Chapter 3: The Legend

Yugi's POV

~Friday, October, 29th Year 2000 Who Cares?!~

I feverishly swept at the floor, trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. The club opens everyday at about six pm; mostly because of the many high school students that come here after school. After five days of working in the Akura Club of Acceptance I'd finally figured out why it was best to get out of here before the club opened. It wasn't so much a bad club as it was a more intense atmosphere than I was used to.

People dancing on table tops and making out in the corners wasn't really something I could just ignore.

It turns out the ACA is a club for the LGBT community; talk about Ironic (1). But, other than the ideal name choice, my first time there wasn't that bad at all.

I met a lot of nice people while I was still cleaning up; and they were actually not that bad. We talked, they bought me drinks, we laughed; it was pretty great. But then one of the dancers got sick and had to go home; and everything went down hill from there.

~*~*~Flashback~*~*~

"Yugi, one of the dancers just got sick and has to go home; could you take their place for half an hour? The replacement should be here by then." Akefia pleaded with me. I couldn't respond as coolly as I'd wanted; given how much shock the question had hammered into my skull. "Y-You're joking right?" I practically whined while clutching onto the broom I was holding for dear life.

"Come on, shrimp, we could do this the easy way or the hard way." Akefia threatened with my small stature. His arms meaningfully planted themselves on either side of my face. I gulped down the lump of pure horror stuck in my throat. Whenever anyone said that, it meant I was in for a world of pain or a light beating.

I looked up at him with fear stricken eyes. "W-What do I have t-to do?" I stuttered out knowing good and well I wouldn't like the answer.

He smiled down at me, thanking me for my cooperative nature, and then bent down to whisper in my ear. "All you have to do is dance on the counter-top of the bar till the replacement shows up. Then you can go home and play your silly little card games." He teased.

At the last part I had to roll my eyes and fight not to make a comeback. Sure I was a big card game fanatic, but I didn't screw around playing card games all the time!

"Fine." I said agreeing to his terms and then putting the broom to the side so no one would trip on it, and get hurt. I began walking to the bar with the courage I'd summoned. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad?

A hand gripped my shoulder and flung me back. Akefia stared down at me with confusion. I imagined my face looked the same. "What?" I asked. Clearly not understanding why he'd pulled me back.

Akefia looked at my confused face with unease. "You know you can't go up there looking like that right?" He asked me in an almost snarky way, pointing at my school uniform in repulsion to the cheap fabric.

My naïveté betrayed me and I cocked an eyebrow. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I looked down at my uniform. There weren't any stains, rips, tears, or anything noticeable to the human eye. What was he talking about?

Akefia sighed in delight and smiled at me. "Just follow me sukoshi baka (2), We'll fix you up real nice so you'll blend riiiiight in." He said beginning to pull me to the back room. I couldn't help but question is uppity mood about getting me new clothes. But, having no fighting experience, all I could do was follow him and do what he told me to. If I didn't he could always blackmail me.

Anyone standing out side the room at the time would have been witness to my girlish shrieks for help. Either no one was near the door or they simply just ignored it, because when I came out running from Akefia I was already dressed in an outfit of all white leather. The ends of the tight fitting pants were decorated with shimmering feathers of white, meant to look like angel wings. The seemingly leather shirt was in fact not leather at all and was see through! Atop my head was a head band with a wire attached to a brightly colored white halo that hovered over my head. He'd also managed to get white tennis shoes on me that had wings attacked to the sides look as though if I took a running start I'd begin to fly.

Ten minutes later Akefia had found me, and I'd had no choice but to dance, I'd gotten into the wings that I had yet to put on and then Akefia pushed me onto the counter top of the bar without a hint of regret. I wabbled slightly tryin to stand up straight as shimmering white light lit the "stage"; making my outfit look as if it were glowing. The crowd clapped and cheered, finally having an angle on set to dance for them. My cheeks blushed bright red in embarrassment. To my surprise they clapped louder for me. I was confused and exposed, what to do? "Psst!" A hiss sounded out from behind me.

I turned to see Akefia leaning on the back wall. He made a few steps toward me and cupped his hands over his mouth so that I could hear over the music. "Just be yourself and dance!" He encouraged.

A lump in my throat wavered down to my core and I shook my head. I was no dancer in the first place when I'd agreed to this and now I just felt like I'd come to school in my underwear. While I fretted over this, however, I didn't see the devil walking toward me like a cat finally having found its prey. Only when a tanned arm wrapped around my shoulder did I happen to notice that I was now side by side with my new dance partner.

I gasped and look up at the sudden pressure, his sandy blond hair hung low and poked my in the nose as I tried to look around to his face. His skin, tanned to perfection, pulled back along his muscles making him look somehow slightly appealing. A purple devil costume clung to his muscles like leather and made every curve on his body pop. "Hey, you new?" he asked lightly his lavender eyes looking over me playfully. His face held a genuine smile that told me he was only curious and wasn't trying to be rude to me. I nodded my head trusting in this new and friendly face.(3)

The tall man smiled at me and patted my head. " I understand, just follow my lead and you should be fine, alright?" He reassured me with his soothing yet deep voice. I nodded, agreeing to be like a puppy he could do with as he please.

He moved my arms above my head and then pulled them down slowly show the crowd my submission. Some of the guys in the crowd whistled at me and the person now controlling my movements as he lifted my leg around his waist and bent me forward, giving me I nice view of the very upside down crowd. I blushed with embarrassment and avoid eye contact with the people below. This only seemed to encourage the large group to gawk and get louder, screaming their joy into the the wooden area making the music sound dull in comparison. This was going to be a long thirty minutes...

~Thirty Minutes Later~

After the replacement showed up I got off the counter as quickly as possible, making the crowd boo and groan. Honestly I'd been flattered by this, but I knew it wasn't right for me to stay up there. I quickly changed back into my school uniform and prepared to leave. Worst first day on the job yet...and there was still more to come.

~*~End Flashback~*~

I shook my head from that I horrid first day and quickly continued my sweeping. Back to what I'd been saying. On the day that the two thieves had asked me for help I thought it had been hilarious, but as the explained to me my amusement was replaced with pity. As I'd known before Halloween wasn't far away at all. Their plan was to have me decorate the whole club in the designs they'd drawn out; or , if possible, make it better than what they had drawn out onto the blueprints.

All I had to do is work here until Halloween and dress up the club for the all hallows eve. Pretty simple. Bringing me to ask again, why didn't they just ask instead of kidnapping me? Bakura's words rung in my ear again. 'If we would have told you out in the open you would have run away and laughed in our faces, this way you have to say yes because if you say no we wont tell you how to get back home.'

"Hey Yugi, I think the floor is clean enough." An amused voice brought me out of my thoughts with a jolt. I looked up to see sandy blond hair and lavender eyes staring me down with a grin. "Oh hey Marik, you're early today." I smiled up at the purple clad male in front of me. This was the person I'd had the unexpected honor of dancing with that night. Marik Ishtar. We'd become good friends since the night we'd he'd strung me around like a puppet and he told me he'd been working here for a about two to three months now.

He raised his hand to the back of his neck awkwardly and then looked at me confusedly. "Actually Yugi, I'm not here for work today. Didn't Kura and Akef tell you that the club doesn't open today?" Marik asked me , arching one of his eyebrows up. The broom I held in my hand dropped to the floor, my fingers, not having the strength to hold it anymore. My pupils became tiny marble like circles in my eyes and my head could feel all the weight gravity was helping it ignore. I looked down at the floor blankly. Coming to the realization.

So I didn't have to sweep the floor for the past hour? I didn't have to come here in the first place!? My eye began twitching slightly. I biked 10 miles for nothing!?

Marik looked down at me with concerned eyes. Who wouldn't I looked like a stunned squirrel! "Yugi, you ok? You don't look so good." Marik inquired.

Before he could say anything more, I turned on my heals and marched straight to the back room. I was going to mutilate the two albinos; and no one would stop me.

My pale fingers found the doorknob to the back room and twisted. "Yugi, wait!" Marik yelled, finally snapping back to the reality of the situation.

The door slammed open with such force the very ground shook under my feet. I looked into the dark room with anger and discomfort. Why were the freaking lights off!? I asked myself agitatedly. I was getting mad at just about anything now, the fact that Bakura and Akefia had told me to come into work today and the club wasn't even going to open just pissed me off!

I couldn't see very well into the room and this proved to make me even more irritated, letting my hands swat at the walls on either side of me looking for the small switch.

Finding the stupid switch, I immediately flicked it upwards and turned to face the room. But, instead of finding the thief king and Bakura lounging about, I found something that made me wanna run away. (A/N: get your mind out of the gutter!)

"SURPRISE!" Nine people yelled at me. Well actually eight people, one just grumbled with his arms folded, not looking in my direction at all.

My worse nightmares had finally come true. That or I was dead and I'd gone to hell. The whole room of considered a dressing room, once filled with costumes, mirrors, and inventory was not cleared out for tables a big banner and there were present and food spread out everywhere.

Joey and Honda came right up to me and blew paper horns right in my face. I covered my ears at the loud noise and squinted my eyes shut. it sounded like baby elephants where trying to kill me.

When I was sure they were done, and the sounds of the imaginary elephants had faded away, I opened my amethyst eyes to glare at them.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUG'!" The Blond and the Brunette shouted into my face with big cheesy grins on their face.

They'd thrown me a surprise party...yup, I'm definitely in hell.

"Guys I thought I told you I didn't want to celebrate my birthday, plus its tomorrow why are you doing this today?" I complained tiredly. I'd wanted to stop celebrating my birthday about two years ago, but Joey and Honda always found a way to force me to celebrate. this was the worst one out of them all.

"Yug' if we had done it tomorra you woulda suspected us. That and this is the only day we could get the club all to ourselves without having to pay for it." Joey explained while putting a party hat on my head.

"How did you even know I worked here?" I asked embarrassedly, surely I hadn't told anyone and Bakura and Akefia told me they wouldn't tell anyone.

Joey's cheeks redden and he looked in the other direction avoiding eye contact with me. "Well...I was hea about five days ago and saw you dancing on the counta top with Marik over thea...you looked...eh...nice?" Joey treaded through his sentence carefully. He obviously was making an effort not to get on my bad side, It wouldn't be fair of me to put his efforts to waste by yelling at him...or asking him why he was in the ACA club in the first place...

"Thanks, I know I looked hot." I said giving him a smile and winking making Joey look at me with a puzzled expression.

"What?" I asked him, damn well knowing already that he didn't know how to respond to that. "Eh...moving on! Aw you ready foa the pawty to stawt!?" He asked me wrapping his arm around my shoulder in a friendly way.

I groaned in annoyance. I never liked parties, but I guess with only ten people it wont be that bad. I looked at the people around me. There was Malik, Joey, Anzu, Seto, Akefia, Bakura, Mokuba, Atem, and Icuo. I tilted my head. Why were their two teachers here?

Bakura saw my confused face and followed my gaze. "Oh, Seto is here because he payed for most of this and he's a regular at the club. Icuo, heard you were having a party and wanted to come." Bakura said shrugging at the two teachers.

"Oh...Well I guess I can enjoy my own party, as long as you guys have sweets." I said giving in. I still didn't want to make anyone upset, after all they had given me a party I might actually want to remember this year.

Joey beamed at me and grabbed my hand pulling my over to the sweets. "We got plenty Yug'. We know how much of a sweet tooth ya aw." he smiled at me knowing he'd done a good job. I sighed and patted his arm. "Ok, you got me, could you stop smiling at me like that though?" I said getting uncomfortable with his happy atmosphere.

"Ok, Yug' whateva ya say." he said trying to shorten his smile, though it didn't help much seeing as it was stretched from ear to ear. I rolled my amethyst eyes and picked up a chocolate brownie looking at it with hungry eyes. Even though I loved sweets they made me very hyper. I looked up at Joey for a second giving him a glare. "Joe, make sure I don't eat too many sweets alright?" I pleaded with him, trying to make sure I wouldn't have just recovered from a sugar coma when I wake up tomorrow.

"You got it Yug'." Joey said giving me a nod and pointing at the brownie and then my mouth.

I turned back to the fudge coated dessert and my eyes gleamed. Why not? I asked myself popping it into my mouth. Little did I know that Ryou had made the cake.

~*~Many sugar filled hours later~*~

Me and Ryou were laughing on the floor like nuts. It had gotten dark out, a very long time ago so we used the moon from the window for light. We'd played truth or dare about five times and the last one Joey had to put on a dog costume.

"I'm sorry Joe but that is fu-nny!" I said chuckling heavily on the floor.

Ryou flicked one of Joe's ears and started giggling. "Even a British wanker looks better than that Joey!" Ryou said bursting into more fits of laughter.

Joey pouted at us and sunk his head lower making the chain around his neck jingle. "Its not funny you guys! Who does that Kaiba guy think he is anyway!? Makin me whea a dog costume. He's not my teacha any mowa, I can kick his ass." Joey said lifting his hands in the air and forming fists. Which only sought to make him look cute with the paws that had come with the costume. I laughed even harder, rolling around on the cold floor.

Just then Akefia came back into the room carrying an unknown object. Following after him was Seto, Bakura, and Icuo. "Gather round little ones, as I tell you the tale of The Spider King." He said sitting up in a corner on the far side of the room.

Ryou and I exchanged looks and then shrugged. Couldn't be that bad to at least listen. We scooted over to a spot ten feet away from Akefia to listen to the story. Neither of us ad heard the story before so we were a bit excited. Unfortunately, it seemed everyone else had. Seto, Bakura and Icuo sat down groaning, sighing, and whimpering (A/N: In order from person to action.)

Seto smirked in Joeys direction, seeing as he hadn't come to join us, and started whistling. "Come on mutt, come to your new master." He said teasingly.

Smoke came out of Joe's ears and he snarled. "Hell no. You don't own me Kaiba bastawd." Joey huffed in response.

Seto shrugged. "Suit yourself pup." He said with a tone almost daring Joey to resist.

Joey, though, was strong spirited and ignored Kaiba.

"Ahem!" A voice cleared its self out and urged us to listen.

Akefia was ready to tell the tail and I was ready to listen.

Akefia stood and looked at all of us then smiled wickedly letting his incisors threatened anyone that moved. "Ladies and gentle men, lend me your ears as I tell you the dreaded tale of The Spider King. A man killed by lightning, walking the grounds of his resting place at all hours, and forced into eternity as a half man half spider..." Akefia said setting the mood for the story with an eerie intro.

Ryou and I where bouncing up and down beside each other. We wanted so very much to know tail we weren't even paying attention to the 'actors that walked towards Akefia.

Atem was dressed in a long black cape, but behind it looked to be a pair of three arms on each side. He also had long, sharp, comical fangs sprouting from his mouth and covering his lips. Atem wasn't a complete stranger to me, he'd asked me out one time, but I turned him down because I wasn't ready for a relationship.

Tea came in next with a simple white apron on. Me and Anzu go way back, she's been protecting me since I first started coloring with crayons. She's strong, smart, and kind of pretty; the perfect big sister.

After shed finished walking, Mokuba came up and stood off to the side.

"Ahem. It all started on the day before Halloween; All Hallows Eve. When a storm was brewing and someone fell to their knees. A cry or two is not what they heard, but a shrill giggle for the man eating spider..." Akefia said in his mysterious tone. He then walked away leaving the actors to tell the tale.

I clapped with excitement and joy, the story was already pulling me in and they hadn't even started yet. The candy must have been really getting to me because I didn't even feel awkward with the fact that I was the only one who clapped. Not even Ryou, who had had as many sweets as I.

When the scene started Tea began pretending to cook something. She dipped an imaginary spoon in tasting it and making a face to whether it was good or not. Apparently it didn't taste very good because her face scrunched up in disguised. She immediately grabbed imaginary spices and peppered the poorly tasting food in salt.

Before she could do more Atem's tanned arms were around her waist and his chin rested on her shoulder. She smiled and chuckled.

(This is just the play from this point)

Tea: Hi there.

Atem: (he places a kiss to her cheek) Hey.

Tea: How are you? I know you were kind of upset about not being able to go out with the guys. Are you alright now?

Atem: Of course, who needs guys night anyway. (shrugs) In the mean time I can play with my son in our Halloween costumes.(He lets go of her) By the way. How do I look?

Tea: (she puts her hand on her chin in thought) Hmm...(mock shiver) I'm getting arachnophobic just looking at you. (small smile)

Atem: (smirking and winking) Perfect.

Tea: (giggles) Ok, now taste this for me and tell me what it needs. (she put the imaginary spoon to his mouth)

Atem: (opens his mouth to taste it but then makes a face) Uh...its..great, you're a wonderful cook. Keep up the good work. (he quickly runs out looking a bit green)

Tea: Be careful out there! there's a storm coming! (looks at food) Huh, I could have sworn it was awful. (shrug) Oh well.

(outside)

Atem: Sam! Where are you!? Your mother says there's a storm coming.

Mokuba: Daddy! Look at the sky its scary!

Atem: (looks up) I see lightning we might want to get inside.

Mokuba: (runs off without him noticing)

Atem: (looking around) Sam? Sam! Where did you go?

(The sound of lightning striking)

Atem: AHH! (shakes violently and then falls to the ground)

Tea: (looking outside for her son and her husband) Sam! Yami!? Where are you two!?

Mokuba: (poking Atem) Daddy...wake up...daddy...

Tea: (sees them and pulls Mokuba away) Yami! Are you alright!?

Atem: (no reply)

Mokuba: (looking straight over his body) Daddy Spider...

Tea: (looks where Mokuba is looking and sees nothing) A daddy long leg? Where?

Mokuba: (shaking his head and jumps from her arms pointing above Atems body) Daddy Spider!

Atem: (standing up looking at Mokuba with sad eyes) My son...

Mokuba: (giggling) Daddy has eight arms!

Tea: (grabs Mokuba's hand) That's enough! Daddy is not a spider.

Mokuba: (pointing at Atem) But daddy spider right there!

Tea: Stop it! We have to go call the EMTs or something. Come with Mommy.

Mokuba: (runs to Atem) Me wanna stay with daddy spider!

Tea: (picks him up and takes him away)

Atem: (looks down at his body) I'm dead...(looks at my arms) And now I'm a monster...(walks away)

(end dialogue)

Akefia came back and gave us all a crooked smirk. "As much as Yami tried to fight it, he was a monster indeed. He could only survive as a ghost by feeding off of others and scaring the hell out of people. He lives his sad existence in that abandoned manor and awaits his next victim. whether it be you," He pointed at Icuo who whimpered in response. "You?" He pointed at Ryou next to me who swallowed down a bulk in his throat. "Or..." He strolled my way and sunk low on his knees to whisper in my ear." You." He purred eerily into my ear. I hivered with wide eyes as he backed away with his sinister smile.

He turned on his flashlight and lifted it to his face. "And that my friends is the tale of The Spider King! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He said laughing manically.

Even though my mood was killed by the story, I was curious. Was it true? or just a load of crap that Akefia told us to scare us. "So, Akefia, how do you see the so called 'Spider King'? Does he just come out and eat you or do you need to provoke it?" I asked casually.

Akefia rubbed the back of his neck, he obviously hadn't thought anyone would ask that question. "Well...he likes...little kids...and...um...flash lights that go on and off." he said clicking his flashlight making his face look like a one man rave.

"Oh, is that so? You wouldn't mind if I checked it out would you?" I asked him teasingly. I wanted to see how far he'd go with this 'little story'.

He paled visibly for a second then shook it off and looked at me. "Ok, tell me your going now though so I can call in for your replacement. The Manor is down the street, be my guest." He said smugly, almost like he was saying I didn't have the guts to do it.

But then again, I had to ask myself. Did I? Did I really have the guts to go inside the Abandoned Manor and confront The Spider King? Or was I just talking...

I sighed and looked at Akefia. "I wont go today, too dark out for that right now. Maybe tomorrow..." I said not wanting to look like a wuss.

To my surprise Akefia nodded in approval. "Wise choice."

And the night went on with scary story after scary story; but the only one I could think about was the Spider King. For some reason I felt pity in the pit of my stomach telling me I needed to help him. But how? I certainly wasn't going to find out today.

Whatever happens though, I needed to find out; and soon.

End of chapter three! yay!

(1) Its ironic because they accept everyone in there for who they are.

(2) Sukoshi baka means little idiot. XD

(3) This was suppose to be Atem's part but I changed it because I didn't want to confuse anyone by blind shipping this.

Also instead of using Abridged Marik I think I went with Canon Marik...maybe?

Yami: Spider king? really?

Ice: *pouts* Lemme have my fun!

Yugi: It is her story, can't really say anything about it.

Yami: *looks at the next chapter* What the hell!

Ice: Don't look!

Yami: But you-

Icuo: *shoots him with a tranquilizer dart* No spoilers.

Yami: X.X

Yugi: *sighs* he never learns...

Ice: Ok everyone! Sorry for the VERY late update, if anyone is still following I love you! If you quit on me OMR how could you!? It only took so long because I rewrote it ten times and I'm sorry!

Icuo: 10 reviews and you get the next chapter.

Ice: tell me what you like what you hate if its good if its bad what could change, and all that fun stuff XD (also I'm thinking about changing the name, tell me if I should or shouldn't or give me ideas for names.)

Icuo: And remember that we love you all *holds up his hands to make a heart*

Ice: SEE YA NEXT TIME! (Next chapter we get to see Yugi's Halloween costume!)

Yugi: Its actually kinda nice I like it...
