Inu: Sigh "I think my muses abandoned me."
Heba: Vein pops in forehead "Oi! Don't blame your laziness on us!"
Inu: Glare "I'm not lazy I simply am stuck and you're not helping me like you're supposed to be!"
Yugi: Smiles "Ignore them. We hope you enjoy the new chapter."
Chapter 11- The Rescue
Yugi, Yami, Bakura, Ryou, Marik, Malik, Atemu and Heba were sitting, observing and scanning the area behind the bushes at the left side of the cabin. The cabin looks like a mini-mansion. The gang was confused. They didn't know why on earth the Mazaki needed a mansion in America and Japan; and at the same time, a mini-mansion in the outskirts of Domino and even Tea who is part of the family could not answer that question.
The cabin was made out of brown woods and had two floors and an attic. From their place, they could see the dining room where Anzu was sitting as she plays the piece of the puzzle that she took.
Yami growled possessively at the scene wanting to go inside and rip the puzzle from her.
Atemu looked to Yami and sighed, "Are you ready?"
Yami mumbled swear words in Egyptian and stood up. "Yes, I'm ready."
Yugi gave Yami a soft smile as an encouragement even though it was contrary of what he really feels. "You can do this, Yami. Remember… we have to save Kairi. And don't worry, we are right behind you."
Yami looked at Marik and Malik, "You better be."
After that, Yami headed to the front door of the cabin and knocked on the door. He was sighing while waiting for the door to open. Anzu opened the door and squealed when she saw Yami.
"Yami-kins! You came back!" She squealed and jumped into Yami's arms.
Yami cringed at the squeal and reminded himself. 'This is for Yugi and Kairi. I can do this.'
"Hey, Anzu!"
Anzu pulled back and smiled at him. "What made you come here?"
"Kairi. Now where is she, Anzu?" Yami stated anger evident in his voice, and Anzu's eyes darkened.
"I'll never tell you anything." She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes lustfully. "Now kiss me, Yami."
Yami looked at Atemu from the corner of his eyes. Atemu just nodded and Yami sighed. He leaned in and pressed his lips to Anzu's. 'Pretend its Yugi. Don't think anything or anyone else.' Yami remember what Atemu has said to him earlier. 'I swear when this is over, Atemu is dead.' Yami thought feeling like he wanted to puke. 'What did I see in her?' Yami questioned himself.
~Behind the bushes~
"That is the sickest thing I have ever seen." Bakura commented and the others agreed.
Even though it was just an act, Yugi could feel his heart was torn into pieces. It was the same pain when he caught Yami and Anzu kissing on the couch 6 years ago. He knows that it wasn't real but seeing Yami and Anzu kissing again it brought bad and sad memories back. Yugi didn't know if Yami still had feelings for Anzu.
'I mean it's Anzu who cheated and left Yami, not the other way around. Yami might still harbor some feelings for Anzu.' Yugi reminded himself but the thought make his fragile heart ache more.
Atemu turned to Marik and Malik. "Alright guys, she's already distracted. You both ready?"
Malik nodded and looked at Marik. "I really want to do this."
Marik rolled his eyes. "You always get all the fun, fine."
Marik and Malik stood up and snuck from the bushes to the other side part of the cabin. They hid against the wall and Malik pulled out the Millennium Rod. He smirked and held it out towards Anzu and concentrated causing it to glow.
Anzu suddenly stopped kissing Yami as her eyes began to cloud. Yami pulled back, wipe his lips with his left arm and smirked. 'About time… I think I'm going to use a whole tube of toothpaste and a whole bottle of mouthwash wash when I get home.' Then he turned to others, "All clear. Malik has already controlled her mind."
Everyone ran towards them and Malik held up the Millennium Rod to Anzu. "Take us to Kairi!"
Anzu stared dazed for a second before she leaded them to the attic where she was keeping Kairi with the others following her. When Anzu stop in the front of the attic's door, everyone could clearly hear the soft sobs behind the door. Yugi wanted to jump Anzu and rip her heart out for all the pain she has caused him and his daughter. Yami looked Yugi from the corner of his eyes with concerned. Yugi waited impatiently as Anzu unlocked the door. When the door was unlocked, Yugi pushed her out of the way causing her to fall on her ass and ran inside the room.
Kairi was curled up in a small ball on the bed sobbing. She didn't even bother to look up and see who had burst inside the room fearing for the worst.
Yugi's protective father instincts kicked in. He ran towards her and placed a hand on Kairi's shoulder. "Kairi, Tenshi, its Papa… please look at me."
Kairi snapped up when she heard her father's voice. She looked at Yugi with red, watery and puffy eyes. She looked him closer and poked him as if he was just an illusion. Deciding her papa is real; she threw herself into his arms and buried her face in his chest bursting into heavy sobs again.
Yami was so mad when he saw his daughter's distress. He grabbed Anzu by the collar of her shirt and shook her. "What the Ra were you thinking kidnapping my daughter?"
Anzu just stared at him with blank eyes.
Malik sighed and held the rod up. "This will be getting annoying if I have to command her to answer every question by someone who asks her."
Marik laughed and rolled his eyes, "Just order her to answer every question asked."
Malik froze and looked at Marik. "Why didn't I think of that?"
He then turned to Anzu and commanded, "Anzu, my puppet, I order you to answer every question that will be asked."
Anzu's eyes flashed and looked at Yami. "I didn't think anything but to steal you away from your whore."
Yami clutched her tighter then threw her roughly to the ground.
Anzu yelped in pain like a wounded dog.
Kairi flinched and Yugi held her tighter. He then turned to Malik. "I'm taking her home…" Yugi paused for a second before taking a deep breath to calm himself. "I need you to command Anzu to write a letter. I need her to write that she did kidnap Kairi, the reason why she had done it and because of guilt or something… she decided to let Kairi go so the police will not question me anymore about how Kairi got home…"
Malik nodded and got Anzu to do what Yugi had said.
Yugi picked Kairi up in bridal style and turned to Ryou and Heba. "Can you two come with me and help in taking care of Kairi? I'm sure you don't need to stay and see what they are going to do with her."
Ryou shivered at the thought of what Bakura may do to her.
Heba nodded. "Sure, Yugi."
Yugi turned to Yami with burning anger on his eyes. "Don't go easy on her."
Yami flinched at the sight and nodded.
"When you're done, please come to the game shop. Kairi will need both of her parents." His eyes softened and his voice was pleading as he shifted Kairi in his arms. She passed out long ago in his arms.
Yami smiled and approached Yugi.
"Of course, Yugi. I promised I'll be there for both of you." He answered as he placed a hand on Yugi's Shoulder.
Yugi nodded ignoring the heat that radiated from Yami's touch. Then he turned to Heba and Ryou, nodded his head and the three left the place.
Yami turned to Malik, Marik, Bakura and Atemu. "Is she done yet?"
Malik nodded and handed the letter to Yami. "You may not like what the letter contains, Yami."
Yami gave him a strange look before reading the letter.
To whom it may concern:
My name is Anzu Mazaki. Two days ago, I kidnapped the daughter of my ex-boyfriend, Yami Sennen. Her name is Kairi Moto. I kidnapped her because I wanted Yami to look for me so I could force him to be mine again. However, I had no intention of releasing Kairi but instead when I got Yami back, I was planning to kill her and her other father, Yugi Moto.
But due to extreme guilt, I decided to release Kairi.
~ Anzu Mazaki
Yami clutched the letter tightly and handed it back to Malik. He felt his blood boil and he just wanted to kill Anzu right then and there.
Atemu walked over and put a hand on Yami's shoulder. "Relax, Yami. She never got the chance to kill them. Now, do you have any question that you want to ask her?"
Yami looked back at Atemu with extreme confusion on his face.
Atemu sighed. "She left you, remember? And then she stalks and wants you back again. Aren't you at least a bit of curious why does she do that?"
Yami shrugged but none the less turned to Anzu. "Why did you dump me?"
Anzu rolled her eyes. "Because I got what I wanted from you… Sex."
Yami was shocked. He stared at her with wide eyed. "What?"
Anzu rolled her eyes again. "Surely you're not that stupid, Yami. The only reason I wanted you was because of sex and the fact that you're unbelievable hot, and being with me would make other women jealous."
Yami at this point was ready to send her to the shadow realm and never let her return regardless of what the cops would think. 'I can't believe I gave up Yugi for-for-… for this WHORE!' Yami screamed in his head.
"I am such an idiot!" Yami said looking at Atemu with tears on his eyes.
Atemu shook his head. "No, you're not…" But Yami did not remove his stare from Atemu. "… okay, you are."
Bakura sighed. "Can we just please get on with the torture?"
Marik nodded in agreement and Yami sighed trying to hold his tears back. "What are we going to do with her?"
"Oh! A suggestions. Let me in! Let me in!" Malik beamed.
"I say we just open the shadow realm, throw her in and forget about her." Atemu said.
"Too boring… I suggest we summon our shadow creatures and let them eat her slowly." Marik suggested.
"Um… you realize if her body is here but her soul is in the shadow realm, the police will be suspicious and will start asking questions because basically she will be dead, right guys?" Malik pointed out and the others groaned in disappointment.
"I got it!" Yami said with an evil grin. "We can cast a shadow spell on her."
Atemu tilted his head in confusion. "What type of spell, Yami?"
"One where, she will think that she was being ripped apart by our shadow creatures, but she's not." Yami said.
"You mean like hallucinations?" Bakura said and Yami nodded.
"Can we add a little twist?" Malik asked.
"What kind of twist?" Marik asked.
"How about every time she looks in the mirror, she will see a hideous creature." Malik said and the others grinned.
"I love it!" They all said in unison.
~In the meantime~
Yugi was getting worried and upset. Every time he touches Kairi she would flinch away and freaked out and it was beginning to scare Yugi.
He was currently in the kitchen with Heba and Ryou. Kairi passed out on the couch a few moments after they got home. He told the others she was back but he warned them to stay away in order to give her time to calm down.
"My daughter. MY OWN DAUGHTER IS AFRAID OF ME! She thinks that I'm going to hit her!" Yugi cried as he looked at his brother and friend for some answers.
Heba sighed and hug his brother. "Yugi, I know this is hard for you and I'm sorry. I think you should bring Kairi to a psychologist."
Yugi nodded and sniffled a little. "I feel like I've let her down. I failed as a father."
Ryou sighed and put a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "Yugi, you didn't fail as a father. Anyway, the most important thing is that Kairi is okay."
Yugi shook his head. "I failed to protect the person who I was supposed to protect with my life and now she needs to see a psychologist because of my failure."
Heba sighed and spoke softly, "Yugi, listen to me. We became successful through failures. We have to first commit mistakes and fall down so many times in order to succeed. We can learn from the trials and experiences that we encounter. It's human nature to learn from the actions and mistakes that they've committed. Understand?"
Yugi nodded.
Then he heard Kairi's soft sobs and immediately went to her side.
~Back with Anzu~
Anzu was now released from Malik's mind control. She was currently huddled in a corner screaming from the top of her lungs. Because of the spell, she believed that Slifer, Ra, Diabound and Black Magician were slowly tearing her skin off her body. Unfortunately, this hallucination will only last for two days but the mental scar that was inflicted will be retained in her mind permanently. And every time she will look in a mirror, she will see herself as a hideous old, balding woman who has very many warts and pimples on her face.
Yami and the others were currently enjoying the scene until they heard the cops' sirens.
"Crap!" Bakura yelled running to the window.
"What are we going to do? From the sounds of it, they are already near." Marik said.
"Marik, do you think Malik can survive a little travel through the shadow realm?" Yami asked.
Marik shrugged. "He is a Hikari. The shadows may swallow him up but I will not allow that to happen." Marik pointed out.
"Well… it's our only choice." Atemu said as he and Yami open a portal.
"It will take us to the game shop." Yami said stepping into the portal.
~Game Shop~
Yugi was in the living room, softly stroking Kairi's hair as she slept calmly for the first time since they got home. Yugi took a deep breath only to let out a silent scream and fall on the ground as a huge black portal suddenly appeared in his living room.
Yami stepped out from the portal followed by Atemu, Bakura and Marik who was carrying Malik.
Yugi sighed. "You scared the crap out of me guys! Geez! By the way, when did you learn to do that?"
Yami chuckled. "Sorry, Aibou. And as for the portals, I could do it for a while, but since it's a shadow realm portal, it's too dangerous for the Hikaris to enter and that is why Marik was carrying Malik."
Kairi started to wake up as Heba and Ryou came into the room.
Yugi got up and sat besides Kairi again. He ran a hand through her hair slowly in order to get her back to sleep.
Ryou sighed. "How did it go?"
The Yamis and Malik started to tell them everything that happened after they left.
Just as they finished the story, the door bell rang.
Heba stood up since Yugi didn't want to leave Kairi. "Don't worry, Yugi. I will get the door."
Yami looked at Yugi. "Where is Jii-chan?"
"Um… He went to lie down." Yugi said. "I think he still feels like it's his entire fault."
"Yugi." Yugi turned to Heba and saw him leading Detective Dakarai in the living room.
Dakarai looked at Kairi. "So it's true. She really let Kairi go."
Yugi nodded and came up with a random lie. "Kairi was crying so hard when she came home and collapsed in my arms."
Dakarai nodded and wrote it down. "Anzu seems to be suffering from hallucinations. We believe she is very sick. We're going to send her to a mental institution."
The gang nodded.
"By the way, I believe this belongs to you." Dakarai said handing the puzzle and the eye piece to Yugi and then left.
"What do we do now?" Ryou asked as Yugi put the puzzle back together and slipped it around his neck.
"We need to help Kairi to overcome what happened to her. She was traumatized from what Anzu did to her. I think me and Yami have to take her to see a psychologist." Yugi said looking at Yami who nodded in agreement.
"Okay. I guess we should all go home then." Heba said and stood up.
"Goodnight, Yugi. Call us if you need us." they said and everyone left leaving Yugi, Yami and Kairi alone.
"I will just put her to bed and be back down in a second." Yugi said picking Kairi up in a bridal style. After tucking her into bed, Yugi returned downstairs.
Yugi sat next to Yami and looked at him. "Thank you, Yami, for today."
"No problem, Yugi. There is nothing to thank me about." Yami said.
"Hey, Yami there is something I need to tell you." Yugi said as he stood up.
"What is it, Aibou?" Yami asked.
Yugi smiled still not facing Yami. "I forgive you." He whispered so low that Yami almost didn't hear it.
Inu: Bows head ashamed "I think I owe you all an apology."
Heba: Glares "You think! You left them without an update for a WEEK!"
Inu: Pouts "I warned them my updating would be a little funky because of everything that is going on!"
Heba: Sigh "You disappoint me."
Inu: Cries
Yugi: Smiles and rubs Inu's back "Please review."
Inu: Snaps head up "Wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwait do not end it just yet I have a question!"
Yugi: Sigh "What is it?"
Inu: "How come dark magician has two names? Black magician and Dark magician? I was unsure what to call him because of it."
Yugi: Shrugs"Anyone have a answer?"
Special thank you to everyone who added this to their favorites!
