Destined to be Yours

Chapter 30: Legendary Heroes Part 1

Akia yawned and stretched her arms right after the teacher left the room.

"You never change..." Yugi told his sister.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Akia replied.

"Did you even listen to anything the teacher said?" Her brother asked her.

"I did, in fact. He said "Good morning, class" then I kind of zoned out."

Yugi sighed at his sister's nonchalant behaviour. He then directed his attention at the two empty seats in the class. "Kaiba and Bakura haven't been in class since Duelist Kingdom..."

"Kaiba's probably busy with his big shot company to care about school." Jounouchi talked in a mocking way. He always did that when mentioning Kaiba.

"I guess for Kaiba it is normal, but not for Ryou..." Akia said. She couldn't reach him ever since he left them after arriving at Domino Pier. The girl was getting a little worried about him.

After classes were over, Yugi and Akia went back home along with their friends Anzu, Jounouchi, and Honda. The five friends planned to spend their afternoon together like many times before.

While watching a rerun of the Duelist Kingdom Finals, Sugoroku came in a hurry, with Mokuba drenched in rain shivering beside him. "Yugi, I think something's wrong." He told his grandson.

"Mokuba!" Yugi exclaimed.

Akia hurried and got a dry towel to give Mokuba. Anzu went to the kitchen and made him some hot milk tea.

"Thank you..." Mokuba expressed his gratitude.

"What happened, Mokuba? Why are are you all drenched from the rain?" Akia asked him.

"Yeah, aren't you rich enough to be driven in a car?" This time Jounouchi's voice was more filled with curiosity than mocking.

"I need your help... My brother's in big trouble!" Mokuba pleaded.

"Trouble? What do you mean?" Akia inquired.

Mokuba then started explaining what had happened, "when we got back to the company, big brother started investigating his employees to find out who his traitors were."

"Traitors?" Anzu asked.

"There are people from Kaiba Corp who joined Pegasus and helped him take the company away from my big brother." Everyone listened intently to what Mokuba was saying. "It didn't take him long before he found out the traitors behind all of this. When he did, however, they begged for his forgiveness. He didn't buy it. They then changed the subject and told him that they completed his virtual game based on Duel Monsters in hopes of gaining his forgiveness. Since big brother had been working long and hard on that game system, he took them up on their offer and went to try the game out, swearing to deal with them later, depending on how the game turned out. The problem is that this was all actually a trap set by them to trap my big brother in his own game! When I found that out, they tried to take me and lock me up, but I managed to escape. I didn't know who else to turn to but Yugi... That's why I'm here. I need your help to save my big brother."

At the mention of a new video game system, Jounouchi's eyes lit up. "Let's go and play the-... I mean, let's hurry and get Kaiba!"

Anzu and Akia gave him an exasperated look.

"You're right; we have to go there and save Kaiba." Yugi agreed with his friend.

Without losing any more time, Yugi and the rest followed Mokuba to Kaiba Corps. Arriving there, Mokuba made used a back entrance that was only known to him and his brother. He had to make sure that they weren't spotted by the five traitors and their henchmen. They then reached a room that Mokuba quietly opened. Everyone went in and started looking around, impressed by the technology.
