Seto's POV

You were surprised that Miya knew you were worried. Was it really the obvious? Sure she had flown the jet just a few days ago, but your worry was more on Mokuba then. Plus, on her way back this time, she'd be alone.

"She'll be fine Seto." said Veronica through the headset.

"I know. Just keep me posted and.."

"Let you know if anything goes wrong. I know, I know."

You walked of the flight deck, following the boys into the living room where you'd play video games with them for a while before heading back to your meeting work.

You had set up the piloting system to send you updates every two hours, then you had Veronica watching them too, yet you were still nervous.

Miya's POV

You set the jet on auto-pilot for the 6-8 hour flight over nothing but open water.

"You excited to be going back home?"

"Yeah, but I'm gonna miss Japan. It's so much different than at home. Plus, it's much for exciting. Much, much hotter men too. That Joey, whew. Not to mention your hunk of man meat."

"Joey huh?"

"Sorry, I have a thing for guys with accents. Besides his is very American, reminds me of home."

"Now don't go getting into any long distance relationships now."

"Yeah I won't. And I'm sure Mom's more excited for me to come home than I am. You should have heard her on the phone the other day."

"Yeah, that's Morgan for you. That's where you got your..odd personality from."

Ali nodded. You knew this was hard on her mom, since Ali hardly ever left home for more and a few days, and that was normally just out of state or something. This time, she'd been gone for 3 weeks, and half way across the globe.

"So how long is this flight?"

"Hm, about 18 hours."

"Really?"

"Nah, it's only 12 in this thing."

"Wow. That knocked off a lot of hours. Nice."

"Yeah, plus I've got some connections that give me access to normally restricted airspace."

"See I knew I had an awesome choice in friends!" Ali said sluggishly.

"Mhm, you just keep telling yourself how great you are Ali. Maybe it'll come true some day."

"Hey!"

"So, does Seto always use this jet?"

"You wouldn't believe the miles on it. He never uses anything but his private company owned transportation. They're all freakishly fast."

"Hm, well you'd better call me. I do not want to spend 18 hours of a plane to fly back to Domino and kick your ass."

"Trust me Ali, I'm sure Seto's already got international calling, so it won't be a problem."

"Either that or get a Skype or something. I know you always have your laptop."

"Hah, yeah. You've got that right."

You heard a small ping come from the jets tracking system, with a sigh you turned your headset back on.

"Miya?"

"Yes Veronica?"

"Could you call him and calm his nerves?"

"He's worried? About what?"

"What do you think?"

"I've been gone maybe 3 hours, how in the world is he worried?"

"I agree. Plus, did you not fly this thing to Vancouver and back?"

"Mhm."

You dug your cell phone and connected it to the jets calling system.

"I'm calling him now Veronica."

You put your headset on your lap and dialed Seto's cell number.

"Kaiba."

"Hey you."

"Is everything okay?"

You could hear the nervousness and the shakiness in his voice.

"Yeah, why? You aren't worried about me are you?"

"Nope. Just wondering why you called?"

"Just letting you know we're okay."

"Alright then. How's Ali taking it?"

"She's enjoying the first class private flight life."

"Yeah Seto! Thanks for the private ride!" Ali shouted from her seat.

"You hear that?"

"How could I not? I'm pretty sure she broke the sound barrier. But yes, tell her she's welcome."

"Will do. I'll talk to you again when we land."

You hung up and turned your phone to silent, shoving it back in your bag.

Ryan's POV

You were starting to adjust well into your new life as a nobody in the middle of the Midwest. The hardest part was getting use to the new name, every so often you'd catch yourself answering to Ryan instead of Jason.

"Jason, darling. Can you come here for a sec?"

You sighed and got up from your desk, putting Miya and Aaron's picture back into the secret drawer.

Your "wife" was sitting on the living room sofa, staring horrified at the television.

"What's wrong Liz?"

Liz turned to stare at you and she turned the volume up. She was watching the international news station.

"Today our station receives hundreds of photos of CEO of Kaiba Corp; Seto Kaiba with his new girlfriend. But that's not the big news! The new girl, she's already cheating!"

Your jaw hit the floor. The girl they showed pictures of was not Miya. The girl was a very blonde and very conservative looking.

"Man, Karma's a bitch."

"What'd you say Jason?"

"Kaiba's cheating on Miya with some blonde, and the blonde's cheating on him. Karma baby, karma."

"Wow, that's heartbreaking."

"Mhm. If he hurts my baby sister, he's going to wish he'd never met me."

"Jason! If you do that, you'll blow your cover!"

You sighed and slunk down onto the couch next to her. She was right, but you still couldn't bury the feeling of wanting to kill him for this. You got up and went back to your computer and just stared at it. Too irritated to remember what you had been doing.

Miya's POV

You were just about an hour or two outside of Chicago's Midway airport, and the jet was still set to auto. This gave you about another 45 minutes to spend with Ali before you attention would be turned to landing.

"can't you spend a few days with us Miya? I'm sure Seto won't mind."

"I would love to, but I'm far enough behind in school and I start tutoring tomorrow. Maybe I can over the winter holiday or something. Thanksgiving even."

"Oh yeah! That would be awesome. I'm sure the entire family will be dying to see you. And you could bring the boys, my uncle is a duel monsters freak."

"Hm, speaking of which, I never asked if you dueled?"

"Not really. I mean I have cards, but an infant could beat me."

"Ha, maybe that's something we'll have to work on. I can hook you up with some good cards and then we can duel each other through our computer system. Get you practiced up."

"Awesome. But oh my god I'm sure Mom's about ready to jump out of her skin! She'll be so excited to see you. And yeah she'd love it if you came to a family holiday."

"Just, what if Chris is there? Seto would kill him the second he saw him."

"Oh heh, that would be awkward. But I doubt he will be. Mom's pretty pissed at him right now, I told her what he tried."

"Oh, how'd she take it?"

"She can't believe he would do something like that, but again she can. She knows he's always had an odd obsession with you."

You nodded. Any encounter with Chris while Seto was around would defiantly turn into a blood war. Thinking about that day not only reminded you of Chris, it brought Ryan into your mind.

"Oh shoot! We didn't stop by and see Ryan!"

"Aww, well I'll just have to give him a call in about a week or so. Let things cool down at the that company before I even try to go there. Oh and you'd better bring him with when you come."

"Whys that?""Or mom will attack you. She hasn't seen either of you in god knows how long, she's dying to see you all again. She's very sentimental like that."

"I know."

"Are we there yet?"

"Ali, do not start. I don't want to hurt you this close to home."

"Hah, yeah. Take me home all beaten and bloody.."

"That would go over well with Mom."

"Eh someday, I think she'd thank you."

"Yeah I could see that. But I'm sure she still wouldn't like it."

Ali nodded.

"12 miles to selected destination. Auto-pilot disengaged in 2 minutes."

"Buckle up Ali."

You strapped yourself in and took the controls, turning off the auto pilot.

Seto's POV

It was now close to midnight. Veronica hadn't been sending the updates as you had asked. She was just sending them at random intervals, just to annoy you.

"You are still awake Mr. Kaiba? I hope you know that Miya won't be too happy with you."

"As long as you don't tell her, she will never know."

"You didn't exactly program me with a lying mechanism."

"Hm, we'll have to change that won't we?"

"Speaking of change: they are landing in 5 minutes."

"Hm, that's strange. Calculate arrival home time."

"Judging on previous flight patterns and time, 10 a.m. Monday."

"10? Wow, she must be pushing that jet hard. She cut up 6 hours."

"She's been flying at a constant 250 mph. Slower than you normally do."

"How is she cutting that much time off?"

"She has clearances you don't have access to."

You leaned back in your chair. Miya really was perfect, well except for a bit of a rocky past. But that just started to make you wonder what else you didn't know about her. How did she have these connections.

"Veronica, shut down. I have updates to install."

"Yes sir."

The room went silent and began your manual hard drive updates. On top of that, you began a background search on Miya. Not like you hadn't seen the basics, since your company performs one before you hire a new employee.

You scanned through her search, finding nothing too extremely out of the ordinary. You already knew whatever illegal work she did, was under different alias' and you knew about most of those. That's probably where she had connections. She'd probably come up with a few allies while doing work for Lex over the years.

You clicked on the link to Ryan's profile, to see if there was a way you could get him out from under Pegasus.

When his profile loaded your blood froze in your veins. In bold red letters next to his name was the word "Missing".

He was Miya's only family besides Aaron, and he was missing. You knew something was wrong, Pegasus must be behind it.

"Big bro? You in here?"

"Yeah Mokuba." You turned off the screen and walked out into the library.

"Something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"No Moki. What'd you need?"

"When is Miya gonna be back?"

"They're landing now, so she'll be home in the morning."

"Oh okay."

He turned on his heels and starting walking away. He stopped at the doorway and turned around and faced you.

"Don't worry so much." He smiled and ran off.

You went to your office upstairs and dialed Industrial Illusions.

"Industrial Illusions, Mel speaking. How may I direct your call?"

"I need to speak with Maxamillon Pegasus."

"Pin code?"

"756921-34"

The phone went silent for a few moments as your call was transferred.

"Hello there. Take it your calling to rub it in my face that you got him free, and right from under my nose! And not to mention my assistant!"

"What are you talking about you crazy fool?"

"Ryan! You imbecile, don't you play koy with me!"

You hung up the phone quickly. Ryan really was missing, and Pegasus had nothing to do with it. Normally he'd boast and me all smug about this type of thing.

You ran your hands through you hair with a sigh. Silently you were thanking some higher being that Miya wasn't going to be home for a number of hours. This gave you time to calm yourself.

Staring out the window at the darkening sky, Miya's smile kept running through your mind. You knew that when she found out, that you wouldn't see that smile for a long time. The thought of it made your heart want to bust.

Miya's POV

The quick reunion with Ali's parents was a very, chaotic to say the least. Most of them had heard about Chris and were all wanting to know what really had happened. Apparently none of them had heard from Chris since he ran off from the base.

Not wanting to really think about it, you told them your jet was ready to leave and ran off to it.

Now that you were back on the jet and heading back home, you couldn't wait to see that Domino skyline. Kaiba Corp would be one of the first building you saw since it was on of the tallest buildings in the city.

Thinking about that made you long for your bed. Being on a jet with no sleep for this long, it really made you appreciate the godly soft bed you had waiting for you.

You sat and thought for a moment, then you remembered you had to call Ryan when you got back. You turned your cell phone back on and saw that you had 3 missed calls, all from Seto. He was worried, even though you had told him not to be.

Instead of calling him back, you decided to wait until you were able to set the jet into auto pilot.

Once in the air and set on auto back to Domino, you dialed Ryan's number.

"Hello?" a unfamiliar voice said.

"Ryan?"

"No Ms. I'm Detective Sergeant from the Domino Police department."

"What? Where is my brother? Ryan Suro?"
