'These are thoughts'

Chapter Eleven - Shakled to Torture

Yami yelled in pain, snapped painfully back to reality as the snakes fangs dug deep into his shoulder, draining his energy, and his magic. The snakes grip around him tightened, making it more difficult to breath as it tightened slightly each second, it's red eyes gleaming with amusment. He could feel the pressure trying to shater his bones so he was completely useless, but it didn't think he'd last much longer. Gasping for breath, he only started a coughing fit as he began to feel light-headed. Soon he fell limp from weakness.

The snake slowly uncoiled itself, but kept it's jaw locked. Yami fell to the ground, lying on his back, struggling to breath. The snake pulled him along the ground and back towards the portal, it's tail slowly disappearing into the void of darkness.

Joey groaned and pushed himself to his hands and knees, holding his head. He looked over and saw Yami, but it took his mind a moment to register what he was seeing before he yelled and ran forward. By now Yami was close to the portal, barely any of the snake remaining in the present demension. Joey jumped and grabbed Yami's arm, planning on stopping him from being pulled any further as he tried to find a way to get the snake off his.

No such luck. The snake had more strength then he was first counting on, and soon he was being pulled along too. He stood up and dug his feet into the ground to stop himself. The snake raised up and pulled hard on Yami's arm, but Joey wouldn't let go, though he was gradually being pulled towards the portal.

Half of Yami had disappeared into the darkness, unconcious form hanging limply. Joey gave one last pull and cringed as he heard the gruesome sound of ripping flesh. He fell back and Yami landing on his stomach in front of Joey. Sitting up, Joey winced as he realised the snake had torn off what flesh it had a grip on, blood pouring from Yami's shoulder as he shook in pain, even though he was unconcious.

Joey crawled over to Yami's side and torn off the end of his already tattered jacket. He bandaged Yami's shoudler up as best he could before he realised Yami wasn't going to regain conciousness soon. But they couldn't stay there, the snake may come back. They had to move on.

"What did that fool Yami get himself into this time?" Seto thought. Yugi had explained their connection, with some difficulty, before he'd passed out, claiming he had a pain in his arm. He looked around in confusion. Now what was he suposed to do?

"Kaiba? What happened to Yugi?"

Seto looked back and spotted Joey coming around the corner, carrying an uncocious Yami. Yami's arms hung limply over Joey's shoulders, and expression of pain simalar to Yugi's on his face. "I would ask like to ask you the same thing." He asked, picking Yugi up and following Joey's lead. As they explained things to one another, they walked down the dark corridors.

"What are we going to do Kaiba? How can we escape this rat maze and all those traps, especially with these two unconcious?" Joey looked down and the floor as he walked. "It just seems impossible..."

"It's is..."

Seto and Joey both looked up at the sound of Bakura's voice, looking around for the source. The floor suddenly vanished underneath their feet and they dropped down into some sort of huge slide. It came to a sudden stop, Joey and Seto skidding across the ground until they hit a wall.

"Ow..." Seto groaned pushing himself off the ground and sitting up, holding his head. "You alive puppy?"

"I think so..." Joey said sitting up aswell. He froze suddenly and looked around. "Hey... where're Yami and Yugi?"

Seto looked around in confusion. Where had those two disappeared to? "Yugi! Yami!" He heard Joey call, but paid no heed.

"Guys where are you?!" Joey called, but got a suddenly punch in his shoulder. Rubbing his arms he turned to yell at Seto, he noticed he was pointing forward at something. Looking, he saw Yugi and Yami, hanging limply by their wrists from shakles on chains that were made into the walls.

He stood and and was about to run forward when Seto pulled him back. "What are you doing!? We've got to-"

"Ever heard of the phrase leap before you look?!" Seto yelled, angered now. Joey didn't understand until he looked forward. In the shadows next to Yami, Bakura emerged, Millenium Rod twirled twise like a baton before he stopped it, pointing at them. "Let them go!"

"They're meals for my pets after I've had a bit of fun." Bakura grinned. He pointed the Rod at the unconcious forms of Yugi and Yami, a wave of magic charging up and hitting them both, causing them both to cy out in pain, even though they remained unconcious.

"Stop it!"

Bakura grinned and lowered the rod, Yugi and Yami settling back to their limp staes. He turned to Seto and Joey, lowering his voice to a whisper he said, "Oh I'm only just getting started..."
