~CHAPTER FOUR~
It was already dark and there was still no sign of Bakura. They had checked all over the city and then again. They even split up to improve their chances of finding him, but that didn't work either. Things just seemed to be getting worse, and they thought it couldn't get any more worse too. Unfortunately, they were wrong.
The sun was below the horizon and the stars glittered in the night sky, along with a passing cool mist breeze. Joey, Yugi, and their puppy walked along the busy streets of the bustling city, with solemn faces. Joey sighed and lifted his head up. Yugi just sort of walked along, worried, and the dog just followed. He tried to lighten up the situation a few times, but it didn't seem to work.
"Come on Yug, things can't be that bad. I mean, it's not our fault Bakura wanted to get lost."
Yugi looked over to Joey, "I'm afraid it might be a lot worse then that, Joey. I have a bad feeling that something terrible happened to Bakura."
He pretty much thought the same, but he said nothing about it. Instead, he decided to change the subject. "Hey, I'm starving! Let's go to my sister's place for some grub. We can always continue the search tomorrow, right?"
Yugi nodded and Joey was getting fed up with this. Why'd Bakura just have to get himself lost he thought within his unanswered mind. They kept walking until Joey felt a tug on his shirt. He looked down and saw an old lady. Her wrinkled face and creepy appearance made him jump back, "Ahhhh!"
"Hello sonny. Would you care to spare a quarter?"
"Hell no, not this shit again!" Joey's eye began to twitch in frustration, and he curled his knuckles into fists. "I DON'T have any quarters, you people just leave me alone!"
Joey ran off a few feet from the hag when he realized something was wrong, too wrong. Where's Yugi and his dog? He began to panic and look quickly around, but they weren't in site. First Bakura, and now this? That can't be right.
"Hey.Yug? He wouldn't just.wait," Joey felt a depth of fear uncoil in the pit of his stomach. "I'm NEXT!"
He started running again, this time out of fear.well the first time was fear too, but I guess this is REAL fear. He crashed right into something, and it didn't sound quite too happy. Joey and somebody else fell down, and a steel suitcase clunked Joey's head. Joey was then pushed off and into the pavement of the sidewalk.
"Watch it you moron!" That voice was very familiar, and when Joey realized it, his eyes were wide open.
"KAIBA!" Joey jumped to his feet, just feeling the headache he had just collected from the suitcase and the crashing.
Kaiba just grabbed his suitcase and started walking away. Joey ran after him and grabbed him by the arm, forcing him around. "Ooh, you ain't getting away that easy."
Kaiba looked down at Joey's hand and twisted it backwards until Joey grabbed his hand and let go. "Eh.www."
"Don't try anything like that again mutt."
Joey snapped like a twig in that statement, tight fists at his side. "What'd you call me!"
Kaiba smirked in despite of himself, "You heard what I called you, unless you're just not hearing well."
Joey rebelled and grabbed Kaiba by his shirt. "Don't mess with me!"
"You remember last time what happened, don't you?"
Joey just grunted angrily, "Yeah, you just caught me off guard." He lied through his embarrassment.
"So this would be catching you off guard then, huh?" Kaiba could tell Joey was lying. He grabbed Joey's hand and lifted it against Joey's will. Joey was flipped over until he met a throbbing force against his back on the concrete. Joey groaned in pain.
Kaiba started walking away again, walking past Joey. He stopped and looked back at Joey getting to his feet. "I assume you'll be of no more trouble to me."
Joey watched him walk away as fierce fire welled up inside him. How he resented that heartless jerk! His flame inside was soon extinguished and he began to think of other things, while kicking the ground as he walked. Why was Kaiba all the way over here any ways? And where WAS his Yugi and Bakura.non-the-less his dog.
