Chapter Five
Two weeks later, and Yami was able to remove himself from his bed. His shoulder still stung, but that was it. Yugi learned how to read and write, and seemed to take a liking to his 'Uncle' Jono. Honda started filling Yami in on Pegusas, and who the bastard was that shot him.
"Bakura, huh?" Yami mussed, as he sipped his coffee.
"Yes. Pegusas adopted him after his parents died in the war. But I don't see why he would have the heart for him. Pegusas is cold, and loves nobody except his dead wife who he tries to bring back. When will he learn that he can not bring back the dead."
"What do you mean?" Yami asked.
"Okay, they say there was this lab that exploded, and Pegusas was very upset. His wife's body was in there and so was a young boy. The others he had no intreast in, but he seemed to have this desire for the boy. He was a bit mad a bout his wifes, but that was a mechanical body and could be made agian."
Yami's eyes widened as he remembered that day that he had found Yugi. Anger raged, and his hands trembled so much, the cup shattered.
"Pegusas, that sick shesiji," Yami snarled, as he pounded his fist on the table. "How dare he! How dare he experiment on innocent children! Do you know the reason?"
Honda's eyes narrowed.
"The boy was said to be an experiment and if it succeeded then they would do so on her. I don't know what it was, but...something that had to do with souls."
Yami angrily clenched his fists. So Yugi was an experiment to Pegusas. And he did this cruel thing to him so he could bring his wife back.
"He's sick," Yami spat.
***************************************************************
"Don't worry Yug. I bet Yami would be happy to receive you're gift," Jono said reassuringly, as Yugi held a daisy.
They had been traveling through the tunnel underground, and Yugi meracously found a daisy. Jono had been shocked. All plants and flowers had been swept out of existence. Only buildings and mechanics were seen. Yugi smiled as he gripped Jono's hand, and was led to where the 'kitchen' was. They suddenly stopped as they heard something shatter.
"Pegusas, that sick shesiji," they heard Yami snarl. "How dare he! How dare he experiment on innocent children! Do you know the reason?"
There was a pause.
"The boy was said to be an experiment and if it succeeded then they would do so on her. I don't know what it was, but...something that had to do with souls."
"He's sick."
Yugi's eyes became blank as something shocked his mind. He trembled and collasped to his knees.
"Yugi?" Jono asked in concern as he kneeled beside him.
"Lab?...experiment?" Yugi whispered.
"Yug, calm down..." Jono tried, but Yugi wouldn't listen.
Yugi felt that familiar jerk in his chest, and was consumed with anger.
"I'M NOT AN EXPERIMENT!!! I AM HUMAN!!! MY SOUL IS MY OWN!!!"
Jono stared, completely clueless in what he was talking about.
"Damn it!" Jou cussed, as he tried to calm the angered one down.
There was shuffling in the kitchen and Yami and Honda appeared.
"Yugi?" Yami asked as he eased his way in front of Yugi.
That voice. Yugi felt Yami's voice wash over him, and winced as the jerk pulled harder then what he usually felt. He shuddered violently, and collapsed forward into Yami's open arms.
"Yugi?!"
"I...not experiment," he whispered, before slowly closing his eyes.
**************************************************************
Bakura cursed as he searched for any sign of those bastards who dared interfer with him. He swore he would cut off their heads and make them into trophies! After a week of tracking, he found a lead and found himself underground. Many tunnels had twisted and turned, but Bakura wasn't fooled. He kneeled to the ground and brushed off the dust that veneered the footprints.
"So, a fresh track," he murmered, and silently walked through the twisted maze.
Several hours later, he heard voices, and crept even more silently.
"Yug? Yug?"
"Yugi, please wake up."
"Hey, kid. Come on, wake up."
Bakura slowly reached for his pistol and loaded it with a click and hid behind a wall of rock. He glanced at the group that was trying to wake the boy. He growled silently. It was that boy at that lab he destroyed. The one his Father was so insistent in getting done.
'You filthy robot won't take my father,' he thought bitterly as he aimed.
Thinking he had the surprise attack, but he was very wrong.
***************************************************************
Honda stopped, and closed his eyes as he concentrated. Someone was here. He silently scanned the dark dim cave, and started when he saw a shadow behind a wall of rock. He saw the flash of metal and assumed it was a gun.
'That fucken bastard found us!' he growled.
He heard the click and saw that the point was aimed at the unconsious boy.
'No!' he thought, and threw himself in front of him. 'I can't have another innocent die!'
There was a loud bang that echoed through out the cave, and Yami and Jono stared as Honda let out a scream. He fell with a grunt, and blood soon started to cover the floor. Jono immediately reacted, and pulled out his rifle and started shooting continuously. In the dim lighting of the cave, he saw a shadow retreat.
'If you think you can get away with this, you are highly wrong,' Jou snarled as he hauled Honda over his shoulder.
"Run!" he shouted at Yami.
Yami was a bit slow in his shocked daze, but was able to pick up Yugi and run through the kitchen and into the other hole on the other side. Jono followed close behind, glancing behind his back once in a while.
**************************************************************
They emerged into the freezing day, and collapsed on the stair case of the stone library. Jono leaned Honda against one of the statues and examined the wound.
"Jono..." came a weak voice.
Jono looked up, and saw Honda's glassy tired eyes looking at him.
"Don't talk buddy. I'll have you fixed soon," Jono muttered.
"No, Jono. I ain't...going to make it."
"Don't say that! You've been through worse. Don't punk out on me now!"
"Jono...(wince)listen. I...have little...time. The bastard...is after...Yugi and...Yami. Protect them...and avenge...my love..." Honda muttered as his eyes clouded and moved no longer.
Jono stared.
"No...no. HHHHHHHOOOOOOOONNNNNNNDDDDDDAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
Yami tiredly looked at Jono, and his eyes widened when they fell on the dead body. Honda leaned there, eyes open, mouth slightly opened with blood dribbling from the side. A huge hole was in his stomach, and blood gushed out. Jono pounded the snow with his fist, cursing Bakura.
"Mmmmmmmmmmm.......Yami?"
Yami started and glanced down at Yugi.
"Yugi, are you alright?" he asked in concern.
"Yes. Where Uncle Jono and Honda?"
"Honda's dead. He's not with us anymore. He's up there," Yami explained softly as he pointed up to the sky.
Yugi looked up, and saw tiny snowflakes starting to fall. He slowly sat up and saw Jono crying.
"Uncle Jono?"
Jono stopped beating the statue and looked up. He smiled, though Yami could tell it was forced, as he kneeled before the awakened boy.
"Yug. You alright little buddy?" he asked as his voice trembled.
"Uncle Jono. You...crying?"
"Aw, it's nothing," Jono said as he rubbed his tears away. "Come on, Honda said Bakura was after you guys, and I'll be willing to protect you with my life."
Yami looked shocked, but then nodded.
"Thank you."
"Honda?" Yugi asked. "Honda coming?"
Jono's eyes watered again, and embraced Yugi tightly.
"No, Honda can't come Yugi."
"But...Yami said he in sky. He can fly with us..." Yugi protested. "Like a bird."
"I'm sorry Yug. He's just not coming. Not this time."
"And what a sappy conversation this turned out to be," came a snarl.
They turned sharply, and Jono bared his teeth at the albino.
"You fucking Bastard! You killed my friend! Now you're going to pay!" Jono shouted, and lifted his rifle. "Yugi, go to Yami. Yami, run."
Yami picked Yugi up, but did not move.
"What are you doing! Run!" Jono shouted.
"No! I'm sticking by you!" Yami shouted.
"Don't be a fucking moran! Ru...ah!" Jono cried out as he was hit in the shoulder.
He crashed to the snow and blood started staining it's white pallid color.
"Jono!"
"Uncle Jono!"
Yami put Yugi down, and gave him a little push.
"Go Yugi! Run!"
Yugi shook his head.
"I stay with Yami and Uncle Jono!" Yugi said.
"Yugi please!"
"No!"
"Yugi!"
Jono got up and winced, but held his rifle in a strong grip. He glared as he started charging at Bakura.
"This is for Honda!" he shouted, as he whacked Bakura with his rifle in the gut, but Bakura had also fired, and hit Jono in the neck.
He chocked and once he touched the ground, he suffocated from the blood that blocked his air pipe. He was gone. Bakura snarled, and kicked Jono's body, then turned his eyes to Yami. Yami stood striaght and met glare for glare.
"You will hand the boy to me, and maybe I'll consider in sparing you," Bakura said, growling.
Yami stood protectively in front of Yugi.
"Go to hell you fucken asshole!" Yami shouted.
"Have it you're way," and aimed his gun at Yami's head, as he strode closer to the pair.
Yami felt fear creep up, but he refused to run away. He would protect Yugi, no matter what.
"No stop!" came a shout.
Startled, Bakura turned and his finger pulled the trigger. The man that had shouted, cried out, then slowly slumped against one of the pillars that held the stone roof of the library that jutted out.
"Grandpa!" Yami screamed in horror.
"That was only one interference. The next time, I garentee that I won't miss you're head!" and aimed once again.
"Bakura! Stop!"
Bakura turned sharply, and to Yami's surprise, fear was in his eyes, as he watched a man come out of a limo. He was tall, and had on a red suit, and had white hair that reached his shoulders. He did not look happy with Bakura, and strode to him stiffly.
"Bakura, that is enough. You are a disgrace to me," he sneered and stripped off his agent band.
He then turned to Yami, and his eyes lit up in delight as he saw the small child looking at him from behind Yami's coat.
"Yugi," he said. "How nice to see you again."
Yami sneered.
"Who are you!" Yami spat.
"I should introduce myself, I am Pegusas J. Crawford."
Yami's rage went over and his hand clenched.
"So you're the fucken asshole bastard that had Yugi as an experiment! You wretched bastard!" he shouted as he charged at him with a fist.
Pegusas easily caught it, and twisted his wrist, so he cried out. His knee was jammed into Yami's stomach and was thrown to the ground. Yugi stared with wide eyes and ran to his unconsious comrade.
"Yami? Yami?" he asked as he shook him.
"Yugi, you will be coming with me now," Pegusas said sweetly as he opened the limo for him.
Yugi shook his head.
"No. I stay with Yami," he declared, but Pegusas was one that always got what he wanted.
"Panic, would you..." he started, and Panic nodded and removed himself from the limo.
He pulled out a tool that had a screw drivers handle, but at the end was what looked like an electric socket, and electrcity could be seen flowing over it. He grabbed Yugi's arm, and jabbed it into his neck. Yugi's purple eyes became dull gray, and he fell into Pegusas's open arms.
"Grab the other boy will you. He knows to much."
"Yes sir," and threw Yami into the trunk.
Once Yugi was taken into the black limo, the daisy in his hand fell silently to the ground, and lay there as small snow drops fell over it.
