Chapter 7: Racing before Time Runs Out.

by: Anita Wildflower

At Mid-night

Everyone sits down in Seto's living room, all wore out from trying to find Katsuya, "Why don't we just break into the museum and take the ring, since it can track down people." Bakura said as he leans against the wall.

Yami sighs, "Was hoping that we can find him without resorting to stealing, but now we got no chose. Who knows when Ralph will strike." he said as he stands up.

Marik grins evilly, "Finally some action." he said as he licks his lips.

Malik hits Marik's arm, "Don't you go thinking of commenting any murders." he scold.

Marik looks innocent at Malik, "Of course not, hikari." he said.

Yami rolls his eyes, "I will watch over him, now lets move." he said.

The two yamis follow Yami out as they whisper to each other about gods know what as they lights shake their heads. Seto rubs his face, knowing the unspoken message from their stance as they walk pass him, that he is now the guardian over their lovers, just what he needed.

After sneaking though the night while keeping mostly in the shadows, they finally arrive at the museum, Yami looks at the other two and signs for them to go though the back door. Bakura signs okay as he sneaks along with Marik towards the back door, "Think we can get away with more then one item without the Pharaoh knowing about it?" Marik asked as he keeps a look at for any guards.

Bakura smirks, "If we can find anything small enough to fit into our pockets, just have to watch out for our lovers. They will search us, though that doesn't sound so bad." he said as he licks his lip.

Marik chuckles, "Oh yes, that sounds quite fun. Though we must focus right now before the Pharaoh comes to check on us." he said.

Bakura shakes his head from his pervert thoughts and gets back to work as he under locks the door, "You check the right side of the museum while I do the left side." he whispers as they sneak inside.

Bakura sneaks along the walls as he keeps his eyes on the four guards patrolling the area then notices the millennium items laying on a stand in the middle of the room under the glass case, 'Of course they would be put in the middle of the freaky place.' he thinks.

Noticing Marik on the side of the case hiding in the shadows, he gets Marik's eyes in a lock as he signs to get the guards notice. Marik smirks as he nods then 'clumsy' knocks over something, "Freeze!" one of guards said as the others come running over.

Marik pulls his innocent face, "Oh I am sorry, I didn't know the museum was close, the back door was left open so I thought it was alright to come in." he said.

While the guards drag Marik away as they told him that he shouldn't enter the back door even if it was open, Bakura uses his shadow powers to cover up the cameras as he gracefully makes his way over to the stand then makes a shadow hole in the glass then takes out the ring. Makes his way back outside as he signals Marik with his powers. Just outside, Yami hears the alarm go off as Bakura and Marik come running around the corner while laughing, towards him, "You weren't suppose to get caught, you idiots!" he yelled as he runs after them.

Bakura looks behind him, "Oh come on, its just half the fun as stealing." he said as Marik nods his head in agreement.

Yami shakes his head, "I don't know how your lights can put up with you." he said.

As they made it back to the mansion, the sun light just reaches them as it came into view from over the buildings, then they stop as they sense Ralph and quickly race back to the mansion. Their lovers look up from chatting, Yugi stands up, "What is wrong, Yami?" he asked.

Yami quickly pulls Yugi close to him, "He is here, I am not sure if we have enough time to get to him. We got to go though the shadow realm." he said.

Ryou and Malik stand up, "But we just got you back from there. We can't lose you again." Malik said as clutches his hands.

Yugi tightens his grip on Yami's shirt, "Promise me you won't let it take you away again, please." he said.

Yami kisses Yugi's forehead, "I promise, my love. There is no way I am giving up a second chance to be with you." he said.

Bakura leans against the wall as Ryou wanders over to him then he looks up at him, "Don't worry, hikari I won't let the darkness get into me again." he said as he lightly touches Ryou's cheek.

Seto gets up from the chair, "I am coming with." he said.

Yami looks at him then nods, "Make sure you stay close to us. The shadow realm is a unpredictable place." he said.

Seto nods his head, "I know and don't worry, my guards will watch over them." he said as he nods towards his personal guard.

Bakura pushes off the wall and makes a hole into the shadow realm, "If anything happens to them, I won't hold back." he said.

Yami bends down and lightly kisses Yugi then walks into the realm then Marik pulls Malik close to him and deeply kisses him as he rubs his butt, "We will be back." he said as he walks into the realm.

Bakura shakes his head as he watches Seto follow after the other two, "Don't leave this place." he said.

Lifts Ryou's chin up and slowly kisses him then walks into the realm closing it behind him.

Back to present time after Jou got knocked out by Ralph

Katsuya groans as he slowly wakes up, taking in the darken room with no windows in sight and tries to get up only to discover that he is tie down to the table, "Damn it, just my luck. Forgetting about the psycho chasing me." he whispers.

Hears laughter to his left side, "I finally got you back, now the power will be mine. Too bad we can't reunion my little slave, but got to work fast before the others come. I won't let my power to escape me again." Ralph said as he walks into Katsuya's eye sight.

Katsuya looks up at Ralph with sad eyes, "Then get it over with, no one would care." he said.

'Don't throw away your life, you mustn't let him have it!' a new voice ring into his mind.

'What is up with voices entering into my head. Who are you?" he thinks as he looks around the room.

'I am you in a way, we share a link. Though it has been hard to get into the link because Ralph put a powerful force on it. You need to get him talking, to give the Pharaoh time to get over here. They all coming for you even your Seth.' the voice said.

Ralph walks over to the other table where his items are, "Oh I plan to, you are so more obedient then my slave. Though he stills tries his best to stop me, seeing how he broke though my wall." he said.

'Seto...' he thinks as he looks towards Ralph.

"Do you still have him trap in that bracelet?" he asked.

Ralph walks back to Katsuya as he smirks, "Ah, the dear Pharaoh told you about that and yes he is still trap in it. Can't have his friends tracking him when he belongs to me." he said as he shows Katsuya his wrist where the golden bracelet is wrap around.

Katsuya feels sadness wash over him, 'Jono, hang in there. I am going to try my best to save both of us.' he thinks.

'I want to believe you, my hikari, but I know there is no way for me to be free from him..so many years..I won't ever be with Seth.' Jono thinks back as he shreds tears.

Katsuya closes his eyes as he feels tears in his eyes from the overwhelm sadness, "Tell me why you want this power, its the least you can do." he said.

Ralph chuckles, "I suppose so. You see, There is this story of person gaining the power of the light goddess if you can find her and unseal her. I try everything to get those powers for my own, but my little slave had gain them by finding her and saving her. So I took him in so that one day I can learn how to remove the powers from him, but when I had it all ready to go. He gives those powers over to you and had to wait forever for you to appear into this world." he said.

Ralph runs his fingers over Katsuya's chest as smirks at him struggling against the touch, "How can you still be alive?." Katsuya asked.

Ralph chuckles as he holds up a necklace which has a wind symbol hanging from it, "That is quite simple, I find this little wind creature and trap him into this. His power grants me control of the winds, but also immortal life." he said.

Katsuya eyes widen, "You are crazy. How could you do such a thing?" he asked

Ralph shakes his finger at Katsuya as holds a strange object over Katsuya, " Enough chatting, time for that power of yours to be mine." he said.

Lowers the object towards Katsuya as he closes his eyes, 'I tried Jono, please forgive me.' he thinks.

"Don't you dare touch him!" a voice yelled from behind Ralph which causes Ralph to spin around.

"My my, dear Pharaoh must of have been painful for you to use the shadow realm. All weak from the travel and now you plan on taking me in your curtain state." he chuckles, "Oh you amuse me, dear Pharaoh," he said.

"You are right, but I am not alone. We will defeat you once and for all Ralph." Yami said as the others stand beside him.
