Back again! Sorry for the delay...I had to finish some stupid summer reading for school:-/ I'm sure a lot of you have been there...but here is the new chapter, Capture. Thankyou to everyone who has been reviewing! In this chapter I tried my best to keep Domino highschool as close to the way Japanese schools are as possible but I don't know if they have vacations or long breaks. I decided that I was going to make a "summer break" just for this story. If you have any info on this stuff feel free to tell me:-) I also made up the name of a restaurant which the gang goes to...it's just supposed to be an American style restaurant but again, I have no idea if they have this kind of stuff in Japan so please don't be mad- with all that said...on w/ the story!

Meera, or Cara Far, stood outside the small carrier plane, which had been supplied to her by her ressurector after some effort. It would serve her well, if her plan worked out. The sun was just rising, a cool blanket of dew coated the short-cropped grass on the sides of the take off strip and the outlines of the buildings of Domino City could just be seen. Everything was new to Meera, since she had just recently come back. All this technology, all these new inventions, no pharaohs, no slaves, just millions and billions of pounds of polished "metal." But Meera wouldn't be lead astray. At first she was in shock, but then her senses came back to her. She remembered who had introduced her back into this world, and why. But all that would be revealed later. Now it was time for the business at hand. Soon, her hired kidnappers would be arriving at the Museum, posing as merely visitors. In reality they were working for her ressurector, because these kidnappers had no idea who _she_ was, her resurrector had simply hired them to do the dirty work and bring Yami to her. She could easily teleport herself with spells from Domino to the exact location in Egypt, but more than one person was impossible.
Meera started to think about how it would be in Egypt, but she brought her thoughts back to Domino. Yami would arrive at the museum and be caught. Poor, great, stupid Pharaoh Yami who was just interested in seeing some silly artifacts and a little innocent archaeologist. Which wasn't in reality a meek little archaeologist but a powerful sorceress. Meera twiddled her thumbs and a small shock of yellow light danced through her finger tips. She had labored so long to become this powerful. Smiling to herself she thought, Even if he hadn't fallen for my trap, I would have found a way to get him. Now, he can join me, or die... With that, Meera recited a short incantation and burst into a cloud of red smoke. She was gone. Back to Egypt, awaiting the arrival of her ancient lover, and enemy.

"Ok I'm leaving!"
"Me too."
Yugi and Yami were standing at the doorway, both ready to depart. Yugi, who was completely exhausted from the little romp last night, was heading off to school. Thankgod it's Friday, he thought. Yugi had tried convincing himself that the incident last night had just been a bad dream, but even if it wasn't, he had the Millennium Puzzle safely hung around his neck. Yami had insisted that he keep it. The great Pharaoh had to go to the museum and see the artifacts and the girl. Yami was looking forward to his trip but he was a little concerned that the monsters could show up again. Hopefully, that was the last of them.
"Are you sure I should keep this?" asked Yugi, spinning the puzzle around his neck.
"Yes, very. Don't worry I'll be fine. I'll be home before you, anyway."
"What about the monsters?"
"I doubt they will show themselves while the sun is up. Let's just hope that Kaiba Corp has been working on a very,very advanced hologram and that those aren't...real. Maybe that's what happened." Yami had every fiber of his being against the appearance of a REAL monster, that just wasn't possible...here or at present times... and there was no use calling officials, they would just laugh.
"Maybe later today I can give Kaiba Corp a ring! If it IS a secret project, I doubt they'd tell me and Kaiba is away. But it's worth a try."
"Alright." Yami nodded, his old stern nod.
"Lighten up a little! At least you weren't the one who was almost made a shishkabob last night!" laughed Yugi.
"That's just the thing..." Yami trailed off. Yugi gave him a warning look, which clearly said, "don't go there, I'll be fine."
And with that he waved goodbye and ran out to get his bike and go to school. Yami watched and then followed him out.
***
Yugi pedaled quickly, his bike tires squeaking on the wet ground. He could hardly keep his eyes open. Last night, he had gotten so little sleep that he wasn't thinking straight. But that didn't mean that he wasn't up for a good game of Duel Monsters. He pedaled a little harder when he noticed a group of boys leaning against a stop sign, watching him. One of them jeered, "Hey, it's little Yugi! Hey Yugi, where's your Grandpa?"
Yugi frowned and kept going. The sky was greyish, the air was whipping his hair back. He hated it when he was picked on for his size. But Tea, Joey, Tristan and Bakura didn't say much about it. They never picked on him. At the thought of his friends, Yugi pedaled a little faster still. He couldn't wait to see them. Suddenly his foot slipped and the bike twisted at an odd angle and skidded into some bushes. He looked around, embarresed but not hurt, stood up, and brushed the needles from the shrubbery off his jacket. Then he heard a stifled laugh from nearby. Looking up, not aware of how close he was to school, he saw Tea, leaning with Bakura against a tree. Bakura was laughing a little as was Tea. Yugi's face immediately brightened.
"Hey guys! How long were you standing there?"
"Long enough to see you fall," laughed Bakura. "I'm sorry, are you o.k.?"
"Yeah, I'm ok, hi Tea!"
Tea looked up and waved. "Ready for class?"
"No, not really, I'm so tired."
"That's good! Cause we didn't wanna go to class either!" Tea smirked.
"Huh?"
Behind Yugi, the bushes rattled and Tristan and Joey lept out, both grabbing Yugi's arms and wrestling him to the ground. He laughed and tried to fend them off but soon they were soaking and grass was stuck to all three.
"So," laughed Tristan, "what do ya say we just skip class? Just once?"
Joey smiled. "Heh, we're rebels!"
"I don't know," sighed Yugi, "are you sure?"
"Oh come on, we gotta have some fun. We're always obeyin the rules and besides, only a few days before break!" announced Tristan with a sly grin.
Yugi looked at his wet school jacket and rickety old bike. He couldn't resist. It was too tempting. With a smile, he asked,
"So where we goin'?"
Tristan and Joey high-fived and Tea helped Yugi to his feet.
"I told them you wouldn't wanna, so I'll go back to school with you if you don't
wanna skip," said Tea, giving a sincere look to Yugi.
"No, it's ok. I'd rather be with you guys. It's Friday! What could we miss?"
Bakura nodded. Then the group sneaked away from the school to enjoy an early second-breakfast in the city.
***
Yami walked up to the bustop. He wasn't in the mood for walking today, so taking the bus was his next choice. After waiting for five minutes the bus pulled up with a screech and the gray and black doors swung open. An older, chubby woman sat in the fake black leather bus seat and smiled down. "Hey handsome, where to?"
Yami couldn't help but crack a smile. He walked onto the bus and handed the woman his change. Then he took a seat in the back after telling her the stop he would be getting off at.
The older bus driver looked into the mirror and waved at him, grinning. Trying to cover a laugh he waved back and then turned away quickly, only to be facing a little girl holding a miniature doll. She also gave him a smile in which two teeth were missing and loudly announced, "Your hair is funny!"
Yami arched his eyebrows and then blew a bang out of his eyesight, exaggerating the motion to make the little girl laugh. The little girl's mother apologized profusely. "I'm so sorry! She can be so loud sometimes. Shhh, Hali, quiet down! It's not nice."
With all of his charm, Yami just smiled and answered back, "It's alright. She's a cute little one. I guess I'm just popular with the ladies," he winked, motioning towards the busdriver and then towards the little girl. The mother smiled and then went back to looking out the window.
**
"I think I'll have the silver dollar pancakes," announced Yugi with a grin. The gang was seated in the big leather booths at the arcade/restaurant, HomeRuns. The cheery waitress was taking their orders and Joey and Tristan were fighting over the menu. Tea, Yugi and Bakura sat together on one side of the booth and they had ordered.
"Gentlemen? Can I get your order?" asked the waitress politely, smiling down with over-exaggerated happiness at Joey and Tristan.
"If Tristan would gimme the stupid menu then I could actually see wat I wanted," mumbled Joey.
"Just gimme a second," answered an annoyed Tristan. He flipped through it then leaned back. "Alright! I'm all done, Joey! You can have the menu."
Finally, ten minutes later, the group was finished ordering and the food was on it's way. Yugi couldn't help but notice how pretty Tea looked today. But he didn't have the courage to say it. Her soft brown hair blew in the early morning breeze and Yugi got lost by looking at her. Soon, Bakura saw what he was looking at.
"Eyes off, tiger," Bakura whispered.
"Huh?"
"You're too obvious, Yugi."
"Ohhh..." Yugi blushed and turned away. He was a little disappointed that someone had found out his secret...but if Bakura was able to after just a short time...then surely Tea must have some idea! Yugi frowned and looked out the window.
Soon after, breakfast was served.
***
"Hello?"
Yami stepped inside the museum. A cool gust of air from the ducts hit his face and he stopped for a second to savor the feeling. Then he walked in. The place smelled old, he hadn't noticed that before. It smelled like animal fur and of glass cleaner and just smelled...old. The floors were all polished, the exhibits were all perfect. Behind flawless glass windows the history of the world could be seen in bits and peices.
Walking to the front desk, Yami wondered where the girl, Cara Far, could be. He had no idea where the Egyptian wing was. A little silver bell sat on the counter and he rang it. After nobody came, he decided to go exploring. The halls were silent but every so often he heard a whisper. Soon, Yami saw an older woman standing by an exhibit about Ancient China. She pointed down a long hallway, to where the Egyptian exhibit was. Yami walked briskly and soon was in the land he once knew, only a much smaller version. In large display cases, artifacts were displayed. Chisels, bones, pieces of gold and strings of silver jewelry lined the cases. Yami did not find these extremely impressive. He knew the real treasures of Egypt were the pyramids and some artifacts that the modern archaeologists would never find.
After inspecting the exhibit Yami decided to seek out the girl, Cara Far. There was hardly anyone around. "Hello?" he called again, glancing behind displays and walls. He walked down every aisle until he came to a back room. The room was dark, the door left ajar. Gazing inside, Yami spotted a figurine of an Egyptian god, lying on it's side. Slowly he looked around and with the stealth of a cat, slipped into the room. It was dark inside and smelled musty. Hundreds and hundreds of boxes were stacked around the walls. Papers and Styrofoam covered desks and tables. He approached the statue on the desk and recognized the god it was portraying. He lovingly muttered some ancient words in Egyptian and kissed the statue's head. It was always good to respect the God's, even their statues. He then noticed that an exit in the back of the room was open and he drew near it. Maybe the girl was outside? Poking his head out he saw a dumpster and the back of an alley. Suddenly, a shuffling noise caught his attention and he instinctively walked outside to see what it was. The alley was darker than the rest of the outside, for fire escapes and staircases spiraled up the side of the buildings into the high, dusty lofts of the museum and closed out some of the sunlight.
Yami saw the end of the alley, far up. An air conditioner or a vent turned on behind him, making him jump a bit. The Pharaoh was not to be bothered though, after he had seen the noisy "enemy." Walking a bit further up the alley, Yami weaved his way through the puddles of rain on which papers floated and trash was thrown. Again, Yami heard the rustling sound and, more cautiously, neared the end of the alley. It emptied into a street and he walked briskly, desperately wanting to get out of the silent, eerie place. A great red bird was perched on a fire escape above his head and it squaked loudly. Yami ignored it and kept walking. Finally, he burst out of the alley without looking and stood there, panting. Why had he gotten so worried?
Suddenly, a large hand holding a damp rag came from behind him and covered his face. Yami struggled, trying to call out but all that emerged was a stifled yell. In his head he screamed, "Help!" but Yugi wasn't there to hear him, and no one was around to see him. He was shoved against the wall and could see four men around him, one holding the rag over his face and the others restraining him against the cold brick. Yami tried to hold his breath but he had to give in. He started to panic as the chloroform from the rag flooded through him. Soon, his eyelids began to droop and his body felt like a lead weight. The Pharaoh's mind started to float away from him as the medicine took it's effect. The men were shouting to eachother but the words were all muffled now, their faces blurry. Yami's eyes shut and his small frame fell into the man's arms. He was held in the hands of the enemy.
***
"Shouldn't you kids be in school?" asked a man on a street corner. He was holding a black cellphone and sitting on a bench. The Domino freshman had just emerged after eating breakfast and Yugi regarded the man with a sheepish smile. He felt like he was in charge for a change and decided to be a little daring. "Uh...if we said "yes" could you do anything about it?"
"Well, no...but...it's the afternoon and..."
"Well then! In that case, yes, we _should_ be in school."
Yugi walked away with a smile on his face and the gang crossed the street and headed towards the park.
"Geez, Yuge, what was dat all about?" laughed Joey. "Gettin ta be like me n' Tristan!"
"I dunno...but it really wasn't his business," laughed Yugi. He knew it wasn't like him but today he felt different. He didn't know why. Bakura regarded him with a funny look.
"Wow, Yugi, you seem different...maybe you grew?" he backed away playfully, dodging a little push from Yugi.
"No, I don't know. Maybe it's the weather. Summer's coming."
He pointed up to the bluish sky and the bright sun, surrounded by a few, lacy clouds. Everything was perfect. But little did Yugi know the peril that Yami faced.
