DISCLAIMER: I do not, have not and never will own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Author's Note: BEWD again. Just to clear a few things up. This is what I'll call the Yamis and their Hikaris. (Hikari/Yami) Yugi/Yami, Ryou/Bakura, Malik/Marik. Okay, got that? Good. Enjoy.
Yu-Gi-Oh: Wolf
Chapter 2
It didn't take long for Seto's paws to begin to feel numb. They had been walking for over an hour now. Each kept stopping at intervals to shake snow out of their eyes and off their fur.
Seto made sure to walk as close as he could to his brother. He knew it would barely help but he didn't want Mokuba to get too cold.
Okay, I think there's shelter just over there, said Yugi encouragingly for about the 50th time.
Next to him, Ryou sank into another deep snowdrift. He pulled himself out, grumbling. Great. At this rate I'm going to freeze to death…
Seto rolled his eyes. Yes sure, you're the only one who's freezing!
Hey, said Joey suddenly. Has anyone seen Malik?
Seto looked around and counted the wolves. There were four besides himself.
Maybe he got lost, said Bakura hopefully, coming out of the Millennium Ring.
Think we should look for him? asked Joey.
Come on, we better find him, answered Yami also taking over his Hikari.
Seto glowered at his rival but followed anyway. They retraced their fading paw prints on the ground but the falling snow soon covered them completely.
Now what? asked Ryou looking around.
/-Need I remind you about the Millennium Ring?-/ Bakura asked Ryou through their soul link.
/-Oh yeah, thanks.-/
Ryou reached down and picked up the Millennium Ring in his teeth. The left most pointer glowed. Ryou ran left awkwardly while still holding up the Ring.
The others followed at a trot and soon ended up in a denser part of the pine forest. As they went deeper, it got darker and the snow on the ground began to thin out.
Seto heard a sound somewhere not too far. The wolf instincts in him told him: danger! He stopped. What was it?
Hey, wait a minute, he said distractedly to the others, trying to figure out the sound.
What? Yami asked, turning to look at him.
You tired or something? sneered Joey.
Just listen, Seto snapped back.
There it was again… a sort of tramping sound. Like someone was approaching. They weren't alone.
Seto looked in every direction, trying to hone in on the sound. The only problem was that it seemed to be coming from every direction at once.
The noise stopped. Slowly, wolves began to emerge all around them. Seto counted twelve. They were surrounded.
I think these are real wolves, muttered Joey.
Gee, do you think? asked Seto sarcastically.
Don't move, said Yami cautiously. I have a feeling we just walked into their territory
I read something about wolves, said Mokuba. Something about the Alpha wolves fighting for the right of specific territory
So who's our Alpha wolf?
The other pack was closing in. But they were doing so slowly and cautiously. Seto had a feeling they had never seen so many differently colored wolves in one pack. That was one small advantage.
Lets just attack, said Bakura eagerly.
Fine. But don't try to kill them. Just hurt them enough and try to escape, alright? instructed Yami glancing around at the circle of wolves.
You cant tell me what to do, growled Seto.
Kaiba there isn't any time, argued Yami. They'll decide if they want to attack or not soon.
Seto growled. He glanced at Mokuba. Fine. But if this doesn't work I'm not listening to you any more.
Now!
5 wolves launched themselves at the enemy. The startled wolf pack didn't react quickly enough.
Seto landed on a wolf and latched on with his teeth. He threw it as hard as he could into a tree. Another came and he bit that one too. He turned to look for Mokuba. This wasn't easy due to all the wolves around him.
Hey! Get off!
Agh!
Some help here!
Seto heard the thought speech of the others but continued to look for his brother. Finally, he spotted him.
Mokuba was latched onto the back of one wolf, who couldn't seem to get him off.
Come on!
Seto ran over and grabbed his brother by the scruff of the neck and fought his way through the crowd. Several wolves attacked him but he kept going.
He finally managed to get into very dark part of the woods. He dropped Mokuba and checked around for the others. They were still in the battle. He shook his head. Why did he want to help them?!
Mokuba, stay here.
He ran back and began attacking again. Again. Again. The wolves kept coming.
Get out of there already! yelled Seto angrily.
They couldn't win. The pack was larger than they suspected. Seto felt a heavy thud and a wolf landed on his back. He growled and looked back to see a blondish white wolf on him.
Take that!
Get off me you idiot!
Kaiba?
Of all the wolves, you had to land on me?!
Marik got off. You're easy to aim for, being brown and all.
Seething, Seto went in to look for the others. He found Joey practically covered in wolves. He grabbed one with his teeth and yanked it off.
Try running will you?
Seto felt teeth bite his flank. Twisting around, he managed to pull away. This was becoming massacre. Fast. He managed to get back to where he left Mokuba. Yami, Marik and Joey were with him. Most of them were injured, but only slightly so.
Bakura joined them shortly.
That was fun.
Okay, lets run before they notice that we're gone. I think the scuffle attracted another pack.
They ran. Ran through the forest, out onto a large clearing with foot deep snow. Compared to fighting, running was easy. Wolves like to run.
