The perfect team

Chapter 8: Who's the enemy?

"Fine!" Kaiba finally said. "I'm joining in--but make your wife behave, Yugi."

At this everybody's laughter rang loudly throughout the room. Even Yugi cracked a wide smile. "I'll try my very best!" he managed through his attempts to stifle his laughter.

"Okay. Now that that's covered…" Mai giggled. "I'll go make a list of those who got their ass kicked by us." There was a moment of silence before she continued, frowning lightly: "I suppose though, I don't have to put Kaiba on the list, right?"

This earned her a death glare from said man and another round of laughter from everyone else. Joey got up quickly, claiming he would go help her. This made Tristan chuckle, and he said he would go with them as their chaperone and just smiled at Joey's angry look. Yugi's(they are working for Yugi, aren't they?) Egyptian guests excused themselves too--they would go to work, gathering any information on this new enemy they could find, taking Serenity and Duke with them. This left Kaiba, Yugi, Tea and the gang from Duel Academy alone in the same room with nothing more to say.

"I think we should go now." Tea stated matter-of-factly, loosening her grip on her weapon. Seto sighed almost inaudibly in relief.

"You're right. We should, however, decide where to install our headquarters…" Yugi agreed as he stood.

"How about the game shop?" Jaden asked, since he couldn't see why they would need any other place.

"That's why you're still at school and we're already professionals!" Kaiba snapped, but shut his mouth after he got a side glare from Tea.

"It's too easy to guess. We need someplace where no one would even think of looking--without traveling over half the planet…" she explained to them.

"We could go to my island." That was Pegasus' suggestion.

Oh yes, he was still there too, forgotten by everyone, because he had stayed silent for so long.

"Your Duelist Kingdom?" Yugi questioned. Pegasus only nodded. He knew what came next. "But that is still pretty…"

"Obvious. Yes, but think of it: It's so obvious nobody would look for us there. Besides, it would be the perfect battlefield with every kind of environment available, many places to hide, and not to mention we know every inch of it!"

The room fell silent for a few minutes. It was a thoughtful silence as everyone's minds worked on the idea. Sighing, Tea finally made the decision for them, brushing past Seto through the door.

"It's decided then." Pegasus chuckled. "I'll go prepare my private jet."

"Oh no!" Kaiba snarled. "We're going to take mine. I, at least, am still in control of my company. It would only alert our enemies, if…"

"Calm down everyone!" Jaden spoke up again, beating Yugi to it. "However Mr. Pegasus, Mr. Kaiba is right. It will be much safer if we used his airplane, Sir."

Pegasus chuckled.

"My, my, what a fine young man. So diplomatic. He reminds me of you when you were his age, Yugi."

(Not anything major, but it is different to see Jaden acting like that. He is usually very clueless and goofy. But I do like seeing different sides of characters, and this IS AU after all.)

(Scene Change)

"So, you tell me they're plotting in there?" the man asked in a deep, dangerous voice.

"Yes, master!" Blair responded, lowering her head as to show her respect.

"Then why didn't you attack them yet?"

"We were waiting for your orders, master."

"My orders?" he laughed. "Kill them all, don't take any prisoners; my orders are as simple as that! Don't leave anyone alive." He laughed even more, his light hair flying around his head as his body shook maniacally.

"Yes, master." Then she turned around to the other men. "You heard the master. Attack now and SLAY THEM ALL!!!"

(Scene Change)

"What was that?"

"What was what, Hassleberry?"

"That sound, Bastion. Didn't you hear it? It was like…people…approaching…"

"No."

"But I'm sure-"

He was cut off when Tea's alarmed shout reached their ears:

"PREPARE FOR BATTLE!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Alexis yelled back.

"We're under attack." That was Jaden's smooth voice coming from her right side. "That's the only thing I can think off. They must've found us."

"Then-"

"Get down!" Jaden ordered and pushed her down on the floor, landing on top of her to protect her. Gunshots could be heard throughout the hall. They were making an incredible amount of noise; it was almost too much for Alexis to bear. Smoke bombs followed soon after.

"What now?" she asked, even though she knew Jaden couldn't hear her. However, he seemed to be able to read it from her lips, because he told her with a few hand signs, what he expected of her:

'Get Hassleberry and Bastion and go hide somewhere. NOW.'

Alexis nodded. As he was about to get up, she quickly pulled him back down to meet his lips with hers in a chaste kiss of 'good luck'.

"Now I really do feel lucky…" the Slifer Red student mouthed, then disappeared into the smoke. His first opponent wasn't even worth mentioning, since he never even saw his attacker. He had his back turned to Jaden as the Slifer stabbed him with one of his daggers. The next two did put up some sort of a fight, trying to get him out of his cover and shoot him. Jaden made one quick jump, throwing two of his knives in their direction. The first one hit full center and the man died instantly. The second, however, dodged the knife directed at his throat and it stabbed him in the arm instead. The wound only him distracted for the briefest moment, but that was more than enough for one as skilled as Jaden Yuki. He ran to the man, took the gun and executed the man with his own weapon.

"Nice work!" Yugi congratulated him, showing up behind Jaden. In each hand the King of Games held a sword with a very thin and lightly curved blade. Jaden guessed its original colours were bronze, but he couldn't really tell as every inch of it was covered in blood.

"Thanks!" Jaden answered, smiling sheepishly. He was about to say something more when a figure appeared in front of them. It was a man with dark brown eyes and unruly, white hair that didn't agree with his age...

"Bakura!" Yugi spat. The man only laughed…

A/N: End of chapter. Sorry it took me so long. I was a little busy with school in the last few weeks. I hope you can forgive me. Gomen nasai. (bows deeply).
