Chapter4
Bakura was grinning like the Cheshire cat when Ryou got off the phone oh Kami-sam what have we unleashed into the world cackling madly Bakura went to collect his tools of the trade or as Ryou preferred to call them the things that can get you arrested if the police stop you.
Later in the living room Ryou was looking out of his soul room staring at Bakura's assortment of knives cards and other unknown weapons one looked like a razor wire #what are you going to do with them?# he asked cautiously ##I'm going to stop a lot of nasty men from hurting a seared little boy.. What else?## now Ryou could see a lot of gaps in the statement #firstly the nasty men are probably police officers and secondly that this so called seared little boy was a Kiaba which means that the kid is probably telling the law to the lawyers# Bakura waged a finger knowingly ##ahh but hikari that's if there playing by the rules isn't it## #Yes but we cant just start using our shadow powers there bound to notice# ##do you have any suggestions## #well I was hoping that you could come up with something# ##nope..## #ok then I do have one suggestion just promise you wont laugh....#
Mokuba was starting to get really confused, first the police and a social worker turned up at his school demanding to take him into care because apparently Seto isn't his brother! Which now means that they want to arrest Seto for fraud and kidnapping, me Mokuba for the past three years. This just really doesn't make sense to me, and I should know I may only be 12 but I have an I.Q of 130 higher than some of the staff. But the headmaster had just sighed and looked apologetically at me and started telling me in a patronising voice "every thing will be ok, but we really, really need to find your brother."
But Seto and Yugi had been missing for the past few days, probably saving the world again. Not that he was going to tell them that. But looking at the information from that angle it was easy to tell that these police were being misled but what could he do about it. They won't believe me if I told them so 'play dumb' his mind thought, at least until you can call Seto or a lawyer. He sniffled pathetically and said in the sorriest voice that he could muster "Seto is my big brother and he'll prove you all wrong just you see.... He's at Kaiba corp. today so just you phone him up he'll tell you all, that we're family." well if he was going to win their hearts, and prove that he really was an innocent sweet naive child he had only one thing more that he could do. He started to go into one of Tea's friendship speeches only modifying it to fit around family. The headmaster and the police were standing around him looking in awe at the amount of faith he had, whilst his teacher either wanted to laugh or pass out because of confusion. He winked which, obviously tipped the balance and a huge grin broke out on her face 'mental note you really don't give this kid enough credit, he's playing them like fools' the teacher thought as she struggled with her expression finally finding a passable polka face and asking "can I have a few moments alone with Mokuba" for support she mouthed obviously at the police they all gave slight nods before she led the boy from the room. Finding a spare classroom she started to laugh quietly "I don't know where you learnt all of that but that was the most superb piece of acting I've ever seen" "well do you remember Yugi? Just never play poker with him.. You'll lose... do you have a mobile that I can borrow I really need to make a private phone call?"
"Erm... ok this isn't going to be for anything illegal is it"
"Not really just a small lie to Kaiba corp. thanks" he said as she passed over the phone and quickly dialled in a number and said "yes just to warn you Seto will arrive soon and won't want to be disturbed at any coast don't worry if you don't see him enter he'll probably use the back door" and grinning he hung up she looked at him with a confused face "what did you just do?" well if the police want Seto they're going to have to go through security first and brother makes sure that they are very well trained to only answer to him or me but since I'm no longer a Kaiba..."
"but Seto Kaiba isn't there is he?"
"Nope" grinning Mokuba left the room and accompanied the police to the station.
'I wonder if there is any one who doesn't underestimate that kid... I mean yeah sure she knew that the kid was bright, but to be able to think of strategies like that in such a short time that kid could be dangerous...' slowly she left the room praying to any god that was listening that Mokuba would be all right.
That was over an hour ago, now the police had tried to interview him but he had asked for a lawyer because that's what Seto always telling him to do if he was arrested;
.1. Call me,
.2. Get a good lawyer,
.3. If the cops don't play by the rules you don't have to either,
.4. If I can't be found get the police to 'talk law' with my security because that's why I don't hire idiots.
Well he was starting to run out of options, he had ridiculed his brother for his paranoia but now he was glad that his brother had taught him all of his rights and all of the convenient holes in the law although he still thought that his brother was paranoid. just now he realised that some of it was right.... He heard a dull 'BANG' that shook the building down to its foundations "what the..." his cell door burst open revealing a grinning Bakura "your limo awaits Mr Kaiba Sir" "B-Bakura what are..." He didn't have time to finish as Bakura grabbed his arm and started to hurry him towards the nearest exit the police station looked like it was in chaos, officers were running every were "what did you do?" "Not me this is all complements of my dear little Hikari" "w-what, he couldn't, wouldn't!!" "Its always the quiet ones" by now they were out into the street running around tight back streets when they met up with Ryou who was holding a small detonator in his hand. Bakura didn't stop though, he let go of Mokuba's hand and ran straight into Ryou he slowed down when they where inches apart and began to close the gap.. When their foreheads were touching there was a flash of light and there standing were two lights, one brilliant white one jet black both touching but not contaminating but then the two lights seamed to merge together. Forming a multi tone of greys then there was another flash and he looked down to see a panting person on the ground "Bakura.. Ryou?"
The figure raised its head but it was neither, but it was both, the face although softer than Bakura as too harsh for Ryou the eyes where a light brown but then the form shivered and the eyes changed to a dark hazel and the face softened "Ryou is that you..?.." "Yes I'm back.. Come on we have to get going before the police start looking for you." "w-what h-happened, w-where are we going?" "to find the others, we've borrowed one of your brothers safe houses on the outskirts of town the rest of the gang are there." ##humph.. The cheerleading squad.. Let me in control Now, your so tired you'll probably crash the bike## and besides he thought quietly I have one other thing to take care of #ok Bakura# and he gratefully let Bakura take control before going to sleep in his soul room..
Sort I know but that's as far as I've got right now so give me a month and I'll have another chapter up wish me luck...
