Deborah looked at the spirit and then laughed.

"Hmm." Kaiba grunted.

"You think you're so brilliant. You thought you hid it well, but you led him to me. You fool!"

"Not really. There's something I forgot to tell you Deborah..." Kaiba said squirming a bit.

"What?"

"I have abnormally thin wrists." With that, Kaiba slid his hands out of the hand cuffs. He fell to the ground and towered above her. She laughed. He glared at her.

"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you." Kaiba threatened. Deborah laughed even harder.

"You dare challenge me? You're sorely out numbered. All your friends are held by my guards, and they all have guns." She said as all the goons pulled out guns to their victims heads. Kaiba heard Joey saying, "Kaiba look what ya dragged us inta." Bakura whimpering, "I don't wanna die," Téa and Tristan just staring and Mokuba was staring at his big brother intently, wondering how the elder Kaiba was gonna worm his way out of this one. Kaiba just stared as Deborah laughed again.

"I challenge you to a shadow duel!" Kaiba demanded. Deborah looked at him.

"What?"

"You and I will duel."

"Huh! You think I'm gonna duel you? You're even dumber than I thought."

"Not a duel monsters duel, a Millennium duel."

"A what?" Deborah asked.

"I'm finally ready to use my sorcery, against you. So lets see what you've got Deborah. Play me in a shadow duel." Kaiba ordered. Deborah laughed and pulled out the Millennium Eye as Kaiba pulled out the Millennium Rod. The spectators looked on hopeful that Kaiba would be the victor.

"Diaha (Duel Start in Egyptian)!" Both fighters screamed out.

Deborah went into a fighting stance. "Jitai!" She screamed as a beam of light flew from her fists right into Kaiba's chest. He flew back but recovered quickly. Kaiba stood up straight but then was forced back on the floor by Deborah's light again. Kaiba then rolled onto his stomach "Miriot!" He screamed and sent a ray of fire at her feet, burning her pants.

"Ahh!" She screamed fanning them out. Kaiba took this opportunity to kick her. She looked up and yelled, "Tandoiti!" Causing Kaiba to get whirled into a whirlwind and thrown across the warehouse.

"Ugh! Gecrossi!" Kaiba sent a shot of lightening at her which she dodged. She scrambled to her feet, so did he. They stared at each other for a second. They then powered up for their final attack, the one that would decide their ultimate fate.

"Ohani!' Deborah screamed sending a ray of dark light toward Kaiba.

"Mehari!" Kaiba fought back with a ray of gold light toward Deborah. The rays met in the middle of the warehouse and they tried to force their way toward the other person. Kaiba started to sweat as the gold light started to diminish slowly, coming back toward him. Deborah started to smile until out of nowhere a stronger gold light forced its way onto the battlefield and destroyed Deborah's light sending her flying. Kaiba fell to one knee and looked up to see Yami holding his hand out. Kaiba stared and gave him a look of pure hatred but then changed it to gratitude, or as much as gratitude as Kaiba can give.

"What? It's not possible, you two hate each other, how is he the protector of Kaiba corp?" Deborah demanded.

"Because a long time ago, we weren't true hating rivals. We were rivals of a different sort." Yami explained. The Kaiba stumbled over to Deborah.

"We were cousins." Kaiba stated bluntly. Yami lifted his puzzle.

"I am going to free your heart of your evil ways." The puzzle glowed and Deborah screamed.

The group was standing on the peir watching as the police took Deborah and Ritchie away. Amber smiled for the first time in days as the man she was once imprisoned by was going to be imprisoned himself. She felt the tears fall for the first time in ages, as she wept happily that her nightmares were over.

On the other side of the peir Kaiba was sitting looking out over the water. Until a small spiky haired duelist walked over and sat next to him.

"Kaiba..." Yugi started.

"No Yugi, don't even think about thanking me."

"No it's not that, but, I've been wondering. I've never got a key from you. So how am I the guardian of Kaiba corp?" He asked.

"Open the thing that you keep the gods in." Kaiba said. Yugi took the box off his belt and opened it. Kaiba pulled out a card that showed a picture of a gold key in front of a large cave with the faint glow of a blue-eyes in it. The card was written in Egyptian, like the Winged Dragon of Ra and said on the top, "The Key to the Dragon's Den." Kaiba held the card in Yugi's face.

"Do you know why this particular card says this? I made it that way. The dragons den is my corperation and you hold the key to it's secrets. Keep it safe Yugi," Kaiba said getting up and walking toward Amber and Mokuba.

"Of course Kaiba, after all we do share a bond, don't we?" Yugi asked. Kaiba turned around and smiled at Yugi.

"We're practically cousins Yugi." Kaiba said still smiling. Yugi smiled back, finally knowing that Seto Kaiba, 17 year old CEO of the Kaiba Corperation, considered Yugi his friend. And to Yugi there was no better thing in the world.

Kaiba continued his walk to Mokuba and Amber. Mokuba gave his brother a small smile as he came to a stop in front of them.

"It's ova." Amber said smiling. Kaiba smiled back.

"Yeah, it is." Kaiba said. Mokuba pulled on his sleeve. Kaiba looked down at his angelic little brothers face. "Yeah, Mokie?"

Mokuba's face lit up after hearing his nickname escaping his brothers lips after so long. "Can we go home?" Mokuba said, grabbing Kaiba's hand and then Amber's, "All of us?"

Kaiba looked at Amber and smiled again. "Yes. We can all go home." Amber smiled and the three walked to the limo waiting to take them to their home.
