You sit there, sipping on your wine. Watching professors, researchers, scientists, and even psychologists receiving awards. Of course they would invite you. They could care less about your studies, lectures, and findings. They just thought you were crazy; just like your grandfather. He was a great scientist, your role model. His theories, findings, discoveries were out of this planet. The whole town called him crazy, said he believed in myths and that nothing was a fact. They laughed at him when he claimed that there was an eighth millennium item. She had read many journals about it after he passed away; trying to decode and solve the puzzle. In front of you, someone else was getting praised for it. It made your blood boil. Ishizu Ishtar had been awarded for finding the millennium earrings. She had not discovered where it was; but apparently it was somewhere on an abandoned island, hidden. You scoffed. Your grandfather was called crazy for discovering it and here they were praising this women's words. You were certain she had stolen information from your grandfather.
There were originally seven millennium items; the colar (which was previously owned por Ishizu), the rod, the key, the scale, the ring, the eye, and lastly the puzzle (which was previously owned por a close friend of yours). All seven of these rest in a museum in Egypt after the world almost ended because of their powers. The millennium earrings apparently have been rumored to have the power to control spirits and demons and to protect someone from danger, curses, and black magic. When you were in high school, your friends got into so many dangerous and life threatening situations so it didn't both you. You were up for the adventure anyways, it was what kept you going.
These same things that your grandfather had discovered. He was so close to finding out where it was, but he died in vain. You wanted to avenge him, to make those people pay for what they did. Excusing yourself from the table, you walk over to the front to grab a glass of wine. Once you turned around, you came face to face with Ishizu Ishtar. "Oh hello there, professor Orimoto." She smirks at you and you felt yourself boiling up.
"What do you want?" You growled at her, but softly.
"Now now, no need to be rude. I was just trying to be civil my dear. I'm glad to see you here, so sorry that you didn't win an award tonight."
You grit your teeth together and clench your fists. This woman was testing your patience, she's lucky she isn't on the floor at this moment. You fake a smile and scoff. "Well, congratulations on your award."
"I see your still fake as ever. You ruined your career to follow in your grandfathers footsteps and now look where you are. No one even knows who you are if it weren't for your grandfather, poor man was delusional. Don't be like him and forget about his discovery okay?"
"Look, you better take that back, my grandfather was a great man. He discovered it before anyone else; he's not crazy."
"Keep telling that yourself. Your grandmother left him too, right? He was to crazy and absorbed in his work to notice her, right? Didn't Seto Kaiba also leave you because you were too busy for him?"
"Shut up, don't you dare bring him up. You have no rights to say that." You walked closer to her, ready to balanço but stopped when you felt a pair of eyes on you. Moving back, you walk away from her and step into the balcony; away from the party.
Looking down at the fonte below you, you quietly sip on your wine. You didn't let your tears fall, you were stronger than to let that woman's word get to you.
"Well, you held yourself back pretty well there." You sigh, knowing exactly who it was.
"What brings you here, last time I checked you were a businessman, not a scientist."
"I was invited, plus I knew you'd be here all depressed."
"Ugh I'm not in the mood for your games, Seto. Just leave me alone." You down the rest of your wine and sigh. You heard him walk closer to you.
"This is about your grandfather, isn't it?"
"They made a mockery out of him! He was the one who found out about the earrings! He spend days and months holed up in his studies trying to crack the code and they call him crazy? That is was just a myth? Now Ishizu finds information about it and she's being praised about finding the world biggest mystery? This is just bullshit."
He chuckled deeply and is directly seguinte to you. He looks down from the balcony. "You're still jealous of her; aren't you?"
"Maybe I am. I'm desperate, I want people to know who I am and to realize that my grandfather wasn't crazy." Kaiba didn't say anything but he just listened to you. That's what he always did; even when your parents passed away, he was there comforting you. It was rare of him to do something like that, but you two had a strong bond. You looked over at him and took in his appearance. He wore his usual white suit jaqueta with a blue button up camisa with a slightly darker blue tie. His hair was swept back, so you were able to see the details on his face mais clearly. You lightly blushed, but looked away before he caught you staring.
"Seto, am I really that worthless?" You say, tears brimming at the corner of your eyes.
He pauses but then shakes his head. "You've sacrificed everything to become who you are. It's one of the reasons we aren't together anymore.." He sighs but you pout.
"You're half to blame for us to break up."
"Well, you're not wrong." He chuckled deeply.
You knew Seto Kaiba since high school. At first, you never liked his personality and rich persona. Once you got past that stage, you both started to see each other a lot. There were many situations that led the two of you to eventually start dating. Your relationship was never rocky and it got very serious. You loved him for who he was and you were sure he loved you back. Once you both entered college, the two of you became very busy. Kaiba with his company and you were focused on your career and school. You barely had time to go on dates and rarely got intimate. Both of you ended things in bittersweet way and rarely saw each other until now.
"Anyways, I should get going. See you around." You turn around and walk away from him.

Once you were home, you took a bath and changed into something comfortable. You walk into your study and look around. There lay stacks of books, papers, and lixo all around. Most of them were related to your grandfathers case. Looking through everything, you noticed a book you haven't seen. Opening it, you look through the contents. It had the usual things about his findings until your eyes stopped at a certain page. Carefully leitura the pages of the journal; you were shocked to find new information.
"Oh my god, jackpot! Why did I not realize this before?"
You walk over to the bookshelf and look carefully . You don't see anything until you look behind a crack in the bookshelf. There was a whole there. Moving the shelf aside, you look into the hole a see a small box. Taking it out, you take it to your desk. There was no lock, so once you opened it, there was a letter.
Dear Y/N, I hope you were able to find my letter in time. I had to leave some minor clues in my journal, but you are smart enough to figure this out. I had discovered where the millennium earring is stored. I had done some research and found the abandoned island in lies in, but some people broke in and roubou my information. I managed to hide the map; it resides with Solomon Mutou, my close friend. Take the key in the box and go to him. Please find it and beware of people who want to steal it. I believe in you.
Tears ran down your face as you read through the letter. "He went through all this..." Sobbing quietly, you tightly clench the letter in your hands. "Grandpa...."
Once all the tears cam out, you were angry. "I'm pretty sure it was the Ishtar's that ambushed my grandfather!" You swore to get your revenge and to clear your grandfathers name.
