=====chapter 15=====
Yugi's mind was screaming for him to run away from the creepy white-haired man but his body was paralyzed from fright and he was too numb to move a single muscle.
‘Oh no! PEGASUS!’
Yugi just stared wide-eyed with shock, his lower lip quivering.
Pegasus just smiled down at him and said in a disturbing, low voice, "Hello, there."
If Yugi could have moved, he would have flinched as he felt more cold shivers on his back. He still kept mute.
"My, aren't you such a cute, little thing?" he continued, letting out a amused chuckle. "You seem more different in person than on screen, do you notice that, Yami-Boy?"
Finally finding his voice, but it came out in a stuttering, high pitch.
"I-I'm n-not Y-Yami." he replied, squeezing tightly to the wash cloth in his hand.
Surprise lifted in Pegasus's features as he let out another laugh.
"Really?" he asked cheerfully. "Well, please forgive me for my mistake."
Then he picked up one of Yugi's hand, lifted to his lips, and gave it a little peck. Yugi's hair shot up as he let out a horrified squeak.
"Eah! No! I-It's a-alright, D-Don't w-worry." Yugi stuttered quickly, trying to pull his hand away from his grasp. "E-Excuse me."
"A moment." he tighten his grip on the hand, his smile widens. "You haven't given me the great pleasure of telling me your name."
Yugi froze as he felt the color leaving his face. "M-My n-n-name? uh..."
'Think, Yugi, think! Hurry up! Come up with something! A lie. A fib. Air. SOMETHING! He's looking at you!'
"Oh, um, I'm told that I shouldn't be giving my name to strangers." he said automatically after a mental coach talk. "And you're pretty strange, mister."
'Yes! Good one, Mutou!' he mentally patted himself on the shoulder. 'Good thing I got lying lessons from Malik.'
But it didn't seem like Pegasus get the rebuttal, for he was smiling even wider, a weird twinkle in his one eye that Yugi didn't trust one little bit.
"Oh, I'm not that strange, my dear boy. In fact, "suddenly he pulled Yugi against him. "We can get to know each other and be close friends."
'YAMI! Help!''

“Bakura?”
Bac k in Bakura's room, Ryou has arisen himself up, and was disappointed to find himself alone without Bakura. He was still shocked by the realization of how hurt he was.
'Why should I care that he isn't here? I should be happy, right?' he asked himself.
'But you're not, see?'
'It doesn't matter! I'm suppose to be here for a mission, not an...an-'
'An affair?'
Ryou felt himself blush and turn his head. 'Right. And I shouldn't be thinking like this. my mission is important and should be my main focus. Anything else should be ignored.'
'Even if it was your first time?'
'Uh...'
'And that you really liked it?'
'Well...'
'Especially that nifty position that had you screaming bloody-'
'ALRIGHT! Shut up! I like him!'
'How much?'
'....a lot.'
'As in?'
'.....love.'
'Right. Good boy. Now say it again.'
"I...love Bakura." he said to himself and it was those little words were stuck in his head as he got up.
He was still think about it as he walk to the personal bathroom, took a quick shower and put on his Indian costume. When he was done, he walked to the door, he stopped at look at the mirror.
He stare at himself in the mirror. He was fully dressed in his clothes and then he remembered how he first came in this room a few hours ago and felt himself get all hot as he also remember how he was tangled and shackled in bad with Bakura. Shaking his head quickly from the perverted images, he pulled his attention away when he heard a tiny beeping sound.
-beep-
-beep-
-beep-
Following to the sound, he lifted his arm to the metal armband communicator.
'I got mail? It's a message from Jou.' pushing the button he read the small strands of digital words.
-We have receive new information of the ‘Desert Kings’ and mission: Information's reported that witnesses have knowledge the gang with a specific stolen item from their first robbery. Items contain, myth said "Dark magic used by past sorceress" in the Dark Age. Items are: An Unsolved Puzzle, Dream catcher Ring, Dagger Knife, and Cross Key.
Beware of those with these items. Good luck in your mission.
C.-
After finish reading the message, he closed the communicator and thought hardly as something was so familiar with the description.
'A Dream catcher Ring?' he thought.
"Hmm. I wonder what it looks like? I think I remembered Dad saying something about it from one of his expedition. Something about it being stolen from a famous thief thousands of years ago. I wonder." suddenly he was brought out of his thoughts when he got a strange flash in his mind.
His mind just popped up an image of a faceless man standing on top of a hill with a blood dripping down his hand, but somehow Ryou could tell it wasn't his blood. The faceless person was standing in front of him and Ryou could see a golden ring that looks like a dream catcher on the person's chest. Suddenly the person hold up his bloody hand, a card was in his fingers, then...
Ryou gasp and shook his head again. he was suddenly breathless and sweat was pouring from his forehead.
"What the bloody Hell was that?" he asked himself aloud.
Shaking his head again, he twist open the door and go through as he felt a dark presence near.
‘This is not good.’ were his last thought as he stalk through the maze to the exit.
----------
Feeling a cool breeze up his bare ass, Malik groan in annoyance and turn, expecting to find a warm body next to him but was met with warm sand.
Surprised and confused, Malik forced himself to open his eyes and see that he was alone in the empty sand ditch with nothing on but his naked rear and a silk cape. Lifting the cape to his chin, he looked around the room.
“Marik? Marik!” he called out softly through the room but heard no response.
Turning his head down , he saw some disturbed sands and touched it lightly. Being born and raised in the hot deserts most his live, he estimated that Marik left about 10, 15 minutes at the most ago.
Highly depressed by this Malik frown sadly and look down on his lap. He raised his legs to his chin, wrapped them and sigh as he drop his chin on his knees.
‘What’s wrong with me? I’ve been with relationships before. And I never felt this way.’ he thought to himself.
‘Maybe, it’s because instead of you leaving, it was someone else?”
Malik shook his head furiously at his other self for suggesting that. ‘It can’t be! Even if that’s true, why should I care if he left me or not? I can always find someone else.’ he try to sound careless with a shrug but there was a tiny sting in his chest when he said it.
‘Are you sure about that?’
‘Y-Yeah. It’s not hard to find someone. What makes him any difference?’
‘Want me to make a list?’
‘Try.’ he dared.
‘Gladly. 1.) you let him kissed you before the first date.’
‘So! What if I was just changing my strategy?’
‘You haven’t before. 2.) you let him be your first to freak. with him being on top.’
‘He was NOT on top!’
‘Most of the time. And 3.) you like him. a-lot.’
Malik could hear the smugness in the voice and couldn’t help but twitch at the truth.
‘Do what it I like him? I like lots of guys.’ he protest.
‘But not THIS much. huh?’
‘I’m not talking to you anymore!’
Malik mentally shut off the voice from his head and turn his head to the side in a stubborn way. He stayed like that for a moment before sighing in exasperation again.
"Who am I kidding? I'm stupid. Arguing with myself." he groaned. “Even worse. I had to fall for someone. Who happens to be a crazed idiot. Perfect.”
Deciding that sitting in a sand, naked in the cool room, talking to himself is not healthy, so he got up and begin to dress. He grumble to himself that he might as well, get back and do his job at the bar.
His body was still a little musty from their earlier...activities and there were sand in some spots he didn’t want to mention but their uncomfortable.
He scrunch his nose in dislike then look around the round room. His eye caught on the small pond in the corner, seeing no other place to clean, walk to it. He crouch to the edge and started to splash water on his body.
Then he slowly slide in the water, yelping softly at the cold that touch his skin. Then he starts to rinse himself. Just then a beeping sound was heard in his pile of clothes near the pond.
-beep-
-beep-
-beep-
He paddle to his clothes and pulled out his band communicator
.
“Hmm. Mail.” he murmured and read the message.
-We have receive new information of the ‘Desert Kings’ and mission: Information's reported that witnesses have knowledge the gang with a specific stolen item from their first robbery. Items contain, myth said "Dark magic used by past sorceress" in the Dark Age. Items are: An Unsolved Puzzle, Dream catcher Ring, Dagger Knife, and Cross Key.

“Strange. A Dagger Knife? Kinda reminds me of a rod Ishizu showed me. And...” he trailed off when his mind became more wondering as he search through his memory.
Suddenly a weird flow of overwhelming energy hits him and his vision starts to blur as an new vision flashed to him.
He found himself still in water, but around his wasn’t the small room of the imitation desert but the real deserts of Egypt. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing but he does know that he is still naked. Swimming to the edge, he attempt to pull himself up, a dark shadow towered over him and he found himself frozen to the spot. Tilting his head up, he found himself looking at a faceless shadow. In his hand war a gold rod with a sharp tip and a gold eye with wings on the side gleaming brightly. Blood was also dripping from the gold item, Malik saw with a sense of dread. The shadow raised his hand and held a bloody card, then...
Malik jumped and gasp, his breath coming out short, his body shaking. He shook his head, excusing himself that it was the cold and jump out. After he finish dressing he felt a cold hand of evil touched his senses and froze.
"Something's not right." he concluded and rushed out the room.
----------
Back in the office of Kaiba, Jou stepped out of the small bathroom Seto was using before, steam follow after his and he dry his soaked hair with a towel.
After taking the shower, he felt fresher and his mind is more clearing in things now that it’s not being distracted with hormones and a certain sexy CEO.
Scanning the small room, he moved to Seto’s seat behind the big desk and sit. He picked up a small metal BEWD figure and examine it. Then he picked up the REBD and starts fiddling with it and the BEWD.
Soon getting bored, his eyes moved to the desktop computer in front of him. He stared at it for a while, arguing to himself on what he should do next.
‘Hmm. Should I mess with Seto’s computer when he’s gone?’ he asked himself.
‘Why not? Not like he can see you, he is gone, you know.’ his inner-thoughts reminded him in a tone that made him sounds stupid.
‘Fine. Sheesh, no need to be so snippy.’
‘Don’t blame me, picked up the habit from you.’
Letting that last comment slide the time, he pushed the button, turning on the computer. He waited until the computer loads and awaits for the password.
/Password please./
“Password. Password. Wat can it be?” he wondered.
Looking around the desk for a clue, his eyes targets on the small metal dragon. Smirking he typed in the password.
/BEWD/
/Password confirmed, Welcome Mr. Kaiba./
Jou rolled his eyes hearing the servant tone, not surprise to find his lover too superior.
‘Getting in seems easy enough.’ he thought with a scoff starts clicking around.
Looking through the files around, he found many business forms, tax expansions, and a list of who should be fired and replaced.
‘Boring. Where’s the good stuff.’
Going in deeper, he stopped when he reached a locked-up file.
‘Now what do we have here?’
He double-clicked it but he couldn’t enter it. Frowning, he stared hard at the little file and clicked it again, but still the guard on it was still on. And it doesn’t seem like the normal, easy-break lock too.
‘Hmm. What should I do?’ he wondered.
‘Problem? What is it now?’
‘Just curious and cautious at the same time. Got a question for you.’
‘Shoot.’
‘To hack, or not to hack? That is the question.’
‘Hmmm. A toughy.’
‘So...?’
‘Do I really have to answer that?’
“Hack it is.” he nodded, finally coming up with the a decision. “Let’s get ta work.”
Cracking his fingers together, he flex them and starts to attack the machine. Hitting every key with precise touch, not missing a single key as he go through each doors and levels he has to break to get though the main lock where he can shut it off long enough for him to get a sneak peek of what’s hiding behind Door Number 1.
“Almost. Almost. Come on, Baby, let me in.” he whispers to the screen as he reach to his goal. “And just a little deeper, getting close, GOAL!”
He tossed his arms in the air and cheered in victory. Rubbing his hand s together he click in the file.
“Now, let’s see what do we have here.” he said and pushed ‘enter’.
Suddenly a wide window opened up in screen and Jou gasp at the screen, then cooed lovingly.
“AAAWWW! CUTE!” he squealed girlishly, holding his hands. “What a sweet-heart. I’ve never imagine he could be that adorable.”
In front on him was a picture of Seto Kaiba. But wasn’t a picture of the cold, dark, sexy teenage CEO, instead the opposite of it. There shows Seto Kaiba, not the high, mighty business teen, but a sweet little boy with a shy smile, playing chess with another younger little boy with long, black mane, laughing.
‘That is SOOO cute! I wanna save this.’ he thought and pulled out thin wire from his digi-watch and hooked it up to the computer.
‘Yo, Blondie, you think this is a good idea?’ his voice of reason ask.
‘Hm? Whatcha mean?’ he said as he loads the data in his watch.
The voice let out a sigh before responding. ‘This is stealing, you know.’
Jou took a while to finally comprehend what he was trying to tell himself and be came uneasy.
‘Y-Yeah. So what?’
‘You know as well as I do, Katsuya don’t steal anymore, even if he want or need it.’
‘Well,-’
‘He said so himself and to his sister.’
‘Yeah, but-’
‘But why would he break his promise to steal a picture, of his lover, of all things? Hmm?’
‘Now hold it-’
‘Is they’re a certain reason? Hmm? Well? Answer.’
‘.....I...I don’t know.’
‘Oh, for the love of, want me to tell you?’ it asked sounding irritated.
‘Uh...sure?’
‘Cause you in love.’
Jou froze there a moment.
“Lo...love?” he repeated, absently rubbing his chest where is heart is. “Is it?”
This thoughts were pulled away when he heard a small ‘ding’ and look back the screen to see the loading is complete. Without a second thought, he unplug the wire and sent the file to his laptop back in the hotel.
“Yeah. Maybe I am.” he said to himself and look back at the picture. “Betta shutdown before anyone come.”
He closed the window with the picture and was about to click ‘START’ and shutdown until he noticed another file. Guessing he still have a little more time to see what could be in it, he shrugged and click on it. A window opened and Jou wait for the file to load.
“Huh. Bet it’s porn.” he grinned at the thought and lean back.
Just when the file was done, a picture popped up, but it wasn’t porn. Jou gasp and sat up straight, his throat seem unable to take in air.
It was a picture of an artifact. Not just any artifact. It was an Egyptian cross made of gold with slight key-like features on the tip. It wasn’t that it was an artifact, but it was one of the artifacts that Charlie has warmed him about!
“Oh no. I gotta find, tell them, no, wait, Seto!” he shake his head as many questions starts flying in his head. “I gotta get outta here.”
Just as he got up, a spell of dizziness hits him so hard that it got him back in his seat. “Whoa. Feeling weird.”
Suddenly he found himself sitting in a chair, but instead of the modern, glossy business office, he’s in an old, ancient meeting hall. The room was big with arts of Egyptian gods and monsters. Jou got up and turn his head to look around, at each picture then stop when he was faced with four large portraits of what could be the rulers of the land. When he look up, he couldn’t see their faces but one caught his attention the most because with his portrait, there was a small dragon, faithfully next to it’s master. Suddenly he turn and saw another shadow figure, blood dripping from his arms but he didn’t seem weak. Jou’s attention were not focused to the blood but the gold cross hanging on his chest and the card that was between the faceless shadow‘s fingers and it raised to his eyes, then...
“Ah! No!” Jou screamed and wrench his eyes open in horror. “What. The. Hell?!”
Looking back at the screen, he shook his head and quickly shut the damn thing off before he went running to the door. Just as he touch the door knob, his felt a jolt of cold and yelp.
“Damn! It’s happening. I gotta worn them NOW!” he said urgently and ran through the door.
His little stuff puppy left and forgotten on the desk next to the two dragons.
----------
“So, my dear boy, what do you say?” Pegasus pressed, pulling the poor teen disturbingly closer to him. “Interested in a little bonding?”
Yugi was shocked in horror and felt his whole body and mind with numb with terror and fright. He could talk, barely breathe and hardly think.
He wants to scream, to cry, anything just as long as he is away from this monster, but he just can’t. He just can’t!
‘WHY?! WHY CAN’T I MOVE?!’ he screamed in his head, then try to struggle but his body still doesn’t move.
“Oh, you’re so honored that you’re speechless, eh? Why I’m flattered.” the white-haired man laughed modestly.
Yugi brought his brows in a annoyed line and opened his mouth to resort a rude comment, only to find that he can’t control his voice. Not even a whisper.
‘WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!?!’
Sweat was sliding down his head as he look up nervously at the mad killer. He try not look into his face, but he doesn’t want to look like a coward either so he just keep his eyes occupation. Then his mind popped up a question that made his think.
‘Why does he cover half his face?’
A slow, shady smile pulled on the freaks face and Yugi felt a shot of coldness going up his back.
“Do you know you look cute enough to take?” he said smoothly then added, “And seeing that no one is waiting for you, I could do the honors.”
He touched his chin with a finger and tilt his face up, aiming to kiss him. Yugi just stared, eyes wide with horror as he can’t seem to fight his way free.
‘NO! Someone, Anyone! Save me!’
Just then Ryou ran breathlessly through the door and he froze at the sight of Yugi but mostly on Pegasus. After him was Malik who also stop on his tracks when he caught sight of the white-haired man. Jou followed after him, his face was scared before but now it was panicked when he spotted the killer they were tracking holding their friend.
They all stood there paralyze, not moving.
His mouth was millimeters from Yugi’s trembling lips then...
“PEGASUS!”
Everything stopped, the powerful voice still echo through the wall. Everyone slowly turn their heads to the voice.
Feeling his throat loosen and his voice free, Yugi was able to choke out one word. “Ya-mi.”
There standing strongly, his eyes glowing darkly of the color blood is the Pharaoh. Yami. Behind him were his three allies, the Priest, the TombRobber, the Maniac. There was a faint glow of angry energy that flows around them as they glare at Pegasus. None of them look happy.
Finally coming out of the brief interruption, Pegasus close his eyes and Yugi felt the chain that holds his body frozen gone as he stumble back from Pegasus, the fear still not leaving his eyes. His friends unstuck themselves from their spots and rush to Yugi, surrounding him protectively, still not taking their eyes off Pegasus but their were still hints of fright in them.
Opening his eyes again, Pegasus brought up a bright cheery smile as he walk gracefully to the four managers.
“Ah, Yami-Boy! There you are!” he said with cheery humor. “About time you got here.”
“Pegasus.” Yami said again, his voice low in a dangerous warning. “Why are you here?”
Pegasus pouted and said in a playfully, chiding tone, “No is that any way to treat a guest? I traveled all this way just to see you and this is how you greet me? How rude.”
Yami just narrowed his eyes at his as another warning. “Pegasus.”
The white-haired man just chortled again and waved a hand. “Now, come now. No need to be the angry man here, Yami-Boy. If you want to talk business, why don’t we go to the office? It’s still this way right?”
Not waiting for an answer, he made his way to the door behind the bar, where Suki was giving him a nasty look, moving out of his way. Yami’s frown deepened and he nodded for Bakura and Marik to follow him. They nodded and went after him.
Then Yugi turn to Yugi and walk towards him. Seto went behind him. Jou was holding Yugi and was petting his hair as Yugi continue to shiver. Malik was doing the same to Ryou who was close to hysteria.
Jou looked up when he notice Yami was in front of them. Yami inclined his head to signal Jou to let him hold Yugi. Jou hesitated a second but gave a brisk nod as he hand over Yugi to Yami. Seto move in to Jou.
Yami hold Yugi in his arms and when Yugi looked up to his face, Yami could see the fear and tears welled up in his wide amethyst eyes. Then Yugi gave a small cry and wrap his arms around Yami and starts to cry softly in his chest.
Yami couldn’t help but felt a sting in his chest and his blood boils in rage. He wants to rip the head off of the person who would dare bring his Light to tears.
‘Light?’
“Shh. Shh. Yugi. What’s wrong? Tell me.” he ordered quietly as he sooth him.
Yugi sniffled a little them brought his tearstain face up again. Suddenly his face show sadness, to shock, then horrified concern.
“Yami.” he squeaked and grab hold of his hand tightly. “Yami, No. Don’t, you can’t go. He’ll.”
Yami shook his firmly as Yugi started to speak nonsense. “Slow down, Yugi what are you trying to tell me?”
Yugi gulp as he try to think clearly on how much he should tell him.
“That man. The one with white hair.” he manage through gasp.
“Pegasus? What?”
“Yami. I don’t trust him. He’s dangerous. He, He scares me.” he admits to him, tightening his hold. “I don’t like him, Yami. He’s bad.”
“Yugi, I don’t understand.” he responded, confuse.
His friend were watching him as he pleaded to Yami. Seto was looking also, bemused as Yami.
Holding his face in his hands, Yami stared into his eyes. “Yugi, stay here and calm down for now. I need to go to finish this small business and I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible so he can leave, ok?”
Yugi just nodded. Nodding in Satisfaction, Yami looked at Seto and they both went through the door that Pegasus just left through.
When they were alone, silence held in the air.
Then Suki can from behind the bar, holding a towel with ice in wrapped in it. He Kneel down to Yugi and looked up at the poor boy’s face.
“Yugi? It’s me, Suki. C’mon.” he urged gentle and carefully dabbed the cool cloth to Yugi’s cheek.
He started a little but when he saw it was Suki he relaxed.
“Don’t worry about him, Yugi. I don’t like the bastard either.” Suki continued conversationally, holding the cloth to Yugi‘s heated face. “He’ll be gone in no time and everything will go back to normal.”
“...No. It’ won’t.” Yugi said softly. “It’s going to get worse. And more dangerous.”

Turning his head down , he saw some disturbed sands and touched it lightly. Being born and raised in the hot deserts most his live, he estimated that Marik left about 10, 15 minutes at the most ago.
Highly depressed by this Malik frown sadly and look down on his lap. He raised his legs to his chin, wrapped them and sigh as he drop his chin on his knees.
‘What’s wrong with me? I’ve been with relationships before. And I never felt this way.’ he thought to himself.
‘Maybe, it’s because instead of you leaving, it was someone else?”
Malik shook his head furiously at his other self for suggesting that. ‘It can’t be! Even if that’s true, why should I care if he left me or not? I can always find someone else.’ he try to sound careless with a shrug but there was a tiny sting in his chest when he said it.
‘Are you sure about that?’
‘Y-Yeah. It’s not hard to find someone. What makes him any difference?’
‘Want me to make a list?’
‘Try.’ he dared.
‘Gladly. 1.) you let him kissed you before the first date.’
‘So! What if I was just changing my strategy?’
‘You haven’t before. 2.) you let him be your first to freak. with him being on top.’
‘He was NOT on top!’
‘Most of the time. And 3.) you like him. a-lot.’
Malik could hear the smugness in the voice and couldn’t help but twitch at the truth.
‘Do what it I like him? I like lots of guys.’ he protest.
‘But not THIS much. huh?’
‘I’m not talking to you anymore!’
Malik mentally shut off the voice from his head and turn his head to the side in a stubborn way. He stayed like that for a moment before sighing in exasperation again.
"Who am I kidding? I'm stupid. Arguing with myself." he groaned. “Even worse. I had to fall for someone. Who happens to be a crazed idiot. Perfect.”
Deciding that sitting in a sand, naked in the cool room, talking to himself is not healthy, so he got up and begin to dress. He grumble to himself that he might as well, get back and do his job at the bar.
His body was still a little musty from their earlier...activities and there were sand in some spots he didn’t want to mention but their uncomfortable.
He scrunch his nose in dislike then look around the round room. His eye caught on the small pond in the corner, seeing no other place to clean, walk to it. He crouch to the edge and started to splash water on his body.
Then he slowly slide in the water, yelping softly at the cold that touch his skin. Then he starts to rinse himself. Just then a beeping sound was heard in his pile of clothes near the pond.
-beep-
-beep-
-beep-
He paddle to his clothes and pulled out his band communicator
.
“Hmm. Mail.” he murmured and read the message.
-We have receive new information of the ‘Desert Kings’ and mission: Information's reported that witnesses have knowledge the gang with a specific stolen item from their first robbery. Items contain, myth said "Dark magic used by past sorceress" in the Dark Age. Items are: An Unsolved Puzzle, Dream catcher Ring, Dagger Knife, and Cross Key.
Beware of those with these items. Good luck in your mission.
C.-
“Strange. A Dagger Knife? Kinda reminds me of a rod Ishizu showed me. And...” he trailed off when his mind became more wondering as he search through his memory.
Suddenly a weird flow of overwhelming energy hits him and his vision starts to blur as an new vision flashed to him.
He found himself still in water, but around his wasn’t the small room of the imitation desert but the real deserts of Egypt. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing but he does know that he is still naked. Swimming to the edge, he attempt to pull himself up, a dark shadow towered over him and he found himself frozen to the spot. Tilting his head up, he found himself looking at a faceless shadow. In his hand war a gold rod with a sharp tip and a gold eye with wings on the side gleaming brightly. Blood was also dripping from the gold item, Malik saw with a sense of dread. The shadow raised his hand and held a bloody card, then...
Malik jumped and gasp, his breath coming out short, his body shaking. He shook his head, excusing himself that it was the cold and jump out. After he finish dressing he felt a cold hand of evil touched his senses and froze.
"Something's not right." he concluded and rushed out the room.
----------
Back in the office of Kaiba, Jou stepped out of the small bathroom Seto was using before, steam follow after his and he dry his soaked hair with a towel.
After taking the shower, he felt fresher and his mind is more clearing in things now that it’s not being distracted with hormones and a certain sexy CEO.
Scanning the small room, he moved to Seto’s seat behind the big desk and sit. He picked up a small metal BEWD figure and examine it. Then he picked up the REBD and starts fiddling with it and the BEWD.
Soon getting bored, his eyes moved to the desktop computer in front of him. He stared at it for a while, arguing to himself on what he should do next.
‘Hmm. Should I mess with Seto’s computer when he’s gone?’ he asked himself.
‘Why not? Not like he can see you, he is gone, you know.’ his inner-thoughts reminded him in a tone that made him sounds stupid.
‘Fine. Sheesh, no need to be so snippy.’
‘Don’t blame me, picked up the habit from you.’
Letting that last comment slide the time, he pushed the button, turning on the computer. He waited until the computer loads and awaits for the password.
/Password please./
“Password. Password. Wat can it be?” he wondered.
Looking around the desk for a clue, his eyes targets on the small metal dragon. Smirking he typed in the password.
/BEWD/
/Password confirmed, Welcome Mr. Kaiba./
Jou rolled his eyes hearing the servant tone, not surprise to find his lover too superior.
‘Getting in seems easy enough.’ he thought with a scoff starts clicking around.
Looking through the files around, he found many business forms, tax expansions, and a list of who should be fired and replaced.
‘Boring. Where’s the good stuff.’
Going in deeper, he stopped when he reached a locked-up file.
‘Now what do we have here?’
He double-clicked it but he couldn’t enter it. Frowning, he stared hard at the little file and clicked it again, but still the guard on it was still on. And it doesn’t seem like the normal, easy-break lock too.
‘Hmm. What should I do?’ he wondered.
‘Problem? What is it now?’
‘Just curious and cautious at the same time. Got a question for you.’
‘Shoot.’
‘To hack, or not to hack? That is the question.’
‘Hmmm. A toughy.’
‘So...?’
‘Do I really have to answer that?’
“Hack it is.” he nodded, finally coming up with the a decision. “Let’s get ta work.”
Cracking his fingers together, he flex them and starts to attack the machine. Hitting every key with precise touch, not missing a single key as he go through each doors and levels he has to break to get though the main lock where he can shut it off long enough for him to get a sneak peek of what’s hiding behind Door Number 1.
“Almost. Almost. Come on, Baby, let me in.” he whispers to the screen as he reach to his goal. “And just a little deeper, getting close, GOAL!”
He tossed his arms in the air and cheered in victory. Rubbing his hand s together he click in the file.
“Now, let’s see what do we have here.” he said and pushed ‘enter’.
Suddenly a wide window opened up in screen and Jou gasp at the screen, then cooed lovingly.
“AAAWWW! CUTE!” he squealed girlishly, holding his hands. “What a sweet-heart. I’ve never imagine he could be that adorable.”
In front on him was a picture of Seto Kaiba. But wasn’t a picture of the cold, dark, sexy teenage CEO, instead the opposite of it. There shows Seto Kaiba, not the high, mighty business teen, but a sweet little boy with a shy smile, playing chess with another younger little boy with long, black mane, laughing.
‘That is SOOO cute! I wanna save this.’ he thought and pulled out thin wire from his digi-watch and hooked it up to the computer.
‘Yo, Blondie, you think this is a good idea?’ his voice of reason ask.
‘Hm? Whatcha mean?’ he said as he loads the data in his watch.
The voice let out a sigh before responding. ‘This is stealing, you know.’
Jou took a while to finally comprehend what he was trying to tell himself and be came uneasy.
‘Y-Yeah. So what?’
‘You know as well as I do, Katsuya don’t steal anymore, even if he want or need it.’
‘Well,-’
‘He said so himself and to his sister.’
‘Yeah, but-’
‘But why would he break his promise to steal a picture, of his lover, of all things? Hmm?’
‘Now hold it-’
‘Is they’re a certain reason? Hmm? Well? Answer.’
‘.....I...I don’t know.’
‘Oh, for the love of, want me to tell you?’ it asked sounding irritated.
‘Uh...sure?’
‘Cause you in love.’
Jou froze there a moment.
“Lo...love?” he repeated, absently rubbing his chest where is heart is. “Is it?”
This thoughts were pulled away when he heard a small ‘ding’ and look back the screen to see the loading is complete. Without a second thought, he unplug the wire and sent the file to his laptop back in the hotel.
“Yeah. Maybe I am.” he said to himself and look back at the picture. “Betta shutdown before anyone come.”
He closed the window with the picture and was about to click ‘START’ and shutdown until he noticed another file. Guessing he still have a little more time to see what could be in it, he shrugged and click on it. A window opened and Jou wait for the file to load.
“Huh. Bet it’s porn.” he grinned at the thought and lean back.
Just when the file was done, a picture popped up, but it wasn’t porn. Jou gasp and sat up straight, his throat seem unable to take in air.
It was a picture of an artifact. Not just any artifact. It was an Egyptian cross made of gold with slight key-like features on the tip. It wasn’t that it was an artifact, but it was one of the artifacts that Charlie has warmed him about!
“Oh no. I gotta find, tell them, no, wait, Seto!” he shake his head as many questions starts flying in his head. “I gotta get outta here.”
Just as he got up, a spell of dizziness hits him so hard that it got him back in his seat. “Whoa. Feeling weird.”
Suddenly he found himself sitting in a chair, but instead of the modern, glossy business office, he’s in an old, ancient meeting hall. The room was big with arts of Egyptian gods and monsters. Jou got up and turn his head to look around, at each picture then stop when he was faced with four large portraits of what could be the rulers of the land. When he look up, he couldn’t see their faces but one caught his attention the most because with his portrait, there was a small dragon, faithfully next to it’s master. Suddenly he turn and saw another shadow figure, blood dripping from his arms but he didn’t seem weak. Jou’s attention were not focused to the blood but the gold cross hanging on his chest and the card that was between the faceless shadow‘s fingers and it raised to his eyes, then...
“Ah! No!” Jou screamed and wrench his eyes open in horror. “What. The. Hell?!”
Looking back at the screen, he shook his head and quickly shut the damn thing off before he went running to the door. Just as he touch the door knob, his felt a jolt of cold and yelp.
“Damn! It’s happening. I gotta worn them NOW!” he said urgently and ran through the door.
His little stuff puppy left and forgotten on the desk next to the two dragons.
----------
“So, my dear boy, what do you say?” Pegasus pressed, pulling the poor teen disturbingly closer to him. “Interested in a little bonding?”
Yugi was shocked in horror and felt his whole body and mind with numb with terror and fright. He could talk, barely breathe and hardly think.
He wants to scream, to cry, anything just as long as he is away from this monster, but he just can’t. He just can’t!
‘WHY?! WHY CAN’T I MOVE?!’ he screamed in his head, then try to struggle but his body still doesn’t move.
“Oh, you’re so honored that you’re speechless, eh? Why I’m flattered.” the white-haired man laughed modestly.
Yugi brought his brows in a annoyed line and opened his mouth to resort a rude comment, only to find that he can’t control his voice. Not even a whisper.
‘WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!?!’
Sweat was sliding down his head as he look up nervously at the mad killer. He try not look into his face, but he doesn’t want to look like a coward either so he just keep his eyes occupation. Then his mind popped up a question that made his think.
‘Why does he cover half his face?’
A slow, shady smile pulled on the freaks face and Yugi felt a shot of coldness going up his back.
“Do you know you look cute enough to take?” he said smoothly then added, “And seeing that no one is waiting for you, I could do the honors.”
He touched his chin with a finger and tilt his face up, aiming to kiss him. Yugi just stared, eyes wide with horror as he can’t seem to fight his way free.
‘NO! Someone, Anyone! Save me!’
Just then Ryou ran breathlessly through the door and he froze at the sight of Yugi but mostly on Pegasus. After him was Malik who also stop on his tracks when he caught sight of the white-haired man. Jou followed after him, his face was scared before but now it was panicked when he spotted the killer they were tracking holding their friend.
They all stood there paralyze, not moving.
His mouth was millimeters from Yugi’s trembling lips then...
“PEGASUS!”
Everything stopped, the powerful voice still echo through the wall. Everyone slowly turn their heads to the voice.
Feeling his throat loosen and his voice free, Yugi was able to choke out one word. “Ya-mi.”
There standing strongly, his eyes glowing darkly of the color blood is the Pharaoh. Yami. Behind him were his three allies, the Priest, the TombRobber, the Maniac. There was a faint glow of angry energy that flows around them as they glare at Pegasus. None of them look happy.
Finally coming out of the brief interruption, Pegasus close his eyes and Yugi felt the chain that holds his body frozen gone as he stumble back from Pegasus, the fear still not leaving his eyes. His friends unstuck themselves from their spots and rush to Yugi, surrounding him protectively, still not taking their eyes off Pegasus but their were still hints of fright in them.
Opening his eyes again, Pegasus brought up a bright cheery smile as he walk gracefully to the four managers.
“Ah, Yami-Boy! There you are!” he said with cheery humor. “About time you got here.”
“Pegasus.” Yami said again, his voice low in a dangerous warning. “Why are you here?”
Pegasus pouted and said in a playfully, chiding tone, “No is that any way to treat a guest? I traveled all this way just to see you and this is how you greet me? How rude.”
Yami just narrowed his eyes at his as another warning. “Pegasus.”
The white-haired man just chortled again and waved a hand. “Now, come now. No need to be the angry man here, Yami-Boy. If you want to talk business, why don’t we go to the office? It’s still this way right?”
Not waiting for an answer, he made his way to the door behind the bar, where Suki was giving him a nasty look, moving out of his way. Yami’s frown deepened and he nodded for Bakura and Marik to follow him. They nodded and went after him.
Then Yugi turn to Yugi and walk towards him. Seto went behind him. Jou was holding Yugi and was petting his hair as Yugi continue to shiver. Malik was doing the same to Ryou who was close to hysteria.
Jou looked up when he notice Yami was in front of them. Yami inclined his head to signal Jou to let him hold Yugi. Jou hesitated a second but gave a brisk nod as he hand over Yugi to Yami. Seto move in to Jou.
Yami hold Yugi in his arms and when Yugi looked up to his face, Yami could see the fear and tears welled up in his wide amethyst eyes. Then Yugi gave a small cry and wrap his arms around Yami and starts to cry softly in his chest.
Yami couldn’t help but felt a sting in his chest and his blood boils in rage. He wants to rip the head off of the person who would dare bring his Light to tears.
‘Light?’
“Shh. Shh. Yugi. What’s wrong? Tell me.” he ordered quietly as he sooth him.
Yugi sniffled a little them brought his tearstain face up again. Suddenly his face show sadness, to shock, then horrified concern.
“Yami.” he squeaked and grab hold of his hand tightly. “Yami, No. Don’t, you can’t go. He’ll.”
Yami shook his firmly as Yugi started to speak nonsense. “Slow down, Yugi what are you trying to tell me?”
Yugi gulp as he try to think clearly on how much he should tell him.
“That man. The one with white hair.” he manage through gasp.
“Pegasus? What?”
“Yami. I don’t trust him. He’s dangerous. He, He scares me.” he admits to him, tightening his hold. “I don’t like him, Yami. He’s bad.”
“Yugi, I don’t understand.” he responded, confuse.
His friend were watching him as he pleaded to Yami. Seto was looking also, bemused as Yami.
Holding his face in his hands, Yami stared into his eyes. “Yugi, stay here and calm down for now. I need to go to finish this small business and I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible so he can leave, ok?”
Yugi just nodded. Nodding in Satisfaction, Yami looked at Seto and they both went through the door that Pegasus just left through.
When they were alone, silence held in the air.
Then Suki can from behind the bar, holding a towel with ice in wrapped in it. He Kneel down to Yugi and looked up at the poor boy’s face.
“Yugi? It’s me, Suki. C’mon.” he urged gentle and carefully dabbed the cool cloth to Yugi’s cheek.
He started a little but when he saw it was Suki he relaxed.
“Don’t worry about him, Yugi. I don’t like the bastard either.” Suki continued conversationally, holding the cloth to Yugi‘s heated face. “He’ll be gone in no time and everything will go back to normal.”
“...No. It’ won’t.” Yugi said softly. “It’s going to get worse. And more dangerous.”
