Chapter 08: "Kidnapped!"
At the aquarium, Yugi and Joey were with Rouge, looking at the killer whales from the top of the tank when Mai came back with some ice cream. "I got the ice cream!" She giggled.
Yugi's single amythest eye looked up now from the whales at the word ice cream, smiling happily before bounding over.
She grinned and handed the cones to Yugi and Joey and went back to looking at the orcas. "I love these guys, they're certainly something else."
Nodding the young teen was busy licking up the dripping ice cream. "We have them back home as well, they hunt seals, thats why they are called Killer Whales."
She nodded. "Funny, how such a name can be so decieving. Nothing is ever as they appear, or so I'm told."
"Mhmmm..." Managing to get the dripping mess under control the teen eagerly worked on devowering the treat.
Rouge stood behind Joey and Yugi as she watched the whale. "Well, you're right about one thing, Mai. Nothing IS as it seems."
The single amythest eye blinked, looking up at the bat behind him, he was getting uneasy about the tone of voice.
Rouge looked at Joey for a moment. "Hey Joey, can you dog-
paddle?"
Joey blinked. "Well, du-AGH!"
Joey was pushed into the whale tank, and Rouge grabbed Yugi and started making a break for it. Mai yelped and ran to help Joey out. "ROUGE! SOMEONE HELP! SHE KIDNAPPING THAT KID!"
Yugi was in a panic now at being snatched away, struggling to get loose from the bat to help Joey. "JOEY!"
Rouge bumped past the approaching Seto and Yami and took to the skies, flapping her bat wings as Mai struggled to help Joey out. Yami paniced immeditely. "YUGI!"
The teen was biting and scraching trying to get away. "YAMI HELP!" The blue eyed wolf was already running for the tank Joey was thrown in.
Mai and Seto worked together to get the wet pup out of the tank as he flopped on the ground. She looked at Seto. "What's going on! Why did Rouge just suddenly kidnap Yugi like that!"
"She's the reason for Yami's dissappearence and the fight at the club. She drugged both of them. She and a few others had threated Yami to stay out of their way, then later injected him with a drug and laced Sonic's drink."
"But why! She's my best friend, I don't understand why she'd do this!"
Pulling off his trenchcoat he wrapped it around the shivering blond. "She's a spy for Shadow."
Joey leaned in, trembling. That damn tank was ICE cold! Mai covered his mouth. "Oh dear Hope no..."
Rubbing at Joey's arms he looked in the direction Rouge had flown off in.
"But why now? She could of done it while I was off getting ice cream..."
Joey shivered. "Cause she wanted you to be there so you could take the fall..."
Pulling Joey in close to warm him, the brunette frowned. "She is dead."
Joey peeked out from Seto's arms. "Where's Yami?"
"He went chasing after them..."
Mai shook her head. "He's not gonna get too far. She's way too fast in the air for anyone to catch up."
Seto closed his eyes sadly at the truth of those words. "Mai, go get something warm for Joey."
She nodded and ran off for the employee room to find something.
Wrapping his arms around the shivering pup the brunette growled possessivly. "No one dunks you into a tank and gets away with it."
Joey made a whining sound. "We...gotta find Yugi...I was really starting to like this one..."
"Don't worry pup, we'll get him back but right now we need to get you warmed up first."
Mai came back with some towels. "If Rouge is taking Yugi to Shadow, we need to gather the whole team together."
The brunette nodded at that. "We can count on Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in coming. Sent the orginal tape we've found to the hedgehog and knowing him, he'll be pissed."
She nodded. "Let's find Yami and get back to the palace. I want to get back at that bat for backstabbing me."
He nodded, picking up Joey easily before heading out to find the other teen.
