Chapter Three - Isn’t that Seto Kaiba?

“Hey, Seto’s gone!” Cried Ren as she ran out of the room Seto was previously staying in. She ran down the hall until she turned a corner and ran into...

“Noah! Noah, I have bad news! Seto’s gone! I can’t find him anywhere and –

Suddenly Noah, unlike anything she had ever seen him do, grabbed her and held her close. Ren hesitated but then Noah began to speak.

“Ren, why is it always about Seto? Forget him and let’s just live a happy life together.”

“What? What’s wrong with you Noah? Are you feeling alright?” Ren said as she looked at him. She could sense something in his eyes, a secret perhaps, but she was absolutely sure of what it was. “Noah? Do you know where Seto is?”

“Who? I don’t know who your talking about.” Noah said as he gave a half grin. “But if you mean the CEO of Kaiba Corp then your looking at him right now.”

“Wh..What do you mean Noah?” Ren said as Noah began to laugh evilly. “What have you done to Seto?”

“Hmp, what have I done?” Noah said aloud. “I haven’t done anything. Except buy back my company!”

“What!? What do you mean your company?” Ren asked with a confused voice. “I thought Seto founded Kaiba Corp?”

“No my love. It’s actually quite the contrary.” Noah turned away from Ren as he looked down at the floor. “My father Gozaburo Kaiba was a wealthy man who owned a wealth company. And do you know what the companies name was?! Kaiba Corp!! My father was head of Kaiba Corp and I would have been to except for the accident I had. I tried to defeat Seto and my rightful place as CEO, but I must of failed because even though I don’t remember it, I don’t think I was living in the Kaiba Mansion before this! So now that I’ve come back I’ve bought back the company I once had name to and I will show the world what a true to the Kaiba name can do!”

“What has gotten into you Noah? Before you were sweet, nice, and funny. You were never like this!”

“Maybe I just saw the light.”
“Or the dark. Noah this isn’t like you at all. Why did you take Seto’s company. Your already going to have control of Narrow Tech.”

“Oh but I’ve taken much more. You see, I also have Seto’s brother as well. Plus with both companies on my side I will combine them and create the most powerful company this world has ever seen!”

“No Noah! What is wrong with you!” Ren said aloud as she grabbed him by the shirt collar.


“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Noah said as he grabbed Ren’s hand and threw her to the floor. “From now on you shall call me master!”

The same day as the sun shined threw domino city a shadow-less walked through the town with out any thoughts.

“Hey Bob. Isn’t that Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp?” Asked a man in a dark business suit.

“Not since last night. Didn’t you hear. He was bought out by a guy name Noah and then kicked out.” Said Bob who was also wearing a fancy suit as he sat across from his friend, both drinking their coffee.

Seto’s anger began to rage inside him as he looked the two men and turned towards them with cold eyes.

“If I were you two gentlemen I’d take pride in the word gentle-men and stop being so mean as to talk about other people behind there backs! Especially when those certain peoples are right there to hear you!” Seto said aloud scaring the two men. He then headed in the other direction.

“How dare people talk about how I lost Kaiba Corp to that little punk Noah, if it weren’t for my condition I’d still have control over my company right now.” Seto thought to himself. “But still. If I want to prove myself a worthy CEO to that hack Noah I’ll have to find a way to beat his strategy and claim my company back. That is, of course, once I’ve gotten rid of this virus, and made sure Mokuba is out of harms way. Hmm. It’s gonna take a lot of work, and a lot of thinking, but I promise I’ll get back Kaiba Corp!”

Ren handed a plate with a sandwich on it to Noah as he sat in his chair at a large computer on one of Kaiba Corp’s floors.

“Thank you very much Ren.” Noah said as he waved her off, sending Ren back to her room. Her current position, a servant to Noah, not to mention his wife to be.

“I’ve got to find Seto and get him back so he take back Kaiba Corp.” Ren thought to herself as she exited Noah’s lab. “I’ll have to make my way out as soon as possible, and make sure none of Noah’s goons catch me.”
Ren, having almost no time to grab anything at all, grabbed the things she knew she’d need the most. Her duel disk, Seto’s duel disk, her deck, and his deck.

Having her duel disk and her deck on her arm, and Seto’s things in a brown bag on her back, Ren ran out of Kaiba Corp hoping she had not been detected.

“So, you’ve decided to run away from me.” Noah said as he looked up at his surveillance system on his computer. “Well we’ll just see how far you’ll get before my men capture you.”

Ren ran through the town of domino, after seeing some of Noah’s goons, and quickly headed for the nearest ally way to hide from them, which in a certain sense is a very stupid thing to do.

Ren ran down the dark ally to the other end where it was brighter.

“I think I lost them.” Said Ren as she breath heavily. But a sudden loud noise from the other end of the ally caught her attention as a tall goon came after Ren. She began running farther down the ally ways and turned the corner, finding a small space to wedge herself in until the goon was gone.

The goon soon left ally way and Ren walked out of her hiding spot. “Man Noah’s good.” Ren said as she leaned against the wall. Suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed her by the arm. Ren anticipated to scream, but before she could another hand was place over her mouth. “Oh no, what do I do now? What will Noah think of me running away?” Ren was sure one of Noah’s goons had caught her.

“Ren!” Said a familiar voice in the darkness. “It’s me, Seto!”

“Seto?” Ren blinked as she focused her eyes on the dark figure before her before wrapping her arms around him. “Oh Seto.” Ren said as tears began to stream down her eyes. “I thought I’d never see you.”

Seto only stroked her hair as he allowed her to hold him as she cried in his arms.

“When Noah said he had taken over your company, and then your brother–

Ren began to break down again. “I’m just glad your okay.”

“Hmm, I didn’t think you cared so much.” Seto said softly.

“Huh? Why wouldn’t I?” Ren asked as she looked up at him. His eyes suddenly softened as he smiled. Ren wiped her tears and let go of Seto, opening up her brown bag and taking out Seto’s stuff just after.

“What’s this?” Seto asked as he grabbed his duel disk and deck. “You brought my deck and my duel disk for me?”

“Yeah, I figured they’d be safe with you since you have your Blue-Eyes in your deck.”
“Good thinking.” Seto said as he put the duel disk on his left arm.

“So why did you leave anyways?” Ren asked curiously.

“Like I had a choice.” Seto said arrogantly.

“What exactly –

“Hey over there! I think I see her!” Ren’s heart quickened as she heard the voice of one of Noah’s goons.

“Quick!” Seto said as he grabbed a hold of Ren’s arm.“This way!”

The ran down the ally and up a ladder to the top of buildings where they ran across and tried to outrun the goons that followed them.

“Hurry!” Seto yelled to Ren who was just a ways behind him. Suddenly Seto hit a stopping point and just about fell off the building they were running on. “Just great!”

“Oh no!” Ren said with worry in her voice. The goons were getting closer and she wasn’t about to jump.

“Ren, I need you to go down this wall somehow. I’ll distract these freaks and let you get a running start.”

Ren obeyed and tried to find a way down the wall. The fact was there wasn’t any way to get down off the wall. But she knew if Seto had to he’d come up with a plan to get down the wall. That’s it! Ren quickly ran to one side of the building and seeing large, wooden boxes stacked up she knew the only thing she need now was a way to get from the roof that was a few feet away from the boxes to the ground below. So thinking quickly she took her brown bag, latched it onto a loose nail, and slid off the roof to the boxes where she climbed down and on to the ground.

“Hey! Isn’t that Seto Kaiba?” Asked one of the goons.

“Yeah, but we have to obey Noah’s orders and capture Ren, we can’t be missing with him right now.” Said another as he tried to get passed Seto.

“Heh, like I’m giving you a choice.” Seto said with anger in his eyes. “No one gets passed me. So if you want to capture Ren you’ll have to go through me first.”

“He he, taking you apart will be fun.” Said a dark buff goon as he popped his knuckles.

Seto knew he would be able to take on all three of Noah’s goons, but had an plan he thought might work.
Seto ran to the right of the three goons and acted as though he was going to attack one of them. He then behind then and then back in front so they couldn’t escape and capture Ren. As he did all this his feet hit the building roof with great force and it began to waver a bit.

Ren looked up at the courageousness of Seto as he kept them a top the roof as long as he could. But what exactly was he scheming?

“What was that? You didn’t even do anything.” Said the dark buff goon with a laugh. “Now let me show you what real fighting is all about.”

He attempted to aim at Seto, but a sudden cracking noise was heard just before the middle of the room gave way pulling down all three goons.

“Heh, see ya.” Seto said as he smirked. But the part of the roof he was standing on suddenly began to break as well and just before Ren could call out to him Seto fell.

“Seto, Seto wake up!” Ren called out as she shook Seto. He lay motionless on the ground. Suddenly he moved slightly and then opened his eyes.

“Ren, what are you still doing here?” Seto asked weekly. “You were suppose to have run away by now.”

“In the condition you in? You could have been killed Seto.” Ren said with concern, but Seto’s eyes suddenly began to close as he fell into a deep sleep. Ren had no other choice, but to take him to a hotel room where Seto could sleep and hopefully wake up from the exhaustion of the battle.

“He he he.” A voice laughed in the foggy mist. It was dark and Seto could hardly see. Suddenly red eyes, the two same red eyes appeared through the mist and scared Seto half to death.

“Noah?” Seto cried out.

The figure laughed evilly as it revealed itself. “Yes Seto, it’s me Noah. And I have a very interesting future in store for you and Ren. You see I’ve been observing you two and I know what your hiding, you may not think I know, but I do. I know you love Ren.”

“What!?”

“And I have a very special punishment in store for her. For you see I feel it’s only fair she know what it feels like to be locked in a virtual world. And since you’ve already had that privilege I think it’s only fair I give you a different treatment.”

“What do you mean?” Seto asked as Noah began to fade away.

“You see soon enough Seto!” Noah said as he completely vanished and was engulfed in a shroud of flames, leaving Seto to be engulfed in them as well.

“Seto, are you alright?” Ren called out. Seto opened his eyes.

“It was only a dream.” He thought to himself. “But it seemed so real.”

“Ren, has Noah said anything about building virtual pods?” Asked Seto as he sat up in the hotel bed.

“No. Why?” Ren looked at him confused. He seemed to be pondering something, but what?

“I had a dream, and I think Noah’s up to something.” Seto said aloud. He got out of the bed and put on his purple jacket.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay walking?”

“I’m fine. But I need to head to my lab back at my mansion to pick up my laptop.” He placed the duel disk Ren had taken off of him back on to his left arm.

“Okay, but while your going there I should go back to Kaiba Corp and see what Noah’s planning.”

“What!? I don’t think so, it’s to dangerous!” Seto said aloud.

“Seto, don’t be so worried.” Ren said with a laugh as she headed towards the door. Seto stood in front of her and stopped Ren in her tracks.

“I want you to stay here.” Seto said firmly as he walked forward, pushing Ren back.

“But why?” Ren asked weakly.

Seto sat down on the couch in the hotel room and looked down at the floor in a dazed manner. “The dream I had.... it involved you.”

Ren looked at Seto as she gasped with surprise. She walked to the couch and sat down beside him.

“What do you mean I was in the dream?” Seto didn’t look at her. “Seto, what happened in the dream?”

“Noah said he knew about us...” Seto started and then looked up at Ren. “I think he plans to lock you away in a virtual world.”

“A what? You mean those simulation games you make in your lab?”

“Yes, and if my suspicion are correct he may be planning something with the virtual world pods like he did some time ago.” Seto said as he rubbed his head.

“And why would Noah place me in the virtual world?” Ren asked softly, trying not to disturb Seto in his thoughts.

“Because he knows how you and I feel.” Seto blurted out. He quickly turned away and Ren began to blush. “I can’t hide it any longer. You know how I feel about you Ren.”

Ren leaned against Seto and sighed. “You may not know this Seto, but I still have feelings for you too. Nothings changed between us. With Noah acting this way I just didn’t know who to turn to. The only person was you Seto, you were the only one I could trust.”

“Then you understand that you need to stay here.” Seto said as he got up from the couch.

“But Seto what about –

“No! Your staying here and that’s final.” Seto said as he turned for he door, but suddenly, once again, something caught his foot and sent him tumbling to the floor. It was Ren. “What is up with everybody tripping me?” Seto asked as he rolled over to face Ren just before getting off of the ground, but not with much success because just as soon as Ren had knocked him down she was now in his face on top of him.

“Seto,” She started as she looked sternly into his eyes. “I want to go back!”

“No Ren, I already told you it’s to dangerous over there!” Seto said as he tried to get up, knocking Ren off balance and causing her to fall onto him.

Ren blushed as she got up and looked at Seto with her blue eyes. “I have to for Mokuba.” She said meekly. “He’s at Kaiba Corp and someone has to take care of him.” Seto looked at her and saw she really wanted to go back to Kaiba Corp, no matter what the cost. But he also saw a very determined girl who he didn’t want to lose.

Seto sat up, helping Ren balance herself and smiled warmly at her. In fact he even felt a strong urge to kiss her, but before he could Ren gave him a hug and a thank you. Promising to take care of Mokuba when she got back to Kaiba Corp.
