Project Shadow
Yami paused at the top of the stairs on the twenty-ninth floor to catch his breath. Sighing, he knew that there were eighty-two floors in the entire building.
/Take the elevator./
Yami glanced at the silvery doors nearby.
//Too dangerous.//
/Less dangerous than taking on Kaiba with no energy!/
//I suppose...//
Yami pressed the green button by the doors. There was a whirring sound, seeming very loud in the silence. Yami ducked to the side as the doors opened, checking there was no-one inside. Seeing that it was empty, he stepped cautiously inside.
Reaching up, he pressed the button for the top floor, and the doors closed. He took this time to check on Yuugi.
The small boy appeared, sitting on the ground by Yami's feet. "Are you alright, koibito?" he asked. "Hai, Yami-chan. It hurts though." Yuugi replied. The blood was still flowing quite freely from the gunshot wound, and only beginning to heal a tiny bit. "I know, Yuugi. However, if it doesn't heal over, it will be easier to remove the bullet later." Yami glanced up at the glowing numbers over the door. They were nearing eighty- two.
The doors quietly slid open.

"Hear that?" Ryou asked. The group fell silent. The sound of the elevator whirring could be heard distantly above them. Bakura nodded. "I'd guess it sounds like it's on the top floor, which can only mean..." "That Yami and Yuugi took the elevator." Malik finished.
Ryou raced towards the nearest set of doors. "We'll have to take it to catch up." he said, pressing the green button by the doors. The four of them waited in silence for the doors to slide open.
When they did, the group hurried in, Marik as the tallest pressing the topmost button.

Yami looked down the hall before them, surprised. "But... but... there's nothing here! No security!" he said, holding Yuugi up. He jumped, as he heard the elevator descend behind them. "Yami, be careful. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there." Yuugi warned, before disappearing back into the Puzzle.
Yami studied the space before him. It was a reasonably short hallway, with a red carpet. Much of the wall on his left hand side was windows. Opposite him was a dark brown, wooden door, with a plaque on it, reading 'Kaiba Seto, CEO.' His eyes widened as he heard the elevator ascending towards this floor. He quickly ducked to the side of the door, long blades appearing, and ready to attack when the doors slid open...

"Nothing..." Bakura said quietly, looking out of the doors. "They can't be here yet; there's nothing..." He took a step out into the hall.
"Bakura..." a voice said just behind him. He span around quickly, startled, until he saw the Oni standing there. "Yami, do you mind not scaring the crap out of me!?" Bakura half-yelled. "Where's Yuugi?" Ryou asked quickly. Yami looked at him calmly. "He was injured downstairs. He's in the Puzzle." he answered with an even tone. "Now, can you tell me what security there is here?"
"Absolutely none..." Ryou answered after using his miniature computer to hack into the Kaiba Corp. systems. "Except that which is proceeding quickly in this direction after finding those corpses downstairs." "You really need to learn to clean up."
"Then you hold them off while I get to Kaiba." Yami walked down the hall, leaving the four other agents to deal with security.
Not surprisingly, the door was locked. Yami slashed his way through the door, emerging into a dark office. He heard the sounds of a fight beginning behind them, and looked around the office. A laptop rested on the desk, it's screen glowing eerily.
The office grew lighter, as another door opened. "I see you came back, Oni." Kaiba Seto said. Yami growled. "Only to stop you. You think this is fun?" He held up his arms, adorned with the evil looking blades.
Kaiba shook his head, and sat down. "Look, Yami, we're both under unfavourable circumstances..." he began. "UNFAVOURABLE?!" Yami screeched. "You mean to say, that being transformed into some kind of demon-freak is UNFAVOURABLE?!" I can think of better words."
"Maybe one day you will understand! But LISTEN." Seto said serenely. "You would do anything for your partner, ne?" Yami nodded. "Well, I have people I do things for; I'm not the highest in this chain of command. Maybe you will help me one day. I didn't order you to be changed into this; and if I reveal the secret, someone I care about will be in jeopardy. So, kill me now, like your Oni instincts tell you, or leave me to live. Your choice."
Yami frowned, confused. He listened to the fight behind him; yells, gunshots, the thud of falling bodies. "Order your men away from my agents. I won't harm you this time." Seto nodded, pressing a button on his laptop. Somehow, this told the men to stop, and they backed away.
"You are also to give your word that you will never subject another human soul to this." Yami ordered, Seto complying with another nod.
"Project Shadow are always nearby, should you need us." Yami turned and left. Seto looked out over the city. "And I shall need you."

Pan: That was SO bad... I tell you what though, I'm going to make a sequel, 'coz this is just a crap ending, but I can't add anything onto this fic. The sequel will be called 'Project Duo' and I'll upload it sooner or later. Thank you!
