I'm super, duper, extremely, completely, sincerely; 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times sorry that I didn't get this up when I said I would. A virus or something attacked and it took forever to fix and it still isn't fixed. I also seemed to have done something wrong on this site and they suspended my account.

Now I want to mention something very important. Yuri is not a Mary sue. She was made to look that way at first glance, but if you look close enough you'll see what I mean. Spoiler, No Mary sue would have a rare hunter chasing her, my ending to this chapter happening, a scar on her stomach, and the twists and turns I'm about to pull in the next few chapters happening either. By the end she will be as far from a Mary sue as I can get. Flame me if you want. Yuri is sticking around, because without her there would be no story to write left.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, be happy. Many of you seem to be.

Stairs

Yuri ran though the alley of trash. It trigged memories. The past. Noah, Gozaburo, Seto, Mokuba, the big five, Yugi. Filled with pain and happiness. Her future. These ruins brought those too. She ran faster, desperate to escape from the rare hunter and memories.

Yuri slammed though the front doors of the duel tower. Running across the platinum room she headed for the elevator. Just as she hit the button the rare hunter ran though the doors as well. /No. I can't let him have me. / Yuri's mind raced as she darted away from the elevator and towards the stairs.

Too late. The rare hunter grabbed her arm and laughed. Yuri tried to wiggle free, but failed. The rare hunter had a strong grasp on her. Her mind screamed for help, but her mouth remained silent. The rare hunter began to drag her towards the elevator that was now open.

"How nice of you to open it for me," the rare hunter mocked her. She tried to escape once more as the rare hunter pulled her into the elevator and released her to push the up button.

Success. She ran back to the stairs and then lost hope. Running up stairs was hard enough, but that rare hunter was big enough to skip two steps at a time. But she had no time to think of this. She had to try. She had to get to Seto. He wouldn't let that sicko hurt her. She knew this, as her earrings clinked against her head.

Those earrings were a constant reminder she wasn't alone anymore. He could say he didn't need friends all he wanted. Say he had no friends, but she knew inside he did. He had her. She would be there for him.

She scaled a good half of the stairs thinking this, but the tower was huge and if not for the kendo she wouldn't have made it this far. He rare hunter seemed just as strong, but a bit weaker. Yuri stopped seeing he was outta site and opened a lone, hidden door. It opened to another set of stairs in a black painted room. She smiled as she shut the door. /Seto seems to think of everything. /

Running up the stairs she heard no sign of the rare hunter and thought she must have lost him. She had lost him, but he had continued up the main stairs. Her stairs didn't go all the way to the top. She would have to stop and go back to the main stairs about 100 feet from the top.

The rare hunter had assumed she was still ahead of him, so when a hidden door hit him, it was understandable that he almost tripped. He laughed as he grabbed her, holding her tight as he flung her over his shoulders. Then, he finished up what was left of the stairs till he got to a door.

The rare hunter opened the door to the top of the tower only to find a few more stairs. He cursed that that was when Yuri decided to scream. The rare hunter shoved a piece of his hood into her mouth, being careful that the hood remained on his head.

Yuri gagged. But, this baka rare hunter was taking her where she wanted to go, so she gave up fighting. That was until the rare hunter stepped off the top step. Then she kicked him in a not so nice place. The rare hunter had to be a girl or super tough, because this didn't seem to hurt him. But, the rare hunter did let her go for a second.

"Get away from me!" Yuri screamed as she ran towards where Seto and the gang stood. Everyone, even the duelists turned to see what the screaming was about.

The rare hunter took this chance to grab Yuri one last time. But, Yuri was quick and remembered the rare hunter not wanting their face seen. She pulled the hood off, but not before the rare hunter tossed her to Marik.

What happened next was too much for everyone. Marik pulled Yuri into a deep kiss and you could see that the rare hunter was....

Side notes

Sorry if the ending sucks. I just couldn't find any other way to do it.

Baka means idiot in Japanese.
