I sat in my office pondering the night's events. My heart was pounding in excitement but I couldn't rid of the lingering dark feeling of doubt that was overwhelming my thoughts. Yugi had another episode with my butler but luckily this one didn't get too out of hand due to a security guard stepping in at the right time. Of course compensation fees had to be paid to keep mouths quiet.
The little freak show was now sitting beside me with sad droopy eyes. He was curled up resting against the heavy potted orchid plant, head resting on the rim of the pot. It was a gift I received from a company president in China when I decided to accept their proposal for a joint venture to make gaming products.
Jounochi killed for this little guy. It made me wonder, how important was he after all? To me, all of those insane explanations brought me to a single thought: bring back spirit and I'll have all the answers I need. If I 'made' another body, I'd receive a reaction from Jounochi, along with the knowledge of this 'world' he referred to.
"Yugi." I began and his body stayed frozen beside me.
"To bring him back, all we need is a body correct?" I asked and his puffy purple eyes- now red from crying- looked to me. Tears were falling again.
"He's...he's ..gone!" Yugi said hiccupping through the words, clearly upset again.
"Where is he?" I asked in a soft snide tone, becoming annoyed.
"I asked you! When will he come! I asked you!" Yugi screamed before curling up again, falling silent.
Okay... obviously I wouldn't get any real help from the small stature-d burden in my office. I thought for a few moments and remembered the letter handed to me from the second Malik. I opened my drawer and took it out, breaking the seal with complete eagerness.
Only to find a bunch of Egyptian symbols written down the page. I opened my phone and called Jounochi.
"Hello Kaiba." It was Ryou's voice.
"Ryou, I have a letter here that I need deciphered. I believe it will help the guest Jounochi bestowed upon me. It's in Egyptian, do you know anyone who can read that?" I asked.
"Kaiba. I'm sorry. I know Jounochi told you many things today but I believe even though the spirits are very real, I think it's too dangerous to give them a body again. Don't call on behalf of them again." Ryou said harshly before hanging up the phone. That wasn't the reaction I had expected but I'm Seto Kaiba. One little silver-haired boy wont prevent me from getting to the point I need to get to.
I picked up the phone again and dialed.
"Hello? I need some Egyptian deciphered again... Yes I know it's been a long time... I need it as soon as possible... Of course you'll be paid sufficiently... yes. I'm faxing it now." I smirked and hung up. I leaned back in my chair after I sent the fax. Jounochi said he would consider me. All I had to do now was get these annoyances in between away from me.
