------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi woke that morning trying to remember what happened the previous night. He figured that the painkiller the doctor gave him was the reason for him being unable to remember. He sat up while he was thinking and saw something he couldn't believe. The three specters were asleep in front of his dresser! Yugi couldn't help but laugh. The white haired one groaned, his head had been resting on the blond specters shoulder. When he realized it he jumped back surprised and knocked over the one that looked like him whose head was leaning forward. Yugi didn't want to be mean so he just stared at them, laughing with his mouth closed. His look-a-like fell onto his side still half asleep as the blond one lifted his head from the wall it had been resting on to see what was making the noise. "Bakura what are you doing?" the tri-color haired one asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The white haired one who looked like Ryou replied "What am I doing? You were asleep Yami, you have no room to talk!" the blond one cut in "Bakura you were asleep too and you know it!" The white haired one glared at the blond "Shut up Marik you were asleep too." The blond one smirked and replied "At least I wasn't asleep on your shoulder." The white one stopped as a small blush crept to his face. It was a few minutes before anyone said anything. Finally the tri-colored one said some thing. "Hey Bakura what woke you up anyways?" The white haired one pointed to me and said "He was laughing about something. I didn't realize why until I was fully awake." The tri-colored one looked at me and smiled. I didn't realize at the time that I smiled back. "Well I can guess why he was laughing. The three of were asleep and from what I can tell he was probably laughing because he never thought it would happen." The tri-colored one said. The white haired one disagreed "Or he was laughing because the people who had been following him for a week that scared him were asleep and looked pathetic." The blond one was the one that hit the mark with the right answer though. "Or he was laughing because Bakura was dreaming on my shoulder." I couldn't help but laugh a little but they started looking weird and I stopped. The white one shrugged before he said "At least I was half right about something." The other two looked at him confused "And what would that be?" the blond one asked. The white one looked over at me "The fact that he's afraid of us." The tri-colored one looked confused. "Why would he be afraid of us?" the white haired on looked back at him and said "You don't believe me? Watch." He stood up and started for Yugi's bed. Yugi, who had a shear look of terror on his face grabbed the blanket and covered himself with it. After about a minute he heard "See, he is afraid." "I don't blame him for being afraid of you Bakura." He was pretty sure it was the blond one. He peeked out from under the blanket and his eyes met with blue eyes. "Boo" Yugi quickly went back under the blanket. "Bakura knock it off." It sounded like the tri-colored one. "If you say so." After that the blanket was removed and Yugi was visible again, the three of them staring at him.
There was a long silence after that until his grandfather came in. "Yugi its time for breakfast." Yugi remembering that only he could see the three specters nodded and followed his grandfather downstairs. Jounochi, Honda, and Anzu were on the couch eating while they were watching the news. "Where'd Ryou go?" he asked "He left last night. And said to tell you to feel better soon." Honda replied, his eyes never leaving the TV. Yugi smiled. That was just like Ryou to leave on some unknown business. He got a bowl of cereal and joined his friends to watch the news. He sat down in time to hear "……were found in downtown Domino. These two boys Edward and Alfred Hughes attended the nearby high school where it is believed to be where they were killed. Evidence suggests that they were killed by strangulation but no trace of anything was found on either. Now on to the weather. The snow…….." Yugi dropped his spoon. The two that were bullying him were dead and no trace was found on them. 'No human trace' he thought and looked at the stairs. All three specters had heard the news and saw him looking at them. They automatically knew what he was thinking and shook their heads as if saying ::We're innocent this time:: Yugi, not believing them glared and returned to watching TV.
Somewhere in The Beyond unearthly things were being said. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SCENT DOGS ATTACTED THE WRONG PEOPLE?" the man saying them was the one pulling the strings behind everything. He had gray/white hair that reached his shoulders and he wore a red suit that looked as if it came from the circus. His eyes were green and gold. The one on the right was replaced with the gold one actually. The man kneeling before him said "Sorry Master Pegasus, the scent dogs aren't as reliable as they used to be." The man saying it had brown hair and a white cape that basically defied gravity. His eyes were stone cold blue and never really blinked. The gray haired man Pegasus finally calmed down enough to say something. "Look Kaiba-boy, if you want to see your brother again then bring me that boy. His eyes are the ones that will make me invincible! HAHAHAHA!!!" Kaiba attempted to drown out the maniacal laughter with no luck. The man he was working for, Pegasus had kidnapped his little brother Mokuba and forced him to use his resources as King of The Beyond to help him find a smalled amethyst eyed boy name Yugi. Its not like he had a choice but to help the insane man, his brother was a stake. "Now Kaiba-boy," the psycho started "is there any other way we might find him?" Kaiba looked down, there was one way but it was far too dangerous. "Now, now Kaiba-boy dangerous or not what is it?" Kaiba had forgotten that the golden eye that Pegasus had enabled him to read minds. Kaiba feeling the sting of defeat said "Death Stalkers." The psycho's eyes lit up "Ooooooh those sound fun. Send them out to find the boy." Kaiba nodded and left leaving Pegasus to his thoughts. "When I have those eyes I won't just control this world but the living world as well!" Pegasus was laughing insanely again.
After a long walk back to the palace Kaiba entered and saw Jono, his love who he had met at an anger management class three months ago. "So?" Jono asked "What did he say?" Kaiba felt obligated to tell him, after all they were lovers. "He's making me send Death Stalkers to catch the boy tonight." He said coldly thinking of his younger brother. "You had better tell Yami about this." Jono nodded and left to go see if Yami was back on break from guarding the kid.
Yugi, Jounochi, Honda, Ryou, and Anzu were walking home together as usual. Yugi stayed towards the back and kept looking behind him. The three specters were watching him and saying something at the same time. He couldn't figure out what they were saying but what he did hear sent shivers down his spine. What he heard were three simple words 'capture him tonight'. Not noticing that there was ice in front of him Yugi slipped while he was thinking. Jounochi burst out in laughter as Ryou and Anzu helped and brushed him off. "You really need to pay attention to where you're going." Anzu said. "I know." He said looking behind him the specters stopped instantly realizing he had heard some of their conversation. After Yugi was brushed off and Jounochi had recovered from laughing they continued home, Yugi not looking back the entire way.
Yami, Bakura, and Marik were following Yugi home as they usually did but this time they were talking about something. "So what did Jono say?" Bakura asked. Yami sighed and said "Their planning on sending Death Stalkers to capture him tonight." He said coldly. Death Stalkers was something everyone from The Beyond knew about. They suffocated their victims and took them back to The Beyond for their masters as proof that they completed their mission. It was sad actually. If you're killed by a Death Stalker you aren't allowed into The Beyond because your body isn't at rest. Yami should know. He had been murdered and wasn't allowed until they had put his body to rest three days later. Yamis attention was pulled when Marik and Bakura stopped. Yugi had slipped on some ice, from his stance he was thinking about something. He looked back at them. "Do you think he heard what we said?" Marik asked. Bakura replied "Yes it's possible but whatever he heard he probably doesn't know what it means." they continued after they brushed the boy off. Yami found it strange though. The boy never looked back at them after he had slipped. It was like he was afraid of what he might see.
That night Yugi lay awake in his bed. The three specters were asleep so he had the chance to sneak onto the roof. Tonight there was a blue moon(1) out and Yugi had figured out when it would be right over the game shop and all the lights in Domino would be off. He silently got out of bed and left the room. There was a small door on the ceiling that led to the roof in the hallway. He grabbed a blanket and went out one the roof. The cold November air was something Yugi enjoyed more than anything. He looked up the moon was right above him, blue and shining brighter than any star. He cleared away some snow and lay down on the roof. The night sky was perfect, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky and the moon was making the snow glow. Yugi was so entranced by the sight that he didn't notice there was a black ghostly figure approaching him until it was too late. Yugi was so surprised by the figure he wasn't able to protect himself when the figure covered his mouth and nose with a towel of some sort drenched with what smelled like nail polish remover. Yugi knew what happened when you inhaled too much nail polish remover. His mom had done it to him countless times. As he started to lose consciousness something or someone kicked what ever was holding the towel over him of the roof. It was his look alike? Yugi heard the specter say "Are you alright?" before Yugi could answer he faded into blackness.
"He's unconscious." Yami stated looking down at the boy. "What was he doing up here anyway?" Bakura asked obviously annoyed. "I think the reason is right above us." Marik said pointing up. Yami and Bakura looked up. It was a blue moon. An occurrence that happened once a year when The Sun and The Beyond reflected off the moon at the same time. The sky was ablaze with stars and the moonlight was reflecting in the snow. They looked back down at Yugi. "What should we do with him?" Marik asked. "Its not like he's safe here anymore." Bakura stated. Yami nodded his head. "Your right. Do you think we should take him with us?" he asked. "Its not like we have a choice." Marik stated with that Yami picked up Yugi bridle style and they headed for the portal to The Beyond.
Yugi woke in a small room nothing like his own. There was one chair, a wardrobe, the bed witch he was on and a lamp. Yugi tried standing but he felt to dizzy and sat back down holding his head. He stayed like that for awhile until he heard voices outside the door. "Do you think he's awake?" it sounded like that blond specter "If he's not he's about to be." The white specter "Calm down Bakura. Your forgetting he was nearly suffocated." The tri-colored specter. After a few seconds they walked in and saw Yugi holding his head. "He wakes." The tri-colored one said And so ends chapter four. can anyone guess where Yugi is? review and enjoy as the chapters continue
