"That's nonsense," Kaiba said still sitting against his chair.
"Come on Kaiba! We need you this time," Joey yelled looking at Kaiba modestly. They were in Kaiba's office. Huge, of course, 'almost as big as Kaiba's head', Joey said once. Yugi smiled at the memory.
"You've always needed me Wheeler. I see no reason for me to waste my money running after another psycho on this planet. I am no policeman."
"Kaiba. We need your help. We are talking about the fate of the world here!" Yugi yelled looking a bit flustered.
'I should have known Kaiba would have resisted this. He never did forgive me for putting Duel Monsters on a hold.'
'Don't give up just yet Yugi. I think Kaiba knows he's going to help us. I think he just likes to argue with Joey.' Yami thought-spoke to Yugi. Yugi nodded. Kaiba did look like he was going to give in.
"So who else to I have to parade around the planet? Wheeler, Yugi, and his cheering squad?"
"Actually just the 4 of us." Yugi whipped around to see who had spoken. It was the last people he would except to see.
"Marik! And... Skullz?" Skullz nodded looking pleased with himself. He had an odd smug look on his face. Kaiba made a move to call his security.
"Tell me why I shouldn't toss you out of my building right now."
"Don't be that way Kaiba. Yugi just did me a favor. I want to repay him." Kaiba looked questioningly at Yugi. Yugi had forgotten that Kaiba was knocked out during the shadow fight between him and Skullz's Dark Spirit. But Yugi had another question for Skullz.
"How did you escape?"
"Oh. That was easy. That guy who brought us to the temple opened some sort of wormhole thing. Brought Sting and me through it. So, I just used it to get back."
"I didn't see any wormhole."
"It was built into the wall."
"How is Sting doing?" Skullz shock his head.
"Not that well. He has serious amnesia, and that's when he's awake. He is passed out most of the time." Yugi stared into the eyes of Skullz.
'He is still emotionless. Even when talking about his sick friend.'
"So, when we leaving?" Joey asked. Kaiba shot him a glare and Joey chuckled putting his hand behind his head, ruffling his hair.
"So. I am supposed to use my plane with my fuel to bring all of you along with someone who wanted to kill me..." Skullz eyebrow rose. "...On a treasure hunt, chasing down some psycho." Yugi smiled.
"That sums it up Kaiba." Kaiba sunk into his chair, rubbing his fingers on his temple.
"I hate you all, you know that right?" Yugi chuckled, Joey and Marik smiled, Skullz remained emotionless.
"So your in?" Joey asked again, only to receive another glare from Kaiba.
"(Sigh) Yes Wheeler. I see I have no choice." Yugi nodded.
"Good so it's Kaiba, Joey, Marik, Skullz, and me?" Everyone nodded except for Kaiba who still seemed to be regretting his decision. But he brightened up a little bit after a second.
"Actually, I can field test these now." Kaiba turned around, grabbed a large box, and put it on the table. He opened it and all the boys in the room leaned in.
"Oooooooo." Joey grabbed the object and slid it on his arm. "New Duel Disks. Nice!" Kaiba moved to take back his invention, but he thought against it.
"That's right Wheeler. And they're worth more then your life, so don't drop it you oaf." Joey growled and Kaiba smiled triumphantly.
"So what are the teams?" Yugi asked. Kaiba whipped around, surprised by the question.
"Teams?" Kaiba asked darkly. Yugi looked worriedly at him.
"Well, I thought it would be better if we went in teams to the three remaining temples. Guarding them at the same time." Kaiba looked furious.
"Three of my planes? THREE!" Kaiba turned away. "No Yugi. This deal is off. I am leaving."
"Come on Moneybags. Can't spare a couple of planes?" Joey had his turn to grin as Kaiba looked a bit flustered again.
"Don't test me." Kaiba looked around to the rest of the group staring at him. "You are all against me? Fine. Three ways to get there, but I refuse to go with Wheeler." Yugi smiled, relieved Kaiba was still on board.
"How about me and you Kaiba?"
The arguments raged on about who will go where for a couple of minutes until the groups were decided. Yugi and Skullz, because Yugi seemed to be the only one who had any trust in Skullz. Joey and Marik, because Kaiba refused to go with either one of them. And Kaiba was to go alone, because he was so angry over the whole ordeal.
"Fine. And when are we all going on this trip?" Yugi giggled at Kaiba. He looked rather beaten and tired.
"As soon as we can Kaiba." Kaiba sat back into his chair. He twisted it around, refusing to look at any of them.
"We will go tomorrow."
"Thank you, Kaiba!" Even behind the chair, Yugi could see Kaiba shake his head. Yugi just giggled again, and led the group out the door.
