Chapter Three - Journey To a New Home

Yami fell to his knees and drew in deep breaths, passers by giving him odd looks. He had been running for so long, yet he didn't know how long. Taking in a deep breath, he pushed himself weakly to his feet, stumbling and leaning his shoulder against a lamp post for support. He lifted his hand in frount of him, then beside him, pushing himself away from the wall and forward, running at an unusually slow pace from his exaustion.

Yugi had been taken around five o' clock, and it was now dusk. Still he kept on going. If he lost the faint magic signal, it would be almost impossible to find it again. So he continued on, the signal getting weaker as he ran along the road in the countryside. His vision was blurred and he collapsed once again from exaustion to his knees, trying to push himself up again, but his arms gave way under him. "Yugi..." He mumbled before slipping into darkness.

-----------

Yugi opened his eyes slowly and yawned. He had fallen asleep in the car ride, lying down on the back seat. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he sat up and looked out the window sleepily. "Where the heck are we going?" He asked when he saw how dark it was outside. The sky was a dark blue, which melted in red near the horizon, and a few stars were visible.

Jirito looked back lazily at his son then back at the road ahead of him. "My home, about a mile outside Crimson City." he replied lazily.

Yugi's eyes went wide and his mouth fell open in shock. Crimson City?! That was miles away from Domino, and it didn't have a very good reputation. It had one of the highest crime levels around. Most of the people there have had a criminal record of some kind or another, and all those people were very nasty. Not to say they were all bad, there are a few good people, but not many. Even though they were outside the city, he still felt unsafe.

Then again, he didn't feel safe with his father either.

Finnally the car stopped. Yugi looked out but couldn't see much out the window. As he tried to see through the foged up window, the door opened and he yelled a bit from fright, jumping and pushing himself as far away from Jirito as he could. When he reached the other side of the car and his back hit the door, somethin slammed up against the window, fangs bared, barking loudly. Once again, he jumped away from fear, but this time Jirito caught his arm roughly and pulled him out of the car so he fell on the floor. A dobermen leapt around the side off the car and began barking madly at him. Yugi put his arm ovre his face to try and block whatever attack the dog swung at him, but he heard Jirito yelling at it before it fell silent.

Yugi looked up at him in confusion and he pointed at the dog, who had found a stuffed animal and was tearing and ripping it's head off. "This is Killer, and that's what he'll do to you if you try to leave." He warned, dragging Yugi to his feet and pulling him forward. The house didn't lok at all welcome, it was dark and cold, and surronded by a barbed wire fence. Yugi felt like he was in a prison, and he knew that's just what he might be treated like, a prisoner.

-----------

Yami opened his eyes slowly, vision blurred, but he could feel the mud under his palms, which showed he hadn't ben moved from were he'd fallen the night before. Weakly, he dragged his hands towards him and pushed himself up onto his hands and knees, looking around. It was late morning, and the sun was high in the sky, birds flying around and singing, but he had no time to enjoy the summer day. He had to find Yugi, and fast, before something happened to him.

Closing his eyes, he once again tried to sence Yugi, but there was no signal. Getting worried now, he looked around. From what he could see, there weren't any crossroads or anything of the sort. Maybe he could find the signal again before he came to one. But then...they could be anywere by now. With that thought weighing on his mind, he walked in the dirrection he knew Yugi was, tring to save a bit of his strength.

Suddenly, he sneezed loudly and put his hand on his forehead. "Great...fever..." He mumbled, and shut his eyes, trying to clear his head. Stubbornly, he opened his eyes and continued on, but slowly as he began to feel dizzy.

-----------

Yugi awoke with an acking pain in his back. But then, sleeping on a wooden floor in a living room with nothing to warn him but a moth-eaten blanket he'd found in the corner of the room. Jirito had let killer to the coach and retreated to his own room. Yugi walked over to the window and looked out at the sun. On a day like this, he usually went to the park with his friends, or just go for a walk around town, once or twice they'd even gone to the beach, but he couldn't do that now. He was confined to this house and the small garden in front of it, which was more like a small wasteland.

What bugged him the most was, what did his father want with him? Why was he here?

-----------

Jirito opened his bedroom door slightly and peeked out, spoting Yugi looking out the window, in a world of his own. "Soon, my son, you shall pay, and I shall have my revenge..." He mumbled and gripped something on his belt under his trenchcoat.
