Superhero Shadow
Hello again! Just answering a question for BrizyBDarling! The difference between name suffixes: -chan: Usually used for girls, on friendly terms -kun: Same as above, but for boys -san: It's a bit like using 'Miss', 'Mr' or 'Mrs'. Usually used with the surname, if it's known. Of course, Yugi and Jonouchi don't know Shadow's last name, so they call him 'Shadow-san' -sama: Used for royalty, idols, people highly respected, etc. -baka: Well, baka alone means stupid. So Jonouchi-baka would mean 'stupid Jonouchi' (Jonouchi: Hey! Yami Moto: Just demonstration!) Um... -koi: I think this is one. Koi means lover. Um, now I think I'm done. Yeah. Well, on with the story!
~.oOOo.~
"Your name is Yami?" Yugi repeated, still gawping in disbelief. The 'mystery boy' of Domino City had just been revealed to him. He and Jonouchi were probably the only one who knew.
"Yes, that's what I said. Now, how about your names?" Yami said, smiling at his new friends. "Well, I'm Yugi." Yugi said, smiling back, and finding his tongue. "I'm Jonouchi Katsuya." Jonouchi said. "Good. Now we know each other. Say, Yugi, you don't mind if I stay here, do you?" Yami asked. "Of course I don't mind. Just... why?" Yugi looked at him, puzzled. "Well, my mother died when I was seven, and my father's a drunken asshole..." Yami growled, showing his dislike. "So I left. Since then... well I haven't lived anywhere."
Jonouchi came up with a question. "Yami, how did you end up becoming Shadow?" Yami blinked, then thought for a moment. "Well, I was in school, when I was younger, and getting beaten up. I got really scared, and suddenly, all the boys beating me up disappeared, into thin air. Nobody could find them. They turned up, eventually, but that was when I found out I could use an ancient form of magic, called Heka. I traced back all references to Heka, and it ended up with a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt, whose name was Shadow." Jonouchi looked satisfied, but Yugi looked intrigued. "What does Heka do then?" he asked. "It allows me to fly, pass through walls, and lots of other stuff. But it's a rare gift, and I've been looking for someone else who possesses the power. I get awfully lonely. I also use little bits of technology too; trackers, watch-gadgets, stuff like that."
~oOOo~
The next day, Jonouchi came sprinting to Yugi's house. "Those two, The_Ring and TombRaider? They're arriving this afternoon! I got an email from them!" he said joyfully. Yami looked interested. "Who?" he asked. "Oh, these two guys from England we met in a chatroom. They're coming to Japan!" Yugi answered. "They want us to meet them at Domino Airport. They said, if we hold a card saying 'TombRaider' and 'The_Ring', they'll know who we are." Jonouchi added.
"That's great; but how are we supposed to get to Domino Airport?" Yugi asked. "I'll take you." Yami said. The two boys looked at him, surprised. "My car's not badly damaged. Just a few scratches. I checked it when I went to park it properly, so it wouldn't attract much attention." Yugi looked out the window. Sure enough, Yami's car was parked parallel to the kerb. "Let's go then!" Yugi bounced out the door, grabbing a royal blue jacket as he did. Yami put his 'Shadow' clothes, including the mask, into a bag, and put it on the back seat. Jonouchi looked at him questioningly. "You never know when. Why do you think this car has tinted windows?" Yami stated. "Hang on, Yami, if you don't have a home, how come you've got a car?" Yugi asked, climbing into the front passenger seat. "Gift from the city. After my first appearance, I don't know how they did it. Just left near where I'd been sighted, for me to pick up." Yami shrugged the comment off. Jonouchi climbed in the back."Ready? Let's go!" Yami said. He pushed down on the accelerator, and they sped off through the city.
They were nearing the airport, when they heard sirens behind them. "Nani?" exclaimed Yami, checking the rear view mirror. "Keep going, or they'll catch us!" Jonouchi urged. "No, that would look too suspicious." Yami pulled over to the side of the road. Very quickly, a police officer was tapping on the window. Hesitantly, Yami wound it down.
"Yes, officer?" he asked in his best innocent voice. (AN: Yami being innocent?) "We're looking for a car like this, belonging to Shadow," the officer began. "Let's see some ID." Yami froze. "What is it, Yami?" Yugi asked. "I don't carry any ID!" Yami whispered. "Why not?" Yugi whispered urgently back. Yami shrugged. "Never needed it before."
"Come on, hurry up!" the officer said, getting annoyed. "Here you go." said Jonouchi. Yami and Yugi spun around to look at him. He was showing the officer his own ID. "This is my car. My friend's just driving today." Jonouchi said, hoping his story would pass. "Okay..." the officer turned away, still looking suspiciously at Yami. Yami wound the tinted window back into place, and pulled off as fast as he could.
"Come on, we're late!" Yugi said. "Look, I don't want to get into trouble for breaking the speed limit!" Yami protested, swinging the car into the parking lot. Jonouchi hastily scribbled 'The_Ring' and 'TombRaider' on a card with a marker, as they ran into the airport terminal.
"Flight 236 from England, now disembarking" said the voice over the loudspeaker. "That'll be their flight. Must have been late in." said Jonouchi. He held the card up as English passengers began to flock through the arrivals gate. Most people walked by them, some glancing at the card, then at Jonouchi as if he was mad. A pair of boys, each looking remarkably like the other, walked up to them. "Konnichi wa." one boy said, not quite pronouncing the syllables right, but it was close enough. "Konnichwa. Anata- tachi wa TombRaider to The_Ring desu ka?" Jonouchi said to them. (Hello. Are you TombRaider and The_Ring?) "Hai." the taller one answered, pausing for a moment, figuring out what had been said to him.
(AN: The bit in Japanese was just to show that they're English, coming into Japan, etc. I won't write it in Japanese after this; all English)
"Well, I'm Yugi, this is Jonouchi and..." Yugi began. "Yami." said Yami, finishing off the sentence. The taller boy blinked, looking at Yami. 'Heka?' he thought. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ryou, and he's Bakura. Bakura, stop staring!" the shorter boy said, introducing themselves, and hitting Bakura to make him stop staring.
"Come on. Got anywhere to stay?" Jonouchi asked. "Not really. Well, we were supposed to be at a hotel, but when they found out how old we were, they cancelled our rooms! Tickets were non-refundable, so when we met you in the chat room, then emailed you, we were hoping to stay with you..." Bakura said. "My house is fast becoming a B&B. But you can stay with me." Yugi said. Yami looked at him. "I have a damn lot of spare rooms." Yugi smiled.
The group of now five boys walked out to Yami's car. "Hey, nice car." said Bakura. Yami just smiled. "Jonouchi, move that bag of mine, would you?" Yami asked, as Yugi jumped into the front seat, and Jonouchi into the back, with Ryou and Bakura. "Sure thing." Jonouchi took the bag off the back seat, and passed it over to Yugi, who put it on the floor by his feet. Yami turned the key, and took the car out of the parking lot, and back onto the main road.
'I sense that Bakura guy has Heka powers.' Yami thought. 'Is it someone like him I've been looking for? But somewhere around here, near me, there is a different type of Heka...'
"Yami, look out!" yelled Yugi. Yami almost ran into the back of the car in front of him, but he jammed his foot on the brake just in time. Everyone sighed in relief.
Suddenly, all the cars around them pulled off, and Yami's car was surrounded by sirens and flashing blue lights. "Shit." muttered Yami. "Hold on guys! This is going to get weird." Yami closed his eyes, and his body began to glow a dark blue colour.
'Now I know it! This boy really does have Heka!' thought Bakura. Without warning, Yami pressed down on the accelerator and headed straight towards the car in front of them. Jonouchi, Yugi and Ryou shut their eyes, waiting for the impact, but it never came. All they felt was a slight tingly sensation, and they opened their eyes. They were the other side of the police cars! Yami had driven right through them, and was now speeding off as fast as he could towards Yugi's house.
