Chap3 Far from the truth

Everyone woke up early on Sunday morning. They all were ready to find answers they desperately needed.

" Where do we start?' Duke asked.

" Let's go to the museum," Seto offered, " they probably know."

They all agreed and headed out the door. It was a long way to the museum, but they talked to past the time.

" So, Kaiba," Joey began, " when did this start?"

" Two days ago," he answered.

" She has been haunting you that long?" Tea spoke.

" Yes," he sighed, " and I will be glad when she leaves me alone."

Soon they were standing in front of the Domino Museum. They walked up the many steps to the double doors. There standing behind a podium was an old man. He looked to be 70. Yugi walked up to him thinking through what he had to say.

" Hello sir," Yugi politely greeted, " we were wondering if you know about a girl named Lily Sumpter."

The old man who had a kind smile suddenly turned beet red.

" Who told you about her?" he calmly asked.

" This might seem crazy, but she is haunting my mansion," Kaiba explained, " I want to figure out why."

" Billionaire Seto Kaiba Ceo of Kaiba corp.?" he bowed, " it's an honor."

" Oh please," Joey rolled his eyes.

" I'm sure it is an honor, but do you know about Lily Sumpter?"

" I have no idea who you are talking about, so I would appreciate it if you please leave the museum," he asked.

" Leave?" Tristan raised an eyebrow; " we aren't leaving till you tell us about Lily."

" There is no such thing as Lily-

" There has to be," Yami said, " We have her-

" Come on everyone this man clearly has no idea who we are talking about," Seto ordered.

" What this is bogas," Joey shouted.

Outside of the museum Joey cornered Kaiba.

" Kaiba why did you make us leave?" he asked.

" Did you want he security guards to come?" he grunted.

" No, but,"

" We have many stops to make," he interrupted.

The gang went to different places asking the same question, but no one knew or they just didn't want to say anything.

" This stinks," Bakura complained.

" I agree," Ryou nodded, " no one knows."

" No actually no one is telling the truth," Yami corrected.

Kaiba was deep in thought. He was wondering how they could get some answers.

" We should go to the Domino nursing home," Kaiba suggested, " they might know."

" What do we got to lose?" Malik asked.

At the Domino nursing home they went up to the receptionist. She looked pretty old herself.

" Hello," Tea smiled, " do you know who Lily Sumpter is?"

" You must be talking about Anna Sumpter," she smiled.

" Who?" Joey whispered but got nudged by Mai.

" That is exactly who we are talking about," she lied.

" Are you family?" she asked looking through a book.

" Yes we are,"

" Room 32,"

They walked down the hallway is smelled something like a hospital. When they made it to room 32, Seto knocked.

" Come in," a voice commanded.

" Hello we were just wondering if we could ask you some questions," Seto asked.

" I don't want any," she yelled.

" Okay," he said, " do you know who Lily Sumpter is?"

" Who?"

" You must know who she is," Marik interrupted, " your Anna Sumpter."

" How do you know about Lily," she hollered.

" She is haunting my mansion," Kaiba responded.

" Lily," she sighed, " my daughter. I miss you."

" Your daughter," Seto grinned, " you must know Michael too then."

" Yes Michael was my son,"

Kaiba began to feel a new hope fill him. It was like riding your bike for the first time.

" What happened to them January 30th 1856?" he asked.

Nothing could go wrong Seto was going to figure this out once and for all.

" Why do you want to know," she asked rudely.

" It is very vital that we know this information," he begged.

" Go away you reporter," she grumbled, " leave me be."

" I'm not a reporter," Seto spoke through clenched teeth, " I just need answers."

" We have her diary," Yugi said urging Kaiba to give it to her.

The old lady stretched out her wrinkly hand and took the diary. A tear slipped from her eye.

" Where did you get this?" she demanded.

" It just showed up in my house," Seto responded.

" Where did you get this?" she was screaming loud now.

" It just showed up and-

She took the diary and put it over a candle in her room. The book slowly began to burn.

" No," Seto shouted, " That was my answer to this mayhem."

" Everyone out of this room now," a nurse who heard the screaming shouted.

When the door closed Kaiba heard a sound. It was faint and he couldn't make out the words, but it sounded like the old lady said ' they burned'.

" That wasn't helpful at all," Bakura mumbled.

" Kaiba," Yami called.

" What?"

" Does your house have a basement?" he asked.

" Yes,"

When they reached Kaiba's house Yami asked where the basement was. Once in the basement he ordered someone to bring down a shovel.

" What are you up to?" Yugi asked.

" You'll see," he smirked shoving the shovel into the basement floor.

" That isn't going to work," Duke shook his head.

Yami put his hand to the floor making a huge crack in the basement floor. He then to the shovel removing the concrete. Now there was a hole visible in the basement.

" You better have a way to pay for this," Kaiba growled.

Yami dug into the rich dirt hitting something hard. He scraped away the dirt to find a golden license plate.

" Wow a license plate," Bakura laughed.

" Wait hold on," Ryou said taking the plate.

Ryou rubbed the dirt from the plate revealing a name.

" The Sumpters," Tristan read.

" That means," Kaiba's eyes widened.

" Yes Kaiba," Yami nodded

What does it mean? Well read and find out.

Until next chapter
