Hey there everyone. I've decided to change the story plot and I had to change a name around so I'm just reposting the chapters that were changed.

Thanks.

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 9

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Malik picked up his water bottle, as the snakes moved toward them, and threw it at the middle one, seeing it was the closest and got him between the eyes. The King Cobra reared back a bit and the other two looked at him before turning back to them and hissed.

"Get things and throw it at them. It might keep them away." Malik said.

Yugi and Ryou picked up staffs and pottery and started to throw it at them as they backed away. It kept the snakes at bay a little and soon they ran out of things to throw since they were at the three tunnels now. The snakes saw them unarmed and started forward again.

"Split up, it might confuse them." Malik said.

Ryou and Yugi did not need to be told twice and bolted into a tunnel and Malik took the last that was free.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

The snakes look at each other, shook their heads, and followed the one they wanted. The King Cobra went after Yugi, Rattlesnake went after Ryou, and the King Desert went after Malik. In the safety of the dark tunnels, they put their plan into action to trap the boys.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Yugi panted and put his hand on the wall to keep himself upright and catch his breath. He looked behind him, trying to listen for the snake. He hoped it could not see him in the dark. Yugi started walking again and was listening very carefully for anything other than himself.

After a few minutes, he heard something that sounded like a person running. Yugi pushed himself against a wall and continued to walk backwards. As it got closer the louder, it got before it slowed down.

Yugi looked carefully to find someone there. He looked like him but darker skin and his body was well built from what he could see of his torso, his face was more mature, his eyes were blood red, and his hair was a little different. It was similar to Yugi's but without the amethyst lining along the top, instead it was blood red like his eyes and also gold lightning bangs going up. His facial features were more mature.

"Hey you ok?" His voice was deep as well.

"I'm alright. Where's the snakes?"

"They went a different way."

"Ryou! Malik!" Yugi cried fearfully.

"It's alright my friends are looking for them."

"Really?"

"Yeah, come on. Let's get out and we'll meet up with your friends." He said, holding out his hand.

"Ok."

Yugi started towards him and took hold of his hand. As he held the man pulled him to his chest and Yugi could feel something wrapping around his legs and lower torso. Yugi looked down and screamed. It was a snake tail and a large one. Yugi looked at the man in fear and he just smirked before saying a chant causing Yugi to collapse against him, asleep.

The man smirked, lifted Yugi into his arms, and slithered off, back to the temple.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Malik was bolting down the tunnel he was in and wasn't going to stop. He could hear something coming after him but he didn't exactly know what it was. Although he had a pretty good idea. Malik soon came to a dead end.

"Shit!" He cursed. 'Now how do I get away?'

Malik thought he heard footsteps and turned. He could not see anyone or anything there just yet but could still hear something coming.

"Yugi? Ryou? Is that you?" Malik called.

He got no reply and the sound grew. Malik pressed his back against the wall more.

"Who's there?"

"Me." Someone said from the darkness.

"Show yourself."

"Very well."

The person said and walked out so his upper body was visible. He had a well built chest and had muscular arms. Malik gulped and took in the rest of him. He had dark violet eyes and his hair was a sandy blonde colour and spiked out in all directions. He had a sort of crazy looking face but he looked calm for now, but he was still very intimidating.

"You're lost." He said.

"No, running."

"From the snakes?"

"Yes."

"Well let's get out of here."

"I can't leave without my friends."

"My friends are going after them."

Malik took one step towards the man before the man jumped at him. Malik tried to dodge him but failed and was caught. What was strange was that the man didn't use his arms. Malik looked down to see his arms where pinned to his body by a tail. Malik looked up a bit fearfully at the man.

"You're one of the snakes."

"Yes that's right."

"Why are we here?"

"You'll find out in due time."

The naga then said a small chant and Malik collapsed forward against him. The naga smirked and lifted Malik into his arms and headed off to meet the others.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Ryou panted and hid in a small hold that was in the tunnel walls. He was crapped but hoped the snake would pass so he could find Yugi and Malik. Ryou whimpered when he heard something coming and pushed himself back further. When the sound stopped outside near where he was hiding Ryou heard something.

"Hey it's safe to come out." A gruff voice said.

Ryou squeaked and slowly crawled out to see someone that looked similar to him standing there. Ryou slowly got to his feet and looked him a little fearfully, since the man looked annoyed. Ryou bit his lip as they stood there for a minute or two in silence as the man looked at him scrutiny.

Ryou took this time to look at him as well. The man was a few inches taller than him and had a good build on him. His chest, torso and arms were visible and were very well formed. He was still slim but well built. Ryou looked up at his face and his eyes were a stone grey colour. His facial features were sharp as well and he had a double t scar on the right side of his face right under his eye. Ryou also noticed in the dark that his skin was tanned like Malik.

"You running from the snakes?"

"Y-Yeah."

"Let's go then."

"I need to find my friends."

"You'll see your friends soon. Don't worry about that." He smirked.

Ryou took a step back shaking his head. "I'll find them on my own. Thanks anyway."

The man narrowed his eyes dangerous and moved forwards so fast Ryou didn't even see it. He was then suddenly right in his face and Ryou couldn't move. Not that his body had frozen up in fear, but he'd tried to run but something stopped him. Ryou shakily looked down to see a tail wrapped around his upper legs and torso, pinning his arms to his side. Ryou screamed in fear and looked back at the man who threw his head back and laughed before chanting a spell and Ryou fell unconscious. The naga just scowled realising he now had to carry the boy back. He lifted him up and threw him over his shoulder before heading back.
