Night fell over the Kaiba Mansion of the second day. Mokuba had gone to bed. Seto walked into Angela's. He walked over to her bedside. Angela was breathing hard. She was sweating. All the signs said that she had developed a fever but soemthing seems wrong to Seto. Seto placed his hand on her forehead. Her head felt normal. Without thinking Seto's fingers moved. His thumb on the bridge of her nose and his other fingers dancing in her hair.
"You look concerned mister Kaiba," a female voice said. Seto turned quickly. Mylissa was standing at the end of the bed inline with Seto. "Its good to see," Mylissa said with a smirk.
"How did you get in here?!" Seto shouted.
"I have certain charms. Ones that your gaurds found impossible to refuse," Mylissa said. She began to walk closer to the head of the bed. Seto stepped forward. Mylissa smirked again. "Don't worry. I'm not here. Officially anyway," Mylissa said.
"Than why are you here at all?" Seto questioned.
"To answer your questions and help my friend," Mylissa answered. Seto did not move. "Look Angela is my friend and was my boss long before she met you. I would not want anything to harm and something tells me neither would you," Mylissa said. Seto became uneasy. "I've already reported back to Angel that she is no longer in danger of transforming." Mylissa pulled a small device out of her pocket. "This will allow me to check how she is doing. Its something our tech boys made to give her a quick checkup. If you want to do it go ahead but it has to be put on her wound," Mylissa said. Seto stepped out of her way. Mylissa waked up to Angela. Mylissa sat on the bed's edge and started undoing Angela's top and bandages.
Seto turned around. "So what did you want to tell me," Seto said.
Mylissa grinned. "The information that you requested was hard to find. Because the spells haven't been used in years. Everyone almost forgot about them. But you wanted to know about returbation most of all. The problem with that spell was that no one has survived it before," Mylissa said. She looked at the wound on Angela's chest. 'Odd,' was her only thought. She placed the sensor on the stab wound. It made a few beeps and Mylissa removed it.
"Than how did she?" Seto asked.
"My guess is because she used her full power and managed to do a counter curse or break enchanement spell of some sort," Mylissa said as she read the results.
"She doesn't have a fever does she?" Seto asked guessing at the answer.
"You're right. She doesn't and the wound on her chest is pretty close to healed. She'll probably wake up tomorrow," Mylissa answered.
"So what is happening to her?" Seto asked with his back still turned.
"Her abilities are unusal Seto. You know that. Keeping them in this form is difficult. Right now she is just trying to get control again," Mylissa explained. She closed Angela's top.
"How long have you two been working together?" Seto asked.
Mylissa stood up. "It will be our thrith year this year. But that's not what you want to know is it?" Mylissa teased. "You can turn around now," Mylissa added.
"Why did you come to Japan at all?" seto asked looking Mylissa in the eye.
"You may know more about Angel Associates than most of the world does Seto but you don't know everything. In fact niether do I. I just knw the main objective of this company. Which is why I was put in charge of it," Mylissa started.
"What is that Mylissa?" Seto asked.
"Why do you care?" Mylissa asked.
Seto was cought off gaurd by her question. "Why does it matter?" Seto rebutted.
"Because you broke up with her a year ago, bring her back into your life with your brother, rescue her from madmen, save her again, and now she is in your house. I want to know what your game is before you find out more about her's," Mylissa said.
Seto was clearly embarrassed. He had never thought about his relationship with Angela or how it looked to other people. The two stayed on talking terms because Mokuba liked her. He never questioned anything the pair did. He knew she would keep Mokuba safe. After all she promised. Seto looked at Angela's right hand lying ontop of the sheet.
Mylissa looked at where Kaiba's gazed was fixed. Angela's right hand had a plain gold ring on her ring finger. Mylissa remembered that Angela did nto start wearing the ring until about two years ago. "Does that mean what I think it means?" Mylissa asked.
Seto shoot up straight. "No! Its not like that!" Seto almost shouted.
'Pretty close by that reaction,' Mylissa thought. "Fine.You know what our company does but Angela Associates is more than that. The seond objective as you can tell is to provide people like Angela, me and over half the staff safe working enviroments. Places they won't be judge because they have 'unique abilities' or a 'strange heritage'. That's what all the employees think," Mylissa said.
"But what is the third objective?" Seto asked.
"The third was set in place because Angela believes that their is no one left in the world who could do it. If Angela Draconis should ever transform into her birth again she will be seized and destroyed. That is the mission statement," Mylissa said. Seto felt something inside him sink. The thought actually horrified him. "I would just take her to her mother to be buried but I'm not going to tell her that," Mylissa said. She saw that Seto was still process her previous comment. "Well I'll let myself out." Mylissa waked to the door. She opened it. "Seto," Mylissa said. Seto turned his head slightly. "She has placed more faith in you thananyoen I've ever met. That doesn't mean that she won't be angry at you for calling us when she said she'd tell you," Mylissa finished. She closed the door.
