Well I was just working on this chapter when I realized that I have gone on a cliffy spree. Not to mention I am having too much fun uploading chapters, and getting reviews back so you know what Chapter 50 has an excellent cliffy and that's when I am going to stop today MWAHAHAHAH, all review that I have so far will be at the bottom.
Darkstar71: umm there was no third person it was Duke and Katharine that might have been a grammatical error on my part sorry about that.
Chapter 49
Josh and Kisty or Romeo and Juleit
Everyone sat at the table, about ready to eat, "Where is Kaiba?" asked Yugi as he sat down the mash potatoes. "He said he had a hunch," said Josh serving himself the peas. Tea had Chris in his high chair and was feeding him applesauce, "Well that's not like him, when did he go?" she asked.
Atem looked at everyone as he walked into the room, "I am going to see where he went, I have a feeling that something is wrong," he said. Everyone looked at Atem he was dressed in leather and had on a blue shirt almost looking like a stunt man. "You look like, you're going to take your motorcycle to find him," said Yugi. Joey and Mai after settling down the three young boys, "Yeah you do Atem, what's up with the outfit?" asked Joey.
"I will be back in few minutes, umm, Ann how did you and Kaiba get here?" he asked ignoring Joey's comment. Ann nodded, "We came on the motorcycle, he doesn't trust anyone driving him around anymore, you want the tracking signal?" she asked pulling out her cell phone.
"That would help," answered Atem. Yugi and Tea looked at Ann, "You have a tracking device on Kaiba?" they asked. "A precaution if something were to happen," Ann spoke and typed into her phone and then it beeped, "he is at the police station, near a diner," she said putting down the cell phone.
Atem nodded, "thanks if I am not back with him in a few hours send some one to get him, I have a strong feeling that something is wrong," he spoke walking out the door. "Well I am coming too," said Josh. "NO YOUR NOT!" snapped Bakura and Ryou at the same time, "You sit at the table and finish your food boy," snapped Bakura sound a little like he was talking to a five year old.
Josh rolled his eyes, "Yes, sir," he said running his hands through his jet black hair, "Why do I have a bad feeling something happened as well?" he asked himself aloud, everyone looked at him, not knowing that Josh was actually worried about Kisty and a decision she told him earlier that day.
An hour later
"Well looks like Kaiba is at the police station, and what's this? Kisty is talking with Marik, Samantha and Mana, wonder what's happening in that diner?" asked Atem to himself, as he stood in the shadows of the trees in the park across the street to a diner next to the police station. Atem spotted Seto's motorcycle, "He must be talking to Katharine," he muttered. 'Where else would a hunch be?' he thought.
He watched Kisty as she began to fight with Mana and Samantha, about Josh, he watched even closer as he read the words on her lips, "I have to make sure Josh is never happy, or he will do it to me again," she threw her arms on the table and started to cry into it.
"Kisty, why don't you fight it," he muttered and began to walk away but not before hearing something, in a near by a tree and then Atem moved out of sight and it that when everything happened. (Well we know Atem was our mysterious figure one, and soon we will find out who was #2)
Seto walked out of the police station just when Atem followed the car that had our villain in it, with Kisty kidnapped again. Seto looked at the bike and the rider, "Atem? Why he was here or better yet, what the hell is he thinking?" he questioned after seeing the bummer sticker 'kings of games'.
Suddenly Mana came out of the diner, "Seto," she coughed falling down, "He… He has her, he is going to try and kill Josh you have to save Kisty and Josh," she said and passed out on the ground. Seto got on his bike and followed Atem but made sure to keep his distance as they were trailing the real one responsible; while on the bike, he remembered his talk with Katharine an hour before.
Flashback
In the police station
Seto was thought trying to get Katharine to talk, "Look, Kaiba, my trial is in a few days, and I can sit here for as long as you can. I am not telling you shit," she snapped. Seto glared at her, "You know Kisty as well as I do. What did you tell her!" he demanded. Katharine smirked, "I told her, who was really behind the rape, and why it was done," she snapped.
Kaiba smirked, "Now were getting somewhere," he said. Katharine shook her head, "Look, Seto, I don't have to answer your questions," she said. Seto walked over to her, "You would if I kissed you," he smirked.
Katharine looked at him, "Oh no you don't, we ended that binding agreement," she said. Seto rolled his eyes, "It was anything special, just sex Katharine, and if you don't tell me then you won't get any in prison. The only reason your still in jail here at the station is because of your trial since you couldn't post bail," he said.
Katharine smirked, "Your, actually worried about Kisty? Fine I will tell you since you have not threatened my life yet. This entire thing is about Duke, he is Josh's biological father, and he doesn't want the boy to live a happy life ok," she said.
Seto looked at her dead in the eye, "WHY?" he asked Katharine, knowing what he figured out a few hours before Kisty and Josh broke up.
The former Vice President smirked, "Josh was Duke's biological son, yes, and the kid wasn't conceived from a sperm bank like he thinks he was made in normal ways. Josh is the result of Duke having too much fun and hunger for power and cash. Josh's mother was related to some powerful and very rich people, I should know I was her adopted cousin twice removed. Anyways, Josh is the hare to a humungous fortune the problem is in order for Duke to get it Josh has to make it to his 20th birthday without being wedded, or Duke gets nothing. Josh turns 20 here in about two weeks, he almost lost his chance when Kisty and the boy were going to elope, after you were to hand Kisty the contract, she was the problem," spoke Katharine.
"So Duke wants the money and in order to do that he has to keep Kisty away from Josh?" asked Seto.
Katharine nodded, "Exactly he came to her after leaving me here, you see Duke had to make sure that she was to stay away from Josh, or Duke will have her raped again or worse. I wanted the contract to stay in place for Kisty's protection, Kaiba; you see it kept Duke from doing what he did to her at your company lab. I did not set it up Seto, in fact if I wanted any part I wanted Josh, he may be related to me, but it is only by adoption, but I wanted him because of the money not to mention he would have made a good slave for me to make miserable. You were right, I was there that night of Kisty's rape; in fact, I was the one that tied up, Josh and told him what was going to happen to Kisty. This is war for Duke and myself, Seto, your daughter was causality who got caught in the crossfire," finished Katharine.
"You lie," snapped Seto at her words for they filled him with anger that his daughter's rape was nothing more then a trick for Duke to get his hands on some money.
"Am I Seto? Do you think right now that Kisty's is safe, you are wrong? I know what Duke is planning, he know Josh is going to do one last thing before leaving Domino, and that plan is that Josh is going to take Kisty with him to New York. Duke must prevent that from happening, because they have been meeting secretly," snapped Katharine.
Seto leaned back in his seat, while Katharine explained, "While you thought Kisty was working her butt off and you went home, she was really spending time with Josh in her office alone. I know this because I still have people that work there watching her for me, to make sure she is safe away from Duke. I don't want something to happen to your daughter, she is one of the worlds strongest CEOs I have ever worked with, and also Industrial Illusions would be nothing with out her," finished Katharine.
Seto stood there in shock, "Protect her, how Katharine? Duke and You were wrecked her life not to mention scared her for it. Duke tainted my Angel's Princess, and you think I can look past that. By making Kisty unhappy, Katharine, why in the world didn't you tell me SOONER?" snapped Seto. Katharine sighed, "Because after you leave this room, I am dead Seto, Duke's last action is to kill Josh, and your daughter is the bait to do that, once you're out of here I am dead," she said eyeing the mirror next to them.
Seto shook his head, "How do you know all this?" he asked. Katharine sighed, "I have someone that sunk in to Duke inner circle and got me the information, and it was only a matter of time before you would think I was the one holding information to your daughter. Kisty, does not even know that Josh is the hare to the fortune all she knows is Duke wants her away from Josh and the only way to make sure of that is to kill her, tonight as well as his son. Do you know where Kisty is at this very moment, Kaiba?" asked Katharine.
A little pissed off, Seto looked at Katharine, "No, she took off, so why would she even listen to Duke?" asked Seto.
Katharine nodded, "Look at the Kaiba Corp stocks; you know that 30 shares is still missing which was Kisty's first boyfriend's amount, Jake's amount, some one found them and right now she should have them in her hand tonight. My informant told me that Marik found them while going through some of Jake's old belongings, in Egypt, she was a close friend to Kisty however she never really liked Josh," she said.
Seto realized whom the information was coming from, "Mana? Is your informant?" he asked. Katharine nodded, "Yes and she told me that the whole plan she wants to save Kisty and Josh, she believes in not letting the past repeat itself," she said. Seto looked at Katharine, "What past?" he asked shapely.
"Like you and your former wife Alexandra, and your little brother with his little wife, Kisty and Josh share a past in Egypt that ended in tragically. Kisty was your adopted daughter, back then and you raised her as you were Pharaoh since Atem locked himself in the puzzle. She fell in love with a prince that was hiding in the city as the son of a grave keeper, or a commoner's son it is a long story," explained Katharine, as Seto raised an eyebrow towards the story.
Katharine continued, "Your daughter saw threw the entire boy's descries, and once the Prince's true father found out that his son was living in Egypt falling for the princess. He sent mercenaries to start a war but the two tried to stop it, Kisty and Josh stood in the middle of the battlefield your army to the right and Josh's father's to the left. They stood in between your armies, to prevent the loss of thousands. However, Josh's father refused to listen to their pleas to stop the war and shot an arrow at Josh, for he considered his son a traitor for loving a princess of a foreign land. Kisty however took the hit, and again, it will happen, Mana was Kisty's mentor and friend, in the past like she is today, she does not want to see her die again in Josh's arms," spoke Katharine.
Seto sat there, awe stocked and speechless, "Why didn't I try to save her?" he asked. Katharine shook her head, "The texts didn't say that you were in reach only that you were there and saw it all happen," answered Katharine.
"Seto, I should tell you this now, you need to get to Kisty and hid her, before Duke makes his move again, or it will be her life," pleaded Katharine. "How do you know about her Egyptian past?" snapped Seto. Katharine smiles slightly, "Once Alexandra and I were friends and dug in Egypt together on one of our breaks from boarding school, she found out about my little talent, of seducing men, and we became enemies."
"Why do this for Kisty, what does she have to do with it?" he asked Katharine. The woman sighed, "Mana and Samantha are or I should say were my daughters," she said, "I would do anything they asked me to, Mana knows who I am, she has always known. She volunteered to help Kisty and at the same time tried to save me, from becoming like Duke," said Katharine with a small smile, "I guess my daughter in a way tried to save me, as Kisty saved you, but the difference is that Mana, didn't save me in time. Kaiba, you have to go, now," she said quickly looking at the clock. "Duke could strike at any moment, and take Kisty," Katharine added.
Seto walked towards the door, "Katharine, before I leave I have one question," he said turning around. Katharine, sighed, "I know what your about to ask, and the answer is, because Kisty and you need each other," she said. Seto smirked, "You knew I was going to ask that?" he spoke surprised.
"Why I should help you and Kisty? You and her together as a family, it works, and I love Industrial Illusions I would rather die then let that company fall apart even if I have to be nice, now go and save your daughter, she is a perfect match of yourself," spoke Katharine as Seto left running out of the station.
Katharine watched the two guards enter, "I know what you're here do your worse, Kaiba knows your bosses plan," she said, to them. The two guards raised eyebrows, "Actually Katharine we were sent by Josh to move you to a safer felicity," one of the men said.
end flash back
Seto found Atem's bike parked about a block from the warehouse that the car with Kisty and her capture stopped at. Atem was on his bike watching as they pulled Kisty's limp body from the car.
"What the hell," yelled Atem seeing someone stop next to him, "Surprised Pharaoh, come on you think I was stupid enough to let you tail these asses on your own?" asked Seto removing his helmet.
"They have Kisty," Atem said slowly. Seto nodded, "I know and Katharine told me this would happen, Duke is behind this. He wants Josh not to get married and to do, that Kisty has to die," spoke the CEO in a sadden voice. "How they haven't been with each other?" Atem asked. Seto shook his head, "Late work nights ring a bell?" asked Seto. Atem's eyes widen, "That makes sense fake a break up but meet up in secret, nice plan," he said.
"Duke knows or else he wouldn't have taken Kisty," said Seto looking at his bike. Atem looked at Seto surprised, "Why aren't you busting in there?" he asked. Seto shook his head, "If I do that, then the past repeats itself, and Kisty dies in Josh's arms," he answered.
"Then we just will not let it happen again," said a voice in a near by car as two cars pulled up.
Darkstar71: well all I have to say about that crash is look at the second paragraph of chapter 45. Kisty threw a book out the window, to cover up that some one was in her room it was one of Duke's lackeys. "Ann and Mokuba went to the window and looked out they saw a book on the ground, "Well we know what made the crash," said Mokuba lifting up the book and showing it to Seto and Josh."
Tenshi: I will write up a lemon chapter of Kisty and Josh, since I don't have a finalized ending for this story so you will have your lemon chapter however it won't be until around the end.
Ok chapter 50 will be up before I go to bed, it is Oscar night so I figure you all won't get this chapter until tomorrow unless you have become board with it as I have after all the good and funny presenters were done up to the fourth nominated song. Anyways chapter 50 coming soon.
