"That feels…amazing Miya."
"Thank you. And um Seto what did you do?"
"Heh. I gave Wheeler some payback."
"Payback? For? Wait you were jealous when I kissed him!"Seto's POV
"Oh my god. You were jealous." she giggled and kept rubbing your shoulders. If she kept it up, she would end up putting you back to sleep. You then heard your laptop beep. You had new messages from Kaiba Corp. You stared at the message.
"Mr. Kaiba, it seems to me that you have 4 working prototypes for duel disk design DD127."
You looked at her weirdly, you hadn't designed this. But whoever did, did an amazing job.
"I sent my blueprints that I worked on while in camp at Lex's to the prototype managers. Apparently they loved the design. I wasn't expecting working models this soon. You wanna see them?" Miya said from behind you. Her hands stopped for a moment as she looked them over.
"Sure."
She typed a few things on your laptop and sat it back down in front of you.
"This is a 3-D model. The disks are made out of lightweight titanium with a clear plastic coating over them. They are practically indestructible."
"Aren't they kinda of plain?"
She smirked and typed a few more things. Apparently she thought you were underestimating her abilities.
"Since I know not everyone wants a duel disk that looks like everyone else's, each duel disk comes with a design DVD and computer hook up cables. Each duelists can choose their own design, and once they finalize it, it is unavailable to others."
You leaned back in your chair. You really had underestimated her. None of your techs had come up with something like this. Then again, they had always been male.
"I'll go in a test them out when we get out of school tomorrow."
"Oh speaking of. This is one that Mokuba and I designed for you this morning."
'This morning?"
"Yep. We're sneaky."
A white duel disk with blue metal outlining popped up on the screen. The white had what looked to be lightning in it. The deck chamber had a Blue Eyes wrapped around it with a KC in the center.
"wow."
"You like it?"
"Yes. This is amazing."
"Good. This is the one you'll be testing out tomorrow."
"What would you put on yours?"
She pulled the laptop toward her and pulled up another file. Hers was a black plastic and white metal. On each card place was Egyptian hieroglyphics. On the deck chamber as well as a Blue Eyes.
"What do the hieroglyphics say?"
"Well in the first slot is my parents names. The second is my brother Ryan. 3rd is Aaron. The other two are you and Mokuba."
She changed the black background to appear to have light blue lighting and the writing was white. She finished it off with the KC logo on her deck holder.
"there it's perfect."
Your POV
You saved your finished design and looked down at Seto's hands. You had forgotten they were still multicolored.
"Um Seto, you might want to wash your hands."
He laughed and got up and walked into the bathroom.
Seto's POV
As you were washing the dye off your hands, you couldn't help but wonder.
Had you really been that jealous that wheeler had kissed Miya? Would it have been less nerve wracking if she hadn't just been kidnapped?
You dried off your hands and heard a knock on the door.
"Power's back on Seto. We all just got blinded."
You walked out and Miya, Tea and Yugi were standing in your office.
'I think we're going to head home Kaiba. Thanks for letting us stay here though."
"It's not problem."
"Um, I think we're just going to let Tristan and Joey sleep. I'm not going to be the one who wakes them up."
"Sounds good to me."
Miya turned to tea.
"Hey Tea, can you take Mokuba and Aaron to Kaiba Manor? We need to stay here and check out the power and security and all that fun stuff."
"Sure thing. I'll just need help getting them into my car."
After you had gotten your brother and Mokuba into the backseat of Tea's car, you went back to Seto's office. He was already on the phone with Kaiba Corp checking things out there. You checked power flow and double checked security. You went downstairs to check on the systems there. You saw the blankets neatly folded at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hm. I guess they did wake them up after all."
FF 3 hours.
You plopped down on the hide-a-bed that you had yet to fold back up. You beyond the definition of worn out and exhausted. You sighed and flopped back.
"Tired?"
"Beyond that point by far."
"Then go to sleep. I can finish up here."
You got comfy and right before you fell asleep your phone started ringing.
"You've got to be joking me."
You got up and didn't recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"Miya? Is that you?"
You froze. You hadn't heard that voice in close to 3 years.
"Ryan?" you said almost dropping your phone. "How did you?"
"Never mind that right now. We've got a bigger problem on our hands. Your friend Tanya or whatever was involved with a 6 car pile up."
"Tea?!"
"Yeah Tea. And the Domino hospital called me. Aaron's been hurt."
"Oh my god. I'll be right there."
"I'll meet you there."
You hung up and flew up off the bed. You ran into Seto's office.
"Seto, has the hospital called you?"
"Why would the hospital call me?"
"Tea was in a 6 car pile up."
Seto jumped up from his seat and grabbed his trench coat. You both ran downstairs and into your car. The limo would take to long. Seto drove because you could barely see straight.
When you arrived at the hospital, before Seto could even park you jumped out of the car and ran into the Emergency Entrance.
"Are you Ms. Suro?"
"Yes. How's my brother!"
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but he sustained a great number of injuries. His severity of head trauma is not determined. We won't be able to tell you that until he's out of his coma. He's being kept in the child ICU."
The world froze around you. The only thing you could hear was the sound of your own breathing. Your body went numb and your knees gave out. Aaron was your whole life.
Before you hit the floor, a pair of arms caught you.
"Easy Miya. You need to sit down."
The arms picked you up and carried you over to a chair and sat you down.
"Ryan?" you asked trying to choke back tears.
"Yeah, it's me sis."
You broke out in tears as you wrapped your arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He hugged you back and didn't let go until you did.
"How did you know about Aaron?"
"They called me. I guess my name is in the system or something, But at first I had no idea what they were talking about, but then they said that I needed to contact you. I couldn't believe you guys were here in Domino, right under my nose. And thanks to Pegasus' computer system, I hacked your schools and got your number."
"You work for Pegasus still?"
"Yeah, I'm his new assistant since his last one just up and disappeared."
You smiled slightly knowing that you had been posed as his assistant while working for Lex, and Ryan had been much closer than you thought.
"Miya?" you heard Seto say from the door.
"Over here Seto!"
He walked over to you worried out his mind. At first he glared at Ryan.
"Seto, this is my brother Ryan. The one I told you about. Ryan this is.."
"Seto Kaiba."
"Yes."
"We've met before."
You stared at Ryan.
"You have?"
"Yes. At the meeting the other day."
"Oh my god. You were right there…and stupid me. Damn it."
"What are you talking about Miya?"
"That assistant, Maria Conwell?"
"What about her?"
"That was me Ryan."
"What?"
"You remember Lex? Well I was working for him to take down I.I, but luckily Seto and Chris got to me before I could finish it."
"Wow." Ryan said sitting in a chair next to you.
"So have they said anything."
"Only that Aaron's got head trauma and in a coma in the Children's ICU."
"Oh my god."
You leaned forward and hide your face in your hands. Seto sat next to you and wrapped his arms around you, letting you hide your face in his shoulder.
Ryan's POV
When you saw Seto Kaiba approaching you, you stiffened. At the meeting he was meanest jerk you had ever been asked to work with. Now, that he was sitting here, comforting your sister, you saw a completely different side of him. You guessed that the business was strictly business and the jerk side of him was not displayed toward Miya in the slightest.
You sat there staring at her. Since you had seen her, she had changed a great deal. Her hair was much longer, and she looked more and more like your mother. All together, she was the spitting image of Mom, but there was something different. She was much stronger, and had a history of pain and sadness in her deep blue eyes.
"Miya and Ryan Suro?"
