Chapter 2 - Falling Souls
Days then soon weeks passed, since the horrible incident. Chikara's and Kaiba's injuries had healed slightly, but the CEO was well enough to walk on his own. Kaiba, who was allowed to return home whenever he pleased, along with Yugi and the others, made their way to Chikara's room and they found that the door was closed. Malik tried to open the door, but it would not budge. He took his fist and banged on the door.
"What's going on in there? Chikara, are you okay? Hello?" yelled Malik loudly as no reply came.
He stepped back and looked at the door. A doctor who was walking down the hallway and stopped, looking at the group who were standing in front of the door.
"Excuse me, sir. But can you tell us why this door is locked from the inside?" asked Yugi politely.
The doctor just looked at them, then walked over to the door and tried to open it.
"I don't know how this is possible. This door cannot be locked from the inside." Explained the doctor quickly.
The doctor took a ring of keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door. They opened the door and rushed inside. The room was empty and the window was open, with the blue curtains flapping from the warm summer air.
"How can this be?" said Kaiba as he walked over to the window and looked out. "We are on the second floor. She couldn't have....could she?"
"Well, she was here but she sure isn't here now," said Yugi.
At that precise moment, Kaiba's cell phone rang and he took it out of his trench coat pocket.
"This is Seto Kaiba, and who might this be," asked Kaiba quickly as he looked out of the window.
"....Seto...Kaiba..." Rasped the voice on the other end of the conversation.
"Who is this?" asked Kaiba, with a slightly nervous tone in his voice.
"Answer question....why did they have to...die.." said the voice slowly.
Kaiba froze when the person said those words. He slowly took the cell phone away from his ear and lowered his arm. Mokuba walked up to his older brother and tugged on his sleeve.
"Big brother? What's the matter?" he asked innocently.
Kaiba looked down at his brother then back at the cell phone as the voice spoke up again.
"They killed....so I'll kill them.." and then there was a dial tone.
Kaiba had an ailing feeling in his stomach when he thought of those last words that were just said. 'They killed...so I'll kill them..'
"Kaiba? Are you okay? You don't look that well," said Yugi as he looked at Kaiba nervously.
"It was Chikara...she is going to kill the people that crashed into the car.." he said quietly.
"Wait a minute. You can't be serious," cut in Tristan. "She's going to kill them? For sure?"
Kaiba nodded silently and kept looking out of the window.
"We have to find her immediately then," said Malik as he crossed his arms over his chest. "We have to find her before she gets out of control."
"But where would she be?" asked Joey as he scratched the back of his head.
Yami Bakura was just outside of the doorway and listened to the conversation very carefully. 'Hmm...so she has gone missing..interesting. I know exactly where she is..' And with that, he left the hospital silently, heading towards Chikara's house.
When he approached the house, everything was quiet and eerie in some sense. He slowly opened the front door and walked inside. The house was silent and it looked like it hadn't been touched since the accident. He walked down the front hallway and the floor creaked, making it seem like it was warning someone that another person was in the house. He stopped at one particular door that seemed to lead to the lowest level of the house. He wrapped his hand around the doorknob and turned it. He pulled the door open and was about to walk in when his light spoke up.
//Yami, what are you doing? What's going on? Where are we?// asked Bakura; he had just woken up in his soul room and he felt confused.
/ Hush, Bakura. I will explain this to you in a moment. For now, just be quiet./ answered Yami Bakura as he started walking down the stairs, into the darkened basement.
He stopped when he stepped on the floor and he tensed as he could feel something around him.
"So, you decide to investigate on your own without the help of others.." said Shadi as he stepped out of the shadows.
"And so what if that is true. I have no business with you, so leave me alone." Muttered Yami Bakura as he looked around.
"If you seek the young woman, she is somewhere else. I shall show you where she is, but you must be on extreme caution." Replied Shadi as he turned around and started walking into the depths of the shadows.
Yami Bakura muttered under his breath and followed the Egyptian soldier. After a few moments, he noticed that they have been walking for quite a while.
"Where are you taking me anyways. This cannot be a basement of a simple house.." said Yami Bakura as he looked at the darkness that surrounded them.
"Have patience, we have almost arrived." That was the answer and it was silent once again.
Shadi stopped walking and turned around to face Yami Bakura. "Before we see her, there are some details that you must consider.."
Yami Bakura crossed his arms and looked at Shadi. "And what do you plan on telling me.."
"The state that she is in is very dangerous. There was only one time that she was like this, and she was a child. She does not have a memory of her childhood very well and it was essential that she did not know about it," Explained Shadi.
"So you erased her mind somehow, correct?" asked Yami Bakura as he listened.
"Yes, we had no other choice." Answered Shadi as he turned away from Yami Bakura. "The burden of it would have been too great for her to handle. But the incident that happened recently...has dug her past up once again."
They continued walking until they came up to a doorway. Shadi stopped beside the door and motioned Yami Bakura that he could go inside. Yami Bakura cautiously walked inside and looked around. It was a room that was empty and Chikara was sitting in the back left corner. She sat there looking at the ground, not paying attention to anything else. Her eyes seemed distant and somewhat sad. Yami Bakura stopped 10 feet away from her.
/Bakura, I need you to speak with Chikara/ said Yami Bakura through the telepathic link with his lighter half.
//What's the matter with her? Does she know about her parents? // Asked Bakura quietly.
/Yes, she knows. Now do what I say./ hissed Yami Bakura impatiently.
The millennium ring glowed for a moment and Bakura was now standing in front of Chikara. He walked up to her and knelt down to her level.
/She still had he ankle brace, the cast and everything on./ said Bakura, quietly.
//Stop wasting time, Bakura, and get her moving...or at least talking/ mumbled Yami Bakura as he crossed his arms, in his soul room.
"Chikara, are you all right?" said Bakura quietly.
Chikara lifted her eyes from the floor and looked at Bakura, silently. She looked too sad and cold. She did not say a word and kept looking at Bakura, as if asking him to answer questions. Bakura hesitated for a moment then lifted Chikara's right arm.
"Come on, we have to get you back to the hospital. You are too injured to be out like this." He said calmly.
There was no answer or reaction. Bakura sighed uneasily and let go of Chikara's arm.
"We have to get you out of here. What's wrong? I am very sorry about your parents, and if there is anything that I can do to help, you can just ask." Whispered Bakura. "Now we have to go back. Kaiba is waiting for you also."
Chikara clenched one hand into a fists and averted her gaze back to the floor.
//Wrong comment..// muttered his Yami, uneasily.
Bakura thought in puzzlement. /What do you-/ and he was cut off by a hard blow to the stomach.
He backed up a couple of paces and fell to his knees, clutching his stomach.
Chikara slowly and unsteadily stood up, then said a few words that sounded like the rustle of dried leaves. "They killed....now I kill them...just like before."
