AN: Okay so I know I used to put all the stuff there but it takes up to much space so now I will just do a collective THANK YOU!! And all my reviewers and readers ROCK! Oh yea I forgot to mention I don't own the characters unless I made them up, which I don't think I did in this chapter. Oh I also forgot to mention this chapter kind of circles around Ryuu because the others haven't, and I just kind of feel like it.
Chapter 10
Ryuu had heard rumors of his cousin's exhaustingly bad luck but had never experienced it first hand. Now that the young man had, Ryuu wished it had stayed a mystery. The blonde turned to said cousin. "Yugi, do you know either of those men?"
"Not that I know of, the one with violet eyes looks familiar but I may have seen him at my dad's parties before and just can't recall it." Ryuu nodded at the comment before sweeping the room with his chocolate brown eyes. It looked like a typical dungeon cell: one bed, one toilet, brick, dank walls, and a small amount of light coming in through from the torches outside the cell bars.
"We can't do anything else until they come back so why don't we start looking for a way out." Atem cut in Ryuu's mental observations and Yugi's attempt to remember the man at the back of his mind. The two royals agreed, and the three began a detailed inspection of their surroundings. Atem checked the bars to see if any could be pried loose. Yugi started pushing on the bricks of the cell walls; he figured the water had eroded a lot of the material that held the blocks together. Ryuu was searching high and low for anything that could be used as a weapon. His seemed to be the only search that was showing results. The bed's stone supports were almost crumbling from mildew and erosion, which left it open for a creative person like himself to take what he could and throw something together for the three of them to use.
"How is it coming over there?" Ryuu asked turning towards his comrades. Atem seemed to be failing miserably with the bars; they were stuck where they were. Yugi had made some progress with the walls; however, it was still a work in progress. None of them knew how much time had passed since they first started. The three were fairly certain that they were the only living people in the dungeon, or what they assumed was a dungeon.
"This is ridiculous. They haven't come back and we are jus stuck here." Yugi muttered. He was looked like he was about to continue but he was cut off by a loud bang from somewhere down the hallway Malik and Bakura had left from earlier. The caged group heard loud mutterings mixed with harsh cuss words. The noise got louder and Bakura appeared in front of the cell. He looked murderous. He held up a golden ring with spikes dangling from it and the millennium eye in the center. He muttered an incantation not understood by the others and they were once again enveloped in the suffocating black mass.
When Ryuu landed he felt any contents of his stomach emptying onto the floor. He had never experienced anything of the likes of that travel. Yugi and Atem were both trying to stop from retching. The group heard a command that didn't register at first until they felt hands grabbing them and putting them on their feet. Ryuu grabbed Atem's shoulder to stop from falling over. Slowly, Ryuu's eyes focused and he checked his surroundings. Yugi and Atem were both there with the same sick expression on their faces.
The room was larger then the one they were originally in and more grand. In front of them was a man sitting on a large chair staring at the three. He looked oddly like Malik but had a softer face. However, his eyes were cold and empty, unlike his look alike. He was flanked by Bakura and Malik. "Who are you?" Yugi demanded. Ryuu looked back at the man in the chair awaiting his answer. At first he looked angry but then he threw his head back and laughed. Ryuu looked over at Yugi and Atem, they had the same confused look on their faces. "Did I say something amusing?" Yugi asked out of both annoyance and confusion. Instead of an answer the man laughed harder. In between his laughs he managed to croak out an answer.
"I can't believe you don't remember me!"
AN: So another short chapter but I am updating I am going to add some more twists and turns but I just haven't figured out what they are yet. Also the ones who have waited like forever and still review are super awesome. So are the other readers of course. You all pretty much rock and have spurred me to keep going. I will gradually get back to long as all get out chapter just bare with me until I can get back into the groove of writing long chapters again. Thanks again guys!
