Okay another chapter yippee. I like to thank Landi McClellan and Setolover-2151 for reviewing and I like to give a special thanks to setolover-2151 for adding this story to your favorites. Yea. I'm still trying to become a better writer but I know I need some work with specific things. However I will not fail! I'm really sorry setolover-2151 for leaving you with a cliffhanger for so long but don't despair cause it's here! This is chapter 2 (the real chapter) finally.
I do not own Yugioh and never will unless the author hands over the rights to me! Okay let's begin again.
Chapter Two: The Contents
(In waiting room)
"Ah. What's taking so long?" Joey asked slamming his fists onto the table in front of him.
"Maybe they got blown up like on that episode of Grey's Anatomy." Tristan wondered sitting down on the dark blue sofa.
"Tristan, Don't make accusations like that. Sure there are times where the government makes mistakes, but don't wish that upon them." Grandpa replied giving Tristan a stern look. He had been nervous since the government agent took the envelope away from Yugi and couldn't relax enough to sit. Instead he stood and paced around the room.
"Besides Tristan, Wouldn't we have heard an explosion if that happened?" Yugi asked.
"I guess you're right."
(big slam)
A soldier burst through the door gasping for breath. He was crouching and holding the door with one arm for support.
"Hey are you okay?" asked Joey rushing over to help. The others rushed over and led the tired soldier to the dark blue soda.
"Let him have some space, boys." said Grandpa looking down at the soldier.
(gasp) (gasp) "I (gasp) have orders (gasp) to get you three (gasp) to come with me." The soldier managed to get out before resting again.
"Was it a bomb?" Tristan asked getting right into the soldier's face.
"Tristan, give him a break here." Joey said pulling him away.
"We'll go with you as soon as you catch your breath." assured Yugi. It wasn't long til the soldier caught his breath and got up from the sofa. He stood up, placed his arm into a V, flattened his hand, and brought it to his head saluting them.
"I'm soldier two here to guide you three to our headquarters, and I…ugh." Frustrated by all the delay, Tristan seized soldier two's sleeves and brought him over so they were face to face. His oddly shaped hairstyle scraped the poor soldier's scalp and began digging in. Then he stated his question loud and clear.
"Was… it… a… bomb?"
"Your… hair… is…killing… me."
"Tristan, you are this close to me punching you." Joey shouted tired of Tristan's impatience.
"Now's not the time to fight." Grandpa shouted, but his words didn't reach. Joey got behind Tristan and used his arms like a lever to get him to let go. Yugi led the soldier away gently from Tristan's pointy hair. "Thank goodness and to answer your question." He faced Tristan being restrained by Joey. "It was not a bomb."
Joey dropped Tristan and leaped for joy. As Tristan rubbed his head, Grandpa and Yugi danced in a circle, cheering. Their cheers abruptly stopped when Soldier two reminded the three men to come with him. An argument sparked on why the grandfather couldn't go, but after a few minutes the grandpa assured Yugi that he would be okay staying in the room. With that the three followed the soldier out of the room. As they walked out of the room and out the door of the van, Yugi and Joey bombarded the soldier with many questions.
"I still don't understand, why only us? Couldn't my grandpa come?"
"I'm sorry, but like I said before if your grandpa were to come with us it might give him a heart attack."
"If it wasn't a bomb then what could be so horrible that you only allow us to see?" asked Joey.
"I didn't want to tell you so soon, but instead of a bomb we found some pictures."
"Pictures?"
"Yes Yugi, pictures. These pictures were sent by a fan that watches those duels you and Joey have, not by Mr. Kaiba as we suspected before."
"Darn it." Tristan whispered clenching his right fist into a ball. "I thought for sure it was him."
"Well it wasn't." soldier two replied. Apparently he had heard Tristan. He then faced Yugi once more. "We discovered a second envelope enclosed in the first. At first we thought there could have been drugs in it, so we opened it and discovered the pictures. We were going to give them to you, but we felt you needed to see them first."
"Why's that?" asked Tristan now interested in the conversation.
"Because after we show you these pictures we're not sure if you'll want them."
Joey, Tristan, and Yugi all had a look of fright. What could these pictures have on them? Their chance to turn back ended as they entered the other van. It had a lot of space for a van. Satellite dishes swirled and men and women in white lab coats ran amuck. As the boys looked in awe, the sound of footsteps approaching came towards them.
"Soldier One."
"Soldier two. It's nice to see you back. Are these the boys?"
"Yes sir and they've already been debriefed. Uh I mean told."
"Ugh. Don't say anything that'll make me remember that sight. It took eight 28 oz cups of coffee and three medical pills to take that image away."
"Sorry sir."
"The rest of the soldiers are still recovering, you jack (beep)." He pointed to where the other soldiers' numbers three-six were in the fetal position. All of them mumbling and looking terrified.
"My eyes. My eyes."
"Never again. Don't make me see it again!"
"Mommy. I need my mommy."
"Someone help me! They're everywhere. Everywhere!"
The boys put on strange faces looking at the frightened soldier. They turned their direction on the two soldiers in front of them, and Joey and Tristan started whispering to each other.
"Hey Joey, what do you suppose that was about?"
"I don't know Tristan. Maybe you should wait."
"Boys sorry to interrupt, but I need to ask you an important question." Soldier one stated.
(All giving their okays and sures)
"Are any of you three by chance um…(under breath) how should I put this without any insult? Uh well are any of you straight?"
"Straight, you mean my posture?" asked Joey. "Well I do slouch sometimes when eating, but…"
"I don't mean your posture!" he yelled. (calming down) "Sorry, it's been a rough day. Oh I'll just cut to the chase. Are you guys gay?"
"WHAT!" Their reaction could be heard throughout the entire van. Scientists and other soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked at the shocked, angry teens. Joey and Tristan ganged up on the soldier and started demanding who would suggest that and why he ask that. A certain pharaoh, who had been resting in his puzzle all that time, heard the accusation and step forward,
"YUGIOH!"
The crowd gasped as the transformation of Yugi went from normal to Pharaoh.
"I can assure you that I'm not gay and certainly not my friends."
A scientist said, "Amazing. Double personalities."
"What a light show. Can you teach me how to do that?" asked soldier four begging the pharaoh.
"Hey soldier guy or whatever. Can we go back as to why you accused us of being gay?" Joey stated grabbing soldier one's shirt fist ready to punch.
"Oh right, right." He took out five pieces of paper that for some strange reason turned into photographs. Joey let the soldier go and he, Tristan, and Joey looked at the pictures turned photos.
The first one was in the setting of a park. A park bench was located near the bottom center of the picture. A silver sidewalk lay on the ground, and a huge tree with red and brown leaves. Two people were in the picture looking glad and smiling. It was Yugi (normal) and Joey. Yugi wearing a red scarf, brown jacket, blue jeans, and red mittens; and Joey wearing a dark blue scarf, brown jacket, and light blue jeans. Autumn leaves surrounded the two as by the looks of it, Joey chased Yugi through the park.
"So this is what you two do when I'm not around." Tristan joked.
"Can it."
"Yugi do you remember doing this with Joey."
"No."
And I don't either," replied Joey. "But hey." He turned his direction to the soldiers cowering in fear, "This is why you thought we were gay?" He waved the photo in the air.
"Look at the others, then you'll see." Soldier four pointed to the pictures and then went back to cowering. Joey flipped to the second page. The place appeared to be a shooting practice like the ones they have in police training. In the center of the picture, Joey wore the standard headphones and held a .45 semi-automatic handgun ready to fire. He wore his green jacket with white T-shirt and light blue jeans. He had a serious look on his face. Behind him, Tristan had his right hand on Joey's right shoulder and his left hand was pointing at a target that looked like the logo that Target the store uses. He was wearing his brown jacket, white T-shirt, and blue jeans. He also had the headphones and his expression was a "You can do it smile."
Again the three could look on and wonder why these soldiers were so scared. It did make them wonder how they couldn't remember these events.
"Tristan, Do you remember taking me to shooting practice?"
"No. I don't even know where this photo came from."
"Let's move on to the next one." The pharaoh suggested.
"NO!" the soldiers shouted, but it was too late. Joey flipped to the next one and boy did their eyes bulge. The pharaoh's jaw dropped and he started mumbling for this picture had him in it, but it wasn't pretty. The setting appeared to be a room where they have those sliding doors. On the far left lay a brown table but the photo only showed it having two legs. Half of a box and a book being diagonally placed on top of it were shown. In the center of the drawing the pharaoh wore his black sleeveless shirt and black leather jeans. He faced to the left and his eyes were closed. To his left was Yugi wearing the same outfit, closing his eyes as well. What they were doing was another story. His arms circled around the pharaoh's neck as the pharaoh caressed his lips to Yugi's neck causing him to react. His left hand placed itself on Yugi's hip, sliding his sleeveless shirt upward ready to remove it. Joey and Tristan looked at the shocked pharaoh with utmost disgust.
"I knew something was going on with you two!" Tristan exclaimed backing away from the accused pedophile.
"Pharaoh. What is it? What's going on?"
"No, Yugi. Stay there!"
"Give us Yugi back you bastard." After that Tristan jumped and grabbed the pharaoh shaking him violently. Joey went for him and punched him straight in the jaw. "Pharaoh we trusted you and you do this kind of thing to Yugi?" asked Joey having tears in his eyes. "And you're what 3,000 or something years old that's sick." He gave another punch then backed away. Tristan releasing it wasn't going to work backed off. Both had angry looks on their faces. The pharaoh regained his posture and stood to face them for his defense.
"You two know I would never do that with Yugi. We might have hugged and said a few things that were personal but nothing like this."
"Oh yeah then what does this picture show you?"
"I'm not going to answer that, Joey because you know I would never do that."
"Sorry to interrupt the fight, but I think only Joey should look at the next one," said soldier three.
"Why?" asked Joey with a nervous tone in his voice.
"Because this next one has you in it and believe me I think someone is trying to blackmail you three."
(Gulp) "Okay. A little picture not gonna scare me." Joey walked away from the pharaoh and grabbed the pile of photos. He flipped to the next one and no one could describe the horror and anger in Joey's voice. "WHAT! I NEVER DID THAT WITH KAIBA!"
With the word 'Kaiba' Pharaoh and Tristan just couldn't resist. They dropped their argument for a while and went over.
"Joey what's the matter?" asked Tristan calmly.
"No stay back. I don't want you to see this." He pressed the photo close to his chest.
"Joey, we made an agreement sort of when we came in here to face what was in that package. Now it couldn't be worse than mine."
"Oh it is pharaoh it is."
"Then let's see it."
"No Tristan."
Tired of Joey's disagreement the two lunged at Joey and fought for the illicit photo. After a brief struggle, Tristan ran off photo in hand with the pharaoh close behind.
"Ha I got it." Tristan shouted in triumph. "Now let's see what this is a--"
"NO!"
This picture took a whole other route from the other. Most of the photo had a white wall and brown flooring on the bottom, but the center was the focus point. There was Seto or Kaiba as they called him, sitting up with a red blanket with a white lining across his lap. He looked like he was crying with his right arm curved across his waist with his head pointing downward and his eyes closed with sadness. His left leg perched up and his right lay flat. To his left was Joey seeming trying to comfort him. He too was under the blanket wrapping his right arm around Kaiba's waist and his left hand rubbing his hair. It would have looked sweet, but awkward if it hadn't been for the fact that Kaiba was sitting on Joey's lap, that they were half naked; although looking more carefully they realized they were wrong, as first of all Kaiba's legs had no pants, and how a fraction of Joey's behind showed in the photo. Joey fell in defeat hoping that no one especially his poor sis saw that. Pharaoh, Tristan, and Yugi who turned into a spirit wanting to know what was going on, went to comfort Joey not knowing what to say. Then Tristan asked.
"Uh…you okay?"
"Okay. You have the nerve to look at that and ask me if I'm okay."
"Well…I--"
"If it weren't for that stupid envelope I wouldn't be in this mess!" He ran for the photos and grabbed the ominous one of him with Seto. He pulled and tried to rip the golly-forsaken photo to bits but it wouldn't even tear.
"What's up with this photo? It won't rip."
"It can't be destroyed," said soldier three. "We tried fire, scissors, water, a laser beam, even chemical toxic waste. Those photos are indestructible."
"So what you're saying is, is that we can't get rid of these no matter what, right?"
"That's what I'm saying."
Joey clenched the photo tightly and then threw it cursing loudly. Then he ran up to soldier three.
"Did anyone other than you see these pictures?"
"Who knows? All we know is that fan girl wanted to warn you about these photos. I'm kind of glad we found out about them."
"Yeah."
"I'm afraid to ask but what's in the last photo?" asked Yugi now back in his body.
The soldiers looked at the boy and screamed their warnings. "Don't you dare see that one." Soldier four cried out. "That's the one that made us like this!"
During the commotion a soldier codename six came rushing in. He stopped in front of soldier one and his expression was not good.
"Soldier six, reporting sir."
"What is it, soldier six?"
"We just got an emergency call coming from the Kaiba mansion."
"Don't tell me…"
"Yep, he got one too."
All details here on these drawings are in this order. The first two were ideas I had in my head. Real people drew the third and fourth ones. Lizeth drew the third one YugixYami; and the SetoxJoey was drawn by shadowivy. I don't know them but both real ones can be found on as drawings. Sorry for not getting to the last photo but I typed for ages. Six hours trying to get this chapter up and researching. Now I may mind some yaoi, but try looking through thousands to get the ones you want and some were pretty bad. Well hope you enjoy this chapter and Please review.
