1Ch 21: Facing the Evil:

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. Never have.

We're getting into the end soon. Maybe four or five. Or even three. Depending on my mood.

The group ran along the peir as silently as they could so that Deborah couldn't hear them. Mokuba was leading them but he himself had no clue where they were going. This kept on until Bakura stopped running.

"Bakura, why have you stopped running?" Yami said looking back at him. Bakura didn't say anything but pulled out him millennium ring instead. The ring then glowed and the points leaned to the left and forward.

"There they are. I can sense Kaiba's Millennium Rod. Lets go!" The usually quiet English boy ordered. Yami nodded and ran in the direction Bakura indicated. The group quickly followed.

Kaiba was smirking and on the verge of outright laughter. Amber looked at him as his shoulders shook, not knowing what to do.

"Uh, Seto, it'll be okay. You guys...uh...have gotten outta worse scrapes den dis, haven't you?" Amber said, trying to comfort the CEO.

"Are they all gone?" Kaiba asked. Amber looked at him again and saw that he was still supposedly crying.

"Yeah...but what does that have to do wit anyting?" Amber asked. Then her eyes widened when she saw Kaiba start laughing like a maniacal maniac.

"Uh...did I miss somethin'?" She asked, totally confused.

"Oh...ha ha...nothing much, just me and my genius brain fooling another fool again." Kaiba said, trying to contain his laughter.

"How?"

"Do you think I would be so predictable as to give Mokuba the key to Kaiba Corp? Hello, every moron that wants my corperation would go after him."

"So you didn't give it ta Mokuba?"

"Nope."

"Who has it?"

"I don't know." Kaiba said smirking.

"You...have no idea! It's da key to everythin in ya corperation and you have no idea who has it!" Amber yelled outraged.

"Yeah." Kaiba said, as if it was normal. "Amber, don't worry, knowing my little brother, he would've called the geek squad and they should be here in about 3...2...1..." Just then he heard, "on 3!' from behind the door. The door busted open and revealed, the "geek squad" standing in front of Kaiba and Amber were Joey, Tristan, Yami, Téa, Bakura, and Mokuba all shocked to see the sight in front of them.

"You what da hell happened 'ere?" Joey said outraged, as Mokuba took a uncertain step toward his brother.

"Seto..." Mokuba lifted a hand to his elder brothers torn shirt and bloodied uniform.

"Hey, don't worry kid, you've seen me at my worst, this isn't even a quarter to that." Kaiba said in his soft voice only reserved for Mokuba. Mokuba nodded sheepishly and started to tear up. Kaiba smiled and Mokuba buried his face in Kaiba's shirt. Kaiba shushed his brothers wails. The two stayed in that brotherly moment until they heard clapping behind Kaiba.

"Touching reunion." Deborah appeared over Kaiba's shoulder. Kaiba heard Mokuba gasp and lifted his head from Kaiba's chest. Deborah smiled evilly at the young Kaiba who tried to glare at her but failed to start the storm in his eyes. Deborah nodded her head causing Mokuba to stare questioningly until he heard slight struggles from behind him. He turned to see the group trapped by Deborah's strong guards. Then he felt strong arms pull him toward Deborah.

"Find the key."

The guard nodded and started looking through all of Mokuba's pockets. Then he went to the locket and opened it. After minutes of searching Mokbua, Deborah became really angry.

"Dammit Kaiba!" She rounded on him and kicked him. "You told me Mokuba had it, and he doesn't. So you lied to me? You think you're gonna get away with it?"

"I already have. See even if you could get the key, you'd never be able to take over Kaiba Corp." Kaiba stated smugly.

"And why not?" Deborah asked through gritted teeth.

"You'd never be able to translate what's on the key, that's why Mokuba doesn't have it."

"Huh, you think I won't be able to decipher your little key. I know nine languages and have many foreign people working for me, I would be able to figure out your stupid little 'cover up' in a snap!" Deborah snapped at Kaiba who again smirked.

"I may only be 17 but I know something you'll never be able to figure out since it doesn't exist. Not anymore anyway."

"What are you rambling about Kaiba!" She demanded.

"You may have a millennium item but you sure as hell don't know what it means." When Deborah just stared at him Kaiba continued, "You may have connections from here to Guam but you'd never figure out what it's taken me 5,000 years to learn."

"What!"

"The reason you'd never figure out what's on the key is because it's a language that hasn't been around for 5,000 years." Kaiba ignored her outburst. "The message on the card is pieces of a puzzle that only one person can figure out. Get it?"

"No, because you're just speaking in riddle, dammit." Deborah said angrily.

"Would it help if I told you that the carrier is in this room?"

"Not really."

"He's the only person who's not as he seems." Kaiba said smirking.

Deborah looked around dumbly until a deep voice rang out in a language that was unfamiliar to all in the room except one person.

"My pharaoh would you step forward?" Kaiba's voice said in the strange language. The guards holding Yami let go as the puzzle glowed. Kaiba smirked as Deborah stared at him puzzled.

"There's the carrier of the key. The spirit of the former pharaoh, Yami."
