Chapter 4: Happy Reunion?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yami fidgeted throughout the plane trip. Even in his sleep he squirmed and tossed in his sleep and Bakura was sick of it. He twitched as Yami's arm hit his leg again in the last two minutes.

'By Ra, I understand if he's nervous but this is straining my already short patience.'

Taking Yami's arm, Bakura threw it back onto Yami's face with a little more force than necessary. Yami bolted up.

"What's going on?"

Bakura clenched his teeth. "Only that you were hitting me in your sleep and stop that fidgeting!"

"I can't help it! What if Yugi hasn't forgiven what I've done?! I know I wouldn't have!" Yami cried out.

Bakura wanted to slap himself. "That's what you're worried about! Yugi is as naïve, innocent, and ignorant of the harsh world as you can get in a person! Of course he'll forgive you! It's my hikari that I'm worried about."

"Why would you need to worry? Ryou just like Yugi, there's nothing to be worried about." Bakura just let out a 'hmph' and turned the other way, clearly disbelieving what Yami said.

Yami sighed in exasperation. 'Bakura is such a pain.'

A day later, Yami was thinking that he should add 'child' to the list of things to call the white-haired thief. He was acting exactly like a child who had his candy taken away. Bakura stomped angrily though the forest, staring at the little device that he 'borrowed' from Kaiba.

Yami panted, they've been walking for hours damn it and Bakura still was going at that ridiculous neck-breaking pace. "Bakura, slow down! Are trying to get me to the point of exhaustion?"

Bakura just ignored him. Yami just stopped walking and fumed at Bakura's behavior. 'That baka tomb robber has just exhausted the last remains of my patience!'

Stomping his way over to Bakura who amazingly increased his pace, Yami stood in front of the ex-theif and gave him a death-glare worthy of Seto Kaiba.

"What?"

"You know what! What are trying to do!? Kill me before I see Yugi!" Yami all but shouted at Bakura who was glaring back at Yami.

"No I'm trying to find BOTH of our hikaris faster!"

"It doesn't help if I die before I see him! That ruins the whole basic point of trying to find him in the first place!"

"It's not my fault if the all-mighty pharaoh isn't use to walking!" Bakura said half-mocking, half-angrily back at Yami who was at the boiling point. This pointless argument last for several minutes until the device in Bakura's hand beeped repeatedly.

Yami looked in surprise at the little device and glanced in question at Bakura. "Why is it beeping?"

"I put some hair of Yugi's in this device. The device then uses any satellite to locate and track the person by their DNA. The only way for the device to track the wrong person is if the user puts in the wrong DNA or the person has made a clone of himself. The latter I find very unlikely though." Bakura replied.

"You still didn't answer my question." Yami pointed out.

Bakura looked at Yami. "I was getting to that if you hadn't interrupted me, pharaoh. Anyway the device beeps repeatedly if the person we're tracking is within the radius of 5 kilomters."

Yami blinked and blinked again. "…what?"

If Bakura hadn't had more control than a normal person he would have rolled his eyes but Bakura just quirked an eyebrow. "To put it in simpler terms, so that your small brain understands, Yugi is within any 5 kilometers from where we're standing."

"So what are you waiting for? Find him!" Yami replied enthusiastically. Bakura muttered something unintelligible under his breath before leading the ex-pharaoh to the right of him.

They walked in silence for what seemed like ever, only the beeping the device in Bakura's hand to break the tense silence. All of a sudden Bakura stopped and Yami lost in thought smashed into him.

"Hey what's that for?"

"Shut up pharaoh!" Bakura hissed looking around. "We're here! Yugi's signal disappeared around here awhile ago."

"Then where is he!" Yami replied, looking around also. "Hey look!"

Bakura spun around. "What?! Did you find him…" He trailed off as Yami held up a piece of rope that had clearly been thrown away sometime ago. "Yami, I didn't know you could get any stupider."

"Hey, I'm not stupid, just look at this! Doesn't this seem odd?" Yami retorted.

"No, it's just a piece of rope!" Bakura growled. 'Seriously I know the pharaoh was stupid but I never thought this stupid! I can't believe I lost to a guy like him!'

"Exactly!"

"Explain yourself!" Bakura was confused but that didn't stop him from trying to bite Yami's head off.

"Don't you see? We are deep in Canada with no one living around here for kilometers! Why would a piece of rope that is clearly man-made be here?!" Yami said.

"So that means…" Bakura questioned.

"There has to be some kind of link between this rope and Yugi!" Tugging it Yami fiddled with the piece of rope throwing it from one hand to the other. "Bakura check this out. I think that it's connected to a computer!"

Hearing the word computer, Bakura snatched the rope away from Yami and inspected it himself. Taking out his laptop Bakura quickly took off all of the fibers that cover the rope (well now it isn't a rope) revealing a snake-like device. Finding the hidden plug-in after fiddling with it for a couple seconds, Bakura connected the snake-tech with his laptop. After a few minutes, Bakura said, "Ok I've accessed their computer; it's several meters below ground and has quite a couple of firewalls too."

"Open the door first. After that you can try to break through the firewalls." Yami replied impatiently.

"Oh I won't try to break through the firewalls, I will break through them! This is no different then getting past traps in a tomb." Bakura smirked as he remembered all of the times that the pharaoh thought he had outwitted him. 'There hasn't been a firewall invented or I tomb guarded that I can't get past!'

"Say that after you break through all of the barriers!" Yami replied.

Bakura scowled but put all of his attention on his work. "Three meters away from us in the northeast, that's that way." Bakura pointed in a direction, while Yami scowled. "There should be a trap door."

Yami brightened at that and hurriedly calculated how much distance was 3 meters. Stopping at the point, Yami groped around for a while on the ground before he finally found a small incline where it shouldn't be. Just as he was about to try to open it, the door opened on its own almost slamming Yami's jaw.

"BAKURA! What was that for?!" Yami glared at him.

"Hey, not my fault that you didn't think of the possibility that it was controlled by the main computer." Bakura smirked at Yami's expression.

'He is dead once I get back!' Yami thought fiercely as he descended into the darkness below.

When Yami finally got to the bottom his eyes had become adjusted to the darkness and he could see pretty well. Dull concrete walls lined the silent cold hallway. The doors were closed as expected and Yami didn't try to open any of them. Knocking on walls Yami listen for a hollow sound. Suddenly he felt two presences that appeared out of no where. Both were oddly familiar. Realization hit him with full force and he spun around quickly as he could without falling over.

"Yugi…" Yami breathed. Yugi was beautiful; Yami could describe it in a million different words. He was taller now reach only several centimeters below him. His body was lean and a bit muscular. At least Yugi's tri-colored hair that resembles his own was the same, still soft and vibrant. But it was his eyes that were completely different, the deep amethyst he was used to seeing were pale from spending little time in the sun. Even worse, they stared at Yami with such utter emotionless. 'Oh, what happened to you, Yugi?'

"Atemu." Yugi voice was curt and Yami's body flinched as his other name fell from Yugi's lips.

"Yugi, please let me explain. I'm sorry. I'm sorr – " Yami was cut off as Yugi looked up with eyes that blazed with anger.

"Sorry! Sorry! It's too late for that, Atemu. Six years too late." Yugi hissed at him.

Yami winced at his words. 'Damn it! When did I become such a coward?!'

"I know! I realized that, Yugi and I've blamed myself over and over again! Can't you forget and forgive me?" Only too late that Yami realized it was the wrong thing to say.

"Forget and forgive you! Who do you think you are, you bastard?! Do you really think that Yugi will be able to do that so easily! You funkin' shattered his mindset! And you expect him to forgive you! Never mind forget!" The words were so venomous and hatred dripped with every word that Marik spoke. (Except Yugi's name, I mean who could hate Yugi?!)

Yami glared back at him. "This is none of your business, Marik!"

"If this concerns Yugi, which it obviously does, it is my business whether you like or not!" Marik replied glaring with the same force.

"Why are you so concerned? A few years ago, you wouldn't even glance at him?!"

"Because unlike some self-proclaimed asshole, Yugi isn't an arrogant prick who enjoys everyone bowing to him like he's god!"

"How dare you?! You don't even deserve to be in the same country let alone the same room with Yugi! You psy-" For the second time Yami was interrupted.

"Who gave you the power to decide whether or not Marik is worthy to be in my presence?! That's my decision and I have you know that I like Marik for company. He respects my decisions and doesn't try to manipulate me like you did! I'm though with talking to you. I can handle you trying to get me to forgive you but I won't tolerate you badmouthing my friends. If you're as naïve as to think that I will forgive you just like that then you don't know me as well as you think you do!" Yugi voice was calm but it gave Yami a bottomless feeling in his stomach. "Bakura is with you is he not? You can tell him that Ryou feels the same way I do and refuses to speak or contact him in anyway! So both of you can butt out of our lives, once and for all!"

Yami was to say shocked and speechless. He only snapped out of his revere when Yugi started to walk away from him. "Yugi, wait. Please."

When Yugi kept walking, Yami reached for his wrist to hold him in place but to his astonishment the arm moved lightening fast out of his grasp.

Marik smirked. "You think that Yugi would be the same after six years. He's the fastest in speed and strategy we have in our organization. You would be a fool if you thought that you could ever catch him."

Yami seethed, his expression twisting into a look of utter loathing at the other man. That loathing turned into pure jealousy when Marik touched Yugi on the shoulder, the smaller male not shying away from his touch, but actually leaning in.

Marik's smirk widened when he saw Yami's face. "Come on Yugi we're going."

Yugi nodded and before Yami could blink they were gone. Yugi was gone and he had made things even worse then before.

"Damn it to Hell!!" Yami shouted as he pounded the wall beside him. Only his own voice rang back to him in the once again silent hallways.
