Chapter 2 What in Ra's name….?!

Yami sat at the fire as the others continued sleeping. The small animal lay in his lap, purring as he stroked it. The sun had begun to rise, but it was still kinda dark.

'I'm sure I saw a human in there with me, but there's no chance that they could've left when I closed my eyes. I didn't hear any rustle or anything. Could it just have been an illusion? I don't know what to think anymore…' he thought as he stroked the creature.

After the sun had reached its stage in the sky, the first sounds of the others came.

The small creature looked up, in the direction of the tents. Yami thought he sensed fear coming from it, but that was impossible…right? Ryou was the first one to come out. The small creature relaxed again, and laid its head back in Yami's lap. Ryou blinked surprised as he saw Yami.

"You're already up?" he asked him. Yami nodded.

"Yeah, strange, isn't it?" he replied, giving Ryou a small smile. Ryou nodded and sat down beside him.

"Yes, it is. You use to be the one to go up as the last. I must say I'm a little taken a back by this"

"Yeas, Ryou's right. You're not a morning person, Pharaoh" Malik said as he and Marik came out as well. Yami growled slightly at the nickname. They had given it to him a long time ago. Why? He actually didn't know. The small creature perked its ears up at the word 'Pharaoh'.

"Well, that's 'cuz I don't like mornings" Yami replied. They only shrugged, not believing him for a second. Then Bakura came out, wanting breakfast, and that fast. Ryou sighed and started cooking.

Later

About 12 pm they were walking around in the forest. They found a spring and desided to take a swim. The animal had strangely enough never left Yami's side, during the whole time, it was acting as he was its protector. He found himself smiling many times. He didn't know why he felt like this around this strange little creature, but he didn't care. He was just happy that he had found the little one. As Yami jumped into the water. It sat on the ground, unsure if it could follow him.

"C'mon little one, its not dangerous. You can do it" he encouraged it. It looked at him with those big amethyst eyes. It dipped a paw in the water, the water soaking it instantly. It glared accusingly at the water, but jumped into it never the less. It swam over to Yami. Yami laughed. The creature gave him a questioning glare.

"By the way Yami, what are you going to call it?" Ryou asked, swimming up beside him. Yami blinked, he hadn't thought about that yet. He turned his gaze at it.

"I don't know. I don't even know if it's a male or female" he replied. Ryou nodded.

"Well, how about asking it? If you suggest a name, then I'm sure it'll answer you in some sort of way. It seems highly intelligent" Yami nodded as his thoughts were on a suiting name for his little friend.

"How about Crystal?" the creature seemed to glare at him. He shrugged, apparently not.

"Diamond?" It bit him slightly. After like 20 other suggestions and disapprovals…

"I've got it! How about Hikari?" the creature looked like it was considering it, then it nodded, and then it began licking where it had bit him, as if to apologize. Yami laughed a little, saying 'It's okay' over and over again.

"So you've named the little thing yet, Pharaoh?" Bakura asked, as they dried themselves of with some towels.

"As a matter of fact I have, thief. I've decided to call it Hikari" Bakura nodded and started to put some of his clothes on.

"The contrast of your name then? Well, I must say that it suits it" he said, his voice muffled, as he took on his t-shirt.

As they walked back to the camp, Hikari's ears perked up and it froze in its walking. This caused Yami and the others to stop, wondering what's wrong. Suddenly Hikari jumped into Yami's arms, trying to get under his tank top.

"What in Ra's name is wrong with it?!" Bakura asked.

"I don't know, but it's frightened, and that very much" Yami replied, wincing as Hikari's claws dug into his skin. Hikari withdrew the claws, but was still panicking. Suddenly voices could be heard.

"Anna, are you sure its this way?"

"Yes! Don't you dare question me, Yoh. I know its here somewhere. I can still feel it you know. This is s good chance to boost your furioku" a female voice snapped. Then a boy and a girl emerged from some bushes.

The boy was dressed in green pants, white shirt and had headphones around his neck. His hair was brown and he had a peaceful, friendly look. He was about 5'3" , and just a little shorter then Yami.

The girl was dressed in a black dress, a bandana and had some beads in her hand. But what really caught everyone's attention was the katana (a Japanese sword) the boy had in his hands.

The boy, Yoh, blinked at them, then he smiled. The girl, Anna, just gave them a look that said it all, 'I-am-not-to-piss-off-if-you-want-to-live'. Then she saw Hikari.

"There it is, Yoh! That's it!"" she exclaimed.

"Is that what we've been looking for the entire night? It doesn't seem strong to me"

"Of course it doesn't" Anna said. Hikari whimpered in Yami's arms.

/Don't let them take me/ a soft, scared voice said in Yami's head. Yami blinked surprised. He looked down at Hikari.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Yami asked, tightening his hold around Hikari. Anna looked at him her eyes still cold. 'Wow, a female Kaiba…Never thought I'd see that' he thought amused.

"Yes, actually. You could give us that Spirit beast. It's not of any use for you anyway" Anna said. This time it was Yami who glared; he's giving her a very, very venomous glare.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Hikari is mine, it came to me on it's own free will, and if it wants to go, then it's free to do so" Yami replied, holding Hikari even closer to him.

"What?! You can't mean that? A Spirit beast is of no use to a normal human" Anna snapped.

"I'm sorry, for this" Yoh said. "Of course we can't force it. I'm Yoh Asakura, and this is my fiancé Anna Kyoyama" Yoh said.

"I'm Yami Mouto, this is my friends Ryou Bakura, Bakura Touzoku, Malik Ishtar and Marik Ishtal" Yami said, then looking down at Hikari. "And this is Hikari" Yoh smiled.

"May I?" he asked. Yami nodded. Yoh began to pet Hikari, who relaxed a bit. "It's very soft" Yoh said, Yami nodded. Then a soft growl could be heard. Hikari's eyes opened instantly, big as plates. Two men, and some big strange dogs, came out from nowhere.

"Damn" Anna cursed. "Yoh, it's some kind of puppets!" she said as the men ran towards him, Yami and Hikari. Hikari jumped down from Yami's arms, and ran towards a tree. The man and dogs followed it.

"What? Hikari!" Yami yelled, as he began to run after. Yoh was right behind him. The men had hunted Hikari into a dead end, and were approaching it, together with the dogs. Hikari whimpered. "Why are they doing this?!" Yoh looked at him.

"Apparently, someone wants that creature for themselves. Spirit beasts are extinct, and very rare to see. It has a powerful spirit energy as well, that's one of the reasons why they're all dead" Yoh explained. Yami tried to take all this information, as he ran for all he was worth. He had to get to Hikari before it was too late. The stopped abruptly as they arrived where Hikari was. Yami looked horrified as he saw the men and dogs close. The men was grey, and had stitches everywhere. The dogs looked the same, except that a few bones could be seen on them as well.

"What in hell is that?" Yami asked, horrified. Yoh didn't show any emotions.

"That's puppets. They're like zombies, except that someone is controlling them. They should be rather easy to beat, don't you think, Amidamaru?" Yoh asked. Yami was confused. Who was he talking with? Then his eyes widened, as a ghost appeared beside Yoh.

"Yes, puppets way be dead, and don't feel any pain, but they can't win against a katana, Lord Yoh" the ghost called Amidamaru replied.

"Yami, try to take Hikari, as we take care of those puppets" Yoh said. Yami nodded, still confused about all of this. "Amidamaru, integrate with Harusame!" Yoh said, as Amidamaru fused with the katana. The puppets turned towards him, and then Yoh attacked. Meanwhile Yami sneaked behind them, towards Hikari. There was only one problem, one of those dog puppets, was still there. Hikari saw Yami come closer, and decided to help him a bit. Hikari began to sneak over to Yami as well, as silent as he could. As Yami was about to pick Hikari up, the dog turned around and growled, ready to attack. As it jumped, and was about to bite him, a black flash came, and the dog began to howl. All that was left of it was some ashes, which were blown away by the wind Yami sat there shocked.

" What was that?" Yoh asked. Yami looked over to him, to see that Yoh was already finished with the other puppets.

"I-I don't know…" Yami replied truthfully. They went back to the others, who had gone to the camp.

"Pharaoh, what happened?" Malik asked. Yami looked at him, his eyes dull of emotion. Malik took a step back; feeling kinda scared of his friend.

"Yami are you alright?" Ryou asked.

"I don't know…" Yami said, so quiet it was lose to a whisper. Hikari whimpered in his arms.

"I can't believe you, Yoh Asakura!" Anna yelled at the other boy. Yoh just scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "Why did you do that in front of him?!"

"Well, it's not like I had any other choice, besides he's a good soul"

"Well, you're still gonna be punished. Five hours of running around the camp. Yoh gave Yami a look that said 'Save me'. Yami just shrugged.

"You should treat Yoh better then that. He saved Hikari's life" Yami said. Anna glared angrily at him.

"This is no of your business. What I make Yoh do is what's best for him" she snapped at him.

"Ehm, guys shouldn't we get something to eat and go to bed? It's starting to get late" Ryou asked, sensing that a fight was about to take place.

"Yeah, Ryou's right" Bakura said. "You're welcome to stay with us for the night"

"Thank you" Yoh said.

Late that evening, as the darkness began to take over the light of the day, they all sat around the fire. Then Hikari jumped down from Yami's knee, and ran into the forest in a hurry.

"Hikari!" he yelled, catching everyone's attention. They ran after Hikari, but they wasn't sure where it had run. "Where is it?" Anna and Yoh looked at each other.

"Amidamaru! Can you see Hikari from up there?" Yoh asked.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yoh. The only thing I can see is trees and vegetation. Wait a second…There's some strange light a few metres away from you" Amidamaru replied, pointing in the direction. They ran 'til they saw the light through some bushes, and stopped in mid step. In the middle of a small spring was a stone, and above it Hikari sat, glowing in an intense silver light. The light grew stronger, and they had to shield their eyes. As the light died, they opened their eyes, and they widened in shock. Where Hikari had sat a few seconds earlier, sat now a small look a like to Yami. The boy, had the same tri colored hair; his skin was pale, almost as white as snow; he wore white and silver clothes, a white tank top, with some silver wings on it, white leather pants, no shoes, a silver chocker with an anch, some silver bracelets, and other jewellery on his upper arms (A/N think those Yami has as Pharaoh, in gold). He had a cherubic, almost feminine face and his body was like a girl, small and slightly curved. He opened big, amethyst eyes, full of innocence. Long eye lashes framing his eyes, giving him an even more feminine look. Yami never noticed himself drooling at the sight.

"I know you're there" he said softly. He walked down in the water, and walked up on land, and over to them. "Hello, I'm Yugi Shinzui. It's good to finally be able to talk to you" he said smiling sweetly.
