Karria: Ok, Yami has gone out to get some supplies.

Shayba: Do you know who the kidnapper is?

Karria: Yes and I'll tell you if you do the disclaimer

Shayba: Oh all right, Akkadia has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters. She only owns the story idea so don't sue. Now can you tell me?

Karria: whispers something in her ear

Shayba: You have got to be kidding!

Karria: On with the fic!

A/N: Ok, I am so sorry for not posting sooner. My school's computers block this site so the only place I can post is at the library. But I didn't have time to type this up! I hope you guys will forgive me! Ok, I'll shut up now and let you read chapter 9. It's from Seto's P.O.V Enjoy chapter 9!

Chapter 9 I Know More Than That

I fired razor sharp daggers straight into Kietosaki's very soul, causing him to step back in fear. I could feel my millennium key glowing brightly against my tanned chest, scalding to the touch. The eye of hours dancing upon my glistening forehead, "Tell me, what is your name?"

Keitosaki gazed up at me with fear dancing in his green eyes. He started to say something then stopped. After a few seconds he spoke, "My name is Kietosakei, what's it to you?"

I could not really tell if he was trying to be brave or if he was trying to piss me off, "Well Kietosaki, does the name Kaiba mean anything to you at all?" I patiently waited for a reaction and sure enough I received one.

Kietosaki went completely in shock. His eyes went wide as beads of sweat popped out of the pores on his tanned brow. He was trembling hard as he managed to speak, "I thought you were dead. I saw them kill you with my own eyes. You and your little brother, Mokuba."

I slightly winced at the mentioning of my little brother, Mokuba. When we were younger, my brother and I ran into some trouble. Something happened after they had seen us. Since that terrible night, my little brother has been unresponsive. He only eats and sleeps. It shatters my soul whenever I go and sit next to his bed knowing there is nothing I can do to bring him back to me. But there was no way I was going to let this bastard know, "Well for your information, Mokuba and I are doing just fine. How we escaped is none of your business." I had a feeling he was going to ask me that. To be honest, I don't have the slightest idea, "Now you have two choices. Option A; you walk away right now and never touch this girl again, no blood, no pain."

Kietosaki smirked, attempted to look seductive towards Shizuka then turned his expression to a glare and focused it on me, "What's Option B?"

I sighed, "Pretty much the opposite of A. But if you need a full explanation, let me spell it out for you. I make you." I knew I would not have to wait for an answer. Kietosaki stormed towards me. His speed, however, was tiresome and I managed to knock him down without even breaking a sweat. I grabbed a fist full of his dirty brown hair and slammed his head into the ground a few times. Once I was sure he had learned his lesion I stepped back and simply stated, "You should have chosen option A, but you are like all the others. Now get the hell out of my sight." Kietosaki did not need to be told twice. He took off like a scolded dog. I turned around to face Shizuka, "Forgive me Shizuka. I did not intend to startle you that way."

Shizuka slightly bowed, "No your Grace, please forgive me. I..." she stopped, "Wait, how is it you know my name? And why did you rescue me? I am merely a commoner. I am no use to anyone."

I chuckled knowing she would ask how I knew who she is, "Well Shizuka, does the name Jonouchi mean anything to you at all?"

Shizuka's hazel eyes were wide open like saucers. Her voice was caught in her throat for a few seconds, "How do you know Jonouchi?" she hesitated before speaking again, "Who are you?"

"I know a lot more than that. I know when you were seven years old your family moved to a new village. I know your brother never left your side, even when your parents started fighting. I know you and he were separated playing a game called, 'Where's the Treasure'", I sighed deeply, And I know where your brother is this very moment. As for who I am. Well let's just say I am second in command at the palace."

Shizuka bowed deeply, "Your Grace, please forgive me for speaking out the way I did. I was not away of your true identity. Before you punish me I have but one request. Please tell me where my brother is."

"Your brother is save and sound at the palace. He was sold into slavery after the two of you were separated. I chose him out of ten other slaves to be mine, "I walked over and knelt down. I placed my hand under Shizuka's chin and tilted it up until her hazel eyes were locked onto my own blue ones, "As for your punishment. I can't think of a better one than this," I slowly leaned in and ever so gently pressed my lips to hers. The kiss seemed to shame the flavor of honey itself. But what really made it amazing was that she returned the kiss without any sign of hesitation or fear. I slowly pulled away and smirked, "Was that too harsh for you?"

Shizuka's cheeks turned dark red, making her even more beautiful than ever, "I have never been kissed that way before. Guys that attack me are usually forceful and rough."

I nodded understanding, "You mean like the way Kietosaki was right?" I could still visualize that bastard in my mind. I turned to see Ra preparaing himself to set behind the sand dunes, "Well I think it's time we head to the palace. I believe there is someone there waiting to see you."

Shizuka's face lite up with joy, "Oh thank you, your grace." She walked over and pulled out a locket identical to the one Jonouchi had and opened it. Inside was a picture of Jonouchi at about the age of ten, "I have kept this with me all this time. I just hope my brother hasn't forgotten me."

I led Shizuka over to my horse, Thunder. I lifted her up onto his back and climbed on myself, "Hold on tight; Yaw!" Thunder took off towards the palace gates. I could feel Shizuka tighten her grip around me. When we arrived at the palace, I helped Shizuka down and led her into the palace. We stopped in front of a door, "Wait here and don't come in until you hear me say your name." I walked into the room to find Yugi, Yami, and Jonouchi talking quietly with Marion, "Jonouchi, I have a surprise for you. Come in Shizuka."

Shizuka walked into the room, "Hello big brother. It's nice to see you again," she waited patiently for her brother's reaction.
