Chapter Two
Chased
In the small city of Domino City, Japan a small teen was running as fast as he could. The reason for this, he was being chased.
Yugi Mouto was short for his age. At 4'7" with his wide innocent amethyst eyes he looked to be eleven or twelve not sixteen. His black sleeveless shirt was ripped from where one of the men chasing him had grabbed trying to prevent his escape. The various buckles, bracelets, armlets and the dog color he wore seemed out of place with his innocent looks.
His hair was spiked up. It was a black that faded to crimson tips. The bangs framing his cherub like face were blonde.
When he had first seen the men chasing him he had though they were GHOULS after his Egyptian God Cards. Then he remembered Marik had disbanded them after Battle City. After they had surrounded him they demanded he give them the Key to the Shadows. Yugi had let Yami take possession of their shared body.
Yami glared at those surrounding him, daring them, mocking them. A shout of 'Stupefy' was accompanied with a streak of red light, startling the ancient Pharaoh. He tried to dodge it but failed. It hit him in the chest knocking him unconscious, forcing him back into his soul room.
Shaking Yugi resumed control, surprising his captors momentarily. He managed to escape but not before one of them had ripped his shirt. He had been running for the past hour trying to throw them off his trail. So far it hadn't worked. He came to a stop gasping for breath in front of Kaiba Corp. Headquarters.
"What are you doing here Yugi?" the cold voice of Seto Kaiba asked.
With a squeak Yugi jumped. "Hello Kaiba" turning around he looked up at the young CEO. "I…umm…I gotta go. Bye!"
Before he could move more than three steps a shout rang out. "There he is!"
Within seconds he was surrounded once more. Much like the first time only with Kaiba and his guards were there and Yami was still unconscious.
"What do you want? Make it quick I don't have time for this." Kaiba spoke.
"All we want is the Key to the Shadows. If you give it to us we'll let you go." a suave voice uttered.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you—"
Before Kaiba could finish his threat the black robed men were gone. In their place was an assortment of strangely dressed men and women.
"Who are you?" Kaiba demanded.
"I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of a British boarding school. May I ask what those men wanted?"
"They wanted something called the Key to the Shadows. I refused to give it to them. When I did they said something and a red light hit me. After that I ran." Yugi explained feeling he could trust these strangers some. "Do you know what that red light was? They seemed shocked when it didn't do anything."
"That red light was a stunning charm. I'm surprised you weren't knocked unconscious."
"Oh"
"What could a child know about the Key Albus? He can't be more than ten." a plump red haired woman spoke.
"I'm sixteen!" Yugi exclaimed indignant while Kaiba snickered.
"Of course dear," she said absently waiting for the Headmaster to answer her question.
"A great deal if Voldemort sent his Death Eaters with orders to subdue and capture."
Yugi are you all right?
/I am. I'm guessing that the Key to the Shadows is the puzzle/
Don't be too sure of that Yugi. It could be something else
"The poor thing is in shock!" the red haired woman moved towards Yugi, "There, there dear, it'll be all right. Just need to—"
"Excuse me," the soft voice of Ryou Bakura interrupted "but I think Yugi should go home. His Grandpa is getting worried."
"It's not safe here for him anymore. He should come with us," Albus spoke softly, "Its for the best."
"Bakura, do you know anything about the Key to the Shadows?" Yugi's cheerful voice startled everyone.
"It sounds familiar. Maybe your Grandfather of Professor Hawkins knows about it."
"Lets go ask," Yugi bounced "Kaiba could you please let us use your limo, please,"
Yugi turned the full force of his wide innocent eyes on the CEO. This look added to the disheveled condition of his clothes proved to be too much for Kaiba.
"Fine," he snapped, "Don't make this a habit Yugi."
"You wouldn't want your rival to get killed before you've claimed the title King of Games right Kaiba?"
"King of Games?" Albus murmured to himself.
"You can meet us at the Turtle Game Shop. I'm certain Grandpa would like to thank you for helping me." with that said Yugi climbed into Kaiba's sleek black limo.
A/N: I know this is a short chappie. It needs to be. At least thats what the plot bunnies are telling me.
