Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Nor do I own Batman. I just noticed that Kaiba is a lot like Bruce Wayne, and decided to run with this story. So sue me (on second thought please don't)!

Author's Notes: I've met my quota of reviews for the 2nd chapter so I'm gonna go ahead and post this... it's not a very long chapter but it'll do for now. Also, I would like to thank tinkletimekelly and A Perplexing Puzzle for leaving me very encouraging comments and for their story alerts. They made me smile.

Now it's story time!

Well, it was another wild night in east Domino," Vivian Wong announced on her nightly newscast. "Police intercepted an arms shipment which Attorney Ryou Bakura is trying to connect to reputed mob kingpin Rupert Dartz."

"Nice tie, boss," a thin man with protruding eyes commented as a photo of Dartz flashed on the screen behind the newswoman.

"Shut up." Dartz raised a hand to silence his flunkies. The crime boss sat deep in a plush sofa in the center of his lavish penthouse living room, his two-toned eyes intent on the widescreen TV. He was a thin man with sharp facial features, while expensive tailored garments clung loosely to his frame. Standing and sitting around him were half a dozen of his employees.

"Unfortunately, 'Radiant Ryou' earned a new nickname tonight - 'Raving Ryou' - when he flew into a rage and attacked one of the suspects." The TV showed footage of Ryou Bakura's encounter with the mud-slinging thug as Vivian's Wong's commentary continued.

"Get 'im off!" Valon cried from the screen. "He's crazy"

A strikingly attractive young woman with long blond hair leaned forward over the back of the sofa and smiled at the image of the berserk DA. "My!" she said with a toss of her hair. "This guy is crazy!"

"Yeah, crazy like a fox," Dartz sneered. He grabbed the remote in his bony hand and turned down the volume. "That little temper tantrum has probably bought him another ten thousand voters."

"So, how about we see how far he can swim in a cement bathing suit?" one of the other flunkies suggested.

Dartz snorted. "And bring the heat down on us even more?" He heaved himself up out of the sofa and moved closer to the television, staring at the silent image of a beleaguered Ryou Bakura. "Uh-uh. I want this one in my back pocket, boys and girls. We need to dig up some dirt on our dashing DA. Something really juicy."

"I'm afraid that might be a problem." The light-haired woman fiddled with a strand of rose colored pearls. "Bakura's so clean, he squeaks."

"All men have something to hide, my dear Mai," Dartz corrected her in a gentle voice. "You know what they say: the brighter the picture, the darker the negative." He glared at the screen as an embarrassed Ryou stalked off camera into the shadows. "Just stay on his tail and keep your eyes and ears open. You might be surprised what you'll turn up."

Author's Note: I hope you guys leave me more amazing comments because I love reading them and I will try my best to message back a thank you (unless they're to many... probably won't happen but... I can hope) and will thank you in the beginning by name at the beginning of each chapter. Does anyone actually read these thing?
