Chapter 2

============

It was ten o'clock at the Kaiba mansion. Seto had a hard day at work and wanted to watch the news to see what happened in the world that day. He didn't know the news that was going to be told.

The weather went past, sports, stocks; after all of that, Seto was about to doze off; the next words on from the news lady made all of the sleepiness disappear.

"Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor were kidnapped today from their apartment in Domino City." The lady said.

"What?!!!" Seto yelled as he shot right up. He grabbed the television remote and put the volume up a few notches.

"Today at approximately a quarter to five, both Joey and Tristan were abducted. Witnesses say that screams from one of them were heard from the twelfth floor." The lady said. "Surveillance footage shows a man who is said to be 'Bandit' Keith Aarons was seen kidnapping an unconscious Tristan Taylor."

"How..." Seto whispered.

"Keith shot and killed landlord, Dill Murk, with a pistol as he was leaving the apartment." The lady said. "The tape doesn't show what happened to Joey Wheeler for there is no sign of him during the gruesome footage."

"This can't be..." Seto whispered.

"If you have any information on the whereabouts of any of these three..." The lady said as pictures of all three boys was shown on the screen. "Please call any of these numbers..." Phone numbers were shown on the screen a moment later. "To get a better look at the photos, visit the news website."

The news cut to commercial; leaving Seto sitting on the couch dumbfounded.

"How can this happen?" He whispered to himself.

Just then the phone rang.

Seto got up and walked into the kitchen to pick up the phone.

"Hello, Kaiba residence..." Seto said; his voice sounding disconnected from his mind.

"Seto?" A weak voice said, sniffling from the other end.

"Yugi?" Seto asked.

"Did you hear?" Yugi asked as he sobbed.

"Yeah, I did." Seto said. "I know what you are going to ask; so yes, I'll help search for the two."

"Oh thank you Seto!!!" Yugi sobbed. "Thank you so very much!!!"

"Don't mention it..." Seto said. "Meet here tomorrow morning at seven, don't worry about breakfast, it'll be ready here. Call the others for help."

"Alright, see you tomorrow..." Yugi said.

"Okay, and Yugi, try to get some sleep tonight, we're all going to need all the energy we can get for tomorrow." Seto said.

"Okay..." Yugi sniffled. "Good night."

"Good night." Seto said.

When he heard a soft click, he hung up his phone too.

"Long day tomorrow..." Seto whispered. "I'll find you two; I promise."

============

Meanwhile across town...

Keith was in a hotel room with two sleeping bodies on his bed. He sat on the other side of the room and looked at the boys as they slept in their deep slumber.

"Soon, I'll take the both of you..." He whispered as he looked at them.

As if on cue, both boys woke up moaning. Joey tried to sit up, but he hissed in pain and let his body fall back onto the bed; his body was in a lot of pain.

Tristan was in a lot of pain too. He couldn't really move.

Keith got up off his chair and walked over to the bed looking over both boys.

"It's so nice to see the both of you awake." Keith said.

Joey's and Tristan's eyes widened as they saw Keith.

"You bastard, you better let us go or...!" Joey tried to sit up again, but let out a yell of pain and quickly laid back down.

"Or what?" Keith asked snickering. "You'll beat me up?"

Joey growled.

"Kaiba was right, you are a mutt." Keith said. "You sound exactly like one."

Tristan was too scared to say anything.

"Oh, and the beautiful Tristan." Keith said. "Do you have anything to say?"

Tears clouded in Tristan's eyes, he just wished that all of this was only a bad dream.

"Don't cry..." Keith said as he reached over and brushed the tears from Tristan's eyes.

"Don't touch him!" Joey growled, he lifted his head and bit Keith.

Keith hissed in pain and yanked his arm back.

"Why you...!" Keith said as he slapped Joey across the face.

Joey cried out in pain.

"Joey!" Tristan cried.

"Just for that, when we leave tomorrow, all the bad things begin." Keith said.

Joey and Tristan's eyes widened, they had no idea what to expect.

============

Next morning at the Kaiba mansion...

Adam, the Kaiba's butler, was making breakfast for the guests that were expected to come that morning.

Seto came down the stairs tiredly. He wasn't able to get much sleep that night; his mind was locked on both Joey and Tristan.

Adam heard footsteps and looked to the stairs.

"Morning Seto..." Adam said. "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Morning Adam..." Seto yawned. "Not a wink..."

"Maybe some coffee will help out." Adam said. "Does little Mokie know?"

"No, when I came home, he was asleep." Seto said.

"Well, he'll start asking when everyone is here, except for Joey and Tristan." Adam said.

"I know; I plan to tell him today." Seto said as he sat down.

"Who is this Keith guy anyway?" Adam asked.

"He was a cheater at Duelist Kingdom and a bad representative of the American spirit." Seto said. "Ever since Joey beat him at D.K. he's been plotting ways to get him back. I guess he decided to wait when a new weakness came around for Joey."

"Well, I pray that you find them soon." Adam said.

"I hope I do." Seto said. "There is no telling what that sicko can do."

Adam walked over to the table and put the food for the guests on it.

"Yugi Moto is coming here, right?" Adam asked.

Seto nodded.

"He's looks so young, and so emotional; I wonder how he took it." Adam said.

"He was sobbing last night when he called." Seto said. "I never heard him like that before."

The doorbell rang and the two looked up at the clock.

"Right on time..." Adam murmured.

Seto got up and walked over to the door. He opened it and saw the people he was expecting to see and some he wasn't.

"Morning Seto..." Yugi yawned.

"Hello, come in everyone." Seto said.

Everyone came in. There was Yugi, Yami, Bakura, Ryou, Mr. Moto, Mai, and Tea; these are the people Seto was expecting to see. The unexpected guests were Isis, Marik, and Malik. Duke was out on a business trip; he couldn't attend.

"Follow me..." Seto said.

Everyone followed Seto to the kitchen and sat down at the table. On the table, there was more than enough food for everyone.

"Morning all..." Adam said.

"Morning..." The guests said.

Just then, Mokuba came bouncing down the stairs.

"Hi guys!" Mokuba said happily.

"Morning." Everyone said. (Dismal ain't it?)

Yami leaned over to Seto to whisper something.

"He doesn't know does he?" Yami asked.

"No, he didn't see the news last night." Seto said.

Mokuba sat down in his seat next to Seto and looked at everyone; seeing that everyone looked sad, and there was no sign of Joey or Tristan; he asked the question that Seto dreaded.

"Where are Joey and Tristan?" Mokuba asked.

Seto sighed.

"Mokuba, yesterday they were kidnapped." Seto said. "By Bandit Keith..."

"Wha...?" Mokuba whispered.

"Don't worry kid, we'll find them." Mai said.

"But how did Keith get a hold of them?" Mokuba asked. "I mean, he's not supposed to be in Japan for a year; the year isn't up yet."

A few months ago; Keith did something illegal, the penalty was being banded from Japan for a year.

"I have a feeling no one knows how he got in, but he did and he has Joey and Tristan." Yami said. "I swear if that-"

Bakura reached over and covered Yami's mouth before he cursed.

Over the months, Yami, Bakura, and Yugi became a couple or a threesome, during that time Bakura changed a bit.

"Everyone lets just eat now." Seto said. "From the things we are going to do today, we're going to need strength."

"What about me?" Mokuba asked.

"You're staying here with Adam." Seto said. "You can invite up to ten friends, but they all have to leave by six."

Mokuba pouted, but nodded.

Everyone ate their food. When they were done; Mokuba went upstairs and Seto and the others were into the living room to plan on what they were going to do.
