Chapter 6: Dream a Little Dream
Tony finally made it to Mr. Kaiba's outer office, which looked like any outer office, save for the fact that it had a giant Blue Eyes White Dragon statue lining one wall and miniatures with lamps in the mouths of the same dragon lining the other walls. Sitting at a desk next to the big dragon was another receptionist.
"Can I help you, sir?" the receptionist asked.
Tony continued to look around and said, "Yeah, I have to see your employer."
"May I ask who is waiting?" the receptionist asked again.
Tony's eyes finally wandered to the receptionist at the desk and said, "Special Agent DiNozzo of NCIS."
The receptionist picked up the phone and said, "Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Kaiba but there is a Mr. DiNozzo from the naval base down the road a little bit…he said he needed to see you…I see, sir. Yes, sir."
She turned back to Tony and said, "Mr. Kaiba will see you now," and pressed a button to unlock the doors.
"Thank you, miss." Tony said as he was entering.
'Well, looks like I need talk to an old coot in order to take the Kaiba I'm looking for to Gibbs.' Tony thought.
When Tony fully stepped into the inner office, he was shocked when he saw that 'Mr. Kaiba' was not an old coot, but instead a young kid of 19.
"Good afternoon, Mr. DiNozzo. How can I help you and the US Navy?"

Gibbs was still walking to Mai's quarters when he noticed Abby was looking intently at something. So he decided to walk in and…'check' on her.
"So, Abby, what do you have for me?" Gibbs asked as he entered Abby's rented lab.
Abby jumped a little when she heard Gibbs voice but got back into her routine and said, "Well, I have a small clue as to what that substance on the lieutenant's dead body is."
She pulled out a sheet of paper from a stack of papers and handed it to Gibbs. Of course, Gibbs was as much in the dark of the symbols and words on it like man was with fire.
"And I'm looking at what, Abbs?" Gibbs asked with a little confusion.
"Here's a riddle for you, Gibbs. What glows in the dark but stinks very bad?" Abby teased.
"Abby." Gibbs said in a half-groan.
"OK, Gibbs. The substance on the body was phosphorus with traces of magnesium sulfate." Abby said.
Gibbs smiled and said, "There, now was that too difficult Abby?"
Abby motioned for Gibbs to follow and went to a lab bench that had the knife on it. She pushed a magnifying glass in front of the blade and continued with her briefing.
"I analyzed the knife we found at the crime scene as well. After I preformed a test, the knife wound on this piece of paper matches the knife wound on Lt. Anderson. We found the murder weapon." Abby said.
"Did you find any prints?" Gibbs said.
"Yeah, the prints on the knife match two people." Abby said.
"…And they are?" Gibbs said with impatience.
Abby pulled a pair of sheets that were still in the printer out and said, "Bakura, Ryou, Age 17 and Ms. Gardner. Looks like we have a 'Bonnie and Clyde' situation."
"Maybe, but we'll find out when Kate returns. She already said that Dr. Cassidy's tale could be true. I'm gonna go to Ms. Valentine's quarters and find out what part she plays in all this." Gibbs said.
He got as far as the door before he heard the snap of a pill bottle opening before stopping. He turned around and saw Abby take a couple of Tylenols out of the pill bottle.
Gibbs smiled and asked, "Headache, Abbs?"
She lightly nodded and said, "Started this afternoon. I was going to lay down a little but with the work that's been piling up…"
"Save it. Take a cat nap and I'll have someone wake you when Kate gets back." Gibbs said.
Abby lightly smiled and went over to a cot to lay down. Gibbs walked away and turned out the lights before he left. What he didn't know was that after he left and after Abby had gotten comfortable in her cot, the gold object that looked like an eye had started glowing. The glow became a pulsing, and that pulsing was going in rhythm with Abby's heart.

Yugi was meditating on the roof of the medical building when he felt a pulsing energy coming from inside the building. It was small at first, but then grew in strength.
/Yami, something isn't right./ Yugi told Yami.
Yami appeared next to Yugi and looked around for the source of the energy pulses. He didn't have to look for long as the pulsing was now big enough for an exact location.
I believe that the pulsing is coming from Ms. Abigail's laboratory. Yami said to his partner.
/You don't think that she found a Millennium Item, do you/ Yugi asked Yami.
"Funny you should ask that boys, I was coming up to ask you the same question."
Yugi turned and saw Dr. Cassidy standing by the doorway that led inside. He had a lopsided grin on his face as he waited for their reply.
The only Item that we haven't found yet was the Eye that Pegasus had before disappearing. I have a theory but we need to test it. Yami said as he outlined his plan.

'Mokuba' was in the private elevator car that only he and his brother had access to. This was the last command that the Voice had for him, and she expected him to do his duty. His brother had to die, than he had to in order not to reveal his friend.
'Just a little farther now, Moki. Then you can have your revenge.' His darker voice said to him.
Yes, it was just a little farther…

Ryou, Joey, Tristan, and Duke were getting bored. In fact, they were so bored that they would be dead if one could die from boredom. Joey and Tristan were arguing over Duel Monsters cards and Duke was going over his sales from the game store. Ryou, however, was just looking out the window. This was his new favorite pastime since he was an avatar to his darker half. When he felt a pulse coming from their eventual destination, he decided that he waited long enough. With a shift from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, he hotwired the car and decided to go investigate this pulsing.
Whatever it was, Ryou wanted to see if it would help him deal with his darker half and anymore scheme that he was planning.

Kaiba moved from his desk to a kind of sitting area beside it. Laying on the coffee table was a sterling silver pot, two teacups, a sugar pot, and a plate of cookies. There was a fire place which had a mirror on the top. The mirror was framed with platinum plating. All, except the cookies and the mirror, had the Kaiba Corp. logo and a different type of dragon stamped in the metal.
'Obviously, this guy likes dragons.' Tony thought.
"So, what you're telling me is that the United States Navy, one of the most powerful forces on the seas, wants me to answer some questions regarding Ms. Valentine's character. Is that it?" Kaiba said with mock disbelief to Tony.
Tony, for the most part, was looking around and almost didn't pay attention to Kaiba until he noticed the silence.
"Mr. DiNozzo." Kaiba said with boredom.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, that's basically the facts, Mr. Kaiba." Tony said.
Kaiba was having a sip of tea when the door opened slightly and a gun barrel pulled into sight. Tony heard the faint click of a hammer being pulled back for a shot, and started to turn around. That's when a shot was heard, something shattered, and a scream erupted from the door.

I'm sorry if I took so long to update but I was plagued with writers block. To Gundam M, I know that my story is starting to look a little weird but all will be explained soon. Don't worry, the story is nearing its end. Don't forget, R&R.
