Hello all. Did you miss me? I'm sorry, but this chapter kept coming out wrong but I'm going to try anyways.
Chapter 27
"You remember me. I'm flattered." Atemu said walking over to the bars. Yugi backed up, but apparently that didn't put off this jerk. He grabbed Yugi's hand and pulled him back to the bars.
"Now, now, no need to be so rude. You are in my home right now." Atemu said. Yugi rolled his eyes
"Not by choice." He muttered. Atemu grabbed his face and forced him to look at him.
"Now, now Little Gem, so temperamental." Atemu said with something that Yugi did not like the sound of.
"Hands off you jerk." Yugi said slapping away Atemu's hand. Atemu just smirked and left the room.
"Creep…." Yugi muttered.
"You should just give into Master Atemu's intentions." A creepy voice said from across the room. Yugi looked around, his eyes landing on a cell across the room.
"And may I ask who's saying this?" he asked.
A girl who looked no older than fourteen stepped into the light, her pink eyes catching his amethyst. Her hair was blond and she was fairly pale. She was in, more or less, rags for clothing. But what caught Yugi's attention were the large ears on her head. She noticed and pointed to herself.
"Neko." Was the only explanation given.
"Ok Miss Neko what's your name?" Yugi asked.
"Lily. May I ask, what's yours?" Lily asked.
"Yugi. Is there anyone else in there with you?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yes, but they're all asleep right now. It's fairly late." She said looking at the wall as if there was a window. Yugi nodded.
"Well, are you tired?" he asked. Lily shook her head.
"No point. We'll still be here tomorrow." She said casually.
"What do you mean by that?" Yugi asked.
"When you sleep, it prepares your body for the next day and gives your mind something to look forward to the next day. Here, there's nothing to prepare for. We're in here all day and night so I don't see a need to sleep." Lily said. Yugi nodded. They sat in silence for awhile after that.
"Yugi?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"What's it like?" she asked. Yugi looked at her confused.
"The human world. What's it like?"
"Its pretty, but humans are idiots." He said.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked
"Humans are smart and have made a lot of things. Cures for seemingly impossible diseases, robots, spaceships, internet and a whole lot of other things. But humans are greedy, and they take these things for granted. They start wars for no reason whatsoever and many people die because of it. People die daily because of these people and their ways, and these people don't even seem to care.
To be honest, the human race may seem smart, but we're actually one of the stupidest races out there." Yugi explained shaking his head disappointedly.
"I see, my world was peaceful the last time I saw it. I miss it." Lily said sadly.
"Where were you from?" Yugi asked.
"Azumano (1)." She said twirling a piece of her hair around her finger.
"I'm from Domino." Yugi said smiling. Wherever he was, at least he wasn't going to be totally bored until everyone else woke up.
"Hey Lily, what're you doing up?" a voice said from Lily's cell.
"Master Atemu brought in another person. And he's cute!" Lily said enthusiastically. A figure dressed much like Lily stepped out. She had long red hair and a pair of bat wings. Her eyes were golden.
"New guy huh? My names Rose. Nice to meet you ochibi (2)." The girl now dubbed Rose said.
"Um…..I'm Yugi." Yugi said trying to figure out where she got ochibi from. Then a thought crossed Yugi's head.
"Hey Lily, how'd you know I was human?" Yugi asked. Lily chuckled.
"Well, at the moment that's what you look like silly." She said happily. Yugi tilted his head for a moment.
"What do you mean 'at the moment'?" he asked.
"We all looked human when we got here," Rose explained "But probably by tomorrow what you really look like will be revealed."
"Um….I'm human. I'm not anything else." Yugi said as if it were common knowledge.
"If you say so." Lily said shrugging. Rose smiled and went back into the darker side of the cell.
"See you tomorrow ochibi." She said. Lily smiled and went into the dark part of her cell as well. Yugi stood there dazed for a moment, but shook it off and went over to the bed he had woken up on. And to his dissatisfaction, he fell asleep.
Next Day…..
Yugi had woken up to see he was not just in a different cell, but that he was alone in a different cell. His first thought was Atemu, that bastard then he took a look at his new surroundings. He could still see the other cells just fine, since he saw Lily wave at him when he came to the bars and he could still see everyone else was still asleep.
"You get to go to the table today!" Lily said happily.
"I'm going where!?" he asked. His first thought when she said table and figuring where he was, the table he thought of was like one of those mid evil torture tables that they used to stretch you until you confessed something.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt……..much." Rose said. Before Yugi had a chance to ask two guards dressed in lab gear came in and took him from his cell. They led him down a dark hallway and he could hear what sounded like running water as they went in further. They came out into a dark room with a large round table in the middle of the room. The entire room was pitch black other than that one spot in the room. One of the men grabbed his arm and practically dragged him over to the table.
"Stand up there." He ordered. Yugi did as he was told as both men disappeared into the darkness. There was a moment of silence, before a whirring sound came to his ears.
Before he figured out what was going on, four clamps came up from the floor, two grabbing his ankles, the other two his wrists. The light got brighter and brighter and Yugi felt a tremendous pain in his back. He let out a scream of pain before everything went numb. The last thing he saw before he let darkness overwhelm him, was white feathers tipped with purple floating around him calmly.
End Chapter
I'm sorry everyone. There is a war in the world of Plot Bunnies right now and this chapter was not easy to write. It's not much for such a long wait though, I'm sorry. Please review, but I'm not going to be able to update for a few weeks. I'm sorry!
(1) This is the main town from an anime I'm watching right now called DNAngel. It was either this or Gateway and I didn't want to explain that one
(2) I saw this nickname on a fic I'm reading right now. It's the coolest nickname ever!
