He ran down the street to an ally where there were two figures. One was a tall man, hovering over a small boy who was on the ground; the man picked up a sword and pulled off a leg from the younger boy. The boy was Yugi Mutou.
Chapter 2: Killer.
'Yugi?' Seto thought as he saw the young boy fall down, the murderer lifted the knife and in seconds, sliced off the rest of his limbs. Yugi screamed in pain, his blood spilt everywhere. 'Yugi…' Seto thought, clenching his fist. He never heard someone scream like that, he hated it so much.
The murderer lifted the sword chuckling, "good bye, little boy." He said bringing it down. Before Seto realized it, his arms were around the murderer's neck and the sword was on the ground next to him. "What the-!" was all the man could get out before he was on the round.
"Get out of my sight, now!" Seto said fiercely, grabbing the guy's wrist and breaking it easily. The murderer got up and ran off. Seto turned and faced Yugi, walking over and leaning toward him, picking up the unconscious and limbless boy and wrapped him with his coat to soak the blood and stop the bleeding.
"Guys, I think I heard Yugi over hear." A voice was heard causing Seto to look up to see who it was. Joey appeared at the corner seconds later. "Kaiba, what the fuck!" Joey yelled and ran over to Yugi, who was unconscious. Seto just started walking out of the alley and away from them, Yugi still in his arms. Tea screamed as she saw Yugi's chopped up body in Seto's arms. He passed them and they, obviously, followed him.
"SPILL IT RICH BOY! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YUGI?" Joey yelled at Seto, grabbing his shirt and pinning him against a wall. They just got to the hospital and Yugi was now unconscious on a hospital bed. Seto remained quiet. "WELL SAY SOMETHING RICH BOY!" Joey yelled, tightening his grip.
"It's your own damn fault," Seto said, looking at them.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY RICH BOY?" Joey yelled, about to punch Seto.
With one quick movement, Joey was the one that was up against the wall. "It's your own damn fault Wheeler; you let him go out alone when you knew that there was a murderer in the area." Seto yelled at them. (No, I mean actually yelled.)
"What? Kaiba, we didn't know about-." He was cut off when Seto's hand slammed the side of his face in a full-force slap, (No really, Seto slapped Joey.) sending him flying a few feet to the side.
"And you're always lecturing me about friendship, what kind of friends are you? Now he doesn't have any limbs left. What can become of him?" With that said and his point proven, Seto left the hospital. He knew what was going to happen to Yugi, he just didn't tell.
When Seto returned home, Mokuba grabbed him in a hug knocking him down as soon as he closed the front door. "Seto, you only said for a little while, not two hours!" Mokuba cried, hugging him tighter.
"Two hours? I was out for two hours? Time passes when you find Yugi getting his limbs chopped off." Seto said sarcastically and, putting his brother down, headed upstairs.
"What! Seto, what do you mean?" Mokuba asked as he heard Seto say this, "What happened to Yugi?" Kaiba looked away, not saying anything. He went into his room and lay on his bed. He was mad and his fist couldn't stop shaking. "Seto, what happened? What happened to Yugi?" He heard Mokuba asked at the door, "Can I come in?"
"Fine," is all he said, and Mokuba came in, sitting on the bed. Seto sat up and looked at him. "Mokuba, about Yugi." He paused, not sure of how to explain this to his little brother, "Yugi was injured by that murderer." He went out and said it.
Mokuba gasped, "What do you mean Seto?" He asked, worried. "What happened to Yugi?" He asked grabbing Seto, knocking him down.
"Well, lets say he won't be walking, dueling, well… basically any activity that you use you arms and legs for any time soon." Seto said, watching Mokuba's reaction.
"So you mean that all his limbs are broken?" Mokuba asked.
"No," Seto replied, Mokuba sighed in relief. "They're just not attached to his."
"WHAT?" Mokuba shouted, gawking at him. "How? What exactly happened? How will Yugi duel anymore or even walk?"
"That new fake human body parts technology they came out with recently, I guess." Seto said, a few days ago they had come out with these new robotic arms and legs that attached to your nerves and could move as a real arm could. Seto had no interest in them, but this thing could save Yugi's life.
"But Seto, the people who make those things are extremely hard to find, not to mention, I heard that the procedure of attaching it is extremely painful." Mokuba said as Seto stared at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Where the hell do you get all this information Mokuba?" Seto asked Mokuba, who just laughed. "Wait, don't answer, it was the internet."
"No, one of the maids that works here is a specialist in it, she told me the basic things it does and how it works, and warned me to try my best to never need one." Mokuba said. Seto just stared at him, shaking his head. "What? When you're out it's kind of lonely so I talk to one of the maids, and she is very nice. Her name is Hikaru."
"Hikaru, you mean Hikaru Ushida?" Seto asked. Now it was Mokuba's turn to stare at him. "What? I've seen her around sometimes; she's really clumsy and is always falling down." He said, thinking, 'and it's actually quite entertaining.'
Mokuba sighed and got off the bed, "Well Seto, what do you thinks gonna happen," the younger boy asked as he walked out the door.
"I honestly don't know, Mokuba," Seto said as he watched him leave. He lay down quietly on his bed and stared at the ceiling. 'No, that man wasn't the murderer, he was too weak, so who was he?' He thought as he remembered what had happened in the ally.
Yugi's eye's opened, pain burst into his whole body as he tried to move, Joey, Tea, Tristan and Yugi's Grandpa were around him either asleep or talking to the doctor and facing the other way. "Guy's" his voice was raspy and silent, yet Joey heard him, he looked at him.
"Yugi!"
"What happened?" The dying boy asked, as everyone crowded around the hospital bed. He was pale and he was on the verge of tears.
"We don't really know Yugi, Kaiba was the one who brought you over here, oh, you're in a hospital just so you know." Joey said as Yugi looked at him.
"Kaiba…?"
"Yeah, we don't really know what was going on, and then the ass said it was our fault that this happened to you" Joey said, "we'll all we know for certain is that you are missing your arms and legs-." He stopped when he saw Yugi's eyes widen.
"My arms and legs," Yugi stuttered as his head turned to see that his arms were missing. He gasped as he stared, "Ah-ah ahh ahhhh ahhhhh. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he tried to lift himself up.
Next day.
Two more bodies had been found, they were chopped up and dead, (well duh), Yugi knew that the killer still wanted him. "I don't want to be like this forever, I want to move around, I don't want to stay like this for the rest of my life." He said to Tea, choking back tears. His body still ached.
"Yugi…" Tea said quietly. She was crying. "I think it's your choice to make, and Kaiba did suggest it," Yugi looked at her. "There's a new kind of fake human body parts. It's called F.A.A.L." (Guess what it stands for, it's so original, couldn't think of a better name. –Sigh-) Yugi stared at her listening. "It connects your nerves with the arm so you can move and walk normally, though it's a slight bit heavier then a real limb. What do you think?"
"I think we should try it Tea, it might actually work and I won't be a burden to you guys by asking for help for everything. So let's do it." He said as Tea looked at him, she smiled and nodded.
"Yugi," she said. "The procedure is very painful and stressful. Not to mention, you'll have to go through it for all four limbs. I'm worried that this might kill you." He could sense that she was telling the truth about how painful it will be and that she was indeed worried.
"Tea, I'm not going to sit around and wait patiently for this guy to kill me, if he does kill me ever, I… I won't go down without a fight." Yugi said. Tea put her arms around his neck in a hug.
"Yugi, please be careful…"
