Shadow Play
Chapter 3: Irritation
@@@@@@@@
A heart does not know
What sorrow it holds
A dream cannot show
The truth it unfolds
Until the sleeper
Awakens...
Yugi sat on Anthy's bed, arms wrapped around his knees as he stared at the light beyond the closed door. He looked around the room and picked up a stuffed animal-a Siamese cat with crystal blue eyes. He pulled it close to him as muffled shouts came through the door. Yugi squeezed his eyes shut and tried to ignore the voices drifting into his ears. He hated when Anthy and Yami fought.
"Are you telling me how to protect my aibou?"
"No. God forbid I would tell a great 'Pharaoh' like YOU how to do things."
"Shut up!"
"Look at this. A great Pharaoh can't win with words so now he tampers with the elements."
"Silence mortal fool!"
Anthy's next words were muffled suddenly and there was a small choking sound. Yami's grip was like iron, and Anthy had to take drastic measures. Electricity surged through her body and into Yami. He shouted in pain and let go, falling backwards.
"Damn you little bitch." Yami said, wiping the blood from his mouth.
"Fuck you bastard."
Yami raised his hand to obliterate her. Anthy's hands crackled with lightning again.
"Didn't you learn your lesson the first time?" She said, mock attacking.
Yami flinched. Then he looked back at Anthy. Her head was turned to the right. Yami ran up and began shaking her and shouting. Anthy, without moving her head, cupped her hand over his mouth and turned his head.
There, in the doorway of Anthy's room, stood Yugi.
He had seen the whole thing.
Yami let go of Anthy and turns to face Yugi. He turned his head away, picked up his jacket and walked towards the door.
"Yami, where are you going?" Yugi asked.
"To clear my head." Yami said simply before closing the door behind him.
Anthy dropped to her knees as Yugi rushed into her arms and cried.
Yami left the apartment building and turned east. The wind blew in his face and through the trees. It whispered to him and tried to make him turn away. He ignored it. He wasn't going back there-not back to that bitch. Yugi would be waiting for him----hell if he cared.
The silence was killing him.
Yami stopped and looked around. This city looked like a ghost town, and the clouds covering the moon. He began walking again. He stopped again by an eerie-looking alley. The wind whispered to him again, urging him to turn around. Again he ignored it and turned towards the entrance of the alley.
The wind seemed to pick up, whipping through the trees and lashing at Yami's face.
But as soon as it had begun, it ended.
'Weird.' Yami thought, and continued walking.
Someone was standing in his path. Yami tried to see who it was, but without the light of a full moon, he couldn't see much. Something made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. (Note: I bet they do that already but hey.)
"I never thought you would come." The figure said.
"Who-?" Yami asked.
The figure moved fast. In an instant, his fist was planted in Yami's stomach. Yami gasped in pain and staggered. Something hit the back of his head-hard. Then his world went dark.

Anthy paced around the kitchen. Yugi sat on the counter and looked out the window.
The silence was painful.
Anthy finally stopped and stared out the window. She sang a few bars of 'Frozen' before the phone interrupted her. She made a mad dash at it, grabbed it, and slid into a wall.
"Hello? Kilik Residence." She said.
"Beautiful Shadow, you are missing someone."
"Who the hell is this? Do you mean Yami?"
"Is that his name?"
The voice cut out for a moment and Anthy jerked the phone away from her ear as a scream of pain was heard.
"Who are you?! Where's Yami?!"
"Shadow, he is with me. And mind you, I'd only do this for you."
Then the line went dead. Anthy hung up the phone.
"Yugi, get you shoes on." She said, picking up the phone again.
"Why?"
"We're going to look for Yami."
At the Kaiba mansion, Seto was awoken by Mokuba. The child had his hand over one end of the phone and was shaking his older brother.
"Nii-sama! Nii-sama!"
"What?"
"The phone's for you-and it sound urgent."
Seto sat up, took the phone and shooed his brother out of the room.
"Hello?"
"Seto, it's Anthy."
"Why are you calling me at this hour?
"Yami-I-I think........."
"What about Yami?" Seto asked, alert in an instant.
"He's missing. I just got a phone call from someone.........and........"
"And what? Tell me Anthy-what's going on?"
"I wish I knew. Meet us at my apartment building in five minute. Kaylynn and Yugi will be there too."
Then, she hung up. Seto quickly changed and was soon racing down the street on a jet-black motorcycle. The three were standing and waiting for Seto. Both Kaylynn and Anthy wore sleeveless, tight, black tank tops and shorts-like they were ready to run.
"Okay, we all split up and meet on Main Street in thirty minutes." Kaylynn said.
"Right. I'll go east. Seto, North. Yugi, you'll meet up with Jess and go west. And Kaylynn, South." Anthy said.
"Got it. Let's go team." Kaylynn said.
Anthy was the first to go. She turned around and got ready to run.
"Anthy-wouldn't you want something more for you feet?" Seto asked.
Anthy looked down. Her feet wore pieces of beadwork. They first looped around her middle toe (on each foot) and came up in red and black diamonds and then looped around her ankle.
"I'll be fine. See you in thirty."
Then she disappeared into the night.
Kaylynn was next, heading south as fast as her legs would take her. Seto and Yugi nodded at each other and went on their paths.
"I swear that I will change the world." Anthy's words were carried away by the wind as she turned into an alley and melted into the darkness.
