Chapter 6

The policemen were armed and ready, they stood in front of Duke's door. Rob pounded hard on the door. "This is the police, open the door!" he yelled. There was no response. Rob looked over at Grim. He nodded, another police man kicked down the door. Rob and Jeff ran in with their guns in front of them as they quickly walked through the house. Jeff stopped, "I found him." Jeff said as he lowered his gun. Rob went in and looked down, he saw Duke covered in blood. Dead. "Shit!" Rob said as he slammed his fist against the door. "Looks like we have another murderer" Jeff said.

"Damnit! We were so close!" Bill yelled, slamming his fist again. "Apparently not close enough" Grim said as he walked over and observed the body. "One shot to the head definitely killed him."

"What's that suppose to mean! It could be anyone!" Rob yelled, getting even more frustrated with himself. "He was shot from behind, just like Yugi."

"So we might have a connection between Yugi's murder and Duke's?" Jeff asked. "I have a hunch we do. Get back up over here to take this body back to head quaters. I want a warrant on Duke's house immediately" Grim said as he stood up. The other police men hurried out as they put "do not enter" tape around the area of the house. Grim looked over and saw a gun on the counter. He put on his gloves and picked it up.

"Do you think that might've been who ever had killed Duke's gun?"

"I don't think so. I have a feeling whoever is doing this is the one that has been committing all these murders, and it doing a great job at covering it up. Not even an idiot would leave his gun at the crime scene. Send this back to the lab, we have work to do" Grim said as he placed the gun in a bag and handed it to another officer and took out his investigation kit.

-Grim-

"Alright people, let's go over the suspects and witnesses." Grim said, putting Duke's picture on the board and thumb tacking it there. "So Tea, Joey, Yugi, Serenity, Tristan, AND Duke go to the movies together."

"Joey gets Yugi high."

"And Duke leaves the group, and hides in a tree in the park."

"Then Yugi sees Kaiba and Mokuba, gets mad, goes and confronts them."

"Yugi talks some crap, and Kaiba walks out."

"Yugi using Mokuba to make him come back. He tells Kaiba he wants his gun."

"For the safety of his brother, Kaiba gives him the gun."

"Yugi puts it to his head, but gets shot before he does anything to himself."

"Mokuba suffers trauma and can't speak."

"Tea gets murdered in her own house by Duke."

"Serenity is the next victim of Duke."

" Bruder sisters get attacked, and Mokuba gets kidnapped."

"Then we find Duke dead in his own house." There was silence amongst the detectives. "So what suspects do we have left? Kaiba and Joey?"

"Seems to be. Tristan was killed shortly before Serenity was killed. Most likely by Duke." Grim said. "So this guy was trying to kill off all the witnesses. But one thing I don't get is why he went so out of his way to cover his ass. And why did he shoot Duke in the first place? For heaven sake, they were all his friends. What in the hell was his motive?"

"Well, we think someone put him up to it, of course. I don't see why Duke would just go off and start on a killing spree randomly. He had his own company and a name. He wouldn't wanna ruin that reason, so why take that risk and kill all your friends?"

"Grim! I got some prints from that gun that we found at Duke's house." Bill said, running into the room. Grim turned to face him. "And?"

"Well, the prints are Duke's and Kaiba's."

"Kaiba?"

"Yes."

"How could that be… were there any signs of a struggle?"

"Yes, there must have been a struggle. We also found a strand of hair on Duke's body… also Kaiba's." Grim put his hand through his hair. "Well, this is enough to put Kaiba on trail" Rob said with a smirk. Bill looked back over at Grim. "Grim, what's wrong?"

"Something isn't right. I have this strong feeling that Kaiba isn't guilty." Rob rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. We'll have the court decide that" Rob said, and with that, left the room.

-Trail 445, Seto Kaiba vs. People-

"Seto Kaiba, do you swear to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" the man asked as he put Seto's hand upon the (book?). "I do" Seto said, his face emotionless. "You may proceed to the questioning chair." The judge said. Seto slowly walked over to sit in the chair, looking over at the jury. Their faces staring blankly at him. They said that if he was proven guilty, he would suffer the death penalty. He saw a couple of people that he had known from the past including Pegasus. He raised an eyebrow in wonder of why Pegasus had become a juror, but he guessed that the old man had to do something. Pegasus smiled, and waved to him in his homosexual way. Seto just rolled his eyes and sat down in the chair.

"Seto Kaiba, is it true that you witness the death of Yugi Motou, on the night of October 13th?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that you handed a man, or might I say, a young boy, whom you knew was under the influence of some sort of drug, and was not, at that moment, in his right state of mind?"

"Yes, I did. Yugi said he was going to hurt my brother, and judging by the way he was acting, I knew he would be crazy enough to do it."

"So you gave Yugi the gun, to protect your brother."

"Yes. And when that has been a crime, you can arrest me for it." The lawyer smirked. "Mr. Kaiba, was Yugi armed at all? Did he have any weapons that could've turned out to be a danger to your brother?"

"No, but there are other ways to harm another human being without the use of weapons."

"Yes, but there is also a difference between harming and killing." There was silence in the courtroom. "Mr. Kaiba, you knew that Yugi was dangerous enough to kill himself. You got the idea before hand that he's mind was set on suicide when you were talking to him before he took your brother. Why would you hand over the gun to him when you knew he would kill himself?"

Seto glared. "My brother means the world to me, I would NEVER let anything to him, so help me God. I took a vow to always protect my younger brother, and that's what I did."

"Oh really? And that's why he's gone missing?"

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU BASTARDS TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME!" Seto screamed, standing up. Pegasus gave a small chuckle, oh, how he loved seeing Kaiba suffer. It was almost too good. "I see…" the lawyer said, taking a step back from the chair. "If you guys had put him under CIA protection before putting him with MY girlfriend and her sister, maybe this wouldn't have happened!"

"Calm down, Mr. Kaiba, and sit down" the judge said, smacking the desk with his hammer(thingy? . ). Seto slowly sat down. "Now, Mr. Kaiba, I see your special bond between your younger brother because of the fact that your parents have died. But it doesn't mean you can just go and have Yugi commit suicide just because Yugi threatened to give your brother a punch or two. There would be no way he could've killed your brother, or even done anything horrible to him. Even if he did, you could've just jumped right in to save him."

Seto sat there, still tense from his break out, but his usual stern face. "If your telling me that giving Yugi my gun to protect my brother because he would've killed himself was wrong, then you know what? You can say that. I don't care how little his damage would've been to my brother, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't have cared if Yugi was dead anyway. My brother is the only family I have left, and I cannot, and will not let ANYONE hurt him."

"Those are powerful words for a man who has his life on the line. It says here that the police have not found your brother and reported him dead. So why say these things when he's not even alive?"

"Because there is no reason for me to live now that my brother is gone." There was talking and whispering among the audience in the courtroom. Seto stood up. "Yeah, you heard me. I don't give a if I die. And you know what else? I don't care of any of those jackasses say I'm guilty! Cause I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't out anyone up to killing anyone!" Seto said, pointing toward the jury. "Yes, I handed over my gun to Yugi, yes, I could care less if he had killed himself, and yes, I could really care less that all of Yugi's friends are dead right now. But I'll tell ya this much, I swear upon my beating, living heart, upon my very soul inside of me, that I DID NOT KILL YUGI. I didn't kill Yugi, I didn't kill his friends, I didn't kill anyone. And if you guys wanna put me in the electric chair for that? Than go straight ahead , cause it's YOUR conscious, not mine. I'm not afraid of death."

Seto sat down. The whole courtroom was silent. So utterly silent. "No further questions." The lawyer said, turning away from Seto.

-3 hours later-

"Alright, the jury has come back with their decision." One of the members of the jury stood up. "We find the defendant, Seto Kaiba, guilty."

Ok, so here is the 6th chapter. Note, this is not the end of the chapter, I'm just leaving you guys in suspense. I have the next chapter all written up for ya, so it won't take a bajillion years for me to update this story for you. I'm just gonna wait for the reviews cause I'm mean:p Also, I tried not including my OC s as much because I know we all hate OC s. I admit, I hate stories with OC s too, but come on people, all the girls in Yu-Gi-Oh suck, and aren't good pairings for Seto, so we all have to make up pairings for him cause everyone else sucks. But now that I found Kisara(which is probably the best female character in Yu-Gi-Oh now), I won't have to use my OC s for Seto pairings(also note that I needed the OC s for my plot so I wasn't trying to toture you guys, I needed them for my story. Not for the romance part, just for the many, many killing part.). Oh, and also, ya'll gave me a lot of flames, not that I'm saying you ppl are bad, and you guys are probably right about my spelling because I'm too lazy to check it, but otherwise; guys, I don't make you read my stories. I know my stories suck and they're all pieces of shit that we all want to BURN and die in hell… but if you don't like my story, then don't read it. No one's forcing you, I'm not forcing you, Seto is not forcing you, Isono is probably forcing you, but that's beside the point! But the point is… oh wow, I wrote a lot. The point must be that I like to write a lot. Wow, that sounded really stupid right there0.oU Hahahaha, watch you guys totally flame me after this:p but anywayz… here's the chapter, hope you liked it. The next chapter is the last chapter, and I'm real confident you guys will love it, and it's practically OC-less

So ya'll review so I can post it up! And try not to flame me… as muchXP
