Darkness within
chapter 4: jailbreak pt.2
I stood in horror as I felt the gun on my head, it would only take a second that I would fall to the ground. Dead. Shit! I knew this was a bad idea!
"Move it!" the guy shouted as he shoved my into the booth nearby.i yelped. How dare he... theres nothing I can do... He sat down opposite me, "I'm feeling free" he mumbled to himself.
"You gutless looking kid bring me some drinks and smokes and don't forget the lighter" the convict shouted. Oh crap he means Yugi. "And nobody try anything funny specially you detective," he sneered. Ya some detective cant even catch a convict or two.
I heard someone approaching and then setting the what I assumed to be the tray that had the alcohol and no doubt the cigarettes and lighter. No I wasn't going to tell Yugi to keep away like
Anzu had done because really who wants to get hit in the head with a gun?
Any second now I expected to hear the other Yugi, Yami call out for a shadow game but I heard nothing except after a few moments "do you need anything else?"
what the frig is going on there should be a shadow game unless... then it dawned on me maybe I DO need to get hit In the head ya that sounded stupid but it was my best shot. This is going to hurt in the morning.
"Yugi! Don't! Stay back!" I shouted. And just like that I was smacked across the face. Just had to hit my bruised cheek didn't ya?.
"so I brought what you asked for." Yugi, no Yami said sitting down next to me.
"Hey who said you could sit down!"
"I'm sorry I just thought we could pass the time playing a little game however it will be a shadow game and the one to lose will have an experience worse than death." Yami spoke in almost a sinister voice. I shook. Something about this doesn't feel right.
" heh heh heh a game huh, alright this could be fun. The convict sneered.
Still I wish I could see this!
"so what are the rules?"
"There is just one rule. As long as we sit at this table facing each other we can only move one of our ten fingers and once the game starts that finger cannot change. So which will you choose?"
"I choose my index finger of course, this is all I need to blow you and the girl away!" The convict said still holding the gun.
"alright then I choose my thumb. Game start!" Yami said. As he did this I could hear the lighter snap and could hear the alcohol the convict was pouring over flow. "Hear you can have this."
"Huh?"
I knew what was done. The lighter was dropped on the guys hand while his drink over flowed so if the guy moves he is done for yet hes going to cheat and in doing so...
"C'mon Amaya." Yugi said as he took my hand. We started to walk away.
"Don't move another ste-" the convict started to say. We had stopped and I quickly took off my blind fold and watched in horror as the guy was engulfed in flames.
"Don't worry there not real... so how can you see it?" Yami had turned towards me, his crimson and violet eyes narrowed. "well?"
"I- I- I don't know" I said in barely a whisper.
His eyes narrowed more and squeezed my hand harder. ow. This startled me. It was nothing like watching the show or reading the books this was a lot scarier. But he seemed to understand I was well scared and let go of my hand.
"Hey, Yug! Amaya! You guys okay?" Jonouchi asked running over to us, the others following close behind.
"Ya we're fine guys. No need to worry." I turned and smiled at them and when I looked back Yugi was back to normal.
"well since we technically work here-" Anzu began "we might as well stay and help pick up this mess."
"Alright then but I'm going home. Ya home I guess it sorta was becoming just that. I yawned. " come on Yug, Jonouchi. Its getting late."
what a mess that was. I sighed.
"See ya tomorrow guys." Jonouchi walked off.
"See ya!" I called after him. We continued walking. Hey how come Yugi didn't say bye?
"Hey Yugi are you okay?
"huh? He looked up at me confused.
"Its just that you didn't say bye is all so I was just wondering..."
"Ya... I'm okay. Except I cant remember what happened back there. But I'm sure its nothing." he smiled at me and I smiled back.
He didn't fool me I knew something was wrong.
When we finally arrived at the game shop the sun was setting. Sp pretty, I never got to see anything like this at... in my world. The sky was covered in pinks, oranges and yellows. It was like and ocean, waves spreading across the sky. The first few stars could even be seen.
"Hey look, isn't it pretty Yu-" I stopped. In Yugi's hands was a newspaper, that read hostage situation at the newly opened burger world. Wow its already made it way to the newspapers? Is that even possible? Heck if I should know. But that not what startled me it was Yugi's eyes they were dark, menacing, pure hatred as he stared at the newspaper. I blinked to see whether my eyes were playing tricks on me. Surely enough when I looked back at him he was back to normal.
"Man its cold lets get inside already." I said tossing the newspaper away and we went into the dark shop.
