That night as Yugi returned to his room he thought of Yami and the talk they had earlier. 'Maybe I should stay with him... just this once... No I can't! It's too risky! But maybe we won't get caught... But what if we do!' He mentally went back and forth with himself trying to convince himself not to go to his boyfriend's room and as he mentally argued with himself, he forgot to pay attention to where he was going.
As he looked up he realized that he was at Yami's door with his hand on the doorknob. He stared in shock at what his body had done while his mind was debating. He slowly backed away and ran in the other direction towards his own room. 'I won't get him killed!' His mental self kept yelling over and over again as he ran quickly back to his room.
When he got there a few moment later he quickly opened the door and slammed it shut behind him. He turned around to face his room and when he did the sight that greeted him made him wish he had stayed with Yami.
He stared down the barrel of the gun that was right between his eyes. He looked up slightly to see the man holding it. He was blonde and tall with blue eyes and he smirked evilly down at Yugi. "Unless you want me to put a bullet through you, you're going to do exactly as I say. Understand?"
Yugi nodded shaking slightly in fear. "Good now turn around." Yugi did as he was told and suddenly gave a cry of pain as the but of the gun hit his head hard. He felt his body fall to the floor as he quickly lost consciousness.
"Bakura no!" Ryou had returned to his boyfriend's room in hopes of spending a few more minutes with him before going to bed for the night. But as soon as he got there Bakura immediately started asking him to stay the night.
The assassin narrowed his eyes at his boyfriend. "What's the matter with you! You always say you wish I was more loving and caring! Here I am trying to be loving and you just push me away!"
"Don't try to guilt me into this! I'm not trying to see you get killed just because of some cuddling time! What the bloody hell is wrong with you! Can't you see what they'll do to you if they catch us!" Ryou took a deep breath to calm down and stop yelling. "I knew I shouldn't have come here." He growled more to himself than Bakura but Bakura heard it anyways.
"Then why did you!" He yelled. Bakura turned and punched the headboard in his anger and frustration, putting a nice sized hole through it. It was late and he was too tired to fight. He put his head in his hands and sighed. "Just go Ryou. I can't do this with you tonight. Just leave, I'll see you in the morning." He could tell there was a hurt look on Ryou's face but he didn't dare look up. He sat there in the same position even after he heard his door open and the slam of it closing.
Ryou walked down the hall feeling both mad and hurt that Bakura would just send him away like that. "Stupid idiot." He said as he wiped away a few tears. "What am I supposed to do just stay there so someone can catch us and kill him?"
"If I were you I would worry more about myself." Ryou gasped at the unknown voice and was about to scream when he felt a cloth be put over his face.
It reeked of some chemical and slowly Ryou felt himself become drowsy. As the cloth was removed Ryou realized what the chemical was. "C...Chl... chloro... form..."
Ryou fell to the ground and felt someone grab his foot and start dragging him. He fought to stay conscious but he could tell he wouldn't be awake much longer. As he was dragged the last thing he heard was the person speak. "How smart. Too bad you weren't smart enough to see it coming." That was the last thing he knew before he was asleep.
Malik still sat in the abandoned part of the building moping. He wanted to see Marik but knew it was pointless. The argument he knew would happen from trying to spend some time with his boyfriend was not worth it. He loved his boyfriend but he was just so stubborn and hard headed, a very bad combination.
He wasn't trying to get into an argument especially since their arguments usually included throwing stuff across the room at each other. They never actually tried to hit each other, even though they had come close in the past. It was just a stress reliever. A very violent stress reliever that he wasn't going to go through tonight.
He knew he wouldn't be able to go to sleep if he went back to his room so he didn't see the point of doing that either. He reached in his back pocket and took out his cigarettes and reached in his other pocket for his blue lighter. Finding nothing, he looked in his other pocket and then his back pockets still finding nothing before remembering that the lighter was still in his room.
He cursed quietly and stood, about to go to his room. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck. His hand immediately flew up to the sight of the pain and found something there.
He started to feel drowsy as he pulled the thing out of his neck. He looked at the dart with black feathers on the end for a moment as he fell to the ground. He tried to get up when he felt a foot on his back, effectively holding him down. "Don't bother trying to move. You won't make it that far before you pass out."
Malik turned his head as much as he could under the guy's foot knowing he wouldn't be awake much longer. He growled threateningly at the man. "Go to hell!" He felt another dart enter his neck and he was out like a light.
I knew something was wrong as soon as I woke up. I don't know how I knew but I could just tell. I quickly got up from my bed and went outside my room. I looked around but I found nothing that should've alarmed me. I went back in my room and repeated the process but with the same results.
I was overreacting. There was nothing wrong and everything was fine. Today I had no missions and Yugi would soon be with me and we would spend the whole day together. There was nothing to worth about.
"Will Bakura Akefia, Malik Ishtar, and Yami Sennen come to the main conference room please? Thank you."
And with that one announcement over the intercom, my thoughts of a peaceful day were shattered. I sighed before getting up and taking a quick shower. I changed into a pair of black jeans and a black tank top before leaving my room.
As I walked down the hall I was joined by Bakura and Malik. "Any idea why they're calling us?" Both men shook their heads no and just like that my bad feeling from that morning returned with a vengeance.
We walked in to see two men, one with silver hair that covered one of his eyes who looked fairly young. The other man looked middle aged with gray hair, a gray mustache and huge gray eyebrows. His eyes were narrowed, brown and calculative as he stared at us.
We sat down at the table, me still having an uneasy feeling about why the men were looking at us like this and trying to remember who they were. After a moment of us all just staring at each other the one with the gray hair spoke up. "Do you know who we are?" We all shook our heads no. The one with the silver hair continued.
"We are two of the three owners of this business. I am Maximillion Pegasus and this is one of my partners Gozuboro Kaiba. We have a very important mission for you three and we really do hope you say yes." Pegasus took a look at the map on the table in front of all of us and pointed somewhere to the north of us. "In this area our enemies have a small base set up. We need you three to infiltrate it, get any important documents you can, and kill as many people as you possibly can undetected. An extra agent will go alongwith you, though it shouldn't be that hard for men of your caliber. Seto Kaiba will be flying your plane to get you there and back. Do you accept the mission?"
The uneasy feeling increased as I looked at the map. As the team leader it was my job to either accept or decline the missions we were offered. "Out of curiosity" I slowly asked "what would happen if I said no?"
An evil smile came on Pegasus's face as he looked at us. "Well then I guess they will just have to pay the price." Pegasus turned to the large flat screen at the end of the room and turned it on, only now it wasn't on a tv show. It was on a live security footage and as I looked at the image, for the first time in my life, I felt fear.
"Yugi!" I screamed at the same time that Bakura screamed "Ryou!" And Marik screamed "Malik!" I felt like I was going to faint as I saw my little hikari sitting there, gagged and tied up to a chair he was struggling against with tears in his eyes.
"If you refuse to go on the mission, we could just send them. Although with their lack of training I severely doubt they would return. Well, alive that is." Pegasus continued.
We turned to the two men, growling in fury. "Let go of our brothers!" Bakura said even though we all knew that was pointless.
"But that's just it, isn't it. Those aren't your little brothers are they? These are your little lovers and if you don't go on the mission, they will along with Seto's lover Joey. Be grateful, usually the punishment is a bullet through the head with them watching. At least now you have a chance to survive. And even if you don't at least they don't have to see it. We'll even let them go if you agree. So what's it gonna be boys?"
We glared at the two men in front of us in total fury and disgust. Eventually everyone turned to me. After all the decision was still mine to make even though it was obvious what I would say.
"When do we leave?"
Seto Kaiba sat outside the meeting room door listening in on the conversation taking place. He had been walking by the door when he heard the word lovers. Knowing who was in there, he was immediately worried.
He continued to listen, cursing quietly at the part about Joey. As soon as he heard Yami accept the mission, he quickly walked back to his room and immediately made a call. "Mokuba listen. I don't have much time but I need to give you some instructions and I need you to follow them to the letter. I need you to..."
My door was thrown open as I was packing and I looked over to it to see the most heartbreaking sight. My little aibou stood there, tears running down his face as he ran over to me and threw himself in my arms. His sobs were uncontrollable as he cried into my chest while I stroked his hair soothingly, trying to calm him down. "Shhh I know little one I know. It's going to be ok."
"No it's not!" Yugi cried. "Th...They caught us a...and now they're gonna k...kill you!" Yugi said between sobs as he continued crying on me though I didn't really mind. I sighed and sat down on the bed, pulling Yugi into my lap.
I lifted Yugi's face and reached behind me to grab one of my shirts to wipe Yugi's eyes as I calmed him down. After a few minutes Yugi was sniffling and his tears were done but he still looked fearfully up at me. "They're not going to kill me. They're sending me on a mission as my punishment."
Yugi looked at me skeptically. "So what's the catch?" I stared down at him not knowing wether to tell him or not. After a few moments I figured it would be best to be honest. It might make it a bit easier in case I didn't come back...
"There's a good chance I might not come back from this mission alive..." New tears came to my hikari's eyes but I quickly wiped them away. "Come on now, none of that. I don't leave until tomorrow. What do you want to do today?"
Yugi got up from my lap and moved my bag I was packing off the bed and laid down. He held out his arms and I crawled onto the bed, holding him close with my head on his as his head was buried in my chest. We ignored the people who walked by and stared at us through the still open door, seeing us showing such affection as we spent what might have been our last day together.
As I lay there I realized the irony of the situation. After two years of asking Yugi to sleep beside me at night, I finally got my wish on the last night that I might ever see him again.
Bakura looked at Ryou who was in front of them in their room. "Tell me it's not true. Tell me this is some type of cruel joke and they didn't catch us. Tell me that you're not really going to..."
Bakura sighed as he went over to Ryou. "It's true Ry... They're sending me on a mission... A suicide mission as punishment. I'm sorry." Ryou covered his mouth to try and hide his sobs but he did a very poor job and he knew it. He eventually gave up on trying to hide it as he buried his face in his hands.
Ryou suddenly felt arms around him. He looked up from his testy eyes to see a blurry Bakura. He wiped his eyes to see the look of pain and sorrow on his boyfriend's face. "I know I haven't always been the best boyfriend. And I know I could be a lot more loving towards you instead of always being a jerk. Ry I'm really sorry for acting that way and while I know I don't say or show this enough, please know that I love you so much."
Ryou started crying harder, letting out a shaky "I love you too." Before going back to crying again. Bakura sighed before picking his boyfriend up and taking him to his bed and laying them both down. For the first time Ryou didn't fight and let himself lay there with his boyfriend as he cried his eyes out.
Bakura finally got his wish to lay down with Ryou for the night. But now all he wished was that it wouldn't be the last time they saw each other.
Marik watched helplessly as Malik beat his head against that walk of his room. "Malik stop doing that you're going to hurt yourself."
Malik turned his teary glaring eyes on his boyfriend. "You tell me that you're going on a suicide mission for loving me and your worried about me getting hurt? How ironic." Malik gave a cruel bitter laugh before turning back to the walk and continuing.
After a few moments Marik sighed and pulled Malik away from the wall. He turned his boyfriend so he was facing him. "It'll be ok, me Yami and Bakura are going to come back. We are the best after all."
Malik growled. "Marik it's called a suicide mission for a reason! You're not supposed to live! When I get my hands on those sons of bitches who sent you on this mission I'm going to-"
"Malik stop!" Malik looked up, about to yell at Marik when he saw the look on Marik's face. He was automatically silent as he stared at the sad face that stared back at him.
After a few minutes Marik spoke. "This just might be the last day we have together. Do you really want to spend it fighting and yelling at each other like this?" Marik held out his arms and Malik immediately went over to him as the two held each other close. Marik picked Malik up and the two went over to the bed to lay down together, possibly for the last time.
Kaiba walked along the deserted hallways to where he knew Joey would be, working late. 'Thank god he's a worker here or they probably would've knocked him out and taken him too.'
He found Joey, thankful that he was the only one in the room. Joey looked up and smiled as his boyfriend walked towards him. "Hey Se- Hey!"
Kaiba grabbed Joey's arm and pulled him up before dragging him along behind him. "There's not enough time to explain Joey so I'll have to do it on the way. I need you to listen and play close attention to everything I'm about to say."
Seto went to one of the secret tunnel entrance to the facility and waited. He didn't have long to wait as soon the secret flap in the wall opened and he turned to see his brother Mokuba. "Hey Mokie thanks a lot for this." Mokuba smiled at his brother before handing him the bag in his hand.
"No problem big brother. Good luck!" Mokuba started crawling backwards to get out. As Mokuba left the tunnel Kaiba closed the flap and turned around, pretending to be surprised when he saw Gozuboro and Pegasus standing there.
"What's in that bag Seto?" Gozuboro's eyes narrowed suspiciously as he looked at the plain brown bag with a gold draw string. It wasn't very large and probably couldn't hold much but he still eyed it suspiciously.
Seto glared at the man. "I fail to see how it is any of your business what is brought to me."
"You seem awfully protective of whatever is inside. And the way it was delivered was a bit... Suspicious. You wouldn't be hiding anything from me would you Seto?"
Pegasus hadnt yet spoken as he stared at the conversation amused. Seto growled and handed over the bag to the two men. They looked inside and pulled out what they found.
Pictures. Different pictures of Seto and Mokuba. "And your little brother felt the need to deliver these because..." Gozuboro asked as he flipped to one of them at the beach.
"I wanted a new one to put on my desk but I didn't know which to pick so I asked him to bring a few. Now if you two are done meddling in my personal affairs, I would like to figure out which one of these I want."
"You can do that latter." Gozuboro said. "Right now we need to talk to you about something." Seto followed the two men to the meeting room.
When they got there all three men sat down. "Yami Bakura and Marik are going on a very important mission tomorrow. We need you to fly them to and from this mission."
Seto's eyes narrowed. "We have plenty of trained pilots here that would be glad to go. Why do I need to do it?"
"They are all being sent other places. We are spread a bit thin at the moment Seto." Seto didn't respond so Gozuboro continued. "Of course if you don't want to go we could send that little lover of yours Joey." Even though Seto knew it would be brought up, he couldn't help but growl at the mention of Joey. "Unlike you he doesn't know how to fly a jet. That should be interesting to watch."
"I'll do it." Seto said through clenched teeth as the two men gave evil smiles.
"That's what we thought you'd say. We'll leave you alone to sort through your pictures now." The two left as Seto held his head in his hands and sighed.
'Joey, you'd better be in my room when I get there puppy.'
While Seto talked with his partners, Joey stood by the other entrance to the building waiting. There was a quick tap on the wall and Joey moves the flap in the wall to see Mokuba. He smiled down at his boyfriend's brother. "Hey Mokie!"
"Hey Joey, here it is." Joey quickly grabbed the items and put them in his pockets before saying thank you and quickly heading back to Seto's room, waiting for him to get there so he could show him that he'd gotten it.
