Isa: And the plot thickens! (Starts to pat down the fire with a heavy rug.)
Duke: coughs from all the smoke.
Tea: Hey! I'm not that evil!!! And I would never be that mean to Yugi!
Isa: Puh-lease. Who are you trying to kid? We all know you're a skanky ho- bag!
All: (minus Tea.) YEAH!
Sephy: Let's BURN her!!!!!
Isa: Ok, I still have some spare flames from other things in here somewhere......
Tea: NO! Have mercy!!!!!! (screams and starts to run and Sephy chases her with a torch.)
Isa: Meh-heh. Just remember readers, flames will only add to Tea's burning torture, and reviews will cause me to write more!
Yugi: (dryly). Great.....--"
Isa: Here's.......Chapter FIVE!
Chapter Five: Night Hacking.
Yugi collapsed into the soft covers of his welcoming bed. The day had been a long one and his brain hurt from all the concentrating school demanded out of him. His eyes began to close as the running water from the bathroom sounded against his bedroom wall. Then he heard another sound, something most unusual and strange. A low humming faded in and out of the sound of the water flow and Yugi sat up with a confused look fixed on his face.
"Yami?" he asked cautiously, "Yami, are you singing in the shower?"
The humming noise ceased and there was a slight pause before a small, "No," was answered. Yugi shook his head and rolled his eyes halfway and dropped back to his pillow as light poured into the hallway. Yami skipped out the bathroom door, with a blue towel wrapped tightly around his waist and a wide grin stretched across his lips. Yugi opened one eye and stared at him as he flew into his own bedroom and closed the door merrily behind him. "I will never figure him out," the hikari muttered to himself, "never in a million years."
Yami threw on a light T-shirt over his boxer shorts and crawled into bed. His head emerged above the covers and he placed his arms contently behind it. Thursday will be a good day. He thought to himself, Ishiuzu really isn't all that bad. Who knows, maybe we might actually have a lot of fun. Yami sighed as his thoughts turned to his hikari. But I feel sorry for Yugi....he tried so hard to get Tea to go with him.....hmm, strange I always thought those two had some thing for each other....oh well, he'll have fun regardless. Yami rolled onto his side and his eyes shut closed. Soon sleep carried the Mouto home away and the only sound Yugi could hear now, was the faint snoring of his Yami down the hall.
Tea gripped onto her shoulders tightly as a cold wind flew up her body. She glanced up at her window, which she had just crawled out of. Maybe I should have brought a jacket......oh well, too late now.....Tea dug down into her overall pocket and pulled out her car keys and made her way through the wet grass of her lawn. Her open compartment viper waited for her patiently at the foot of her driveway and she hurriedly hopped in. Her teeth chattered as she checked her watch.
12:15PM. Good, just enough time to make it to the school and back before anyone noticed her absence. She twisted the key in the ignition and her car roared to life. She carefully slipped out of her driveway and sped through the darkness.
Seto Kaiba glanced down at his digital watch in frustration. "Where is she!?" he screamed and pulled his black trench coat tighter around his chest. It was an awfully cold night, which confused him. Then again, the weather had a mind of it's own and never bended to a meteorologists will. The wind kicked along a group of discarded leaves across the pavement and Kaiba's eyes went to his wrist clock again. Finally, he could hear the soft hum of a car pull up through the bus loop and the headlights were shut off immediately. Kaiba blinked and waited until a slim figured got out and walked slowly towards him. When it entered the light of the street lamp Kaiba couldn't help but let loose a dull laugh.
There Tea stood, her body covered in baggy black overalls and a tight tank top of the same color. A dark ski hat rested on top of her head and her face was completely covered in black paint.
"What?" she asked indignantly and Kaiba rested his hands on his knees as laughs racked his body.
"W-What is that!?" he gasped pointing to Tea's face and her crystal eyes narrowed.
"It's my disguise! All the buglers in the movies paint their faces like this." she explained and Kaiba shook his head back and forth.
"You are truly pathetic, and to think I almost hung out with you losers," Kaiba straightened and began to unscrew the lock that binded the gates together, "We're breaking into a school. A High School. Do you really think anybody would be around patrolling a school at this time of night?"
"Uh...."
Kaiba cut Tea off with a sharp, "No, if they wanted to catch rebellious teenagers they'd look in all ways, clubs, the skating rank, those type of places. Not Domino High. Now stop embarrassing yourself and let's go." With a quick jerk of his wrist Kaiba flung the chain and lock to the ground and pushed the gates open.
"Hey...how did you do that?" Tea wanted to know and Kaiba stuffed a heavy wrench and screwdriver back into the open briefcase that lay on the ground. The CEO then stood up, the handle of his carrying device in his hand and he nonchalantly entered the front of Domino High. Tea's gaze darted left and right and she nervously followed her senses ever alert for the sign of anybody who would foil their plan.
Kaiba led her right up to the door of the school's computer lab and he jiggled the handle. He narrowed his eyes when it didn't submit to him and Tea jumped as the briefcase was slammed to the ground. Instantly it's top flipped open to reveal an aseral of destructive devices Tea had only dreamed of. Kaiba's hand hovered above the contents while he carefully thought about his weapon of choice. He decided to go with a long metal stick with a broad handle.
"What's that?" Tea asked and Kaiba flipped a small switch and suddenly a whirling blade sprouted at the tip.
"Stand back," he ordered and Tea covered her ears as the spinning metal ate away at the doorknob, pieces of it flying off in chunks as Kaiba sawed his way through. Then the screaming whine of the machine stopped as the knob crumbled to the floor in defeat. Kaiba smiled and so satisfied put the tool away back in it's place. Tea blinked.
"Wow, what is that thing called? Where'd you get it?"
"Let's go, Gardner." Kaiba replied gruffly and swung the door open. Tea frowned and she shrieked as Kaiba flipped the light switch to the room on. The sudden brightness blinded her for a moment before she could behold multiple rows of computers all placed side by side. Kaiba slid one of the green chairs out and sat down.
He switched the computer on and waited for it to load. A short, "Password demanded," flashed up on the screen. The keys clicked under Kaiba's fingertips as he entered the correct code and Tea placed her hands on the back of the chair behind him.
Well this might actually be easier then I thought.....Tea figured, Even I know the school's password. Kaiba leaned back in the chair as the menu options appeared. Kaiba clicked on the Internet Explorer button and the, "Welcome to Domino High's Internet Access Web Page." replaced the once blank green screen. Kaiba paused for a moment as he typed in something at the top.
"What's that?" Tea asked when she didn't recognize the address.
"It's the school's account number, this allows me to access any information the school puts into it's computer logs. Such as emergency cards, Library records, and grade accounts." Kaiba said and gritted his teeth as another password requirement popped up.
"How did you know that number?"
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Please, I'm the leader of Kaiba Corp. I have thousands of account numbers to any building in the world you can imagine. Now watch this." Kaiba's hand was placed lightly over the mouse and he used it to minimize the school's private website and pulled up another screen that flashed SETO KAIBA in blue lettering and crystals branched out of the name in a circular pattern. "Voice identification please." a feminine mechanical voice stated and Tea's eye brows shot up. Kaiba smiled and reached down into his briefcase and seized a set of headphones with mike attached to it. He then took the cord and jacked it into an open socket in the computer and set the head set snuggly on his head.
"Seto Kaiba." he simply said into the mike and his name disappeared from the browser and the female voice continued.
"Welcome back, it's been awhile since I've herd from you. What do you need this time?"
"Cool! An interactive computer!" Tea exclaimed and Kaiba ignored her.
"I'm in need of the Domino High access password to hack into the grading reports on Yami Mouto."
"Mouto?" the computer replied, "My, doesn't that bring back memories, hopefully this time I won't freeze up. Just a moment."
There was a long buzzing sound as a dotted line trailed across the monitor and then a high chime rang as the screen folded out into large lists of names.
"There you go, you're in." The computer announced and a pleased smile raced across Kaiba's cold features.
"Thank you, that was easier then I thought."
"No problem, was that all you needed?"
"Yes, your work is done. But just stick around and warn me if we're being traced."
"Sure thing."
The voice then was silent and Tea's eyes were widened in amazement. "That was awesome! How'd you do that!?" she shouted and Kaiba shrugged as he began to scroll down the list.
"It's just technology Gardner. That's all.....now.....Yami Mouto.....Ah-ha!" Kaiba halted the scroll bar and clicked on his name. The screen flashed and then brought up Yami's name, picture, schedule, classes, and their target, a list of all his tests and assignments for all four of his classes.
"That's it! That's it!" Tea screamed jabbing her finger at the screen and snickered at Yami's picture, "Geez....doesn't he ever smile?"
Kaiba grunted in disgust and scrolled down to the important stuff. "So, what do you want to change them to?"
Tea thought for a moment. "Uh...I don't know, just make it so he has....uh....two C's a B and an A. That sounds a little reasonable. And I don't care for what classes you do each one for, just do it."
Kaiba nodded, "Sounds good to me." And he set to work as Tea grinned evilly over his shoulder.
