Chapter 6: "Millenium Plaza"
After Yami brought in a rather delicious lunch, the door opened and Joey was tugging on Seto's hand as he happily walked in. "Hey you!"
One amythest eye looked up from where he had curled up within Yami's lap. "Hello."
He grinned. "How ya feeling, big guy?"
A faint smile appeared after a moment. "Better, I told Yami about your offer."
"And?" Yami smiled. "I think its a great idea. A good chance for Yugi to get some fresh air."
The small teen was still a little uneasy about being out of his room, though so long as his Yami was agreed to the idea, he may as well go.
Joey offered his hand to help Yugi up. "Come on then. Let's go have some fun."
Giving a tiny smile he took the offered hand, afterwards moving over to Yami's side.
"There we go!" He took them out into the bright city. Everything look so bright and fantastic! Tall buildings looking like they were made of bright crystal rose above the skyline. It looked like a fantasic city as many people happily milled about their business. From business walkers, to recreation hoverbladers, this city was ALIVE with happiness.
Yugi's face showed his wonder clearly at how the city was, at times very tempted to wonder away from Yami's side.
Joey was watching him before he got a brilliant idea and skipped ahead, stopping the group. "Wait a minute, wait a minute. Seto, BRILLIANT idea. Just hear me out."
Ice blue eyes reguarded the Terrain for a moment. "Speak before I lose my temper, mutt."
"Millenium Plaza. Best part of the city. The outdoor market, the rides, the live entertainment, the convention center, its a PERFECT area!"
He frowned slightly in thought. "Maybe but we'll have to be a bit more carefull there too remember. Not everyone is keen on the idea of Yugi being here, even if he is from another world."
"And half of them barely KNOW of Shadow's pet project. It's the perfect place! I'll watch him, promise!"
Relucently have gave in. "Alright pup you can take them both there."
He jumped for joy. "YAY!" Come on then!" He tugged at Seto and Yugi's hands to hurry them up.
Thinking that he was finally going to have some fun for one he obedently allowed himself to be lead.
They went to the plaza. It was BEYOND amazing. There were shops lined up in a huge plaza, with a theme park off to one side, a LARGE conventin center to another direction, a mall in a third direction, and an aquarium in the remaining direction, all along near a bay area withere a boardwalk had been set up with LOTS of outdoor shops.
Yugi was complety relaxed and at ease by now, happily chatting up a storm with Yami and Seto instead of clinging to the older teen.
Yami grinned, and was unrealizing moving his body to the beat of the music coming from live entertainment occuring at an outdoor stage off to one side, with street performers showing off in the plaza to the tourists.
Seeing a small shop that was catching his attetion the youngster bounded on over happily to get a closer look at the bracelets.
Yami smiled and joined him. People around here seemed to pay the little one no mind whatsoever as he looked over the shop. Skipping from the convention, a girl, dressed up like Dark Magician Girl, skipped over towards Seto. "Mr. Kaiba, Mr. Kaiba!" She looked at him. "Sir, is this outfit okay for the promo? I wanna make sure I'm doing my job right..."
Blue eyes glanced at her for a few minutes before giving a nod of approval. "Very well done miss."
She grinned. "Aah, thank you sir! My brother over there is dressed up as well. We seem to be getting a lot of hype up already!"
The wolf brunette nodded, glancing as he noticed that Yugi had found the small pile of limited edition Dark Magician plushies.
A freelance photographer skipped up to the group. "Wow, what a group! Wanna souvener photo?"
Yugi looked up and blinked a bit before the idea of being in a photo caused him to hide behind Yami nervously.
He laughed and looked down at him. "What is it, hikari?"
"I don't want my picture taken..."
"Why? Because of your eye?"
Slowly he nodded at the question, lowering his head sadly.
He knelt down before him. "Listen to me...you're very beautiful to me, no matter what. There's no reason to be nervous, or shy. If you don't want a picture, that's fine, but don't let it be because of what's happened to you." He smiled a bit. "Sides, if we ever DO get home, we'll have a picture to hold on to, right?"
Relucently he nodded, Yami was right, its just, he still felt ashamed of the loss of his eye.
He smiled and kissed his forehead. "That's my little hikari." He stood back up just as the guy dressed as the Dark Magician had wandered over to see what his sister was up to. They eagerly joined in for a photograph.
The single amythest eye lit up at seeing the person dressed like his favorite card and hurried over to him.
Yami laughed and the photographer got a good shot of the group once they had made a pose. "Alright guys!" Joey flipped a few gold coins to the photographjer as she wandered over to a kiosk. The stand had electronic equipment set up so she could print out copies of the photo she made.
Still hanging onto the magician plushie the small teen held it up to Yami. "Can I get this?"
He looked at Seto in question. He didn't have any money himself, of course.
The tall brunette looked down at the youngster before giving a small nod in the direction of the shop owner that was in charge of selling it. "I'll pay for it myself."
Yami smiled. "Thank you."
Joey howled in delight as the pictures came out. "Hey everyone! Looklooklook!" He showed them off. "Best group shot in the WORLD!"
Yugi and Seto both blinked at Joey's excitement before looking at the pictures.
They all looked like a great group, the way they were shot together. And Yugi was turned in JUST the right direction so that his REAL eye was more profound and no one could barely tell that his other eyes was patched up.
A faint smile showed on his face at how it came out, glad that it make him look like he was normal.
Joey tugged at Yugi's hand. "Come on, let's go check out the rides!"
Yugi smiled happily before nodding and hurried after his new friend.
They enjoyed the afternoon riding the rides, checking out the aquarium, and walking down the street to check out the shops. It was one of the greatest afternoons that Yami's ever experienced, and he hoped Yugi felt the same way.
The small teen was becoming tired finally, all the excitement having worn him out.
As they walked down the street, Yami noticed one of the buildings was currently roped off with police tape. "What's that place?"
Joey sighed. "The club..."
Confused the youngster looked up at the two half humans. "Why's it roped off?"
"We're still investigating and getting it cleaned up." Joey looked at Seto. "The night our Yami got drunk and tore up the bar, attacking some people..."
"We need to get the tape away from Sonic. I went to check on him and he had cried himself to sleep again, the tape was still playing."
Yami blinked. "Could...I get a look inside the place?"
Blue eyes blinked for a moment before frowning in thought. "I'm not sure that would be wise."
"Well...I want to get a look around. Everything's as it was since that fight, right?"
Slowly he nodded. "Alright but we'll have to stay with you."
"Understood." They headed in the back way where guards let them in. They looekd around the club. "Sophisicated. You guys hang out together here?"
He nodded slightly. "Every other night we would come here. Sonic and Yami would always sit over at the booth over there."
He looked at the booth. "Where you two here the night of the fight?"
Sadly he shook his head. "We were at a meeting debating on when to release the game."
He nodded. "So you were only told that Yami got drunk and got into a fight..."
"Actually it was caught on tape, which Sonic has a copy of."
He nodded. "Assuming that they come here a lot, does Yami drink a lot?"
Once again he shook his head. "Not as much as he did that night. Him and Sonic usually get drinks with little alchaol in it."
"So he doesn't normal get drunk..."
"Thats right. Also, as caught on the tape Sonic wasn't acting like himself either."
He thought about it. "You say Sonic has the security tape of the main area?"
Once more the nod answered. "Thats correct and the blasted hedgehog watches it every night."
"Okay. Can you show me the secuity room? I wanna look at some things."
Nodding he headed towards the security room, knowing there was another copy of the tape there.
He sat down and reviewed the tape of the main area. "The waitress called him to the bar itself, do you have security tape of that area?"
The brunette shuffled through the different tapes before pulling it out.
He put it in and reviewed it. It looked like it coincided with what happened. Yami walked to the bar, only to be sprung by a suprise drink on the house, with they offered. He sat down and began to drink it.
Ice blue eyes narrowed now at that. "So thats what happened. Both of them were drugged."
He watched it, and in the video, Yami was being called to the back. A few minutes later, bodies went flying as Yami went on a his rampage.
Yugi buried his face into Yami's shirt after a few minutes of watching. He was having trouble beleiving it wasn't his Yami that was on the tape.
He hugged him tightly. "Something still doesn't add up. I'd like to come back later and review the tapes some more."
"Alright Yami. As of now we are still waiting for our world's Yami to return."
He nodded and started to get up to leave. "One thing. You may want to get the place cleaned up soon, place is starting to smell like a rat died."
Chuckling he nodded. "We plan to, so don't worry."
