Chapter Seven Taken





Yami shut his eyes tightly waiting for the man to notice him in the room, waiting for his to spring into action and waiting for all hell to brake loose. A few seconds of nothing Yami opened his eyes seeing the man wipe some drool from his chin then begin to snore again. Yami would have sighed in relief but he was still trying his best to silence all noise. Yami closed his fingers around the ax then he lifted it up not making a sound. He took a step back...then another...then another till he was at the door. Then with one quick movement he was out the door. He gave up the ax quickly to its rightful owner who was so overjoyed Yami had to cover her mouth and drag her down the hall. They both rounded the corner to find that Bakura was gone.

"Damnit." Yami said

"Where did your friend go?" Osa asked.

"He deserted us!" Yami said angrily. Yami quickly went to remembering the way out. He quickly moved down the hall making sure Osa was keeping up.

***

Bakura grabbed the window seal then lifted him self up and out the window. He got to his feet then began his descent down the hill. As he got closer to the hiding spot where everyone was waiting he saw a few head poke out from where they were.

"Where is Yami!?" Jonouchi said as Bakura was near them.

"Still inside I suppose." Bakura said

"What the hell do you mean 'you suppose'?! Weren't you two_suppose_to stay together!?" Jonouchi said

"No one told_me_that. He was taking to long so I left." Bakura said

"Why you son of a..!!" Jonouchi said getting ready to attack Bakura.

"No Jonouch-kun, he is on his way out now!" Yugi said.

Jonouchi stopped and switched his gaze over to the warehouse. For a few minutes no one could see anyone coming out. Soon they spotted two figures moving around and coming down the hill. Yami settled next to Yugi when he rejoined his friends. Osa stood next to Yami, being the only person she really trusted at that point. Bakura stood quietly with his arms crossed. Yami regained his breath quickly.

"Everyone, meet the real holder of the millennium ax, Kiosa Sizari." Yami introduced her.

"You can call me Osa for short, except you my little sell out!" Osa said turning to Bakura. Bakura only shrugged.

"These our my friends Katsuya Jonouchi, Masaki Anzu, and Hiroto Honda..." Yami

"Nice to meet you!" She said

"This is my hikari, Mutou Yugi." Yami said turning to Yugi.

"Your hikari hmm?" Osa said looking at Yugi. She wasn't any taller then Yami but still she was taller the Yugi.

"You are just too cute, Yugi-chan!" Osa said taking a small chunk of Yugi's golden blonde hair and twisting it around her index finger. Yugi's face flushed red, and he only meekly smiled at her. Anzu began to feel herself overflow with rage. She did all she could to keep herself from slapping away Osa's hand, or doing anything even crazier. Yami helped Osa remove her restraints now that they were outside.

"I think it would be time for us to get out of here." Yami said.

Everyone agreed and they set off back into town. Yami walked with them for about a half a mile then he returned to his room in the puzzle. Bakura also returned to his spirit room leaving Ryou to go with them to town. Osa slid her ax into the loop in her belt then she walked with her arms crossed to keep them warm. It was getting dark out and there was a chill in the air.

//It is comforting to know you are safe my hikari.// Sizsari said

/I was not expecting for anyone to come to my aide/ Osa replied

//A young man saved you did he not?//

/Yes how did you know?/

//I called upon him to help us.//

/You know this young man?/

//Yes, though I haven't seen him in many life times//

/He refers to himself as Yami, he is of the millennium puzzle./

//Correct. He is a king, from so long ago.//

/He is? The pharaoh you have spoken to me of before?/

//Yes, his hikari is of the greatest power. He is the one who can save us all.//

***

Upon returning to the Kame Game Shop it was dark out and the stars where showing in the night sky brightly. Everyone went to the house part of the shop and into the living room. The tables had turned. They now had the forsaken ax out of the mans control, and Osa and her Yami were safe. They were all a little tired so Yugi let them stretch out with some extra blankets. Yugi was sitting in the kitchen with Anzu when Osa came in.

"Excuse me Yugi-chan?" Osa said coming over to Yugi. Immediately Anzu became angry.

"Yugi-san, or even just Yugi would do just fine you know!" Anzu snapped.

"Oh But Yugi-chan sounds so much better, he is soooo cute you know." Osa said. Yugi turned red quickly.

"Anyway, my other half wanted to talk with Yami, if he is available." Osa said. Upon hearing this Yami appeared next to Yugi.

"I never got to thank you for saving me today." Osa said

"No problem." Yami said

"She said she would wait for you outside." Osa said then she turned to leave. Yami placed his hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"I will be back aibou." Yami said

"Okay." Yugi said. Yami walked out of the kitchen to the door. He stepped out to the cool air and looked around. Not seeing her he moved further out.

"You don't look well." A voice said from behind. Yami smiled

"At least my heart is healed." Yami said turning to her. She smiled.

"As mine is too." She said coming towards him.

When she reached him she began to look over his condition. She ran her finger gently over his chest tracing each mark and burn. Yami watched her hand as it moved. Soon she ran her finger up to his neck then his chin, from there her whole hand cupped the side of his face.

"My king, I will never leave you again." Sizari said Look in Yami's eyes.

"And I will never leave you again." Yami said. She rested into his arms. He nuzzled his nose into her hair then kissed her head as he held her.

***

"Does Yami know Osa's other half?" Anzu found herself saying. She sat with him on the couch while Jonouchi and Honda slept

"Yes, he told me they met a long time ago when he was pharaoh." Yugi said. Just as they said this. Ryou got up and walked over to the door. He left with out one word.

"Where is he going?" Anzu said

"I don't know. He doesn't really have anywhere to go." Yugi said.

"That's odd." Anzu said

//Aibou, I will be going for a walk with Sizari, I will be back shortly.//

/Alright./

"Yugi, do you mind if I use your shower? I haven't been home in nearly two days to take one." Anzu said.

"Sure common." Yugi said getting up.

***

Ryou walked along with his hands in his pockets. Bakura was right beside him. They were both quiet as they traveled along. Ryou was wondering where they were going since his house was burned down they couldn't go home and there wasn't many other places they could go in the middle of the night. He got up the strength to ask his Yami.

"Where are we going?" Ryou said

"No place in particular." Bakura said. Ryou was quiet. Bakura was beginning to know where this was leading.

"Then why..." Ryou began

"Because!! I don't feel I belong there. If you would like to return then go." Bakura snapped

"I will not leave. I will follow you until the end." Ryou said

"I do not understand you." Bakura said

"You never try to." Ryou said.

Bakura fell back into silence. It was true, he never did try to make a relationship with his light half. He was too used to being alone. Alone in Egypt alone in the world, and alone in the millennium ring, until it was given to Ryou. At last he was not alone, but was he taking his light half for granted?

"I do not belong with anyone." Bakura said

"You belong with me." Ryou said.

***

Yugi set out the soap for Anzu. He ran the water until it became warm then he left her in the bathroom to get a towel for her. He pulled out a fresh towel then returned to the bathroom door. He tapped on it lightly.

"Anzu I have a towel for you." Yugi said

"Come in." He heard from behind the door.

He turned the knob and came in. To his surprise she had already undressed and got in the shower. Luckily she had the shower door closed leave only her blurry silhouette to be seen. Yugi blushed brightly as he set the towel down for her.

"Here you go." Yugi said trying to scrape his eyes away from the shower doors.

"Thank you Yugi, you're wonderful." Anzu said from in the shower. Yugi quickly shuffled out and into his room. He took a deep breath then stretched out on his bed.

***

Yami sat on the park bench with Sizari by his side. She held his hand and laid her head on his shoulder. Things were so peaceful. Yami didn't want it to end. Though it wouldn't last. Peace was a temporary word at this point. Even though the man was stripped of his ax, there were still some awful feelings in Yami's mind.

"You wish to return to your other half?" Sizari said.

"It might be wise." Yami said

"You worry about him." She said

"I have to protect him, and I feel as if he is not out of danger." Yami said

"Lets return." Sizari said.

***

Anzu finished in the bathroom then came out. It was quiet in the house. Anzu opened the door to Yugi's room. He sat there on the edge of his bed looking out the window. She came in and shut the door. Yugi looked up at her and smiled. He motioned for her to come and sit down.

"The stars are beautiful aren't they?" Yugi said.

"Yes. They are very peaceful." Anzu said sitting next to Yugi.

"When I die I wish to become apart of those stars." Yugi said.

"Yugi, you mustn't say things like that." Anzu said

"It would be a wonderful place to go though." Yugi said

"If you must, then wish that you can go there, but a long time from now." Anzu said

"Right. Years and years from now, I will go there. I will shine brightly down on everyone and smile." Yugi said

"That's better." Anzu said.

Yugi turned to her and smiled. Anzu drew closer to him. She placed her hand to the side of his face then moved it behind his ear. He pulled closer to her on impulse. He closed his eyes then felt the warm soft skin of her lips on his. He had never really done this and he was wondering what to do next when he felt Anzu's mouth open. Things moved along better once Yugi tried not to 'think' about what he was doing and just did what felt right. Soon Anzu slowly pulled away from their arrangement. She watched as Yugi opened his eye to see the violet pools of color emerge to meet her eyes. Yugi didn't know what to say to her. It seemed as if his voice had left him. He opened his mouth to say something then he heard the front door open. They both got up and went down stairs.

Yami came in the house following Sizari. It was late and Jonouchi and Honda were sleeping on the floor a few feet from one another and the door. Yami quietly passed them to go up to Yugi's room.

"I will find my hikari and rest for the night." Sizari said

"Sleep well, Siz-chan." Yami said. Then his kissed he forehead and they parted for the night. Yami saw Yugi and Anzu coming down as he approached the stairs.

"Did you have a nice walk?" Yugi said.

"The best I have had in a while." Yami said. Just then the door opened from behind them and standing behind it was Bakura who was clutching his side, which was bleeding profusely.

"They..." He stammered taking a step forward. "They took...my...hikari." Bakura managed before falling towards the ground.
