Master Thief Yami Yuugi
Chapter 4: Meet Prince Seto
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh.
We find our heroine, no, not the drug heroine, having a glass of juice with the old man from the shop she bought her clothes from. Okay, sure it is kinda weird that Anzu is hanging out with an old man, but hey, in this story, nothing is too weird.
"The thief use to be a common boy…And I mean common! You know how common those common Duel Monster cards are? Well he was that common! Anyway, he was a boy from this kingdom." The old man started to tell the story Anzu had been waiting to hear ever since he told her he would tell her.
"...One day a mysterious figure wearing a cloak handed Yuugi a golden box. However, this box was nothing ordinary. It had many golden pieces inside!" He filled his words with emotion as he spoke. It seemed this guy was a very good story teller. He sat on the chair across from Anzu.
"It was a puzzle. Yuugi was amazed by it. He wanted to solve it and see what it would look like and what would happen." He took a sip from his drink.
"Oh wow. So the puzzle gave him the powers to be a great thief?" She asked.
"Oh ho ho ho...Now, now, I'm not finished; if you keep listening you'll be surprised about what it actually is." He chuckled.
"Mm."
"Everyone objected to the idea of him solving it. The legend says that in the golden box, a demon is inside! If the all the pieces are brought together the demon will arise and take over the first body he see's..." His voice was very serious now.
"...The moment Yuugi put on the completed pendant the demon took over his body and has been controlling him ever since." He finished. Wow, wasn't that an interesting story? Let's all clap for the old man. He is such a great story teller!
"Wow..." Anzu was in shock. She was shocked and I mean shocked!
"So that's why he wouldn't take it off when he took a bath..." Anzu thought aloud.
"What?!" The old man shrieked.
"No! No! I said so that's why he never takes it off!" She quickly added. Phew, what a close one.
"Oh. Alright then." He smiled at her.
"Seize him!!" A shout from all the way outside could be heard in the small not so nice decorated kitchen Anzu and the old man were in.
"What?!" The shout took Anzu by surprise. The first thing that popped into her head when she heard the male voice was; Yami Yuugi was in trouble.
"I told you, I am not going to waste my time listening to you." Yami Yuugi replied in a quiet and calm way. No matter what, he would never take orders from anyone. Pretty stubborn? Maybe. A total ass? Yes.
"What's going on?!" Anzu rushed to aid her friend.
"Nothing important." Yami Yuugi brushed off the fact that the guards of the Kaiba kingdom were coming closer to him by the second.
"Fuck you!" A guard shouted as he swung his axe mercilessly at Yami Yuugi. It sliced the cloak the thief was wearing in half with ease, but Yami Yuugi was no where to be found.
"What the?!"
"Behind you, fool." Sneered Yami Yuugi. He was standing proudly on the roof of a shop that was behind the guards. His cloak was gone, meaning he had exposed his true self to the public in the daylight. But, hey, it's okay. This is the greatest thief after all, he can get his ass outta anything.
"It's the legendary thief, Yami Yuugi!!" A woman shrieked out. Then she screamed some more. And then some more. Looks like she was either really freaked out Yami Yuugi was in front of her or she thought he was just plain ugly.
"He's come to kill us all!" A man shouted. Everyone in the village began to panic from the sight of the almighty Yami Yuugi.
"Anzu, meet me at the royal Kaiba castle, I'm going to take back what's mine." And with that said, Yami Yuugi bolted off, just jumping roof top to roof top as if he was hopping over sidewalk cracks.
"Yuugi! Wait!" Anzu called out. Now that was a cliché. How many times has the main character ditched his friend or group and told them to meet up with him as soon as they could?
"So you are with the thief? That must mean we should execute you as well!" The commanding guard pointed at Anzu. "Seize her!"
"Shit!" Like she had just seen a dog with rabies with blood shot red eyes that looked like it was ready to kill at any moment, Anzu darted up the road to the castle owned by the Kaiba family. Run, Anzu! Run!
"There he goes..." The old man whispered to himself while standing next to the entrance of his shop. He then looked at the picture that he held in his hand. It was a picture of him with a young boy with blonde bangs with spiky black and a bit of magenta hair.
"Yuugi..."
-
Sure I could go into details on how long it took for Anzu and Yami Yuugi to get to the Kaiba castle, but that would be boring and a waste of time. Plus, my fingers would get tired. Well, probably not...Shut up! So, for the sake of all my fingers, that actually would probably not get tired, I'll just skip to the part of them getting to the Kaiba castle.
They arrived on top of the castle.
"Phew! That made me so tired!" Yami Yuugi gasped for breath as he held on to the spot of his chest where he heart was located. He was very exhausted.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I carried you up here for most of the time!" Anzu yelled.
"Well it was exhausting for me to keep telling you to go faster. These things take a lot of energy, Ichigo."
"My name is ANZU!!" She screamed into his ear. How annoying would it be for someone to keep calling you a name that wasn't yours? I would get pretty pissed after the second time.
"Alright, alright, sheesh!" Yami Yuugi then began to clean his ears out.
"So what did you want to take back from the Kaiba family?" Anzu asked, out of curiosity.
"An item that has great value to me was taken while I was away. I will not stop at getting it back." He looked at his boots, trying to hide his anger that was boiling up inside.
"Will you help me?"
"Of course! Let's go!" Anzu announced as she headed with her head held high to the stairs that lead to the inside of the castle.
"Doesn't it just make you wonder why there just happened to not be any guards on the roof?" Yami Yuugi asked Anzu as they ran. Pretty fishy if you ask me.
"They were conveniently not there?" Guessed Anzu.
"...Or they were all just waiting down here for you." A man chuckled evilly.
They had arrived in a round large room. Right in front of our heroes stood a tall young man with brown hair. He was dressed like a prince. All royal like. Oh, did I mention the huge amount of guards behind the young man? Well, there were a huge amount of guards right behind the young man.
"We meet again, demon." The young man spat in a rude way.
"What? Still sad that I demolished your kingdom and tarnished your families' good reputation not too long ago?" Yami Yuugi retorted.
The young man gritted his teeth. "Now, now. I've gotten over being furious over what you did. The only thing I desire now is revenge." He smirked. It was a kind of spooky smirk. All evil like and 'I want to see your body lifeless and mutilated' smirk.
"Don't lie, I can see the anger in your eyes." Yami Yuugi smiled. A smile that was smartass looking like.
"Oh, who's the young woman with you? A hostage I assume? Or just a companion of yours? She looks familiar to me." He asked the thief.
"This is my new partner, Anzusa." He pointed to Anzu.
"My name is ANZU!!" Steam came out of Anzu's ears while her face was bright red.
"Wait...Anzu? ...I know who you are!" The brunette haired young man's eyes widened in shock. "You are that missing princess from the kingdom of Maza! What the hell are you doing with that trash?!"
"Hey! I am not trash!" Yami Yuugi clenched his teeth and curled up his hands into fists. "I may sometimes smell bad, but never that bad!"
"Who is that man....I think I know but I can't put my finger on it..." Anzu whispered to herself. She was obviously thinking. To those of you who didn't know she was thinking; I shake my head in disgust.
Because Anzu's voice volume was loud enough for all of them to hear, the young man replied to her question;
"Who I am you ask?! Who I am you ask?! Don't you remember me?! When we were children my family would come to your kingdom and we would play outside together; I am the great prince Seto Kaiba!" Now just add special effects in the background and everything will be all set. Sheesh, this guy is full of it. But then again, don't we just love all those bastards who act like they are the best?
"Ohh...I remember you...You're that boy who would pick his nose." Anzu made a sour face in disgust from remembering the horrible memory of seeing Seto pick his nose as a boy.
"Hey! I'm way past that phase!" Now his face was bright red with veins sticking out of his forehead.
"Eww...You picked your nose as a kid! I've done some pretty weird stuff, but that tops it!" The thief pointed at Seto. Before anyone knew it, and before Yami Yuugi even knew it, he was on the floor rolling from laughter.
"Shut up!" Seto drew his sword. "I've been waiting for the day to take your life with my most treasured weapon. Prepare for battle, demon."
"What about me?" Anzu pointed innocently to herself.
"You? I'll have my guards escort you back to your kingdom." He glared at her.
"No way! I'm not going back! Not a chance!" Anzu drew her sword to defend her self. She was ready to take on anybody, anywhere, anytime to keep herself from leaving back to the last place she ever wanted to go.
"Well, then you leave me no choice." He motioned his guards. Did they have some secret motion code language stuff or something?
"You then are going to have to fight all the guards in this room." Seto stepped to the side so he would not get in the way of the guards behind him.
"You can't do that! That's not fair! The odds are stacked against her!" Yami Yuugi shouted.
"If I were you I would worry about my own self right now." He grinned like an evil monster as he attempted to strike Yami Yuugi with his sword but the thief barely moved below.
The battle had begun.
To Be Continued
I didn't get any reviews for chapter three, sadly. Please review, I need to know how well I am doing.
