Yami woke up to a gentle shaking. He opened his eyes and saw it was Rachel who woke him up.
"Thank God you're easy to wake up." she said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
"What happened?" He took his writs watch and saw it was 5:30 in the morning,
"Rachel, for God's sake, it's 5 in the morning!" He whispered angrily. She smiled sheepishly.
"I know. I want to show you something. Jean is asleep and I didn't want to wake her up."
"So you woke me up instead." He stated sarcastically.
"You were the logical choice." She said. "Come on. It has to do something with your new discovery." Yami turned all in ears. He followed her threw the mansion and into the living room. She turned on the TV and there he saw the news. His face turned pail when he saw the face of the one man he hated from the bottom of his heart. The face of Seto Kaiba.
"After two months of hiding the truth, the state prison finally declares that the former CEO of Kaiba Corporation has escaped. He is in hiding for two months now, and he is nowhere to be found. We asked his younger brother, Mokuba Kaiba, the new CEO of the said corporation what he thinks about his brothers escape."
Mokuba's face appeared on the screen.
"Seto is very clever. If he doesn't want to be found, we will never find him. My private detectives are working on this. For the sake of my niece and sister-in-law I am obliged to find him and take care he doesn't hurt anyone again. I want to ask anyone who has seen him anywhere, to call and say what they know. We need all the help we can get. No more comment."
Again the reporter took the microphone.
"We must ad that Mr. Seto Kaiba divorced from his wife six years ago when former Mrs. Tea Gardner-Kaiba sued him for harassing and inflicting physical damage. Said Mrs. Tea Gardner has a daughter and is the second owner of Kaiba Corporation. Considering Mr. Kaiba, it is well known he vowed revenge to his former wife and her daughter. We don't know for sure but we have information he is somewhere in Egypt in search for something called The Eye of Horus. According to the local legend it is a very powerful weapon that could give unlimited power to the one who comes to it first. They say the doors that lead to the Chamber of Horus open once in every 5 000 years. As we said it is but a legend, but for someone like Seto Kaiba it could mean a lot. We are asking again, anyone who knows anything about the fugitive, send the information to the FBI New York. For CNN, Jamie Connor."
Yami turned of the TV.
"Son of a bitch." He whispered. 'So he and Tea divorced six ears ago. Anne grew up with no father. And Tea...' Pain shot threw his heart. 'She suffered for all those years.'
"Yami?" Rachel asked silently. He woke up from his daydreaming. In his eyes she saw sorrow and pain. He tried to smile to her.
"I'm all right." Suddenly his expression changed. "If it's true what they said and Seto wants revenge to Tea and Annie, he will do anything necessary to pull it threw. He is a power-searching maniac so if he heard of the Eye of Horus he will try to find it. And if it is the same thing we are looking for, then... we have a problem." He sighed tiredly and walked to the sofa. He sat down and hid his face in his hands. Rachel watched him and her heart felt heavy. This man was like a father to her. When her father died Yami took her and her family in. Her mother and her two twin brothers (20 years old) who were 16 then ,didn't know what to do, when they met Yami. He saved her from two men who tried to rape her. He took her and her family in and from that day they live in this manor taking care of it when Yami's not there. He is very protective over her, just like a real father. One time she even called him daddy, just for the fun of it, and managed to make him laugh for real for the first time since they met him. She walked to him and hugged him close.
"Hey, don't worry. You know we're here if you need us. You are like a father to me. Jack and Jeremy respect you and love you just like I do." He looked at her smiling gently. She and Jean were everything in his life. He didn't know what he would do without them.
"I know, thatk you." He said. "We should hurry up and do the best we can to find out everything we can about this discovery. If it is the same thing that Seto is looking for, we have to make sure we find it first."
"You can count on us." Said Rachel. Yami nodded.
"I'm going to wake Jean up. Can you go and please wake up the others?" Rachel nodded her head and made her way to the bedrooms. Yami took of to his bedroom and found Jean sound asleep on his bed. Last night she fall asleep in his arms while they were talking so he just placed her in his bed and fell asleep on the sofa. He sat on the bed and called for her silently.
"Jean? Jean wake up." She stirred in her sleep and stretched out her hands.
"Scot..." A silent whisper came from her lips.
"Not even close." She opened her eyes and saw Yami leaning over her with a big smirk on his face. She laughed and smacked his shoulder.
"I had such a beautiful dream."
"I don't want to know. I don't care what you and Scot do in your spare time, but I don't appreciate being called anyhow else but with my name." He said jokingly. "Now get up." She pouted and crossed her hands over her chest.
"I don't wanna." She said and turned her head away from him.
"You don't wanna, eh?" he said with a mocking voice. She knew he had something in mind but reacted to late. Suddenly she was all rolled up in laughter when Yami started to tickle her.
"Yami...stop...please...I..can't..breath..." She yelled between the laughs. Yami's laughter filled her ears and she grabbed him and turned his over so she was the one tickling him. He started to laugh and soon the two of them were rolling on the bed trying to prevent the other one from tickling the other. When they stopped Jean lied on Yami's chest and smiled to him.
"This is the longest you have laughed in a very long time, Yami."
"Considering the news I received this morning I can't believe I even had the strength to do so." He said his face becoming grim again.
"What happened?" Jean sat up. Yami shook his head.
"I will tell you when the others come. I want everyone to be there. All I will say now is we are running short on time." He said and got up. Jean knew better then start asking questions and made her way to her room to change and meet everyone in the front lobby. Joey and Tristen were yawning, Isis, Odion, Marrick and Rayou sat in the corner, Yugi and Tea were on the sofa and Duke just walked in rubbing his eyes. Behind him followed Rachel and her two twin brothers, Jack and Jeremy. Yami took his seat on a comfortable looking chair and Jean sat on the love seat not to fare from him.
"What happened?" Asked Tea.
"Rachel woke us up saying you needed to talk to us." Said Yugi. Yami nodded his head.
"Rachel woke me up this morning to watch the news and I saw something that disturbed me." He said.
"What happened?" Asked Tea.
"It seams Seto escaped prison two months ago." Yami waited for a moment to see the reactions and he really hoped it will be a little less... you know...
"THAT LITTLE, SLIMY SON OF A...»
"JOSEPH WHEELER, WATCH YOUR TOUNG!" Tea yelled. You could see the concern in her eyes. She looked at Yami.
"What did they say?" She asked. Tristen tried to hold Joey down as he wantched around himself looking for something he could brake.
"They think he is somewhere in Egypt looking for the Eye of Horus. And...what bothers me the most is... it seams it is the same thing we are looking for."
"They know what he's looking for?" Asked Yugi.
"Yes. I don't know how, but they said it on the news. I fear that if he's looking for the same thing we are, we will have a lot more trouble finding it. What I don't quite understand is how the hell did he find out about it?"
"Can you be sure?" Asked Joey.
"Yeah. How do you know for sure that, that moron is looking for the same thing we are?" Asked Duke.
"Because we all know he's as a power-searching maniac, and, now, we all know he wants to have revenge on Tea and Annie. That's why I wanted to ask you, Tea, do you have someone whom you trust the most to keep Annie safe while you help us solve this... problem?" Tea was silent for a moment as she thought about different possibilities.
"I can call Mokuba. He could take care, that she is kept safe. Seto would never suspect I would send her away from me." Yami nodded his head.
"You're right. The first thought of a parent is to keep the child as close to him as he can. Only that way is the parent capable to protect the child. That is a good idea. Try to contact Mokuba today. I'll have someone bring Annie to Domino when you arrange everything." Tea nodded.
"We should all get to work. We are running short on time and we have to hurry. If what we know for know is true we don't have much time to find the first clue." Said Jean.
"The girl's right. We have to hurry. Tristen and I will try and hack the NASA program this afternoon. We can't guarantee anything but we'll try." Said Joey. Yami nodded.
"I'll finish few calls and arrange a little visit to the City of prophets tomorrow. We will have to look very hard and I want to send Annie on a safe place before we start anything dangerous." Yami said.
"Thank you for your concern." Tea said. Yami just nodded, his face stoic as ever.
"I will go and try to determine the current status of the planets according to the last nights readings. It's shouldn't be too hard. Will you help me, Tea?" Asked Jean. Tea nodded her head.
"I'll call Mokuba on his private line. We'll be able to send Annie to him today. I don't want to endanger her further still."
"Well, yaw all will do something interesting while I'll try to find someone who is powerful enough to support Kaiba in this. If he is trying to do something foul he will need someone to finance all this." Said Duke.
"I agree. He doesn't have any access to the Kaiba finances since he isn't the owner of it anymore." Said Yugi.
"We should all get to work. Tomorrow we will take a little visit to the City of Prophets and we'll try to find the first clue. I think it will be a little easier alter that."
"Will you show me the tablets with the old scripts? I would like to take a look before we start decrypting them." Asked Yugi and Yami nodded.
"Rachel will take you to the laboratory. I'll go and arrange Annie's transportation." Yami said and stood up.
"John, Jeremy. The two of you will go with us tomorrow. I don't know what's expecting us there tomorrow but the two of you are experts in surviving in the deserts, so it will come in handy to have you with us. If you don't have anything else in mind, that is?" Said Yami.
"Are you joking? " Jeremy yelled.
"We thought," John started.
"You'd never ask!" And Jeremy finished. Everyone stared at them in wonder but soon shook it of and made their way to do what they do best...

"Did you see the news?" Asked a voice from the shadows. A man in a large chair laughed shortly.
"Yes I did. They are all such fools. Of coarse they won't find me. What do they think of me?" The man said. His voice was filled with arrogance and pride.
"What do you want us to do?" Asked the man in the darkness
"I want you to find out where is the first clue to find The Chamber of Dancing Shadows." Said the figure in that chair.
"Is that all?" There was silence for a moment.
"Yes... That would be all for now. Just... don't take too long."
"As you wish...

Hey everyone!!
I'm sorry it took so long. I know this chapter isn't very interesting but the next one will be much better. We're coming to the interesting part now. So don't worry. I'll try and make it more interesting and very much longer the next time. I'm a little short with time so I write when I manage to breath. Again I'm asking for two reviews at least. Nothing more, nothing less. Again I thank all the people who reviewed. I love yaw all.
Always yours,
Izida
