Hey people! Welcome back, and thanks for the reviews! Um, small note
before the next chapter I just wanna tell the readers something: Even
though I base all my stories on English version Yugioh, I do NOT pretend
that the Yugioh characters all live in America. The characters that come
from Japan still come from Japan in my stories, and characters from America
are still from America. Also, I, like almost everyone else, call Bakura's
character Ryou and Yami Bakura gets called Bakura. Okay, now let's get
this story rolling!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, but Bakura and I have a plan to steal the papers! Wish us luck!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 2: The Stone Begins To Roll
Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler both stood outside the entrance to Domino High School, comparing Duel Monster strategies and tips while waiting for the rest of their friends. "Joey, I don't think it's gonna be easy to get all those Equip Magic Cards onto your Flame Swordsman. Besides, Raigeki isn't even an Equip card in the first place...." "Whateva.........Hey Yugi, swap ya my Magical Scapegoats fa ya Dahk Magician." "No Joey." "Please????????????"
"NO." Their conversation halted to an abrupt start when a loud screeching sound was heard. "HEY KID!!!!!! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!!!!!!!" "Sorry, sir...." A small kid crossed the street, and hopped up to the sidewalk, walking slowly. Joey stared after the kid for a moment. "'Ey....isn't dat Mokuba?"
Yugi squinted for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I think so. Why?" "Dat's weihd, cuz doesn't Kaiba usually pick 'is brotha up from school? Why's Mokuba wahkin' all by 'imself?"
Yugi shrugged. "Well, Kaiba's been absent for the past two days. He's probably just sick and couldn't give Mokuba a ride." "Yeah, but.....Kaiba's got all these limos and stuff. Couldn't he just get one of his chauffeurs to drive Mokuba home?" "Yeah I guess so....well, Kaiba probably needs to get his homework by now, so maybe we should go pay him a visit." Joey groaned. "Like flies to a spida-web....." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fifteen minutes later, Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Ryou all stood outside of the Kaiba mansion. Yugi rang the doorbell. Five seconds later, Mokuba opened the door, a look of hopeful expectation on his face. As soon as he saw who was at the door, however, his face fell. "Oh...hey Yugi. What's up?" "Hey Mokuba. We just came over to give Kaiba his homework, since he's been out since Monday." Mokuba nodded glumly. "Okay....come in, let me just get a pen and some paper so I can write it down..."
Everyone else stepped inside as Mokuba ran into the kitchen. When he came back, he copied everything off of Yugi's assignment pad, while Yugi started to ask him some friendly questions. "So what's wrong with your brother?" "Oh, he's really sick and he's not going to be in school for awhile." "Ouch. How bad is it?"
"Pretty bad. He's been sleeping all day. But he'll be fine........"
"Oh okay........" Yugi looked concerned. Mokuba seemed to be really worried..........his eyes were red, like he'd been crying lately.... "Mokuba, are you alright?"
"Huh?...Oh, I'm fine, I..." The phone rang. "Hang on one second......."
Mokuba went to get the cordless phone on the table next to him. "Hello?.....Oh, hi.......Yeah, I know Mai, but..........well what do you expect me to do?........WHO???......well, I don't know, either, Mai........look, Mai there's nothing much I can do.........Yes, I know your cell phone number....Yes, I'll call you if anything happens........Okay....Bye..." Mokuba hung up the phone and turned to Yugi and company. "That was just Mai.....she needed...to call....something about my Seto, she's getting another job here or something........" By this point tears were flowing freely down Mokuba's cheeks. He tried to wipe them away, but everyone could easily see just how upset he was. Tea put her arm around Mokuba's shoulders, and tried to comfort him. "Ssh, Mokuba, it's okay. What's wrong? Is it your brother?" Mokuba nodded. "Alright...is he really sick? Is it something serious?...." Mokuba shook his head. "No...he's not sick...."
"Well, then where is he? What's wrong?"
Mokuba started to sob. "I DON'T KNOW!! I don't know where he is, he's been gone for the past three days.......he left Saturday afternoon with Mai....and now no-one knows where he is....." Tea pulled Mokuba in for a hug. Mokuba continued "He...he just disappeared.....Mai's been looking for him all this time, but he's not anywhere............." "He's just lost, probably, Mokuba, or something like that......."
"NO!! He's not lost!!!!!!!"
Tea looked a little startled. "What do you mean, Mokuba?......" Mokuba tried desperately to hold back the tears that were beginning to replace the ones already flowing down his cheeks. "He....he had to go to Pegasus's......that's were he was, Pegasus's island......" Everyone's eyes widened. Joey even muttered a few curses. Yugi tried to calm Mokuba down. "Mokuba, then we should do something....call the police or something so someone can...."
"No...we can't......" "What?" "Yugi........Seto's been worried....ever since Pegasus got me after he left, he doesn't want me to be alone, ever......especially since he fired all of those board members last week when we all got out of that game.......and whenever he does leave me alone, he tells me that I should always make it seem like there's someone else at home, like a baby- sitter...but he never does, because he won't trust anybody but me anymore...." Mokuba's eyes pleaded with Yugi's. "...so if we told anybody......it might slip out, and then everyone would know. And I just don't want Seto to have to keep worrying over me.......he almost got lost in the Shadow Realm once...I can't let anything like that happen to him again!!!! I can't!!!!!............Yugi, I'm only doing what Seto would want me to do......"
Yugi nodded. "That's why you didn't come get us in the first place, right? Because he wouldn't want you to?"
Mokuba nodded glumly. "Yeah.......he hasn't gotten over me asking you guys for help........I don't really know why, but he just doesn't trust any of you, either......" Yugi nodded. The fact that Kaiba didn't like him wasn't exactly news. Tristan butted in "So what're we gonna do? Did Mai ask Pegasus about Kaiba at all?"
Mokuba shook his head. "That's the really weird thing. Mai says that when they got there, there was no one on the island. They were looking for Pegasus when Seto heard something and went off by himself for a minute.......and he never came back." "Weird......"
Ryou thought this over in his head for a little while. "Well, the ideal thing to do would be to go to Pegasus's island ourselves, but I don't think that's possible. There's an entire ocean separating us all. So we're going to have to think of something else......." Yugi murmured slowly: "Not necessarily......."
Ryou cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean, Yugi?" "Ryou, your dad's a pilot, right?"
"Yes, that's how come he's always going to foreign countries. Why do you ask, Yugi?"
"He keeps a helicopter right?"
"Yes......."
Ryou thought he understood where Yugi is going with this. "Yugi, there is no way on earth that my dad would ever take us that far, especially under these circumstances. Besides, he and my mom are staying in Verona for the next week." "Actually, that makes this even easier......Ryou, do you think that you know enough about flying to, maybe, fly that helicopter?"
"Well, I suppose I c-....Wait just ONE MINUTE!!!!!! You can't honestly expect me to...you can't just...NO!"
Everyone else began to exchange glances with each other. "NO!!!! I am NOT flying you there!!!!! Do you realize how dangerous that is?????? Do you know how much trouble we'd get in?????? Do you know how hard it is to fly one of those things????????"
Mokuba looked up at Ryou. "Please, Ryou.......could you just do it for my brother? Please, he's my best friend in the whole world........"
Ryou cursed himself for being a sucker for crying kids. "Oh, fine, I'll do it.....But we'd better make sure we don't get into trouble....." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seto Kaiba groggily opened one eye and peered around him. Darkness. Nothing but darkness enveloped him...... Where am I?........ He tried to move, to get up so that he could get a good look at where he was..... And realized that he was covered from head to toe with stuff. He tried to move some of it when pain shot down his arm. Just what I need now....a broken arm....... He finally succeeded in pulling himself free. He looked up, and could see nothing in the darkness......When his eyes adjusted he saw that the ceiling was at least 20 feet above his head. He looked around. Where was Pegasus? When he finally unearthed him, he saw blood trickling from his head. HE immediately checked for a pulse..... He's alive.....but he's definitely knocked out pretty badly. Kaiba looked around, bewildered. So now what do I do?
