A chilling wind rustled down the street as the dark haired girl stopped at the corner of the brick building. Slowly she peeked around the corner, her green eyes taking everything in from the narrower street beyond. She watched as the shadowy figures talked. A bit of anger arose in her and her fingers enclosed around the building's edge absentmindedly. She strained her ears to try and hear what the people were mumbling in Gaelic. She was so intent on what was happening she didn't hear someone come up behind her until they spoke.

"What are you doing?" The guy asked, annoyance clear in his tone. Startled, the girl jumped. She spun around to face him, glaring daggers at the new comer.

"What are you trying to do, scare me to death?" Bree demanded.

"Don't give me any ideas." Kaiba advised coldly.

Bree narrowed her eyes at him. "Aren't you suppose to be trying to get directions to the hotel with Yugi?"

"Yugi can take care of himself." Was the bland reply. "I was curious of what you were up to."

"If you must know I was following someone."

"What for?"

"What do you care?"

"Well, for all we know you could be working for this Gem Keeper and are setting us up for something."

Bree crossed her arms defensively. "Are you always this paranoid?"

"Only when people are sneaking about and are refusing to explain why." Kaiba explained, crossing his own arms across his chest. "Almost as if they're hiding something." He added.

The girl gave an aggravated sigh. "While I was waiting for you two I saw the guy that Neil went after earlier tonight, right before he disappeared. I was following the guy because I think he might know what happened to Neil."

"I highly doubt he does." Kaiba told her.

"We'll see." Bree muttered, then turned to glance down the street in time to see the man she had follow getting into a car and driving away while the others that had been talking to him enter into a pub.

"Looks like he's getting away." Kaiba said mockingly.

Bree glared at him and went down the street to the pub. "Well, come on." She ordered over her shoulder. Instead, Kaiba leaned against the building. Realizing he wasn't following her, Bree turned to him. "Now what?"

"I don't take kindly to orders." Kaiba told her.

Bree silently screamed to herself. "Fine!" She shouted at him. "I'll go alone!" She turned on her heel and continued over to the pub, throwing the door open and disappearing into the noise. With a sigh Kaiba followed.

The inside of the pub was a deafening sea of people, chatter and smoke. Half coughing, Kaiba made his way through the waves of people until he caught sight of Bree sitting down at the bar and start to talk to the man beside her. It took almost five minutes of pushing through people before he finally was able to get to her side.

"Oh, so you did decide to join me." The girl shouted to be heard over the low roar around them. Not waiting for an answer, Bree pointed to the haggard man before her who was drinking heavily from his glass, allowing half of its contents to stream down the sides of his face. "This guy told me where the guy I was following went to."

"Wonderful." Kaiba told her, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Can we leave this place already?"

"What, you don't want a drink?" Bree teased. When Kaiba glared at her she stood from the barstool. "Fine, I see you're not a people person." Kaiba grabbed her arm and began pulling her to the door.

Once outside they past a group of three older men who had just parked motorcycles beside the pub. Upon seeing Bree one chuckled and another whistled.

"Hey, honey." A large fellow with sandy blonde hair called to her. "Leaving so soon? Why don't you come inside and I could buy you a drink." He stepped halfway in front of her.

"Bugger off." Bree snapped at him, using her shoulder to push him away as she walked past.

"What's wrong? You're boyfriend might get mad?" Another asked, nodding towards Kaiba.

The brunette beside him smirked. "Why don't you come and have some fun with real men?" He chuckled and nudged his friend.

Bree turned to the bikers. "Well, if you find some real men, why don't you come and tell me? Until then, I have better things to do."

"Awe, come on sugar." The large blonde said, moving towards her. "We could show you places you've only dreamed off."

Before she could retort Kaiba stepped between her and the biker. "She said no." He said dangerously. "Or is that too complex of an answer for your peanut sized brain to understand?"

"What was that?" One of the other bikers asked, taking a step forward.

"You heard me." Kaiba uttered. "Now, why don't you get on your little toys and run home, I think there still might be cartoons on for you to watch."

"You know, I think he might be right." The smallest of the three mumbled stupidly. His friend that stood beside him hit him upside the head. "What?" The little one demanded.

The large blonde before Kaiba and Bree scowled down at them, his hands balling into fists at his sides. The brunette biker came up beside him and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Hey, cool down. Let's just go inside and drink, ok?" The blonde didn't say anything, but let his friends lead him inside, leaving Bree and Kaiba standing in the street alone.

"Morons." Kaiba muttered, then turned to Bree. The girl was smiling up at him, making Kaiba frown. "What?"

"You stood up for me." Bree chuckled.

"Your point?" He asked.

"No one's stood up for me before." Bree explained. "Not even Neil, he always said I could take care of myself."

"He sure sounds like a nice guy." Kaiba muttered, but Bree didn't hear him. Kaiba looked around. "So, where did this guy that you were after go?"

"I was told he was heading back to the club me and Neil saw him at." Bree explained. "And that's across town."

"That will take us more than an hour to get there." Kaiba said sourly. "He'll be gone again by then. But something tells me you're still going to try and go after him."

"Yes." Bree told him.

Kaiba crossed his arms. "Alright, explain. How are you planning on getting there?"

"With this." Bree said, holding up her hand to reveal a key chain and several keys dangling from it. A sly smile spread across her lips.

"You stole one of the biker's keys." Kaiba muttered, taking the key chain from her.

Bree snatched the keys back. "Not so useless now, am I?" She questioned, then turned to the bikes. "You don't think they'd miss one, do you?"

"I don't care if they do or don't." Was the answer.

Both crossed over to the bikes and Bree tried one by one until she found the one that belonged to the key. Smiling she sat down and gripped the handlebars.

"Oh no." Kaiba told her.

"What?" She demanded.

"I'm driving." Kaiba explained dully.

Bree narrowed her eyes at him. "Why can't I drive?"

"Simple," He said, matching her glare with his own. "I don't want to die."

After glaring at each other for a few moments Bree looked away, released the handlebars, and moved back so Kaiba could sit before her. He sat down and Bree loosely wrapped her arms around his torso as they drove off. Gradually they gained speed, forcing Bree to tighten her grip on Kaiba. As the buildings blurred by she cried directions into his ear, but her voiced seemed only a whisper to him.

Once they had gone down a couple of back roads and even some walkways they had made it to the main street. As they neared an intersection a red light forced them to stop. Bree had begun to giggle as they rode and was now trying to gain control of herself.

"Now where do we go?" Kaiba asked, turning a bit to look at her. Seeing the irritated look in his eye made Bree's giggles cease instantly.

Looking around, Bree pointed to a large three story building ahead. "That's where."

Once the light changed to green they drove there, parking in an alley hidden from the views of anyone who happened to pass by. As soon as the bike stopped Bree quickly released Kaiba, realizing how tightly she had been clinging to him. Getting off the bike she faced the building to hide her blush. The door near them opened and a shadowy figure stepped into the alley, cut off from his only way out by Bree and Kaiba.

Bree grabbed Kaiba's arm, nodding to the new guy. "That's him." Kaiba pulled his arm away from her, tossing a small warning glare at her. "Sorry." She added.

"So, now what?" He asked her, keeping his voice low.

"Just leave it to me." Bree assured him, then began walking over to the new comer. Kaiba shook his head, but followed.

As they approached the guy heard their footsteps and turned to them. He squinted his eyes to see in the faint light. "Do I know you?" He asked Bree. The girl smirked.

"Maybe..." She uttered. Without warning she reached out and grabbed two handfuls of his shirt, shoving him into the building's wall.

"What the-" The guy began, but Bree cut him off.

"What did you do to Neil Tremain?" She asked.

"Who?" As the confused reply.

Bree knocked him against the wall again. "Neil Tremain. The red head I was with earlier tonight that you got into a fight with. What did you do to him?"

"I didn't-"

"Don't lie to me. Where is he?"

"I'm not lying, I swear!" The guy's brown eyes were wide with fear as he looked into Bree's electric green ones, which she now narrowed at him.

"Oh, really now?"

"Yeah, really." Bree's prisoner's voice shook. "Last I saw of him was when I left this place."

"Where did you go when you left?" Bree questioned.

"I got in my car and left, starting driving around until I thought it would be safe to come back here." The man's eyes quickly darted to Kaiba. "That's the honest truth, I don't know where your friend is."

Bree scowled at him, then stepped away, releasing her grip on his clothing. The man gasped, then run past both her and Kaiba and towards the street.

"If I find out you're lying to me, you're dead!" Bree shouted to him before he disappeared behind the corner. She then turned to Kaiba who stood with his arms crossed and an amused look on his face. "Something for you?" Bree demanded.

"No, nothing." He replied. "But now I see why this Neil thinks you can take care of yourself."

"Yeah, yeah, shut up." Bree said, though her eyes danced with silent laughter. "You should call Yugi and see if he found out where the hotel is." She added.

"If he remembered to turn his cell phone on." Kaiba muttered. He reached into his pocket and dialed Yugi's number. After a few words he hung up and went over to the bike. Bree went over to him.

"Can I drive now?" She asked, false sweetness in her tone.

"No." Was the bland reply.

Bree frowned. "Kill joy." But she sat behind him still. Kaiba started up the motorcycle and began to head to the place Yugi had said. Neither said anything more.
