Nightlight5: Hey! Thanks to all of you who took the time to read and review, I really appreciate it. Well, it's nice and quiet around here right now, because Yugi and Yami went out for the day. Well, now I can read in peace and my chocolate is safe for the time being. Man, Yami sure can eat some chocolate. **The door swings open and Joey comes walking in**
Joey: Hey Nightlight5 where's Yugi and Yami?
Nightlight5: Doesn't anyone knock anymore?
Joey: huh? Oh…why would you want us to do that?
Nightlight5: **smacks head in hands** I don't know.
Joey: Oh well, I'll just wait here till they get back. **Begins to walk towards the refrigerator**
Nightlight5: But…wait I…Oh never mind. **Just then the door opens again and this time Ryou walks in**
Ryou: Hey Nightlight5 where is Yugi and Yami?
Nightlight5: Doesn't anyone that walks through that door ever come to see me anymore?
Joey: There gone Ryou.
Ryou: Oh…well then I'll just wait for them to get. Hey Joey! Whatever your in there making I want one too.
Nightlight5: **sighs** I guess I could just restock the refrigerator tomorrow, just as long as they don't…**crash**…break anything! Oh man…their going to destroy my house. Yugi, Yami you'd better get back soon!
Joey: It's ok! We're not hurt!
Nightlight5: No! But what about my dish?
Joey: Oh…right…umm….Ryou you grab those 10 pieces over there and I'll get these 20 pieces over here and we'll try and save it.
Nightlight5: Anyways here is the 4th installment or chapter if you will. Enjoy!
Chapter 4: A Friend in need, is a friend Indeed
Joey and the gang were walking slowly back to the game shop not shortly after leaving Yugi there.
"I almost forgot to give this back to Yugi", Joey said as he held out a Duel monsters.
"What are you doing with that, Joey", Tristan asked as he peered over Joey's shoulder to see what it was. It was the Red Eyes Black Dragon card.
"I thought that was your card Joey", Tea said looking puzzled.
"It was, until I gave it to Yugi to beat that creep Marik, Joey said as he balled up his fist, but then I burrow it from Yugi the other day and now I'm going to give it back".
"Well, We're here you guys", Ryou said as he pointed to the game shop.
Joey reached up to knock on the door when he noticed that the door was jarred open. He put his hand on the door and slowly pushed it open making the door creek.
"Umm…Yugi?…Gramps?…you guys here"? Joey asked as everyone piled into the tiny game shop.
"Maybe there back in Solomon's room, Ryou stated, after all Yugi did say that Solomon wasn't feeling well".
"Oh yeah, Joey said rubbing the back of his head, I almost forgot".
They all began to walk towards the living room (To get Solomon's room you had to pass through the living room). Joey was the first one in the living room and also the first to notice Solomon lying on the floor with a metal lamp lying beside him.
"Gramps"! Joey yelled as he jumped over the couch and slid down on the floor beside Solomon.
The others soon saw what Joey had been yelling about and had soon after done the same. After a second they were all gathered around Yugi's grandpa.
"Hey come on Gramps, wake up", Joey said as he tried to get Solomon to respond to him.
After a minute of trying to get him to respond, Solomon finally opened his eyes.
"Thanks goodness", Tea sighed when she saw Yugi's grandpa sit up and rub the back of his head.
"Hey, take it easy their Mr. Motou", Tristan said placing a hand on one of his shoulders.
"What happened"? Ryou asked.
Solomon thought about it for a moment and then widened his eyes and looked around at the kids.
"Where's Yugi"? Solomon asked in an almost panicked way.
"He's not here with you"? Joey asked
Solomon grabbed the side of the couch and tried to pull his self up. "I don't know".
"Hold on there a second Gramps, you can't do that just yet, Joey said pulling Solomon back down, and what do you mean you don't know". We just left him here a few minutes ago".
I'll go check his room", Tristan said as he jolted quickly up the stairs. It didn't take Tristan long to check and then come walking back down the stairs. Everyone was looking at Tristan waiting for his report.
"Well, he's not upstairs". It had been the answer Solomon had feared.
Solomon squeezed his eyes closed and then looked back at Joey and the others who were now worried and looking to him for answers.
"Yugi's father came back today after leaving him eight years ago", Solomon said.
They all let out their own kind of shocked noise when they heard Solomon say that.
"Yugi's dad", Joey interjected.
"Yes, Joey, he and Yugi's mother left Yugi with me eight years ago and told us that they would be back in a few week, but weeks turned into months and months turn into years and we never heard from them, until today.
"Wow, Tristan said, I never really thought about Yugi's father before".
"Maybe it's because he never mentioned him", Tea said still waiting for Solomon to tell them the rest of the story.
"But that still doesn't answer why Yugi isn't here", Joey said a little more worried this time.
"After Yugi's father showed up this afternoon I let Yugi go to the arcade while I spoke to his father alone". "He said he wanted to take Yugi back to Egypt with him when he left.
"What?! Joey said, but he can't do that, this is where Yugi lives".
"That's what I told him, Solomon said, but he said that Yugi would come with he whether he wanted to or not, and that he couldn't have me interfering, and that is when he hit me and that's all I remember.
"So your saying, Joey said in a worried and shocked, that he was still here when Yugi got home".
Solomon closed his eyes as they started to fill with tears. "I'm afraid so".
"Then that would mean… Ryou began to say.
Joey didn't need Ryou to finish his sentence before he know what had must likely happened. He quickly got up and jumped out of the living room and ran outside.
"Yugi!!!" Joey began to yell, "Yugi!!!"
"It's no use Joey, their long gone by now".
Joey turned around to see Tristan standing beside him.
"Come on Joey", Tristan said and put his hand on Joey's shoulder, but Joey jerked his shoulder away.
"I can't leave until I've found Yugi".
"We all want to find him Joey". "But we're not going to find him by just by standing out in the driveway".
Joey hung his head. He knew what Tristan was saying was true, but he didn't want to believe it. He couldn't believe that all of this had happened in a little more then 10 minutes. They had just been with Yugi at the arcade and now he was gone. Joey lifted his head back up and looked at Tristan.
"Let's go Tristan, Joey said as he began to walk back to the game shop with Tristan behind him. He reached up and wiped the tear that had started forming out of his eye. If he expected to save Yugi, he had to be strong. Upon entering the shop, they noticed that Ryou, Tea, and Grandpa were gathered together in a circle.
"Hey, Joey said as he walked toward the group, what's going on"?
"I found this on the floor", Ryou said as he turned to show Joey the crumpled up piece of paper.
"What is it"?
"This is a map of Egypt I gave Yugi when he 7". Grandpa said. "That red dot right there shows where Yugi's mother and father was going to be while they were gone".
Solomon quickly shoved the map into his pocket and began to walk to his room.
"Where are you going Gramps"?
"I'm going to get my grandson back".
"I'm coming with you", Joey said as he took a step forward.
"And me two", Tea said as she stepped up to stand by Joey.
"We're all coming", Tristan said as he and Ryou joined the others.
"I know you do kids, but I can't let you put yourselves in danger because of this".
"I can't stand around here knowing that my best buds out there somewhere, because I know that if it were one of us out there instead of Yugi, he would be doing everything he could to help us". "Yugi has saved my butt several times before…and now it my turn to return the favor".
"In a way, Ryou spoke up, Yugi has saved us all before".
"And we're not going to leave him out there…Tristan started.
…when he has his friends here to help". Tea finished.
Solomon smiled at all the determined faces of Yugi's friend.
"Yugi sure knows how to pick friends", Solomon said as he nodded his head in defeat.
"Go get ready and meet me at the airport in an hour".
Joey smiled at Solomon and ran out the door without saying anything to anyone.
"I'm coming Yugi".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami opened his eyes and began to look around. He noticed that he was inside the Millennium puzzle.
"Err…What happened"?
He leaned up and rubbed his head. "Err…Yugi"?
Yami got up and walked to the door of his soul room and tried to open it, but was surprise to find that it wouldn't come open.
"Why won't this come open"?
That's when he remembered what had happened not to long ago. Or at least he thought it was not to long ago.
"Yugi"!!
Yami began to pull on the door harder, but it still wouldn't open.
"We must be separated".
//Yugi?//
/Err…Yami?/
//Yugi!…where are you? Are you ok?//
/I don't know…it's...dark…where are you?/
//Inside the puzzle, but where is the puzzle?//
/Err…it's not with me. I woke up and it was gone./
//Yugi…are you ok?//
/I'm having a hard time moving or holding my head up for that matter./
//Grrr…Whatever your father used on that clothe must have had some kind of paralyzing drug on it. Who ever did this is going to pay! Don't worry Yugi, I'll find you.//
/….../
//Yugi?…Yugi?!//
**
Yugi stopped the link when he heard someone enter the room. He opened one eye and tried his best to look up. His vision was still a little bit blurry and all he could see was the outline of a heavily muscled man in a suit. The man approached Yugi and leaned in close to him.
"Mr. Toton will now see you", he said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Toton"? Yugi thought.
The men then reached down and pick Yugi up by the waist.
"Err…let me go"! Yugi said as he weakly tried to wiggle away, but it was no use. The drug was still weighting heavily on him and he could barely move.
"Soon enough", the man said causing Yugi to stop.
"I have a feeling this isn't good", Yugi thought.
Nightlight5: Well that's it for now…but I promise that the next chapter will be more exciting.
Yugi: Hey Nightlight5 we're back!
Yami: So what have you been up to all day?
Nightlight5: You don't want to know.
Yugi: Why…what happened?
Nightlight5: Let's just say it got ugly around here. Ummm…Yami? Where are you going?
Yami: To the kitchen. I'm starving!
Nightlight5: I wouldn't go in there then.
Yami: Why?
Nightlight5: Joey and Ryou have been here all day!
Yami: **looks at the refrigerator irritated**
Yugi: Where are you going now?
Yami: Out…I still have to have something to eat. Come on Yugi.
Nightlight5: Wait!…Bring me back something! Err…the things I have to put up with. Anyways…thanks to all that read.
