Freeze Frame

Part 2: The Wanderer

Disclaimer: Like I said before I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. Japan ppls all made this all possible. Blah, blah, blah yeah. Lets get to it now.

I really do treasure the reviews I received when making the first chapter. Even if it sucked when I made it, I am still thankful. To be honest I didn't expect to get any. One of them turned out to be my favorite author! That totally made my day. This is the part when trouble stirs up.

I fibbed, there ain't gonna be 13 chapters. I narrowed it down to about 8 chapters instead. Oh, by the way, if your in to Yami and think you'll find him in here your only about 29 percent correct. If you want to know why, just keep reading.

Stas: Guess what Yami?

Yami: What?

Stas: Your not in this fic till the 7-8 chapter.

Yami: WHAT?

Stas: In fact, I think Yugi forgets about you in this chapter.

Yami: Nooooooo!

Stas: Yes. . . YES! Muahhahahaha!

Yami: Why? WHY!

Stas: Your in one of the most dramatic parts! You should be grateful I even put you in two chapters.

Yugi: I don't wanna forget you :cries on Yami's lap:

Yami: It could be worse Yugi.

Yugi : looks up from Yami's lap: Is that even possible?

Yami: Well, at least someone won't beat the crap out of you in the story, right?

Stas: um. . . you know that might just happen. . .er. . .what I meant to say was. . . enjoy first, review later! hehehe

"So why did you two, all of a sudden. . . lose control of your laughter?" questioned Tristan.

"Well, Tea told me something would happen, and well. . . right after she said it, it did."

(Long pause)

"So Yugi, are you telling me that she's a, psycho?"

"Not psycho, she's psychic you dork," said Duke.

"I knew that. I was just. . . quizzing him," hastily stated Tristan.

"Tristan, YOU are such a psycho. Stop pretending you know everything,"spat Duke.

"No offense Tristan, but your not a very bright person when it comes to common sense anyway." Joey was really pushing his luck on saying that. Usually HE was the one that always got confused.

"Ok Joey, enough smart talk," teased Serenity. She was holding back Tristan from punching Joey, in a casual manner, as if she did this often.

"Yug's," continued Joey. He was apparently ignoring Serenity's remark. "what's so funny about that? Ain't that kind of like Deja Vu," asked Joey. "Seriously, what made you two laugh so hard like that?"

"I don't know, I guess we're kind of hiding something," said Yugi in a mysterious voice. His own voice sounded far away.

"Yugi! Don't say that. Now they'll wanna know the secret." whispered Tea to Yugi.

"Ohhhh, I know what they're hiding. . ." said Joey starting to chuckle. "It's sooo obvious."

"What do you think they're trying to hide from us?" asked Duke.

"I bet I'm right too," Joey was starting to feel WAY too confident for his britches. "I think Tea and Yugi are going out."

"WHAT?" everyone seemed very perplexed at the remark he made.

"Me and Yugi are just friends. . . at the moment," explained Tea. "Nothing more, and nothing less."

Yugi was very disturbed that Joey said such a thing. He felt completely flushed. This made him feel like his fever rose 2 degrees in the process. Before he knew what he was doing, he stood up and went out the front door (not noticing his deck in hand). Everything looked far distant and hazy to him. It never occurred to him that he left his millennium puzzle behind. He had no clue where he was going either, which didn't help matters. He was practically sleep walking, in his own confusion.

There was a warning on the radio in the cottage about a severe storm heading toward the eastern part of Switzerland. It said the temperature would drop to -18 degrees in 62 minutes. This worried Yugi's friends. They realized they'd have to pray to God that Yugi would come back.

"If he doesn't come back in like. . .45 minutes, I'll go and look for him," said Joey.

"Yeah, you'd better look for him. He didn't seem to be himself all day. It's not like him to wander off like that," said a worried Tea.

"I'll go with you Joey," volunteered Tristan.

"Thanks pal."

AsYugi slipped his deck in his coat pocket, a gray car pulled up a few blocks away from him. He wasn't paying any attention though. The car contained three people, all male.They started to get out of the car, and began walking right where he was sitting on a bench. Occasionally, Yugi would catch himself dozing off. Sometimes he'd forget where he was for a few seconds. He wasn't aware of the wind becoming stronger, and the temperature dropping every few minutes. One of the guys reached him and put his hand onYugi with such great force, that Yugi flinched a bit. He slowly turned his head around to stare at a face with lightning green eyes, and hair dyed the color indigo. Without hesitation, the guy made a demand.

"Turn out your pockets. . . NOW".

"Huh?" Yugi would of ran if he wasn't ill that day. The worst thing was yet to come when he faintly said "no"without thinking.

When the other guys caught up with their leader they asked,

"Did he obey your orders?" The man with a maniac look in his green eyes turned around to face them and shook his head. A few seconds after that, Yugi felt a punch hit his left side, and fell to the ground.

"Ten more minutes before we look for him," said Joey. "Maybe we'll luck out and he'll come back." He knew it wasn't gonna happen, but he thought he might as well think positive.

"It doesn't look so good outside guys," said Serenity. "I think you should leave right away."

"I agree." Right after Tea said that, she opened the door and shoved them out.

(I promise to finish more, but i was soooo excited on how far i got. Thats why I decided to post it earlier. let me know if there's anything I can improve on)
