*Cue Epic Yugioh Theme*
Chapter 3: The Dragon Within
Kaiba walked out of the game store still shaken from seeing the single card Bloom held in her hand. Quickly Kaiba took out his deck and went through it only to discover she indeed had one of HIS cards. But he'd get it back soon enough. The CEO placed back on his helmet readying himself to leave. Adjusting his mirror Kaiba paused as he noticed the red head in his rear view. "Phew! Wow, talk about luck! I'm glad I caught you." Bloom exclaimed. "Why did you bother? I already told you that I'm busy. But make no mistake I'm not done with you yet. Or did you not understand that?" Kaiba scoffed. "Yeah but I thought you might like this back..." the redhead murmured before she held out to him the precious Blue Eyes White Dragon. Kaiba paused as his eyes met hers for a moment. Afterward, the CEO lifted up his hand and gently accepted the card. As soon as he touched it Kaiba gasped as images flooded his head. {Oh no! Not this again!} the blue eyed male cried. He saw himself with that girl again. White hair and blue eyes. Ancient Egypt with him and the Pharoah. The images kept flashing in his head over and over until everything went black.
"K-Kaiba!" Bloom cried in a panic before the CEO stumbled and fell towards. "Ka-Kaiba!?" the redhead tried again but she couldn't seem to get through to him. (Could he be under some kind of spell?) "I-I'm fine!" Kaiba insisted and caught herself slowly getting back to his feet. "But-" "Don't make me repeat myself...But I will extend my gratitude for returning my Blue Eyes to me...I look forward to my next meeting..." "...Bloom...my name is Bloom..." "...Well, then Bloom...later..." Kaiba muttered before he got back on his motorcycle and took off. His heart was racing as he attempted to clear those damned images from the past from his head. It seemed that Ancient Egypt and his past life was coming back to haunt him. All he did was touch the damn card. Why was this happening!? Before the CEO even realized it he was attempting to chase the answers leaving marks burned on the road. Finally, Kaiba arrived back at his company and parked his motorcycle. Without a word deep in thought, the blue eyed male walked through the automatic doors. Normally his ears would be flooded with the non-stop chatter of his employees but instead, he was greeted with silence. He could sense it. Someone or something was in this room.
"Come out! Unless you're too much of a coward to deal with me face to face!" Kiba spat before a voice finally emerged. "Now Now there's no need to be hostile...not after we've come such a long way to meet you." a red head muttered wearing nothing but black leather. The CEO only smirked. "Now that's funny...I think I would've remembered a meeting with a wannabe biker gang..." Kaiba scoffed as he noticed the red haired man was not alone. "Check out the mouth on this one..." the male with dreadlocks snickered. "I know I quite like it..." the redheaded male grinned in approval. "Well I'll say one thing...you've got my attention...now...what is it you want?" Kaiba question as he narrowed his blue eyes. "Ugh..." the red head cringed. "What's the matter? Realize you're out of your league yet?" "Hardly. You just reminded me of someone I HATE..." "...Start talking...what did you do with my staff...?" "Oh don't worry about them...they're just taking a bit of a snooze..." The CEO began to crack his knuckles. "Good...because things are about to get messy...I hope you're not afraid of blood because you're gonna see ALOT of it!" Kaiba hissed before a hidden blade emerged from his boots and his sleeves.
Before the men could even blink the CEO came at them ready to tear them to pieces. "THIS IS MY COMPANY AND NOBODY MESSES WITH MY COMPANY!" Kaiba roared. He would make them pay for this! "And here we heard you were a man of business...so we CAME to talk about BUSINESS!" "I'M NOT INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO WHATEVER YOU GOONS HAVE TO SAY!" the blue-eyed male told them as he kept attacking them as they dodged his various attempts. "Even if it means learning about your heritage?...The blood that flows through your veins...?" Ogron questioned. "...Seto Kaiba...or should I refer to you as Priest Seto...?" Kaiba paused before he narrowed his eyes. "...Who the hell are you people...?" the blue eyed male demanded to know before the group of men in black just laughed. "...WE...are the Wizards's Of The Black Circle...you'd do well to remember it...oh and DO tell the little Faerie hello for me...it's been FAR too long..." the wizard grinned before he clapped his hands vanishing in a forceful burst of smoke. Kaiba coughed only to see the strangers were gone as quickly as they came. Slowly the employees groaned and peered around the room confused.
Only once they saw their one andOnly once they saw their one and only boss did fear soon take hold of them. Quickly everyone got back to work before a thought hit the CEO. "MOKUBA!" he gasped and hurried up to the fourth floor. Luckily his fears were not realized as he saw his brother safe and sound. Kaiba let out a sigh of relief before his brother's voice. "Hey, bro! You ok? You look a bit pale..." Mokuba questioned with a frown. "Don't worry I'm alright. Anything scheduled for today?" "Yeah actually. There's a promotional party taking place tonight." "And that is...?" "Um...To promote your new sensor system? You know...for the investors...you were gonna do a demonstration...EARTH TO SETO! COME IN PLEASE! Mokuba cried as the elder brother seemed to be lost in thought. In a moment Kaiba pulled himself out of the void. "I'm going to take a shower before the party...keep an eye on things..." "Sure thing Big Bro!" Mokuba told him before he watched until his brother was out of his sight. He knew his brother and nothing phased him but the look on his face said otherwise. Something was definitely bothering him. Maybe Yugi would know what was going on. Though he hated going behind his older brother's back. He didn't see any options left.
