Chapter 4 - Memories and Lies

Kaiba sat next to Yami as he slept beside him. The Yuugi-tachi had begged him to take the amnesia-ridden teen back to the mansion. He only took him back because he wanted some answers. That and Mokuba begged him to when he found out. A question that had been bothering him for a while now: Why had those two men been chasing Yami? He had done nothing wrong. At least, nothing to attract unwanted attention to himself. So what had he done to them to piss them off? No one has the answer and Kaiba Seto doesn't like being kept in the dark like this.

He stood to his feet to grab the water bottle sitting on his desk when the male stirred. "Mm...Hn...?" Yami slowly opened his eyes to see the brunette return to his side.

"Who are you? Where are we?" he asked, confused of the sudden change in location.

Kaiba stared indifferently at the crimson-eyed boy. "My name is Kaiba. We're at my house. I have to get going, though." He walked to the door and paused in the doorway. He glanced back for a moment, saying, "My brother will bring something for you later."

Yami nodded as the male walked away without another word. Moments later, a boy with raven-colored hair and bright blue eyes walked in with a bowl of fruit.

"Hey! I'm Mokuba. Glad to see you're awake, Yami." He handed the bowl to the amnesia-ridden teen. He sat down and asked, "Have you remembered anything?"

Yami shook his head. "The only things I remember is Yuugi, his friends, you and Kaiba. Everything else is a blank." Mokuba nodded his head before standing to his feet and running to the door. He turned around, winking, "I'll be back in about five minutes!"

Yami smiled as the boy ran downstairs. He looked at the bowl before picking at the strawberries. A minute or so passed before the phone rang. He called down, "I've got it!" and picked up the phone.

"Kaiba residence, Yami speaking."

"Hey, Yami! It's me, Yuugi! I'm glad to hear that you're okay!"

"Hello, Yuugi. How are you?" he replied as he pulled out a black notebook that he seemed to always carry around (Don't ask how he knows that. Just roll with it) and picked up a pencil nearby.

He opened it up to a blank page as Yuugi responded, "I've been pretty good!"

Yami began writing things that he remembered down on the notebook. The boy on the other end asked, "Have you remembered anything since yesterday?"

The teen sighed, "Other than you and our friends, there's...the day I met and fought Jounouchi-"

Yuugi laughed on the other line. "Aha ha ha ha ha! Of all things, that's the one thing you remember first?"

Yami ignored the comment and said, "That and...oh, shit."

"What is it?"

"I also remember, much to my dismay, that we have a test tomorrow morning." he replied before taking some of the blueberries and pineapple.

Yuugi was silent for a moment before saying, "Oh, crap, I totally forgot about that! I need to study for it! I'll talk to you later, Yami!"

"Bye." Yami hung up and continued to eat the rest of the fruit. Once he was finished, Mokuba returned with two more bowls full of fruit.

"Here you go, Yami." Mokuba said cheerfully as he traded bowls with him. Yami shot him a puzzled glance.

The child noticed this and laughed, "I was told that you eat a lot. Especially fruit and anything sweet. But I didn't expect you to be finished so soon." The teen smiled and began to eat the fruit.

Mokuba plopped himself onto the bed next to Yami and moaned, "I'm bored!" He turned to him and pulled out a deck of cards, offering, "How about we play a game?"

Yami's eyes glittered with interest. "What kind of game did you have in mind?"

The Yuugi-tachi was on their way to the Kaiba mansion. When they arrived, the saw Kaiba walk briskly out the front door shouting angrily into his cell.

"Look, I don't care! Tell him that he better be there before I am or I'm going to put him in the ground myself! And another thing, tell Tanaka that he had better show up before I get there in ten minutes or the deal is off! No, I'm sick of waiting! My patience is at an end!" He hung up the phone and got into the limo. Within seconds, the car drove away in a hurry down the street.

The blonde watched as the black limo disappeared into the afternoon light and mumbled, "What's his problem?"

Yuugi knocked on the door. A familiar twin opened the door and smiled.

"Hey, guys!" Mokuba called from inside. Yami gestured inside. "Why don't you come in?"

Yami walked back to Mokuba and picked up the cards he left on the ground. Mokuba had eight cards left in his hand. Yami held six. There was a huge pile of cards between them.

Yami mumbled, "What number are we on?" Mokuba smirked and said, "Do you have any fives?"

The crimson-eyed teen pulled out two cards and put them face down on the pile. "Two fives."

Mokuba placed down three cards, saying, "Three sixes."

Yami smirked victoriously and placed down his final four cards. "Four sevens and I win!"

The raven-haired boy stared at the pile in disbelief. "Bullshit! You don't have four sevens!"

The teen pointed to the cards. "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Mokuba flipped over the top four cards. Sure enough, there were four sevens in the pile just like Yami said there were.

"This is bullshit! There's absolutely no way you could've had all of them!" Yami smiled gently.

"Sorry, Mokuba, but I win this round." Honda patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, Mokuba. You'll get better at it. I promise!"

"He's right, you know!" Anzu cheerily replied.

Yuugi sighed, "Well, I'm going to head home now. I only came to check on Yami. I should go home and finish studying for the test tomorrow."

Jounouchi gave him a look. "What test?"

Anzu stared at the blonde in disbelief. "This test was announced two weeks ago! Don't tell me you've forgotten already!"

Jounouchi thought about it for a moment, trying to remember what test they were speaking about. He widened his eyes in realization. "Oh, shit! I need to get home!" He ran out the door, calling, "I'll see you guys tomorrow!"

Honda approached the door and said, "I should probably get home, too. I'll see you guys in the morning."

Yuugi and Anzu waved goodbye to Mokuba and Yami. The raven-haired boy got up and shut the door behind them. He turned his head to Yami, smiling, "One more round, Yami! I'll win this time!"

Yami smirked, "I doubt it! You're going down!"

Yuugi called Mokuba's cell later on in the afternoon. He picked up after the first ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Mokuba. It's me"

"Hey, Yuugi! What's up?"

"Nothing much. How's Yami doing?"

"Yami's doing just fine. Yuugi, I think you're worrying yourself sick over nothing."

"I just want to make sure he's okay."

"Well, stressing yourself over it won't help. You sond like Mother Hen half of the time." Mokuba laughed on the other end.

Yuugi sighs, "Look, Mokuba. I'm just making sure, okay? Can you call me when anything changes?"

"I'll call you tomorrow after school, okay?"

"Okay. Bye."

"See you later, Yuugi!" Mokuba hung up.

Yuugi glances out the window to see what looked like a familiar pink pelt with a rose design on it. It looked left, then right, then crossed the busy street. As it continued padding it's way to the game shop, Yuugi grabbed his jacket and ran downstairs. He opened the door to see not a pink pelt, but a bright red one. Beside it was an ash-colored cat with yellow sparkles. Both of them sat there for a moment before turning tail and running back across the street to the alley they came from. They turned their heads and yowled to him to follow. Having a sense of déjà vü, he ran across the street and ran into the alley. It was just as long as the passage to Yami and Luna's fantasy world. But upon arrival, he felt like he had literally gone back in time. There were dinosaurs everywhere, the sky was orange with grayish-purple clouds scattered on it, and in the distance, there was an active volcano. Looking around for a sign of where he was, he shouted, "Where am I?!"

~A/N: Yami slowly recovering his memory, Yuugi in Ra knows where, and Kaiba pissed as hell. I won't go into detail about Kaiba's life...for now. (wink wink) Let me know if you are a Euro fan! I'll make it worth your while. I'm sorry it took so long to update! I would've had it up a few days ago, but my friend was being such an idiot and bent the flash drive I had my chapters on beyond the point of repair. But it's up now! And another thing: who's cats are those? Please Review! I'll get started on Chapter 5 right away!
