Chapter 4

Yami woke up the next morning intent on making things up to Yugi. He padded down the hall to Yugi's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Yugi, you up? Listen, can we talk?"

When Yami didn't receive an answer he knocked again and slowly opened the door, "Yugi, I just -oh, shit!"

Yugi was gone and so what his backpack. Yami sat down on the bed.

"Shit!"

He quickly went back to his room and changed into a pair of jeans, and a black hoodie. He called his professor and told him that he wasn't gonna be in today. After hanging up from his professor, Yami dialed Bakura.

"Hello?"

"Bakura, its Yami."

"Yeah, no shit. Whaddya want?"

"Is Ryou with you?"

"Yami, we're in bed, what's the problem?"

"Oh, shit 'Kura. I'm sorry, but I need you all's help."

Bakura groaned, "With what? I swear it better not be something-"

"'Kura, Yugi's missing. I need you and Ryou to help me find him."

"Why? Ow! Ryou!"

"'Kura, please. I don't want anything bad to happen to him."

Yami heard Bakura sigh, "Fine, Ryou, and I will help you find your missing boyfriend."

"Thanks, 'Kura, I'll be there in a half an hour."

"We'll be waiting," Bakura said and hung up the phone.

Yami grabbed his wallet and keys and rushed to the car. He gunned the engine and sped down the street toward Ryou and Bakura's. Yugi, where did you go? Why did you leave?" He made it to his friends' house in exactly half an hour. He beeped the horn and both Ryou and Bakura ran out the house. Ryou grabbed the front seat while Bakura sat in the back.

"Do you have any idea where he could've gone?" Ryou asked.

Yami shook his head, "I haven't the slightest idea. I was thinking to maybe start around his home area and work our way from there."

"Sounds good to me," Ryou said.

"I don't even understand why we're out here helping you search for your missing boyfriend," Bakura said.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"But you want him to be, don't you, Yami."

"Bakura, shut up."

"So if he's not your boyfriend, why are we wasting our time looking for him?"

Yami glared at Bakura from the rearview mirror, "Because, Yugi is a fifteen year old pregnant boy. It's not safe for him to be out here in the middle of December."

"Right. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you care about him and may possibly love him."

"Of course I care about him! He's fifteen years old and pregnant."

"Yami, look. I think this might be his house. The mailbox says Mutou on it," Ryou said pointing.

Yami parallel parked the car and got out and walked up to the front door. He knocked on the door and soon a young looking man opened the door.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"Yes, I was looking for Yugi, and I was wondering if he was home by any chance?" Yami asked.

The man frowned, "Yugi no longer lives here."

"Are you his father?"

"I was his father. What do you want?"

"Well, sir, Yugi had been staying with me for several days and he seemed to have run off last night and I was trying to find him. Do you know anyplace that he might go?"

Yami saw a woman come to the door, "The arcade. Yugi loved the arcade."

"Thank you," Yami said and turned to leave.

"Wait, who are you?"

"My name is Yami Sennen, ma'am. I'm a friend of Yugi's."

"Sennen? You're the son of Yori Sennen? The one who owns the game shop downtown?" The man asked.

Yami nodded, "Yes, sir."

"I hope you find Yugi," the woman said and walked away. The man then shut the door.

Yami walked back to the car and got in. He started it up and headed downtown.

"Well?" Bakura asked.

"That was his house. His parents don't know where he is and they don't seem to care. His mother did tell me that Yugi liked to go to the arcade so I figured we can check there."

Yami drove to the arcade and parked the car across the street at the mall. The three boys went in and searched for Yugi, but didn't find him.

"I think we should just leave him be, Tristan."

"Teà, Yugi is sitting in the middle of the food court doing absolutely nothing. We've gotta do something."

Yami perked up when he heard Yugi's name. He walked over to the couple, "Excuse me?"

"Can we help you, man?" Tristan asked.

"Maybe. I heard you talking about a Yugi. Is he by any chance Yugi Mutou?"

The girl named Teà nodded, "Yeah, why?"

"Can you tell me where he is?"

Tristan pointed, "Across the street in the mall at the food court."

"Thanks."

Yami headed back to Ryou and Bakura and then the three of them headed into the mall.

"Wow, I feel like I haven't been here for ages," Bakura said.

"That's cause you haven't. You never wanted to go with me whenever I asked," Ryou said.

Yami walked up to the mall directory and studied it for a few minutes before speaking.

"Food court's on the second floor. Let's hope he's still there."

Ryou put his hand on Yami's shoulder, "Don't worry, Yami, we'll find Yugi, and then you all can talk."
