It had been days since they'd been locked up. Every so often they'd be experiemented on. Sometimes one at a time, or all three together. But the experiments were painful. Brutal. It was also difficult to know which was reality at times. That dreaming program would be used on them, and for a short time they'd think they were somewhere else. But none were fooled. They knew that the true reality was they'd been captured.
The guard shoved Yami into the room none too gently. Nearly making him lose his equilibrium. But he caught himself. Glaring at the man who slammed the door shut and locked it.
Yusei and Yugi just kept silent for a moment. Even as Yami picked up a piece of bread to eat in frustration.
"Dinner is here." Yusei remarked. Finding it best to avoid to actual issue at hand when it came to the Pharaoh. As it'd just make him more cranky. "It's alfredo chicken pasta with a side salad and a cheese cake slice for dessert.
Remarkably they were fed well, with good food. Whomever was in charge apparently wanted to ensure they were healthy. Yami simply growled and sat to eat his meal. Though it was obvious he just wanted to pummel someone. Contrary to Yami's small form, he could throw a fairly good punch. One of the guards had had the honor of experiencing it first hand.
"Yami, we know you're upset, but you have to eat something more than bread." Yugi placed the plate before him. "Do you think Kaiba is looking for us yet?"
"I think it's safe to say he probably is." Yami replied. Eating the meal before him slowly.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Kaiba stood, very impatiently, by the console of the computer. He'd been typing numerous bits of information. All in the attempt to find his rival.
"I swear his whole meaning for living is the Pharaoh." Crow remarked as he sat cross-legged on the floor. The first day he'd spent in awe and practically fangirling over the rich teen. But then Kaiba threatened to castrate him if he didn't leave him alone, he spent a good distance away. Still being a fan, but noting how much Jack and Kaiba were similar. Only Kaiba was more threatening. And he was sure he'd go through with any threats of bodily harm if he didn't back off.
Jack just simply kept himself at a distance, looking his usual self. While Aki sat near Crow. She was hopeful that Kaiba would be able to help. And tried to convince him that they could be of assistence. But the offer was bluntly declined. The latter stating he didn't need the help of a worthless set of people who couldn't even use a comb properly. She wanted to deck him at that point, but remained calm. After all they needed his help.
Mokuba yawned, as he'd been exceedingly exhausted. Helping Kaiba with his hunt for finding Yugi. When his stomach growled, he put a hand to it. And got up to grab a sandwich that had been left on the platter earlier from some of the servants. "Who are you guys anyway?" he asked. Even though they'd been at their place for the past few days, no one had seem to think on asking who the trio actually was.
"We're...friends of Yugi's?" Aki offered with a light sweat. She wasn't really sure how to explain. But Mokuba was clearly giving her a look that stated she was lying. He obviously did not believe her. "Well...Yusei's friends."
"Hmmm...so your Yugi's cousin's friends..." he took a bite of his sandwich.
"Cousin?" Jack muttered with a raised brow.
"Yusei's really nice. He let me ride his bike." Mokuba stated with a smile as he remembered the ride. It was short. Only a five minute ride. But fun none the less. It was before his brother and Yami dueled. He would of liked a longer ride, but his brother was already highly impatient. And wouldn't wait very long for the duel. None of them seemed surprised by this bit of information.
Kaiba smiled as his computer sounded. Indicating it'd found Yugi. "Let's go."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
He simply strolled into the complex as though he owned the place. The trip had taken an hour by helicopter. Mokuba and the other three following him. Mokuba was used to his brother's actions. But the other three were nothing short of impressed. Still, they were fairly certain they wouldn't get in so easily.
When a guard tried to stop Kaiba. Kaiba retaliated. Taking the man down with ease, and walked along as if nothing had happened.
This left the other three thinking back on what they had originally thought, and took it back instantly.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"HOLD STILL YOU LITTLE BRAT!" A man holding Yugi by his arms, growled in aggrivation as he tried to hold him down. It was time to do the experiments on the smaller duelist. But like the other two, he wouldn't do them willingly, and usually everything ended up in a battle. Yugi managed a well placed kick to the other man who'd been trying to strap down his legs at his head. Leaving him groaning in pain. But sadly it did not knock him out.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he screamed as he continued to struggle. As petite as he was, that didn't mean he wouldn't go down without a fight.
"Do what he says, before I get angry." came the response from an unknown source. When they looked, they saw Kaiba standing in the doorway.
"Who are you?!" the man asked in surprise. But he still didn't let go of the smaller duelist he was holding down.
"Kaiba!" Yugi was somewhat relieved.
"My patience is wearing thin. Let him go, before I make you." Kaiba growled.
"Don't just stand there! Get him!" the man shouted at the other.
Though his head was still ringing from Yugi's kick. He went for the attack. The hit had made him angry, so being able to take it out on someone without getting into trouble was something he looked forward to. Unfortunately, he missed, and Kaiba kicked him in his gut. Knocking him out cold, and leaving the other man shocked.
This gave Yugi the opportunity to use some of the fighting skills Yusei had taught him. Lifting himself up by his leg, he used the other to kick the other man in the face. It was a kick that could only be done if one was flexible enough. Which was one of the very few assets he had for his small frame. Once the man let him go, he got up by swinging his legs to jump up, and did a spinning kick on the table he was on to knock the guy into the computer. He too was knocked out cold.
Kaiba just looked on for a moment. While Mokuba was stunned. The other three being either indifferent, or excited.
"Wow! That was so cool! I never knew the King of Games could do that!" Crow was practically bouncing.
Yugi on the other than, was rubbing his leg and hissing in pain. He didn't think it'd work. But when it did he was happy. Only now he leg hurt. "Hurry up so we can leave." Kaiba ordered.
"We can't leave yet! We still have to get Yusei!" he climbed off the table. Hopping for a moment towards the door before running through it as his leg wasn't hurting so much. The others followed, until he came to a metal door, which he pulled on it's handle and entered. Because of the door they couldn't see. But they could swear they saw a flash of light for a moment. But once they entered, they simply saw Yugi by Yusei.
"Yusei! You're okay!" Mokuba ran and gave the tall duelist a hug. When Kaiba came in, he looked around for a moment.
"Hurry up, I don't have all day." He retorted, as he turned around to leave. Passing the other three without so much as a glance in their direction.
Yusei went from smiling to frowning. Following Kaiba, beside Yugi and Mokuba, and keeping his gaze averted from his friends. He seemed irritated that they were there. And wouldn't even offer so much as an offer of thanks to them. And he made it obvious he was avoiding them when he sat near Kaiba in the helicopter. They wanted to say something to him. But words were hard to find. Still, a helicopter was the best place as any since Yusei couldn't run. But it could also be a bad place if he unleashed that power from before. So making a decision to say something was really difficult.
"Yusei." Aki clentched her fists at her knees. Keeping her gaze to the floor. "I know you don't want anything to do with us right now. But I just wanted to atleast say that we're sorry." she waited for a response, but didn't receive one.
"We're all sorry." Crow added after a moment. Then nearly fell as the helicopter landed.
Yusei left very little time for anything more to be said as he hopped out of the helicopter and headed for the exit with Yugi following. The three just sat for a moment longer before getting out.
"I don't know what's going on between you guys. But if I had to say, I don't think just saying sorry is going to fix your problem." Mokuba stated. Everyone's eyes on him as they were curious as to what he was saying. "I think the more someone is hurt, the more you have to prove how sorry you are. So...just saying it isn't going to work. I think you have to show how sorry you are."
"How do you do that?" Crow asked out of curiosity.
"It depends on the person. But if you think on it you might come up with something."
"That sounds like a load of crap to me." Jack scoffed.
"Load of crap or not, it sounds like good advice to me." Aki replied in annoyance at Jack's lack of effort.
"I don't care what you're gonna do. Just get out of my house." Kaiba scoffed as he entered through the door. He wasn't a hotel service. And wasn't about to keep three people he deemed strange on his property. Much to his surprise he found Yusei and Yugi still in his house. He thought they'd of left.
Yusei was shivering, with tears falling down his face. Yugi was at a loss of what to do. But in the least offered him a hankerchief to wipe the tears.
Kaiba on the other hand, shoved them into a room and told them if they were going to go around blubbering, to do it privately. And slammed the door shut. Leaving the two alone, in what Yugi supposed was one of his guest rooms. But still, it gave Yusei time to gather himself. And get in a good cry.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Kaiba had sent guards to keep an eye on Yugi's house. Yugi wasn't sure what to think of it, but it did give him a sense of security to say the least. Still, he also thought it was over kill. But at the same time it kept Yusei's friends away for the time being. Solomon on the other hand was not very pleased, as he felt it interfered with business. Not that he actually worked often at any rate. Yugi's parents weren't sure what to think of it, but kept silent.
Yusei was in the garage, working on the frame for Yugi's D-wheel. It gave him a sense of calm to keep his hands busy. And made him feel happy that Yugi and Yami were willing to learn when they offered to help. He showed them how to create the program for the dueling system. And how to make specs for D-wheels. The design they picked was slightly disappointing to him. They choose to have the bike look, what he deemed rather bland. It was practically a normal looking motorcycle. But it was their bike. So he wasn't going to argue.
"And after you work out the specifications, you can start planning the actual method for the duel disk." he explained.
"What do you mean?" Yami looked puzzled.
"Well, like my duel disk is a hybrid." he showed them his duel disk. "It has capabilities that normal duel disks don't have. Like for instance I can make it detatch from my D-wheel."
"Hmmm..." Yami looked interested.
"It also has a sound system on it where I can make recordings, or use it as a microphone."
"I want that!" Yami pouted.
"Why? What use would we have for that?" Yugi looked at his other hand.
"I just think it'd be neat. And who knows, may come in handy some day." he defended.
"Is there some secret hidden agenda in that I should know about?" Yugi just seemed to know what Yami was thinking without the use of the puzzle.
"Maaayyybeee." he looked at him innocently.
Yusei just laughed. They could be so silly at times. But it made him feel right at home. "Well in anycase, you can use this program to figure out a design." he showed them the program he used for duel disks. "It's just like the D-wheel program I showed you, very simple to use."
"I can't help but feel like we're cheating to a certain extent." Yugi remarked as Yami started to fiddle with the program.
"It's not cheating, it's utilizing the knowledge being given." Yami smirked as he continued to work.
Yusei watched for a moment, "...So what about those men? I'm sure they'll come back."
"It's likely." Yami it a few keys. "But thinking on what to do will be rather difficult."
"Especially with that ruby." Yugi added.
Yusei put a finger to his chin, "And even in my time there's no information on such a thing."
"Which means we're stuck planning as we go." Yugi sighed.
"That's never stopped us before." Yami never took his eyes off the screen. "When in doubt we can always make bombs to throw at them."
"My other half the anarchist." Yugi rolled his eyes.
"What? It's not like it was the worst idea ever!" he looked at his lighter half with a pout.
"Say that to mom's tulips."
"That was an accident!" Yami squealed.
"Bombs don't sound like a bad idea." Yusei seemed to be thinking.
"Don't encourage him! Mom's still making us pay for the tulips!" Yugi looked at him with worry.
"What i'm thinking is less dangerous." Yusei looked at him seriously. Leaving both staring at him in wonderment.

Yes, I have finally updated. I've been very busy with school and work. So it made it hard to find the time to work on this fic. I would also like to note, that I don't just type whatever and post it. This fic has an actual plan, and thus takes time for me to gather my thoughts. With that being said.
I would like to say I don't mind getting messages for people asking me to update. I will generally use that as a sign of what people want me to update sooner. But to send me a message telling me to update or just delete the fic is frankly. Disrespectful. And I would like to point out to the person, that you are not the only one who reads this fic. Nor are you the only one who waits for updates for it (or my other fics). I will not name any names as to who the person is. They know who they are.
Moving on, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know the update was long over due. But school and work has kept me very busy (as I stated before). Plus I have cosplays to work on. As such my time is rather limited at the moment. Please bare with me. And thank you to those who have been. It's greatly appreciated. And I hope to update another one of my fics soon.
Reviews and comments appreciated.
