Ladies and gentlemen!

Thank you so much for your patients and the supports that you have given me during my absent. I hope that this chapter will give you an exciting feel because the next two or three chapters will be the last. Phew! So, please, enjoy this while it last because this book will soon be complete.

Thank you. *bowing*

Note: If you're confused about the ages between Heba and Yugi; Yugi is currently 20 years old, while Heba is 23 years old. Heba was separated by his brother at the age of 6 when Gozaburo had hired a kidnapper to kidnapped Yugi on his 3rd birthday. The plan was originally for Yugi's kidnapping, not Heba's, but the plan was almost a success anyway. Seeing that Gozaburo decided to use Heba for future purposes and took care of him until now. This happens 17 years ago, so the moment that is going to take place in this chapter is important to them. Of course, their memories of each other were forgotten over time but finally resurface.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll hear you all, later~

"You know, the next time I attend to one of Seto's party; I'm going to recommend that we get a 'smaller' party for a change."

"If Seto agreed to your recommendation and the invitation goes to me later on; I might say yes."

"Ha! Thanks."

"No problem."

The corner of Yami's mouth twitch to a smile as they both quickly made their way downstairs to get to the elevator that Seto had told them about. Most of the stairs are already collapsing, but not as much of a problem for both of them to jump over. Not only that but they, finally, were about to locate another door before opening it; just when a whole pile of rocks fell above them. Yugi and Yami sprawled to the ground to regain their breathing. Feeling both relieved and exhausted from running up and down three flight of stairs in one day.

"D-Damn, this is too much for me."

"You can say that again."

Yugi, having to regain his breathing, stood up before surveying the room that they are currently trapped in. The room is pitch black. It took him a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness before he found a speck of light that is coming out from behind the corner, he believed, to be crimson curtains. Yugi narrowed his eyes before making his way towards it, grabbed the silky fabric before opening them to let the moonlight come in.

'Has it really been that long?', Yugi thought as he stared up at the moon that is bathing him with nothing but both sincere light against the shadows that are around him. Yami made his way towards him, his footprint tap softly against the marble floor before taking in the view from the high windows in front of them.

"It seems like were on the 38th floor."

"Is there an elevator around here?"

"Yeah."

"Let's check it out to see if it still works."

With that, they both made their way to the elevator, before pushing the button.

"Shit! The power is off."

"What are we going to do then?"

Yugi clenched his fist in irritation, before feeling a warmth on his hand. Finding, obviously, Yami the person who is trying to make most of the comfort in this situation Yugi sigh and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure that we will find some other way to get out of this mess."

"Yeah."

Yugi took Yami's hand in his before leading them back to the center of the room. He took them to where the moonlight is as he finally made details of the room that it contains. Based on the tables, chairs, the stage, and a bar that has a whole set of drinks and alcohols that are neatly stake in order; it's the gathering room. Yugi lead Yami to the bar, which is right next to the open curtain that was drawn away earlier by Yugi, and told Yami to sit as he left to find a flashlight. No comment needed, Yami agreed before watching Yugi disappear in the corner of the darkness. While waiting, Yami took his time to admire the view from the window outside. He later found out that the location of this room is directly across from another building that belongs to Seto's as well. It was a hotel that he often visit to get some alone time.

'Wasn't there a pool on top of that building?'

Finding the question unconcern, he turned around to stare at the endless bottles above him, before noticing some kind of red light glowing behind one of the bottles. Curious, he used the chair as a support as he bend his knee on the table before grabbing the bottle and move it. What he saw made him gasped in horror as the numbers in front of him continue to tick away and the seconds continue to past.

Meanwhile:

"Damn it all! Where the hell is that helicopter that was supposed to pick us up!?"

"Calm down. I'm sure that it'll be here soon."

Heba glared at the sky hatefully, before taking Seto's advice and began breathing in and out steadily. Having to close his eyes, before opening them. A hint of anger and irritation is still there, but not as much at his outburst from before. Guzaburo is still unconscious on the ground as Seto made his way towards Heba.

"Do you think....that they are alright?", Heba whispered.

"I'm not one to predict the future, but based on your brother and my cousin's stubbornness; I think they'll be fine."

Heba sighs, before he asked, "What was my brother like?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well...you see...."

Heba began to feel nervous but was still able to reply, "I never knew that I had a brother."

Admitted, Seto stayed silent for Heba to continue.

"It goes like this."

Flashback:

Heba was making his way towards the secret elevator that was hidden inside his room. Once he entered and the elevator took him underground, he continues on his way. Not noticing that someone was following him until the the feeling of someone watching stopped him in his tracks. He turned around cautiously to the empty hallway, eyes with suspicious, before continuing on. He made a turn to his left before he pressed his back against the wall, gun in hand as he waited patiently. There, his suspicion confirmed, he saw a shadow making its way towards him before he caught off the intruder's guard before he, in less than 3 seconds, had his gun at the center the man's head. The man before him 'yelp!' in shock and fear (embarrassment if I may add) as he fell on his bottom and stare that the gun that will kill him instantly.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm looking someone that your friends had held capture."

Heba groan before making the decision to put away his gun at the back of his pant before continue on. Seeing that Heba did not kill him on the spot, Yami took that as a good sign before following him.

"Why are you following me?"

"I told you. I'm looking for someone, and that someone is Yugi."

"Well, the direction that I am going is not where Yugi is."

"Do you know where he is then?"

Heba shrugged before he replied, "My only guess is the basement that we will pass soon."

"Thanks."

"However. You would need the key to unlocking that metal door if you're going to free your friend."

"Let me guess. You know where it is?"

Heba smirked and nodded as Yami continue to follow him. Pasting a metal door and into another room, which contains a whole ton of armed weapons and computers system inside. Including a large TV screen that has a keyboard right next to it. Turning it on, Heba began typing away as files after files began to appear in every corner of the screen.

"The key should be in that cabinet on your left. The password is 48922676."

"Okay."

Yami made his way towards the cabinet that was, indeed, on his left and was not surprised to find a keypad that is attached to the door. Reciting the password in his head, he pressed the numbers, before it 'ding' in acceptance, before Yami opened it to find whole sets of keys.

"Oi! Which one!"

"The silver one!"

Yami looked around a bit, before spotting the only silver key at the very end of the third row. Taking it, he made his way towards Heba to find that Heba is reading some kind of article.

"What's that?"

Heba didn't bother replying back. He continued to read further until he reaches the part that he was looking for.

July 4 ****

Late in the evening, there was a horrible incident from within the Mutou resident that was later found out afterward that an unexpected break in had occurred during which the mother, Shin Mutou, and her husband, Kai Mutou was having a birthday celebration for their 3-year-old son, Yugi Mutou, along with his older brother. The brother was with the child in the nursery room, playing, until a man that was covered in dark clothing broke the windows of the Mutou's home and stole the older brother away. We determined that the brother was fighting off this man in order to protect the young one from kidnapped until the parents finally arrived. The room was only half damage, and aspect of blood was seen near the window. We believe that the kidnapper had a grudge against the Mutou for reasons because of the bond they share with the President of both Mrs. Sennon and Mr. Sennon of Sennen Corporation. Which is why the kidnapper had kidnapped the brother within the night. Both the Mutou and the Sennen had begun a search party around the city, including the help of the police until they finally found traces of blood at Domino Bay Port. Including the torn clothes that were washed away in the water. We feared that the man is no ordinary man. Instead, he is also a killer. Until further noticed, the search will continue on until more proof is revealed.

Heba continues on, until he found a picture of the missing boy, and was shocked to find a younger version of him that revealed that the missing boy was only 6 years old. He was confused until later found out that Mutou family had a grandfather whose grandfather's grandfather had a gene that affects the slow process of the growth until it reached it stops growth at the age of 10 (run in the family, Heba supposedly thought). He was later devastated by the news of his family that both the Mutous were in a car accident that took their life. It was later revealed to be a murder case after identifying that the brakes were clearly sabotaged. The police suspected that the culprit was the same man that must have kidnapped and, possibly, killed the Mutou's son, so the police advised the rest of the Mutou's family members to hide in secrets.

"So it's true."

Heba looked up to see Yami narrowing his eyes before declaring, "You're that missing child. Aren't you."

It took a moment for Heba to get his bearing before he nodded.

"Yes. Yes, I am."

_____________________________

Yugi waited patiently at the side of the door. The second knock indicated that the person is still right outside. Finally, the sound of the door unlocking made Yugi get ready for an assault.

"Hello?"

Yugi's breath hitch before the person slowly took cautious steps within the room. Finally, having a clear shot, he threw himself to the person and straddle him to the ground.

"OW! Yugi!?"

Yugi froze in shock as he finally took noticed of the familiar star-shaped hair like his own before his eyes took noticed at the person's crimson eyes.

"Yami?"

"Hey."

Yami wince when Yugi kneel his stomach and the fact that Yugi was going to punch him made him fear for future possibilities that might happen sooner or later.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Yugi hissed, before standing up.

"Uhhhh...saving you?"

"Right~"

Yugi wasn't really convinced at the way Yami is giving him a sheepish grin before he heard applauding clap right outside.

"Wow~ Not bad."

Heba calmly made his way inside and stood right in front of him. Yugi gave him a curt nod, before asking, "I presume that he followed you here?"

"Yep! Oh. Hi, Rafael!"

Heba finally took notice of the big guy coming towards him, before he said, "Boss got you too, huh."

"I believe that the bastard must have something to do with your missing memory?"

"Yeah. Luckily, I was able to remember them."

"All of them?"

".....Yeah....all of them."

There was a hint of sadness when he said that before he turns back to look at Yugi dead in the eye.

"Especially a brother that I have not seen for almost  17 years."

The two brothers stared at each other. Both of them feeling overwhelming happiness, sadness, disbelief, and/or relief. If the situation wasn't that bad, they might have cried for each other on the spot.

Yugi was the one who broke the silent as he took over the few steps that are separating from his long-lost brother before he grabbed him into a tight hug.

"I miss you."

"Me too."

The brothers whispered to each other's ear before Yugi declared that once everything is over; he's making sure that Heba does not leave his side ever again.

"Of course."

Yami smiles at the brothers before quickly reminding them that they still have to stop Guzaburo from reaching the company.

"Hey. I have an idea."

Flashback Ended:

_______________________________

"So that how we were able to convince his driver to switch places with me, while Yugi and the rest took the short-cut to your company and warned you about Guzaburo's appearance. Also, Yugi contacted his agencies to go to another one of Guzaburo's secret underground basement in Renda to destroy his files and other secret stuff that he stashed in there."

"Glad that you did. Then? What are you going to do next after all this?"

"What do you think?"

Heba smirked at Seto.

"I finally found the one person that has been apart from me for so long. So I'm not going to disappear on him. Not now. Not ever."
