Please review after you read, thank you. ~DFP
Yugi and Mokuba were surprised when fifteen minutes later Kaiba and Aquarius walked into the game room. Both seemed completely relaxed and at ease with the other's presence. Kaiba and Aquarius drifted over to the large windows.
"You okay?" Kaiba asked softly his hand gently trailing down her back.
"I miss my brother." She sighed leaning into Kaiba.
"We will get him back." Kaiba murmured holding her close.
"Do you really think so?" Aquarius asked her head resting on his shoulder.
"Yes, I got Mokuba back and you'll get Draconis." Kaiba stated confidently.
"Are they bonding?" Mokuba questioned quietly.
"I think there might be something there, Mokuba! I think that they're slowly admitting their feelings." Yugi chuckled.
"I've got to check something, I'll be right back." Kaiba promised gently slipping out of Aquarius's hold.
Kaiba raced up the stairs to his room and turned on his laptop. Sure enough, he had a new message. It was a direct conference link. He clicked on it and Pegasus's face popped up on to the screen.
"What do you want?" Kaiba demanded.
"It's a tie. She gets her brother back and, well, I'm already gone." Pegasus smirked.
"The special deal you made with Aquarius, what was it?" Kaiba demanded.
"Oh, Kaiba, that's strictly between myself and darling Aquarius. Her brother should be returning now. Ta ta!" Pegasus smiled as his face disappeared off the screen.
"Somehow I don't think this is finished yet." Kaiba muttered shutting the computer off.
Aquarius was standing beside her brother's bed when he woke up. It was like a dream he blinked his eyes open and smiled up at her.
"Hey." She murmured quietly tears glistening in her eyes.
"I thought I wouldn't see you again." Draconis whispered using what little strength, he had to sit up.
"I'd never let you go." Aquarius smiled giving her brother a gentle hug.
"So touching, a family reunion." An older man dressed in a black suit spoke.
"Who are you?" Draconis glared.
"I'm Croquette and I'm here to escort you." Croquette smiled wickedly.
"What are you talking about?" Aquarius questioned as two armed guards came from behind and strapped her in handcuffs.
"Let's not keep Mr. Pegasus waiting." Croquette stated as they quickly left the room with a thrashing and yelling Aquarius.
"You can't take her!" Draconis yelled.
"It's sleepy time." One of the guards murmured as he increased the dosage of Vicoden causing Draconis to sleep.
~4 Hours Later~
"Has anyone seen Aquarius?" Kaiba asked walking into the game room.
"We thought she was with you." Yugi said pausing the video game.
"No, I've been at the office for four hours or so. I figured you three would all hang out." Kaiba stated becoming increasingly worried.
"If she's not with you and she's not with us, where is she?" Mokuba questioned slowly.
"She's probably with her brother." Yugi tried to rationalize as the three sprinted down a hallway.
"That's where we're going!" Kaiba growled as he turned down a hall and threw open a door. Draconis was lying on the bed barely breathing his heartbeat impossibly slow. "Wake up!" Kaiba yelled shaking the man violently.
"Drugged." Draconis slowly mumbled his eyelids heavy.
Kaiba's head snapped to the I.V. in Draconis's wrist. He brutally ripped it out causing the inflicted male to sit up board straight with a strangled yelp.
"Where's Aquarius?" Kaiba questioned harshly.
"I was hopped up on Morphine and over dosed on Vicoden. Stupid guards think they're doctors and who knows where we'd be without doctors." Draconis mumbled to himself clearly in his own world.
"Where's Aquarius!" Kaiba yelled shaking the recovering male roughly.
"Do you know on enough Morphine your hair looks green?" Draconis asked one eye's pupil fully dilated while the other remained normal as he went limp in Kaiba's arms.
"We aren't getting anything out of him until he goes through detox." Mokuba muttered earning a glare from his brother.
"I don't have time to wait!" Kaiba exclaimed.
Little did he know how correct he was.
