Aoi: Hey guys! Well here's the new chapter, now with 25% more Ryo Bakura! Isn't that right, Ryo?

Ryo: My mommy says I'm a good boy!

Aoi: Ha-ha, well, your mom never appears in the series. So I think she dead.

Ryo:...Wanker

Aoi: Fruitcake

"PK when will you be done? I would like to have my office back soon," Seto said in an annoyed tone.

"We need to make sure that we got everything," PK explained. PK's team was sweeping Kaiba's office for prints, hoping to find out who went through his office.

"Well could you hurry it up? I have a lot of work to do and I don't enjoy having a bunch of people around." Seto said. PK sighed.

"Fine, I'll just go interrogate Mallory," she said walking towards the door.

"Pardon?" Seto said, confused. "Did you just say 'interrogate Mallory'? As in the Mallory that was hired to kill me?" Seto asked.

"Yes, she mentioned that she was part of some organization. We think it might be Ward Sharier," PK explained. Kaiba stood up from his desk.

"Do you mind if I listen in on the interrogation?" he asked. PK nodded.

"Of course sir. Right this way."

Bakura walked hurriedly through the streets. He looked down at his watch. He was supposed to meet Yugi and his friends at the game shop fifteen minutes ago!

"I hope they don't mind me being late," He thought to himself. He then remembered something; there was an alleyway that lead straight to Yugi's house! Bakura ran quickly, he turned a corner into the alleyway. Suddenly, a girl came out from the shadows, blocking his way.

"Excuse me!" He said. The girl didn't move. He slowed down to a stop, "Do you mind? I'm kind of late meeting a friend." Bakura studied the girl. She had long black hair pinned up into two short pigtails; Bakura could see that she had dyed the tips of her hair a bright fuchsia pink. The girl blew a big bubble that popped quickly.

"You're late, huh?" she asked, her voice amused. "Well that's too bad," Bakura then noticed a duel disk on her arm, "Because I want to duel you! And I won't take no for an answer!" Bakura noticed a strange mark on the girl's hand. His eyes widened in surprise,

"Your part of Ward Sharier aren't you?" He asked. The girl looked at her hand.

"Did this give it away?" She lifted up her hand to show a small Egyptian lotus printed on her hand in dark brown ink, "Well, no matter. You would have figured it out soon enough!" She placed her deck into her duel disk. "My name is Neko! And I'm going to beat you, Ryo Bakura!"

PK circled slowly, like a vulture looking over its next meal. Mallory looked back at her with intense eyes. It was a very impressive staring match. PK slammed her hands down on the metal table.

"Tell us who you work for! Or I'll have to get violent," PK said menacingly. Mallory smirked.

"Wouldn't you like to know," she said darkly. PK shined a light into Mallory's eyes; she winced as the bright light hit her face.

"I'm going to ask you one more time. Who. Do. You. Work for?" PK yelled. Mallory smiled,

"Fine then, I'll tell you." Mallory said crossing her arms over her chest. "I work for B.O.B."

"You work for Bob?" PK said in a confused voice.

"No! Bring. Onisama. Back!" Mallory explained. PK looked at her.

"I don't follow….at all."

"We may be small, but soon enough, we will bring Prussia back!" PK still stared at Mallory, judging her sanity. Suddenly, she heard a sound through her earpiece.

"PK, may I speak with you?" Kaiba said. PK got up and walked out of the room. Kaiba was waiting for her inside a small viewing room.

"I don't think this is relevant to our interest in Ward Sharier," her said annoyed. PK nodded.

"I agree with you sir," She pressed a button on the side of the wall, "Mallory, we are going to let you go now," PK explained, "But you must stay in Japanese airspace for the time being, understand?" Mallory nodded from inside the room. PK pulled her hand off of the button.

"Why do we need to keep her in Japan?" Seto asked.

"Might I remind you that she was hired to kill you? I want to keep my eye on her for a while and see what she does." PK explained. She did have a point.

"But how do we know if she leaves the country?" Seto asked, curious. PK grinned.

"Oh don't worry, I have entrusted Mallory with a handler," Kaiba's eyebrow lifted in confusion.

"Handler?" he questioned.

"Get the hell away from me you verrücktes weibchen!" Mallory yelled from outside the room. PK grinned.

"Speaking of the devil," she said, walking towards the door. She opened it to find Mallory, pushing away a desperate Natalie.

"But Malo-chan! I'm your handler now! By Japanese law I have to watch you!" Mallory's eye grew wide with fear.

"W-what?" she then turned to look at PK, "You!" she yelled, pointing accusingly at PK, "You did this, didn't you?" PK was quiet. Mallory's face became red with anger, "I swear to god I'm going to-"

"PK, I'm ashamed," Kaiba said suddenly. Everyone stopped to look at Kaiba, who was standing with his arms crossed, "You could of at least given her a handler who could actually DO something if it was needed."

"I assure you, Mr. Kaiba, Natalie can be very dangerous when duty calls. Right Natalie?" PK said, looking over at the apron wearing cabbage seller.

"Cookies!" she said happily, appearing not to have heard what PK had said.

"Then again…." PK said, having second thoughts. Mallory finally managed to push Natalie off of her. She ran over to Kaiba, sliding on the floor like a baseball player to slow her to a stop. She grabbed one of Kaiba's boots.

"Please! Please, I'll do anything!" she wailed loudly, clutching Kaiba's boot like a life preserver. "I'll do anything to get away from…from…from that!" She released one of her arms to point to Natalie, who was still sitting on the floor in a daze. "Please Meister Kaiba! Please!"

Seto looked at the woman groveling on the floor. This seemed very unlike her. Granted, he had not known her that long, but she didn't seem like the type to beg for help. And then there was PK. Out of all the people in Domino she could have set up to watch her she chose Natalie. Was there something about this girl that Seto didn't see? She just seemed to be a normal cabbage seller with a small IQ. But then again….

Kaiba looked at the Germanic woman, sill clinging to his boot. He sighed.

"I suppose if I gave you a job, we wouldn't need to give you a handler," Mallory looked up at him like a small child, "From now on, you Kaiba Corp.'s office door opener."

"Um, Mr. Kaiba?" PK said, "May I see you for a second?" She motioned toward a small corner to the side of the room. Kaiba quickly followed, "I'm sorry sir, but I've already set up the contract with Japanese authorities, saying that Natalie is Mallory's handler. Also, we have automatic doors," Kaiba looked at PK with an annoyed look.

"Then break the contract, buy Natalie a cat, and hope that Mallory doesn't mind standing around for three hours at a time."

"Why do we need to get Natalie a-" PK started to say.

"Mr. Kaiba! You have to look at this. We just found something on the security tapes!" Isono said, running into the room. "We found out who broke into your office!" he explained quickly.

"What?" Kaiba said, "Show me," Isono walked quickly, Kaiba behind him. They soon reached the viewing room, were Mizori and Akina were waiting for them.

"Look here," Isono said, pointing at one of the monitors. It showed a small figure walking though Kaiba's office in the dead of night. The figure rummaged through his desk, appearing to be looking for something.

"Do we have any idea who this person is?" Kaiba asked.

"We're working on it, sir. But with this lighting, it's very difficult to tell," Mizori explained. Akina looked closer at the screen.

"I know who that is!" She yelled loudly, "That's Neko! Mr. Urushibara's secretary! God, she's annoying."

"Are you certain?" Kaiba asked.

"Positive. She's the only person, thank god, that wears pigtails. And she's a major gum chewer." Kaiba stormed out of the room, "Where are you going?" Akina asked.

"To tell Eiko!" he explained as he walked out the door.

Eiko, Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi, Honda, Mai, and Otagi stood in the game shop. Patiently waiting for Bakura to show up.

"So…." Jonouchi said to the group. "Is Bakura ever going to show up?" he asked, leaning against the counter.

"It's not like the guy to be late," Otagi said looking down at the floor.

"You don't think something happened to him, do you?" Anzu asked, worried.

"Nah," Jonouchi said, "What trouble could a guy like Bakura get into anyway?"

"Actually guys…." Eiko said hesitantly, "That's kind of why I wanted to talk to you." Eiko had organized the meeting, saying that it was extremely important that they come, "Over the weekend, I went to America with Seto," Jonouchi opened his mouth to speak, but Eiko stopped him, "No, we did not go there to get married!" she said, giving him a look.

"That's not what I was going to ask," Jonouchi complained.

"Anyway… while we were there, we got some information on Ward Sharier. It turns out that Eddy and Jacob were working for them."

"No way!" Jonouchi said his mouth wide open, much like everyone else in the shop.

"Are you sure?" Mai asked, stepping forward.

"Positive. That's what Sophie told us," Eiko explained.

"Sophie?" Honda questioned, "That weird girl from a year ago? The one that dressed up as a cheerleader?"

"Yeah, what was up with that?" Jonouchi asked looking at Eiko, "I swear something's not right with that girl."

"Just because she dressed up a cheerleader doesn't mean that there is something wrong with her!" Eiko yelled in a protective tone.

"Okay, okay, sorry…." Jonouchi said putting up his hands defensively. Yugi looked up at Eiko.

"So what happened in America? And how did Sophie know about Ward Sharier?" he asked.

"She….she claims that she started the organization," Eiko explained. Everyone looked at her, confused and intrigued by what she was saying, "And the thing is, I kind of believe her. I mean, she knew about the two attacks we got a few days before. And no one but us knew about those…so I don't really know if-" Suddenly the bell connected to the shop door rang. Everyone turned to see Seto standing in the doorway of the game shop. "Seto?" Eiko said, confused as to why he would be here.

"Neh, what do you want?" Jonouchi asked walking up towards him, "You want to fight eh? Well I'll-" Seto walked passed him, completely ignoring him. "Hey wait, I was-"

"Eiko, we found out who was in my office," Seto said in a serious tone. Meanwhile, across the shop the rest of the gang were talking.

"I keep forgetting that those two are dating," Jonouchi said.

"I sometimes forget too," Anzu admitted, "I mean it's Kaiba. I could never even imagined a girl wanting to date him. Well, you know, before Eiko…" That still confused Anzu. Eiko was nice and sweet and never really seem to care about revenge and what not. And then there was Kaiba, who was cold and did nothing but think up ways to get his revenge. They seemed to be polar opposites. And yet….

Eiko gave Seto a heart and Seto kept Eiko safe. Something that Eiko never really seemed to do. She would let herself get sick or hurt and never did anything about it. When no one would tell her to fix herself up, he did. During the summer months, she had fallen off a ladder trying to grab some boxes. She herself never went to see if everything was all right until Seto heard about it. Eiko turned out to be fine, but for some reason it stuck a cord in Anzu. Here was a guy who had never seemed to care about anyone except himself or his brother. But by some weird twist of fate, he cared about Eiko.

It was so bizarre that it didn't even make sense to Anzu. But there it was, happening right in front of her eyes, even at this moment.

"The girl who when through my office's name is Neko. She works at Kaiba Corp. and that's how she got into my office so easily," He explained to Eiko. She tilted her head slightly to look him in the eyes,

"Ok, but how do we know that she works for Ward Sharier?" Suddenly, the bell to the game shop rang. Once again, everyone turned to see who it was. Bakura stood in the doorway, a girl laying limp in his arms.

"Bakura?" Yugi said, shocked to see him with the girl.

"Guys, help! I don't know what to do!"

A few minutes later, Akina and PK arrived at the scene. Akina looked over the unconscious girl.

"Yup, this is defiantly Neko. I'd recognize those pigtails anywhere," She said finally. Bakura had come into the shop with a knocked out Neko, unsure of what to do, he brought her to the game shop.

"How did this happen again, Bakura?" Anzu asked.

"I told you guys, we dueled and I won. After that, she just collapsed like she was dead. I didn't know what to do so I brought her here." Bakura explained again. Eiko placed her hand in front of Neko's mouth,

"She's breathing, but unresponsive. Just like Nouvelle and Lune were," Eiko explained. She looked over at Bakura, "Bakura, did she happen to mention-"

"Ward Sharier? Yeah, she did," Bakura, said. "That mark on her hand is proof of it." Bakura said, pointing towards her hand. Eiko quickly lifted up Neko's hand to her face. She studied the strange markings.

"It looks like a lotus flower," She commented.

"That must be their sign, like a gang tattoo," PK explained, "They use it to identify people in a group. It's like a security code of a badge."

"Okay, so she was working for Ward Sharier. What does that mean for us?" Honda asked.

"It means," PK said, turning to face the group. "That you all are in more danger than we thought. When I first heard the case, I thought it was much like that of the Rare Hunters. High-Ranked duelist, high-ranked cards. But in Bakura's case, while he is an excellent duelist and was in the Battle City finals, he is not exactly highly ranked nor does he have many rare cards, 'Darkness Necrofear' being the only exception. Also, after doing some more research on Neko, she was not a duelist to any of our knowledge. She didn't even have a registered duel disk."

"PK, your starting to lose me," Eiko admitted, "How does this put us in more danger than before?" She asked, confused.

"It puts you in more danger because it shows that all nine of you are in danger. These people don't care if you're a duelist or not. They just want you gone," Everyone looked at each other. PK was right. They were in more danger then they originally thought.

Aoi: Cliffhanger, because I can! Sorry this took so long to come out. Writers block…. It mocks me… I can't promise that the chapter will be coming out any faster now, with school and such. But I will try my best! And I promise not to make you guys wait more that a month for an update. (I'm cutting it close with this one but…) Yeah, Bakura didn't really get his full 25% increase in this chapter. But he will be showing up more in the story overall. Bakura fangirls may rejoice.

Akina Sachi: Yayyyy!

Aoi: See you guys soon!
