Bakura noticed that this was a perfect chance to slip out of the room, so he quietly trotted down the steps and left from the back doors. Once he quietly closed the doors he walked to his bedroom, which wasn't that far away from the throne room.
Once he reached his room and shut the door, he sat on his bed, knees against his chest. He pulled his right arm sleeve up and turned on his wrist watch communicator. Seto answered immediately, and sounded as though he really wanted to know any new info.
*Seto Kaiba here, what's happened Bakura?*
"I have so much to tell you, Seto."
And so, Seto listened to Bakura for half an hour straight, clinging on to every word, every phrase. Seto Kaiba was sitting at his desk in his personal office, hands folded and elbows resting on the polished wood surface. Bakura was practically out of breath when he was finished explaining. The evil spirit in Bakura actually felt tired from explaining, but he wasn't sure why.
*...I see, Bakura. So Yugi finally cracked, and he even tried to kill Yami for ruining his young life and stealing the girl he loves. He's got guts, I'll give him that. Other than that, what else happened?*
"Well, Yugi ran away and became lost in the panicking crowd of guests, so finding him would be very hard."
*Perfect. You see Bakura, I just thought of an amazing idea. Yugi is probably still at a corrupted state of mind, yes? He probably fled to the darker areas of Cairo, so that he would not be found.*
"What are you trying to get at?"
*I have the perfect plan to fulfill my revenge, gain my blue eyes white dragon cards back, and...retrieve Yugi's millennium puzzle. That's the whole point we made this deal, right?*
Bakura noticed the change in Seto voice. He sounded very dark and evil, yet intelligent and sophisticated.
"Yes, we made the deal back when you first came to the palace in your helicopter."
*I know, and I now know what I must do. There's something I've been working on these past years; I started it the day I lost against that cynical fool Yami at Kaibaland.* Seto rose from his chair and walked out of his personal office and into the hallway.
"Bakura, the thing I've been working on is a dueling arena specially made for my duel with Yugi Moto."
*A duel with Yugi? How could you possibly duel him, if you don't even know where he is?*
"That's why I'm going to send a search team to find him. Knowing Yami, he will also send a search team to find Yugi, but my men will find him first. One second."
Seto pushed a button on his wrist watch communicator and shouted, "This is your boss, Seto Kaiba. You all are going on a search mission for Yugi Moto. Use whatever transportation necessary to find him. Once you find him, knock him out, capture him and bring him to me in my personal office. You have seven days to find him. He is somewhere in the urban parts in Cairo, New Egypt. If you can't find him within those seven days, you'll all be fired. Start the search now!"
Seto pressed the button on his wrist watch communicator again, reached the end of the hallway, which led to an elevator. He put his thumb on a fingerprint detector, as well as looking into an eye identification processor, which allowed for the elevator to unlock. He stepped inside the elevator and it closed automatically. The elevator arrow was pointing down, so Seto was going down some 50 levels because his personal office is at the top floor.
"Okay I'm back Bakura, you still there?"
*Yes, I'm still here.*
"Here's the plan. Once my men bring me Yugi, I'm going to force him to duel me. He can't leave until after the duel. If he wins, we will let him free to go. If I win, I will take his millennium puzzle, take his title of King of Games, and have my men beat him. Remember, I still want my blue eyes white dragon cards back, and knowing Yugi he doesn't have them with him."
*Well, then the only other person that may have them is...?*
"Yami, which I'm going to black mail him into giving me my cards back. He'll have 3 hours to bring them to me at the special dueling arena. By the time he gets here, I would have won the duel with Yugi and my men would have beaten him. So, if he doesn't bring them to me in time, my men will annihilate Yugi, permanently."
Bakura's spirit was shocked from hearing that, but kept quiet about it.
The elevator doors opened and Seto exited them, as he entered an extremely huge dueling room. He was walking towards the riser as he said to Bakura
"It will be the ultimate revenge Bakura. Nothing will stop me from becoming the new King of Games!"
This is where he smirked and stepped onto the riser, as it lifted him up. He now had fists by his sides, raising his right fist up in triumph.
"Yugi will see and feel what I had to feel, the feeling of utter defeat. The feeling of having your dueling spirit broken! That's what I want him to feel!" He laughed manically, his risen fist now half covering his face.
"A corrupted young mind completely broken and annihilated! I will rise as the best duelist in the world! Beating him down as a duelist and a broken boy!" As he continued laughing, he calmed down as the minutes passed.
"And Yami will see...what the fruit of his foolishness has reaped before him."
Bakura's spirit was shocked from hearing all of that, and turned off his wrist watch communicator immediately. He didn't even want to look at it, as he struggled to take it off his wrist, and then threw it on the floor.
"It seems as though Seto wants more than to just defeat Yugi...he wants to murder him."
Thus, with him going straight to sleep and the others staying in guest rooms, Yami was recovering in the Palace's hospital. He managed to sleep, but all he could think about was Yugi. He had asked before he was put in the infirmary for a search team to find Yugi and bring him back safely.
But safe, doesn't necessarily mean sound.
