Elsiey: Anyhow… We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh obviously :ignores Jaa-1: and please enjoy yourselves. :)
Chapter 4: Diverging Point
Later-
"Stop here," said Téa.
"But the Museum is still a mile away," noted Kaiba.
"Yeah, we don't want them to suspect us. And anyhow, I have to pick up a few things," answered Téa.
At the front door of the Tokyo Museum-
"How are you going to get the watch?" asked Kaiba.
"You have your ways, I have mine," answered Téa and Kaiba pretends to get ready while Tea looked for another entrance.
At the rear entrance of the museum-
Duke was already there to meet her.
"Do you have everything?" asked Téa.
"Only if you have your end of the bargain," answered Duke.
"All here," said Tea, motioning towards the suitcase in her hands.
"Excellent! You will have everything you need in here, except for one thing," said Duke.
"And what would that be?" said Téa.
"All the luck in the world." said Duke as he took what he came for and left.
In an empty street of Tokyo-
Kaiba jumped into the car and drove back to the Tokyo museum, "She should be done by now."
At the Tokyo museum-
The alarm was blaring as Téa escaped from the museum, with the watch, and a bag in her hands.
"Get in," said Kaiba, motioning towards the seat besides him. Téa got in and Kaiba started driving.
Suddenly, Kaiba took out handcuffs and locked Téa to the stirring wheel. "I'm going to take you to the police station, and then I'll win," said Kaiba, his smirk firmly in place, almost laughing.
From behind, police were chasing behind them.
"How did you manage to do everything? I know you didn't do it all by your self. Tell me from the beginning," demanded Kaiba as he drove along.
"Well first, I took the picture..."
"That's impossible, it was in the dark, I would have seen the flash… and you." argued Kaiba.
"You were right under a street light," answered Téa pointedly.
"That doesn't explain how I didn't see you" said Kaiba.
"Did you look all around you?" said Téa.
"Ah..."
"I was quite far, and my camera zooms quite far too. Also, I was wearing black," said Téa.
"How do you know I was there at that exact moment?" asked Kaiba.
"I was following you for some time now," replied Téa.
"Why?"
"The gun that was attached to the sign, didn't have any bullets in it," said Téa, ignoring Kaiba's question, which obviously irritated him. But he didn't mind that much. His desire to know what's going on was greater.
"How come nobody told me that?" asked Kaiba.
"I don't know, I guess nobody wanted to embarrass you. By the way, the mine was a dud."
"What!" exclaimed Kaiba. "What are you going to tell me now, that the bomb in my mansion was somehow a dud too?"
"No, that was the real thing."
"How did you get that?" asked Kaiba.
"Duke helped me, and he helped me with the phone booth as well, but I didn't really have a SSR 4000," answered Téa.
"And how were you able to see my movements in the building?"
"Duke again, he has a cousin in one of the gangs and he let me monitor the surveillence cameras."
"How about my car? And how did you ever get into my mansion, while we're at it?" asked Kaiba.
"Did you get hit in the face by a pie last week?"
Kaiba scowled at the memory, "Yes, but how did you know?"
"I helped Mokuba pull off that prank, and while he wasn't looking, I took the liberty to add a few things to your phone and car. I got your e-mail address from him too."
"How did you get into the museum?" asked Kaiba.
"Duke."
"Duke again? I understand that he has the money to give you things, but to help you get into the museum, that I don't understand. What did you do to make him help you like that?"
"I got him to help me by giving him your plans to the next virtual reality system you were going to make…"
"And you got that from my house, right?" said Kaiba, now mad at Mokuba.
"Yes, I took your papers and downloaded the rest on to a floppy. Duke wanted to make a sort of prototype of your system and claim the idea was his. He plans to make it before you do so that even if you make it, it would be a copyright."
"Punk," Kaiba muttered, momentarily mad at Duke.
"He gave me a tool that allowed me to take the watch without triggering the alarm and a tool that disables the cameras."
"And you apparently failed," said Kaiba, looking at the police from rear mirror.
"After I got the watch, I got slightly excited and was careless enough to trip over an infrared detector."
"There's still one more question you haven't..."
SPLAT!
"Sorry" said Téa, trying to reduce her coughing while taking out a tissue. But Kaiba didn't hear. He was still staring at the blood on his window, and a realization came to him.
"You never told me you had cancer!" said Kaiba, shocked.
"You never asked..."
There was a moment of silence.
"I wanted to have some fun before I die. I chose you to play the game because you were a genius. The smarter the person, the more fun the game is," Kaiba now understood everything.
"So this is all about your last will," said Kaiba, "But you're still going to jail."
"I don't think so," said Téa, opening the bag and revealing a bomb, "Don't make me press the button."
"This game again," said Kaiba, pushing the button himself, setting the timer.
"I'm willing to die anywhere except for in the police station," said Téa, looking like she's about to faint.
"You're serious now aren't you?" said Kaiba, almost sounding nervous.
"You pushed the button, not me," said Téa.
Looking at Téa for a few seconds, Kaiba picked up the phone and dialed 911, "There's a bomb in the car, please stay back," Kaiba got out of the car and walked slowly out of the car...
Then the car started moving again.
"Damn it, I should have taken out the keys," mumbled Kaiba.
"Why did you let him go!" asked Shaadi, incredulous.
Kaiba shrugged, "The bomb looked real."
An outright lie, of course.
One month later-
Kaiba was reading the newspaper. Or, to be more specific, the headline news:
An anonymous person donated 30 million dollars to the cancer fund.
Later on, Kaiba decided to go down to the cemetery to visit Téa's grave.
Placing some flowers down on her tombstone, Kaiba said honestly, "It was a nice game," and walked off.
Somewhere else, in jail-
"Somebody... help me…" said Bakura, looking pathetic.
In the Church-
Marik looked at the 'For Sale' sign in front of the church and sighed, "It's been fun, but it's time to move on…"
"But, Master Marik, what about the real father confessor?" Odion asked.
Marik shrugged, "He died. Why do you ask?"
Odion sweatdropped, "Never mind…"
Jaa-1: Wasn't that great?
