Annime: What up?

Yugi: Annime does NOT own Yugioh or anything belonging to someone else!

Yami: Enjoy!

Chapter 10 (YES!)

Yugi went into his library. He was in shock at what happened. He was betrothed…but he kissed someone completely different. The one he loved? ...Yes the one he loved. He had finally cried himself to sleep when he heard a loud noise. His head shoot up as he looked around. Everything was quiet…

"Ahh!" Someone had grabbed Yugi from behind and picked him up. Yugi felt something sharp against his neck.

"If you're quiet, I won't kill you right here and now." The man's voice was familiar, one he had definitely heard before. Yugi was obedient and shut up fast. The sharp object left his neck and the man raced out of the hole that was in the wall of the library.

'So, that's what I heard. The wall being broken into,' Yugi thought. The man then jumped and landed on a cushioned truck bed. Yugi then screamed, but a cloth was put over his face to keep him from screaming too long.

The man's efforts didn't work for him as the sirens of the palace and all the guards raced to the gates to catch up with the kidnappers.

Yami woke up and entered the hall. The hall was flooded with people crying in anger and pacing.

"What's going on?" Yami asked after he ran towards Atemu.

"Yugi's been kidnapped!" Atemu grabbed the shocked and worried Yami and ran towards the throne room.

"What are we going to do?" Yami shouted as they ran through the doors and meet everyone. Yami had tears in his eyes.

"We are going to hunt them down, that's what!" The Pharaoh paced in anger. He was almost sure he knew who took his nephew.

"Well, I'm leaving now!" Yami shouted in fear, sadness, and anger. He raced out of the palace to jump on a white horse.

"Yami!" Heba was running after Yami and everyone else was following him. "Don't go off by yourself!"

"Yea, I'll come with you!" Atemu grabbed the nearest horse by its ruins and jumped onto its back. Yami looked at his brother and they nodded at each other. The brothers raced out of the gates, and to their surprise, Duke, Bakura, Melvin, Marik, Joey, Tristan, and Heba were following them. Atemu and Yami didn't argue, they just headed the direct that they were told Yugi's kidnappers went. Yami promised he would save Yugi…his love.

"Let me go!" Yugi struggled in the man's grip. He had just woken up after…an hour… two hours? "Ah!" Yugi was dropped to the ground and then the poor boy heard a door shut and lock. He could really see because something was covering his eyes. He reached up and felt something around his head and untied what he felt to be a bandana. Yugi looked around and gasped. He was in a padded room, kinda where you'd find a psycho. 'They need to be in here!' Yugi thought, 'not me!' Yugi stood up and ran to the door. "Let me out!" Yugi heard a man laugh.

"Oh, little Yugi." The man laughed after using his Egyptian Arabic language. "Why would I want to let you go?"

Yugi growled at the man and hit the door. He winced in pain. The door was solid steal.

"Why do you want me?" Yugi could hear another chuckle before the man answered his question.

"Well, you'll soon be married. You're worth more now, and you are the heir without the right. Zorro or Belteal should have the throne." The man laughed yet again as he heard Yugi gasp.

"Y-you're the man who tried to kidnapped me before! You cut lo-friend's hand!" Yugi could believe that he was about to say 'love's hand'. He shook his head trying to clear those thoughts again. "Let me go, or you'll get in even more trouble!"

"I'll get in trouble if it means you not taking the throne!" The man hit something in the other room in anger.

"Why are you so mad that I'm the heir?" Yugi wanted to know this for the longest time. Now, he could finally get his answer.

"We don't need a stupid American on the throne!" the man screamed.

Yugi was stunned. He thought it was because of him, he wasn't born with the Pharaoh as a father. No, it was because he lived in American. This angered Yugi to a whole new level. How DARE he judge him for being American? Yes, he had troubles in the past dealing with accepting himself as an American, but that changed on 9/11. He could see how caring people were and how everyday people helped like heroes. He also felt the anger and pain at what he saw, just like you and I did, ladies and gentlemen! After that experience, he no longer hesitated saying the National Anthem.

"What!" Yugi screamed so loud that it even echoed in the kidnapper's room. "That's why you don't like me? I may be American, but I'm every bit as Egyptian as you!"

"No, not anymore!" The man was getting angrier. "Once you left, you were no longer part of my country!"

"I will ALWAYS be a part of the Egyptian society!" Yugi's fear had completely fled him, and he wasn't going to back down in this fight.

The man opened the door and his hand went around Yugi's neck. Yugi struggled to get out of the man's grasp, but, instead, everything went black.

Yami rushed to the door of the old warehouse they had tracked Yugi's kidnapper to. Yami busted the door down in one kick and raced into the room. He saw a man with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"What do you want?" The man's voice had a heavy Arabic acent.

"Where's Yugi?" Atemu cried as the rest of the guys who had followed Yami and Atemu ran into the room after him.

"Oh!" the man said in fake realization. "Do you mean…him?" The kidnapper held up the unconscious heir.

"Let him go!" Yami said through his teeth. Yami had finally come to terms with the fact that he loved Yugi after all these years. He wasn't about to lose him because someone didn't 'like' him.

"I don't think so," The man dropped Yugi to the ground and kicked the boy in his side pretty hard. Yami snapped! The kidnapper wasn't able to get out of the way in time to keep himself from being tackled by Yami. But, the man could get out his gun. He fired at Yami on top of him, but Yami moved enough to where it didn't hit him. Yami then grabbed the gun from the man's hand and tossed it to the floor. Kp (_The name I'm giving the kidnapper…its getting ridiculous!_) was finally able to push Yami off of him. He quickly grabbed a sword from his side and swung it at Yami. Yami dodged skillfully. He had done ths many times before in the 'past'. (_get it, 5,000 years ago. Yugi: how is that funny? Annime: Never mind!_)

"Yami!" Yami dodged another blow to the side and looked over at Atemu. "Catch this!" Atemu tossed him a sword. Yami grabbed the sword by its handle, still dodging blows from the enemy's sword. He had only just noticed that the rest of the guys were fighting men that came out of nowhere. They must be Kp's goons. Yami turned back to his own fight and surprised Kp with his skill. Kp started to looked scared, but he didn't let up. The swords continued to clank against each other until Kp started to lose hope. Kp was now more nervous than before, so he grabbed another sword that he held at his side and took a slice off Yami's left leg.

"Owwww!" Yami cried. His leg was bleeding now, and he felt it slowly grow weaker.

"Give up!" Kp yelled.

"Never!" Yami cried as he stuck the bottom of the man's pants, nailing him to the floor with h is sword. Kp couldn't get his pant leg to even rip as Yami skillfully grabbed the swords from the man's hands. Yami turned and saw back up had finally arrived, and he slowly faded into blackness…

"YAMI!" Yami opened his eyes to stare into beautiful amethyst eyes.

"Yugi?" Yami asked, sitting up.

"Yea," Yugi replied quietly. His heart was pounding too hard for him to do anything else, and his heart pounded even faster as Yami moved his head closer to Yugi's. Yami caressed Yugi's cheek with his right hand and Yugi leant into the touch. Their lips were so close to touching…but Yugi stood up from his knees. "I'm sorry, Yami, but I can't do this! You've been out cold for days! I'm going to get married in four days! I can't just walk out on her!" Yugi had tears in his eyes from his confused feelings.

"Wait! I couldn't have been out that long!" Yami protested. "And…what does that have to do with anything anyway?"

"It doesn't! All I need to say is…I hope we can still be friends." With this, Yugi walked out of the room, leaving Yami…his love.

"Yugi…" Yami couldn't get more than that whisper out before he started to cry. You wouldn't imagine him crying, but he couldn't stand the idea of Yugi being in someone else's arms. How long had he been out? 'Let's see…it was 2 weeks between the day Yugi was kidnapped and his wedding day. Now…there was four days until the day Yugi would be out of my arms forever.' Yami's tears welded in his eyes again as he thought this. 'Ok, ok, think! Now, that day was…a Wednesday…so…TEN DAYS! I lost THAT much blood!' Yami had lost that much blood in the fight. The cut was deeper than he had previously thought. Yami stood up, but it took a while for him to find his balance. Yami grabbed the cane that was placed by his bed and walked out into the hallway. He looked to see if he could find anyone around, but the hall was empty. Yami sighed as he walked towards his brother's room to look for him. He needed someone to talk to.

"Well, well. Our plan seems to have had a delay, but I think it will work out well enough." Man number one laughed at man number 2's observation.

"Yes," number one said. "I'm glad we told the Pharaoh about this! It is brilliant! And, with Yugi's kidnapper out of the way, it can work even better!"

"Let's go, we have business to tend to," number two said. And with that, the two mystery men walked off, smiling at what would soon happen.

Annime: What did so think? Yea, some of it was rocky for me, but I think I got better. I was getting a little impatient, I guess.

Yugi: Who the f**k are those men.

Annime: You'll find out.

Yugi: Kristy?

Kristy: Don't look at me! She won't tell me!

Yami: I think we'll find out at the end, Aibou.

Yugi: I guess…but who's side are they on?

Kristy: Please review!

Yugi: HEY! Nobody answered my question! (Pouts)
