Joy: Here comes Chapter 2. When I last left ya hanging around, Seto and Joy had set out to rescue poor Yugi. Can they save him? And who kidnapped him to begin with? I got a review!
kuram'sdarkangel1: ^__^ I read your story! It was great! Ya gotta update soon. When I wrote my stories, I got discouraged by the lack of reviews, too. Like my others stories with only ONE review. -__- But I am so glad you review! ^__^ You are one of my loyal reviewers!
Now, on to the chapter! Ready, set, go!
~*~*~*~*~
The Island
Yami was quiet for the rest of the trip. He was overrun with concern for his light. That much Joy could tell by the now open link between them. It's kind of weird to have two spirits inside your head.
Seto tracked Yugi to a small deserted island about an hour from the coast of Japan. As they landed, Yami finally spoke to her again.
Joy, do you think Yugi is really on this island? Do you think he is okay?
We tracked him here, so it's a strong possibility, Yami. And I'm sure he's okay. Yugi is stronger than most people think. Joy assured him. To herself she thinks, Yugi does have a will power that most people only dream about. And most villains cringe at.
Yes, of that I know. Yami tells me. His spirit is the strongest I have ever seen. But I am still worried. I sense a strong evil magical force here.
I sense it, too, Joy. Katilli added.
Don't worry. All we have to do here is grab Yugi and take off. I don't want to stay here any longer than necessary.
This whole time, Joy has been following Seto through a wooded area of the island. Suddenly they spot a man standing in front of them. He is wearing jeans, a flannel shirt, and boots. His short bushy hair was black and he had his hands in his pockets.
"Who are you?" Joy asked with a frown.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" the man answered sarcastically. Joy rolled her eyes, quickly annoyed. "If you come over here and give me a kiss sweetheart, maybe I'll tell you my name."
Joy saw Seto's eyes narrow considerably. He took a step forward, aiming to take the guy down, but she stops him. Without a word of explanation, she smiles slowly at the man. "All right."
"WHAT!?" Seto cried in utter surprise.
Joy, what in the world did you just say?! Katilli and Yami both yelled out in Joy's head.
Joy held her hand up, silencing everyone.
I know what I'm doing.
"Its okay, Kaiba. I'll be right back." She left him gaping at her back as she walked over to the guy. When she reached the man she smiled seductively – or what she thought was seductively. She had never done this before. The man looked at her with lust in his eyes. This guy is such a baka.
Seto meanwhile, couldn't believe this was happening. I can't believe she's going to kiss that baka just to get his name. Should I stop her? Could she get hurt by this guy? I don't want her to kiss him, damn it! He knew, however, he was too far away to stop it from happening.
She took him by the shoulder and leaned forward to kiss him. Just before the kiss though, she brought up her right knee and it connected right…right…well, he's a guy, use your imagination. It's a place the sun don't shine, guys.
The man grunted in pain and fell to his knees before her. "Well, now," she said. "I thought you wanted to kiss me. Have you changed your mind?" Joy looked down at the man in disgust. "Perhaps you'd like to tell us your name now, and what you've done with Yugi Moto. Cuz if you don't, the next time my knee goes right into your stomach, asshole."
Seto stood there, absolutely speechless. Cool…remind me never to piss her off…
Katilli and Yami found they couldn't say anything either because they were so amazed.
"Smith…" the man managed to whisper out. "James Smith."
"Nice. Now, where is Yugi Moto?"
"I'll never tell," Smith growled, looking up at her.
"Pity. Well, I guess you've out-lived your usefulness." She turned to Seto. "I guess we'll have to find Yugi all on our own, Kaiba. Oh, do you have a knife?"
"No, why?"
"Drat…I need to find a sharp object so we can get rid of this guy." She looked around, searching for a sharp rock or something. The man's eyes grew twice their size, as did Seto's, especially when Joy picked up a nearby rock.
"You want to k-kill me?" The guy stammered.
"Of course not. I don't want to dirty my hands," Joy commented harshly. "But I don't have a choice unless you tell us where Yugi Moto is."
"All right, all right! I'll tell! I'll tell! Yugi Moto is in the house at the center of the island. It's only a few hours' walk from here. Just follow the path."
"Thank you. You've been so helpful. Now, we're going to save our friend, and you're going to take a nap." She hit the guy with a rock and he fell to the ground, unconscious. She turned to the still wide-eyed Seto. "Relax, Kaiba. He's still alive. I wasn't really going to kill him. I just needed to scare him into giving us some information." Seto blink and walked over to her.
"Right," he said, gaining back some of his composure. "Let's get to that house and get Yugi." They started to walk off, but suddenly Joy cried out in pain. Seto turned. "What's wrong?" he asked, a bit concerned.
"I think I kneed that guy a bit too hard. My knee hurts." Seto tried not to laugh, but failed miserably. "Very funny, Kaiba." She took a step, but swayed. Seto grabbed one of her arms to steady her. "Thanks."
"You should stay off that knee for awhile," he advised. Joy raised an eyebrow.
"How am I gonna do that, Kaiba? Are you gonna carry me to the house?" she asked sarcastically. Seto blushed.
"If that's the only way to get to Yugi quickly, then yes." Joy gave him a shocked look. "So, can I?"
"What?" she asked curiously.
"Can I carry you? We need to move quickly."
Joy blinked. Then she blushed a deep shade of red. She managed to nod, and let out a gasp as Seto put one arm under her knees and the other around her back and lifted her up. "You okay?" he asked quietly. She nodded. He started towards the center of the island.
Are you okay, aibou?
Yeah. My knee hurts a bit, that's all.
If you say so.
Seto meanwhile was silently wondering what was going on in his head. I can't believe I'm doing this…

Joy: Mmm…nice, eh? Well, while Seto carries Joy around for a bit, Yugi is still being held captive! Can they find him? You have to wait till the next chapter to find out! Till then, review! ^__^
