Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: Hi everyone! Seto and Joey went on a vacation and won't be back for a while. I think they went to Cancun, Mexico to a 5 star hotel. I could only imagine what they are doing there.
Yugi & Yami: Don't even start to think that!
Elaine: I have a good guess.(Smirking)
Yami: Holy hell! Must you think that way!
Elaine: Yes.
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: Everyone, this is my friend Elaine. She goes to school with me and is one of my best friends, along with Elishia.
Elaine: Hi!
Elishia:(bouncing off the walls) Sugar! Sugar! Sugar!
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian & Elaine: ...
Yugi: Oh my, she's sugar high.
Elishia: Hey! That rhymes!
Elaine: Wow, since when did she get good at English?
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: No damn clue.
Yami: Is she like that all of the time?
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian & Elaine: No.
Elishia: Okay, hyper spell over now.
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: That's good. Now on with the chappie!
Chapter 4
Piper In The Forest
Yugi looked out of the window and stared toward the forest. He felt as if he had to go there, his heart told him that Yami was there. He had never thought about how much he cared for Yami until he was taken from him. Yugi always loved Yami but never knew if he loved him back. That was always Yugi's greatest fear. But none of that mattered now. He was going to do anything to get Yami back; even if it cost him his life.
A chilled wind blew across the field and Yugi hugged his jacket closer to his body. Dark clouds formed above him, darkening the sky to a dull grey. Small snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
'Oh, great. More snow.'
Yugi sighed and walked on through the snow. His Mellinnium Puzzle glowed a faint yellow and tugged at him. Since it was Yami's puzzle, it could track the pharaoh down and find him. Yugi trusted that in his heart, no matter how hard it seemed, he would find his yami.
Light seeped through the small cracks in the dungeon walls as the sun began to rise. The occupant, was already awake and had been for a while. Yami sighed as the sun's rays glided over his tan arms, making them shine like gold. The Pharaoh was tired and hadn't slept long. He couldn't get his mind off of seeing Yugi last night in the boy's dreams. Yami heard footsteps coming towards him, but he didn't care.
"Well, good morning, my Pharaoh."
Yami turned his head away from him. He knew that it would make the man mad, but he didn't care what happened.
"Just leave me alone," Yami stated in a almost soulless(I didn't know how to spell that) tone.
"What's wrong with you? You act like you're heartbroken."
To tell the truth, he was heartbroken. Yami's heart ached for the want to be near his hikari.
"Leave me alone, please," Yami pleaded silently.
The man stared at him and then knelt beside of him. Yami looked into his cold, brown eyes. He saw a smirk across his features and his eyes potrayed lust. The man put his hand on Yami's cheek and stroked it.
"Yami, since you're here, you might as well become of use to me."
He moved his face closer to Yami's and was about to kiss him, until Yami gathered shadow magic in his hand to push him away. The man hit the wall with great force and looked at Yami with anger.
"You'll regret that action, Yami!"
With that said, he stormed off. Yami sighed deeply and looked at his hands, which were shaking.
'Was he going to...rape me? Damn, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.'
Yugi marched on through the forest and since then the storm had died down. He had no intention of ever giving up on finding his beloved yami. So there he walked through the snow and wind, braving the forest in search of Yami. The sun high in the sky now and Yugi didn't know how far he had walked. But he didn't care. He knew he had to reach Yami as soon as possible.
"I hope to find you soon. It's so cold without you beside of me."
His small voice echoed throughout the forest and it gave Yugi an eerie fright. Then it hit Yugi suddenly, how was he going to find Yami if he had no idea where he was? This saddened Yugi and he didn't want to think about it because it made him upset. Yugi kept on walking and came to a small field. There, he saw a small doe and her young baby. She looked at Yugi as if to say,'Where are you going, strange creature?' Even though the deer ignored the fact that Yugi was there, it made Yugi feel confident that if the deer could be together with every threat known to man, then he could do the same with Yami. A small noise met Yugi's ears. A small, but sweet tune of an instrument. The deer perked up and walked toward the sound. Yugi followed closely because it might be a person who was playing. Sure enough, when Yugi came to a stop beside of the deer, he saw a person sitting on top of a boulder.
Yami sighed and sat with his knees to his chest, head resting on his knees, and a look of sorrow across his features.He was tired, but was worried at the same time. He was worried about his light, Yugi. Wondering if he was okay out in the forest. Yami shivered. He had only the clothes on his back to keep him warm.
"Hello?" a soft voice asked.
Yami turned his head in the direction of the voice to see a woman in her early 20's looking sadly at him. Since Yami sensed no threat, he turned his head away and ignored her presence.
"Um, I brought you something to eat."
Yami sighed,"I don't want anything to eat. Thank you, but I'm not hungry."
"Please, you've been down here for a few days with nothing to eat or drink."
"Please leave me in peace. Let me grieve alone. I have nothing left in this world, except for Yugi."
The woman set down the tray and sat beside of Yami. The Pharaoh didn't know how to react and decided to stay where he was.
"This Yugi, he means something to you, doesn't he?"
Yami looked up at her and smiled.
"Yes. Yugi means the world to me. I love him so much, that it hurts to be away from him. I wish that I could see him. I miss him so much."
"There is a way you can see him."
Yami looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"I-I can? How?"
"I can show him to you. Watch."
She waved her hands in a circle in front of her and chanted an incantation. Silver mist appeared out of nowhere and made a circle with a bright white light shining in the middle. When the light dimmed, Yugi's form was shown. Yami reached out to the mist as if he were able to touch Yugi. The mist twisted between his fingers and across his palm. Tears came to Yami's eyes. But they weren't tears of saddness, they were from happiness.
"Yugi," Yami whispered,"If only I could touch you again and hear your sweet voice."
The woman smiled at Yami.
"Are you happy?"
"Yes, but I wish that he was here with me. He must be so tired, so cold, so lonely..."
Yami sighed and closed his crimson eyes. A silent tear fell down his cheek.
"Can you bring him here?" Yami asked sadly.
"I wish I could. But I can only show him to you. I'm sorry if I caused you more harm than good."
"No it's alright. I'm glad that you could show him to me," Yami sighed as the image of Yugi and the circle disappeared.
Yami picked up an orange from the tray and started to peel it with his nails.
"So," Yami started,"What is your name by the way?"
"My name is Allison, or Allie if you like."
"Thanks Allie, for everything."
Allie smiled at him,"No problem!"
Suddenly, a more sinister and seductive voice sounded.
"My dear sister Allison, why are you socializing with this prisoner?"
"Because, Silvara, he just needed someone to talk to, that's all."
"Really?"
Silvara glanced at the Pharaoh. Yami glared at her, signaling that he didn't like her. Silvara smirked and put her eyes back on her sister.
"Whatever you say, Allison. But be warned, Master would not like it if he caught you talking to him. Besides..."
Silvara walked over to Yami and ran her cold fingers over Yami's cheek.
"...He could be dangerous and could turn on you in an instant."
Yami pulled his head away from her and stared at her with eyes of hatred.
"See what I mean, sister?"
"No, I don't. He's not a cruel person, Silvara. He's just an innocent teenager."
"You really believe that? Damn, you are so clueless."
"Silvara, don't start..."
"Now, sister, you need to leave. Because Master has ordered me to come find you and send you to him."
Allie walked with an angry look on her face and glanced one more time at Yami and then left. Silvara walked over to Yami and kneeled down in front of him. She seemed to be looking him over, as Yami was doing at the moment. Silvara had long, silky black hair that ended at her waist. She was tall, about 5'6". Her eyes were of a piercing raven, just like her hair. But, she was not a normal person. She was a seductor and it frightened Yami. He wanted her away from him, but it wasn't going to happen.
"Master was right. You are as beautiful as he said."
Silvara put a hand on Yami's cheek and stroked it. The Pharaoh tried to get away from her, but she pulled him closer to her.
"Stay away from me,"Yami said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"What's wrong? I don't bite,"she said smoothly as she sat down on Yami's lap.
"Please, get off of me,"said Yami as he quivered from her touch.
She smiled and moved her face closer to his. Her lips were only a few inches away when Yami threw her off of him. Silvara glared at him and came back at him, her nails as sharp as a knife. She slashed at Yami, who in turn hit her with shadow magic. Silvara screamed as she was hit and a nail cut into Yami's cheek. The Pharaoh winced and moved back until he was against the wall. Silvara's hand went around Yami's neck tightly. Yami coughed as he stuggled to breathe. Her black eyes stared at him coldly.
"Now, now Yami. We can't have you attacking anyone now can we?"
"Just...let me go...Can't...breathe..."
Silvara smiled wickedly at him and squeezed tighter. Yami's hands flew around her wrist and tried to pry her hands from his neck.
"That's enough, Silvara," a calm voice said.
Silvara immediately released Yami, who dropped to the ground coughing. The enemy walked towards him and turned him over. Yami was then face to face with the man.
"Hello Yami. Ready for your punishment?"
"Punishment? For what?"
"When you attacked me earlier."
Yami stared fearfully into the chocolate brown eyes.
"W-What are you going to do to me?"
"This," he said as he held up his hand.
Yami's body went rigid and flew against the wall. He groaned in pain and soon found cold, metal chains bound tightly around his wrists and ankles. The Pharaoh started to panic. He was afraid of what this man would do to him and how he would get out of it.
The piper played a melodic tune that was hypnotizing to Yugi's mind. Suddenly, the tune stopped and Yugi saw the animals walk away. The piper jumped off of the rock and gracefully touched the ground. The snow crunched beneath her bare feet, but was not fazed by the cold. She walked over to Yugi and smiled at him.
"Hello, human, how are you?"
Yugi was slightly shocked that she would come and speek to him so openly.
"I'm fine."
"Really? Is that so?"
Her voice was warm and comforting. Yugi thought he could trust her, but he wasn't sure.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Your soul is uneasy, your mind is sad, and your heart is broken. Basically, you are depressed. Why is that? Maybe I can help you."
"I hope that you can. It would mean so much to me," Yugi said hopefully as he shivered.
"Come, let's go to my place and we'll talk all of this over."
They walked through the snow as the sun started to set. The walk was only a few minutes from the rock and they reached it in no time. The home was a small wooden cabin, something you would see going on a camping trip. The two walked inside and Yugi was immediately met with the faint smell of peppermint and the warmth of a fire.
"Please, sit down by the fire. I'll go and make us some tea."
Yugi sat down on a chair and stared at the flames as they danced in the fireplace. He couldn't stop thinking about Yami at all.
'I wish you were here, Yami. I miss you.'
"Here," the piper's voice sounded.
Yugi looked at her and then took the cup of tea and sipped it. It tasted like peppermint and Yugi sighed. The scent calmed him and he then looked over the piper. The piper had smooth brown hair that flowed to the middle of her back and dark blue eyes. She was tall, 5'5" to be exact. Her skin was the color of fresh milk with a slight tan to it. She wore navy blue jeans and a thin, black long-sleeve shirt.
"Um, what's you're name?" Yugi asked quietly.
"My name is Callie. And your's?"
"Yugi."
"Very well then. Tell me, why are you so depressed?"
"Because the one I love has been taken from me and I'm looking for him."
"How do you know that he is in the woods?"
"My heart tells me he's here. It tells me to keep going into the forest to find him."
"Really? Well, I might be able to help you find him."
"Is there anyway that I can speak to him? Right now?"
"You can't speak to him, but through my music, I can play what he is feeling."
"How?"
"Like this," Callie answered as she reached for her piccolo.
She played a sweet, harmonious tune that was calm and relaxing.
"That is how I'm feeling; calm and happy."
Then she played a sorrowful piece, as if someone's heart had been broken. It almost wanted to make Yugi cry.
"That is how you feel; upset and sad. My music can interpret how you're feeling at this very moment."
"So, you can do that to Yami? Find out what he is feeling right now?"
"Yes, but you must keep quiet for me to keep my concentration. Do not speak unless you want me to stop."
"Okay, let's get started!"
"Alright, hush now."
Callie placed the piccolo to her lips and her eyes closed in concentration as she invisioned Yami.
"Is he tall, a golden tan, tri-colored hair like your's?"
"Yes, that's him."
"I've found him then, let's hear what he's feeling."
Then, he blue eyes shot opened and the music started...
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: Cliffie...hate them, but I had to. Chapter 5 should be up soon since I finally have my internet back.
Yami: She loves to torture us, doesn't she?
Yugi: Yeah, she does.
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: But it makes for a really good story.
Yami: What is my punishment anyway?
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: You'll find out in the next chapter.
Yami: Damn you!
Pharaoh'sEgyptianArabian: Hehe! I'm sooo evil. Please leave me a review, thanx!
