Chapter 5 - Taki Kumeo Valentine
Yuugi continued wandering around the odd world as he could not return to his own world. The cave had walked out of had collapsed upon itself, blocking his only exit. With no other clue to where he should go, he set off towards the jungles. He had spent what felt like hours in the tree filled area searching desperately for a way out.
He heard a soft mew at his feet. Looking down, he spotted the red colored cat rubbing up against him. Seeing his big orange eyes, Yuugi watches the strange ball of fluff as it slowly pads backwards. When it turned tail and fled, Yuugi curiously followed after it.
The ash-colored cat followed close behind. Where they were leading him was a question that would soon be answered.
"Look, I don't care! I've got meetings for the rest of this week. I don't have time for-. Oh, so I'm supposed to be his babysitter or something?! What? No, I haven't seen Yuugi, why? He's your problem, not mine! Go find him yourself!"
The enraged brunette hung up and slammed the phone back onto the receiver. Jounouchi had called saying that Yuugi had mysteriously disappeared. Mokuba had called him just an hour before saying that Yami had gone missing. The teen had vanished without a trace. Without a sign as to where he would've run off to, the brunette was forced to leave Mokuba in charge of searching for him. He could see how tonight was going to go.
His secretary walked into his office. She looked at him nervously. He growled, "What is it this time?"
She said, "Someone's here to see you and won't leave without seeing you."
Kaiba rolled his eyes at the thought of someone demanding his presence. He stood to his feet and followed after her. Once they got into elevator, Kaiba asked, "Who wants to see me?"
"He never told me his name. However, I've never seen anyone with crimson eyes before." she mentions as the door opens. "Crimson eyes?" he mumbled to himself. Who did he know that had crimson eyes?
Once she brought him over to the mystery man, Kaiba widened his eyes at the sight. Dismissing the secretary, he pulled out his cell and immediately called Jounouchi. He picked up after the second ring.
"Hello?" the blonde asked from the other end.
The brunette got straight to the point. "Jounouchi, I've found him."
"You found Yuugi?!"
"No, I found Yami." He corrected.
"Really?! Where is he?!" Jounouchi asked quickly.
Kaiba glanced back to the boy in front of him. "He's sitting right here in front of me."
Yuugi was brought to the top of the volcano. He thought about running, but the cats nudged him forward. The red-colored cat picked up a flower with white petals with black stripes on it and brought it over to the opening. Yuugi watched as said cat disappeared into the hot magma, flower, tail, and all.
The ash-colored feline picked out the same flower and brought it to him. He hesitated for a moment before taking it from its mouth. The violet-eyed teen followed it as it walked through the magma without hesitation. Yuugi looked at the flower for a moment before taking a deep breath and stepping through, praying he doesn't die.
The brunette had brought Yami up to his office and locked the door.
He turned to him. "What are you doing here, Yami?! Don't you know that you're friends are worried sick about you?!" the CEO shouted.
The crimson-eyed male leaned against the wall, smiling. "What does it matter? I'm here now."
"That's the thing. You're not supposed to be here!"
"Why not?" he asked in a perverse tone. He pushed himself off of the wall and approached him.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Kaiba demanded.
"What does it look like to you?" Yami countered, walking closer to him. Something clicked in his head.
"Don't even think about it." he growled.
"Too late." Yami smirked before slamming his back into the wall and holding him by his throat.
Kaiba began choking for air as the male said something in a different language.
"حيث يمكنك يختبئون معه؟" Confused at the sudden change in language, Kaiba struggled to breathe and attempted to free himself.
Giving up a second later, he choked, "What are you saying?!"
Yami's eyes began turning gold as he said, ""قلت،" حيث يمكنك يختبئون معه؟ "
Kaiba's mind kicked into defensive mode as his foot connected with the teen's stomach. Yami released him in an instant. "Damn you!" he growled before Kaiba pushed him into the wall and demanded, "Why are you here?! Who are you?!"
Yami didn't respond, but instead, he swung out his leg, tripping the brunette. Once the male quickly stood to his feet, crimson met azure before both pulled out a knife and clashed.
At that moment, Mokuba appeared in Kaiba's office...with the rest of the Yuugi-tachi.
"Nii-sama? What's going on here?!" the raven-haired child asked before Yami looked between them and fled for the window. Kaiba watched him as Jounouchi and Honda went to grab him. Anzu cried, "Yami, where are you going?!"
The tri-color haired teen glanced behind him from the now open window and said, "Au revoir, mes amis. We will see each other again soon." before jumping. Once they reached it, they searched the direction he had fallen in. He was nowhere to be seen. The only thing they saw was a pair of black feathery wings blending into the night sky, soon disappearing without a trace.
Upon entry, Yuugi was quite shocked that he couldn't feel burned anywhere at all and the flower he held was still intact. Not a single mark on the delicate object.
The inside of the volcano surpassed his expectations. In fact, it was kinda like something out of a fairytale. The walls were made of shiny black rock and there were glowing crystals here and there in the walls, on the ceiling, the ground, everywhere. He instinctively followed the cats believing he would get lost otherwise.
All three walked into a room that looked like a throne room in a palace. Yuugi couldn't help looking around since the room was much bigger than he thought it was. A woman with brown hair and hazel eyes sat upon the throne as they walked in. She looked at lot like Luna.
*That's strange* Yuugi thought to himself as the girl smiled. "You must be Mutou Yuugi. I've heard may things about you. My pets brought you here, it seems."
He looks at the furballs at his feet. "These are yours?"
Nodding, she introduced them. "The red one is Orephos and the ash one is Soret. I believe you've met my twin sister?"
Violet met hazel as the male asked, "You mean you and Luna are sisters?!"
She tilted her head. "Is that what she's calling herself? Interesting..." she mumbled to herself before screams were heard from a nearby room. Yuugi jumped in shock at the sudden noise. The girl rolled her eyes.
"Oh, don't worry too much about it. I'll deal with it." she assured him as she stood to her feet and walked over to the door. She opened it and walked in, closing it behind her.
Curious as to what was about to transpire, the tri-color haired teen approached the door cautiously, afraid to know what was inside. There was, conveniently enough, a window next to the door to watch everything unfold.
Yuugi widened his eyes at the sight. He saw Yami bound by chains on his wrists, his ankles, and his neck. He was chained to the wall like some sort of restrained animal. He crept over to the door and cracked it a little so he could hear them.
"Damn you, child! Stop with this game of yours! My decision stands and nothing will change that!" Yami shouted. The brunette smiled at him.
"Is that so? That's a shame. I thought we could talk this over, but, if you insist, I have other methods of making one talk." she said with a hint of irritation. She pulled out some sort of ball that sparked with a blue electrical charge. She gently touched a side of the sphere and a charge was sent through the chains. Yami bit his tongue, holding down the cry that threatened to escape as he endured the pain.
"So that's how it's going to be, is it? Two can play at that game, love!" She pressed harder into the sphere's side. Yuugi gasped when the charge could be seen from where he stood. Yami inhaled sharply under the intense shock. He couldn't give in just yet. The brunette pushed into the sphere even harder. Yami felt like he was about to collapse under the torture he was forced to take.
"I know you can't last forever!" she began raising her voice as she practically broke the sphere's side. Once cracks formed on the blue ball, the electrical charge surging through the chains seemed to thicken until it was twice the size it was before.
As Yami screamed in pain, Yuugi flinched and covered his ears. It was painful to only stand by and watch this happen to someone he loved and cared for. His thoughts suddenly stopped. Why did he think of it that way?
Once the screaming had died down, Yuugi looked through the window to check on Yami. The teen panted for breath as he recovered his strength. The female smirked, satisfied to have tortured him for a minute or three. She asked innocently, "Ready to talk now?"
Yami stared defiantly into her hazel eyes and said, "Just wait until Sakura finds out about this, Valentine Taki Kumeo!"
Hearing that name, Yuugi began thinking, *Taki...Taki...Why does that name sound familiar to me?*
~A/N: Well, I'm gonna bet that almost, if not everyone, is so confused right about now. Who is this girl and who is Sakura? He he, well, you'll find out in the next chapter!
Yami: I thought I was past this bullshit!
Yuugi" Who is this girl?! What does she want from you, Yami?!
Yami: You'll have to be patient , Yuugi. You'll see in Chapter 6, just like everyone else would.
Sakura: And yes, I involved Arabic, but don't kill me if it's wrong! Please Review!
