Three warriors of ancient monsters will rampage the earth,
Of light, dark, and element.
Look to the Heavens,
They will come from there…"
Chapter 10 – Blackmail
Erica biked to the instrument academy on Jennie's bike and saw her two friends get out of the building, both holding the violin cases.
"So, did you guys get in?" Erica asked, watching Jackie stack the cases behind her, tying them securely.
Jennie snorted and grumbled, "No! The stupid instructors kicked us out for being better than them!"
Erica grinned and Jackie muttered in disappointment, "And we thought that the Domino City band would be better than the regional bands back at home."
Erica laughed and said in a know-it-all-voice, "That's why I came! I just saw, or rather, heard the Domino City band play."
Jennie and Jackie perked up.
"And do the people in the audience seriously consider that as music? God, it sounded like ducks quacking while they were being killed by passing trucks."
Jennie and Jackie immediately brightened up and laughed.
"Come on! Let's go to Kaiba Land!" Erica hooted.
Jackie lifted his eyebrow. "I thought you hated that place 'cause it was made by Kaiba."
Erica waved this away and argued, "Yeah, but that was then. Kaiba Land is like Six Flags!"
Jennie then threw a fist into the air and shouted, "Then I'm in!"
"Okay, we're officially and definitely lost." Jackie commented as the three wandered through Kaiba Land.
Erica snapped, "I told you you should've asked for directions!"
"Well, it's not my fault you got the map upside down!"
"Shut up!"
Jennie rolled her eyes and grabbed a random person out from the crowd. "Do you know the way to the roller coasters?"
The person pointed ahead and then backed away when he saw Jackie and Erica start to choke each other. It wasn't pretty. Jennie groaned and dragged the two to the coasters. They would forget their argument there.
Jennie was right. As the coaster tossed and turned, going extremely fast, it suddenly slowed and went to a stop…when it was just about to come down from the upside down spin.
"Oh crap. Is it just me or is this stuck?" Erica asked.
"It's stuck." Jennie and Jackie glumly said. Behind someone said that the blood was going to her head. Soon enough, people were beginning to panic.
"Oh, look. There's Kaiba." Erica pointed out. "HI, KAIBA!"
Instantly people started to scream and beg to be let down.
Aggravated, Jennie bellowed, "SHUT UP!"
Everyone grew silent.
Erica poked Jackie, who was next to her. "Can you hack into the system to make us go down?"
Jackie nodded and took out a small keyboard from his jacket. Tapping his glasses, a mini computer clicked on in his lenses. Gradually, Jackie began to work. As for Jennie, she was looking at the crowd on the ground floor, watching with amusement at the screaming and pointing people. Erica was staring at Kaiba argue heatedly about what was wrong with the roller coaster.
In a few minutes of waiting and some people crying, Jackie whispered, "I'm in."
Jennie and Erica got ready for a bumpy ride. Within seconds, the coaster moved in its regular speed. People cheered with relief and happiness. Eventually the passengers got down and eagerly got off the cursed car. When Erica got off, happy as usual, she saw Seto run toward them, or rather, her.
"The coaster had a small glitch, but it's dealt with now. I suppose the ride wasn't a problem?" Seto said.
Jackie snorted and Jennie rolled her eyes. Sarcastically, Erica answered, "Hmm, oh I don't know. Having people scream behind you, suspended upside down in the air, and waiting for Jackie to hack into your system…yeah! That's pretty much it."
Kaiba glanced at Jackie, who waved. "He hacked into my system?"
Erica laughed and winked, "don't worry. He's one in a million people who can hack into any computer and trust me; I should know."
After waving and running back to her friends, Jennie said suspiciously, "You flirted with him, didn't you?"
Erica had her usual innocent look and asked, "I was?"
Jackie shook his head and sipped his smoothie, watching Jennie and Erica bicker. It was amusing, really.
Later, Jennie decided to watch people duel on T.V. while Jackie and Erica set off secretly to buy Jennie's birthday present. Going into a nearby shop, the two teens fooled around with Yugi Moto and Kaiba puppets, making them kiss or try to kill each other with plastic duel discs. Soon enough, they made each other shriek with laughter until the store keeper kicked them out. Going onto the next store, they found an Egyptian necklace with Jennie name inscribed onto it. Carefully hiding it into the depths of Jackie's pocket, they set out to find Jennie.
They found her in the same place, only that she was punching some guy in shady glasses while there were other men unconscious around her. In the corner was a small boy with black, long hair and eyes the same as Seto's. Obviously, this was Mokuba.
Jennie got up and lectured, "Now that's for taking a CEO's brother for hostage!"
Erica shook her head and Jackie went over to the kid.
"Eh…want to come home with us so you won't get attacked by those thugs again?" he asked.
Mokuba nodded eagerly and held Jackie's hand as he handed him over to Erica. She had better maternal skills than either him or Jennie.
Erica sighed and whispered, "Jeez…we attract so much trouble."
At Tien-Xiang's mansion (who was still at work, whatever it was), Erica occupied Mokuba with chess and stories while Jackie watched Jennie argue heatedly with Seto's secretary to talk with him.
"Put that damn man on the line already!" Jennie yelled.
The woman on the phone seemed to have objected since Jennie screamed again, "Fine! I guess you don't want to inform Kaiba that we-"
She glanced at Jackie. He mouthed out, 'kidnapped.'
"…That you don't want to inform Kaiba that we kidnapped his little brother!"
With a loud click and some shouts, Seto took the phone, who seemed to have grabbed the phone out of the secretary's hands. Jackie put the conversation on speakerphone and Erica turned the volume up on the stereos (Jackie connected the stereo to the phone) so they could listen to the conversation.
"WHERE IS MY BROTHER?" Kaiba yelled.
Mokuba smiled at Erica (who, of course, smirked back).
Jennie replied with easiness, "Oh? You mean Mokuba? Don't worry. We got him all tied up and blindfolded."
Everyone stifled their laughter as Kaiba snapped, "Give me my brother back. NOW!"
"I can't simply hand him over the phone, can I?"
"Alright. What do you want and who are you?"
"Nothing, and no one. Just come and pick your brother up."
"You really think I'll fall for that pathetic trick?"
"No catches, Kaiba-boy! Just come over and simply get Mokuba!"
"You must have a reason to have my brother!"
The trio rolled their eyes and Jennie said smugly, "You're just making it harder for yourself. Just come. Alone, of course. AND NO TRICKS!"
"Fine. I will be there in five minutes. Besides, I can deal with you alone."
"Oh really?" Jennie took a glance at Erica. "I wouldn't be so sure of that…"
Erica lifted an eyebrow and looked at Jackie. He just shrugged.
"Just give me the damn address." Kaiba growled.
In exactly five minutes, the four heard a car wheel in front of the house. Jennie quickly gave the signal and everyone went to their places. Erica was at the front door and wondered how they got into this mess. When the doorbell rang, Mokuba yelled out "Big brother!" with perfection. The knock on the door grew more urgent. Just thinking in what Kaiba's expression would be, made the girl laugh.
Quickly, Erica opened the door and smiled. "Hey, Seto! We're expecting you!"
Indeed Seto grew shocked, confused, then angry, which was what everyone had suspected. But Seto was blushing as well. That was different.
"Uh…Hello, Erica. Is my brother her or am I in the wrong house?" Kaiba asked, taking a look at a piece of paper. Erica pushed Kaiba into the house and into the kitchen.
"He's in there, Seto." Erica assured.
With an even greater shock, Seto saw Mokuba eating cookies with Jennie (who was snickering) and Jackie, who was typing on his laptop. Soon Erica joined in with Jennie and talked with Mokuba.
"What! I heard a scream and the phone call and…Jennie! YOU PLANNED THIS!" Seto shouted.
Jennie shrugged and observed her cookie. There was deadly silence after that. Jackie sensed the tension while Erica and Mokuba remained oblivious.
"Er…maybe you should go home now, Mokuba." Jackie commented.
Erica nodded at Jackie's glance (which shouted, "Rabid Seto.") and kindly called to Mokuba, "Come on, Moki! Your brother is very busy. You can come another time if you like."
Mokuba smiled at his nickname and held Erica's hand while she pushed Kaiba out of the room. Instantly the tension faded and everything was fine again.
As the three left the room, Jennie whispered to Jackie, "Don't ya think Kaiba likes Erica?"
Jackie snorted and replied, "Of course! Why didn't he attack you then when Erica was present?"
"Thank you for saving my brother…at the amusement park." Kaiba said, watching Mokuba climb into the car.
Erica waved this away and said modestly, "It was Jennie who did the work. Jackie and I were only the bystanders."
"Oh."
There was awkward silence.
"Is Jackie and you…in…in a relationship?" Kaiba asked quietly.
Erica laughed and shook her head. "A lot of people think that, but Jackie and I are very good friends. That's all."
Seto blew out air and Erica looked at Kaiba strangely.
"Why are you asking, though? The Seto I know wouldn't ask that question."
Seto turned away, but his ears burned red. Before Erica could ask if he was blushing, Mokuba sort of saved Seto by yelling out, "Why don't you just kiss her if it takes you so long to get into the car!"
"Mokuba!" Seto hissed with embarrassment, but Erica laughed and went back into the mansion.
"Goodnight, Seto." the girl whispered. Then she closed the door.
"Goodnight to you, too." Kaiba replied in a soft voice. He sighed contently.
Suddenly Jennie and Jackie chorused, heads out the second floor window, "How come you didn't kiss her, Kaiba!"
"SHUT UP!" Seto yelled, chucking rocks from the driveway.
The teens went back inside the house, shrieking with laughter. It wasn't over yet, unfortunately.
When Seto got into the car, Mokuba pouted, "Yeah! Why didn't you kiss her? Then later you guys could've been married and Erica would be with us all the time!"
"MOKUBA!"
(A/N: Ah…Mokuba was really immature for his age, wasn't he? Sorry. I should've portrayed him as an older kid, but now that I think about it…that'd be no fun, wouldn't it? Also for Seto. He should be colder, meaner, more arrogant, rude :continues to babble bad things about Seto: Ah…ahem.
Let me clear something up before I say thanks to all you wonderful reviewers. I don't hate Kaiba. He's just fun to mess with and poke fun at. If you figured out by now, the reason why this fanfic is so funny is because of the positions I put poor Seto under. And Bakura. And Erica. And Jennie. And Jackie. Er…basically everyone.Anyway, thanks again to my beautiful reviewers carolsi13 love your favorites list. You have good taste, Atem's Queen of The Nile flamethrowers rock my socks, DarkHand27 it's not that different from the original story to answer your question, and Hi …yeah. Hi to you, too.
Well, I actually updated quickly since it was such a short chapter compared to the others. Please review and tell your friends about this story. Hope they like it, too. For now, later days!)
