Chapter 13 - Unscheduled Appointments

Valencia paces the room angrily. "How did that little brat survive?! I knew I should've just shot her!" Yami sat in his little insanity corner giggling for what had already been half an hour. Valencia growled, "Will you shut up, you lunatic?!"

Yami laughed, "We're all mad here! Aha ha ha ha ha!" The brunette rolled her eyes at the deranged male and left him be. He wasn't going to get anywhere since he was in chains. Right now, she was more focused on the fact that Isabelle was still alive after the accident the week before. She glanced out the window to see a black car pull up. She watched as the Seto Kaiba and his brat brother climb out of the vehicle. Valencia cocked her head to the side.

"I don't recall making any appointments tonight. How did they find this place?" she wondered aloud, thankful that her prisoner had finally shut up for the moment. The glass prevented her from hearing too much of the conversation, but she was fairly certain Yami's name was mentioned somewhere and she smiled.

"Is he your new lover, Yami?" she laughed, causing him to look up in pure confusion. Obviously, he wasn't expecting Seto to show up here of all places.

"Lover? I haven't-" He stopped himself short. He had made out with Seto once before. But that didn't mean much... did it?

"So, he is?" she tried again. Yami shook his head. "He's a friend of mine. That's all." he sighed.

"Well, then, he's certainly something to come all this way just for you, love." Valencia chuckled softly. *And this will be where Isabelle dies.* she predicted. She screwed up last time. This time, she wasn't going to get away from her.

Yami started giggling yet again for some unknown reason. "You still insist on calling me that?" he giggled. "Either you're a stalker, an ex who can't get a grip, or perhaps a little of both." Valencia was annoyed about this constant shift in Yami's personality. She's met almost all of the personalities, so she can somewhat figure out when Yami was Riley or Aedrian was Phoenix-

She shook her head. That was one train of thought that would confuse her for days on end had she kept on that path. She watched as the trio outside walked through the front door. She would wait for them here.

When the brunette turned to face her ex-boyfriend, she had a knife thrown at her head. "That's twice this week that someone's thrown something at me." she says, seeing that Yami's arms were free.

Yami staggered to his feet, the chains heavily clattering to the floor. Valencia widened her eyes in terror as Yami pulled out another knife from his sleeve. "What..." she started, slowly making her way to the door to her right, her hazel eyes darting over every two seconds. Taking a step forward, Yami began laughing, "I don't think so, miss Suarez."

She stared at him, trying to figure out who he supoosedly was this time. A new persona she hadn't met yet? "Nope." Yami chuckled, seeming to follow her train of thought. "You know my name, but my personality was a lie to you. You see, I've got quite the silver tongue." Then it dawned on her.

"Riley." she gasps, dodging another knife in the nick of time as Riley smiled like the Cheshire Cat.


Seto walked in without too much difficulty. No one was expecting them. There were no obvious traps in the room. The place looked positively spotless, provided it was pretty clean for an abandoned house. The Kaiba brothers followed Isabelle into what seemed to be some sort of throne room.

"Explains why everything looks so gray." Mokuba said casually. There was a room to the back where shouts and screams were coming from. Mokuba took a step back when they heard a particularly shrill noise, most likely a woman's screech of pain. Isabelle pulled out a gun from the jacket she was wearing. Seto heard her take off the safety and asked, "Where did you get that?"

"After my last run-in with Valencia, I decided it's not a good idea to go anywhere unarmed." the blonde said calmly. She walked over to the steel door behind the throne, gesturing to them that it was okay to approach.

They heard screams coming from the back room. As the trio opened the door, a well-built 6-foot man's body dripping with blood was hurled against the wall with a sickening thud. They walked inside to see Valencia staggering to her feet, her head bleeding, while Yami was sitting on the floor with a smile on his face. Seto opened the door further to see Valencia holding a knife, the left side of her head and her shoulder cut open and bleeding freely.

"You bastard!" she spat. Yami (Riley) was standing against the wall with predetory grin, knife in hand. The crimson-eyed male glanced his way for only a moment before turning his attention back to the threat in the room. "How dare you?!"

Riley was giggling madly. "You call me mad? Have you actually looked at yourself as of late?" Seto was at a complete loss. Why were they chatting like two old friends? He was startled when Isabelle pushed her way past him and took a shot at Valencia. She fell with a scream, rearing her head towards the child.

"You!" Valencia hissed venomously. "I should have known you'd come back!" She pulled out her own gun. "This time, you're not getting away from me!"

Isabelle rolled to her right, narrowly dodging the bullet, and taking a shot of her own. Valencia released another bullet that grazed the blonde's left cheek. Isabelle rushed forward, watching the brunette as she revealed her hidden knife and stabbed her in the side of her arm. With a shrill scream, Valencia knocked her to the floor, her gun pointed at her. She pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. She had run out of bullets.

"Damn it!" she swore under her breath, casting it aside and drawing her own short blade.

As both girls clashed, Seto and Mokuba quickly came to Riley's aide, attempting to seal as many wounds as they could. "Damn it, Yami. How did you get involved in this?"

"Tha name's Riley. Yami's sleeping." Riley whispered loud enough for Seto to hear. Isabelle took another cut to her face, more like a flesh wound, that stung like Hell. Valencia shook her head and sighed, "You know, I always thought that we-"

"Save it, whore. No one wants to listen to that silver tongue of yours."

All stared at Riley. "How dare you!" Valencia shouted. She took her empty gun and threw it at him. Turns out she was a poor shot because it missed him by a couple of feet. It landed to his left just out of Riley's reach. "I think you need to work on your aim, love." Riley laughed, beginning to feel lightheaded. He stood to his feet and walked towards her.

"Stay back!" she barked, her knife pointed at him instead. Isabelle took a step back, not wanting to get involved with this one. Valencia took a swing at him which Riley blocked easily, took her by both of her arms, and practically shoved her into the wall. "If you ever come near any of us again, I will kill you personally, do I make myself clear?" She shot him an icy glare and promptly cut his arm.

Isabelle swiftly disarmed the brunette, causing Riley to quickly take a couple of steps back, his left arm bleeding. Crimson connected with hazel. "Valencia..." Riley murmured. Valencia smiled, sadly in Riley's eyes, "Don't think this is over, Sennen. Not by a long shot." With that, she took off through the door, not waiting to have yet another knife thrown at her tonight.

Isabelle watched Riley sit back down near Seto, swaying slightly. He closed his ruby eyes and slipped into unconsiousness. The brunette caught him before he hit the floor, noticing how relaxed Riley was compared to what happened a moment ago. Seto shook his head and picked him up bridal style.

He walks to the door and stops. "Mokuba, come on. We have to get going." The raven-haired child hesitated for a moment. "Come on, or I'm leaving you both behind." Seto warned. Mokuba smiled and took Isabelle by the hand, leading her out of the gray room.

As they walked to the car, Riley stirred in Seto's arms. "Riley?" he mumbled quietly. "Se... to?" the male moaned, shifting ever so slightly to get comfortable. Isabelle looked up as Mokuba slid into the back seat. "Yami? We're going home." she laughed. Riley (Yami) sighed, appearing like he didn't give anything worth a damn right now. "Thank Ra..." he mumbled under his breath.

Seto smirked at the attitude and placed Yami in the passenger seat. Satisfied, he walked over to the driver's side and climbed in, starting up the car and heading back to the mansion. Everyone's had enough for one night.

Next Chapter: Return to Sanity

"Are you sure you should be up?" Oh, it's Seto. "You've been through enough today. You need your rest." I look back towards the cloudless sky. "It's beautiful out here, though." I felt his arms wrap around me and asks, "Have I ever told you how stunning you look in the moonlight?" I laugh gently, stealing a sweet kiss from my lover. "You have now."
