Lost and Found

by Dark Wolf on a full Blood

Seto Kaiba has disappeared. Now, seven months later there's a new student called Jolinar who looks exactly like Kaiba! Here's the funny thing...he has amnesia! Is Jolinar the missing Seto? And who is this enemy? DISCONTINUED Sorry.

9. Back home

Disclaimer: I'm not going to repeat myself.

"Wake up…wake up."

Jolinar opened his eyes and saw nothing but darkness. He closed his eyes again.

"Wake up…wake up…Jolinar please, wake up." Jolinar opened his eyes again to see that he was lying down. He looked up and saw a woman hovering above him. Jolinar tried to lift his hands but he could not. The woman up ahead offered her hand. "Let me help you up."

"I can't." Jolinar said with his eyes closed.

"Why not?"

"…Too tired." Jolinar breathed slowly. "…want to go to sleep."

"You can go to sleep later." The woman snapped. "Give me your hand."

"Why?"

"So I can help you."

"Help me with what?"

"Help you to get away from Aron."

Jolinar's eyes snapped open. "Aron?"

"Yes, Aron." The woman smiled and said calmly, "Give me your hand."

Jolinar's fingers twitched and he slowly lifted his hand. His arm was as heavy as lead but he managed to lift his arm. "That's it." The woman said supporting him. Jolinar was a hair's length from the woman when he felt something snake around his leg.

"What the-" Jolinar looked down at his leg and saw chains starting to wrap around him.

"No!" The woman stretched out her hand as if to grab Jolinar. Jolinar felt the chains squeeze around him tighter and dragged him down and he was starting to lose his sight. Jolinar made one final grab towards the woman but he was already too far away. He fought the chains; he tried to grab some of his energy to heat the chains but to no avail.

"Jolinar fight!" Jolinar heard the woman's voice echo around him. "You must fight him!"

Why? Jolinar thought as sweet darkness enveloped him once more. His eyes glazed and they slowly closed. Who must I fight?

I'm only going to sleep.

"It is done Lord Aron." A servant bowed in front of Aron, who ignored the servant in front of him. "His mind in now weak enough into doing your bidding." The servant looked at the kneeling unconscious body next to him nervously. He couldn't imagine who the boy was or why his lord wanted him.

"Excellent." Lord Aron turned around and walked away. He stopped. "Just to be sure." He glanced back at the unconscious form. "Stand." The body twitched and slowly rose up; his head bowed. His body was limp and the only sign that the person was alive was his breathing. Aron unsheathed his sword and gave it to the person. "Come." Aron walked away.

The body twitched again and slowly raised it's head. The servant risked a glance towards the controlled person. He wore strange clothing. He was dressed in black clothing and metal bands squeezed his wrists. He wore a white cloak with no hood and no sleeves. He was slightly pale and was unusually tall. His brown hair looked as if it were done neatly before, but was now covered in dust and dirt.

The servant looked away when he saw the controlled boy's eyes. How could he had done such a thing? The servant had a gift to weaken the minds of others and make them do as Aron told them to. The servant had the misfortune of trying to bend Aron's mind to free him and the other prisoners that he was captured with; but Aron was too strong. Once he found out of the servant's power, he forced him to follow him or suffer the consequence.

The servant glanced at the boy's eyes and winced at the clouded blue eyes. The boy followed Aron like the mind slave that he was. "You too mind bender." Aron called from up ahead. The servant scurried up from his bowed positioned and ran up to Aron. It was the rule to stay five steps behind Aron and never in front of him and the servant intended to follow the rule.

It was the place where he had a chance to dodge Aron's fury.

The controlled boy walked besides the servant and was always five steps behind Aron. Aron led them out of the tent that they were in and went past many people on the way. They walked a quarter of a mile when they reached the front of their settlement. The servant looked back and even though he had seen the soldiers many times; he was still shocked at how many people followed Aron; willingly or not.

Tens of thousands were settling behind them. And the servant knew that that wasn't the true numbers that Aron had following him. Oh no. He had another tens of thousands going to the north, east and south conquering neighboring kingdoms.

"Pay attention!" The servant gulped and looked back up front and saw a small village that was defending itself with the soldiers that Aron sent their. The village was already burning and screams were heard. The servant was tempted to cover his ears from the terrible screams, but he knew he could not.

"Make the boy go into that village and have him resurrect my fallen soldiers." Aron ordered.

Resurrection? The servant thought questionably. But that's necromancy! Surely this boy isn't a necromancer? I heard that they were all wiped out! Nevertheless, the servant put his hands together and closed his eyes. He entered the boy's mind and was automatically hit by a wave of confusion and frustration. He felt the boy's spirit eager to fight him but the boy's spirit can do nothing.

The servant walked towards a light in front of him and met the spirit form of the boy. Chains were wrapped around the sleeping boy and the servant felt a pang of guilt. The servant knelt and put his palm on the dark floor. He whispered words that echoed around him and got up quickly. He felt himself go back towards his own body.

The servant opened his eyes to see the boy walk towards the doomed village with Aron's sword in his hand. The boy disappeared behind the flames and light showered the burning village. The screams stopped for a moment and everything was quiet. Then the screams returned with a fury and the servant looked away. The boy reappeared from the flames and dragged the sword behind him.

"Good work." Aron said approvingly when the boy returned to them.

"I've got another job for you."

00000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

"Is something wrong Mokuba?"

Mokuba jumped. He looked up and saw Tea and the others looking at him worryingly. "I'm fine." Mokuba assured them. He yawned. "Just tired."

"Maybe you should get some sleep." Tea suggested. "It's already late." Mokuba nodded and turned off the T.V.

"Hey!" Joey yelled and made a grab for the remote. "Who said you could turn off the T.V?" Mokuba just grinned and went to his room. "Do you think he's ok?" Joey whispered. "He looked concerned for some reason."

"He said he was tired." Tristan snatched the remote from Joey's hands. "No big deal right?"

Yugi looked up at the staircase. "I'll got check up on him. Just in case."

"I'm telling you, he's alright." Tristan said once again. He's probably snor-Ow!" Tea smacked him in the head. "What'd you you do that for!"

"For being such a jerk." Tristan blew a raspberry at her. "Argh! You're so immature!"

Upstairs, Yugi knocked on Mokuba's room. "Can I come in?"

Mokuba opened the door and motioned Yugi in. "What's up?"

"Are you ok Mokuba?"

"Of course." Mokuba said a little high pitched. "Why wouldn't be?"

"You seem, I don't know, out of space?"

Mokuba glared at him. "What do you mean out of space?"

"Like that!" Yugi pointed at him. "You don't seem like yourself."

Mokuba looked away. "I'm ok…just tired."

Yugi crossed his arms. "Well then. I guess I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong."

Mokuba sighed and went to the door and closed it. "I just…feel that something is happening to Seto." He walked to his bed. "Everybody's telling me that he's dead. That he's not alive." He sat on his bed and looked out the open window. "I believe that too. But a part of me believes that he's still alive!" He shouted. He looked at Yugi. "And then we see Jolinar Who looks exactly like big brother and he has no memory! What if Jolinar is Seto? What if Seto is still alive? And all I'm doing is sitting down my ass doing absolutely nothing to make sure that he is alive!"

Yugi blinked when Mokuba cursed. "Mokuba. Jolinar has a father." Yugi hesitated. "And I agree with you."

Mokuba blinked. He agreed with him? But why? Mokuba expected him to disagree with him. "Both Yami and I agree with you. You saw what cards Jolinar used for in his duel with Joey. And you see that he calls Joey a mutt." Mokuba giggled at this. "So it's possible that Jolinar is Seto. But that's not it is it?" Yugi looked at Mokuba seriously. "That's not why you're worried."

"No…it's not why I'm worried about Seto. I'm worried that something bad is happening to Jolinar right now."

"Then why don't we check on him tomorrow?" Yugi got up. "We'll go pay him a visit first thing tomorrow morning and see if he's alright?"

Mokuba nodded happily. "Ok."

Yugi ruffled Mokuba's hair. "Then I'll see you tomorrow bright and early."

000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo.

"Ow." Ausar groaned as he got up from his bed. "Stupid drink." Ausar pulled off his covers and sat on the edge of his bed. He rubbed his neck and got up slowly. "Stupid me." He heard Enki whimper outside of his room. "Enki?" That definitely didn't sound like Enki. "Enki? What's wrong?" He opend the door ad was shocked to see Enki on the floor covered in blood. "Shit!" Ausar pulled up one of Enki's eyelids and saw that he was ok.

Enki whimpered again and tried to stand up. "Hold on." Ausar put his right hand on where Enki's stomach would be and chanted. The wounds closest to the stomach started to heal first. Then, the healing spread throughout Enki's body and temporarily relieved Enki of any pain. After a few moments Enki started t get up and licked Ausar's cheek happily.

"Ew." Enki began to bark loudly and looked back, expecting the shadow creature to come out and attack them. "What is it?" Enki kept on barking and looked at Ausar. Ausar couldn't undertand, but he got the message. "What's wrong?" Enki grabbed his shirt with his teeth and dragged him to Jolinar's room.

Ausar opened the door and was surprised to see that he wasn't there. "Jolinar?" Enki barked again and ran towards the chest at the corner of the room. He lifted the chest open with his head and gently took out a book. He flipped it open with his nose and and turned to the desired page. He barked again and Ausar went to see what Enki was trying to show him.

On the page was an illustration of a shadow creature looking at him menacingly. Enki barked and pointed at Jolinar's bed. Enki walked towards the window and barked at Ausar to see. Ausar looked out and saw what were the remains of a small battle and saw a wall that was cracked and abush that was forced out of its roots.

Ausar looked at Enki. "Where's Jolinar?" Enki made a rumbling noise in his throat that sounded that of anger and Ausar understood

Jolinar was taken to Aron.

00000000000000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

Ausar ran to the basement. His hangover gone, he quickly took out a box that held weapons. To any other person, the weapons were antiques. They were swords, daggers, and whips. Nothing special…except for the fact that these items held power.

Ausar grabbed these items and stood in the middle of the basement with Enki beside him. Ausar closed his eyes and chanted again. As he did, light began to glow in the basement floor. There was a soft melody around the basement but Enki and Ausar ignored it. Ausar's chant grew in volume. What first started to be whispers was now a confident voice to a shouting sage.

The light continued to grow until it reached the size for two people to enter through. Ausar stopped chanting and threw in the weapons. Enki went in second and Ausar was the last to jump in the light. He looked around the basement and looked towards the light. Without hesitation, he jumped in the pool of light and disappeared.

Leaving an empty house that he, nor Enki or Jolinar, will ever return to.

0000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

Ausar ended up in the dense forest that seemed to be void of life. Enki stood beside him and pulled the sack of weapons. Ausar reached for the sack and took out what seemed like a belt. He put the belt around his waist and put on arm bands that were big enough to hide flat daggers. He put on another belt that held a sword and put on his shoulders a sack of arrows and two bows.

Enki also dug through the sack and pulled out what seemed like armor made for a dog his size. Without Ausar's help, he put on the armor with his teeth. He barked to let Ausar know that he was ready. Ausar took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He opened them again and found the string that would be able to lead him to Jolinar. Judging from the thickness of the string, Jolinar was not that very far away.

Ausar ran towards the direction of the string and Enki followed. Ausar took a bow and arrow and readied them in case of an attack. Enki stopped running and barked, warning Ausar of company. Ausar stopped and quickly hid behind thick tree. He looked around and Enki listened. They both heard a snap and Ausar came out of the tree and pointed the arrow at a group of people who also had weapons with them and looked very skilled with them.

"Name your business." The leader of the group ordered. Ausar slowly looked at all of them and knew that if he struck at least two of them, he would be shot dead by the others. He used The Sight and saw that none of them were mages. It would dishonorable of him if he attacked them with his power. Instead, he slowly put down his bow and arrow and put his hands up, showing the group of people that he was unarmed.

"State your business." The leader repeated himself.

"I'm a blacksmith." Ausar said confidently, as if he was asked this question everyday. "I'm on my way to find work in that direction. Heard that there was good work there for a blacksmith."

He heard somebody whisper. "'Would explain the weapons."

"What is he wearing?"

"Good work for a blacksmith he says!" A woman in the group said. She held a baby in her arms and looked as if she hadn't slept for a while. "Ha! Obviously, he hasn't good hearing or he wouldn't even be going towards this direction." The baby made a noise and the woman stopped to rock the baby in her arms. The woman looked at Ausar. "Where have you been that you're even thinking of going around by yourself without any company. Except for that mutt." the woman pointed at Enki. Enki growled, insulted by the insult.

"Like I said, I need work and I heard that there was good work for a blacksmith in that direction." Ausar started to grab a bit of his power to make a sleeping spell on them. He was already wasting time. Ausar looked at the unseen string again and saw it getting less thick, meaning that Jolinar was getting farther and farther away.

"Have you not heard the news?" The leader of the group asked. He lowered his arrows. The thought that Ausar was a threat was gone. "No where is safe right now. The villages in that direction-" He pointed at where Ausar knew was where Jolinar was. "-are either gone or captured by Aron." The leader spat the name like venom in his mouth.

Ausar loosed his grip on the sleeping spell when he heard Arons's name. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that, please? I wasn't listening well there for a moment."

"Everywhere, the north, south, east and west, they're all being attacked by Aron. Nowhere is safe. He's attacking every village, every kingdom." The leader said desperately. "He's leaving no one alive expect for those who surrender to him."

"I see." Ausar said thoughtfully. Enki growled angrily at what Aron's doing. Ausar picked up his bow and arrow and readied them again. The leader tensed and aimed at Ausar again. "If you don't mind, I'd like to go on my way now."

"The boy's dense." The woman with the baby said. She looked back to see if there was anybody who was following them. "That place is nothing but misery and death by now." She looked back at Ausar. "You still want to go there?"

Ausar gripped his weapon. "Like I said, I'm going over there to work."

"Then I wish you luck." The leader said as he walked past Ausar. "We have warned you of whatis going on in that direction."

Ausar nodded respectively. "Let your minds be at peace that this Ausar has heeded your words."

The group followed the leader slowly and carefully and looked at Ausar as if they had just completed something successful.

"Don't worry." The woman with the baby said as she reached Ausar. She was already far away from Ausar and Enki when she yelled back with the baby starting to cry. "You'll find your son if you keep on following that path!"

Ausar twirled around to ask the woman how she knew that he was looking for his son when he saw that they weren't there. "Where's they go?"

Enki sniffed the air confusingly. He could not find their scent. Ausar looked at the direction that the group came from and found that he could not find any sign of any track marks that they could have done. He looked back again to make sure that his eyes weren't messing with him.

Nothing.

He sighed and ran towards their path to find Jolinar. No sooner had they run, they stumbled across grave marks with stones with inscriptions written on them. Ausar didn't stop to investigate them but he managed to read part of the inscription to know that they were graves of unknown travelers found a few years ago. Enki barked when he saw the grave marks and barked again respectively.

00000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo

"We're almost there." The servant looked up the night sky and wondered how many souls have been taken up there these last few days. "We shall stop here." Aron stopped his horse and was at the edge of a lake. Aron knelt down and flexed his fingers. He slammed his hand towards the ground and the ground shook and the water seemed to be draining.

A part of the lake was dry enough to be walked upon and there was a cave at the other end of the lake. Aron leapt on his horse and led the horse through the dry lake. The servant and boy followed him; along with a couple of followers that would guard the entrance.

They all entered the cave and as soon as they did, the dry lake bed became wet once again. The followers stopped in front of the entrance as if to stop any who dared to enter. Aron held his hand high and his hand gave off enough light for them to see though the dark cave. They kept on walking with the servant and boy when Aron stopped in a fork in the cave. He looked at the boy. "You stay here and wait. You know what to do." The boy stopped and stood their patiently.

Aron and the servant took the left turn and the servant looked back at the boy. If anything, he looked like a standing statue. The boy was engulfed by the darkness as the two of them walked further and further away from him.

"At last." The servant heard Aron whisper. "My revenge is soon here."

00000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo

Ausar and Enki ran until they reached the lake that Aron encountered. "He's in there." Ausar used The Sight again and saw that traces of magic have been used. "We're going swimming Enki." Enki whined. Enki hated swimming as much as taking baths.

Ausar did the same as Aron. He knelt down and flexed his fingers. He then plunged his hand into the earth and the earth trembled and the water, instead of draining, rose. Ausar took out his hand from the earth and quickly ran down towards the cave at the other side of the lake bed before the water would come splashing down. Enki followed suit, relieved to know that Asuar was joking about going for a swim.

Just as soon as they climbed up the cave enough that water wouldn't reach them, the water that was airborne a minute ago came crashing down.

Ausar gasped as he felt a wave of nausea hit him and he fell to his knees. Enki whined worryingly and walked towards him. Just then, an arrow penetrated the earth next to Enki. If Enki hadn't moved to check out Ausar, it would've been him that the arrow would've penetrated instead.

Enki sniffed the air and sensed that there were three people surrounding them. Ausar got up quickly when he heard the arrow whiz by and tried to focus his eyes in the dark. He was no dog, he could not sense things in the dark. He used The Sight and was able to see what was around him in green vision. He too, saw three people surrounding them and he knew that they were not like the people they have met before.

Ausar took out his sword. I have not time for this! he thought as he plunged his sword on the ground. Light erupted fro the ground and split off into three separate lights for the three assassins. The assassins could not see in the dark easily, but they could sense what was going on around them. Fortunately for Ausar, the light hit two of them, but missed one. The light instantly killed the two men.

Enki saw that Ausar missed one and opened his jaws. Light grew from the inside of his mouth and he found his target. He threw back his head and blasted off the light in his mouth towards the last assassin. (Think White lightening, except in dog form.)Enki's blast was not as strong Ausar's sword, but it knocked the assassin out.

Ausar held up his hand and, just like Aron, light grew enough for them to see in the dark cave. Enki sniffed the air for anymore enemies they might encounter. A familiar smell hit his nose and Enki barked with excitement.

"Enki! Shh!" Ausar dd not know of Enki's excitement and Enki barked again. Enki ran ahead out of ausar's light and Ausar could not see him. Ausar heard another bark and a thud of someone falling. "Damn it!" Ausar ran straight ahead and saw Enki jumping and barking around excitingly. Enki saw Ausar and barked again.

The person who Enki jumped upon got up and Ausar finally saw who it was. "Oh thank fate." Ausar put his hand across his heart in relief. "Jolinar." Ausar ran up to him and gave him such a big bear hug that he heard Jolinar's bones crack a little. Jolinar did not respond but Ausar didn't notice. His son was safe and sound. "Don't you ever you do that again, you hear?" Jolinar remained quiet. Ausar finally noticed the clothes that Jolinar wore and saw them as the same clothing that Lokik said she found him with in the first place.

Enki kept on jumping on his four legs with joy. For a moment, he tripped and fell down on the floor with a thud. Enki shook his head and got up again slowly. If a dog could smile, his face would've been a toothy grin. Enki stopped for a moment. He saw something gleam near Jolinar. He looked at the light closely and saw that Jolinar had a sword hidden underneath his long trench coat. He looked up Jolinar's face and saw his blue eyes clouded and soulless.

Enki barked a warning and started to jump on them

Jolinar slowly lifted the sword…

And plunged it towards Ausar.

Come on guys! I only got two reviews! TWO! Why? I thought nobody liked this and my self esteem went down. -Thumbs down- I had 138 hits in my last chapter but only 2 reviews!

I'm desperate!

Please review? Come on writers, you know what it's like to get little reviews! No inspiration! And it gets hard to write your next chapter. I know this chapter was hard. I was down when I saw that I barely got any reviews. Usually I write 24 pages, but today that number is down.

Please review? Make me feel better, please? At least write one word so I'll feel better. I hate this, but I sound like a whiner.
