Chap 4 Answers hidden underneath

Seto sat on his basement floor wide eyed. He couldn't believe what he saw. The plate Ryou was holding wasn't a license plate, but a nameplate from a house.

" Kaiba," Yugi waved his hand in front of his face.

" My mansion was built on top of their home," he stuttered.

" Yes, Kaiba," Yami nodded.

" How did their house come to be under Kaiba's mansion?" Bakura asked taking the nameplate.

" I don't know," Yugi, scratched his head, " Maybe the house was demolished."

" Demolished?" Tea squeaked, " why?"

" Well, she was accused of being a witch," Marik added.

Everyone thought about the possibilities of the Sumpters house being under Kaiba's mansion.

" What do they do to supposed witches anyway?" Malik asked.

" I don't remember," Kaiba frowned, " if we had the diary we could probably look back in it and find the answer."

" But we don't have the diary," Joey responded.

" Bingo," Kaiba replied.

" What do we do?" Mai questioned.

" We aren't going back to the old lady," Duke spoke, " she was crazy."

" Kaiba hand me your laptop," Yugi commanded.

" No way!" Kaiba hugged his laptop to his chest.

Seto looked at the annoyed look on Yugi's face and gave him his laptop. Yugi turned on the object and began to type wildly.

" Found something," Yugi announced, " during the time of the witch trials. If you were accused of being a witch they would burn you at the stake."

" Guys you not goanna believe this, but,"

" What Joey?" Yugi looked into the hole.

" Oh my gosh!" Tea and Mai screamed in unison.

In the hole were two charcoaled looking skeletons. One of them was holding onto the other protectively like it was shielding it from something.

" No wonder they are haunting you," Tristan looked at Kaiba, " your mansion is standing on their home or what is left of it."

" There seems to be a chest in there," Duke informed.

" I'm not getting it," Tristan shook his head, " their skeletons in there."

" Fine," Duke grunted, " I'll go unless someone wants to take my place."

Everyone else took a step back.

" Be that way," he mumbled, " cowards."

Duke jumped down in the hole staying a safe distance away from the skeletons. He picked the chest up and tried to drag it out of the hole.

" A little help here," he shouted.

Tristan took the chest and his hand pulling him up. The chest sat on the basement floor cover in dust and ashes. Holes were visible on the container. Duke picked up the shovel and hit the lock once making it break off. Opening the chest they brought out different objects.

" A hat," Tristan said placing it on his head.

" There is some jewelry, and wait a minute," Duke paused, " what is this?"

" It looks like a note," Mai said taking the paper form Duke.

Dear Mom and Dad,

We have no idea what is going on, but if you find this note you'll find us. We will probably be dead. I just want you both to know we love you.

Michael and Lily

" They must have written this before they died," Mai passed the note to Tea.

" How did they die exactly?" Ryou asked.

" How did they die?"Kaiba repeated the question while thinking.

" They died by fire," Joey answered, " they burned to death in their home."

" Joey, but how?" Yami raised an eyebrow.

" See every time we see them, they try to attempt to kill us with-

" Fire!" Kaiba shouted, " It all makes sense that is how they died."

Seto was smiling again he felt like everything was making sense.

" Now that we know how they died what do we do now?" Duke asked.

" Well," Kaiba answered, " we tell everyone we let them know about Michael and Lily Sumpter."

" What if they don't want to hear it?" Malik asked.

" Then that is their problem," Kaiba responded.

There was a faint ring coming from Kaiba's pocket. He picked up the phone saying hello. His expression changed and he now looked shocked.

" Kaiba what's wrong?" Yugi asked concerned.

" Mokuba!" he yelled throwing the cell phone to the floor.

" Mokuba?" they asked.

Kaiba ran up the stairs frantically. The gang followed him confused. Kaiba stood in front of the hospital buzzing sounds surrounding him.

" No," he breathed, " no."

What could be wrong? Find out in the next chapter.

Until next chapter
