Why Are You Doing This?
Chapter 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I leaned against the wall and sighed. I still can't believe that someone we trusted did this to us. Rosetta...why? It's not like you to betray us and turn us over to someone. Even with the bracelet...the bracelet! That's what's controlling Rosetta. I need to know how she got it and how to get rid of it.
A sound next to me made me move. I looked down and saw my Hikari start to awake. His violet eyes opened slowly and it pained me to see that the once sparkling look was gone. He looked up at me and smiled. Such a sad smile he had.
"Morning Yami, although I don't know if there's a difference between day and night here."
"Morning Yugi. I doughty think there is. Did you sleep well, you seemed to be having nightmares while you slept."
He shifted his weight and looked away.
/I dreamed that you got killed trying to protect me. /
I was surprised by the fact he dreamed about such a thing and that our connection link was still open here.
//It's okay Aibou. I'm here and fine so don't worry. //
He slowly nodded and looked to where Ryou and Bakura were. I followed his gaze. Ryou was leaning against Bakura and the two of them were sleeping. I smiled, no matter how ruthless he acts; even Bakura had a soft side.
"Should we wake them?" Asked Yugi next to me.
"Sounds like a good idea." I replied.
I signed for him to say and I stood up. Yugi understood and watched as I made my way across the dark room. When I was near enough, I knelt down and started to shake Ryou. After a few moments his chocolate eyes opened up. He blinked at me then smiled.
"Morning Yami." He said as cheerfully as possible.
"Good morning Ryou. I'm sorry I woke you up but we need to figure a way out of here."
He mealy nodded and started to wake Bakura. After a while the tomb raider woke up. He looked at his counterpart angrily.
"I was sleeping, you better have a good reason to wake me up Ryou." He growled.
"I told him to Bakura." I explained.
"I've told you countless times, don't listen to him." Bakura told us glaring at me.
I glared back and it seemed like the tension between us was awakening again. Yugi must have sensed it too because he was running over and stood between us. His pleading eyes watched us.
"Yami, Bakura please don't. We need to work together if we ever want to leave." He told us.
I gazed at him then Bakura. With a sigh I walked away. I could hear my little Aibou following.
"I'm happy to see that you two are awake." Said another voice near the end of the room. I looked up to see Rosetta standing there with a tray of food in her hands. She smiled at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked standing in a protective matter over Yugi.
"Relax Pharaoh. I won't hurt the boy or his friends. I don't need you to die on me, so I brought you some food."
"Why?"
"Like I said, I need you alive. The millennium items won't work if you're dead."
She looked at me with a smile. A table appeared by us and she walked up and placed the tray down. The food was piled into some piles over it. She looked back up and saw the suspicion in my eyes. A smile crepe at the corners of her mouth.
"Don't worry Yami. I won't kill you, the food is edible."
She looked at Bakura. She nods to him and started to walk away. I wanted her to stay. I didn't understand why but I found myself calling to her.
"Wait!"
She turned around. "What?"
"Why are you doing this?"
She watched me carefully. I kept the gaze, unfazed back to her. The room was silent for the longest time before she spoke.
"I do this because my Yami says it's for the best."
"If your Yami said jump off a bridge would you?" I questioned.
"I have to do what my Yami says. So I would do anything, even if it means capturing my friends."
With that she disappeared. Everyone stood still for the longest time. It was Yugi who finally moved. He walked over to the tray and picked up some food. I was about to stop him when he ate it.
"Aibou! You don't know what's in there!" I yelled.
"Its...a...piece...of...toast...Yami." He said in between bites.
I sighed and walked over to him. He was eating some fruit when I picked up a breakfast bar. After examining it carefully I took a bite. The taste was good and I didn't feel sick so I continued. After a while all the food was gone. The four of us sat around and talked.
"Yami?" Asked Yugi next to me.
"Yes, Yugi?"
"If she wants all the items wont that mean she would need to catch the others?"
"Yes and they would join us here..."
"Will she?"
"I doughty it." Said Bakura looking around the room.
We all looked suspiciously at him. "Why'd that Bakura?"
He sensed our suspicion and laughed. "I'm just saying, Pharaoh, she's gonna have a hard time getting Shadi. He's too sneaky."
"I hope so. He's the only one who can get us out of here."
"There's others you know..."
"But the key can unlock her mind! He would find us and help."
"That...or get captured."
"Don't think like that!"
I sighed once more. Without saying a word I slid away from the group. My steps echoed as I walked through the large room. Her soul room was nothing I have ever experienced before. Aibou's and mine was a hallway that led to two doors, the doors that led to our soul rooms. But here, it was just one big room. Nothing that showed what she or her Yami was like.
"Yami..." Whispered a voice behind me.
I turned around and stared at the young women in front of me. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a red shirt. The gold bracelet glittered on her left arm. Her black hair was loose and was flowing down to her waist like a Black River. Her blue eyes stared into my red. Did I see a tint of fear?
"Rosetta..."
She smiled at me, the gentle smile that I use to know so well.
"Hey" She called to me.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to tell you...everything. Why I doing this..."
She sighed and took a deep breath. Then she began her story.
I leaned against the wall and sighed. I still can't believe that someone we trusted did this to us. Rosetta...why? It's not like you to betray us and turn us over to someone.
