Ch.21
"Noah did this." Isis said calmly.
Kaiba looked at Isis in a confused way. "Noah? Who's Noah and why would he do this?" There was a paper on the floor. Kaiba stooped down and picked it up and stuffed it in his pocket.
"I'll go and figure out some of this chaos. You guys stay here and I'll come back as soon as I find out anything." Isis was looking at Kaiba in particular. He nodded satisfying Isis and watched as she left the scene the teens stood at.
"I'll be down in a minute I need to do something." Kaiba muttered and he dashed up the stairs to his room. There he unfolded the paper. It read:
Dear Seto:
Collect these notes one by one and not knowing what they mean before the end could cost you your life as well as the life of others. One of your friends are gone and another soon after.
Kaiba read and re-read the paper. He shook his head and said to no one in particular " One of my friends are gone? What the hell do they mean by that?" He studied the paper before a knock on his door interrupted his cluttered thoughts.
The door creaked open letting a cold breeze flow through the room. Kaiba's eyes darted to the doorway left wide open but no one was there. "...J-Joey?" he managed quietly. "Are you there?" ... ... ... Silence. A ruffle of cloth from his left he pivoted on his right foot quickly. "This is not funny guys."
"Who said it was?" asked a voice.
Kaiba twirled "Where are you?" he demanded. "Show yourself at once."
"Kaiba boy, "The voice sneered. It sounded as if it was in his mind. "Do you know nothing?"
Kaiba grimaced at the thought of it being Maximilian Pegasus. "Who are you!? What do you want with me?"
The voice laughed softly "You know me very well Seto. "
Kaiba froze. 'It is him.' he thought. The voice laughed again. "Trying to keep me out of your thoughts are you? Think again."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Let me out boy before I rip you apart limb-by-limb." Bakura snarled angrily. "What the hell do you want with me?"
Noah, being quite amused by Bakura's short-temper, went to Bakura, who was hanging from the wall arms, legs and neck attached to chains which were attached to the wall, "What I want from you is none of your concern at the moment. Now all you need to worry about are your other friends." Noah stopped, a grin slowly spread on his face. He turned to face Bakura, "Who shall I take next? Yami? Or perhaps weak Ryou?" with the last word Bakura's face changed to fear mixed with more anger. A smirk tugged Noah's lips. "Oh, hit a weak spot have I?"
Bakura growled "Stay away from him Noah. Or I swear by Ra I'll..." He stopped. Noah looked at him as if daring Bakura to say something else. Bakura hung his head still growling.
Noah laughed "How pathetic. Try as you may to think you're tough." Noah went up to Bakura and said quietly "But you're just a weakling." and with that Noah left the room.
Ryou! RYOU! Bakura thought frantically using his mind-link. He waited ... no answer. RYOU! Please answer me!
Back at Kaiba's mansion Ryou felt a tug at his mind and he heard Bakura's voice RYOU! Please answer me! Ryou noted there was fear in his voice Bakura! What's wrong? Where are you?
Bakura tried to respond but felt very weak and tired all of a sudden and thought to himself 'what the hells wrong with me!?' Still trying to respond to Ryou he finally was able to send his light mental images of where he was.
Ryou gasped aloud causing Yami, Yugi, Malik, Marik and Joey to look at Ryou quickly. Ryou managed a small 'sorry' and sat off alone again. Bakura! Please. Talk to me...Where exactly are you? Then he heard it.
Malik's face had gone blank his eyes showing no emotions or life. His head tilted towards Ryou as he walked slowly towards him. The world around Ryou stopped. Frantically he scrambled up to his feet trying to get away from Malik...no use. Malik had him pinned to a wall. 'Not a good place to be Ryou' Ryou thought to himself frantically.
Malik's hand drew up to Ryou's face holding his chin upwards so he was eye to eye with Malik. Malik smirked an emotionless smirk and tossed him across the room. Ryou screamed in agony as his body was flung to the opposite side of the room. His face hit the radiator causing his cheek to sink in the sharp edge drawing blood. Malik walked towards him again. Ryou yelled out to Yami or Yugi anyone he couldn't care less if it was an alien he just wanted out of Maliks reach. "M-m-m-Malik... What are you doing?" he whimpered softly and quietly.
Malik's voice sounded doubled as he stepped towards Ryou pressing his foot on Ryou's chest harshly. " I'm just being a good friend Ryou." He smirked, more emotion this time flooding through Ryou's veins sending a chill up his spine. Maliks voice low and gravelly "Now that Bakura's not here to protect you." He whispered in Ryou's ear "Do you care to join him?" Fear and pain spread across Ryou's face. Malik chuckled quietly and started to walk away. "You're next Ryou." and with that Malik fell to the ground harshly.
Ryou's world suddenly lurched as he toppled over. He felt moisture on his lips. He licked them feebly and tasted blood his hands darted to his mouth and then to his cheek a deep cut from the radiator. He started to remember what had happened. He looked over to Malik who was lying on the floor about 10 feet away from him unconscious. Yami turned and saw the mess Ryou was in and quickly went over to him and sat him upright.
"Ryou what happened?" concerned crimson eyes started to blur in Ryou's vision.
"M...m...mal-ik" he couldn't speak another sound his head spun wildly everything blurred and he fell into Yami's arms. Yami picked up Ryou's limp figure and set him down on the couch and pulled out a small first aid kit he found in a cupboard. Yugi helped while Joey and Marik got Malik on the other couch and layed him down gently.
"What coulda caused this?" Joey asked in a quiet voice.
"I think...I think I might know what happened." Marik's voice a little upset. The others looked at him as he sighed and started to tell them what he thinks went on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"No! NO! Get out! Leave me alone." Seto yelled.
A deep a cruel laughter erupted from his mind. "Dear boy." the voice sneered, "DO you not remember me? Your Step-father?"
Kaiba froze again suddenly "Go—Gozaburo?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura thrashed against his bindings after his neck binding snapped he thought he had a hope to get out. Swiftly the door flung back causing a deafening clack on the stone wall.
"Trying to escape are we?" Noah stepped in the room and looked around thoughtfully, "Are the room accommodations not good enough for your taste?"
"Brat! Come say that up close without these damn bindings on me" Bakura snarled.
"Tsk tsk. No need for that kind of talk Bakura."
"Like hell!" bakura spat.
Noah's eyes showed amusement "Have it your way. I was going to let you out of this room but now that you talk to me this way..." He turned to face Bakura "There is however a way to get out." his eyes glimmered as he told Bakura to say something.
Bakura's mouth gapped and then he regained his control "Over my dead body would I say that! But I will say this: If you dare lay a finger on Ryou, you are giving yourself a personal invite. For my to kick your bloody ass."
Noah stared at Bakura and grinned evilly "Too late now I'm afraid. Ryou's already dead."
Bakura couldn't believe what he had just heard. "NO! I won't listen to you." Noah shrugged, "Have it your way now if you don't mind. I must go and finish something I had started." And he left laughing.
"Ryou..." bakura's head hung low "I'm so sorry...I couldn't protect you." and a single hot tear fell down Bakura's face.
