A Walk in your Shoes
Chap 9 Richter
Yugi, Yami and Joey tried to keep up with Duke as they ran down Domino's crowed sidewalks. Duke turned the corner entering an alleyway where they found Malik and Ryou cowering in fear on the ground. There in front of them was a tall slender teenager with black shoulder length hair. He wore a biker jacket and some black leather pants.
"Yugi, Yami, Joey," Malik yelled, "you've made it."
"Silence!" the teen shouted.
"Who are you?!" Yugi demanded.
"The name is Richter," he grinned.
"Why are you messing with our friends?" Joey yelled.
"If it isn't Kaiba," the boy smirked.
"Yes so you better be leaving those two boys alone," Joey said.
"I've got a score to settle with them first," he answered.
"What do you got against Malik and Ryou?" Yugi questioned.
"Well about a month ago my friend and I were hangin in the park, and these two walk up," he began, "they asked us if we wanted to duel. Of course we wanted to because Frank and I were fans of duel monsters. So we accepted the duel. It went all dark around us as the battle started. I ignored it not expecting a thing. Then they told us if one of our members of our team lost they would get sent to the shadow realm. Frank and I thought the guys were crazy. Well we were doing fine up until Frank lost his life points then he completely fainted. I forfeited the duel and drove Frank to the hospital. The docs said Frank was in a coma. So I knew it had something to do with those two boys, so I dedicated my time to finding them and getting revenge."
"You poor man," Yami sighed.
"I demand a reduel!" he shouted.
"You have the wrong guys," Ryou whimpered, "Our Yami's did that not us."
"I'm tired of the Yami crap you have been telling me," he warned, "I am going to stop those lies once and for all."
"We aren't lying it is true," Malik nodded.
"You two are going to duel me like you did a month ago," Richter commanded.
"We didn't do anything wrong it was our Yami's," Malik said, " and we're not dueling for something we didn't do."
Richter pulled out a silver gun and pointed it at Malik. Getting the idea Malik and Ryou decided to duel.
" They don't have to duel if they don't want to," Joey shouted.
" Kaiba you better just stay out of this," Richter sneered.
"Yugi what should we do?" Joey asked.
" Well, it doesn't seem to dangerous the man just wants a rematch," Yugi said, "So we should leave them to duel."
" Let's make this interesting," he grinned evilly, " if one of you loses your life points I'll shoot you."
" That isn't right," Joey shouted.
" I don't care!" Richter screamed.
" We need help," Duke said, "This guy is a maniac."
"I'll go call the police," Joey shouted.
Kaiba sat in his room staring at his computer screen. Mokuba opened the door and Kaiba turned his head to see who entered.
" Hey big brother," Mokuba said, "how are you?"
" That mutt has my body," he grumbled, "he could be ruining my life. Forget that friendship crap I'm going to talk to Yami to get a better way out of him."
Kaiba got up from his desk and went out the front door. He walked down the sidewalk looking for the game shop. Once he got there he opened the door but he didn't see anyone there.
" Yugi! Yami!"
No one responded.
Walking down he heard someone playing duel monster. He thought he would entertain himself we somebody's bad playing skills. When he walked down the alleyway he saw Yugi and Yami cheering someone on. The people who were dueling were Malik and Ryou against some other guy.
"Yami!"
" Kaiba?"
" Yes it's me who did you think it was?" he grunted, " anyway I want you to give me a way to change back to my old self because I know you have a better way."
" Kaiba I told you before become friends we Joey and you both will switch back now if you excuse me I'm trying to cheer Malik and Ryou on."
" No I wont excuse you this has been going on too long," he said, "I am tired of waking up looking like Joey I want to see myself for once."
" Then become Joey friend," Yami said.
" No way am I going to try that again, just because I told him his dueling skills stink didn't mean he had to walk out on me," Kaiba said.
" Well, Kaiba everyone has feelings especially Joey treat them with care," Yami said then turned his back to Kaiba.
" Your move!" Malik shouted.
" Battle ox in attack mode," He yelled.
The battle ox would have no chance against the dark magician Ryou thought what was he planning.
" Where are Marik and Bakura anyway," Duke asked.
"So many flavors of ice-cream," Marik drooled.
"So little cash," Bakura frowned, "wait I do have money."
"Every flavor please," Marik said.
"Who knows where they are," Yami said.
"What no way all my life points are gone," Richter yelled, "oh well I still have this."
He lifted the gun and was about to shoot, but was stopped by the police.
"Freeze you have a right to remain silent all you say can and will be used against you," the policeman said.
Richter was taken into the squad car.
"Glad that is over," Malik said.
"Me too," Ryou said.
"See what a grudge can do?" Yugi said, "gets you arrested."
Kaiba's phone rang so he answered it.
"Hello Mr.Kaiba,"
"Who is this?"
"Thomas Carter,"
"Why are you calling me?"
"We've decide to give you another chance," he said, "at having your company back. Come tomorrow at 6:ooam alone."
Kaiba hung up. He had a feeling this wasn't going to be good but he ignored it.
Hmm. What was that about? Read the next chapter and you will know. Review please.
