Hey Kim. No, I didn't jab you, other reviewers.
Thanks for a nice review, Portcullis. I understand what you're saying, and yes, I went too fast for the first few chapters. I'm going to address Yami & Angel in the later chapters. Past, ect. Um… yeah, I'm 13. Well, I'll be 14 in a few months. Just a bitty difference. Thanx for you're support, I think some people were set off by my first chapter. ^__^ Tell me if you end up with a sequel, it would be nice to see how things turn out.
Black: Hey. I don't *always* say meh. It's just a habit. I'm red's evil Yami for heaven's sake! I don't have to care!
-_-' *sigh* well, she's right.
Okie. New chappie with some lovely Yami and a start of things to come.
White: yey!! Almost there!
Black: oi. Takin' long enough.
School! It's all that horrible monster's fault! Plus the fact that I'm now going to private school and it is whay harder than my old one. I have at least an hour of homework every night and I'm too tired to write.
White: Which is bad.
Black: another bad thing: she wants to start a yoari K/R fic.
Unhunh. I can't do more than one at a time so I gotta get going on this one before I decide to cut it off!
Black: NOOOOOOO!!!! My precious!!!! Wait. I like the other one more.
Oh whatever…
White: Red doesn't own anything. 'cept Angel. Too bad! ^_^'
Chapter #5: Finding
When Yugi woke up he found Yami already up, waiting for him.
"Angel's been away for too long," the spirit said, nodding towards the calendar.
"She said a week."
"Did she say where she was staying?" Yugi asked, frowning.
"Just that she was in the city."
"Do you have a phone number?"
"No."
"Rather mysterious, isn't she? Do you know anyone who would know her?"
"Fate's her mother. That's it." Yami was feeling frustrated. He felt that he needed to be with her right now, for some reason.
"How are we supposed to speak to Fate?"
"Know any good psychics?" Yugi joked.
"Actually, that's a good idea…" Yami mused.
~`~,*`~,~
Joey led them into a small room and wrung the small bell on the table. Yugi steeled himself, knowing that this was important to his friend.
"Who is it?"
An incredibly old lady pushed aside a beaded curtain and come into the room, feeling around ahead of her with a stick. Yugi looked at her eyes and shuddered. They were milky white with cataracts. She was completely blind. When Yugi was feeling like this wasn't such a good idea, Yami spoke up.
"Let me out. I want to talk to her, Yugi. This is my problem." Yugi gave way and felt Yami's cool confidence fill him.
"So, which one of you is it? One of you boys or the girl?"
Everyone started when the old lady spoke up.
"Me." Yami said quietly.
"Ah… a spirit, hmm? Oh well, business is business. Come along young man."
The old woman led the way into one of the back rooms and gestured to a stool in front of a large old wing-backed chair. She sat her self down with a sigh and then turned her sightless eyes on Yami.
"So, what would you like done? I could banish you if you want, or contact the others in the spirit realm…"
"No," Yami said seriously.
"I need to speak directly with Fate."
"If she will listen, I can let you speak with her."
The sibyl folded her hands on top of her staff and took a deep breath. When she let it out, it seemed that there was a powerful current of electricity running through the room.
"Pharaoh. You wish to know where my daughter is. Are you sure?"
Yami looked up in surprise at the woman seated in the chair. It seemed as though there was a powerful aurora surrounding her. This powerful voice was speaking through the lady's mouth.
"Yes," he said decisively.
"She is on the docks protecting that which I have entrusted her with. I believe she could use some help, but if you go, beware…"
The feeling of power in the room vanished and Yami realized that the woman was sleeping.
"Thank you," he whispered.
Placing some money on a table, he stepped outside and felt a drop of rain hit his head.
"Are you sure?" Yugi echoed Fate's words to Yami.
"If anything happens, I'll deal with it," Yami replied grimly.
"Let's go," he said out loud. They headed out to the docks as Yami explained to his friends what had happened.
~`~,*`~,~
When they finally reached it they split up, each taking a different numbered pier. Joey was looking around the end of one when all of a sudden he saw a girl about his age sitting on a crate. She had a long halberd with her and Joey wondered why she was armed with such an out-dated weapon. He watched him, out of sight, wondering if she was the person they were looking for.
Yami was checking under a tarp when Tea came running up followed by a tall blond.
"Yugi!" Tea called. "Mia said she saw a girl around here, by where Joey went."
Mia nodded and folded her arms across her chest.
"Let's go," he said, heading off in the direction of Joey's pier.
When they arrived they were met with a hilarious scene. Angel was sitting with her legs crossed on a crate with Joey lying on the ground in front of her, tied up and with Angel's halberd at his throat. He looked annoyed and pained with a large bruise on his eye that looked like it would turn into a huge black eye.
Tea doubled up with laughter and Mia smiled sweetly at the trussed-up blond, instantly liking the new girl. Yami approached Angel and she asked: "You know him?"
"Yes," he said firmly, a small smile on his face.
She let the blade fall and with a flick of her wrist cut Joey's bindings. She jabbed the end of the pole into the boards and hugged Yami tightly.
"Sorry," she whispered into his ear. "I meant to, but I didn't know when the hole would show up, so I couldn't leave."
"Are you okay?" he asked, releasing her.
"A little hungry, but unscathed," she admitted.
All of a sudden Joey yelled, "What the hell is that?"
They both turned sharply and there was a large black hole, widening slowly, swallowing things up.
"Get back!" Angel snapped, grabbing her halberd and Joey by the scruff of the neck and dragging him a ways away from the expanding darkness. Everyone followed her lead and took a step back. It stopped enlarging, but remained the same, a threatening expanse of nothing.
"This is what you were talking about?" Yami asked, keeping his eyes on the circle.
"Yup," she said grimly, turning to him. "I need you to get out of here with your friends. You're civilians."
"I'm a civilian?" he raised his eyebrows with a small smile.
"I know, I know," she sighed, waving a hand. "But you owe the guy whose body you're using."
"I'm not leaving you by yourself," Yami said staunchly, Yugi mentally agreeing, trying to keep up with his partner's confidence.
"Yami, honey… I need to stay. It's my job; I was born to do this." When Yami didn't move she sighed and dug into her pocket and produced a stack of Duel Monster cards.
"Look, take my deck. I'll be back to get it."
As she held it out to him they all felt a tug from the hole as if it sensed the presence of the cards. Not strong enough to pull them in, but the top card on Angel's deck lifted up, briefly showing an angel with wings outstretched, arms lifted beseeching the angry sky before it lifted to the pull and got sucked towards the hole. Yami recognized Angel's favorite creature, the extremely rare effect monster card called Prophetess of Doom.
"No!" she exclaimed and jumped after it. She felt herself get caught by the tug and was being pulled towards the opening. To everyone's surprise, there was a brief glow and a form of an angel was floating, instead of the card, trying its best to get out of the stream.
"Angel!" Yami exclaimed and reached out an arm, too late.
His movement exposed his deck in the inside pocket of his jacket and he saw a brief glimpse of his Dark Magician before it, too was pulled in. Another flash and the magician himself were fighting in the air.
Angel's card vanished, swallowed by the darkness.
Yami heard a few more exclamations of surprise and Tea's magician of Faith, Joey's Flame Swordsman and Mia's Harpy Lady were all struggling against the irresistible pull.
Yami watched, hopeless as his Dark Magician and Angel both disappeared at the same time. He had a sudden feeling that this hole wasn't really dangerous and he could get both beloved people back if he only joined them. He started walking forward until the hole caught at him and pulled him towards it. It was like trying to swim up a powerful river.
His friends watched, horrified, as he was swallowed as well. They all felt an inexplicable depression come over them. All three cards disappeared together into the hole.
Tea, crying, stepped forward first and the hole grew slightly to catch her. She was swept away quickly.
Joey was next, succumbing to the fact that his best friend had been sucked into this hole of nothingness.
Mia was the last to give in, her solitary nature almost saving her, but the memory of her new friends dragged her forward and she was sucked in as well.
~`~,*`~,~
Tristan looked over to the pier where Joey was supposed to be, thinking he heard a noise. To his surprise, he saw a large black hole swallowing his friends! He ran as fast as he could towards the pier, but by the time he got through the maze of crates and shipping materials they were gone. He watched as the hole slowly shrunk and vanished. He walked over slowly to where it had been and looked around. They were all gone!
~`~,*`~, ~
Black: muahaha! We get going, finally! Only one more chapter left! ^__^
White: that' when the real story gets going. In mélange, what everyone wants to read. Well, we hope so.
What about you, Kim? Anything you want to see in the new world? I'm putting in anything that comes to mind, so whatever's good.
White: elves, majic…
Black: killing, fighting…
White: romance…
Black: death…
^__^ I have a very active imagination. Actually, any lucky reader can tell me something to put in. I will, promise. Even a relationship or two, but if you want Yami or Kai, you're going to have to go through Angel and Celeste and chances are, you won't win. But anyone else is fine.
Black: if someone wants Tala they'll have to go through my… er…intense filter system. ^__^'
So, I know this chapter wasn't very descriptive or anything, but when I wrote it out I actually wrote the NEXT one first, so since it's basically the same I didn't want to bore people with repition. So, the next one is significantly better.
Alrighty, see ya!
Red
White: clicky clicky!
