Hello again people. I have nothing interesting to say (although nothing I say usually is) I'm just going to start the chapter.
How many times do I have to say this? I-D-O-N-T-O-W-N-Y-U-G-I-O-H. There I spelled it out for you. Those who disagree, go play in traffic.
Chapter 19
"Yami…..something happened when it was just me and my parents. It was like I wasn't me." Yugi said with a shudder. Everyone looked at him confused.
"What are you talking about? How can you NOT be you?" Marik said, looking at him suspiciously. Yugi looked down.
"It was like every bit of hatred and resentment I felt towards them came out all at once. That's not all that happened though." Yami gave him a questioning look when he stopped talking.
"Well?" he asked.
"Well you might not believe me but…..it was like I was controlling the surrounding shadows or something. And I was really fast, like a ninja or something (1)!" He said.
"Well," Anna said. "When you told us to go get Yami and Marik you didn't sound the same."
"Yeah and your eyes looked really, really dark too." Shaki said shivering slightly." They almost looked black." After a long silence Yami spoke up.
"Yugi do you think you can walk?" Yugi nodded.
"Yeah why?" he asked.
"If Pegasus sent your parents here that means he knows you're here. Which means we should be on our way."
"I'm sorry but how are we supposed to get off the island? Pirates dropped us off and left remember?" Marik said.
"We have a boat." Shaki piped up. The three looked at her and her sister. "You can use it if you like." Yugi frowned slightly.
"You know you can come with us." He said. The girls just smiled.
"No thanks." Anna said. "We don't want to be a burden." Yugi could tell she was lying. He stood up from Yami's grasp, which he had just realized he was in, and walked over to the two.
"I made a promise to you two." He said. "I'm not going to leave knowing you're here hiding."
"But Yugi-"
"Once I make a promise I don't break it." Yugi said smiling at them.
"I said I would protect you and that's what I'll do." Both girls smiled and hugged him. Behind them Yami and Marik were talking.
"Do you ever get the feeling you're missing something?" Yami asked.
"All the time." Marik said smirking at him.
After their brief moment of thankfulness Shaki and Anna led them to where they stashed their boat. It was bigger than they thought. It wasn't like a dingy they had been thinking. It was like one of those fancy steam boats you saw in history books.
"Here it is." Shaki said indicating the giant in front of them.
"Where did you get this?" Yugi asked staring at the thing in front of them.
"We took it from a dock in downtown Sheltie." They answered casually.
"You stole it!?" Marik said, surprised. They looked at him.
"You say it like it's a bad thing. No one was around and the key was in there. It's not like we destroyed the Twin Towers or something." Anna said. Her sister looked at her.
"Where'd you hear that." She asked. Her sister shrugged.
"I met one of the guys who did it at the docks." She answered. They all just looked at her.
"What?" she asked.
"You talked with a terrorist?" Marik asked.
"Hey he attacked America not us. I didn't see a problem with it." Anna said. They all just sighed.
"Whatever lets just go." Yami said stepping onto the boat.
"Ladies first." Yugi said stepping aside so the two could pass. They smiled and climbed on. Then he got on followed by Marik. Yami stepped up to the destination pad and typed in Rome. The boat made a grinding sound and started moving.
"Why are we going to Rome?" Yugi asked.
"Well for one it's a good place to hide and secondly it has a library the size of Indianapolis (2). It's the perfect place to try and figure out what happened to you." He turned to Yugi. "It's also quite beautiful this time of year." He said, making Yugi blush slightly (A/N the embarrassment never ends). And so they set off for their next destination.
Meanwhile…………..
"Master Pegasus." Kaiba said as he entered the chamber.
"Did everything go as planned?" the gray haired man asked.
"No but there's something you should see." He said and made a small hand signal at the door. A big man came in holding two forms over his shoulder. He dropped them on the floor.
"You may go." Kaiba said. The man nodded and left the room.
"Come look sir." Pegasus sighed and came down from where he was sitting. He recognized the two figures as Takashi and Konoko Mouto from when he had recruited them.
"I don't see anything." Pegasus said uninterested.
"That's just it sir. The two show no signs of life yet they're still here. I had the guys down in the lab do some tests and they turned something up." Pegasus raised an eyebrow. Now he was interested.
"Well?" Pegasus said.
"Well sir….even though this is near impossible……..their inner souls are gone. They're just mindless husks." Pegasus felt his breath catch in his throat.
"Thank you Kaiba. You may go." The brunette nodded and left the room. Pegasus hit a hidden button under the arm chair and the room darkened. A screen came down from the ceiling and flickered on, revealing a pair of crimson eyes.
"What news do you have Pegasus?" the figure asked, his voice hard and threatening.
"The boy you spoke of, the one with amethyst eyes. You were right, he gained shadow powers." The man said. The shaded figure smirked. The plan was going as expected.
"Is that all?" the figure asked
"Yes master." Pegasus said.
"Then you may go." Pegasus stood and bowed his head.
"Thank you master Atemu." Pegasus said. The screen flickered off. Atemu smirked. Everything was going as planned.
End of chapter
Okay for future references I don't support 9/11. It was just some random spur of the moment idea. I have nothing against America other then its bad taste in presidents (hint bush hint).
I also know that Atemu and Yami are the same person, which is the reason I chose him as the overall bad guy. Just think of him as early season 0 yami. Crazy and a pyrotechnic (episode two I think) and think of Yami as the yami from season one (season 0 kills it). That's all I have to say. Till next time.
REVIEW
(1)I just wanted to see if you guys would catch that. Remember when I said I got the fighting scene from last chapter from Naruto? Okay it wasn't funny I just wanted to see if you guys would catch it or not.
(2)Yami was over exaggerating. I chose Indianapolis because it's the capital of the state I live in not because it's the size of some liabrary. And for those wondering, no I don't live in Indianapolis, I live farther north than that near the Michigan border. Why I'm telling you, there are many towns near the state line and you guys finding it is very unlikely and the town on my profile is where my school is. So there.
