Dangerousgirl: I LIVE! Hey everybody I'm so so so so so so sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time, but I have a good excuse! I was in Mexico for 2 and a half months and I couldn't update, but I will try to keep updating my stories, even though I will probably die from college when I go back but hey…bring it on!
By the way I just wanted to answer a certain person who asked me this question, of whether or not Yami is just dreaming this or if it is people keeping up with the act. And the answer is that no Yami is not dreaming, it really is happening, and he really is the CEO of his own company, and he is a spy, he is living the life as if he was born, had parents, went to school, yada yada yada, that sort of thing, the only people who know that he had his memories erased are the top top top people.
Seto: Yea Yea, who cares? I just want to get on with this story and see if Yami really will try and kill me.
Dangerousgirl: Seto, rude as usual I see
Seto: Please, I would be nicer if you haven't taken months to finally update.
Dangerousgirl: (sweatdrop) On with the fic!

Chapter 4 Confrontation
"Well Atem, now that you have the details of this operation, why don't you go ahead and start preparing?" the old man, known as Shizo, asked.
"I'll do just that." Atem replied, he got up swiftly and stretched languidly, dropping his arms to reach for the thick folder on the table.
He stepped out of the office and started for the elevators, "Hey, Atem" a woman called out.
Atem stopped and turned to see Doctor Kilai walking towards him, "Dr. Kilai" he replied politely.
She shook her head, "Why don't you ever call me Eileen?"
Atem grinned and said "Because I know it annoys you."
She laughed, then asked "Is that your new assignment?" she pointed to the thick folder in Atem's hand. Atem looked down quickly and said "Yeah, I just got done getting the details from Shizo."
"Can I see?" Dr. Kilai asked.
"Sure" Atem answered, he handed the thick folder to her, and clasped his hands behind his back.
Dr. Kilai's eyes widened slightly at the picture of Seto Kaiba, "What was that look for?" Atem asked, his sharp eyes never missing anything.
"Nothing, just that I recognize him from all the magazines about his corporation." Dr. Kilai responded quickly, "He's handsome isn't he?"
"I guess" came Atem's curt reply
Dr. Kilai shook her head, "That's just like you Atem, you don't think anything about the person."
Atem laughed and said "Not true, I think about the person whom I'm going to steal from."
"When?" Dr. Kilai asked "Other than the times you have permission to terminate them, and then you use your signature move and give them the kiss of death before you kill them."
At this Atem fell silent, pondering "You know," he answered slowly "I think you're right, I haven't thought about the person."
"Ha, I'm always right" Dr. Kilai answered "So when do you start?"
"Tonight, at about 11:00 or so" Atem answered
"Why so late?" Dr. Kilai asked, perplexed.
"Well, because one: Security is very light at that time, two: I need to have my partner prepare, and three: I need some sleep" Atem answered
"You haven't been getting enough sleep?" Dr. Kilai asked, concerned.
"Well, it's just that I have really weird dreams that when I get up I'm completely exhausted." Atem answered, "Nothing to be concerned of, now I have to find my partner and inform him of the assignment." He turned and started walking away.
"Wait! Atem!" Dr. Kilai called out "Do you know what your dreams are about?"
Atem answered, without turning around "No, I don't remember anything, when I wake up." He stepped into the elevator and waved goodbye to Dr. Kilai.
Dr. Kilai waved goodbye until the doors closed, then she lowered her arm and thought "This should be interesting."
Few hours later……10:55 PM
Atem rolled around in his bed, sweating beading on his forehead, his eyes closed in confusion, He was up high, in a elegant balcony of some sort, looking down at a sea of people, he absently raised his hand up to adjust a gold headdress of some sort, that covered his forehead, and came up a little to keep his hair in place, however his blond strands were freely moving in the wind. Someone on his left was saying something, shaking their head and pointing to his hair. He turned and said a sharp remark, at this he heard musical laughter at his right, and he turned and saw blue……
Brriiiiiinnnnng! Came the alarm clock, Atem immediately shut it off and rolled out of bed, dressing in skintight black pants, boots that came up to his knees, and a long black sleeve shirt with gloves, he buckled a black belt around his trim waist with various number of pouches. When he was finished, he stepped out of the room, with no recollection of the dream.
He stepped outside of the building where a shiny black ninja bike was waiting for him; he got on the magnificent machine, put on a black helmet with a black visor, and raced away into the night, towards an impressive building.
He rolled to a stop at the building next to Kaiba Corp. he swiftly got off, and opened one of his pouches, he pulled out a very small headset and placed it in his ear, "Testing, one, two, three" He said in his tenor voice "Read you, loud and clear." Came the voice of his partner.
"Jesus, Sai" Atem complained, as he pulled his hair in a tight, low ponytail, "How the hell can you hear me, with a headset this small?"
"Now, now Atem, you know what I always say, it's not the size that counts, it's how it functions" His partners voice, came into his ear, sounding amused.
"Yeah, right" Atem muttered, as he pulled on a mask, that covered his hair, and covered the lower half of his face, so that all you saw were his crimson piercing eyes. "That's not what you said last night. Or should I say screamed?"
"Okay, so maybe size does count." Embarrassment apparent in his partner's voice.
Atem laughed, as he got a gun out with a grappling hook on it, he shot it up towards the roof of the building, he pulled himself up to the roof. On it he looked on with binoculars towards the Kaiba Corp. building, "Alright Sai, give me the coordinates, of the best place to enter."
"Okay, getting coordinates... you should enter the second to top row of windows." Sai answered.
"Nobody there?" Atem asked.
"Positive, the maid just finished cleaning in there, and is not cleaning the top floor." Sai said his eyes, scanning the computer screen, having hacked into the security cameras.
"Alright, let's do this" Atem answered, as he hooked himself to a thick rope that had been placed there for the operation, he dropped off of the building and swung himself up as high as he can to the Kaiba building. Latching onto the glass building with suction cups, he quickly asked "Position?"
Sai's eyes quickly scanned a different screen, he softly whistled "Wow Atem you've been working out, you're at the fourth to the top row of windows."
Atem smiled "Whose fault is that?" He asked teasingly, his only answer was laughter. He quickly started to make his way up to the second row. Reaching there, he placed one of the suction cups on one of the windows and used a laser to cut through the glass, he carefully placed the glass inside, before stepping in he placed a headgear over his eyes, to view the security lasers crisscrossing the entire room. Atem smiled beneath his mask, "This Kaiba guy, isn't as impressive as everyone thinks" he thought amusedly as he quickly jumped over, under, sideways all the lasers. Reaching the door, he took off his headgear, and whispered "Sai, have you fixed the security cameras?"
Sai's voice came to his ear "I fixed the security cameras so all they will see is a rerun. And I will be seeing the real deal, and I can warn you if anybody is coming"
"Good" Atem answered, stepping out into the hallway, he kept himself low and walked quickly down the hallway, having memorized the floor plans of Kaiba Corp. He climbed up a chair and entered the ventilation system. He crawled around for a little while, before climbing up to the top floor of the building. He quietly dropped down and whispered "Anybody here?" "Just the CEO, as we suspected" "Alright, I'm going into the room with the chip." "Hold on, the CEO just stepped out of his office." Atem paused, waiting to hear where the CEO was heading. "Dammit! He just stepped into the room holding the chip." Atem didn't skip a beat "It's fine." He started saying as he headed toward the room, he drew out a long metal twine and wrapped it around his hands a little, "I'll just take care of him."
Sai's eyes widened as he watched the screen "Wait! Atem, he's coming out!"
Atem's eyes widened slightly, as he watched the door handle slowly open, "Shit." He thought. He quickly and quietly jumped up to the ceiling just as the CEO stepped out. He watched as the CEO rubbed the back of his neck with his hand before walking down the hallway and out of sight. Atem slowly let out the breath he was holding before dropping down quietly in a crouch. "That was a close one." Sai's relief was heard in his voice. "Tell me about it." Atem muttered, as he started to work the lock on the door, after he unlocked it, he quickly stepped in closing the door nearly all the way, so as he wasn't locked in.
He looked around quickly, and strode to the safe holding the chip. He listened carefully to the lock as he spun the combination. After hearing the final click, he smiled and pulled open the safe's door, he grabbed the chip, not really taking in Sai's frantic voice of "The CEO IS COMING!"
When he finally analyzed the message, he quickly turned to the door, and saw the CEO standing there with one hand on the door handle, his ice cold blue eyes, quickly taking in the scene.
"Who the hell are you?" he demanded.
Atem's only thought was "Looks like I'm going to have to take care of him after all."
Few Hours Earlier…
Seto stared at the invitations in his hand before calling his brother, "Mokuba!" he called out. "Yes big brother?" Mokuba asked, poking his head into the room quickly grabbing the invitations his brother thrusted toward him.
"Here, could you give this to Yugi and his geek squad of friends?" Seto muttered, not looking at Mokuba, while he pulled on his white trench coat.
Mokuba raised an eyebrow "What are these?"
"They're invitations to a…party I guess you could call it." Seto answered, throwing things into his briefcase.
Mokuba looked surprised and asked "What party?"
"It's an award giving party, to the most successful companies" Seto answered "It could increase Kaiba Corp. stock options."
"And you're inviting Yugi and his friends…because why?" Mokuba asked, confused.
"Well, seeing as how I have extra tickets, I just thought they could put some real use to them." Seto answered "Besides, seeing as how Yugi is technically the king of games, it might increase my chances of the getting the award if they see that he is there."
Mokuba shook his head, having seen through Seto's act "Big brother, it wasn't your fault. You didn't know your actions, would have driven Yami to kill himself. I know you're just trying to make yourself feel better if you try to makeup with them"
Seto didn't answer, keeping his head turned toward the window.
Mokuba sighed, "Fine, I'll make sure they get the invitations."
Seto sighed in relief "Thank you Mokuba, I'll be at the office, I probably won't come till late."
Mokuba nodded, used to Seto's obsession of working. He turned and walked out of the room.
Seto drove down to Kaiba Corp. getting out of his silver Lamborghini, he headed to the top of the building, he entered his office and started working.
Meanwhile…
"Mokuba?" Yugi asked, holding the door open the black haired youth.
Mokuba stepped in and asked "Could I speak with you?"
"Sure, anything wrong?" Yugi asked, shutting the door behind Mokuba.
"Nothing, it's that Seto asked me to give you and your friends these." Mokuba answered, handing the invitations to Yugi.
"What are these?" Yugi asked, raising an eyebrow at the words he read.
"Invitations to a party" Mokuba answered, then quickly added "Please go, it would mean a lot to Seto."
"I don't know." Yugi answered slowly
"Please," Mokuba pleaded "Seto has felt guilty ever since the day he found out, that's why he doesn't challenge you to a duel anymore, all he has done since that day is work."
Yugi hesitated, then seeing the desperate look in Mokuba's eyes, finally nodded "Alright Mokuba, I'll go and I'll see if my friends will go too, they probably will."
Mokuba smiled broadly "Thank you so much! Seto will be glad!"
Yugi smiled weakly, wondering if he made the right decision or not.
Back at Kaiba Corp.
Seto scanned the latest chip technology that his company produced, on his laptop. Having found that his employees have forgotten to print out an important piece of the chip, grabbing the portfolio containing information about the chip, he headed toward the room that held the chip.
He quickly turned the computer on and printed out the information he needed, after he organized the papers and put them in the portfolio, he thought he heard a voice outside the room. So he opened the door to find no one there, he rubbed the back of his neck, feeling as if someone was watching him. Then deciding that he needed to head back to his office he walked down the hallway and left. It wasn't until he was nearly back in his office, that he realized that he forgot the portfolio. Cursing, he headed back to the room, when he got near it, he realized that the door was open a crack, thinking that he just forgot to close the door all the way, he opened the door to find a figure, standing in the middle of the room. He scanned the room quickly to find that the black clad person was a thief, and had just stolen the chip, judging from the empty safe.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked demandingly.
Atem's only thought was "Looks like I'm going to have to take care of him after all."
Atem slipped the chip into an empty pouch before taking out the metal twine again. The CEO's eyes widened a bit at the metal twine, realizing the danger he was in, he quickly tried to slam the door closed.
Having predicted his reaction, Atem looked down at a stool and quickly kicked it over to the door, wedging it between the door and the door frame. Forgetting the door, the CEO started to run toward his office, with the thief close behind.
Bursting into his office, Seto looked around quickly, his eyes spying the twin fencing swords on his wall, he quickly ran over and slid one of them out, raising it up in defense just as the thief burst in.
Atem raised an eyebrow as he eyed the fencing sword in the CEO's hand, he smirked "Looks like he can defend himself. This should be fun." Slipping the metal twine back into its pouch, he quietly closed the door, making sure it was locked before making a wide circle around the CEO. When he reached the wall that held the other fencing sword, he grabbed the handle and drew it out as well.
Seto's eyes narrowed a bit when the thief, drew out the other sword, and got into a defensive stance as well. "I seriously hope you don't think you can beat me?" He sneered at the crimson eyed one…wait crimson?
Before Seto could interpret the eyes anymore, the thief attacked.
Atem smiled, as he took the CEO by surprise, making him defend himself to his blows.
Seto frowned, as the thief continued to parry him, defending himself blow after blow. Finally, he realized that the thief was playing with him, so he tried to lead him over to his desk, so he could push the panic button underneath his desk. When the thief wasn't taking the bait, he finally tried to lash out in order to take the thief by surprise, not waiting to find out how long he was surprised, he ran over to his desk to push the button.
Atem was startled when the CEO lashed out at him, "So he does have life in him after all? Why is he going to his desk? Is there a weapon?"
Not wanting to wait, he dropped the sword and ran over to where the CEO was hunched over at his desk. Grabbing the CEO's shoulder, he slammed him onto his desk, quickly taking out a knife from inside his boot; he straddled his waist, and brought the knife to his neck.
Seto's eyes widened when he realized the thief had a knife at his neck. He quickly looked up to meet the thief's crimson eyes. "Is this it? Is this my punishment for killing Yami? I may not have literally killed him, but I might as well have done it." Seto closed his eyes, waiting for the thief to slit his throat.
Atem eyed the CEO curiously when he closed his eyes, "Amazing, he's braver than the other ones I've killed. Might as well get this over with, oh wait, my signature move." Atem quickly leaned down to the CEO's lips; he slipped his mask just past his lips to capture the CEO's lips in a kiss. He felt the CEO's surprise at the kiss, and tried to respond to it.
Seto frowned when the thief ended the kiss quickly and sat back up, having already replaced the mask over his lower half of his face. When the thief replaced the knife to his throat that was when Seto realized that the thief was just giving him his last kiss, before he killed him. "The kiss of death" Seto thought ruefully before closing his eyes again.
Atem looked down at the CEO coolly before bringing the knife to his opposite shoulder amd swinging it down toward the CEO's neck.
