Chapter Five – I Run To You
It's been one week since Emily and Joey's kidnap. She was getting better, but she was always having nightmares, and always waking up in a cold sweat. Emily walked downstairs, towards the kitchen, and ironically found someone else down there as well.
"Mokuba?"
"Oh! Hi, Emily!" He turned as he was grabbing an apple.
"Why are you up?" Emily asked as he shrugged.
"I couldn't sleep. Same with you?" She nodded as he tossed her an apple as well. "Well, I blame brother and Joey."
Emily bit into the apple. "Why are you blaming them?"
Mokuba walked over to Emily, holding onto his apple for dear life. "Well, we watched this horror movie-Joey and I finally convinced brother to watch it-and throughout the movie, they would scare me on purpose! I hit them so many times that they will have bruises on them!"
Emily flinched as she heard the word bruises. She turned around, holding onto her apple, and ate into it again.
"Do you wanna get them back?" Emily said, unfazed.
"We can?" Mokuba asked as he grinned as Emily nodded.
"Oh, yeah. I've got an idea… First, we'll get your brother." Mokuba was about to giggle at the idea. "Find the whip cream." Mokuba walked to the fridge and found it in a heartbeat.
"Got it!"
"Then, we need a feather." Mokuba thought for a moment and found a feather that was near the living room. He ran back with the feather as I held the whip cream. "Okay, here's what we do: We need to make sure Seto's hand is open. Then, I'll put the whip cream in his hand. Then, you take the feather and tickle underneath his nose. Finally, he'll take that hand, full of whip cream, and rub it all in his face!"
Mokuba was laughing as Emily smiled.
"Let's do it!" She nodded as Mokuba led me to Seto's room. She knew where it was, but she wanted to follow instead of lead.
They opened the door, slowly, and walked into his room, quietly. Don't forget: it's late at night, around four, and Emily and Mokuba should actually wait until the morning. But, it'll get Seto and Joey mad! Which Emily couldn't wait any longer!
"Mokuba." She whispered as he nodded. She shook the can, pushing the nozzle and the white cream landed into Seto's opened hand. Emily gasped, softly, as she walked over to Mokuba. She nodded and Mokuba took the feather and played with Seto's nose.
He started to laugh! Emily and Mokuba were trying to not laugh, themselves, and Emily pulled Mokuba back.
"Let me do it. That way, if he wakes up, you can run back to your room fast!" She whispered into Mokuba's ear as they traded their items. Mokuba moved closer to the door as he started to breathe a little more heavily. Emily, however, had to remain focus.
She glanced down at his face.
Oh, God… I have to ruin this sleeping face tonight… Oh, well. That's why you don't let your younger brother watch scary movies until they are old enough.
She gulped and leaned the feather closer to his nose.
Can I do this? Man, when Mokuba did this it sure looked easy!
She tickled his nose as he chuckled-in his sleep-as he took his left hand and rammed it into his nose. Mokuba chucked it out of the room, shutting the door behind him, and Emily was holding her side, trying to not laugh. However, when she held her side, she actually fell in pain, to her knees.
"Ah-Mmm… It hurts!" She held her side as Seto woke up, abruptly, as he glanced down at his hand, then to Emily.
"Emily!" He jumped down to her height. He didn't care about the whip cream that was all over his face. "Did I hit you?"
She shook her head as she clinched her side.
"N-no. My side hurts-AH!" Emily held her side as Seto put her on his bed, checking her temperature, and decided to check the injuries. The bruise on her stomach is barely there now.
"You feel a little warm…" He glanced down at her stomach as he gasped.
No… She can't be… N-no…
Seto was awfully quiet, making Emily go pale.
"S-seto?" Emily called out as he held her, tightly, as she gasped.
"You're going to stay here… In this bed." He closed his eyes and smiled. "You're stomach is just hurting you. I'll get some stuff in the morning." Seto lied-about the stomach ache-as Emily nodded and he jumped in the other side of the bed, before grabbing a towel.
"Mokuba told me… You let him watch scary movies…" Seto gulped as he threw the towel down on the floor, after cleaning his face. "…And we were going to get… you back… I was up, and so was he, and I came up with the idea…" Seto nodded as he put Emily in the covers, and himself, holding her hand.
"Emily… It's okay. I'm actually glad you guys decided on whip cream instead of shaving cream."
"I was going to suggest that, but we were in the kitchen…" Emily told as Seto nodded and held her closer to his body. Emily blushed, but closed her eyes. "Seto… I wanna go back to my bed… Please…" She uttered as he shook his head.
"No. You're staying here. No questions."
"Fine… You win…" She murmured as she fell asleep-and a deep one-as Seto smiled and reached for his cell phone.
He went to his contacts and called the family doctor.
"Doctor Okaniwa?" Seto murmured softly.
"Seto? It's four in the morning… What's wrong?"
He glanced down at Emily, unsure if he should ask this.
"Emily's tests… Are they back yet?"
"Well, we probably won't know for another week or so. Maybe a month-"
"What do you mean A MONTH?" He yelled, not even waking Emily up.
"Listen. This happens all over the world almost everyday. Some people will be looked at, some others won't. Some even die not knowing if they were raped or not!"
"I need to know. She, Emily, complained of stomach pain…"
"Are you serious?"
"YES! I want to know if she's going to be carrying a child that happened on accident!" He explained as he held his head, trying to not cry.
"Seto… I'll try everything I can. I can't guarantee anything but, I will do my best. But, to make sure it's nothing else, give her something for her stomach. If then pain persists within this week, still…"
"I'll let you see her. I got it." Seto uttered as Emily grabbed onto his shirt. "I'll call you if the pain persists…" He hung up and put the phone away.
He looked down at Emily, her medium-length brunette hair laid on one side of her shoulder. He brought her closer to him, holding onto her tightly.
She can't be pregnant… No way in hell that she can be! Those tests… I need to see those tests! If she is-
He glanced down, as her eyes filled with tears.
-We will take care of the baby.
After the incident this morning, Seto woke up with Emily in his arms. He grinned, and left her there, sleeping in his bed. He walked downstairs, sighing, when he saw Joey up.
"Umm…. Morning." Joey spoke as Seto nodded.
"Morning… Did you sleep well?" Joey nodded as Seto grabbed a muffin from the pantry. He opened it up and threw the package away. Joey was eating a blueberry bagel.
"Well, you're in a good mood." Joey pointed out as Seto shrugged.
"Sort of. Emily and Mokuba were trying to play a trick on me and it sort of backfired."
"What happened? Did you get whip cream in your face or something?" Joey suggested as Seto turned and Joey laughed. "They did! Oh, man. Wished I seen that!"
"Joey. We have a serious issue."
"I think you're hair will be okay, and that face of yours too-"
"Emily might be pregnant."
Joey stopped laughing and his smile went straight to a frown.
"What makes you say that Kaiba?" Joey got up as Seto walked over to meet him half way.
"She was complaining of stomach pains, and they wouldn't go away until she fell asleep… I don't know… I might be paranoid." Seto uttered as he sat down at a table, putting his muffin down on a napkin.
"M-maybe she's a little sick! Ya never know!" Joey assured as Seto put his head on his hands.
"I don't even know what the tests are like… We might not even know…" Joey crossed his arms, unsure of what to say of next.
"Did you say anything to her?" Joey asked as Seto shook his head.
"No. And you better not either, mutt. She'll be in such a shock… She might not be able to…" Seto trailed as Joey nodded. He understood, about being in shock.
"If she is, and that's a very high is-"
"She's going to keep the baby. I know that the baby might remind her of the… incident… But, if she's willing to keep it…"
Joey nodded as he sat next to Seto, finishing his bagel.
"She should."
Seto nodded as he put his head down, making Joey gasp, very, VERY, softly as he saw the glass table have water on it-and it wasn't water-but tears!
"K-kaiba…" He reached for a napkin as Seto grabbed Joey's hand, making both of their hearts skip a beat.
Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit! This cannot be happenin'! Seto let go of my hand!
Joey, give me the damn napkin you ass! Geez… I cry and here comes the mutt, leaping into my inner thoughts! Wait, since when did I call him "Joey"? His name is mutt or Wheeler, get that through your thick head Seto!
Both stared at each other, waiting for the other to let go.
Joey dropped his hand as Seto followed in lieu. Both put their heads down, each hiding their blush from each other.
Since when have I blushed when Kaiba put his hand on me? I've never liked him! NEVER!
Joey looked over at Seto, Seto still looking down, putting his head on the table.
Okay… I've might have had a slight, and I mean slight, attraction to him… Ugh! Where is my head going?
Seto looked out a window trying to get rid of his own blush.
What the hell is going on? Ever since this morning, my life has been changed… And not for the best! Damn it… And when have I blushed? With the mutt? Did he blush too? Wait-why do I care? Wait-that means-No… Hell no. No way. We can't… No…
Seto was going into denial; Joey was blushing, again, as they heard footsteps coming downstairs.
"Where is-Morning!" Emily called out to the guys as they looked up from the ground, and smiled.
"Good morning. How did you sleep?" Joey called out as Emily giggled.
"Okay-ish. Did he say-"
"Yep. Everything. I have to applaud ya!" Joey pointed out as Emily nodded.
"Don't thank me yet."
Joey gulped and got up from the table as Emily sat down next to Seto.
"Are you okay?" Emily asked as Seto looked over at her.
"You seem to be… fine. Are the pains gone?" Emily nodded as Seto sighed. "Good."
"Well, I'm glad you care for my health." Emily whispered as Seto sat up, and got up from his chair, making Emily follow.
"So, what is today's agenda?" Joey wondered as Emily shrugged, and Seto closed his eyes and ate the rest of his muffin. "Hmm… Well, I think we should go out, somewhere. Anywhere."
Emily shot her head up and nodded.
"Sounds good! What do you think, Seto?" Emily asked as Seto shrugged.
"I don't care. I've got to get to work within a few hours, so exclude me from your fun-filled plans." Seto uttered as Emily frowned.
"Well, that's fine." She directed her attention to Joey. "How about we actually go swimming this time? You didn't last time…" Emily ended as Joey nodded.
"Sounds great. Besides, it's supposed to me really hot today, and we can swim in the pool in the back!" Emily nodded. "Let's wait a little bit. Then, let's see what Mokuba thinks."
"Alright. Then, I'll make some lunches afterward." Emily smiled as Joey smiled back.
She seems to be back to her old self. That's good. She's able to move on.
Seto was about to walk upstairs as he blinked and remembered what he wanted to say to Emily a while back.
"What's up?"
"I need you to come to my office. I have that thing for you." Emily gasped as she followed upstairs, but stopped for a moment.
"Joey, give me about ten minutes. I'll be right back." Joey nodded and walked up with Seto to his home office. The lights were turned on and Seto found the manila folder, with some papers in it.
"Remember when I said that I'll find something about the mutt's family?" Emily glared as Seto sighed. "Well, it seems that the family was covered with more than fleas."
Emily opened it up and saw a couple papers.
"So, his mom and sister DID move out…" She uttered as Seto nodded.
"Not only that, but the hospital did record some of the injuries he had one time… Which was about a year ago."
Emily read the hospital's notes, shaking her head afterwards.
"What did you do with his father? Have they got him?"
Seto glanced to the side.
"I take that as a no…"
"Emily, do remember that his dad and his group of lackeys are after you both."
She looked up at him, giving him the folder.
"What are they after? We're really worth nothing…"
Seto got to her height and shook his head.
"They're after Joey and you, me, and Yami, and possibly Yugi…" He walked over to the window, opening the curtains. "Think about it… Each of us are reincarnates of ancient Egyptian heroes… Believe it or not, they want us on their side."
Emily got up, shaking her head, walking over to him.
"But what are they really after?" She questioned, still confused.
"I don't even know… I figured this out several days ago…"
"Maybe the Millennium items? Maybe the rings?"
"Because they could be worth a lot of money? Geez, these people don't have the brightest minds on earth." Seto pointed out.
"Could it be because we were powerful heroes back then?" Emily suggested as Seto laughed a little, but stopped.
"The only powerful person back then was me." Emily glared at him. "Okay, and so was Yami… And maybe you two, I don't know! Quit glaring at me!" He exclaimed as she rolled my eyes.
"I will. But, what do you think?"
"But, why do they want powerful people, unless-" Seto stopped as he shook his head. "No… They can't form again… We defeated their sorry asses…"
"What's wrong?" Emily asked as Seto turned to face her.
"Nothing. I need to get ready, so go downstairs and have fun with the kids." Emily glared at him. "Fine… Mokuba and the kid. Go!" He shoved her out and shut the door.
"How rude!" She exclaimed and walked downstairs. "Well, if he wants to be rude…"
Seto closed his eyes and walked over to his computer, then picked up the phone, calling a certain person.
"Kaiba here. I need you to do a search on a couple people."
Mokuba agreed to go swimming with Joey and Emily. Walking outside, Joey had the towels, Emily had the sunscreen, they put on their sunscreen and Mokuba jumped in, getting them wet.
"Mokuba!" Emily cried out as she jumped in, getting Joey wet, again, and frowned.
"Guys! You're getting the towels wet!" Joey exclaimed as he threw the towels down, next to a chair, and jumped in, anyways. He came up as Mokuba splashed him with water. "Not in my eyes! I can't see!" Joey splashed water at Mokuba as Emily moved away from them, getting out of the pool, and found a water gun. A big one, in fact.
She filled it up with water and coughed.
"Now, if you two don't play nice, I'll spray you!" She exclaimed as the guys looked up at her and looked at each other.
"You and what army?" Joey asked as I shook up the gun and pointed at him.
"This army!" Emily grinned. Joey nodded and Mokuba found a float, and jumped onto it. "Now, let me get a little tan." Joey huffed as he got out, letting Mokuba float in peace.
Emily walked over to a chair, lay back, and sighed. She put her gun off to her side as Joey moved over to her, sitting in the same chair next to her. Emily closed her eyes, and put her sunglasses on. She put her hands onto her bath suit, a one piece, and tries to not blush.
Why do I have to be a girl? Why did I invite Joey? And, why does he have to look so damn hot in his swimming trunks? Well, I know why I asked Joey to come out here and how I'm a girl, but I'm not sure how someone can look so hot-
Emily shook her head and gulped.
I think now would be the best time…
"Joey." He looked over at Emily and she didn't move.
"What?"
"Well… It's something that has been bothering me… And I was going to ask you a while back, but I didn't."
"What is it?" Emily gulped as she sat up and took off her sunglasses, holding them in her hand.
"Umm… I-"
What the hell do I say? This seems like I'm treading on personal space, his personal space.
"-Seto talked about what happened the past year a week or so ago."
"Okay…"
"And well… He explained about several things that happened, some in detail, some not…"
Joey sat up and sighed.
"No offense, but will you get to-"
"Seto mentioned the Seal of Orichalcos."
Joey got up and shook his head.
"The rich ass doesn't know how to shut his mouth." Joey pointed out as Emily tilted her head and stayed where she was. Mokuba went in, he said he had to go the bathroom, leaving them alone.
"He didn't go into much detail: Seto said to ask you and Yugi and Yami."
Joey gulped as he put his feet in the pool, sitting on the edge.
"If you don't wanna say anything, I totally understand." Emily got up and walked over to him, not sitting down. "I mean, I was in your space and I should know I shouldn't ask certain stuff… But I seemed so curious, so-"
"You weren't in my space." Emily stopped speaking as Joey sighed, putting his head down onto his hand.
"I really want to get to know all of you before I leave… And no one hasn't speak to me about their lives or anything…" Emily pointed out as Joey nodded.
"We've had a busy week…" He whispered as he shook his head. "Sit here." She glanced down and followed his command.
As Mokuba was on his way back from the bathroom, the door opened up and his older brother walked in.
"S-seto? You're home early, and I mean, EARLY!" Mokuba exclaimed as he hugged his older brother.
"I know. Everything was up and fine until the electricity went out." Seto frowned as he shook his head. "So, as they are fixing that, which might take a bit, I decided to come home and rest."
"Well, you go rest and come swim with us later." Mokuba called out as Seto stopped and walked to the kitchen, seeing Emily and Joey sitting on the edge of the pool.
"Hey, Mokuba." He looked over at his brother. "How about you make some lunch? I'll be down to help you."
"Alright." Mokuba searched for the bread as Seto-you could say-dashed to his room, and within twenty seconds, had his work clothes off and put his swimming trunks on-light blue with dark blue streaks on the side-and ran downstairs where Mokuba was making PB&J sandwiches. "That was fast! And you did decided to go swimming now!" Mokuba smiled as Seto nodded, watching those two outside.
"Mokuba, pour some glasses of milk. Oh, and I'll take it out." Seto said as Mokuba nodded, listening to his brother.
Hmm… Wheeler better be telling the truth.
"Here brother!" Mokuba called out as Seto grabbed the tray and Mokuba walked to the door.
"So, how do should I begin?" Joey wondered. "Or, where do I begin?"
"How about you describe what this Seal of Orichalcos is then start off your story?" Emily suggested as Joey nodded.
"The Seal of Orichalcos-"
"-is dangerous. It's claimed a lot of lives."
Joey frowned as Seto interrupted. He walked over to them, Mokuba behind him, with sandwiches and drinks.
"Thanks for ruining my parade."
"You're welcome." Seto uttered as Joey huffed and grabbed a sandwich. "So, the Seal of Orichalcos could be used to claim a victim's soul. It can also bring out the evil in most people."
"Yeah…" Joey murmured. "It happened to Yami."
"What happened?" Emily asked as Mokuba walked towards the house, apparently watching us.
"While Yami was sharing Yugi's body, Yami possessed the Seal of Orichalcos and as Yami lost the duel, the seal was coming around his body… And Yugi decided to have his soul taken instead of Yami's…"
Emily gasped, a horrid look on her face as she turned around.
"Did this happen to both of you, too?"
Joey and Seto's eyes grew, but decreased as Emily nodded at the silence.
"I figured."
"E-emily… You know… Uh…" Joey was speechless as Seto walked over to Emily.
"It was, what you call it, destiny. It was going to happen, sooner or later, and well…"
Emily nodded as Seto crossed his arms.
"You wouldn't understand." Joey shot his eyes to Seto as Emily got up from the pool, and closed her eyes.
I wouldn't understand… Seriously?
"Emily, I didn't mean it that way!" Seto exclaimed as Emily walked away, only to turn around to face him.
"Oh, sure."
"Seto, apologize!" Joey poked at him; literally, as Seto glared over at him, then back at Emily.
"Listen. I'll say this:" She walked over to Seto and Joey. "I'll find a way I would understand." She walked passed them and walked inside as Joey looked at the door, Mokuba looking at Emily, then back at them two.
"Mokuba." Emily called out as Mokuba got up from the couch.
"Yes?"
"You told me that you're brother is working on another version of a RPG game, correct?"
Mokuba nodded. "Yeah. That's why he's been a little late every night, but he came home early today…"
"I'm going to go test it out."
"Why? What did he say to you?"
"Seto? I'm just a little fumed at him, so I'll get back at him."
"E-emily-"
"Get me a limo ready, and don't tell anyone where I'm going."
Mokuba nodded as Emily walked up the stairs, trying to remain calm. She opened her door, ditched her bathing suit, and found her outfit: a blue and white spaghetti strap shirt, along with gray shorts.
She walked over to her bed, and grabbed her notebook, along with a pen, and wrote down a little note.
Seto and Joey,
I might seem childish doing this, but maybe you'll understand, Seto. I'll go have fun while you guys worry over me. Joey, don't forget about what connects us.
Emily
She was kinda proud of getting back at Seto. This morning didn't count, so she hopes that this'll work.
"Emily." Mokuba walked up to the door. "The limo's here-Oh, and if you're serious about this-"
"Which I am."
"Then make sure you grab your deck, just in case." Emily looked for her deck, and found it in her bag, next to the ring. She put it on and walked over to the door.
"Thank you, Mokuba."
He nodded and she shut her door, smiling at the revenge she was going to get.
After Emily had been gone for a good twenty minutes, Seto and Joey walked in the mansion, finally working out an apology.
"Do you think it'll work?" Joey asked as Seto nodded.
"Of course. It's fool proof." Seto assured as Mokuba walked upstairs. "Where are you going?"
Mokuba jumped, and turned around, facing them. "N-nowhere. Just going to play video games since nothing's on."
"Huh, I'm sure that there was a Pokémon movie marathon on today, and you love Pokémon, Mokuba." His brother remembered as Mokuba gulped as Joey walked over to him.
"Oh, well… I've seen them all."
"Mokuba, you forced me to watch that same exact movie marathon six months ago, and you rented the first five and watched them in one day." Mokuba walked downstairs, slowly, as Seto crossed his arms. "What's going on?"
"I'm not saying… Maybe I'm tired of watching it."
"Yeah, and I'm tired of playing duel monsters." Joey joked as Mokuba sighed.
"If I tell you, will you both quit bothering me?"
"Maybe. So, tell us."
Mokuba sighed, again, as Joey watched him move towards his brother. He looked at them both, knowing he should of said something at the beginning.
"Emily went to Kaiba Corp…"
"Why?" Seto exclaimed as Mokuba nodded.
"She wanted to get back at you, so she's going to go play that RPG game that you were fixing up-"
"It's not even ready to be played with yet! Oh, that girl is in big trouble."
"What should we do? She's going to be there and they'll going to let her in." Mokuba pointed out as Seto shook his head.
"Don't worry." He looked over at Joey. "Go put clothes on, decent ones-" Joey ignored him there. "-And get your deck. And hurry up." They split as they went upstairs-Joey to the left, and Seto to the right.
Mokuba walked upstairs, and noticed a note on Emily's bed. He read it, and before the guys left, he had to show them.
Within five minutes; they were downstairs, decks in their pockets.
"Good. Let's go." Seto said before Mokuba stopped them.
"Emily left this note." Mokuba gave it to Seto as Joey looked over from the side.
"She said, "Don't forget what connects us." I think she meant those rings!" Joey pointed out as Seto nodded and they split up, once again, and within ten minutes, they found their rings.
"Let's go, again." Seto pointed out as they ran out the door, and ran to the nearest limo. "To Kaiba Corp, and fast!" They jumped in and high-tailed it.
Emily, on the other hand, was moments away from getting into the pod that would lead her to another world.
"So, is it finished?" She asked as the two people, a young lady, and a young man, nodded.
"Definitely. Mister Kaiba was actually going to do a test run of it in a few days, but I'm glad that they sent you." The young lady smiled.
"Why?"
"Because it was only going to be tested for a male body, so we can see if a female body would also work for this as well."
"Ahh! That makes complete sense!" Emily pointed out as the female flashed a card over a panel, and they walked into a room with five pods. Emily walked ahead of them, sighing at the view.
"So, are you ready to take on the RPG world?" The young man asked as Emily nodded.
"Oh, definitely!" She smiled as the doors shut, and Emily turned to the door, jumping a little. "That was a little spooky."
"Well, not as spooky as this is going to be." The young lady uttered as Emily gulped.
"What are you talking about?" Emily asked, a little anxious.
The young woman took off her lab coat and revealed her to be the woman that captured her a few weeks ago: Feather.
"F-feather?" She cried out as Emily gripped her shirt, her heart racing a mile a minute.
"Yes. And I'm amazed on how stupid you are. You didn't even notice anyone else, no guards, nothing."
"Shut up!"
The young man revealed himself to be Lion-the one who actually raped Emily. Emily was in shock, unable to breathe at all.
"Well, I guess you came back for round two!" Lion laughed as Emily couldn't speak. Her memories of what happened her second day here came flashing back. "At least she probably won't give up a fight."
Now, I really wished that Seto and Joey was- Wait! I don't need them! No… I do… I need them more than ever…
"S-stay away from me!" Emily cried out as Lion walked over to her, leaving Feather close to the controls.
"What if I don't listen to you?" Lion asked as Emily walked backwards. She noticed that there were no openings as she moaned.
"Just stay away, and no one will be hurt!" Emily yelled as Lion laughed.
"That was a good joke." He grabbed something from his pocket. "No one can hear you from down here. It's good that Kaiba ass knew where to put stuff."
Emily did a defensive move, by hitting him in his groin as he cried in pain, holding the area with one hand. Emily ran to the door as Feather was about to stop her as the door swung opened. Seto and Joey was in front of her, making Emily gasp, tears about to form in her eyes, as Lion leaped over to her and forced her to swallow chlorophyll that was on a washcloth.
"It's those guys again!" Joey cried out as Seto started to throw a punch at Lion, but held Emily in front of him. She opened her eyes, tears forming.
"I'm so… sorry… Seto…" Emily fainted as Seto glared over to Feather, then back at Lion, but then over to Joey. His head was down, his fist clenching at his side.
"What the hell do you guys want now? Haven't you taken what you wanted yet?" Joey yelled as Feather walked coolly over to them both.
"Oh, when Lion took her virginity-" She pointed to Emily. "-that was the only beginning! When we found out that you were both ancient Egyptian heroes, reincarnated, that made us want you both even more! And," She walked towards Seto, grinning, "when we found out that Seto Kaiba was also a reincarnate, we were thrilled that you knew him."
"And it's thanks to you both that you decided to come over here. Now, we have three heroes that'll become our lackeys…" Lion chuckled as Feather giggled. She walked over to him as Joey put his fists up, ready to give a good fight.
"Last time, you knocked us both paralyzed. This time, I can give you a good beating!" Joey cried out as Feather tsked at him.
"If you do, we'll beat up your little girlfriend as well." Feather purred as Joey huffed and put his fists down.
"Don't." Seto uttered as he looked back at Joey. "What do you want us to do?"
Joey glared over at Seto, unfazed that he decided to give up!
"Well, at least you decided to listen." Lion told as Seto crossed his arms. "Get in the pod, and survive the game."
"That's all?" Seto asked as Feather walked over to the control center.
"Sort of. We need another player, or two, before we can start…" Seto glanced over to Joey, and vice versa.
"What are you implying?"
"Call the pharaoh boy." Seto reached for his phone as Joey put his hand onto Seto's hand, holding the cell phone.
"Be serious here. I know she's in danger, but if we call Yami, Yugi will freak out and then-"
"Oh, and invite him too. The more the merrier." Feather called out to them as Seto sighed.
"F-fine… We can't afford anything…"
Yami and Yugi was walking through Kaiba Corp, very eerie how no one was here, yet it was a Saturday…
"Yugi… What did Joey say over the phone?"
"Just to come down to Kaiba Corp, with our decks, and to wear our rings…" Yugi murmured as Yami looked at his right hand, a light yellow ring shown on his middle finger.
"But, why both of us?" Yami questioned as they made it to the door.
The door opened up as Seto and Joey were looking at them, noticing that Emily was in a pod. Yugi and Yami walked in as Seto gulped.
"We need to play this game, and we need to win, basically." Seto shortened as Yugi nodded, looking over to Feather.
"Oh, guys. These are the assholes that captured us: Feather and Lion." Joey pointed out as Yugi gripped Yami's shirt as he glanced down at him. "Oh, and Lion was the one who…"
Yami's eyes grew and held his control.
"We're all here, so what now?" Yami asked as Yugi was still gripped on him.
"Sit in the pod, put your deck where you need to, and survive the game. If you do, you win. However, we made tweaked this game a bit." Feather described as Yugi let go of his aibou's shirt.
"Why bother with us?" Yugi cried out as Lion looked over to him.
"Because if you don't, we'll turn off the power, making you guys lose yourselves into this game, and your bodies will be ours, forever!" Lion pointed out as Yugi gulped. Joey walked over to the pod right of Emily, then Yugi, followed by Yami, then Seto all go into pods, ones next to each other.
"Now, follow the instructions." Feather called out as the pods closed on them, slowly.
"Please insert your decks below your left or right hand."
They listened to the instructions.
"Now, loading duel deck and persona to game."
Within moments, they were in the game, however, each were split in pairs as Emily was sent off- away from the others- as the game stopped loading.
Yugi opened his eyes, slowly, and noticed he was in a forest area, trees surrounding everywhere his eyes could see. He turned to see Yami only a few feet away from him.
"Yami! Wake up." He nudged his aibou as Yami's eyes opened, slowly, and sat up.
"Where are we?" He asked, rubbing his eyes as if he was waking up from a nap.
"In a huge forest… I don't even think we can find our way out easily…" Yugi murmured as they got up, at the same time, and looked everywhere.
"Well, the first thing we should do is try to find the others." Yami suggested as Yugi nodded, walking towards his left, Yami following behind.
After an awkward few minutes of walking, Yugi stopped walking as Yami walked ahead, but turned around to face Yugi.
"What's wrong?"
"Well… It's just… Why am I here?"
Yami walked over to him as Yugi put his head down.
"Those people, Feather and Lion, only wanted you guys. I only came because I didn't want to be separated from you…" Yami shook his head.
"No it isn't."
"Yami! They only want people who are reincarnates to the ancient Egyptian heroes of your time! What do they want with me?"
Yami was speechless. It was the first time Yugi actually said something that made the pharaoh speechless. He didn't know. He actually didn't want to know.
"Yugi…" Yami had to be creative. He didn't want to see his hikari in tears over this. "It's good that you're with me because…" Yugi looked over at him. "…if they found you… The same thing could happen to you that happened to Emily…" Yami shook his head. "But, since you're here, I know that you're safe and sound. And that's all that matters to me."
Yugi looked down as Yami walked over to him, and hugged his little aibou. He didn't want to lose him, ever, and held onto him tight. Yugi jumped a little, but turned his whole body around and hugged him back.
I hope everyone else is safe…
Yugi thought as a bird passed over them, and flying off to another destination.
Joey and Seto, walking passed a castle, looked all around at their own surroundings.
"So, you said that you created this place?"
"Yes. And to be honest, I didn't put that castle there…" Seto pointed out as Joey crossed his arms.
"Where do you think the others are?" Joey uttered as Seto shrugged.
"Who cares? We'll find them, sooner or later, and then we'll work our way out of this hell hole."
Joey nodded and walked beside Seto, unsure of how to pass the time.
"Well… Do you remember what happened this morning?" Joey brought up as Seto stopped and looked Joey in the eyes.
"Why are you bringing it up now, mutt?" Seto asked as Joey rolled his eyes at the nickname.
"Because we need to settle this. I knew that you have feelings for me-"
"I do not!"
"Well don't lie then!"
"You want the truth?"
Joey nodded as Seto put his hands on Joey's shoulders, and looked him dead in the eyes.
"Here. I'll show you the truth."
Seto leaned into Joey's face, close to his lips, and lightly pushed his lips onto Joey's. Seto's eyes closed, Joey's as well, as the kiss started to deepen.
I knew it! I so knew it! He likes me! Well, I like him too…
Seto grabbed Joey's hand and put it above his head, leaning onto a tree for support. As the kiss was going to be intensified, Seto stopped. Both were breathing for air as Joey smiled.
"Listen…" Seto started off. "It's not that I like you… I love you… And I love Emily, too…"
Joey was a little shocked, but nodded. He put his hand into Seto's own as Seto looked up at his blushed lover.
"I understand… I'll give you time to think about your feelings…"
I need time to think about my feelings as well… He's not th' only one…
"That's fine… Thanks… Puppy…" He murmured as Joey turned around and looked at him, again.
"Puppy? Since when have you decided to change my nickname?" Joey asked as Seto walked ahead of him, ignoring his pestering. "Seto?" Joey blushed as Seto turned around and glanced at him.
"Since when have you called me by my first name?"
"Since when have you called me puppy?"
Both turned from each other as Joey decided to be the one to grow the guts and walked over to Seto. Both looked up and saw that there was a meadow, in front of them, with butterflies all around.
"Are we dead?" Joey uttered as Seto shook his head and put his hand through his hair.
"This definitely was not in the game…" Seto assured as he walked over to the meadow, Joey behind him, and he was about to pick a flower as a monster appeared out of nowhere, in front of Seto!
"Seto!" Joey cried out as he pulled out a card from his deck and smiled. "Let's go, Red Eyes Black Dragon!" He threw the card onto his duel disk and within moments, the Red Eyes appeared and attack the monster in one swipe of its hand. It dissolved into the flowers as Seto got up from the ground.
"Thanks… That was too close." Seto pointed out as Joey nodded, and put the Red Eyes back into his deck.
"No problem…" Joey assured as they walked away from the meadow, only to come upon a small lake. "Huh. What's that?" Joey ran through the meadow, ignoring Seto's comment-
"You just saw what happened to me, now you run through it without caution?"
-and bent through the grass, smiling, if only for a moment.
"Well? What did you find?" Seto yelled, not in the meadow, as Joey leaned more towards the grass to find-!
"I just found Emily!" Seto dashed through meadow, ignoring his own comment, and stopped when Joey lifted Emily through the grass. "Although," Joey frowned when he blinked, "she's not in her own clothing…"
Seto looked over Joey's shoulder to see that Emily was in the last outfit that either of them would ever thought of.
She opened her eyes, slowly, and smiled.
"I guess you found me…" She giggled as Joey and Seto looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Uh… Have you looked at your outfit?" Joey blurted out as Emily looked down, smiling.
"I know." She jumped out of Joey's arms, nodding. "I was fighting this big, huge monster-I can't remember the name-so, when I summoned the Dark Magician Girl, the outfit was put on me, and I fought, and I guess I sort of closed my eyes…"
"You fell asleep, right?" Seto suggested as Emily nodded.
"S-sorry!"
"Well, all we have to do is find Yugi and Yami, and we'll be okay." Joey assured as Emily nodded.
"Are you going to change out of that outfit?" Seto murmured under his breath as Emily turned to face him.
"Why? Do you like the view?" Emily pointed out as Seto blushed.
"Please, just listen to me for once Emily!" Seto walked ahead as Emily smiled and snapped her fingers. She was back into her old outfit. "Joey!" Emily grinned as she walked up towards him.
"Hmm?"
"Seto was being mean…" Emily called out as Seto gaped as Joey looked around to face him. "I was wearing my super duper great outfit, and he told me to get rid of it."
"Seto…"
"Just move forward you two! Move it!" Seto said as he pushed them through the woods and passed a little lake. Seto frowned as Joey and Emily smiled back.
"Fine, we'll move it." Emily uttered as she stopped Seto and walked ahead of them.
"So, shouldn't we find some clues on how to get the heck outta here?" Joey suggested as Emily nodded.
"About time you guys thought of something!"
Emily jumped as she put her hands to her heart, and the guys surrounding her, making her blush.
What are they doing? I can take care of myself! Well, until I got captured… Never mind…
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Joey yelled as a person, from the wooded area, appeared. He looked exactly like Lion, but his features were a mixture of the Harpie Brother, and Armed Ninja.
"It's a flying ninja…" Emily pointed out as Lion huffed it off.
"What do you want?" Seto asked, the moment becoming serious again.
"I want to duel one of you sorry losers."
"Good. I'm ready!" Emily said as she walked in front of the guys.
"Emily, don't. Let me do it." Joey put his hand on her shoulder as she looked up at him.
"But-!"
"No buts. Emily, I don't want you to get hurt, again." Joey pointed out as Emily put her head down as Joey looked over at Lion.
"So, how about we make this interesting?" Lion suggested as Joey nodded.
"How?"
He walked towards Emily, as she put her hands over her chest, and looked at Joey.
"We'll put your girl on the line."
All three gulped at the same time.
"Why put Emily in the middle of this? This is between you and me!" Joey called out as Lion shrugged.
"You wanted to know how to make this interesting, so I am. Follow me to the lake." Lion yelled out as they followed him to the small lake.
"Joey, are you sure about this?" Seto whispered into Joey's ear as he nodded.
"I wanna do this. It's for revenge and I'll win." Joey promised as Lion walked across the lake and turned around as his lightning speed blinded all three of them as Emily was not with the guys no more.
"Hey! Let me go!" Emily cried out as her leg was tied to an anchor, and the anchor was flipped over a tree branch.
"Now, we're going to relieve a memory of your past. That's how I make stuff interesting!" He laughed as Joey gulped.
"Joey… Are you sure you can do this?" Seto asked as Joey nodded.
"Y-yeah. I'm sure." He uttered as Seto sighed, watching Lion walk over to Emily.
"Here's how this duel will begin and end. If you win, Emily won't be sacrificed, and you'll be given my deck. However," He put his hand on Emily's face, making her turn away, "if you lose, she'll be drag into the depths of this infinite lake, and she'll be my pawn until you guys can win her back."
Seto turned to Joey as he looked over to Emily and she turned to both of them.
"Do we have a deal, Joey?" Lion asked as Joey looked down at his deck, then back to Emily.
"Don't put Emily through this. She's been through enough of your shit!" Joey pointed out as Lion shrugged.
"Have it your way."
"But," Lion looked over at Joey, "if I lose, you'll let Emily go and take me instead."
"Well," Lion observed, "you're possibly the weakest duelist in this game now-"
"Don't listen to him!" Emily yelled as Joey glared towards Lion.
"Do we have a deal?"
Lion nodded.
"Joey…" Emily murmured as she looked over to Joey. "Do what you can. No matter what…"
"I'll win, Emily. I will win." He assured as she nodded and closed her eyes.
"Joey…" She whispered. "Be careful…"
"Let's duel!" They yelled as Emily grabbed her chest, Seto gripped the side of his trench coat, and Joey drew his five cards, hoping luck is on his side.
So sorry that this one was so freakin' long! I tried to end it but oh well… And how about that Joey and Seto scene? Hehehehe… Not too bad, right?
Well, I hope you'll like this next chapter! I think I'm getting a little ahead of myself… Yikes! ^_^
