Chapter 6: Everything Taken
Yugi slowly opened his eyes and slowly got up from the floor. "This must have been another one of Marik's traps." Yugi said as he saw his family and friends on the floor. Soon everyone else started to wake up. "That's the last time I eat before becoming unconscious." Joey complained as he held his stomach. Melissa looked around the room and saw all the other guests leaving the castle. "Where's mommy?" Melissa asked a little worried. Everyone looked around the room, but they didn't see Leona anywhere. "Maybe she's waiting for us outside." Blossom answered. Katrina noticed something sparkling on the floor.
She walked up to the object on the floor and picked it up. "Or maybe Leona's in terrible danger." Katrina told everyone as she held Leona's necklace in her hand. "Seto, isn't that the necklace you gave to Leona a couple of weeks ago?" Mokuba asked his big brother. Kaiba nodded and answered, "Leona would never leave this lying on the floor." Katrina gave Kaiba the necklace and wondered, "You don't think that Marik took Leona, do you?" Kaiba started to get angry because he knew that's exactly what happened to his wife.
Kaiba looked at the necklace in his hand. (I'll find you Leona and make Marik suffer, even if I have to search the entire island!) Kaiba thought. "Even if Marik does have Leona, we don't even know where he's taken her to." Mai said. "That's true, but if Marik gets the millennium bracelet the entire planet will be history." Yugi replied. "So where do you think Marik would take Leona?" Tea asked Yugi. Yugi was about to respond, but was cut off by someone saying, "I can answer that." Said a voice in the shadows.
"Show yourself!" Yugi yelled. The person stepped into the light. "It's the spirit of the millennium ring!" Tea exclaimed. "Where's Leona!?" Kaiba asked angrily. Bakura just laughed and answered, "I will tell you, only if you give me something in return." "And what's that?" Katrina asked. "The two remaining Egyptian God cards and your millennium puzzle, Yugi." Bakura answered evilly. "I'll never hand you my puzzle!" Yugi shouted. "Fine, then I'll just trap all of you in the Shadow Realm." Bakura said as his millennium ring started to glow.
Meanwhile, Leona slowly opened her eyes. (Where am I?) Leona thought. Her vision started to become clearer and she found herself on a large fancy bed. Her hands and legs were chained on the sides of the bed. (Why do I feel so drained?) Leona thought. Then she saw the necklace around her neck that Marik had placed on her earlier. The Winged Dragon of Ra pendant on the necklace was blinking on and off. (That's why I can barely keep my eyes open. I feel so tired.) Leona thought.
Leona looked around and saw that the windows were all covered with bars. The door also had a lock on it. She suddenly felt the bed slowly rocking back and forth as if the bed were inside a ship on the ocean. Leona slowly closed her eyes and the rocking motions of the ship soothe her to sleep. The door suddenly flew open and Leona opened her eyes. She was hoping to see her friends, but instead she saw Marik walking up to her. "I see your awake, my dear." Marik said. "You won't be keeping me here for long! Seto and my friends will find me!" Leona yelled. Marik just laughed. He unlocked Leona's chains and climbed on the bed, towering over Leona.
"Your friends will never find you. Once I'm though with you, I'll take your millennium bracelet and drain the pharaoh's powers. Marik told her. Leona struggled hard trying to stop Marik from hurting her even more, but because most of her energy being drained her efforts were useless. "Ple-please s-st-stop." Leona begged. Marik ignored her plea and continued his assault on her. Leona was hoping that someone would come in the room to stop this, but no one came. Tears came out of her eyes and she stopped struggling. (Seto……why aren't you here?") Leona thought before darkness consumed her.
"Bakura, you won't get me millennium puzzle! I won't let you have it!" Yugi yelled. As dark clouds started to emerge and surround everyone, the millennium puzzle started glowing brightly protecting everyone from the darkness. "What's going on!? I'm losing control!" Bakura yelled. There was a flash of light and everyone covered their eyes. "Yugi open your eyes." Said someone in a calm voice. Yugi opened his eyes and saw Bakura, not the evil spirit of the millennium ring, but his friend. "Bakura, you're ok now." Yugi said. "Yes thanks to you. If there's anything I can do for you, just name it." Bakura told his friend.
Yugi smiled and asked, "Could you help us find Leona?" Bakura just nodded. "No problem, my millennium ring can track down the 8th millennium item." Bakura answered. The millennium ring started to glow, pointing to the direction of the exit. Everyone followed Bakura and the millennium ring out of the castle and into the forest. They arrived at the island docks, where there was ship. "Leona has to be in there." Yugi said. "That's what my millennium ring is indicating." Bakura told him. "Yea, and Marik's also in there." Joey added.
Everyone climbed onto the ship and split up in different directions. Kaiba searched every room that was on the ship. He noticed there was a door slightly open and he also heard crying. He opened the door and saw Leona sitting on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her, crying. "Leona." Kaiba said softly. Leona gasped in shock when she heard Kaiba's voice. Leona turned around and saw Kaiba. She started to cry again. Kaiba walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so upset?" Actions speak louder than words. Leona stood up and removed the blanket that was wrapped around her. Kaiba's eyes widened with shock when he saw the bruises all over Leona's arms and legs and her clothes nearly shredded.
"Did Marik do this to you?" Kaiba asked. Leona just nodded and fell into Kaiba's arms. Kaiba held her close to him as he heard her silently crying. "Seto why weren't you here to stop him?" Leona whispered as she trembled in his arms. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here to protect you, but I'm here now and I'll make Marik regret what he did to you! I promise!" Kaiba told Leona. Leona looked at Kaiba, her face was stained with tears. "I feel like I've betrayed you, Seto." Leona said. "You could never do that to me. Marik forced you to do something you didn't want, so you couldn't have betrayed me. I love you so much and I know you feel the same way about me." Kaiba told her and embraced in Leona in a warm hug.
