Yugi was horrified to find out that his best friend was missing, "H...How! We were together until just little while ago...!"
"Yeah it's strange...when they heard him scream and went to look, the only thing left was his broom..." Asami replied in a stress tone.
Bakura looked concern, "Could it be...the guys that were after Yugi's wings before mistook that boy for Yugi?" Yugi looked alarmed, then it means the culprit were demons! Ryou was in danger.
"We..we have to hurry and look for him..!" Hiro said getting up from his sit.
Asami frowned slightly, "But...how can we...?"
"I...I will...act as bait..!" Yugi finally declared and everyone in the room didn't seem like they approve on his idea, "If they're after my wings, they'll definitely appear..." Yugi explained looking determined.
Asami shook her head, "Wh...what are you saying...!"
"That's right, it's too dangerous for Yugi to be the bait...!" Hiro agreed.
Yugi bit his lip in a frustrated manner, "But...it's my fault that Ryou is..."
"That's why there's no way we can intentionally put you in that much danger." Bakura pointed out rubbing his temple at the same time.
"Then...is there another way...?" Yugi asked but Bakura did not answer him, "While we're here, who knows what dangers Ryou is gone through...!" Yugi cried out sounding piss off, "Ryou is...and Ryou is my precious friend..!"
"I understand." Yami got up from his sit, both of his hands were in his pocket, "I'll help out." Yugi looked at him with a surprise face, "It's certainly dangerous, and even at the best of times you're not very sharp...but I won't let anyone lay a finger on you." He stated looking down at his little one. Yugi could feel his heart thumping madly and his face going red from Yami's words.
Hiro's jaw dropped, "This is crazy Yami...!"
Yugi grinned, "It's okay dad, mom."
"How can you be so confident?" Asami asked worriedly.
"Because...you see, I have these three strong crow demons to protect me."
Hiro was embarrassed, "Hmm...I wouldn't go that far..." He said in a dreamy voice feeling glad his son thinks he's strong.
"Guess there's no helping it..." Bakura smirked. Yami rolled his eyes at the pairs.
Asami sighed pushing her small glasses up, "..but promise me that you absolutely won't do anything dangerous..." She said to her son with her arms rested on his shoulder. Yugi smiled and nodded his head.
"All right, then let's go...!" Hiro announced and they made to the door.
"Yami..." Yami stopped on his track when he felt a small tug from behind him, "Thank you..." Yugi said in a quiet and grateful voice.
Yami looked at him from the corner of his eyes before he turned around and continue walking, "Hmph...It's no big deal. I just feel sorry for the boy that was mistaken for you." He said.
Yugi's face filled with rage this time, "WHAT! YOU JERK!"Yugi jumped onto Yami's back and the others just stood back feeling amused.
"Yami...are you there? YAMI!"
Yami looked confuse when he heard someone call him, "Wha...what...?"
"I can hear Serenity's voice but..." Yugi looked around the room but did not see his friend.
"YAMI!"
The voice came from the mirror that was located near the kitchen. A relieve smiling Serenity stood in the mirror, "Oh! So you are there...!" Serenity grinned when she saw Yugi, "Hm? You're there too Yugi?"
Yugi slowly nodded his head, "More importantly what's up...!"
Serenity uneasily scratched her head, "...Ah...the thing is..."
Everyone in the Mutou's household faces looked shocked when they saw what was in the mirror. "Ry...Ryou...!" Yugi exclaimed in shock. His friend was currently unconscious lying in Kaiba's lap.
"Hmm? He's your friend, Yugi?" Serenity asked.
"WHY IS HE AT THE SM ACADEMY...!" Yugi cried out.
Serenity glared at the two guys behind her, "It's these guys' fault." Pointing at the guilty Joey and Noah.
Joey looked apologetic, "The...the truth is..."
Yami crumbled the piece of paper in his hand, "We're stopping the search for Yugi!" He announced angrily walking away leaving everyone shocked at his command.
Boy's dormitory...
"All right, let's look for Yug by ourselves!" Joey said.
Kaiba had a thoughtful face on,"But it'd be better for us not to act carelessly..."
"WHAT'S THAT! YOU DON'T WANT YUG TO COME BACK!" Joey asked with disbelief.
The door to their room suddenly swung opened, "Well that I'll help you." Noah said with twinkle in his eyes.
"Noah...!"
"I can make a hole that leads to the human world." He announced and bright beam slowly formed in his hands.
"AMAZING!" Joey grinned and Kaiba had a feeling something was gonna go wrong.
A church was seen in Noah's portal, "Yugi's presence is pulsing from this church."They all saw the small Yugi busying sweeping the floor and then Noah's portal disappears.
"HEY, THE HOLE DISAPPEARED...!" Joey shouted out.
Noah sighed, "I...I totally forgot I have to be in my older demon form or I can't continue the spell for very long..."
"THEN HURRY UP AND TRANSFORM!"
"IT'S NOT THAT EASY..."
Kaiba had an ice-cream sundae in his hands, "It looks like this is going to take a while..." He thought.
"I'll try one more time." Noah with all his strength summons another portal.
"Huh! There's no one there." Joey pointed as Yugi was no longer seen in the portal.
Noah looked pale and has sweats pouring down his face, "Pl...please look carefully...I can't my limit is..."
Joey quickly looked through the portal, "EH! AH...AH-!" He spotted a figure outside the church with a broom in their hands, "HE'S THERE YUG...!"
"HURRY AND PULL HIM OVER HERE...!"
"Here goes!" Joey grabbed the figure and they heard a scream before the figure fainted to the ground. Kaiba stopped eating his ice-cream and looked at the unknown male before looking back at his two friends.
"...and that's what happened." Joey explained as he and Noah looked at the ground in shame.
Serenity rolled her eyes, "Well, that's how it is, so please hurry back from the human world. See you." And the mirror turned back to normal.
Yami clenched his fist, "Those guys, interfering..." He was lost when Yugi crumple to the floor, "Yugi!"
Yugi was laughing hard, "Ah, that's great!"
Yami sat beside him looking confused, "It's great?"
Yugi happily nodded his head, "Yup, cause Ryou is safe..."
"I see...well that's true."
Yugi flinched when he felt an angry aura behind him, "Jeez where you monsters are concerned...you ignore the common sense the rest of us have and only bring trouble! Just how am I going to explain this to Ryou's parents...?" Everyone sweats dropped from Asami's outburst. Yami was slowly sneaking out, "HURRY UP AND BRING HIM BACK! QUICKLY!" With that everyone dashes out.
"Whew...Yugi's mom sure is scary. But hot." Bakura chuckled.
Hiro looked worriedly, "You...you're not interested in Asami-chan are you...?" He asked nervously.
"Nah, if you're talking about the two of them, I much prefer the son..." Bakura grinned and Yami shoot him a glare. Yugi looked up in the sky and saw a crow flying toward the, "Oh, Carl, what is it?" He took the note from the crow.
We are headed back to Hyakki. Bakura hurry back too! Hyakki is boring without you here.
Loves, Anzu and Miho
"Anzu went home...?" Yugi asked curiously as he managed to peek at Bakura's letter.
Yami's eyes were on the ground, "Of course she did." He replied and Yugi looked at him.
"See you later, I'm going home for now." Bakura announced with a smirk before he hugs Yugi, "See you next time little boy."
"NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!" Yami yelled out in anger and Bakura laughed while walking off. Yugi looked concernly at the piss off Yami before his dad spoke up.
"That's right, I have something I have to do too...sorry, but you two head back to SM Academy." Hiro explained and Yugi's eyes widen.
If his dad leaves that mean it would be only him and Yami left. "You can't dad..."
"See you Yugi." Hiro smiled before skipping off leaving a speechless Yugi behind. Yugi helpless watched at his dad retreating figure before slowly glance at Yami.
"Did you have a good break?" Yami asked all a sudden.
Yugi raised his eye brow, "Eh?"
Yami frowned in annoyance, "...you went on a vacation with Bakura right?"
"What are you talking about...?"
"But his letter said he was on vacation with you..."
"Huh?"
"Oh...a lie was it...?" Yami's mouth tighten, "I'll kill that bastard...!" He note to himself.
Yugi glared at Yami, "What about you? You don't mind Anzu going back to Hyakki even though you were so lovey dovey with her?" He asked in a bitter tone looking away.
"Huh? Lovey dovey? When, where...?" Yami looked lost on his little one wild accusation.
Yugi rolled his eyes, "In the garden behind the school! It looked like you were doing naughty things with her."
Yami's eyes narrowed and frowned, "Was that really me...?"
"Eh?"
"Wasn't it a small, fish-smelling cat-faced someone?"Yugi thought hard. Now that Yami mention it, could it have been Vivian that was behind that? Yugi looked back up to see that Yami was still starring at him, "About me okaying the change of rooms with Anzu...I thought that If I disobeyed the Atemu clan too much, they'd do something awful to you..." Yugi was speechless, "But Anzu already gone home so..." Yami looked into his little one eyes, "Come back to my place."
Yugi grinned before grabbing a hold of Yami's arm, "Hey, more importantly, there's a delicious cake shop close by. Let's go check it out!" Yami slowly nodded his head and thought it was pretty easy that Yugi had already forgive him. He was sure Yugi would hold the grudge for a few more days.
SM School...
"They're late. If they don't hurry that boy is going to wake up..." Serenity sighed.
