Chapter 2: The Next Victim
Yugi walked down the streets, receiving frightened stares now and then, wondering who would be his next torture victim. /Hmm not Kaiba...not yet, he's too obvious. Joey? Maybe, but he's too unpredictable. Tristan... but what do I really know about him? Ryou- he's a possibility. Tea? Hmm I have the perfect idea/ He sauntered on again, smirking. Walking past a TV store, he paused as he overheard the current newscast.
"In other news,an attack on the Kaiba's is quickly becoming a cold case. The Kaiba in question was found with several cuts on his arms, back and chest last night in his room. He is currently in Domino City Hospital recovering. The culprit left the scene of the crime leaving no evidence to his/her identity. If anyone has any information on the attack please call Crime Stoppers at 123-456-7890. Now here's Susie with the weather..."
At least no one suspected him yet. Maybe after torturing Tea he'd kill some random drunk just throw them off any trail he was possibly forming. Yes, that sounded like a good idea.
He spent the rest of the day roaming the streets until night came. Using his magic, he quickly transformed his clothes so that they completely covered his skin. He was now wearing a black mask, black tank top, black trench coat, black jeans, black army boots, black leather gloves, and a black hat. (Imagine one of those villains that wear something like this then pull out a gun and shoot people. Wow my imagination)
Using shadow magic, he transported himself into Tea's bedroom and waited. Ten minutes later, Tea entered, collapsed into bed and soon fell asleep. After casting a silencing spell over the room,he made sure the door and windows were magically locked, then got to work.
Gently, he shook her awake. She attempted to scream, but he used this to his advantage grabbing her mouth and cutting her tongue clean off. She was crying hysterically and muffled screams were torn from her mouth. Yugi then seized her wrists and in one fluid motion snapped them. Grinning manically, he proceeded to break each finger slowly and painfully, her resulting cries was music to his ears.
"I never did like you.." He chuckled.
He finished breaking her arms, and then moved on to break her ankles and legs. Taking his knife, he licked off some blood then turned to face her. Moving quickly, he drove the knife into each of her eye sockets. She'd live, but would never be able to tell anyone what happened.
Moving away from Tea's bed,he walked towards her mirror and with a hand dripping in blood, wrote the message 'no one is safe'. Lifting the silencing spell, he screamed at the top of his lungs before vanishing into thin air and reappearing in his apartment. Using magic, he quickly cleaned off all the blood from his 'play time'. He was about to go to bed, when he had a bright idea; 'Why not pay dear Mokuba a visit?'
Swiftly,Yugi vanished, reappearing in Mokuba's hospital room. Glancing around, he noticed Seto Kaiba's sleeping form on a hospital chair. Smirking, he conjured a silencing spell on Mokuba and got to work reopening cuts and adding new ones. Admiring his work, he added a bloody message on the wall to finish- 'poor Mokie and Tea'. Magically cleaning the blood off his clothes, he removed the silencing spell then quickly teleported to his apartment. Crawling into bed, he slipped into a peaceful sleep.
Back at Tea's house, after hearing the scream her parents ran up the stairs at light speed and burst into their daughter's room. Opening the door, they gasped in horror at the sight of their daughter. Instantly her father ran downstairs to dial 911. Her mother stayed with Tea and attempted to dry her tears.
"Who did this honey?" she asked.
A gurgled reply was all she got from her suffering daughter. A few minutes later an ambulance and several police cars arrived at the house. The only evidence was the note on the mirror stating 'no one is safe'. It only gave the Police more questions than answers.
In the hospital, nurses and doctors scrambled frantically attempting to cope with the new arrival and the young Kaiba who was attacked again in the dead of night. Seto Kaiba was currently being questioned by the police if he had seen anything and other officers were searching the room desperately for clues. The morning news report on the event made everyone suspicious and many people freaked. Yugi just walked on by with a smile on his face, breathing in the fresh morning air.
Today he had a wonderful idea to try out. Walking down the street he randomly killed a few people with shadow magic. Screams of terror echoed all around him and he just smiled on. Who would be his next victim? Maybe Duke... He seemed an easy enough target. And on his way back he could find and pay grandpa a visit. He smirked at the thought. Ooh, and maybe a gift to Kaiba on his website would be nice! Chuckling darkly, he entered an alleyway, then disappeared back to his apartment, where he plotted against his 'friends'.
In the afterlife,Yami was a wreck. He couldn't concentrate without his thoughts going to Yugi./Please don't let it be true/ he kept praying to himself. His day could not get any worse. But of course, it did- right at that moment.
"Temie! You've got another letter!" Mana yelled, racing in.
He silently prayed to the gods it wasn't about his Hikari. He hesitantly opened the letter, trying to ignore the feeling of all his priests' and Mana's eyes on him.
Dear Atem,
This is the damage your Hikari has done so far-
The Egyptian Gods
In it were two pictures. One of a Mokuba Kaiba, bloodied and lying in his room with cuts littering his body. The next was Tea, broken, tongue-less, with stabbed eyes and cuts all over her body. He couldn't believe it. Without warning he abruptly jumped up and yelled "I have to go to the realm of the living!"
"Why?" Seth pressed.
Atem quickly handed him the photos and note, and watched as his cousins eyes grew wide.
"F***." He muttered.
"Let me see!" Mana pushed.
Once she had a good look she screamed and dropped the photos.
"T-Those can't be real! They can't! He wouldn't do that!" she was horrified at what had happened to them both and kept shaking her head.
Just then Bakura entered the throne room with Marik in tow, as he'd heard the scream and decided to investigate the source.
"Bloody hell who's f****** screaming!" he demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know, thief!" Yami snarled back.
"So what's with all the screaming?" Marik asked.
Seth handed them the pictures reluctantly and watched them grow from pissed off to genuinely surprised.
"Bloody hell.. Who did this?" Bakura asked.
All eyes went to Yami. He looked down obviously hurt by knowing who was responsible.
"Yugi..."
"The runt did this!?" Bakura exclaimed. His eyes now showed a bit of disbelief.
"Yes.."
Yami would never admit it, but he always felt a bit more than simply friendship for the hikari. To see and hear the things he's done hurt him deeply.
"Hmm though this is deeply disturbing I gotta hand it to him with his handy work with a knife" a maniacal gleam was seen in both Marik's and Bakura's eyes.
"This is no time to be like this,you idiots! We have to do something and you're going to help! If you don't, I think it would be very bad if that got out hmm?" Yami smirked at the fearful glances the two in question shared.
"And what 'that' are we talking about?" Marik questioned cautiously.
"The one that happened in the gardens last week."
"You wouldn't."
"Would I? I do believe it was very interesting what I saw would be a shame if I was the only one who knew it.."
"How do we know your not bluffing?"
"Because I saw you and Bakura playing.."
"Ok! We'll help but do not speak a word of that!" Bakura was beet red as was Marik when they heard the claim. They never meant to have Yami found out they were playing with dolls... It just happened. (haha dirty minded people will think about something else they were doing but they weren't! no thief shipping in this...)
"Good. Now how do we stop a hikari? Without killing Bakura!" Bakura shyly put his hand down and looked thoughtful for a second.
"Gods this will take some time!" Yami muttered putting his face in his hands.
