Chapter Four: Going In

By WookieeBeta


The chopper was quiet; Kaiba and Mokuba were relaxed, simply enjoying the freedom of flight, and Otogi, Honda, and Anzu were all asleep. Shizuka was staring absently out the window.

Kaiba tossed a glance back in her direction, and a small frown crossed his face. Poor girl. But he had to admit, she was holding up extremely well. The first thing she'd seen after her operation was her brother being pulled into the depths of Domino Harbor by a large anchor; then she'd been thrown into the virtual world, left on her own, and no sooner had she found Otogi and Honda than was Honda defeated in a duel, and as a result tossed out of his own body. Now she was riding in a helicopter copiloted by a ten-year-old, wondering where her big brother was...if he was even alive. Yes, she was holding up extremely well.

"Seto," she said suddenly in a strangled voice.

The CEO jumped; only Mokuba ever called him that. "Yes? What is it?"

She pointed out the window, down at the shockingly white snowfall. "I think that's Jou and Yuugi down there!"

"It is," Mokuba said tersely after a quick glance.

Kaiba shook his head. "We can't stop. If we do, the Big Five will catch up, and then we're all done for."

"But Seto - !"

"No buts, Mokuba," Kaiba snapped. "We - we can't. It's out of the question." His voice was ragged, edged with something Mokuba couldn't quite identify. He shot a glance at his older brother.

"Well, that's just too bad then, because we're going in!" he decided. He knocked Seto's hands away from the console and spun the chopper around, heading back to the almost-invisible duelists.

"Yaaaaaaah!"

"What? What's going on?"

"Kaiba, where are we going!"

"Mokuba!"

The black-haired kid tossed an unsure grin at the furious brunette. "Sorry, Seto...but I can't just leave them there! We've got to try!"

Kaiba's glare intensified for a moment, but then he sighed. "Fine. I'll take her in; you and Otogi get them inside, and then we're taking back off. Got it?"

"You bet!"

The glittering snowbanks loomed closer.


A/N 1: Not much to say here… Snow is evil. Kaiba has issues. Mokuba has Kiddie Eyes, and The Little-Brother Power. I think that about covers it.
