Chap 4- Two New Cards
Jou woke up to see a worried Yugi hovering over his face.
"You ok?" Yugi asked quietly.
"Tastes like I just ate bloodied meat." Jou stuck his tongue out to show his disgust.
"You passed out after coughing up a lot of blood. Thankfully Yami and Seth were able to prevent you from drowning. Yugi pointed to the other side of the room. Jou peaked over his tiny friends shoulder to see a relived Yami and a disgruntled Seto Kaiba.
"Thanks Yami and Kaiba, could you tell Seth that I said thanks as well."
"He got it." Seto grumbled back.
"Can you tell us what happened? Yami said you got sucked into the shadow realm." Yugi gave a questioning look.
"As all of you know that when ever Seth is around me when I am sleeping I get flashbacks of my past life. And I prefer not to have to explain this particular memory." Jou blushed giving a glare at Seto.
"I have no control over that mutt." Seto glared back.
"After that part what did you see when you where taken into the shadow realm?" Yami spoke up.
"When the flashback ended I was in the warehouse again. I was interacting with Ankari."
"Ankari?" Seto questioned.
"You were able to interact with her?" Yami went into his withdrawal thinking mode.
"Yes. She gave me two cards and said to run. When I tried to bring her back with me she panicked. Then I woke up."
"You mean these cards?" Yugi held up the two cards Jou was previously holding.
"I guess so. I never got a chance to actually look at them." Jou took a hold of the cards and looked at each carefully. The actual monsters looked to be identical female twins. The first one that caught his eye was The Angel of Death. The card picture showed her standing on a rock with her glaive raised to the air. Her dark purple spaghetti strap dress flowed with the wind making the ruffles in the dress show off bits of her black heels. Grey purple eyes flashed dangerously as lightning illuminated her straight raven hair. The one and only odd aspect of the cards was there were no attack or defense points. It showed nothing but dash lines. The annoying thing about this card was to use her attacks you had to use them with another attack. And all the attacks Jou never heard of. Putting that card aside he looked at the sister card now, the Angle of Life. Her card picture was no were near as dramatic as the other card. She was sitting in a grass field her hands glowing a pale blue around a blooming flower. A pearl version of the other cards staff lay beside her along with silver heels. Her dress was in the same style except the color was a pure white, standing out from the dark green grass. Chin length silver hair covered one of her lake blue eyes that seemed to dazzle in excitement. She also had no attack power or defense power and her attacks relied on other attacks. Then it clicked in Jou's head. To use one of the cards to needed the other card, they where true sisters. When ever the Angel of Death drained something the Angel of Life put that life force into another thing.
"Neither one has an attack or defense power." Jou looked up from the cards to Yami.
"I've never heard of such cards." Yami walked over and politely asked to see the cards. Jou handed them over and waited for Yami's answer.
"They have more spell card characteristics then monster card characteristics." Yugi pointed out Z he gazed over Yami's arm.
"And they depend off of one another. You can't seem to use one of the cards attacks without the other cards." Yami spoke in a low voice analyzing the cards.
"There are no such cards." Seto spoke up listening to their conversation.
"There are now." Yami walked over and showed Seto the cards.
"How do we know that they're not imitation?"
"I sense a great shadow magic from them."
"That's hardly anything to go by." Seto huffed leaning back against the wall. Yami let out a soft growl before handing Jou back his cards.
"I think this is what those men are looking for." Jou voiced as ideas started clicking in his head.
"What makes you think that?" Yugi asked curiously.
"Everything I have ever heard them say was referring to a plural object. There are two cards."
"And it would explain why she was so desperate to give you them before the men came in." Yami's thinking mode was full blown.
"That means people will be after Jou!" Yugi panicked.
"Normality is broken. People are going after the mutt instead of the hunk of gold." Seto muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Jou growled.
"It seems as if they don't know that Jou has the cards. What do you think Kaiba?" Yami gave him a stern look.
"I don't care. It doesn't involve me." Seto gave a look as cold as his words.
"It will. You have the senen rod. Not to mention a yami that is infatuated with Jou and his well being." Yami had his victory smirk as Seto just gave a murderous glare.
"This is taking up to much of my time. Good day." Seto walked out the door, trench coat dramatically floating behind him.
"Seth isn't gonna happy." Yugi muttered in a sing song voice.
"I am going to have to have a talk with him soon." Yami whispered to himself. All watched from the store window as Seto walked by twitching all the way.
"Nope Seth's pissed." Jou sweat dropped.
"I need to get back to the shop. You stay here and rest." Yugi hopped down from the living room couch and made his way to the store front.
"Keep the cards in your deck for now." Yami also left, following Yugi to the front. Doing as instructed Jou made his way up to his room. He put the cards in the middle of his deck before going to sleep.
"Tell us where they are! I know you have those cards!" The same man from before yelled, throwing a bottle at Ankari. Thankfully she dodged in time as the bottle smashed on the crate.
"We've been going easy on you darling. Tell us where the cards are and we will let you go." The taller of the two men in there picked her up by the collar of her shirt. She gave a mocking I-don't-know shrug before kicking him in the groin. Instantly his face turned blue and dropped the girl. She gave a victorious smirk as the man limped out.
"We have other ways." The shorter man kicked Ankari the in the gut before following his comrade out. Ankari crouched down holding her stomach as she cried in pain.
Me- Man I am cruel to this little girl.
I- And what ever did she do to you?
Me- Ummm…become a story arch that gets beat up a lot.
I- You are just so kind to them aren't you.
Me- Yes I am!
Myself- I don't think she meant that in a good way.
Me- I don't care after all I am the author of this story!
Myself- What ever you say fearless leader.
Me- And I shall lead without fear! ::spider comes crawling by:: AHHHHHHHHH!!! ::squishes spider with lamp post of inevitable pain::
Myself- O.O
I- I think that was a little overboard...
Me- Ok so I am more of the fearful violent type of leader.
Myself- O.O...
Me- What! It was a reflex!
Myself- Where did you get that lamp post first of all?
Me- At Lamp Posts R' Us
Myself- I suddenly know fear.
I- ::peels off spider from ground with a spatula and sticks the mutilated arachnid in a shoe box:: I am going to give it a proper burial! ::walks off to bury it in the back yard with all her other pets::
Me- You going to it?
Myself- Never in a million years. I hate spiders.
Me- Now that, that little problem has been cleared up please R&R.
Myself- And we want about 4 reviews before going to the nest chap!
All- Byes!
