MasakiSora-chan: So here comes chapter 3, hope you enjoy.
Tea: Are we going to find Catherine now?
MasakiSora-chan: Just read and find out.
Joey: Hopefully it doesn't take too much effort. By the way, I'm hungry, can we eat something?
Tea: *sighs* I don't have anything to say.
MasakiSora-chan: *smiles weakly* I do not own Yugioh, only my own characters and the story line.
Return of closed feelings
Chapter 3:
After a very long flight the plane finally landed in Cusco, the capital of the region of the same name.
'So, Kaiba, where to?' Joey asked after everyone was on ground again.
'Wow, that's awesome. Can we stay a little?' Tea said to the dismay of Tristan and Duke.
'We're not here for sightseeing, Tea. We have to find Yugis sister.'
'Which doesn't mean that we can't do both.' Seto stated and everyone looked at him in disbelieve.
'What the hell do you mean?'
'Catherine seems to be in Macchu Picchu, which is also the most visited sight of Peru and an old Inca village. Don't ask me what she is doing there.'
'Maybe she wants to find out more about the Inca history?' Yugi asked not really believing what he just said himself.
'I thought she was in Egypt. Why suddenly going to the Incas?' Tristan said.
'Don't know. Maybe there is a connection.'
'Oh come on, just ask her herself.' Seto cut in and began walking.
'Wait up Kaiba!' Joey called and ran after him.
'Why are you the first to follow me?'
'Because nobody else does.' Joey grinned. Seto rolled his eyes.
Finally the rest of them caught up.
'Are we going to walk? How long is it?' Tea wanted to know, fear displaying in her eyes.
'I called for a car, so don't fret. I didn't felt like walking about 80 kilometres.' Seto explained and Tea sighed relieved.
Soon they found the rent car and were driven to Macchu Picchu while every five seconds Seto was checking his device if Cathrine was changing her location. She wasn't so when they arrived she seemed to be still there.
'Hopefully she didn't cast away her duel disk.' Duke muttered as they all exited the car.
'Don't say something so ridiculous, Duke. She is a duelist and therefore her disk has to be as important as her life to her, I hope.' Joey said to his American friend while the black haired gambler knitted an eyebrow.
'Can we just go on? I didn't want to fly over half the globe for nothing.' Seto told them and finally they got going.
They soon arrived at something that looked like an exhibition and they also saw some tents nearby.
'Why are there tents?' Yugi asked but nobody answered.
They walked closer and found some weird looking men before them. Most of them were wearing worn clothes and carried pads and pencils with them.
'Excuse me, what are you doing here?' Tristan asked the one nearest to him, who wore a dark blue overall and a red shirt and had short black hair.
The man turned around to face the questioner but before he could answer though Seto cut in: 'Can't you guys just ask normal questions? I mean, it is obvious that he is a painter.'
'Yeah, but why would painters come here in person?' Tristan shot back.
'I'm here on Mr. Maximillion Pegasus orders. He said here should be some stones or something we should draw for his newest cards or something like that.' The man finally said and the group stared at him.
'So you are working for Industrial Illusions?' Seto questioned him as he was the first to find his voice again.
'Yes.'
'What new cards are you talking about?' Joey asked him, curiosity displaying in his eyes.
'I'm not sure. If you want more details ask that girl over there. She seems to be the boss here.'
He pointed only a few meters away where another worker of Industrial Illusions was talking to a girl of their age.
She had long blonde hair that was bound into a ponytail, wore long blue jeans and a tight white shirt under a red jacket.
She pointed somewhere behind and then on the piece of paper the man next to her was holding. Obviously she was giving him orders on his work.
After he had left they saw her sighing. Then as she turned away her gaze met Yugis and she froze in place, her blue eyes widening in shock.
'Catherine!' Yugi shouted and ran up to her, the others following him closely.
Only Seto walked a bit behind them and more slowly.
'Yugi? What are you doing here? And how did you find me?'
'Kaiba was able to track you down.' Yugi explained.
Catherine looked up and straight into Seto's icy blue eyes. The young CEO soon looked away. Something of her seemed familiar but he wasn't quite sure what it was. And it wasn't because he had seen the picture of her before.
'So what did you come here for?' She turned back to her brother.
'We wanted to see you. You know I haven't seen you for five years.'
'And while we're at it, could you tell us what those guys of Industrial Illusions is doing here?' Tristan added.
'Yeah, they said something about new cards.' Joey continued.
Catherine sighed. 'You can ask Pegasus himself if you want to know.'
'How come? Is he here?' Bakura asked.
'No, but he is on his way here. And in the meantime you could introduce your friends to me, Yugi.'
Her younger brother nodded and soon after they went to into the tent that was hers.
'This are my friends Joey, Tristan, Duke, Tea, Bakura and also Seto and Mokuba Kaiba.'
Everyone nodded at her, except of Seto of course. He only stared at her while she withstood his glare.
'So, Catherine, what are you doing here? I thought you were in Egypt?'
The girl returned to Yugi. 'I was.'
'Why did you go to South America then?'
'I had gotten what I was searching for and then I found something new, something that had also to do with our family. Therefore I called Pegasus and he agreed to send his men here and when we had recovered what we were looking for, he would come himself.'
'I take it you found it. What is it anyway?' Duke went on.
Before Catherine could answer though the entrance of her tent opened.
'My, if that aren't Yugi-boy and Kaiba-boy! And the rest of the gang. What are you all doing here?'
They all turned around to see the previous named CEO of Industrial Illusions standing before them: Maximillion Pegasus.
'Good evening, Pegasus.' Catherine greeted him.
As an answer he nodded at her. Then he clapped his hands together, smiling wildly: 'What do you say? Show me and your friends what I came here for. I can't wait any longer to see it.'
'To see what?' Bakura wanted to know.
'Just wait and see.' Catherine told him and immediately afterwards they took some cars and drove about half an hour. They stoppped and stepped out.
'Wow.' Tea murmured. In front of them was something that looked like a big cave.
'It's inside.' Catherine told them and took the lead.
'Obviously.' Seto commented silently but nobody said anything. Either no one had heard him or they thought it would be better for their health not to say anything to him.
So they went in and stood in front of a very big stone tablet. A tablet that was about three times bigger than the ones they had seen in Egypt.
'I can't believe it. You really did find it.' Maximillion Pegasus nearly jumped in joy, grinning like he always did.
Yugi and his friends on the other hand just stared at it, not knowing what to think. Even Seto wasn't able to hide his surprise because on some way he knew the monster in front of him, but on the other hand it was totally different.
From the tablet a White Dragon was looking down on them.
MasakiSora-chan: That took quite some time. Didn't know where to end it.
Mokuba: I didn't say anything in this chapter.
MasakiSora-chan: Oh, sorry about that. I'll give you more to say next time, I promise.
Catherine: Why was Seto able to track me down anyway?
Seto: Your duel disk.
Catherine: Right, I totally forgot about that.
MasakiSora-chan: Please be kind and review.
