Evelyn: I apologize for the last chapter for being a little short, this one is too kinda, but they're both from the same time frame so that's why I'm going ahead and updating since they're short. But no worries! Next chapter will be a normal length chapter!

Also, I do not own Yu-gi-oh

Chapter Three

Yami was sitting outside the tent of the "on duty" troop. He and Joey were waiting for the right opportunity to

strike. They would have to be taken out swiftly and quietly so they couldn't have a chance to call for back up. He

and Joey were on opposite sides of the entrance and exit of the tent waiting for the last officer to walk out. There

were three officer's in all (not including the one Yami was pretending to be) and once they were out, the foot

soldiers wouldn't know what to do, after all they were just the brawn.

Footsteps could be heard approaching the exit, Joey and Yami looked at each other and grabbed the man as soon

as he walked out. Once he was unconscious, they looked at him and noticed that he was just a nobody soldier.

There was small crash a few feet away from them that made them cringe. They looked up at the officer they were

trying to bag and it seemed that time froze for a moment. He had dropped his glass and was red in the face from

one too many drinks.

The officer had a look on his face that read, "you're not on my team, are you?" Their faces replied, "you just saw

that didn't you?" After that, their faces read, "yup..." The officer ran and Joey bolted after him, "Take care of the

rest!" Yami nodded and walked around the tent to unfasten one little rope and the tent landed on the troop. They

panicked and tried fighting their way out, one even punched Yami in the face causing him to fall into the pit of

covered soldiers trying to fight their way out of the tent.

Yami was being tossed back and forth over and over again until, crack! Panic crossed Yami's face. "Oh no..."

Explosions started on one end and began working it's way around the city. Yami finally freed himself from the

troops and ran as fast as he could to catch up with the explosions. "Mana!"

Eventually the explosions were starting to cease in front of the forest and Joey came running out towards Yami,

following him. "What's going on?" "The troop I took down tossed me around and caused the bomb to detonate!

We need to find Mana!" But to Yami's surprise, he saw a small boy running towards the explosion. He squinted his

eyes and got a better look at him, "That's a civilian!" A chunk of cement was hurdling towards he boy, Yami knew

that if he got hurt, it would be because of his carelessness.

Just in the nick of time, Yami grabbed the boy and pulled him out of harms way. He looked at him and noticed

immediately that this was not a boy, but a teenager with a hairstyle almost exactly like his. "Are you okay?" Yami

said, almost completely out of breath but he tried his best to look composed. He took note of all the bruises on

one of his arms and face. He looked pretty beat up, it was a wonder that he was still awake. The boy gave a small

nod and muttered something comprehensible.

Yami picked the teen up and passed him to Joey with clear instructions to take him to their medical tent. The

troops Yami had prepared must already have the enemies surrounded so he decided it would be best to look for

the young boy's things. But before that... He shot a glare at Mana, "Now... What happened here?"

Mana had a saddened look on her face, "I'm so sorry... I didn't... I thought," Yami held his hand up to cut her off.

He gently placed his hands on her shoulders, "Mana, accidents happen, but this boy may have just lost everything

because of the assumption you made. I'm sorry... but I'm going to have suspend you from your duties for the time

being." They have been friends as long as he could remember, but disciplinary action was required for a mistake

this big. Mana nodded understandingly, "Of course. But what are we going to do with him?"

Yami released Mana and looked up for a moment in thought and then back down to her, "For now, let's let him

rest and we'll gather his things that survived the collision. When he regains consciousness, we will ask him what

he would like to do." "Yes King..."

They walked up to the rubble and started digging around for any surviving items. Mana pushed a large rock out of

the way and let out a loud gasp, "Oh no..." Yami ran up beside her, "What is-" he didn't have to finish his

sentence because the answer was obvious.

Evelyn: I'm pretty sure the it's easy to guess what they found, but there's a good reason! I promise! T-T It's sad, but it had to happen for the story to continue! DX
