Yami Yugi cautiously opened one eye, then the other. He tried to sit up, but hit his head against some metal-it felt like a chain-link fence. There was a crack of light to his left. He reached for it-only to find the metal again. He heard footsteps, and someone pulled a towel off what turned out to be a dog cage. He cursed to himself and looked around. Yami appeared to be in some sort of small basement-like room. He could see the grass beyond the small windows. The figure walked towards him and placed one hand on the cage.
"You doing okay pup?" Yami glared.
The figure smirked and kicked the cage. It slid (rather quickly) into a wall. Yami's head bashed against the metal and he fell to the various blankets that were spread on the bottom of this cage. He lay there for a few moments-unsure of what to do otherwise.
"You're not dead. You can't fool me that easily." Yami suddenly recognized the voice.
"Oh my god----TRISTAN?"
"Yes. I'm surprised it took you so long to figure it out."
Yami narrowed his eyes and watched his captor's movements. Tristan undid the latch to the cage and opened the door. Yami made a break for the window, but two fingers hooked under his dog collar and pulled him back. There was a *Clip* sound before Tristan let go. But Yami knew better than to run. Tristan stepped back, jerked his hand backwards and spun around so his back faced Yami. Only for a second. Yami was pulled backwards and his back smashed into the wall. He dropped to his knees. Tristan placed one foot in the middle of Yami's back-pressing him into the ground. Then he pulled sharply on the leash he had in his hand.
Yami shut his eyes tightly as Tristan practically stood on his back. But as soon as this began, it ended. Yami again lay on the floor, knowing better than to stand up. Tristan tied the leash to a pipe and pulled out a PP7 silenced. Yami's eyes widened in fear as he sprang to his feet. Too late. Pain and blood exploded in each of his hands. Two bullets fell to the ground. Yami shouted in pain briefly before crumpling to the ground next to them.
"Damn." He hissed.
Anthy heard the gunshots. She stopped and tried to figure out where they came from, before taking off again. Her feet were getting scratched and scarred, but that didn't matter to her. It was pain she had to endure. The wind whispered 'death' into her ears-she had to ignore it. Something told her Yami wasn't dead. He was still here-somewhere.
Jess and Malik sped through the streets on of course, his motorcycle. Jess looked back at Yugi. There was a string tied to the shocks, leading up to a "kite". This "kite" was Yugi holding onto "wings" and tied to a string that was tied to the bike.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jess looked back at the road and tightened her grip on Malik's waist.
"How fast are we going?!" She shouted over the wind.
"110."
"WHAT?!"
"This is just search speed."
Jess and Malik laughed and turned left, heading towards the rendezvous point.
Yami tore at the leash even harder. His hands were in such pain that it hurt to bend a finger. Tristan hit him over the head, telling him to stop. He untied the leash and held it in his hands. Yami saw his chance. He made a mad dash at the window, pulling the lead away from his former friend's grasp.
The window was already open, held up by a stick to let fresh air in. Yami scrambled out of it, knocking the stick over. The end of the leash got caught in the window.
"Shit."
"Going somewhere?"
Tristan pulled on the leash. Yami stumbled back, but stood his ground. His bloody hands felt his neck for the clip. Pain shot up his arms as he fumbled with it for a moment.
The leash fell to the ground as Yami Yugi disappeared into the night.........with Tristan not too far behind.

Ohhhhhh. Okay readers, you wanna know what happens to him---right? Here's a teaser.
"Anthy! To your left!" Seto pointed.
"Yami!" Anthy shouted and ran forwards.
Yami turned away from his enemy to the sound of footsteps behind him---but that was his mistake......
