Title: Two for One
Chapter 9: Honda's Stupidity
Warning: Blahdy, blahdy, blahdy blah! You know the deal by now so I don't think I have to repeat myself over and over again! It gets rather annoying after a while, ya know!
Disclaimer: Since I am forced to do this one I have to say that I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! So don't sue me or anything!
A/N:
For some reason I really don't wanna talk about Otogi and Honda, I don't wanna write about a duel right now so puhy, I might write about it later was what I was thinking but then realized that their duel was essential in the story so I have to write it so he ya go!
(I lied this is about Mokuba and Seto! Hahaha)…(ha)
"Ni-sama…" Seto grasped Mokuba's hand tighter as they walked through the orphanage he and Mokuba had grown up in.
"Don't worry Mokuba, it's just an illusion." Although he knew this for a fact, the detail put into the orphanage were so strong it was hard to believe it.
Seto saw a younger version of himself through one of the building's windows and sighed. The care-free expressions on both Mokuba's and his own faces just served as a reminder of how badly he had lost to Gozaburo.
Mokuba sniffed next to him, it seemed that the scene was affecting him more than Seto but the feeling became mutual as Gozaburo stepped into view, the head of the orphanage trailing close behind him. Children were following the CEO in the hopes they would get more presents from the corporate leader. When the old man failed to present anymore gifts, the children slowly scattered and went back to their business.
"Excuse me sir," neither Seto nor Mokuba had noticed that the younger Seto had swiftly moved in front of Gozaburo.
"Yes…?" Gozaburo's face had twisted in disgust at being addressed directly by some little brat.
"I want you to adopt me and my brother." Younger Seto's face was fierce with determination and he stared intently at the older man.
"What did you say?"
"I want you to adopt me and my brother." Seto repeated coolly. "Of course, there would be some conditions. You have to adopt us only if I can beat you in a chess game."
Gozaburo looked surprised for a second then smirked. "You do know that I am the world champion at chess, do you not?" Seto gave a brief nod. "Very well, I accept your proposal."
Older Seto turned away from the scene and started walking away until he realized Mokuba wasn't following him. They boy was staring at the window, nose pressed into the glass as he soaked up every move of the chess match in front of him. There were tears streaming down his cheeks and the glass was fogging as he breathed deeply.
"Mokuba…" Seto reached out a hand to grab the teens shoulder but his brother twisted away before he could reach.
"Why couldn't we have stayed like that Ni-sama! I want to go back to when Ni-sama actually smiled!" Mokuba screamed. He ran towards the door leading to younger Seto and yanked it open. He stepped through and felt his stomach drop out from under him.The boy only had time to let out a squeak before he was hurtling off a cliff. A hand latched onto his, stopping his decline into oblivion.
"Mokuba!" Seto grunted as he tried to pull his younger brother up. After a long struggle he finally managed to pull Mokuba over the side of the cliff. "Are you okay?" He panted , looking over at his small brother.
"H-hai…" Mokuba looked over the cliff and gulped, it was a long way down. "Thank you, Ni-sama."
Seto gave another grunt, "Well, come on then." He turned on his heel and began walking away. "Mokuba… Don't forget to live in the now, you never know what the future has in store for you…"
Kou stood for a second, grasping the full meaning of Seto's words.
"Wow Seto-kun, that was really deep." He smiled brightly and trotted of after his 'brother'.
Otogi groaned as he and Honda passed down another hallway. "Does this never end!"
"Calm down Otogi, I'm sure it'll be over soon." Honda said good-naturedly.
Otogi growled and glared at the other, "That's what you said an hour ago!"
Honda shrugged and glanced down the hallway. "You're right though; this hall never seems to end, does it?"
They looked at each other and sighed in unison, decided they could do nothing else, and the two of them continued walking.
"I give up!" Otogi shouted as he passed by a huge armored statue.
"Yeah! We've really been walking for too long!" Honda looked at the statue for a moment, then back at Otogi. "Hey…"
"Yeah…" They both took hold of the armored statue's ax at the same time, pulling it out of the statue's grasp.
"You have this one, I'll find another one." Honda let his hands slip off the ax and ran down the hall to find another one while Otogi began to pound the wall.
Honda cam back with another ax and joined Otogi in the vigorous pounding. The axe's were beginning to start sparks and Honda had to briefly stop and cover a fire that had started.
After what seemed like hours, the two of them struck gold and light filled the hallway. They gave one last synchronized smack before the wall crumbled before them.
"Yes!" They yelled together, jumping up and high-fiving. They ran out into the sunshine and found a bright lake in front of them.
They set out for the woods surrounding the lake, coming up on a small abandoned shed.
"What do you think?" Otogi whispered.
"I think we should check it out…You?"
"Agreed." Otogi snuck up to the door, Honda close behind. He pushed the door lightly and it fell over with a loud thunk.
"Smoothhhh." Honda snickered. He pushed Otogi to the side and walked into the room in his stead. The room was dark and he tried to find a light switch on the wall, but failed. He gave Otogi a slight nudge, "I guess we're snuck in the dark."
"It's fine, as long as we can get out of this stupid wood."
They crept along in the dark until they reach another door. "Your turn, Honda." Otogi gave Honda a small push and the other teen shoved the door open.
They were met by a large dimly lit room, something metallic standing in the center. Suddenly a spotlight appeared on the metal something in the room, making it gleam. It turned up to be a robot.
Otogi lurked forward, eyeing the robot suspiciously. He poked it and it started rumbling. The raven-haired teen gasped and shot away as the robot's bright yellow eyes glowed.
"Who will be my opponent?" It rumbled in a deep robotic voice.
"It talked!" Honda and Otogi screeched, grabbing onto each other.
"I am Nesbitt, the former Vice President of New Technology at Kaiba Corporation, now taking the form of Robotic Knight."
"It's one of the Big Five!" Honda whispered harshly.
"I know, you idiot!" Otogi replied in an equally quiet voice.
"I repeat, who will be my opponent?"
"I will!" They both shouted at the same time, then glared at each other.
"I'm the better duelist!" Otogi growled.
"But I'm…uh…I'm… smarter!"
"No you're not! That settles it, I'm dueling." Otogi smirked.
"No me!"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Stop! I will settle this, you may both duel me." Robotic Knight said. "Choose a monster for your deck master, please."
"I choose Strike Ninja!" Otogi snorted and his choosen card digitized into excistance.
"And I choose Super Roboyarou!" Honda yelled his monster appearing as well.
"I am obviously Robotic Knight and you have already made a serious mistake." Robotic Knight's eyes gleamed brightly.
"What do you mean…?" Honda asked hesitantly.
"I am Robotic Knight, therefore I control all robot monsters and last time I checked Super Roboyarou is a robot type monster."
"Oh shit, he's right…" Otogi frowned, a sense of dread seeping through him.
"That means that your friend is now on my side, under my control." The robot snapped his fingers and Honda's feet began to move on their own.
"What! What's going on!" He was now standing next to Nesbitt and his monster's eyes had turned red.
"Now you have to face both me and your lovely friend." Nesbitt traced his fingers over Honda's cheek, making the brunette shiver in disgust.
"Get away from him!" Otogi glared as a sudden burst of jealousy shot through him.
"Oh, feisty…" Nesbitt giggled insanely.
"Shut up! I place Angel Dice and Demon Dice on the field. Activate trap!" Otogi growled. The dice rolled with the angel dice landing on 1 and the demon dice landing on 3. He could now easily take out Honda's monster, but what would happen to his uni-spiked friend.
"I know what you're thinking, Oh what will happen to my poor friend if I attack! Well the answer is that he will lose!"
"Don't listen to him Otogi, attack!" Otogi didn't know what to do, he could attack and destroy both monsters or he could give up and lose his own body in Honda's place.
Otogi never got a chance to make this decision because Honda started yelling orders at his own monster. "Super Roboyarou, attack Otogi's monster, now!"
"What are you doing? You are too weak to face him!" Nesbitt shouted as Super Roboyarou soared straight into his doom.
"I don't care, as long as I take you with me!" Honda latched onto Nesbitt just as Strike Ninja dealt the fatal blow to Honda's monster. It shattered into oblivion along with Robotic Knight.
There was a bright light, blinding Otogi for a moment. When the light finally faded the only thing left on the other side of the field was Honda. He stood with his head down and his arms limp. (Imagine the position Joey was in right before he fainted during his duel with Marik)
"Honda…?" He inched forward, reaching out a hand to shake Honda's shoulder.
"Not quite." Honda shot his hand out and grabbed Otogi's wrist. The uni-spiked teen dragged Otogi to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Otogi gasped as the Not-Honda kneed his stomach. The raven-haired teen grunted and shut his eyes tightly. "S-stop!"
The doors that the two of them had come through originally slammed open again and Yugi and Joey ran through, both gasping. When they spotted Otogi on the floor with Honda groaning above him, they defiantly got some wrong impressions. That was until they saw tears in the corner of Otogi's eyes.
"Hey Honda, get off him!" Joey grabbed Honda's shoulder and tried to lift him off Otogi, but the would-be-Honda's grip was too strong to break.
"Honda-kun! Please get off him!" Yugi ran up and shoved Not-Honda as hard as he could, sending the brunette flying off Otogi.
"T-that's not Honda!" Otogi spluttered holding his stomach.
Not-Honda smirked, showing fangs. "You better be ready…"
"I think it would be best if we ran now!" Yugi squeaked. He grabbed Otogi and Joey's hand and started running away as fast as their legs could carry them, Nesbitt close behind.
They were running blindly through the factory or warehouse or whatever it was as fast as they could. Yugi pushed another door open and stepped through, coming face to face with Tea.
"Tea?" He squeaked.
"Yugi? Joey? Otogi? Honda?" Tea blinked slowly. "You look different Honda."
The three boys froze and slowly turned around. Honda was standing behind them with a maniac look in his eye.
"That's not Honda, Tea!" They grabbed her hand as well and took off, finding Shizuka a few feet away. The five of them were running, Shizuka spluttering objections at the back of the group.
They finally made it out of the warehouse and found themselves in a junk yard.
"Quick, we can hide in there." Tea was pointing to a dumpster and they all grimaced but climbed in.
Nesbitt came strutting out of the warehouse and looked around, "Here little ducklings, come out, come out…"
"Man, I'm so nervous." Joey hissed. "And I don't even know why…I mean this is Honda we're talking about."
"Yeah…"
Their eyes widened as two figures appeared in the alleyway leading to the junkyard. They knew that Nesbitt saw it too.
"Honda?" One of the figures asked loudly.
"I know that voice!" Otogi whispered. "It's Kaiba!"
"Oh shit!" Joey cursed. He lifted the lid of the dumpster and jumped out. "Kaiba watch out! That's not Honda!"
Not-Honda, who had been walking towards Seto and Mokuba with a pipe behind his back, suddenly turned and wildly swung at Joey. He ducked down avoiding the pipe and made a mad dash towards the CEO.
Not-Honda grabbed the end of Joey's school uniform and pulled him back swiftly. Yugi followed Joey's example and shoved out of the trash. Tea and Shizuka pulled the top open and leaped out as well dragging Otogi along.
"Let go of him!" Yugi screech, his voice raising an octave.
"Why? You have no control over what I do! I'm finally free; it's time to get out of this shit hole!" Nesbitt threw his head back and laughed. He grabbed a fist full of Joey's hair and tossed him into the wall, right next to Seto and Mokuba. The CEO's little brother reached down and helped the teen up.
"What is going on?" Seto exclaimed.
Nesbitt was still laughing, until he spotted Mokuba. "How the hell did you escape?"
Mokuba's eyes widened and he began to back away from Not-Honda.
"I thought you were stuck with that spoiled brat…" Nesbitt looked him over top to bottom, "Who are you?" Nesbitt's eyes narrowed.
Everyone's attention automatically centered on Mokuba, who had started backing away from Seto and Joey slowly. "Uh…Um…It's, like…Well… Shit! I can't do anything right, can I!" He started stomping around. "I was given one job, one, and I mess it up!"
""If you're not Mokuba then who are you and where is the really Mokuba?" Joey yelled, annoyed that he had been helped by some kind of imposter.
"It's me, Kou; I'm just spruced up to look like Ku-chan! See, I even have the clothes and eyes color." Kou said, turning in a small circle so everyone could see every angle of him.
"Ku-chan?" Tea asked.
"Mokuba-kun, I guess you would call him." Kou smiled brightly.
"Does that mean you originally looked like Ku-I mean Mokuba?" Yugi asked, quite confused by now.
"Yeah, it does!" Kou grinned at Yugi. He was so focused on Yugi and his friends that he didn't notice Not-Honda sneaking behind him until a strong metal pipe came crashing down on his head, knocking him unconscious.
