Isa: Sorry that took so long to update. I just have been in a writing mood lately.

Tristain: I'll say, that chapter kind of sucked!

Isa: Thanks. --"

Noah: And now you're dragging ME into this!?

Isa: Of course! You didn't think I'd leave your cute little self out did you? (pinches his cheek.)

Noah: OW!

Tea: THINGS ARE GETTING HOT OVER HERE!!!!!!

Sephy: Dweh-heh-heh! (starts to light the wood on fire.) Grow my fire, BURN my precious! BURN!!!!!!!( maniacal laughter.)

Tea: HELLLPPPPPP!

Isa: Ok, this is how y'all can save Tea's life. If I get at least 15 reviews I use my authoress powers to make it suddenly rain and put out the fire.

Joey: 15 reviews? On this crap? Man, Tea's dead.

Yugi: No!!!! We have to save her! (starts to run towards Tea).

Isa: (sigh) Doesn't he learn anything? (zaps Yugi and he falls into a heap on the ground.)

Yami: (glup.) 0.0"

Aries: This is just too much chaos, hurry up and get to chapter seven.

Isa: OK!

Chapter Seven: Secret Agent Yami
 Yami yanked a black turtleneck over his head and gasped as it hurt his ears. He shook his head to get his bangs in place and scooped up a pair of black socks that lay on his dresser. As he sat on his bed to pull them on, Yugi entered through the open door. He was completely draped in dark clothing with two thick black marks underlining his eyes.
"What is that for?" Yami asked pointing at Yugi's cheeks.
"Oh this refracts the light. I used some of your eyeliner to do it. You don't mind do you?"
Yami narrowed his eyes and his mouth wove into a thin line. "For the last time that is not eyeliner! It's a special mixture that we as Egyptians used to paint the line of Re on our eyes. It was a symbol of status."
"Like I said," Yugi huffed, "eyeliner. Now hurry up, Grandpa's already asleep."
Yami nodded and slipped his shoes on next and stood. "Do you have the tape recorder?"
Yugi nodded an affirmative and turned around to let the pharaoh view the backpack strapped onto his back. "Check, you got the flashlight?"
Yami picked the item up and flicked the switch on. Light shot up to the ceiling in cone shaped rays, darkening the shadows on Yami's face. Yugi yelped.
"Ah! Don't turn it on now Yami! I don't want Grandpa to wake up!"
"Sorry." the light shut off and the room was returned again to the shadows. Yugi let out a breath of air and turned towards the window.
"Ok, here we go Yami. Ready?" The hikari was met with a firm nod and the partners in crime crawled out of Yami's window and sped across the lawn to the Kaiba Mansion.

Yami dashed up to the gold plated gate and pressed his body up to it silently. He glanced through the darkness and caught the outline of Yugi's shape and nodded his head, motioning for his hikari to come forward. Yugi bolted out in a speedy run and slammed against the fence. It rattled with acknowledgement of the force being applied to it and Yami frowned.
"Be silent Yugi!" he hissed and Yugi shrunk down in his shoulders.
"Sorry."
Yami shook his head and turned to the gate's top. He gently put both hands on the railing and lifted himself over the edge. Yugi watched as his Yami's feet landed promptly. Yami flicked his wrist and mentioned for Yugi to climb over but the Hikari had some difficulties and did not land nearly as gracefully as his counter part. In fact he landed straight on his backside.
"Ow!"
"Hurry up Yugi," Yami rushed, "let's get in quickly before they see us."
The two clad in black dashed up to the wall of the Kaiba Mansion. The sidled along it, (and it was a very long wall indeed) until the stopped under a window shaded in the night's darkness. Yami stared up at it thoughtfully. It was at the back of the house so the room that lay beyond it shouldn't be occupied.....right?
"Yami, if you give me a boost I might be able to get it open." Yugi was already way ahead of the pharaoh and he bent down to hoist him up onto the ledge. Yugi filled with the latch of the window for what seemed like hours before he finally got it to click open. He instantly shrinked back waiting for the scream of an alarm to pierce the silence but such an occurrence never came.
"Get in!" Yami hissed swinging the backpack of their supplies up to him. Yugi did as he was told and landed on the soft blue carpet of the Mansion. He took a quick look around the room. It was wide but hardly anything occupied it, save a washer and dryer paired silently against the wall. A waste basket of clothes and trench-coats rested at it's feet patiently and a huge box of laundry soap stood erect on the counter that paralleled the previous array.
A tiny twinge of giggles floated up inside Yugi's body. "Yami...."
Yami narrowed his eyes at the sound of the whisper. "What is it abu?"
Yugi grinned. "Yami....I think we landed in Kaiba's laundry room."
A smile of relief played across Yami's dim features and chuckling he climbed up into the sill. When the Yami and Hikari were united again Yugi slowly made his way to the closed door and pushed it open. The door betrayed them but creaking against it's motion and Yami stuck his head around the corner slightly. A long carpeted hallway stretched out before him with various paintings lining the white walls with gold trimming.
The flashing lights of a television screen played on the walls, switching from blue to white to a bright violet and back to blue. Voices of actors were being cut off as a switch clicked to another channel.
"Stay here." Yami ordered and he crept to the end of the wall and spied a threshold opening up to the Kaiba's lavish living room. A wide plasma screen TV was set up along the far-left wall with leather couches parading around it. A computer was pushed into a corner with a desk that housed an expensive game consul. The cords of the controllers were spiraled about, tangling in and under each other.
Yami blinked as from the large chair that was placed in front of the computer he could make out the outline of arms and expert fingers zipping across the key board, typing letters on the active modem. He also saw Noah display himself over one of the couches lazily, his fingers absentmindedly flipping through channels. A dry and tired look sagged on his face and his mouth was bent into a bored frown. Mokuba was seated on the floor beside him. Yami could recognize him from the mop of black hair that peeked just above the sofa's edge.
Suddenly the chair wized around and Seto's trademark angry expression became apparent.
"For heaven sake's NOAH! There's a thousand and seventy five channels programmed on that TV. Pick one and watch it!"
Noah creased his eyelids without turning to his adopted brother. "There's nothing on Seto. Do you expect me to watch Jay Lino or something?"
"I don't care what you watch. Pick something. I'm trying to write up a report and that clicking is getting on my nerves." Kaiba swiveled back around to his work.
"Put it on the cartoons Noah! I wanna watch Toonami!" Mokuba vouched from his place on the floor. Noah let out an exasperated grunt and flicked the switch over to Mokuba's grasp. The boy caught it in the air and quickly selected the channel of his desire. Yami turned to Yugi who stood in the background waiting for instruction. "Hand me the tape recorder," he mouthed and Yugi immediately began to unzip the bag as quietly as he could. Yami figured if any of the Kaibas were going to gloat now would be the time. The tap recorder was slide across the carpet and Yami snatched it up in his fingers. His heart began to pound as Noah made his way over to Kaiba's work area.
"So what kind of report are you working on Seto?" the boy inquired and Yami clicked the record button. The tape wheels began turning.
"A business write up. I have to get a new shipment of data base chips. But that's none of your concern. " Kaiba explained rashly.
"Humph. This company should have been mine. I was Gozaboro's rightful heir!" Noah lashed and Kaiba's smile singled his rebuttal.
"Well you should have stuck around a little longer, hu brat?"
Noah opened his mouth to shout when Kaiba's eyebrows suddenly shot up. "Hu? What's this?"
A miniature window slowly emerged on the modem and folded out into a message.

Galatikgrl26: Hey Kaiba! It's Tea! Have you been suspected at all yet?

 Kaiba instantly shot from his seat and slammed his fists on the desk. "WHAT THE HECK IS SHE DOING!? HOW DID SHE GET MY SCREEN NAME!?!?" he bellowed. Mokuba turned away from the TV and Yami's ears perked up. At some point Yugi came over and hunched by Yami's side.
Noah stared at the screen. "Galatikgrl26? Who is that Seto?"
Yugi gasped. "That's Tea's screen name! Why would she be IMing Kaiba?" he whispered. Yami blew air threw clenched teeth telling him to hush. Kaiba seemed to be overtaken with rage. His cheeks flushed a blood red and his teeth were set tight and his fingers drove into his palms, causing his knuckles to turn pale.
"What is she doing? What an idiot she is!!!!" Kaiba immediately sat down and began working on a reply. From his position Yami couldn't see what was written back and neither could Yugi.
Kaiba's breaths came out in short huffs as he clicked the send button and soon Mokuba joined the group and all three Kaiba brothers crowed around the computer. There was a pause and the chime of another message sounded out of the computer's speakers. Kaiba screamed in frustration and his hands flew across the keys until it looked that his fingers were merely wiggling over the dashboard.
"We need to see what they are writing to each other!" Yami hissed.
"Well....I know Tea saves all of her IMs. I could probably access them from our computer at home." Yugi replied.
"How?" Yami asked and Yugi stared at the floor.
"Well, Tea gives all of her secrets to me. I know her email password, her alpha code, her locker combination and number, her lunch number, and her phone number. I also know her password to the IM. All I have to do is type it in and it'll bring up all of her documents."
"Even her IMs?''
"Even her IMs."
Yami nodded. "All right, we'll can use that to see if we can get some evidence. Though....why would Tea change my grades?"
Yugi shrugged. "I dunno. The only thing I think she could be mad at you for is turning her down for the dance."
"But I didn't turn her down."
"Well ya sorta did, by taking Ishiuzu instead of her?"
"She wanted to go with me?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't she ask? Not that I would comply anyway, but she can't be angry with me for that. I didn't know.''
Suddenly a horrible thought struck Yugi but he hesitated before he voiced it to Yami. "Yami.........what if.....what if Tea and Kaiba are in this together? And that's what they're IMing about?"
Yami's eyes widened. His first impression was to tell Yugi he could be mistaken. But as he considered it more it made more sense to him. Tea would be the one to do something like this, she was always insanely jealous which led her to do some pretty outrageous things.
And this was certainly outrageous.
"Fine, let's get home and see what we can find." Yami yielded and Yugi nodded and started to turn to exit the way they had come in. Yami stayed for a moment longer to watch the Kaiba brothers scowl and eye the computer before following Yugi.
