Chapter 16
After a long silence Yami finally spoke up.
"If someone is on the island we need to find them." Bakura and Marik looked at him.
"And what if they work for Pegasus?" Bakura asked
"Yeah shouldn't we, um I don't know….LEAVE!!" Marik said crossing his arms.
"If they work for him then we defiantly need to find them. They may have information on Pegasus's plans." Yami said
"And if they don't?" Marik asked
"I'll leave them to you two." Yami said. Bakura and Marik grinned evilly. Yugi, who had been sitting there through the entire conversation, yawned.
"If you guys don't mind I'm gonna go for a walk." Yugi said. Yami gave a weird look.
"I'm not exactly sure that's safe." He said. Yugi smiled and stood up.
"If anything happens I'll yell for you." He said, wandering into the forest. He walked until the only thing lighting his way was the moonlight from above.
Yugi was in awe from the beauty of the island. It wasn't just trees on this island, Yugi noticed. There were flowers too. Azaleas, Foxgloves, Snapdragons (A/N not the firework kind that you throw on the ground), Hyacinths, Poppies, Sweet Peas, anything you could imagine was here. Although the area around him was at peace, Yugi felt slightly unnerved, like someone was watching him. He looked around in time to see two figures hide behind a tree.
"Hello?" he called. No one answered. He hesitantly walked over to where he had seen the figures. He peeked behind the tree. They were two small girls. One of them looked up at him.
"Please don't hurt us." She pleaded
"We don't want those scary men to hurt us." The other said. Yugi blinked, he guessed that the "scary men" they were talking about were Bakura and Marik. He kneeled down to get a better look at them. The first one who had spoken had blond hair that was up in pigtails. She was wearing a blue and white sailor's outfit. She even had a small sailor hat. Her eyes were light blue. The second one had black, boyish hair. She had a brown newspaper boy hat on and was wearing a brown short sleeve shirt and black pants. Her eyes were green.
"I'm not going to let them hurt you." He said stretching out his hand towards them. "My name is Yugi." They looked up him and took his hand.
"My name is Shaki." The blond said "And this is Anna." She said indicating the other little girl. Yugi smiled
"It's nice to meet you." He said. They sat there in silence for awhile until Yugi spoke again.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"
"We're hiding." Shaki said.
"From who?" Yugi asked. Both girls looked at him
"We don't know his name." Anna said "but we do know one thing."
"He's a monster."
Yugi didn't used to believe in monsters, but since he came here his beliefs had changed. The girls were obviously scared of whatever it was, heck they were scared enough to come to a deserted island. Yugi smiled at them.
"Whatever happens," he said "I won't let it get you." Both girls looked at him and gave him a hug, knocking Yugi off balance.
"Come on." He said sitting up "If you want you can come back to where I'm staying." The girls looked slightly horrified.
"You mean back to where the scary men are?" Anna asked
"They're not as bad once you get to know them." He said giving a reassuring smile. The two hesitated but let Yugi lead them back to camp. The walk was short and soon the light from the campfire came into view.
"I'm back." Yugi said as he, Shaki, and Anna stepped into camp.
"Yugi! I was getting worried! Are you-"Yami's sentence was cut off by Bakura.
"Who are they?" he said, glaring and Shaki and Anna. The two cowered behind Yugi and Yugi sent a fierce glare back at Bakura.
"This is Shaki and Anna. They were hiding on the island when we came here and I told them they could come back to camp with me." He said. Bakura's glare didn't soften, then again neither did Yugi's.
"They were hiding? More like spying if you ask me." Bakura said. Both girls whimpered slightly as Yugi continued glaring at Bakura.
"Do they look like spies to you?" he asked
"Spies can look like anything." Bakura said "even two little brats."
"SHUT UP!" Yugi yelled, gaining a shocked expression from everyone "They are not here spying on us. They were hiding here in fear! You can't judge someone just because you're paranoid!" he said. Bakura was silent for a moment.
"Paranoid? That's what you have to say to someone who has saved your worthless life? That they're paranoid? No wonder your parents hurt you! You're a spoiled brat!" Yugi glared at him, trying to keep the fact that tears were coming to his eyes unknown.
"Come on." He said to Shaki and Anna "it's apparent we're not wanted here." He said turning to leave.
"If you need us we'll be at the white water spring." With that the trio left
"That was harsh." Marik said, scowling at Bakura
"Yeah, did you really need to bring that up?" Yami asked. Bakura didn't say anything, he just sat back down at his spot by the fire.
Meanwhile back with Yugi
Yugi, Shaki, and Anna were sitting near the waters edge, Yugi was quietly sobbing.
"We're sorry." The girls said in unison. Yugi wiped his eyes.
"Don't apologize you didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault Bakura is a paranoid jerk. I'm just sorry you had to watch the argument, it just makes me so mad that some people have the nerve to judge people so easily without concerning their feelings." He said with a small smile. They smiled back.
"Thank you Yugi." Shaki said.
"For what?" he asked
"For being our first friend." Anna said
"Your first friend?" he asked. They nodded
"Ever since we came here all we've had is each other." Shaki said
"No one wanted to take responsibility for two orphaned kids."
"Except this kind old couple we met in Dakay." Anna said sadly " they gave us food and were real nice to us. We didn't know their names so we called them Grammy and Grandpa"
"Where are they now?" Yugi asked. Both girls looked sadly at each other
"About seven months ago a man came and said that Grammy and Grandpa were in trouble for something. He said that they couldn't just take kids off the street."
FLASH BACK
Shaki and Anna were in the room that Grammy and Grandpa had given them. They were playing with some dolls that Grammy had let them borrow. Their attention was taken away from their game when they heard a knock come from the main room, which was strange because since they had been living there no one had ever visited. They heard the door open.
"Hello?" came Grammy's voice. Then they heard a thud.
"Celina!" they heard Grandpa's voice say. Then they heard another thud and an unfamiliar voice.
"You know," it said "it's not good to just take random kids off the street."
"Shaki, Anna get out of here!" They heard Grandpa's voice say
"Hurry it's not safe-" they heard a loud bang and a shriek come from the main room.
"Come to me girls." The voice said, it was followed by foot steps. The girls looked at each other and crept silently over to the secret exit they had found a few days ago. They were safely in the tunnel with the opening shut when they heard the door open.
"Come out and play." The voice said. The girls wasted no time getting out of there.
END FLASHBACK
"We never saw them after that." Shaki said.
"We were alone again when we heard about this island. It sounded like a perfect place to hide." Anna said " but now we're not alone anymore." She said
"We have you." Shaki said
Meanwhile thousands of miles away
Hell. The eternal prison of the damned. It was here a set of people were sent after their death. This pair was a man and a woman. The woman had red hair and the man had black hair with blond highlights. They wouldn't say why they were here but the reason was because of a specific little boy. That specific little boy was their son. The silence of their work was interrupted by the intercom.
"Takashi and Konoko Mouto you have a visitor." The pair put down their shovels and went with the guard to the visiting chamber. It was dark when they entered, the only light coming from a small light that hung from the ceiling.
"Hello you two." A voice said from the darkness
"Who the hell are you and what do you want?" Takashi snarled
"I apologize," the figure said stepping out from the darkness. The light revealed a gray haired man in a red suit.
"My name is Pegasus," he said " and I have a job for you."
