Yami Shiro Inazuma: Dark White Lightning by Khitoutsu Hikutsa
Chapter Four: Another Failiure
(Kaido P.O.V)
Yami, this is all well and good, but... We gotta go! Shut up, hikari! I'm having an argument here! Bite me, yami! It's my body, and my body has a Pegasus to slaughter! Why didn't you say so?! Your sorry ass can stay here, me and Mystic can handle Pegasus by ourselves. Whatever. I regained control over my body, booting Yami out so she could materialize her own. "Bye Yami, bye Bakura!" I shouted as I ran off, jumping over tombstones as I ran. Mystic caught up with me before I got to the shore, Marik following slightly behind panting slightly. "Hi guys, you ready to kill Pegafag?"
"Lilliana calls him Maxi Pad, but Pegafag sounds good, too." "Lilliana? Oh, you mean Seto's girlfriend?" "Yeah, she's Pegasus's neice. Didn't you know that?" "Does she wanna help?" "You hafta ask her."
"Hi guys, Seto said I might be able to catch you here. Ask me what, Mystic?" Lilliana asked, looking at three guilty faces. "Come on, what'd I do this time?" Marik elbowed me in the side, pointing at Lilliana's locket. "That's a Millennium Item."
"Duh, Marik. I knew that when she first showed it to me, she just won't let me steal it." I shrugged and looked at the ocean, looking for a boat to jump on or commondier. "I wanted to know if you wanted to help us take your uncle out, or if you were to girlish to get your hands bloody."
"I'm not really one to help slaughter relatives, but I'll help in anyway that I can without really getting in trouble." I shrugged looked back at the ocean, finding the perfect means of transportation. I elbowed Mystic and pointed at a small bot with the cargo hatch open, her eyes showing the same idea I had. "You guys be careful, okay? I can't bail you guys out this time, Uncle Maxi Pad won't give me anymore money since I started dating Seto." A dreamy look crossed over her face, and she started compleately ignoring us. I jumped down and darted into the cargo bay, followed by Marik and Mystic. The three of us stayed crouched in the dark, cramped cargo bay until we were well away from shore. Then we took over the main ship, steering the boat towards Duelist Kingdom Island. Mystic cut them loose before we jumped off, leaving them with the threat of death if they mentioned us.
"This is gonna suck if we're caught, it's broad daylight." "Marik, shut up!" I said, peaking through a window. "Damn! It's Croquet!" I jumped back down, landing lightly next to Marik. "Come on, we can make the same pathetic entrance I made last time."
"What if they're guarding that door again, they were guarding it last time." Mystic said, only agitation behind her voice. "It's only been two days, they aren't bound to have forgotten you since then." I thought about it for a minute, then smirked.
"Easy Mystic, we'll just hafta kill 'em." I jumped up into the same tree I'd climbed two days ago, grabbing Mystic's arm and pulling her up while Marik climbed up. Pearing through the window, I noticed the newly placed security. He Mystic, d'you still have that bottle I handed you before we left?"
"This isn't the time for alcohol, Kaido!" "It's not alcohol, it's chloroform." "What the hell is chloroform?" "It's a drug. It knocks people out, and keeps them out for about 12 hours." I pulled a black bandana out of my back pocket, holding my breath while I doused it in chloroform and jumped through the window. Holding the bandana over the guards mouth and nose, he was out within a few seconds. "Come on guys, it's safe for now." I said as the other two piled into the room, taking a peak out the open door. "So... do you have enough of that with you to knock them all out?"
"We'll worry about that when we find more guards, I killed most of them off last time I was here. If Maxi Pad can replace his entire security staff in less than two days, he can't be screening them very well." I said, glancing out into the hall. There was no one there, but I stayed on edge the whole way to where I figured Pegasus would be... A home office of some kind. I snapped my fingers lightly, a few Dark Knights appearing in a circle. "Go! Find out what you can, kill only if you must. And make sure Croquet stays alive, I wanna kill him myself. There's a card in this house somewhere that I'm interested in, the Devil's Judgement card. Find it, and bring it to me in one peice." They sulked off when I quit talking, the permanent evil smirks on their faces broadening. "Come on, we'll find Pegasus while they find me that card."
"You're not after a God Card, Kaido?" Marik asked, taking a look into an open door. "Devil's Judgement is much better, Marik. It compliments Ultimos so much better, and Ultimos is stronger than even a God Card... With or without Devil's Judgement, not even Exodia Necross could beat it." "So... what's this Ultimos thing you keep talking about, some kind of Duel Monster?"
"Better... it's a dragon!" I pulled at the chain around my neck, revealing a necklace like the ones Seto and Mokuba wore. Mine was black, silver and ice-blue though, not red, yellow and black. I clicked it open, revealing a blood-colored dragon with black eyes. It's pupils were silver lightning bolts, and it's exposed fangs dripped of black venom. (A/N: i have a thing for black and silver, can ya tell?) My eyes flashed to match the dragon's, silver pupils and all. Marik took a step away, but Mystic hit me as hard as she could in the back of the head. My eyes shifted to a clouded blue, and I clicked the case closed. Tucking it back into my shirt, I continued walking until I found the room we were looking for. "Now!" Marik kicked the door in, but Pegasus didn't even flinch. "Lemme guess, you saw us coming Pegasus?" He flipped a cell phone closed, a satisfied smirk on his face. Next thing I knew... I felt an extreme pain in the back of my head and I passed out.
Some Hours Later; Domino City Prison
I woke up laying on a hard granite floor, barely able to see. When I could see straight, I noticed I was in a jail cell with Marik and Mystic... both of whom were still unconscious. I looked for a guard, finding more than enough of them. Mystic sat up and rubbed her head, Marik not far behind. "What the -?"
"You brats get a phone call each, make them quick." He tossed Mystic's cell phone through the bars of the cell, entitling her to the first call. "You guys are gonna regret this when Seto finds out about this, what time is it?" "Two-thirty in the morning, and you don't mean Seto Kaiba... do you?" "Sure do, he's my brother!" "Uh-oh, we're dead! We're all gonna die, just dig a grave for us now!" Mystic speed-dialed her brother's office phone number, holding it away from her ear when he shouted "WHAT?!"
"Hey Seto, you'll never guess where I am! Jail!" I heard more shouting, then Seto got quiet. "So... can you come bail us out oniichan? Pweeze... I'll love you for ever!" "Hell... I'LL love him forever if he gets us outta here!" "Did you hear Kaido, she'll even love you forever!" I shuddered openly at what had come out of my mouth, but heard Seto say something about being on his way. "YAY! Thank you, Seto!" She handed me the phone next, knowing Marik had a long-distance call to make. I punched out my buddy Yami Yotokai's number, hoping my fellow bandit was awake at this hour. Hello?
"Yami! You're awake, that's good! I'm in jail, I'm gonna be late getting home." Kaido... What the HELL? How does the Great, Uncatchable Hiryuu Bandit get caught? "Easy, they knock her out." I ain't risking breaking you out, you know that. Call that Kaiba guy next time, he's got the cash to bail you out. "You asshole, Mystic called Seto and he's going to bail us out. I just figured I'd call and tell you that it would be me coming in at who knows what time and not a theif." Oh, well that's different. Okay, I'll be sitting downstairs when you get home. "Thanks Yami, see ya in a bit." I hung up and passed the phone to Marik, who slowly dialed his 'tomb' in Egypt. We listened while Ishizu shouted at Marik from the other end of the phone, seeing as she didn't even know he was gone until after he had left and called from a payphone in Domino. Marik hung up and passed the cell back to Mystic, who pocketed it and refused to hand it back to the guards.
"Let them go, some one's paid bail on all three of them." Some one shouted from the front, sounding scared. The guards unlocked the cell door, handing everyone their respective weapons. I glared at the guard who seemed to recognize my face, then saw the guard pale noticably. "Sh-she's the Hi-" was all he got out before he was dead. I had attacked too fast for anyone to see my arm move, then finally drew my sword to reveal the blood sliding off. All the other guards fell down, their own injuries finally starting to bleed.
Twenty Minutes Later; Kaiba's Office
"I'm not paying you to get arrested, Seiyousa! I'm paying you to kill Pegasus, which you have failed in doing twice already!" Seto paced his office and shouted at me, Mystic and Marik standing outside the door. "How come you keep failing at taking Pegasus out, what will it take to get you to finish him off?"
"I told you when you hired me there were no assurances I'd get him the first shot, or the second for that matter. This isn't the first top security guy I've gone after, you know that from when I was hired by Pegasus to take Gozaburo out. I failed at that because he told me the truth about my parents, the truth about their death's. HE was the one holding that gun, not your uncle like I was origionally told." I shouted back, finally getting Kaiba to look at me like I had worse problems than he did. "My parents are burried in the Domino Cemetary, I go there to pray everytime I'm here on buisness. You had your father for 5 years after your mother died, I sat there and watched them kill both of my parents. I sat there with my hands tied behind my back and my eyes taped open, mom right next to me while dad was brutally murdered. Do you know how it feels to watch your parents be murdered when your only two-years-old, Seto Kaiba?" I glared at Kaiba, silent tears on my face. "I watched them die, then barely survived... HIM attacking me. That's why I became a bandit, so I could kill the bastard who killed my parents..."
(Narritive P.O.V.)
Kaido fell silent, the name she'd shouted ringing in the silence. Standing just outside the door, Mystic and Marik both muttered a quiet: "Oh my god!"
TBC...
hehehehehe i bet you guys thought i was gonna tell you who it was, didn't you? if you can guess, then good for you. if you can't, then that's why it's suspense. for now, just read the reviewer responses and drop one yourself.
Mystic Kaiba: i was gonna put him in briefs, but you know how that works... sorry about that, it sounded like a cool idea at the time. sorry to make you sound like mutt-boy, i was half asleep at the time.
VeryShortMidget: don't get used to kaido's soft side, last chapter and this chapter are the only places it shows up for a while. wow... someone likes it, what a shocker. i didn't expect anyone to really read this until it was over and done with, but y'all have proven me wrong. oh yeah... UPDATE THROUGH IT ALL!
