A/N : Hello again! So... been off ill for the past two days so was hopefully going to do lots of writing but only managed to be well enough to get on the computer today at about two... so not a huge amount of success there, however I have managed to get this chapter completed. I have decided to challenge myself and try a bit of action and as a non-driver, the car chase wasn't easy... not sure how it's gone... yet again, you can be my judge and let me know. Enjoy! Xx

Chapter Six

Yukiko covered her eyes as the car shot forwards. She thought they were driving into the path of the moving traffic, but at the last moment, Kaiba span the steering wheel, causing them to skid as they did a 180 degree turn. He slammed his foot back down and they shot back the way they'd come. Yukiko gripped onto the edge of her seat trying to keep herself calm. It was proving difficult as they came to the end of the road and took another sharp turn right. The men who had already exited their car paused for a split second before dashing back to their waiting vehicle. Yukiko peeked through her fingertips as she felt the boisterous movements of the car she was in. Kaiba was winding between the traffic expertly. It was as if he'd done this before. They rounded another corner and Kaiba slammed the breaks on. Before them was a terrible traffic jam as a mass amount of cars waited impatiently for the lights to change. Kaiba cursed under his breath and tried to reverse, but they were already trapped by more cars adding to the traffic. He could only hope their car would blend in with the other cars surrounding them, but he doubted this would be the case. He knew these fools who were chasing them were professional, not some thugs for hire. As they waited, Kaiba pulled out his cell from his pocket. He quickly dialled a number and held the phone to his ear.

"Kenta, have you got Mokuba?" He asked harshly without even a greeting. He paused listening to the response. Yukiko could see him visibly relax after hearing the answer.

"Good. Get him home and don't let him out of your sight." Kaiba ordered before ending the call. Yukiko waited for an explanation, but when one didn't come she had to ask.

"Mokuba's okay?" She asked concerned.

"When the threat appeared, I sent Kenta to collect Mokuba from school. I will not let anyone touch my family." He scowled, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. Yukiko tried to relax back into the chair, still glancing behind them. She couldn't help but smile at Kaiba's response. He may seem like a cold hearted business orientated man to the majority of the world, but the man had his heart in the right place. No matter what, he would protect those close to him. If they weren't in such a tense situation, she could have kissed him. Just as she glanced in the mirror again, she saw the black car pull up at the back of the growing traffic queue. The doors yet again were thrown open and three men got out, all dressed in black, sunglasses hiding their eyes and armed with guns. Yukiko froze seeing the arms. These guys were serious. What the hell was going on? This wasn't right!

"Seto…" Yukiko whispered, unable to take her eyes off the men as they began winding their way through the cars towards them. Kaiba had already seen them. He was scanning the area, trying to come up with an escape strategy. They were in the centre lane of three lanes of cars. There was a small amount of space between each car, but would it be enough? He glanced along the pavement. Just a little further ahead there was a small alley way between two large buildings.

"Hold on," He muttered. Yukiko stared at him as if he was crazy. Where did he intend to go? Kaiba turned the steering wheel.

He began to quickly twist the car around, banging and scraping into many of the cars around them, much to the other drivers anger. Horns began blaring and drivers actually began to climb out of their cars, but before they could do anything, Kaiba had pushed through the small gap, scraping and denting his own car as well as the rest, and get onto the pavement. He quickly sped along the walkway, beeping his car horn, warning pedestrians of their approach. People cried out in panic and fled into shops or pressed themselves up against the wall to avoid getting hit. Then they reached the alley way. Kaiba took the sharp turn and they sped down the tight empty space. The alley was short and soon they came to a cross. They could easily see straight on was blocked off by a wooden fence. Kaiba immediately took the left as Yukiko glanced behind them. There was no sign of the men, but even so. They continued on along the labyrinth of alley ways. They came upon another bend in the backstreet. They turned right and were met by another fence. Kaiba pulled right up to it. He glanced around at Yukiko who looked ready to faint. He quickly undid his belt and opened the door. There was barely enough room for him to slip out of the car in the small space, but he managed it. He gazed around. The alley was filthy the walls covered in graffiti. They needed to get out of there as quickly as possible. If they didn't run into the idiots after them, they might run into thugs. He glanced behind the car and decided there was too much danger in back tracking. They had to go forwards, and that meant over the fence. Yukiko saw Kaiba get out and followed quickly after him. She slid out of the door and watched as Kaiba gestured for her to climb on top of the car bonnet. She did as she was told and Kaiba climbed up next to her.

"We're going to climb over," He spoke looking down at her. He quickly grabbed hold of the fence and hoisted himself over with ease. Yukiko stared after him. She was sure she wouldn't be able to do it with such ease. She grabbed hold of the wood and tried to climb over it, ending up lying flat on her stomach on top of it. Very ungraceful, she thought to herself sourly. She managed to lower her body over the other side, but her arms were still crossed on the edge. She couldn't reach the ground.

"Let go," Kaiba's voice spoke. Yukiko was reluctant, but she couldn't become a wuss at a time like this. She let go and fell. In an instant she felt arms catch her. Yukiko glanced at Kaiba who was holding her close. He was grinning at her. She felt her face flush instantly. She'd just had to wear a skirt that day didn't she? Definitely not the best attire for climbing over fences. Kaiba placed Yukiko back down onto her feet. Yukiko examined the new surroundings. The bricks were dirty in colour on either side of them. There were metal ladders that ran up either side of the buildings they were between. Fire escapes maybe? There were metal bins lining the sides, over flowing with rubbish and bottles of empty beer and cigarette ends scattered across the already dirty floors. In front of them there were two ways, one that led left and one straight on. Kaiba quickly took a hold of Yukiko's hand, pulling her forwards and straight forwards. They walked back out onto a street and out of the alley way. In a way this part of Domino city was just as bad as the alley they'd just left. It looked like an old industrial estate with warehouses and factories lining the street, a few of which looked abandoned. Yukiko felt a wave of hopelessness wash over her. They'd lost the car, their transport and the enemy still had theirs. They were in a part of town which sent shivers up her spine and made her feel fearful. How could they win? At that moment, Kaiba squeezed her hand encouragingly. She chanced a gaze up at the man. He was looking ahead of them a firm and almost confident look on his face. She smiled pushing those thoughts back. He was how they would win. He wouldn't give up. As they were walking Kaiba pulled out his phone again. Yukiko barely paid any attention as he dialled.

"Kenta, we need a ride," Kaiba spoke as they continued along the street, Yukiko nervously glancing around them as they walked. The buildings were old and parts of the large brick work were crumbling away. Most were hemmed away by wired fencing, but had large holes in them. Who would want to come to this part of town? Yukiko glanced around again nervously. She had a bad feeling in her stomach. It felt as though they were been watched. Of course they stuck out like a sore thumb here, what with Kaiba in his suit and herself in her office type clothes. At the thought, she pulled at the hem of her pencil skirt nervously. Kaiba had finished his call and looked down at Yukiko.

"I feel like we're been watched," Yukiko muttered to him nervously. His eyes darted up and scanned around.

"I know," He spoke softly, his eyes narrowing.

They continued walking, Yukiko unable to help but glance nervously around. They crossed the road and began to walk on the other side of the street. It was odd to think they were walking so calmly in plain sight of anyone. They stopped before a derelict building. Kaiba examined it and pushed part of the broken fence aside, gesturing for Yukiko to enter. She slipped through the fence but gave Kaiba a questioning look. Why were they breaking into an old abandoned warehouse? He slipped through the fence after her and led the way into the crumbling building. It was an old thing with red bricks and large arched windows, most of which were broken or had been boarded up. It was about four storeys high and looked pretty creepy. The large sign across the top of the entrance was peeling away and was badly weathered making it impossible to read. Kaiba pushed the wooden doors open and stepped inside. Yukiko followed him frowning.

The place was empty apart from the steel girders holding the structure up. There was several metal stair cases positioned in intervals along the length of the building, leading up to a second floor, then a third, followed by a fourth. It was on the third and fourth levels, there were offices hidden from view by concrete walls. Rubble and bits of rusted metal lined the floors.

"What is this place?" Yukiko muttered getting chills from the skeletal remains of a building. It was creepy in here and she'd never really been one to enjoy ghost stories.

"This is an old Kaiba Corp Warehouse. We should be safe here till Kenta arrives." Kaiba spoke quietly, but his voice echoed all around in the shell of a building. Yukiko nodded, deciding not to admit that she didn't feel safe at all in there. Kaiba quickly took her hand and pulled her over to one of the rusting metal stair cases. Without hesitating he took them up the flight of stairs, followed by a second. He entered one of the old offices that would look back out on to the street. Inside was practically empty aside from a broken desk and a couple of filling cabinets. He glanced out of the window. The street was still empty. He sighed and turned around to give his full attention to Yukiko. She was glancing around the broken office looking uneasy. He couldn't blame her. It had been her first car chase, mind you thinking back, it was his too. He sat down on the floor, avoiding sitting on any of the smashed glass from the window. Yukiko quickly joined him, pulling her knees up to her chest as she leant against him.

"So… got any theories?" Yukiko asked suddenly, her cheek turning pink. Kaiba glanced around at her.

"About what?" He asked

"You know… whoever is chasing us, whoever's trying to kidnap me or Mokuba?" Yukiko asked. Kaiba shifted uncomfortably. He didn't want to worry her, but he didn't have a clue. When she'd been attacked before at his home, he had believed one of his old rivals, Pegasus or Zigfried Von Schroeder was to blame, but it hadn't been them. It had been an ancient spirit. Who was to say this was a rival now? He had no idea who could be behind this.

"I don't know, but whoever it is will regret it." He spoke his fists clenching. Just at that moment, the sound of a car caught their attention. In an instant, Kaiba was on his feet and cautiously peering out of the window. He recognised the black car rolling slowly down the road. He ducked back down out of sight, his teeth clenched. This was bad. He would never admit it out loud, but they were in trouble.

Yukiko didn't need him to speak to know things weren't looking good. His body language gave him away. She rested her head back against the wall and thought. It seemed a little pointless going to all this hard work just to kidnap her, especially when Kaiba was with her. Surely it would be more dramatic and impacting for them to take her when Kaiba wasn't prepared? So why were they so desperate to get a bargaining chip against him? It was all too confusing for her to try and work out. This whole situation was frustrating and scary. She just wanted to be home watch some TV and go to bed. She didn't want to be hiding out in some dark dank creepy abandoned warehouse. She didn't want to be getting chased by scary men with guns. Guns for god sakes! She'd never imagined she'd ever see one in real life, yet here she was having them pulled on her! She felt her anger getting the better of her and forced herself to calm down. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't hear the sound of car doors opening. Kaiba saw it however and felt a stab of panic which he had to force down. The men had got out of the car. They were heading towards their building, guns already in hand. That was when a second vehicle rounded the corner, pulling up just behind the first. He recognised the car. His own security team sprang to life, jumping out of the car and taking aim at the enemy. Yukiko was only alerted when the first gun shot went off, ringing through the deserted streets. She started and jumped to her feet. Kaiba was by her side in an instant.

"Kenta's here," He informed her pulling her out of the room.

"Was that a gun shot?" She exclaimed unable to believe it. When he didn't answer she continued.

"A gun fight? An actual gun fight?" She squeaked terrified as more shots echoed out. It sounded like all-out war. He continued to lead her down the creaking stairs until they were on the main floor. Instead of going out the way they came, he pulled her close as they left through a back door. Outside they were in a small yard, empty apart from scattered rubbish. They headed towards an exit from the compound, a small distance away from the entrance they'd come in through. Out here the gunshots were louder and Yukiko winced every time one went off. Kaiba held her closer against his chest, hating that she had to experience this. He pushed back the metal fencing. Their car was just before them, all doors open. His security team was crouched around the vehicle taking shelter. Yukiko saw the scene and couldn't help but stare. This wasn't real… it couldn't be real. She had to be dreaming. The men all taking cover and leaning out expertly, taking a shot at the other men stooping behind their car, it was like something straight out of an action movie, not real life.

"Mr Kaiba sir," a voice cried out. It was the man from the door open closest to them. Yukiko recognised the man as head of security. He ran over to them despite the obvious danger of been shot. Kaiba quickly walked out, making sure to shield Yukiko, Kenta covering them. Kaiba ushered Yukiko into the car before following after her. The enemy seemed to realise they were losing their prey as they suddenly went chaotic with their shooting. Kaiba dragged Yukiko into a seat and pulled her protectively close. Men jumped back into the car and there was a moment's pause as Kenta clambered in last. The driver realising they were all accounted for set off.
