Yugi
"I think I'm going to call it a night guys," I said picking up my textbooks. "I've got to finish that book before it's due."
"We'll be there to pick you up for a day out," Tristan said.
"Ok," I said before leaving.
I started on my short walk from Tristan's house to my home. I had to cut through the park that was just a few blocks away from the house. As I entered the park, a dark figure appeared. "Who are you," I said suddenly scared of whoever or whatever this thing was. It said nothing but flew over to where I was standing. It reached into my chest and pulled Yami out, laughing all the while. Before blacking out from the pain I heard running footsteps.
Joey
Yugi forgot a textbook at Tristan's and I figured that I'd take it to him. I cut through the park, knowing that Yug did the same to get home quickly. I heard his screams when I was passing the fountain and took off running. I had gotten to the clearing when I saw a shadow pulling Yugi and the Pharaoh apart. This was painful for the both of them since Yugi had passed out. "Let my friends go, ya creep," I called out to the laughing figure.
"You may have this one," it said throwing Atem into the nearest fountain. "But I keep the boy."
"How's 'bout this, you don't get any of them," I yelled.
"I'd save the spirit before he drowns," it said, "I'll contact him shortly." With this last remark, the thing vanished.
I fished the Pharaoh out of the fountain and helped him home.
Yugi
I woke up in darkness and felt like something was missing. Then it hit me, Yami was gone. Forcefully and painfully ripped away from me by something that gave off an air of malevolence. I was suddenly blinded by a sudden light, "I see my prisoner is awake. Good, I've need of you."
He grabbed my arm and practically dragged me into another room. "I can't have you getting away," he said while chaining me to a table. "Now stay here while I call your friends.
Atem
I woke up in Yugi's bed, feeling alone. Yugi was gone, stolen from me by a shadowy figure. I heard the phone ring and Joey's voice answering it.
Moments later, he came upstairs and said that that was the kidnapper. "He said that he's going to give Yugi back, but that we have to meet him at the Domino Pier Warehouse number 09."
"This has to be a trap," I said bluntly.
Joey called the others and we took off for the pier to rescue Yugi.
Yugi
"Your little friends are coming for you," my captor gloated, "I told them that I'll give you back."
"So you're going to set me free then," I asked hoping that this was the case.
"Not in this condition," he said reaching over to touch my forehead and heart with his clawed hands. "You're going to be a part of a game."
Tea
We got to the pier in time to hear screams coming from Warehouse 09. Joey and Tristan broke down the door. We all noticed that Yugi has been strapped to a table and that his kidnapper was shocking him. "I see you're here for the boy. I'll take my leave now, but I'll contact you within the day."
The man vanished, leaving Yugi unconscious on the table. I ran over and checked his pulse, "He's alright, but his pulse is a little fast."
After freeing him from the restraints, Joey carried Yugi to Tristan's car, "Let's get him home so he can rest.
Two Days later…
Atem
Yesterday, Yugi was in so much pain that I had him stay in bed and rest. He didn't like the idea of missing out on a day of fun, but he stayed in bed. He fell asleep off and on, so I had everyone priomise to come by later when he was up to company.
I sat by Yugi's side through the night as he was tossing and turning when I checked on him. About five in the morning his temperature flared and he lay very still. I was so worried for him that I stayed by his side after making sure he was still breathing. He finally awoke at noon, yawning. I noticed that his teeth looked different. "Yugi, could you open your mouth again," I asked. "I wanted to check something."
"Umm, ok," Yugi said opening his mouth. I looked closer and my suspicions were confirmed, his teeth had changed. His canines were a little longer and the rest of them were shaped differently.
"Thank you, aibou," I said. "You didn't bite your cheeks or tongue when you were being shocked last night."
"I hurt all over though, Yami," Yugi said as shadows appeared in the room. "What's that, Yami?"
"I have no idea, Yugi," I answered.
The shadows formed a familiar cloaked figure. "What did you do to my hikari," I demanded to know.
"Just what I did to the Thief's hikari a few days ago. Only his transformation was a bit more painful," it said, gloating. "I'll spare your light the pain and speed things along."
As he said this, his arm stretched out and I followed the direction of it and realized that it was pointing at Yugi. Before I could do anything, Yugi cried out, first in fear as shadows wrapped him in a cloak of darkness and then in pain. I could only sit there in shock and stare in horror as the dark ball of shadows shrunk in size and Yugi's screams of pain were silenced. The shadows dissipated, leaving behind a small, still form in Yugi's place.
"I'll come back in five days to pick him up in preparation for our games and to give you the rules," the cloaked figure said, "Since I already know who you and your friends are it would only be polite that you knew my name. It's Shade. Take care of your 'little hikari'."
With this he vanished in a swirl of shadows. After he left, I went over to Yugi's bed to get a closer look at the small form lying on the blankets. It was a small black puppy. "Oh, Yugi," I said as I pick up his small figure.
He whimpered in his sleep, as if in pain, as I carefully lift him. "I'm so sorry that you have to go through this." I hold him close and head to the front door to answer it. Joey and Tea had come to check on Yugi.
Tea notices Yugi in my arms, "What a cute puppy, Atem. When did you and Yugi get him?"
"We don't have a puppy," I said feeling tears in my eyes.
"Then what do you call that thing in your arms," Joey asked. That's when he and Tea noticed my tears.
"What's the matter, Atem," Tea asked.
"This isn't a puppy, guys," I say not really believing myself. "It's Yugi."
