Jonouchi scowled at the men surrounding him. Some cracked their knuckles. Others brought out switchblades. The lanky blond calmly dodged a punch that was thrown at him. Hirutani narrowed his eyes. "Hold him down. Teach him to never pull this crap again!" His goons jeered and advanced on Jonouchi. Another swing. Another miss. Jonouchi was great at dodging. But he was also great at having people meet his best friend in a fight. His fists. He kneed one man in the chin, ducking as a fist swung above his head. Unaware that a man had sneaked behind him, Jonouchi gasped as something heavy thunked on his head. The whites of his eyes showed as they rolled up, and he collapsed upon the floor.
Hirutani cackled. "Now! Get em boys! All at once!" They all jumped on him, kicking him, hitting him, spitting on him. When at last, they've had their fun, Hirutani stepped foward, looking down on Jonouchi. The blond groaned, lifting his head to glare daggers at Hirutani.
The gang leader scoffed at him. "Jonouchi. Ya look like shit." Jonouchi gave Hirutani a lopsided grin. "Gee I wonder why. Thanks for the compliment though." Hirutani took a drag of his cigarette, blowing the smoke in Jonouchi's face. He coughed, but didn't complain. Discreetly, Hirutani nodded to one man, and the man smirked. He lifted up Jonouchi, holding his arms behind his back. The lanky teen squirmed. "Lemme go ya freaks." Hirutani chuckled. "Let's take him to the torture chambers. Keheheh."
Honda glared down the stairs, building up his reslove before turning to face Yugi and Anzu. "Go home now. I'll take care of this." Yugi blinked. "B-but Honda..." The teenager growled at him. "YUGI! THOSE GUYS ARE FROM RINTAMA! YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM ON!" Shocked, the spiky haired teen stepped back a bit, his words silenced. Honda then smiled at him. "Yugi...you can't stoop to my level. Be safe. I'll take them on." Anzu watched in silent admiration. 'Honda...you'd really go to great lengths...amazing...' Yugi watched unhappily as Honda descended. He started to follow but something tugged him back. /He'll be fine Yugi. For now, just believe in him./ Yugi sighed. /But I don't like it.../ An emotion of understanding hit him. /I know. I don't like it either.../
Honda kicked open the door, tensed up. He gasped in slight shock. The place was in a wreck. Overturned chairs. Scuff marks on the floor. Broken glass. A man was passed out near a barstool. Honda strode over to him, picking him up roughly and shaking him. "Hey! Where's Jonouchi? Tell me!" The man didn't answer. Slight blood was trickling from his nose. Honda dropped him, scowling. "He's out like a light." He glanced around, pondering his next move. Deciding to go back to his waiting friends, Honda dashed upstairs, seeing Yugi worriedly pacing.
The skies were gray, the clouds splitting open and pouring rain down to the world below. Anzu walked towards Honda. "Any luck?" An unsettling feeling hung over the group as Honda shook his head. Anzu spoke up. "Let's split and search some areas. That way we'll cover larger ground." Honda smiled slightly. "Good thinking. Let me know if you find anything." Yugi nodded. "Got it." Anzu waved before setting off. Honda started walking away. Yugi stayed behind for a few seconds, the rain making his hair droop and his clothes to become soaked. "Yugi? Aren't you going to look for Jonouchi?" Yugi blinked, turning to look at the transparent form of his double, the rain passing through him. "Oh. Yeah of course I am..."
Yami tilted his head. 'He's nervous.' Yami placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "You know. It's okay to be nervous. I bet even Honda is nervous. And I wouldn't doubt that Anzu is nervous too." Yugi looked away from him. "I'm not nervous..." Yami smiled in slight amusement. "Let's go find him." He faded away, back into the puzzle. Yugi sighed. "Yeah." He set off.
Jonouchi coughed, a bit of blood flying out. His hands were tied with a heavy chain that was hooked to a metal hook hanging from the roof. He was high enough that his feet didn't touch the floor. Hirutani smirked darkly at Jonouchi. "So. How's it feel? Huh? To be beaten by your former comrades." Jonouchi laughed dryly. "I never considered any of you shits my comrades. Even when I was a part of your gang." Hirutani's eyes flashed. "You watch what you say to me. You're in no position to be talking to me like that." Jonouchi spat at him. Hirutani ignored it. He gazed at him before talking again. "Heh. I like this view Jonouchi." He drawled. Jonouchi spit out some blood. "Keh. I bet you do. This view isn't so bad over here too. Look! It's a red assed boss monkey and his pack!"
Hirutani's face darkened. His goons punched Jonouchi some more. The gang leader watched. "Jonouchi. You've been like that since middle school. Always thinking you were my equal. Although...nothing could stop us when we were together. Even high school gangs and troublemakers were afraid of us. We had quite a lot of people working for us back then. But. The one thing I never made you realize...was this. I. Am. The. Boss. You'll always be second in command."
Jonouchi laughed, completely unbothered by Hirutani's threats. "Ahahaha. That's what a boss monkey would say. Are you done? I know your faces ya jerks. I know how many times each of you have hit me. You know that I hold a grudge. I'm going to pay you back double." Hirutani shrugged. "Empty words. Wanna know why?" Jonouchi blinked.
The gangs members brought out some devices that sparked with electricity. "T-those are tasers!" One gang member lifted one near Jonouchi threatingly. "These stun guns have about 200,000 volts of electricity in them. One touch of this to your skin and you're dead! One touch of this and it's gonna blow the memories right outta your head." He held it closer to the blond. Jonouchi snarled at him. "You damn jerk!" He swung his leg foward, clipping the man in the face. He groaned and fell over, the taser still in his hand, blue sparks flitting around the prongs. Another gang member rushed foward, holding the taser to Jonouchi's neck, the electricity starting to cause Jonouchi's skin to bubble. He howled in agony as his entire body thrashed from the torture. A new current ran through him, and he screamed again, his muscles spasming.
Yugi stopped dead at the sound of dreadful wailing filling the air. Howls of agony pierced Yugi's heart. "That voice...it sounds like Jonouchi...but I don't know where he his!" The distant screams continued to agonize Yugi. He crouched down, holding his ears and started sobbing.
Yami knew what to do. He had to finish this. Yugi was no longer able to cope with the situation. He took over, soothing Yugi as best he could while he pulled his soul into the puzzle. Yugi relaxed, falling into unconsciousness. Blinking rain out of his eyes, Yami stood up, ears picking up the sound of what had agonized Yugi. Strangely, he knew where to find Jonouchi, and set off instantly.
Reaching an abandoned warehouse, he saw a group of men surrounding a teen that was tied up and hung on a hook, his body twitching. He snarled, before noticing a man passed out with a taser in his hand. Silently, he snuck over, grabbing the man and dragged him outside. It was still raining. Yami found a piece of wood lying on the ground. Dropping the arm that didn't hold the taser, Yami picked it up, placing the wood upright underneath the arm that held the stun gun. Sastified with his little plan, Yami walked back to the entrance of the warehouse. Breathing in, he yelled at the gang. "HEY!" They turned towards him, confusion on their faces.
The gang leader looked him up and down. 'Hmm. He looks familiar.' Jonouchi could barely sense what was going on. In fact, he felt quite dead at the moment. But his heart beat faintly, signalling that he was still alive. Yami stared at the scene before him. 'How dare they hurt Jonouchi! I won't let them get away! Any of them!'
End Of Chapter Ten Part Two.
Sorry. I had to cut this short. I had to shut off my electronics. This story was being written pretty late last night. So this'll be continued in the next chapter. It'll be really short though. I was pretty close to finishing it all in this chapter but alas...I ran out of time.
