Rare Hunted
Ok, I'm finally updating. I know my past chapters were… short… but this one will be MUCH longer. I promise. Well, you didn't come here to listen to me babble so, Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh. There.
The Yu-Gi-Oh gang had reached their destination. "This is too easy," Yami said as he looked around and saw nobody.
"It could be a trap, NO! JOEY, COME BACK!" But Mai was too late, Joey was more than halfway to the open door when he saw Serenity.
"SERENITY!"
"NO!" Everyone shouted after Joey, "It could be a trap!"
Joey turned around, "But she's right der. My little sista is right der in fronta me and I can't do anythin' to save er?" Joey shook his head and ran all the way to his sister.
Everyone ran after him because they all know that Joey will somehow get himself in trouble and will eventually get everyone else in trouble no matter where they were or what they were doing.
Joey knelt down in front of Serenity and put his hands on her shoulders, "Ren! Serenity! Wake up!" Joey shook his little sister's shoulders.
'She looks…' gulp 'She doesn't look…' Joey started crying.
Everyone else stood at a respectful distance and let Joey have his "alone time".
"How sweet," said a voice.
Everyone looked around… but nobody was there.
"Up here, you idiots," Marik said.
Everyone's eyes darted up to the arcs supporting the ceiling.
There was Marik sitting up on the arcs in the shadows. He jumped down and landed on his feet in a cat-like manner. Somehow, his hood still covered his face while his purple cape flared around him. He stood up and walked over to Serenity.
Joey backed off in shock.
Marik put his arms around Serenity, "Beautiful, isn't she? She's really grown on me. So, if you want her back, you'll have to hand over BOTH the Egyptian God Cards and the Millennium Puzzle."
Joey got extremely angry, "WHAT DA HELL??? HOW DARE YOU TRY TA TRADE MY SISTA FOR YUGI'S MILLENNIUM ITEMS??? GIVE MY SISTA BACK NOW!!!!"
Marik said calmly, "Are you done yet? Anyways, I told you, she's grown on me. So the only thing that can take her away from me is if you give me the ransom. So what'll it be, Pharaoh?"
"DAT'S IT!!!" Joey screamed as he charged at full speed toward Marik and ready to punch the crap out of him.
"NOW!!" Marik yelled.
Rare Hunters poured out of the shadows and there were two Rare Hunters holding each person.
"LET ME GO!!! GIVE ME MY SISTA BACK!!" Joey struggled.
(Did everyone just forget Tristin and Duke? HAHAHA!!)
"How about you let all of us discuss this over alone?" Yami proposed.
"That could work. No funny business or the guys die and Serenity is mine forever," Marik agreed.
The Yu-Gi-Oh gang was led to a small room with cement walls, now windows, and only one door. Meanwhile Marik was staring at the unconscious Serenity and thinking… of… stuff… (EWWW!! PERVERT!!! HE'S A PSYCHO PERVERT!!)
"LET'S GIVE IM THE RANSOM!!!" Joey shouted.
"Joey, that is just HANDING Marik power. Think about it. If we give Marik the items, he has enough power to rule the world. He can ORDER Serenity to be his girlfriend. He can take Serenity away from you forever. If that doesn't work, he can always mind control people to do whatever he wants-Huh?" Mai was cut off.
Joey had tears in his eyes, "S-so I have to say good bye to my o-one and only sister? The one thing I-I'm proud of in my life? I-I-I can n-never see her again?"
There was a long period of silence in which everyone watches Joey wipe away his tears.
"Fine… If dat's da way it has to be. So be it. I'll let my sista s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-"
"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!" Seto screamed at him.
"Stay here with M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M"
Seto rolls his eyes.
"Marik."
Soon, everyone came to Marik. Serenity was awake and untied. She was happily talking to Marik. Both were laughing.
Marik saw everyone come into the room, "I gotta take care of something, Serenity. I'll see you in a little bit."
"Okay! By, Marik!!" Serenity said happily.
Everyone's jaws dropped open.
Joey's eye twitched.
Marik pushed them all back into the room they were in previously.
"Ok, what's your decision?" Marik asked.
"We've decided to let Serenity stay with you," Yami replied smoothly.
"Great! I'll let each of you say your own individual good-byes," Marik said, "Step out into the hallway."
Everyone did as they were told.
Marik fetched Serenity, Duke (now awake), and Tristin (now awake).
Marik led Serenity into the room and sat her down in a chair.
Joey was the first to say good-bye.
"Hello? Who's there?" Serenity asked.
Joey knelt down in front of Serenity.
"Hello?"
Joey threw his arms around Serenity, "S-Serenity!"
"JOEY?? Is that really you??"
Joey was crying, "I'm goin' ta be leavin' you."
"W-what?"
Joey explained the whole thing.
"But, if Marik was just using me as hostage, why was he so nice to me?"
"What did he do ta you???" Joey yelled through tears, "He didn't do anythin' like-"
"No, Joey, he was really sweet."
Serenity told Joey what happened.
"HE HUGGED YOU??? DAT CREEP!!"
"No, Joey, it'll be fine."
Joey sighed, "Fine… Just… could you take off your bandages now? I want to see you… one last time."
Serenity immediately unwrapped her bandages and slowly opened her eyes, "Joey, I can see!!"
The first thing she saw was Joey's tear-stained face.
The siblings hugged one last time, then the next person came in.
