Kaiba sat up on the bed. Mokuba was sitting on the edge of the bed. He scanned the room. Everyone was there except on person. "Where is Angela? What happened to her?" Seto asked.
"We're not sure. She wasn't here when we came back from eatting. The only person besides you was," Mokkuba started. He turned to look his shoulder at Melissa. She was sitting in a chair in the corner.
"You. What happened to Angela?" Seto almost demanded moving to sit up further.
"Nothing out of the ordinary. In fact she is waiting for you. She has something to ask you," Melissa teased. She stood up. Melissa almost leaped onto the bed. "But more interesting to me what did you see while you were under the chemicals influences? What did it look like? Did you see the Tribunal?" Melissa asked manuevering next to Seto and almost ontop of him.
"I don't know. I hardly saw anything," Seto uncomfortable said. He started to try and move anyway from Melissa. But she kept right next to him. Seto felt as if he jumped out of his skin when she put her hand on his chest.
"Come on you must have seen something. You are the first person to use the chemicals. I want to know everything," Melissa said as she almost lyed down ontop of Seto.
"Look Kaiba has a new girlfriend," Joey teased.
"Well I better go find Angela than and tell her the news," Tristan teased.
Seto face became very displeased. He moved Melissa off of him. "I don't remember anything and if you aren't going to tell me where Angela is than I suggest that you get off Kaiba corporation property," Seto said finally making it to his feet.
"Melissa please. Tell us where Angela is," Yugi asked.
"Sorry. I couldn't even if I wanted to. Angela didn't tell me and I doubt that the driver to her to where she ended up. But my guess would be that she went somewhere she would be very comfortable," Melissa said. She stood up. "That's all I can offer you. Except for the fact that you only have a few more hours to find her. Otherwise something very bad will happen. That I know for sure," Melissa said. "Now I have to go. Angel Associates has much work that needs to be done," Melissa said. She left the room.
"Well that was helpful. So any ideas?" Joey said.
"Kaiba can you find Angela?" Yugi asked.
Seto did not answer Yugi's question. Infact most thought he did not hear the question. "Seto can you find Angela?" Mokuba asked. He looked at his brother. "I know alot has happened but we need to find her," Mokuba said quietly to his brother. He hold onto Seto's leg.
"All right. I need to go back to the office. I can try to track her down from there," Seto said. The entire group left the hopital. They did not ride together but everyone went to Kaiba's office. Seto was at the head of the group as they walked through Kaiba Corporation. He lead the way to his office. Many thoughts raced through his head the entire time. The past month had been more tring on him than he ever thought possible. And now it was going again. Seto began to wonder about everything he saw and what could possible happen next. He opened the door to office onlly to have the concern inside him be washed away. Mokuba bumped into Seto's back.
"What took you guys so long?" Angela said with a smirk across her face. She was sitting on one of the couches. Her legs were crossed and her right arm was in her lap while her left was on the back on the couch. Seto was almost pushed into the room by the corward behind him. Angela looked surprised. "Wow. I didn't expect a group," Angela said.
Everyone looked up. "Angela!" almost everyone shouted. They all stood up. They tried to go over to the couch where she was sitting but for some reason they could not get close. When they looked at her they noticed something about her seemed different. Her eyes had turned red but somehow it showed in her body. She had changed.
"What is going on Angela?" Yugi asked.
"By the laws of the Angel Associates I am here to make an offer to the elder Kaiba brother. So please sit down Seto Kaiba and hear me out," Angela asked.
Everyone parted ways so Seto cold move forward to see Angela. He sat down on the couch across from Angela. He saw a box on the table between them. "All right. What do you need to say so badly?" Seto asked in what one would almost swore was a playful tone.
"Angel Associates has set a law that upon the day of a pairs meeting a time limit should be begin. If the pair should part ways before the third year is reached than this never need happen. But if the pair reaches their third year than this decision will come to pass. With or without the pairs consent," Angela started.
"What decision?" Joey asked.
"Wait. Hasn't it been three years since we first started seeing those two together?" Tristan asked.
"To the day. That is why is offer had to be made before midnight tonight," Angela interjected.
"Or the decision will be for me. I get it. Now move on. This is getting boring," Seto said.
"Fine the cut and dry of it is that you need to decide wiether or not you want me in your life," Angela shortened.
"What?!" The group almost all shouted. Even Seto was surprised by her bluntness.
"Are you asking Kaiba to marry you?" Joey said recovering first.
Angela chuckled. "Don't be crazy. The question means for any type of relationship. It does not mean soley a romantic one Joey. It asks if he wants to even remember me in the morning," Angela started. Seto snapped out of his shock. Angela opened the box. "He can choose to have everything remain the way it is now. And everything will move forward as it is," Angela said as she put a lily on the table. "Or," Angela started. She held up a small glass vile which looked like a perfume bottle. "He can choose to forget everything about me," Angela said.
"What do you mean everything about you?" Seto asked.
"My face. My hair. My eyes. The magic you've seen and business Angel has done. It will all seem like a dream you had when you were a child. Your memories will be changed to remove any trance of me from your life. Every trace of me will be removed from your home, office, everywhere. You will never have to deal with my magic. Or my war again," Angela said.
"You mean every picture, every gift, everything?" Tea asked.
"Everything that might remind anyone of my presences there," Angela said.
"What do you mean anyone?" Seto asked.
"When you decide you will be deciding for every member of Kaiba corporation and Mokuba," Angela said.
"Me? Why?" Mokuba asked.
"Because the decision is made by the one I interacted with the most. The one who has the most to change. Which is your brother," Angela explained.
"So what are the other terms?" Seto asked. Angela looked at him. "Every contract must have some terms. So what are your's?" Seto asked.
"You must decide within the next twenty fours. Bring either the vile or the lily to the waterside park at that time. If you do not arrive there before this time tomorrow night than automatically the vile will be chosen and your memories will be rewritten. Even if you are one minute later," Angela said. She closed the box. Angela stood up. "I'll leave you to decide," Angela said. She walked through the group. Yugi stepped infront of her. "Yes you will have to make the same decision Yugi. Your date is a different one though. If you decide before hand you may answer any time," Angela said beore she walked out of the office.
"So what are you going to do?" Joey asked.
Seto walked over to his desk. "Come on Kaiba you got to chose something!" Yugi almost shouted.
"What I do is my own business," Seto said.
"Yeah right. Not like you will make the right decision without us anyway," Joey teased. "I mean afterall you suck at this emotional stuff. Might come from not having any. Who knows," Joey said trying to get a rise out of Kaiba.
"If you are finished here I suggest that you leave," Seto said. He started typing at his computer.
"Fine be that way. I'm sick of helping you anyway. Who cares if you miss the best opportunity of your life with the only woman who can stand you. How she does it I'll never know," Joey ranted leaving the office. The others left too. Yugi looked at Seto before he left. Seto did not look up from his computer.
"Seto what are you going to do?" Mokuba asked.
"Mokuba this was an offical meeting. I have to plan an answer," Seto said with a slight grin on his face.
"Seto are you planning something?" Mokuba asked.
Seto grinned. "She won't get away with this," Seto teased.
Angela went to a hotel roof top. The hotel was over looking the waterfront. She could clearly see the area where she arranged to meet Kaiba. A man moved slightly behind Angela. "So are you the one that Melissa sent to get his answer?" Angela asked.
A man dressed in straight black took his hood off. "How long have you known I was here?" he asked.
"About eight minutes ago. So are you here for him or me?" Angela asked.
"A little of both. I need his answer but Melissa seems to be worried about something. And I'm wondering about somethings too," he started.
"What do you wonder?" Angela asked monotonely.
"You almost missed the deadline. Would you break the laws for this man?" the man asked.
"No," Angela stated
"What has happened to your body? It seems to have changed," he asked with more concern than curiousity.
"My body is preparing. For my powers," Angela said with more than a hint of strachiness in her voice.
"What powers?" the man asked.
"The powers sealed within me before your line began," Angela said with a smirk.
"Seems to me that the darkness is getting stronger in you," a third person said.
The man in black jumped. "So why did you come here Bakura?" Angela almost happily asked.
"I heard about your offer to the Kaiba. I wanted to know if our arrangement is still valid," Bakura asked.
"It is. You have nothing to worry about. I doubt he will make such a large move," Angela said. "But I want to thank you for saving my life in the hospital. So thank you for that." Angela said. Her eyes scanned over to Bakura. "With the tastes of my power you've had in the recent time I assume that your answer will be on the postive?" Angela teased.
"Of course. But I should go. Things to do," Bakura said. He walked back down in the stair well.
"I am off to bed. Tomorrow should be fun," Angela said with a smirk.
"Wait!" the man almost shouted. Angela turned around. "What was the deal with him?" the man asked.
"After about a year and half from now if I am not pregnant or married I will bare him a child. So that he seperate from the ring and walk in his own skin. Fun isn't it?" Angela said. She turned around and started into the building. "Tomorrow will be interesting."
