Chapter Four: Hostile Takeovers

Yugi and Tea sat in his room together and pondered over their new relationship and where Yami fit in. It was obvious that he'd chosen Bast over the rest of his friends and that he could not be trusted anymore. Yugi never thought that the day would come but it had and now there was no denying it. But for now he was focusing on Tea. She needed him right now and he was happy to be there for her.

"So…" Yugi said.

"So." Tea replied with a smile.

"So what next?" Yugi asked, "I mean we've obviously taken our relationship to the next level."

"We have." Tea said looking down at the floor. "Do you think it was a mistake?"

"Of course not." Yugi replied. "I've loved you since we were small children, Tea. I… I'm glad that we…"

"Yugi." Tea said. "I'm glad too and there is something else that I want to tell you. You're my very dearest friend in the entire world and I'm glad that it was you who took me in that night."

"Tea." Yugi said. He was fumbling around in his pockets for something. He'd been thinking of how he'd do this when the opportunity came. He'd put this off for far too long. "Tea, I wanted to ask you something that I've been putting off since the day you came back into town."

"What's that Yugi?" She asked him, sensing that this was important.

"uh hem," Yugi cleared his throat and took out a ring from his pocket. It had been his Grandmother's engagement ring that his Grandfather had given to her and now it had been handed down to him and he was going to give it to Tea. If she accepted then it would change everything forever. "Tea will you marry me?" Yugi asked her as he rose to one knee. Tea couldn't believe it when she saw the ring in his hand and then when he'd said the words, it still had to sink in. Yugi was actually asking her to be his wife.

"Yugi, I don't know how to put this…" She said, "Yes!" She cried and flung herself into his waiting arms. They kissed and Yugi held Tea there for as long as the moment would last. She was his now and nothing could ever tare them apart. Not even Yami and Bast could bring him down now.

Break

"What!" The gang all shouted that afternoon when they all met up at the shrine in Tokyo.

"That's right." Tea said to them all as she showed off the rock that Yugi had slipped on her finger. "Yugi and I are getting married."

"Oh this is so wonderful." Serenity said. "I always knew that you and Yugi would make great things happen together."

"So when's the big day?" Mai asked. "You can't tell us that you haven't set a date yet."

"Actually." Yugi said. "We thought that we'd do it this afternoon."

"What! Everyone cried. "This afternoon?"

"You're crazy." Felicia said. "You need time to plan a wedding and everything. I mean, who's going to perform the ceremony? Who's going to cater the affair? And that outfit that you're wearing isn't right for a wedding." She pointed to the spiked collar and gantlets Yugi was wearing with his usual hard core rocker outfit.

"None of that matters to us." Tea replied. "We just want a simple ceremony with all our friends there."

"I think it's a wonderful Idea." Rafael said. "Nothing flashy and nothing to draw attention. I call dibs on best man."

"Hey if anyone's gonna be Yugi's best man it's gonna be me." Joey stated. "Besides, it's just going to be a simple ceremony."

"Oh, Mai,would you do me the favor of being my maid of honor?" Tea asked her.

"Sure think hone, I'd love to be your maid of honor. Oh this is going to be so wonderfule, I'll get to plan you a wonderful wedding shower, Serenity, you've got to help. Felicia you too, girls we've got our work cut out for us."

"Great, then we'll all meet back here tonight around Eight, and Gramps Higurashi will preform the ceremony." Yugi said,

"I know gramps will love to do it." Kagome said.

"Oh, Seto, I've just got to pick up Ichiro, I'll be right back." Serenity said walking towards the house. Just then though, Mokuba got a call on his cell phone. It was Rolland with some very urgent news.

"Slow down Rolland ,just tell me what's going on. What do you mean, someone's taken over Kaiba Corp.?"

"HUH!" Everyone exclaimed. Kaiba's face went pail and he nearly fainted.

"Guys, Rolland says that someone has launched a hostile takeover of Kaiba Corp, and they've bought up over 51 shares!" Mokuba cried.

"That's impossible!" Kaiba shouted. "That would mean that they'd have to have bought out some of our shares!"

"Some of your shares?" Bakura asked.

"Yes, in order to keep anyone from launching a hostile takeover of my company, I've signed over most of my shares which amounted to 51 shares exactly over to Mokuba, Rolland, Serenity, and my son, Ichiro. Since I retired at head of Kaiba Corp, I kept only one share for myself and split the rest of my shares up. In order for anyone to accumulate 51 shares that would mean that they would have bought out every share out there and some of my family's shares. Mokuba, have you sold any of your shares lately? Kaiba asked.

"No way big brother, and I know Rolland hasn't." Mokuba replied.

"Then it had to be Serenity." Kaiba said. "How could she be so foolish?" Kaiba asked. Just then Serenity came running up with panic on her face.

"Seto!" She shouted. "He's gone!"

"Who, Ichiro?" Kaiba asked taking his wife in his arms.

"Yes, he's gone, and so are Kagome's children."

"What!" Kagome cried and then ran to the house to see for herself. They searched high and low for the children, for hours, but there was no sign of them or Jaken.

"OH were could they have gone?" Kagome demanded of Inu-yasha as they returned to the shrine. Just then Miroku and Sango came up from the well with Shippo and their son.

"We checked the village, the forest, and the hut, but we found nothing." Miroku reported.

"Then that can only mean one thing." Inu-yasha said. "Someone's taken them."

"But who would do such a thing?" Rin asked.

"Someone with a depraved mind."Kaiba said. "It has to be our enemy."

Just then, a limo drove up at the bottom of the long stairway to the shrine. Two armed goons stepped out and proceeded up the stairway, and came upon the group. One came forward, and said, "Mr. Kaiba, Sir….The new presidet of Kaiba Corp would like to see you."

Kaiba stood up straight and stepped forward with his head held high. "Lets go then…"

"Wait a minute!" Inuyasha yelled, getting in front of him, "We have to find the kids! We don't have time for this Kaiba Corp nonsense!"

"Are you, Inuyasha?" asked the other goon.

"Who wants to know?" the half demon said as he turned around.

"We've been ordered to take you too," the first goon said, "In fact, you're all welcome to come."

"The new president sent this incase you needed convincing," and he tossed Jaken's hat at their feet.

With a growl from Inuyasha and more tears from the worried mothers, the whole group piled into the limo, and were taken from Tokyo to Kaiba Corp Headquarters in Domino. They entered the building with caution and took the slow elevator up to the top floor where Kaiba's office had once been. The room was pitch black, devoid of any light…Then suddenly….

"Welcome…..Father," said a small childish voice. Slowly, the 'Big Boss's Chair." swung around, and sitting in a little business suit, tailor made in the last few hours, was…

"Ichiro?" Kaiba cried out. "What's going on?"

"I've launched a hostile takeover of Kaiba Corp, Father….I was greatly insulted when you gave the company to Uncle Mokuba instead of me. Now I'm taking what's rightfully mine…With a little help of course." He snapped his pudgy little fingers, and Kaede and Hiro toddled out from behind the chair, dressed in black suits and sunglasses, with Kaede dragging out a tied up and gagged Jaken.

"What the heck?" Shippo said,

Jaken squirmed around until the gag fell off. "Master, Inuyasha! I'm sorry! I couldn't stop them- He gave them candy and they went crazy!"

"They were quite easy to persuade." Ichiro said.

"Where did I go wrong with my little baby?" Serenity said, weeping.

"Please, Mother, enough tears. Or do I need to give you candy too?" the five year old asked.

Inuyasha pushed up his sleeves, and strode forward, "I'll handle this."

"Master Inuyasha!" Jaken wailed, "They'll destroy you! They're on a sugar high!"

That neither hindered nor stopped Inuyasha as he faced off with his own children. He looked sternly down at them…Then…with a fanged grin, he held out his arms, and said…

"Who wants a piggy back ride!"

"ME me me me me me me me!" the Inu-puppies cried, tossing Jaken aside and running to their daddy.

Ichiro watched with shock and surprise as his enforcers, who ha taken out most of Kaiba Corp's security earlier, now rode on the back of their father around the room. "My minions…My perfect fighting force…Taken down by piggy backs!"

"Now for you, little Mister," Serenity started to say, stepping forward. But Kaiba held out his arm and stopped her just short of the desk.

"No…This is a good day." Kaiba said, smiling. He held out his own arms, and said, "My son…I couldn't be more proud of you if I tried!"

"HUH?" everyone stuttered.

"I'm a little confused too," Ichiro said as his father approached the chair and picked him up.

"You've successfully taken total control of the family company at an age younger than I had…With only two hyperactive puppies to aid you…You've outdone me, and I'm proud of that. Mokuba, sign over the rest of your shares to Ichiro. The company's yours, Son."

"You…you mean that? And I won't get a spanking for running away?" Ichiro asked with fiendish glee.

"Oh no, you're still in trouble," Kaiba said as Serenity came up to them, her arms crossed. "But I'll leave that to your mother."

Ichiro looked up and gulped. Suddenly, with a over exaggerated lisp and his his finger in mouth, he said, "I sowwy Mommy…I be good…"

"Oh no, not this time little evil super genius," the ticked off mom said as she sat down and bent him over her knee. "Next time I leave you with a babysitter, he'd better not be tied up and gagged when I find you." With that she brought the flat of her hand down on his bottom.

"Ow! Ow! OW!"
