AN: Woot! I actually might update earlier then I thought! :P So now the story's moving, and I am incredibly excited! Except, now I have to come up with the clues... sigh... Anywho! Enjoy!
"What do you mean you can't trace it?"
"Exactly what I said, bro," Mokuba tried to explain to his frustrated brother, "No return address. We can talk to the post workers..."
Kaiba sighed and ran a hand over his face, "No. This Bronya's not an idiot." He sat down in his chair and read through the note again.
And so it begins, the first line read, My little game has officially started. I hope you're half as smart they say you are. You have three days to figure out this clue and arrive at your destination. If you're not there, I'll have to assume you don't want your little girl anymore. Then I have to get rid of her. Anymuffins! here you go!
They tell me horses don't fly, that it's all just an Illusion. But, for you Kaiba-boy, you better hope they're real!
Relization dawned on him and he cussed loudly, causing Mokuba to jump and the cat to hiss and dive under the couch. Kaiba motioned to his brother and growled, "Come on Mokuba."
"What on earth is that supposed to mean!" Jonouchi growled, tugging angrily at his fluffy blonde hair.
"Horses don't fly..." Yugi muttered thoughtfully to himself, "It's all... An Illusion?" He sighed and turned to his friends, "Any ideas?"
"'ell," Bakura said around the large chocolate chip muffin he had just shoved into his mouth whole, " 'n etholoy aw fwing houws s cawled aw Pwegrafis."
The small group turned to look at their British companion and one word escaped Honda's lips: "What?"
He gulped down the remains of his snack and spoke again, "I said: In mythology a flying horse was referred to as a Pegasus..."
The wheels started turing in Yugi's little head, "And she called me Yugi-boy!"
Honda jumped in, "And illusions is capitalized!"
Jonouchi opened his mouth and declared...
"I don't get it."
The group sighed in response and Mai hit her boyfriend in the head with the nearest pillow, "Pegasus has the next clue, you idiot."
"My clues different," Jonouchi protested.
Yugi sighed again, "Read it."
Jonouchi cleared his throat and read: "They tell me horses can't fly, that it's all an Illusion. But don't worry, maybe this time you won't come in second."
Mai growled her frustration, "You were second in duelist Kingdom! Which was run by PEGASUS!"
Jonuchi blinked, "Oh yea... I knew that..." he grinned sheepishly.
Yugi pulled out his cell phone and punched the numbers hurriedly. After a couple rings a groggy voice answered, "Hello?"
"Pegasus-"
"Oh, hello Yugi-boy. I never thought you would be this desperate for revenge. It's two in the morning over here and-"
"Yea, sure, sure. Listen, did you get any strange mail lately?"
"Well yes," he said, confusion filling his voice, "I got a letter for you and your runner up friend the other day and-"
"What did it say!" he couldn't stop him self, he had to know.
"I don't read your mail!" He said, agast, "but I can send it to you..."
"No! No... We're coming to get them. "
"What about Kaiba-boy?"
Yugi blinked, "Well... yea. I assume him too..."
"Okay then, when will you be here?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh... Well, then... um... see you... tomorrow then...?"There was a soft click as the other man hug up.
"So," Bakura broke the silence, "how are we going to get to California by tomorrow?"
Yugi smiled slightly, "I've got an idea."
"No. Absolutely not!"
"Aw, Common Moneybags!"
"Yea, Seto just-"
"Mokuba, theris no way were taking that mutt in my jet."
"Well, we're not taking the jet without the mutt! No offense, Jonouchi."
"I can fly the jet just as well as you can. If not, better."
"Please big brother! If they say anything we can give them a parachute and make 'em jump."
Seto Kaiba considered this for a moment then said, " Fine. But I'm not providing anyone parachutes."
"Well, Larry," she said, throwing on a jacket, "I'm off. Now, be a good little fish and guard the prisoners." She turned to one of her minions, "You help him! Do whatever he tells you to."
"Yes Ma'am." He said looking down at the fish which blubbed happily at him. He sighed and thought to himself, How did I get stuck taking orders from a fish?
Anzu Mazaki shouldn't help but think, why me?, as she was thrown into the dark, dank cell and the door clinked finally behind her. How had life gone from perfect to miserable in the corse of an hour?
"Anzu? Anzu!" A familiar voice broke through the darkness and arms wrapped around her.
"Shizuka? Why... why are we here?" She asked her eyes adjusting to the darkness around her.
Shizuka shook her head, "It's that stupid tournament. Yugi and my brother are finalists, so the took us in order to 'motivate' them."
Anzu glanced around the room and her eyes settled on a pale form in the corner. "Who's that?" She asked her companion.
Shizuka shrugged, standing up, "I don't know. They drugged me, I just woke up before you came in."
Then the door opened once more and another girl was thrown in. Shizuka caught her before she hit the ground, "Woa, there." she said.
The girl tore herself away from Shizuka and ran at the door, pounding at it with her small fist. "Let me out!" she cried, "Let me out! Just let me see my sister!" she sobbed out the last sentence giving up on getting out and sinking, crying and sniffling to the ground.
The form in the corner stood, standing to form a ghostly silhouette of a woman. She made her way over to the sobbing girl and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. The girl looked up and gasped, and the ghostly woman pulled her hand back as if the young girl had bitten her. "I'm sorry," she said backing away, "I... you were just... "she sighed, "never mind."
She turned to go back to her corner. "Wait!" Anzu said, "What's your name?"
The girl smiled sweetly, "Kisara. You?"
Anzu smiled at her new friend, "I'm Anzu. This is Shizuka." She turned to the young girl behind her, "Whats your name, sweetie?"
The girl examined Anzu for a moment, then spoke, "Analee. My name is Analee. Why are we here?"
Anzu looked at Shizuka, then back at Analee, "Did you hear about the newest tournament?"
She nodded, "My sister's a finalist."
"That's why you're here."
"Then why are you here?" Analee asked.
"My boyfriend is Yugi Moto."
"Yugi Moto?" Kisara asked.
"King of games?" Analee's eyes light up.
Anzu blushed, "Yup. Thats him."
Analee turned to Shizuka, "My brother is Katsuya Jonouchi, runner up in duelist kingdom."
The small group turned to look at Kisara, waiting for her to speak. "My... um... boyfriend is... Seto Kaiba."
They all stared in amazement. "When did this happen?"
Kisara blushed and hung her head, allowing a startlingly white curtain of hair to fall in front of her face. Analee, seeing her discomfort and hoping to make up for scaring her earlier sated what everyone was thinking, "When will they let us out?"
"Kaiba-boy! how wonderful to see you again!"
Kaiba glared at the man in front of him, "Just give me the clue."
Pegasus sighed, winking at Yugi, "Always so serious." Pegasus took his time taking out the envelopes and passing them out, saving Kaiba's for last. The opened them hurriedly.
