dragonchild247: Ninth chapter. Ok. Here we go.
Banzai!
ATEMU'S RESCUE
Yugi opened one eye when he felt the motorcycle slow down. He heaved a heavy sigh, but his heart was pounding from fright. He looked up and saw a large mansion blocked by a tall, iron fence and gate. He had heard Atemu talk about this place once, so he knew it was the Yushiro Mansion. He hopped off the motorcycle and fell to his knees, bowing his head.
Rosa laughed. "Scared were you?" She teased.
Yugi nodded. He looked up when he saw her hand held out, took it, and was helped to his feet. "I guess this is it." He muttered.
"Yup." Rosa replied. She tucked her bright purple streaked bans behind her ear. She felt a sort of dread being near the mansion and it made her feel uncomfortable.
Yugi walked up to the gate and pushed, but the gate wouldn't budge. "Locked." He growled.
Rosa jumped over the tall, iron gate, and landed lightly on the other side. Then she picked the lock and opened the gate, allowing Yugi in and closed the gate behind him. "C'mon, but we better be careful. I can sense vampires patrolling this area."
Yugi nodded and followed the black haired beauty towards the mansion, but they kept to the shadows. Atemu better be alive. He thought.
Only Fate can determine out luck. Thought Rosa. And hopefully, Fate will allow us to find Atemu.
Atemu opened his eyes and found himself in his old bedroom of the Yushiro Mansion. He was lying in his old bed. "Back stabbing bastard." He growled. "Literally." He slowly sat up and sighed. "I should have known that would happen." He swung his legs over the side, stood, and went to the window.
There was movement outside in the shadows. Then two figures appeared and they were all too familiar to the Pharaoh. They were Yugi and Rosa. What on Earth were they doing here and why?
Atemu moved away from his window, headed to the door, and tried to open it. His hand was electrocuted and a seal appeared on the doorknob. "A seal to repel vampires." He told himself. "Obviously, something Hito taught Reva. He really doesn't want me to leave, does he? And where is Hito keeping Kaiba? What powers does Kaiba possess that Hito wants so badly?" He went back to the window and tried to open it. His hands were electrocuted and the same seal appeared. "Clever old bastard, but I refuse to stay."
Hito was determined to keep the Pharaoh and get whatever Kaiba had that made him special.
Hito sat in a chair inside a dark room with no windows on the third floor. He was done torturing Kaiba for the time being. "It just does not make any sense." He muttered. "I figured they would appear under enough stress. So far, it hasn't worked." He snarled for a moment and then he grinned. "Perhaps I have been looking at it wrong. Perhaps I should try a different way to stress him out. Physical pain is not always enough. Perhaps he needs emotional pain." He clicked his fingers.
Reva entered, bowed,and said, "Yes, Yushiro-sama?"
"Tend to Seto Kaiba." Hito ordered.
"Yes, Yushiro-sama." Reva replied. She bowed again and left.
Hito sneered when the white haired girl was out of the room. "I better be careful with Rosaleta's visits with Seto Kaiba." He said softly to himself. "She might fall in love with him and turn against me." He chuckled to himself. "But she would have to free her mind from my hold if she is to succeed at that."Then he laughed aloud, which seemed to reverberate off the walls.
Rosa shuttered when she stopped. She had heard the sound of evil laughter near by and it frightened her for a moment. She hid in the shadows when she saw a girl a year older than her came down the hall towards her. She held her breath as the girl past. She had a horrible sense of familiarity with the girl and realized it was the girl she had met in a bookstore just three days before. Reva. She thought. She's a maid here?
Reva past the black haired beauty without seeing her. She was carrying an oil lamp in one hand and a small, black bag in the other. Then she stopped momentarily and turned around.
Rosa's body became rigid as she tried to blend into the shadows. She stared into the white haired girl's blue eyes that were dark—a sign she was in a trance—with her own sapphire blue eyes. She silently begged to the Moon for Reva not to see her.
Reva turned away and continued on. If she had seen the black haired beauty, then she had pretended not to see her very well.
Rosa sighed and crept down the hall in the opposite direction of the white haired beauty. She had past a door when she felt a sudden pain that surged quickly through her and was numbed by something. Then she lost consciousness and remembered nothing.
Yugi found a door and sensed Atemu behind it. He opened the door and peered inside.
Atemu was sitting alone in the bedroom. "Hello, Aibou." He muttered. "How'd you get here?"
"Rosa." Yugi answered stepping inside. "C'mon. Let's get out of here."
Atemu rose to his feet. "All right." He said under his breath. He followed the smaller out. He remained silent for a very long time as they walked. He sensed Hito near by and his head perked up as he stopped.
Yugi stopped and turned.
Atemu turned and fell into shock.
Hito held an unconscious Rosa with an arm around her neck. "I should have guessed there would be unwanted guests in my home." He mocked. "And, Atemu, you were trying to leave with one of them."
"So what?" The Pharaoh shouted.
"I cannot believe you sank so low." Hito continued. "Humans are so frail, and so easy to manipulate."
Atemu's violet eyes turned crimson. He let out an animalistic growl and attacked.
Hito dodged and tossed Rosa to the ground like a rag doll. Then he struck the Pharaoh in the face.
Atemu stumbled back and charged at his sire again. Then he jumped into the air and kicked Hito in the face. When he landed, he punched Hito in the chest.
Hito fell backwards. He was surprised by the Pharaoh's sudden strength. When he got back up he let out a vampiric roar.
