FF 8 Days Later.

Miya's POV

You were staring at the clock in your 7th period class. It seemed like it had been stuck at the same time for the past hour. Finally, the bell rang and you rushed out to your car. You had been going to Kaiba Manor every day after school for a week or so now. Most of the time when you were over the doctor had Kaiba in some drug induced coma, forcing him to stay in bed. You had yet to see him awake, but Mokuba had. That fact alone let up on some of the worry.

Everyday at about the same time, you'd pull up in the Kaiba's driveway and the two boys would come running out to see you. First you'd go up and check on Kaiba, then come back downstairs and help the boys with their homework. Today it was different. They didn't come running out.

You got out and locked your car and opened the front door. It was very quiet and you didn't see any of the maids or anyone for that matter. As always you went straight up to Kaiba's room, more at a sprint today. The door was cracked and you could hear both Aaron and Mokuba. You knocked lightly.

"Oh Miya's here!"

Mokuba ran to the door and flung it open. He stood there for a moment then tackled you in a hug. Aaron was close behind.

"What in the world is up with you two today huh?" you said wrestling them off you.

"Seto! He's awake!"

Your head looked up from Mokuba and your eyes met with Kaiba's. They were as blue as ever, and he seemed to be back to his normal color. You stood there silent for a moment, not sure what to say or do.

"Hey Miya…"

His voice snapped you back into reality. Mokuba grabbed your hand and pulled you over towards the bed. You didn't know if it was just you, but it seemed like he got slightly uncomfortable when you got that close.

"So Miya, are still gonna help us with our homework? We've got a test tomorrow."

"If you think you need my help, sure. I'd be glad to."

"Sweet, we'll be right back."

Before you could say anything, both boys were gone. They had left you alone with Kaiba. You continued to stare at the door in disbelief, not wanting to meet with Kaiba's gaze again.

"Miya, I…I want to say thank you."

You finally turned around to face him, he was staring out the window.

"Mokuba told me about what's been going on the past week."

"Oh."

"And I want to thank you for it. Mokuba really needed you, and I appreciate you…being there for him…"

"Kaiba, Mokuba is like another brother to me. I'd do just about anything for that kid."

"So would I, and the same for Aaron."

"Will you two please stop fighting and get back together!" you heard both boys almost cry from the hallway.

Seto's POV

"Kaiba, Mokuba is like another brother to me. I'd do just about anything for that kid."

It hurt you for some reason to hear her call you Kaiba again. You just couldn't be mad at her. It didn't make sense. If she had been with Wheeler, why would she have been here everyday for Mokuba, and to check to make sure you were okay?

"So would I, and the same for Aaron."

"Will you two please stop fighting and get back together!"

Miya turned to look out in the hallway, then turned back but was now staring out the window. That's when you noticed something very different about her. Her eyes were a grayish color, not her normal, bright blue.

"Please you guys?"

"Now boys, Kaiba is just getting better. This isn't something you should be bringing up, or even getting involved in."

You were shocked by the sadness you heard in her voice. Moments later her phone began ringing.

"I'll be back in a sec. I've gotta take this."

She maneuvered through the boys and went into the hallway. Aaron came and sat next to you on the bed.

"You know what Seto?"

"What Aaron?"

"She hasn't been herself lately."

"She seems fine to me." you lied.

"No. I know she's not okay. She hardly smiles, and when she does…It's a forced one. She thinks she's hiding it from me, but she can't. It just like how we were."

"Aaron, she's strong. She'll perk back up soon."

"I don't think so. After Ryan disappeared she was like this…for as long as I could remember."

"What helped her get over that?"

He looked up at you, tears in his eyes.

"You did."

Miya's POV

You hung up. The call had been from the job Mokuba lined up for you. Apparently his wife wasn't going to allow a teenaged female to be her husbands assistant. Honestly you couldn't blame her, if you had been in her shoes, you would have made the same decision.

"Miya?"

"Oh hey Mokuba. Everything okay?"

"Well yeah I guess so. But um, I found out where Seto got that photo."

Your head snapped to look up at Mokuba.

"Where?"

Mokuba sighed and sat down next to you.

"I watched the office security video and it was…It was Lex. That's why he's doubting himself so badly."

You heart beat and breathing got shallow. Lex was screwing with your life, again. You weren't going to put up with it. He was trying to get you to come back and work for him, you knew it.

"Mokuba, I'll be back later."

"What? Where are you going?"

You ran out to your car and revved up the engine. Your phone began ringing. It was Mokuba. You activated your Bluetooth and answered.

"Miya, you're going to see Lex aren't you."

"Yes Mokuba. This is that last time that man will ever mess with me, my family and my friends. Can you send me a screening of that photo?"

"Sure thing. Where to?"

"I'll send the IP address to Veronica. Kay?"

"Alright, be safe Miya."

You hung up and connected your Bluetooth to your cars built in computer system.

"Receiving document from a private network."

You recognized the IP address as Veronica's.

"Open file."

As the computer opened the file you set a course to Lex Corp in Naginato. A few minutes later, the photo popped open on the computer screen in your dash board.

"Scan photo for anything an editor could have left behind."

"Scanning."

It felt like forever before the program turned up negative. Who ever had edited this photo was extremely good at it and had a high tech program. You thought for a moment, doing 90 mph crossing out of Domino city limits.

"Scan local and international media sources for photos with like pixels and media code."

This scan didn't take nearly as long.

"6 photos found with similar media and pixel codes."

You set you car into auto and quickly scanned over the 6 photos on the screen. One stuck out. It was the exact same as the photo of you and Joey pose-wise.

"Open file 354-B and compare to downloaded file."

They opened side by side. They were the same photo. The one of you and Joey was just zoomed up and they had cropped out the background and replaced it. Then they had somehow photo shopped Kaiba to look exactly Joey, which couldn't have been too difficult. They're height was close enough, and their body build. When your computer finally cracked through the Photoshop codes, you could see every edit that had occurred on the photo.

"Lex you son of a …Computer, send these files to Mokuba Kaiba. High priority."

Mokuba's POV

You walked back in the room, trying to hide that fact you were worried.

"You ready to go start working on that test review? I'm sure Miya wants to get home."

You weren't sure what to say, you didn't want to upset your brother by telling him that Miya went to Lex's.

"Mokuba?"

"Huh?"

"My sister left didn't she."

Your brother and Aaron were both looking at you.

"Mokuba, who was that that called her?" Seto asked sitting up a bit more.

"I don't know, but umm…yeah she left."

"Where'd she go? When's she gonna be back? We have to do that test review."

"I…She…"

"Mokuba, where did she go?"

"She went to Lex's. She found out that it was him who sent that picture."

You looked up and Seto had gone pale again, and Aaron was looking terribly scared. You heard your laptop's message alert going off like crazy. You quickly opened it.

It was a high priority message from Miya. You opened the message and your jaw dropped.

"It was a fake!"

"What are you talking about Mokuba?" Seto asked.

You couldn't speak, you just handed the laptop to Seto.

Seto's POV

On Mokuba's screen were two photos. One was of you and Miya, probably taken by some media reporter. The other was the photo Lex sent you. On the side were the different photo shop effects used to edit the photo.

"They're the same photo…"

Your heart stopped. You had pushed the one person in your life that loved you away. All because of some lie spun by someone you never should have believed.

"I can't believe that I believed that bastard…"

"Seto, Miya could get…She went to go confront him…She could be hurt!" Mokuba was stuttering badly behind his tears. Aaron was standing there silent, looking like he was about to go into shock.

You weakly got out of bed and called Roland.

"Get my jet ready. I've got to be somewhere now."

You got dressed and rushed to the flight deck.

"Mr. Kaiba sir, you really shouldn't be doing this."

"Shut up Roland."

-I got her into this mess and I'm the one who needs to fix it.-

Miya's POV

Lex was waiting for you when you skidded to a stop in front of his building. You threw your car into park and got out of the car, slamming the door shut. If it hadn't been for the six rather large guards standing around him, you would have went straight for the kill.

"Welcome home Miya! I was missing you oh so terribly."

"You lying bastard! How dare you!"

"Please come inside Miya. We have to prepare you for some missions of high importance."

You didn't move, you were going to settle this now. Even if it meant possible getting yourself killed. Lex was never going to mess with Aaron, Mokuba, Kaiba or anyone else ever again.

"Come along Miya. We don't have all day."

Before you could react, you collapsed to the ground in agonizing pain. You couldn't move and electrical pulses were radiating through your body, making your head want to explode.

"Are you going to behave like a good little girl now?"

The pain stopped and you could finally breathe again. When you tried to stand up, your body was too weak and you fell back to the ground. A guard bound your hands behind your back and another one picked you up and flung you over his shoulder.

FF 30 minutes

Lex had locked you in some darkened office and chained you to a wall. Although you couldn't see all that well, you could hear him perfectly clear through the door. He stepped in and flipped the lights on, nearly blinding you.

"Now, when Kaiba boy gets here, you'd better be a good girl. Cause if you aren't, all I have to do is push this little button and it's back to the agonizing pain." Lex smirked and waved the small remote in your face, then left the room.

You stared at the door for a moment before you realized what he had said. Kaiba was on his way here.

You heard a familiar voice outside the door, and it wasn't Lex. It was Chris.

"Yes sir?"

"Chris, I need you to go set up a sniper post at A-2."

"Here? Might I ask why?"

"We have a guest coming. Now go!"

"Right away sir!"

Your mind was running on full throttle. Lex was planning on killing him…and you couldn't do anything. You were still too weak to even try and break these chains. You were trying to determine flight time, and if he had left soon after you did then…

"He's already in our airspace Miya."

You flinched.

"Chris? What…what are you doing?"

"I'm coming to repent for what I did to you. You need to stop Kaiba from getting off that jet and getting near the A-2 landing spot. Austin will shoot as soon as he has a line up. I'll try and stop Austin, but if I can't…You need to get Kaiba before Austin gets his line up."

He quickly undid your chains and removed the shock implant that Lex had somehow gotten on you when you got out of your car.

"Thank you so much Chris."

Without thinking, you hugged him tightly and began running toward the stair way and up to the flight deck.

Seto's POV

You wanted so badly to land and kill Lex as soon as you saw him, but you knew he had something else planned. He was all too willing to get you land on his flight deck. When you landed, you slowly got out as you scanned the area for some possible trap.

Miya's POV

You were running so fast that you had tripped up the stairs at least 3 or 4 times. When you reached the top floor, you caught a glimpse of the Blue Eyes jet outside one of the windows, Kaiba was just stepping out of it.

"Kaiba! No!"

You began to run faster, the door to the deck seemed to not be getting any closer.

Seto's POV

When you stepped out of the jet and set foot on the deck's cement, you thought you heard someone scream.

-I don't like this…He looks too smug.-

"Where's Miya Lex!"

"Why don't you come here and we'll discuss Miya."

"Kaiba! Stop!"

Miya came running out of the door behind Lex and you took a step forward ready to take her into your arms. When she got with in arms length, you could see tears streaming down her face. The sound of a gun shot echoed in your head.

Miya tried to push you away and you fell to the ground. She landed on top of you, cringing in pain.

"Miya!"

She didn't look up at you. She slowly closed her eyes and you felt her heart beat slow.

"No! Miya!"
