inside. "Kaiba!", he called out, scurrying over to him. Yami looked down at him, and Kaiba once again appeared to be himself.......the feminine lines in his face were gone. The machine worked, except Kaiba's hair was even longer than when he was in the form of a woman. Plus, Kaiba did not appear to be conscious. Yami moved over to him, shaking him, saying, "Kaiba??", but got no answer. Yami then put his hand in front of Kaiba's face, and didn't feel a breath. "He's not breathing!", Yami cried out in grief.
Give him mouth to mouth!, Yugi cried to his other self.
Give him what??, Yami asked. Yugi, this the hardly the time.......
It's in our CPR school program, remember? You breath into the mouth of the other and give him air, helping him to breath again!
That's right, Yami said. "I'm gonna try and help him", Yami said out loud to Yugi.
Tristan found everyone else, and was digging them out. During that time, Joey woke up, and began to pull himself out of the rubble, looking over just in time to see Yami pressing his lips against Kaiba.
Kaiba began to wake up. He was infact breathing, but it was very slow and weak, causing Yami to miss it. He woke up to catch Yami touching his lips with his own........and Kaiba was so weak from the experience, all he could do was let out a protesting squeak through his nose. But the noise caused Yami to pause and finally pull back to look again, before he had a chance to try and push air into Kaiba's mouth, both simply looking at each other, mildly blushing.
Joey then shouted, "Aww geez, not again! What is it with you, two??", once again making an already embarrassing moment even worst. Joey didn't say anything further on it though, because now he wasn't sure if Kaiba was Kaiba again, and no longer a woman, from where he was sitting. He didn't really want to try and protect his interest in it anymore, if Kaiba was a 'dude'. Even for Joey, that would be a bit......awkward.
Still blushing, Yami looked down at Kaiba, stammering, "I.....didn't think you were breathing. I was trying to.........give you.......uh, help you........"
Kaiba just closed his eyes and sighed, giving up. "Yugi......just get me out of here. Then after that, don't help me anymore........please."
Yami just smiled sheepishly, and looked for a way to try to free Kaiba.
It actually took a little longer, and more man-power than was expected. The hydraulics kept them from prying it apart. They had to actually hot- wire it back up, and connect the right wires that would cause the hydraulics to release themselves. And Kaiba was so terribly drained from the experience, he could barely keep himself conscious, let alone move. Joey ended up dragging him out of the thing.
Yami than carefully approached, still blushing from that earlier experience, saying, "Kaiba, can you move?"
It took all the energy for Kaiba to shake his head, 'no'. Yami then asked, "Is there anything we can do to help?"
Kaiba muttered out, "Scissors........"
"Say, what?", Joey asked.
"I.....I'm laying on my hair.......", Kaiba stated.
They couldn't find scissors, but one of the dead guards had a switch blade on him, and it was used to cut Kaiba's hair to atleast a reasonable shoulder-length level. Tristan and Joey then both took hold of Kaiba, and stood, as Devlin said, "Let's get out of here. By now, we've well over- stayed our welcome......."
"Yes, I'm afraid you have", A woman announced, followed by more guards, that surrounded them. "I don't see Charujin anywhere........I can assume you killed her. Too bad, now that she's out of the picture, that makes me the new head of Charujin, Corp. Of course, I'll probably have to rename it to something more practical than her ridiculous name. As for you fools, I can simply kill you all. The police and fire department are right outside, you know. I can tell them that I found the terrorists that caused this incident, you resisted, and we were forced to fire upon you. Of course, we'll plant some of the guard's guns on you too, just to make it look good", she grinned. The group wasn't sure what to say to her. After all, it was them that broke into the company. If she killed everyone, there would obviously be no way for the group to defend themselves.
That moment, Kaiba found the strength to force his head up, in order to face this new threat. He was still conscious, though very weak, over- hearing what this woman's new plans were, and knew exactly what to do. He said to her, "I have a recording device on me, and taped everything that had been happening from the point where Charujin explained in detail what she did to me and why, right down to where you talk about planting weapons on us. At the receiving end, at a nearby building is my brother Mokuba, who is ready to hand it to the police the instant something goes wrong. So instead of forcing yourself into permanent bankruptcy and possibly the electric chair, how about you let us go, and I'll consider not suing you for everything your corporation has done to me in the last 2 days......." As Kaiba said this, it suddenly dawned on him everything he had said to Yugi in his fit of rage, and everything that was blurted to him by Joey, was probably heard by Mokuba. During that time, even he forgot about the bug. 'This hell just never ends for me........does it?', he thought, wondering how he was going to be able to look at his brother again, now that Mokuba knew every horrific thing he did during his time as Krysonna.
The woman froze from the man's words. She snapped, "You're lying......search him!"
'If only', Kaiba thought. 'Perhaps death would have been an easier out for me......' Two of the guards immediately went over to him, and began to search for a bug. As they did, Kaiba said, "If you destroy the bug, my brother will assume you killed us, and immediately send the data he received to the police."
"He has a bug!", the guard said in a panic, which only increased, as he added, "And it's still active!!"
The woman paled, after hearing that, then snapped, "What are you guards doing? These aren't terrorists, just poor victims of Charujin's mad schemes! Lower those weapons, at once!"
The guards backed up and lowered their weapons, as the woman now said sweetly, "Why Seto Kaiba, in charge of Kaiba ? I am Ms. Matagachi. I am so sorry about the behavior from our ex-president, Ms. Charujin. The pressure of running a business obviously was just too much for her. Surely we can make an out-of-court arrangement to make amends for her......temporary insanity, as well as perhaps a little extra to keep quiet about the tape?"
The rest of Yugi's group felt ill just listening to this woman, and Kaiba seemed to react in the same business tone, saying, "I'll make sure to make arrangements to have my lawyers settle this matter with you." After Kaiba had given his weak reply to her, his head finally dropped, as he once again lost consciousness, due to fatigue.
Yami looked up, saying, "Perhaps you and your 'guards' would be happy to escort us out of this facility, safely. After all, with all the debris around, I'm sure you wouldn't want us to get injured before we make it out."
"Of course not", she smiled through gritted teeth. "Please escort our guests to safety........"
