MU: Okay everyone, chapter nine is up, so have fun.

Yami: What that's all you're going to say to these people?

MU: Well, ya. There isn't much else to say. I was going to have you do the disclaimer.

Yami: Oh.

MU: Would you still like the honors, or…?

Yami: She does not own any of the Yu-Gi-Oh characters or the any of the CardCaptor Sakura characters.

MU: Thanks Yami goes over and hugs him

Yami: blushes

MU: R&R people!

Chapter 9: She's gone

After she had left, Yami had went back up to his room. He thoroughly enjoyed the time that he spent with her. At the top of the stairs, he stopped; he thought he had heard something, but he continued on only to be stopped by Yugi. He was looking at him expectantly. Yami should have known better than to hope not to have to tell his brother about it, but he nodded and they both went on into his room.

Once there, Yugi said, "Okay, now, tell me nearly all of it. Just leave out the parts that concern some private moments. Just tell me the basics."

Yami chuckled, "Yugi, the whole entire of our conversations was private, so you really aren't missing much."

Yugi looked down, then popped his head back up with a grin. "Did you at least tell her how you feel and maybe even kiss her?"

Yami looked away, blush starting to take its time coming up onto his cheeks. "Yeah, I did. I told her how I felt, but before that, I kissed her on the cheek. I was aiming for the lips, but the carriage hit a small bump and it landed on her cheek instead."

"And…."

"And what?"

"How did she respond?"

The blush started to recede as he remembered. "She blew me a kiss. Then she said, 'As I you'. I'm still trying to figure out what that means."

Yugi was dancing around the room with excitement. "I do. I know what that means. It's some kind of language girl's use on guys. In simpler terms, she said I love you. Since you said it first, she was able to say it back, in a way that would make you confused." Yugi was grinning so wide, that Yami could only wonder how his brother ever lived with a smile like that. It would have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.

As soon as Kero had transformed, all hell broke loose. People were now surrounding them. They set the horses free and killed the driver, now they were getting ready to attack the carriage straight on. Sakura could feel the power. It had much more power than she did, and she was getting frightened. Kero had gone outside to try and get them away, but it was useless, he was just flung to the side like he was just a little rag doll. He did not get up.

She felt the magic surround her and, without warning, the whole carriage fell onto its side. Unfortunately for her, as she was trying to get out of it, it fell on top of her. She yelled out in pain. Than she looked up and saw the most hideous creatures ever. They reminded her of werewolves. They started howling and scratching everything that they could get their claws on. She was the main target. Her cards were still inside the now wrecked carriage and she couldn't reach them. Or so she thought.

As she looked all around her, she saw that her handbag had fallen out of the carriage, but it was still to far away to be reached.

Her mind was racing, she needed help. That was when she remembered that she could use telepathy.

"Yami! Yami help me!"

She didn't know if it worked, but she would have to find out sooner or later; preferably sooner.

While Yami watched Yugi grin, he got a sudden pain in his head. He clutched it in agony. He was wondering what was going on when he heard "Yami! Yami help me!" His eyes widened in fear. "Sakura…?" What was happening?

"Yami, what's wrong?"

"Something is wrong. I just heard Sakura screaming for help in my head. But it couldn't be real, could it?" And as if to answer, he heard a scream. They both looked on in horror as a blast emanated from the drive. "SAKURA!" Yami bolted from the room, leaving behind a frightened Yugi.

When they thought that the carriage and girl were scratched enough, they sent up a small howl. Before them appeared a man. Sakura recognized him as the same one from the ball that tried to kiss her. He smiled mischievously. He nodded to two of the wolves and they pulled her out roughly. When they believed that they had gotten most of her out sufficiently, they yanked the rest of her from underneath. They managed to get her out, but in the process, the ripped off a long piece of her dress. They handed her over to Kaiba with what could only be described as a hideously lopsided grin. She looked into his eyes with fright. "What do you want from me?"

He caressed her face with his hand. She tried to squirm out of they way, but he grabbed her by the throat. "I want your powers and I want Yami's title. You'll be the bait for the little freak."

"You'll never get away with it."

Kaiba pulled the necklace off of her, showed it to her in his hand, then let it fall to the ground. She watched it all helplessly, sadness relevant in her eyes. Kaiba smiled. He loved putting people through misery. "You're coming with me, but before that, let's just emphasized that little telepathy trick you did to your little boyfriend." She was never so frightened in her life. He wrapped his arm around her middle and uttered a few words. Just when he released his hand from around her throat, she screamed. She was being electrocuted. "You boys have a special treat waiting for you back at home." Then a black light surrounded them and from that a blast was heard. Then they vanished.

His grandfather had gone outside when he heard the scream. Than he saw the black light and heard the blast. He was still stunned when Yami came running down the stairs and past him. He didn't know what to do.

"Sakura!" He ran down the drive, calling her name. How could he have been so stupid? She cried out to him for help and he didn't respond. He just sat there and tried to figure out if what had happened was real or not. Why couldn't he have just run out and went down to help her. He came to a stand still when he saw the carriage on its side. He paled at the sight. He called her name again, still no answer. He went over and inspected it. He found the book and rose lying on the bottom of it. As he looked around closer, he saw a piece of cloth. He picked it up. His eyes filled with fright. It was yellow. The same color as the dress she wore that day. Than he saw her bag lying just a few feet away. All around him, he saw small droplets of blood. He prayed that it wasn't Sakura's. Than, he heard a small moan. "Sakura!" When he reached where it was coming from, he stopped. "Kero!" He picked the small lion up and cradled it in his arms.

"You were to late kid, they took her." His small feeble voice said.

"Who! Where!"

"I don't know, but whoever took her had very strong magic. She couldn't even fight back."

"How did this happen Kero? Tell me."

"We were surrounded. Werewolves everywhere. Scared the horses and ate the driver. I came out to find out why we had stopped when I was attacked. Someone was there with very strong magic and I couldn't stop him. Sakura was trying to get out when they pushed it over onto her. I couldn't do anything since I was unconscious. Last I saw her, she was getting attacked by those werewolves. I woke up when I felt pain. I knew my mistress was in trouble. I was able to open my eyes for a moment when some freak was electrocuting her. Then, everything went blank. I don't know what happened after that."

Yami remained silent for some time before responding to anything. He was trying to take it all in. As he looked around him, he noticed a small slip of paper and something glinting in the dying sunlight. He placed Kero down on the handbag he had collected from the wreckage. Once he was standing over the items on the ground, he fell to his knees. It was the necklace he gave her. He clenched it in his fist as he read what was on the paper.

Yami-

If you care to see your little girlfriend alive when you next see her, come to the Dark Crystal Palace tomorrow. However, if you don't come, she'll die a very slow, very painful death. And you'll be the one responsible for it. For how long she lives, depends on you. Oh yes, and bring your duel deck with you, you're going to need it

Yami stared in disbelief at what was written on the paper. He would have to go. He just had to. He wouldn't bring anyone with him, not even Kero. He would go alone.

MU: So, watch ya think?

Yami: That wasn't to bad, but why did you have to make it so miserable in the end? And since when did werewolves become part of this fic? We're not doing anything with Harry Potter.

MU: Well, I had to get anguish into it somehow. Anyways, there are going to be much sadder parts in this. As for the werewolves, I decided to include them because I needed something for henchmen and they needed to have claws to rip things up with. But later on when I'm finished with this one, you're going to be in another fic. A Harry Potter one.

Yami: 0.0

MU: Aren't I just adorable? Starts smiling

Yami: UH…Yeah.

MU: Oh you're so sweet Yami! Goes over and hugs and kisses Yami on cheek

Yami: blushing furiously

MU: Remember peeps, R&R
