Lost Quest
Notes:Before we begin,I'd like to thank all my lovely reviewers,who have helped me get this far,and I'd like to answer a few questions and comments they made.
Rosaria:nah this aint dorky! heck iieh! well not to an unexpeirenced writer like me... but that dont count cuz i dont write. well... i do write, but i cant post cuz i dunno how cuz i aint aloud to cuz im 10. but anyway, GREAT FIC! so far... :P im weird... *_*
It DOES count,Rosaria. All my reviews count. And don't worry,you'll find another place to send your work until your old enough for ff.net. I sent my Zelda fics to hyrule.com.ar before I even knew ff.net existed! Thanks for reading.
Nips:Yami came out and took a guy's soul JUST for stealing a woman's bag? That's harsh... Remind me to never try that in the future... O.o And wouldn't it be fun to see the look on Yugi's face if he saw his face on the news which claimed that Yugi beat Seto Kaiba, the top-ranked duelist? Heh. ^.^ Write some more soon!
Not JUST for stealing the woman's purse. The guy also hurt Yugi,remember. I'd be mad,too,if my aibou was hurt by someone. I know it still sounds at least a little harsh,but who knows? Maybe the punishments for stealing from a woman and hurting a child were more extreme 5000 years ago. We're also guessing that this isn't the guy's only crime. As for Yugi seeing his face on tv,I'm trying to make Yugi come to the truth gradually. If I did that now,it would break him. BTW,Nips,I owe you big thanks! If you hadn't asked me if Yami remembered anything,I wouldn't have gotten this far!
PurePsychicEspeon:I like this story alot! Best I have read in this yugi section yet. Too many yaois...@.@;; No offence to those people, but how could yugi fall in love with himself? Or... well nevermind. It's just giving me a headache. This was one story that made sence and I enjoyed! Thanks!
No,thank YOU,PurePsychic,but the stuff I've read doesn't seem like Yaoi to me. To me,it seems Yugi and Yami have the same relasionship Tien and Chao- Tsu do in Dragonball Z:they're just really close,like a father and son. But that's just me. NEway,thanks for reviewing.
Red Rose:It seems like the time when Yugi got knocked out and Yami came and saved Tea.
Umm,that's kinda the point. Thanks for reviewing once again,Red Rose. I'm glad people like this so much. I was really proud of myself when I wrote the first chapter,and the minute I saw how many reviews I got in one day,I was probably blushing...NEway,thanks again. I apreaciate your reviewing of each chapter.
TAFKAE:DUUUUUUDE! Yeah, a little dorky, an' a little extreme (I don't think Yami would go *that* far) but I still need more. How're Joey and the others gonna find him? This is *SWEEEEET*!!!
Thanks...I think...I honestly don't know how far Yami would go. Of course,I would beat the guy to the pulp for hurting Yugi,but that's just me. And like I said before,maybe the punishments in Yami's day really were that nasty. How are Yugi's friends gonna find him? That's for me to know and you to wait and see ^_~
Chapter 5
Missing Pieces
Weevil sat,all too aware that the people outside his cell were talking about him.
"Weevil Underwood can't possibly be a murderer! He's a celebrity!"one yelled.
"Killing has no excuse!"the other said,"Celebrity or not,he is still at the top of the suspect list."
"And why? How can we be sure he even touched Yugi Mutoh?"
"Fact one:a witness saw Weevil talking to Yugi on the boat. The witness didn't know what they were talking about,but it caused a big reaction in Yugi. Fact two:Yugi went outside onto the deck,and Weevil followed not long after. Fact three:only Weevil came back,looking very pleased with himself. THAT is when Yugi was noticed missing. Do the math,and Weevil Underwood may as well be a murderer!"
"How can we be sure that's true?? The only reason my client is accused of murder is because we are ASSUMING that Yugi Mutoh is dead,and he client HAPPENED to be there!"he nodded toward Weevil,"What if Yugi is still alive?"
"Impossible! When Yugi Mutoh disappeared,he left no trace on the boat. The only place he could've gone is overboard. The ferry was in the middle of no-where! If Yugi fell,or was thrown,as I suspect,there's no way he could've survived. The current was too strong to fight,and there was no land for miles."
They left the room,arguing about the evidence. Weevil felt his face burn. It was outrageous! Him,a murderer! Totally ridiculous! Of course,it was in a way true. He did mean to throw Exodia overboard,but he never suspected Yugi would go after them...or did he? That Joey Wheeler kid,he was soaking wet when he saw him. Maybe he went after the cards,but then why would Yugi have gone overboard and drowned? Could it be possible that Wheeler got in trouble? It was possible. They already said the current was strong. But how did Wheeler get back on the ship? All this thinking was giving Weevil a headache. He gave up trying to figure it out and starting worrying about his trial.

Yugi sat and looked at the wall,Sumara's dog sitting on his lap. It had been three days since the incident with the theif,and he still couldn't figure out what happened. Sumara said that after he was knocked out,he suddenly grew taller and meaner and used some kind of wierd magic on the theif. He couldn't remember any of this. He wondered if it had something to do with his pendant...if it had some kind of magic powers...
Yugi was bored. He looked around for something to do. He found a pencil and a piece of paper. He took them and,unaware of what,he began to draw.
It was an interesting drawing. He drew...what was it? A man? No. Not just a man. It looked like a wizard. He decided it was a wizard. The wizard had short hair and soft,serious eyes that were barely visible underneith his strange,tall hat. He was down on one knee,his robe flowing around him. In his right hand,he held a long,jewled staff,which was held in front of him in a defensive pose.
Sumara entered at that point and looked at what Yugi was drawing.
"What is that?"he asked.
"I don't know."Yugi anwered as he drew armored plates on the shoulders of his wizard,"It's just a picture I have in my head."
"Wow,it's pretty good!"
"Thanks."Yugi finished his drawing and looked at it. That wizard...it seemed familiar...it seemed as though it had something to do with a hobby of his that he couldn't remember. Maybe he was an artist back wherever he came from? Who knows.
***
Joey swam fast after the cards. He heard Yugi's voice calling him,but he ignored it. He reached for the card. Just three more now. There was a roar behind him. He turned around. A wave pulled him underwater. He thrashed about,desperatly trying to surface,but of no avail. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was something in the distance...land...?
Joey awoke with a start,cold sweat running down his face. His breath was fast. That was the third time he had that same dream,but that was the first time he ever saw land in it. He began to wonder...was that land really there?
He leaned back in bed and strained his brain,trying to remember. Sure enough,from what he could recall,there was indeed something off in the distance,several miles away. It was in the direction the current was flowing. Could this possibly mean...?
Joey slung himself onto the edge of the bed. He slipped a pair of flip- flops onto his feet and threw a robe about his shoulders. He left his room and ran as quietly as he could to the kitchen phone.
***
Tea sleepily made her way down the stairs,her drowsiness amplifying the ringing. Who would possibly call at this time of night? She yawned quietly as she picked up the receiver.
"Gardener residence."Tea mummbled as she put the receiver to her ear.
"Tea? Sorry to call ya this late."
"Joey?"Tea suddenly became wide awake,"What's wrong?"
"I had that dream again. This time it was different."
"How?"
"This time,after I was pulled under,I saw somethin' off in the distance. It looked like land. It was in the same direction as the current. Do you realize what that means?"
"No..."
"If my guess is on target,there is a chance Yugi is still alive!"
"What???"Tea shouted,then quickly silenced herself,"Are you sure?"she whispered.
"Pretty sure. First thing tomorrow,meet me at the docks. Tell Tristen,too."
"Right. I'll see you then."she hung up. Yugi? Alive? Could it be true? What was Joey on about? One thing was for sure...it was a darn good thing tomorrow was a weekend.
***
Laura sat in her rocking chair and looked at the wizard drawing. Sumara had shown it to her earlier that evening,saying that Yugi drew it. It was strange...she felt she had seen a wizard like this before,somewhere on tv,perhaps? Why had Yugi drawn this picture? Could Yugi's past have something to do with it?
Laura was about to get up and go upstairs to bed,but when she looked up,she jumped at seeing someone standing there. It was Yugi,standing in the doorway in his teddy bear pajamas. He looked scared,somehow.
"Yugi?"Laura asked,"What's the matter,sweetheart?"
"Another nightmare."he answered as he went over to her and sat in Laura's lap. She put her arms comfortingly around him and began to rock gently.
"The same one?"she asked in her softest,most motherly voice.
"Yes."the little boy whispered,sounding as though he was about to cry,"only...it was worse..."
"Shhh..."Laura soothed,"It's alright,baby. I'm here."
"I'm scared,Laura."Yugi whimpered,"All these dreams...and these strange things that have been happening to me...I don't know what it all means...I feel so lost...so scared..."
"There there,Yugi. It's ok. We'll talk about all this tomorrow. You need to sleep."
"Can I sleep with you and Akito tonight?"
"Of course."Laura gently took Yugi into her arms and carried him upstairs.
To be continued...
Well,there you have it,folks! Chapter 5. Sorry it's short,but at least we're getting somewhere,and I finally broke out of my writer's block. I won't be able to write much for the next few days. I'm going to my grandparents' house,and although I could continue writing while I'm there,I'll probably be too addicted to playing Earthbound on Grandpa's SNES to write.
