SUITS (a Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction!) [with a whole lot of shippings]

Episode 6: Knock Knock

I
There was a knock on the door of Mr Sennen's lab. He was just staring through his microscope and he waited a few seconds before he responded.

"Come in,"  he said. 

The door was opened slowly, and Seto Kaiba's head peeked around the corner. 

 "I just came to tell you that I'm leaving for Europe," he said. 

Yami nodded, trying not to lose contact with the microscope. 

 "Alright, Seto. I will see you in a week," he said.

Seto sighed and entered the lab. "Okay, Yami, how long will you be going on with this insanity?" he asked him, pissed. 

"You tell me," Yami mumbled.

"Listen. I. Didn't. Kill. Pegasus," Seto said.

Yami gave no response.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Seto hissed at him.

Slowly, Yami's head disconnected from the microscope. He turned around and smiled mockingly at Seto.

"What do you want me to say, Seto?" he asked him.

"I don't want you to say anything, I just want you to trust me. You know why? Because I love you, Yami, and I can't stand you being like this!" Seto said. "First, you start flirting with our maid, then you accuse me of killing Maximillion Pegasus, someone I really looked up to and who I will miss forever, and now you won't even look at me when I'm talking to you!

"Well, you're the one who started acting strange!" Yami said.

"Since when do I act strange?" Seto said.

"Since the time when Pegasus told you to "do it", and "tell everyone what you were up to", does that sound familiar?" Yami spat.

"Can you stop about that for once!" Seto exclaimed.

"Not before you tell me what he meant by that!" Yami exclaimed back.

Seto sighed. "Well then."

Yami looked expectingly at Seto Kaiba's face.

"I'm sorry it had to be like this. See you in a week, Yami."

He then turned his back on the biologist and walked out of the lab. A few seconds afterwards, the door slammed shut with a big noise. 

Yami shook his head. He then looked back into the microscope. He was just so close to finding out the secret of life. So close, that he was almost certain that he would actually find it. Maybe not today, but maybe tomorrow.

He really knew how to use his fine forceps, his work was always on point and therefore only rarely, there went something wrong. But this time... No, never had he come so far!

In the meantime, while he looked away for a second to find his syringe, he thought about Seto. He thought that maybe his boyfriend wasn't a murderer after all, for he had actually cared about Maximillion Pegasus in the past. But why wouldn't he tell him what Pegasus his last words meant...? Seto knew what they meant. Even if Seto wasn't the murderer, he was up to something, that was clear. 

Yami Sennen used the very, very small syringe to inject the empty cell that lied in front of him in the petri dish under the microscope. If this worked... Then he would be remembered forevered from this day on.

The small needle succesfully entered the cell, and he injected the substance he prepared ― twice. He was just carefully pulling away his syringe from the petri dish, when he heard someone knocking on the door again. He sighed.

"Look who came back after all!" he called across the room. He rolled backwards on his saddle stool that had wheels underneath it, got up, put on his glasses and walked over to the door.

He opened the door, expecting Seto, but instead, he looked into the eyes of detective Malik. Yami Sennen raised his eyebrow. 

"Your maid let me in," he said with a dark voice. "At first I thought you had just suddenly shrunk, or that he had to be your son, but you just look very much alike, don't you?" 

"Yes," Yami answered. He blinked a few times. "What do you need, detective?"

"I need you to answer a few of my questions."

"Wonderful."

Yami walked out of the lab and closed the door behind him. "Let's go to the living room, shall we?"

"Fine," Malik answered, and he followed Yami through the corridors towards the living room. 

Yami gestured towards the couch, and Malik sat down while Yami undid himself of his lab coat and sat down on the couch across from the one Malik was sitting on.

"Proceed," Yami said.

Malik sighed, then he gave Yami a quick smile. "You were the one that made that potion, didn't you? Right there, in that lab of yours?"

Yami Sennen smirked. "Detective, I wish I did. In fact, I feel flattered by the fact that you think I'm capable of making such a brilliant substance. Odorless, colorless, tasteless! But no, I would never make something to kill. That would be a waste of my time."

"I see. So, where did it come from?" Malik asked. 

"Like I would know that. But I've never seen something like it before," Yami said. 

"Then do you know someone who could get acces to this so called brilliant substance?" Malik said.

"Dear detective! Literally everyone living here, in Domino Hills. Everybody has connections. It could have been anyone. But if you ask me, who I think that paid Miss Gardner to put it in Maximillon Pegasus his wine, then I would say Seto did it."

"Why?" Malik asked him.

"Did he tell you why Pegasus his last words to him were something like, "Do it Kaiba, tell them what you're up to"?

"No, he still didn't. I wanted to ask him again today."

"Well, he didn't tell me either. And he left for Europe today. That's why I think he knows more about all of this," Yami said.

"I see. Thank you for your time, Mr Sennen. I will be back sometime," the detective said. And with that, Malik stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait, Yugi will show you out ―"

"Not necessary," Yami heard before the front door opened and closed. 

Yugi looked confused around the corner of the corridor that led to the living room. Yami looked just as confused back at him.
