Chapter #2
*Yami's room right after the ceremony*
Yami was sitting on his bed, thinking about who would want to kill his father?
"Damn!" Yami cursed, as he threw his crown against his door and it cracked opened just enough for Yami to here the people talking in the hallway.
"Are you sure the little one doesn't suspect anything?" one of the hooded men asked the other.
"How can he? He is only a teen-ager." the other said and continued walking.
"What the hell?" Yami silently opened the door and followed the men. He followed them though the palace into tunnels downstairs. Yami didn't know where the hooded men were going, he didn't even know there were tunnels down here! They came to their destination. It was a large room with huge pillars holding the ceiling up. Yami could hear a faint chanting. There were many men dressed in brown cloaks and hoods like the other two. They were in two groups about 30 men in total. They kept chanting the same thing.
"Realm of Shadows in this twilight hour, accept the souls and grant us power. Realm of Shadows in this twilight hour, accept the souls and grant us power," they repeated this many times. The only light in the room was coming from the torches, but Yami could see well. Then the two men went up to a man standing in the middle of the two groups.
"Are you ready for our duel?" the man asked slyly as the two other men approached, and the chanting stopped.
"Sir, I beg you not to go through with it. You have to much to lose." one said to the other.
"I must." said the other stepping behind his card tablets.
"Ok, if you must. Gentle men, please, remove your hoods." the two men removed their hoods, and Yami was shocked, the man on the right was Seto's father Seth, and the man on the left Yami didn't recognize, he was tall, thin, and had shoulder length white hair.
"Now, Seth, Pegasus you know the rules, and if you Seth win Pegasus' daughter, Mai will be cast into the Shadow Realm." after he said this his daughter was brought out and set on the platform.
"And if you, Pegasus, win. Seth's son... Mokuba will be cast into the Shadow Realm." Yami was in tears how could he do this to his baby son, Mokuba was only seven years old. And that poor girl, he had to help them. The game started.
"I play Blue Eyes White Dragon." Seth lifted his saber and resurrected his monster.
"Oh no! What am I to do now?" Pegasus said sarcastically.
"Oh I'll just play this little monster, I believe his name is... Exzodia." Seth was in awe no one had the kind of magic to conjure up that monster... did they?
"You've got to be kidding. There is no way you can poses that monster." as he said that Exzodia appeared and destroyed Blue Eyes and made Pegasus the winner.
"Aww... well that's to bad for your little boy huh?" Pegasus snickered.
"No. no" Seth was in disbelief.
"I won't let you take him! Tell the Little Pharaoh I killed his father, just don't take my son!" Yami couldn't believe it. Seth killed his father. Yami clinched his fists.
"I don't have to." Pegasus said smugly. "You just did." Yami was now in view of Seth. His eyes red with anger.
"Well Yami nice to meet you, but if you don't mind, I really have to go." Pegasus went grabbed his daughter and with a snap of his fingers, was nowhere to be seen.
"Guards, release Mokuba, and bind Seth." The guards did as he said and brought Seth to him. He had put his hood back on before he was captured so he wouldn't have to look at Yami's blood red eyes. Yami stood tall and in a powerful voice he commanded.
"Seth, is it true that you murdered my father?" he hoped it wasn't, he hoped it was a mix up. But it wasn't Seth nodded his head. Yami eyes were full of tears as he said.
"Take him to the dungeon, and prepare him for execution. He will be hung tomorrow morning." the guards took him away.
"Go to his house and bring Seto to me." The rest of the guards left and the only ones left in the room were Yami and Mokuba.
"Mokuba, I want to let you know how sorry I am about that." Mokuba was crying and hugged Yami.
"He was gunna send me to the Shadow Realm!" He was soaking Yami's Robe with his tears but he didn't mind.
"The guards are gunna bring Seto over here and you guys can come live with me here." after Mokuba's sobs stopped Yami spoke.
"Come on, you can have my room." they walked back to the place and Mokuba got dressed for bed and waited up with Yami to find out about Seto.
"Sire... " one of the guards came in the room Mokuba had just fallen asleep so they went to the hall to talk.
"Where is Seto?" Yami asked starting to worry.
"That is a good question. He wasn't at his house. We searched the entire town no one was seen him." Yami was now very worried. But the guard wasn't done.
"Also sire, the prisoner..."
"Seth?"
"Yes, we checked in on the prisoner, and..."
"And what!"
"It wasn't him sire, it was some other guy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, we have suspicions that they left the country." Yami didn't have time to be upset he had to act.
"Send out search teams all through the country. Put a reward out for him also."
"Yes Sire." the guard left and Yami went to his Father's old room and got in the bed. Yami cried himself to sleep that night.
*Kiaba house two hours earlier (right after the duel)*
"Seto, wake up!" Seth shook his son awake.
"Son, we have to leave the country now." Seth started packing up his and Seto's stuff.
"Why?" Seto asked yawning and stretching.
"Because your best friend wants me dead." Seto was now awake.
"Are you sure it is Yami?"
"Yes Son."
"Where is Mokuba?"
"Don't worry about him, we have to go." Seth grabbed his son and their luggage and left. They rode their camels through the town they were in disguise. Seto was thinking of only one thing, why would Yami want his father dead?
As they left to town Seto turned and whispered a little prayer to the gods asking that Yami would be ok.
