Chapter 6

While Joey and Kaiba were fretting at the bottom of the deep pit wondering what was going to happen to them, Yami and Yugi were searching for the two teens.

"Yami, Yugi asked his eyes full of concern, where did Kaiba and Joey go?"

"That's what I'm trying to find out my aibou. It's getting dark and as much as I hate Kaiba right now, I don't want to see him get mugged or anything."

"Yami, Kaiba and Joey can both take care of themselves especially Joey since he is used to protecting himself," Yugi walked along side of his yami whose eyes were scanning the surroundings every split second.

"I know aibou. I just feel responsible for them. If Yami Bakura and Yami Malik were to find them, I don't even what to think of what will happen. Those two are trouble!"

"It's to bad Bakura and Malik can't control their yamis. I'm glad you're like those two psychos! I don't know what I would do," Yugi embraced his darker half while tears streamed down his pale cheeks.

"I will never be like those two. My word is my bond." Yami picked up his lighter half and swung him while they both laughed unaware that Kaiba and Joey were screaming their lungs out calling for help.

Well, it was actually Joey who was hollering at the top his lungs while Kaiba only crossed his arms in disgust and knew that something ominous was going to happen any second.

"Hello Kaiba, Joey,"Yami Malik crept on his knees down in the hole, his purple orbs searching for its prey.

"Uhhhhh hi,"Joey acknowledged sheepishly, his throat becoming more parched and his mind was imagining horrible acts of violence every second.

"What do you two want? Get us out of here. My patience is growing thin," the teenaged executive swayed his head to the right to peer into the eyes of the two villains who only seemed to smile as if they were coaching him to complain more.

"I see you haven't changed," the albino haired yami spoke sarcastically while he fiddled with his knife in his left hand.

"Either have you, Kaiba shot back in defense, "terrorizing other people must be your hobby? It's pitiful if you ask me."

"Kaiba don't upset them. I don't want this spot to be my burial ground. Those two are nuts and extremely dangerous," Joey tugged on Kaiba's coat in which he glared at him for touching his precious coat with his grubby, soiled fingers.

"Hands off the coat Wheeler! Kaiba turned to attack him verbally, but halted from doing so when he heard a maniacal laughter.

"You two always seem to amuse me," Yami Malik snickered his tongue hanging out in the most inappropriate manner.

"Why don't you put the tongue somewhere else besides in front of me? You disgust me," Kaiba backed away from the gleaming maniac.

"Why thank you Kaiba," his words slithered out of his mouth.

"You're boring me Yami Malik, why don't we have some fun with these two? Let's see how well they can scream," Yami Bakura's knife glistened in the moonlight while he crept slowly towards them.

"Any plans genius? Joey uttered with the side of his mouth.

"I'm working on it." Kaiba mumbled back his eyes searching for an escape route.

"Please don't kill us, Joey dropped to his knees. We didn't do anything to you."

"Wheeler! Get up! Show them that you're a man and not some sniveling yellow coward." Kaiba jerked on Joey; s shirt and yanked him back up to his staggering feet.

"Ohhhh… Kaiba is being a tough guy ehh. I'll break down your spirit as if you were a feeble twig," Yami Bakura placed the point of his knife near the CEO's placid throat.

Just when Joey and Kaiba thought their lives were going to end at the hands of these lunatics, a ray of hope shined through the heavens for Yami and Yugi had arrived just at the nick of time.

"Leave those two alone. You dare mangle them in anyway, you'll face my wrath!" Yami roared silencing the dark spirits.

"Oh no! It's the blasted pharaoh! He always ruins our fun!" Yami Malik rolled his eyes and caw ked his head like a demented parrot.

"Tell me about it!" Yami Bakura sheaved his knife in his left pocket.

"Yugi stay up there! I don't want you to get involved. I want to know that you're safe and not in the clutches of these two killers." Yami warned as he leapt into the deep abyss.

"All right, Yami" Yugi slightly pouted.

"Yugioh! Get us out of here now!" Kaiba yelled his voice becoming more coarse and timid.

"Hello to you to Kaiba. I'll deal with these guys; Yami hurled Kaiba and Joey out of the hole by using his ancient powers.

"Come get us Pharaoh! They yelled in unison as they ascended into the night.

"I'm not done with you two!" Yami flew after them while Kaiba, Joey and Yugi could only watch.
