Chapter 4: Kidnapped
Author's Note: Now don't be mad at me but Yuugi is going to get hurt badly in this chapter so... aaaahhh!! Flying fruit!!
Mahaad and Amidamaru were sitting on the roof of the inn chatting when they both felt a dark disturbance emanating from Domino City.
"Something evil is about to happen. I can feel it." said Mahaad.
Amidamaru nodded in agreement. Just then, they saw Yuugi emerge from the house. Yuugi looked up, smiling, and waved to the two ghosts.
"Hey, Mahaad! If anyone asks, tell him or her that I'm going to Grandpa's to get something. I won't be long, okay?" said Yuugi.
Although his gut was telling him to go with Yuugi, Mahaad nodded and waved good bye.
Yuugi wasn't even a mile from the inn and already he sensed danger. He tried to concentrate on tonight's dinner, but the ill feeling kept coming back stronger. By the time he had reached Game Shop, he was trembling with exhaustion trying to surppress the evil aura.
Fortunately, the instant he stepped foot inside, the feeling vanished. After being rejuvenated by his grandfather, he got what he had come for and started to head back to Yoh's house. On the way, he stopped by a fruit cart and bought some apples to eat on the way. Then the feeling came back just as strong as before, only this time Yuugi was strong enough to suppress it. Just as he was calming down, someone came up behind him and tackled him to the ground.
"Who are you?!" shouted Yuugi
The man cackled,
"My name is Marik and my employer wishes to see you, but not before I beat some respect into you."
Marik cracked his knuckles and punched Yuugi in the face. Yuugi landed on his back and barely had enough time to open his eyes when Marik grabbed Yuugi by the throat and slugged him in the stomach. Being winded like that, Yuugi coughed out blood and crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Marik grabbed Yuugi by the back of his shirt and disappeared.
Back at the inn, everyone was watching The Young and the Restless when Yami received Yuugi's heart-stopping telepathic message,
YAMI, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
Yami stood up, panic flooding his face; his breaths were rapid and deep. Yami tried to respond, but all he got was silence,
/Aibou...... AIBOU!!!!/
Mahaad appeared next to Yami, kneeling and hanging his head low in guilt.
"Please forgive me, my Pharaoh. I should have accompanied him when he was away from here and no longer under his brothers' watchful eye. I had sensed the danger this morning and I chose not to act. I will understand if you see fit to punish me."
Yami kneeled in front of the mage, looked into those ageless eyes, and said,
"I do not blame you for what happened; I blame myself. I do not spend nearly enough time with him. Whenever he wants or needs me, I am doing other things. I have neglected Yuugi and now he is gone. Well, I am going to see to it that not only Yuugi gets home safely but also I promise to never neglect him again."
Mahaad was relieved that Yami was not angry with him and tried to comfort him.
"I know how you feel right now, but you must not allow your anger and rage to cloud your judgment or you will doom Yuugi for certain."
Yami calmed down and said,
"Thank you. Anyway, I have a feeling to who is responsible and if it is whom I suspect, he will pay dearly. I'll have a little surprise waiting for them."
Sorry, but I wanted to add a little action and suspense to the story. Please R&R ï
AAAHHHH!!! MORE FLYING FRUIT!!!!!
