A/N: hello people. Sry it took me so long to update. I got a writer's block for the next chapter so I started to write the chapters after it so now it might take longer to update. SORRY!!! I'll try to update when I can, but as you can tell, I'm quite busy.

Chapter 4

Ryou's POV

I woke up to Kyah in my -- well, Bakura's room as she was hyperventilating somewhat and staring off in space. Sitting up, I asked quietly, "What's wrong, Kyah?"

She snapped her head in my direction and gained control of her breathing. "Well," she gulped. "A - apparently Kit was kidnapped by Marik and Malik."

"What?!"

"After she got dueling to save you, Maya, and Bakura, she went to run some errand and hasn't been back since!"

"How do you know she was kidnapped, let alone by Marik and Malik?" I asked.

"Maya and Bakura seemed to be very confident that that was what had happened. Besides, even if Kit got lost in the city, she would've been back by now!"

I sighed, trying to take this all in. " So -- so where are Maya and Bakura now?"

"They, uh, I think they went to go find her. But I don't remember where they went. Oh god, what if Kit gets hurt or -- or killed?!"

I got out of bed and walked towards Kyah in attempt to calm her down. "I understand your concern for Kit, but you have to calm down. The last thing we need is to worry about another person." As I said that, a thought struck me. A few hours ago I was that other person that people were worrying about. I remember being thrown across the room and being pushed like a useless doll when Marik had found me and Maya trying to escape. I just hope Kit isn't going through the same thing or worse.

Kyah snapped me out of my daze as she said, "You have to lay down! Maya and Bakura told me to make sure that you're okay and -- and -- you have to lay down!"

I rolled my eyes; I am really getting sick of people overreacting when I get injured. Although my muscles ached and I felt light-headed, I was fine. Maya even stitched up my cut from Marik. "I'm fine." I answered irritably. "Anyway, don't you think we should find the others and tell them?"

"It's late though."

I glanced at the clock. "9:00 isn't too late. Everyone will still be up. If Maya and Bakura don't come back with anything about Kit, we need all the help we can get."

"Okay." Kyah answered as she got up to go downstairs.

But we were both met by Joey, leaning against the doorframe. "Kit's been kidnapped?"

Bakura's POV

After having walked back and forth to that stupid abandoned building before, I was sure not to get lost going back home this time.

Stupid Maya, why did she have to say something to the effect that I like Kit? I don't! The only reason I'm in a hurry to find her is because she's my responsibility! It's a give rule by all Millennium item holders that if you tamper with other dimensions, you are held responsible for what happens. If Kit gets injured or murdered, I'll be faced with yet another punishment that's likely to be given by Shadi. It's bad enough to have my soul locked into a Millennium item, but being locked in my soul room for another millennia is worse.

Although, it does kind of seem that I like Kit. But that was because my plan didn't work out the way I had wanted it to. I made Ryou jealous only so he could let go of Kit and I could send her back to her own world. I couldn't just let Kit go back because then Ryou, out of pure obsession, would sooner or later figure out how to bring her back. I have to admit, I made a major mistake bringing Kit here because I acted on impulse. And now I'm screwed because Kit got kidnapped and now Kyah has some relationship going on with Yami. I can't just make everyone forget about Kit and Kyah and vice versa. That's another stupid rule of bringing others here from another place, I can't use my memory erase on them. Damnit.

In no time, Maya and I made it back to my house. I walked in thinking of ways to find Kit, all having major flaws in them. The screaming coming from upstairs interrupted my thoughts.

"How the hell did she get kidnapped?"

"I don't know! I wasn't there!"

I silently walked up the stairs just to see Joey and Kyah in a useless screaming fight and Ryou trying to calm them both down.

"SHUT-UP YOU FOOLS!" I yelled. That got their attention. "Listen, screaming at each other is pointless. Right now, we need to get everyone we can to come here to brainstorm. The sooner we cooperate; we'll have a better chance of finding Kit.

Marik's POV

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby! Kit taunted.

/ SHUT-UP!/

Why should I obey orders from a CRY BABY?

I suddenly turned to Kit and wrung my hands around her neck. At that action, I also felt someone grab my hair and pull me back into my seat, forcing me to let go of Kit, including the control on her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" My yami growled into my ear.

I whimpered slightly toward my yami then turned to Kit again only to see her fake crying with tears saying, "Hey look! I'm Marik!"

At that point, I was so annoyed, I disregarded my yami's warning and decked Kit.

"Fuck!" Kit responded as she rubbed the side of her face.

Satisfied with my punch, I turned around, only to see Malik super pissed off.

"You two, knock it off!" Malik whispered threateningly to us.

Both me and Kit, frightened by Malik, turned to stare directly in front of us. Five minutes passed and everything was fine, we all sat like drones, never talking to each other. That is, until something poked me in the left side. I abruptly turned my head to see what it was and only found Kit to be side glancing me and smirking. She mouthed the words 'cry baby' and went back to staring out the window.

It's all my yami's fault that this annoying bitch is here. He decided to bring her back and bring her along with us. And now I had to put up with this. I would control her again, but that makes matters worse since she's more talkative through mind links.

Why the fuck did I have to cry? Of all the times my yami did -- that -- to me, I cried that one time.

//It's because you're weak.//

/ Stop reading my thoughts!/ I yelled through the mind link. I'm so sick and tired of not being able to keep anything to myself.

//Giving me orders now, are you? Have you not learned your lesson? Do I need to give you a harsher punishment? // My yami taunted as usual.

I just sat back and tried to think about something else, but I failed. I really hate having someone like Malik control my life for me.

// There goes that contradiction again. You control, but hate to be controlled. Shame on you, Marik, for being such a hypocrite.//

Ugh! I really hate him. It's a good thing he'll have to put up with Kit. Ha, I can't wait to see my yami struggle with Kit.

Then again, how do I know those two won't just sit around all day and talk shit about me? How do I know they won't get others, such as themselves, to torment me?

/Malik, Kit's mine. /

// You really want her? //

/ As a mind slave, yes. /

// Heh, fine. Go ahead, you can have her after I have my revenge on her. But remember, if she causes any trouble ---"

/ I know, I know. /

// ::laughs:: Good luck. // Malik laughed.

Oh Ra, what did I just get myself into?
