Before I start the story again, I'd like to thank someone out of the bottom of my heart. To James, thank you for all you've done. You may think you haven't done much but it's a lot to me. You've listened to my problems and helped me through them and thank you so much. You will never know how thankful I am. So hope you've read this and hope you feel happy. Thank You. (Don't you feel loved?? Lol) :D
Disclamier: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I only own Sakura and any other OCs that show up but alas, the actual show or card game is not mine.
Chapter 6
"Kaiba, what is that?" Kaiba got up and inspected the window a little more closely. A gooey substance was sliding down the window from the outside. Kaiba opened the door and put a finger to it and rubbed it between his fingers to get a better feel for what it was. Sakura looked over his shoulder to see.
"What is it?" Kaiba stared at the red substance on his fingers.
"It seems like blood." Sakura walked outside and looked up. Right above her sliding glass door, was a dead dove. It was nailed in letting all the blood drip off. She screamed.
"They've came! Seto you must leave! Go to your little brother and get out of here before it's too late!" Screamed Sakura. Kaiba looked at Sakura worriedly and walked outside. He saw the dove and ran out of the apartment. What is happening?
Sakura looked on as Kaiba left the apartment and smiled sadly. I'm sorry I had to get rid of you like that. Good-bye Seto. She went inside to pack up her clothes and called Mokuba.
MokubaM SakuraS
"Hello?"(M)
"Mokuba, it's me Sakura. When Kaiba comes thought that door can you tell him I'm sorry and Good-bye?"(S)
"Sure, but why don't you tell him yourself?"(M)
"I can't right now. I have to go away now."(S) There was a pause on the other line and a door bell ringing could be heard.
"Sorry Sakura I have to go. I'll tell Seto so don't worry. Keep in touch with me at least though. Bye!" He hung up the phone and so did Sakura. She threw all her stuff in a suitcase and ran in the kitchen to grab her folder. She ran out of her apartment complex towards the Kame Game Shop.
"Yugi! Can you give me a hand with the dishes?" Yami was scrubbing a pot while Yugi came in the kitchen.
"Sure Yami. Just let me get a stool from out front of the store." Yami smiled as Yugi left. My aibou is better now but why did Sakura run away like that? A bell chimed from the front door of the store. A customer! Yami set the pot and scrubber down and continued to the front. When he rounded the corner he saw Sakura breathing heavily with a suitcase in her hand.
"Yugi, I came to tell you that I'm leaving. Stay out of sight. People are after me and I don't want them to find you yet. Please stay safe." Yugi placed a hand on her wrist in an attempt to calm her down.
"Have they come finally?"
"Yes, I've received the dove just this morning. I already sent Kaiba home to protect Mokuba and I suggest you, Yami, and Grandpa go now while there's still time." Yugi nodded and ran upstairs for Solomon. Yami looked at Sakura confused.
"The dove?" Sakura nodded and just looked around her nervously. Yugi ran back in with Solomon.
"Sister, Grandpa doesn't understand. We have to tell him. I forgot that only we knew what it meant." Sakura sighed and walked into the living room with Solomon and sat down on the couch. Yugi and Solomon followed suit. When Yami came in, Sakura almost exploded.
"Yami, you cannot hear of this yet. Please, wait for us up front." He nodded reluctantly and went back to the register. What is this all about? He stood there looking outside the store windows. Yugi and Sakura came back out with Solomon behind them. He had a serious look on his face.
"I understand why Yami was excluded. Sakura you must leave now if what you say is true. Do you have a ride?" Sakura moved her head side to side in a gesture to say no. Solomon sighed.
"Then you really got to get going. Walk quickly now before they come. Don't worry about me. Yami and Yugi go with her. You two are needed. I'll watch the shop." They all nodded and ran outside the door. Solomon looked after them solemnly. Good luck my granddaughter. You'll need it.
"Mokuba, come on. We have to leave." Kaiba quickly walked into Mokuba's room.
"Kaiba, I have a message for you. I think you should stop and listen." Kaiba stopped for a second then continued to pack Mokuba's clothes. Mokuba let out a sigh.
"It's from Sakura." Kaiba stopped right away and looked at him shocked.
"She said sorry and Good-bye. She's leaving Kaiba. Sakura gave you the switch." Kaiba almost knocked over Mokuba as he picked him up and ran out the door. They jumped in the limo and drove to the Kame Game shop. When the limo stopped, Kaiba ran in and almost broke the door off the hinges.
"Where's Sakura??" yelled Kaiba. Solomon looked up from the register, surprised from his outburst.
"She just left. You can probably catch her if you run really fast." Kaiba almost yelled again really loud but thought better of it.
"Where is she going?" Solomon sighed.
"To the airport. If you really need to talk to her then wait for her there. Make sure you buy a plane ticket to Cairo, Egypt if you plan on going with her." Kaiba rushed out of the shop. He opened the limo door and got inside.
"Driver, take us to the Airport NOW!" The driver drove as fast as humanly possible, weaving through traffic.
"Big brother, why are we going there?" Kaiba smirked and looked at his brother with a don't-ask-questions look.
"Mokuba, we are going to Egypt."
Yugi, Yami, and Sakura were still running towards the airport. They were almost there.
"Sakura, can we slow down? Yugi is getting tired." Sakura looked behind her to see Yugi straggling behind. She quickly picked him up and carried him up in a piggy back ride before he could protest. Sakura and Yami continued to run side by side for their destination.
"Yami, we are almost there. It's just around the corner here." Yami nodded and followed her. When they rounded the corner, they almost slammed right into Kaiba. Kaiba quickly caught Sakura around her waist and helped balance Yugi so he didn't fall. Yami just glared at Kaiba when he saw his arm around her waist.
"Kaiba? What are you doing here? I thought you went home." Kaiba smirked as he let her go. Yugi jumped off and tugged Yami along with him.
"Come on, Yami. We'll buy the tickets. Sakura so don't take too long." Sakura nodded and looked back up at Kaiba. He looked back and saw they were out of sight and then quickly held her to him firmly.
"Sakura, why are you running away from me?" He looked down to see her upturned face.
"I'm not running away from you. I'm trying to protect you. Please let me go before somebody sees us." Kaiba didn't but just swept her off her feet and carried her inside the airport.
"Who cares now. Let's go, I don't know how you guys even plan on paying the tickets. Mokuba is with us too. He's waiting inside for us. Cairo, Egypt right?" Sakura nodded slowly and stopped struggling to jump out of his arms. He just wasn't going to let go. Just what is he planning?
"Ma'am! We need those plane tickets now! Our lives depend on it!" Yugi was screaming at the flight attendant.
"I don't care. Sir, you have to buy your ticket just like everyone else. Now go back in line!" Yami stepped in front of Yugi.
"Ma'am we need those tickets now. If you don't give it to us then we all die." The attendant gave out a frustrated sigh.
"Sir, I don't care. Now please step aside for other people to buy tickets with money." Kaiba almost laughed out loud at the whole scene. Sakura jumped down and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"BOMB!! THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT HAS A BOMB!!" Sakura tugged Mokuba and Kaiba along towards the planes as everyone screamed. Yami and Yugi followed closely behind. They just made it on board right before they closed the doors to take off.
"Glad that's over with." Sakura smiled and walked over to an empty seat. Everyone just stared on after her. Is she crazy? They took their seats as another flight attendant told them to. Kaiba sat next to Sakura naturally while Yugi and Yami sat directly behind them. Yugi leaned in to whisper in Sakura's ear.
"Sis, I love you and all but did you really have to do that?" Sakura smiled and whispered back.
"Not really. Kaiba could've bought the tickets but at least we all remain anonymous. Well except Kaiba and his brother but no one would say anything." Yugi sweat dropped and sat back in his chair. Yami nodded his head like a parent to a child. This woman is just too much. Mokuba finally took a seat across the aisle from Kaiba. He leaned over to say something.
"Big brother? Just what was that all about?" Kaiba leaned back so Mokuba could see Sakura and pointed over at her.
"Her idea not mine." Sakura looked away from the window and smiled at Mokuba. She made a nervous laugh.
"Peanuts?" She held up a packet of peanuts from the airline food. Mokuba made a sour face and went back to staring at space. Yami looked out the window, Yugi started to read some instruction booklet, and Kaiba started to fall asleep. Sakura was looking out the window too all during the flight. When will this all end?
A woman sat in her corner, crying. Her brown hair fell to her sides, hiding her face. The door to her dark room opened. She held up one of her pale, bloody arms to shield the light from her eyes. The figure quickly ran and hugged her.
"I'm sorry! Please, stop this. It hurts me..." The boy cried into her hair. She lightly touched his brown silky hair.
"Why do you cry?" He looked up when she asked him the question. He looked sadly to his side, away from her face.
"Because my heart hurts when this happens. I... I..." She held his face gently with a frail hand so he could face her. His blue eyes were on the brink of tears.
"Tell me, you what?" A tear slipped and his face went dark.
"I'm afraid you'll die." She shushed him and cradled the boy in her arms.
"No, Seto. Put such thoughts aside. It'll all be over soon. Go to sleep my little blue-eyes. Don't cry..." She wiped his tears aside as he closed his eyes. When he fell asleep, she set him down gingerly.
"It'll all be over soon, my soon." The woman stood up and walked out of the house.
"Seto! Seto! Wake up!" Kaiba opened his eyes. His little brother was shaking him. Kaiba quickly awoke.
"Where's mom?!" Kaiba asked quickly. His brother collapsed into Kaiba's arms in a fit of tears.
"She's dead! She killed dad then herself! What are we going to do, Seto? I want mommy!" Kaiba held him close and cried also.
"Seto, it's all a dream. You can wake up now." Sakura whispered into his ears. His head was on her shoulder asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Sakura. Sakura gasped at the tears that were streaming down. She held him to her as he tried to collect his wits. What is causing him so much pain? Mokuba looked over and thought they were making out.
"Sakura, you know you two could wait till after the flight." Yami and Yugi saw the same thing. This angered Yami. Why does she go to him? Sakura didn't say anything. What am I going to do? I don't want them to know that he's crying. It'll make him mad. She brought him up a bit and wiped the tears from his face. She whispered gently into his ear.
"Seto, please don't cry. I'm covering for you so you owe me at least that much." Sakura smiled and cradled his face. He focused his eyes onto hers and suddenly realized where he was at. He snapped back and almost fell from his seat. Sakura giggled. The flight attendant rushed over.
"Sir, please get back into your seat. You two stop horsing around." Kaiba glared at her and sat back down not saying anything so as not to cause a scene. The attendant went back behind the curtains separating first class from second. Sakura looked up at Kaiba and saw the anger in his eyes. She quickly acted like she was looking at something else so not to anger him further. Was what just happened real? She quickly grabbed her seat's arm rests when the plane hit turbulence, causing the whole plane to shake. After it passed, she still continued to hold on. A warm hand grabbed hold of hers and she squeezed. She wasn't paying attention that it was Kaiba who sought to comfort her. Even after she calmed down, she continued to hold on to his hand for the rest of the flight.
Yugi, Yami, Kaiba, Mokuba, and Sakura stood at the base of the pyramids and let the tour group continue without them.
"Sakura, is this it?" Asked Yami. He hasn't said a word to Sakura since the whole time after they got off the plane. Sakura placed a hand onto the pyramid and almost felt the surge of familiarity hit her hard. What is in here to make me follow it so?
"Sakura, should we go in now or do you want to wait till night?" Kaiba looked down at Sakura questioningly. She looked into his eyes with a blank expression.
"Sakura?" Sakura ran through the wall leaving everyone behind. I'm sorry my friends... Kaiba immediately tried to reach for her but his hand was stopped by the wall.
"Sakura! Don't run away again!" Kaiba pounded on the wall and ran trying to find an entrance. Yugi ran after Kaiba.
"Kaiba! She's gone! You can't follow her so we have to find an alternate way! Please just stop so we can find her!"
