CHAPTER 4:

Joey was dancing with Nina a slow song. She was a very good friend since he arrived to the academy. He had known her like a very gifted woman in her job and a trustful person. She was tall and slim, with dark brilliant hair and green eyes, she had light skin and her smile made the entire world shine, in Joey's perspective. He was having the time of his live.

-All this is so cool! Don't you think Joey? –she asked smiling

-Oh, yes, this is amazing –he answered at the time he made her spin

They continue dancing when Nina saw Pegasus and Kaiba walk through the crowd and into one of the nearby offices.

-I think Kaiba doesn't like to lose time, JeJe –she whispered in Joey's hear. He turned around and saw what Nina was saying. He nodded.

He noticed Serenity and Tristan dancing close to where he was and also he noticed Anzu and Yami were nowhere to be seen.

-Uh? –he mumbled and turned to look at all the sides but didn't spotted them

-You're searching for someone? –asked Nina looking around as well.

-Well… yes, Yami and Anzu. They were here dancing a few minutes ago –he said without stopping dancing –I wonder where these two had gone to spend the night –Joey smirked at the possibility.

-Joey, you don't think that… -Nina said catching his meaning

-Maybe… -was all Joey said when suddenly his cell phone rang

-Excuse me –he said and went to answer the phone dragging Nina with him out of the dance floor.

-Hello? –he said through the speaker, Nina just listened

-What? Wait, how… calm down ok, tell me what happened… where? Calm down… ok, ok, I'm walking –Joey said and hanged up his cell phone, then stared at Nina

-What happened? –asked Nina preoccupied by Joey's face

-It seems something happened to Yami, Anzu was so hysteric I couldn't understand her well, come on –he said walking at the time he called for Tristan.

-Tristan! Come, something had happened –he said as he arrived where Tristan and Serenity were dancing.

-What happened brother? –asked Serenity concerned

-It's Yami, Anzu just called me but she was so desperate that I couldn't understand well, she said they were at laboratory V, come on –Joey said walking towards the laboratory. Following close behind were Tristan, Nina and Serenity.

They arrived and saw the door slightly opened. Joey was the first one in enter but stopped at the scene. The others did the same.

They saw Anzu sobbing and hugging the limp body of Yami laying on the floor and strange golden objects in a box, but one in particular was around Yami's neck and it was shining. They didn't lose any more time. Joey and Tristan approached them quickly and kneeled besides Anzu. The girls just stayed behind Anzu with a shocked expression.

-Anzu, what happened? –Joey said while checking out Yami's pulse. It was weak.

-I…I… don't know…We were… checking this… when…this…light and… then –she stammered tears don't letting her talk normally.

-Anzu, calm down, he is going to be fine, wherever had happened to him –said Serenity grabbing Anzu, making her stand up and release Yami off her grip so Joey and Tristan could lift him. Anzu hugged Serenity burying her head into her shoulder.

Tristan passed Yami's left arm around his neck and Joey passed his right arm around his neck too. Both of them grabbed his waist for support. Nina stayed staring at the object on Yami's neck and proceeded to take it off.

-I think we have to take this off –she said and was going to touch the pyramid-shape object when she felt his hand get burned by a very high temperature.

-Ahhhh! –she exclaimed removing it immediately and grabbing her pained hand

-Nina! Are you alright? –asked Joey shocked by that strange success

-Yes, yes, I think, that thing tried to burn me –she said staring with a confused expression towards Yami.

His head was hanging limp as well as his body, his eyes were calmly closed like if he was dreaming and the strange object hanging around his neck didn't had stopped shining. Anzu, a little bit calmer by the presence of his friends suggested.

-We have to take him to his apartment. We can't let Kaiba or Pegasus know about this, please, we must hurry –she said motioning Joey and Tristan to walk

-And why Kaiba, or Pegasus? What is happening Anzu? –asked Joey not moving an inch.

-I will explain to you, to all of you in Yami's apartment, this is not the place, please, come on!

-This way, there is a kind of back-door for emergencies…like this –said Tristan walking fast as well as Joey carrying his unconscious friend. The others followed quickly behind.

They arrived to the back door and they opened it without obstacles. Then, they heard a distant voice yell.

-Hey! All of you! What do you think you are doing? Stop right now! –it was a kind of nocturnal guard.

-Uh oh –said Nina grabbing the doorknob and opening rapidly the door for the others to go out.

-Joey! Go ahead with him, we will follow you! –he said giving carefully all the height of Yami to Joey and he took off running with Anzu at his side.

-Serenity, Nina, go, I can handle it –he said towards the two girls and they nodded, so they took off running behind Joey

-Please Joey hurry up!-Exclaimed Anzu running besides him

-I'm doing all my legs can, calm down-said Joey carrying the body of his unconscious friend.

-Hey, you, why are you and your little friends at this side of the academy? –asked the guard signaling to the others with his finger and trying to follow them but Tristan stopped him

-You see… -Tristan whispered in his ear – We are going with some girls, and you know, we don't want anyone to know it, you understand me pal? –he asked making a very convincing perverted expression.

-Ahh, I get it –the guard responded as he took a look to one of the girls who were in the moment entering in the back of the car. He saw her legs and resulted the girl was Serenity.

-I understand what you mean, that girl is hot! –exclaimed the guard drooling all over. Tristan turned around and saw he was talking about Serenity.

-Well, stop that already! Don't tell anyone, ok? –Tristan said a little angry for his obscene comments towards Serenity handing him some money.

-I'm a tomb –the guard said and let Tristan walk through the door and then he closed it inside.

Tristan took off running towards the car before that guard repented of letting him go. When he arrived and got into the front car door, he saw that Joey had already started the engine, Nina and Anzu were in the back, both of them supporting Yami's still limp body. Tristan closed the door quickly and buckled up his seat belt.

-Pal, show me what you got! –said Tristan and in the instant Joey started driving at high speed towards Yami's apartment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A thick and cold fog involved his body, also he felt he was laying on a kind of floor but at the same time he felt that he was hanging in the emptiness of the darkness. He tried hard of opening his eyes and he succeed it. A blaze of light welcomed his iris and he had to close them again. His hands moved to feel the floor and got his body in a sit position. He rubbed his eyes and tried again to open them. This time, his eyes were slowly adjusting to the light that surrounded the place. A question shot through his mind. If there was so much light, why he felt so much cold? His breath confirmed it when it formed tiny clouds on the air every time he exhaled.

In front of him was a kind of altar made in pure gold. That is why the light was so overwhelming when he opened his eyes. He stood up and noted he was wearing the tuxedo of the party. The party! Anzu, he heard her scream.

-Where the hell am I!-he screamed inside his mind.

He walked towards the altar that seemed to be calling for him in some way. When he approached it, he felt the need of kneel in front of it and he was about to, when a hand on his shoulder stopped him of doing that. He was startled and turned around to see who was with him. He saw a gently girl wearing ancient robes, with a strange hat in her hair, dark brown hair and brilliant eyes. She had a wand in her other hand and was kindly smiling to him.

-You should not kneel, my prince–she said slowly caressing his cheek with her hand

Yami felt a chill running down his spine by her warm touch and he widened slightly his eyes now very confused. Who was this girl? And why was calling him prince? He stared at her hand that was gently caressing his cheek and took note that he was no more wearing his tuxedo. He was wearing ancient robes with a lot of gold jewelry all over his body and a red cap that reached the floor. He then focused his attention again towards the girl.

-My prince! You are so cold! –she exclaimed calmly

-Who are you? –he asked staring intensely at her eyes for some answers.

-JeJe –she giggled –Oh, prince, right! You don't remember me. -She said and stopped her caress - But your stare hadn't change a bit –she said like remembering something.

-Where am I? Why don't you want me to kneel? And why are you calling me prince? –he asked getting the nerves for this strange situation.

-You are asking a lot of questions, don't you? Oops! –she said covering her mouth with both hands –I'm sorry, I shouldn't address my prince like this, I'm so sorry –she said bowing deeply before him. Yami just raised an eyebrow.

-My name is Mana, and my prince shouldn't bow before the dark magic, and of course that never, before a fake god altar. You are the pharaoh, you shouldn't kneel anybody. –she finished knelt and still bowing in front of him.

-What?-he mumbled and turned around to see the altar.

There on the table was a strange big book, with golden strips all over and an eye in all it center. He was so confused. And that girl named Mana continued talking.

-I'm very happy I finally had found you, my prince. I missed you so much, and we all need your help. The peace and the control of the forces that reigns the world had being disturbed, and a great chaos is approaching at least you do something. You are the only one that had the power to do something, by the good of all the people. This dark magic is awakening and if that happens, the world is going to be doom, I don't know how this is happening all over again, it was supposed to end that day, but is happening… –she talked all that in less than ten seconds. She then raised her eyes to meet those of her prince.

-Mana, I don't understand anything you are saying.

-Relax, I will explain it to you when the time comes, now you must prepare your mind for this entire new mission.

She saw him put a hand on his forehead, his eyes shut tight, and also he was losing balance.

-Prince? –she asked lifting herself up and moving forwards close to him.

All that information was so overwhelming that suddenly he started to feel a strong headache, why was this girl telling him all this? He was so lost in this stuff, and the girl wasn't helping him solve this much.

-What is happening to me? –he murmured now grabbing his head with both hands and taking steps back

-Pharaoh? –she asked again and grabbed his arm to support him.

-You're a cube of ice!! –she exclaimed concerned. He started to breathe agitated and to shake forceful.

Then, a light on the table coming from the eye of the book started to get stronger. She turned to look at it and immediately her face became a fear expression.

-No… I will not let you tear him apart! –she exclaimed towards the light

-JeJeJe, what are you going to do, Mana? You can't do anything as long as you are here… -a scary voice said

Mana just turned to look at his pharaoh and saw 'he' was doing something to him. Tears wetted up her face. Yami's face was changing and he felt something was trying to break through his heart.

-Mana… I don't feel well… -he said dizziness overwhelming him

-I can't lose you again… -she said and aimed her wand towards him.

Yami's eyes were becoming shine-less and strange marks were appearing at the side of his face.

-I will meet with you again, my prince –she said and mumbled some spell that made the voice scream

-You can't send him back!!! I control all this!!! –the voice yelled highly

Mana concentrated all her energy on doing so, and she finally succeeded, because when she opened her eyes, Yami was nowhere to be seen.

-Yes… I did it –she said and fell face down on the floor with a smile on her face

-We… will see each other… Yami… I promise…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joey parked the car in the garage and helped Tristan carry Yami towards his apartment. When they finally arrived, Anzu pushed the doorbell.

Yugi was at a very clean and organized room playing his favorite video game 'The legend of Zelda', on his Xbox. He was so excited by tomorrow. His brother had promised him a great day with his bests friends. They were going to go to that new amazing park, so he had done what his brother requested. His room was unrecognizable, and also he had done all his homeworks, so there was no excuse to not go.

-I can't wait for tomorrow to come! –he exclaimed concentrated in the screen of his tv. He felt so good that actually he was passing that hard level.

Suddenly the doorbell was heard and Yugi raised his eyes off the screen and looked at the clock in his room. '23:45'

-Who could possibly be? My brother had keys… -he murmured and got up of the bed heading for the door.

He half opened the door slightly and looked through it. He saw a pair of blue eyes he immediately recognized as Anzu. He opened widely the door.

-Anzu! Why are… -he stopped when he noticed Joey and Tristan carrying his unconscious brother. He widened his eyes with a shock expression in his face.

-Yugi, I will explain it, now guys, come on we have to put him on bed –she said grabbing Yugi's shoulders and making him enter on the apartment.

Joey and Tristan entered and went towards Yami's room; Nina followed closing the door behind her and locking it.

They put carefully to his friend on the bed who hadn't change his peaceful expression since they had found him on the laboratory.

-What happened to my brother?!! –Yugi yelled going out of his shock, running towards Yami and hugging him with tears threatening on going out of his eyes.

-I think now Anzu can explain all to us –Joey said taking a chair that Tristan had bring of the living room for Nina, Joey and him.

-What's this? –Yugi asked staring at the golden object and went to touch it but Joey stopped him with a shout.

-No! Yugi don't touch it! –Joey said and Yugi just looked at him

-That thing tried to burn Nina a while ago, don't touch it –he said staring at Nina who stared at her hand.

-It's true –she said to Yugi who turned to look at the object and then to his brother

-Please, Anzu, tell me what happened to my brother! –Yugi again was losing his temper

-I will start for the very beginning. –she said

Anzu told them everything, the suspects of Yami towards Seto and Pegasus, the strange figures he had seen on the laboratory V, almost all that had happened that night, and the strange golden objects that were there.

-And now you see that thing stuck on Yami's neck, that's all. –she finished

All were in silence assimilating all the information Anzu had given to them. Suddenly, on Yami's forehead glowed a golden light, all at once, his eyes shot-opened and stranges symbols appeared below his left eye covering all the side of his face and shining brightly as they turned up. His eyes were blank and he took a sit position on the bed.

-What the hell—Joey as well as the other stood up quickly taking a step back.

-Brother? –Yugi asked approaching him again slowly and taking his hand carefully.

Yami stood staring at the front, with his eyes blank no pupils were there. The shine of the symbols on his face started to be less intense and all of them could see that the left side of his face was covered by hieroglyphics, but obviously they couldn't understand it.

-Yami? Can you hear us? –Joey said approaching him as well as Anzu, Tristan and Nina behind all of them. She was so scared by seeing his friend like this.

Yami seemed to not being listening at Joey, because he moved his head at the side to confront Yugi's stare. Some tears traveled Yugi's face by seeing his brother blank expression and those strange symbols on his face.

-Brother… -Yugi barely whispered gripping more strongly his brother hand – I want you to be normal again, please… please…

His plea seemed to work, because in that instant, Yami closed his eyes and exhaled strongly and loudly enough for all them to hear, as if he was carrying a great burden. The symbols started to disappear and the shine on his forehead faded. Yugi didn't release in any minute his hand, instead he tightening his grip on it.

Yami opened his eyes again and they were their normal color, and looked very confused towards Yugi. He didn't have time to ask how he got there when Yugi throw himself on top of him, crying very loudly and desperate.

-Brother! I was so scared! I don't want anything bad happen to you! –he whispered sobbing on his ear.

-Yugi… -Yami mumbled at the time he hugged him back.

Yami stared at his surroundings and meet with the worry expressions of all his friends, especially of Anzu. He stared to Anzu a little more, and then he closed his eyes pushing Yugi gently off him.

-Guys… something is happening to me… -was all he could said in the moment.
