Hi again ^__^
First of all, I want to thank the ones who reviewed. I am delighted. In the past hours I got more reviews in this short time period then ever before. *jumps around in joy* I should stop eating all the chocolate I got for Easter. Thank you who reviewed.
@ Adrienne-Lillian: Thanks for your suggestion. I even edited the first chapter. And for Yugi's destiny, well you'll see it as soon as I get to it. But he has still 2 weeks before him.
@ Yami-Yugi: You asked for more. Here is more
@ Oni Neko Tsumes: Well I can't tell you that. That would destroy all the suspense. ;)
@ Karalen the Wood Elf: Hey I hope you didn't hurt yourself by falling off your seat. You should be careful. If you already fall down because of the first chapter, then I don't know what happens during the following one. I don't want to be the source for some future injuries ;)

Chapter 2
He couldn't believe what just happened. His aibou, his love had just been kidnapped. And he didn't do anything to prevent it. He stood in the middle of the streets - not realizing the traffic jam he caused - and looked to where the van had vanished. He could hear Yugi begging for help again and again in his head until it got too much and he fell on his knees pressing both hands on his ears to block Yugi's voice out. That didn't help and it kept repeating like a broken record. He felt someone pulling him to his feet and off the street. He was too deep in his stupor to notice who the one was. He didn't even comprehend what this person said to him.
"Hey looks like Yugi was faster than Yami." Joey pointed out to the others as soon as he saw Yami standing at the traffic light. Suddenly Yami started running right on the street and chased after a black van which was too fast for him.
"What is the idiotic pharaoh doing? Trying to get killed?" Bakura asked after watching a car nearly hitting Yami before coming to a halt. Joey ran to Yami after Yami broke down on the road. He pulled Yami onto his feet while asking him what happened. Yami didn't reply. It was as if he was talking to a wall.
"Yami, come on. What happened? Where is Yugi?" As soon as Joey said that he noticed that Yugi was probably the cause for the daze Yami was in. Tristen, Tea, Ryou and Bakura caught up with the two boys while Joey gripped Yami's shoulders tightly.
"Yami answer me!" Joey shouted right into Yami's face. Still no response. He saw that Yami's eyes were out of focus and Yami seemed to not recognize him. He shook the other boy, but that didn't help either.
"What's wrong with him?" Tea asked Joey.
"I don't know, but I think something happened to Yugi." Bakura laughed short and shallow.
"Seems like the great pharaoh, failed to protect his little hikari." Ryou stared in shock at Bakura while Yami collapsed again. He only stayed on his feet because of Joey who supported most of his weight.
"Bakura!"
"What? I'm only saying the truth, Ryou." Bakura glanced at Yami who still didn't react in any way.
"God damn it pharaoh. Wake up." Bakura could deal with an arrogant Yami, but not with this one who didn't do anything to get his hikari back. Frustrated he did the only thing he could think of in that moment and punched Yami right in his face. The others stared in shock as Yami fell backwards on the floor.
"Seems like the great pharaoh, failed to protect his little hikari." Yami felt his knees give in a second time in the past minutes.
"Bakura!"
"What? I'm only saying the truth, Ryou." He failed. Help.
//Help me……Yugi, help me…..I can't live without you// He failed.
/…../
//Yugi..…no……not….Yugi…..Aibou….my hikari//
"God damn it pharaoh. Wake up." A sharp pain brought his attention back to where he was. He could feel the blood trickling down his chin. His bottom lip was split. Looking around he found himself being on the floor.
"Bakura!" Yami glanced up at Ryou who gave Bakura a look which said to better keep quiet. Yami looked down again before he whispered.
"He was kidnapped." Joey kneeled down beside Yami.
"What?"
"Someone kidnapped him." Yami replied dully, his voice wasn't louder than a whisper.
"What exactly happened?" asked Tristen while going to his knees on Yami's other side. Together Tristen and Joey pulled Yami to his feet.
"Yugi. He ran across the street. I couldn't go because of the traffic light. There was that black van. It drove to Yugi. I… I just thought that it just was someone who wanted to ask for the right way….I didn't know….I should have known…..I should have protected him…. I should have been there for him….I couldn't do anything….I…" Yami's voice went from the mere muttering it was into frantic and fast talking until another punch sent him back to the floor causing his lip to bleed even more.
"Bakura!"
"What Ryou? It worked once, why not twice. Now listen, oh so great pharaoh. You screwed up. So what? Everyone makes mistakes. Now it's time to stop dwelling in your self-pity and search for your partner." This time Yami stood up on his own.
'Bakura….thanks.' Yami nodded. Even if he hated to admit it, the tomb robber was right with the self-pity thing. He suppressed the urge to strangle Bakura because of how lightly he talked about this. He had more important things to do.
"Whoever it was in this van, they pulled Yugi inside and took off. The last thing I heard was Yugi's terrified voice calling out for help." Yami finished.
"Oh god, Yugi. We have to do something" Tea spoke softly while tears silently ran down her cheeks.
"Yeah, but what?" Ryou replied.
"Let's head back to the game shop. Grandpa needs to know." Joey replied.
They headed towards the game shop, Bakura going behind everyone when suddenly something on the floor caught his attention. Grinning he bend down and picked up the millennium puzzle. He supposed that Yugi had lost it when he had been pulled into the van. He was going to put it into his pocket, but was stopped by a hand resting on his arm. Ryou was looking almost pleadingly into his eyes. Bakura growled, but nodded to his hikari. They caught up with the others, who didn't notice what the two had been doing. Bakura growled once more before he addressed Yami
"Hey pharaoh." Yami turned to him and barely had time to react and catch the puzzle which Bakura tossed to him.
"Try at least to keep that safe."
Yami never felt that empty before since he got out of the puzzle after Yugi solved it. Half of his soul was missing. He tried repeatedly to talk through their mind link, always keeping his side open so he could hear Yugi. He didn't get a response. The only thing he sensed was a constant headache coming from the point where he had felt the pain earlier. He supposed that Yugi had been hit on his temple and because of that lost consciousness. That would explain the pain and why he didn't get an answer.
"Hey pharaoh."
'What?' Yami turned almost annoyed to Bakura and reacted out of instinct as Bakura threw something to him. Glancing down, his breath got caught in his throat. In his hands was Yugi's puzzle.
"Try at least to keep that safe." Yami could just nod and continued to call through the link while he gripped the puzzle firmly. His friends seemed to know that he was busy trying to reach Yugi and didn't talk once to Yami on their way to Yugi's and Yami's home. Yami was exhausted, but he still kept on dragging himself towards his home. He needed to go on for Yugi's sake.
He couldn't move much. The first thing he noticed was the murder migraine in his head. He moaned because of the pain and it prevented him from thinking clearly. As soon as he remembered what happened he called out in his mind.
/Yami?/
//…..// He tried to open his side of their shared link further, but stopped as soon as his headache nearly drove him unconscious again and left him feeling dizzier than before. The second thing he noticed was that his hands were tied behind his back and his feet were also tied together. Since calling for help in his mind didn't help, he tried it out loud, only to discover that whoever got him also gagged him. He slowly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything because of being blindfolded. The pain he felt in his head had lessened a bit, but not enough to reach out for his other half, but enough to think straight for now.
'Seems like I am alone right now. Or it is also possible that the one who abducted me just ignores me.' He sighed and tried again to contact Yami, only to receive no answer.
'Ok, I cannot reach Yami. I suppose the headache is to blame for that. That guy hit me twice in the same spot. I can add feeling ice cold and sick to my headache….There had been once in a movie a girl who fell from a horse hitting her head badly. She had had the same symptoms like I….Hell it hurts. That girl had been a bad actress. She hadn't looked like she was in any pain at all. Why can't I remember what they had diagnosed on her? …. Great. Someone kidnapped me and I am thinking about a movie I saw once.' He winced in pain as he tried to move his numb arms and legs.
'Argh, moving is bad. I shouldn't try that again too soon. I can't cry out for help nor can I see where I am or move at all. I have to be inside a building, since there is no wind at all. I don't think that I'm still in the car, because the ground isn't moving, not that I can tell that for sure. Why am I suddenly feeling so hot, but yet I'm shivering and cold…. and….God it hurts. I never thought that simple thinking can hurt too….Concussion…. she had been diagnosed with concussion. That's bad….I mustn't fall asleep. That could end deadly….I have to get out….First I should be able to move without hurting myself before I can think of running away….I'm tired….Mustn't fall asleep…mustn't….' He stopped thinking to relax just for a few minutes, but he ended passing out again.
He didn't know how much time had passed since he woke up last time, but he felt even worse than before. He noticed a slight shaking of the ground.
'Am I in a car after all?' He began panicking.
'If I'm in a car which is always moving…. It'll be impossible for Yami to find me. Oh God. What can I do? Please help me. Someone - anyone - please help me. /Help./'
//Yu….gi?!//
/Yami!!/
//…..//
/Yami! Answer me Yami. Please! Yami!/ Yugi started to cry, sobs shaking his body and hurting his feverish and injured head even more. He cried until he passed out from exhaustion and the never leaving pain.
They reached the shop sooner as Yami expected. Since he didn't pay attention to anything else then his mind link, he missed that the night already began to fall. They went inside and upstairs to tell grandpa that Yugi was missing. Yami let his friends explain the situation and concentrated on his side of the shared link. He tried to expand his end even wider and received a big headache which stood like a wall between him and the other end of the link. He was brought back to present by grandfather sitting on the couch, face in his hands and sobbing uncontrollably into them. Leaving the link open like it was he went over to the couch and put Yugi's millennium item carefully onto the table. He sat down beside grandpa and took him into his arms. He knew Yugi would do the same if he was here.
'Damn he wouldn't need to do it, since grandfather wouldn't cry his eyes out if he had been here.' He pushed that thought aside and offered grandpa the comfort the old man needed.
/Help./ The call was faint and Yami first thought that grandpa pleaded for help. He realized a second later that the voice had been Yugi's and not grandfather's. He sat straight up. The others noticed the change in his behavior and the familiar look in his eyes he always had while talking to Yugi through their link and they held their breathes.
//Yugi?// Nothing. Just the wall of pain. He tried again and again, always with the same result. He cried out in frustration and gave in to the thing that threatened to happen since Yugi was hauled into the van. He started to cry. No one knew what to do. There was Yami, the proud pharaoh who once in the past lead Egypt and was never affected by anything or anyone, now weeping like a small frightened child and couldn't stop on his own. Grandfather pulled Yami into his arms and let Yami cry on his shoulder while Yami clung to him as if he feared that grandpa would vanish too if he let go of him.
~~~Present~~~
The tears he shed in the first night. They were nothing compared to the ones he cried now. He had fallen asleep later in that night still holding on to grandfather. And even while sleeping the tears didn't stop for a very long time. Grandpa was now coming towards him and Yugi.
"Yami." Yami just shook his head. He wouldn't give up now.
"Yami, it's too late. Yugi knew the risk." He nearly choked on his own words.
"No."
"You need to let go, Yami." Yami just tightened his grip on Yugi and shook his head.
"Please Yami be sensible."
~~~13 day prior~~~
"I am sensible, grandpa."
"We should let the police do the searching." Grandfather tried for a last time to talk Yami out of his mission he gave himself. He couldn't bear the thought that he could lose Yami too. Ever since he got his own body, Yami had always been like another grandson for him.
"Sorry, but I can't just sit and wait until they find something." Yami was currently scanning through old newspapers while the TV was showing the current news. The puzzle was still on the table where he had placed it yesterday. Yami was sure he had heard somewhere on the news that the number of children simply disappearing had increased for the past months. He was hoping to find any leads where he should start searching.
"I don't want to lose you too." Yami looked up from the newspaper after hearing grandfather softly muttering these words. He got up from the couch and went over to grandpa who was looking out of the window. Standing beside him he looked out too. There on the street below were children playing.
"Who said that Yugi is already lost?" Yami asked grandfather still watching the kids running around.
"You don't have your connection…"
"I do." Yami interrupted rather sharply, before continuing softly.
"I just can't hear him right now."
"Is there any difference?" Yami couldn't believe how negative Yugi's grandfather spoke. But after considering how he reacted yesterday he understood perfectly. A small impassive smile was on Yami's lips before he replied.
"Yes. There is a difference." Grandfather looked up to Yami as he went on.
"The link is still there, even if it is silent." He turned towards grandpa and looked into his eyes.
"But as long as the link is there, Yugi is alive. So I won't give up." He went back to the newspapers. Grandfather watched him for a few minutes then sat down beside him and took another newspaper from the pile Yami still had to look through scanning for any information which might help.
To be continued…..
Another chapter finished. I've never been inspired like this before and I hope you enjoyed it in some way. The scene with Yugi thinking was perhaps a bit long, but it's not like Yugi has something else to do.
I was struggling at the second present scene. I never thought I could write something like this. I didn't intend to write another present scene so soon, but I thought it would fit. I'll see if there'll be more present scenes, but I don't intend to write more until the end.
Well anyway, please review. I need some comments - like every writer does.
Merce.
