Chapter 9
CJ sat on her cushion and stared at the wall. How could I lose? How could I fail all of them? She thought to herself. She'd been staring at the wall for so long that she'd memorized every line and every detail about it. All the cracks and odd colorings in the wall. She looked over to the other corner where Tea was sitting. She looked so distant. CJ felt even worse. All of this was her fault. Why did she have to drag these people through all of this?
"I'm sorry." She whispered to Tea.
Tea looked up. "It's okay. You did the best you could." Tea reassured her but she knew that Tea was just trying to hold strong.
CJ looked down at her new clothes. She'd been forced to wear a pair of long silk blue bell-bottom pants. She was also wearing a tube top with semi- translucent sleeves. She could have been an Arabian princess if not for the large shackles on her arms and feet to prevent her from getting away. Tea was dressed in an elegant yet plain looking white robe.
This whole place had been designed through the magic of thief's three millennium items. He was unstoppable by all of them. CJ thought about Yami. The sick twisted spirit was now using poor guy as an energy source.
Just then in walked Thief. Trailing behind him was Tristan and Yugi. Both were dressed in waist like robes that revealed all of their chests. CJ thought Yugi looked naked without the millenium puzzle around his neck. Both had their heads down as they each carried several objects. It was obvious that what Yugi was carrying was too heavy for him. He caught his foot in a crack in the floor and fell. He crashed to the floor with the object following behind him. The noise caused thief to turn around.
"Insolent fool!" He shouted.
"Please forgive him." Tristan begged. "The load was too heavy for him."
"No excuses!" Thief shouted. "This boy has been a thorn in my side for a long time. He's lucky I let him live. I will punish him for being so clumsy." The millenium ring began to glow and Yugi began to scream.
"Stop it you monster!" Tea shouted. "Leave him alone!"
The ring stopped glowing. "I'm only playing with him young Tea. You will no when I am truly hurting him." He gave her a wicked grin and sat down in his elegant chair. "Ah! This is a mere taste of what I will achieve when I have collected all the millenium items. It will not be much longer." He laughed and then gave too claps. "CJ. I'm hungry. Bring me some food."
CJ had no choice. She stood up and picked up the tray off of the table. She wished she could poison the food. She walked over and held out the tray. He pointed to the apple, which she then picked up and held out. He took at bite from it in her hands. "You no love. I can see why Bakura was so fond of you. You're very beautiful and you have this.spark in you. It draws men like a moth to the flame." He took another bite. It disgusted her and she began to pull away but he grabbed her chains and pulled her closer. "Be my bride." He said. "Be my bride and rule the world at my side. I can give you anything your heart desires."
She lowered her face to his and glared at him. "I would die a thousand deaths before I would even consider such a thought." She snapped.
He laughed. "Don't tempt me love." He sneered. He sat back in his chair and dismissed her from her place. She returned to her cushion in the corner.
"I'm bored." He moaned. "I want entertainment." he clapped his hands and in walked Joey and Mia dressed up in jester costumes. "Entertain me." He commanded.
"Bite me." They replied.
He glared at their rebellion and shot a powerful shot of light at the floor before them leaving a gaping hole. The two immediately jumped and began dancing and parading around the room.
"This is humiliating." Mia whispered to Joey.
"I know Mia but I don't think we have a choice in the matter. We either dance or he turns us into bacon bits and quite frankly I'd rather look like an idiot that something that should be on top of a salad" Joey whispered back.
"Good point." She said.
Thief laughed at the spectacle that went on for an hour before finally grew tired and went to bed.
Later that night, Tea and CJ sat alone in the dark. Neither could sleep. Both were trying to figure out how to get out of this mess.
"This is all my fault." CJ moaned.
"Let it go!" Tea said. "Blaming yourself isn't going to solve the problem, we need to figure out how to get out of here."
"You aren't mad at me?" CJ asked.
"No! You tried your best. I know that. We need to work together to get out of this mess." Tea told her.
CJ nodded even though Tea couldn't see her in the dark. "What should we do first?" CJ asked.
"Well, probably figuring out how to get out of these chains would be a good start." Tea said.
CJ looked down at her chains. She tried to find a break in them but they appeared to be solid. The then tried tugging at them but it only made them tighter. She flinched at the pain.
"No good." CJ said. "I think they're magic or something."
Tea sighed. "Great. How do we get them off now?"
CJ examined the room, looking for something that could help. That's when she noticed the bottle of lotion sitting in the moonlight. She'd noticed thief using it earlier on himself. She edged towards the bottle and tried to extend herself to reach the bottle but it was too far away.
"What are you doing?" Tea asked her.
She grunted. "I need that bottle. I have an idea."
Tea stood up and walked toward the bottle. She was much closer to it. She could just touch it with her fingertips. "Almost." Tea said. She stretched a little father causing the chains to tighten. She tapped the bottle off the table and it hit the ground. Both girls stared at the door, waiting for him to walk in but he never came. Tea reached down and picked up the bottle. She walked back to her seat and felt the chains loosen again. They really must have been magic. She tossed it to CJ who began to pour it on her wrists.
"What's your idea?" Tea asked.
CJ began to rub it all over. "I think if I make my hands slippery enough I can fit them through the cuffs." She said. She began to tug at the cuffs and she felt her hand begin to slip through. It was still too small though. She then walked over to her cushion and felt the chains get looser. This allowed her to pull her hands all the way through. "Half way there." She said. She then began to work at the ones on her ankles that came off even easier. "I'm free." She whispered to Tea.
She then moved over to her and worked at getting her free. Eventually they were both standing in the middle of the room.
"Ok Tea. I got us free. Now what?" CJ asked.
"Now we need to split up to get more done." Tea whispered. "You go and free Yugi and Tristan and I'll take care of Joey and Mia."
The two headed off in opposite directions of the palace. Thief must have put a lot of magic into building this place they thought.
Tea eventually found the room she was looking for. Joey and Mia were still awake sitting on their beds staring off into nothing. "Psssst." Tea tried to be as quiet as she could.
Joey looked up. "Tea. How'd you get loose?" He whispered.
"No time for that." She snapped. "Hurry up and come one."
Further down the hall CJ had found Tristan and Yugi and had used the lotion on their shackles to get them free.
"Okay, everyone should be free by now Yugi. What should we do next?" CJ asked.
"Well, the evil spirit is too powerful for us to take on right now so I suggest we find a way to make him weaker." Yugi explained.
"How do you plan on doing that?" Tristan asked.
"We need to steal back Yami and the puzzle." Yugi said.
"Oh? Is that all." Tristan snorted.
The three walked down the hall to Thief's bedroom. They carefully opened the door and walked in. Thief gave a loud snore from the bed. They all froze for a moment but then continued on.
Yugi snuck up to the bed and looked over to see the Puzzle and the spirit on a chain around his neck. He knew Yami was inside the puzzle again. He carefully stuck out his hands and began to lift up the puzzle. Thief stirred a little but didn't wake. Yugi lifted the puzzle completely off of him and placed it around his own neck. He felt Yami's presence and was glad to feel it again.
Both CJ and Tristan let out a big sigh. "That was close." CJ muttered.
Yugi turned and smiled at her then was quickly pulled back. He turned again to see Bakura's face full of anger and hate. Thief was choking him with the chain. Yugi knew he had to hurry. "Spirit of the Puzzle." Yugi choked. "I.rel.release you!"
The puzzle glowed and a brilliant light released from the puzzle. Yami appeared from the light next to Yugi.
"You little imp!" Shouted thief. "I should have killed you when I had the chance." He pulled tighter on the chain making it harder for him to breathe.
"Yugi!" Yami shouted. He tackled thief out of the bed causing Yugi to sink to the floor gasping for air.
Just then Tea, Mia and Joey ran into the room.
CJ wasn't sure what to do. She watched as Yami and the spirit that now possessed the man she loved, fought it out in the middle of the bedroom.
She decided she needed to take action. She ran over and grabbed the candelabra and moved up behind thief.
Right then thief blew Yami back with a powerful blast of energy causing Yami to hit the ground hard.
CJ took a swing at the back of thief head but he turned around lightning fast and held it in mid air.
"Hello love." He said. "How about a little privacy hmm?" His millenium ring glowed softly and everyone around them was frozen.
"What have you done?" She hissed.
"Just giving us some time alone." He chided.
His hand began to glow and the staff of the candelabra became too hot to hold. She let go from the pain. Thief turned around and walked over to a table. "Before I finish you off lets play a little game. I'll read you your fortune."
"Not interested." She said and made a move to kick him in the back of the head. She was suddenly paralyzed by the intense magic.
"I said I'm going to read you your fortune." He repeated yet never turned around. He shuffled the deck and laid down the card. "Let's see your past." He said and flipped over the card on the right. He revealed the guardian of the fortress. "Ah, this card means that you were the supporter of your family. They loved you very much didn't they? You took care of them well didn't you?"
She responded with a growl.
"Fine, be that way. Next I'll read you're present situation." He flipped over the card in the middle. He revealed the unhappy maiden. "Well, well, well now this is not a surprise at all. This card means that you're alone and there isn't a good thing in your life. Serves you right since you trampled all over the one good thing you had. Am I hitting any sore spots love?
She growled again.
"Good." He chuckled. "Now it's time to read your future." He flipped over the final card and gasped. "The change of heart card. My favorite card is your future? Does this mean that you are ready to accept yourself at my side?"
"Yes." She said.
He grinned. "Fantastic!" He released her from the spell and she brushed herself off. "I knew you'd come to your senses." He said.
"I did." She responded.
The room glowed again and all the others came back to life. "Great news everyone!" Thief exclaimed. "My queen has excepted my offer."
Everyone gasped. "CJ? How could you?" Tea glared at her.
CJ lowered her head.
"She got some sense back into her." Thief smiled. "Now it's time to put you all back in your places." He said and his millenium ring began to glow.
"Just as soon as I put you in yours." CJ shouted and hit him over the back of the head with the candelabra which had cooled off.
He hit the floor with a grunt. "What the hell?" He shouted.
She mocked him. "Sorry love. Had a change of heart."
He growled and quickly hopped to his feet. "You bitch!" He screamed and his ring began to glow again. The magic brought CJ to her knees. He walked forward and drew a knife from his belt.
"You will pay for that little prank." He hissed.
"CJ!" Everyone shouted and ran towards her but Thief used the magic of the millenium ring to hold them to their places. "I'll deal with all of you in a minute."
"Bakura! I know you can hear me in there. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I would never dream of hurting you." She told him.
"You idiot. Bakura is dead." Thief yelled and drew the knife closer.
Isn't that right?
Please don't.
"Bakura, I care too much about you to ever do such a thing to you. I should have told you but I was afraid of losing you but I list you anyway. Bakura I'm begging you to let us go. I love you."
"Shut up bitch!" Thief yelled and slapped her across the face.
Don't
Shut up Bakura! I'm going to finish this.
"Bakura! I love you! Please don't!" CJ pleaded.
Suddenly Thief grabbed his head in pain. "No!" He screamed. "Not now. We are so close. We can have it all."
CJ realized it was getting through. "Bakura! Don't listen to him. You're friends need you! I need you!" She shouted.
Thief let out another scream. "She's lying!" He hissed. "She's lying!"
I can't let you do this.
You must. You're nothing without me.
Wrong.
What?
I said you're wrong.
I'm not wrong. You're nothing.
Wrong, I'm me. I'm a friend to these people and I won't let you hurt then.
No. You're nothing. Nothing!
I'm Bakura.
The millenium ring glowed one more time causing the room to fill with the intense light. Suddenly Bakura's face looked different. He felt to his knees to weak to stand and dropped the knife. "I'm sorry." He whispered before passing out.
CJ caught him as he fell and began to cry. Everyone else stood silent.
It was over.
