Chapter 2: Kaiba's True Feelings and an Unexpected Danger
That Saturday mourning, Yugi puts on a pair of blue jeans and a white T-shirt. He walks out of the house, towards Anzu's place. He takes a shortcut through an alleyway and transforms into Yami. When he reaches her house, he knocks on the door. Her mother answers the door.
"Is Anzu home?"
"She's getting ready to go to the mall."
"Can you tell her that I'm here?"
"Ok, just wait for her out here, Yugi." She closes the door. Yami sits on the stoop. This is unusual. Mrs. Mazaki usually lets me in, while Anzu gets ready. A few minutes later, Anzu comes out in a pink mini skirt, a hot pink tank top, and a pair of white tennis shoes.
"Ready to go, Yami?" He stands up and waits for her, as she walks down the steps.
"Ready as I'll ever be." They start to head towards the mall.
"So, Yami. What do you think of the new girl in school?"
"I never really met her, so I don't know what to think about her. How do you like her?"
"She's ok, a bit shy though." Yami nods his head, not telling Anzu about Sedjet sticking up for Yugi. They reach the mall and he sees Kaiba's car in the parking lot. Great, I don't want to be bugged by him today, he thought as he pushed Anzu into the mall.
"Yami, what are you doing?" She turns to face him.
"Kaiba's here and I don't want him to see me." Anzu looks like she wants to ask a question, but shakes her head. She grabs his hand and leads him to the game shop. Hope this keeps his mind off of Kaiba for a while. She spots Sedjet looking at some duel monster cards.
"Hey, Sedjet; I didn't know you like duel monsters." She turns around and sees Anzu and Yami. She was wearing a black t-shirt, with an ank on it, a black pair of jeans, a pair of black and red gloves with the fingers exposed and black boots.
"Yeah, I love the game. Anzu, who's this guy?"
"You know who Yugi is. How can you forget him?"
"This is not Yugi, Yugi's shorter then him." She walks up to Yami and looks him straight in his eyes. He can see that she's not like anyone else he's met in the past.
"You're right, I'm not Yugi. I'm a spirit that 'lives' in the millennium puzzle." She smiles and nods her head.
"What's your name or shall I call you 'Spirit'?"
"Now, here's the two timer. With both girls, this is interesting." Yami turns around and sees Kaiba standing in the doorway. Sedjet and Anzu glare at Kaiba. He gets a smug look on his face.
"Girl, didn't I tell you Monday, not to hang out with these freaks!"
"My name's Sedjet and you have no right in telling me what to do or not do." Kaiba calmly walks up to her.
"I'll let the first two slip, but the next time you talk to me like that I might have to take drastic measures." She rolls her eyes and waves goodbye to Anzu and Yami. Kaiba glares at her as she walks out of the shop.
"Now, Yugi. I say that you should defend your honor, by dueling me."
"Not now, Kaiba!"
"I'm going to duel you, Yugi, and I'm going to win." With that Kaiba turns around and walks out of the shop.
"Yami, I think that we should head back to Yugi's place." He nods his head in agreement. It took them a few minutes to get to Yugi's house, but it seemed like an eternity, because of the silence between them.
Meanwhile back at the mall, Sedjet was coming out of a clothing store. She took a black and red collar out. The silver diamond shaped ornament that hung off of it had onyx and ruby encrusted within it. She puts it on and heads towards the food court. I wonder if I should go back and buy that card at the game shop. She ran into someone, because she wasn't paying attention to where she was going.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to run into you." She looks up and sees Kaiba.
"You're lucky that your boyfriend didn't see you running into me."
"I don't have a boyfriend." She turned around and tried to walk away, but he grabs her hand.
"Didn't I warn you, about raising your voice at me."
"You did, but I'm not raising voice," she tries to slap his face with her free hand, but he grabs her wrist tightly, "Let me go!"
"Now you're yelling." He releases one of her hands and loosens his grip on the other. He leads her out to his car and opens the passenger door.
"Get in!" She glares at him, but does what he said. What's he going to do to me? He gets into the driver's seat and drives out of the city.
"Where are you taking me," she said quietly, almost a whisper. She looks at her lap, waiting for his answer.
"To a place where nobody knows exist, not even my little brother." She looks at him, confused. He drives them up into the mountains. The trees around them are getting thicker. Eventually the trees got so thick, that Kaiba had to stop the car and lead Sedjet a few miles through the woods. She started to hear running water. They finally stop in a clearing. A crystal clear stream was running through a lush green field, untouched by man.
"It's beautiful. Why'd you bring me here and no one else?"
"Well if you don't want to be here then head back to the car!"
"No… I thought you didn't like me, because I hang out with Yugi and his friends." She puts her arms around his neck.
"That's what I want them to think," he puts his hands around her waist, "Where are you originally from?"
"Egypt." He laughs a bit.
"What?"
"You don't look like you're from Egypt."
"Well, my father was an archeologist from England. He was in a dig in Luxor, when he met my mother. She was about our age, 17or 18. He never left Egypt after meeting her." She laughs, as she wiped some tears off her face.
"I think I better bring you home, before they begin to worry." She removes her arm from around his neck. He gently places one of his hands into hers and leads her back to the car.
The next day, Jounouchi, Honda, and Anzu are at Yugi's house. They're watching a show on TV.
"Yugi, something came for you in the mail." Mr. Muto comes in with a package.
"Thanks, grandpa." He takes the package from his grandfather.
"Well, who's it from?"
"It's from a guy named Seth Kenjela. Wonder if he's related to Sedjet." Yugi opens the package. He gave a gasp as he dropped the box.
"What is it Yug," Jounouchi and Honda ask simultaneously. Anzu looks in the box sheepishly and screams. Jounouchi picks up the box and opens it. He saw a mummified human hand, with a note underneath it. He reaches in the box slowly, almost like he's afraid that the hand might spring to life and grab him. He hands Yugi the note.
Dear Mr. Yugi Muto,
I believe you have something that my master wants. If you're wondering whose hand, it is of your beloved pharaoh's. Say hi then goodbye to my dear little sister.
"His sister? Could it be Sedjet?" Yugi places the letter on the coffee table and runs out the door; leaving Anzu and the others standing there, worried. That basterd better not be related to her. He transforms into Yami and stops when he sees Sedjet in front of an apartment building.
"Sedjet… I have something to ask you."
"What is it Spirit? I have to get ready to leave."
"It's Yami. Do you have a brother?"
"Yes, he's one of Merik's mind slaves. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner, but I didn't think they'd find me this quickly." She goes into the building. Yami follows her to her apartment.
"Where are you going? Why are you running?"
"I'm leaving for the U.S. I have to stay away from the Rare Hunters, far away." She picks up a miniature model of an obelisk and puts it in a box labeled 'Seth'. A pure black cat jumps into the box.
"Basset, you shouldn't be in there," she said as she tossed the cat out of the box, "Yami, if you don't mind, please leave. I have a lot of packing to do."
"Sedjet, either you or your brother is in danger."
"That's why I have to stay away from the Rare Hunters; they know who I was in a past life. My parents found it on a pharaoh's tomb. Can you tell everyone I said goodbye?" All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. She gives a sigh and goes to answer it. There was a scream and a dragging noise. Yami ran to the door and saw that she was gone.
"Not again…." Yami stood there quietly; he was seeing something from his past. Sedjet was in a white robe with gold trimmings. She had a sword on her side and was holding a staff. 'My pharaoh, I am here to serve and protect you.' She kneels down and looks up at him. Yami silently tells her to get up. 'Now go outside of the chambers and stand watch." She nods her head. 'Yes my king.' She goes out of his chambers, closing these massive stone doors. Yami walks over to the balcony and stares off into the night. A scream comes from outside the room. He goes to investigate what happened. He opens the door to see nobody there; Sedjet was kidnapped, but it looks like she did put up a good fight before she was taken. There was blood on the floor. 'Is this from the kidnapper or the kidnappee?'
Yami snaps out of it and runs back to Yugi's, to get some reinforcements. He explains to them how he ran to Sedjet's apartment to warn her of her brother and that she was kidnapped.
"It could have been Merik and his cronies."
"I have a feeling that it is." They decide to split up and search the city. They all looked in old, abandoned buildings; in the slums; even in the park, but no trace of her.
Meanwhile, Bakura's tying Sedjet up to a support beam; she's unconscious He calls to someone in the shadows.
"Is she tied up real good, Tomb Raider?"
"Good as it can be, now tell me again, how this will help me in getting the millennium puzzle?"
"When the pharaoh comes to rescue her, I'll take what Master Merik needs and you can have the puzzle."
