A/N- So sorry for taking so long to update. My brother's birthday was Tue.
9-9 and we had his birthday party on Sat. Then we went out to eat. On
Sunday I was TRYING to catch up on reading and reviewing stories. So now
you have the 4-1-1.
Thank you all my nice, lovely reviewers! You guys are the absolute BEST!
fishkisser: Yeah, that was kind of short. This one should be a bit longer though. I'm glad you liked it! I've always thought Pegasus was so annoying when he did that! Thank you so much for reviewing! ^_^
Bunnychu: Thank you! ^_^ I like suspence! That's why I like to write it! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
hobbitfeet13: That is understandable. I have been very busy lately as well. It's dragon armlet, not amulet. I can't stand when Pegasus does that! Thank you for playing along. I'm not so knowledgeable about such things so...yeah. Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
2lazy2login: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Hazel-Beka: Yay! I'm so happy! You can update now! There is such a thing as an armlet. It's in the dictionary. I can't stand when Pegasus does that! It drives me insane! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Ice-Spirit Phoenix: Hehe. Sorry I had to make you wait so long with the evil cliff hanger! I didn't mean to! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Subieko: Thank you! You'll find out what the Dragon ARMLET does later if I haven't already explained it. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Sorceress Vanessa: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^

Chapter 9
Yugi and Yami were both tossed into two dark, cold cells. Yugi landed on the floor with a thud and grunted.
"Are you alright, Yugi?" Yami asked from beside him.
"Yes, I'm fine. Can you get us out of here?"
"I'm sorry, Hikari, but Pegasus is preventing me from using magic."
"Yugi? Is that you?" Tea's voice sounded from the cell on the opposite wall in front of him.
"Tea?"
"Yugi?"
"Yugi?"
"Joey? Tristan?" They appeared out of the darkness, Tea in the cell in front of him, Tristan in the cell in front of Yami, and Joey on the other side of Tea. Yugi and Yami hadn't been able to see them from their far back positions thanks being to the darkness that shrouded the entire dungeon seemingly, but once they got up to the front of the bars they could be seen.
"Yugi! Oh, I'm so glad you're ok. I was so worried when you fell over the. . ." she gasp audibly, "Yugi were you split in two?" She saw Yami.
"Sort of. You know him."
"We do?"
"Yes, that's Yami, he's the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle. He takes over when I duel or any other time I need him. He is also my sworn protector."
"Yeah, I think I remember you now," said Joey, "you were the one dueling when we fought evil Ryou in the Shadow Realm and all of us were stick in our favorite cards."
"Yes, and that 'evil Ryou' as you put it is better known as Bakura, the spirit of the Millennium Ring."
"Right. So that's the one you've been talking about when ever you talk about Yami or the Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle."
"That's right, Joey."
"Ok, interesting, but why does he look like you?"
"Um...We are not exactly certain, we don't really know all that much about Yami. He doesn't even know all that much about himself if truth be told."
"Freaky."
"What do you think Pegasus wants with you guys?"
"He doesn't want anything really with me, except to get revenge on me as well as with all of you, he wants Yugi."
Everyone stared at Yugi.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Solomon Mutou had been sent on a false trip and he was angry. He had taken the free airline tickets sent to him and gone all the way to South America to find nothing and nobody at the prescribed spot. No tents, no people, no equipment, no archeological discovery. Not even a previous or present excavation area. It had been a complete waste of time.
When he got back he wondered where Yugi was, but then remembered he went on a cruise, but something was bothering him and he couldn't figure out what. Then it hit him. (A/N- Great big pineapples fall from the sky and hit him on the head- Ha ha. ^_^U sorry don't know where that came from.) Someone wanted him out of the way to get to Yugi.
'Speaking of my grandson' he thought to himself, 'that was the strangest thing I've ever seen.'
He was referring to the fact that a boy about Yugi's age that looked similar to his friend Ryou, but not the same. The boy had spikier hair and sharper more angeled eyes and he had just popped up, appeared out of nowhere at the edge of the lake. The boy had glared at him then disappeared again.
He knew it had to be real, but when he asked people if they had seen the boy anywhere around town and told them the circumstances upon which he had met the child, they said he was seeing things and needed to get his old eyes checked. So many people told him that he started to believe it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pegasus's men had found the Dragon Armlet and since they were short on time, Pegasus had sent Bakura to fetch it while he went to get Cecilia's wedding ring. It was very ironic, the place where the Dragon Armlet was located. That was because it was at a temple in South America at Lake Titicaca, the same place Mr. Mutou had been sent on his "major archeological find."
Bakura used some of his dark shadow powers to transport himself there quickly. The only problem was that when he did so, he appeared right in front of none other than Mr. Mutou. 'Great!' he thought to himself as he appeared at the edge of the lake. 'Just great!' He glared at Mr. Mutou for a minute then transported himself closer to the temple.
It materialized in front of him and he walked inside. He took one step forward and saw why the idiotic men working for Pegasus hadn't gotten the bracelet themselves. The place was booby-trapped. (He should know. He found out first-hand) That is why Bakura had been picked for the job.
It took some work, but he made it past all the security (A/N- Or so he believes) and reached a room with no security at all (A/N- That's what he thinks) and saw a platform in the middle of the room with the Dragon Armlet perched on top.
Bakura walked up to it confident, but once he thought about it, nothing made sense. Why would every room, EXCEPT this one have some kind of security in it? Luckily he had come prepared with a bag of marbles. (A/N- Darn that Tomb Robber and his dumb tomb robbing training and skills! *slams the desk*) He placed the marbles on the platform and slid it over while he removed the bracelet.
It didn't work and a large boulder came hurtling after him. (A/N- Haha! Now I got him! Indiana Jones style!) He ran as fast as he could but knew he wouldn't out run it then he was struck by a sudden idea. He could have slapped himself on the forehead for not thinking of it sooner, and he teleported back to the mansion. (A/N- *Slaps forehead* Why didn't I think of that sooner? I could have done something to prevent that!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pegasus was already back by the time Bakura got there. Bakura was panting and sweating as he handed Pegasus the Dragon Armlet.
"Thank you, Bakura. Do you think we should go get Yugi-boy, put it on him, and get everything ready?"
"What...ever."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi and Yami had dropped out of the conversation and were lost in their thoughts. Tea, Joey, and Tristan were all trying to figure out ways of escaping, but Yugi was just wondering what Pegasus wanted with him, and contemplating what was going to happen to him.
That's when Pegasus and Bakura came and unlocked Yugi and Yami's cell doors. Pegasus walked into Yami's cell and a light shot out of his Millennium Eye at Yami and he blacked out. Pegasus picked up the unconscious form and Bakura roughly grabbed the struggling, kicking, and screaming Yugi and followed after Pegasus.
"Yugi!" his friends cried, but no one listened to them. Yami and Hikari were taken to a bland, white-walled room and while Yami was tossed into a big cage. Yugi on the other hand had been pinned to the ground, by Bakura, so tightly that he could not move a single millimeter. Pegasus came forth bearing the Dragon Armlet and walked casually up to the struggling hikari. (A/N- That still could not move I might add) Pegasus slid the Dragon Armlet onto Yugi's hand, pushed it up his small wrist and all the way up so it rested on his bicep. As soon as that was accomplished, Pegasus used his Millennium Eye to put Yugi into an enchanted sleep like he had done to Yami.
"Nighty-night," Pegasus said laughing.
A/N- Ooo! What happens now? How will Yugi ever get out of this mess? Watch for the next installment of The Black Crystal Sacrifice to find out. Don't forget to let me know if you update a story or stories you want me to read. Now that I got caught up I will more than likely just fall behind again, like I always do. Don't forget to leave a review on your way out and I'll see ya all later! Hopefully next weekend!
Oh, and does anybody know how to spell Ishezu? Ishizu? And Kroquet? I have no idea how to spell those two names. I'm probably not even the least bit close either so I need you guys to help me.
