Note to readers: HEY! sorry for the long break but college has been SO hectic! I can hardly wait for summer break because the workload is so overwhelming. I have two more exams before though so I won't be posting as often as I normally do. Since i've kept you in suspense I wrote a good-sized chapter! It's focused mainly on Bloom. In the next chapter, we'll see the other characters more. I hope you enjoy Chapter: 96!
Chapter 96: A Golden Opportunity
All eyes were on Hiro as he escorted Bloom down the red carpet finally entering the building. The faerie gazed in awe as she looked at the area that surrounded her. High above them was a crystal chandelier sparkling with a brilliance only equal to the stars themselves reflecting off the lights in the ballroom. A harmonious melody filled the room echoing causing a ripple of sound like a stone being tossed into a tranquil pond.
At the far end of the room, there was a table adorned with a fine dark blue silk tablecloth as fine as any material Bloom had ever said her eyes on. Hourdurves resting on plates with no end to the variety and selection of appetizers along with the gourmet dishes situated near them. Not to mention the sparkling drink that drew one in with one glance. Looking up from the table the faerie was captivated by the ladies and gentlemen dressed up in such an elegant manner. With an enchanting display such as this, the Eraklyon ball seemed to pale in comparison.
One couple, in particular, attracted Bloom's attention as she watched them with her eyes a glow. If only she could dance with Kaiba in this wondrous place under the sparkling lights and pleasant music. Gazing into his blue eyes every moment. Before she would've never even have thought about approaching the dance floor, that is until Stella gave her lessons on how to behave like royalty. Yes, even then she was a dreamer. Of course, as a CEO the faerie was certain Kaiba must've hosted many parties. If only he were here. Suddenly a tap came on her shoulder drawing her out of her daydream.
Bloom jumped slightly started and turned around only to see Hiro with a grin on his face. "Daydreaming are we?" the author teased. "M-Maybe...is that against the rules or something..." the faerie asked slightly embarrassed. Hiro only laughed in response. "A distracted young thing like you is a perfect target for intoxicated men you know." "I'd like to see them try," Bloom narrowed her eyes. "Oh? you enjoy that kind of thing huh?" "I didn't say such a thing!" the faerie protested flustered. The author only laughed more.
"Ahahaha you're so fun to tease. I can see why Mirai likes you." he teased Bloom all the more. "Geesh...you just had to go and spoil the mood..." and she was just starting to enjoy herself and let out a sigh of disappointment. "Maybe it is just a stupid daydream" the redhead murmured to herself and moved towards the dessert table her sight drawn to a heart-shaped cake small enough to eat in your hand. "Oh how cute! That looks absolutely adorable!" Bloom beamed as her face lit up with excitement.
"Do you like my cake?" a familiar voice came from behind her. Odd. She could've sworn she heard that voice before. "Yeah. It's a real work of art. It's almost too pretty to eat." the faerie answered back before she slowly turned around as her eyes widened. "Audric?...?" Bloom questioned in utter surprise as his face displayed the same expression. Nearby Hiro scowered the area for having lost her amongst the crowd. Finally having her in his sight the author sighed relief.
"There she is! I can't take my eyes off her for one measly minute...well well nor can anyone else for that matter...maybe Nathan went a bit too all out with that dress of hers..." Hiro observed noticing all the attention Bloom was drawing. Come to think of it. Who was that with her at the buffet table anyways? the author thought to himself before Mirai's voice echoed on the other end. "Testing one two three! So how is everything on your end, Hiro? Kaiba should be plenty busy with Kaiba Corp's power supply being shut off." Mirai informed Hiro.
"Is she with Chris GoldenWater yet hmm?" "Well, to answer your question she's with A GoldenWater...but not exactly Chris." the author answered Mirai as he continued to keep his eyes on her. "Audric. What a pleasant surprise. I didn't think I would see you again so soon after meeting you the other day." Bloom offered a smile. "Neither was I. But i'm relieved to see you're feeling better." the lavender-haired male smiled in return. "Thank you SO much for your kindness earlier...really..." "Please, there's no need to thank me." Audric insisted.
"Of course I do!" the faerie argued. "So are Noel and Katsuo here with you as well?" Bloom asked curiously. "Yes they are, shall I call them over to us?" Audric offered. "N-No that's not necessary." the redhead shook her hands. The lavendered haired male only chuckled and extended his hand out to Bloom. "Then, would you honor me with a dance?" Audric mused. Bloom paused as she looked at his hand. "Sure why not." she did owe him from helping her out the other day. The faerie allowed him to take her hand before they began to waltz around the middle of the dance floor everyone ceasing their own to watch.
Compared to hers Audric's movement was so fluid and graceful as she followed his lead with his hand around her waist. It was if for that moment they were floating on air like cloud's hugging their feet. As clumsy as Chris Goldwater's brother was at first glance it was hard to believe she was dancing with the same person. Once the song concluded Audric gently broke off from Bloom politely bowing to the other afterward. A wave of applause soon followed causing Audric's face to tint red embarrassed along with hers.
"I-It looks like we drew a bit of unwanted attention...sorry about that..." the lavender-haired male apologized. The faerie only shook her head. "Don't be it was a lot of fun." Bloom offered a smile as he offered her a drink her graciously accepting it taking a few sips. Another round of applause echoed nearby as Noel and Katsuo approached them. "Bravo! It almost looked as if you were a real Prince and Princess." Noel teased with a playful wink. "Yeah, it's amazing you didn't step on each other's toes..." Katsuo added at the end.
"Don't mind him, he's just jealous. As am I must admit." Noel chuckled before he noticed someone coming. "Oh don't look now but our "gracious" host of this fine gala is headed in our direction." the dark green haired male spoke up. Bloom could almost feel the blood freeze in her veins as Chris GoldenWater slowly approached them the host flashing a bright smile.
"Fine job on the cuisine lads! No one can resist visiting the buffet table. But what's really drawing the eyes towards the spread is that beautifully designed ice sculpture." "Naturally. I do strive for beauty in all I do." Noel mused. "Yes, It really is quite the party. I'm certain no one will be able to stop discussing it for many days." Audric agreed with his brother. "Yeah the place is crammed with so much stuff there's hardly any room for that bastards ego..."Katsuo muttered under his breath as he narrowed his eyes looking directly at Chris GoldenWater before Chris's gaze fell upon Bloom as she let slip a giggle.
"Well, this is certainly unexpected. Never in all my years did I believe my little brother could take an interest in a young lady. Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Chris GoldenWater. The host of this extravagant event. CEO of CW Industries. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance." Chris GoldenWater mused as he placed a kiss upon the faerie's hand.
"My name is Bloom it's a pleasure to meet you too Mr. GoldenWater." Bloom smiled sweetly. "Bloom...such a beautiful name...like a flower bud waiting to blossom..." "T-Thank you..." though Bloom hated to admit it Chris was very charming and handsome too. Almost on the same level as Nathan. The faerie felt she was on guy overload today. What girl wouldn't be on Cloud-Nine? Still, she had to try and remain focused.
"So tell me, are you an investor or an invited guest? I must admit i'm rather interested in you." "Oh is that so?" Bloom faked innocence. "Actually I came here with Hiro Tsugetu, the infamous author in Domino City. "I see. Are you involved with him perhaps?" "Huh? O-Oh no! I'm just a really big fan of his novels. When I heard you were hosting a party and Mr. Tsugetsu received an invitation I got so excited I just begged to go with him!" the faerie exclaimed. "In fact, the real reason I wanted to come so badly...is because...i've...i've been interested in you too...for awhile...but someone like me...you'd probably be better off finding a woman more suited to a man such as yourself..." Bloom murmured as she pretended to look distraught and saddened.
Hiro's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. Wow. If that wasn't a performance he didn't know what was. The only question now was did Chris buy it? The boys too looked at each other for a brief moment before Chris GoldenWater spoke up. "Now Now there's no need for tears. Especially for one as cute and pretty as you...in fact, i'd consider it an honor if you'd dance with me as well. It's only fair since you bestowed my brother with one." "Of course! I'd love too!" Bloom exclaimed and began to dance yet again with Chris GoldenWater as her partner.
"Miss Bloom is certainly popular this evening isn't she?" Noel observed. "Oh, she's something alright..." Katsuo muttered disapprovingly. "She must be completely mental to think Chris is her prince charming...The REAL fairytales never result in a "happily ever after" the blonde scoffed before Noel nudged Katsuo in the side. "Hey! what gives!?" he barked before Noel pointed over towards Audric whom only gazed at Bloom with concern glistening in his eyes. Even the worry within them could not be concealed under Audric's glasses. Katsuo frowned slowly before he took notice of that male that had been tailing Bloom all evening.
"So far so good..." Hiro muttered to himself before he made a pained expression hearing the mic ring in his ear. Ow! What the hell is Mirai trying to do? Blow out his eardrum!? "Sorry slight technical difficulty...so what's going on? I can't see well with the crowd so thick..." Mirai inquired. "Well, the chick's not half bad. Chris's appetite for women led him right to her. Lucky for us. Pretty soon we'll have him right where we want him. It WOULD help though if she showed a bit more cleavage. You know sexy seductive?" Hiro snickered.
"Or is that just what YOU want?" Mirai teased on the other end of the earpiece. "Well eye-candy or not keep a close eye on Bloom." "Believe me i'm trying. She DOES understand what the end game of this act she's putting on right?" Hiro questioned. "...I would like to believe she did...yes..." Mirai let out a sigh. "By the way, there are three guys here that are also keeping close to our little Faerie. I know one is Chris's younger brother...but can you check and see if you can pull up any data on them? It's best we are prepared in case things get out of hand. And if those guys are our enemies we need to know now." the author told him.
"The three down there that are all together?" Mirai questioned. "Yep, that would be them," Hiro answered. "Alrighty then give me a moment!" he told Hiro and opened a miniature sized data computer and began to press a few keys at a time. "Annndddd...BINGO! Their names are Noel, Katsuo, and Audric...well well...what do we have here...it looks like these aren't just ANY young men..." Mirai smirked. "Oh? Is that so?" Hiro questioned before Katsuo's eyes turned towards the author again.
"I don't think so..." Katsuo muttered and snapped his finger frying Hiro's earpiece causing him to take it out. "Damn it!" Hiro cursed under his breath seeing it smoking and threw it on the floor. "Well done...after all we can't have such nosey fellows stealing the show now can we?" Noel smiled with a hidden smirk. "Well I personally think it's a pain in the ass!" the blonde muttered as he twitched his eye. "Still we can't allow anyone to get too close to her...Akiba-San told us as much..." Katsuo narrowed his eyes sensing another presence.
"Oui." Noel winked playfully. "...Those two...just what are they plotting?" Katsuo questioned. "Perhaps you should go and greet out party crashers." the green haired male suggested. "That's exactly what I plan to do...Noel...keep an eye on things..." the blonde instructed. "But of course, that's exactly what I plan to do." Noel mused before Katsuo disappeared in a burst of feathers as the dance between Bloom and Chris Goldenwater ended.
"Marvelous simply marvelous!" Chris applauded Bloom with a smile. "I haven't danced like that in ages." he admitted. "Why thank you...but i'm not nearly as good as you are...still it's almost like a dream...being here with you like this...in fact...I think that wine I drank earlier has gone to my head...I feel a bit dizzy..." the faerie murmured as she stumbled before Audric quickly caught her as she tripped backward.
"A-Are you alright Bloom?" Audric questioned. "Y-Yes...I think I may have gotten a little too excited is all." "Thank goodness..." the lavender-haired male sighed before Chris Goldenwater frowned. "Oh dear, my sincere apologies. If you'd like I have a small room upstairs you can lay down in." Chris offered. "I'd like that...thank you..." "Here allow me to escort you..." Chris Goldenwater mused as he offered his arm out to Bloom for support. Carefully she grasped it and made her way up the stairs with the CEO. Noel turned to Audric looking into his eyes before he nodded and made his way outside to the garden in the back.
Marik paused as a young male with lavender hair ran right past him like the wind itself. The tomb keeper raised his eyebrow. "Just what was THAT all about?" Marik questioned. The others could do as they please. Sitting around and eating chocolate edibles but he wanted no part of it. One way or another he was going to find this Chris Goldenwater and see for himself just what kind of threat he posed exactly! Still, he sensed a great power from the boy that had just past him now. Something he couldn't explain. And that wasn't all. There were several aura's radiating from this place.
Whispers erupted as guests turned their gaze toward him. He supposed he must've stood out considering his tan skin, blonde hair, and clothing. For some reason, everyone seemed to be taking shots at his purple belly shirt. "I sware...if one person makes one more comment about my shirt they'll be wearing that punch bowl in the center of the garden!" the Tomb Keeper hissed before he noticed time around him started to cease.
"That hardly sounds like proper party etiquette Marik..." Bakura's icy voice broke the eerie silence before Marik turned around towards the source of the disturbance. "Is that so? In that case, you'll have to forgive me...I never was one to care much about manners..." the Tomb Keeper muttered. "Then perhaps that is the reason you're utterly alone this fine evening...such a shame on a full moon such as this. That is should be destined to be tainted with red blood..." Bakura smirked. "Unless of course, you choose to hand over the Blood Scroll is your possession willingly..." the spirit muttered.
"NOT LIKELY! IF YOU WANT THE SCROLL THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY IT FROM MY DEAD COLD FINGERS!" Marik spat narrowed his eyes as venom dripped off his words. Perhaps it wasn't Chris Goldenwater he had to worry the most about after all. But why was Bakura after the Blood Scrolls? And what was their true purpose? One thing was for certain. Nothing good could come out of Bakura obtaining the scrolls. "Then I shall gladly fulfill your desire..." Bakura grinned darkly as darkness began to eclipse the surrounding area around the two of them. "And this time you won't have your precious Millennium rod to protect you!" Marik narrowed his eyes bitting down on his lip as the shadows slowly consumed them both.
"W-What the hell was that!?" Mirai's mouth dropped as his face turned white as a ghost witnessing such a mortifying scene before his eyes were redirected towards the two kids below. "NOEL!" Audric's voice came as he joined him outside. "Do you sense that!?" the green haired male asked the other. "Yeah...such a dark aura..." Audric narrowed his eyes. "It certainly is...could it be..." "I don't know..." Noel answered as his voice shook with terror. "Go on! There's no telling when HE might emerge!" Noel urged Audric. "Got it!" Audric exclaimed and ran back towards the building going through a secret entrance hidden among the flower bed. Hiro just catching a glimpse of the feat as the author made his way outside just as dumbfounded at Mirai above.
"Alright! Who the hell are you!? I want answers now! You've been stalking Bloom all night using communicators to converse back and forth plotting something!" Katsuo spat as his voice came from behind Mirai carried by the night's wind. "Funny...I was going to ask the same thing..." Mirai grinned before he flipped over Katsuo landing behind him. Quickly the blonde turned towards Mirai not allowing his back to face him the confrontation breaking out into an all-out fist fight. Unfortunately for Katsuo, the darkness permeating the area from Bakura was causing adverse effects weakening his strength thus allowing Mirai to gain the upper hand.
"Now time to see behind the mask!" Mirai exclaimed before his hand emitted a bright glow. "Now! Show your true self!" he cried. "ACK!" Katsuo cried unable to control his body as pure white wings emerge from behind him. Mirai's eyes widened in surprise. {An...Angel...?} "KATSUO!" Noel cried as he looked upwards noticing his friend was in trouble. However, he had other problems to worry about as Hiro stood in the green-haired male's way.
"And just where do YOU think you're going? We're on to your little scheme...I admit though it was pretty clever putting on such a convincing performance to gain the princess's trust..." Hiro smirked. "That should be MY line!" Noel cried in response. "It's a pity that she can't see past your deception. Why else would someone such as yourself allow Chris Goldenwater so close to Miss Bloom!" the green haired male accused the author whom only narrowed his eyes in fury.
"WHY!? To keep A.O.J trash like YOU and your friends in crime from getting their bloodstained hands on MORE power that's why! " Hiro spat angrily loud enough for Audric to hear nearby inside the mansion. "Wait! They think WE'RE members of the Angels Of Justice!?" he cried before shaking his head. Either way, he didn't have time for this. He had to hurry and get to Bloom before Chris was alone with her! "J-Just a bit more..." Audric huffed.
Meanwhile, Bloom sat near the window next to the bed enjoying the chilly breeze wafting through. Since Chris Goldenwater had left the room briefly she decided to take advantage of the view to the garden out back. Gently the faerie tucked a stray piece of red hair behind her ear. Despite what everyone had said about Chris he didn't seem to be the villain everyone had made him out to be. And SHE knew bad guys! After all, she had faught them for years. "...Maybe instead of just making assumptions...I should just ask Chris about Kaiba Corp...I mean...Kaiba's not exactly a well-liked figure either...but I know there's more to him than meets the eye..." Bloom murmured to herself.
"Despite his rough exterior...he really does care about people...even if he doesn't like to show it..." the faerie continued her thoughts out loud. Surely Chris was also a good and kind man deep down. At least Bloom wanted to think that. That there was good in everyone. Even when the Wizards Of The Black Circle asked for their protection from Morgana's vegence faeries hell-bent on revenge she believed that they could change just as Nebula had. Didn't everyone deserve a chance? The faerie paused as her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door slowly prying itself open before Chris Goldenwater emerged from the other side.
"My apologies for stepping out a moment. The guests were quite concerned about a disturbance said to be occurring in the garden." Chris mused. "A disturbance? Is everything alright?" Bloom asked worriedly. "Yes not to worry. Those that partake in the festivities also tend to indulge in far too much drink." Chris assured the faerie. "Yes, I can imagine so. The drink was very tasty." the redhead admitted with a smile. "I see you're enjoying the evening's breeze." the CEO smiled.
"I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I am..." Bloom blushed slightly. Chris only chuckled. "Now Now there's no need to be embarrassed. No shame in enjoying some time to yourself. But I must say that i'm rather exhausted myself after hosting such an enormous party. What's the saying? Businessmen never rest?" Chris Goldenwater mused.
"But enough about me. How are you feeling my dear?" the CEO questioned with a concerned gaze. "My little brother was quite concerned about you when he suddenly collapsed like that." "Oh was he? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause him to worry..." the faerie apologized before he took a seat next to her on the bed. "Although i'll admit that I was a bit jealous seeing Audric court such a sweetie pie." "Y-You're too kind really..." the redhead murmured as her face reddened shylee. "Oh! But I hope I didn't ruin your presentation that you were working so diligently on! I was looking so forward to the show" Bloom exclaimed.
"Were you now? I regret to inform you the fashion show and the demonstration will have to be placed on hold until a later date. However, if you'd like you're more than welcome to stay the evening. After all, I'd like to get to know you better." "Really? That's so kind of you...almost too gracious an offer..." Bloom admitted taken back. Maybe she should take him up on his offer. "Then i'll gladly accept. Thank you Mr. Goldenwater." "Please call me Chris. So that's a yes then? Wonderful! How does a private dinner with just the two of us sound? the CEO inquired. "Perfect. After all that excitement i've worked up a bit of an appetite." the faerie giggled.
"Great. Then i'll return shortly." Chris offered a brightened smile and departed from the room. Bloom finally let out a sigh of relief. "Alright. I just need a bit more time to ask Chris about Kaiba Corp...dinner should more than suffice...at least I think it will..." the red head murmured out loud before she jumped hearing someone calling out to her in a loud whisper. "BLOOM!...By The Window!" "Huh?" the faerie paused as she looked around before she walked over and gasped once she gazed downward at Audric hanging on the window.
"Audric! W-What are you-never mind!" Bloom studdered and grabbed the lavender haired male's hand helping him inside. "Phew...thanks...I wasn't sure how long I could hold on...even from the second window down that was a hard climb..." Audric huffed. "What are you doing outside the window? This is your house too right? You big silly...you could've used the stairs. Or did you not want to to be seen by all of the guests?" the faerie giggled more than amused. "T-There's no time to explain! You have to get out of here now! Come on! I'll take you back down to the ground!" Audric cried in a loud whisper and held his hand out to her. But Bloom only shook her head in reluctence
"I-I can't..." the redhead murmured with a hesitance in her voice. "Why not?!" Audric questioned as his voice shook. "I can't...not until I know who Chris Goldenwater really is," Bloom told him. "Bloom I beg of you! Please come with me!" the lavender-haired male pleaded for her to heed his advice. "And I SAY no..." the red head once again refused him allowing her stubborn nature to take over. "...Good...or Evil...I must discern this for myself...until then I cannot even consider leaving...i'm sorry...Audric..." Bloom frowned as she clenched her fists at her side. Before Audric could even open his mouth the door began to open. Quickly Audric concealed his presence under the bed before Chris returned to the room closing the door behind him. Quiet Audric watched through the crevice as his older brother had a 5-star gourmet dinner brought inside.
"Wow!" Bloom's face lit up as she noticed the spread out in front of her. "You really spared no expense did you!?" "Of course not! It's not every day I have the pleasure of having one of my guests to dinner!" Chris offered a smile and pulled out her seat for her. "Oh thank you." the faerie smiled in return and sat down before he did afterward. "Now don't be shy! There's no need to be reserved! Eat as much as you'd like!" the CEO told her. "Well, I am quite famished! Thank you for the lovely dinner." Bloom told Chris as they began to eat.
"Is everything to your liking Miss Bloom?" Chris Goldenwater questioned. "It's absolutely delicious!" the faerie exclaimed in complete honesty. "Good! That pleases me to no end." "I'm so glad. Actually, now that it's just the two of us I was hoping I could ask you something." Bloom asked the CEO. "By all means ask away!" Chris told the redhead as she smiled.
"I heard quite a few rumors are floating around about CW industries trying to buy Kaiba Corp," Bloom told Chris. "Ah yes, that IS the hot topic in Domino City isn't it?" "Yes, it is. In fact, quite a bit of commotion seems to have arisen from such talk." the faerie continued. "So, you wish to know if there's any truth to those rumors?" the CEO questioned. "Well...Is it that obvious?" the redhead asked as she blinked a few times. Chris Goldenwater only chuckled.
"Yes, it's written all over that pretty face of yours." Chris teased. "You seem to be quite the curious kitten. You know I admire that in a young lady such as yourself. But I am curious as to why it peaks your interest so." he confessed. Uh oh. Bloom had to think of an excuse quick before she recalled some of the books she had read about involving business to familiarize herself with Kaiba's work as a CEO. Good thing she had too!
"B-Because...although I don't personally invest... my father holds stock currently in Kaiba Corp." Bloom lied. "Ah, I see! So, in short, you're troubled about the market with this new turn of events yes?" "Yes, I am greatly...I care about my father very much and he's not getting any younger...he could lose his retirement..." "I see..." Chris Goldenwater frowned sympathetically. "Though it's nothing against your father I don't understand as to why someone would invest so much into a passing fad..." the CEO pointed out.
"After all Duel Monsters are indeed the hottest trend and game here in Domino City, but as with all things, it must evolve an expand to survive. In fact, I have a new project i've been working on to take Duel Monsters to an entirely whole new level." Chris told the faerie. "Amazing! But how can you hope to even compete with Kaiba Corp's virtual reality system and sensors as an add-on?" Bloom questioned now intrigued. Chris only chuckled.
"Sorry love, but that secret stays with me. As for your father, there's no need to be too concerned. Once I acquire Kaiba Corp your father will also profit from the merger as will the other current shareholders of Kaiba Corp." the CEO explained. "I see...but with all due respect...I find it hard to believe that Kaiba would just hand over his company." Bloom confessed. "Not at all! In fact, we'd be joint owners and partners. CW would own both companies but Seto Kaiba would still attend the board meetings and have the final say in anything pertaining to his company." Chris Goldenwater assured her.
Though he said that, Bloom was ominously reminded of her mother's flower shop and the two Mr. Bonners that set fire to it promising the same thing. Still, she can't allow her emotions to show themselves in front of Chris. "If that is truly the case then I am glad from the bottom of my heart." Bloom flashed a sweet smile. "I am sure my father will be happy as well. Now if you'll excuse me i'm going to step out for a sec-" the faerie paused as she stood up and felt a spell of vertigo wash over her.
"...I feel...strange...and my body...is so...heavy..." Bloom shuddered before she tripped over her feet and fell onto the bed nearby. "Oh dear are you alright?" Chris's voice echoed in her ear. "N-No...I feel...very unwell..." what was going on? She hadn't transformed. So why did she feel all her strength leaving her? "...Someone...anyone...please...help..." the faerie pleaded as everything slowly went black.
Back at Kaiba Corp...
Both Mokuba and Kaiba huffed as they felt the oxygen getting thinner. Why hadn't anyone fixed the power yet? "...Do...Do you think they'll figure...out what's wrong...Seto...?" Mokuba questioned out of breath. "I wouldn't hold your breath...those buffoons couldn't find their way out of a paper bag..." Kaiba muttered even though that was a poor choice of words. Kaiba kicked the top open and looked upwards towards the wire. "...If I cut that...then use my anti-gravity bracelet...we might be able to get down to the ground floor without becoming a permanent part of the pavement...but what can I use to cut it...without electrocuting myself and Mokuba..." the CEO thought to himself out loud before he noticed the blue heart pendant around his neck began to illuminate.
"...Someone...anyone...please...help..." Kaiba heard Bloom's voice calling out from beyond the darkness. "BLOOM!" Kaiba cried out as he swore he could see her right in front of him but she was out of his reach. Suddenly the CEO paused feeling this power swelling inside of him. Gradually a tattoo began to manifest on Kaiba's skin a dragon-like light leaving his body causing him to rendered unconscious as well. "SETO!" Mokuba cried as he caught his big brother. "SETO! SETO! WAKE UP! SETO!" Mokuba cried panicked as tears brimmed in his eyes shaking Kaiba whom lay limp and motionless in his younger brother's arms.
RATE AND REVIEW! And maybe i'll write another chapter ;D
