Engulfed in Shadows
Chapter Four
by Ravenx

“Can we come in?”

Yugi stands in the doorway of a bedroom with light green walls and dark green swirls. A dark, thick carpet covers the floor. To the right of the door is a small wooden bookshelf, beside it is a bed with a tan comforter and white sheets. Directly in front of the door is a bed with a dark forest green comforter and navy sheets. A picture of a large dragon hangs over the headboard. Two bed side tables and a desk rest between that bed and another one. This one with a white comforter and light blue sheets. At the foot is a door leading to the closet, another door on the opposite wall leads to the bathroom.

“Yeah, dad come on in.” Akira calls from the white and blue bed he is laying on.

“Whose we?” Raia sits on the tan comforter, his back against the wall, several books laid out around him.

“Me and daddy.” Kurai runs into the room, jumping on the bed next to his brother.

“Hey, little man.” Akira tickles his brother's under arms. “What are you doing, dad?”

“Just checking on my baby. What are you boys doing?” Yugi walks over to sit at the foot of Akira's bed.

“Nothing.” Akira continues tickling his little brother.

“Research.” Raia motions toward the books surrounding him.

“Research for what?”

“For Joey.”

“Oh, any luck yet?”

“Nope. Brayden was helping me until he disappeared.”

“Where'd he go?”

“To get something to eat.” Brayden smiles as he enters the bedroom.

“Well, now you're full so help me look through these books.” Raia throws a heavy book to the tall brunette.

“You're in a bad mood.” Brayden moves to his bed, sitting down and opening the large book.

“Because I'm going cross eyed reading all this.”

“You guys need any help?” Yugi gets up and walks over to Raia's bed.

“Sure.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

“Dad, you have to throw it harder.” Brennan laughs at Ryou as the boy tries to throw a dagger at the wall only to have it fall to the floor.

The twin's room is made up of black walls and carpet. To the left of the door is a small black polished bookshelf with a weapons cabinet on the other wall next to it. Brennan's bed is covered with a red comforter and black silk sheets. Across from his bed is Athan's, covered in a black comforter and silk red sheets. The closet door is between the two beds, another door is at the foot of Athan's bed leading to the bathroom. Athan and Ryou stand at the foot of the bed, aiming daggers at the blank wall to the right of the door.

“Flick your wrist, dad.” Athan walks over and retrieves the dagger from the soft black carpet.

“I don't throw daggers. This is what you and your father does.”

“Try again, dad.” Brennan moves around on his bed until he is laying on his stomach, his head resting in the palms of his hands.

“Here. Hold the tip gently between your fingers.” Athan gives Ryou a dagger while showing him what to do with another one. “Take your whole arm back. Then bring it forward but flick your wrist and release.”

Athan's silver dagger flies across the room and embeds in the black wall.

“See, easy.”

“For you.” Ryou does as his son tells him to but again the dagger only bounces handle first off the wall. “I can't do this.” Ryou pouts as he watches his oldest son pick up the two daggers.

“Can't do what?” Bakura enters the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.

“Throwing daggers.”

“He sucks.” Brennan giggles.

“I knew that.” Bakura smirks as he kisses his mate's blushing cheek.

“Kura, be nice.”

“Come on, father. Show him how to do it.” Athan hands Bakura a beautiful silver dagger, several black and red jewels on the handle.

Bakura steps behind his mate, placing the dagger in the smaller hand he guides his arm back. His larger hand holds Ryou's slim wrist gently. Bringing their arms forward, he flicks Ryou's wrist and whispers for him to let go, his lips brushing Ryou's ear. The dagger flies through the air and embeds in the black wall.

“Cool! I did it!” Ryou jumps up and down.

“No, father did it.” Brennan smiles.

“Oh, shut up.” The white haired mate sticks his tongue out at his son.

“Want to try it on your own, dad?” Athan holds the other dagger to Ryou who takes it.

Throwing the dagger, Ryou embeds it in the wall about a foot from the floor.

“That was…good?” Brennan shrugs his shoulders.

“It was perfect for your dad.” Bakura laughs as Ryou pushes him back onto Athan's bed.

“Shut up. I think I did good. At least it didn't fall on the floor.”

“Came close though.” Athan dodges a punch from his dad as he moves to get the daggers.

“Come here angel.” Bakura pulls Ryou down on top of him, the two instantly start kissing.

“Not on my bed.” Athan toys with one of the daggers, balancing it on his fingertip.

“He is right, Kura. Not on our son's bed besides I'm kinda sleepy.” Ryou rest his head on Bakura's chest, arms wrapping around him.

“Me too.” Bakura closes his eyes.

“Why don't you go to your own room?” Athan pouts.

“What did you say last night? Oh, yeah…don't want to.” Bakura smirks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Grand ma, play with me!” Adrian runs over to Joey, his small hands pulling at the sandy blonde's loose blue jeans.

“What you want to play, baby?” Joey bends down and lifts up the little boy.

“What Grandpa and Grampy are playing.” The little sandy blonde points to Seto and Yami who are sitting on the carpet in Yami's room, each on opposite sides of the coffee table.

“You can't play that, sweetie.”

“Why?”

“Well, I don't even know how to play.”

“What is it?”

“Duel something, its some kind of card game. Why don't we play cars and trucks?”

“No.”

“You want to play a board game?”

“No.”

“Then what do you want to play?” Joey moves over to the loveseat behind Seto and sits down.

“I want Poppy and Poppa.”

“I know but they're busy in a meeting.”

“Can I go?” The little boy turns pouting purple eyes to Joey.

“I'm sorry, baby, but you can't go to the meeting.”

“When they be back?”

“In a little bit, sugar.”

Adrian pouts as he leans forward to rest his chin on top of Seto's dark brown head. His little hand reaches around to point at a card in his grandfather's hand.

“A dragon!”

“Yep. That's a blue eyes white dragon.” Seto smirks as he removes the card from his hand to set on the table. “And it just took the rest of your grampy's life points.”

“I can't believe you won.” Yami snatches up his cards.

“You always play better when Yugi is with you.” Joey comments from behind his mate.

“Where is Yugi anyway?”

“I think he went to check on Kurai.” Joey sits Adrian down on the floor and watches as the little boy walks around Seto to sit in his lap.

“Hey, babe.” Seto wraps his arms around his grandson as he gathers his cards.

“I'm back.” Yugi walks into his room.

“Too late.” Seto smirks.

“What?”

“They played that card game and Yami lost.” Joey brushes a hand through his mate's silky hair.

“Sorry, sweetie.” Yugi giggles as he goes over to a pouting Yami.

“I never loose when you're with me.”

“Next time I will be.” Yugi bends down to kiss Yami's forehead.

“How is Kurai?” Joey asks as he watches Seto adjust Adrian in his lap as the little boy looks through his deck of cards.

“Fine. I left him with Akira. Brayden and Raia were doing some research.” Yugi sits down on the floor next to his mate.

“What kind of research, little one?”

“For Joey. I even helped!”

“Thanks Yugi.” Joey smiles sadly.

“What's wrong, Joey?”

“I just don't think they'll ever find anything.”

“Don't say that, puppy.”

“Yeah, Joey. They'll find something one day.” Yugi smiles over at his friend.

“Lets change the subject. I thought that meeting today was for Destroyers so why isn't Brayden and Athan there?” The tall sandy blonde lays down on the loveseat.

“Its not for Destroyers in training.” Yami speaks up.

“Oh. Dare I ask where Athan is?”

“Probably with Brennan causing trouble.” Seto says as he points out another blue eyes white dragon to his grandson.

“I haven't seen Ryou or Bakura so hopefully they're with them.” Yugi leans over onto his mate.

“Hopefully Ryou and Bakura are with who?” Malik comes into the room and sits in one of the chairs.

“Athan and Brennan. What are you doing here?” Joey asks the small pale blonde.

“I was wondering if anyone had seen Zemti around.”

“Nope. Why?”

“He was suppose to come by this morning but he never showed. I went by his room but neither him nor Hikaru is there.”

“I haven't seen Hikaru today either.” Yugi snuggles closer to Yami.

“They're probably off somewhere having a fun time.” Yami chuckles as he wraps his arms around his mate.

“Its not like Zemti not to come by when he said he would though. I'm worried.” Malik picks at the fabric of his white turtleneck.

“Don't be. How far could he have gone? Just go look for him.”

“Marik is. I thought I'd stay around here for a little to see if he showed up.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R 20;You want me to get dad to come in here and play with you?” Akira watches as his little brother sits on his blue comforter.

“No, can't you stay and play?”

“Kurai, I need to get back to my room.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to get back to Brayden and Raia.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to.”

“Why?”

“Ask me that just one more time, little man.” Akira runs over to his little brother, his fingers nimbly tickling the smaller boy.

“Stop…Akira….stop…can't bre…breath.” Kurai laughs as he tries to get away.

“I don't think so.” The tall tri-colored vampire continues to tickle his little brother until he sees movement to his left.

Stopping, Akira stands up straight and looks to were he saw the movement only to see nothing. His dark purple eyes search the room as he moves toward the toy chest.

“What's wrong, Akira?”

“I don't know. I thought I saw something. Must have been my imagination.” Shrugging he turns around to find Kurai missing. “Kurai? Where'd you go?”

Walking over to the two doors in between the beds, Akira opens them to find nothing. Rolling his eyes he gets down on his hands and knees and looks under his little brother's bed. After finding nothing he gets back up.

“Kurai, where are you? Do I have to go get dad and father?” Looking around the room once again Akira rolls his eyes. “Kurai, I'm not in the mood to play. Come out now.”

A swirl of darkness seems to come out of nowhere and engulf him from behind. Dark purple eyes widen as he slowly looses consciousness. The room goes black as he feels himself being dragged away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“ Hey Ryou, Bakura!” Malik smiles as he walks into the twin's bedroom.

“Not Bakura.”

“Oh, sorry Brennan. You look just like your father with all that spiky hair.” Malik moves over to sit on the black bed in front of the other two.

“Hey Malik. What you doing?” Ryou lifts his head from his son's shoulder.

“Looking for Zemti. Marik has looked everywhere but can't find him. You guys haven't seen him, have you?”

“No sorry.”

“I'm getting worried.”

“I'm sure he is fine.” Ryou smiles reassuringly at his friend.

“Everyone is saying that, why don't I believe it?” Malik wraps his arms around himself.

“Because something isn't right.”

“What do you mean, baby?” Ryou asks his youngest son.

“Athan and I felt it last night. Something isn't right in the mansion.”

“What isn't right?” Malik leans forward on the bed.

“Its hard to explain.”

“Well try, baby.” Ryou brushes his fingers through Brennan's soft hair.

“It just feels like something evil is here. It felt like it was in our room last night, that's why we came to your room.” Brennan leans over to rest his head on Ryou's shoulder. “When we're with you guys it doesn't feel like its around.”

“What could it be? Do you think it got Zemti?” Malik stands up and starts pacing back and forth.

“I don't know.”

“Don't know what?” Marik comes into the room.

“Something may have gotten Zemti.” Malik runs into Marik's arms.

“What?”

“Brennan said there is something evil in the mansion and it could have gotten Zemti.” The small pale blonde says in one breath.

“Are you su…” Marik stops as he hears a loud scream. “What was that?”

“It came from next door.” Ryou stands up, Brennan following him.

The four boys run into the hall and down a little ways to the left until they come to a closed door. Malik throws open the door to find Raia sinking into the dark green carpet.

“Dad! Help!” Raia's hands search out anything they can hold onto.

Marik runs into the room and grabs his youngest son's arms, pulling as hard as he can.

“Marik pull harder!” Malik pulls on his mate's arm.

“I'm trying. Something has a good hold of him. Help me pull.” Marik grunts.

Ryou moves around to grab Marik's other arm while Brennan wraps his arms around Ryou's waist and pulls.

“Almost there.” Marik closes his eyes and yanks one last time, all five boys fall to the floor.

“Thanks, father.” Raia pants from his laying position on top of Marik.

“No problem.” Marik mumbles.

“What was that?” Ryou sits up in between Brennan's legs.

“I don't know but it was freezing.” Raia shivers as he moves off of his father and into Malik's arms.

“Oh, honey, are you okay?” Malik rubs his hands up and down Raia's arms.

“Just cold.”

“Maybe we should get out of here.” Ryou stands up.

“Its gone.” Brennan gets up behind his dad.

“Are you sure?” Marik asks.

“Yes.”

“It got Brayden.”

“What?” Malik looks at his shaking son.

“It took Brayden. One minute we were talking and the next he was being pulled into the wall.” Raia points to the wall by the door.

“Great, how are we going to explain this to Seto and Joey?” Marik helps his son and mate off the floor.

“I don't know, I just want to leave.” Raia moves toward the door, his hand dragging Malik with him. “Please, dad, can we just go somewhere else to discuss this?”

“Sure, honey. Come on guys, lets go find the others.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

220;Father, lets go back to dad and Brennan.” Athan moves around the two couches in the middle of the game room.

“Why?” Bakura lays his pool cue down on the red velvet table top.

“Brennan was scared.”

“What?”

“Something happened to make Brennan scared for a moment.”

“How do you know that?” Bakura moves toward the door with his son.

“I can understand his feelings and he can understand mine. We've been able to ever since we were little.”

“And you never told me or your dad this?”

“We didn't want to freak you out.” Athan turns dark brown eyes to his father.

“He isn't scared anymore though, right?”

“Right.”

“What do you think happened to make your brother scared?”

“For the past couple nights we've been feeling something evil in the mansion.”

“What evil?” Bakura watches as his oldest son shifts from foot to foot.

“We don't know. It just doesn't feel right. I have a feeling that is what made Brennan scared. So can we go check on him and dad now?”

“Yeah.”
