He didn't expect to see the house completely ransacked like that, he didn't expect to see Kuro sitting there waiting for them, and of all the bad things he didn't expect to see today, was what was being streamed on the mobile phone in Kuro's hand.

His brain seemed to be short-circuiting. He's seeing what he's seeing, he's hearing what he's hearing, but he seems to be having trouble trying to process whatever it was that he was looking at or hearing about. When he did though, it was probably some of the worst moments V ever had being a tenant in his mind.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!?!"

Blazing wave of fury and hatred exploded inside him, the sheer amount of spite would have killed anyone within the vicinity, eyes wide and teeth gritted in insurmountable anger, rational thinking lost, common sense broken, all restraint inside him shriveled and burned to ashes as the boy immediately darted towards the goddamned Kuroki Souta, fist drawn back and was determined to blow up his whole body to atomic sized pieces!!!

LIKE HELL HE'S STAYING CALM LIKE THAT!

Kuroki exploded into black smoke appearing behind the boy. "NOW NOW CALM DOWN!" He said hitting a red button, as soon as he did so he'd heard a scream of pain from the girl on the phone, jolted to life by the Reaper's blade plunging deep into her. "So long as I hold down this red button she remains tortured.. If I don't hit the green button every five minutes and enter my security code she dies. So you see if you kill me she dies. If you hurt me I hurt her. Simple as that."

He released the red button and allowed her to stop being sliced with the scythe. Silence filled the room. "It isn't what I DID to her.. it's what YOU'VE done... You lashed out at me and she suffers. Do it again and she dies..." He said calmly.

'Seth. Calm down dammit! you're going to get her KILLED'

He's calming down... he's calming down, HE'S CALMING DOWN ALRIGHT. Or at least his body is, there's just no way to stop his mind from going haywire. "Goddamned you Kuro...!" Seth hissed in fury, stopping from his advance but simply refused to back down, fist still in the air and clenched tight, shaking violently from his anger. Why the hell... WHY THE HELL DO THEY HAVE TO INVOLVE HER?! "I thought you were just desperate... but you're just nothing more than a wretched worm..." He muttered shakily, remembering Kuro's whole motive when he had taken Selene as his hostage. How he seriously wanted to rip his limbs off one by one from his body and hang him on the Eiffel Tower by his entrails...!

"What the hell do you want...?" V had to take over considering how Seth couldn't even think rationally at this point. That much was certain though, they wanted something from them, else they wouldn't have needed to keep her alive, or capture her at all. But... why Youma in particular-

...

Oh. God. That. Damned. Sneaky. Bastard.

The Crow Head Thief removed their mask and took off their large overcoat, revealing a slender figure, deep black hair, a button down, a nice sized chest with large scars and the fact that it was very much a lady underneath it all. "Kuroki Souta.. That isn't me.." She threw down the mask, laughing.

"He was my brother... I'm Kuroki, Yuri.." She said forcefully. "I died years ago working for The Professor.. but he brought me back. " She said touching the scar on her chest. "That's his power, to revive the dead. Unfortunately he must make a pact before the death or have the body on hand.. Neither of which applied to my brother.."

"He died avenging my death.. never knowing I was alive.. And you people killed him.." She clenched her hands into fists. "I'm not an idiot like him, I don't drag grudges into my work. I even think you kids are good people.. But the fact remains that what my boss wants he gets. Part of me does take pleasure in making you suffer.. But if you come along quietly you won't be harmed. My boss wants you. He always gets what he wants.."

"Like hell you're taking him!" V forcefully took over Seth's body, stamping his foot down and shaking a fist at her. That damned bastard is the lowest of all low! How the hell is this any different from the time with Selene, taking hostages for... WHATEVER. Seriously, as much as V himself wanted to save Youma, he can't just let Seth give himself up just like that. Not to mention it would mean giving himself up too! "I don't know why you want Seth, but you'll have to go past me to get him--Very well,"

...Ha?

Did he really just...

"As long as you let her go! That's my only condition!" Wait, what? Just like that? no protest, no hesitation, no second choice, no indecision? You're seriously just gonna turn yourself in... just like that? Hold on a second, SETH! What the hell are you thinking?! The metavirus was clearly against such a decision. Come on, there has to be another way! Summon her!

"Can't,"
Seth answered. "Tried it just now. Not working,"

What? No way, that's just too convenient for the enemy! Oi, at least think this through!

"WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO BE CONSIDERED?! IF YOU'RE BLIND OR DEAF OR MAD, I SHOULD INFORM YOU RIGHT NOW THAT YOUMA'S LIFE IS AT STAKE!!!"

THEN WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN?!

"WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT ME?!"

That last sentence silenced V completely. He answered it without hesitation, without disagreement, without any sense of fear or anxiety. For once V was hoping Seth would be indecisive, at the very least stall this long enough for them to think of another way... Dammit... Playboy, talk some sense into him! V turned desperately to Oliver.

Seriously... he can't lose Seth now...!

'....... When they take you hostage be calm and reasonable. Don't try to escape unless you see a clear way out or your life is at stake. Give them anything they ask for but stall for time whenever you can... And wait...'

'Reach out for my mind if you're scare or need help... and wait for us..'

'We ARE coming for you...'


He broke the psychic link between him and Seth... and returned to his body in the cave..

He rose up getting the snow off his stiff limbs, his eyes narrowed as he loaded up his app. He faced the ice wall. If he had to claw, dig, kick, or chew his way out he would get out of this cave...

Even if he had to die to do it, he would get out and tell them where Seth was..

He formed two beams of light on both his hands.

~~~

Seth Ryouga was taken away with her to the complex... The snow faded away beneath him, and somewhere deep within that snow a man was clawing his way through without giving in... Arctic chill filling his body...!

~~~

And a bit farther on a boy, a partner, was locked in a cell. The bars and walls were solid enough that even he couldn't bend or beak them. The entire cage was designed especially for him, so much so that it even had his name on it when he arrived..

~~~

Elsewhere still yet another figure remained in play, an unknown factor in this little game. A figure drifted through the walls, eyeing the rooms. "Tch.. That magic room they got her in is resistant to ghosts.... We shoulda acted faster.."

"What about the boy in the cage, boss?"

".. Perhaps.."

He ain't kidding when he said it even had his name on it... as though it was specially made just to keep him jailed with absolutely no way out whatsoever. He tried wrenching the gates apart, he tried kicking them, he even tried biting them, nothing worked. Not even through the walls. Damn, who would have thought they'd actually find a way to stop him. What worried him though was the fact that they didn't even bother to hide the way to their base. As though him breaking out and telling them where they are were the last thing on their mind.

Of course, only V would go through the trouble of thinking about all these. Seth, on the other hand...

...Oi, worrying about her now isn't gonna help us get out of here, you know.

Seth remained silent, though in his mind he was going crazy just thinking about Youma. How is she now? What have they done to her? Have they let her go yet? Where are they gonna release her? When are they gonna release her? How the hell could he have been so stupid to overlook this? He's their target, he should have expected them to take a hostage, someone close to him, to guarantee their success...

Dammit, it feels like it was his fault Youma ended that way...

As for V though, he had a completely different train of thought. To go this far just to capture Seth, what the hell do they have in mind?

Hours passed slowly, the boy in the cell would see nothing happen. Outside things had become chaotic but within this cell nothing changed.

That is until the steps arrived..

Yuri Kuroki and The Professor stood. THe professor's sleeves were rolled up, Yuri was washing blood off his hands. "Hahaha! Sorry I kept you waiting. This whole Checkmate business has kept me awfully busy today.." He said, once his hands where clean he fixed his sleeves, buttoning them. "Come with me." He said, opening the door. He folded his arms behind his back and turned, walking down the hallway.

Most of the complex was silent. However one room was quite busy. Doctors and men of other sorts moving in and out quickly. "He was quite tough. The mages are going to have to heal him up to keep him alive after all that! Never talked, either. A good man." The Professor said, swiping his keycard and opening the elevator door.

They rode up for quite some time..

Finally stepping into the lavish open top floor. Glass walls all the way around the office, armed guards at the door. A single desk. A single chair. Between them a pot of coffee and a bottle of bourbon. "Quite different than the WDA, right? Crime pays better.." He said with a smile as he walked to his desk. "Sit down." He commanded. "Sit down and relax, and let's talk business, shall we?"

Sit down. That wasn't a request. It was a command. A command with a consequence if he refused. Which, if he were to be honest with himself he would have loved to do so. Just what the hell is he doing, suddenly wanting to discuss business with him like this?

He saw no legitimate reason to refuse though. Eyes still full of hate on his two... companions, the boy slowly sat on the chair, though he's definitely not relaxing, as was apparent from his immediate question. "Where's Youma?" He said, apparently not sounding as harsh as he would have liked. Don't blame him, he's not used to that kind of talking.

"Safe. I had my best people tend to her wounds. And she's had her memories of the previous events completely wiped. This will all be like a bad nightmare to her when she wakes up. Sufficing you play along and don't cause trouble. You see I'm reasonable. A businessman..." He leaned forward interlacing his fingers and resting his chin on them. "I know you won't help me if she's harmed, and you know I won't harm her if you help me. So what's in everyone's best interest is for you to help me... But why? That is what you truly wish to know, correct?"

He smiled and stood from his chair, turning to look out the window to the mountains.

"I am not so different from you.. I am but a man... I too have weaknesses.. A heart.." he said with a distant tone. "This story, like many, involves a woman.. betrayal.. and your boss.."

He closed his eyes. "I hired a woman to work on certain... specialty tools for my business... Viruses.. Poison is effective but I find disease is far better for extortion. It's effects can be more subtle and yet also more violent.. She made me illnesses. I got her off a project. One of the only workers on a certain virus you might know well, merely code named V.. she was only a lab assistant but she learned much from that experience. Much that she used for my ends.."

"The only thing more infectious than her viruses though.. was her smile.." He turned to the boy. "I fell for her, absurd. I know. A man of my status with a weakness for women.. I fell and fell hard, though. And then she met him.. A one eyed idiot in London with dreams of making it big. He got wind of her involvement of a case. We'd been sloppy. We didn't expect anyone to really be chasing us. But he was..."

"He didn't care about our truce with the Bakers. He only wanted to beat bad guys and so he chased her. And maybe she wound up letting herself be caught.. She fell for the kid, thought I can't tell you why. By the time she returned she'd decided to change her ways.."

"I explained how he could never love her, not with all she'd done. How he'd never eve remember her. How she was nothing to him, and he could never make her happy.. But she was insistent... So I did the only thing I could.."

"I, of course, had her killed.."

He sighed heavily closing his eyes. "Such a beautiful woman... And yet such a ridiculous death. However the joke was on me, because her last act had been infecting me with one of her viruses... All my wizards and magus work night and day just to keep me alive from it.. and yet you.... YOU are immune! And not jsut to the low grade rip off in my body but to the original! To THE legendary V virus!!" He turned facing the boy. "That's what I need.. I need your immunity!"

"Immune?"

...No, that wasn't Seth.

"Immune you say?"

That's... a strange little initiative, for him to suddenly take over Seth's body like that. "Heh... heheh... Immune? Him? Seth? Immune to me?" He began to chuckle, lightly at first, before slowly turning to a small laugh. The laugh slowly increased in intensity, first he was simply interested, then he was amused. It wasn't long before everything just seemed... hysterical for him. A mad laugh that doesn't seem to come from the only one laughing in the lavish room, echoing eerily around making it seem as though there were three, four, five of him all at once. It doesn't seem as though he would ever stopped laughing, until he suddenly snapped in an angry voice, "NO ONE'S IMMUNE TO THE SUPER METAVIRUS, YOU IDIOT!!!"

Yep, he just said that. He suddenly rose from his chair, kicking it off across the room that it smashed and shattered on the wall at the other side of the room. "Seth wasn't immune, he's never been immune to me! This so called 'immunity' is EXACTLY HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO WORK! JUST FOR HIM! If it was anyone else I would have murdered them in ways no one could ever imagine but SETH! No, HE'S SPECIAL! But he's not immune, he's the only one I could infect properly! You can't tell when he's gonna die, it could be next week, it could be next month, it could be next year, but one thing's for sure, HE WILL DIE! There's no way to cure him, and THERE WILL NEVER BE!!!"

THERE. He said it, and he's seriously hoping that whatever he just said was all a bluff, because they're not. Part of him was angry at the kind of misunderstanding and the small little reason the Professor had to capture Seth, and part of him was angry at himself for keeping all that truth away from Seth all this time. "V... what...?" The boy said in a shaky voice, apparently incapable of keeping the dejection from his voice. "What do you mean... there's no cure...?"

V didn't answer. Seth seemed to be lost for word, as he slumped sitting on the ground.

"...Cool story bro, but if this so called 'immunity' is what you want, then I'm afraid you've been looking for a horned cat all this time," The metavirus said with a sigh.

Is he seriously in the position to give that kind of an answer?

He's yet to say anything about why Seth was the only one he could properly infect...

"I am not really in a position to believe anything you say at the moment.." The Professor said coldly. "However, more importantly even if that is true his biology and the original V Metavirus will be invaluable in our research.." He said as stood from his desk. "So what happens is simple. We release the girl once we get a blood sample. You remain here until I'm cured. Should you break out or escape we'll have her tracked down and killed. So unless you feel like spending the rest of your life on the run I'd say just play nice.."

He put two pictures on the table of Ryounosuke Takeda and of Edmund Drake, both dead. "I wouldn't bank on your friends saving you anytime soon.. Especially not which whom just fell into my hands.." He said with a small grin.

He clicked on the monitor. All around a still figure doctors worked quickly, however as they moved one could see very clearly the person on the table was none other than Beaumont J. Willicott.

"He was quite difficult to acquire. We've been working him over for a while. He nearly died but I can't have that.. yet. You see I want some information from him.. and as you can see..." He turned and grinned to Seth. "I always get what I want..."

Let's be honest here. Ever since meeting Yuri he was too preoccupied on trying to save Youma he had completely forgotten all about operation Checkmate. So you can pretty much tell how much of a slap to the face that was. The heavy weight of reality crushed down on him like a mountain, only just realizing just what kind of predicament they were in. "What...? No... No! What the...?!" He muttered in panic, taking the pictures. There was no doubt... the yakuza leader and Jameson's mentor...

As if that wasn't enough of a bad news. "Monty!" He gasped in surprise at the sight of Beaumont, the one who's supposed to be their main source of information. What the hell... how can he just accept this? Everything's gone so wrong... He was... devastated. He's really not sure what he's supposed to do...

...Of course... their... their main objective in Checkmate is to... kill the Professor, right? End his life? Then everything will work out fine, right? Checkmate's main objective, is right in front of his own eyes... killing him will solve everything. He'll be able to save Youma, he'll be able to save Monty, Oliver, end this feud and... really, save everyone. He just... he just have to kill him... he's so close, just have to run up to him, and punch his head off...

He can't kill him... he can't kill anyone... he can't do anything... stuck in a limbo without any way to get out...

"THEN LET ME DO IT!!!" A sudden show of force from the metavirus, who thought it was a good idea to take the fatal risk that could jeopardize everything. He leaped into the air towards the Professor, throwing his fist to meet the Professor's head, determined to blow him up with his punch!

Just what else is there to lose?

A puff of black smoke and suddenly Yuri was on his back, another puff and Seth found himself high in the air over the building. Another puff and Yuri was gone...

Seth was falling..... For five solid minutes towards the rocky cliffs...

A black puff of smoke, he re'appeared, going the opposite direction, his momentum died down and then a final blast of smoke and he crashed into the floor of the office..

Now on the monitor was Youma. "Tsk tsk.... Misbehavior gets a punishment.." The Professor said with a grin, pressing the red button, leading to the black scythe punging deep into Youma, ripping away at her brutally.

"Your actions effect others, moron. DON'T BE SO DAMNED THICK!" He spat violently before suddenly lurching forward, coughing up blood on the desk. "Haah.. Haaah...." He calmed himself and stood. "Put him back in the cell. Heal Youma and torture her again for good measure. Let him rot in his cell knowing the girl is writhing in agony for HIS mistake.."

A puff of black smoke and it was done. He was in his cell..

And somewhere a door was left open, so that if they did manage to elicit a scream..

He'd know.
