Chapter 2

A loud ringing can be heard echoing inside an exquisite suite on an expensive hotel. The owner of the suite dressed on nothing but a single white towel wrapped firmly on his slender waist picked up the phone.

"Hello Yami," A soft voice of a woman spoke on the other side of the phone.

Yami smiled at the other end, his voice playful. "Hello Isis or should I call you Silver?" He joked as his other hand went on his hair to dry his locks with another towel.

The woman laughed. "Yami love, how many times must I tell you that it's Isis when on work and Silver when on the motorbike tracks?"

"Ummm," Yami said, a smile plastered on his smooth face. "One more time?"

"Yami!" The woman cried. "Be serious now please!"

"Okay, okay," Yami said. "Now, is it about a job?"

The woman sighed. Yami could almost imagine her on the other side of the phone, her face held just a small amount of make-up, and as her fingers play with her diamond necklace, her clear blue eyes would be clouded as her mind drifts off to debate whether to answer him or not. Yami smirked as he heard her answer.

"Yes, it is."

"Tell me about it." Yami said, all the playfulness gone on his voice. He placed his lean arms on his small waist, a frown on his face as he pulled out a chair and seated on it

"Listen carefully, Darkness." The woman said adapting a formal voice for the occasion. "Yes, there is a job. You know how dangerous it is when talking about details on the phone."

A pause.

Then followed a whisper. "The prince of darkness is on his horse, galloping towards the white castle and his mother awaits for him."

Without further ado, the line was cut.

Yami smiled as he put the phone back in place. Typical Isis, so cunning and so misleading. He went on his bedroom and from a cabinet beside his large white canopy bed he retrieved a pair of black slacks and a simple white t-shirt. Checking his features in a nearby mirror, Yami combed his hair and got a pair of dark shades and black cap. He moved towards his bedside table where he put his guns and jewels. He got himself a silver chain necklace and a handgun.

He picked up his cell a second before closing the doors behind him. Smiling at the passing strangers, he called his driver and asked him to wait at the front of the hotel. He's going to do some visiting today.

Kaiba pinched the bridge of his nose to stop the headache threatening to form at his temples. He groaned and rubbed the back of his neck. Damn, he thought. Why do you have to go back Yami?

He had heard the news yesterday and was not utterly happy about it. For the past 3 years, he and the Mishima Clan had maintained a close friendship, but how come Junta had not told him anything about Yami or their friendship. Looking back, Kaiba contemplated that Junta did drop some remarks here and there about a certain 'friend' duelist that he had meet a long time ago in England.

Damn! Kaiba cursed himself. Why did he become so dense? He's not a dense person, everybody knows that. Just one little hint and his over intelligent mind would be working out suspicions and concluding them and labelling them as truth that more or less was true. But how come he had missed Junta's hints?

Or perhaps he's just dense about information involving a certain spiky-haired man.

He sighed deeply and forced himself to relax on his surroundings. He was inside his peaceful and serene office inside the Kaiba Corporation. Anyone who could have the opportunity to enter it would be in awe. His brown colored wooden table was placed in the middle of the room surrounded by sleek high-backed leather chairs, a book cabinet, a coat stand and a big flat screen television embedded on the walls which Kaiba personally installed just for his little brother-he had no use of television anyway. Placed atop the table was the older Kaiba's perpetually-present laptop, a phone connected to his secretary, a letter opener with a silver dragon on the hilt and a pen that was lying atop the various documents Kaiba had to sign that day.

Then there was a knock on his door, Kaiba tried to ignore it thinking it was just some employee asking for something. But the knocking continued and by the minute Kaiba had the feeling that the knocker was turning impatient. Scowling, Kaiba called out. Reminding himself to give his secretary a good talking to, she knows that the older Kaiba hates being disturbed during mornings.

"Come in!" He shouted, never leaving his seat.

Slowly the door opened revealing a blonde man with soft eyes, fiery attitude and steadfast determination emerged, and most important, someone who Kaiba fondly calls, my Dog.

"Kaiba-kun! Have you heard about the news lat night?" Kaiba's dog whined as he hurriedly ran towards his boyfriend or in this case, his master.

Kaiba scoffed, "Of course I do. How could I not? It's all over the news. 'King of Games Currently CEO of a Zaibatsu', find me a newspaper that doesn't bear those words and I'll give you half a million. The media is all over on it."

Joey ran a hand on his hair. "I can't believe he's here, Kaiba!" A smile blossomed on his lips. "My best friend is here! It will be like old times, hanging out in arcades doing almost nothing! Kaiba I can't wait to meet him again."

"Joey, I don't believe it will be the same like last time." Kaiba said, taking his eyes off the man and resuming on his laptop typing a document or something or the other.

"What do you mean?" Joey inquired.

Kaiba sighed. Trust his dog to be dense as always. "Joey did you know the reason why Yami came back here in the first place?"

Joey frowned. "He's here because of being a CEO over a zaibatsu or something while the head is currently away."

"Exactly," Kaiba said, never taking his eyes away from the laptop. "The zaibatsu is no other than the Mishima zaibatsu. Junta Mishima is the head and CEO of the zaibatsu; he decided to take a vacation and trusted Yami to be its head while he is away."

"Th-then…Then why didn't he let his other children manage it instead of Yami?"

Kaiba sighed and looked at the blonde. "That dog is what I wanted to find out."

Aeaeae

Tea sighed as she tucked a stray hair on her ear. After knowing that Yami is back from yesterday's news she and the gang had been agitated and had all silently agreed on staying on the Kame Gameshop in case Yami appeared.

So here they are, sitting silently and waiting hopelessly for the Gods to answer their prayers.

Tea looked around and drank the sight of her friends, their faces all gracing with a frown. Heck, even Bakura was agitated! It seems that after the former pharaoh had left the country without leaving any reasons, the Tomb Robber had somehow lost his mischievousness. Even his lover, Ryou had no power whatsoever to make the Robber relax.

Silently, Tea prayed to the gods to let them have a glimpse of their crimson eyed friend as she saw the look of hopelessness and sadness on Yugi's face. A while ago, Joey made his way towards his 'boyfriend's' office to try and have a conversation about Yami. It had been an hour after that and Tea expects Joey to come back together with his boyfriend aboard a sleek limousine or something.

And it seems like the god's heard her prayers for a few minutes after, a long and sleek black limousine stopped in front of the shop. Half-expecting for a blonde man with his hands intertwined with a tall brunette emerge the car, Tea and the others slowly walked towards the door to welcome the CEO. And it was of no surprise, when they were amazed when a man dressed in a simple black slacks and white t-shirt with a dark skin complexion, they could not fathom what color his eyes are, nor of his hair for they were covered with dark shades and black cap respectively.

Even though they couldn't see the sharp piercing crimson eyes and wild hair, the smirk and the dark complexion was enough for them to recognize the newly arrived. It was no other than Yami. The King of Games. The former pharaoh…

And the current CEO of the Mishima zaibatsu.

Aeaeae

"Kaiba, let's go!" Joey whined as he led his lover out of his office and in to the car that is waiting for them.

"Really, mutt if whined another time I swear I'll…" Seto was cut off his sentence when the harsh red colour of the setting sun assaulted his eyes, plunging him in to a pool of memories he would rather forget.

Flash back

"Really Seto, must we go through this every night?" A soft silky voice asked in the darkness of the Kaiba Mansion's Master bedroom, both of its occupants naked.

Seto's hand reached out to touch the cheek of the exquisite duelist beside him in his soft bed. "Just say it, Yami please?"

It was not in Seto's nature to beg or to plead, he was used in getting things his way one way or the other. But for this exquisite crimson eyed angel in his bed, he would. For Yami. Only for Yami.

Yami sighed as he leaned to the other's sighs which made the CEO smiled softly. "Ya tebya lyublyu, Seto. I love you, Seto."

"How much?"

Yami chucked softly as he looked outside and noticed the sunrise, plunging the entire black sky with it's radiance. "I think it's time for me to go now."

"No."

"Seto…" Yami softly whined as he got up from the bed only to find a pair of lean pale arms wrapped on his waist.

"No, not until you answered my question." Seto said as he sat behind Yami trailing soft kisses on his spine.

Yami groaned and touched the hands wrapped around him. "I won't tell you." He turned around and cupped Seto's cheek. "But I will show you."

Slowly he got Seto on his feet and led him leisurely towards the Kaiba's bathroom. Once there, Yami slowly closed the door by leaning on it and locking it with his hand while the other ushered Seto's face towards him, kissing him softly and lovingly. Seto groaned and wrapped his hands on his petite lover snaking one of them towards Yami's neck and the other on his ass, cupping it and kneading it softly.

Yami groaned and wrapped his legs on Seto's waist as his lover led them towards the shower room.

Then there came a flash of red. Crimson- red, as red as Yami's eyes. As red as blood.

End of Flash back

The CEO found himself inside his car with Joey talking senselessly about cards and monsters. After Yami left without a word, the duelling world turned to chaos, hundreds of duelist all aspiring the title King of Games emerged battling each other under numerous tournaments.

And sad to say, Seto's love for duelling left together with Yami. Malik and Marik left the country together with their sister to try and find Yami, the last thing Seto heard about them –through friendship girl who had a communication on the elder sister- is that they are staying in a mansion provided by a certain group, and as their letter says, they were in good condition. While Ryou and Bakura stayed and moved on with their lives, though there had always been debates and hateful conversation regarding a crimson eyed pharaoh, God-cards and Millennium items once in a while.

Seto took a glance on Joey and felt something stir on his chest. Whether or not this is love, the CEO had no time to find out for they have already reached their destination. With a bouncing Joey behind him, Seto eased out of the car and walked towards the door of the game shop. And what greeted him is enough to take his breath away for an eternity.
