A girl was cycling down the street. She was whistling happily and sometimes humming. Her emerald eyes were relaxed and tranquil while her silky black hair flowed according to the wind. Her good looks received some whistling and gazes from guys along the street but she didn't give a damn about it. She's just out to enjoy herself on a beautiful day. Besides, she already sets her eyes on a certain guy and she won't let him go until she gets what she comes for. " Seto Kaiba…," she blurted the name. Then, she smiled to herself. " I must piss him off because the chaos I caused at his office…." She laughed thinking what she had done.
Kaiba was heading home after the chaos erupted at the office. He bet it was the mysterious girl doing. " She's giving me a headache…. Whoever she is…," Kaiba muttered. " You said something, Sir," his driver, Smith asked. " No…nothing. I had a long day and I really want to get home quickly, Smith." There was weariness in his voice. Smith had worked for Kaiba family for a long time, and he never saw Seto Kaiba lost his composure no matter how hard and pressuring the situation is. He increased the car speed.
Mokuba Kaiba was waiting at the house. He was agitated. He heard what happen at Kaiba Corp when he got home from school. He was anxious for his brother to come home. He wanted to know what had happen. While he was pacing at the living room, his brother's car stops at the front door. He ran towards the door. Mokuba saw Seto got out of the car. He seemed very tired and pressured. He postponed his entire question thinking that his brother must have a hell of a day. Seto noticed Mokuba was waiting at the front door. His face was anxious and disturbed. He knew that Mokuba knew what had happen at Kaiba Corp. " Hey, Mokuba…. How's your day at school," Kaiba tried to sound cheerful but Mokuba could trace the tiredness in his voice. " It's ok. But I don't think it's the same for you, right Ni-san," Mokuba replied. Seto looked into Mokuba's eyes. His eyes were full with worry and anxiety for his brother. Finally, Seto blurted, " It's not a big deal. I can handle it. I can handle everything…." Seto walked into the living room. He sat on the couch and laid back his head with his eyes closed. Mokuba knew that his brother was lying. ' He don't want me to worry about it…. But he seems like he cannot handle it alone. Not this time…..' Mokuba sighed. He walked towards his bedroom. As he passed Seto, he wished him good night. Seto just replied with a hum. " Not this time…. He needs someone to support him. Unfortunately…it's not me. Please! Somebody…Help him," Mokuba whispered to himself as he climbed up the stairs to his bedroom.
Seto was very tired. He was getting ready to go to sleep. ' I'm going to sleep like a log tonight..'. He was about to climb into his bed when he saw the CD case in his jacket. He thought about it for a while. " Ah…what the hell…..," Kaiba grabbed the CD case and headed towards his PC. He inserted the CD into the CD driver. With a few clicks on the mouse, the CD's contents appear. The first was a video file. He opened the file. The video started. A man in his late 50's appeared. " Aoki Kazuya ," Seto whispered to himself. ' He died in a plane crash 3 days ago. By the date, this video is captured a day before the crash. What's the girl got to do with Aoki Kazuya. And why I', involved in this?'. Seto's mind was racing fast to answer his question but to no avail. Aoki Kazuya continued talking. " The other files in this CD contain a bunch of codes. Break the codes and you'll find a formula towards developing an invention, my invention that will shock the world. This invention is my best ever. You are the only one who can decode the codes, Aya-chan. Please give a copy of this CD to Seto Kaiba from Kaiba Corporation. Please help him decode these codes. Seto Kaiba will ensure this invention will be safe from any harm and misuse. Mr. Kaiba, if you're watching this, please protects this invention and the person who brings it to you. I assure you you'll find this invention very useful to your company after the decoding process complete. Only Asuke can do the decoding process. That's all I have left to say. To Aya-chan, forgive me for what I have done. I can only beg for your forgiveness. I can understand if you'll hate for the rest of your life. Asuka, take care of Aya-chan. You were born to do that. Do everything you can to help her and make her happy. Sacrifices everything for her! You hear me! Goodbye, Asuka. " The video ended. Kaiba was still staring at the blank monitor. ' Asuka? Who is this guy? And that girl, the so-called Aya-chan? She must be Aoki Kazuya's family. Daughter? How can I find this Asuka? Those codes? What are they protecting? What kind of invention? Why me? And without no rewards?.' Many questions ran through Seto's mind but not even one answer to the question. Seto yawned. Only now he remembered, he was very tired and on the way to sleep. Seto rose from the chair, click the PC into stand-by mode and went to bed.
Seto woke up quite late the next morning. Later, he found out Mokuba told the servants to not wake him up. ' How thoughtful…'. Seto got dressed and headed for his office. Today, he will hunt the mysterious girl from yesterday. ' She own me an explanation about everything.' Before leaving, Seto wrote a memo. He gave the memo to the maid and told her to give it to his brother when he got back from school. He wrote: " Meet me at the coffee house in front of KC. I'll tell you about everything."
Seto sat and relaxed in his chair. H e had given out orders to find the girl and Aoki Kazuya's family. ' Now, all I have to do is wait.' Seto sighed. He knew he's not a patient man. Waiting suffocates him. While waiting, he remembered the CD. He opened the codes. For a while, he was craking his head trying to break the code. 'It's no use. These codes maybe are made-up by Aoki Kazuya himself and only the Asuka guy can decode it.' Seto knew the code was unbreakable without Asuka. ' Again, why me? Why not anyone else? Hell! Why not Pegasus? Everything is giving me headache. When will that girl come to see me? Will she see me again? Of course! She has to! She can't leave me with this mess….' Seto was still having a monologue with himself when a knock on the door was heard. " Come in," Kaiba ordered. John, his head technician came in. He was supposed to give him the report about the breaking yesterday. " So? Finish with the report," Kaiba asked as John walked towards his desk. " Yes, Mr. Kaiba. The report shows that no damage had been done to any of our system. The alarm was set off purposely… like a warning for us. Other than chaos, the breakage had done no harm whatsoever..," John explained. Kaiba nodded. He already knew that that girl yesterday did the breakage. Now, he just has to find her. " OK, John. You may go out…."
John nodded and leaved.
Half an hour later, Maria came into the office. " Mr. Kaiba, the search about the person you asked for had returned empty-handed. There's no known record about the person that you're trying to find." Seto said nothing. He somehow knew the girl couldn't be found. 'DON'T BOTHER TO FIND ME. YOU WILL NEVER SUCEED' These words kept echoing in his mind. " What about Aoki Kazuya relatives," Kaiba asked his secretary. " Aoki Kazuya was assumed dead in the plane crash 4 days ago. He used to have a family. He had a wife, two sons and a daughter. His entire family member died before him in a shipwreck about 10 years ago. His partner said he stopped working with him about 2 years ago. He received no news from him until recently, the plane crash." Kaiba nodded. Maria knew she had done her job. " Any other order, Mr. Kaiba," Maria asked before leaving the room. Seto just shook his head and signaled her to go. ' No relatives or recent partner? Then, who's Asuka? And why is he apologizing to Aya-chan? Again Seto Kaiba was left with a thousand question but no answer.
Like the memo he had written to Mokuba, he went to the coffee house in front of KC. He waited for 5 minutes before came to the place. He was very excited to hear the story. After their order arrived, he told Mokuba everything: the girl, the security breach and even the codes. Mokuba listened carefully. He nodded a few times. " That's it. Everything that had happens yesterday. And I think it's not going to end yet. It's just the beginning," Seto finished his story. Mokuba nodded. " So, tell me about this girl, how does she looks like? She must be an amazing computer nerd since she could wreck the security system," Mokuba asked. " Actually no, she looks nothing like a computer nerd. She's about my age; maybe a few years younger than I am, she has black long hair, emerald eyes and a well-build feature. She wore a clothing like a normal people, no more like sportive person would," Seto described her. " Okay, not our everyday computer geek. I would like to see this girl," Mokuba made a remark. Seto smiled to his brother but he stared outside. ' So do I…'
Seto headed home when it was almost midnight. He had to finish a proposal that will be presented to the board member in a few days. He was very tired especially with the mysterious girl, mysterious codes that had happened these past few days. Seto was already asleep when the car reached the mansion. Smith, the driver woke him up and he headed straight to bed. Seto was changing into his pajamas with his eyes literally closed. He dragged himself to the bed and threw himself on the bed. Within seconds, he was already in Dreamland.
Mokuba was in his bedroom. He was asleep but he was awoken by the car's engine. He looked at the clock. It was 2.00 in the morning. ' Brother is very busy lately. He must be up to something big. Probably he's busy looking for that girl.' Mokuba decided he didn't want to care so he closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
There was a shadow lurking around the bushes at Kaiba's mansion lawn. The shadow moved very quietly. The lurking person spotted Kaiba's bedroom. ' Just what I came for.' The intruder climbed up using the pipe next to the bedroom window. The intruder moved quietly but very agile. After a few minutes, without even breaking a sweat, the intruder reached the window. The window wasn't closed, probably to let the cold night air in.
The intruder could see Seto Kaiba sleeping like a baby. The person jumped inside the room but without making any noise. The intruder seemed very professional in breaking an entrance and moved like a cat. The intruder approached the bed and stood at the bedside.
