Bluefire shook her head. "Not lately." Bluefire looked over the edge of the
pool. "Oh, crap. Another one of those caped freaks." She could barely make
out his face, but saw some blood stains and recognized who he was. "Aw,
man! And he was the one that I hit with my car, too!"
"Oh no. Not again, please, not again." Aisling whimpered, tensing and starting to panic.
"Shh, it's all right love. It's okay, we're here, you're safe." Ryou said, holding her and me, trying to calm her down.
Bluefire, though, was in shock. "How did he recover?" Malik shrugged. "I have no clue."
"That's impossible! I was going at over 150 miles per hour when I hit
him! He should be roadkill! He should be splattered! He should be dead! Don't they ever quit?"
"No, they don't. Marik won't leave me alone, he still thinks he can use me to get to Seto. I don't want to go through that again, it almost destroyed me last time." Aisling whimpered, shaking like a leaf.
"So what do we do?"
"For one thing, we aren't letting him try anything." Yami told him.
"Right." Bluefire nodded and she tried to get out of the pool, but was stopped by Yami grabbing her arm.
"Yami, what are you doing?" "Wait. Don't leave yet. That's what he wants you to do."
"Why?"
" He wants to separate us from Aisling, so she's vulnerable. There's probably a couple more close by."
Aisling was trying to disappear in Ryou's arms. "What are we going to do?" "Well, we can't stay here forever. I'm freezing my ass off here." Bluefire said. "How are we going to "How so?"
"I don't know, but they have a weird way of sensing it, and they know how to fight it. That's how they were able to take me the first time, that and one of them snuck up on me and caught me off guard." "Fuck! So what else can we do? Can they see us in our normal forms?"
"I don't know, I never tried the glamour spell around them. Actually, Iris taught me after that incident." "Crap. "What do we do?" Malik asked.
"If I could get to my flamethrower, I could probably burn up those
freaks long enough for us to escape." Bluefire said.
"Couldn't you just Mind Crush them, Yami?" "Would that work on them?" Bluefire asked. "I mean, they're like the frickin' Energizer
Bunny: they just keep going and going. Besides, I don't think they have the required equipment."
"Actually, I saw Marik do that to a couple of them, but I don't know if it worked. It's worth a try though. I really just want to go back to the rooms." Aisling said. "Me, too."
Yami nodded. "All right." he said, mind crushing the Rare Hunters.
"Okay, everyone grab your stuff, and let's get out of here." Bluefire told them.
Aisling nodded. "Good idea." They all ran to the hotel rooms.
"Now what?"
"Hope the hunters Yami Mind Crushed don't recover this time and that there isn't more of them waiting for us."
"Me too. But these guys are like the Energizer Bunny." 'Malik, is there anyway to stop your Yami from sending those freaks out after us?"
Malik shook his head. "I have no idea. Sorry."
Aisling sighed. "It's okay, Malik. It's not your fault." Bluefire nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah. It's those freaks' faults. I know that they want Aisling and
for what they want her. But I can't think of anything else they would
want the rest of us." "It's just me they want. The only reason they're after you guys is because I'm with you. I'm sorry I got you guys into this mess. I just wish he'd leave me alone." Aisling told her. "It's okay."
"Yeah." Yami, Malik&Ryou said at the same time.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about it, love. We're with you no matter what."
Bluefire nodded."Yeah."
"Besides, we beat them once before, and we can do it again." Yami added.
"I hope so. Bluefire has a point about them being like the Energizer Bunny." Malik stated. "Be careful." "Aren't we always?" "No." "Enough. You don't want to give our location away, do you?" Bluefire spoke up."Actually, I don't have my link to Marik open right now."
"Okay, so that gives us a bit of an advantage and buys us a little time."
"I swear, if I never saw any of those morons again, it would be too soon."
"Same here. Now, let's get dressed and maybe get the hell out of here." "Where will we go?" "I have no idea. This'll only be for about a week, right?"
"Yeah. Why?" "I guess that it'll only take a week before we can get back and we
most likely won't have to deal with those caped freaks as much."
"I guess you have a point. But where else can we go? Bakura's probably still looking for us too."
"Most likely." "Well, we'd better hope that Marik and Bakura didn't join forces."
Aisling shuddered. "I don't even want to think about that possibility." "Neither do I." Ryou nodded. "Well, let's hope that that didn't happen yet."
Aisling nodded. "Hai, no kidding."
"So what do we do now?" Ryou asked. "I don't know." "Anybody got any ideas?" Malik asked.
"We have to find a way to beat them." Aisling said, her voice barely audible.
"How?" Ryou asked. "Yeah, Aisling."
Aisling sighed. "I don't know, but I'll try to think of something. If anyone has any brilliant ideas, now is really not the time to be shy about it." "I'm blank." Bluefire said, shrugging.
"So am I."
"I think I have an idea as to how we could lure him into a trap." Yami spoke up.
"Nani, Yami-kun?"
"We'll use you, or rather, an illusion of you." "Just exactly where are you going with this?" Bluefire asked.
"I think I know what he has in mind. And it just might work." Aisling told her. "I hope so. "Would you mind letting the rest of us in on this?" Malik asked.
" If Yami's thinking what I think he is, it's like this. I can create illusions, and really convincing ones at that. Another trick Iris taught me. Anyway, I'll create an illusion of myself somewhere really obvious, and when he tries to come after 'me', he'll fall right into our trap."
"Aisling, are you sure about this?" Ryou asked.
"Hai, I have to do something."
"So what kind of trap do we set up?" Bluefire asked.
"It was Yami's idea. Ask him, because I have no ideas." "Well?"
"Let's just say he won't be bothering any of us for a long time." I really hope this works." Aisling said with a really big sweatdrop. "Same here. But that's assuming he falls for it." Bluefire said.
"That's the tricky part. I don't want to think about what will happen if he doesn't." "But it's good to have a plan B." Bluefire said, thinking for a while. "I've got it!
Let's go to a pharmacy! There, we could find something that might stall
them for a while."
"All right. Is my disguise still holding up?"
Ryou nodded. "Hai."
"Good." "Now, do we know what to do?" Bleufire asked.
"Yeah." Everyone else said in unison.
"Okay, let's go."
"I'm with you." Aisling said. "Good. Don't worry, it'll be all right." Bluefire said, smiling.
"I hope so." Aisling said nodding, not looking at anyone.
"Oh no. Not again, please, not again." Aisling whimpered, tensing and starting to panic.
"Shh, it's all right love. It's okay, we're here, you're safe." Ryou said, holding her and me, trying to calm her down.
