Chapter 31: Seto Kaiba's Fun-Filled Mission (Part 2)
DIMENSION: MANGA (The One That Saves The Day)
Shizuka and Honda's Apartment Building
Shizuka was coming back from a short break to get some groceries. So far, nothing had happened. She was doubtful at this point anything would, but she didn't want to admit it. However? ///Shizuka: No. Don't start that./// Her vision. For years her vision had been so good, why was it now starting to mess up?
She'd noticed it sometimes. Shizuka was never half as strong as she portrayed to her brother or Honda. She held onto the groceries. ///Shizuka: Just get to the door. Don't trip. You'll be fine. It's not like you telling anyone could reverse-///
She felt herself trip on the carpet. She didn't even know what she tripped over. She felt around for her groceries that fell, but now? She was starting to lose it. ///Shizuka: Great. An orange. I found one of my oranges. I'm losing my vision all over again, it's going to destroy Katsuya's heart, ruin my entire life, but I got myself an orange.///
Then, she heard someone coming behind her. Her thoughts became paranoid. Now would be the perfect time for someone to strike. She felt an arm wrap around her. Not in a full pick me up someone who wanted to abduct her would use. She was standing, leaning against someone. He started to move and she moved along with him.
He stopped her. "Open the door."
That voice, it was almost familiar. She felt her purse being placed in her arms. She opened it and fished around for her keys. When she found them, she inserted them into the door. She felt herself being helped inside. ///Shizuka: I should say thank you. I just. I hate this right now.///
Left on her chair, she was surprised not to hear anymore sounds, like the kind stranger returning to get her groceries. He had carried her to her room but didn't do that. He also hadn't said anything. She also didn't hear the door close?
She also heard rustling through drawers in the room. ///Shizuka: Oh no, who did I just let in?/// "Who are you?"
"Not your brother's best friend, that's for damn sure."

Seto Kaiba set his briefcase down. Pharaoh owed him so much for this. It was worth it though if it finally got him back where he belonged. He started to look through the doors, trying to find pictures. Pictures. Why? It was his fun-filled fucking mission. The one thing in the world that he could do that no one else could.
Be Pharaoh's lap dog! It was almost degrading, but at least no one knew he was there. Just Jounouchi's sister in the hallway. Falling down. Boy, it was not a good time for those bunch of losers right now.
Ah, he found some. Hanging on the wall. Of course, that's where regular idiots hang their family portraits all over the place. Let's see. He wanted current pictures of everyone Yuugi used to hang out with, as well as some specific names of people he just knew. He also wanted stupid current information on them, anything noteworthy.
Bullshit. Hm. Mokuba's current info looked right. Honda was living with Jounouchi's sister. ///Seto: Ah, Jounouchi, I bet this picture isn't that current.//// Honda and Jounouchi hugging on the side. ///Seto: There's no way a beginner better squash you or I will personally ride your ass into the ground forever. And I guess, Honda would be riding your sister forever. Heh. Your life is hell. That always makes me feel better.///
He tucked the picture away. Not the most current but he was going for what he could.
Strange though. You'd think Jounouchi's sister would be asking for more information, she was just letting him rile through everything. Whatever.
He went into another corner, checking more useless junk. He moved to the bedrooms. Not really much. He went back to the front door.
And got out of the way of a bullet? "The hell?! So Honda's just as much trouble as your brother." He hung by the door. Oh so great, how did he end up in that situation? He stayed close by the door and waited for the person coming. Way too fast and sloppy. Hired thug. Easy.
He rammed them with his briefcase and took their gun. "At least I didn't have to damage a card. You're not worth it." Not in the least, just an unconscious body. He could hear more footsteps though. He looked back toward Shizuka Kawai, Jounouchi's sister. "Fuck my life." He went over and activated the security system. There wasn't a system on Earth the likes of him couldn't activate. He got the door secured and got on his phone. This would be awkward. "Mokuba, send a fleet of men to inspect the address of Jounouchi's sister."
"Seto?" His voice sounded weak. "Seto, you're back again? I wish you'd let me know when you come back. I'll send a fleet of guys over there right away. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Probably just a mess of bad mistakes. See if you can hack into this system too." His brother had skill almost as good as him. He'd rather not be stuck behind the security, but there was an unarmed and vision impaired woman in that room where people seemed to want to shoot. "Did you find it?"
"Oh yeah, it's a weak system. I mean it's weak for us, but strong against most regular burglars. Shouldn't take very long to get it."
"Great. Open the door, let me out, and then reseal it," Kaiba dictated.
"Are you going to come see me, Seto? I've missed you, Big Brother. It's been six months since you've even called again."
"Yeah, I will," Seto promised. "First, I've got to do some tasks. See you soon, Little Brother."
"Thank you."
Seto looked over by the chair he put the woman in.
"You're going to tell someone, aren't you?" She asked.
"Jounouchi and his family aren't my concern. I was only here for something specific." Hmph. Still. "If your vision is going, you shouldn't be walking around like the world is full of fucking roses. You would have got your ass killed over nothing but a lazy extension cord that shouldn't have been out."
Jounouchi's sister just stared ahead. "He did everything he could . . . I don't know how to . . . there's nothing left."
Ah, there was the security system deactivated. "Get a cane. Get a dog. Face the facts then fucking adapt to life or it will kill you." He left the room, closed the door and got back on the phone. "Mokuba, seal it now." He heard the security turn back on.
Great. Some information. Yuugi wasn't at his house, his number was different now, and Jounouchi's wasn't a place he wanted to dick around with if he could help it. "Mokuba. Where the hell is Yuugi Mutoh right now?"
