Chapter 10

Ryou glared at the elevator buttons although he doubted that would do anything to make it move faster. Malik leaned casually against the wall a bored expression on his tanned face Karasu remained unreadable, his deep blue eye's narrowed thoughtfully. Ryou sighed softly to himself looking casually at his watch. Time always seemed to move slower in this sort of situations didn't it? "Nervous?" Malik asked casually after several seconds of silence filled the small metal box. "Yeah." He answered swiftly looking to avoid the subject. Everything about the way his life had proceeded had forced some sort of consequence on some other person. Getting Malik envolved in this matter envolving Danielle...well he would have felt better if Malik had just stayed home today. A ding brought him from his thoughts as the elevator doors opened and he found himself staring down a long corridor of office doors, he assumed the one at the end of the hall ornately decorated was the office of Seto Kaiba. His old "Friend" and one of the many who had a large intrest in Danielle.

The doors swung open as they walked through all the while Karasu's own mind was somewhere other than this office. On something other than the issue of who the man was and why he wanted to speak with Ryou so desprately. For some reason the girl reminded him of someone, he couldn't exactly place who though. However he came out of his daze to look towards the white haired adult as he spoke. "Seto Kaiba." He answered his brown eye's narrowing his voice losing all trace of emotion. This wasn't the Ryou he knew. It was someone totally diffrent. The man sitting at the desk, brown hair, blue eye's narrowing as he rested his chin on his hands and frowned. "Mr. Bakura." He answered in almost the same tone. "You requested to see me?" He nodded at this new Ryou's statement. "What can you tell me about Celestia Crawford?" The brown haired young man's eye's looked on with intrest.

Ryou smirked at this an expression Karasu found very unsuiting as he looked to the blonde haired egyptian who bore a confused expression. Guess that for the time he had known Ryou himself the white haired man had never acted like this. "What can you tell ME, about Celestia Crawford."

The chair before them swiveled around they could not see the brown haired strangers face as Malik looked at his Lover with a confused expression on his face while Karasu himself wore an expression of both intrest and deep thought. "Celestia Danielle Crawford, Born in New england, her father was at some point suposed to be a multimillionare, owner of a company called industrial illusions, She was a painter. Her mother is deceased and at the age of seven Our dear friend was checked into a psychiatric center, at her mothers request. Before her mother died she made several attempts at the girls life, doctors stating that the claims she made showed an ability in the child know as projected Thermography." Karasu frowned as Malik looked slightly confused. "She could project mental images onto film and such?" Karasu asked slightly confused.

"Yes."

"Anyways. Skipping through the rest of her life. Date of Death, is from my memory sometime in April." He looked once again to the white haired adult who showed no emtion. "But if she's dead, then why is it that I just saw her yesterday..and how her father is anything but a millionaire?" Ryou just shook his head and chuckled lightly. Seto frowned. "Has she cloned herself or something? Got another Sadako Yumamura on out hands?" Ryou's mouth twisted into a strange smile, one of almost pure insanity as he spoke barely holding back fits of insane laughter. "It's none of your business you wouldn't understand. Stay out of it before you get hurt." He said before walking out. His laughter still heard ringing in Seto's Ears.

Across town Yusuke looked at Botan thoughtfully. "So What exactly would have happened if this cycle of death hadn't been broken?" He asked curiously. "Simple, Her father would have died shortly after, managing to grieve himself to death. Shortly after a teenager named Ryou Bakura would have died, and found one week later, hanging from his bedroom ceiling." Botan explained in gruesome detail the cycle. Before stoping. "And then there as him..He looked almost exactly like Ryou, but according to our file on him, he was alread dead when he would have been found... It's odd." Botan remarked slightly confused herself. "Anyways, somehow someone rearranged the balance, and now, she's alive and the ones that would have died don't even remember her. Except her father that is." Yusuke looked on thoughtfully. She had commited suicide, she had wanted to die...and as little as he saw something told him she still did.

A wide smirk crossed this man's face as he the bell above the door signaled his arrival. He seemed familiar, in a way other than he looked like the boy who claimed he knew his daughter before her "Death". Something inside Pegasus didn't like him. That something was corrected as a chair flew through the air, the chair his daughter had been sitting in shortly before as the back door slammed.

The chair hit him dead on. As he fell to the floor Bakura smirked. "It seems the kitten is ready to pick up where we left off..." He remarked silently.
